Chapter 369 Story
Seeing that the beauty had the idea of committing suicide, Yunyao showed up to talk to the other party, but found that the other party was staring at him blankly. Yunyao immediately realized that the other party might not understand the elegant language, so she said slowly word by word: "Can you understand what I said?"
Only then did Zheng Dan realize that he was rude and was actually out of tune because of the other party's beauty, so he neglected the other party. He quickly bowed and said, "I can understand, but my elegant words are not fluent."
It does have a strong southern accent, which sounds soft and sweet.
"It turns out that it will be convenient to understand Yayan. My name is Yunyao."
Zheng Dan replied, "I am Zheng Dan, are you from Qi?" Something happened the second year after Confucius returned to Lu. The Tian family of Qi killed Duke Dao of Qi. At that time, Confucius wanted Duke Ai of Lu to send troops to attack Qi. However, Duke Ai of Lu was not a sucker, and he knew very well that Lu was not a rival to Qi at all.
But the State of Lu did not fight, but the State of Wu went north to fight and captured many beautiful women.
Yunyao has a Qilu accent, so Zheng Dan suspected that Yunyao was from Qi.
"I am from Lu." Yun Yao said.
"Why are the people of Lu here?" According to Zheng Dan's understanding, the concubines of King Fuchai of Wu were all from Qi, Chu, and Yue. They were all captured or offered after being defeated by Wu, and there were no talents in Lu.
"I came in secret." Yunyao said with a smile.
The woman in front of me was very mysterious, and Zheng Dan could not see through the other party at all. However, she didn't think the palace was good. She sighed: "Those men gave their women to protect themselves for their own safety. Although I was willing to do it for the Kingdom of Yue, I could not bear the darkness in the palace in the end. This is the place where Wu Kingdom has the greatest power, but also the darkest place in Wu Kingdom. Brothers and feet are tragic and deceitful. If I could choose again, I would rather die in my hometown."
Obviously she was hit hard.
It was like Confucius saw the destruction of rituals and music, so he shouted to regain the rituals. This woman saw the darkness in the palace and the sentient beings distorted by power, so she developed deep disgust and even world-weariness.
"So you want to jump into the lake?" Yunyao asked.
Zheng Dan did not answer. She really wanted to jump into the lake because only in this way can she escape from the darkness. She tried to fight, but power was an opponent she could not defeat. Not to mention that Zheng Dan was just a mere woman, so what if all the schools of thought were, she had not been able to overthrow power?
Regarding power, everyone in the palace is showing their ugly appearance. So what if they are childhood sweethearts? They are not turning against each other, so how about they become enemies.
"Anyway, I'm going to jump off the lake. I have wine here. If you have a story, you might as well tell me the story. It's not too late to jump after that. Drink some wine to warm your body, so you won't be too cold to climb up ashore after jumping down later." Yun Yao's words were so annoying and very destructive.
However, Zheng Dan laughed. It took a long time since no one talked to her so straightforwardly. Her tone became much more cheerful. She said, "I believe you came in from outside now, because only people outside speak so directly, and they will not be circling around and make people guess." "Do you really have wine?"
Yunyao took out the wine from her waist and wind bag: "Yes."
"Then I will tell you my story."
"Let's go, go to the library." It was cold outdoors, but it was still warm inside, and I drank and chatted.
Zheng Dan opened the conversation and told Yunyao that she was originally from Yue. He said: "Wu attacked Yue, and Yue was defeated. King Fuchai of Wu was in a banner of revenge for his father's death. Wu was united and invincible. King Goujian of Yue could only escape into the mountains and propose negotiations. In the end, he paid a lot of treasures and beautiful talents to stop Fuchai from destroying Yue. I was the palace he entered at that time. And with me, Xi Shi, who grew up with me, and six other women from Yue, entered the palace and were played with by King Fuchai of Wu, and lost all his dignity..."
Yun Yao listened quietly, men were defeated and talked with beauty, which was common in feudal history. However, she felt that Zheng Dan's suicide was definitely not just because of entering the palace, because she could see that she was also a patriotic woman. If she compromised, she could protect Yueguo. It was nothing to suffer a little grievance, but it was obvious that the development of the situation was not just as simple as being wronged.
With Zheng Dan's story, Yun Yao realized that what made her really desperate was the boat of friendship capsized. Zheng Dan and Xi Shi were inseparable friends. They grew up together and were called "two beautiful women in the sash". Not being a real sister is better than a real sister.
Zheng Dan has always protected Xi Shi's elder sister, but after entering the palace, Xi Shi changed. She was also fascinated by power. In order to monopolize the King of Wu, she did not even let go of the Yue compatriots who entered the palace together and kept suppressing them, and Zheng Dan was also among them.
Xi Shi changed, became cruel, became evil, and was conquered by the authority named King of Wu. Zheng Dan wanted to persuade him, but was driven out by Xi Shi, and then he was disheartened.
A pot of fine wine has finished, and Zheng Dan’s eyes are swaying in tears. When he talks about the sadness, tears rolling down his face as smooth as duck eggs. It is the hearing that the listener is sad and the listener is crying.
Yunyao did not expect that Xi Shi, the four beauties, would be a palace fighting master, and would exclude dissidents in order to monopolize favors, and even let good sisters go.
The boat of friendship really can be overturned at any time.
"No wonder you can't think it through." Yunyao understood.
"What about you, why did you enter the palace? You don't want to recommend yourself, right? Your beauty is indeed outstanding, maybe you can be more favored than Xi Shi." "But let it go after my advice. This is a place that will make people evil." Zheng Dan gave Yunyao a suggestion very seriously.
"I never said that I was here to seduce King Fuchai of Wu. Wu has been lucky for a few years, so I am not stupid." Yunyao said that she would not do such things as joining the National Army in 1949. Besides, she had no interest in becoming a concubine, and she could still consider becoming the King of Wu.
"??" I heard Yunyao meant that Wu Kingdom was going to be finished? Zheng Dan couldn't help asking, "You can tell fortunes?"
"That's right, in short, the Wu Kingdom has not been a few years old, so don't seek death. I happened to find a translator who is proficient in Yayan and Wu language to translate Wu Kingdom's poetry. Why don't you come and forget it for me?" Yunyao invited the other party to be a poetry translator.
"Translation of poetry? Isn't this the job of an official?" Zheng Dan was becoming increasingly unable to understand Yun Yao. How could a woman have a need for translation? And how could a woman enter the palace from outside? Not to mention that she could tell the judgment that Wu Kingdom's fate is not long. Zheng Dan finally couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
"I am a god." Yunyao smiled harmlessly.
Zheng Dan didn't know what to say, obviously she was keeping suspicious.
"Don't you believe it?" Yun Yao waved his hand, and all the bamboo slips around him flew up. Facts are better than words. Yun Yao is really a god. Anyway, the other party works for him in the future, so there is no need to hide such things.
Zheng Dan believed it and immediately knelt down: "Please ask the gods to save Xi Shi." She was not pleading for herself, but hoped to save her best friend from the fire and water.
If you are a god, you can definitely ward off evil and keep good, and you can also show kindness to the West.
Yunyao thought to himself that the other party regarded the gods as immortals. Gods do not have the ability to clear the evils of the world. If so, the world would have become Taoyuan Township long ago and would not have waited until now.
However, in view of Zheng Dan's importance on friendship and friendship, Yun Yao would help: "Okay, after nightfall, we will go and meet Xi Shi."
