The banquet of the king
"The person who came immediately prepared a few invitations for the widow and sent them to the princes' mansions, saying that the widow had hunted a very delicious piece of prey today, please taste it together."
The imposing King went to the back garden and hunted an elk in the garden. Heroically carrying the prey into the palace, he said to the people around him.
"Okay, my subordinates will go." The subordinates were a little surprised to hear the words of the composition, but they didn't dare to question it at all. Immediately I listened to the instructions and went to prepare. Seeing that his subordinates had left, he threw his prey on the ground and stepped on it a few times angrily.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were gloomy, like a demon looking up in hell, and like a demon awakened in hell. His hands clenched into fists. There is still blood dripping when holding the prey. But the king didn't seem to care at all. I even saw the intense color of blood. Also licked curiously.
"It actually tastes pretty good. In fact, sometimes blood can be drunk. Who? Come out! Hearing the surrounding noise, the King immediately retracted the look on his face, and a pair of scarlet eyes looked around.
"The king, the subordinates have prepared the appearance of the invitation, please take a look at the king." The personal guard trembled and handed the invitation he had made to the king. I wish I hadn't seen the appearance of the king at that time.
I thought that if I did it faster, I could get praise from the king. turned out to see such a scene...... Now he can't even guarantee that he will be able to save his life.
"You saw what the widow just looked. Is that right? Otherwise you don't have to be so nervous. The King of the Rings gave him a wicked look. There was no trace of scarlet in his eyes, but he was more terrifying than usual.
"Subordinate......." "If you tell the truth, you'll be a little bit better. So tell the widow, have you seen it? Speaking of this, a rare trace of tenderness appeared in the eyes of the king of Xu. It makes people unconsciously indulge in it.
"The subordinates saw the appearance of the king, but only for a glance." The subordinate replied cautiously, not daring to overstep the rules. "And how did you feel at the time? Or what did you think a widow would look like? Is it horror, isn't it terrible, is it ruthless or is it a demon? ”
It seems that the King has really turned into a demon that leads people into the abyss, slowly guiding his subordinates. Say the truest answer from his heart. "You really looked like a demon back then." Maybe it was because the tone of the king was too gentle, or maybe it was because the eyes were not as sharp as they saw at the time, and his subordinates had the audacity to say their true thoughts.
"Was the widow really like a demon at that time?" Hearing the answer of his subordinates, the king was not surprised. Because he knew he was angry at the time. So it's not surprising to get this answer. But since he's already said he's a demon. Then there should be a clearer understanding of what happened to him.
"This invitation is well done. The widow was satisfied. So I'll give you a whole corpse this time. For thy sake, the widow will give thee a cup of poisoned wine. That's it. After saying these words, he didn't care about the surprise and surprise of his subordinates. He turned around and returned to his own private palace.
His subordinates heard the words of the King of the Ring, and their surprise and surprise were written on their faces. He couldn't have imagined that he was just trying to ask the king for a compliment, and his hands and feet were a little sharper. But I unexpectedly saw another side of the king. brought the disaster of killing himself, and the grief in his heart is indescribable.
"Brother Zhao, why did you suddenly become like this?" Seeing that the king had left here, one of his subordinates immediately ran to the subordinate who had been given death.
"Brother Zhao, if you have the chance, you better leave King Xuan as soon as possible, this person is too dangerous, I fell into such a field. It's just because I'm a little sharper and want to be praised by the king. As a result, he saw another side of the king and ordered him to die. I hope Brother Zhao, don't repeat my mistakes. ”
After saying this, the subordinate who was given death immediately left. The people who escorted him also felt sympathy. This man was the personal guard of the King of the Ring. And they are also the guardians of the court. It's very familiar to look up and look down all day long. Know what kind of person this person is. But now it has come to such a point. It's inevitable to be embarrassed.
Hearing his words and thinking of his fate, the surrounding palace guards inevitably had different intentions, what kind of person he was, they all knew very well. It's not particularly good, though. But he is loyal and honest, and his popularity is good. It's a shame.
The court was in turmoil, and they, the palace guards, knew it in their hearts. The turmoil above the court has never stopped. And how can we know how big the fluctuations are in this dark place? At the end of the day, they're also very rare.
Xibohou Mansion
"Master Hou, why are you so sad? What kind of thing happened that made you so worried, I don't know if you can talk to your concubine. "Mrs. Qibohou saw that her husband had a headache and became like this. Not only is it a little heartache, they have been married for many years, and they have never seen their husband show such an appearance.
But after being together for so long, they can naturally understand what each other is thinking in their hearts. It must not be good for the husband to show this kind of expression.
"After I finished this afternoon, I sent someone to send me an invitation. It is said that the king of the Emperor has hunted a piece of delicious prey, and he wants to invite us meritorious men to taste it. Let's enjoy the name sheet together. But we haven't done much in recent times. How did the king think of hunting a piece of good meat for us to taste together? It's just so weird. ”
"So you mean that the king of the Emperor has a purpose for this? So what exactly does it look like? Madame Xibohou asked curiously.
"Because I didn't know, I went to calculate a hexagram. This hexagram is a sign that the murderer is escaping death, and it really disturbs my heart. ”
"Escaped death?" Madame Sibohou was a little surprised when she heard this. But then I was relieved. Since you have said that this is a situation of escaping death, then you don't have to worry about Hou Yeji's own natural appearance, and you will have the help of nobles. ”
"If it's a nobleman, then there must be only that General Su, since you invited me after doing it, then there must be him. If I could survive death, he would be the only one who could do it. ”
Xi Bohou thought of this and smiled slightly. General Su is also the guardian of half of the country anyway, and he has encountered a lot of battles large and small. If there is a better person to save him from death, who is more suitable than him?
"General Su is the patron saint of the Shang Dynasty and a friend of the Hou Ye, so he can naturally draw his sword to help." Mrs. Xibohou also smiled and agreed with Xibohou's opinion.
"In that case, let's hurry up and set off. Marquis Xibo and General Su's Mansion were not far away. Maybe we'll meet it again. Xibohou smiled and stepped onto the handsome horse, galloping away into the distance.
Mrs. Xibohou looked at her husband who was far away, and watched his figure silently disappear from her sight, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. What the hell is going on, but forget it, Hou Ye has already calculated a hexagram. The hexagram shows that this is an image of escape from death, so there must be no danger to life.
General Su's Mansion
"Husband, why are you so unhappy? I remember you shared good news with me this morning. Why did you have this expression this afternoon? Could it be that the frontier warriors are tight, and you have to go out again? ”
The persuasive person looked at the gray hair on her husband's head and felt a little distressed. Her husband had been stationed on the frontier for a long time to protect the safety of the Shang Dynasty, and he only had a daughter in his thirties, Daji, and later because he owed them mother and daughter, he stopped guarding the frontier and just wanted to live a good life.
It's been a long time since Mrs. Su has seen her husband have such an expression. And usually when this expression is shown, it is when the frontier begins to fight. Could it be that the same group of guys are encroaching on the land again? But there is more than one husband in the court. Why did he go to the frontier so often?
General Su saw his wife's expression like this, and understood what she was thinking, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not that there is a war on the frontier, but that the king invited us to his banquet. But nothing has happened lately, and there has been no great joy. There is no rumor in the harem that any of the concubines are pregnant with dragon heirs......"
"Husband, is it really a bit abnormal for the king to do this?" Mrs. Su immediately replied with understanding. "It's a bit strange to say that, but in recent years, the king has been emotionally unstable. It's a bit weird, but there's nothing wrong with it, and it's not hard not to go. ”
"That's why I hesitated, obviously there was no merit or happy event, but I just said a banquet. It's a bit unsettling. ”
"But so what? Fujun was the patron saint of the Shang Dynasty. Half of the world in this Shang Dynasty is the husband, and you protect it for the king. What can they do to you? Even if they are dissatisfied, they understand this truth. There is nothing to worry about. Mrs. Su thought for a moment and said with relief.
"Anyway, I think the same way, I'm almost the year of knowing the destiny of heaven. has guarded the Shang Dynasty for more than 20 years, not to mention the guardian of half of the Shang Dynasty, but also an old man who watched the King of Zhou grow up, even though the King of Zhou was a little dissatisfied. But you want to see the face of this patriarch and let me unload my armor and return to the field, right? ”
"If he hadn't done this, wouldn't it chill the loyal ministers of the world?" General Su said casually.
"General, the Xibohou of the Xibohou Mansion invites you to go with you to the banquet of the King of Xu. Ask if you're ready now. The butler hurried over from outside. Bow back.
"It turns out that Xibohou was also invited? Let's just go together. Allow him to wait for me to change my clothes. General Su was slightly surprised when he heard the butler's words. But I didn't feel anything wrong. I changed my clothes and walked along.
