Chapter 378: Disappointment
Ordering someone to take a cloth towel to wipe her hair, Chi Wan looked at the figure behind the screen and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The information under the pillow is getting thicker and thicker, and a few more letters have been added today, if it weren't for seeing those letters, Chi Wan would never have thought that a hero who supported the king of Chu to ascend the throne would have fallen to this point.
The king of Chu wanted to ruin him with the voice of the people.
This person's scheming was too deep, and when he faced Xie Yutang, he didn't show any abnormality at all. Chi Wan still remembers that when they left the capital, the king of Chu specially went to the mansion to practice for them.
On the surface, the monarch and the minister are harmonious, but who expected to stab a knife in the back, which is simply too chilling.
There was a squirting behind the screen, it should be Xie Yutang who had taken a bath, and after a while, he put on a loose suit and walked out. The hair was still dripping with water, running down the thin cheeks and into the neck, causing people to reverie for no reason.
Chi Wan pursed her lips, thoughtfully took a dry cloth towel, and approached to wipe his hair.
Xie Yutang held her hand and kissed it on the mouth, Chi Wan didn't say a word, Xie Yutang didn't care at first, and picked up the official document next to him and looked at it.
After a while, he felt a little thirsty, and when he motioned for Chi Wan to pour him a cup of tea, he realized that something was wrong.
Today, Chi Wan is really too silent, and she hasn't even said a word to him until now.
"Wanwan?" Xie Yutang put down the official document and looked at Chi Wan suspiciously.
Chi Wan turned around, put the tea bowl in front of him expressionlessly, and was about to walk away, but Xie Yutang took her hand and asked in a deep voice, "Wanwan, what happened?" ”
Hearing this, Chi Wan's footsteps paused, Huo Di turned his head, stared at Xie Yutang with a serious face, and blurted out the accusatory words, "I asked you to take good care of your body, why did you come back wet again?" ”
Xie Yutang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said curtly, "It's raining, the oil-paper umbrella is not enough, and it's not easy to work with that." ”
A wave of anger surged up in her heart, and Chi Wan suddenly raised her voice and said, "You are here to control the water, and other things are naturally done by subordinates, and you don't need to do it yourself, why do you have to do everything yourself?" ”
"I know, I know what you say. But this matter is very important, in case there is a little mistake below, not only the investigation from above, but also the people will suffer. ”
Look, he only has the king of Chu and the people in his heart.
Chi Wan was so angry that she shook off his hand and was about to go out, not wanting to talk to this elm pimple anymore, but she didn't expect Xie Yutang to seem to anticipate her actions, and her big hand held her wrist tightly, she didn't shake it off at once, but was pulled into Xie Yutang's arms.
"What's wrong? Wanwan, I'll definitely pay attention to it in the future, don't be so angry, okay? Xie Yutang's rough fingertips rubbed her face, and his tone was extremely gentle.
Chi Wan was unmoved, and snorted coldly, "Every time you say this, have you really done it?" You are working so hard, the King of Chu may not know what to think, this is not your Xie family's country, do you think about it for yourself! ”
Hearing this, Xie Yutang's face was a little solemn, turned Chi Wan around, faced him, and said seriously, "Wanwan, what did you mean by what you said just now?" ”
Chi Wan knew that she was speechless, but she didn't want to show weakness like this, so she puffed her head away, "It's not interesting." ”
Xie Yutang knew that she was angry, tried his best to appease her, held her in his arms, and didn't let her go down, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, Your Majesty has an opinion on me?" ”
As soon as Chi Wan heard His Majesty's two words, she was angry, and grinded her back molars viciously, "That's right, he wants something to happen to you now, so that everyone in the world will spit on you, so that he can naturally punish you, only if you are still stupid to do your best for him, the time when the city gate gives alms is already an omen." ”
Xie Yutang saw that she was so emotional, and roared louder and louder, he couldn't help but glance at the door worriedly, covered her mouth, and said softly, "Shh, let's not talk nonsense about these words, it will ......."
"What will happen, kill the head? I'm not afraid, even though it's okay to come. Chi Wan stiffened her neck, pushed Xie Yutang away, ran to the head of the bed with a few steps, slammed off the pillow, took out a stack of letters, and with a bang, they all fell in front of Xie Yutang.
Xie Yutang's eyes widened in surprise, "This is?" ”
"You've got to see for yourself." Chi Wan hated that iron could not become steel.
Xie Yutang picked up one letter, swept it at a glance, and then picked up the second one, and as he looked through it, his face became more and more solemn.
Chi Wan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, in Xie Yutang's heart, he had always regarded the King of Chu as a very good brother, so no matter what the above sent him to do, as long as it was for the King of Chu and for the court, he was willing to do it.
It's a pity that sometimes it's so unfair, you show your sincerity, but the other party tramples on it.
"Where did you get these?" Xie Yutang said calmly, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a tremor in his voice, which shows that he is not really indifferent.
He is now here to control the water, and he doesn't know what he is talking about outside, if it weren't for these secret letters, he wouldn't know that his reputation among the people would be so bad.
They said that he was heinous, saying that he was not controlling the water at all, but taking the money allocated by the imperial court to travel in the mountains and rivers. Such a person is not worthy of being an official at all.
Xie Yutang's fingers holding the secret letter tightened more and more, and the whitish joints were faintly visible.
"I have a lot of industries under my control, it is not difficult for them to inquire about things, and I can be 100% sure that this news must be true." Chi Wan said solemnly.
She was afraid that Xie Yutang would trust the King of Chu too much and abandon these letters, but instead made a mistake.
"I believe it." Xie Yutang lightly spit out two words, but choked back the words that Chi Wan had already brewed.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Chi Wan's eyes, Thaksin? She heard it right just now, for the sake of King Chu before, Xie Yutang turned his face with her a lot, and even tried his best to defend King Chu, saying that he was not that kind of person.
Now he says. What faith did he believe?
Chi Wan was a little confused for a while, and was silent for a long time before asking, "You mean, you also know that the King of Chu can't tolerate you in his heart?" ”
Xie Yutang stood up and paced slowly around the room, "Yes, I know. ”
"When did you find out?"
Xie Yutang seemed to think about it very seriously, and then smiled, "The city gate incident? Or a little earlier, when he tried to put me in a high position, I already felt that something was wrong. ”
"Then why do you have to do things for him?" Hearing this, Chi Wan suddenly became angry.
She also thought that this person was immersed in brotherhood and couldn't see anything clearly, but she didn't expect that he had a clear heart, but he just didn't say anything.
Xie Yutang sighed faintly.
"I want to gamble, I want to bet that he still has brotherhood in his heart." It turned out that he lost, and moreover, he lost everything.
Chi Wan opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say, Xie Yutang was affectionate, but the King of Chu was a widow, in his eyes, there were no brothers.
"I lost, and I shouldn't have expected that." Xie Yutang said calmly, but Chi Wan knew that from this moment on, the affection in his heart for the King of Chu was no longer as pure as before.
The king of Chu himself pushed his best brother away.
Chi Wan looked at Xie Yutang worriedly, she was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand such a big blow, but Xie Yutang was Xie Yutang in the end, the invincible general, where could he be so fragile in his heart.
Soon, he cheered up, and in turn comforted Chi Wan, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
Chi Wan frowned slightly, and said in her heart, what's the use of paying attention, he is a king, you are a minister, sometimes, as long as the monarch gives an order, the courtier can only go to the soup, not to mention, Xie Yutang is the kind of person who is loyal to the extreme. 、
"And what are your plans?" Chi Wan felt that it was better to ask clearly.
Xie Yutang hesitated, "Wanwan, I don't have a choice now. ”
He had no other way to go than to be obedient.
The king of Chu is more shrewd than the crown prince, although Xie Yutang is the founding general, and he also gave him a high reward, but in fact, he has no real power in his hands at all.
In other words, Xie Yutang couldn't resist at all.
When the king of Chu ascended the throne, although he was given the position of the general of the world's soldiers and horses, but the tiger talisman only gave him half of it, if he was loyal, then naturally there was no problem, but if he had a rebellion, the king of Chu could rely on the other half of the talisman to make his soldiers turn against him instantly.
Therefore, shrewdness is still the shrewdness of the king of Chu.
A long time ago, perhaps when he asked Xie Yutang to help him, he had already thought of the follow-up containment.
Chi Wan obviously thought of this, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.
The current Xie Yutang can be described as a dilemma, if this continues, sooner or later, the king of Chu will give him a crime, and when the time comes, he will raid his family and exterminate the clan, but he is afraid that he will not even be able to keep the general's mansion.
According to the current development trend, the king of Chu will definitely do it.
"Don't be afraid, it's not that serious." Xie Yutang seemed to have guessed Chi Wan's thoughts, clapped her hands, and said softly.
Ji Wan held his hand with her backhand, her fingertips tightened.
"Xie Yutang, the king of Chu ...... He didn't want you to live at all! She said it almost tremblingly.
Xie Yutang saw that she was frightened, and rubbed her head with a dumb smile, "It's not that serious, you think too much." ”
At least, not yet.
In order to kill him justifiably, the king of Chu will definitely find a high-sounding reason, this reason must be the kind that all the people have no opinion, and when the time comes, he can tell him in a grand manner: Look, it's not that I want to kill you, but that the people want to kill you.
