Chapter 291: 【Shen Shen Baoxu: Wu Wu Zixu! Do you really want to destroy Chu State!】 (4k)

~15 min read 2,901 words

A coup d'état ended like this.

Facing Prince Guang who killed the king, those armored guards didn't dare to act rashly.

After all, this is the internal affair of the royal family.

And they are just some guards, if Prince Guang settles accounts with them after ascending the throne, none of them can run away.

Wu State changed its sky overnight, which no one expected.

And Prince Guang successfully ascended to the throne.

This seemed incredible to the Blue Star netizens in the stream.

The main thing is the reaction of those armored guards.

Is it a bit too honest.

If this were placed in the later dynasties, Prince Guang would probably be hacked to death, not like now, one order made those armored guards give up.

It seems that this period of [Huaxia] ancient times is relatively simple.

Soon.

Wu Wu Zixu found Prince Guang, which is now King Helu of Wu.

Demanding him to send troops to attack Chu.

But King Helu of Wu, who had just ascended the throne, got what he wanted, and seemed not to want to make a big move to help Wu Wu Zixu attack Chu.

Finally, under Wu Wu Zixu’s hard fight.

Wu Wu Zixu agreed to King Helu of Wu’s three conditions, and King Helu of Wu helped him send troops to attack Chu.

Afterward.

King Helu of Wu began to vigorously develop the country.

Reusing Wu Wu Zixu and Sun Wu recommended by him, making Wu State gradually rise.

It took a full 9 years to prepare everything.

Send troops to attack Chu.

[506 BC, Winter]

King Helu of Wu personally led the Wu army, united with Tang and Cai allied forces, advanced west along the Huai River, defeated the Chu army with fewer troops at Boju.

The Wu army pursued the victory, won five battles in a row, attacked the Chu capital Yingdu, and King Zhao of Chu fled in a panic.

At this time.

In the scene.

The Wu army had already attacked Yingdu, the ministers of Chu State were imprisoned one after another, and Wu Wu Zixu had already brought troops to the royal mausoleum of Chu State.

Wu Wu Zixu’s white hair danced wildly, standing in front of the Chu King’s mausoleum, his whole body was almost crazy, the hatred that had been suppressed for nearly fifteen years finally broke out completely: "Dig!!!"

"Dig open the grave of this dim-witted king for me!!!"

"Dig it quickly!!!"

In the scene.

The armored

Until the coffin was revealed, dragged out by the armored soldiers with ropes, and the lid was smashed open.

A stench of decay surged into the sky.

The corpse in the coffin had long since rotted away, turning into white bones; only the robe and the gold-threaded embroidery upon it proved the identity of these remains.

And the moment he saw the corpse, Wu Wu Zixu trembled all over, roaring hoarsely: "It is him!!!"

"Lift him up for me! Lift him up!!!"

"The golden whip! The golden whip!!!"

Wu Wu Zixu trembled with excitement, snatched the golden whip handed over by an attendant, and ordered people to lift King Ping of Chu's corpse out and throw it on the ground.

Then he picked up the golden whip, rushed in front of King Ping of Chu's corpse, and struck it again and again.

Slap!

Slap!

In the dead of night, the crazed Wu Wu Zixu whipped the corpse blow after blow.

The surrounding soldiers were all terrified, and even Sun Wu in the distance looked at the crazed Wu Wu Zixu in disbelief.

He had never imagined that Wu Wu Zixu could have such a side.

He had completely lost his reason.

From late night, he whipped it until dawn.

The bones of King Ping of Chu's corpse were all smashed and scattered; all that remained were large chunks of bone fragments and the shredded robe.

In the distance.

More and more people from the Chu State gathered.

There were also many former ministers of Chu. Shen Shen Baoxu, watching from afar as Wu Wu Zixu continued to strike the already pulverized remains of King Ping of Chu, shouted angrily: "Wu Wu Zixu!!!"

"You are the descendant of a Chu minister! You have a home but no country! You are filial but disloyal!"

"You are narrow-minded and petty! You are unworthy of being a man!!!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wu Zixu suddenly raised his head, looked at his former friend Shen Shen Baoxu, and roared: "Shut up!!!"

Yet Shen Shen Baoxu would not let it go: "Wu Wu Zixu!"

"Do you really intend to destroy the Chu State!!!"

Wu Wu Zixu raised the golden whip high and shouted hoarsely: "Shen Shen Baoxu!"

"I will kill you!!!"

Wu Wu Zixu held the golden whip, about to charge at Shen Shen Baoxu.

Suddenly.

A voice of an old man sounded from the river nearby: "Man in the reeds, man in the reeds. Crossed the river, whose grace."

"On the precious sword, seven-star pattern. Returned to you, worn on the body."

"Today you are triumphant. Do you remember, the fisherman."

The fisherman's voice left Wu Wu Zixu in a trance; in his daze, he returned to the scene years ago when he was hunted by the Chu army, fleeing to the riverbank with nowhere to go and no way to enter.

It was that small boat that saved his life.

Wu Wu Zixu slowly lowered the golden whip in his hand and calmed down.

Seeing Wu Wu Zixu calm down, the fisherman did not linger, but rowed his small boat away.

Wu Wu Zixu sat down slowly, the golden whip supporting him against the ground.

Suddenly.

Wu Wu Zixu could no longer control himself and let out a heart-wrenching wail. The sound was mixed with blood and tears, making everyone who heard it weep. Wu Wu Zixu cried until his whole body trembled, his white hair disheveled.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah—!!!"

Fifteen years of hatred, over three hundred lives, yet in the end, nothing could be brought back.

This scene.

Left the Blue Star netizens in the live stream trembling in their hearts.

[Hiss—, this crying sound gave me goosebumps immediately.]

[Revenge, it has been materialized at this moment.]

[But the loved ones can never come back.]

[Wu Wu Zixu is almost insane; it's fortunate that the fisherman appeared, his voice as a savior pulled him back.]

[Wu Wu Zixu is crying for his obsession over these years.]

[Shen Shen Baoxu... sigh, he also saved Wu Wu Zixu's life back then; he was just extremely angry.]

[This is the most tragic avenger in the [Huaxia] history series, no doubt about it.]

[It feels like his spirit has dissipated; he seems to have aged twenty years in an instant.]

The bullet comments in the live stream drifted by, and just as they said, Wu Wu Zixu had survived until today solely on the obsession of revenge. Now that his great revenge was fulfilled, he seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant.

In the scene.

Wu Wu Zixu's heart-wrenching sobbing gradually grew softer, until it became fainter and fainter, and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream thought Wu Wu Zixu was going to die.

But Wu Wu Zixu was just too tired, and with his great revenge fulfilled, his spirit relaxed, and he actually slept for several days.

When he opened his eyes again, although he was still very weak.

That obsession was gone.

Not long after.

Because the Yue State launched a sneak attack from behind, the Wu State was forced to withdraw its troops from the Chu State.

Wu Wu Zixu had no more attachment to the Chu State, so he returned to the Wu State. However, the following year, King Helu of Wu wanted to retaliate because of the Yue State's backstabbing, so he attacked Yue.

But he was severely wounded during the attack on Yue and died.

His son Fuchai succeeded to the throne, determined to avenge his father.

Two years later.

The Wu army defeated the Yue army, and King Goujian of Yue retreated to Mount Kuaiji with only 5,000 remnants.

In the scene.

Wu Wu Zixu advised: "If you do not destroy Yue now, you will surely regret it later." However, under the persuasion of Bo Pi (who accepted bribes from Yue), King Fuchai of Wu agreed to Goujian's surrender and allowed him and his wife to enter Wu as slaves.

This scene.

Made the Blue Star netizens in the live stream unable to help but widen their eyes.

What the hell?

Eliminate future trouble, eliminate future trouble!

If you don't kill him now, what are you waiting for?!

However, a wave of Blue Star netizens also thought that in this situation, there was no way Goujian could take revenge; he was already a slave, what kind of revenge could he take? Assassinate the King of Wu in the Wu palace?

Wu Wu Zixu was probably overthinking it.

After all, this situation was different.

Wu Wu Zixu had escaped the Chu State to take revenge.

Goujian was a slave in the Wu palace, what could he use to take revenge?

However.

Soon, a scene made the Blue Star netizens in the live stream gasp.

Just because in the scene.

Because King Fuchai of Wu was ill, Goujian, to show his loyalty, actually tasted Fuchai's feces to demonstrate his devotion.

This scene.

Moved King Fuchai of Wu deeply.

But it made Wu Wu Zixu's hair stand on end, terrified and shocked.

For no other reason.

Wu Wu Zixu considered that everything he had endured for the sake of revenge was already unbearable for ordinary people, but now... Goujian actually tasted Fuchai's feces to show his loyalty.

What kind of endurance and humiliation was this?

If this person is not killed, he will surely become a great threat in the future.

Wu Wu Zixu advised again to kill Goujian.

But King Fuchai of Wu, who had just been deeply moved, how could he bear to kill such a loyal subject? Coupled with Bo Pi's instigation, King Fuchai of Wu became increasingly dissatisfied with Wu Wu Zixu.

Seeing this, the Blue Star netizens in the live stream felt their scalps tingle, and bullet comments drifted by:

[Holy crap! Kill him quickly! If he can even taste feces, what is there that he wouldn't do?!]

[To be fair, before when Wu Wu Zixu said to kill Goujian, I thought it was worrying about nothing, but now... damn it, kill him quickly!]

[Damn! This guy is actually moved?!]

[Outrageous, too outrageous, has it reached this point?]

[Wu Wu Zixu also came from a path of revenge; in terms of the experience of wanting revenge, who can compare to Wu Wu Zixu? So he understands the mind of such a person best, but unfortunately, Fuchai won't listen to advice.]

[Yes, as a professional in revenge, Wu Wu Zixu understood Goujian's intentions at a glance, but he didn't expect Goujian to be so ruthless.]

Goujian has gone to this extent, he must never be allowed to turn the tables, otherwise...

But looking at Fuchai's appearance, this guy really thinks Goujian is a loyal subject.

The scene continues to flow.

However, because it is the life of [Wu Wu Zixu], the focus is all on Wu Wu Zixu's side.

At this time, Wu Wu Zixu advised to kill Goujian, but Fuchai would not listen; Wu Wu Zixu advised to destroy the Yue State first and then go north to compete for hegemony with the Qi State, but Fuchai would not listen.

Fuchai, eager to dominate the Central Plains, abandoned Yue twice to attack Qi.

This led to a huge consumption of national strength without any achievements, while the Yue State was quietly recovering its strength.

And the two failures in attacking Qi gave Bo Pi another opportunity to slander Wu Wu Zixu to Fuchai: "Wu Wu Zixu opposes attacking Qi because his son is being treated well in the Qi State; he truly has a heart of rebellion!"

"Perhaps these two failures..."

"..."

In the scene.

An attendant held the Shulou sword, its cold light gleaming, reflecting Wu Wu Zixu's aged face: "Wu Wu Zixu, the King's order—you are granted the sword to end your own life!"

Wu Wu Zixu slowly raised his head, his white hair disheveled, staring at the sword in the messenger's hand, and suddenly laughed up at the sky: "I, Wu Wu Zixu, expanded the territory of the Wu State by a thousand miles, yet I am rewarded with a three-foot blade!"

"Hahaha, what a fine end for a 'loyal subject'!"

Tears flowed from Wu Wu Zixu's eyes, he laughed bleakly and helplessly, laughing and laughing, tears streaming down uncontrollably; at this moment, in this situation, it felt like a cycle.

His father, brother, and ancestors were loyal to the Chu State, yet they met the fate of having their three clans exterminated.

He, Wu Wu Zixu, was loyal to the Wu State and expanded its territory by a thousand miles, yet he met the fate of being granted a sword to end his life.

Loyal subject... loyal subject... these two words seemed like a joke.

Wu Wu Zixu took the Shulou sword, the blade against his throat, and used his last strength to roar through gritted teeth: "After I die."

"Take my eyes and hang them on the East Gate!"

"I want to see with my own eyes the Yue people break through Gusu! See Fuchai..."

"..."

"Die and his country perish!!!"

Wu Wu Zixu exerted force in his hand, a flash of sword light, and he cut his own throat and died.

Outside.

Dark clouds churned over the city of Gusu, as if a thunder dragon were roaring.

Foreshadowing something.

The scene ends here.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream were in a daze.

They never expected.

That Wu Wu Zixu would end up with such a fate.

Basically, he followed the same old path as his father and brother.

A loyal subject for a lifetime, yet still sent away by a single word from the monarch.

It is truly a bit miserable.

This life seems to have done so much, yet it also seems to have done nothing, because in the end, Wu Wu Zixu left nothing behind.

Even the Wu State...

Many Blue Star netizens in the live stream had already checked the information.

Nine years after Wu Wu Zixu died.

The Wu State was destroyed by the Yue State.

Just like nine years after King Ping of Chu died, the Wu State attacked Chu.

It was nine years in both cases.

Everything felt like a cycle.

Only Goujian, who destroyed the Wu State, did not give Fuchai a chance for revenge, because he had walked that path himself, so naturally, he would not give anyone a chance to retaliate.

Wu Wu Zixu can be considered a tragic hero.

For the sake of revenge, he assisted the Wu State, turning it from a barbarian small state into a rising hegemon, yet in the end, because the King of Wu listened to slander, he met the same fate as his father and brother.

This life full of contradictions kept the Blue Star netizens in the live stream discussing endlessly.

But what people discussed the most was still the scene where Wu Wu Zixu looked in horror at Goujian tasting feces, and then looked at Fuchai with an expression of disbelief.

It has reached this point, and you still won't kill him?

That feeling of disbelief, confusion, and the desire to kill him with one's own hands made the Blue Star netizens feel a sense of frustration.

Fang Ming watched the discussion in the live stream for a while, stretched, and while ordering takeout from [Huaxia Cuisine]

restaurant, he asked: "Brothers, is there anything else you want to continue watching?"

"Or should we play some games for a while."

"It's mealtime, I'm hungry, I have to eat first."

After watching for an afternoon, it was already evening mealtime.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream who were still watching were generally at home, so they discussed continuing to watch.

Fang Ming finished ordering takeout, then looked at the bullet comments and said: "Alright, let me see..."

"The one after Wu Wu Zixu on this ranking screenshot is... Xin Xin Qiji."

"Hmm?"

"This one is a bit familiar."

"I remember it was from the Southern Song period."

There were quite a few Blue Star netizens in the live stream who found it familiar; this one was not like the Warring States period, there was no plot version.

Many people had also played the [Song Dynasty] version.

The name Xin Xin Qiji had also been heard of, but after a round of discussion, they found that he didn't seem very famous at the time.

It was just that some plot exchanges or mentions had occurred.

What exactly Xin Xin Qiji had done, the Blue Star netizens in the live stream really couldn't remember for a moment.

But in that case, it would also save them from being spoiled.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream all asked Fang Ming to play the [Xin Xin Qiji] viewing version.

Fang Ming also immediately clicked on [Xin Xin Qiji] to prepare to take a look.
