Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 892: cross the river

ps: There will be more chapters in a while

"The fog and rain are lewd, and the white glue is only."

This is the Chu people's imagination of the land of Wu and Yue on the eastern seashore. Every May and June, the plums on the branches turn from green to yellow, and the drizzle from the sky begins to continue. Yes, the dense canopy is full of water droplets, and Wuzhong, which was originally a network of rivers, has turned into a swamp country.

Jiangnan is poor and wet, and her husband died early. In this hot and humid environment, people are very easy to get sick after a rain, drinking unclean water, or a cold after indulging in sex.

Hugh said that among the poor and common people, even the king of Wu, who was clothed in fine clothes and food, fell ill, and it was a long-term illness with a high fever that did not heal for more than a month.

With his illness, Gou Jian has been kept in the stone room with no one to care, making Fan Li Wenzhong anxious, Fan Li can only ask Wu Guo Dazai Bo Xi, if he can let him go to visit Goujian.

As the No. 2 official of Wu State, Bo Xi naturally couldn't get involved with these ugly people who lost the country. In the past three years, whenever anything happened, he arranged for his cronies to get in touch with Fan Li and Wen Zhong. , or his son-in-law, Qu Ao from Jin.

Qu Ao was in his twenties and had been in Wu for ten years. The little official who was struggling in the burial pit was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a tall and strong doctor. After marrying Dazai's daughter and having a pair of children, he still grew a beard, and his words and deeds revealed an aristocratic arrogance.

"Doctor Qu..." Fan Li bowed respectfully to him and asked, "The widow has been imprisoned in the stone room by King Wu for more than a month, and has not been released yet, I don't know..."

"Returning? It's impossible." Qu Ao waved his hand and said to Fan Li: "Xiangbang made a statement, saying that since ancient times, the people who ruled the world attacked the enemy country, and if they defeated them, they would kill their rulers, such as the Shang Dynasty. Tang Fawei, Gu, Kunwu, King Wen of Zhou attacked Chong and Kanli, so there was no fear of revenge later on, and finally the calamity of the descendants was relieved. Now the King of Yue is rebellious, and since they are all imprisoned in the stone chamber, he will definitely If you hold grudges, it is better to kill him as soon as possible, otherwise, he will definitely become a worry for Wu."

"Ah..." After Wen Zhong returned to China, the remaining doctor, Gao Ru, was nervous and said, "So, what can I do?"

Fan Li was still calm, and then he bowed again: "The widow has always done his duty in Wu State, being a bull and a horse without any complaints, never dared to be disobedient, never neglected the Dazai, and hoped that the Taizai would save him."

Qu Ao looked left and right, and said: "Of course Dazai was there to help you, he said in front of Xiangbang that Duke Huan of Qi had defeated Lu many times in the past, but he did not destroy their society, but respectfully and respectfully. He worshipped Zhou Gong's temple and regarded Lu as a friendly state. Duke Wen of Jin captured Cao Gonggong, who had been rude to him, but spared his life. The princes therefore praised their morality and recorded it in the history books. Now if the king really pardoned Gou Jian, Then the merit and fame are above the two nobles, and they will be praised by the world..."

Fu Chai, who likes fake names, should be able to listen to these words. Fan Li said, "What Dazai said is exactly what we thought!"

Qu Ao smiled and said, "So the King of Wu promised that when he recovered, he would release Lord Yue from the stone chamber."

Saying that, Qu Ao turned to his side, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Fan Li, "Doctor Shaobo, it's getting late, just come with me."

...

Wucheng, the new capital built by Wu Zixu under the supervision of Wu Zixu, was a low-lying water city in Zeguo, with a southern style. Wu people drive boats and Jin people ride horses. There are eight gates of water and land in the city, one horizontal and one vertical with wide river channels. From the big city where Fan Li and the others are located, they also need to take a boat to enter through the water gate.

The night was dark, the drizzle was falling, and the boat was running on the river. In front was the boatman with the oars, and the boatwoman behind the helm. Qu Ao and Fan Li hid under the Wu Peng and stood side by side.

Qu Ao looked outside, stroking his short beard, wondering what he was thinking, while Fan Li sorted out all the things that had happened in the past three years in his mind. After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"Doctor Qu, is King Wu seriously ill?"

"The high fever continued, vomiting and diarrhea, and the whole person lost a circle. As we all know, the sick tiger has the worst temper. The young uncle rejected the king Zhengpi before, which really annoyed him..."

Fan Li smiled bitterly and said, "So, is the widow monarch still implicated by me?"

"It's not exactly the same, but I can't figure it out. The state of Wu is a hegemonic state in the south, and the state of Yue is a small state that has lost its way. A worthy minister chooses a good tree to live in. Why should a doctor guard Yuejun so much, and he would rather be a slave with him? You don't want to be a doctor of Wu State?"

"When Fan Li was in the state of Chu, he was a madman that no one could look up to. After he came to the state of Yue, he was a doctor, and the monarch was with me, and he had the grace of supporting me. How can you think that the birds will leave the wood they perch on and give up? This is not what a scholar should do."

"Scholar of the country, Doctor Young Master, you are really a scholar of the country." Qu Ao's words could not be heard whether they were sincere praise or implied irony. "Is this why you refused Zhao's invitation?"

This matter is secret and few people know about it, but only need to think about Qu Ao's identity, it is not surprising for him to know about this matter, Fan Li smiled: "It was Zhao Qing who was in love by mistake... It is enough for Zhao to have my master's plan. Dominating the Central Plains, Fan Li, a mediocre person, will also add to the chaos, what's the matter..."

"Doctor Shaobo said it lightly. You have missed a lot by rejecting Zhao Shangqing's invitation."

Qu Ao was quite emotional today, and he stopped the topic appropriately. He is now the head of the Qu family of Wu State, and he has no contact with the Zhao family anymore. Even his nephew became the general of the state of Lu. He could only forcibly suppress his joy. laugh. When he came to Wu State, didn't he miss a lot of things? Sister, nephew, and the honor of making contributions to the Zhao family...

However, Zhao Wuxi's call did not come. He could only continue to stick to the hot and humid south, running around for Bo Xi's greed, while secretly executing Zhao's orders.

At this point, the goals of both sides are actually the same: to secretly protect the Yue people and help Goujian return to China!

Qu Ao vaguely felt that the Zhao family was playing a big game on Wu Yue's side, and he, a **** who crossed the river, had been lurking since Wu Guo and Zhao family had a close relationship ten years ago, and slowly and slowly Infiltrated into the nine palaces of the enemy general.

Therefore, on the awning boat with the bleak rain, he revealed to Fan Li softly: "Originally, the king had planned to let the Yue-jun return to the country, but Xiangbang came up with a ruthless move, and he entered the palace again, saying that the king's So the reason for getting sick is because the ghost of the late king is dissatisfied that he did not kill Goujian, if he can kill him, he will definitely recover from the serious illness!"

Fan Li pinched himself hard, Wu Zixu's move was really a no-brainer, even the ghost of Wu Wang Helu moved out.

"So the king hesitated again. Whether to kill or continue to imprison, he has not yet made a decision, but it is only in the past few days. Doctor Young Master, Yuejun's current situation is very bad! This, maybe you can see him. It's the last time, Dazai has nothing to do, if you have any ideas, use them quickly..."

Fan Li fell silent again. The Bian Hei boat was moving very slowly, but it was always moving, getting closer and closer to the brightly lit Wu Palace.

Seeing that Fan Li was silent, Qu Ao thought that he had nothing to do, and continued to persuade: "The state of Wu is dangerous, and the struggle in the DPRK is extremely cruel. If the king of Yue is killed, I am afraid that you, an old minister of the state of Yue, will be very difficult to be killed here. Reuse, it is better to go north to join the Zhao family, with your talents, you may be able to achieve a career..."

"Doctor Qu." Fan Li interrupted him.

"King Wu is so ill, why did he think of a way to invite the 'Ling Que' who practiced medicine in the Song and Lu areas?"

Qu Ao was stunned for a moment, then his anger surged. He felt that Fan Li didn't know how to praise him. It would be great if he could go north obediently like Mo Xie's mother and daughter, but he thought of Zhao Wuxi's secret letter asking him to assist Fan Li and Wen Zhong, and let the King of Yue return to the country. Then he suppressed it again and explained patiently: "King Wu felt that these doctors were from the Zhao family and did not want them to prescribe medicine for him, so he just asked Wu Zhu of Wu to pray for him. It's gotten better in a few days..."

Fan Li nodded, took out the yarrow in his hand, and squeezed it at will, two long and three short.

Qu Ao wondered: "What is the young master doing?"

"Since I can't ask people~lightnovelpub.net~, I have to ask ghosts and gods." Fan Li smiled, and he couldn't blame him for being superstitious. This is his specialty. , which is even more accurate than Confucius's "seventy-seven per cent". The result he calculated was that King Wu would not die this time. If Haotian did not intend to destroy the Yue Kingdom, then hope it would be accurate.

King Wu is not a person who trusts others easily, but once he gains his trust and gratitude, everything is easy to talk about.

After a sway, the clapper sounded, and the boat docked. Fan Li also had a problem in his heart. He bowed to Qu Ao Chang: "Thank you for today's matter, Dr. Qu, but Fan Li has one more thing to ask for."

Qu Ao sighed: "I can only do my best."

"I also hope that Dazai can speak for the State of Yue one last time, and obtain a chance for the widow to meet the King of Wu. If this is the case, no matter what the outcome is, the State of Yue in Japan will thank the doctor, Dazai, and others with generous gifts. …”

He raised his head, his eyes resolute: "There is also the doctor's real lord, Zhao Shangqing! If the Zhao family can save the country of Yue, the grace of the grass will not be forgotten!"
