Chapter 109: Wu Zixu said
As he spoke, the sky was bright. Fan Li didn't sleep all night, although he was very sleepy, but the matter was urgent, he couldn't take a rest, so he hurried to the palace.
Although Fan Liguan is not big, as a palace guard, he has a privilege that other courtiers do not have, that is, he can enter and leave the palace freely. In particular, you can be on duty in the harem. This made many ministers envious, jealous and hateful.
When the forbidden army guarding the palace saw Fan Li, they saluted and greeted, and did not stop him.
When they came to the court hall where the proceedings were held, many people knew that King Wu was sick and rushed to visit. But they couldn't enter the harem and couldn't see King Wu, so they could only wait for news here.
Wu Zixu was also on the side, bowing his head and pondering. He took off his military uniform and wore his usual court clothes. King Wu's illness was directly related to his killing of Zheng Dan with an arrow. Yesterday, King Wu was furious and wanted to kill him with a sword, thanks to Fan Li for saving him.
That sword was cut down, and it was a hundred, and Fan Li came to save him, which he never expected. He thought that Fan Li, like himself, regarded the other party as an enemy in his heart, and he wanted to get rid of him quickly.
In fact, King Yue was not his personal enemy. He has no personal enemies. If there is, it is Fei Wuji of Chu State, but that revenge has already been avenged. As for the kings and ministers of the Yue Dynasty, he looked at the problem from the standpoint of the state. He always thought that with the wisdom of King Yue and the ability and loyalty of Fan Liwen, Wu Guo would be defeated by Yue Guo sooner or later.
What puzzled him the most was that the arrow he shot yesterday was obviously aimed at the tiger, but somehow it hit Zheng Dan.
At a distance of less than a hundred paces, the tiger is such a big target. How can you shoot inaccurately? He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has experienced a hundred battles after joining the army, and he has never made such a mistake.
What's more, it was King Wu's beloved woman who was shot to death!
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is understandable that King Wu likes beautiful women, and the princes fight for it, stripped of those high-sounding words, and in the end it comes down to power, money and beauty. The king loves beautiful women, and who of those courtiers does not love beautiful women?
But in Wu Zixu's view, this is a conspiracy, this is to use beauties to confuse King Wu, disrupt the dynasty, and plot against him.
But with his character, he would not kill Zheng Dan by this means, he would use legal means to get rid of or drive away these two demon girls openly.
But that arrow hit Zheng Dan, and it was killed with one arrow, which is really a hell of a life.
Fan Li blocked King Wu's sword, but the matter was not over, King Wu just didn't kill him, and he wouldn't listen to him anymore, he completely offended King Wu.
Seeing Fan Li coming, Wu Zixu couldn't help but stand up, he knew that Fan Li had the right to enter the harem at will, and he immediately thought that Fan Li could speak to King Wu nearby. If Fan Li made a fuss about this matter to King Wu, the consequences of the matter would be unpredictable.
Fan Li also saw Wu Zixu, his mind turned faster than Wu Zixu, he thought of everything Wu Zixu thought, and he also thought of what Wu Zixu didn't expect.
He walked straight towards Wu Zixu.
"Uncle Fan!" This is a respectful title, Fan Li didn't expect Wu Zixu to call himself like this, he bowed to Wu Zixu, looked at Wu Zixu, and waited for what he was going to say.
Wu Zixu suddenly felt that he didn't know where to start, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Over there...... Done? ”
Fan Li sighed and said, "It's hard for Xiangguo to still miss that poor girl." I've already found a place to bury Zheng Dan. What I'm worried about now is how to explain to her parents when I return to Yue Guo one day. ”
Wu Zixu paused for a while and said, "I said I didn't mean it, you must not believe it, how could Wu Zixu make such a mistake?" ”
Fan Li said: "It doesn't matter if I don't believe it, anyway, it's already like this." The problem is that it hits the king hard. ”
Wu Zixu shook his head, showing a very sad look: "I want to do things well, but I always can't do it by mistake." I just want my uncle to believe me, I didn't take such an opportunity to kill Zheng Dan's heart at all. ”
Fan Li said: "I am soft-spoken, I believe that it is not important whether you believe it or not, it is important that the king believes in you." ”
Wu Zixu said: "No, it is also important for uncle to believe. I still regard you and King Yue as the fierce rivals of the Wu Kingdom, and I don't have to hide this from you. I just want to fight you on the table, and I don't want to lose a Wu country like this. ”
Fan Li sneered: "Xiangguo is really fast-talking, Fan Li admires you for this." I know what you mean. I can tell you that Fan Li is an upright gentleman and will not speak ill of you in front of the king. As for how the king judges, I will not interject. Are you relieved of this? ”
Wu Zixu said: "I believe in you. You are a character, you are an enemy of Wu State, but not an enemy of my Wu Zixu, in private, I admire you very much. Whatever the king does to me, I am to blame. It's hard for me to win, I'm sad, but I'm not going to give up, you be careful. ”
Wu Zixu's words made Fan Li feel like thunder, and he had never heard anyone speak to him like this. He concealed the shock in his heart and smiled faintly: "Xiangguo, you made a mistake in judgment, we are sincerely obedient to Dawu, will you be ashamed of your cruelty to the innocent?" ”
Wu Zixu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I believe in my own eyes, and my judgment will not be wrong." If I hurt a good person, I, Wu, will commit suicide and apologize! ”
What a man! Fan Li secretly admired in his heart. If King Wu trusts him and listens to him, the Kingdom of Wu will always be invincible. Sadly, King Wu will never trust him again. Historical knowledge told Fan Li that Wu Zixu's fate was very tragic.
The sigh in his heart was not revealed at all, and Fan Li said with regret on his face: "Xiangguo must regard the king of Yue as an enemy, and Fan Li has no choice but to try his best to protect himself, but you can trust Fan Li like a gentleman, and I will never say bad things about you in front of the king." ”
Wu Zixu bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle, Wu believes that you are a true gentleman." ”
As he spoke, the waiting ministers suddenly rushed forward. Fan Li looked at it, and it turned out that the imperial doctor had come out.
"Doctor, how is the king?"
"Is the king better?"
Everyone asked in a rambling manner. The imperial physician was a thin old man with a goatee, and when everyone calmed down, he said: "The king was drenched in rain yesterday, suffered from the wind and cold, and suddenly had mood swings, and the cold and dampness were depressed in his heart. ”
Everyone knows what mood swings are all about, and they looked at Wu Zixu together. Wu Zixu was originally a jujube red face, but this time his face turned purple.
Fan Li didn't have time to think about it, he wanted to go to see King Wu in person, brush up on his sense of existence, and let King Wu know that King Yue knew that he was sick and was very anxious and wanted to enter the palace to visit.
He crossed the crowd and strode towards the harem.
