Zixu Changqing

Chapter 20

Wu Zixu walked back to his home, and there was a man standing by the river in front of the door. In the darkness, Sun Changqing couldn't see his face clearly: "Have you already guessed my identity?"

Wu Zixu: "Little General Sun?"

The news was transmitted slowly, and it was only when the Qi State envoy arrived that he knew what happened to Qi State.

In the early spring of this year, there was a coup d'état in the state of Wu, and two months earlier, a coup d'etat in the state of Qi. The four families of Gao, Luan, Bao, and Tian in Qi joined forces to assassinate Xiangguo. Yan Ying failed in the assassination, and the four major families received different punishments.

The Sun family is an important branch of the Tian family, and they contributed a lot in this assassination. They were ordered by King Qi to exterminate the family, and the Sun family members escaped from Qi.

Sun Changqing sighed: "When did you know?"

Wu Zixu: "I almost guessed it as soon as we met."

Sun Changqing: "..."

There is a relationship between Sun Changqing's family and Yan Ying.

Sun Changqing's grandfather, whose real name is Tian Shu, was given the surname Sun by the former King of Qi because of his military exploits, and the Sun family was founded.

Many years ago, there was no candidate for the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Qi State, and Sun Shu was very likely to take the position. In the end, the Tian family recommended Sun Shu, but Yan Ying recommended a member of the Tian family, Tian Rangju.

Although Tian Rangju was still young at the time and his reputation was not obvious, King Qi always valued the opinion of Xiangguo Yan Pingzhong, and the ministers present felt that both Sun Shu and Tian Rangju were from the Tian family, and it made no difference who was the coach.

So the position of coach fell to Tian Rangju.

Later, the facts proved that Yan Pingzhong was not mistaken, Tian Rangju was a handsome talent, and he was an excellent coach.

Later, the famous general Rangju and the virtuous minister Pingzhong, one in charge of the army and the other in charge of the government, their reputation spread to all countries, and Yan Ying was also praised as the eye of wisdom.

In this story, the only unhappy person is Sun Shu.

He was a bit old at the beginning, and he missed the position of coach in his whole life.

Sun Shu hated Yan Ying.

Sun Changqing didn't have any ill feeling towards the Prime Minister. Last year, a comet passed across the sky of Qi State, and the King of Qi was worried and brought all the officials to sacrifice to heaven.At that time, Sun Changqing saw Lord Yan standing behind the king, the head of all officials, although his stature was short like a dwarf, he was really an existence that could not be ignored.After offering sacrifices to heaven, Yan Ying took the opportunity to ask King Qi to reduce the tax burden and corvee, and King Qi readily accepted.

Although Yan Ying is not a member of the four major families, three generations of Qi kings have attached great importance to Yan Ying, and his power cannot be underestimated.

In the past, Yan Pingzhong's two peaches killed three men, and at the same time he achieved his own prestige, he also caused himself a lot of dissatisfaction. Although he later said in private that it shouldn't be like this, it was useless after all.

This spring, the four major families were dissatisfied with Yan Ying's power and planned to assassinate him.

However, Yan Ying was superior, the assassination failed, and Yan Ying was safe and sound.

The Sun family was ordered to be killed by King Qi, and Mr. Sun Shu led the Sun family to flee to Wu.

After this battle, the old man was disheartened and wanted to take the whole family to live in seclusion. Sun Changqing and other young people were unwilling, but the old man gave them an order: If they go out, they are not allowed to join the army or politics, so as not to bring disaster to the Sun family.

Sun Changqing agreed to go to Yanling, while others went to other places in Wu State, and some went to other countries.

Now that the words were explained, Wu Zixu said, "Mr. Changqing, what are your plans for the future?"

Sun Changqing: "Teach perseverance."

Wu Zixu said: "I heard from human beings, golden scales are in the pond, and you can transform into a dragon in the face of wind and clouds. You are full of talent. There are no princes in the territory of Wu today, and King Helu of Wu is a rare hero. Why don't you borrow Wu's soldiers?" , use what you have learned in your life, and use your life's revenge? Show off your talents?!"

Sun Changqing shook his head: "You think too highly of me." I like to drink and talk to my friends when I'm drunk. "

Things have come to this point, there is no room for change.

Wu Zixu breathed out a long breath, forced a smile and said, "That's fine, everyone has his own ambitions, so we can't force ourselves to come."

From then on, Wu Zixu only regarded Sun Changqing as a master.

At the autumnal equinox, Bo Pi (pi) from the state of Chu came, and his experience was similar to Wu Zixu's.

Some soldiers from Chu State invaded the border of Wu State. He Lu took Wu Zixu as his commander and asked him to go to the border with Bo Pi to defend against the enemy.

The night before his departure, Wu Zixu was just lying on the couch when there was a knock on the door.

Wu Zixu asked, "Who?"

"it's me."

The room was not lit, so Sun Changqing opened the door and came in, slowly approaching the room in the dark: "Are you asleep?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by the wooden edge of the screen. With a sound of "dong", Sun Changqing rubbed his forehead depressedly, and walked carefully aside.

Wu Zixu laughed.

Sun Changqing heard laughter: "I kindly gave you something to eat, but you still laugh at me?"

Wu Zixu wondered: "It's midnight, why did you give me something to eat?"

Sun Changqing groped: "Of course I'm afraid you'll be hungry."

Wu Zixu didn't believe it, so he went forward and pulled Sun Changqing over to sit on the couch. At this moment, he saw clearly what Sun Changqing was holding in his hand, and he was really afraid that he would be hungry. It was a plate of dumplings.

Sun Changqing explained: "Get the dumplings on the horse and get the noodles on the horse. It's a custom in our country to eat dumplings before leaving for good luck."

Wu Zixu took over the plate of steaming dumplings: "...Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, but the taste may not be very good."

Wu Zixu shook his head, took the wooden chopsticks from Sun Changqing's hand, picked one up and started to eat slowly. Sun Changqing asked, "How is it?"

Wu Zixu said, "It's very delicious."

In fact, the taste was a bit bland, but even if Sun Changqing didn't add salt, he could still finish this plate of dumplings.

Wu Zixu ate a plate of dumplings cleanly and felt comfortable before putting the plate of chopsticks on the table under the window.

Sun Changqing asked very casually: "You are fighting this time, when will you come back?"

Wu Zixu said: "Not necessarily, it will be March next year at the earliest, if it is too late, I may not know when it will be.

Sun Changqing said: "Okay, on the battlefield, be careful, wait for your victory, and then we will have a celebration wine together."

Wu Zixu smiled and said, "Definitely."

Sun Changqing was about to stand up: "Then you rest first, I won't disturb you anymore."

"You can sleep here with me today." Wu Zixu pulled him to sit down again: "Changqing, come on the couch, let's talk."

The two lay side by side on the couch, first they talked about all kinds of food, and then they talked about the interesting things about their respective childhoods. The things about Sun Changqing's childhood were very interesting, and Wu Zixu couldn't stop laughing.

After a long time, Wu Zixu fell asleep. Sun Changqing looked at him for a while, then slowly lowered his head, and sniffed in the pocket of his shoulder.

It's like animals recognizing people.

He smelled Wu Zixu's scent, which was very faint and pleasant, a bit like the sweet smell of hay in the field when they came back from Liuhuafang side by side that night.

Sun Changqing sighed, and carefully pulled up his thin quilt.

Then Sun Changqing also fell into a deep sleep next to Wu Zixu.

The night wind blows the window screen silently, bringing the sound of dogs barking in the distance, and the moonlight shines into the house through the window, reflecting the dimness in the house.

The author has something to say: Thank you for reading the book. I am preparing my graduation thesis recently, so the update is not timely, but the book will not be pitted, and the beginning must be finished.
