Chapter 165: Yuan Jue is jealous
The glass fell on me, and the wine in the glass instantly spilled all over me, and the glass fell from me to the ground.
There was only that "bang", and in an instant, everyone was quiet, and there was an atmosphere that emitted the smell of gunsmoke, which instantly permeated this dinner that should have been very harmonious.
The people in Yibu felt that it was a big fuss, the woman's face suddenly turned pale, and she sat aside, Yuan Jue pulled me up, and hid me sideways, although there was not much wine in the wine glass, but all of it was sprinkled on the hem of my clothes, wet the hem of the clothes, soaked into the underwear, and I could clearly feel the strange feeling that the pants were stained with wine on my legs.
"Presumptuous." Xiong Lie suddenly let out a loud shout, and the wine glass in his hand was suddenly placed on the table in front of him, and his eyes exuded a murderous aura as fierce as a beast. "How can you be so rude, come here......"
"No need." I spoke out to stop her, no matter what Xiong Lie said next, or beating or punishing, it would not make this innocent woman feel better, looking at her frightened appearance now, I couldn't bear to blame her. "I think this girl didn't mean to offend me, she kindly persuaded me to drink, and I myself was the one who made the girl offended. Don't care, the king, I'll just clean it up. ”
Yuan Jue was not at ease, he looked at me, and wanted to say that he would go with me.
"Hear that? Why don't you take your son to change his clothes. Xiong Lie continued to scold the woman who fell to the ground and scared her soul, and then said to Yuan Jue, "Second son, don't be angry, these subordinates have always been so unfavorable, and there is no malice. Let them accompany the ...... beside you Childe, let's go back to the tent and change clothes, and we will continue to drink. ”
Since Xiong Lie said so, if Yuan Jue insists on accompanying me to leave the table, I am afraid that it will be rude. Even if I know that he can't rest assured at the moment, I don't want him to continue to be embarrassed, not to mention that now that the cooperation between the two sides is imminent, it is better not to let him have an embarrassing relationship with Xiong Lie in such a trivial matter. I gently pushed his hand away, "I'm fine, the second son will stay and drink with the king, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”
"How careful you are." Yuan Jue secretly instructed.
I nodded, and left with the woman who had scrambled to her feet.
She led me back to the account, unlike the coquettish look she had just persuaded me to drink, and she was so frightened that she walked away with her head down. Walking to the tent, she stepped aside, "Childe...... Childe, please change your clothes ......"
"It's okay, you don't have to care." I persuaded her and went into the tent.
She was just instructed by others, and Xiong Lie wanted to test whether we would embarrass her.
It's just that when I suddenly saw the Yibe woman's costume on the bed, I woke up all of a sudden, Xiong Lie deliberately asked her to persuade me to drink at the dinner party, and then wet my clothes. He had already prepared for the placement of women's clothes in my tent, apparently trying to test my identity. Sure enough, he was aware of it.
I picked up my clothes and turned to walk out of the tent, trying to ask her what was going on.
But I almost bumped into the person who had just come in, but thankfully I reacted quickly and took a step back. Xiong Lie was stunned and stopped in place, he looked at me, his gaze gradually moved down, and fell on the clothes in my hand, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth. "Why, are you not satisfied with this dress?"
"Of course I am not satisfied, I don't know why the king prepared a woman's clothes and put them in my tent?" I deliberately pretended not to understand, picked up the clothes and questioned him, I had some doubts in my heart, Xiong Lie had just left Yuan Jue to drink with him, why did he follow me so quickly.
Xiong Lie didn't get angry at me when he questioned him, but asked me with a smile, "You are a girl, if you don't prepare women's clothes for you, do you have to prepare such ill-fitting clothes for you again?" ”
I didn't expect him to say it directly.
"I don't know if those people outside really care about you, and let you pretend to be their accomplices, dressed as men, and they are not afraid of putting you in danger." Xiong Lie didn't wait for me to answer, and then he said to himself, his tone changed subtly as he spoke. "After all, they are not as careful as this king, and in my Yibu, naturally they will not let women go into danger alone. This should be a man's responsibility. ”
"The king should not jump to conclusions too early." I knew that I couldn't hide my identity, so I simply spread out the explanation, "Since the king has seen through my identity, how can he not see through that they all know my identity." It was not that they were involved in the danger of me, as the king thought he had, but that I voluntarily went with them in this risk. ”
Xiong Lie's gaze was slightly playful. "When I learned your identity, I thought you were just a little woman who acted on orders, or the kind of subordinate who was respectful and submissive to his master, but now it seems that you have no lack of merit."
Will you know who I am?! In other words, he didn't see it completely for himself? But someone told him that he would be so sure? But who will sue him about my identity? It won't be those people who accompanied Yuan Jue, they told me about it, and it was no good. It shouldn't be Yun Chu, even if Yun Chu knows that I am in Yuan Jue's army, it is even more impossible to make trouble for Yuan Jue in vain.
Who, exactly? Who will sue him about me? And the focus of this joint effort has nothing to do with me, what good can it do to the whistleblower by telling Xiong Lie about my identity?
It's getting more and more complicated. "The king can continue to be a little woman who obeys my orders, or a subordinate who is submissive to his master. I don't care. ”
"But you weren't," Xiong Lie didn't mean to stop there. "Then can you sue me, since you have the ability to do it, why do you want to be with those people in Yu Kingdom?"
"Come to think of it, this is also my business, and it has nothing to do with the king." I don't want to answer.
He will take the opportunity to enter my tent when he knows that I will come back to change my clothes, and this man's intentions must be unkind.
"If you just want to be favored, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to follow the second son. Don't you know? Even if the second prince has some ability, but after the death of the old monarch of Yu Kingdom, he will never succeed to the throne, you follow him, it is impossible to get the glory and wealth you want, it is better to ......" Xiong Lie said as if he knew me very well, "You can stay in my Quxiong and be the concubine of this king, how about it?" ”
This man's arrogance is really beyond my tolerance, why is he so confident? It's a pity for Yuan Jue, before he thought that this Xiong Lie was a person with real skills, but now it seems that even if he joins forces with Xiong Lie, this person's conceit may not be able to help him succeed.
I followed suit.
Xiong Lie was a little confused by my brainless smile. "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at the second son's ignorance." I said, "He also thought that the king of the dignified Bear tribe was a talent and could join forces with him to conspire with the world, but he didn't expect that the king was just such an ordinary character." ”
"What do you say?" Even after listening to my disrespectful words, Xiong Lie didn't mean to be angry, but asked me.
"Before we came, we also inquired about the king. The king's father and brother died unjustly and tragically, and insisted on succeeding to the throne under pressure from all sides, we believe that you are a person who knows the inside story and the situation well, but like the second son, you just need a chance. I'm still thinking, with the experience and background of the two of you, if you join forces, you will definitely be able to create a grand event together, but I didn't expect the rumors we heard to be so ridiculous, it seems that the king is just an ordinary man, do you think I am approaching the second son for glory and wealth? I smiled to myself, making him even more depressed, "Not all women are as bad as you think. ”
At this moment, Xiong Lie was silent, and in the dim candlelight, his face could not tell whether it was black or blue, but it was as dark as a giant bear that was about to wake up and face prey. After being silent for a long time, I heard him speak, "You are so presumptuous, do you know the second son?" Do you want to be more important to him, or are you more important? ”
Is he saying this, but he is hinting at me?
He's telling me, what if he proposes to Yuan Jue at my expense in the name of joining forces? However, as I looked at Xiong Lie's confident face, I knew that he wasn't just threatening me.
That's right, I'm not sure that Yuan Jue will really choose me. Now that he is facing such a great calamity, the Eight Thousand Yi Warriors are far more important than one me, will he give up this low-hanging fruit opportunity for me?
"Actually, you don't like me, so why bother me." I smiled indifferently, even if he guessed what was on my mind, I also took it calmly, because I had already thought about what kind of person Yuan Jue was, even if he exchanged me for eight thousand warriors to help, what would it be.
That's right, Xiong Lie didn't like me, and the fact that he was openly interested in me confirmed that he didn't have this kind of affection for me, and the reason why he came here and said such things to me was that I think he just wanted to test me. Having seen with his own eyes my ability to drive the eagles away, he should have been even more curious about me.
Although I don't know, who told him about my identity behind his back, that person must be uneasy and kind, which can be seen from Xiong Lie's attitude towards me, that kind of contemptuous and disdainful attitude, I am afraid that he has already decided that I am a little woman who is greedy for vanity and relies on Yuan Jue. If you add to the contempt that his Yibu people have for the Yu people, I'm afraid what he really wants to ask me is, what kind of charm can make a person with special abilities like me tend to him with a person like Yuan Jue.
Xiong Lie just wants to prove that he is stronger than Yuan Jue, and he is the person we who are greedy for vanity and should be more attached to. Xiong Lie looks proud and arrogant, but in fact, he is very conceited in his bones, he not only looks down on Yu people like Yuan Jue and others, but also looks down on women, and even more looks down on women who are greedy for vanity.
"No matter what Yuan Jue chooses, I support his decision. My relationship with him is not something you can understand. But I still want to advise you, if you really want to do a career, then you should think carefully about who can be your partner, he has nothing now, it does not mean that he will always have nothing. Don't forget, the second son's mother is now the eldest lady in King Yu's palace, and their father has not died for a day, how do you know if it will be his brother Yuanhe or him who will inherit the throne? I said slowly, observing Xiong Lie's reaction, "Didn't the king decide that before the old leader died, it would be your short-lived brother who would inherit the throne of this leader?" ”
Xiong Lie's originally dim eyes just now suddenly flashed with stars.
"You and the second prince are the same, not only are you in the same situation now, but the opponents you are facing are also the same, Yibu and some forces within the Yu Kingdom. However, you all have the opportunity to choose your comrades. "But don't get involved with me," since I can let the flock leave, I can let them come back. ”
Xiong Lie laughed.
I stood there in silence.
"Okay, this king admits defeat." Xiong Lie suddenly opened his heart and said, "This king really has some misunderstandings about you, but up to now, this king has already understood very well what kind of woman you are. You can rest assured, this king will not blame them for this little thing, whether they are friends or enemies is not something that can be recognized overnight, but this king feels that the second son will be a good alliance. ”
"Now that the king's knot has been resolved, I don't know, are you willing to go out first?" I walked to the door and motioned to him, "If the king has nothing else to do, please wait outside, I'm going to change my clothes." ”
Xiong Lie smiled and walked outside the tent, and I lowered the curtain. This suddenly quieted down, I was wary of Xiong Lie who was still standing outside the tent, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, those words just now were the result of my continuous practice in the mountains for ten years, since the incident ten years ago, I began to pay attention to the deceitful thoughts in the world, and learn the way of thinking to deal with people's problems, but fortunately, from Xiong Lie's reaction just now, I didn't drag Yuan Jue's hind legs.
It's just that this Yibe woman's clothes are really strange enough. I looked left and right to make sure that there was really no other clothes to change into in the tent, so I resigned myself to my fate and began to change into this strange clothes.
It was the first time I had worn such a complicated dress, the long skirt that mopped the floor, the tinkling decorations and the bells on my ankles, and the long veil was strange. It's just that what's even more awkward is that the color of this dress is really bewitching enough, I've never tried such a bright red outfit, it's too bewitching and gorgeous.
“…… How could the king of the Quxiong tribe be here? ”
Xu I took too long to change my clothes, Yuan Jue waited for a long time in the banquet and didn't see me back, so he excused himself to look for it, but I didn't expect to meet Xiong Lie outside my tent, when I heard Yuan Jue's words, I clearly felt the anger in his words.
"Isn't the second son supposed to eat during the banquet?" Xiong Lie didn't mean to avoid his edge.
"I'm coming to see my people, how are the clothes changing." Yuan Jue seemed to say plainly, but one sentence caused a lot of waves, and there was no deep meaning in the words, which led people to reverie. (To be continued.) )
