Fan Li and Uncle Chang were talking softly in a hidden corner of the inn courtyard, and suddenly Uncle Chang lowered his voice: "Don't speak, someone is coming." ”

Fan Li looked at Shu Chang's fingers, and saw a figure on the roof behind the inn, and disappeared in a flash. Fan Li gently pulled out his sword and said to Shu Chang: "You go and take a look, don't alarm him." ”

Uncle Chang pulled out a short knife and pulled it horizontally in front of him: "The result?" ”

Fan Li said and shook his head: "It's useless, kill him, someone will come." Let's get to the bottom of him first. ”

Uncle Chang nodded, jumped his body, and went up to the roof, like a tanuki, without any movement.

Fan Li carried the sword, gently retreated outside the gate of King Yue, and stood in the shadow of the house.

The night wind swept across the ridge of the roof, swirled in the yard, and then rolled over the ridge and blew into the distance. It was quiet in the yard, and the snort of the horses in the stable was heard.

The door of the house opened silently, and King Yue walked out gently with a sword in his hand. Fan Li went over and whispered, "King, go and rest, it's okay." ”

Fan Li then remembered that King Yue had been living a military career before, and naturally he was also vigilant as a soldier, and he heard a little movement in the wind and grass.

King Yue said, "What's the situation? ”

Fan Li said: "Brother Shuchang came to report just now, a person followed us and walked for thirty miles, and he also stayed in this town tonight. I just noticed someone snooping on the rooftop. I told him to take a look. Yayu also walked out gently.

King Yue said: "It is certainly not our friend who came. ”

Fan Li said: "King, you and the queen go in, it's cold outside." With me outside, everything is fine. ”

King Yue said, "Young man be careful. "And Yayu into the house.

After more than an hour, a figure fell from the house and floated towards it. It's Shu Chang.

Fan Li greeted him: "Tell me about the situation." ”

Uncle Chang said: "There is only one person, he snooped on the roof for more than an hour, returned to another inn, closed the door, turned off the lights, probably slept." I called my two brothers to keep an eye on him, and I came back to report the situation. ”

Fan Li jumped on the roof with his sword and inspected it, except for one of Shuchang's brothers, there was no one who hadn't slept. Then he fell down and said to his uncle, "Okay, let's go into the house and talk." ”

There was a knock on the door, and the light was turned on in the house, and King Yue said, "Come in." ”

Pushing open the door, Uncle Chang took a quick step and bowed down: "Uncle Chen often sees the king and queen." ”

King Yue said: "Young uncle, this is what you said about General Chang, please get up quickly." ”

Yayu also said: "General Chang, please calm down." ”

King Yue said: "General Chang, in the past few years in Wu State, you have no fixed place to live and no fixed time to eat, but fortunately you have suffered." ”

Uncle Chang was so excited in the face of the king and queen that he admired that he burst into tears, sobbed, and said, "The minister works for the king and the queen, and dies without regrets." ”

King Yue sighed and said, "The more loyal people I have, the more I have the hope of recovering the country." General Chang, please tell us about the situation. ”

Shu Chang kowtowed, got up, and said, "After the end of the day, we found that the man was following the king's chariot, and had been walking not far away. The king stayed in this town, and he also found a place to stay. This raises our suspicions. Sure enough, after dinner, he crept up to the roof of the inn where the king was staying, and peeked in this way. Da Yue took more than an hour before going back to sleep. ”

Fan Li said: "Brother, tell me your opinion." ”

Uncle often said: "This person misbehaves, that's for sure." His goal was for the king. But what exactly he wanted to do, he didn't know. In addition, this person's martial arts are very high. Alone, I'm not necessarily his opponent. ”

Fan Li said: "King, the minister thinks that in the past few years in Wu State, we have not offended anyone, and we have no grievances with the high-rollers of Wu State, so it will not be these people who come to seek revenge." The one who hates us the most in Wu is Wu Zixu. ”

King Yue said, "Could it be that these people were sent by Wu Zixu?" ”

Fan Li said: "Judging from Wu Zixu's character, he will not do such a sneaky thing. However, in the past few years in the state of Wu, he has been against us, but we have taken advantage of the benevolence of King Wu's wife and Bo Yao's greed for money and lust, and successfully confused King Wu, and separated the relationship between King Wu and Wu Zixu, and he has never been able to kill the king. Now that King Wu has let the king return to China, as soon as the king returns to Yue, it will be impossible for him to kill the king again, so he will also take advantage of the king's only opportunity on the road to send someone to assassinate the king. ”

Yayu said nervously: "General, Wu Zixu is very poisonous, he must have been planning for a long time, and the king is in danger." ”

Fan Li said: "Queen, please rest assured. The minister had already thought that there would be such a thing, and he had already made arrangements. The king will surely arrive safely. ”

King Yue said: "Young uncle, I don't understand, this time Wu Zixu only sent one person, can he complete this task?" Can you kill the widow? ”

Fan Li said: "The minister thinks that Wu Zixu is doing this thing, not only to complete it, but also to clear up the relationship. Otherwise, everyone in the world will laugh at Wu Guo for letting go and killing, not believing in his words, and acting as a villain. According to the minister's analysis, Wu Zixu will definitely not arrange to do it in the territory of Wu. Such a bad reputation is not good, and he will not arrange to do it in the territory of the Yue Kingdom, that is not his sphere of influence, and the chance of success is also very small, so he is likely to arrange to do it at the junction of Wu and Yue. He was just sending someone to spy on the situation now. Other personnel will concentrate on the hands-on area. ”

King Yue said: "Young Uncle's analysis makes sense. Let's do the same. ”

"We had to walk for about seven or eight days to reach the border area," Fan said. We still have time to prepare. Brother Shuchang, do you have anyone nearby to contact? ”

Uncle often said: "The subordinates will send people out to contact now, and there is no problem in contacting a dozen masters in three to five days." ”

Fan Li said: "Well, tell them not to show up for the time being, and hide around secretly to protect the king." Brother, don't hesitate, go now. ”

Shu Chang knelt down, kowtowed to King Wu, dodged out the door, and disappeared into the night silently.

Fan Li said: "The king, the minister has sent someone to inform the general Lingguzi and bring someone to meet us in the border area. ”

King Yue said: "The young uncle prepared early, the widow has you, plus the general Lingguzi, it will be fine." ”

Lingguzi is a famous military general in the Yue country, brave and brave, in the battle of Li that year, it was he who shot an arrow at the king of Wu, resulting in the death of Lu.

In the battle of Huiji, Yue surrendered, and King Wu once ordered the search for Lingguzi in order to retaliate, but Lingguzi had already avoided it and avoided a difficulty. Now there is a sister-in-law who brings someone to answer, and it can be guaranteed.

Fan Li said: "In the next few days, no matter what happens, the king should not move, you can protect the queen and have nothing to do, and other things will be dealt with by the ministers." ”

The king of Yue said, "The widow listens to you." ”

For the next few days, the stalker followed them not far behind, sometimes with two more, sometimes with three more. The king of Yue lives in the hotel, they also live in the hotel, and the king of Yue is in a hurry, and they are also in a hurry. Other than that, there are no other anomalies.

Day and night, not a day to come to the Wuyue border, there is no human here, in front of the barren mountains and mountains, is the place where the robbers haunt.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a whistle, and a group of people rushed out of the mountains and forests!

Fan Li shouted, "Be careful, king, they are coming." ”
