Spring and Autumn GL

47. Revenge Begins

Xi Shi woke up again and was already lying firmly on the bed. When she opened her eyes, she felt backache and weakness.Ah Zhi sat by the bed, half of his body lay on Xi Shi's body, holding a key in his hand, and fell asleep quietly.

"Cough..." Xi Shi felt a little thirsty, couldn't help coughing up her throat.

Ah Zhi rubbed his eyes and woke up, seeing that Xi Shi had woken up, he showed a gratified smile:

"Are you awake? Are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."

Xi Shi patted her lightly and asked:

"Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say it would take a day?"

Ah Zhi said: "I rode for twenty miles, and suddenly felt restless. I saw a military camp not far away, and thought that the road was blocked, so I simply turned back and waited until tomorrow."

"Well, if you hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid..."

Ah Zhi poured the water, helped Xi Shi to feed it.

"What's going on? Why did someone suddenly come to your house to make trouble? Also, have you been poisoned by something?"

Xi Shi blushed: "Wu Zixu's former subordinates seem to have discovered something and insisted on killing me. I accidentally... took some... drugs."

Ah Zhi thought for a while: "Now I have killed them all, I am afraid that something will come to the door later, in my opinion, let's stay for a while."

Xi Shi nodded: "Exactly, and if they dare to deal with me, they may be framed even if they are homeless. I am very worried about her."

The two dug the corpse in the garden and buried it. Azhi wiped off his sweat and said:

"By the way, the young man who was killed last called me Master Mistress, what's going on?"

"He, he called your teacher's wife?" Xi Shi had long forgotten what happened at that time. Hearing what Azhi said, she immediately remembered what Taohua had said about Azhi's life experience.

"I don't think he looks crazy. I'm so young, so I don't look like a teacher's wife. Could it be that he is your apprentice?"

Xi Shi chuckled, and said perfunctorily: "There is no such thing, there are not a few people who look similar in this world, maybe he just misunderstood."

A few days later, someone really came to the door, saying that it was Master Liu's family member, and insisted on entering the house to search.Xi Shi said no, so they had to let them turn Guanwa Palace upside down.However, this group of people were just servants after all, they had no search experience, and they didn't find any abnormalities in the soil in the garden.

"I've said it all, Mr. Liu did come, but he left after eating some light meals. Don't you bother me like this. Could it be that you think I'm a princess who wants to hide men in the palace?"

"You little ones don't dare..." After all, the servants didn't dare to provoke the empress, and they heard that there was a sense of blame in Xi Shi's words, so they all gave up and left Guanwa Palace.

Zheng Dan's belly grew bigger day by day. King Wu was not in the palace, so he assigned some important things to her and Bo Pi, but even these few things made her so busy that she exhausted her mind.Only then did she understand why people said that it is difficult to be an emperor. Many scriptures clearly said the same thing, but because of different positions, they had completely different hopes.For this kind of thing, she can only ignore it, because no matter which party is satisfied, the other party will not let it go.

In the middle of summer, Zheng Dan suddenly felt cramps in his abdomen, and hurriedly called the imperial physician. The imperial physician diagnosed that he was about to give birth, and hurriedly called six stable women to help Zheng Dan deliver the baby, and then called Xi Shi and A Zhi.

With a cry, Zheng Dan's expression relaxed, and she gasped for breath. She looked at Wen Po timidly, and asked:

"Is it... a boy or a girl?"

"Congratulations, you are a little prince."

Zheng Dan's complexion froze suddenly, he hummed a wry smile, his nose was sour, and he almost shed tears.

"Is your empress unhappy? This is the king's eldest son, and he must be the best choice for the crown prince!"

Zheng Dan pretended to smile, thinking what about the prince, it is not inevitable that he will die.This child was destined to be difficult to grow up from birth. She didn't care what would happen to Prince Wu, but this is her child, and she really didn't want to...

The baby was very strong and cried very loudly. The imperial doctor was afraid of disturbing Zheng Dan, so he ordered someone to take him away temporarily.Zheng Dan only saw the baby briefly.

Seeing everyone leaving, Xi Shi sighed and said:

"How are you going? Are you really watching your child being killed by Yue Guo?"

Zheng Dan shook his head: "I won't let them do whatever they want. When Ah You grows up, you can take him away!"

Xi Shi said: "Now, do you still think that Fan Li did the right thing?"

"He... Dr. Fan may have been cruel to me... But there is nothing wrong with it. One day he will understand."

Azhi curled his lips: "No family, I met you for the first time on the battlefield. You are so heroic, you have extraordinary skills, and you are usually resourceful and bear the burden of humiliation. Why did you become so petty when you came to Fan Li? so tolerant?"

Zheng Dan heard Ah Zhi utter a series of polite words, and thought that Xi Shi must be the one who was wronged by her in front of Ah Zhi. After saying such things, he looked at Xi Shi, Xi Shi lowered his gaze, and murmured:

"Homeless, don't lie to yourself anymore."

Zheng Dan looked at Xi Shi expressionlessly, and suddenly burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all the worry, anger, uneasiness, and panic these days.

Xi Shi understands, Zheng Dan understood everything, but she just lied to herself, and finally despaired when Tu Qiongdagger appeared today.A woman has to go to such a wild place before giving up?Like a fish that has given up on water.

"Have you figured it out?" Xi Shi asked softly.

Zheng Dan closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said sobbingly:

"It's my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't deceive myself and others, and make myself suffer. When I recover, I will take my friend and go with you. End of the world, fleeing or living in seclusion, It’s better than swinging around like this.”

Xi Shi was a little angry: "It's not that you are bad, you are very good, it's the fault of Fan Li and Gou Jian!"

Zheng Dan shook his head: "No, it's my fault."

Who is good and who is bad, she can actually measure clearly in her heart, but who made her fall in love with it?To love someone is to be so tolerant.Don't believe that he changed his mind, but pity him for being negligent.He is not good, yes, but is she willing to admit that he is not good?Even if she gave up, she was not willing.

Suddenly a brochure was handed in, Xi Shi took it over and looked at it, and said fiercely:

"A note from the Department of Grain and Grass. This year, there is no grain harvest in the country of Wu. They asked if they could open a warehouse to release grain. Bo Pi, what does this mean? Why did I give you this book? It is up to Fu Chai to decide whether the treasury can open a warehouse. I am afraid that people will blame me, so I let you make a decision? Now that the front line is fighting, the state treasury only has so little food, and the Yue State has borrowed so much. Now it is either to protect the people or protect the soldiers. To protect the people, the food and grass for the soldiers of the Jin State will be If you can’t provide financial support and protect the soldiers, the country of Wu will be devastated and the people will be hurt! Isn’t this a problem for you! I’ll go to Bo Chu for an argument!”

Zheng Dan waved his hand: "Forget it, since he handed over this booklet, it would be a waste of time for you to go. He just doesn't want to implicate himself in this matter, and he is afraid that the husband will come back and punish him. Go help me and call the treasury officials. I make up my own mind, alas..."

Xi Shi nodded to Ah Zhi, and not long after, the officials from the treasury came and greeted Zheng Dan with fists folded.

"Master Li, how much grain is left in the grain depot?"

"There are still about [-] stones."

"Put [-] shi of grain and grass down to stabilize the famine first, leave [-] shi for the frontline soldiers, and wait until the king returns."

"Opening warehouses to release grain requires an order from the king."

Zheng Dan struggled to sit up a little bit: "You just release the food first, the king is in the state of Jin, and he will go back and forth for a month, how many people will starve to death in a month! If anything happens, just say I forced you! I can't blame you superior!"

The food officer had no choice but to agree, shook his head and retreated.

Three days later, the grain and grass were released as scheduled, and the people of Wu State rejoiced.

Zheng Dan was in confinement, and Prince You also returned to her side. The more Zheng Dan saw the child, the more he liked it, but every time he thought of the bad luck he was about to encounter, he secretly felt sad again.On this day, two notebooks came suddenly, one good and the other bad.

The good thing is that Fu Chai has won a big victory in the state of Jin and has already reached the capital, and he will start returning in less than a month. The bad thing is that the state of Yue has declared war on the state of Wu!

In order to attack the state of Jin, Fu Chai brought many elite troops, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the state of Wu.The State of Yue unexpectedly assembled [-] well-trained soldiers and horses, and conquered six cities in half a month, and was about to be forced to the city of Gusu.

The dragons in the state of Wu have no leader, and the officials are in a mess. They want to send troops to fight, but there are no soldiers to call for, and Bo Pi claims to be sick at home. , There was an endless stream of visitors, which made her have a splitting headache.

"Niang Niang, you have been a great general, please go to the battle to defend the country!"

"Wujia is confinement, but you let her lead the army? You also have wives, so how can you say that?" Xi Shi said angrily.

She drove all the ministers out and looked back at Zheng Dan:

"The Yue Kingdom is calling, but you can't leave, what should you do?"

Zheng Dan gently hugged the child, kissed his forehead, and the little baby let out a hearty smile.

She handed the baby into Ah Zhi's arms: "Go quickly and take Ah You with you. As for me, I have to resign myself to fate...Why, why did it come so fast?"

But Azhi frowned: "I can't leave you alone, I will be unhappy, and Yiguang will be uneasy. If Yiguang is uneasy, I will be even more uneasy. Why don't we hide it?"

Zheng Dan smiled wryly and shook his head: "At this time, only Ah Zhi can make me laugh. If I hide it, where can I hide it? I can't leave Gusu City with my body. As long as I'm still here Gusu City, when the tens of thousands of troops from the Yue Kingdom enter the city, they will find me. Why don't you waste your energy in vain and live in peace for a few days."

"Then, as long as the Vietnamese army can't enter Gusu City, you'll be fine?"

Xi Shi was shocked: "Azhi, what are you going to do? Go out and fight with them? That's 5 people, not five!"

Azhi smiled: "You taught that to capture the thief, you must first capture the king. I sneaked in and killed both Fan Li and Goujian. Wouldn't it be over?"

"No!" Zheng Dan said: "Although I don't want them to enter the city, I don't care about the great cause, but how can I kill the King of Yue!"

Xi Shi thought for a while: "Don't panic if you are homeless, I will go and persuade him."

"Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"Heh, once the Yue Kingdom declares war, the two of us will be abandoned. Even if we don't take the initiative to say it, Fucha will know soon. There is no difference at all."

Zheng Dan lifted the quilt and stood up vigorously: "I will go with you."

Xi Shi shook her head: "You can sit in confinement with peace of mind, and Azhi and I can go. You don't care about success or failure. Whether we ask to surrender or kill people, it has nothing to do with you."
