After a few days of preparation, the supplies of the Yue Wang's labor army have been prepared, so he chose a day to lead his entourage, lead the convoy, leave Gusu, and go to Nanlin labor army.

Kun Chang led a team of 1,000 men to escort along the way.

Wen Chong led the ministers to send out ten miles, and the monarchs and ministers said goodbye and left.

This was the first large-scale trip since King Yue returned to China. In the past, King Yue often patrolled various places, but he was all lightly dressed, and sometimes he even went out to run errands with two people and two horses with Wen Chong, without an entourage.

At that time, he felt that his return to China was far away, and his future was bleak, and even if he could organize a convoy, he always kept a low profile.

Since the re-establishment of the army of the Yue Kingdom, the King of Yue suddenly had confidence. He put an end to what he had been doing for more than ten years. and went to the court to deal with state affairs. The only thing that insisted was that he was still living in a stone house, insisting on living on a straw bunk.

Wen Chong and the ministers repeatedly asked the king and queen to live in the Yue Palace, but the Yue King did not agree, he said: "If the Wu Kingdom is not destroyed for a day, the widow and the widow will not sleep in peace for a day." ”

King Yue treated himself so stubbornly and harshly, won the love of the common people, and silently shocked the ministers, and the entire court prevailed in the wind of incorruptibility, which was the basis for the restoration of the country in the future.

Farewell to King Yue, Wen Chong came back, and immediately arranged preparations for the return of grain. Because of the grain obtained from the burning of Quyang, except for a part of it that was transported to Quyang Village to make wine, the rest was hoarded in the state treasury. The culture arranged for people to organize a convoy and send it to the people around Huiji, so that the people could sieve and dry it, and separate the dust, chaff, husk grains and imperfect grains.

For every 100 catties of grain picked up, the common people can get 10 catties of grain, which is very cost-effective, and everyone is willing to do it, and the enthusiasm is high.

After Fan Li finished the meeting, he did not appear in public. After he fell out with King Wu, the secret agents of Wu must have also been instructed to pay close attention to his whereabouts. If he makes a public appearance at the meeting. The secret agents of Wu State will soon find out and report to King Wu and Wu Zixu, which will cause King Wu to panic, and he may listen to Wu Zixu's words, raise troops to attack Yue Guo, and raise teachers to ask for guilt.

Under the circumstance that the Vietnamese country was not ready, it was difficult to achieve a complete victory in a hurry. So Fan Li was temporarily invisible.

It was late in the morning, and Fan Li walked around the street. He pulled his cloak down to cover his face. Walk the streets.

There are already several night markets in Huiji City, many stalls selling snacks and snacks, many tourists, and shops on both sides of the street are also open. Huiji City is a prosperous scene.

Fan Li was a little relieved in his heart, after so many years of struggle, he finally had some results. The greatest reward is that ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was a woman, with a slender figure, walking gracefully, wasn't that Meng Ji?

On the way back to Yue from Wu Kingdom, Fan Li met Meng Ji, a girl who was bullied by the pavilion chief, hanged herself, he rescued the girl, and acted as a matchmaker to let Meng Ji and the guard Jiang He get married. Yayu is easy-going by nature and doesn't take a stand, and Meng Ji is the only woman in her life who can gossip. Nominally, they are the relationship between the queen and the maid, but in fact they are close friends. Counting, Meng Ji should be in her early thirties, right?

Fan Li quickened his pace to catch up, walked side by side with Meng Ji, and called softly: "Meng Ji! ”

Meng Ji was walking with her head down, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name, and she was startled. As soon as he turned his face, he saw a tall man walking beside him, his cloak was pulled down, and he couldn't see his face clearly. But from the voice, it was Fan Li.

Hurriedly whispered: "It turns out that General, Meng Ji is polite!" ”

Fan Li said: "Don't! Now on the street, don't salute. We talk as we go, so that no one recognizes us. ”

Meng Ji whispered: "Meng Ji listens to adults. ”

Fan Li said: "What are you doing here?" ”

Meng Ji said: "The queen has been on fire for the past two days, so I came out to buy some persimmons for the queen to reduce the fire." ”

Fan Li felt sad for a while, poor Yayu, a queen, is living the life of an ordinary village woman.

Fan Li said: "Sister Meng Ji, the queen has been thanks to your care all these years. You've worked hard. ”

Meng Ji said, "Why did your lord say this? It is Meng Ji's duty to take care of the queen. But in fact, it was the queen who took care of Meng Ji more. The clothes on my body, as well as Jiang He's clothes, were sewn for us by the queen. Last year, Meng Ji was sick, and the queen decocted soup and boiled medicine, taking care of her day and night, just like my own sister. Whenever she thought of this, Meng Ji wanted to shed tears. ”

Fan Li sighed secretly, Yayu is virtuous, unparalleled in the world.

Fan Li changed the topic and said, "Is General Jiang He okay?" ”

Jiang He's only personal guard of King Yue. He and Meng Ji have been living in a stone house with King Yue.

Meng Ji said: "Jiang He went with the king Lao Jun, and he just left today. ”

Fan Li said: "Are you two okay? ”

Meng Ji's face was angry, and he said, "We are all good, all of this is thanks to the adults." If it weren't for the adults to save him, Meng Ji's face and bones would not exist. My lord, you are not only Meng Ji's life-saving benefactor, but also Meng Ji's fateful nobleman. Everything Meng Ji gave was given by you. ”

Fan Li smiled silently: "Silly girl, this is all your fate." Don't say these words of gratitude, Fan Li doesn't like to hear them. ”

Meng Ji wiped her eyes: "Yes, Meng Ji doesn't say it, and I don't forget it in my heart." ”

Fan Li said: "Look, there are really persimmons to buy here." Let's go and buy a little. ”

The persimmon is huge and full, bright in color, Fan Li said: "Buy more, you can also eat some, it is easy to catch fire in autumn." ”

Meng Ji said: "Just buy it for the queen to eat, and Meng Ji will forget it." ”

Fan Li said, "What's wrong? No money? ”

Meng Ji sighed and said: "Wen Xiangguo has allocated living expenses to the queen every month, but the queen does not spend a penny except for food, and sends her own money to the surrounding people. I spent some small expenses with my own money. ”

Fan Li felt a dull pain in his heart. I am afraid that there is no second such queen in history.

Fan Li said: "It's okay, buy more, I have money." ”

Meng Ji said, "My lord, how can I use your money? It's not easy for you to be away all year round. ”

Fan Li said: "Buy more, it's okay, I lack everything, I just don't lack money." ”

In the end, they bought a cloth bag, Fan Li held it in his hand, and said, "Meng Ji, let me go and see the queen, is she in the stone house now?" ”

Meng Ji said, "The queen is not in the stone house at this time. ”

Fan Li was stunned: "Where did the queen go?" ”

Meng Ji said: "There is a family behind the stone house that gave birth to a boy, and tonight it is full of moon wine. The queen brought a gift and went to congratulate her. ”

Fan Li said, "You should accompany the queen?" ”

Meng Ji said: "I want to accompany the queen, but she does not agree, saying that if I go, the host's family will definitely arrange for me to sit at the table, so I will occupy an extra seat, which will increase the expenses of the family." ”

Fan Li doesn't know what to say, the queen is so subtle and close to the people, no wonder the people worship her so much.

At this time, Meng Ji wiped a persimmon clean, peeled off the skin, and said, "My lord, you eat." ”

Fan Li stretched out his hand to pick it up, Meng Ji looked at no one around, and said softly: "My lord, you don't need to take it, so as not to get juice on your hands, Meng Ji will take it for you to eat." ”
