Wu Zixu's heart-to-heart talk made Yu Heng somewhat admire him. Thinking back to the entire battle between Wu and Yue, although on the surface, Wu had driven the people of Yue to Kuaiji Mountain to hide, the people of Yue had entered the heart of Wu's power. In a sense, Wu and Yue had their own victories and defeats.
In the dead of night, Yu Heng might have been a little tired. After Wu Zixu left, he fell asleep early. However, the King of Wu's tent was brightly lit, and it seemed like he was having a night of fun with Beauty Xi Shi.
Wu Zixu passed by and could not help but shake his head. He hesitated for a moment but did not enter. In the State of Wu, many of his colleagues knew that Wu Zixu could not stand these things. He did not like this Yue woman Xi Shi, but because the King of Wu favored her, there was nothing he could do.
"Beloved consort, do you think I'm very impressive today?”
"Yes, Great King. With a single call from the Great King, hundreds of people will respond.”Xi Shi fawned over Fu Chai and greeted him with a smile. The two of them were drinking cross-cupped wine.
Privately, perhaps only Xi Shi knew that the man in front of her was not what she wanted. What she longed for was the kind of free and unfettered Shangri-La life. If she could spend the rest of her life with Yuheng, perhaps she would be in another world.
"Am I the most charming man in the world today?”The King of Wu was obviously drunk and was constantly seeking spiritual satisfaction in front of Xi Shi. How could the beauty in his arms not know this lonely man?
Time flew by in the midst of the music, and soon, it was late at night. However, the King of Wu did not feel sleepy at all. Under the service of the world's number one beauty, he was in high spirits.
"Beloved Consort, shall we play hide-and-seek? See if I can find you? Hehe, my little beauty, I really love you to death.”Fu Chai began to speak incoherently, but Xi Shi could not disobey him. Obedience was the duty of a concubine.
"As long as Your Majesty is happy, I am willing to do anything.”After saying that, Xi Shi gently pulled out a piece of gauze from her sleeve and gently covered the King's eyes. However, the drunken King's big hand did not move away from Xi Shi's slender waist.
"Aiya, king, this is not how you play hide-and-seek. You can't keep hugging this concubine. You have to let go of your hand so that we can have fun.”Xi Shi's gentle voice was like a lingering sound that drifted into the ears of the King of Wu. It was too beautiful, and it was a kind of ethereal enjoyment.
Just as the two of them were having fun in the palace tent, two or three arrows were shot at King Wu's desk. If he was dealing with official business, then King Wu's life would be written off.
Immediately, the outside of the tent became lively. The guards of the King of Wu were leading the defense of the palace tent. Wu Zixu immediately led his men to hunt down the assassin.
"Swoosh..." The sound of a few sharp arrows still echoed in his ears. Wu Wang had already woken up from his drunkenness, and his heart was even more nervous.
"Beloved consort, you, you think, who do you think wants to harm this king?”The King of Wu was still in a daze. He asked Xi Shi, who was standing in front of him, in a trembling voice, while he was still hiding under the table.
Seeing this scene, Xi Shi looked down on this kind of man. As the ruler of a country and the overlord of a feudal vassal state, he actually had such courage. What a joke.
At this time, Yu Heng walked in. He didn't see Wu Wang for a while, but saw Xi Shi standing in front of the table, so he hurriedly asked,"Imperial Concubine, where's the King? Is the king well?"
"Yu Qing, Yu Qing, you're finally here.”When Wu Wang saw Yu Heng walk in, the fear in his heart lessened slightly, and he crawled out from under the table.
Yu Heng secretly laughed in his heart, but he did not laugh out loud. Thinking of Xi Shi's disdainful expression just now, this Wu Wang indeed had a reason for her to look down on him.
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. Lord Wu has already led his men to pursue them. This is a plain, and it will be very difficult for these assassins to escape.”Yu Heng comforted.
Wu Wang tidied his clothes and returned to his usual appearance. He said,"What else is there to see? Kill them directly as a warning to the others. Kill all those who are harmful to this king to prevent future troubles.”
"If we don't interrogate them, then the root of the problem can't be removed.”Yu Heng reminded. At this time, Wu Wang's words were clearly emotional and did not have any long-term considerations.
Hearing Yu Heng's words, Wu Wang turned his head to look at Xi Shi. His original intention was to hear Xi Shi's opinion on this matter.
"What does my beloved consort think?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Yu is right. In my opinion, once we find the source, we must eliminate it. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble in the future.”Xi Shi said, but she had a plan in her heart. From the arrows on the table, it should be done by the Chu people. Now that the overlord position was confirmed, it was a good time to start a war between the Wu and Chu countries. It would consume the strength of the Wu country as much as possible, which would be beneficial for the revenge of the Yue country.
Yu Heng was puzzled in his heart. He originally wanted to turn a big matter into a small matter. According to his guess, there were only two possibilities for this kind of thing. However, now that Xi Shi was trying her best to investigate, it must be someone from Chu.
History was history. The King of Wu's anger had caused the lives of the people to be plunged into misery. The situation was difficult to deal with, and he had slowly dug his own grave.
"Imperial Concubine is right. You are indeed the beauty beside this king. To be able to put yourself in this king's shoes, I am gratified.”The King of Wu pulled up Xi Shi's black hair and sniffed it, enjoying the intoxicated posture.
"Reporting, Your Majesty, I have returned.”Wu Zixu hurriedly walked in and knelt down five steps away from the King of Wu to report.
"Hurry up and tell me, how's the investigation going?" Wu Wangzhi asked.
"Your Majesty, it's, it's the people of Chu. The people of Chu did it.”Wu Zixu thought of his own country and sighed. Even after so many years, the hatred from back then was still flashing in front of his eyes.
"Then what are we waiting for? Go back and prepare. Tomorrow, we'll attack the Chu Country. I want to show the people of the Chu Country how powerful our Great Wu is.”Wu Wang's expression tightened, and his fists clenched tightly. In this alliance meeting, the people of Chu had repeatedly opposed him. It was time for him to make a move.
"Your Majesty, we can't. We can't attack Chu now for two reasons: Firstly, the Wu army has been out for a long time, and their morale is low. Secondly, if the Chu country dares to make a move, they must be fully prepared and waiting for me to go? Therefore, Your Majesty, we need to be careful when attacking Chu.”Wu Zixu's words were very reasonable. Yu Heng also secretly nodded at the side. However, King Wu did not listen to these and insisted on doing it. Perhaps he was afraid that Xi Shi would look down on him, and some of them were really angry.
"It's settled then. Whoever dares to stop me, I'll make them lose their heads.”The King of Wu had made up his mind, but he still spoke arrogantly. The ministers in the tent all kept their mouths shut tightly. Only Wu Zixu still knelt and begged the King of Wu to think twice.
Yu Heng secretly observed that the corner of Xi Shi's mouth curled up slightly. Although it was not easy to notice, it let the joy in her heart reveal itself.
"Your Majesty is wise. I am willing to advance and retreat with Your Majesty.”Xi Shi continued to agitate, completely ignoring Wu Zixu who was kneeling on the ground.
