Chapter 260: Dry Well

However, in the blink of an eye, several guards suddenly poured in outside the temple gate and forcibly dragged all the musicians out, and the musicians begged and yelled all the way, so terrible that they could be heard from afar, but only a moment later, not far from the hall, there was a strange sound of knives rising and falling, and in an instant, there seemed to be a few things falling to the ground, with a crisp and muffled sound, and even, there was a hideous sound of rolling down several circles.

The faces of the people present changed, and some of the timid people were already trembling.

The king of Chu was already white, but his eyes were strange red.

Suddenly, he hooked his lips and smiled, and even swept towards the people present with a smile, opened his thin lips, and only said: "I am entangled in trivial matters, but let the distinguished guests of all countries see jokes." ”

He spoke lightly, but his pupils were hideous and terrifying.

Where is this a joke, this is clearly a weird and hideous killing.

None of the people present replied, and their expressions were complicated and distant. Sihan lowered his head slightly and sat quietly, although he was calm and calm on the surface, he was already on guard.

"The trivial things at home are indeed difficult to settle. It's rare that the King of Chu can still sit and entertain us, as far as the attitude of the King of Chu is concerned, I have to give the King of Chu a cup first. ”

At this moment, Dong Lincang spoke again, and his leisurely and easy-going voice also took the lead in breaking the silent and solidified atmosphere.

As soon as these words fell, he personally reached out and filled a glass of wine, gently held up the wine cup with his slender fingertips, and looked at the King of Chu with a smile, "King Chu, please." ”

The king of Chu was full of anger, and his mood was really difficult to calm down. There were so many unexpected things today that she was caught off guard.

As soon as the so-called ghost was said, he naturally didn't believe it. What's more, that person has been dead for so many years, and his body is gone, so he can suddenly make trouble in that palace for a few days!

Even, he had already heard in the past two days that his sister-in-law Xiao Lou had already recovered from his injuries and had no worries about his life, so if he continued, Xiao Lou would recover from his injuries very quickly, so that he would recover completely, but he never expected that his son, who had already improved, suddenly died this morning, and he didn't even have time to deal with his son's funeral, nor did he have time to ask more, and suddenly, his queen died suddenly.

The ghost said, he naturally didn't believe it, if the woman wanted to use the ghost to retaliate, she would have already taken revenge, why wait until this time to break out layer by layer! Therefore, instead of believing in the ghost theory, he believed that there were living ghosts in the palace, and that there was always nothing to do in the palace, and since he beat the people who lived in various countries, there have been frequent incidents, so if he has a good conversation, then the so-called living ghosts will be in public in these countries.

So, who will be the real murderer behind the scenes?

At this point, the King of Chu's face became more and more gloomy, his eyes swept over the faces of the people of all the countries present one by one, and finally, his eyes fell on the phoenix crown on Sihan's head.

His eyes were surprisingly cold and gloomy, and he never concealed the fierce aura.

Sihan frowned slightly, raised his eyes and stared towards the King of Chu, he was also unaccustomed to being stared at by him like this.

This huge hall of rites, the flow of people is noisy, this King of Chu doesn't stare at anyone, but stares at her angrily and murderously, is it possible, this King of Chu is thoughtful, and suddenly, he actually doubted everything on her?

Thinking of this, Sihan was also stunned for a moment.

But at this moment, Dong Lincang chuckled, and said lazily and slowly again: "The king of Chu ignores it, but he looks down on it?" ”

The ridiculous voice undoubtedly rolled up a little interest.

King Chu's pupils shrank, and he finally came back to his senses, his eyes swept towards Donglin, and then he said: "The phoenix crown on the head of the eldest princess of Donglin is really delicate and special. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and raised the wine cup in front of him, which had already been filled with wine by the servants, and continued to face the east and said, "I will punish myself with a glass first." ”

As soon as these words fell, he raised his head and drank the wine.

After the palace slave quickly and respectfully poured a full cup of wine for him again, he said slowly towards Donglincang: "Donglin Gongzi, please." ”

Dong Lincang smiled softly, raised his glass slightly, and then drank the wine.

When everything was finished, the king of Chu put down the wine cup and began to order the palace slaves to serve the meal quickly.

The palace slaves did not dare to delay, and responded respectfully, but after a while, some palace slaves entered the hall one after another with dinner, and respectfully set the meals on the low table of the people in the hall one by one.

Several other musicians were also arranged by the people below to re-enter and began to play with great care.

For a while, the gentle and smooth music rose slowly, and it was extremely rare to alleviate the gloomy atmosphere of the hall.

The face of the king of Chu finally improved a little, and the people present were greeted by the majesty. The people of all the countries did not say much, but they all responded with a few words with different expressions, and then lowered their eyes and began to eat.

For a while, the dishes in the hall are intertwined with the aroma of wine, and the atmosphere is leisurely.

Soon, there were dancers who came to cheer up, dancing with long sleeves, singing lightly, and all of them had beautiful faces, but they saw that the people present were fascinated.

In the casual and leisurely atmosphere, Sihan had a poor appetite, and he only used a few bites of food casually before stopping chopsticks. Most of the meals in this Chu country are sweet and light, Sihan is slightly unaccustomed, and after a few mouthfuls of food, he begins to drink tea.

She glanced at Dongfang Yan on the right, and saw that he had not eaten, and the whole person sat cross-legged, as if he was calm and relaxed.

This guy only injured his legs and feet in the hunting ground a few days ago, and now he has been sitting cross-legged for so long, and he doesn't know if his legs and feet can be eaten. Come to think of it, if you want to maintain a calm and majestic atmosphere, you naturally have to suffer some hardships, but this Dongfang Yan seems to have never been afraid of pain, thinking that both legs are numb or even useless in pain at this time, this guy will not twist his body to adjust his posture, and lose his full dignity.

At this point, Sihan sneered, and then looked back, and heard a slight chewing sound in his ears, which was slightly strange.

She subconsciously followed the sound and turned her eyes to the left, and saw that Dong Lincang had a rare gaffe and reached out to grab a chicken leg directly, gnawing without any image.

This guy is doing this, but it is strange and inexplicable, and he is completely unconvinced by his elegant temperament, or maybe this guy has always had a lazy and weird nature, but after thinking about it, he also has a little bit of a heart.

It's just that now in the palace of the King of Chu, the banquet of Hongmen, this guy still eats so happily, and he is not afraid of being poisoned by the meal prepared by the King of Chu.

Sihan stared at him expressionlessly, and was about to turn his eyes away, but the guy suddenly chuckled, lost the thing in his hand, and then said softly to Sihan: "Eating recklessly makes the eldest princess smile." ”

Sihan looked at him indifferently and didn't intend to reply.

He was not annoyed, looked at Sihan with a smile, and continued: "The lower two hands are slippery, can you borrow the eldest princess's handkerchief to wipe it?" ”

When these words came into his ears, Sihan frowned slightly.

This Dong Lincang always has something to talk to her, and he can always smile at her as if he is naturally familiar. It's just that I have to say that she and this Donglincang are only a few sides of the relationship, and they are not familiar with each other, and it is undoubtedly strange that this guy is so close.

Sihan raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and looked at him coldly.

He wasn't in a hurry, just looked at Sihan so softly.

The two confronted each other silently for a moment, and Sihan finally lowered his eyes, and then took out his handkerchief and handed it to him. He did not delay or be polite, he immediately reached over and took it, and after wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he actually moistened it with the tea he had drunk on the table, and then handed the handkerchief to Sihan's low table.

The handkerchief was already dirty and greasy, and it was rubbed together.

Sihan lowered his eyes and swept towards the handkerchief, the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching a little, Dong Lincang smiled gently and softly, and his blurted voice was like a spring breeze, "Thank you eldest princess." Although it is dirty, it can be used slightly by washing the toilet with tea. Don't dislike the eldest princess. ”

This person's words always have the ability to drive people crazy, and even ridicule and thorn each sentence, which makes people feel unfair.

Sihan forcibly pressed his mind, glanced at him, and didn't have the intention to do much care, just ignored him anymore and continued to drink tea slowly.

The whole night banquet lasted for three hours. During this period, the atmosphere was harmonious and calm, and nothing happened.

It's just that the more calm this hall is, the more uneasy it is, as if everything is surging in the dark tide, just for the moment when the catharsis is completely exploded.

After all the people present had eaten and drunk, this night banquet was gradually coming to an end.

At this time, there were many people who were drunk, but those people were all from the Chu State, and the people from all the countries were still sitting at the low table, their eyes were clear, and no one was drunk.

Sihan swept towards the people of all countries, and his heart was clear. Thinking of coming to the King of Chu to set up a banquet this time, the people of these countries are still wary after all, and they have never really let down their guard to eat these Great Chu meals happily.

At this time, the king of Chu sent someone to help all the drunk people in the palace out, and some of the relatives of the drunken ministers gradually left.

Not long after, in the huge hall of ceremonies, almost all the people of the Chu State left, and the remaining people of the Chu State were full of strength and sharp expressions, like military generals waiting for an opportunity.

Everything seems to have been planned, and the rest of the ministers of Chu have all left, leaving the military generals in their original positions, and with this, the ambition of the king of Chu will gradually become clear.

Sihan knew it in his heart, and his slender fingertips slightly grasped the teacup, and his fingertips rubbed carelessly on the teacup. His reaction was too obvious, and the elements of the act were also very obvious, and for a while, it caused everyone present to look sideways and have different faces.

The King of Chu raised his voice, and he didn't feel any surprise, his small pupils glanced around the Great Qi Wenchen a few times, and then sent the palace slave to help the Great Qi Wenchen out of the main hall.

The Great Qi Wenchen left too easily, until the palace slave helped him to completely disappear into the depths of the hall, and the rest of the people in the hall came back to their senses slightly, and everyone was stunned and complicated, I really didn't expect the King of Chu to let go of the Great Qi Wenchen so easily.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall had already completely stopped.

Loulan Anyi Marquis smiled roughly, raised his head and said to the King of Chu: "Tonight's dinner is really enjoyable, thank you to the King of Chu for your hospitality." “

There was no smile on the face of the King of Chu, and his narrow gaze fell towards An Yihou, "An Yihou is happy." But now, I have a matter to discuss with you. Compensation"

These words were undoubtedly in the words, and the people present knew it in their hearts, and they all cheered up, and looked at the king of Chu shrewdly and deeply.

King Chu's eyes flowed, his thin lips opened, and he only said: "My big birthday, I kindly invited you to come to congratulate you on your birthday." But after you arrived at my Chujing Palace in the past few days, what happened in the palace was undoubtedly strange and inexplicable. I have never believed in ghosts, but I believe in madmen and are ruthless. For example, a few nights ago, the crescent moon hall was on fire, the hunting ground was attacked, and even today's emperor and queen were suddenly killed, should you give me an explanation? Or, you are looking for this cold-blooded murderer for me, and avenging my emperor and queen. ”

As soon as these words fell, An Yihou smiled roughly, "In this matter, it seems that the king of Chu should look for the murderer on his own behind his back, and then give Benhou an explanation." But when the king of Chu said this, didn't he think that what happened in the past few days was a deliberate attempt by my countries to kill your Chu country? ”

The King of Chu had a complicated face, and his heart was straightforward, "How can it be!" Before you wait for the future, I Chujing is stable and peaceful. When you come, my well-born crescent moon hall will be burned, the hunting grounds will be attacked, and even the emperor and queen of me will all be killed suddenly. All this is not the work of your countries, could it be that I directed and acted by myself? No matter how ruthless I am, I will never take the emperor and queen of me, and even burn the crescent moon hall, or even raid the hunting ground, etc., it will not benefit me and the Chu State at all! No matter how bad I am, I won't be at this juncture, which is not good for you! ”

This was said in a high-sounding manner, and even mixed with a little anger, but after these words were blurted out, no one present was moved and trusted.

An Yihou didn't say anything immediately this time, but swept his eyes around, and only said: "What King Chu said is not unreasonable. If these are really not the actions of the King of Chu, then someone is deliberately trying to frame the State of Chu, and even deliberately murder him. And looking at the countries, my Loulan rarely fights with the countries, and there is no reason to stir up trouble, and the rest is only the British Tanglin, as well as the Tanglin. ”

As soon as these words fell, Dongfang Yan looked at An Yihou with cold eyes, but did not say a word.

Marquis An Yi swept towards the east, smiling more and more roughly, "It's just that among these countries, Tanglin has just experienced a war, and Ding Ling is ruined, so he will not have the courage to make trouble in the Chu State." And the son of Donglin of Daying, who seems to be not a sharp person, will not be idle and will not have nothing to do, yes, in addition to Daying and Tanglin, the only thing that is the most suspicious is the prince of Tanglin. After all, Tanglin has long had the heart to sweep the nations, and in recent months, it has also been eyeing Great Chu......"

He didn't finish his words, and as soon as he got there, he suddenly stopped.

King Chu's complicated gaze also fell towards the east, his pupils shrank, and his face became more and more cold and gloomy, "Prince Tanglin, do you have anything to say?" ”

Dongfang Yan sneered: "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!" This hall has the heart to sweep the Great Chu, and it will sweep openly, instead of frequently doing those villains. ”

The king of Chu did not believe him.

Those things that happened one after another, he was also caught off guard, and he was even more overwhelmed. Even, those things happened too viciously and suddenly, he didn't have time to predict and prevent it, it happened suddenly, these days, in addition to every time he forcibly remedied it afterwards, every time he was in a hurry to clean up the mess! He seems to have changed from the initiative of a host to the passivity of being calculated and threatened at any time! Even since the fire in the Crescent Moon Temple, he has been passive and has been cleaning up the mess! He really wanted to know who dared to make a fortune in Chujing like this, and who dared to ask for the lives of his emperor and queen! But now that I think about it, there is no doubt that this Dongfang is the most suspicious. Just like what the Marquis of An Yihou said when he entered the palace last night, this Dongfang Martyrdom is indeed full of suspicions.

His face was very dark, and the gaze that fell on Dongfang Yan's face was extremely cold.

"So far, the prince of Dachu is not ready to tell the truth?" Feng asked gloomily, his face was sharp, his pupils were undulating, shrewd and cold, and even strange and steep, obviously like a lion hibernating.

Sihan's hand rubbing the cup paused slightly, and his gaze subconsciously fell towards Dongfang beside him.

Dongfang Yan's face was slightly gloomy, and the feeling of being questioned in public was undoubtedly not very comfortable, and it also hit his fierce might.

He met the gaze of the King of Chu majestically, without any intention of evading it, and then opened his thin lips and said coldly: "This hall has already said that this hall acts above board, and it is fair and upright, the facts that should be said, this hall has already said it, what does the king of Chu want this hall to say?" ”

"In this way, the prince of Tanglin doesn't want to admit it?" King Chu said gloomily.

As soon as these words fell, the Marquis of Loulan An on the other side also began to help, "A really vicious thief generally won't admit that he is a thief." It's just that everything that happened in the past few days, although it seems strange and unclear, has already revealed the truth. The prince of Tanglin has already had the heart to destroy the state of Chu, and this time he came to Chu, not only with some retinues like the rest of the country, but directly led a few warships over, and the troops he carried were not to be underestimated, so, the prince of Tanglin dared to say that you came to Chu this time, and did not mean to destroy Chu? ”

Dongfang Yan's pupils shrank, and he turned his eyes to look at An Yihou.

His heart was already slightly fluctuating, gloomy and cold. But he really didn't expect that although he knew that tonight's banquet was a Hongmen banquet, he didn't know that this Marquis of Lan'an would also help the King of Chu to run and threaten him.

In this way, it seems that after this Marquis An Yi secretly entered the palace of the King of Chu last night, he must have reached an agreement or alliance with the King of Chu, and wanted to join forces to bring him down first.

Once he falls in the East, he will naturally lack his general, and once the killing of the Prince of Dachu flows away in Tangling, Donglin will be panicked and the army will be disheartened, so if Da Chu and Loulan jointly attack Tanglin, his Dongling country will undoubtedly be these two countries. Fat meat from the thief's mouth.

Dongfang Yan knew it from the bottom of his heart, and the King of Chaochu and An Yihou, whose eyes were as cold as a blade, glanced at each other, and only said that the two of them sang and harmonized, but they cooperated very perfectly.
