After An Le Hou and An Ping Hou and his wife were taken to the palace, An Le Hou Mansion and An Ping Hou Mansion completely became the base camp of Gou Jian and Fan Li.

They opened up the inner courtyards of the two mansions, so that the henchmen and generals of the army in the Hundred Flowers Valley outside the city frequently entered and exited the mansion as ordinary attendants, and the plans of the officials they bought were also deployed here. At the moment, it seems that the progress of a qiē is very smooth. However, Fan Li always felt a little uneasy.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's parents are ordinary peasant families, and they only know that their daughter was recruited into the harem by her husband, and everything else behind them is kept in the dark. Even if he lives in the Hou Mansion, he only moves in the bedroom and hall, and he is not afraid of any storms.

After Zheng Dan's death, the husband summoned them to the palace, and the reason was very good. Gou Jian couldn't tear his face with his husband at this time, so he had to let them enter the palace. Although this is out of the control of Gou Jian and Fan Li, Fan Li does not think that this will lead to any changes.

Shih Tzu's loyalty to himself is unquestionable. Although Zheng Dan finally had other thoughts, she was quickly removed, and her death also separated the relationship between Xi Shi and Fucha. Although it is not very necessary, Fan Li always strives for perfection in doing things, and everything and every chess piece must play its due value. According to the information from Imperial Physician Xu and Xianglan in the palace, every step of the matter was carried out according to his arrangement. The only anomaly is that the red fruit is dead.

According to the plan, Hongguo should pretend to tell the "truth about Zheng Dan's death" and be "forced" by her husband to commit suicide by hitting the wall.

Imperial Doctor Xu gave Hongguo some materials, asked her to smear the chicken blood on the wall, cover it up with something else, and rub off the disguised thing when she hit it, and it became like she hit the wall and died. In fact, she just secretly took the medicine and fell asleep. Wu Gong transported the dead palace people to the outside of the city for disposal. After the red fruit was transported outside the city, it was enough to sneak back, and the body of a dead maid would not be pursued.

But according to the news sent back by Xianglan, after Xi Shi and Fucha had a big quarrel, Fucha was furious, and blamed Hongguo for his "nonsense", and actually pulled out his sword and stabbed Hongguo who fell to the ground.

Later, when Xianglan secretly checked, Hongguo had no snort.

Even so, Hongguo has completed his mission, although he is dead, but he does not fall into the hands of his husband, and he will not go on any errand.

Dazai Yao is still deeply favored by his husband, controlling the court, and providing countless conveniences to Gou Jian openly and secretly.

According to the message, things are going smoothly on the Wen side.

So, where does this uneasiness come from?

Fan Li thought about it again and again, but didn't think of a single omission, so he put it down.

Maybe it's just nervousness, right? After years of planning, victory is expected, and nervousness is inevitable.

As long as these dozens of days are passed, the overall situation will be decided.

Fan Li, who calmed down, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Xi Shi, expressing his grief over Zheng Dan's death and pity for their sisters.

In his pen, Xi Shi is his dream lover, and Zheng Dan is his little sister who regards him as a relative. Originally, he didn't mind leaving his husband to die after taking revenge in Yue Guo, so he let him continue to live with Zheng Dan. But the husband actually lived up to Zheng Dan's affection. So he will definitely make the husband pay the price. After everything is done, he will take Xi Shi away from politics and power, be a pair of fairy couples, and sail on the West Lake. That's the life he really dreamed of. He helped the king of Yue to restore the country for the sake of "the righteousness of loyal ministers", and after "righteousness", only "love" remained. He waited with great anticipation for that day to come.

Fan Li has already married a wife and had children. There was such a huge family standing behind him, how could he come out and wander without leaving an heir? However, only the husband knew the details of his affairs, and the others could only see the part of the situation that he was willing to show off.

Shih Tzu's appearance is extraordinary, and he doesn't mind staying by his side to play around for a while in the future. As for the promise of "one lifetime", just kidding! How could he Fan Li stop for a mere woman?

Xi Shi quickly replied to Fan Li, with only eight words, "The sea is dry and the stones are rotten, this love is unswerving", and a strand of hair sorted out by the palace maid was combed, tied with a red rope.

When Fan Li received something, he put 120,000 points of heart into his stomach.

Xi Shi sneered in his heart: Fan Li, Fan Li, how can you not think that this "love" is not "love", but "hatred", right?

In a dark hall in King Wu's palace, Wu Zixu stood behind his husband wearing a suit of armor.

"King, do you really trust them so much? After all, they are from the Yue Kingdom!"

"I believe in them! I get along with them day and night, and I know their hearts and backgrounds very well. They deserve my trust. The husband did not turn back, but his answer was very firm.

"In case ......" Wu Zixu still hesitated.

"No whatever, Wu Xiang. They have put their parents in my hands, and I have to be worthy of their trust. ”

"But, my lord, you have sent both of your ladies and their parents to safety, but you are in a palace where wolves are watching. Lao Chen still Jianyì You stay in the army outside the city, and wait until the day of the post-sealing ceremony to let the stand-in pretend. The forces of the various parties in the palace are intricate and too unsafe. Wu Guo can't afford the accident now!" Wu Zixu persuaded bitterly.

In order to prevent the soldiers from falling into the hands of Gou Jian if the soldiers entered the city late, King Wu had already set a plan for King Wu to get out of the shell. King Wu pretended to be lazy, and he didn't go to court recently, and all the government affairs were entrusted to Dazai, and the stand-in only had to pretend to be on stage on the day of the concubine ceremony. By the time Gou Jian found out that he had caught the wrong person, the general trend would have already gone. But King Wu couldn't let go of Xi Shi, so he had to face the risk with her.

"The soldiers fought bloodily for the state of Wu, how can this king be a deserter?" Fucha knew what Wu Zixu meant, but he couldn't agree.

Fusu Castle originally had 30,000 soldiers defending the city, but nearly 10,000 were sent away by Dazai Ya under various names, and the defenders in the city are currently less than 20,000. There are also thousands of people in the team who are greatly influenced by Dazai, and I am afraid that they will not be on their side when the time comes. Only a few thousand people can guarantee their faithfulness. Outside the city, in the mountains of the other direction opposite the Valley of Hundred Flowers, there was a hidden army of 100,000 troops transferred back from the Wu-Yue border. It's safer to stay there. However, he could not leave Xi Shi alone to face this qiē.

Wu Zixu wanted to persuade again, but was directly interrupted by his husband, "Wu Xiang doesn't need to persuade again! This king knows what you mean, and you also know what this king thinks." There are more than 10,000 people in the city, and Dazai and Gou Jian combined have nearly 10,000. Although the ceremony was organized by Dazai, he will definitely install a lot of his own people to come in, but don't forget that I also have a secret guard in my hand. At that time, it will probably be evenly matched. You have 20,000 men lurk outside the city a day in advance, and when noon arrives and the ceremony begins, you will enter the city immediately, and you will surely reach the palace in an hour. It will take some time for Fucha to occupy the palace, and the strength in my hands will be enough to hold out until the arrival of the army. ”

"I'm afraid that Gou Jian is secretly black...... Wu Zixu frowned.

"The only person who can secretly do it to me is Xi Shi Zheng Dan. They won't hurt me. Fucha's eyes were as bright as stars, full of pride and confidence, and he looked at Wu Zixu and said, "I know that Wu Xiang can't completely let down his guard against them because of their background. Let's make a bet! Bet on Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's sincerity to me. I bet they wouldn't betray me. ”

"King, this matter is too serious, you can't gamble! You can't completely put the success or failure of the matter on a female stream!" Wu Zixu was shocked, he must not let King Wu gamble.

Fucha didn't look at him, but looked at the vast sky outside the window, and muttered: "Wu Xiang, how do you say that a person's life should be spent?"

"If life is a cold winter, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are the only little warmth I can feel, and if life is a long dark night, they are the only light I can see. If you don't have this warmth and light, what's the point of living alone in this dark and cold world, even if you hold the greatest power in the world?"

"I am willing to gamble with the country, with all my people and my lives, and bet that they will not betray me!"

Fucha's gaze became more and more determined, and his whole body was awe-inspiring, like a sword out of its sheath.

Wu Zixu felt the momentum of his husband, and faintly saw the shadow of the first Wang Wei'an. I was going to say something, but I couldn't say anything at the moment. In this case, he and King Wu can be in the same boat.

Xi Shi was in Gyeongbok Palace at this time to see the news handed over by Fan Li. Fan Li wanted her to get the defense layout of Fusu City from her husband.

Although Dazai Yao desperately installed his own people in Wu's team, because Wu Zixu was very powerful, even if he died now, his henchmen and generals were dismissed from their posts and squeezed away, but many low-level officers and soldiers were still talking about him. Even if he tried his best, bribing and coercing, he only managed to win over a few thousand people. In addition, he wanted to recruit Wu Zixu's descendants to send some troops. However, the majority of the remaining officers and men still ignored Dazai's love and adopted the "three noes" attitude of "no resistance, no refusal, and no cooperation." That's all Dazai can do. He had no experience in leading troops before, and he had no prestige in the army, so he could only use his power to do something, and he could not convince the public. For the layout of the city defense of Fusu City, only Fucha knows best, and Dazai Yao cannot completely control it in his own hands.

Xi Shi now lives in the Ming Zheng Palace, where the husband handles political affairs. Originally, among the palace people in the Biwa Pavilion, only Xianglan followed.

There are all poor husbands here, and Xianglan is also tied up when she does things, not as free as before. The husband and Xi Shi get along in private a lot of the time, and they don't let her serve by their side. Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided, she is only responsible for delivering news and monitoring Xi Shi, Xi Shi has always been good, she doesn't need to do anything. Xi Shi often stopped in Fucha's imperial study, and he must be able to get the military defense layout of Fusu City.

Things seemed to be going the way Pandan had imagined.
