Fan Li saw that the army of Qi was dispatched and stationed in Wenshang, just waiting for a war with Wu. said goodbye to Chen Heng. said: "Fan Li is disturbed a lot in Xiangguo, thank you for the hospitality, Fan Li is leaving." ”

Chen Heng saw that Fan Li really had no intention of being an official in the Qi State. It's not very strong to stay. "Where is the gentleman going to go?" ”

Fan Li said: "Duckweed has no roots, how can there be a fixed place?" Believe in the reins, where you go. As long as Xiangguo acts according to the plan, the opponent's power will definitely be weakened, and it may even cease to exist. ”

Chen Heng said: "Mr. has a clever plan, this time I helped Chen Heng, I don't know how to repay him." ”

Fan Li said: "It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it. ”

Mrs. Hengying heard that Fan Li was leaving, and she also brought her maid Tian Ji to see her off.

Fan Li got on the horse and cherished each other, and spurred the horse out of Linzi and came south. There was nothing to say all the way, and in less than a day, at dusk, I entered Gusu City. He led the horse, lowered his cloak to cover his face, and walked slowly, stopping at the inn in the spring breeze.

A fat man came out of the shop and whispered, "General, please come in." ”

This is General Fu Ying, who has been undercover in Wu for a long time. Fan Li said: "You feed my horse, and I will leave when I finish the matter." What did you hear here, didn't you? ”

Fu Ying said: "The army of Wu has been active frequently these days, and I inquired about the doctor Wang Sun Luo, and he said that King Wu is organizing a large army and may want to go north to attack Qi. ”

Fan Li said: "Pay close attention to the movements of the Wu army, and when I am not there, I will quickly send the information back to China." ”

Fu Ying said: "The subordinates obey the order. ”

Fan Li said: "I'm leaving. Maybe I'll come here for the night, maybe I won't. ”

Fuying took the horse to the trough to feed, and cleaned up a room for Fan Li, waiting for Fan Li to move in at any time. Not to mention.

Fan Li walked along the street, turned a few corners, and came to a mansion, and when he looked up, it was Dazaifu. Just as he was trying to get in, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he turned around, he saw Dazai Boyao coming with two retinues on horseback.

Fan Li stood in the middle of the road and said loudly: "Adults don't know the old people? ”

Dazai jumped off his horse, threw the reins to his retinue, waved his hand, and the two attendants led the horse into the Prime Minister's Mansion. He said, "Where did the brothers come from? ”

Fan Li said: "I went to the north and visited several countries. I miss my old friends. Let's meet. ”

Bo Yao said, "Brother, come with me into the house to talk." You pull the cloak down a little bit to disguise it a bit. ”

Fan Li said: "Is there still an informant in the adult's mansion? ”

"No," said Bo Ya, "I am afraid that you will scare them, brother." You don't know, you pointed your sword at King Wu and stirred up a court. ”

Fan Li chuckled softly: "Don't talk about this, I'm here to beg for food tonight." ”

Bo Yao also smiled: "Brother said it was funny." Let's go inside. ”

At this time, it was getting late, and several palace lamps were hung on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Several soldiers stood on either side with weapons. Seeing Bo Yao walking with a guest, everyone bowed their heads and stood solemnly as a sign of respect.

Bo Yao accompanied Fan Li, walked through the porch, walked through the courtyard, entered the small bamboo forest in the northwest corner, turned around, walked through the Bagua Road, and entered the small courtyard. Bo Yao shouted loudly: "Mrs. Zheng Dan, who do you see is coming?" ”

Zheng Dan ran out of the house, and when he saw Fan Li appear in front of him, he was stunned. Biting his lip, the ninja burst into tears, and said for a long time: "Brother Fan Li, you are still here after all." I thought you forgot about Zheng Dan. ”

Fan Li also felt that his eyes were damp, and his heart was agitated, and he said: "Sister Zheng Dan, how could I forget you, didn't I see you coming?" ”

"Come in," said Bo Ya. ”

Entered the house, sat down, and Zheng Dan brought tea. Fan Li went straight into the knife and opened his mouth to ask: "Dazai-sama, tell me about the situation." ”

Dazai said: "The matter of King Wu's Northern Expedition almost went wrong, and Wu Zixu sent spies to finally find out, and Yue Guo formed an army and trained secretly in Nanlin. This incident aroused the vigilance of King Wu, and he also had a plan to use troops against Yue. At this time, Mr. Zigong came, and under his persuasion, King Wu made up his mind to go on the Northern Expedition, and in order to reassure King Wu, Mr. Zigong made a special trip to Yue State, mobilized Yue State to send some war materials to Wu State, and also sent 10,000 troops to be commanded by King Wu to help the Northern Expedition. This time, King Wu was completely unwary of Yue. Recently, they are preparing intensively for war, and they are only waiting for a rendezvous with the Vietnamese army, and they will start to attack together. ”

Fan Li nodded and said, "Your Excellency has done a good job." According to my judgment, in the battle between Qi and Wu, Wu will win, because although Qi is strong, they do not have a commander like Wu Zixu to train the army, and they can't defeat the Wu army. When the Wu army was victorious, the lord pushed the king of Wu to move westward and coerce the Jin state alliance, so that the husband was addicted to the overlord. Do you understand what I mean? ”

"I know what my brother means, so it will give you more time. Come to the old nest of King Wu. So what do I do? ”

Fan Li said: "There is a period of time, and it is also the most chaotic and dangerous time. You have to absolutely guarantee the safety of Zheng Dan's sister, if something happened to him, I will ask you. ”

"Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to ensure Madame's safety," said Bo Yao. ”

Fan Li said: "You have made enough money and wealth, and you can't spend it in a few lifetimes." Don't try to be an official anymore. As soon as the fighting ceases, you will immediately retire and enjoy your blessings. ”

Bo Yao said: "Brother, what do you say King Yue will do to me? ”

Fan Li looked at Bo Yao and said, "If you are smart, you are much better than me." In the midst of that chaotic army, you can count on no one, take care of yourself. You know? ”

Bo Yao's expression was gloomy, nodded, and said, "I know." ”

At this time, Zheng Dan delivered the meal. Over the years, she has nothing to do, that is, practicing swords, stroking the piano, practicing female celebrity, and the rest of the time is to study cooking.

Bo Yao took out a jar and came, opened the seal, the fragrance of wine filled the room, and the authentic Quyang burned. Fan Li praised: "It's really good wine." Adults still have collections. ”

"Two months ago, the general sales office suddenly ran out of stock, and when I went to urge it again, I found that the boss there was gone, and the helper was gone, so the business stopped. ”

Fan Li said: "You are content, you make a lot of money!" ”

Bo Yao said: "Actually, this money was earned by you you and me, brother." When I saw that the business had stopped, I got a little bit back, hid it and drank it slowly. I'm afraid there will be no such good wine in the world. ”

In fact, true distilled spirits did not appear until the Song Dynasty a thousand years later.

Zheng Dan poured wine for everyone and said, "Brother, seeing you tonight, Zheng Dan is really happy in his heart." It's about to be a mess, and this may be the last meal we'll have together. ”

Fan Li said: "Sister Zheng Dan, why do you talk like this? I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't do my best to protect you, so you must protect yourself during this time. I'll come back to see you when things work out. ”

Zheng Dan no longer concealed his emotions, two tears quietly dripped down, his face was desolate, and he said, "Brother, don't worry, I will protect myself." You can do your own thing with peace of mind, and don't worry about your little sister. ”

Bo Yao didn't understand the sorrow in Zheng Dan's heart, and said, "Madam, Brother Fan Li should be happy to come to see you." ”

Zheng Dan ignored Bo Yao, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Brother Fan Li, please drink this cup." ”
