King Yue said: "Young uncle, can you be sure that there is really a beautiful girl in the world like you say?" ”

Fan Li said: "The minister can't be sure. But the minister speculated that there should be. ”

King Yue said: "You can't be sure if there is such a beautiful girl in the world, so you promise King Wu to find such a girl for him." Are you sure you can accomplish such a mission? ”

Fan Li said: "The minister is not sure. But the minister had to do it. ”

King Yue said: "What if there is really a girl like this in the world, but you can't find it?" Or there is no such girl in the world, where do you go to find it? ”

Fan Li said: "The minister doesn't know what to do. But the minister couldn't think of any other way to rescue Queen Yayu from the Wu Palace. However, the minister said to King Wu that there is no time limit, because I don't know where such a beautiful girl is. King Wu promised me that there was no time limit, when to find a beautiful woman, and when to return to the palace. ”

King Yue said: "Young uncle, if you really can't find such a beauty, don't come back, run for your life to the ends of the earth." You go back to the Yue Kingdom, discuss with Wen Chong, set up another king, and then try to restore the country. ”

Fan Li cried and fell to his knees: "Why did the king say this? Fan Li is not the kind of person who is disloyal and unrighteous, as long as you are alive, Fan Li will not set up a new king. As long as you are alive, Fan Li will return to the king no matter whether he finds a beautiful woman or not. ”

King Yue pulled up Fan Li: "Young uncle, no matter whether the restoration of the country can succeed or not, the widow is happy to have a virtuous minister like you." ”

Fan Li: "After Fan Li leaves, the king should take care of himself, I have already explained to Sima Zhe that I must ensure the safety of the king." I have also told General Fuying of the Spring Breeze Inn, and they will also send forces to protect the king. ”

King Yue said, "Young uncle, you can go with confidence." The widow's situation is much better now, and the widow knows that what he has to do now is to do nothing and wait for you to come back. ”

Fan Li said: "The king said this, the minister is relieved, now the king has the salary of the doctor, and there is no need to do the work of raising horses, just rest in the cemetery, and wait for the minister to come back." For the intimate care of the kings around these soldiers, the king gave them some gifts appropriately. ”

King Yue said, "This widow knows. ”

On the eve of leaving Gusu, Fan Li saw Yayu again. Tell her that she was ordered by King Yue to go out to find a beautiful woman, replace Yayu with this beauty, and let her return to King Yue.

Yayu said, "Brother, be careful all the way. You bothered your sister so much, and my sister didn't know how to thank you. ”

Fan Li said: "Sister, don't say words of thanks. For the sake of the king, in order to restore the country, Fan Li did something that should be done. Sister take care, wait for my good news. ”

Fan Li hugged Yayu: "I'm leaving." "With a shake of his body, he went up to the roof and melted into the night.

Fan Li walked out of Gusu City and walked in the vast countryside. Although Wu was the victorious country, the suffering brought by the war to the common people was still very serious.

That night, he stayed in a small village, where his owner had three sons, both of whom had died in the war, and a younger son, who was doing military service. The little land in the family is only cultivated by him and his two widowed daughters-in-law.

Fan Li looked at the two widowed women, and her eyebrows revealed endless sadness and lingering despair.

Fan Li spent the night with a heavy heart, and when he said goodbye the next day, he gave the family a little money.

Within a day, they entered the territory of Vietnam. Because the Yue State was a defeated country, it was sacked by the Wu State, and it was even more devastated and in disarray. The whole countryside is full of widows, old people and children, and it is difficult to see a young man.

Many houses were uninhabited, submerged in weeds, some with open doors and some with collapsed roofs, making them a playground for weasels and wild cats.

Fan Li thought sadly, kings and ministers, in order to compete for interests, they frequently launched wars and forced the people to fight, and in the end, after the war was over, what did the people get?

After winning the war, the common people paid with their lives and blood, but they got nothing, and the princes and nobles would not share the benefits with the common people. If you lose, the people will be even more miserable, ten rooms and nine empty, the land will be barren, and the mourning will be everywhere!

Fan Li hid in the mountains and forests, wandering for a few days, he thought bitterly, he has such knowledge and talent, has such a strong martial arts, and is it worth it to fight for the king so loyally?

In front of me was a clear mountain stream, which was jumping and singing, and flowed through the rocks. The surrounding mountains and forests are verdant and the birds are playing, which is very quiet.

Fan Li squatted at the water's edge, picked up the mountain spring, and drank a few sips. He sat down and rested.

It's a strange thing that he crossed over. Now he rarely recalls his life before crossing over. The profound thoughts of the original owner deeply influenced him. Although he is currently on the cusp of Wu Yue's rivalry, the feeling of being born without action and freedom is always stirring his heart. This was the impetus for him to later complete his book "Fan Lizi".

In a sense, he no longer belongs to himself, he belongs to a belief, a cause, and a big conspiracy, which is the restoration of the country. Will he be able to accomplish this? He doesn't know, but he must move forward without hesitation, maybe this is the fate of the traverser, right?

So far, so good. Through hard work, King Yue's life is no longer in danger, which is the basis of success.

The benefits of the war were taken away by the dignitaries and nobles, while the common people had to bear the serious consequences of the war. That's good. The world is like that, there will never be fairness. But it should also be noted that the state protects the common people. Without the protection of the state, the situation of ordinary people will be even worse. Yue Guo became a slave to the country, and the life of the common people was much worse than that of Wu State. So the conclusion is that it is right to help King Yue restore the country.

When I think about it this way, I feel much more relaxed.

Fan Li stood up. Finding the way out of the mountains and forests, pounced on the avenue, and came to Huiji in a day.

The palace was cleaned and there was no sign of dilapidation, but it was empty and uninhabited. This is the meaning of waiting for the return of King Yue.

Fan Li met Wen Chong and some other courtiers. Fan Li almost didn't recognize these people anymore.

Wen Chong's face was dark, his hands and feet were rough, and his clothes were patched, and he looked like a country farmer. The other ministers also looked like workers. Wen Chong said that the state does not charge a penny of taxes from the common people, and all the expenses of the state are solved by the officials themselves, and in addition to handling state affairs, they also have to farm their own fields to eat.

Fan Li sighed in his heart, his eyes were damp, there was such a group of loyal courtiers in Yueguo, and there was hope for the restoration of the country.

Everyone heard that King Yue's life was not in danger, and everyone rejoiced.

After staying in Huiji for a night, Fan Li left Huiji and embarked on the road of seeking beauty. Where can you find the best beauty in the world?

Yue is located in the southeast hills, there are not many big mountains, and there are many small hills. One day, I was walking in the mountains and forests, and suddenly I heard someone calling: "Help—"
