Faced with Zhuang Ji's doubts, Qu Yuan no longer started from the big reason, he was quiet for a while, and said flatly: "General Zhuang, do you remember Princess Jingyin?" When the minister left, she specially asked me to say hello to you on her behalf. He said as he pulled something out of his underwear pocket.

Zhuang Ji said excitedly: "This ...... This ......" his eyes were fixed on Qu Yuan's hand, but his mouth snorted, "She...... Is she okay? ”

Qu Yuan sniffed the thing in his hand and said, "Well, it's so fragrant." This is the sachet embroidered by Princess Jingyin for you, specially entrusted to me to sketch it, do you want it? ”

Zhuang Ji excitedly reached out to grab it, and Qu Yuan hid his hand behind his back.

"Why are you hiding for me, why are you hiding the things you brought for someone?" Zhuang Ji had no choice but to retreat, "It's okay, don't look at things that have nothing to do with me." ”

Qu Yuan asked: "To be honest, it was Princess Jingyin's idea to invite you out of the mountain, can you go back to Yingdu?" ”

"This ...... This ......," Zhuang Ji didn't know how to answer.

Qu Yuan hurriedly said, "What else is this?" For the sake of Princess Jingyin, even if you cut off your head, you have to go back to Yingdu to see her. ”

As soon as he heard that he had met Princess Jingyin, Zhuang Ji's eyes appeared in front of him an unforgettable scene engraved in his memory: the years he spent with Princess Jingyin. In the summer, from time to time, I took her to the beach by the river to chase and swim in the lake together.

In fact, Zhuang Ji, who is known as the Miao descendant of King Chu Zhuang, has been left by God in the world, and it is common for him to enter and leave the palace, but he doesn't know which way the heart of King Chu is opening now.

But this does not affect his nature, for example, today, as a former traitor of the Chu State, a self-reliant king of the Eastern Land, he resolutely came to the palace of the king of Chu to see the king. This is the first invitation from the king of Chu since the beginning of the war and the disaster of Chu for many years, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to predict. In order to avoid trouble, many people dissuaded him, and the captain of the guard, Xiao Bu, even forced him to stay away from the palace and defend Eastern Wu in order to make a comeback. But he didn't listen, he still came without hesitation and came to the palace where King Chu Qingxiang was.

Zhuang Ji's eyes showed a dark light, and looking back, the sunlight had been obscured by stratus clouds, and his body had already been placed in shadow.

"Da Sima, the palace has arrived." The attendant reminded.

"The palace?" Zhuang Ji asked himself suspiciously.

He was in this shadow, and he realized how high and big the palace was, and that the palace could cover the sky and the sun.

The majestic and spacious hall of the Chu Palace was silent.

Brother Chutian - King Qingxiang sat high on the tiger skin chair in the middle of the hall, with stacks of bamboo slips placed on the royal case in front of him, and a bronze long sword with a sheath lay in front of him, which was handed down by the previous king, symbolizing the supreme power. The ministers lined up on both sides of the stage were listening to the king's breathing. The terrible silence made them tremble, but their hands and feet did not dare to tremble. Their monarch and ministers were having a regular morning meeting.

"Is Zhuang Ji here?" The silence was broken, and the first brother squinted his eyes and made a lazy sound.

Shangguan Langzhong Jin Shang took a step forward and flattered: "Report to the king, the great Sima Zhuang of the Eastern Land intends to resist the king's order, but there is no trace of him, so that the king's majesty is disgraced, and his face is completely lost. The minister thinks that it is better to ...... It is better to secretly send guards to arrest him. ”

"Well, that's right, what Dr. Jin said is very true. Zhuang Ji, this kid is extremely arrogant, he doesn't take the king in his eyes at all, he should be arrested into the palace and repaired well. Ling Yin Zilan echoed and said.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Zhuang Ji is a person who talks about credibility and is loyal to the king, how can he refuse to meet the king? Sanlu doctor Qu Yuanshen said.

"Wrong!" Jin Shang hurriedly stopped and said, "I think the king has just succeeded to the throne back then, and everything needs to be done." However, this Zhuang Ji ignored the prestige of the king and openly raised troops to resist the cession of the six cities of Dongdi to the Qi State, causing chaos in the country. Zhuang Ji's crime, it is not too much to kill him a thousand times. Now he knows that the crime is heinous, and it is normal not to come to see the king, but if he still dares to come to see the king, it means that he does not take the king in his eyes at all, and he is really bold. ”

King Qingxiang raised his forehead in shock, glared at the beads of his eyes and said: "Yes, yes, Zhuang Ji has repeatedly committed the power of the lone king, and his sin is unforgivable." He regarded Qu Yuan's words as the wind in his ears, hooked his hand to his chest, motioned for Zilan and Jin Shang to come up to the stage, lowered his voice and whispered to them, "You act separately, Shang Qing led the secret guard to the east, if you meet Zhuang Ji on the road, say that the lonely king cherishes his talent as his life, and specially sends troops to meet him." Ziqing, you quickly give an order, ask the army to surround the palace on the third floor, and take him down as soon as Zhuang Ji enters the palace. ”

At this time, the curtain behind King Qingxiang suddenly moved, like a breeze blowing.

King Qingxiang shouted vigilantly: "Who? Spies, quick, catch spies. ”

Jin Shang ignored etiquette and ran behind King Qingxiang, wanting to arrest the spies. He faintly saw a beautiful woman hiding herself in a curtain and fleeing to the back door. This is a rare opportunity. He followed the path of the beautiful woman and chased all the way. The beautiful woman didn't seem to be afraid at all, let alone take him seriously, but didn't run, but appeared and disappeared like a hide and seek, and finally simply stood there waiting for his arrival.

"Jin Shang, you are so fat and daring, you dare to flirt with this girl alone?" The beauty preemptively challenged.

Jin Shang turned his head and left, and left a message: "You are so self-conscious, beware that I report the truth to the king." ”

In order to comfort King Qingxiang, Jin Shang returned to the king and knelt down and said, "Don't worry, the king is a dog that smells the fragrance and cuts the jade behind the king, and the king is auspicious." "King Qingxiang loves Baer dogs, and there are countless large and small Baer dogs in the palace. This is what Jin Shang knows.

As soon as King Qingxiang heard that it was Ba'er dog who smelled the fragrance, the panic on his face disappeared immediately.

An official in the queue quietly left the line, and Qu Yuan saw it and glared at him. He ignored it, and instead lowered his body to the point of lying on his stomach and slipped to the side door.

King Qingxiang suddenly glared at him and said, "Hey, where is the dog?" Call it quickly, the Lone King wants to kill it. ”

"King, here comes the dog." The person who slipped out just now picked up a cute snow-white dog out of nowhere and presented it to King Qingxiang.

The king took the dog, and the king kissed the snow-white fur with his mouth, and took the little dog in his arms, indulging in the softness.

At the moment when the king squinted his eyes and didn't look at the world, Qu Yuan pulled the person who hugged the dog to the king and said: "Song Yu, it's not easy for you to get into the palace with your fame, and you don't teach the king to learn well, don't teach him to worry about the country and the people, but all day long how the king is to have fun and lewdness, how to play with flowers and grass, and how to appreciate women." You're speeding up the king's demise. ”

Song Yu defended disdainfully: "The teacher is wrong. Didn't the ancestors of Chu fight the world and go to King Zhuang to establish a powerful Chu State, just to let his descendants eat, drink and have fun, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world? Now that the king is managing the country's major affairs, in order to rest for a while, you are playing with a dog, what is the purpose of you pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, insinuating the king? ”

Qu Yuanqi's hands and feet trembled, and when he was about to reprimand Song Yu again, a shout of "General Sima Zhuang Ji has arrived" sounded at the gate of the palace. The voice was transmitted by the guards of the triple gate, and reached the ears of King Qingxiang.

King Qingxiang was startled, his hand loosened, and he hesitated to ask himself: "He still dares to come?" The dog that fell to the ground ran away with a "snort".
