King Qi glanced at Fu Chai and sneered,"Wu Wang, just wait to lose. All your previous efforts will go to waste. In the future, you have to listen to my orders. Otherwise, you will be asking for humiliation.”
"Is that so? Let's continue watching and see who can take down this cauldron.”The King of Wu pretended to be calm, but he was indeed a little nervous in his heart. This was because he was more eager than anyone else to take the position of overlord.
The Qi State's strongman tried several times, but he did not dare to move the cauldron with all his strength. Instead, he tried to find the most appropriate point of force and direction of force in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
King Qi was anxious. After a long time, he continued to circle around the cauldron. He was no expert, so he was worried that this bastard was usually lying to him.
"Gao Lizi, hurry up and move. It's time for you to serve this king.”King Qi's urging put even more pressure on the strongman, causing him to sweat profusely.
King Qi saw his opponent's feet tremble and was furious. He roared,"Gao Lizi, you ruined my plan. I will kill your entire family.”
The kings watched quietly, and Gao Lizi had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack. He held the bottom of the cauldron with his left hand and the side of the cauldron with his right. He howled hysterically and used all his strength, but the thousand-pound cauldron only moved slightly. Just as it left the ground, Gao Lizi's strength was exhausted and he fell heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, dead.
Xi Shi, who was watching from the side, instinctively covered her face and frowned. Her beautiful figure moved a little as her hair fluttered. It was obvious that she did not want to see such a tragedy happen, but she was so realistic and helpless.
Could Yuheng do it? Such a strong man had died on the spot, let alone his weak body?
"Your Majesty, why don't we fight to a draw? The people of Qi State didn't move the cauldron anyway.”Xi Shi took advantage of the situation and suggested. After all, it hadn't started yet. She didn't want to see anything happen to Yu Heng with her own eyes.
Wu Wang looked at Yu Heng beside him and said,"What do you think, Yuqing? Benwang doesn't want to lose a pillar like you just because you're young.”
Yu Heng knew that King Wu was testing him. In the depths of his heart, the feudal lords were more important than anything else.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not fail my mission.”After Yu Heng finished speaking, he stepped forward and walked towards the cauldron. After Qi State's corpse was carried away, the blood on the ground was still there. Under the scorching sun, it emitted a slight fishy smell.
"Wu Wang, can this child under you do it? Don't die more miserably than the strongmen of my Da Qi.”King Qi's heart was sour, but his words remained unyielding.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. Yu Qing is not a child, he is even a pillar of our Wu Kingdom. I believe you know about the great victory in the Valley of Death and the surprise attack at the Jing River, right? That was his masterpiece. Yuqing had done it and succeeded.”Wu Wang retorted.
King Qi was shocked. The prodigy of the Wu Kingdom was actually so young, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Yu Heng did not walk directly to the cauldron. Instead, he found a large rock and a long tree trunk. Using the rock as a pivot, he easily moved the cauldron to the door through the tree trunk. It seemed that the principles of physics and mechanics that he had learned in the past were still very useful. If only he had the subject of weapons back then. He could have made a few missiles and scared these ignorant people to death.
"Good, very good." Xi Shi couldn't help but be the first to clap and shout. However, she quickly reacted. She felt that as a noble consort, and with the King of Wu by her side, she had actually broken the etiquette.
The princes all stood up in shock. What a genius. Whoever got this person would get the world. Some people below sighed inwardly.
"Yuqing, good job. You also thought of such a wonderful plan. It's really not simple.”Wu Wang quickly stepped forward and welcomed Yu Heng to the front desk.
"Does anyone have any objections? King Qi, give everyone an explanation.”Yu Qing said to King Qi.
"Since the King of Wu has won, the Kingdom of Qi is willing to listen to his orders.”Although King Qi was unwilling, he still fulfilled his promise in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, since the Qi Kingdom has no objections and the other countries have agreed long ago, Great Wu will be the overlord of the vassals from now on. From now on, we will command the countries and conquer those who violate the rules.”Yu Heng repeated the words from the history books.
The King of Wu was secretly delighted. Finally, the most critical moment had arrived. If Yu Heng was not present today, the situation would definitely have gone out of control. This group of princes could not be easily dismissed. Without a reason to convince the masses, they could rebel at any time. The Duke Huan of Qi's expedition was a clear proof.
Thus, under Yu Heng's lead, everyone shouted to respect the overlord's orders, crusade against disobedience, and uphold justice. The atmosphere of the entire venue reached a climax, resounding through the clouds.
When they returned to the camp at night and parted ways, Xi Shi's gaze was as gentle as water. She looked at Yu Heng who was gradually leaving with an indescribable melancholy.
Recently, she found that she missed that familiar figure more and more. She missed the feeling of being hugged in the Valley of Death. The moment when she sacrificed herself to save him was beautiful and blissful. Perhaps she should thank that assassin. It was he who gave her this feeling and stimulated the feelings of a young girl in her.
"What is my beloved consort thinking? Did he still not recover from the dream of the Overlord's beloved concubine? Let me tell you, you will have an even more glorious identity in the future. I want to bring Great Wu to greater heights and make those dukes bow their heads.”Fu Chai, the King of Wu, was full of ambition, but he became arrogant in front of Xi Shi.
Xi Shi's entire body was completely embraced by the King of Wu. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she thought to herself,'If it wasn't for Yu Heng's help, you, the King of Wu, might not be able to stand up to Chu and the other countries.'
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. I am also happy for Your Majesty.”Returning to the tent, Xi Shi was somewhat absent-minded.
"Brother Yu, I was right about you. You played a big part in Great Wu's success today.”Wu Zixu had been waiting outside Yu Heng's main general's tent. He was too excited. It was a pity that he had not personally witnessed Yu Heng's defeat of the Chu Kingdom. But today, he had seen how Yu Heng had defeated King Qi's spirit and preserved Great Wu's position. He could not help but be sincerely convinced.
"Lord Wu, you flatter me. I was just lucky. If it were Lord Wu, the result would be better.”Yu Heng was humble and respected this military strategist who had an important influence in history.
"Tonight, we'll drink and talk until we're drunk.”Wu Zixu suggested.
"The king is still here, the dukes are still here, we can't be careless.”Yu Heng thought about King Wu's safety and did not dare to agree to drink with him.
"Oh, right, right, right. Brother Yu is indeed cautious. If there's anything you need from me in the future, just let me know. I'll do my best.”Wu Zixu promised readily.
The silent night seemed calm, but it was not.
