The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 23
Mi Mansion Corridor.

Mi Yuan walked back and forth in Tsing Yi, frowning and lost in thought.

"Uncle said just now that he didn't send anyone to assassinate him. That's strange. Who killed Fan Shibo?" Mi Yuan was puzzled.

Who benefits the most from Fan Li's death?Who can't wait to kill Fan Li and Xi Shi?

Based on the principle that whoever benefits the most is the murderer, Mi Yuan deduces that Chu State is the most likely.

Because the state of Chu and the state of Yue were about to go to war, and Fan Li was from the state of Yue. If he went back to help the king of Yue, it would be bad news for the state of Chu.

However, if the king of Chu wanted to kill Fan Li, he would not fail to inform his uncle who was the great Sima, so it should not be the king of Chu.

Who else is there?
"Could it be the remnants of the Wu Kingdom?"

Mi Yuan could only think about the state of Wu. After all, King Wu almost destroyed the state of Yue. If not for the king of Yue, Goujian, who endured the humiliation and endured the burden of humiliation, and asked Fan Li to offer gifts to the king of Wu, using a beauty trick.

He has fascinated the King of Wu for 17 years and favored Xi Shi so much that he bought enough time for King Goujian of Yue, and finally fled back to the State of Yue and led an army to attack the State of Wu.

The King of Wu was so obsessed with Xi Shi that he did not go to court for many years. The government was exhausted and the army had no fighting spirit. In the end, the Yue army captured the capital.

The state of Wu was destroyed.

For so many years, the survivors of Wu State hated Xi Shi and Fan Li deeply. If it wasn't for them, how could Wu State be destroyed?

"But it's not right. Wu Kingdom has been destroyed for so many years, and few people know where Fan Shibo lives. It can't be such a coincidence."

After much deliberation, Mi Yuan didn't have a clue, so she just shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

"Anyway, Fan Shibo has already gone, sister Yue must be safe."

Mi Yuan wanted to visit Fan Siyue more in the future, the most important thing was to see Miss Su.

Even though he was disturbed by Fan Li's incident these days, when he calmed down, there was one figure that always lingered in his mind, and that was Miss Su.

Mi Yuan's remark on that day was still fresh in his memory, and he chewed on Su Lin's remark repeatedly when he was free.

I found it very reasonable. I learned from the caravan from the Qin State that the Qin State's reforms have initially achieved results. Everyone follows the laws of the Shang Lord, and the national power is booming.

He will definitely be the great enemy of Chu in the future.

"But how should the Chu Kingdom go?" Mi Yuan's face showed a look of concern for the country and its people.

Shaking his head and walking away.

Mi Yuan guessed that it was the king of Chu or the survivors of Wu who killed Fan Li, but he still missed one person.

Vietnam Palace.

The light in the empty hall was a bit dim, and an oil lamp was lit on the wooden table in front of the throne above, and a middle-aged man in black Chinese clothes was reading the message on the bamboo slips.

The man was about 30 years old, in his prime, with a long face and a small beard between his lips, showing a mighty air.

He is Yue Wang Wuqiang, the grandson of Yue Wang Goujian, who has only inherited the throne for a few years, and is considered an ambitious hero.

The Yue Kingdom dominates the southeast, but it is only a regional power, unable to participate in the Central Plains war at all. Wu Qiang knows that if he wants to dominate the Central Plains, the first step is to conquer the Chu State in the west.

Now the national power is still prosperous, but there are no talents in the country to use. If it continues to drag on, the national power will be slowly exhausted, and it will be difficult to rise again.

It is Yue's last chance to fight to the death with Chu.

Before starting a war, all adverse factors that may affect the outcome of the war must be eliminated.

Among them is Fan Li.

A man walked in from outside the hall, wearing black leather boots and a black military uniform. He had a solemn expression and a murderous aura about him. Only people who have been on the battlefield for many years can have this murderous aura.

Wearing a black iron mask on his face, there is no sign of happiness or sadness.

He is the guard next to King Yue, and also a dead man, who is responsible for assassination, spying on intelligence and other dark things.

"See my king." The guard folded his hands and knelt on one knee.

"What's the matter?" King Yue asked in a deep voice, still looking at the bamboo slips.

"Fan Li refused to come back, and my subordinates ordered him to..." He said with a chopping motion.

"Well, well done."

There was a gleam of coldness in King Yue's eyes. As a native of Yue, Fan Li had an indistinct relationship with Chu.

At this critical period when Yue and Chu are about to go to war, there is absolutely no room for any mistakes, and no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.

The story of his grandfather's suffering through hardship told him that he must never show the slightest mercy to a threatening enemy, and nip it in the bud before it starts.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he ordered someone to invite Fan Li to come out of the mountain, but Fan Li refused blindly, and recently he has no clear understanding with Chu State.

After learning that Mi Yuan visited Fan Li, the King of Yue became murderous.

No matter how much Fan Li had contributed to the Yue State before, as long as there was a threat, he must be eradicated. This is the mean and ungrateful King of Yue.

We must know that if Fan Li and Xi Shi hadn't sacrificed themselves to buy time for Yue, otherwise they would have been destroyed by Wu.

After the restoration of the Yue Kingdom, Fan Li and Xi Shi went boating and lived in seclusion, because they knew that the King of Yue, Gou Jian, was mean and ungrateful, and could only share adversity, not wealth.

Fan Li would not help Chu State deal with his mother country, and only wanted to spend the rest of his life peacefully with Xi Shi.

but.

Because of his own suspicion, the current king of Yue is going to kill the heroes of the year, which is sad and deplorable.

"Fan Li also has a daughter who was not at home that night, what should I do?" the man continued to ask.

King Yue raised his head, cast his cold eyes, and spoke in an extremely indifferent voice.

"Cut the grass and remove the roots!"

"Yes."

The guard trembled slightly and nodded.

At the same time, he felt sad in his heart. Lord Fan Li had spent half his life worrying about the country of Yue, but he never expected that he would end up like this in the end, and even his only daughter would have to be buried with him.

The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden.

The guards still remembered that fiery night, when Fan Li learned that they were sent by the King of Yue, he didn't resist and accepted his death gladly.

It was only at the last moment of his life that he uttered his last plea.

"I, Fan Li, have spent my whole life for Yue. I only hope that my king will let go of my only daughter. I have nothing else to ask..."

Then the flames engulfed Fan Li and Xi Shi, and the guard's cold heart felt a little sad. He had killed many people, and they were all dangerous people in the Yue Kingdom.

But Mr. Fan is a hero of Yue State, why should he treat him like this?

The guard walked out of the hall and looked up at the dark sky. It was the prelude to the coming rainstorm, and his mood was as low as his.

For the first time, he was disgusted with everything here.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, I have to break my promise to you."

After speaking, his eyes returned to indifference, and he walked away.

Dahan Village.

The rabbit house is complete, and the baby rabbit nest is still easy to find for experienced militiamen.

I found four litters of young rabbits, about 30 of them, and surrounded the city with stones in several small circles in the stone house, and raised them separately.

These litters of young rabbits are all gray, similar to the color of withered grass, and it is also the protective color of young rabbits. There are very few white rabbits like that.

The rabbit house only needs to send a farmer's wife to manage the feeding, and there is no need to waste too much manpower.

You just need to keep the rabbit house clean, don't let the young rabbits get infected with diseases, feed less and more meals every day, and ensure sufficient drinking water, and you should be fine.

When there is any problem in the feeding process, I am trying to solve it.

The hare has a strong ability to survive and reproduce. If there are no natural enemies, the number of hares can occupy the entire land if the hares are allowed to reproduce.
