Wu Zixu originally thought that he knew Fan Li very well, but recently he realized that he didn't know Fan Li more and more. Especially when he heard that Fan Li and King Wu had a falling out, he pointed his sword at King Wu, and then walked away. I was even more surprised.

Although his position is not higher than Wu Zixu and Bo Yao, King Wu's favor for him definitely exceeds that of Wu Zixu and Bo Yao, which is a recognized fact.

A courtier should be satisfied and cherished even more if he can mix like this. But Fan Li did not hesitate to turn his face with King Wu because of a woman. That heroic, that free and easy, except for Fan Li, no one in the world can do it.

The people who are officials in the world are despicable two-faced people. They want to be heroic and free all the time, but they can only pretend to be an uncle in front of the subordinates and the common people, and play prestige, in front of the superiors and the monarch, their bones are soft, and they are all grandchildren.

What they value most is money and power, and they have worked hard and grovelled all their lives for money and power. There have been few people who have been able to resign in anger for their convictions for thousands of years.

Fan Li should be the first person.

Although Wu Zixu was loyal to the State of Wu and the King of Wu, he really couldn't do it and was reluctant to ask him to hang up the seal and leave.

And Fan Li has been in Wu for so many years, he has not built a mansion, he is not close to women, and he has not even received a salary for many years, which is beyond ordinary people's behavior.

Fan Li was innocently killed for a girl, and he did not hesitate to turn his face with King Wu, this behavior was completely beyond Wu Zixu's understanding of him, and he admired Fan Li even more. When he heard that his subordinates reported that General Zhang Gong led people to catch Fan Li, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy. What is surprising is that a person like Fan Li would be planted in the hands of a small general. The joy is that a strong opponent has been eliminated since then.

He immediately ordered his subordinates, first, to keep this matter absolutely confidential, and second, not to abuse Fan Li. He was not far away, and he came on horseback, and he wanted to meet Fan Li. Seriously, he misses Fan Li a little.

After listening to Fan Li's words, he nodded, and had to admit in his heart that Fan Li was right, he said: "Brother, I admit that you do see things from a higher starting point than me." What we fight for cannot be compared in terms of power, wealth, or even personal honor and disgrace, but only in our careers. I know that you have been busy for the restoration of the Yue Kingdom, and I, Wu Zixu, have been working hard to defend the Wu Kingdom. From this point of view, Wu is now facing a major crisis, making enemies on all sides, Chu State, Qi State, these big countries are all enemies of Wu State, and what is even more terrifying is Yue State, I firmly believe that Yue State has now formed an army, and in a few months at most, it will be able to form a combat force, and they already have the strength to compete with Wu State. These surrounding powers, including the state of Wu, continued to have civil strife, and the discord between the monarchs and ministers greatly weakened the national strength. There is only the exception of the Yue Kingdom, the Yue King Gou Jian husband and wife harmony, the spread of benevolence, the reverence of the people, and the most important thing is the unity of the monarch and the ministers, and the whole country is united. In addition, Fan Li and Wen are loyal and wise. Within two or three years, an army will be raised to attack Wu. Wu Guo is in danger. From this aspect, brother, you win. ”

Fan Li looked at Wu Zixu, although this old man was still proud, but as he grew older, his hair and beard were almost all white. He suddenly felt that Wu Zixu was also a pitiful person. Wu Guo became strong in Wu Zixu's hands, and weakened in his hands, and the bitterness in Wu Zixu's heart was difficult for others to understand.

Wu Zixu still had a heartache in his heart, that is, he completely offended the Chu State and cut off the road back to his hometown forever. When he went to Sanhu to visit Fan Li, he stood on the land of his homeland and shed sad tears, which Fan Li saw with his own eyes.

Fan Li said: "Brother, Fan Li is very different from you, you take a road of no return. You have lost the kingdom of Wu, and your soul will have nowhere to put it. And Fan Li is completely a grateful mentality. Yue Guo is kind to Fan Li. The people of Yue treated Fan Li like their relatives. Fan Li was wrong about Yue Guo. As a courtier, Fan Li was unable to prevent Gou Jian from waging a wrong war, which led to the destruction of the Yue Kingdom. This is Fan Li's major fault. What Fan Li has to do now is to be grateful and correct mistakes, and I want to make Yue strong again. At that time, Fan Li's matter was completed. Fan Li will never be greedy for Hongchen, and will never stay for one more day, and leave immediately. And you? My brother, your career was completed twenty years ago, you look at Mr. Sun Wu, after finishing the matter, the rapids retreated bravely, wandering among the mountains and rivers, how chic. And you? One way to the dark. Nothing, things are getting worse, I know you're sad, but why are you struggling to support it? Don't you see that you can't turn the tide? ”

Wu Zixu did not answer, and there was a long silence. Old tears rolled in his eyes. He looked up and sighed deeply. said: "Those who know me, Fan Liye!" Brother, there is no second person in the world who understands me as well as you. You know my pain, you know my pain. But you should know that I can't turn back. I made a mistake for losing my sense of proportion. If I had simply taken revenge and not humiliated my fathers and fathers, maybe there would have been a way back. But at that time, he was young and vigorous, and he did things recklessly, and now it is too late to regret it. Brother, do you think I have any other choice? With that, he bowed his head deeply.

Fan Li said: "Brother, the husband is not a close one. You probably know why I fell out with my husband. He was a king of a generation, and he fought with his fifteen-year-old son for a woman, and finally killed poor Luo Jiang. He completely forgot that Luo Jiang was given to him by my Fan Li, don't say that Luo Jiang is right, just compare Luo Jiang with mistakes, and should also look at my Fan Li's face and let her go. Who can tolerate such ugly and evil things he has done? I didn't kill my husband at the time, it's not that he didn't deserve to die. Brother, do you still want to be so desperate for such an impermanent villain? ”

Wu Zixu said: "Brother, you can do this, I can't do it." Because you are not a true courtier in your bones. And I, Wu Zixu, am a courtier with a poor husband, a courtier who is as genuine as a fake, how can I be as free and easy as you and walk away? ”

Fan Li felt sorry for Wu Zixu in his heart, and said sincerely: "Brother, listen to my advice, stop it, it's not too late for you to leave now, it's still too late." Don't stay in the country of Wu, King Wu has a deep grudge against you, and he won't let you go. ”

Wu Zixu said sadly: "Brother, do you think I don't know my situation? But the country is in trouble, can I leave in style as a courtier? ”

Fan Li looked at Wu Zixu and said in his heart, bad old man, since you are obsessed, Fan Li is going to kill you. Say, "Okay. I don't advise you anymore to let your stupidity make your reputation, but as a friend, I still have a sentence that I don't know if you would like to hear. ”

Wu Zixu said: "Say, brother, I am willing to listen to whatever you say." ”

Fan Li said: "Brother, you yourself are loyal to King Wu, and you die without resentment. But have you thought about your family? They are innocent, why do you want them to die with you? Especially your son, when he dies, won't your incense be broken? ”

These words hurt Wu Zixu, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore: "What do you tell me to do?" ”

Fan Li said: "Is there no way? Will you listen to me? ”

Wu Zixu said: "Please brother teach me!" ”。

Fan Li said: "I know that you have always had a good relationship with the Bao family of Qi State, you can quietly send your son to Qi State and ask Bao to protect it." Isn't that enough? ”

Wu Zixu got up, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed deeply to the end: "Thank you, Brother Young Uncle, you saved my son!" ”
