The husband stumbled outside, listened with his ears pricked up, and the next moment, he showed excitement, it was her! It had to be her!

Thinking of this, the husband said excitedly: "Hurry up and prepare the horse, this king is going to leave the palace!" ”

Wang Shen was taken aback by his sudden request, "Where are you going, it's getting dark now, and you're drunk again." ”

"Yes, the palace gate has long been closed at this time, so let's wait for tomorrow if there is anything." Wu Rong, who came out with her, also persuaded on the side, but her husband's nervousness and concern for the sound of the flute made her feel inexplicably flustered, and she subconsciously didn't want him to leave the palace.

"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!" Seeing that his husband insisted, Wang Shen had to prepare a horse according to his words. The husband turned over and got on his horse, called open the palace gate all the way, and galloped away outside the palace.

"Brother Fucha! Brother Husband! How Ren Wurong shouted and chased after him, the husband had no intention of stopping, and he didn't even turn back.

"Drive! Drive! All the fucha's minds were attracted by the sound of the flute, and he had no time to take care of Wu Rong, but kept urging the horses under his crotch to gallop faster, faster.

The miss of that day made him regret it to this day, thinking that he would never see him again in this life, but he didn't expect her to come to Gusu, it must be God who gave him the opportunity to make up for his regrets.

This time, he would never let her go again!

Just when Fucha was getting closer and closer, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and Fucha panicked all of a sudden, how could there be no sound, people?

Just as Fucha was eagerly looking around for the person who played the flute, the footsteps accompanied by a few clusters of fires that were unusually striking in the dark night quickly approached, it was the night guard, "Who is it?" ”

Seeing that the husband was almost ignoring, the guard was a little annoyed, and was about to scold, but the guard next to him recognized the husband, changed his color in shock, and quickly pulled him to kneel down together, "See the king!" ”

Hearing this, the guards behind Hulala knelt on the ground, and the husband asked anxiously, "Have you seen a girl playing the flute?" ”

"When I returned to the king, the little ones came to follow the sound of the flute, but they did not see the piper." The guard replied as he cautiously looked at Fucha.

Strange, how did the king know that it was a girl who played the flute...... The king knows?

At that time, the husband had already understood that the girl must have discovered that the sound of the flute had attracted the guards who patrolled the city, and she was afraid of danger, so she hid.

Thinking of this, Fucha's eyes were a little more annoyed, and those guards trembled at him, and they didn't know how they annoyed this one, so they quickly lowered their heads.

The husband said coldly: "Go and see, you must find that girl!" ”

"Yes." The guards hurried away to find the girl they had never met.

While they were searching around, Yiguang was hiding together in a corner not far away, listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Dongyun next to him: "Thank you sister for rescuing." ”

Dongyun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's you, you don't stay in the piano hall, why did you come out?" ”

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, and I thought about playing music to relieve my boredom, but somehow, it attracted so many Wu soldiers." Yiguang said with a gloomy expression.

Along the way, not to mention, she was also in danger of being murdered by gangsters, and even the life and death of her only good sister were unknown, leaving her as a weak woman struggling to find her father in this foreign land, and there was not even one to talk to.

If it weren't for her tenacity, she would have been unable to support it, and when she thought of the hardships along the way, she couldn't help but feel sad.

If it weren't for this war, she would still be in the ramie village at this time, treating people when she was busy, watching the flowers bloom and fall in her spare time, and when her father returned, she would take out the pear blossom wine buried under the tree and pour him a full glass.

The more Yiguang thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help but take out the bamboo flute he carried with him and played a tune, originally to soothe the depression and sorrow in his heart, and didn't want to attract the city guards, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but fortunately, Dongyun suddenly appeared and pulled her to hide, so that the guards didn't find out.

Having said that, she heard the guard call "Dawang" just now, could it be...... Wu Wangfu is poor? How could he appear outside the palace late at night, and besides, she was a little familiar with the man's voice, could it really be the one she had saved?

Wu Wang ...... Lize ...... Is it possible?

Dong Yun didn't know what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "The palace city is full of high walls and is heavily guarded, so don't come here again in the future." ”

"Hmm." Yiguang bowed and said: "This time I was careless and put myself in danger, I will compensate my sister, and I will not in the future." ”

Besides, on the husband's side, he sent people to search all night, but he found nothing, full of loss, thinking that God gave them a chance to meet again, but he never thought that it was a passing by......

Where exactly are you?

The husband was worried about Yiguang and completely forgot about Wu Rong, who waited left and right in his palace and never saw the husband come to apologize, so he was angry and sad, and went out of the palace to the Xiangguo Mansion.

"Father-in-law!" Seeing Wu Zixu, Wu Rong screamed sadly, stretched out his sleeves and threw himself into his arms and cried with a whimper, so he was not sad.

Wu Zixu was originally discussing with Fan Li, but she cried like this, and was stunned there, she was stubborn, since she was a child, she almost never cried, let alone cried so sadly; After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly patted Wu Rong's back and said, "What's wrong, why are you crying so sadly?" ”

Ten years ago, he picked up Wu Rong on the battlefield, Wu Rong was only seven years old at the time, her parents died in the war, leaving her only an orphan girl, in order to fill her stomach, she went to pick up the dead people's things, when Wu Zixu met her, she was gnawing on a bloodstained steamed bun, and when she saw someone coming, her first reaction was to protect the steamed bun in her hand, for Wu Rong at that time, this cold and stained with the blood of the dead man's steamed bun was her everything.

She looked at Wu Zixu's eyes with stubbornness, vigilance, and hatred, but there was no fear that a little girl should have; It was that look that made Wu Zixu, who had always been decisive in killing, moved her compassion, brought her back to the camp, accepted her as a righteous daughter, and named her the surname Wu, which is why Wu Rong is today.

Under Wu Zixu's comfort, Wu Rong gradually stopped crying, told the events of last night, and then said: "Yesterday was my birthday, and the king abandoned me like this, and he has not apologized until today, nor has he ever come to see me." The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but cry again.

Wu Zixu was also annoyed when he heard this, but it was inconvenient to say anything in front of Wu Rong, so he only said: "The king is busy with political affairs, and it is inevitable that he will not take care of everything, you have to be considerate." ”

Wu Rong said angrily: "The king is busy with political affairs, and he is obviously fascinated by that Yue girl, and he can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest. ”

"Rong'er!" Wu Zixu glared at her, and then said to Fan Li on the side: "Let the young uncle smile." ”

"It doesn't matter." Fan Li smiled and said to Wu Rong: "Miss Wu said that the king searched for a night yesterday, I don't know if I found that Yue girl?" ”

"Nope." When she said this, there was obviously a hint of relaxation in Wu Rong's voice, her husband's obsession with that Yue Nu had reached the point where she was afraid, if one day he really let him find that Yue Nu...... She couldn't imagine what would happen.

"That's good, as long as Miss Wu is more considerate to the king, over time, the king will naturally forget about that Yue girl."

Fan Li's words made Wu Rong's heart feel a little calm, but he was still a little uneasy, "Really? ”

Fan Li smiled and said: "How can an ethereal person be as real as the people around him who ask for warmth?" The king is now trapped in a fog that he can't ask for, and when he gets out of that fog, he will naturally be fine. ”

"Did you hear that, it's just a trivial matter, but you got into the tip of the horns, hurry up and freshen up, and then go back to the palace." Facing Wu Zixu's words, Wu Rong's face was slightly red, and he turned his face away and said: "Just go back like this, I don't want to be laughed at." ”

Wu Zixu said funny: "You Nizi, do you still want to live here for a long time?" ”

"Can't you?"

"This is your home, of course, but ......" Wu Zixu stroked his beard and smiled: "There are as many women who want to get close to the king as the carp crossing the river, and if you go, they will have a chance." ”

Hearing this, Wu Rong suddenly became anxious, "Then I'll go back now." ”

Her eager appearance caused Wu Zixu to laugh, "Young uncle, look, it's really a big girl." ”

Wu Rong was said to be flushed, shaking Wu Zixu's arm and coquettishly said: "My father-in-law laughs at others, but Rong'er doesn't follow!" ”

Wu Zixu was shaken dizzy by her, and doted: "Okay, okay, my father-in-law won't say it, you go and freshen up." ”

After Wu Rong left, Wu Zixu slowly collected the smile on his face and said in a cold voice: "Young uncle, do you really believe that the king can come out of that fog?" ”

Fan Li looked down at the fragmented reflection in the teacup, and said quietly: "If I can come out, I won't wait until today." ”

"So you used that to comfort Rong'er just now?" Faced with Wu Zixu's inquiry, Fan Li did not answer, obviously acquiescing.

Wu Zixu said in a deep voice: "The king searched for Yue Nu all over the city last night, and the old man got the news this morning, but I didn't expect the king to be so crazy. At the beginning, the Yue Nu killed and stayed in the poison and escaped, and the old man was worried, but now it has come true. After a pause, he said slowly: "The king must not be allowed to find this demon girl." ”

Fan Li's fingers trembled slightly, and he said quietly: "Lord Xiangguo means ......"

Wu Zixu said word by word: "The demon girl is in trouble with the country, she should be punished!" ”

This sentence stirred up a thousand waves in Fan Li's heart, there are only a handful of Yue girls in Gusu City, except for those who were imprisoned, there are only Yiguang and Zheng Dan who escaped by luck, Zheng Dan's whereabouts are clear, then only ......

Seeing that Fan Li didn't speak for a long time, Wu Zixu's eyes sank, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice, "What, the young uncle doesn't agree?" ”

Fan Li came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Lord Xiangguo is far-sighted, how can the young uncle disagree, the young uncle is worried about the king, if he knows about it, I am afraid that he will be resentful." ”

Wu Zixu sighed heavily, "If this is the case, the old man is helpless; However, the king is pure and smart, and I believe he will understand the old man's hard work. ”

Fan Li got up, bowed to Wu Zixu, and said solemnly: "Lord Xiangguo's bare liver and loyalty, which is really admired by the young uncle. ”

Since meeting Wu Zixu, Fan Li's words have been half-truths and half-truths, only once, but they are from the bottom of his heart, Wu Zixu is dedicated to Wu Guo, he is dedicated, and he is indeed a loyal minister.

The enemy is only because of the different positions, and it has nothing to do with good or bad, right or wrong.

Wu Zixu didn't know what he was thinking, so he only said: "The first king treated the old man like a mountain, and when he was dying, he entrusted the king and Wu Guojiang together, how dare the old man not do his best." ”

Fan Li sighed and said, "I hope the king will understand the painstaking efforts of Lord Xiangguo." ”

"You'll understand." When talking about the husband, Wu Zixu has obvious gentleness in his eyes, he has taught the husband since he was a child, and watched the husband grow from a yellow-haired child to a generation of kings, like a teacher and a father.

Love is deep, so responsibility.

But he didn't know that it was precisely this overly strict love that pushed the husband farther and farther, and finally ...... Towards opposites.

After a moment of silence, Wu Zixu suddenly said, "How is that thing going?" ”

Fan Li arched his hand and said: "Everything is as expected by Lord Xiangguo, the people are extremely dissatisfied with the Yue people, and the call to kill the Yue King Goujian is getting louder and louder. ”

"As the old man expected...... Wu Zixu stroked his half-white long beard and said with a smile: "It should be as the young man expected." ”

Fan Li said modestly: "Lord Xiangguo is very strategic, even if he is not here, he will be able to think of this method sooner or later, Li is just icing on the cake." ”

Wu Zixu nodded with satisfaction, taking credit and not being arrogant, very good.

"So, the time is ripe?" Facing Wu Zixu's inquiry, Fan Li said: "Yes, with these thousands of people pressuring together, the king should agree." ”

Wu Zixu was a resolute person, and immediately got up and said, "Okay, the old man will go to the palace to see the king." ”

Hearing this, Fan Li hurriedly called, "Lord Xiangguo stays." ”

Wu Zixu said suspiciously: "What, is there anything else?" ”

Fan Li said solemnly: "Miss Wu's matter, please don't mention it in front of the king." ”

"Why?"

"This matter was originally just a couple of children making trouble, and it would be good to make trouble, but once Lord Xiangguo intervened, this small matter became a big thing, and it was not good. Although I haven't seen the king in Xia, I have heard a thing or two from other people's mouths, and with all due respect, the king doesn't like you to meddle in everything, especially private matters. ”

"Very few people will say this to the old man." Wu Zixu stared at him with heavy eyes, unable to see joy or anger.

"If you eat the country, you should share the worries of the adults, and if there is anything wrong, please punish the adults." With these words, Fan Li bowed down again, but this time, as soon as he bent over, he was supported, and Wu Zixu's emotional voice came from his ears, "You are thinking about the old man, how can the old man punish you." ”

After Fan Li straightened up, he said a little sadly: "Since the death of the first king, no one has ever been so heart-to-heart with the old man. ”

Fan Li said in fear: "How dare I compare with the previous king, I just want to repay the kindness of the Lord of the Prime Minister." ”

"The old man knows." Wu Zixu nodded with a smile, and looked at Fan Li with a little more trust than before, "Are you willing to enter the palace with the old man?" ”

Fan Li raised his head in astonishment and said cautiously: "Lord Xiangguo is saying...... Can you see the king below? ”

Wu Zixu said with a smile: "What, don't you want to?" ”

Fan Li hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not, it's just a little panicked, you know, I don't know how to please Fengying in the next place, in case it ......" He hesitated: "One doesn't annoy the king very much, but it causes trouble to Lord Xiangguo, and he still doesn't go." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zixu laughed loudly: "The old man understands, you are worried that the old things of Yue Guo will be repeated in Gusu." ”

Fan Li smiled bitterly: "Lord Xiangguo is wise. ”

"Don't worry, the king is wise and benevolent, and has both talent and virtue, how can Gou Jian, a mediocre person, be able to compare, there will be nothing wrong with this, maybe you can vote for the king's eyes and find an official and a half-position in the court."

Fan Li was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I just want to follow Lord Xiangguo, and I have no other thoughts." ”

Wu Zixu smiled and said, "The old man knows, let's go." ”

Wu Zixu, who was walking in front, didn't see the flash of light in Fan Li's eyes, and he didn't know that he was falling into Fan Li's layout step by step.

Retreat is always the best advance!
