In this regard, the king of Chu turned a blind eye, but frequently raised his glass and toasted Xie Yutang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister is too strong to drink." Xie Yutang politely refused.

He felt a little cold in his heart, so many things had happened, and then he looked at the face of King Chu, how could he still have half a point of affection, it was clearly all calculation.

Looking at the clear wine in the glass, Xie Yutang lowered his head and smiled, his laughter was full of self-deprecation, it was time to make up his mind. Countless pictures flashed in his heart, but Xie Yutang's expression was extremely calm.

"Yutang, Yutang?"

King Chu's voice brought back Xie Yutang's senses, he raised his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty? ”

King Chu shouted with a smile in his eyes, "What are you thinking, I have called you many times." ”

"Forgive the minister, what did Your Majesty just say?"

King Chu stared at him for a moment and sighed, "You, you, I think it's too tiring to go to Jiangnan this time, it seems that it's time for me to let you go back and rest for a few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, someone below snorted heavily, showing considerable disdain.

Xie Yutang heard someone whispering, "What kind of tiredness, it's clear that I'm playing in the mountains and rivers over there, I think it should be tired of playing, right?" ”

He quietly took a sip of wine and removed the look in his eyes.

The King of Chu also pretended not to hear, and continued to ask gently, "I just asked you, what reward do you want, you worry about me, I will never treat you badly." ”

If he didn't know what King Chu was thinking, these words would definitely move Xie Yutang very much, but now, he only felt even more chilled.

There was a lot of discussion around, and it was the dissatisfied voices of those old ministers.

Xie Yutang didn't hear it, he stood up directly, and said without humility or arrogance, "Weichen does have a request. ”

King Chu raised his eyebrows with interest, "Oh? What is it? ”

"Wechen asks to return to his hometown." Xie Yutang said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent. Returning to the hometown? They heard it right, now Xie Yutang is on the rise of his career, and over time, he will definitely be able to reach the peak of power. With such a great prospect, he is willing to return to his hometown? Don't be it his old trick again, wanting to let the king of Chu keep him to show his status.

The King of Chu was also surprised for a moment, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Yutang, don't talk nonsense, but you have said it, and you will accompany me to govern this country together." ”

That is what he said, but it is not known what he really meant.

Xie Yutang hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled briefly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Weichen won't be able to do what you said." You also know that Weichen got married, Wanwan wanted to see the great rivers and mountains, and Weichen said that he would accompany her, and it was not good to break his promise. ”

The king of Chu did not speak immediately, but picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, his movements were very slow, and he stopped from time to time, as if he was pondering something, although the interval was very short, but they were all taken into Xie Yutang's eyes one by one.

He didn't say anything, he stood there quietly, and didn't seem to care what the King of Chu was doing.

The surrounding chatter suddenly stopped, and countless blazing eyes were projected from different directions. Xie Yutang still stood steadily, unmoved.

King Chu's wine was finally poured, he also raised his head, his eyes were gentle, his voice contained a sense of comfort, and when he opened his mouth, it was a word of comfort, "Yutang, I know that you have worked hard during this time, no, I am deciding to give you a holiday, can't Mrs. Xie wait a little?" ”

Xie Yutang's eyes showed a hint of a smile, "It's not that Wanwan doesn't want to wait, it's Weichen who doesn't want her to continue waiting." ”

When he said this, his face was full of pampering, as if he was fascinated by a beauty.

The King of Chu looked at him for a moment, a pair of eyes that always had a gentle smile, but at the moment they were bottomless, like a huge net, encircling people inside, unable to break free.

If you change someone, you will definitely not be able to stand it, but Xie Yutang does not avoid it. In the end, it was the King of Chu who took the lead in looking away. In between drinks, the topic was paused.

Some ministers jumped out, looking like they were thinking about Xie Yutang, and swore solemnly, "Lord Xie is so young, why did he return to his hometown?" ”

Xie Yutang glanced at the man, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and said unhurriedly, "I want to accompany Madame." ”

"Lord Xie really dotes on Madame."

Xie Yutang chuckled lightly and didn't answer this sentence, but his expression spoke for itself.

Someone came up with a wine glass, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Lord Xie is still too young, you know, how many people are envious of you, you climbed to this position at a young age, Lord Xie should cherish it." ”

These words, which seem to be caring, are actually temptations, testing whether Xie Yutang really wants to leave, and more than half of the old ministers present don't believe that Xie Yutang really wants to leave the court.

Xie Yutang also returned with a hypocritical smile and dealt with them.

King Chu looked at all this coldly, and finally slowly spoke, "Yutang, what I said just now, I just thought you were joking, and I won't take it seriously." ”

The implication is that they will not let people go.

Xie Yutang stood up and said seriously, "Your Majesty, Weichen is not joking, I hope the emperor can fulfill Weichen." There is no shortage of adults with good knowledge and vision in the court, and Your Majesty can try to use them. ”

King Chu's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he looked at Xie Yutang fixedly, "Do you really want to leave so much?" ”

"Really." Xie Yutang said sincerely, without the slightest hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

The King of Chu seemed a little sad and muttered, "Why, I finally ascended the throne, but you want to leave?" Xie Yutang, if you are like this, you are not afraid of hurting my heart? ”

Xie Yutang also seemed a little helpless, and sighed apologetically, "Weichen is such a person with no ambitions, if Your Majesty has to leave Weichen, then in the future, Weichen's people are here, and their hearts may not be here." ”

This is very straightforward, which is equivalent to cutting off all his retreats.

Those ministers were full of wonder, what's going on, didn't they say that they were pretentious, how did they feel like they were real?

Just when everyone looked at each other, the King of Chu finally relented, "Mrs. Xie took your heart away, what should I do?" ”

This is the meaning that has been tacitly acquiesced.

Xie Yutang smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and greeted the King of Chu, "Your Majesty, Weichen respects you." ”

The king of Chu didn't seem to be very happy, drank all the wine in the cup, turned his head and instructed the palace people, "Move Lord Xie's table to me, I haven't eaten and laughed with Lord Xie for a long time, and I won't get drunk tonight." ”

Xie Yutang did not refuse, and let the palace people make another table next to the King of Chu, and Shi Shiran walked over, a picture of brothers and happiness.

The ministers looked puzzled, these two people, are they really here?

"I'll just say that Xie Yutang is useless, and he actually gave up a great future for the sake of a woman, tsk."

"What do you know, if he doesn't leave, we will be miserable, I wish he left, but what makes me strange is that His Majesty will agree, I thought His Majesty would not let him go."

"Shhhhhhh

From time to time, a few words floated up from below, and both of them pretended not to hear them.

A celebration banquet was eaten to the end, and the heart was full of bitterness, and in the end, neither of them spoke, just drank vigorously.

After the celebration banquet, the ministers left one after another, and the king of Chu called Xie Yutang and asked him to sit with him for a while.

The two came to the apse, because they were both a little drunk, the eunuch brought up the sobering tea, and the brothers drank it. The king of Chu seemed to remember something, and said nostalgically, "Yutang, do you remember, when we were young, we often drank secretly, and when we were drunk, we poured a big gulp of sobering tea, and now that I think about it, that time was too far away from us." ”

Xie Yutang said expressionlessly, "It's not far away, it's only a few years." ”

King Chu was silent for a moment and said with a smile, "Yes, it's not far away, it's only a few years, it's just a few years, it's that I'm too confused." ”

The two recalled some things one after another, the atmosphere was warm, and the tone was full of nostalgia.

But Xie Yutang is hiding something in his heart, no matter what, his smile can't fully bloom.

The King of Chu noticed this, and slowly stopped talking, and asked Xie Yutang seriously, "Do you really want to leave?" ”

Xie Yutang asked the King of Chu rhetorically, "Do you want me to stay?" ”

Since the king of Chu ascended the throne, it was the first time Xie Yutang had spoken to him so rudely, and he had always paid great attention to etiquette, even if the king of Chu told him again and again that they had a good relationship, so he didn't need to pay attention to that.

Xie Yutang had a shot in his heart that from the beginning, he had a good grasp of the scale.

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Xie Yutang drained the tea in the cup in one gulp, the tea slid down his chin, and the voice of the King of Chu came from his ears, "I sincerely hope that you can stay." ”

It's all at this time, and he's still lying, Xie Yutang didn't break it, and said to himself, "Your Majesty still remembers, in the early years, we practiced martial arts together, before I left, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to meet my request." ”

King Chu's voice was also much more depressed, "You say." ”

Xie Yutang raised a handsome face, hooked his lips and smiled, "Dancing Sword, would Your Majesty want to dance with me?" ”

When they were young, they practiced martial arts together, and they would often laugh and dance with swords.

In the blink of an eye, things are not people.

Xie Yutang never thought that one day he would have to watch out for the King of Chu. Maybe he thought about it, but he just couldn't believe it.

King Chu looked at him, and finally nodded slowly, "Okay, I promise you." ”

There are palace people who sent two swords, Xie Yutang pulled them out with a sonorous sound, and easily pulled a sword flower, and the movements of the king of Chu were much more jerky, although he also learned swords, but in the end he was not as good as the general who had been on the battlefield.
