There was a trace of uneasiness in the eyes of those people, but they still didn't speak, as if they were dumb, and Fucha sneered: "Do you think that if you don't speak, this king won't be able to find out your identity?" Wang Shen! ”

Hearing the husband call himself, Wang Shen hurriedly stepped forward, "The villain is here." ”

"This king will give you an hour to find out the origin of these people, otherwise you will come to see you!" Hearing his husband's words, Wang Shen broke out in a cold sweat, there are tens of thousands of people inside and outside this Gusu City, and a few can be found in an hour, isn't this deliberately asking for his life?

He knew that his husband was right, so he hurriedly cast his eyes at Yiguang for help, don't look at him smiling all day long, this heart can be like a mirror, and he clearly knows who is the one who can influence the husband.

Yiguang was about to speak, and suddenly saw that there was a faint blood stain on the left forehead of one of them, but it was covered by the hair and couldn't see it really, her eyes moved, and she stepped forward to pull away the person's hair, and saw that the left side of the person's forehead was injured, as if a piece of skin had been stripped of something, and it was quite terrible to look at, and the degree of healing of the wound should have been caused by the past two days.

Then Yiguang checked the foreheads of the other people, all of them had the same scars, she nodded slightly, and said to Wang Shen: "Wang Gonggong, you go and check the roster of death row inmates in the prison, you should be able to determine the identities of these five people." ”

"No." Wang Shen was overjoyed and hurriedly left.

The husband said suspiciously: "How do you know that they are death row inmates?" ”

"The king forgets that every convicted death row inmate has a tattoo on his left forehead, so that they can be distinguished from each other, and to prevent being transferred during the execution; All five of them had the same scar on their foreheads, most likely to cover up the tattoo, and as for whether it was right or wrong, it would be known when the prince returned. ”

If it was a prisoner on death row in the city, the man who had instructed them to commit it would be ready to come out......

Wang Shen moved quickly, but after a little more than half an hour, he hurriedly arrived with a booklet in his hand, and said with a panicked expression: "King Qiqi, if the names of five death row prisoners were really crossed out, they said that they died of a sudden violent illness, but where the corpses are and who dealt with them, but they are unknown, and the only thing he knows is ......" He looked at the husband and did not continue for a long time, obviously taboo.

"What is it?"

"Before the accident, someone had been in prison, right...... General Gongsun! Hearing these four words, Fucha's face was gloomy as iron, and he slammed his fist on the wall, who Gongsun Li was, he knew better than anyone else, this matter was really from Wu Zixu's hands, he really did everything to force himself to kill Goujian.

Fucha's nose was slightly open, his chest was undulating, and after a while, he said in annoyance: "Go to Xiangguofu immediately!" ”

Yiguang hurriedly stopped him, "The king can't!" ”

Fucha said coldly: "He is not worthy of your intercession!" ”

Yiguang shook his head and said: "It's not to intercede for him, but I don't want the king to turn against him at this time, after all, he is still needed to resist the army of Qi." ”

Fucha said coldly: "This king doesn't believe that he can't do without him!" ”

"The king has a strategic mind, and the state of Wu can be doubled by people, so he can resist the invasion of the state of Qi, but Yiguang believes that the king will have to pay a greater price than before. endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, and hope that the king will focus on the overall situation. Besides, this matter is equivalent to choking Wu Xiang's throat, and I believe that he will not dare to secretly use means to persecute the king again. ”

Under Yiguang's eloquent persuasion, Fucha took a few deep breaths and said coldly: "Okay, this king will listen to you, and I won't settle accounts with him for the time being." With that, he said, "Let's go, go back to the palace." ”

Hearing this, Wang Shen hurriedly pointed to the five death row prisoners and said, "Those people ......?"

The husband glanced at the people expressionlessly, "Since they are death row prisoners, let's send them on the road." ”

Wu Zixu didn't know this, and he was still ordering people to spread rumors that Yue Guo was colluding with Qi State to fight against Wu State, but he waited for a few days in a row but never saw his husband make any moves, and he couldn't help but be anxious and entered the palace to question.

In the face of Wu Zixu's harsh words, the husband listened quietly, did not refute a word, and only then did he glance at Wang Shen when he said almost enough, the latter understood, shook the dust and read out the five names in a whisper, hearing this series of names just now, Wu Zixu's face changed greatly, and he looked at the husband in disbelief,

"Your ......, King" In the middle of his words, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly closed his mouth.

Fu Cha said indifferently: "How can this king know this, right?" If no one knows, he must not do it himself; Doesn't the father even understand such a simple truth? ”

Wu Zixu's face was blue and white for a while, no matter how thick his face was, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he was exposed to his face like this. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Everything the old minister does is for the king." ”

It's for the king again!

The husband closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart, "This king just knows that Xiangfu is working hard, so he didn't make this matter public, otherwise Xiangfu is afraid that he will be criticized by the world at this time." ”

"The old minister is guilty." Wu Zixu arched his hand and said unwillingly: "Gou Jian will not die, and Yue Guo will not accept it; The king must not be benevolent to a woman, let alone be fascinated by beauty, and ruin the foundation that the previous king had built with great difficulty! ”

The husband's face was cold, and he was troubled: "This king wholeheartedly cares about the face of his father, and hides the ridiculous things you have done; The father was not grateful, but accused the king of indulging in beauty and delaying state affairs; This king really doubts that there is still this king in the eyes of his father. ”

"The old minister is guilty, but the old minister ......"

"That's it!" Fucha waved his hand to interrupt him, "I'll talk about Gou Jian later, the top priority is to repel the Qi State and let everyone in the world know that my Wu State is inviolable!" ”

"Gou Jian is immortal, and the country of Qi is difficult to retreat!" Wu Zixu knew that her husband didn't like to hear this, but she still insisted on her own opinion and refused to give up.

The husband said with a gloomy face: "This king respects the grace of his father's teaching and assistance over the years, and I also hope that my father can remember the duty of being a courtier and not go beyond the way of a monarch and a minister." ”

Wu Zixu's face was pale, he had always been strong and upright, and his body that seemed to never fall down shook slightly, he had no children in his life, for him Fucha was not only a monarch, but also a student and even a nephew, it can be said that he poured all his efforts into Fucha, but now Fucha forcibly drew a line between them.

It starts with the monarch and ends with the monarch.

After a long time, Wu Zixu gritted his teeth fiercely, "Since the king has made up his mind, the old minister just obeys, but ...... The way to resist the Qi army, please also ask the king to think about it himself, and the old minister just acts according to the plan. With that, he arched his hand, and turned away.

Fu Cha looked at Wu Zixu's departing figure with an ugly face, the way to resist the Qi army? The reason why he must let Wu Zixu lead the troops is because he is the most suitable person because he uses soldiers like a god.

But now Wu Zixu threw the burden to him, although he has the talent of a commander, he has no choice but to have little experience in the battle, and now the Qi State is making a big move, how can he think of a way to resist and unload, it is clearly deliberately embarrassing, and he wants to force him to kill Gou Jian.

The more the husband thought about it, the more he hated, picked up the tea cup on the side and slammed it on the ground, and the snow-white porcelain pieces splashed on the ground with the tea, which made Wang Shen's heart tremble.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yiguang quietly came to the secret passage of the Guanwa Palace, and under the continuous work of the craftsmen, the Guanwa Palace has begun to take shape, and it is expected to be completed this year.

When she arrived, Fan Li and Dong Yun were already there, and after they were seated, Yiguang said happily: "Sir's plan this time is really wonderful, not only to ensure the safety of King Yue, but also to make King Wu completely disappointed in Wu Zixu, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Zixu is still useful, and his power in the court is not weak, I am afraid that Wu Zixu has already been dismissed." ”

Fan Li smiled slightly, "It's indeed a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, but it's not my credit?" ”

"Not the sir's work?" Yiguang was full of surprise, she always thought that this plan was from Fan Li's hand, but she didn't expect someone else, "Who is that, Sister Dongyun?" Mr. Wenzhong? ”

Fan Li smiled but didn't answer, and Dong Yun said on the side: "Don't worry, he's almost there." ”

Yiguang curiously guessed the "he" in Fan Li's mouth, and after a while, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the secret passage, and as the footsteps gradually became clear, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"Wow!" Yiguang gasped and looked at the visitor in disbelief...... Fanlou, how could it be him?!

Fanlou shook the agarwood fan in his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "What, do I look scary, so that Miss Yiguang looks like this?"

Yiguang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "General Yushu is in the wind, handsome and extraordinary, how can it be scary, Yiguang is just ......" She couldn't think of a suitable word for a while, and only said after a while: "I'm surprised." ”

Dong Yun pursed his lips and said with a smile: "When we first knew, we were so surprised by you, who would have thought that Bo Yao's first trusted subordinate would be from the Yue Kingdom." ”

"Yue people?" Yiguang looked at Fan Li in disbelief, and the latter nodded and said: "Yes, General Fanlou is indeed from the Yue Kingdom, before Dong Yun went to assassinate Niu Si, thanks to his secret help, Dong Yun was able to get out of danger." ”

"But I remember that the Fan family has lived in Gusu for generations, and the ancestors have followed the kings of Wu in previous dynasties, how did they suddenly become Yue people?"

"I'll tell you." Fanlou closed the folding fan and said slowly: "Ten years ago, I was ordered by King Yue, who was still the prince at the time, to sneak into Gusu and replace Fanlou, the son of the Fanjia family who was raised elsewhere at that time, because he was a concubine, he was not taken seriously, and he had never returned to the main house for a few years, so everyone in the Fanjia family was not familiar with him, and even his appearance was only remembered. ”

"I was a companion to King Yue, when King Yue had quietly come to Gusu, and unexpectedly saw that the appearance of Fanlou was somewhat similar to me, so he had the idea of replacing him. Although the king of Yue at that time was young, he had long expected that there would be a war between Wu and Yue sooner or later, so he laid down my chess piece, and no one knew about this matter except for the king of Yue, and this replacement was a full decade. ”

After that, I managed to return to Fanjia, take refuge in Bo Yao, and become his henchman step by step, but unfortunately I couldn't stop that big war in the end, and I could only watch the defeat of the Yue Kingdom and the exile of the king; Later, Wen Chong appeared, I knew that he was the person of King Yue, so I have been secretly paying attention, and found out about you, in order to avoid causing trouble, I have not revealed my identity until the matter of Niu Si. ”

Fan Li took over and said: "After Dongyun told me about Niu Siyi, I quietly went to see Fanlou, and after a detailed discussion, I learned that he was a chess piece laid by King Yue in the morning. ”

Yiguang shook his head and suddenly said, "What is your real name?" ”

This sentence made Fanlou a little abrupt, and after a while, he said astringently: "I don't remember, I am Fanlou now." ”

From the time Gou Jian asked him to replace Fanlou, he lost his past identity, perhaps...... One day, the Yue Kingdom really destroyed the Wu Kingdom, and he can get back what he lost.

"I learned that the Qi State was coming, and Wu Zixu took this as a request to force King Wu to kill Queen Yue again, so I had a plan. I knew that Bo Yao's son, Yan Ji, was friends with Gongsun Li, and deliberately let him hear about the plan to use death row prisoners to pretend to be Yue people and pretend to collude with the Qi State in order to force King Wu to submit. Sure enough, Yan Ji told Gongsun Li about this, and the latter offered Wu Zixu his plan; Then I went to Brother Fan and asked him to try to inform you to cooperate. ”

Yiguang listened quietly, and when he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "General Fanlou has a good hand of chess, Yiguang admires it." ”

"If there is no Yiguang girl to lead King Wu step by step in the direction we set, it will be difficult to have today's effect, and the girl's credit is the greatest."

"The general is overrated." Yi Guang bowed slightly, twisted his eyebrows and said: "Now Wu Zixu is dissatisfied with King Wu, and threatens to ignore the matter of marching and arranging the formation, King Wu still has little experience in the army after all, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the army of Qi, Mr. Fan and the general still have to quickly think of a way." ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Fan Li's eyes, "Qi and Wu are competing with each other, and we are profiteering, isn't this a good thing?" Why meddle in this? ”

"Sir, that's a mistake." Yiguang said solemnly: "Now it seems that the two countries of Qi and Wu are fighting, which is greatly beneficial to our recovery; But Mr. thought about it carefully, after the Qi State destroyed the Wu State, who would be next? It must be the Yue Kingdom, the reason why Qi Jinggong chose this time for the expedition is to see the fall of the Yue Kingdom, and the Wu State has not recovered its troops, so it is a good time to take advantage of the weakness. Once they capture the state of Wu, they will immediately attack the country of Yue, and when the time comes, both sides will be defeated, and how can they talk about the benefits of the fishermen? ”

Fan Li frowned and said, "So you want to help King Wu survive this catastrophe?" ”

Yiguang nodded and said, "I once said that King Wu is not a murderous person, and he should not end up like this; Moreover, there are thousands of people in the city, and once the Qi State invades, there will be countless casualties, and we cannot sit idly by. ”

Fan Li's eyes looked at Yiguang deeply, and every time he talked about his husband, Yiguang's eyes were shining, and his expression was flying.

Just when he was worried about himself, Fanlou suddenly said: "I agree with Miss Yiguang's statement; Judging from the current situation, we can still control the king of Wu, but if we change the king of Qi, there is really no way at all, this king of Qi and Wu Zixu are the same kind of people, and they are the most committed to the law of cutting grass and eradicating the roots. ”

Dongyun nodded and said, "I agree with this statement, sir?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Li, in front of Fanlou, Fan Li was inconvenient to ask Yiguang, so he had to say: "It's only like this." ”

Yiguang said worriedly: "Now that Wu Zixu has stacked the burden, Bo Yao is a villain who has a whisker and a horse, he has no real skills, and it is difficult for King Wu to support it alone, what can Mr. and the general think of?" ”

Fan Li hesitated slightly, and said to Dongyun: "Take it out." ”

Dongyun nodded, and took out a thin book from his arms, the cover was slightly yellowed, and it looked like it had been a few years, and there were four words written on it, "The Art of War".
