ps: 5,000-word chapter, I wrote too much without knowing it...

"Zheng Dan, what are you doing here?"

Looking at Zheng Dan, the woman who was bound and kneeling on the ground in front of her, Fan Li questioned with her back turned.

Although Zheng Dan lost the brilliance of silk and satin decoration after two years of siege life, it added some natural beauty. Now she has been hit hard, her stomach cramps, and her complexion is a little pale, but she looks even more pitiful, even better than Fan Lisong. When she entered Wu.

But the more this happened, the colder and colder Fan Li's face became.

As far as Fan Li is concerned, the collection and training of beautiful women in those years was just an idle child who helped Goujian recover the country. Among them, Xizi is his most successful work. At least her appearance of Shenyu Luoyan successfully attracted Zhao Hou's attention. The more Zhao Wuxi pretended not to care about her, the more unforgettable it was. She did not play a key role, but at least it made it more difficult for Zhao Hou and Wu to reconcile, and the defeat of Fucha in Huaibei gave Yue Guo a chance for revenge.

After that, Xizi was of little use to the Yue Kingdom.

As for Zheng Dan, as far as Fan Li is concerned, she is an inferior product of failure. Although this girl whom Fan Li found from Zheng Guo's daughter-in-law is smart, she has a few more pretensions. Her beauty and dance steps are not as good as Xizi's. The swordsmanship learned by the virgin girl is even better than that of Xizi...

At first, through the control of her family, Fan Li imposed orders on Zheng Dan, letting her compete for favor in the Wu Palace, blowing the wind by the side of Fuchai's pillow, angering him to be enemies with Zhao Guo - Compared with the unpredictable Zhao Wuxi, Fuchai's heart is simply Simple as a child, this king who is full of rebellion against his parents no matter how old he lives, can easily be understood by the seasoned Fan Li. Therefore, although Zheng Dan didn't do much on the stage of Suzhou, Wu Zixu's scolding of her was enough to make Fu Chai want to protect him, and he hated Wu Zixu even more.

Therefore, Zheng Dan also has three points of credit for the death of Wu members.

After Fuchai was defeated and returned, Fan Li had a premonition that Zheng Dan might lose his favor. In the mind of making the best use of everything, he gave Zheng Dan a second order: use her to learn swordsmanship at the place of the Yuenu and wait for an opportunity to kill. Poor dead man!

He didn't expect it to be effective, but he never thought that this order would make Zheng Dan completely break with the Yue Kingdom and betray Fan Li. Disregarding the lives of her family, she cut off all contact with the Yue Kingdom and began to follow Fuchai with all her might.

Looking at the dagger that was knocked out and the dagger found from her body, Fan Li sneered: "I will help you escape from the nun and place it in Kuaiji, give you delicious food and fine wine, and let the Yue nv teach you swordsmanship. , but you attacked its master and wanted to assassinate me?"

Zheng Dan lowered her head, Fan Li's kick was so ruthless that it almost broke her heart. At this moment, her face was pale and there was blood on the corner of her mouth. Facing Fan Li's anger, she raised her head and said weakly: "If there is a Yue female five If you have the ability, you will risk your life to protect the king and break through the encirclement; or break into the camp at the foot of Guxu Mountain and assassinate the king of Yue, why bother to search for the young uncle in the ruined city of Wu State?"

"Then what are you doing here? Do you regret seeing Wu State's death?"

"Of course, this concubine is here for King Wu."

She lowered her head and touched the ground, bowed her head to Fan Li, and moved forward with her knees, begging: "Fifteen years ago, King Wu had besieged King Yue on Mount Kuaiji, and he only needs to order the fire to be set on fire. Mountains, the country of Yue will perish. But King Wu couldn't bear it, and after making peace with King Yue, he returned to the country, leaving behind King Yue's society. Only then will the young uncle send his concubines to Wu, and there will be today's encirclement of Guxu. King Wu has been isolated and helpless. He hopes that the King of Yue can read the same thing he did back then, to forgive Wu's sins, leave his life, and Taibo's blood to eat Sheji..."

Fan Li said, "If the King of Wu has this intention, he can send an envoy Rotan to come down and explain the situation to the King of Yue. Why should a woman in the harem do the work for him?"

Zheng Dan was a little anxious: "Because the concubine knew that the king of Yue only listened to the doctor's words. When the doctor was in Wucheng as a hostage, the king of Wu also admired the doctor very much and invited him in person, but unfortunately the doctor refused. The concubine hopes that the doctor can read In the care of King Wu back then, I persuaded King Yue to let King Wu go..."

What she said was very emotional, but based on Fan Li's understanding of Fuchai, he would rather die than bow his head. Most of this is the little woman's own opinion.

So he refused: "In the case of Kuaiji, God gave the Kingdom of Yue to King Wu, but King Wu didn't want it. Now God gave the Kingdom of Wu to King Yue, can King Yue violate the mandate of heaven?"

"What's more, from the king's point of view, in the three years of Wu State, the husband sent only humiliation and suffering! How can I survive the death of the king's humiliation? It has been fifteen years since the Yue State planned to attack Wu. Isn’t it a joke that we are busy handling state affairs and training soldiers and soldiers all night long? Now that we are about to succeed but give up so easily, isn’t it a joke? The Fuchai on the Guxu stage is right in front of you!"

Fan Li said coldly: "The death of the Wu Kingdom is just ten days. I don't care why you give up on Fuchai, but on the day of attacking Guxu's platform, I will still march forward!"

Zheng Dan's last hope was also extinguished by the man in front of him, so he gritted his teeth and spit at Fan Li: "Doctor Young Master, you are more vicious than ten years ago! Why did Xizi and I become blind in the first place? Fall in love with you?"

Fan Li was shocked when a woman who once admired him made such a comment, but he still didn't say anything, he just smiled lonely: "I don't know how Xizi will be, but you and I have guessed it, as long as you enter the Wu Palace, you will be counted. Within a year, they will definitely defect from the country of Vietnam.”

As for Zheng Dan, Fan Li saw her clearly the first time he saw her. This little girl couldn't bear the kindness of men to her, so Fan Li rescued her from Nvlu.

But this woman, she is also a bird on the branch. It is easier to change your mind than a courtier to choose a king.

"Also, you are not a Yue person, nor a Yue minister, why should you die for the more effective..."

Fan Li shook his head mockingly, walked to her side, and said to her, "But I won't let you go back to Guxu's platform. Now there are two choices. To the King of Yue..."

Hearing this, Zheng Dan trembled all over and shook his head desperately. When they were in Kuaiji, they had met Gou Jian several times, the king with a long neck and a beak, exuding a gloomy aura. Seeing it, he would never end well. , perhaps worse than death.

"Secondly, when you want to break with the country of Yue, and leave the platform of Guxu privately for the sake of Fuchai, you are already ready..."

Fan Li picked up the dagger found on Zheng Dan's body, threw it to her side, and asked someone to untie her.

Zheng Dan stroked his still painful abdomen, raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Fan Li. After a long time, he said bitterly: Doctor Shaobo, you are so loyal to the country of Yue and the king of Yue, like a running dog, but also Don't die, do you really think that King Yue's narrow and benevolent heart will divide the country with you after Wu is destroyed? "

"I know." Fan Li was so calm, as if he knew this fact a long time ago.

When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys cook them. The King of Yue and his people can share weal and woe, but not share joy. Fan Li couldn't be more clear about this.

"But as long as I am still a minister for one day, I will be conscientious and loyal."

This is the unparalleled country scholar, and it is the only thing left after he has paid these countless prices, including his own conscience and pity...

Zheng Dan's last struggles were of no avail. She picked up the dagger, but did not stab her neck, but twisted it on the hilt of the dagger. The bronze beast head decoration on it fell, and there was a small In the dark grid, Zheng Dan took out a blue pill from it.

"This is yesterday, the king gave me the poison."

She stood up, holding the pill in her hand, looking at Fan Li, showing off her happiness, as if her hand was not a poison, but a luminous pearl that was unparalleled in the world.

"Your Majesty said, he already knew that I was a spy for the country of Yue."

…

Zheng Dan came from a lowly background. Before entering the Wu Kingdom, she was a little prostitute who was bullied by the women in Zhengdi. By selling her looks and dancing skills to the nobles and doctors of the Zheng Kingdom, she survived in the market place of the Zheng Kingdom and supported her family.

Fan Li redeemed her from his daughter-in-law. She was so grateful, but she didn't prevent herself from being led into a bigger fire pit by him.

They are involved in the enmity between countries and are cultivated like weapons. After they are used to achieve their goals, they are abandoned without pity, allowing them to break, rust, and wither...

Such was the sad fate of these women who were spies.

But how could they have known this in the first place? During the three years in Kuaiji, Zheng Dan, Xizi and others learned etiquette, dress, dance and even swordsmanship. Whenever they made progress, the handsome and elegant young uncle would show a gratifying smile, which made their hearts flutter.

As everyone knows, every progress they make has only become a better tool for the country in Fan Li's eyes.

It was not until he was sent to Fuchai by Fan Li that Zheng Dan suddenly understood everything, but it was too late.

The most painful thing in the world is to be betrayed by someone you admire. Zheng Dan's heart was ashes, if it wasn't for her family in Yue Kingdom, she wanted to kill herself, but that night, she ushered in her true king.

Fuchai's appearance is tall and strong, and he looks very imposing and inhuman, and his body is covered with terrible scars from fighting.

Zheng Dan was only going to perform the room-in-the-box techniques he learned in Kuaiji tremblingly, but Fu Chai was an experienced conqueror.

He couldn't help but push Zheng Dan down, and then gently took off each silk armor for her, gentle and firm.

Under the candlelight, he stretched out his fingers to caress her chin, lifted her head, and made her look directly into his eyes.

Between the beds, he actually gave Zheng Dan a feeling of warmth, a kind of tenderness that she did not expect to find in this king.

After that, she enjoyed brocade clothing and jade food that was tens of millions of times better than before. Fuchai never let his women suffer any grievances.

He was very fortunate to Zheng Dan and built Gusu Terrace for her, which made her feel that she was really the wife of a great king, and the whole world revolved around her for the first time.

As if she was reborn, she began to forget the past, and even rejected being a spy for the country of Yue, but she had no choice but to secretly provide a lot of information, and even contributed to Wu Zixu's death. Watching her with vigilant eyes made Zheng Dan extremely uncomfortable.

But the good times did not last long. When the Yue Kingdom tore up the covenant and raised troops to take revenge, Zheng Dan knew that the good days were gone forever.

Because she was sent by the Vietnamese, the prince and palace servants treated her with cold eyes. When Fuchai was defeated in Huaibei and returned with the remnants of the defeated general, Zheng Dan thought that he would kill himself in anger!

But Fu Chai didn't do anything. Even though he frowned in the predicament, he was still extremely kind to Zheng Dan.

"The widow knows that you are a spy of Vietnam..."

"But so what? If it weren't for the widow being confused, Yue Guo would have placed 10,000 people beside the widow, and Wu Xiangguo would not have been forced to death by the widow.

What kind of skill is it to spill failure and anger on one's own woman?

Zheng Dan's hand holding the dagger suddenly softened, and he no longer had any killing intent towards King Wu.

He frankly admitted his fault and issued an edict that he was guilty of his own crimes. This great defeat woke him up suddenly. The husband who had been diligent in government for three years and avenged his father had returned!

However, the national fortunes of the state of Wu have been declining, and it is difficult to revitalize it.

In the next nine years, Zheng Dan was able to continue to accompany Fuchai. The extravagant life of the past is gone forever. The gourmet Jiarou on her desk was replaced by rice, rice and fish, and the silk clothes on her body It was replaced with rough kudzu, and even had to weave cloth and grow vegetables by himself, and even the Terrace of Gusu was transformed from a palace into a fortress.

However, Zheng Dan felt a happiness that she had never felt before. She and her husband helped each other to overcome difficulties together. They also entered the heart of King Wu, and found that, unlike his appearance, he was so innocent, proud when he was proud, and proud when he hated him. Just hate, never cover up, but it is easy to make a big mistake.

The death of Zhuan crucian carp and 3,000 dead soldiers made him heartbroken, and Wu Zixu's ghost and prophecy lingering in Suzhou made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

His ambition was slowly withering away, and he only hoped to keep Wu State alive in his lifetime.

But even with this small request, Haotian was indifferently unwilling to lend a helping hand.

In the past, the huge Wu Kingdom was left with only a corner of Jiangdong and Jiangbei. As the Chu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom advanced day by day, the current situation became difficult day by day. After two years of besieging the city, Suzhou ran out of food, and the husband Chai betrayed the relatives and left, but perhaps it was guilt, but Zheng Dan resolutely accompanied him, and he still comforted him in the dead of night.

"The outer guo was broken, the king retreated to guard the platform of Guxu, the mountains and rivers were exhausted, but he never had the idea of ​​surrendering and stealing his life. Just yesterday, he took out two poisons, one for himself, and the other for me, He also said that when the Yue people attacked the mountain, they would commit suicide together with me, only to be able to get together again as husband and wife when they reached the Yellow Springs..."

At this moment, Zheng Dan realized that Fan Li had already disappeared in her heart, and only King Wu was left. She could only rely on her own modest strength to come out as a moth to the flame, with a ten thousandth of hope. , see if you can undo your big mistake.

But it was still too late.

Recalling the past, tears flowed from the beauty's face and fell on her hands and the ground.

But Fan Li still looked indifferent. After staying by King Yue's side for a long time, his heart became cold, which was like a husband's difference, like the fiery heat of the scorching sun, which could warm the people around him.

Zheng Dan no longer looked at him, but turned around, facing the southwest corner of Wucheng, besieged by the Vietnamese army to the point where he couldn't get out of Guxu's platform, and bowed affectionately, with tears in his eyes:

"The concubine can no longer serve the king, take one step first, and only look under the yellow spring, and then become a husband and wife!"

After saying that, Zheng Dan raised his head and took the poison to commit suicide with the graceful posture of a swan with his neck bent!

…

I don't know how long it took, until Zheng Dan's body gradually lost its temperature, Fan Li let out a late sigh, but said nothing.

"Doctor Shaobo..."

After the doctor who went out just now came back, he looked at Zheng Dan on the ground with a hint of pity and asked, "Doctor, what should I do with this woman's corpse? Do you want to send someone to bury it?"

Fan Li's words shocked him.

"After King Wu succeeded in attacking Zhou, he entered Chaoge Lutai, went to the place of Zhou, and shot three arrows with a bow and arrow at King Zhou's charred corpse. He struck him, cut off King Zhou's head with a yellow yue, and hung it on the Great White Flag. There was also Da Ji, who committed suicide with King Zhou, and King Wu shot three arrows. He also struck his body with a light Lu sword, cut off his head with a black yue, and hung it. On the flag of Xiaobai. In this way, I declare to the world that I am seeking Zhou on behalf of the heavens and asking him about the sin of Sichen, the hen..."

"Nowadays, when the king is crusade against the poor, in addition to the shame of Xuehuiji, he must also ask him to kill loyal ministers indiscriminately and listen to the slander of the demon girl. Only in this way can he justify the name, annex Wu State, and convince Wu people."

Fan Li took a last look at Zheng Dan's dead body, and said silently in his heart: I'm sorry.

Then he said to Kucheng: "Doctor, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, do you understand? This woman's ending has been decided since the day she entered Wu... Please behead her and send it to the king... "

…

At the same time, in the "Bi Li Palace" in Ye City of Zhao State, on the banks of Zhangshui River, the hostess Xi Shi suddenly felt uneasy for a while, stopped chatting, and put a hand on his chest...

"Sister?" Ji Ying stood up nervously and approached to see what happened to her.

It has been almost ten years since Xi Shi entered the Zhao Palace, and it is not unfavorable, but he has never had any children. Last year, he finally became pregnant. Seeing that he was pregnant in August, when it was about to ripen, nothing should go wrong!

"I'm fine with my concubine..."

Being pregnant with Liujia, Xi Shi's body is getting wider, and his smile is much wider than before. He is favored by Zhao Wuxi and supported by Ji Ying. He also had a good time in Changle Palace, but I don't know what happened today, but I feel inexplicable. Sad, as if something had been lost forever, tears could not stop flowing down her pretty face.

With tears in her eyes, her hands tightly folded to her chest, she said softly, "It's just my concubine's heart, it hurts again..."
