Seeing that the two envoys finally showed their true colors, Zhuangzi pulled his face black on the spot. Bayi Chinese ≈.

"Are you here to hire me to go to Chu as a minister? You are murder in disguise! Zhuangzi shouted softly.

"Murder in disguise?"

"What are we?"

When the two envoys saw that Zhuangzi said that he would turn his face, he turned his face, and he was immediately puzzled.

"I have sworn in front of the king of the Song Kingdom that I will never be an official or leave the Song Kingdom! Aren't you guys? If the king of the Song State knew that I would go to your Chu State as the prime minister and support the Chu State to attack our Song State, would it be strange if the king of the Song State didn't kill me? It's not just about killing me, is it? And my whole family! You? You guys? Let's go! Let's go! ”

After Zhuangzi finished speaking, he no longer bothered with the two.

Seeing this, the two envoys hurriedly explained: "We're not? Deliberately dressed up as a businessman to do business with you? Isn't it? The king of the Song Kingdom would not know about this! ”

"Yes! By the time they found out, we had already left the Song Kingdom and arrived at the Chu Kingdom. Once he arrives in the territory of Chu State, he Song Kuicheng wants to do whatever he wants, and there is no way to take us. ”

"Don't worry! We have everything arranged, and when we get to the border, we can go through the checkpoints set up by the Chu State, and the Song people have no way to take us. ”

Between vassal states, not every country has set up checkpoints everywhere. There are many places where the other country has set up checkpoints, but the home country does not set up checkpoints. So! At the junction of the Song State and the Chu State, there are checkpoints of the Chu State but no checkpoints of the Song State.

Of course! There are checkpoints set up there, which must be convenient for the locals. Anything that is beneficial to the country will be allowed, and anything that is unfavorable to the country will be prohibited.

Only certain important levels are double levels, and both sides set up the levels in the appropriate places.

"You've been here for so long, why didn't you say it earlier? You guys? Are you not trying to frame me? ”

Zhuangzi complained: "The king of the Song Kingdom will definitely send someone to spy on me, just because he is afraid that I will break my oath and run away!" You guys? You've been here for so long, I'm afraid they've already found out who you are! You guys? Are you framing me? ”

Zhuangzi said, tearing open the cooked fish, and then waking Yang Hu up.

Yang Hu was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey in front of his father, so he had to rub his eyes and get up.

"Son! Do you smell the scent? Do you want to eat grilled fish? ”

Yang Hu sniffed his little nose, and really smelled the fragrance, nodded and said, "Eat!" ”

"Then wash your hands, wash your face, and eat fish!"

Zhuangzi took his son Yang Hu into the river, washed the muddy water off his hands and face, and then brought him back to eat grilled fish.

Since all the fish he caught were small fish, Zhuangzi tore all the places without fish bones for his son to eat, and he enjoyed the rest of the head and tail for himself.

"Let's go! Don't frame me! I will not come to your Chu State to be an official, and I will not leave the Song State. Let's go! Let's go! ”

After speaking, he ignored the two envoys, and one of them took the head and tail of the fish and ate it.

Yang Hu was full, and then lay on his father's lap, first looking at the two envoys, and then! Probably too tired and asleep again.

The two envoys still ate a bowl of vegetable paste at Zhuangzi's house in the morning, and their stomachs were already hungry. Originally! They want to eat less in the morning and eat more when there is wine and food at noon. Outcome! This is what happened. Seeing Zhuangzi nibbling on the incense of the fish head and tail, the two of them drooled.

"We? We're going back like this, and we can't give an account to the king, right? We? ”

The two were embarrassed to say: We have all the dowry, we will leave like this, can we go back to the king? We?

"That's not the reason for that!"

"Why isn't that a reason?"

"You said you swore in front of Song Quecheng, it doesn't matter? We've got everything ready! We guarantee the safety of your whole family......"

"The point is! My family may be in danger now, and Song Kuicheng has sent someone to my house. Zhuangzi interrupted.

"This? This? This? That's impossible! ”

"Anything is possible!"

After Zhuangzi ate the head and tail of the fish, threw the fish bones to the ground, held his son Yang Hu in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, went to the river again, and went fishing.

"That's not a reason! Zhuangzi! Tell me about it! Why don't you go to Chu as a prime minister? Our king is here to invite you sincerely! ”

"Yes! That's not a reason! ”

The two envoys rushed to the river again and asked questions.

Zhuangzi looked at the fishing talisman on the surface of the river and replied, "What do you say? That's not a reason, so what is a reason? ”

An envoy was anxious and said, "Our king has brought us a lot of money, and he really hired you to be the prime minister of Chu." ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! When we came, we had already delivered a large amount of money to your house. It's true! ”

Zhuangzi said quietly: "Is your king really here to hire me as the prime minister of Chu? ”

"Hmm!"

"Yes!"

"That? Why didn't you say it earlier? Why wait until today? ”

"We?"

"We?"

"Isn't it that the heavy money hasn't been sent yet?" Zhuangzi asked.

"Yes!"

"It's not! No! ”

The two envoys gave different answers.

But! No matter what the two envoys answered, Zhuangzi had something to refute them.

"Yes! Or is it not? ”

Under Zhuangzi's questioning, the two envoys had to tell the truth.

"When we came, we brought a lot of money, and a letter from the king!"

"Then why did you say it today?" Zhuangzi pulled his face down again and asked.

"We?"

"We?"

Zhuangzi didn't wait for the two of them to stand up, and said, "Did your king order you?" Want to test me? If I don't have real talent and real learning, I don't need to pay this heavy money, and you will leave with a lot of money? Isn't it? ”

"No, no, no!"

"No, no, no!"

The two envoys waved their hands one after another.

"What's that? These days! You're interrogating me? Get lost! Get lost! Zhuangzi turned his face when he said that he would turn his face and shouted at the two of them.

"This, this, this?"

"We? We? We were wrong! That's not what the king meant! That's what we mean! We were wrong! ”

Seeing that the two envoys were embarrassed and afraid that they would not be able to pay the errand and be punished if they went back, Zhuangzi changed his tone again and said slowly: "You can take back the heavy money sent to my house!" I will not leave the Song State, I will not go to the Chu State to be an official, and I don't want your heavy money. Thank you, King! Let's go back! Let's go back! ”

When the two envoys saw that Zhuangzi had said this, they quickly knelt down in front of them and begged: "The heavy money we sent out will not be returned!" This is a gift from the king. But we really can't deal with the king when we go back? We? ”

Zhuangzi pointed to a turtle crawling in the mud on the bank of the river beach with his hand and said, "I heard that there is a divine turtle on the altar of your Chu State, and it has lived for three thousand years when it was killed. The king of Chu carried it in a bamboo box, covered it with brocade silk, and usually treasured it in the ancestral hall for worship.

I ask you: Is this turtle willing to die in order to show its dignity by leaving its bones? Or would you rather live in muddy water dragging your tail? ”

The two ministers said: "I'd rather live in muddy water with my tail in tow." ”

Zhuangzi pointed to the turtle on the river beach and said, "Let's go!" I would like to be like that turtle, dragging my tail and living freely in muddy water. ”
