Sure enough, Ah Zhi came to look for Xi Shi on the second night, when Xi Shi saw her, she was filled with grief and indignation, and raised her hand to slap Ah Zhi across the face.
A Zhi looked at Xi Shi suspiciously, slowly raised his hand, and rubbed his face.
"Why do you help the Qi army, why don't you come sooner or later, you have to come yesterday, huh?"
Azhi licked his lips, not knowing how to answer.
Xi Shi gasped for a few breaths, covered her heart and sat down on the chair, tears falling down uncontrollably.
"You killed Zheng Dan, you killed her. I don't want to see you again, don't come to me again!"
Azhi said: "I heard that the king of Wu is going to execute Zheng Dan. I wanted to help you complete the great cause of crossing as soon as possible... The only mistake is that I came at a bad time..."
Xi Shi shook her head desperately: "You are right... I was wrong, you go, go back to the mountains, don't bother me anymore, you can't care about my business."
"I'm not happy to see you..."
Xi Shi suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'm happy now, aren't I? Thanks to you! Thank you, my great benefactor!"
Suddenly, the pain in her heart was so severe that Xi Shi couldn't help but bent down, frowning tightly, unable to say a word.
"My heart hurts again, it's all my fault, I accidentally hurt you,"
Ah Zhi wanted to go over and hug Xi Shi, but Xi Shi tried her best to step aside, not even looking at her.Ah Zhi's expression dimmed for a moment, he opened his mouth and made no sound.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting the shadows of two people.
Xishi took a breath, opened her eyes and saw Azhi's shadow reflected on the tent, seemed to remember something, turned around in a hurry, and pulled her into a corner.
Azhi smiled miserably: "Yiguang, you still care about me and don't want me to be found out, do you?"
Xi Shi said lightly: "I just don't want to be implicated by you. Isn't it enough that you have caused us trouble? Now that you have lost your homeless life, what do you want? Do you want me? What do you want? Or do you want me? Money? Take it all, take it all..."
A Zhi looked at Xi Shi steadily, as if he didn't know her, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said leisurely:
"In that case, I'm leaving, take care."
Then he lifted the hem of his clothes and walked away.
Xi Shi closed her eyes, tasting her salty tears.Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi, if you had come one day late, or one day earlier, things would not have been like this... But the destiny played tricks, although you did not kill Zheng Dan, but she died because of you, how can I accept it calmly !Without you, without you...
Without her...
Xi Shi couldn't think about it anymore, with mixed feelings, she burst into tears.
But suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, and someone in the distance shouted, "The assassin has been caught!" Xi Shi was startled, wiped her tears in a hurry and ran out of the tent, only to see a bright light outside Fucha's tent, a group of soldiers escorting a five-flowered man The thin figure is walking towards the tent.
Xishi walked quickly, and happened to meet Zheng Dan in the middle of the walk. Seeing that both of them looked dignified, they gave each other a wink, and walked into Fuchai's tent without saying a word.
Ah Zhi knelt there, looking at Fu Chai with a defiant expression, as if he didn't care about the swords and swords on both sides.
Seeing this look, Fu Chai felt annoyed, and asked under pressure:
"What's your name?"
"Azhi." She replied softly.
"In the beginning, it was Empress Xigong, and later she was employed by the State of Wu to use tricks against the State of Lu, and now she is helping the State of Qi. What is your origin!"
Azhi was silent.
Fu Chai slapped the table: "If you don't speak, the widow won't know? I know you dead men carry poison with you, and you would rather die than open your mouth. Come, search for me!"
A group of soldiers began to attack Azhi, and Xi Shi frowned unknowingly when she saw that Azhi was not dodging.
But nothing was found except a twig pinned to his waist and a purse.
Fu Chai couldn't help wondering, isn't she some kind of assassin?So asked:
"Based on your martial arts, you came here today, and you are clearly caught without a fight. What is your plan? Is there a reason for Zheng Dan that you sacrificed your life to save him?"
Ah Zhi smiled and said: "I just lost my head today. I tried to take your life in a delusional way. I mistook you Wu Guojun for a fool. Who is Zheng Dan? There are so many people in the world, how can I know everyone. "
Fucha asked Zheng Dan to stand in front of Ah Zhi and asked:
"You don't recognize this person?"
Ah Zhi looked carefully for a while, then said:
"If you say you don't recognize her, that's nonsense. I was entrusted by the empress of the West Palace that day, and it seems that this female general was the one who pretended to kill me. But it was dark that day, so it's hard to guarantee that I didn't see clearly."
Fu Chai was angry: "You tell the truth! If you don't tell the truth, I will kill her!"
Ah Zhi smiled and said, "You kill as soon as you kill, what does it have to do with me?"
Fu Chai smoked, and said fiercely: "You'd better tell the truth now, otherwise you will be punished severely at that time, and you have to say it if you don't say it. Don't toast or eat fine wine!"
Azhi showed a smile, which seemed lonely and hopeless.When Xi Shi saw this smile, her heart suddenly seemed to be squeezed hard, and she squatted down with a muffled groan.Zheng Dan and the sergeants beside him rushed forward to support her, but Xi Shi was staring at the sky, not knowing whether she was standing or lying down, or where she was, and only the lingering thoughts remained in her mind. Smiles kept frightening her heart one after another.
Seeing this, Azhi's eyes flashed a trace of unknown concern, but he resisted not looking back, closed his eyes and pricked up his ears, listening carefully.She heard a group of people going out with disordered footsteps, and came back in order after a while, knowing that Xi Shi should be fine, she couldn't help smiling.
Fu Chai asked for a long time, but Ah Zhi either didn't answer or just laughed. Fu Chai was worried about Xi Shi's safety, so he couldn't bear to fight her, so he called someone and whispered something in his ear.
The man bowed his hands and went out, but a moment later the general doctor brought in. The military doctor took out a pack of medicines, explained something to Fu Chai in a low voice, and then left again.The husband sent someone to bring Zheng Dan back to her tent, put her under house arrest, then waved his hand and said:
"Take this assassin to the execution room, don't let go, I will interrogate myself tomorrow!"
Azhi was dragged to the torture room, and got a meal of food and wine that didn't look very tasty.Because she couldn't be untied, the jailer swears at her and feeds her bite by bite. Ah Zhi has something on her mind, so she eats silently, but she doesn't know what it tastes like. She doesn't feel that something is right until she eats all the prison food.
For some reason, suddenly heavy drowsiness hit, Azhi shook her head, but became more and more tired, her hands and feet were limp, unable to think of anything, she struggled in vain for a long time, but still fell down and fell into a deep sleep past.
Not long after, Fu Chai led the military doctor into the execution room, and seeing that Azhi was already unconscious, he gave the military doctor a wink.The military doctor cautiously approached Ah Zhi, sounded his pulse, then rolled his eyelids to look, and nodded to his husband.Fu Chai ordered someone to untie A Zhi, and then tied her to a cross-shaped frame, with her arms spread out and suspended in the air.Even if Ah Zhi was in a coma, Fu Chai still didn't dare to be careless, and wrapped several circles of hemp rope around her wrists and waist, so that her clothes could not be seen from her wrists to her elbows, and the rope around her waist was five or six inches wide. .
After confirming that she was unable to fly, Fu Chai heaved a sigh of relief, yawned, and ordered a dozen people to surround the torture room before walking back to his tent.
Zheng Dan blew out the candle, but sat on the bed blankly, listening to the footsteps outside the tent from time to time, frowning.Why did Ah Zhi suddenly throw himself into the trap?Is it to save her?What about her own life, don't you want it?There are such stupid women in the world!
At the same time, he couldn't help worrying, looking at it like this, Fu Chai would definitely not let A Zhi go, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot.Zheng Dan was most afraid that Ah Zhi would not be able to be tortured, so he brought out the truth. If he did, Fu Chai would follow her and Xi Shi, even Fan Li, and even Goujian.At that time, these arrangements of the Yue Kingdom will be destroyed.
She has to do everything possible to rescue Azhi, but now even she is under house arrest, and even going out is a big problem, so she can only rely on Xi Shi.I don't know what's going on with Xi Shi now, or whether she knows how serious the situation is now.
Early the next morning, Xi Shi woke up faintly, opened her eyes and saw Fu Chai sitting by the bed, holding her hand, and asked dotingly:
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Xi Shi suddenly felt a little disgusted seeing this face, but she looked at it carefully, but there was nothing unusual, so she nodded her head in agreement.Suddenly she turned her head to look at Fu Chai, opened her mouth, but said nothing.She wanted to ask where Azhi was, but couldn't open her mouth.
Seeing Xi Shi's terrified and anxious look, Fu Chai thought that she hadn't recovered from the shock last night, so he patted her on the shoulder and said:
"Yi Guang, don't worry, I've already arrested the assassin, and I'll kill Ji Qi after I find out the truth."
Xishi thought to herself, if the matter was really found out, it might not be Azhi who was killed to sacrifice the flag, but if it was her and Zheng Dan, she hurriedly smiled falsely and said:
"That girl... where is she now? Is it safe? Will she run out suddenly?"
Fu Chai said: "Don't worry, I ordered a set of potions from the military doctor to make her whole body weak. She should still be in a coma, but the dream is not long, and I'm going to interrogate her."
Xi Shi said: "Your Majesty, there is no rush for the interrogation, the most important thing right now is to capture the city..."
Fu Chai shook his head: "Internal troubles and foreign troubles, if we don't solve the internal troubles, how can we resist foreign enemies?"
"Your Majesty suspects that there are spies in the army?"
"That's right. I've already guessed seven or eight points about this spy, but there is no evidence. As long as the female assassin speaks, I can convict him."
Xi Shi was silent, it seemed that Fu Chai didn't doubt himself.She opened her mouth to test:
"Where is the homeless sister, why didn't she come?"
"She is in the tent, and she will not be allowed to come out for the time being."
Xi Shi was anxious: "Could it be that you suspect the homeless sister?"
Fu Chai shook his head: "I just suspected that she had an old relationship with the assassin, but I never suspected that she was a spy. She is a person who values love and righteousness. If she really has an old relationship with the assassin, she will go all out to rescue her. , it will be difficult for me to do it—that's why I wronged her for a while."
Xishi said kindly, and suddenly her mind was heavy. Since it wasn't Zheng Dan that Fu Chai suspected, who was it?Are there spies besides them in the army? "
What she didn't know was that it wasn't someone else that Fu Chai suspected, but a general under Wu Zixu.This man has been with Wu Zixu for a long time, and he was extremely passive in this battle. The most important thing is that he once ran to the city of Qi State at night and came back before dawn, his behavior was very suspicious.
Fu Chai and Xi Shi had breakfast, and went to interrogate the assassin. Xi Shi hurriedly dressed and said:
"The courtiers are going too."
Fu Chai frowned: "What are you going to do? You're bleeding, don't be shocked anymore, your heart hurts again."
Xi Shi shook her head: "Don't worry, I just want to help the king. I'm afraid that such a well-trained assassin will not be able to force it. If you and I act both soft and hard, maybe it will be more effective."
Fu Chai thought for a while and agreed, but he didn't think that Xi Shi could be useful, but he couldn't refuse, and thought that it would be good to ask her to see it, as long as he saw the world.
