Gu Cheng took Nightshade with him and traveled all the way to the country of Yue.
Ah Qing, the Yue Nv swordsman in the Golden Book, is known as the best swordsman. Her swordsmanship is comparable to that of heavenly beings, and her prototype is the Yue Nv.
There were virgins in Yue who had perfect swordsmanship. They lived in the mountains and forests, trained soldiers, and helped Gou Jian to destroy Wu. The king of Yue said that no one in the world could beat the sword of Yue girls.
Yue Nu's swordsmanship is not only legendary, but also contains many mythological narratives.
For example, on the way to see Gou Jian, the Yue girl met an old man named Yuan Gong. The two sparred with each other, but the old man was defeated and flew up a tree and turned into a white ape, so she left.
This had a profound influence on the literary creation of later generations. In The Legend of Shushan Swordsman, Li Yingqiong’s eldest disciple was also a white ape.
In fact, no matter how miraculous it is, the real reason why Yue was able to destroy Wu in history was not due to its superior swordsmanship.
The gap between Wu and Yue, whether in terms of military strength or national power, is huge. Under normal circumstances, with the guidance of a hundred Yue girls and the entire people as soldiers, the Yue country cannot defeat Wu.
But Fan Li was sinister enough, and Gou Jian was ruthless enough. Not to mention Xi Shi's beauty trap, Gou Jian's ability to endure humiliation and bear the burden was not as simple as in a history textbook. He sacrificed himself to the queen, tasted excrement and divined diseases, and used all means to please Fu Chai.
Seeing Gou Jian's head glowing green and eating shit in his mouth, King Wu Fu Cha finally believed that after his expansion, he conquered the south and the north and continued to consume the country's power. As a result, the Yue State took advantage of Fu Cha to lead his elite troops north to join the alliance, leaving only the old and weak and the prince.
Send troops suddenly.
Just as the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty and took advantage of the situation, Fu Chai also met a similar fate as King Zhou. The country was strong and destroyed.
After Gou Jian's success, the two advisers with the greatest contribution, Fan Li, escaped, and Wen Zhong was killed. This hero was granted the title of Bo Chang by King Zhou Yuan, that is, the leader of the princes, and became the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Of course, history belongs to history, and the Yue girls in the world of immortal martial arts are very important to the country of Yue. Even Gu Cheng is looking forward to this trip.
At this time, Fu Chai was still competing with his brothers. Gou Jian had been established as the prince, and the king of Yue was his father Yunchang. He was an ambitious rogue. Although the country was weak, he kept provoking Wu.
As Gu Cheng and Long Kui walked along, they saw fighting everywhere. The Wu army sent 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they defeated the Vietnamese army. They probably had to pay tribute and surrender again.
King Yunchang of Yue was like this. Every time he provoked someone, he bowed to him when he failed. He gave wealth and women to eliminate disasters. After a few years, the scars healed and the pain was forgotten. He provoked again and was defeated again, and so on.
"Brother Wang, our Jiang country will never..."
Previously, there was only a small conflict between Wu Kingdom, but now Nightshade could see the devastation below, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Our efforts are precisely to prevent this tragic disaster from happening."
Gu Cheng brought Nightshade out because he wanted her to truly understand the world.
In this world of great contention, the most unavoidable thing is to escape like a caged bird.
Only by facing the danger head-on and making a choice is the right path.
"I see."
Nightshade pursed her lips and was stunned for a long time. Her eyes no longer escaped and she began to look at the battlefield, especially observing the appearance of the soldiers of Wu State.
Gu Chengze followed a vague sword intention and kept approaching the king of Yue.
Kuaiji.
In the palace city, which was not much more impressive than the Jiang Kingdom, Yue Wang Yunchang sat with his legs crossed, listening to the ministers discuss what compensation should be paid this time.
"Your Majesty, in the past few years, weaving, black fiber and other items have been declining year by year, and the output has become less and less. Our country has really reached the point of exhaustion!"
Yiyong, the official in charge of finance, was bald with worry at this time. He presented the account books and bowed in mourning.
"Get up! Get up!"
Yue Wang Yunchang raised his hand.
"Please, Your Majesty, be considerate of our people and stop fighting!"
The doctor Yiyong kowtowed repeatedly and refused to get up.
"Do you think you are a widower and want to fight?"
Yue Wang Yunchang was silent for a moment, then suddenly became furious and scolded: "Our country is bordered by the sea to the east, to the south are vast jungles and barbarian tribes, and to the west is the border of Chu State. Only by going north to Wu State can we open the road to the world. Without fighting, we can only sit and sit down.
Waiting to die!"
His hysterical roar echoed in the hall, and all the ministers were silent. Only a young man standing beside him said: "Father is wise!"
This man has dark skin, a slender neck, and sparse eyebrows. He is the newly crowned Gou Jian. He echoed: "King Helu of Wu has usurped the throne, and the country is in constant turmoil. He is also building a capital city, which wastes people and money. This is really the best opportunity!"
"Wang Er knows me!"
Yunchang grinned and waved his hand: "Go and contact Qing Ji. I am willing to support his restoration of the country and discuss an alliance!"
All the ministers looked at each other.
How could Qingji form an alliance?
The State of Yue suffered repeated defeats and defeats, and the State of Wu was extremely annoyed by its close neighbor, and everyone from top to bottom was extremely hostile to it.
If Qingji dared to ask Yue for help, his reputation in the country would be ruined immediately, not to mention Qingji's character and his inability to compromise with the weak.
"Your Majesty, go and select some women to weave and weave xuanxian, and pay them back to the Kingdom of Wu!"
Yunchang looked at Gou Jian again and entrusted him with "an important task".
"yes!"
Gou Jian agreed without hesitation, and his expression turned gloomy until he left the hall.
In fact, he did not agree to go to war with Wu, which would be a waste of national power, but he knew Yunchang's temper, and the old man was so stubborn that no one could persuade him.
Rather than being disliked by his father and losing his position as crown prince, it is better to endure it silently and wait until he succeeds to take over the throne before planning for big things.
After leaving the palace, Gou Jian took his attendants and headed towards Nu Lu.
The beauty of Yue women is known all over the world, and the women's business is also the best. They ride horses and lean on the leaning bridge, and the buildings are full of red sleeves and birds, and the fragrance of makeup and powder has contributed a lot to the national treasury revenue.
It is undoubtedly very shameful to rely on brothels to support the country, but Gou Jian looked as normal and supervised it personally.
On the other hand, his attendant looked rather ugly and scolded the madam: "Select thirty beautiful, smart and sensible dancers and send them to your house in three days. There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes! Yes!"
The old bustard knew that this was a person in the palace and would not dare to disobey him, so he nodded in agreement.
The beauties presented to the Wu Kingdom were all experienced dancers. After entering the palace, they learned etiquette, and then used secret techniques to disguise themselves as virgins, thereby confusing the high-ranking officials in the Wu Kingdom.
Because of this, the Yue Kingdom was defeated so many times and was not destroyed.
It's just that this method is just drinking poison to quench thirst. One day, the Wu State became impatient and the army pressed on the border. How could the Yue State resist it?
Gou Jian's eyes flashed, his heart was agitated, and a piece of xun music played leisurely.
He groaned softly and couldn't help but listen attentively.
The music has eight tones, including gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, páo, bamboo, and xun. It has only the local tones. It has five tones, six temperaments, and must be hard and soft. It was the main instrument as early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
At this time, the streets were bustling with people coming and going, which was not suitable for Xun music. However, the faint and thin sound, simple and rich, low and vicissitudes of life, clearly penetrated into the heart and penetrated the soul.
"Who is it?"
Gou Jian came to the window and looked across the street. He saw that the woman playing the xun was a slender woman with a delicate face. She was performing on the street. She was just coming and going in a hurry, and no one stopped to listen.
What surprised Gou Jian even more was that this woman's eyes were lifeless and she was actually blind.
"There are so many strange people in the market!"
Gou Jian sighed slightly, and suddenly had the idea of going forward to meet him.
But after all, he is the prince of a country and has a distinguished status. Just when he hesitated for a moment, a man and a woman appeared in front of the blind girl.
Without knowing what she said, the blind girl stopped playing the xun and left.
Gou Jian was stunned, suddenly feeling lost, as if he had missed a crucial opportunity.d
