Origin Story
春秋时期，伍子胥因劝阻太子建不成，为躲避追捕，带着太子建的儿子逃往吴国。途中，官兵四处搜捕，情况十分危急。他们遇到神医扁鹊的弟子东皋公，东皋公为他们出谋划策，让皇甫讷扮成伍子胥，成功蒙混过关，最终到达吴国，躲过了追捕。
During the Spring and Autumn period, Wu Zixu, after failing to dissuade Prince Jian, fled to Wu with Prince Jian's son to escape capture. Along the way, officers and soldiers searched everywhere, and the situation was very critical. They met Dong Gaogong, a disciple of the famous physician Bian Que. Dong Gaogong devised a plan for them, allowing Huangfu Ne to impersonate Wu Zixu, successfully deceiving their way through and eventually reaching Wu, evading pursuit.
