Chapter 428: The aftermath of the robbery

The cause and effect of this incident is only known to Fan Li. This was just a small ploy, and his purpose was to get King Wu to allow Yue to build a small emergency army, with a size of several thousand.

The mission of this army is to maintain the normal social order of the country, and its role is equivalent to that of the police force of later generations.

However, the Yue State was still nominally a vassal state of the Wu State, and the establishment of such a team still required the permission of the Wu State.

If it is proposed to King Wu according to the normal procedure, Wu Zixu will definitely obstruct it, and King Wu will also be suspicious, and this matter may not be approved.

If Wu Guo does not approve it, he will not be able to do it, and if he does it hard, it may lead to conflict. And the Yue State is not yet the opponent of the Wu State. We must also continue to keep quiet and wait for the right time.

Now the creation of such a tribute robbery incident first highlights the importance and necessity of establishing a garrison force, and then the request is made, and there is a possibility that it will be approved.

It was none other than Yue Nu Feiyan who robbed the tribute. Fan Li asked her to help with this outside Quyang Village, and Yue Nu successfully completed it.

King Wu said: "Next, I will also talk about one thing, this matter young uncle just came back and don't know yet. A few months ago, someone suddenly broke into the widow's palace and killed one of the chamberlains. On the same night, a woman broke into Gusutai, also with a short sword. She alarmed the Gusutai guards, and a thousand pairs of people provoked torches and surrounded him in the core, but they could not hurt her a single hair. I saw that she used a short sword in her hand, and the cold light shone, and the soldiers fell down one after another, and finally she killed more than 200 people, broke out of the encirclement, and floated away. ”

Fan Li was taken aback: "This kind of thing happened?" He was surprised in his heart, who attacked Gusutai? He did not ask the Yue Nu to attack Gusutai.

Now King Wu can't move, if King Wu is killed, Wu Zixu will hold the military power, and he will support the new monarch, so that the power of the court will fall into the hands of Wu Zixu, although Fan Li will not be killed, he will also be driven away, and Bo Yao will also be taken by Wu Zixu. In that case, it would be completely impossible to infiltrate the court of Wu. And Wu Zixu will increase his efforts to suppress and control the country. Then the great cause of restoring the country will increase many difficulties, and even the time will be far away.

Could it be that the little Yue Nu Yue Ji attacked Gusutai? Yue Ji left the camp of the Vietnamese army, her whereabouts are unknown, and she did not return to the mountains to be with her mother, so she must have wandered the rivers and lakes.

According to King Wu's description, only Yue Nu can have such skills. According to Xiaoyue Nu Yue Ji, the strange women who live in seclusion in the mountains are not only their mother and son, but also a few. They occasionally leave a trace in the world, and they are preached to be gods, and everyone calls them Yue Nu.

They have a common characteristic, that is, they don't cause trouble, and only when the injustice in the world hits their eyes, they will take care of it, and the matter is over. Immediately left, not even a word.

Among them, the one who is more involved in the world is Feiyan and Yue Ji's mother and daughter, Feiyan can rule out that it was the little Yue Nu Yue Ji who attacked Gusutai. But why did Yue Ji attack Gusutai?

Suddenly, Fan Li shuddered, Yue Ji wouldn't have come to Gusutai to find herself, right? What a sin! Why did you get into such a situation?

Fan Li's mind was turning fast, and he didn't know what to do about it.

King Wu said, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"According to the king and the seed store," said Bo Ya, "in both cases, there is a woman who is amazingly capable, could it be the same woman?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "This reminds me of a legend, that is, Yue Nu." Legend has it that occasionally a woman with very high ability suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, and then disappeared. ”

"I've heard such legends too. If it weren't for the Yue Nu, who would have been able to kill more than 200 people under the siege of a thousand people, and then leave calmly? ”

King Wu said: "Our Wu Kingdom has never offended these worldly masters, why should they trouble the widows? ”

Fan Li said: "These things are unpredictable, and she attacked Gusutai, not necessarily because we offended him. ”

King Wu said, "Why is that? ”

Fan Li said: "It's because we don't know. ”

King Wu said: "Young uncle also learned to talk nonsense!" ”

He said, "The minister thinks that the safety of the king comes first. Will Yue Nu come back in the future? None of us knows. If the Yue Nu attacks again, who can guarantee the safety of the king? Therefore, the minister proposed that the young doctor should still be on duty in Gusutai as the king's imperial guard. ”

Fan Li said: "Everyone knows Fan Li's ability, and I am not afraid of fighting with generals from various countries, but compared with Yue Nu, my ability is far worse." Dazai, can I guarantee the king's safety? ”

Bo Yao smiled and said: "If you want to talk about fighting with Yue Nu, none of us have that ability." But the young man has a good brain, and he has a way, and he can do many things that we think can't be done. To protect the safety of the king, it is not to fight with the Yue Nu, but to compare wisdom with the Yue Nu. ”

When Bo Yao said this, King Wu looked at Fan Li nervously, he didn't know if Fan Li had promised to continue to protect his safety.

Fan Li sighed and said, "Dazai-sama said this, so that Fan Li can't refuse, originally to protect the safety of the king, it is the responsibility of a courtier." What more can I say? The courtiers should do everything in their power to keep the king safe. ”

King Wu laughed and said, "It's still the young man who knows my heart." ”

Wu Zixu glanced at Fan Li and didn't speak, he actually completely agreed with Bo Yao's words, I'm afraid that only Fan Li can do this, he can't stand it when he walks around the mountain with a sword at night.

King Wu said: "What do you think about the robbery of the tribute of the Yue Kingdom? ”

Bo Yao said: "The tribute has been robbed, and there is nothing we can do?" A few robbers are hiding in the mountains and forests, where to find them? If you want to investigate their whereabouts, you have to send a master to visit all over the place, and even drill around in the mountains and forests. ”

Wu Zixu said: "The old minister thinks that the symbolic meaning of the tribute is greater than his actual value. Wu Guo is not short of that little thing. We don't have to try to get that bit back. We don't have to do anything, let's see how King Yue handles this. ”

Bo Yao immediately picked up and said, "I agree with Xiangguo's statement. This is exactly a test of the attitude of the king of Yue, is it to re-prepare the tribute to be sent, or to fool the past silently? Then it's up to him to do it. ”

King Wu nodded and said, "Young Uncle, what do you think?" ”

Fan Li smiled and said: "The minister used to work under the king of Yue, and when it came to the topic of Yueguo, Fan Li was not good at talking. ”

King Wu said: "There are no taboos! If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Fan Li said: "The minister has been in Yue for many years, and with Fan Li's understanding of King Yue, King Yue is the kind of person who must believe in his words and act fruitfully. Fan Li predicted that the robbery of the tribute would have a great impact on the country. King Yue should have sent someone to Wu to explain the situation recently. ”

Bo Yao said: "Are you so sure that King Yue will definitely send people again? ”。

Fan Li smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, just wait and see." ”

As he was talking, someone reported: "The Minister of Yue asked to see the Chinese doctor!" ”
