Chapter 280: Late Dinner

At dusk, the red glow on the horizon is dazzling, and watching the sunset in the desert is the same as watching the starry sky on the sea

The afterglow of the setting sun flies, dividing a glorious capital city standing on the desert into two, the block is turned into a battlefield, the fragments of the building are piled up into a wall, the king's army and the city defense army are camped on both sides of the intersection of the palace and the block, and there is a magnificent broken bridge in the center, at this end of the bridge, Zhou Yihan is squatting next to the broken edge and looking at his feet, under which is the bottomless abyss, and the murmuring sound of water can be faintly heard

Princess Jiujiu told him that the system that kept the water flowing throughout the city was built by the original inhabitants of the city, and they added many modern technology products to it, which finally made Shadu, a unique city in the last days

"They can't use the water down there to poison it, right?"

Speaking of water, Zhou Yihan was most worried about this, turned his head and asked Princess Jiujiu, at this moment, he was not only followed by Princess Jiujiu, but also Sha Jia and a large group of officials who spoke in the king's army

Hearing what he said, he swore for a long time, and replied: "No, the water sources here are all single-item circulation, if you really want to poison, only at the source of the water station inside the palace."

In this way, Zhou Yihan was relieved, although at the same time he also had some regrets in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that poisoning them in the palace would poison the ordinary people on the other side of the bridge, it would have become much easier to deal with the city defense army.

Everyone had been at the broken bridge for a long time, and one of the officials couldn't help but ask him, "Your Majesty Qingjun, have you thought of any way?"

Since the city guards blocked the road, in the afternoon, everyone has walked along the edge of the blockade line with him on foot, and at this moment I am afraid that his legs are going to slip thin.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Yihan heard this, he replied very decisively: "What way? What way? Now that most of the ordinary people are in the hands of others, what can I do? Unless... You don't care about the lives of ordinary people, as long as we attack fast enough, it's still okay to save most people's lives."

"How can that be.."

As soon as his words fell, Princess Jiujiu blurted out: "Your Majesty Qingjun, it's already this time, please don't joke."

She only thought that what Zhou Yihan said was a joke, and Zhou Yihan didn't say anything more, got up from the broken edge, moved her body, and walked backwards: "Then I can't help it, it's impossible to rescue everyone at once.. Let's go back and rest.."

After that, he walked back towards the palace gate lazily and lazily, Sha Jia and Jiujiu saw this, and naturally immediately followed, as for the other officials, they are gone, after all, the battlefield can't be watched by no one, you can't expect Zhou Yihan to watch the scene, right?..

The three of them returned to the palace leisurely, without the secret deceit between the king and Prince An, the king quickly disposed of some known people beside him who were sent by Lu Xi'an, I believe that Lu Xi'an's side is the same, since the two sides have torn their faces and started a war, of course, it is impossible to keep the enemy's eyes by their side, and the palace is peaceful and peaceful

Walking through the cloister and through the garden, the beautiful scenery is overjoyed, as if even the spirit of the whole day has been relaxed

The three of them returned to the main hall and met the king, the king of the dignified capital, who was also very busy at the moment, while sorting out all the materials that could be gathered in the palace at present, packing them and sending them to the front line, and at the same time studying the ancient map of Shadu, preparing for the rescue of the ordinary people who were taken hostage by Lu Xi'an

It must be said that after this incident, he became more and more like a worthy king, alas.. Man.. Why do we always know to repent only after the mistakes have been made?

When they returned, the king would take them to inquire about the situation of the afternoon survey of the battlefield, accompanied by a number of high-ranking men from the royal family of Shadu, and they talked from dusk until the night was over, until the chef of the restaurant came to call them, and they stopped a little, and went to the dining room together, and had a supper called "dinner".

The dining room is a small square room, the decoration is not too luxurious, there is only a long table, two sofas, and a few oil paintings, after all, usually only the king and the princess Jiujiu will dine here, and the other members of the royal family have their own kitchens, private cooks, who would travel so far here every day for no reason to come here to eat?

Everyone entered the seats one after another, the king and Zhou Yihan sat at the end of both sides of the long table, Sha Jia and Jiu Jiu sat at the head of their left hand, the long table was full of delicacies and treasures, most of Zhou Yihan couldn't name it, thinking about his hard work in the past two days, touching his already hungry stomach, Zhou Yihan looked up at the king

After all, it is a guest at someone's house, and the host has to say a few words, move the chopsticks first, which is a gift for the guest

"Everyone.."

Sure enough, the king took the cup, and as soon as he sat down, he held the cup with both hands, facing everyone, except for Zhou Yihan, Sha Jia, and Princess Jiujiu, the members of the royal family saw this, and they also raised their glasses and waited for him to speak

By the way, the reason why Zhou Yihan and Sha Jia didn't raise their glasses was because they almost drank the poisoned wine by mistake at the previous banquet, although here and now, the king is unlikely to want their lives, but once they were bitten by a snake, they were afraid of the well rope for ten years

As for Princess Jiujiu, it's much simpler, and people are not guests

The king took his glass and toasted, "Everyone, thank you for everything you have done for Shadu... Although it may be a little late to say it now, I still want to tell you that the most fundamental reason for the situation in Shadu today is me... I have not fulfilled the duty of a city lord... I don't have the consciousness that a king should have. But.. From today onwards, I will not continue to make mistakes, and I hope that everyone here will be willing to help me as before. Before the Shadu was officially incorporated into the Temple of the Gods, the city was built in a better .."

After speaking, the king raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and the royal family members present also drank it, when the mellow wine flowed into their throats, their hearts were extremely relaxed, the king's remarks just now were profound, and they all heard it present, the king did not know that they took refuge in Lu Xi'an, but he chose to forget...

With such a big belly, Zhou Yihan couldn't help but look up to him a lot, and then turned his head, Sha Jia also had the same expression

After pouring a cup of sweet wine for him, the king didn't mean to stop it, and after pouring a full wine for him, he picked it up again, and said to Zhou Yihan, who was the farthest away from him, and said: "Your Majesty Qingjun, I have also worked hard for you today, if it weren't for you, it would be possible.. I won't have the chance to say that again... Other than that.. And thank you to this little friend, it was your words that woke me up and gave me the strength to stand up again... Thanks.."

The king took the cup and smiled at Zhou Yihan and Sha Jia respectively, Sha Jia's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and seeing that the king served the cup again, the others couldn't just sit and watch like that, so they all raised their glasses to them, including Jiujiu

Seeing that so many people were holding glasses, Sha Jia looked at Zhou Yihan with some embarrassment, and the bright-eyed Princess Jiujiu found this, so she took the wine glass and took the initiative to get up and walk towards them

Before approaching, she first picked up the wine glass placed in front of Sha Jia and poured some into her own wine glass, but when she reached out again to get the wine glass in Zhou Yihan's hand, he reached out and stopped it.

"Thank you for the wine, Your Majesty is kind. Take people's money and people to eliminate disasters.. I just did what I was supposed to do.."

Zhou Yihan picked up the wine glass and swayed it, and then drank it in one gulp.

This time, he really drank it, and the wine of Shadu has a special taste, a special aroma like spices, very rich and sweet, and it is endless

And when they saw him drink it, Princess Jiujiu and Shaga, the king and the people also drank it one after another.

The second glass of wine into the stomach, everyone was already a little dizzy, originally drank wine was not like this, but look at these two people who lifted the wine...

Princess Kujiu returned to her seat, and the feast began.

However, at the beginning, Zhou Yihan found a problem, these people ate too gently, chewed slowly, originally before seeing them, Zhou Yihan thought that his eating appearance was already very polite, who knew that people were more polite.. Eat a piece of oily meat, and don't get oil stars on the side of your mouth, can you believe this?

If you don't say that people are from the court, no matter how hungry you are, you can't forget the table manners.

The whole dining room is silent, except for the cups and dishes, you can't even hear the slightest superfluous sound, and even if there is occasionally, it is Saga

Gradually, half a minute passed, Zhou Yihan was in this unconsciously extremely weird atmosphere, hungry to watch them eat for half a minute, until Sha Jia next to him saw him and reminded him, he didn't react, in this kind of place, eating with them is a kind of torment in itself, not that there are any rules and restrictions on the table, but you see a bunch of people doing that, and you yourself are embarrassed to make any particularly rude actions...

"Your Majesty the Green Monarch Crown. What's the matter, is the food unappetizing?.."

Finally someone spoke, it was Princess Jiujiu, Zhou Yihan touched his cheek, shook his head at her, and after a long time, he once again activated his bright-eyed natural skills, picked up his dinner plate and went to the lower position next to his right hand to sit down, fortunately, the table here is big enough, they don't even have a full seat, if the seat is full at this time, while eating, someone suddenly knocks on his shoulder, and wants to change places with himself, it will be too interesting..
