Before the king of Yue could send a message to the king of Wu, the envoy of the state of Wu, Ji Gongzi, had already come to the Yue Palace.

Because of the hurry, the Yue Palace didn't have time to prepare to greet him, so he hurriedly recruited Xi Shi and others into the main hall.

As soon as they entered the main hall, everyone looked at Yue Nu in unison.

The king looked at them with satisfaction, and then said to a man in blue in the hall, "Master Ji, they are here." ”

Ji Gongzi turned his head when he heard this, and glanced at Xi Shi. But the next moment, he looked at Zheng Dan and Su Yi again.

"I haven't seen each other for a few years, but the three Yue girls are getting more and more beautiful." Ji Gongzi said in a flat tone.

King Yue was surprised by Ji Gongzi's calmness, and thought: These three beauties are already considered to be the beauty of the country, and even he can't help but be moved when he sees them, but Ji Gongzi, a small envoy, can be calm as a house, which is really amazing.

Although he thought so in his heart, King Yue still said politely: "Yes, the last time Ji Gongzi came, he took away Miss Muli." The widow still remembers that when Ji Gongzi left, he said that Miss Xi Shi was still a little girl. ”

After that, King Yue summoned Xi Shi to come forward and see Ji Gongzi.

Xi Shi stepped forward according to his words, saluted Ji Gongzi in a dignified manner, and said, "Xi Shi has seen Ji Gongzi." ”

Ji Gongzi turned around and returned the salute, then looked at Xi Shi with a smile and said, "The little girl has really grown up." There is less eccentricity at that time, but there are more feminine and coquettish women, it seems that when you go to Wu Kingdom, you won't cry your nose, right? ”

When everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter, as if the days had returned to that night a few years ago. It's as if nothing has changed, and it's as if nothing has changed.

Xi Shi smiled softly at Ji Gongzi and replied softly: "Shi Er was young and ignorant, which made Ji Gongzi smile." ”

Ji Gongzi raised his eyebrows and whispered to Xi Shi: "It's still a little fun when I was a child." ”

Xi Shi blinked, and subconsciously made a simple and innocent expression.

Seeing this, Ji Gongzi laughed again and continued to whisper to her: "It seems that it has not changed." ”

The whispers of the two made others very curious, and King Yue said directly: "It seems that Gongzi Ji is very satisfied with Miss Xi Shi, and presumably King Wu will not dislike the beauty that the widow offered for him." ”

After a few more polite words with King Yue, Ji Gongzi said bluntly: "Since the Yue women are ready, they will set off to return to Wu in three days." ”

King Yue frowned and pondered for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "This ...... To tell the truth, these Yue women were carefully selected and cultivated by Fan Li, the general of my Yue country, if they go back to Wu State, wouldn't it be perfect to let General Fan escort them together? Right now, General Fan is on his way back, it is better for Ji Gongzi to stay a few more days, General Fan will definitely be able to rush back within a month. When the time comes, it's good to go to Wu together together. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Gongzi continued: "It's time for the minister and my king to go back, it seems that General Fan is going to miss the day of escorting Yue Ji." Moreover, there will be some fists and feet in the next place, and it will definitely not let the beauties get injured and have accidents. ”

Ji Gongzi moved out of King Wu, and instantly suppressed the momentum of King Yue, and King Yue did not dare to disobey, so he had to agree to set off in three days.

After the dinner was over, King Yue immediately sent someone to quickly raise the whip to deliver the news to Fan Li.

Originally, Fan Li heard that the king sent someone to inform him of the recent situation of Xi Shi thousands of miles away, and the king informed him of the folk songs that Xi Shi wore after they were in the capital lane, and he knew that it was almost the day when they went to Wu. Therefore, Fan Li immediately whipped up and went north and rushed back to the city day and night.

Fan Li, who had been cured of the flood for a whole year, had already become exhausted, and coupled with the continuous travel, he finally couldn't bear it and fell on the way back.

On the day of departure, the sun was very poisonous, but there was a sea of people outside the palace, and everyone wanted to see the departure of the three beauties who were peerless. Sitting in the carriage, Shih Tzu gently lifted the window curtain and looked out. Seeing this scene, Xi Shi remembered that when he first came to Yueguo, the witty Fan Li came up with the idea of "beauties selling their faces" so that they could pass through the crowd smoothly.

But Ji Gongzi, who led the team this time, didn't seem to be in a hurry, obviously talking to King Yue that he was in a hurry to go back. When it was time to go back, he rode leisurely down the street, as if he was afraid of the horse's hooves.

There were more and more people seeing them off, and the sound of the people beside the carriage was also heard.

"Three girls go all the way......"

"Take care of yourself this time!"

"Peace and joy, all things are successful!"

The sound of blessings came and went, and these voices made the Yue girls gradually move from the bottom of their hearts. But in addition to being moved, it also raised a greater sadness of leaving home and leaving the country.

The crowd didn't know who got up, and the popular folk songs all over the streets began to sing again:

"The peerless Yue Ji, in the capital lane; One look at the city, and then look at the country! Distant relatives leave the country and go to righteousness; Inherit the king of Wu, and the blessing is more than the people! Inherit the blessing of heaven on the top, and connect Wang En on the bottom; Passed down from generation to generation, forever! ”

In the midst of such shouts, the convoy changed and moved forward, and finally moved forward to the suburbs at sunset, and after arriving in the suburbs, the people gradually became scarce, and the relaxed environment gave the Xi Shi a chance to breathe.

The convoy stopped for rest where there were no pedestrians. Ji Gongzi hit the horse and walked to the front of Xi Shi's carriage, stretched out his hand to pick up the curtain of Xi Shi's carriage and looked at her, and said: "There are few pedestrians here, if you are bored, you can get down and take a walk." ”

Xi Shi nodded obediently, got up and was about to get out of the car.

Ji Gongzi intimately helped her lift the door curtain, and Xi Shi was about to step out of the carriage, but she heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves not far away. The guards instantly geared up and raised their weapons to the front.

After Ji Gongzi heard the sound of horses' hooves, his eyes lit up, and he put the door curtain down and blocked Xi Shi inside to protect him. But he turned his horse's head and stared solemnly in the direction from which the sound of the horse's hooves came.

In a few moments, a red horse galloped to the front of the convoy, and when the red horse was about to collide, the horseman immediately tightened his reins.

The red horse howled and raised its hooves, and after a long "hoop", the red horse finally stopped steadily.

It was not until the red horse was parked that everyone saw that there were two people on the horse, one was the man who was riding the horse, and the other was the man in white who was being carried. And the man in white had fainted, lying motionless on the back of the red horse.

"Who's coming?" Ji Gongzi asked coldly.

After the man who commanded the horse saluted, he said, "Under Chen Erhu, he is General Fan Li's subordinate. When General Fan heard that the Yue Ji were going to get up and go to Wu, he rushed back day and night to escort them. It's just that General Fan was very tired from fighting the flood and providing disaster relief in the past few days, and he had been on the road for many days day and night, so he couldn't bear it for a while and fainted on the way. However, General Fan told the villain that he must catch up with the convoy so that he could escort the Yue girls to Wu. ”

Xi Shi heard the name "Chen Erhu" in the carriage and felt very familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that this was the person on the village who competed with Xi Cheng when Fan Li took her to recruit Anshan bandits before.

So, Fan Li rushed back?

Xi Shi thought that there was Fan Li outside the car, and he couldn't help but pound in the heart.

Chen Erhu's words were very organized, not as vulgar as before, but it was very difficult to refuse.

But Ji Gongzi still refused: "Since General Fan is already tired, there is no need to follow the convoy." In this case, I will send a carriage to send General Fan back to his house. When General Fan wakes up, you help me thank him. ”

After that, Ji Gongzi waved his hand and signaled to set off.

But Chen Erhu immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Please bring General Fan, General Fan gave the villain a military order, if the little one didn't let General Fan wake up with the convoy, General Fan would use military law to deal with the villain!" ”

Ji Gongzi frowned and did not speak.

Chen Erhu saw that there was an opportunity, so he continued: "Besides, General Fan is just to send the Yue women to the Wu Kingdom safely, after all, General Fan once promised the King of Yue that he would send the beauties to the Yue Kingdom safely. Therefore, in order to fulfill their promise to be a monarch and a minister, please let General Fan accompany you! ”

Ji Gongzi rubbed his brows, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "That's it." Go and rest in the carriage in the back, and we'll be on our way." ”

Chen Erhu immediately smiled, picked up Fan Li and carried him into the last carriage.

The convoy continued to move forward, and after such a fuss, it was almost dark. So they sped up and went to the next town to find an inn to rest.

When they arrived in town, a group of people went into an inn, and after a while, everyone went into their rooms to rest.

The room of the three Yue girls was on the middle floor, and two guards were also sent to guard the door.

After Zheng Dan and Su Yi entered the house, they both washed up and prepared to rest, but Xi Shi sat in front of the mirror and began to draw his eyebrows and eyes carefully. Because she knew that Fan Li would definitely come to her tonight.

Sure enough, in the dead of night, Xi Shi was lying quietly on the bed, and heard the sound of the window being gently pushed open and gently closed.

Xi Shi hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The sound of very light footsteps slowly approached the wooden bed. Shih Tzu felt the man sit gently on the edge of his bed again, presumably looking at him.

Xi Shi thought to himself, he had to keep pretending to sleep like this, and see what Fan Li wanted to do.

But the longer I waited, the longer I waited, the more the person next to the bed didn't move at all.

Xi Shi couldn't help but start nervous, and hurriedly adjusted his breathing so that he would not show his stuffing.

But the person who came was delicate and keen, and he had already noticed that she was pretending to be asleep. I have been silent, and I also want to see how long she can pretend. Knowing that seeing her eyelashes fluttering, I finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Xi Shi couldn't help but panic when he heard the laughter, but he still pretended to be calm.

So the man leaned down and whispered in Shih Tzu's ear, "Who are you waiting for when you don't sleep at night?" ”
