Chapter 17: Stone House Night Talk

It's already dark. There was no light in the stone house, and it was pitch black on one side. It's a secluded place, and after dark, no outsiders come. Wu Bing, who is in charge, lives in another house.

The so-called supervision, in fact, is to put on a show, they are not afraid of the Yue Wang couple and Fan Li escaping. Even, they wished that the Yue Wang and his wife would escape, so that there would be a reason to kill them.

As soon as the Yue Wang couple and Fan Li came, they won the favor of Sima Zhe, needless to say, the two silver horns played a role.

At that time, Wu circulated a kind of kudzu coin made of fine kudzu cloth. As for hard currencies such as gold and silver, they were only used by the nobles and the wealthy. Fan Li gave Sima Zhe two silver horns when he made a move, which was a very heavy meeting gift. Later, he bought a sacrifice for a silver horn, but in fact, a tenth of it was not used up, and the rest of the money, the soldier sold wine and meat, ate and drank, and he would sleep in his own room.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed and entered the stone house. The horses are eating hay and making a beautiful "cooing" sound. The shadow came to a door, and with a light knock, it opened.

King Yue whispered, "Young Uncle, are you back?" ”

The black shadow is Fan Li, and he said, "The minister is back." ”

The queen also came over, and the king of Yue said, "Has anyone found you?" ”

Fan Li said: "No. There are few people in Wu who can find the traces of the ministers' actions, and the king can rest assured. ”

Queen Yayu said, "General, sit down and speak, what do you see?" ”

Fan Li said: "The minister followed Sima Zhe and saw him enter the palace of King Wu. ”

King Yue said: "Can he enter the palace as an ordinary school captain?" ”

Fan Li said: "According to his level, he can't enter the palace, but if he has a special token or something, he can naturally enter the palace." ”

King Yue nodded and said, "That's the case, if he is specially sent by King Wu, of course he can enter and leave the palace freely." Young uncle, tell me what you think. ”

Fan Li slowly analyzed: "Sima Zhe is not simple, his status is not high, but he can enter the palace. When he entered the palace, he must have reported our situation to King Wu. This proves that these people who supervise us are specially sent by King Wu. In fact, they are secret agents. Our every move is under their watchful eye, and it will soon be reported to King Wu. ”

King Yue did not squeak, and the queen said, "I have three kings and ministers, unarmed, what can I do?" ”

Fan Li said: "Although we can't do anything, he still doesn't feel at ease with us, he wants to know our every move, and wants to spy on our real thoughts." They will not hesitate to kill us when they know they can't make us surrender from the heart. ”

King Yue said: "Young uncle, I can't figure it out, since he is ready to kill us at any time, why should he arrest us and kill us in Huiji Mountain." ”

Fan Li said: "The husband did not kill us immediately, but took us captive to be his slaves, there are several reasons, first, he feels that killing us with a knife does not relieve hatred, only let us suffer and suffer insults to relieve hatred." Second, he didn't kill us, but he made an appearance for the world to see, and he got a good reputation for being kind and generous. Thirdly, and most importantly, Dazai played a key role. If it weren't for Bo Ya's protection, our monarchs would have been swordsmen a long time ago. ”

King Yue sighed, pondered for a while and said, "Young Uncle is right, that's how things are. ”

Fan Li said: "King, Queen, we are always in danger now, and if we do not do well and arouse the suspicion of the husband, he will not hesitate to kill us." ”

Gou Jian was born in a family, and after taking over the throne, he did a vigorous thing, like this, as a cheap slave, and in a dangerous environment, he had no idea what to do.

Gou Jian said: "The widow really can't stand it, but I hope that the husband will kill us happily." ”

Fan Li immediately realized that this was a dangerous emotion, and said: "King, we must not think like this, if we have such thoughts, we will soon arouse the suspicion of Fucha, and we will soon be killed by him, then everything we have done will be in vain." ”

The queen Yayu said, "King, the general has a good brain, and we will listen to him." ”

The king of Yue said, "Young uncle, you tell the widow, and the widow listens to you." ”

Fan Li said: "King, the minister has followed the king all the way, and has been thinking in his heart, tonight, the minister will think of some things, tell the king, there will be some things that do not conform to the king's will, please forgive the king's sins." ”

King Yue said: "The young man is fiercely loyal to the widow, no matter what he says, it is for the good of the widow, and the widow will not blame you." ”

Yayu said, "General, say, you teach us how to do it." ”

Fan Li sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "King, Queen, we gave up the last battle because we were sure to lose, and our 5,000 soldiers and horses could not compete with the 200,000 troops of the Wu army. We, the monarchs, soldiers, and common people of Dayue, are not afraid of death, and will fight to the last man. But what is the result? As a result, all our monarchs and ministers were killed in battle, the temple was destroyed, and the Yue Kingdom disappeared from then on, and from now on, there will be no Yue Kingdom again. To put it mildly, the Yue Kingdom, which has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 20 generations, is no longer in your hands as a king. ”

King Yue said sadly: "The widow is incompetent. There was a great deal of pain and shame in his voice.

Fan Li said: "However, we gave up the last battle and chose to surrender. Surrender is not easy, people do not accept it. We used all our scheming and humiliation to contribute all the treasures of the Yue Kingdom, and hundreds of girls, using the king and queen as hostages. Only then did King Wu accept our surrender. We are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but we are not afraid of death. So what are we for? Please tell Fan Li, what are we doing this for? ”

The blood of the king of Yue was hot again, and he said, "Revive the kingdom of Yue!" ”

Fan Li said: "Queen Yayu, you say it again." ”

Yayu said: "Revive the Yue Kingdom!" ”

Fan Li said: "I also say it again: revive the Yue country!" ”

"We, the monarchs, will say it together."

"Revive the Yue Kingdom!"

"Good!" Fan Li said that our big goal has been determined, that is, the rejuvenation of the Yue country, and in the future, everything our monarchs and ministers say and do, is for this goal. Although the minister was stupid and did not dare to guarantee that the restoration of the country would be successful, the minister would use all his strength to fight with his husband to repay the king's kindness. ”

Then he fell on the ground and prostrated his head. Yue Wang and Yayu hurriedly stretched out their hands and pulled them up. King Yue said, "Young Uncle teach me!" ”

Fan Li stood up: "King, whether the plan to restore the country can succeed depends not only on our enemies, but also on ourselves, on the king and queen. ”

The king of Yue said, "What should the widow do?"

Fan Li said: "The king is the king of the country, leading the people, extremely noble, suddenly became a prisoner, suffered humiliation, this must not be bearable, next, how will King Wu humiliate the king, the minister does not know, but it is conceivable that he will definitely challenge your bottom line and make you unbearable." The more people die lightly, they will fight hard in case of trouble. All you have to do, king, is to endure! Endure all suffering and humiliation, and never die lightly. The second is to pretend, no matter how bitter and hateful you are, you must pretend to be obedient and pretend to be a ghost who is afraid of death, so that King Wu will feel that you no longer have the will to restore the country. Tell your courtiers, king, can you do it? ”

Silent.

Yayu said softly, "The king ......"

King Yue finally trembled and said, "Widow...... Can do ......"

"Good! One is forbearance, and the other is pretending. Fan Li turned to Yayu, "Queen Yayu, you are the queen, the mother of the world, you are the other half of the king, with you, the country is complete." The queen is as beautiful as a fairy. The husband will not let you go, they will use you as a bargaining chip to torture the king. In the great cause of restoring the country, the queen's dedication, the queen's sacrifice, and the queen's humiliation may be the greatest. Queen, please tell Fan Li, can you bear all this? ”

Yayu cried and did not answer.

Fan Li knelt down: "The minister is dead, the minister shouldn't force the mother like this!" ”

Yayu cried and pulled Fan Li up: "General, in order to restore the country, Yayu is willing to endure everything!" ”
