Although Wu She was seriously injured, she stood proudly and said without being humble or arrogant:
"I think the King of Wu should know better than anyone whether the Yue Kingdom is a serious threat to the Wu Kingdom and whether it is nothing to worry about!"
Yu Ji still said proudly:
"Haha, even though your Chu State is on good terms with the Yue barbarians, don't you think that just a small country like them can shake our Wu State? Why should I be afraid of it?"
"Even so, if the King of Wu insists on killing the King of Chu, the four princes will definitely raise an army to avenge the King of Chu. At that time, the Yue Kingdom will be waiting for the opportunity, and even the likes of Qi and Lu will probably want a share of the pie. Until then, how should King Wu deal with himself?"
When King Wu Yuji heard this, the arrogance on his face instantly faded a lot.
Because he looked at the problem from a different angle, what Wu She said was like an enlightenment.
Indeed, although he and Prince Qiji are temporarily accomplices, how can there be an eternal friendship between Wu and Chu? It’s even more ridiculous to talk about people like Wang Ziqiji. After this person comes to power, it is not ruled out that he will inherit his will and continue to raise troops to attack Wu.
To put it bluntly, even if Wang Ziqiji himself had no intention of attacking Wu, there was no guarantee that others, especially Xiong Wei's buddies, would surround him and do so.
After all, there was a blood feud between Wu and Chu. When the prince abandons his illness, he raises troops to attack them. This is the "political correctness" of Chu State.
In addition, the states of Lu and Song in the north are by no means easy to deal with. If Chu dies, won't he be the next one to fall on his head? If you say so, Wu State will indeed be unable to hold it back.
Yu Ji stared at Wu She for a while, then sneered again:
"Wu She, hum, you really do have a sharp tongue. It is indeed admirable, but there is one thing you may not know, and that is that your fourth prince will never send troops to save him! You’d better give up on this idea as soon as possible!”
Wu She was so smart, but it seemed a little wrong to hear this. Why was King Wu Yuji so sure from the beginning that Prince Qiji would not come to his aid?
"Is it possible that... Prince Qiji really covets the position of King of Chu and actually colludes with Wu Guokang?"
Seeing that Wu She stopped talking, Young Master Guang struck at the side and said:
"Wu She, I really admire your courage, but what you are doing is like using a mantis' arm as a chariot! Come on, pull this man down and show his head to the public as a sacrifice to our flag!"
Obviously, Young Master Guang wants to take this opportunity to avenge his father's murder - you kill my father, and I will kill your son!
When Wu She heard this, she was still neither scared nor frightened. She could not help but raise her head and laugh:
"Hahaha, even during this trip today, I never thought that I would be able to leave alive. A thousand years from now, I will definitely leave my name in history! And the demise of the Wu Kingdom will definitely begin here!"
"Hmph! You are a crazy person, you are an alarmist!"
Yuji couldn't help but yelled angrily after hearing this.
"You are all shallow-minded people, how can you see through the mystery? No matter what the reason is, if Prince Qiji succeeds to the throne, he must win over people's hearts! And in order to pass on his contradictions, he must also take revenge! Chu If Wu is strong and Wu is weak, then Wu will face three enemies. Is it possible that the king still wants to hide in the female celestial body? Will he stay in the same boat for the rest of his life? "
If it is true as Wu She said, then the Wu people may have had no choice but to hide at sea.
"Even if the war between the two countries is extremely fierce, there will always be room for recovery. But if you capture and kill the king of Chu, our Chu country is a country of ten thousand chariots after all. How can we surrender to you?"
At this time, two Wu soldiers had already entered the tent, and they were about to drag Wu She out of the tent, but Wu She still did not stop talking.
"As an envoy, killing the envoy will only arouse the resistance of our Chu people. Eight thousand people are not something you can easily eat! When the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy," Guan Zhong said , writing on the left and resting on the right, and doing the opposite will be abandoned by heaven!"
At this time, the two soldiers had already restrained Wu She, and Yu Ji shouted:
"Wait!"
"Your Majesty?"
"And let it go..."
King Wu Yuji spoke, but the two soldiers had to stop. Young Master Guang was inconvenient to say anything and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
After that, he stopped making any sound.
"You guys go down first!"
"Here!"
The two soldiers exited the camp. Yu Ji stroked his beard and thought about Wu She's words. After thinking about it, he finally said:
"Wu She, if you want to live, it's not impossible, but I need you to do one thing!"
"Hmph! If you want to kill, then kill! Don't be afraid of death!"
"Haha, living is always better than dying. If you can live, why do you have to fight to the death? I need you to surrender and express your intention to the Chu army."
Wu She couldn't help but sneered when he heard this:
"Hmph! She will never surrender! King Wu should kill me!"
"Haha, the two countries are at war. If you don't kill the envoy, you are the envoy. Killing you would be unjust! The words of "Writing left and right, doing the opposite" are really deafening! Wu She, I am giving you a chance to live. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to take you back to the Kingdom of Wu! "
Wu She squinted her eyes, narrowing her eyes:
"Strongness cannot capture his ambition, nor can his thoughts confuse his mind. How can the King of Wu's threatening words scare Wu?"
Young Master Guang said angrily:
"Okay! If that's the case, I'll let you do it. I don't believe you are really not afraid of death!"
"If people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?"
Wu She's lack of restraint made Young Master Guang feel ashamed for a while.
"Come here! Put him in a prison tent. No one is allowed to talk to him. Violation will be punished by military law!"
Yuji had no choice but to lock him up temporarily. After he was captured, he rarely killed anyone. Because the State of Wu itself prides itself on being an authentic "state with the surname Ji", it always has to talk about "righteousness" to show its magnanimity and high integrity.
And this also brought great hidden dangers to himself. It was precisely for this reason that he eventually died at the hands of his captors. Of course, these are all things for later and will not be mentioned for the time being.
Wu She was locked up directly in a prison tent, which was reinforced with wooden bars and covered with a tent. Only a small door was left as a passage for food and drink. Two guards stood outside the tent to guard him.
Because Wu She was seriously injured and looked weak. Therefore, the guards guarding this place are also quite lax.
Wu She also saw the key to this at a glance, but he couldn't find a better opportunity for a while.
Yuji treated him politely. In addition to corn rice and soup, among the meals he received that day, there were also some pieces of mutton.
Wu She was not polite and took it to eat and drink directly. And listening to the sound of the soldiers operating weapons outside the tent, he couldn't help but feel sad. After eating, he left the chopsticks and spoons secretly, and the person passing the meal didn't pay attention.
After Wu She had eaten and drank enough, he sat quietly for a long time and quietly entered the night.
Wu She covered the wound and thought to herself:
"Yu Ji seems to have imprisoned me here intentionally. My father and the king are both in danger now. If I stay here, nothing will be achieved."
Wu She was patient and did not fall asleep. Instead, she held the bronze chopsticks and spoons in her hands. About two more hours passed, and she struggled until midnight.
Wu Shejing listened to the movement outside and noticed that the breathing of the two guards at the door was gradually calming down. He grew up in the military camp. When his father was the Right Sima, Wu She followed him, so he could describe the situation in the military camp. It's very clear.
The two guards were obviously asleep. Wu She got up quietly, went to the other end of the cell tent, and started digging with a bronze chopstick. Because there had just been a heavy rain, the land was looser, making it easier to dig.
After a while, he dug a small hole. Wu She tried to climb out, but it was not enough, so he continued to do it. During this period, I also heard the movement of the two guards, so I could only stop. When the guards opened the curtain and took a look, they found that Wu She was sleeping curled up, so they didn't come in to take a closer look.
In this case, it took Wu She another hour to dig out a passage.
Wu She quietly tried to lean out, and seeing that there were no other guards outside, she immediately climbed out.
