At that time, Wen Chong was still eagerly saying, "Haven't we been worried that we can't get close to King Wu, and now the opportunity has come, as long as we can find that Yue Nu and persuade her, then King Wu's every move is equivalent to being under our noses, and we can even introduce you to King Wu." ”

"It's a good idea." Fan Li nodded approvingly, and said, "What else do you know about that girl?" ”

"I have said everything I know, according to Bo Ya, the situation was in a hurry, and King Wu didn't even have time to ask the girl's name. Ten days ......" Wen Chong clenched his hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you go through Gusu City, you have to find out that girl!" ”

Yiguang said tentatively: "Mr. Wen said that King Wu was sick when he was fighting Yue, I don't know what kind of illness it is?" ”

Wen Chong thought for a while and said: "It seems to be a heart disease, ...... specifically" Before he finished speaking, Yiguang had already said: "Angina pectoris." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Li and Wen Chong both looked at her in surprise, and the former was the first to come back to his senses, "How do you know?" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Yiguang's eyes, but she soon disappeared, she looked at Fan Wen and the others fixedly, and said word by word: "Because-I am the person King Wu is looking for!" ”

If the previous words surprised Fan Li and the others, then now they are shocked, especially the literary type, the eyes staring at Yiguang are about to protrude, from the first time he saw Yiguang, he was amazed by the latter's beauty, praising him as the first beauty in the world; But I never thought that she was the beauty that Wu Wangfu was looking for, this ...... It's a coincidence.

After coming back to his senses, Wen Chong said cautiously: "Miss Shi is not joking with us, is she?" ”

Yiguang Zhengse said: "Such a big thing, how dare Yiguang joke." ”

Hearing this, Wen Chong's heart hanging in mid-air finally fell to the ground, stroked his palms and laughed: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it; Good! That's great! ”

Compared with the joy of the literary species, Fan Li looked a little heavy, he stared at Yiguang, "How can you be sure?" ”

"When King Wu was in the crossing, when I fled by the stream with Sister Zheng, I saved a young man, who had an angina attack, and it happened that I also had this disease, and I always carried my father's sword with me, so I saved him; After that, he gave me a flute, and it so happened that I happened to be playing it in the city a few days ago. Therefore, I can be sure that I am the Yue girl that King Wu is looking for! Yiguang finally knew why she felt that the voice of the king of Wu was somewhat familiar that night, and it turned out that he was the son who gave the flute.

Wen Chong said thoughtfully: "Can you let me see that flute?" ”

"Absolutely." Yiguang turned around and took out the small flute from the baggage, this flute is not gold or jade, it is made of common bamboo, the only strange thing is that the flute has many spots, like tears.

It was such an ordinary bamboo flute, but it made Wen Chong excited, and he said repeatedly: "It's this branch, the person you see is really King Wu." ”

Hearing this, Fan Li's already not very good-looking face sank a little, "Where do you see it?" ”

Wen Chong, who was immersed in joy and excitement, did not notice the change in Fan Li's expression, and said: "Bo Yao said that King Wu's mother left a bamboo flute when she was dying, and King Wu has always carried it with him, and he has not left his origin, and he can come back from Yueguo, but this flute is gone, isn't it this branch?" ”

"People are still similar, and the question is just a bamboo flute." In the face of Fan Li's questioning, Wen Chong shook his head again and again, "Absolutely not, the flute left by the queen is made of Xiangfei bamboo, and Wu does not produce Xiangfei bamboo, it is very rare to see it, I have been here for two or three years, and I have only seen it once in the passing merchants, and it must be this flute." As he spoke, he added: "I heard that Wu Rong once asked King Wu for this flute, but was rejected by King Wu, I never expected that he would give it to you, which shows the importance he attaches to you." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Chong's eyes were shining and staring at Yiguang, "Miss Shi is willing to do her part for the restoration of the country and the king?" ”

"Yiguang is a native of Yueguo, and now that Yueguo is at the time of life and death, Yiguang should do his part, and ......" Yiguang's eyes dimmed, and he said softly: "This is also my father's last wish!" ”

"Great!" Wen Chong clapped his legs and applauded, and then raised his thumb and praised: "Miss Shi is really a heroine, if she can restore the country, Miss Shi will be the first to take credit!" ”

Yiguang owed a bow and said softly: "Mr. Wen has won the prize." ”

"Then I'll tell Bo Ya now!" Wen Chong stood up excitedly, and was just about to take a step when Fan Li's voice sounded in his ears, "Yiguang can't enter the palace." ”

"Why?" Wen Chong was surprised, Fan Li hadn't spoken much since just now, but he didn't expect that a mouth was against it.

Fan Li got up, met his gaze and said word by word: "Anyone can enter the palace, but Yiguang can't!" ”

Wen Chong's mind turned, and he already understood, "Are you afraid that Yiguang is in danger?" ”

Fan Li didn't answer directly, but said: "Shi Gong entrusted Yiguang to me before he died, so that I must protect Yiguang and be safe, I can't break my word." ”

Wen Chong was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "If there is the second choice, I will not send Yiguang into the palace, but she is the person King Wu is looking for, and no one is more suitable than her." ”

"No matter what, you can't force her into the palace." Hearing this, Wen Chong couldn't help but be a little anxious, and was about to speak, Yiguang took a step ahead of him and said: "Mr. Fan misunderstood, this matter is Yiguang's will, and Mr. Wen is not half persecuted." ”

Fan Li looked at her with pity, "You don't know the danger, Wu Gong is like a tiger's den in Longtan, if you don't do anything, you will lose your life, you must not go!" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger; This is a sentence that Mr. often says, you and Mr. Wen are in danger alone for the great cause of restoring the country, how can Yiguang stay out of the matter, and besides......" A few rays of light as cold as sharp needles shot out from the bottom of Yiguang's eyes, "I went to King Wu's side, and I can also find out who killed my father!" ”

"I will help you find out the person who killed Shi Gong and avenge him, why do you want to take this risk, in case something happens, under Jiuquan, how can I treat Shi Gong?"

In the face of Fan Li's persuasion, Yiguang was not moved, and said with a firm expression: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky; If Yiguang really lost his life here, it was also providential, and it had nothing to do with Mr. ”

Wen Chong also said on the side: "The husband is obsessed with Miss Shi, and she herself is willing to enter the palace, why do you bother to obstruct it, Brother Fan?" Have you forgotten the purpose of coming to Gusu? ”

Fan Li's face was uncertain, and after a while, he said: "Although it is important to restore the country, it is equally important to restore the country, but Shi Gong's deathbed entrustment is equally important, so Yiguang must not enter the palace." Without waiting for words, he said: "I know this opportunity is rare, you don't want to miss it, we can find another Yue girl, and tell her all the details of Yiguang's encounter with King Wu, so as to confuse the truth." ”

Wen Chong looked at him in a daze, if it weren't for that familiar face, he would almost wonder if the person in front of him was Fan Li.

"Brother Fan is confused, the fake is always fake, the slightest problem will be exposed, and when the time comes, you and I will be unlucky. Besides, if we look for another Yue girl, who dares to guarantee that she will not be fascinated by the glory and wealth of the palace, so as to betray or even confess us? And then, what then? ”

Fan Li pursed his lips and said nothing, he also knew that his proposal was hasty, but if he wanted to watch Yiguang sacrifice his innocence and even his life in order to restore the country, he couldn't do it.

Wen Chong's face was not very good-looking, and seeing that Fan Li didn't answer for a long time, he said to Yiguang: "Miss Shi, let's rest first, I'll say a few words to Brother Fan alone." Without waiting for Yiguang to agree, he pulled Fan Li out of the door, all the way to the study far away from Xiaolou, before he let go of his hand and said with a cold face: "There are no outsiders here, you tell me the truth, why don't you let Yiguang enter the palace?" ”

"I said that I can't live up to Shi Gong's deathbed will." Facing Fan Li's answer that was the same as before, Wen Chong sneered: "Do you really dare not live up to it, or do you have something else to think?" ”

Fan Li was stunned, "What does this mean?" ”

"You came here to see Yiguang as soon as you had time during this time, from piano and chess to calligraphy and painting to classics and history, I have known you for many years, and I have never seen you so attentive to women, you are clearly in love with Yiguang."

Fan Li never expected him to say such a thing, his face changed for a while, and he brushed his sleeves and scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I saw that Yiguang was depressed because of Shi Gong's death, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so I added more companionship and enlightenment, and I didn't have any personal feelings." ”

Wen Chong didn't believe his words, and said straightforwardly: "Yiguang is beautiful and unparalleled, and it is reasonable for you to fall in love; But don't forget, what we're talking about now is the restoration of the country, as a courtier of the Yue Kingdom, how can you ruin a big deal because of your children's personal affairs? ”

"I said that there is no personal relationship, why don't you believe it." When he wanted to say this, Fan Li's heart palpitated slightly, but he didn't have time to think about it, and said: "I will find a way to do it about the fish watching conference, and you are not allowed to fight the idea of razing the light again!" ”

Wen Chong scoffed at his words, "Do you want to use that trick to confuse the real with the fake and transfer the flowers and trees?" ”

"I'll be responsible for anything wrong......" Before Fan Li's words fell, the anger that had been pent-up in Wen Chong exploded instantly, grabbed Fan Li's clothes, and roared: "Are you responsible?" Can you afford it?! Once something goes wrong in this matter, not only the two of us will die, but the king will also be unable to live, and at that time, the Yue Kingdom will really be finished; If you keep saying that you have no face to go to see Shi Gong, then do you have the face to go to the king and meet the thousands of Yue people who were killed by the Wu army? Answer me, say yes! ”

Seeing that Fan Li was speechless, Wen Chong said again: "Obviously there is such a good chess piece in front of you, but you have to use inferior chess, isn't this deliberately embarrassing yourself?" ”

Seeing that he compared Yiguang to a chess piece, Fan Li's face sank, and he pulled his hand away and said, "Yiguang is a human, not a chess piece!" After a pause, he said again: "Yes, find someone to replace Yiguang, but there may be mistakes, but who dares to guarantee that there will be no problem for Yiguang to enter the palace, who killed Shi Gong, I know you also know that Yiguang entered the palace, half of it was to Yue Guo, and half of it was to avenge Shi Gong, once she knew that it was Gongsun Li who killed Shi Gong, she would never give up." ”

Wen Chong said disapprehantly: "So what? ”

"Gongsun Li is a subordinate of Wu Zixu, and the latter is a well-known protector, if Yiguang is not careful, he will find a clue, and he will find a way to kill Yiguang."

"Isn't that just the right thing to exacerbate the conflict between him and his husband?" Wen Chong's words were cold but not wrong, Fan Li also knew, so he didn't argue with him, but said: "I'm afraid that the gun will be easy to hide when the time comes, and it will be a waste of all your previous efforts!" Don't forget, how did those Yue girls who sent them to Gusu die. ”

Hearing this, Wenzhong's anger gradually subsided, although Fan Li's words were not listened to, but there was a little bit of truth, "Then what should I do?" ”

"There are still ten days to go, and we can plan carefully; You also take this opportunity to find out if there is a suitable Yue girl who can take on this important task. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Wen Chong nodded helplessly and walked out, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw a slender and weak figure, and said in surprise: "Miss Shi? When did you come? ”

Fan Li was startled, and hurriedly walked out, seeing Yiguang standing outside the door with an umbrella, his eyes couldn't help but leak a trace of panic......

"Shortly after arriving." Yiguang smiled slightly under the umbrella, like a hundred flowers blooming, even the literary genre, who has never loved beauty and only money, can't help but be a little distracted; Such a beauty is really rare in the world, no wonder King Wu will never forget it.

"Yiguang was worried that the two of you would have a dispute because of me, so I came over to take a look, I wonder if the two of you have agreed?"

"This ......" Wen Chong said with a hint of helplessness: "Brother Fan is not unreasonable, just forget about entering the palace." ”

Yi's long, thin eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a pair of slender shadows on the powder, "Can I say a few words to Mr. Fan?" ”

"Of course." Wen Chong replied and left with interest, leaving Yiguang and Fan Li alone.

Yiguang walked up the steps, closed the paper umbrella in his hand, rested it on the door, and then put his hands on his waist, bent his knees and bowed to Fan Li, who was surprised: "Why is this?" ”

"This gift is to thank Mr. for taking care of Yiguang." Yiguang's voice has always been gentle and beautiful, like the murmuring of a stream, and like the gentle cry of a hundred spirits.

Hearing this, Fan Li's heart was relieved, and he said to Yiguang, who maintained a bent posture: "This is what Fan should do, no need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Yiguang straightened up as he said, and a pair of autumn eyes fell on Fan Li, "Mr. Love, Yiguang has already thanked him, and please let Yiguang make his own decisions for the rest of the matter." ”

Fan Li was stunned, and his two heroic eyebrows curled up instantly, "You still want to enter the palace?" ”

"Yes." The word Yiguang said crisply and neatly, without a trace of hesitation, "No one is more suitable than me." ”

"Nope." Fan Li refused: "You don't need to worry about the restoration of the country, Brother Wen and I will find a way,"

Yiguang looked at Fan Li fixedly, and just when the latter thought that she was persuaded, Yiguang suddenly said: "Mr. is afraid that I will miss a big thing because of my father's hatred." ”

Fan Li didn't expect her to be able to see through her own thoughts, and she couldn't help but feel turbulent in her heart, and forced herself to calm down: "Don't think about it." ”

"Gongsun Li." Hearing these three words, Fan Li couldn't control the shock in his heart anymore, and blurted out: "Did you hear what I said to Brother Wenzhong?" ”

"Yes." A thin layer of water light floated in Yiguang's beautiful eyes, but it was only pressed down for a moment, as if it had never appeared, and he said quietly: "Sir, rest assured, after Yiguang enters the palace, everything will focus on the overall situation, and it will never embarrass Mr." ”

"You ......" With that delicate and unparalleled face, Fan Li didn't know what to say for a while.

Yiguang lowered his eyebrows and said: "My father's hatred cannot be forgotten, but Yiguang will see the right time before making a move, and he will never act rashly and ruin a big thing." Speaking of this, she raised her eyebrows, "In the final analysis, Gongsun Li is just an executioner, and it is the entire Wu Kingdom that really killed his father; Only when the state of Wu is destroyed, and my father can be blind under the nine springs. ”

Fan Li's expression was extremely complicated, he tried his best to refuse the language, and in a blink of an eye, Yiguang committed suicide and entered the palace, and he was so determined, it really made him difficult.

The endless chirping of cicadas in the courtyard took away the time little by little, and the wind blew, blowing each other's wide sleeves, like two butterflies fluttering off, but they couldn't fly high.

"Once you enter the palace gate, you are a traitor to the Yue Kingdom who is greedy for vanity, and you are a thorn in the side of Wu Zixu and even the people in the harem; On the contrary, even if Brother Wen and I fail to return to the country, Dongyun will take you out of Gusu to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend your life in peace. ”

"Under the nest, there are no eggs; Besides, what is the difference between living a life like that and being a walking corpse? With that, Yiguang stretched his sleeves and bowed down, and said again: "I just want Mr. to be fulfilled." ”

This answer completely extinguished the last trace of hope in Fan Li's heart, and looked at Yiguang with deep helplessness in his eyes, "I hope you don't regret today's decision!" ”

"Don't dare to regret it!" Yiguang lowered his head, his eyes fell on the dense embroidery on the cuffs, every stitch fell, for the brocade, it was an injury, but even with such dense stitches, the brocade was always willing.
