Three days later, at the Imperial Mausoleum of Zijin Mountain, all the princes and ministers of Great Wu held a grand state funeral for the first emperor to celebrate his death.

Amidst the mourning and joy, everyone wept bitterly. Only Gou Jian, the left chariot general, quietly left the funeral procession and came before more than a thousand dead men. He took the saber that Yu Yi handed over.

At this moment, Gou Jian was extremely excited.

He was looking forward to this day, thinking about it day and night, and looking forward to it for more than forty years. Seeing that the great revenge will be avenged, and the Yue Kingdom is expected to be restored, how can Goujian not be excited?
"Get into trouble!"

Goujian swung his sword and shouted like a tiger roaring and a dragon chanting.

More than a thousand dead men followed behind Goujian, and rushed towards the imperial mausoleum in Zijin Mountain.

However, when they passed a mountain road, something happened suddenly.

Suddenly, a large group of Wu army soldiers in strong and sharp clothes appeared on both sides, with their bows and arrows, aiming at Goujian and his dead soldiers.

This sudden change frightened them all, and they were a little at a loss.

On the top of the hill, suddenly appeared an old man with a helmet on his head, old-fashioned, but still heroic.

"Sun Wu?"

Gou Jian couldn't help but stare, with an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.

Sun Wu lived in seclusion for many years, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but he didn't expect to appear here!
Sun Wu smiled slightly and said, "Goujian, I am here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"you……"

Just as Gou Jian was about to speak, another stalwart figure appeared beside Sun Wu.

Isn't it Qingji who should have died?

Qingji is not dead yet?
Goujian's brain froze in an instant, and he was stunned when he felt a thunderbolt.

But Qingji didn't talk nonsense to Goujian, he waved his hand and said, "Kill!"

"Not a single one!"

"Fire arrows!"

After receiving Qingji's order, the crossbowmen, who had already drawn their bows and set their arrows, fired random arrows at once, and the chaotic arrows shot over, shooting all the dead soldiers around Goujian into hedgehogs, and fell on the ground. In a pool of blood, he died of exhaustion.

The dead soldiers wanted to escape, but at the entrance and exit of this mountain road, thousands of sharp warriors of the Wu army also appeared.

There is a shield array in front of the warriors, and the giant shields are like a thick city wall, squeezing the living space of the dead warriors step by step.

"Pfft!"

"Shh!"

"what!"

The weapons in the hands of the dead soldiers are almost all bronze swords or iron swords. There are few long weapons, not even shields or armor, so they have become living targets for Wu Jun's crossbowmen.

Behind Wu Jun's giant shield, the soldiers were all holding spears, and they kept poking out, one by one, and I don't know how many blood holes were poked out of the dead soldiers.

Wails, cries, cursing, shouts of killing, etc., all kinds of sounds mixed together, forming a scene of purgatory on earth.

As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. The four or five meter long spears in the hands of Wu Jun's elite soldiers are in sharp contrast to the less than one meter long sword blades in the hands of the dead soldiers.

Under the continuous squeeze of Wu Jun's shield array, the dead soldiers were killed one after another, and their corpses were left on the spot.

Yanying and Luming died in battle one after another.

Gou Jian saw that the general situation was over, so he gave up resisting, looked at his son Yu Yi beside him and said, "Yu Yi, cut yourself off!"

"What? Father...the child doesn't want to die."

Yu Yi said tremblingly.

"Stupid! If you don't slay yourself, if you are jealous of him... you will definitely be executed by car torn apart. It's an insult to me, as my son of Da Viet, you must have a backbone!"

However, Yu Yi held the sword tremblingly, but he couldn't make up his mind to kill himself no matter what.

"Pfft!"

Gou Jian simply waved his sword, sealed his throat with one sword, and ended Yu Yi's life.

Then, after taking a deep look at Qingji in the distance, Gou Jian put the bronze sword on his neck, looked up to the sky and screamed: "Yuyou heaven, why are you so weaker than me!"

"puff!"

Gou Jian wiped his neck, blood splashed five steps in an instant, staggered back two steps, and fell into a pool of blood.

Just as Goujian expected, Qingji would not let him go.

If he doesn't kill himself, the end will only be worse.

"Surrender! I surrender!"

"Do not kill me!"

After Gou Jian's death, the dead soldiers under his command lost the courage to resist and threw away their weapons and surrendered one after another.

What awaits them is the punishment of beheading...

The crime of treason is unforgivable in Dawu.

……

The next day, Qingji, who was wearing a black red-striped crown dress and wearing a Longyuan sword, sat down slowly on the majesty platform of Fengtian Hall, and held a grand court meeting as usual.

Seeing Qingji who "resurrected from the dead", the hearts of all the officials and officials were filled with embarrassment.

With Qing Ji here, everything is fine, and they have a backbone.

"Wu Liang, Gou Jian committed an unforgivable crime of rebellion. According to Wu law, what crime should be punished?"

Qingji set his sights on Wu Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Wu Liang, the second son of Wu Zixu, was born as a military general, but like many princes and ministers, Wu Liang has both civil and military skills. He can mount a horse to fight or dismount to govern.

It can be said that it is about to enter the phase.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to Wu law, the crime of treason is a heinous crime, and the nine clans should be punished!"

Wu Liang paused for a moment, and then said: "However, considering that Gou Jian is a relative of the emperor, he is the Marquis of Yue, and the General of Zuo Cheqi, His Majesty can also punish his nine clans lightly!"

In Dawu, the nine clans include the fourth clan of the father, the third clan of the mother, and the second clan of the wife.

Father's family four refers to one's own family, married aunts and their sons, married sisters and nephews, married daughters and grandchildren.

Maternal family three refers to the grandfather's family, grandmother's natal family, aunt and her son.

Wife family two refers to the family of the father-in-law and the family of the mother-in-law.

If Qingji really wanted to punish Goujian and the Nine Clans, according to this way of sitting together, Empress Ji Kou, Prince Heng, Wu Zhang and others would all die...

It's very involved!

"The decree is that Goujian's treason is an unforgivable crime. All three of his tribes will be exiled to Iberia in the Mediterranean. The family members of those who participated in the rebellion will be exiled, and no one will be spared!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The officials shouted.

Qingji sat on the Majesty's platform, looked around for a week, and said: "During the time when I was not in the court, the court and the public, the four seas, it was very lively."

"After the death of the ancestor dragon, the land will be divided. This prophecy has spread like wildfire in the early years. After I die, the great Wu will be torn apart, and the empire will be disintegrated?"

"No, I will never let this happen."

"Except for the Goujian Rebellion in the court, I have received reliable information that Qi, Yan, Song, Lu, Qin and other old places all have remnants planning to make a comeback and restore their homeland."

"Prince."

"My son is here!"

"Immediately draw up an imperial decree for me. All counties and counties need to defend themselves against the rebellion. Suppress the rebellion as soon as possible. Anyone who leads the rebellion will be torn apart and the three clans will be punished. The remaining nine clans will all be exiled outside the territory."

After a pause, Qingji said again: "Anyone who participates in the rebellion will be sent to exile with his family!"

"promise!"
