That's right. King Huo Ran of Chu got up, his eyes red, "That's right, Lao Jiu, your existence is a mistake." ”

The Ninth Prince shook his head and smiled sadly, and the room was quiet for a while.

King Chu looked at the Nine Princes, and then at Xie Yutang, and the yin owl under his eyes was almost overflowing.

After a long time, he restrained his emotions, sat down on the chair dejectedly, wiped his face, and said in a very vicissitudes of tone, "Lao Jiu, you shouldn't talk to me like this." ”

The Nine Princes closed their eyes, but did not speak again.

Xie Yutang was playing with the cup in his hand, and his expression was very calm, as if he had expected all this.

He always knew that after the King of Chu ascended to that position, the person changed, but what he didn't expect was that the King of Chu would become so thorough.

Just now, he watched coldly, and he once again discovered that something was wrong with the King of Chu, was the previous King of Chu also like this? Xie Yutang found that he didn't seem to be able to imagine it anymore.

The three of them sat silently for a long time.

In the end, it was Xie Yutang who took the lead in standing up and said indifferently to King Chu, "Since there is no way to talk about it anymore, then forget it, we will see you on the battlefield, Lord Jiu, let's go." ”

The Nine Princes also stood up and walked out without saying a word. Neither of them looked at King Chu, nor did they glance to the side.

King Chu's hand trembled slightly, and he suddenly spoke, "Stop." ”

"I don't think we have anything else to say." Xie Yutang stopped, but didn't look back.

King Chu walked over slowly, he had already controlled his emotions, and lowered his voice and said, "Xie Yutang, Lao Jiu, even if you hate me, you should remember that you are from Dongxuanguo, what I did all this for, it was all for Dongxuanguo." ”

Is this hard not good, come soft one?

The Nine Princes nodded expressionlessly, "Well, you're right, what does that have to do with us?" If you want to fight, you can fight, anyway, I have been expelled by you, and the ancestors and ancestors can't control you. ”

King Chu glanced at him with a heavy gaze, and forced himself to squeeze out a smile, "Lao Jiu, don't say that, the imperial brother was too excited just now, think about what you did before, which one can make the emperor tolerate you?" ”

The Ninth Prince didn't speak, he didn't want to think about it.

King Chu looked at Xie Yutang again, sighed and said, "General Xie, don't leave yet, let's talk about it later." ”

"Your Majesty thinks there is still a need to talk?" Xie Yutang mockingly hooked the corners of his mouth.

King Chu's voice was cold, "Anyway, as soon as you leave like this, I will continue to attack the city in the next step, you should know that your little men and horses will not do me any harm." ”

This is a fact, Xie Yutang does not deny that if it is a long-term battle, they will definitely not be the opponent of the King of Chu. But why bother? In the end, it was the people who were hurt.

Xie Yutang fell silent, and the King of Chu knew that he was shaken. A glimmer of light crossed his eyes, and the King of Chu pretended to be careless and said, "Sit down first." ”

The Ninth Prince didn't look at it, and said directly, "I'll go first." ”

"Old Nine." The King of Chu spoke lightly. The Nine Princes stopped, but they didn't look back, only listening to the voice of the King of Chu helplessly, "You hate the imperial brother so much, you don't even want to stay and say something?" ”

The back of the Nine Princes stiffened.

"Stay, we're brothers after all, aren't we?" The King of Chu softened his voice.

The Nine Princes' hearts trembled, in the final analysis, he is still different from the King of Chu, there is no way to be as indifferent and ruthless as him, he cares about brotherhood, cares about the royal family, he will scruple about everything, and he will be constrained.

And the king of Chu also pinched him, and said, "Brother Huang did something bad before, Lao Jiu, you tell Brother Huang." ”

"Did it work for you, can you change it?" The Nine Princes turned their heads sharply.

"Of course, you and I are brothers after all, and you are also the closest person to me now, so we don't have to die like this." The king of Chu said very earnestly.

Although the Nine Princes didn't believe it, they couldn't help but hold a trace of illusion, "Since you say so, then let me tell you, you withdraw your troops, are you willing?" He stared at the other man.

The King of Chu was noncommittal, and asked the Nine Princes to sit down first, "We have to discuss it slowly." ”

The Nine Princes saw that he really seemed to have the meaning of peace talks, so he sat down, and the King of Chu asked people to serve tea again, and Xie Yutang found that this time the tea was no longer oolong tea, but Longjing.

King Chu took a sip, glanced at the two of them, and sighed, "I thought that there would never be such a day. ”

"You could have had this every day."

But no, one is the closest brother, the other is the most powerful friend around, and if the three of them want to sit together and drink tea, it is a simple thing.

"Lao Jiu is right." King Chu smiled shallowly, and he caught a glimpse of the Nine Princes and Xie Yutang both holding teacups, and the essence in their eyes flashed.

After drinking a cup of tea, the ninth prince only felt more thirsty, and couldn't help but lift the teapot next to him and add another bowl, Xie Yutang was also a little uncomfortable, but he didn't take it to heart, and only said to King Chu, "Your Majesty, how can you withdraw your troops?" ”

"Why do you want to withdraw your troops, Shanglin is in my bag, do you think I will be so stupid?"

The Ninth Prince and Xie Yutang glanced at each other, and they both saw the puzzlement in each other's eyes, the Ninth Prince licked his lips and said with a calm face, "Brother Huang, you can't talk without talking." ”

"I don't talk anymore, what can you do?" The King of Chu glanced at him with a smile.

The Ninth Prince was suddenly a little angry, and pointed at the King of Chu and said, "Backtracking, you forgot what you just said?" ”

"What did I just say? Lao Jiu, you have forgotten that I am not only your imperial brother, but also your monarch. King Chu sank his face and was full of momentum.

"You!" The Nine Princes rushed up and wanted to beat someone, but his body shook.

"What's wrong with me?" He leaned on the table and said blankly, why is his head so dizzy, and why there are two Chu kings in front of him. The Nine Princes shook their heads vigorously and staggered towards the bed.

King Chu laughed loudly, "Haha, Lao Jiu, is the tea delicious?" ”

Xie Yutang looked at the teabowl and teapot, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You poisoned the tea?" ”

"How can you deal with you two without poisoning, huh?" The king of Chu was in a very happy mood, pacing to the two of them, and the ninth prince fell to the ground with a thud.

Xie Yutang couldn't stand either, and his eyes darkened for a while. He bit his lip hard to keep himself from falling.

"General Xie is really powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, it's useless, this kind of medicine will not miss a time."

As soon as the words fell, Xie Yutang also fell to the ground.

King Chu finally showed a heartfelt smile. He looked down at the two struggling people condescendingly, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Don't waste your efforts, it's useless." ”

"Despicable and shameless." The Nine Princes squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth.

"Thanks for the compliment." The King of Chu accepted it happily.

Xie Yutang tried to draw the dagger in his boots, but he didn't have any strength at all, and he tried several times, but he couldn't pull it out, so he could only give up in despair.

The king of Chu called someone in and ordered the two to be imprisoned.

"What the hell are you going to do?" The Nine Princes struggled to ask before being taken down.

King Chu touched his chin and said innocently, "I don't want to do anything, as long as you hand over the northern land and military power, everything will be negotiable." ”

"You're dreaming." The Nine Princes gritted their teeth and scolded.

King Chu spread his hands, "Then there's nothing to say." ”

"Your Majesty." Xie Yutang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

The king of Chu looked at him and waited for him to continue. Xie Yutang smiled, because of the effect of the drug, he was now very pale, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't even stand steadily, and he needed to rely on the support of the guards.

But the emotions in his eyes have not changed at all, indifferent, contemptuous, and as strong as ever. King Chu's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"It's useless for you to capture us, the Northern Elves are just outside the city, once you hear the news that we have been killed, guess what the consequences will be?" He casually said threatening words.

The king of Chu suddenly became angry, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted angrily, "Escort people down." ”

Xie Yutang and the Nine Princes were casually thrown in an abandoned room, the door clicked and locked, Xie Yutang sat up and slowly moved to the side of the Nine Princes.

"Lord Wang, how do you feel now?"

The Nine Princes drank a lot of tea, and it was deeper than Xie Yutang at noon, and he was lying on the ground at this time, and he couldn't get up at all.

"It's fine." He gasped.

Neither of them knew what King Chu had eaten for them, and the strength on their bodies seemed to have been drained in an instant, but fortunately, they didn't feel anything else for the time being except for their weakness.

It is estimated that the king of Chu did not think about killing them, after all, if he killed them, the northern land would be completely chaotic, and at that time, he would not know how much effort it would take to regain control of his hands.

"We have to get out of here right now." Leaning against the wall for a while, Xie Yutang spoke.

The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly and sighed, "How do you leave?" ”

He had just heard the sound of the door locking, and it was too difficult for them to get out with their current strength.

Xie Yutang didn't speak, dragged his weak body, moved to the door, checked it carefully, and found that the door lock was very old, and it was estimated that it would fall off if he pinched it gently.

He tried to push the door, but there was no movement outside, but the wooden door was shaky, and he suddenly had an idea.

Returning to the Nine Princes, Xie Yutang said what he had just discovered. The Nine Princes' eyes also lit up, and the two of them were bent on escaping, and they didn't think about why the King of Chu locked them up in such a place.

"By the way, do you still have the medicine on you?"

When they came, out of safety precautions, Chi Wan had to let them carry some commonly used antidotes with them in case of emergency, but they didn't expect that they could really use them.

"They searched their bodies just now and took a lot of things, I don't know if the antidote was taken." The Nine Princes frowned slightly.

Xie Yutang felt for a while where he had placed his things, and sure enough, it was empty.
