Fan Li and Zimei had dinner with King Yue and his wife in the stone house, chatted for a while, and then went back to the post house to rest.

He asked King Yue to communicate the situation with Wen when he returned, and be prepared, so that once he needed help in the construction of Gusutai, Yue Guo would respond quickly.

Zimei said to Fan Li: "Fan Jun, don't you think you should go and meet Queen Yayu?" ”

Fan Li said, "Didn't we just come back from the stone house? ”

Zimei smiled: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you know what I mean." ”

Fan Li smiled and shook his head again: "Zimei, I know what you mean, but I always have a sense of guilt in my heart, and I feel that it is wrong to do this." After all, we are a monarch and a minister. ”

Zimei said: "That's right, you are a monarch and a minister. King Yue and Yayu are husband and wife, but King Yue used this relationship to hurt Yayu, and you became the spiritual pillar of Yayu's life. If you stick to secular etiquette, you will hurt Yayu again. ”

Fan Li said: "Things make you say this, and it becomes complicated. ”

Zimei said, "Do you hate Yayu? ”

Fan Li said: "Stupid, how could I hate her." ”

Zimei said, "Do you like her?" ”

Fan Li said: "I like it, but it's ......"

Zimei said: "There's nothing but, go ahead, she's in the next room, let go of the door and go in." ”

Fan Li said: "Zimei, I don't understand you, are you-"

Zimei's face flushed: "You want to say, am I not jealous at all?" You've forgotten who I am. I am a person from outside the world, and I am involved in this matter, firstly, to repay my kindness, and secondly, I feel very happy. Worldly emotions don't affect me much. ”

When it was almost dawn, Yayu got dressed. He said, "Brother, I'm leaving." ”

Fan Li said: "I'll send you back." ”

Yayu said: "No need, Zimei said, go out of this door and go back to my room." ”

Fan Li didn't know how Zimei got it. How could she get Yayu from King Yue's side, and King Yue didn't notice it at all?

Zimei came in and said with a smile: "Fan Jun, can you have fun?" ”

Fan Li said: "Zimei, I will obey you." Let's not discuss the details, okay? ”

The two of them had breakfast, rode out of the meeting, and walked on the dirt road in the country. In the distance, a gray green hill grew taller, and by noon they were not far from the mountains.

Zimei said: "Where do we go to find people who can be engineers? Is there a goal? ”

Fan Li said: "No, there is no goal at all. ”

Zimei said: "Just go by the horse? ”

Fan Li said: "Of course not. Let's go to Wu Ban and Gongsun Zhi and ask them to give us clues, he should know who else in the world can be engineers. ”

Zimei said: "This method is good. Hey, look—"

Where the mountains and plains meet, a military camp appears. This is the general of Wu Wang Sun Xiong led tens of thousands of troops stationed here, supervising and guarding the Yue State, so that not a single soldier of the Yue State appears, so that the Yue State will not be able to resist the King of Wu, and can only be a vassal state of the Wu State forever.

What a shame!

As long as Wu's army is not withdrawn, Yue will never be able to become a sovereign and independent country. This is a big mountain that weighs on the head of the Yue country.

Fan Li thought of Japan in later generations. After Japan's defeat in World War II, the United States stationed troops in Japan, and Japan itself could only have a limited number of Self-Defense Forces. When it comes to the security and defense of the country, we can only act according to the colors of the United States.

This kind of thing happened between Wu and Yue more than 2,000 years ago, and what is worse than Japan is that Yue does not even have a self-defense force.

Fan Li said hatefully: "Sooner or later, I will drive you out of the land of Baiyue!" ”

Zimei said: "Fan Jun, shall we go directly through the Wu army camp or bypass from the side?" ”

Fan Li said: "Let's go around, otherwise we will alarm Wang Sunxiong and say a lot of nonsense." ”

The two men struck their horses, turned around, detoured a few miles, crossed the barracks, and entered the mountains.

Suddenly, there was a faint shouting behind him.

Zimei said: "Fan Jun, listen, there is a lot of noise over there in the barracks, what happened?" ”

Fan Li listened for a while and said, "It seems to be chasing someone." ”

Zimei said: "Listening to the voice, it seems to be coming towards us." ”

Fan Li remembered that when he came out to look for Xi Shi, he encountered Wu Jun slaughtering the village and besieging the three heroes of the Chang family. That time, Fan Li came to help, and in the end, the legendary Yue Nu appeared, and all fifty or sixty Wu troops were annihilated.

Could it be that this is happening again?

Fan Li said: "If we encounter the Wu army slaughtering the people again this time, we will rescue us no matter what." ”

Zimei said: "This time is different from that time. At that time, you were a fresh face to Wu Jun, and you killed Wu Jun all, so the news did not leak out. And now it's different. When you took Xi Shi Zheng Dan back to Wu Kingdom, you once stopped at Wang Sunxiong's camp and knocked out a sum of money. Wu Jun knows you. And they all know now that you have become an official in the State of Wu and have become a celebrity of King Wu. Now openly attacking the Wu army, no matter what the outcome is, it will put a big question mark on your identity. So, be sure to do it carefully. ”

Fan Li bit his lip and said, "You're right, but watching Wu Jun brutalize the common people and not take care of it, I will be ashamed for the rest of my life." ”

Zimei said: "Let's take a look at the situation first, and then act at the opportunity." If your identity as Dr. Wu Guo can be exploited, we can also consider starting from another angle. ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, just listen to you, we will act when the opportunity comes." ”

The two of them stopped their horses, only to see that in the woods halfway up the mountainside, the figure was shaking, and a person was carrying something on his back, fleeing quickly in the mountains and forests, followed by a large group of Wu soldiers, each holding a weapon in his hand and chasing.

"Stop! I'll kill you if I run again! ”

But where will the man stand? Or run for your life. But he was carrying something behind him, and it seemed that there was still a bit of weight, which greatly affected his speed. Although there was still some distance between the two sides, in the end he could not escape. There is no doubt that he will be caught by Wu Jun.

Who is he? Why did Wu Jun chase him, and what would Wu Jun do to him if he caught him?

Fan Li waved his hand, and the two of them urged the horses to rush over from the side.

The person who escaped ran as hard as he could, and the pursuer knew that he could not run away and did not chase desperately, so the distance was shortened very slowly. But it's still shortening.

"Stop, don't run!"

Suddenly, the person who ran away slipped under his feet, fell, and slid down the hillside, stopping in front of Fan Li and Zimei's horses. The man got up, and was about to run, when he stopped again. It turned out that dozens of Wu soldiers had already surrounded him.

Fan Li said: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'll help you." He raised his head and shouted to those Wu soldiers: "Listen, are you Wang Sunxiong's C, I am Fan Li, don't you know me?" ”

The soldier said, "We know you, Master Fan." ”

Fan Li said, "What are you doing? ”

The soldier said, "We are catching spies." ”

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance. The soldier said, "Our general is here." ”
