The night was already deep. Fan Li was lying on the bed, recalling every detail of the meeting with Xi Shi just now, as if she still heard Xi Shi tell her inner pain. She has always lived with a mask. She must hide herself as she really is, and show herself in disguise.

She knows the fox trick taught by Zimei, and it is not difficult to disguise herself. But this is seriously inconsistent with her loyal and kind nature, which makes her very conflicted and painful inside.

Only when she was alone with Zimei Luo Jiang did she take off her disguise and return to her original appearance. Also, when she meets Fan Li, she doesn't need to be charming. It's tiring to perform like this all the time.

What Fan Li didn't expect was that Xi Shi actually pleaded with Fan Li, asking Fan Li to let her husband live on the day of the successful restoration of the country.

This reveals Shih's contradictory and complex emotional world. Fan Li is her first love, and his love for Fan Li is getting stronger and stronger, there is no doubt about it. But she not only gave the first night to her husband, but also spent nearly twenty years in the same bed with her husband. Fucha is really good to her, and all her wishes, including the tasks assigned by Fan Li, can be fulfilled and completed by Fucha. It even took more than ten years to build a Gusutai for her.

It is impossible to say that she has no feelings for her husband.

Fucha is her enemy. But apart from this, he has all the virtues that a good man has. Young, beautiful, knowledgeable, martial arts, gentle, considerate, affectionate, and more importantly, single-minded.

Such a man is either a king or an ordinary person, and a woman will love him with all her heart.

However, Shih Tzu is going to send him to the guillotine!

For Xi Shi, not only did he not have a little joy of victory, but fell into deep pain. Although the success of the restoration is still far away, Xi Shi has already felt that the success of the restoration is an irrevocable thing. He was saddened by the end of his husband's errand. At this time, it is not strange to plead with Fan Li for the sake of her husband.

Fan Li didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply got out of bed and walked out of the door, outside, the moonlight was like water, and it was even brighter. There was silence in the park. This large-scale complex is in a state of sleep. The night breeze with moisture blew slightly, and the mountains and forests muttered in the wind.

Dragging Wu into the war would be a major turning point in the great cause of recovering the country, and if the plan came to fruition, Wu's army would suffer a heavy setback, and the Wu army stationed in Yue would have to withdraw, and Yue would reorganize its own army. And gradually get rid of the control of Wu State, then things will be much easier.

However, Fan Li did not have the joy of success. He knew that he had traveled from the afterlife and had to help King Yue complete the restoration of the country. He had to. Because history is immutable.

But he didn't know what the point was. He helped Gou Jian, not that Gou Jian was better than Fucha, in fact, these two kings were put together, and Fan Li even preferred Fucha.

But he wants to help Gou Jian eliminate his husband. Although he didn't have the same contradictions and pain as Xi Shi in his heart, he felt that his actions were not worth it!

A sound of soft footsteps sounded all the way from far and near, and a young attendant walked in: "Your Excellency hasn't slept yet?" ”

Fan Li woke up from his reverie: "Oh! Not yet? Is there something wrong with my father-in-law? ”

The waiter smiled lightly: "I'm fine, if you can't sleep, how about finding a place to have a drink?" ”

Fan Li was curious: "Father-in-law wants to invite Fan Li to drink?" ”

The chamberlain said, "How can I be qualified to invite adults to drink?" It's another adult who wants to invite the adults to have a drink and chat. ”

Fan Li said: "Who doesn't sleep at night and still drinks?" ”

The chamberlain said, "Your Excellency will know when you get there, please come with me." ”

Who is it? Fan Li thought it was funny and said, "That's good, lead the way." ”

Gusutai can accommodate 6,000 people to live and run errands here. But only King Wu and Xi Shi are enjoying here, and the hundreds of people below are all serving the two of them, and the big and small yamen of the imperial court are still working in Gusu City. So here is the house.

The chamberlain took Fan Li along those twists and turns and unpredictable paths to an exquisite courtyard. The chamberlain gently pushed open the courtyard door and said, "Your Excellency, please come in." ”

The waiter waited for Fan Li to walk into the small courtyard and gently closed the courtyard door.

The yard is not big, but it is set up very exquisitely, a small rockery, fine flowing water, all kinds of potted plants, and the beautiful scenery that can be thought of is here, but the design is ingenious, not crowded at all.

The lights were on in the house. Bo Yao sat under the lamp, and there were a few delicate side dishes on the table in front of him, and next to it was a small jar of old wine.

Bo Yao stood up and bowed deeply to the end: "Brother is here, please take a seat!" ”

Fan Li hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen adults." ”

Seated. Fan Li said: "I said, Dazai-sama, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of wine are you looking for Fan Li to drink?" ”

Bo Yao said: "The two of us built Gusutai, and we have been together for more than ten years, and we are together every day, talking about engineering matters, and rarely sitting down for a leisurely drink. Bo Yao suddenly felt that he couldn't sleep tonight, why not find Fan Li to drink and chat? So I came to you. It's a bit presumptuous, so forgive me. ”

After that, he picked up the wine jar, poured wine for Fan Li and himself, and said, "Brother, please!" ”

The two of them took a sip of wine. Fan Li said: "My lord, I know you have something to say to me, don't treat me as an outsider, just say it." ”

He said, "Brother, please allow him to tell the truth. In terms of intelligence, Bo Yao is far higher than Wu Zixu, and slightly higher than your brother, as for King Wu, he is just a hillbilly. And a few of us are not on the same level. ”

Fan Li smiled and said, "What do you mean by Dazai?" ”

Bo Yao said: "I said, this is a truth, there is no pride in this statement, there is no show of meaning, and there is no fake politeness on the scene, it is a truth. ”

Fan Li didn't know what he was going to say, so he didn't answer, just looked at Bo Yao with a smile, and waited for him to continue.

Bo Yao sighed faintly and said, "With Bo Ya's cleverness, I can see your intentions at a glance, brother. What about me? I will cooperate with you to your heart's content, because in exchange I have to do it. What you gave me is exactly what I like: Night Pearl, out of print, rare treasures, Jun Chun Sword, out of print, rare treasures, Zheng Dan, out of print, beautiful through the ages. I don't have anything to give you, only to help you do things. ”

Fan Li was a little foggy: "Dazai, you said it, I'm not as smart as you, don't go around, just say it." ”

Bo Yao said: "I will do my best to help you, and encourage King Wu to send troops north to fight a big war with the Qi State." In the future, I can understand all your plans and intentions, and I will fully cooperate with you until your ultimate goal is achieved. Any idea why I'm doing this? Because I can't come back, I'm too deep. ”。

Fan Li said: "My lord, there are no outsiders here, you just say it directly, what do you want to express?" ”

Tears suddenly flowed from Bo Ya's eyes, and he said: "Brother, Bo Ya is a villain, Bo Ya is very despicable, but Bo Ya thinks that he still has merit to you, so Bo Ya dares to beg you here, begging you to let Bo Ya ......live when that day comes."
