The spring in Suzhou is much warmer, but at night, the dense water vapor disperses into fog, which can still make people feel cool.
If you get into the water, the biting cold feeling is no different from winter.
Wow...
The oar slid gently on the water, and there was an occasional click sound, which was caused by the oar colliding against the wooden side of the boat.
The blackness without lights and the small sounds can make people concentrate.
The sound of heavy breathing echoed from the boats one after another. Even veterans who had experienced dozens of battles on the battlefield were extremely nervous at this time.
What they are about to face is the King of Wu.
Gusu has well-developed waterways, with hundreds and dozens of water gates, large and small. On weekdays, more than half of them are open to traffic, but with the closure of the royal city, many waterways have become cold.
Wow...
The sound of splashing sounded again, the starlight shone on the water, and you could still see some dark shadows moving forward along the river.
The best paddlers don't need to look; they know where to go as soon as they reach the river.
The dark shadow in the distance is the city wall of Gusu. The officer guarding the water gate is one of his own, and Young Master Yin knows this very well.
He didn't find it difficult to enter the city.
What's difficult is meeting his father, the current King of Wu, Gouchen.
Benefit, Benefit...
The wooden bow probably hit the stone wall at the water gate. After readjusting its direction, it entered it smoothly.
There was originally a dock in front of the dark waterway. In the past, ships entering through this waterway had to pay taxes and fees here.
There are market shops on both sides of the river, which used to be very lively and prosperous. Even after the curfew at night, there are still scattered people enjoying themselves. The officials will not care about the happiness behind closed doors, as long as they don't walk around at night.
At this time, all the excitement was gone, the brick walls and steps were much cleaner. In the past, I could easily smell the aroma of food coming from the houses on both sides, but now there is nothing.
Wow...
The sound of splashing water sounded again, and the ship continued to move forward slowly.
An elusive feeling suddenly came to mind. Gong Ziyin's eyes were calm, but his heart was a little anxious. He took a deep breath and let it out for a long time. It was a very bad feeling, but he could not convey it.
As long as he holds his ground, his subordinates won't panic.
He is sitting in the cabin, with a Wu hook on the side of his leg, and the sword is still hidden in the scabbard. Whether it will be unsheathed tonight will be revealed soon.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Young Master Yin shouted loudly, then stood up and walked out of the cabin. The family leader beside him asked in a low voice: "Young Master?"
"Everything is too easy, just like a piece of cake..."
Gong Ziyin looked at the darkness not far away. If it was daytime, there should be a bridge. It was a wooden bridge, like a huge fortress, spanning both sides of the bank.
Now, with a little starlight, I can still vaguely see the outline of the fortress, which is dark and devoid of anything.
But it was the lack of anything that made Gongzi Yin feel uneasy.
The journey has been so smooth.
"well……"
Sighing, he suddenly took out his sword, gently rubbed Wu Gou with his palm, and then said to his family: "I have six children, please help me to raise them. As for today's affairs, I am responsible for them alone.
, the head on the neck can be used as a contribution to your advancement."
"Master!"
Jia Ling didn't understand what was going on at all. How could he be so well behaved and suddenly have to wipe his neck?
He didn't understand, so he immediately stopped Gong Ziyin from committing suicide. While holding Gong Ziyin's arm, there was a sudden noise around him.
Teng Teng Teng...
Fire shot into the sky.
Torches suddenly appeared, and soldiers and horses were everywhere on both sides of the river. Directly ahead of the river, on the fortress-like bridge, three or four rows of fire points were burning. They were rockets that could be fired at any time.
Suddenly, the smell came out. I don't know what it was burning, but on the fortress directly in front, Wu Jia spread out to the left and right, and one person looked down at the river with cold eyes.
This man didn't seem to be wearing armor, just a robe, with at most a thick cloak. But even so, standing there, he gave people a real sense of oppression.
Who else could it be if he wasn't Wu Wang Gouchen?!
"See you, father!"
Gong Ziyin stepped onto the bow of the boat. At this moment, the boats on the river gradually lit up torches, and the entire water surface lit up. The warriors in the cabin were all pale and countless were trembling.
He is obviously a great man who has been on the battlefield for many years, but at this moment he is trembling all over and does not even have the courage to shout.
His mouth was open, but no sound came out.
The calmest one is Gong Ziyin.
He was already tall, but now under the firelight, standing on the bow of the ship, he looked even more majestic. If it weren't for the disability of one foot, he would be a perfect imitation of King Wu Gouchen.
"Ji Yin, you want to see me. I've been waiting for a long time."
When Gou Chen spoke, many people on the water bank could hear him clearly.
Gong Ziyin looked up at his father. He was an old man in his sixties, and he himself had already passed his thirties.
Grinning, Young Master Yin held his sword and saluted: "Yin will be responsible for tonight's affairs alone. The fault lies with Ji Yin, and the rest are not guilty."
After saying this, without waiting for the family order to speak, Gongzi Yin took Wu Gou with his backhand and scratched it directly on his neck.
With a scoff, blood arrows spurted out, and Young Master Yin fell backwards. His whole body collapsed on the ground. Although his limbs were still twitching unconsciously, there was no possibility of saving him.
"Master——"
Jia Ling didn't have time to react, so he threw himself on Young Master Yin Wen's body and burst into tears. It was not that Jia Ling had not expected such an ending.
However, no matter whether it is the family order or the other low-level officers who want to do something big, they are all thinking about what if? What if they succeed? Everyone has some connections in Gusu City, and they want to find out what's going on in the royal city.
What’s so difficult about change?
It's just that everyone was lucky, except Gong Ziyin, who probably expected the result from the beginning.
Perhaps even earlier, when he secretly returned to Suzhou, he had anticipated the current solution.
After a while, cries were heard from all the boats on the water. The cries spread very far and made people heartbroken. However, King Gouchen of Wu on the bridge looked as usual.
Everyone present thought that Ji Yin had expected that today would happen recently, but Gou Chen knew very well that his son had been preparing for this moment since many years ago.
"Your Majesty..."
The person who accompanied Gou Chen late at night was the senior doctor Jia Ren. His face was also pale at this moment, and he asked Gou Chen tremblingly, "What should we do with the rest of the people?"
"Killing Ji Yin was successful."
"yes……"
After saying this, King Gouchen of Wu looked as usual, and under the escort of Wu Jia, he left this slightly damp place.
