Chapter 363

Official position, fame, soldiers and horses, fiefs, etc., Gongzi Sheng already has everything that one expects, so are you afraid that you will not have the strength to rebel in the future?
Knowing all the inside information, Wu Zixu couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, surrendering the two cities of Liuyi and Qianyi is harmless to my country of Wu, but I'm afraid it will be more difficult to attack Chu in the future."

"Furthermore, if the people of Chu make an inch of progress and send a large army to attack our country of Wu, what should we do?"

Hearing this, before Qingji could speak, Sun Wu, the censor at the side, stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Zixu is too worried. Not to mention that the state of Chu is exhausted and it is difficult to fight a war. It is already the bottom line of our country of Wu, if the people of Chu attack it again, they may not be able to achieve an inch of success."

Wu Zixu nodded, but still hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, if Xiong Sheng has a different intention in the future, and does not follow His Majesty's private order for his own benefit, what should I do?"

Qingji didn't answer Wu Zixu directly, but asked indifferently: "Zixu, in your opinion, what kind of person is Mr. Sheng?"

"Young Master Sheng, I grew up under the watchful eye of the minister. He is a heroic man who forgets righteousness only for small gains, and does great things regardless of everything else. He is so bold!"

"The one who knows the bear winner is none other than Qing Ye."

Qing Ji laughed lightly and said, "If such a person is in a high position, wouldn't it be a hidden danger to Chu State?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu finally understood Qingji's intentions!
Wu Zixu knew his son Sheng very well.

Xiong Sheng has been bold since he was a child. Although he is not the kind of rebellious person, he is not much different.

In his early years, Wu Zixu wanted to be kind and persuasive to his young master Sheng and teach him, but he never had the time to do so.

Therefore, son Sheng also inherited the bad character of his father, Prince Jian!

How can a real man live in depression for a long time?
If he had been buried all the time and became a nobleman with no worries about food and clothing, Gongzi Sheng might have no ambitions, and even if he wanted to, he would be powerless.

However, now that he has made such a great contribution to the state of Chu, the son Sheng, who already has a dissenting heart towards the king of Chu, can he not breed ambition?
This is exactly what Qingji expected to see!
The son Sheng in history was just a doctor in Chaoyi who dared to rebel with thousands of soldiers!

How courageous is such a person?
Give him [-] soldiers and horses, maybe he will dare to attack Yingdu directly!
……

Qingji's second inspection tour was mighty and mighty. After leaving Juchao, he went all the way south, inspecting Zhongli and Qunshu, and then all the way east, passing through the vast mountains, condolences to local officials and hundreds of Baiyue tribes. .

If it weren't for the fact that Wu's official roads had basically been completed, leading in all directions, and the transportation was convenient, I am afraid that it would take a patrol team to travel through mountains and rivers, and I don't know how long it would take to complete this thousands of miles journey.

Having said that, when Qingji arrived at Gumi City, which was the original Gumi Kingdom, it was already the ninth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in February of 505 BC, a long time of nearly four months, one can imagine How vast is Wu's current territory.

Of course, there is also a reason why Qing Ji sometimes stays in one place for too long.

On the streets of Gumi City, there are a sea of ​​people at this time, bustling with people.

Wu Wang Qingji's guard of honor cleared the way in front, and the mighty and mighty team stretched endlessly, with a grand scene.

The Gumi people who lived in the poor mountains and rivers all the year round couldn't help looking forward to seeing King Wu's demeanor!

About four years ago, the country of Gumi was destroyed by the state of Wu, and the people of Gumi became conquered slaves.

However, under the governance of Wen Zhong and Kong Qiu, the original governors of Kuaiji County, the Gumi people gradually forgot their hatred of losing their country.

It's only been a few years, and it's impossible for Gumi people to really forget their homeland.

However, it is conceivable that, compared to their past lives, their lives were better under Wu's rule.

Therefore, for Wu, the locals have mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Shhhhhh!"

Suddenly a burst of arrows struck, and the guards who were caught off guard in the team were hit by arrows one after another, and fell headlong into a pool of blood with a scream.

"assassin!"

"There are assassins! Escort!"

"Protect the king!"

This sudden change really scared the people in the team.

The armored soldiers in the patrol team quickly raised their shields and surrounded the six imperial carriages where Qingji was.

Suddenly, dozens of men with swords and axes rushed out from both sides of the crowd, and rushed towards the six royal carriages without fear of death!

In broad daylight, how dare you do such a thing as assassinating the king?
The Li Shus around were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

"Protect the king!"

"on!"

As Lang Zhongling, Hei Fu hurriedly stood under the six imperial carriages and directed the nearby guards to come over to form an formation.

"Pfft!"

"Shh!"

"what!"

Those dozens of assassins were strong and powerful, and even if they were one-on-one with the guards who had been fighting in the battlefield all the year round, they would not lose the slightest bit.

At this time, Qingji had also stepped out of the six imperial carriages, looked around, and saw Wu Jun's old guards were fighting with a group of assassins, spilling blood on the street.

"Be careful, Father!"

Young Master Xi who was standing next to Qingji suddenly let out a cry, and saw that he was on top of a tall building not far away.

A man with a ponytail, big arms and a round waist, with his upper body bare, swung the chain of the big copper ball in his hand, and smashed towards the six imperial carriages!
So much strength!
That man seemed to be born with supernatural powers, he was able to swing a huge copper ball that weighed a thousand catties!
Seeing this, Qingji jumped out of the carriage with his two sons.

"Boom!"

The big copper ball that was thrown out after accumulating power was so powerful that it smashed the originally solid carriage into pieces with one blow, and sunk it deeply!
If Qingji hadn't reacted quickly enough and was still sitting in the six imperial carriages, he might have been smashed into meatloaf!

"Leave two survivors for the widow."

"promise!"

On the surface, Qing Ji still had a calm expression on his face, but his heart was already on fire!
In such a large crowd, to assassinate the king in the street?
Simply outrageous!

Therefore, Qingji wanted to know who ordered these assassins to assassinate him openly.

Not long after, the dozens of assassins were all killed, leaving only two assassins.

However, those two assassins were also stubborn, and when they were captured alive, they found an opportunity to take poison and commit suicide!
"Report-"

Just when everyone thought that the assassination of the king had been settled, a military vehicle galloped over.

The soldiers standing on the chariot hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! It's not good!"

"Suddenly a large number of people appeared in the south of the city, suspected to be Nanman, the scale is very large, it should not be less than ten thousand!"

Hearing this, all the people present changed color.

The sudden assassination, coupled with the pressure of the Nanman army, how could these two things have nothing to do with each other?
No coincidence!

At this time, Sun Wu, the official censor who was standing beside Qingji, murmured, "Your Majesty, could this series of events be the result of the rebellion..."
