Wu Zixu left the Hou Palace and did not return to Baoxi Mansion. He didn't want to see his son Wu Feng. He felt ashamed of his son. It was his own incompetence that caused his son to go into exile, and he couldn't even have a surname.

He has already tasted the ups and downs of his career. So when his son was young, he didn't lead him to the path of being an official. The son also has no ambition or ambition. Just an ordinary, good person, that's enough.

In the officialdom, heroes such as Wu Zixu can't get a good death, and ordinary people are simply playing with their heads, and if they don't play well, they lose their heads.

Wu Zixu has been a horse all his life, and his achievements are high, so what? If you want to keep a clean slate, you can't save your life. Officialdom is dark, it has always been.

Wu Zixu walked on the street, full of emotions. By this time it was already evening, and the streets were hazy. He thought, he won't leave tonight. To go back is to die. There's no rush to die.

King Wu wanted to kill Wu Zixu, but he didn't want to bear the notoriety of killing heroes, so he sent Wu Zixu to the Qi country. wanted to borrow the hand of Qi Hou to kill Wu Zixu. didn't want the conspiracy to be discovered by Bao Xi and saved Wu Zixu.

Could it be that when Wu Zixu returned to Wu Kingdom, King Wu would let him go? Absolutely not. A narrow-minded person like King Wu doesn't even let go of someone like Fan Li. What's more, it's Wu Zixu?

Wu Zixu led his horse and stopped at the door of the post house. The waiter verified his identity, led his horse to the trough to feed, and then led him into his room to rest. After dinner, Wu Zixu sat alone under the lamp, secretly sad. Suddenly, the waiter came in and reported, "My lord, there is a guest who wants to see you." ”

Wu Zixu was stunned for a moment, he was here, and he had no relatives or friends. Who wants to see themselves? He said, "Please come in." ”

Someone he didn't expect walked in from outside. Wu Zixu said: "It's young uncle, brother, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was Fan Li. Fan Li said: "I was walking on the street and saw a figure enter the post house, I felt like an old brother, but I couldn't be sure, how could Wu Xiangguo appear in the capital of Qi State?" When I inquired, it was really an old brother. Don't come in and sit for a while. ”

Wu Zixu said: "Brother, why are you here? ”

Fan Li smiled: "Where do you think I should be?" I can't stay in Wu anymore, and I don't have a home, I can only make the whole world my home, wandering around, it's normal for you to see me in Qi State, or in Jin State, Qin State, and Chu State. ”

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "Don't fool me. Are you going to be okay to wander around? Fool the kids. ”

Fan Li said: "Then what do you say I am doing here?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "Our brothers are all people who know their roots. Do you still need me to say it? It's normal for you to appear in the Qi country, because there is something going on in the Qi country. If I see you outside of Qi Country, it's called abnormal. ”

Fan Li said: "According to what you say, isn't my Fan Li a Martian Yankee?" Wherever there is a fire. ”

Wu Zixu said: "Hey! That's a fitting analogy. That's really the way it is. If you're here in half a year's time, I'm sure you're here to play. ”

Fan Li said: "Why is it half a year later? ”

Wu Zixu said: "Because half a year later, when the restoration of Yue Guo is successful, you will be fine, you will not stay in Yue Guo, and that kid Gou Jian will not tolerate you staying in Yue Guo, at that time, you will play everywhere." ”

Fan Li sighed and said, "Brother, you are an understanding person, and Fan Li's affairs can't be hidden from you." You have calculated the date of the restoration of the country so accurately. I don't know if you can be so accurate about your own business. ”

Wu Zixu nodded heavily: "I still have one month to live, no more than five months at most." ”

Fan Li felt sad for a while, looked at Wu Zixu and said, "Brother, if you don't want to die, no one in this world can tell you to die." Why do you have to kill yourself? ”

Wu Zixu said: "Ants are still greedy, let alone humans? I don't want to die either. Although Wu Zixu is very old, he is in good health, and he can still eat three liters of rice in one meal, and it is no problem to live for one or two decades. But I was defeated by myself, and I didn't let myself live. ”

Fan Li shook his head and said, "Brother, you lack an open-mindedness and a kind of freedom. Nothing in the world is what you think it is. Why can't you get out when you get to the tip of the horns? ”

Wu Zixu's face was gloomy, his eyes were blank, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, brother, don't talk about this." It's a troubling topic. ”

Fan Li said: "It's okay, let's talk casually, I'm afraid this is the last time we chat." Can you tell me, why did you come to Qi State? ”

Wu Zixu said: "Death is coming." But he didn't die. Then he told him that the king of Wu had sent him a letter insulting the Marquis of Qi, trying to kill him with the help of the Marquis of Qi.

Fan Li said indignantly: "Fucha is really not a human. If you want to say that you have been talking against him all these years, trying to lead him to the right path and incurring his resentment, it is reasonable to say that he wants to kill you. And what about me Fan Li? In the past 20 years, everything has followed him, whatever he wants, I will give him anything, I want beautiful women, send him to Xi Shi Zheng Dan, and I want to go to the palace, I will repair Gusutai for him. To dominate, I helped him provoke the Wu Qi war. It can be said that I did not disobey him, but in the end, the whole country was sent to hunt me down. How can such a monarch not be chilling. ”

Wu Zixu raised his head, looked at Fan Li, and said, "Brother, you are a smart person, can't you see that King Wu has always been wary of you?" He really just wants you to do things for him, but he never really trusts you. ”

Fan Li said: "My brother sees it too accurately. Fan Li deeply agrees. You can't get his sincerity for this kind of person. Oh, by the way, did you just say that you brought Ling Gongzi to the Qi country for refuge, have you made all arrangements? ”

Wu Zixu said: "This idea is still up to you, brother, for me." I died for Wu Guo, and if I can not affect the children, I will have no worries. As you have taught, I have arranged for Feng'er to live in the Baoxi Mansion. ”

Fan Li said: "This is the best. Dude, what's next for you? ”

Wu Zixu said: "What else can I plan? I'll go back to Wu tomorrow. ”

Fan Li said: "Do you really want to go back?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "I really want to go back." ”

"No," Fan Li said loudly, "I don't agree with you going back, I won't let you go back." Don't you know that King Wu will kill you? ”

"Yes."

"I know you're going to go back and die!"

"I'm going back to stop the war between Wu and Qi."

"Can you stop it?"

"I can't stop it."

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it."

"If you can't stop it, don't you stop it? I, Wu Zixu, am still alive and have a breath. I have to do what I have to do so that I have the face to go to the king! ”

Fan Li's tears flowed down, and he pointed at Wu Zixu and shouted: "Wu Zixu, you are the No. 1 fool in Tianzi!" ”
