Chapter 225 Waiting for an Opportunity "Daddy, that scoundrel is awake."
The girl jumped away in fright and shouted out with her mouth open.
There was no answer outside the door, and the girl was frightened, and suddenly shrank up like a little quail, and quietly moved her steps towards the door while looking at Qingji vigilantly.
"Hey, don't be afraid, uncle is not a bad person", Qingji said with difficulty, trying to squeeze out a harmless smile.
The little girl pursed her lips tightly and glared at him vigorously, but still did not speak.
Qingji smiled again, the little girl in front of her was only seven or eight years old, thin and small, with a pointed chin, a small nose, and a pair of big eyes.
She was wearing a tattered boyish outfit that had been washed many times, and in many places it had worn out and become a silk mesh, and some of her thighs and ribs were exposed.
Her knees had been ground into strands of silk, and a worn-out kudzu belt was wrapped around Qingji's small waist that could be grasped by a big hand, and the trouser leg that had been torn off by Qingji was re-sewn with sparse silk threads.
All this shows that this little girl is just an ordinary girl in a nearby village, and her family is very poor.
Qingji made a preliminary judgment about her identity and family background, and quickly thought of a rhetoric, he tried to make his voice smooth and soft, and asked, "You saved me, little girl, what's your name?"
The little girl turned her head unappreciatively, her eyes rolled, and landed on a harpoon behind the door, it was a bamboo fork, only the head was wrapped in a layer of copper skin as a blade, perhaps this is a very precious production tool in this family, the copper fork is very well maintained, and it is shiny to wipe.
"This little guy is very vigilant, and he is not small, if Qingji is forked to death by such a little girl" The corners of Qingji's mouth twitched, his eyes fell in front of him, he was lying on the bed, with a tattered quilt on his body, and a set of bedding on the back of his shoulder, just at hand, there was a pear, the pear was yellow and clear, it looked delicious, one side of it had been bitten a few times, the bite was like being plowed, there were tooth marks, it looked very cute.
Qingji couldn't help but smile, reached out and grabbed the pear, and without wiping it, he took a big bite.
The pear flesh is not delicate, sweet and sour, and the taste is quite delicious.
Qingji was full of fishy taste, even if he was poured hot soup in the syncope, he couldn't get rid of it, and he took a bite of the pear, but he felt a fresh fragrance, and he didn't feel refreshed, and he took a few more bites.
The pear wasn't too big, and he nibbled it in a few clicks.
While Qingji was gobbling up pears, the little girl kept staring at him with wide eyes.
Qingji ate the pears and smiled at her, deliberately appearing weaker to dispel her vigilance: "Uncle is really not a bad person.
You saved your uncle's life, and when your uncle recovers from his injuries, he will repay you, and your uncle will give you a beautiful new dress and give you a lot of money. ” The little girl's big talking eyes slowly lit up, and she suddenly asked quickly, "Who are you, are you rich?"
She spoke very quickly, and when she finished speaking, she closed her mouth as if a mosquito would fly into her mouth.
"Yes, uncle has a lot of money," Qingji said with a deep groan, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Don't lie," the girl said quickly as she caught a glimpse of his eyes.
Her voice was crisp and nice, the typical Vietnamese accent.
Qingji didn't expect this little country girl to be so alert, and when he looked at this girl in surprise, the girl had closed her mouth again and looked at him very vigilantly with a pair of big eyes.
"Ahem, of course, how could my uncle lie to the little girl, hehehe, my uncle is really a very rich man, my uncle's family is a big businessman in Wu, after my uncle's father dies, it is time for my uncle to inherit the family business, but my uncle has a bad uncle."
"Hmm" the little girl furrowed a pair of beautiful eyebrows and looked at him with a very cute expression.
"Uh, it's my uncle's uncle, my uncle's father's brother."
"Oh" "Uncle's uncle is a bad uncle, and the bad uncle wants to occupy the uncle's property, so the bad uncle took advantage of the uncle's unpreparedness, stabbed the uncle with a sword, and pushed the uncle off the boat, and the uncle floated down the river."
Qingji tried his best to make up a lie, and then said: "That bad uncle is afraid that his uncle is not dead, and he will definitely send someone to find it, little sister, you hide your uncle, and get some food for your uncle, okay Wait for the loyal uncle's generals and stewards to find the uncle, and the uncle punished the bad uncle, so he will send you a lot of good things in return, do you think it is okay?"
The little girl's dark eyes rolled a few times, and she suddenly asked, "You are really not a bad uncle" "Of course not, do you see my uncle like a bad guy?"
Qingji raised his hand with difficulty, brushed the long loose hair hanging in front of his eyes, and squeezed out a smile at her.
At this time, Qingji's hair was scattered, there were some sticks and weeds on his head, the unrepaired micro-mustache needles were generally erected one by one, and his face was soaked in water, with a few mud marks on his left cheek and a clear shoe print on his right cheek, which did not look like a bad person, but like a beggar The little girl's eyes were obviously more suspicious, Qingji touched his waist, the sharp sword from Gou Jian was gone, but the Lu Qi in his arms was still there.
Qingji secretly thought: "Although this family is poor, it is an honest family, and they didn't search my body.
It seems that this is the border of the country, my people can't find this kind of place, I have to gain the trust of this family, let them send me back as soon as possible, my life and death are uncertain, and now I don't know what the chaos in the camp has become."
Thinking of the possible consequences, Qingji was anxious, but he couldn't show it at the moment, he touched his arms, and found that there were still some things in his bag, so he took out a piece of jade ornament, put it in his hand and said to her: "Oh, you see, this is a very valuable jade ornament, where is there such a valuable thing, isn't it?"
The jade ornament shone with a lustrous luster, so verdant that even the little girl who had never seen the world could see its preciousness and beauty.
"Wow" the little girl's eyes lit up and she opened her mouth in amazement.
Qingji found out that there were only three or five lonely little white teeth left in the mouth of this very cute little Lori who were still sticking to their posts, and they looked particularly ridiculous when they opened their mouths, no wonder this little girl spoke quickly, and immediately closed her mouth after speaking, because she was afraid that others would see it.
Qingji smiled knowingly: "Uncle gave it to you, okay?"
The little girl nodded subconsciously and shook her head quickly, when the door opened, and a man wearing a bamboo hat walked in, holding a bamboo basket in one hand and a retracted fishing net in the other.
As soon as the little girl saw her father, she immediately ran over, took his bamboo basket and put it aside, the man took off the bamboo hat, put the fishing net, and looked at Qingji with a smile: "Little brother, are you awake" This man is tall and thin, he looks like he is thirty-seven or eighteen, but it is difficult to say exactly at this age, due to the hardships of life, many ordinary peasant families are much older than their actual age, from this person's vigorous movements and eyes, his actual age should be less than thirty years old, but just looking at the fine smile lines on his face, it seems that he is almost forty.
"Big brother, little brother thanked big brother for saving his life."
Qingji struggled to sit up, but the man caught up a few steps and held him down: "Lie down, you are injured, don't get up." ” He walked over quickly, and Qingji saw that this person was lame, one leg could not be strengthened, and he had to drag it on the ground, and it was very difficult to limp and limp.
The man turned to his daughter and said, "Xiaoguang, go and pick up the fish, and then stew the fish soup to replenish this uncle's body." ” "Dad, don't you take this fish to the city to exchange money for your mother's treatment?"
The man was told by his daughter, and glanced at Qingji with some embarrassment, and said to his daughter: "You can fight the fish again, don't be verbose, go quickly." ” "Oh" The girl took advantage of her father's unpreparedness, glared at Qingji, picked up the fish basket and went out.

"I was saved and my surname was killed, and my little brother is already grateful, but don't be so wasteful, I don't know what to call the eldest brother" The man smiled honestly: "Little brother, don't be so polite, my surname is Shi, just call me Brother Shi." ” "Brother Shi."
"Brother you are" "Oh, the younger brother's surname is Xi, Xi Bin, he is a businessman, because" Qingji repeated what he had said to the girl Xiaoguang to him again, the man sat on the edge of the bed and listened silently, after Qingji finished speaking, Brother Shi looked at him thoughtfully and lowered his eyelids.
Qing Ji peeked at his expression, his heart was dark, he laughed stiffly, and asked, "Brother Shi, but I don't believe it" Brother Shi smiled sullenly, glanced up at him, and said slowly: "Brother Xi, you are a soldier of Wu Guo."
Qingji was taken aback, and quickly reached into his arms to grasp the handle of the knife, and looked at the lame man awe-inspiringly.
"Big Brother" Candle Yong ran into the big tent in a hurry, stretched out his hand to take off the bronze helmet, threw it into the arms of a guard next to him, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go out, go out, let me out." ” "Big Brother" Cover Yu put down the bamboo slip in his hand, frowned, and said unhappily: "How old are you, not to mention that now you are still holding the position of the Great Sikong, what is the matter with stability?"
"Big brother, I'm going to see King Qing's injury, but I'm also blocked from entering, I'm his uncle, and I'm actually blocked out of the tent, this is too evil, right, you're my eldest brother, you tell me the truth, what happened to Qingji" Cover Yu's eyes flashed, and said: "What else can I do if I was hit by a sword in the ribs, and I passed through my body, how serious the injury was, I couldn't see the wind, I need to recuperate, you didn't see me, I didn't go to visit him, tell you to stay in this formation, what are you going to do?"
"Hehe" Candle Yong smiled slyly, leaned closer and said: "Forget it, Jun died in hair, secret not mourning, this is the rule since ancient times, Candle Yong is not a three-year-old child, and I don't understand the truth, you can hide it from the soldiers of the three armies, but you can't hide it from me, the uncle of today's king."
Big brother, you tell the truth, is Qingji already dead?"
"Fart, don't talk nonsense" Cover Yu Yu suddenly changed color, nervously glanced at the tent, and saw that there was no one at the tent, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to his younger brother in a fierce voice: "You are crazy, this sentence spreads, don't say that you are my brother, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army like this, I will arrest you immediately." ” Candle Yong's expression tightened, and he also lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, he's really dead."
Cover Yu glanced at the door again, pulled his arm, pulled him into the tent and sat down, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, he is indeed injured, but the person fell into the water and disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
In order to reassure the army, we claimed that the king was injured and recuperated, and at the same time ordered General Yingtao to search along the river.
Otherwise, you think that Fucha can honestly stay in Gusu City, and you will take the opportunity to send troops to counterattack. ” "Big brother, it's been a few days now, Ying Taoke once found Qingji that he fell into the water with a sword, and he must not travel far, but there were so many people at that time, but one of them found him, according to me, I am afraid that he was dead at that time, and it is difficult to find the body at the bottom of the river.
If we do this, we can hide it for a while, and we can hide it for a lifetime."
Cover Yu said distraughtly: "Isn't this looking for, you have to live to see people, and die to see corpses."
Candle Yong put his hands on his knees, his eyes were blazing, and he approached him and said, "Big brother, don't you think, this is a good opportunity for you?"
Cover Yu's heart jumped, avoiding his gaze and said, "What chance?"
Candle Yong's eyes burned and said: "Big brother, this is the will of heaven, Qingji is dead, qualified to inherit the throne, besides you, is there a second person Now that the husband is dead, look at the Wu country, who is still our opponent, you see, that Gusu is already a lonely city, isolated and helpless, as long as it is defeated, the entire Wu country will be unified, you don't want such a good opportunity, when will you wait?"
Gongzi covered his cheeks and twitched, and said in a condensed voice: "Hugh is talking nonsense, at that time, tens of thousands of soldiers made fishing nets to fish all over that water, but all the fish that were bigger than a slap did not leave a single one, but he was never found, he was seriously injured, but because of this, he couldn't find him, doesn't this just mean that he is not dead?"
Candle Yong said: "So what, now we are fighting with our husbands, how can there be no handsome in the army, how can there be no king in the country, as long as you ascend the throne as king, even if he comes back alive one day, at that time you have conquered Gusu and unified the Wu country, and he still has the face to let your uncle give way to him" Cover Yu turned his head sharply and said in a deep voice: "I just didn't hear these words, don't let me hear it from your mouth again." ” Candle Yong hurriedly said: "Big brother, what are you afraid of, these armies are indeed brought out by Qingji, but they don't want to be glorious and rich, and now the victory is imminent, and Qingji has just disappeared, if you are king, I dare to guarantee the vote, even if they are not very happy, they will never object." ” Cover up and get up, and said angrily: "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will get out of here" "Big brother" Candle Yong was so anxious that he grabbed his shirt.
Cover Yu's eyes sharpened, looked at Candle Yong viciously, looked down at him and said: "Candle Yong, whether you are the king or the king, you are the unspeakably noble prince of Wu Guo, what is the difference between you and you are so deliberately calling me the king, what is your intention, you also have to follow Ji Guang and do that unrighteous deed."
Covering Yu approaching step by step, Candle Yong retreated again and again on the seat, Cover Yu's heart-wrenching words made Candle Yong's forehead sweat burst out, he took a few steps back, turned over and bowed to the ground, kowtowed heavily: "Big brother said so, but he unjustly killed his brother."
You are my brother, Qingji is my nephew, and when he is king, although I will not accept him, I will not oppose him.
But now that there is such an opportunity, of course the brother hopes that his eldest brother will be the king, and the brother knows that his prestige is not enough, and he is reckless, and he is not the material to be a king.
If my brother agrees, I am willing to persuade the generals in the army to support my eldest brother, not to mention, my brother and the defenders of Wuyuan are loyal to me, and I can also help my brother.
Cover Yu paused, his face gradually faded, Candle Yong glanced at him secretly, and did not dare to get up.
Cover Yu took a few steps back and slowly sat back on the seat, his eyes moving slightly, and his mind was already deep in thought.
The difference between the king and the prince is one step, but there is a world of difference.
That's the difference between the king and the minister, it's the difference between heaven and earth, if there is a chance, who wouldn't be moved by Qingji's life and death now, even if he is not dead, it seems that he won't rush back for a while, Candle Yong has Wuyuan people in his hands, and he has also incorporated a lot of people and horses who originally belonged to Helu, plus Chi Zhong is a new person attached to Qingji, and it is easy to fight.
Like Sun Wu, Jing Lin, Liang Huzi, Yingtao, and Ah Qiu's brothers, although they are loyal to Qingji, but everyone has selfish intentions, they don't believe that they don't think about their own wealth, and they are not murdering Qingji and usurping the throne to stand on their own, but a last resort.
Now it is only said that Qingji is seriously injured, but it is not said that his life and death are uncertain, the people in the army are already panicking, and they can stabilize the hearts of the people by choosing the new monarch as soon as possible, under this banner, even if they are unwilling, they will never rebel, if they really claim the king Thinking of this, Bao Yu's heart couldn't help but pound, his blood surged, and he felt a little dizzy when he drank too much wine.
He froze down, and suddenly thought of Sun Wu's recent actions, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Qingji's army did not have to worry that Fucha would abandon the city and flee, so it did not adopt a siege strategy, and the army was assembled in front of the gate.
The barracks are six points, the platoon is a plum blossom formation, and the five battalions are like stars and moons guarding the Chinese army.
But now Sun Wu is in charge of the Chinese army, Liang Huzi is on his left flank, Jing Lin is on his right flank, and Zhu Yong's men and horses are on the right side of Jing Lin, close to the lake.
And his own battalion is on the left of Liang Huzi, and on his outside, it is Ren's army.
The six large camps were lined up, and the two battalions of himself and Candle Yong were isolated, and he didn't feel anything at first, but when he had selfishness, he suddenly realized that something was different.
Sun Wu, what is he guarding against?
"Big brother, big brother" Candle Yong couldn't help but whisper when he saw that his face was cloudy and contemplative for a long time.
His light call was like a thunderbolt, and he was so shocked that he suddenly remembered what Qingji once said: "I won't tell you anything, I was hit by a blow on the river, and the sharp halberd penetrated the heart, and it was really difficult to survive with such a serious injury."
At that time, I felt myself floating in the air, and I also saw Jing Lin and Liang Huzi hugging me and crying, trying to set fire to the boat.
Then, a channel of light appeared in front of me, a white dazzling bright light, and my whole being was sucked in, and I saw a world completely different from today's, where the gods of the heavenly realm lived."
"Big brother, have you decided?"
Cover Yu shuddered violently, and his heart was a little chilling.
"I decided" When Candle Yong heard this, he immediately got up, but he had already turned his head, stared at him deadly, and said coldly: "Candle Yong, you have heard me clearly, I, Wang Qingji, am recuperating from my injuries in the Chinese army."
As soon as the king recovered from his injuries, the six armies went together to capture Gusu and pacify the country of Wu. ” Candle Yong was stunned for a moment, and said word by word: "I can't tell the news of the king's death, and I can't have delusions."

Candle Yong, you stay in this camp in peace, don't mess with right and wrong, otherwise you won't blame and cover up your brother, brother, and love."
