Spring and Autumn GL

45. Attempt to escape

After some analysis, Zheng Dan felt that it was not safe for Fu Chai to live in the State of Wu, and since Xi Shi hadn't escaped yet, if the State of Yue really took advantage of the chaos to attack, it would be tantamount to catching turtles in a urn and catching them all. If it's not Fucha, the two of them will be alive.So in a blink of an eye, he said:

"It's a long way to the Jin Kingdom, and my concubine is afraid that the army will lose morale if the war drags on for a long time, so I want to lead the troops out."

Fucha was shocked: "How can this be done? How can you lead troops to fight when you are pregnant?"

Zheng Dan had expected his reaction a long time ago, and continued to speak fiercely: "But the new generals in the army are still young, and my concubine is afraid that they will not be able to suppress them. When the time comes, they will be in chaos, and even a hundred thousand troops will collapse without fighting. ,unless……"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the king personally leads the troops, I can rest assured... But if the king personally leads the troops, I can rest assured of the army, but I can't worry about the king." Zheng Dan said quietly.

Fucha laughed loudly: "No family, you think highly of me, no matter, no matter, I will personally lead the troops to the state of Jin, and when the territory is conquered, our child must be born, so I will give him a big gift!"

Zheng Dan smiled meaningfully, even she didn't understand what she was laughing at, she seemed, faintly, not very hopeful that Fu Chai would die like this.

Half a month later, [-] soldiers and horses from the State of Yue arrived as scheduled, and the old, weak, sick and disabled from the State of Wu also moved to the State of Yue.Xi Shi sent A Zhi to secretly steal a list of sergeants, and found that there were a total of [-] regular troops and [-] militiamen in Wu State. Judging from this posture, there are at most [-] sergeants left in Wu State, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. , There are very few elites, and some counties in the center of the country, which are not disturbed by the border, even a general has been transferred away, and there are only more than two thousand soldiers.

If Yue State took advantage of Wu State's deep entanglement in Jin State and came to attack Wu, it would be the best time, and it would definitely be like a broken bamboo all the way, and maybe it would be able to take Gusu City in one fell swoop.Although she still felt that something else was going to happen faintly, but human life was too high, if the Yue Kingdom really came to fight, then there was no way to escape, if not now, when will it be?

So on the second day after Fucha left, she and Azhi set off to visit Zheng Dan. Zheng Dan opened the door, pursed his lips, and let the two into the room, sitting at the table sullenly.

"Fu Chai is gone, what are you worried about?" A Zhi asked.

Zheng Dan didn't answer, just sighed: "You guys are here to say goodbye to me, I know."

Xi Shi said: "Don't worry, we have to go out to hide first, you are pregnant, at least it is a clue, Fan Li and the others will definitely not touch you. I think the Vietnamese army will tear up the contract and attack Wu in a big way. You Hide yourself, don't get hurt."

"You think so too?" Zheng Dan frowned.

"What are you afraid of?"

"The state of Wu will definitely have no harvest this year. Although there is still enough grain in the grain depot for one year, it must not be enough to deal with the robbery of the state of Yue. I am afraid that the people of the state of Wu..."

Xi Shi groaned: "You can't protect yourself now, don't care what you do, although Fan Li and the others may not move you, but you should try to be smart, don't stand out, it's best not to be caught by them—"

"How is it possible? If they really entered Gusu City, we must be the first ones they want to find. Where can I hide? If you want to go, go quickly."

The same is true when Xi Shi thinks about it, unless the Vietnamese army can be kept out of Gusu City, if the tens of thousands of troops search, the rats in the whole city may not be able to escape.She wanted to leave, but she really couldn't think of a good place to go.

Back at Guanwa Palace, she walked around for a long time, but she had no idea, so she had to ask Azhi:

"You have lived in the mountains for a long time, is there any place to go that people can't find?"

Ah Zhi thought for a while: "If they really want to find someone, unless you hide in the water...Anyway, if I want to find someone, I will find them anyway."

"Those in deep mountains and old forests can do anything!"

Azhi scratched his head: "Well...there are, but I have to go and see first. I went there ten years ago, but I don't know that it is still too peaceful there now."

Xi Shi's eyes lit up: "then you go, you go, I'll wait for you. How far is it?"

"Hurry up and go back in a day."

Xishi saw that it was not too early, and said:

"It's late today, let's go tomorrow morning, it's not safe to walk at night."

Ah Zhi smiled: "It's safest when I walk at night, and it's not safe during the day! Don't worry, I'll be back no matter what before noon tomorrow."

Xi Shi had no choice but to nod, had dinner with her, and then tiptoedly sent A Zhi away.Unexpectedly, not an hour after Ah Zhi left, Guanwa Palace suddenly welcomed a person.

"Liu...Master Liu? Why are you here?"

Mr. Liu walked in with square steps, and walked in politely: "Greetings to Empress Xigong, King Wu has ordered, let me take good care of you during the period when he leads troops to go out."

Xi Shi frowned, if that was the case, Zheng Dan should have told her a long time ago, this Master Liu, was Fu Chai sent to monitor her?Did he know she was going to escape?She politely invited Mr. Liu and his entourage in, and said:

"There are more than [-] people in Guanwa Palace, and more than [-] people take care of me. Why is Your Majesty afraid of not being enough?"

Mr. Liu brought two jars of wine with him, and when he opened one jar, the aroma of wine filled the room.

"Empress Xigong, do you have a drink?" Master Liu was not in a hurry to answer Xi Shi's words, but invited her to drink without thinking.

Xishi didn't know and went in, and couldn't refuse directly, so she had to call two young maids, and asked the cook to cook some side dishes.

"Your Majesty is indeed very cautious. To be honest, I do have important matters to discuss with your Majesty, so let's do it first as a respect." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass alone.

Xi Shi saw that there was nothing wrong with him drinking, and she didn't want to neglect him, so she had to take a sip.

"Sir Liu, let's talk about something important. It's getting late, and Yiguang is about to go to bed."

Master Liu calmly said, "Hehe, don't be in a hurry, it's only nightfall, so we need to talk about it slowly—hey, it's not a big deal, I just ask you to do me a favor."

He talked all over the place, Xi Shi listened to Mr. Liu talking nonsense for a long time, but didn't understand what he wanted to say, but bored, he ate a lot of food and wine, and felt his stomach swelled.She is a little impatient:

"Master Liu, Yiguang is really tired today. Although Yiguang is curious about the scenery and customs of the north and south, he doesn't have much chance to see them. You should talk about business."

Mr. Liu chuckled, then suddenly looked terrified, and stood up:

"Since that's the case, I won't say much. Let me ask you, are you the spy of the Yue State? Did the Yue State send you and Zheng Dan to confuse the King?"

Xishi was terrified in her heart, wondering how this Master Liu knew, she didn't speak, she stared at Master Liu for a long time, and then remembered that before Wu Zixu was alive, she seemed to be inseparable from this Master Liu all day long.

It's bad, I'm afraid that Mr. Liu is Wu Zixu's confidant, and he has calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Wu Zixu would still have power after his death!

Seeing Mr. Liu pointing it out, Xi Shi knew that the visitor was not kind, and she didn't want to entangle with him, saying:

"What Master Liu wants to say, just say it."

Master Liu snorted: "I didn't want to care about this, but what you are doing, you should never have killed Wu Zixu!"

"Master Wu offended the king and asked him to die, what has nothing to do with me!" Xi Shi's face turned red suddenly, as if a fire was burning in her lower abdomen, she was very surprised, no matter how frightened she was, her body would not show such abnormality The feeling is right!

Master Liu looked at her: "You don't have to say anything, I have already found out all the facts, but the king is obsessed with ghosts and doesn't let us loyal ministers speak at all, so I have to attack you secretly, don't blame me."

Xishi gritted her teeth: "I didn't confuse the king at all. If the king has been ignoring political affairs for months and indulging in beauty, that's because he is willing to do it. What have you to do with me and other women! As a princess, I want to make the king happy, and it's up to me to please him." Your duty! You guys are cowardly and incompetent, but you want to blame women, you don’t have the ability to win the trust of the king, but you want to make trouble for women, what is your intention!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Master Liu patted the table angrily, and the four guards moved in response, which seemed to be a premeditated signal.When the four guards came up, they pressed Xi Shi on a copper stool fixed on the ground, locked her hands behind her back with a chain with a lock, and locked her legs slightly on the two stool feet.

"Come on, come on! There are assassins!" Xi Shi shouted, but there was no one.

"Don't waste your energy, the maids in this courtyard have already been driven out secretly by me."

Xishi glared at Master Liu viciously: "What are you going to do, I don't believe you have the guts to really kill me!"

Master Liu said: "Of course I don't have the guts, but I will let the king kill you himself. Just imagine, as a princess, if you have an affair with other men, will the king kill you?"

Only then did Xi Shi realize what was going on inside her body, and said in shock:

"What kind of medicine did you put in your drink? It's useless for you to be an important minister, but you use such dirty tricks!"

"Important minister?" Lord Liu said angrily, "If it weren't for you two, I might be an important minister, but now I am just an abandoned pawn, and the country of Wu is becoming more and more empty. Only by killing you can the king wake up, Wu Only then can the country have a future.”

Xi Shi resisted the growing discomfort in her body, and said coldly:

"What king of Wu, you just want to take credit for me, don't you? You want to restore your status, don't you? Frame me, kill me again, aren't you afraid that I will tell the king!"

Lord Liu smiled and said, "You won't tell the king, but you are not the only one who died, are you right?"

Xishi struggled desperately, she knew that Master Liu wanted to touch Zheng Dan, but he didn't dare to make fun of the child in her belly.If she fights to the death and the net breaks at that time, Zheng Dan will definitely be implicated, and this dumb person has to suffer—this Mr. Liu, she is really sure that she dare not speak, so she has to pretend to be deaf and dumb to die!

A woman from Yue State, married into Wu State as a concubine, unwilling to be lonely in the palace, had an affair with a man outside the palace, and was bestowed to death by the King of Wu.People's words are terrible, and she has been infamous through the ages. She belongs to Xi Shi, and she is also from the country of Yue. How cruel!

She really wanted to hit her head to death, but he didn't even think of this, and the one who bound her couldn't move. She thought about it, moved her mouth, and bit her own tongue.

Ah Zhi, you have to forgive me, but I don’t want the Yue Kingdom to bear the eternal infamy, so that the women of the Yue Kingdom can’t hold their heads up forever, let alone implicate Zheng Dan...

She closed her eyes, and just about to use force, a big hand stretched out, opened her mouth abruptly, and stuffed a ball of sackcloth into her mouth.Xi Shi's face was full of panic, and she struggled more intensely, her body was also extremely hot, and her whole body was itchy to death.

Master Liu sighed: "Hey, when I'm gone, I'll bring all the maids here and let them hear with their own ears what kind of voice you Shi Yiguang will make. The one among you is Qihuayulusan, which has two effects. For an hour, Empress Xigong, please do it for yourself, don't wrong yourself too much."

So vicious, so despicable!Xi Shi's nose was sore, she just felt like crying, but no tears came out of her eyes, probably because the moisture in her body was burned away by the heat.
