Chapter 14 The Nine Techniques of Cutting Wu
At that time, Yiguang also recognized Fan Li and Dongyun, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Zipi? How did you end up here? And Sister Dongyun, how are you with Mr. Zipi? ”
Dongyun smiled, "The old man I told you about is him. Saying that, she sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect to go around in a circle, and I actually knew each other." ”
Yi was speechless, hurriedly stepped forward, and stared at Fan Li tightly, "Where is my father?" But escaped with Mr.? Where is he? ”
Fan Li's eyes passed through heavy grief and hesitation, and he didn't know how to say for a while, such silence made Yiguang's heart rise with strong uneasiness, regardless of the difference between men and women, he held Fan Li's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Where is my father?" ”
After a long time, Fan Li finally squeezed out three words from his dry throat, "I'm sorry......"
These three words were like a muffled thunder, exploding heavily in Yiguang's ears, instantly taking away her three souls and seven souls, and the whole person stayed there, since through the veil, everyone could also feel the sadness and despair that Yiguang was deep in his soul.
From Yue to Wu, along the way, she has thought of countless possibilities, but she doesn't dare to think about this one, but she ...... That's really the case.
Fan Li carefully recounted the events of the day, and said sadly: "Shi Gong died tragically at the hands of Wu thieves because of me, Fan owes Shi Gong and the girl, this life is not clear, after Fan returns to the country and rescues the king, he immediately kills himself in front of the girl!" ”
Yiguang still stood there motionless, and he didn't know if he heard it, Dongyun looked distressed, and stepped forward to comfort: "People can't be resurrected after death, mourn." ”
Wen Chong echoed: "Shi Gong has a spirit in the sky, and I don't want to see you so sad." ”
I don't know whose words worked, Yiguang inhaled hard, and said in a dumb voice: "I want to stay alone for a while, please go back first." ”
Wen Chong wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Fan Li, who bowed deeply to Yiguang, and then exited the hut, and after closing the door, Fan Li said: "You go back first, I'll stay here." ”
Dongyun immediately said: "I'll accompany you." ”
"I'm enough for one person, you're tired of running around these days, go back and rest; Besides......" Fan Li glanced at the closed door, "After she calms down, she should have something to ask me alone." ”
Seeing him say this, Dong Yun had to leave with Wen Chong, and Fan Li walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.
The sun rises in the east, and the night covers the whole land like a huge wing, and the midsummer night is also sultry, and the summer cicadas chirp tirelessly in the trees.
"Squeak!" Fan Li heard the sound of opening the door, hurriedly raised her eyes, Yiguang walked out slowly, she had already taken off her veil at this time, and saw that there was nothing unusual except for her red and swollen eyes and sad face, Fan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yiguang was also stunned when he saw Fan Li outside the door, "Sir...... Have you been staying here all the time? ”
Fan Li said gently: "I'm afraid that the girl will have something to tell and can't find anyone, so I don't dare to leave." ”
Although Fan Li didn't say it explicitly, Yiguang knew that he was afraid that he would find a short-term opinion, so he owed a debt gratefully, "Sir, don't worry, although Yiguang is a woman, she is not so weak, besides......" Yiguang said with a cold face: "My father's revenge has not been avenged, how dare Yiguang speak lightly about life and death." ”
Fan Li sighed: "It's me who is ashamed of Shi Gong and the girl." ”
"This is my father's own choice, and I can't complain about Mr. Zipi. Besides, sometimes it's harder to live than to die. Yiguang said calmly, she raised her head and glanced at the cold bright moon in the sky, "I want to ask something, please answer truthfully." ”
Fan Li had already guessed a few points in his heart, and he didn't say anything, but said, "Girl, please speak." ”
"At whose hands did my father die?"
And so it was.
Fan Li thought for a moment and said: "The situation was chaotic at that time, so it is not clear for the time being, but I know that it was at the hands of Wu Jun." Without waiting for Yiguang to speak, he said again: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely find out the real culprit and avenge Shi Gong." ”
Yiguang stared at him without saying a word, that kind of indifference Even Fan Li couldn't help but have a chilling feeling, "Mr. hesitated just now, so, Mr. knows." ”
She didn't ask, but said it in an extremely affirmative tone, obviously with complete certainty.
"Yiguang just wants to know who the enemy who killed his father is, so why should Mr. hide it."
In the face of Yiguang's meticulous insight, Fan Li said helplessly: "The girl's hands are innocent, and she is needless to be stained with blood. ”
"Innocent ......" Yiguang looked at a pair of green jade hands self-deprecatingly, "In troubled times, how can there be any innocence and flawlessness, my hands have already been stained with blood." Besides......" She raised her eyes and said word by word: "Father's revenge, I must avenge it with my own hands!"
"Okay." Fan Li nodded with a complicated expression, he could see the tenacity and strength hidden under his delicate appearance, "It's Gongsun Li." ”
Gongsun Li!
Yiguang recited it in his heart over and over again, firmly engraved these three words into his soul, and never forgot it until he died!
The night was thick, and the summer cicada hid in the branches and screamed hoarsely, "Got it...... Got it......"
Yiguang brushed his hair that was blown by the night wind, and said, "I heard Mr. Fan say that he wants to welcome the king back to Vietnam and restore the Yue Kingdom, but I don't know if he has a comprehensive plan?" ”
Since Fan Li told Shi Gong to die on his behalf, Yiguang has never called the word "Zipi", only "Mr" or "Mr. Fan".
Obviously, she knew in her heart that Zipi was dead, dead in the palace of King Yue, and now it was Fan Li who was standing in front of her.
Hearing Yiguang's inquiry, Fan Li's face turned slightly red, fortunately, the night was deep at this time, but he couldn't see it, "I have discussed with Brother Wen for a few days, although I have some ideas, but I haven't made a decision yet, let alone the word Zhou Quan." ”
"Can you talk to Yikouichi?"
"Of course." After sitting down in the chair together, Fan Li elaborated on the strategies and ideas he had discussed with Wen Chong in the past few days, and then said: "The defeat of the Yue Kingdom is an indisputable fact, within a few years, there will be no strength to fight with the Wu State again, this is still an optimistic estimate, if the king has not been able to return, or ......" He paused, and said euphemistically: "Something happened, don't say a few years, there will be no strength in ten years; So the top priority is to rescue the king first! ”
To Fan Li's surprise, Yiguang shook his head and said, "Mr. is wrong. ”
Fan Li said in surprise: "How can you see it? ”
"The most urgent thing is not to rescue the king, but to save the king's life."
Hearing this, Fan Li's heart was relieved, "Brother Wen has already stated the stakes to Bo Ya, and Bo Ya will definitely try his best to save the king's life for the sake of his career, so there is no need to worry too much about this." ”
Yiguang smiled slightly, and said in a cool voice: "Bo Yao can protect the king today, and he can turn his face tomorrow, and put the king's life and the safety of the country on an enemy, doesn't Mr. feel too risky?" ”
Yiguang's voice was like a lightning bolt that pierced the night sky, which made Fan Li feel excited, he always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember it for a while, until he was broken by Yiguang's words at this moment.
He put the bargaining chips of King Yue's safety on Bo Ya alone, it was too risky, once he couldn't control it, it would be an unimaginable disaster, which would destroy everything he had.
When he came back to his senses, Fan Li was already in a cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "I was careless about this matter." ”
A petal floated slowly in the night breeze and landed in Yiguang's palm, she rubbed the tender petals, and suddenly said: "Sir, do you want to enter the court as an official?" ”
Fan Li was stunned, and was about to ask which dynasty to enter, but suddenly understood, and said with a complicated face: "Wu Guo? ”
"Not bad." Yiguang slowly said the method she came up with after weighing the pros and cons just now, "As Mr. said, the two countries of Wu are now very different in strength, and they are not capable of fighting at all, but if they want to restore the country, Wu is the hurdle that cannot be bypassed, after all, it is under its nose; The only way is to break it from within. ”
"From the inside...... Wen Chong's fingers slowly tapped on the table, and after a while, he said in embarrassment: "Although no one in the Wu Kingdom knows that I am Zipi, how can King Wu trust a person of unknown origin?" ”
Yiguang smiled slightly, "Not only that, but Mr. has to get close to Wu Zixu and gain his trust." ”
As soon as her words fell, Fan Li shook her head again and again, and rejected the idea without thinking, "This is impossible." ”
Yiguang was not surprised, but asked indifferently, "Why?" ”
"Wu Zixu is extremely suspicious, except for a few people who have been following him, he doesn't trust others at all, in the past few years, I tried my best, I didn't know how much money I spent, and I couldn't get close to him."
"As long as he's human, there's going to be a way."
Fan Li shook his head and said, "Okay, even if you get close to Wu Zixu, what can you do, is it possible that you can still instigate him to oppose Wu Guo?" ”
"This really doesn't work, but it can separate the relationship between him and Wu Wangfucha, so as to use the husband to get rid of Wu Zixu."
"This Wu Zixu is the pillar of Wu Guo, Wu Guo can have today, he has to take half of the credit; Without him, Fucha is like a toothless tiger; The tiger has no teeth, what else is there to be afraid of. ”
Fan Li thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense, but Wu Zixu and his husband are called monarchs and ministers, and they are like father and son, how can you easily separate." Besides, Wu Zixu holds military and political power in his hands, and his prestige is extremely high, even if he is a poor husband, it is not easy to move him. ”
Yiguang smiled slightly, "You also said that you are just in love with father and son, not really father and son; Dare to ask sir, in the world, is there a king who will be willing to live under his courtiers for the rest of his life? ”
Fan Li was stunned by his question, yes, ordinary people are still unwilling to live under others, let alone the arrogant king.
Fucha didn't say anything now, because he hadn't noticed it yet, and once he noticed it, his relationship with Wu Zixu would come to an end.
Fan Li thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Your plan may work, but you need to have a careful plan, plan it slowly, and you must not be in a hurry." ”
"It's nature." Yiguang bowed his head, and the pair of picturesque eyebrows revealed endless coldness, "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, let's wait slowly, we must find the best strategy and opportunity." ”
In the following days, Yiguang did not go to the Wenchong Mansion with Fan Li and them, but set up a small medicine house here, while treating the people and homeless people passing through here, and inquiring about Zheng Dan's news.
Although Wu Yue is an enemy country, Yiguang is not obsessed with it, whether it is a Wu person or a Yue person, as long as she is sick, she will treat everyone equally.
Yiguang is kind-hearted, coupled with excellent medical skills, the medicine can cure the disease; Over time, the name of the goddess doctor quietly spread among those poor families and homeless people.
Fan Li will come here quietly every other day to discuss the plan for recovering the country with Yiguang, and sometimes Wen Chong and Dongyun will also come over, every time they see it, everyone can't help but marvel at the wisdom shown by Yiguang.
On this day, everyone came to the house again, Yiguang was about to rub a roll of bamboo slips, saw them come in, and handed the bamboo slips over, "Look at it." ”
Fan Li unfolded according to his words, only to see the first smooth bamboo piece written with the words "Nine Techniques of Cutting Wu", followed by the nine techniques carefully listed, the first technique is "Respect Heaven and Earth, Baoyue King", and the second technique is "Near Zixu, between the monarchs and ministers"; Now that the matter of King Baoyue has been temporarily successful, the next thing is ......
Wen Chong also saw it, and said in a deep voice: "Do you really plan to let Brother Fan go to Wu Zixu's side?" ”
Fan Li poured tea for a few people and said, "Didn't we agree on this matter the day before yesterday?" If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. ”
Wen Chong said with a solemn face: "Having said that, I still want to remind you that once this step is taken, you can't turn back, Brother Fan will always live in the danger of being recognized by Wu Zixu, and Gongsun Li beside him is notoriously narrow-minded, and he will never sit back and watch Brother Fan get Wu Zixu's appreciation; In addition to this, there may be a stigma of disloyalty and injustice. All kinds of hardships are very human beings can bear. Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Fan Li, who had not spoken, "You must think clearly." ”
"From the moment I stepped into the country of Wu, I had already thought very clearly. As long as he can recover the country and repay the king's kindness, Fan Lizong promises the country with his body, so what's the matter. Fan Li's eyebrows were light, and his smile was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, rather than a major matter related to his life and death.
Wen Chong looked at him without saying a word, then looked at Yiguang again, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "It seems that I mean I won't move you." ”
Fan Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why, Brother Wen has so little confidence in me?" ”
"Of course not, it's just that you and I have been friends for many years, and now I can't help but be a little worried when I see that you are going to walk the one-plank bridge; Many of my old friends are gone, and I don't want you to have another one. Speaking of this, Wen Chong's eyes were slightly red, and there was a little more complaint in his eyes when he looked at Yiguang.
Fan Li also saw it, knowing that he was worried about himself, and comforted: "Brother Wen, rest assured, before seeing the recovery of the Yue Kingdom with his own eyes, Fan Li didn't dare to lose his life." Besides, I've been working with Yiguang countless times about this plan, and there will be no problem. ”
"I hope so." Wen Chong's mood calmed down a little, and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I will find a way to introduce you for you." However, Wu Zixu is not as good as Bo Yao, and it is not easy to gain his trust. ”
Yi Guang suddenly said: "Has there been a fierce dispute in the court recently?" ”
Wen Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, in order to kill the king or not, King Wu and others have been arguing, but I don't know if Bo Yao can convince King Wu." ”
While they were talking, there was a fierce dispute going on in the palace of King Wu.
