Chapter 411: The Bamboo Forest is Deep

King Wu handed over the affairs of the state to Bo Yao to take care of, and he took Xi Shi and a group of palace maids to Gusutai to eat, drink and have fun. Happy Fun.

The Great Battle of Qi and Yue has passed, and although the army of Wu has suffered heavy losses, the losses of Qi have been even more serious, and this is a war with no winners. However, in the subsequent armistice negotiations, Wu received more benefits.

In the west, the army of Chu was ready to move, and Bo Yao transferred Wang Sunxiong's 50,000 troops to the border, reaching a situation of no war and no peace.

The crisis has finally passed.

But this inexplicable war aroused Wu Zixu's suspicions, and he said to King Wu, where Fan Li goes, there will be a war, is this battle provoked by Fan Li? So King Wu sent Wu Zixu to sneak into Chu and go to Fan Li's hometown to see if Fan Li was keeping filial piety at home.

Wu Zixu returned to his homeland in disguise and secretly investigated for a long time, but never obtained useful information. He met Fan Li in Sanhu, and the two opened their hearts and had a long talk.

Wu Zixu returned to Wu and immediately recruited troops to restore the Wu army to its original size. At the same time, secret agents were sent to visit Yue to see if Yue was recruiting troops after the withdrawal of Wu's army.

But after many investigations, there was no news. After more than ten years of careful preparation, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom secretly and quickly formed an army of 100,000 people. And go to no man's land for training.

Later, there was an incident in which Xiaoyue Nu attacked Gusutai at night. A girl of unknown origin suddenly attacked Gusutai, killed and wounded 200 Praetorian Guards, and left easily. King Wu thought of Fan Li again at this time, if Fan Li was there, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.

Bo Yao also felt strange, could it be that Fan Li left Wu in the name of going home to keep filial piety? Bo Yao is a smart person, and he already knows that Fan Li's purpose is to subvert the state of Wu and restore the state of Yue. Ever since he was in the battle, he was dragged into the water by Fan Li. had to listen to Fan Li's command and slide into the abyss step by step.

On this day, Bo Ya was busy with government affairs in the palace for a day, and returned to his mansion with a group of retinues in the evening, and someone led him to ride a horse, so he walked to the backyard.

Suddenly, a man stood up among the flowers.

"Who?" Bo Yao snorted and grasped the handle of the sword in one hand.

The man smiled "poof": "This is in the adult's mansion, do you need to be so nervous?" ”

Only then did Bo Ya let go of the handle of his sword and said, "It turned out to be a young uncle." You can come and see me in the open, why do you meet in this way? ”

Fan Li smiled and said: "I returned to Gusu, and I didn't see the king yet, so I came to see Dazai-sama, so I have to avoid people's eyes." ”

As soon as Bo Yao saw Fan Li, he was uneasy in his heart, he knew that Fan Li would not look for him if he was fine, although Fan Li had to give him some benefits every time he looked for him, but he also had to do things for Fan Li.

"Welcome to visit. Let's have tea in the study. ”、

Fan Li said: "I haven't seen Zheng Dan yet, I want to meet Zheng Dan." I know you hid Zheng Dan in a top-secret place, please take me there to meet Zheng Dan. ”

This is a highly impolite request. I want to meet my relatives in person, what are these words?

But Fan Li's identity is special, and it is not abrupt for him to make such a request. Because Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were found by Fan Li in Ramie Village and brought back to King Wu. Later, in order to buy Bo Ya, he designed to transfer Zheng Dan to Bo Ya.

His offer to meet Zheng Dan seems to be completely legitimate.

Bo Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, please come with me." ”

Bo Yao led Wu Zixu to walk in the wide courtyard, and there was a family member walking on the opposite side, and when he saw that it was Bo Ya, he stood on the side of the road, bowed his head, and waited for the adults to pass before walking again.

The two of them came to the northwest corner of the courtyard and entered the bamboo forest that was not large, but it was planted according to the direction of the eight trigrams. It took a lot of effort for Fan Li to crack the mystery and walk out of this bamboo forest.

This bamboo forest embodies the high wisdom of Bo Ya.

The two walked through the bamboo forest and came to a small courtyard, where Bo Yao knocked on the door. It said, "Here it is, here it is!" "It was the old lady who opened the door," the lord is back. ”

Bo Yao said "um" and said to Fan Li: "Young uncle, please!" ”

Fan Li said: "My lord, please! ”

With a polite word, the two entered the gate and came to the courtyard, and Bo Yao said: "Zheng Dan baby, a distinguished guest has come to see you!" ”

Zheng Dan replied in the house: "It's here!" "The sound is still so crisp and soft. Then, Zheng Dan appeared at the door. As soon as he saw Fan Li walking beside Bo Yao, it was as if he had been immobilized, and he stood there still.

Suddenly, Zheng Dan shouted: "Brother Fan Li!" Ran over and grabbed Fan Li's arm, "Why are you, big brother, I'm not dreaming, right?" "There are no hypocritical etiquette at all, and they are as close as a pair of brothers and sisters.

Bo Yao laughed and said: "Young uncle, I am a little jealous of you, Zheng Dan has always been polite to me, and he has never been so close." ”

Fan Li also smiled: "Sister, I'm just here to see if Dazai-sama has suffered your guilt." ”

Zheng Dan glanced at Bo Yao shyly: "No, adults are very good to me." ”

Fan Li said: "That's good, it's good to see my sister here, and I'm very happy." ”

Zheng Dan and Xi Shi are about the same age, and they are both in their thirties now. But because he is not greedy on weekdays, he insists on practicing swordsmanship every day and does not gain weight. She didn't have any work every day, limited housekeeping, and let the old mother do it, with enough rest and sleep, erasing the traces left by time. She didn't age at all, she just looked mature, graceful and luxurious, and therefore more radiant.

Fan Li said to Bo Yao: "Thank you, my lord, you have taken good care of Sister Zheng Dan." ”

Bo Yao smiled: "Madame is Bo Ya's most beloved person. Can you take care of it without care? ”

Fan Li's sudden arrival made Zheng Dan full of surprise, and he called softly: "My lord, take Brother Fan Li into the house." With that, he took the lead and ran into the house and wiped down the stool.

Bo Yao said, "Young brother, please sit on the ground in the house." ”

When the two entered the house, Zheng Dan took a stool and sat next to Fan Li, and the old mother came in to offer tea.

Only then did Bo Yao realize that Fan Li was holding a black thing in his hand. He said, "Young uncle, what kind of treasure are you taking?" ”

Fan Li put a small black jar on the table and said, "Dazai-sama, I went back to Gusu, and I didn't even see the king, so I came to see you, just to share this with adults." ”

Bo Yao said curiously, "What is this?" ”

Fan Li said: "Good wine." ”

Bo Yao said: "What the young man brought must be a good thing. Stir-fry two dishes, let's taste Shaobo's wine. ”

Zheng Dan said: "I cook it myself. ”

Bo Yao said, "Madame, sit down, let Ding Qi's mother do it." ”。

Zheng Dan said: "No, Brother Fan Li is here, I want to cook for him personally." With that, he ran out.

There was not much time, a few side dishes had been put on the table, Fan Li took the small jar, opened the seal, and Bo Yao took a deep breath: "Oh my God! It smells so good! ”
