Outside the mountain hut, the king of Chu and his guards set up camp, and the small courtyard became a harem, except for Fan Li, the king of Chu, others were not allowed to enter and leave at will.

The king came, the logistics also followed, and the supplies of life were sent one after another. Fan Li no longer has to find a way to cook for Mi Xing.

Mi Xing only needs Fan Li to spend the night with her, which makes Fan Li a little embarrassed, but the king of Chu doesn't care, he is used to this baby daughter, and he obeys his daughter's words.

Fan Li had already told Mi Xing about the purpose of his visit. When everything was ready, Mi Xing said to the king of Chu: "Father, you can talk to Fan Li's eldest brother in another room." I'm going to sleep. ”

King Chu and Fan Li quietly came to another room, and the two of them saluted each other and sat down. Fan Li said: "Your Majesty, why did you find this place until now?" I'm worried that I won't be able to go to Yingdu to report the news. ”

The king of Chu said: "Our daughter fell off the cliff, and we searched for a day and a night, and we only saw his horse under the cliff, but she was gone. We analyzed that she may have been rescued by someone, or she may have been injured by a wild beast. If you are injured by a wild beast, you can definitely find torn clothes and bodies around. We searched a wide area around us, but there was no trace. I was sure that he had been rescued. ”

Fan Li said: "Your analysis is very reasonable. ”

The king of Chu said: "The most reassuring thing is that if she is rescued, then she must be alive, because if she dies, no one will take her away." No one is going to take a corpse away, that's pointless. ”

Fan Li said: "That's really the reason. ”

The king of Chu said: "We expanded the scope of search, but there has been no trace. As soon as it was dawn today, there was a beautiful young man who called himself Zihua outside the palace and asked to see him, saying that Dr. Fan Li had saved Princess Huilan and was taking care of her in the mountains. He told us where the hut was, and he left. I led the men and horses to come, and sure enough, I found you. Thank you so much, Dr. Fan. ”

Fan Li said: "The king doesn't have to be polite. Fan Li was originally from Chu. But he failed to serve his homeland, and today he saved Princess Huilan, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of his homeland. ”

The king of Chu said: "Fan Li's name spread all over the world, but unfortunately the first king failed to reuse it, and letting Mr. go away from the country is also a big loss for the Chu country." After the defeat of the Yue army, Mr. followed the king of Yue into Wu as a slave, and such sincerity moved heaven and earth. ”

Fan Li sighed deeply and said: "The minister was incompetent and failed to persuade the king of Yue to stop his army, so that the king of Yue launched a wrong war, which led to the destruction of the kingdom of Yue. The minister felt guilty. ”

The king of Chu said, "You can't be blamed for this. Although he is widely famous, he is actually stubborn and self-serving, and he does not listen to advice. ”

Fan Li nodded and said, "Your Majesty knows people." The name of His Majesty's benevolence is also spread all over the world, and it is really touching to eat leeches and favor the kitchen. ”

Once when the king of Chu was eating, he found a leech in the cold sauerkraut, and he quietly swallowed the leech without making a noise. After that, I got sick in my abdomen and couldn't eat. Ling Yin asked the king of Chu how he got this disease. The king of Chu replied: "I was eating cold sauerkraut and found leeches, and I thought to myself, if this matter is made public, then the cook and the person in charge of the meal should be executed according to the law. If you blame the cooks and don't punish them, it is a practice that breaks the law and makes it impossible to establish one's own majesty. I was afraid that everyone would know about it, so I quietly ate the leeche. ”

Ling Yin left his seat, bowed again and congratulated, "I heard that the way of heaven has no intimacy, only helps the virtuous. The king is virtuous and depends on the help of heaven, and sickness does not cause harm. That night, when King Chu Hui went to the toilet, he expelled the leeches, and at the same time, all the diseases that had been suffering from clumps in his heart and abdomen for many years were also cured.

King Chu said with a smile: "It turns out that Doctor Fan also knows about this little thing. ”

Fan Li praised from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty is virtuous, who in the world does not respect it?" ”

The king of Chu said, "Doctor Fan, there is one thing I don't understand. You followed King Yue into Wu as a slave, and King Yue returned to China, but you stayed in Wu and served King Wu. Not to mention that this is a widow, even the people of the world can't figure it out. ”

Fan Li smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the State of Wu defeated the State of Chu and destroyed the State of Yue. The country of Chu is my homeland, and the king of Yue is my monarch. Do you say that I am in Wu to earn his salary, or are I greedy for the official position of the palace guard? ”

Fan Li said: "People in the world are confused, let them be confused, but I can tell the truth to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty will keep it secret from the outside world." ”

The king of Chu said: "Doctor Fan can trust the widow as much as possible. You say. ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li's purpose in staying in Wu is to restore the king of Yue. Because if he does not bring down the state of Wu, the threat to the state of Chu is too great, and the state of Yue will always be his vassal state. ”

The king of Chu said: "What is the intention of Dr. Fan to come to Chu this time? ”

Fan Li said: "My father passed away and went home to mourn, this is the first point. The second point is to come to meet His Majesty and tell him important information, which can also be said to be an important opportunity for the Chu State. ”

Regarding national affairs, the king of Chu became serious: "Doctor Fan, please continue." ”

Fan Li said: "At present, King Wu and Wu Zixu have led their troops to attack Qi, dispatched 100,000 troops, and there are 20,000 sailors. In other words, all the armies of Wu that could fight were dispatched. Now the rear of the state of Wu is empty. Gusu only Dazai Boyao presided over the state affairs alone. This is a great opportunity for revenge for both Chu and Yue. It's a pity that the Yue State is controlled by the Wu State and does not have a single soldier. And the state of Chu can take advantage of the opportunity. I hope the king will not miss this opportunity. ”

King Chu's brows furrowed, obviously thinking nervously. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Thank you, Dr. Fan, for providing such a top-secret information." This is a big deal, let the widow think about it. ”

Fan Li said: "What is Your Majesty worried about? ”

The king of Chu said: "Wu has Wu Zixu training army, Wu army is very powerful, this time to attack Qi, if you win the battle, the combat effectiveness will be even stronger, I heard that the Chu State is coming, waving the army to the south, and the Chu State will have a bloody battle." The widow thinks that he is not very sure of victory. ”

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty's worries are very reasonable. But Fan Li still advocated that His Majesty send troops. If His Majesty sends troops, it will also reduce the pressure on the country and give the country a chance to develop. If the Yue State develops, the strength of the Wu State will be divided into a part to guard against the Yue State, which is beneficial to the Chu State. His Majesty is worried that the army of Wu will attack, so he can send troops without fighting, pretending to be a big battle, but avoiding fighting. Or do some tentative offense. Stop studying after learning just a little. ”

The king of Chu said: "This idea is not bad, it is worth considering. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard Mi Xing shouting: "What about people, is there anyone?" ”。

King Chu panicked, and hurriedly ran with Fan Li: "Baby, my father is here, what's the matter with you?" ”

Mi Xing said: "How's the talk?" Are you going to send troops or not? If you don't want to send troops, I won't eat tonight. ”
