King Wu and Wu Zixu led the army to the battle. Fan Li and Bo Yao watched the army go all the way. The two turned their horses' heads and slowly walked towards Gusu.

In February in the south of the Yangtze River, spring has arrived, and wildflowers on the roadside are rushing to bloom. The willow trees have grown tender yellow leaf buds, and the wheat seedlings are raising their heads in the fields. The mountains and forests are also getting greener.

Seeing that Fan Li didn't speak for a long time, Bo Yao comforted: "Brother, don't be sad, although you failed to serve the old man with filial piety during his lifetime, but this time when you go back, you can marry and keep filial piety." ”

Fan Li said: "Thank you, my lord, for comforting me. I promise the king that I will return as soon as I can. ”

Bo Yao said: "Bo Yao said something from the heart, you don't have to stick to this promise, you don't see that the current vassal states, the flow of talent is very frequent, if you have a better place to go, you can go elsewhere." ”

Fan Li shook his head: "Fan Li is not the kind of person who thinks differently, you know, when I do something, I must do it to the end." I'll be back. ”

"I knew it was like that," he said. Brother, don't worry, whether you are here or not, I will help you, if there is anything, you can just talk to me. ”

Fan Li looked at Bo Yao and said, "After I left, something happened in the Wu Kingdom, King Wu and Wu Zixu were not there, only you can make a decision." When the time comes, I hope you make the right decision. ”

"Brother, can you tell me what will happen?" ”

Fan Li shook his head and said, "I don't know what will happen, but I have a hunch that something will happen." ”

"I know, I'll weigh it up when the time comes." ”

While speaking, he entered Gusu City. "When are my brothers going to leave?" ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li is a single, and he can go at any time." Unlike you, Dazai-sama, you have a big family and a big business, and you have so many ties. I'm going to leave tomorrow. ”

Bo Yao smiled: "You are still so free and easy." Otherwise, you go to my house tonight, and we will have a drink, and the right to practice it for you. ”

Fan Li said, "Thank you, sir." Please remember my entrustment. I'm leaving. ”

With that, he patted the horse's back and ran to the front. Bo Yao looked at Fan Li's back thoughtfully, and said to himself: "What happened to Wu Guohua? ”

Fan Li returned to the palace of King Wu, and someone went to ride a horse. There was no Xi Shi in the palace, and the king of Wu went on an expedition again. Only Gou Yu still lives in the palace. A huge palace that looks deserted.

He returned to his hut, which had been uninhabited for a long time, and when the door opened, there was a faint musty smell. He has nothing to lose, and there is nothing to clean up, and there is a small bag in the corner of the wall, which contains five catties of gold rewarded by King Wu, and this one must be taken away. And he brought back a large bag of jewelry from the country of Yi, this one will also be taken away. Can't be cheaper.

There's nothing else to clean up. He sat on the bed in a daze, this hut he had lived in for more than ten years, he was about to leave, whether he would come back again, he might not know.

The door opened, and Zimei walked in. Fan Li said: "Zimei, aren't you in Gusutai?" How did you get back to the palace? ”

Zimei said, "I knew you were looking for me, so I came over." ”

Fan Li smiled: "In the end, it is an immortal family." ”

Zimei came over and leaned on Fan Li: "Fan Jun, are you leaving?" I feel like you're leaving. I'm a little reluctant to get you. ”

Fan Li took Zimei in his arms and said, "I may have to come back." ”

Zimei said: "Fan Jun, with my hunch, our fate will be over in three to five years at most, and these three to five years will also be less together and more away, so I cherish every moment with you." ”

Fan Li said: "Don't say stupid things, we will always be together and will not be separated." ”

Zimei smiled sadly: "Your career has entered the fast lane, and it can be completed in three to five years at most, and at that time, I will have to leave you." ”

Fan Li said: "Are you saying that our great cause of restoring the country can succeed in three to five years? ”

Zimei nodded: "This can't be wrong." ”

Fan Li said: "At that time, we can go away and fly high, but we can live a peaceful life with peace of mind, why do you say that you want to leave me?" ”

Zimei lowered her head, lowered her head, and dripped two teardrops: "Fan Jun, you don't understand this, please don't ask." Fan Li's heart was suddenly full of parting sadness, hugged Zimei tightly, and murmured: "I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go......"

Zimei raised her head and said, "Fan Jun, do you have anything else you want me to help with?" ”

Fan Li said: "I want to see Mrs. Gou Huang now. ”

Zimei left Fan Li's arms, straightened her hair, and said, "Gou Yu is a poor woman, you should meet her." Don't go in this hut, he'll be here in a moment. ”

Zimei walked to the door, turned around and smiled: "Don't worry about talking to her, no one can see you." ”

Zimei is gone. Fan Li sat dumbfounded. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Gou Yu walked in, Fan Li hurriedly got up: "Minister Fan Li to meet Mrs.!" ”

Gou Yu was stunned for a moment, stepped forward, and helped Fan Li up: "There is no use for others here, why do you want to make such a big gift?" ”

Fan Li said: "You are the queen's wife, and Fan Li is a courtier." ”

Gou Yu said a little desolately: "Do you really think I'm some kind of bullshit queen? Does the queen live like a ghost? ”

Fan Li didn't know what to say. Gou Yu said: "You are two years older than me, didn't I say yes, I call you brother, do you call me sister?" ”

Fan Li looked at Gou Yu's eager gaze, and suddenly his heart softened. Why can't this poor woman, who has only such a small wish, be fulfilled by her? So he said, "My sister ......."

Gou Yu suddenly burst into tears: "Brother, since you were busy building Gusutai, you rarely came to see me. ”

Fan Li said guiltily: "But I often think about my sister in my heart." ”

Gou Yu raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and smiled sadly: "Is my brother telling the truth?" ”

Fan Li said: "Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would I see you today? ”

Gou Yu sighed faintly and said, "That's it, my brother often thinks of me, and my sister's life is worth it." By the way, why did my brother come to see me today? ”

Fan Li paused for a while and said, "Sister, I'm leaving." ”

Gou Yu was taken aback: "Brother, you're leaving, where are you going?" Will you ever come back. Will Gou still see you? ”

Fan Li said: "My father has passed away, I have to go back to bury my father, I don't know if I can come back, but I think we will meet again." ”

Gou Yu was stunned. He didn't speak for a long time.

Fan Li said: "Sister, when I see you today, I have something to say to you." But I don't know how to talk about it. ”

Gou Yu raised her head and looked at Fan Li, her white face still had a girlish innocence, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes. She is still so beautiful, both painful and loved. She said, "Whatever my brother wants to say, just say it." ”。

Fan Li said emotionally and sadly: "Fan Li wants to say sorry to my sister, you are all Fan Li's harm like this, you and King Wu are living well, it was Fan Li who found Xi Shi Zheng Dan to return you like this." You should scold me, you should hate me. I'm sorry sister. I'm going to tell you this because I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it in the future. ”

Gou Yu suddenly smiled: "Brother, what do I want to say?" Did I hate you? No. I have no other feelings for you than to miss you endlessly, and perhaps I should be glad that things have turned out like this, and I have a brother worth missing. As he spoke, the tears began to flow.
