ps: This chapter is for the addition of the leader of the "people under the phoenix tree". I don't remember whether I added it or not when I gave the reward. Let's make it up first.

...

When Wu Zixu built the capital of Wu, there was a hill next to the Wu Palace. Apart from building the palace, he also regarded this mountain as the royal prison of Wu State. Because there are many stone chambers in the mountain, the ancestors of the Yue people lived here thousands of years ago, but now, the stone chambers here have become the cages for the King of Yue.

The raindrops hit the mountain, seeped into the soil, and reached the top of the stone chamber. They slowly gathered together, and fell tickly into Goujian's mouth. King Yue stretched out his tongue, greedily licking the muddy water, moisturizing his chapped lips and smoking throat.

When Gou Jian was locked in, he briefly glanced at the room by candlelight. Except for the wooden door, there were hard and cold rocks on all sides. When the door slammed shut, he couldn't see anything clearly. There was no light inside. He was no different from a blind man. He could not tell the difference between day and night, and the food was scarce, only once a day, and the water was not enough.

Gradually, he could no longer tell the difference between falling asleep and waking up, and in the darkness, memories came quietly to his mind.

That year was the "Battle of Carrying Li", the most glorious moment in his life. On the banks of the five lakes, the three hundred dead soldiers of the Yue Kingdom committed suicide. The Wu people were stunned.

Gou Jian was brave and mighty at that time. He slashed left and right with his sword, slashing his opponents off the car one by one, while laughing. The old king of Wu, Helu, was chopped off half of his leg by Linggu Fu Yige, and fled back with a lame leg, and died not long after that.

After that battle, Goujian became a hero. He forced his father to abdicate. With the cheers and support of the Yue people, he became king in Kuaiji City!

He is a Yuyue man with tattoos and broken hair. He does not have the crown worn by the monarchs of the Central Plains, only a sword! Ou Yezi personally smelted and cast the pure Jun sword! It was the symbol of the King of Yue, and the cold light flickered.

In a daze, Goujian wanted to reach out and grab the hilt, turn the sword into a dragon, cut off the shackles that bound him, and split open the stone chamber that imprisoned him. But the long sword shattered as soon as he touched it. It was all in vain, only the sharp pieces were left to tear the skin, and the blood spattered wildly...

Gou Jian woke up suddenly, and it was still dark all around. He stretched out his hand, only to touch the cold wall. Gou Jian dared not think about how deep this stone room was under the rock mass. He did not know how many prisoners of Wu State and sons and grandsons who had failed political struggles were buried here.

He is also a loser, and the loser is a thief.

His Yue Kingdom was buried in the ground together with him, and it will never be recovered, and his cherished swords, Chunjun, Juque, Haocao, Liluo... were also transported back to Wu Palace by Fuchai as trophies and hung on the palace wall. It was used as a talk to show off to the monarchs of Chen and Cai.

"God is above, what's the crime of Goujian, to be tortured like this..." Goujian turned over on the smudged straw, he was going crazy.

Day after day, sitting still and waiting for death, this is what it feels like to be a knife and me, how helpless, how helpless, how unwilling! Gou Jian will remember this feeling for a lifetime!

The hallucination came quietly, and Fuchai's face appeared in front of him in the darkness. He hugged Goujian's wife, and the smile under his beard was mocking. "The king in the past is a prisoner today."

Wu Zixu also appeared from the darkness, his eyes were like knives, and he slashed Goujian with one knife at a time, but the muscles on his face did not twitch. Given!

There is also Bo Xi's swollen face, greedy little eyes, covered with gold, silver and precious stones, and pearl tortoiseshell hands sticking out from his wide sleeves, constantly asking for favors from the Yue Kingdom. Hundreds of thousands of people in the country of Vietnam have to work hard to feed this fat man. He said that it is good to let Goujian go back to the country, as long as he can offer twice the benefits...

There were even Fan Li and Wen Zhong, who had sworn before that they would accompany them back to the country for rejuvenation, but Fan Li in Wu State aside from squinting to observe this and that, he would only help himself clean up the horse dung and let him follow him. You came to Wu Kingdom to do this servant thing? Although he had also acted flexibly and helped himself block many conspiracies, Goujian thought he didn't do enough. There is also Wenzhong, who stayed in the Yue Kingdom for three years and bribed it for three years, why did King Wu still refuse to let go! And let their treatment go from bad to worse!

He hated, he resented, in such a desperate situation, if he was replaced by ordinary people, he would have burst into tears, but Goujian did not have a single tear. Even at this stage of the field, he is still the King of Yue, Goujian, and his sorrow and anger are silent in his body.

Tolerate! Heavenly emperors, ghosts and gods can't save him, as long as this word can make him get through this difficult time.

As long as you live, there is a chance, a chance for revenge!

Be sure to believe: hard-working people, God will live up to it!

I don't know how long it took, probably after eating more than 30 meals, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

Gou Jian was half asleep and half awake, at first he thought it was a dream, because he hadn't heard anything other than talking to himself for too long. He had chapped lips and a dull pain in his stomach, but he didn't get sick. It was a miracle, and thanks to the lowly life of the past three years, he had honed his physique.

When the heavy wooden door opened with a babble, the sudden light stinged his eyes, but it was not the time to deliver food, and Goujian suddenly realized something.

Maybe King Wu wanted to let him go, or maybe he wanted to kill him...

Clinging tightly to the heavy shackles, the sword was not there, it was his only weapon. Gou Jian decided that if it was the latter, before he died, he must tore the throat of the visitor, taste the taste of blood, and let the people of Wu know that the king of Yuyue was by no means a cowardly and afraid of death!

It's a pity that in this life, only one King Wu can be killed...

"Your Majesty!?" The visitor held a torch, and after looking at the door for a while, he fell to the ground with a plop and burst into tears at Gou Jian.

The voice was surprisingly familiar, but it took Goujian a while to remember.

"Uncle, is that you?"

Sure enough, it was Fan Li, the resentment was hidden in his heart, Gou Jian put away his hideous face, showed a smile, stretched out his hand to support Fan Li's shoulder, since he entered Wu State, he was no longer lonely: "I know, you never abandon me..."

...

"Your Majesty, this minister has brought wine."

Fan Li offered the wine made from glutinous rice with both hands, and Goujian clasped it tightly in both hands, ignoring that it was turbid and inferior wine, and swallowed thirsty, the wine juice dripped from the corners of his mouth and dripped into his stained beard, moisturizing him. A dry heart.

Fan Li, on the other hand, saw the light of the torch again, and glanced at the stone room. The place was damp and dirty, the straw on the ground was full of excrement and urine, and it was moldy, and Goujian also stinks extremely. It seems that Fuchai really wanted to kill, or he just forgot about Gou Jian, otherwise he would not let Wu Zixu and Wang Sunluo keep Gou Jian here for practice. Seeing this situation, even Fan Li felt a little sad.

There was a lot of alcohol, and Gou Jian kept drinking until he could no longer stop. "How long has it been since I came in?" He wiped his mouth and asked weakly.

"There is more than one month." Fan Li said concisely.

"This wine is the sweetest drink I've ever had, and the nectar and jade dew can't compare to it. Is this a Zhuangxing wine for me?" Goujian regained his strength and narrowed his mean eyes.

"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty, things are still turning around."

"Is it?"

Gou Jian smiled bitterly and said: "I was trapped in Kuaiji before, and the reason why I didn't die and the country was destroyed was because of Uncle Shao's strategy. But since I entered Wu, how to help me return to China, Uncle Shao has not made up his mind. , this is definitely not something I want to see. Now Goujian's life exists or not, only the king plans it!"

After he said it, he bowed to the end, and actually entrusted his life to Fan Li.

Fan Li hurriedly said to the worshipers: "The minister is incompetent, and it is the crime of the minister to let the emperor suffer, but the struggle between the court and the court in the state of Wu is fierce, and the state of Yue happens to be sandwiched between the king of Wu, Xiangbang, and Dazai. Let us be in trouble. But after observation, the key to this matter is not Wu Zixu, not Dazaixi, but only King Wu!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you still don't know that King Wu is ill and won't heal for more than a month. Wu Zixu is taking advantage of this and wants to kill your Majesty!"

He explained the cause and effect, and Gou Jian's face was ashen, and he said in awe: "If this is the case, then my life will end..."

"Otherwise, Dazai will fight for a chance to meet the King of Wu for the king. I hear the way of people and ministers~lightnovelpub.net~ The minister is worried, the king still has to maintain the original respect and go to greet the king of Wu. ill..."

"Does this make it possible to gain the trust of King Wu?" Gou Jian didn't believe it, so he bowed again: "The doctor must have a plan, but after all, what should I do."

Fan Li hesitated for a while, and looked at Goujian, feeling a little unbearable in his heart.

This plan is not very decent.

Gou Jian was in a hurry, and urged: "I didn't listen to the doctor's words before, and I have the shame of Kuaiji. From now on, I will do whatever the young master and Ziqin say. At this time of life and death, there is no room for hesitation. What strategy, I hope the doctor will teach me soon!"

This is what you said, Fan Li thought to himself: With the temperament of the emperor, it is easy to hold grudges in everything. In the future, I will definitely blame me, but now, there is nothing to do. If he wants to complain, just complain...

"When the time comes, your Majesty can ask for the dung of the King of Wu and taste it, observe its color, smell its taste, and bow down to congratulate you, saying that you have heard from the Wuzhu of the Yue Kingdom that the dung will die in the wrong time, and it will be in the right time. Qi is born. King Wu's dung conforms to the season's qi, indicating that the serious illness will be cured!"
