Chapter 463: The Temptation of the Two Kings
"First of all, right now, the entire Great Wei knows that I am busy with the opening exams of Galaxy University, and even the Holy Lord will try to avoid this time.
The king of Liao didn't make an appointment early or late, but he asked me at this time, which means that either he really has something big to look for me, or he wants people to think that there is something big to find me.
Either way, there's always trouble.
Secondly, recently, the Xungui Group has been fighting back against the Liaowang Group for the previous Liangzi, and the two sides have been fighting each other many times recently, and they are becoming increasingly intense.
Third, the day they asked me to meet happened to be the day when I had a meeting with King Yu and King Su in previous years, and I am afraid that choosing this day was also intended to force me to stand in line.
It's not good. ”
In the midst of breaking the army, Xu Rui sighed to An Ge, Cao Siyuan and Xiaohu who were in the same company.
"In that case, why does the young master still agree?"
An Ge asked puzzled.
Xu Rui shook his head: "Recently, I have been walking a tightrope between various camps under the pretext of being busy with other affairs, the advantage is that I can temporarily hide outside the whirlpool of seizing the heir, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be self-defeating and squeezed to death by each family."
Now it seems that the Liao King's side is at a disadvantage, and he may have been a little impatient, in order to play this balance game, this trip is necessary.
At the very least, I'm going to figure out what they're paying attention to! ”
Cao Siyuan's face changed: "If the King of Liao really can't wait, will he do something to the big handsome?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "Not for the time being, even if they really want to, under the aggressive posture of the princelings, they won't be able to use so many resources to target me for a while, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to fool today." ”
Xiao Hu was stunned: "Then what should I do?" The time for the ruins is approaching, and you must not get bogged down in politics, or it will be bad if something goes wrong or you can't get out! ”
Xu Rui glanced at him and shook his head: "I can't help it, why don't you help me?" ”
Xiaohu opened his mouth, afraid that he would be used as a gun by Xu Rui again, so he hurriedly kept silent.
Xu Rui smiled and said to An Ge and Cao Siyuan: "Don't worry, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming, and the water is coming, now they are begging me, it's a big deal to stabilize them first!" ”
Under the escort of a team of soldiers, the "broken army" drove out of the city and came to a suburban manor with beautiful mountains and rivers called Bixia, which is the place where Xu Rui was invited to the appointment today.
As soon as they approached the manor, two teams of guards of the King of Liao immediately greeted them, opening the way for the "broken army", and the guards directly introduced the carriage into the manor, and then separated on both sides.
The commander of the guards jumped off his horse, respectfully stood beside the "broken army" car and said loudly: "Bixia has arrived, please get off the car." ”
Xu Rui got down from the carriage with the three of them, and the guards of the King of Liao stood in unison, like a legion waiting to be reviewed.
Xu Rui glanced around, and saw that this manor was beautiful, with pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, so elegant, it was indeed a good place for comfort and enjoyment.
In the end, his gaze fell on the commander of the guards, and said lightly: "It's an elegant place, why is it such a big battle?" ”
The commander of the guards said: "Qi Qi Hou Ye, we are the guards trained by the prince himself, and I also ask the Hou Ye to review it." ”
Xu Rui was slightly stunned in his heart, but there was no difference on his face and said, "How can the prince's guards be qualified to review?" Let's lead the way. ”
The commander of the guards didn't say much, and hurriedly said yes, beckoned to the subordinates, and immediately walked out of the array of two pretty maids and saluted Xu Rui.
Xu Rui looked at the commander of the guards with a little surprise, and the commander pointed to the arch on the side and bowed and said, "Qi Hou Ye, the prince will wait for Hou Ye in the courtyard, and I will wait here to guard." ”
Xu Rui nodded, and said to An Ge and the others: "You wait with this commander, and wait until you see the prince." ”
As he spoke, he nodded to Xiao Hu quietly, Xiao Hu didn't say a word, turned around and returned to the "broken army", An Ge and Cao Siyuan beckoned a group of guards, and followed the commander to the place that had been arranged to rest.
Xu Rui followed the two maids through the arch, only to find that there was a cave in the manor, and there was a mountain stream within the courtyard wall, except for a path and a few pavilions, there was no trace of artificial carving, as if it was a paradise.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a small natural lake with a size of more than 20 zhang, and on the small lake is a pile of craggy strange rocks jumping out of the water, which seems to be chaotic, but a closer look makes Xu Rui suddenly frown.
"Hahaha, I just said that I can't hide it from the steel front, you see, he can see the mountains and rivers at a glance!"
At this moment, there was a hearty laugh from the other end of the path, and the two maids who led the way in front of them stopped and bowed their heads to the side.
King Liao and another handsome, tall young man, walked over.
Xu Rui hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Xu Rui has seen the prince!" ”
Don't look at Xu Rui and the King of Liao have dealt with each other many times, but in line with the principle that the king does not see the king, the two met for the first time in addition to the palace of Emperor Hongwei.
The King of Liao walked a few steps quickly, without a sense of rustiness, and held up Xu Rui, who was saluting, and said: "Lord Hou and this king take care of each other, why do you need to be so polite?" Hou Ye, take a look, how is this annex of this king? ”
Xu Rui was not modest, straightened up, glanced around the garden, and finally returned to the strange rocks in the lake, and said with a faint smile: "The ambition to swallow the sky, magnificent!" ”
"Oh?"
King Liao's tone was surprised, but there was no expression of surprise on his face, and he deliberately asked, "What does Gangfeng mean by this?" ”
Xu Rui pointed to the pile of strange stones and said: "Although the strange stones are cheap, they have become the world together." ”
It turned out that the pile of strange rocks formed a huge outline, which happened to be the territory of the nations combined.
The King of Liao laughed loudly and said to the young man behind him: "You see, Gangfeng is worthy of being my Great Wei military marquis, and you can see the beauty of this king's mountains and rivers at a glance." ”
The young man nodded and said with a smile: "That master has already said that the person who can see the wonders of the mountains and rivers at a glance, if he is not destined to return, or has the world in mind, the champion Hou is eighteen years old and the marquis is a general, and he has indeed responded to this statement." ”
When the King of Liao heard this, he burst into laughter again.
Xu Rui secretly looked at the young man who spoke, and saw that he was majestic and extraordinary, but there was an indescribable taste, and he couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at King Liao.
The King of Liao came back to his senses and laughed: "Rude, rude, I forgot to introduce, this is the brother of this king, ranked ninth, and he just crowned the king of Han last year!" ”
Xu Rui's face bloomed with a look of surprise, and he hurriedly arched his hand towards King Han and said, "It turned out that His Royal Highness King Han was in front of him, and the official was rude." ”
King Han didn't dare to hold it up at all, and accompanied Xu Rui to salute and said: "Hou Ye is serious, Xiao Wang has admired Hou Ye for a long time, I heard that the seventh brother made an appointment with Hou Ye today, so he came cheekily, and I hope Hou Ye will not be surprised." ”
"Where, where, to be able to meet a young talent like His Royal Highness, Xu Rui is fortunate to have three lives!"
Xu Rui said with a smile.
King Han shook his head: "Hou Ye said the opposite, to be able to meet Hou Ye, Xiao Wang is fortunate to have three lives!" ”
King Liao shook his head: "You two are both young talents, so don't praise each other in front of this king, right?" Hahaha......"
The king of Liao laughed loudly, causing the two of them to laugh too, and the maids hurriedly walked up and led the three of them into the pavilion, where there had already been prepared with fine wine, melons and fruits, and fragrant tea and hot water.
"I don't know if the prince is here today......
As soon as he entered the table, Xu Rui asked King Liao straight to the point.
King Liao opened his mouth and was about to explain, but King Han spoke first: "I heard that Hou Ye is a yin and yang family, Xiao Wang has a painting here, and I want to invite Hou Ye Yazheng!" ”
"Yazheng doesn't dare, it's okay to open your eyes."
Xu Rui turned around and arched his hand towards King Han.
Seeing that Xu Rui did not object, King Han clapped his hands, and immediately walked out behind two maids, holding a long picture scroll.
When Xu Rui saw the painting, his heart suddenly burst slightly, and the smile on his face stiffened for a moment.
The two princes carefully observed Xu Rui's every move, and when they saw him like this, they glanced at each other, and a solemn look flashed in their eyes.
