Shu Niu's pupils were gradually dilated. He finally looked at Ji Le and continued to complain:
"I... I just hate that I have a bad background... Otherwise, how... how could I end up like this? I hate... I hate..."
Shu Niu ended up where he is today, in fact, more because of his paranoia. He regarded the sufferings he identified as caused by the injustice of the world.
I heard Shu Niu take a few more rapid breaths, but in the end he couldn't take a breath and died.
Seeing this, Ji Le could not help but kneel on the ground and sob.
She recalled that Shu Niu had taken great care of her when she was a child. Sometimes she couldn't even tell whether he treated her out of sincerity and kindness? Or did he really have ulterior motives?
But at the same time, she thought of her deceased father and brother. Now that her great revenge had been avenged, she felt even more relieved.
For a moment, complex emotions spread in her heart.
After the situation was settled, Li Ran helped Ji Le and said:
"Le'er, his body... what do you think should be done with it?"
Ji Le glanced at Shu Niu's body and shook his head:
"Brother Meng has done many evil things... Now he is to blame for himself. I will not bury him, let alone enshrine him in the ancestral hall of the family. And now the Shusun family is even less likely to accept him, so I'd better trouble the chief minister to take him away.
Let’s bury the dead of Wu and Yue here together…”
Sun Wu stood aside, raised his hands and bowed in response:
"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll have someone take care of it."
So, Sun Wu ordered people to carry Shu Niu's body down the mountain, and arranged for it to be buried with the dead people of Wu State.
Li Ran and others, escorted by Sun Wu, also arrived at the Wu camp.
On the way, Li Ran and Sun Wu told the whole story of the madam's funeral.
When Sun Wu heard this, he was quite surprised. He immediately turned around and apologized to his wife:
"It turns out... It was indeed Sun Wu who had made his wife suffer this unjust injustice. Today, Sun Wu just found out the whole story. It turns out that it was so difficult for her! Sun Wu had made many verbal offenses before, please forgive me!"
Ji Le shook his head and said:
"Chang Qing, you don't have to be like this... Actually, Chang Qing had doubts in the past, and it was not without reason. It was just because I couldn't admit my identity at that time, so I had to deny it... but I didn't want to, but it would cause trouble between you and your husband.
There was a rift..."
Sun Wu also shook his head and said:
"How dare you, how dare you... Madam, you are serious! Today, Mr. and Madam meet again. It can be said that the sky has eyes! It is really gratifying!"
At this point, Li Ran and Ji Le couldn't help but hold hands again.
They looked at each other, and their eyes were full of deep affection and deep affection.
"Yes! God has treated me well! He allowed me to finally know the truth, so that I won't regret it for the rest of my life..."
Sun Wu was also in a good mood and immediately said:
"As long as we have nothing to do here, I will inform the King of Wu and retire with my husband! We will live nearby by then. I wonder what your husband will do?"
Sun Wu said and patted Fan Li heavily on the shoulder. Fan Li was worried, obviously worried about Liguang. But Sun Wu didn't know this yet, so he said again:
"It's just that the young uncle is young and has not yet fully demonstrated his talent and learning. It is really a pity..."
While talking, the group arrived at the Wu army camp, and Bo Pu had already been ordered to come and prepare to accept the surrender of Yue King Gou Jian.
After hearing the news, the team member expressed extreme dissatisfaction as expected, as if he was talking angrily to Bo Pu.
When Sun Wu heard them arguing in the camp, he smiled bitterly and wanted to take Li Ran to his tent.
"Sir, you'd better go to my tent and have a rest first. In the past few days, I heard that the King of Wu has accepted the surrender of King Gou Jian of Yue, and Dr. Bo Pu has also made a promise in front of the King, and is ready to take Gou Jian to the Kingdom of Wu as a hostage!
"
Li Ran glanced at the soldiers' camp. Under the firelight, two figures stood out.
"I wonder where King Wu is now?"
After hearing Li Ran's question, Sun Wu replied:
"In order to facilitate the surrender, Your Majesty has been stationed at the Qiantang Camp thirty miles away! In fact, I have just learned that King Wu is about to surrender."
"However, I have already predicted this, because I have repeatedly urged King Wu to send food quickly in the past few days. However, there has been no response, and I have already inferred the king's intention from this.
.”
"Obviously, King Gou Jian of Yue had already made preparations for surrender. It is said that his official, Wen Zhong, secretly sent more than a dozen beautiful women to the rear camp on the recommendation of Bo Pu."
"The king of Yue, Gou Jian, is the best at using beauty traps, and the king is fond of dancing, dancing, and beauties. This move by the king of Yue can be said to be to suit him! Alas, now that the king has accepted the king of Yue's request to surrender, he has actually left himself with endless troubles.
!...Moreover, Brother Zixu will do his best to oppose it in order to avenge the late king."
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and then lamented:
"Chang Qing... Among the beauties presented by the King of Yue, one is Guang'er..."
When Sun Wu heard this, his eyes widened:
"Ah? Is this happening?"
Fan Li, who was standing aside, also nodded:
"This was planned by Shu Niu. It is said that he has now entered the Wu camp..."
Sun Wu said anxiously:
"Then... let's take this matter sooner rather than later. Wu will go to meet the king! No matter what, we must get Guang'er back!"
Li Ran saw Sun Wu was about to leave, but he grabbed his wrist.
"I'm afraid it's already too late now, and Fu Chai is headstrong and self-willed, and Chang Qing is already a master of martial arts. I'm afraid that King Wu Fu Chai can't tolerate you..."
When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and felt a little frustrated.
Obviously, although Li Ran had never stayed in Wu State, his words were indeed extremely accurate.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Sir... It is exactly as Sir said... Brother Zixu and I have been leading troops abroad all year round, so we have long been jealous of the King!"
"But... no matter what, regarding Guang'er's matter, even if I risk my life, I, Sun Changqing, will fight with your Majesty on the basis of reason!"
Li Ran sighed secretly:
"If Chang Qing goes... I'm afraid that not only will it not help the matter, but it may even harm Guang'er!"
Sun Wu was shocked again when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but nodded and replied:
"It does make sense... At present, the king does not know Guang'er's identity, and Guang'er's life is not in danger. If the king is informed of this news... I am afraid it will be detrimental to Guang'er..."
"That's it... then... what should we do?!"
Li Ran thought for a moment, then covered it up with his long sleeves, coughed violently, wiped the corners of his mouth lightly, and then said:
"Chang Qing, how long does it take to get to King Wu's camp from here?"
