Chapter 30 Lure

"That would be even more disgusting, these damn Wu Gou." A Qing said angrily.

Xu Yang laughed again: "It's okay to say that it was a Wu country, but I think they are not Fuchai's people. At this time, Fuchai did not have much benefit. Moreover, Fuchai was too naive in politics. Even if someone told him that Goujian would be unfavorable to him, he would not believe it, and would not arrange for assassin to assassin to assassin."

"Pa,pa,pa..." A man walked out of the woods not far away, applauding and laughing: "I didn't expect that the one who knows Fuchai the most was a little swordsman from Yue Kingdom. Oh no, he should be the chief guard of the inner guard."

Xu Yang smiled indifferently: "Where is the one who compares to Su Qing, who actually went from being an important official in the Wu State to becoming a small general manager in Yue State. It's really a waste of talent."

The person who came was Su Ting. Regarding the fact that he was a traitor, Xu Yang had already seen it from the navigation system. There were only hundreds of people in Yuegong Palace, and he was the red name representing the enemy on his head. Moreover, this name was not Su Ting's name, but Wu Ting.

Yes, he is Wu Zixu's retainer, and maybe even Wu Zixu's nephew. Wu Zixu was sentenced to death by Fuchai, who was trapped in the Yue Kingdom's alienation plan a few years ago, and Su Ting was obviously arranged by Wu Zixu to go to Yue Kingdom undercover earlier. So Su Ting was arranged secretly by Wu Zixu. Fuchai would not know this secret son, let alone order him to assassinate Goujian, and Wu Zixu's son was arranged to flee to Qi Kingdom. So, Su Ting, oh no, it should be said that there would be no one above Wu Ting who gave orders. He was the mastermind behind the whole matter.

At this time, the mastermind was not aware of all his secrets in front of Xu Yang. He slowly walked towards Xu Yang with a conscious and casual smile, and said as he walked: "Xu Qing is a talented person, but he doesn't know whether he is willing to serve my Great Wu Kingdom. I will report to King Fuchai of Wu. With Xu Qing's young and great talent, he will definitely be on stage and become a general. He will be the highest minister in the future. It is unknown whether he will be the superior minister of my Great Wu Kingdom." (Note 1)

Xu Yang couldn't help laughing and said slowly: "So what if I go on stage to worship a general? I'm as good as Sun Wuzi, but I'm still wandering in the countryside? I'm as brave as Wu Zixu, but I'm still leaning under the sword of King Wu and hanging my eyes at the East Gate of Gusu to welcome my Yue Shi. How dare I be with the two great talents? I really don't dare to be treated with the great gifts of King Wu." (Note 2)

Su Ting was stunned and excited. After calming down, he said in a muffled voice: "Wu Zixu is unfaithful and Sun Wuzi is unrighteous. How can he compare with Xu Qing, who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light? Please think about it three times."

Xu Yang asked: "If I don't agree, will Su Qing kill someone to silence him? Haha."

Su Ting forced a smile and said, "Xu Qing was joking. As soon as Xu Qing had high sword skills, he killed 13 assassins. I think how could Su be Xu Qing's opponent? Besides, Su is not afraid that Xu Qing will make the statement that he is a native of Wu. Su has served King Yue since he was a child. Others are afraid that Su is more trusting than Xu Qing?"

Xu Yang nodded and said, "That's true, I am indeed more intelligent in swordsmanship." He actually admitted it, he actually admitted it shamelessly...

Su Ting's face became a little ugly: "So, please forgive me, Su is indeed recruiting talents for Lord Fuchai. As long as Xu Qing is willing to serve my Great Wu, Su guarantees that Xu Qing will be valued, and it is no problem to be promoted to Shangqing within three to five years."

Xu Yang smiled and said, "Su Qing, where is your official position in Wu State?"

Su Ting's face looked even more ugly: "The position in his early years was not worth mentioning. After someone returned to China, the King of Wu would naturally be rewarded."

Xu Yang smiled again: "I think Su Qing won't be the first to be the Shangqing?"

Su Ting almost turned his back: "So what?" He didn't hit someone in the face, my elder brother, is it appropriate to say that he was a young official in front of him?

Xu Yang said seriously: "Since Su Qing is only under the Supreme Court, how can he guarantee that a certain official title is above the Supreme Court? Is Su Qing confident that he can usurp the throne?"

"This..." Su Ting was speechless. The temporary temptation was just to make Xu Yang let go of his guard, but he didn't expect there was such a big loophole.

Xu Yang asked again: "What's more, as you said, if I succeed, I will be Shangqing of Wu Kingdom. If the matter fails, you are not afraid that I will leak the news and affect your continued lurking. Then..." Xu Yang sneered: "What's your plan to arrange so many assassins to surround me?" Yes, from the navigation system, Xu Yang saw at least twenty red dots lying around. If the martial arts of these assassins are similar to those of the previous assassins, and with a Su Ting who is obviously much higher in martial arts, it's really hard to deal with it. Unfortunately... Humph, Xu Yang laughed secretly in his heart.

Su Ting did not expect that if he arranged for an assassin to stand on the outside, he would be seen by Xu Yang. Fortunately, he had many people on his side. Even if Xu Yang had extraordinary martial arts skills, it would not be easy to break out. What's more, there was a woman in the siege. Judging from Xu Yang's previous attitude, it was obvious that the girl attached great importance to this. Su Ting absolutely did not think that Xu Yang's martial arts skills were so high that he could escape with the woman. Su Ting, who thought that Zhizhu was holding, could not have imagined that he was not far from the cup.

Thinking of this, Su Ting took a high attitude that I had in the world and said, "Xu Qing is talented, Su will also be worried that Xu Qing will be angry for a moment and attack Su, so appropriate safety measures are also required, but I don't know what Xu Qing thinks?"

Xu Yang curled his lips and said, "If Xu doesn't agree, will Su Qing be sure to keep me?"

Su Ting also smiled and said, "There is no chance to stay Xu Qing, but... I feel sorry for such a beautiful woman. Is Xu Qing willing to leave alone?"

"She?" Xu Yang turned his head and pointed at A Qing, thinking, if someone wants to commit suicide, he really can't stop him.

Ah Qing was still confused and ignorant. She couldn't understand most of the conversation between Xu Yang and Su Ting. However, this person surnamed Su seemed to be unfavorable to Xu Yang and couldn't help it. Just when she wanted to do it, she saw Xu Yang turn her head and wink at herself, so Ah Qing... continued to hold it back.

Su Ting smiled but didn't answer. Some things were not beautiful if they were to put it bluntly. Seeing Xu Yang's appearance as if he was a little harsh and cowardly, Su Ting only found it funny. It felt great to catch someone else's life.

Xu Yang's stomach was sore that he insisted on holding back and asked, "If, just say if, if, if, if I promise Su Qing, what else do Su Qing want me to do to win the letter to Fuchai?"

Su Ting said seriously: "Fchai thought about it day and night that he was just going to attack Qi in the north and dominate the princes of the world. Wu Jia was invincible in the world. The only thing he was worried about was that after attacking Qi, he would be attacked by Yue Kingdom behind him. If Xu Qing could help King Wu solve this worry, I believe that King Wu would never be stingy with the rewards. I believe that there would definitely be no one in the guards of King Yue who was Xu Qing. I could also help him secretly. In this way, great things could be accomplished!"

Note 1: Shangqing, an official name in ancient times, was equivalent to the prime minister during the Warring States Period, and was also the highest-level chief of the country during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Note 2: Sun Wuzi is the Sun Tzu, the author of the military masterpiece "The Art of War" in later generations. In his early years, he was active in Qi State. Due to the civil turmoil in Qi, he later went to Wu State and was recommended by Wu Zixu to King Helu of Wu, commanding 30,000 Wu troops. He adopted a war strategy that was ahead of the enemy and attacked thousands of miles away. He finally defeated Chu. It is said that the battle of Wu Yue Fujiao was also adopted by Sun Tzu's strategy and almost destroyed Yue State. Later, because his good friend Wu Zixu was killed, he no longer served for Wu State and lived in seclusion in the countryside of Wu State to improve his military arts. In addition, his descendant Sun Bin, by the way, was the little man in the king's pesticides, and he was also a master of military arts. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao was his masterpiece.

Wu Zixu was a minister of Chu in his early years. Later, because King Ping of Chu was foolish, he killed Wu Zixu's father and brother, and had no choice but to escape from Wu and help Prince Guang, who was still the prince of Wu at that time, assassinated the then King of Wu Liao. Prince Guang was the first to be the king of Wu. After King of Wu Helu defeated Chu, he used troops to Yue and was defeated by Goujian. He passed the throne to Fuchai. Wu Zixu was supervised. Later, because Fuchai was defeated by Yue, he was sentenced to death by Fuchai. Before his death, he asked his disciples to dig out his eyes and place them on the east gate of Gusu City to watch Yue destroy Wu. Nine years later, the army of Yue indeed entered from Gusu East Gate and Wu was destroyed.

It is said that after Wu Zixu destroyed the capital of Yingdu of Chu, he did not capture the then King Zhao of Chu, so he excavated the tomb of King Ping of Chu and whipped 300 corpses. Later historians also said that someone was deliberately slandering Wu Zixu. The most authoritative historical books at that time, "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan" did not mention the corpse whipping. This article adopted the latter's opinion, but Wu Zixu did not have whipping corpses.
