Chapter 384: Confrontation
The king of Chu was a little annoyed, pursed his lips, and swallowed what he was about to say. He held Xie Yutang's hand tugging at his collar and said slowly, "You let go of me first." ”
"You answer me first." Xie Yutang's eyes widened.
Because of the movement of the two, the guards rushed out and surrounded Xie Yutang in the middle.
Xie Yutang didn't look at them, still tugging on the collar of the King of Chu, with the meaning that he would never stop if he didn't say anything.
The two confronted each other for a long time, and finally, King Chu sighed, "Yutang, you don't need to be like this, you calm down first." ”
How could Xie Yutang calm down, his panting voice was very rapid, which showed that his mood was not calm at all.
"I'll admit it, I'm scared of you." The King of Chu spit out a sentence faintly.
Xie Yutang was stunned, his hand involuntarily let go, and the King of Chu took the opportunity to break free from his restraint, took a step back, sorted out his clothes, and returned to the appearance of the majestic and inviolable emperor in front of people.
He waved his hand at the Captain of the Guards, and the men quickly vanished.
King Chu motioned for Xie Yutang to sit down, the other party just stared at him, his eyes were like wolves, King Chu frowned helplessly, simply ignored him, and said lightly, "We grew up together, and I know your ability best." ”
Xie Yutang didn't interject and listened silently.
"Do you remember, in the previous riding and archery lessons, I learned a horseback posture for half a month, and finally learned it with your help?" King Chu looked sideways at Xie Yutang.
Such an old thing, strangely, Xie Yutang remembers it very clearly.
The King of Chu is indeed very good at poetry, but his riding and archery lessons are really bad, and Xie Yutang was his companion at that time, and his riding and archery was the best among everyone.
The young man was in high spirits, galloping on his horse, setting an arrow on the horse, and taking the red heart of the grass handle in the distance.
Xie Yutang laughed heartily and rode back, facing everyone's envious eyes with a wide eye.
The king of Chu was also one of the watchers, and when he heard the master next to him touching his beard and loudly praising Xie Yutang as a good seedling, his heart was sour and astringent for a while.
The sour thing is that Xie Yutang's skills are so good, but the astringent thing is that he can't learn it no matter how he learns, and he can't even get on a horse, let alone shoot an arrow right away.
He felt more depressed than ever, and even tried to escape when it came to riding and archery lessons.
Hearing this, Xie Yutang raised his eyebrows in some surprise, he never thought that King Chu, the proud son of the sky, would also envy him.
"But later, you obviously learned very well." Xie Yutang's tone was not without surprise.
That's right, the king of Chu is naturally strong, he will never allow himself to have such obvious shortcomings, so in private, he spent a lot of time riding a horse, when others were resting, he was riding a horse, and when others were playing, he was still riding a horse, so he practiced hard for half a month, and finally, he could get on the horse with a very beautiful posture.
King Chu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "That's still learned with your help." ”
Xie Yutang frowned slightly, listening to what King Chu meant, he seemed to be very disgusted with helping him, but why? In his opinion, the process is not important, the result is the most important.
As long as you can learn to ride a horse, how do you learn it, who do you learn it from, and what does it matter?
But apparently the King of Chu didn't think so, a shadow crossed his eyebrows, "After I learned to ride a horse, you can already domesticate a fierce horse, and I am always one step slower than you." ”
Xie Yutang's expression changed and changed, and his eyes were a little incredulous when he looked at King Chu.
The king of Chu didn't look at him, and said to himself, "That fierce horse is what the master is afraid of, many people have tried, but no one has succeeded." With your youthful spirit, you have successfully tamed a fierce horse that even your master can't domesticate. Do you know? How many people were whispering about you in private at the time. ”
When he accompanied King Chu to study, Xie Yutang was still young, he didn't know how to hide his edge, he did what he wanted, and he didn't know that King Chu originally thought so in his heart.
The shock in his heart was indescribable, and he was dumbfounded for a long time before he held back a sentence, "But no matter what, I have always been on your side." ”
When he said this, he already knew in his heart that it was useless, and the King of Chu would never believe it, otherwise there would be no such thing as now.
Sure enough, the King of Chu just looked at him, and the meaning of that look was unclear.
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? In the eyes of the king, this will never be tolerated.
Xie Yutang instantly understood what he meant, and froze in place. He felt ironic that after he had done so much, the King of Chu refused to give him even basic trust.
"Yutang, forgive me, I can't help it, you try to think about it, if one day, you can add a yellow robe, will you refuse?" King Chu said slowly.
Xie Yutang raised his head, looked at him, and said word by word, "I will." ”
What about the yellow robe? In his eyes, that thing was not worth mentioning at all. He had never had any interest in that position.
Hearing his answer, King Chu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed briefly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. He shook his head slowly, "No, you won't, I know you must be retorting to me in your heart now, thinking that what I said is wrong." But if you think about it seriously, when the supreme power is placed in front of you, can you resist the temptation, I believe, no one can resist it. ”
Xie Yutang couldn't help but sneer, "Don't measure me by the desires in your heart, I have never had a single idea about that position." ”
"But you're ambitious."
"Yes, I am ambitious, I am eager to make a contribution, this is my revenge since I was a child, but I only hope to be for the benefit of the people. Galloping on the battlefield can also protect the family and defend the country, what is the inevitable connection between this and that position? Xie Yutang's sharp retort did not regard the person opposite as the emperor at all, and his tone was aggressive.
The King of Chu hadn't been choked like this for a long time, and he felt very uncomfortable for a while, and he suppressed it for a long time, so he barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a calm face, "People change." ”
The implication is that you don't want to be an emperor now, and you don't necessarily want to be an emperor in the future, and he doesn't want to take that risk.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Yutang was even more shocked, looking at King Chu as if he were a stranger. Suddenly, he smiled, and the smile was very sad, "Your Majesty, is this giving me an trumped-up charge?" ”
Just considering that he will change in the future, so the first strike is strong, and who can say clearly what will happen in the future.
King Chu pursed his lips and did not speak, his brows furrowed tightly.
Xie Yutang's heart was as if it had been immersed in frost, bringing a biting chill, and he never realized that the brother he had known for many years was actually such a person.
"I thought you'd get to know me." After a long time, Xie Yutang opened his mouth sneeringly.
King Chu moved his lips, but he didn't say anything.
Xie Yutang smiled self-deprecatingly, what do you understand? Even if the king of Chu knew him, he still wanted his life. He knew that he would not take away his country, but for that little possibility, he did not hesitate to kill him.
Wanwan said before that today's King of Chu is very different from the King of Chu in the past, let him not look at it from the eyes of the past, and at that time he also told Chi Wan not to say this about the King of Chu. Unexpectedly, it turned out that what Chi Wan said was all true.
The king of Chu has changed, only him, and he stupidly thinks that he is still the good brother back then.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Yutang pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, "I won't take your place, you know, never." ”
"I can't help myself." These four words show the attitude of the king of Chu.
At this point, there is nothing to say about the conversation between the two, and the meaning of the King of Chu is obvious, even if he knows that Xie Yutang will not covet his position, but he can't tolerate this high-ranking general.
Xie Yutang was a little disheartened for a while, he glanced at the cold and shining knife on the guard's body, and smiled miserably, "Since you want to kill me so much, my existence makes you so uncomfortable, then, come on, kill me." ”
He closed his eyes, looking like he was about to be killed.
King Chu's heart ached, and just as he wanted to say something, Xie Yutang opened his eyes again and said word by word, "Before you kill me, I have a request." Let Wanwan go, she is innocent, she doesn't know anything, when I die, she will leave the capital, and the future will not hinder you. ”
This is his only request, since he can't accompany Chi Wan down, he hopes to clear the obstacles for her as much as possible, so that she can live a chic life alone.
It's just that I'm reluctant.
King Chu stood up, held Xie Yutang's shoulder, and sighed bitterly, "I didn't say to kill you now." ”
Xie Yutang didn't mean to be grateful, but raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "If you don't kill now, you will kill sooner or later, Your Majesty won't have to be so troublesome, I'm here now, if you want to kill or chop, listen to your respect." ”
As friends, the two have been together for so many years, so they naturally know each other very well, and the King of Chu knows that Xie Yutang is serious.
"Why should you? Although it seems that his temperament is much calmer, he still has the same bones as when he was a child, I said that I would kill you, and you sent it like this. Aren't you unable to let go of Chi Wan? You're dead, what about your Wanwan? ”
"I believe that the emperor will not embarrass her." Xie Yutang is hard and authentic.
King Chu shook his head, "That's not necessarily, you are husband and wife, with Chi Wan's feelings for you, if you are gone, she will definitely fight with me." ”
Xie Yutang snorted coldly, "Is Your Majesty still afraid of a weak woman?" Ji Wan is powerless, what can she do? She can't do anything, even if she wants to avenge me, how can she help you? So you don't have to worry. ”
The atmosphere between the two is very tense, and it can be described as a trigger.
