Chapter 5 Chapter Five

Sun Wu finally waited until the day when King Helu of Wu condescended to visit him.Unexpectedly, this day came too early. Of course Sun Tzu was looking forward to this day.Although he looks elegant, peaceful, and calm on the outside, his heart is full of unstoppable anxiety, passion, and longing like a tsunami.Of course, he is eager to try the military tactics written on the bamboo slips on the battlefield, and he is eager to hang the seal and worship to establish immortal achievements.The irritability surging in his heart, even if he wanted to vent it, there was no reason to vent it.Although his wife, Bo Nu, is smart and smart in heart, she is introverted and reticent. She looks almost dull, and she is impeccable in serving him.Sun Wu often writes military books, studies ancient and modern tactics, and draws battle maps in the dead of night. At this time, his heart spreads out plains and mountains, and thousands of troops roar and fight.Silk girl always comes and goes quietly.Or come to trim the candles, or come to send a piece of clothing to resist the night cold, or send something to satisfy the hunger.Silk Girl always waited until Sun Wu fell asleep before she would sleep peacefully.

Once, Sun Wu suddenly asked: "Ma'am, you are staying alone in the room and dozing off, why don't you persuade me to rest earlier?" The silk girl said: "How can a wife go against the will of her husband? Your business Isn't it very important?" Sun Wu asked again: "You followed me all the way to Wu, don't you feel nostalgia for your hometown?" The silk girl said: "It is destined for a woman to travel north and south with her husband. Why? Can you count as your hometown? Peace of mind is your hometown. I serve you every day, so why worry about it?" Sun Wu said: "That is to say, Sun Wu made you suffer!"

After hearing this, Silk Girl was a little moved: "With Changqing's words, I have no complaints at all. Tell me what's on your mind, your thoughts are mine, and I naturally hope that my husband will show off his talents. Let the world know you and your art of war. For this, I have traveled thousands of miles to Wu, and my concubine has no complaints or regrets. What is annoying and hateful is that the king of Wu has no eyes. Silk girl is also very anxious, but she is anxious. What's the benefit? When the luck is not good, the fate is difficult to form, so we can only let nature take its course. Don't worry, Changqing. Youlan is in the valley, and there will be people who know you and come looking for the fragrance. Well, I'm talking nonsense today. Won't trouble you, will it?"

Sun Wu said: "What kind of talk is this? If no one talks about it, people will be suffocated to death." After finishing speaking, the silk girl was speechless and quietly withdrew.Sun Wu still had difficulty dispelling the irritability and depression in his heart. He was so bored and bored that he could only go to the vegetable garden to fetch buckets of water to grind his body; Feeling dizzy and sweating all over, I feel more comfortable. This day came suddenly. The servant Tian Di has been acting as eyes and ears these days. This afternoon, someone sent by Wu Zixu told him that the great king Helu led his prince Fucha, Mei, Concubine San and Wu Zixu to shoot and hunt in Luofu Mountain. Be sure to wait at home.Unexpectedly, Sun Wu didn't come home since he went out in the morning, so Tian Di immediately went out to look for his master.

In the pine forest, Sun Wu was playing piano with Gongsun Nizi again. Tian Di came to Sun Wu's side, Gongsun was playing the piano, Tian Di wanted to speak, but Sun Wu stopped him. The grand piano sound stopped abruptly. Gongsun Nizi said: "Okay, Changqing can go." "I haven't had enough fun yet." Gongsun Nizi said: "Changqing, you are proficient in Lulu. Among the five sounds, the palace is the king, the merchant is the minister, the horn is the people, the levy is the thing, and the feather is the thing. You listen to the harmony between the palace, the merchant, the monarch and the ministers, only the sound of the levy. , the uproar, as if something big is about to happen. In fact, you can't sit still for a long time!"

"Then, the Minister will take his leave." Leaving the rustling pine forest, Sun Wu was stunned when Tian Di said that King Helu would pay a visit in the future.He knew that the story of "Yaoli was murdered by the king of Wu and chopped off" has not yet been concluded. Attack Wu, but whether Li can take Qingji's life is still unknown.Why did Wu Wang Helu suddenly believe that he has the talent to help the country and condescend to invite him in person?The honor of the king of Helu, it is difficult to move to visit the humble house with thatched eaves.So, maybe it was Wu Zixu's slick tongue that made the king impatient, so he agreed to come?Perhaps, the original intention of the Great King Helu was to go to Luofu Mountain to shoot and hunt, and to take a look at the reality by the way?

In fact, at this time, the Great King Helu didn't even think about coming to pay a visit to Sun Wu. It's just Wu Zixu's wishful thinking! Yesterday, He Lu thought that his hegemony was still helpless, and he was very depressed and couldn't eat.The two charming concubines Mei and Concubine San put forth their best efforts, the "monkey" melted into his body, and they tried to persuade him softly, but it was of no avail.Concubine Mei pretended to be angry and left the king.In fact, outside the door, the sixteen-year-old prince Fu Chai was wandering around like ants in a hot pot, waiting for Concubine Mei.Fu Chai is still a young boy, the beautiful and gorgeous Concubine Mei, just used a few cherries and a few winks in the garden three days ago to provoke Fu Chai's love, making his heart itchy.At that time there was no one in the garden, Concubine Mei sent the cherries to Fu Chai's mouth, but Fu Chai opened his mouth to grab Concubine Mei's fragrant fingers, Concubine Mei fled to the back of the bushes, flirting with her eyes, showing a lot of shyness .Concubine Mei's shyness was artificial, it was a kind of performance, the more artificial, the more fascinated Fu Chai was.Naturally, the young Fu Chai is just a little seasoning and supplement for Concubine Mei's lonely life in the palace, but Fu Chai has become serious.In the past three days, he wandered around the garden and the palace, anxiously chasing after the wind, and even forgot to avoid taboos when his father was with the two concubines.Concubine Mei was worried that the king Helu would see something, so she hurriedly slipped out.Seeing that Concubine Mei finally came out, Fu Chai walked ahead, turning his head to signal from time to time, leading Concubine Mei to his own house, and was about to pounce on the hungry tiger immediately.Concubine Mei pretended to be serious: "Prince, don't be indecent!" Fu Chai panted, "I don't care what indecent or rude things are, this prince!" How can you be ignorant of ethics? I am your father's concubine, so logically speaking, I am your mother!" Fu Chai fell to his knees with a groan: "It is my mother, but I hope mother has pity on her son!" Concubine Mei was also moved when she saw this scene. Confused, he let out a long sigh, and half pushed, half as if drunk, and fell into Fu Chai's arms.Fu Chai hugged the ball of soft incense, dizzy for a moment, his hands were about to scratch and crawl wildly, but Concubine Mei woke up, and pushed Fu Chai away:

"Fucha, don't you want to be the prince?" "No!……" Just as the word "no" was out of the mouth, there were footsteps outside, and Concubine San came over. The door, even forgot to close it. Concubine San watched the expressions of the two of them carefully. Concubine Mei was sweating profusely. Fu Chai was angry and annoyed, and walked out of the door helplessly. Concubine San said: "Your Majesty asked you a question. Your Majesty was upset and asked us to serve you." Concubine Mei said: "Ah, I'm here to see the prince's jade pendant. Let's go."

The two followed each other back to King Wu and sat down quietly.King Helu of Wu couldn't get rid of the depression in his heart, so he had to turn to the gods for help.He asked Wu Zixu and Bo Pi to come up, and ordered Bo Pi to take the most spiritual tortoise, and perform a fortune-telling to see if the heavens will send a strange person to Wu in the near future, and where is the strange man who has not yet appeared. Bo Pi is good at divination, so he hurriedly "obeyed the order", and immediately fetched the tortoise and tortoise shell that he had picked up on Gengri's net and killed on Xinri.The size of the tortoise shell is just in line with the rules, one foot and two inches.And on the first day of every month, Bo Pi would bathe the tortoise shell in fear and fear to get rid of bad luck.Then, rub the egg repeatedly on the tortoise shell and pray.King Helu had no doubts about the divine tortoise's efficacy, not to mention the solemn and solemn face of Nabo Pi's handsome face.Bo Pi faced the north, lit the twig, and chiselled three times in the middle and front of the tortoise shell, and then chiseled around the tortoise shell. Master’s divine power, I will use thorns to burn your heart, Master Yuling, and you will tell me the spiritual plan. I beg you to give me a good Zhaowen on behalf of the wise and virtuous King of Wu. Please tell me Can the Kingdom of Wu get a genius from the sky?..." After burning the tortoise, the tortoise raised its head, and Bo Pi said happily, "The king is virtuous and clear, and the heavens bless you. The tortoise gave a good omen. There are sages and celebrities who have come to join you, haven’t they all joined your ranks now?”

Bo Pi refers to Wu Zixu, and of course he also includes himself. The pimple between He Lu's brows somewhat relaxed. Bo Pi said, "Please be at ease, Your Majesty." Wu Zixu took the opportunity to interject and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go out for a walk? I went to Luofu Mountain a few days ago and saw the steep mountains, verdant trees, clouds and mist, and clear springs. There are elks in the mountains. Why don't Your Majesty go to Luofu Mountain to shoot?" Come to relieve depression, and secondly, let everyone appreciate the king's arrow skills."

Bo Pi: "If Your Majesty doesn't want to go hunting in Luofu Mountain, maybe it's more interesting to visit Taihu Lake." Wu Zixu glanced at Bo Pi. Concubine San said: "Your Majesty, it is better to go to Luofu Mountain to shoot and hunt." Concubine Mei said: "Your Majesty please allow your concubines to serve you." Wu Zixu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty usually eats every day, doesn't sit on heavy seats, doesn't do luxury, advocates frugality, and it's too hard for Your Majesty. It's rare for Your Majesty to go out for a walk. Shooting and hunting in Luofu Mountain can not only show your majesty, but also let you go. The world knows that Wu Guo is in peace. If two concubines go with them, the world will pay more attention, not just for hunting, but also for diplomacy." Encouraged by Wu Zixu's words, the two concubines became more energetic and called "King" repeatedly. The pleading eyes were sharp weapons, and their hard-hearted hearts would bleed. "Nonsense, widowed hunting, there is no reason for you to follow!" He Lu was unmoved. Concubine Mei burst into tears.Then He Lu panicked, came to ask, to persuade, to coax.The king asked again and again why he was crying, and Concubine Mei narrated it in a whimpering manner, which was beyond coquettish.Only then did He Lu know that Concubine Mei was originally born at the foot of Luofu Mountain. She was elected to the capital and never saw her father and brothers again. She was moved to miss her hometown.King Helu could only sigh, and agreed to the two charming concubines, promising them to join in the fun. The majestic king of the Wu Kingdom always suffers defeat in front of the two concubines. At five o'clock the next day, the great king Helu, the prince Fucha, Wu Zixu and the second concubine Meipan, with 200 followers, drove out of Gusu City and headed straight for Luofu Mountain.When we arrived at Luofu Mountain, the morning fog cleared away, a round of red sun gushed out, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.The dew in the forest is still wet, and the grass has lost the hooves of the horses. He Lu's heart is very clear.He ordered the second concubine to wait quietly at the foot of the mountain, called the parents of Concubine Mei to see her, and rewarded her with gold and silk.Helu, Wu Zixu and Fucha rode horses in the forest and shot and killed the mountain rabbit and the pheasant.Helu harvested a lot, and every time he shot an arrow, all the followers would praise him. Those who hit the arrow hit it, and those who missed it chased after it until someone hit it. Hurry up and bring it. The way is good for the king Arrow method, every shot hits the target.What made King Helu especially happy was that the prince Fucha was very brave. He chased a muntjac, rode his horse and galloped, and jumped over a hundred-foot mountain abyss. Fly around.Wu Zixu didn't make any achievements, he just surrounded the king.Being able to pull King Helu to Luofu Mountain to shoot and hunt, his plan has completed the first step, and he is not far from Sun Wu's hometown.Careful arrangements were made in advance to restrain the followers from shooting nearby prey, and leave it to the king to shoot the crossbow. If the shot is far away, it is only said that the king's arrows were shot in vain, and everything is just to make He Lu happy.When his plan was implemented to this point, he secretly sent someone to report to Sun Wufeng.Looking at the horses led by the guide, they ran to the eastern foot of Luofu Mountain, and they could vaguely see Sun Wu's garden from afar, so he said: "Your Majesty, I have been hunting for half a day. I really appreciate your magical arrows. Although you are very excited, you should not be too tired. Please rest your Majesty. I know a good place to go." "Where is there any good place in Luofu Mountain?" "Look, my lord, there is a farmhouse there, it is simply a place for immortals to cultivate." "Oh?" "That's the place where Sun Wu lived in seclusion that I recommended to you five times." He Lu suddenly swept away the joy on his face, and showed sullen expression: "Wu Zixu, you are so courageous, so you set up a scheme to lure the widow to come here to meet that mountain villager!" He Lu was a cunning person, easily exposed the deception, and was annoyed that he had been deceived. Wu Zixu is not a person who is good at adapting to changes, so he got off his horse with a puff and knelt down: "I deserve death for my crimes." He Lu returned to his horse and wanted to leave. Wu Zixu walked on his knees, risking being trampled to the ground by the horse's hooves, and stopped Helu's horse: "Your Majesty, my minister Wu Zixu just said it straight, I bear the revenge of my father and brother being killed by King Chu Ping, begging all the way, turning white all night, climbing mountains Fording the water, I fled to your steps in order to prosper the state of Wu and avenge my father and brother; you know Zhuan Zhu, your lord, and the warrior was ordered by you to assassinate Wang Liao, his body instantly turned into meat sauce, dripping with blood The heart is not dead, why? It is for the king to revitalize the Wu Kingdom and dominate the world. Isn't what I said wrong?" Speaking of Zhuan Zhu, He Lu couldn't help but fight a cold war. Wu Zixu went on to say: "Your Majesty, what you want is to cover the whole world. How can you not recruit the world's sages? No matter whether your minister Wu Zixu has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, he deserves death. Your Majesty, you have already arrived at Luofu Mountain, and Sun Wu's farm is at your fingertips. It's just a lot of effort, if you go to meet Mr. Sun, people all over the world will praise you for treating the wise men with courtesy, how can the people of the world come here without hearing the news? Why don't you do it, my lord?" "Get up." He Lu said. "Has Your Majesty listened to the sinner's suggestion and went to meet that strange man, Sun Changqing?" "The widow is going to rest! Lead the way ahead!" Wu Zixu was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He quickly got up and got on his horse to lead the way.He knew that the king's decision might just be for him.He knew that the king was dissatisfied with him, and he also knew that the king would never admit any wrongdoing to his face.He was happy and worried, he was happy that he finally earned King Wu to visit Sun Wu in Tian's house, but he was worried that King Wu was suddenly in a bad mood, and seeing Sun Wu in a hurry would not have good results.He finally knew that the heart dedicated to immortality is still efficacious, although mentioning this matter always meant to take credit for himself in front of the king.He didn't know, did Sun Wu ever prepare fruits and vegetables to please the king?I don't know if this mysterious and miraculous strategist will do some "laws" against the monarch of Wu Kingdom again, and make a fool of himself? Sun Wuzheng hurried home with his servant Tian Di. Walking on the winding mountain road, I suddenly saw a white horse by the side of the road, and saw a man and a woman chasing and laughing in front of me.The man is fierce and young, with high cheekbones, big eyes, sunken deep under the brow bone, and is dressed in gorgeous jade, which is exactly Fucha; Jue Chai, with a long skirt that flashes the patterns of her clothes like flowing water, and a very bright face, is Concubine Mei. Sun Wu didn't know Fuchai and Concubine Mei. He only judged that this man and woman were extraordinary people, so he wanted to avoid them.However, there is a steep mountain on the left hand, and an ax-cut cliff below the right hand. There is only this winding path under the feet, with no shelter, no hiding place, and the road is really narrow!Tian Di was enjoying himself a lot, but Sun Wu hurriedly stopped him from retreating, and retreated to the corner of the mountain road. The chasing and talking of Fucha and Meifei could be heard. "Oh, prince, you are so brave!" "No wonder I." "Who is to blame?" "Ask me again? You don't want to run away today!" "I am the king's concubine!" "Sooner or later, I will be the king!" "Back then... I was old and pale..." "How do you get old?" "No no, no, you hurt me." "Don't even think about escaping—you, where are you escaping!" "Garge..." "Haha, this prince has caught you, come here obediently, haha." "Don't do it in broad daylight, don't...you tore my skirt!" "Such silky skin, so ecstasy! Oh, even the invincible prince can't help it...How can such a beauty be monopolized by the father and king alone, I want the king to give you to me!...Oh, oh, you , why are you crying?" "Let the king see me and I'll be finished, and I'll be finished when you become the king, anyway, I have to finish... finish, finish, finish!" "You dare to hit me? Hit it, hit it. You are the only one in the world who enjoys such supreme rights! Hit me, why don't you hit me?" "No--" "Why do you want to escape again? Where are you fleeing to!" "Prince, are you crazy?" "crazy!" "Ouch!" The prince Fucha and the king's pet concubine Mei almost ran into Sun Wu's eyes.Nafucha was a young man full of arrogance, burning with desire, and desperate.He hugged Concubine Mei tightly and kissed wildly, as if he was having a delicious meal.Concubine Mei finally managed to breathe, and said: "Prince... Please, don't be here... Can I obey you? Don't be here. Please, don't say anything to let the king give me You, the king will be angry. Take your time...you want to be a prince. You are better than Zhonglei, and now Zhonglei is the prince. You become the prince, and you will be the king in the future. What is Meifei? Can you put it in your arms? Is it a piece of jade that can be thrown on the ground? No, jade is too flattering for a little woman, it’s just a bird in a cage!” Concubine Mei burst into tears, “Please, don’t stay here ..." How could Fu Chai hear it, he never stopped attacking, suddenly with a force, threw Concubine Mei to the ground, and then rushed forward again, the two of them rolled on a piece of lawn - or fought . Sun Wu was in a dilemma, facing this unsightly situation, wanted to go back and find another way, but there was no way to find it; he walked straight there, and what he saw in his eyes was a big taboo, and these romantic affairs in the palace were exactly what he was doing. Don't want to know, and shouldn't know.So, wait?Wait until Fu Chai is done?It seems that Fu Chai is difficult to act and finish. I don't know how long he will be entangled.After a long time, the summoning of King Helu will be missed. Sun Tzu had no choice but to throw a stone. The wild mandarin ducks were startled. Concubine Mei exclaimed, "Oh, there's someone!" Fu Chai was furious: "Who?" Concubine Mei and Fu Chai stood up. Only then did Sun Wu and Tian Di come over, but Fu Chai blocked the way.looked at each other. On one side are the embarrassed Sun Wu and Tian Di, on the other side are the disheveled and frightened Concubine Mei and the furious Fu Chai, who drew half of the Qingying sword in a bang. Fucha: "Village man, do you know who I am?" Sun Wu arched his hands and bowed: "Please forgive my ignorance and ignorance of Luofu Mountain vegetable farmers." Fucha: "Report your name!" Tian Di: "My master, Sun Wu, has been summoned by the king to go home." Fucha: "Sun Wu?" Sun Tzu: "Exactly." Fucha: "What did you see just now?" Sun Wu: "We hurried on our way, and when we got here, we didn't see or hear anything, ah no, didn't we just see the little general, and saw you running over, is there a tiger chasing after you?" Fucha laughed loudly: "Tiger? Haha, that's right. You are not a stupid person." The white horse found it. Fu Chai helped Concubine Mei onto the horse's back, and then he himself stepped on the horse and rode away. Sun Wu has already learned from the conversation he just heard that this is the prince and that is the princess. Sun Wu sighed. Tian Di said: "Sir, look at my head is covered with sweat. Today's luck is really bad. I've seen a ghost!"
