Night permeated the capital. The door of Caiyun's shop opened softly. Fan Li walked out. It's a remote place, and there will be no pedestrians.

Fan Li walks close to the houses on the street, and when encountering a situation, he can hide in the shadows of the houses on the street at any time.

How a country is doing can be seen from the streets. As the capital of a big country, there were no people on the streets of Gusu soon after dark. The economic decline of Wu is related to the grain harvest, and it is also very related to the large amount of grain sucked up by the Quyang burn.

Fan Li walked through two streets, and in front of him was a tall mansion, which was Xiangguo Mansion.

When Wu Zixu was besieging Fan Li with Zhang Gong, he just urged the horse to arrive. He didn't want to hurt Fan Li, but he just persuaded him with good words, and then got Fan Li back to raise him, and didn't let Fan Li do anything unfavorable to Wu Guo again, and he would achieve his goal.

couldn't open the bow, the secret arrow hurt people, and secretly shot Fan Li with an arrow. Just as everyone gathered around and wanted to make a move on Fan Li, Yue Nu appeared, a short sword killed people like cutting radishes and vegetables, and in a blink of an eye, more than fifty Wu soldiers were killed without one left.

Fortunately, Wu Zixu saw that the situation was not good, and he beat the horse and left first, so he escaped with his life. In fact, if Yue Nu hadn't been worried about Fan Li and chased him, he wouldn't have been able to run away.

This incident made Wu Zixu frightened, Fan Li got such a master's help, so what else could not be done?

This incident also made Wu Zixu disheartened, he no longer wanted to send people to harass wineries everywhere, let him go, Wu couldn't take care of it.

Since he was last called by Bo Yao because of the burning of Quyang, King Wu has never summoned him again. If there is anything, King Wu and Bo Yao discussed it, and they didn't think of asking Wu Zixu's opinion at all.

He knew that the contradiction between himself and King Wu was irreconcilable. King Wu didn't punish him, just because he still had the last bit of use.

What he can do is to strengthen the training of the army, as long as the army of Wu is still strong enough, Wu will not be destroyed, in his lifetime, Wu will not be destroyed, he will be worthy of the first king.

Every day when he returned home from the barracks, he was depressed and extremely sad. After sitting alone in the study for a while, I went to sleep, and people in their seventies were tired enough to work all day and night.

At this time, Wu Zixu was sitting alone in the study, and suddenly the door opened gently, and as soon as he looked up, he suddenly jumped up in surprise, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to draw his sword. Because he saw an unexpected person - Fan Li.

Fan Li smiled lightly: "Old friends, don't move, why do you want to fight as soon as you meet?" ”

Wu Zixu's hand was slowly put back, embarrassed and surprised: "You...... Not yet...... Are you healed? ”

Fan Li sat down with a big grin and laughed softly: "I didn't expect it, I'm not dead yet." I should have died, but when I thought that my brother was still suffering in the world, I came back to accompany you. ”

Wu Zixu said: "You know, it wasn't my intention to shoot your arrow with a bow. Since I said I won't kill you, I won't kill you. ”

Fan Li said: "There is no need to explain, even if that is your intention, it is not wrong, because you and I are still enemies after all." You don't have to apologize. You don't owe me anything. ”

Wu Zixu said: "I said that you may not believe it, I died nine times and escaped with my life, but I am most concerned about you, I always think, did that arrow kill you?"

Fan Li said: "I believe it, why don't you believe it." As a friend, you should be concerned about me. But I want to explain that Zhang Gong's arrow almost killed me, but I am still alive, but the lives of your dozens of soldiers are really gone, including himself, of course. If he hadn't shot my arrow, no one would have died, and we would have left safely. Because Yue Nu is not a murderous person. ”

Wu Zixu exclaimed: "That Yue Nu? ”

Fan Li said: "That's right, that's Yue Nu." ”

Wu Zixu said: "It's strange, why doesn't Yue Nu help you and not help me?" ”

Fan Li smiled: "Although Yue Nu is a person outside the world, there is also a judgment of right and wrong, right?" Dozens of you bullied the three of us, and one of them was a girl, which is an obvious bully, who do you say he won't help me? ”

Wu Zixu sighed: "Brother, I kind of believe in fate, if you don't deserve to die, you can't die no matter how much you toss." ”

Fan Li said: "This is called the way of heaven cannot be violated. ”

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." My brother came to visit late at night, what did he have to say? ”

Fan Li said: "Will you believe what I said? In fact, I have always been at ease with you in my heart, and I have always been worried about you. I'm here to see how you're doing. ”

Wu Zixu said sadly: "You don't need to say it, you can guess that I, Wu Zixu, have not had a comfortable day since then." ”

Fan Li said: "Yes, I can guess. King Wu can't listen to you anymore. He doesn't discuss anything with you, but if there is anything, he can discuss it with Bo Ya. You can only stay in the barracks every day. Isn't that so? ”

Wu Zixu said: "That's right. ”

Fan Li said: "The contradiction between you and King Wu is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no room for reconciliation. You don't have what it takes to turn the tide. You can only watch the state of Wu decay day by day, and you are only adding to your troubles, and you can't do anything. ”

Wu Zixu said sadly: "I never thought that I would come to this step. ”

Fan Li said: "Is he really worth your life like this?" If you say, you have been doing things with him all these years, but I have been doing things with him, and he used to be very fond of me, but what is the result? The people who killed me when it didn't go their way even went their way hunted me down with the strength of the whole country. Huh? What do you mean? What about love? ”

Wu Zixu looked at Fan Li and said sadly: "Brother, I'm actually not fighting for King Wu anymore, I'm fighting for myself." For my evening, for my faith. ”

Fan Li said loudly: "Don't be stupid, brother, no one will care about you, no one will take you seriously." You're making your own feelings. Let's go, there's nothing to be nostalgic about. If you leave here, you may have twenty years to live. ”

Wu Zixu stood up and said word by word: "Wu Zixu is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" I was born as a native of Wu, and I died as a ghost of Wu. King Wu will kill me if he has the ability. I will not leave the kingdom of Wu until I die. ”

Fan Li said disdainfully: "I'm not worth it for you." You're over 70 years old, and you're already in your old age, but what about your son? What is his sin? Why do you want him to bury you? Fan Li risked his life and came to persuade you. I'll tell you what happened, if you fall into the hands of King Yue, maybe you won't die, but King Wu won't let you go, and he won't let go of your family, you were able to give up the Chu State at the beginning, why can't you give up the Wu State now? ”。

These words poked Wu Zixu's sore spot every sentence, he lowered his head, waved his hand and said, "Brother, please don't say it." He bowed his head in pain and covered his face with his hands. After a long time, when I raised my head, my eyes were empty, and Fan Li was long gone.

The oil lamp may have run out of oil, but after a few adjustments, it went out with a "poof", and it was dark in front of me.
