Chapter 30: The Hidden Sword Light is Hidden in the Name of Feasting
At the beginning of the banquet, King Duan praised Emperor Heng first, and the envoy also praised King Duan for governing the country and how strong and prosperous the night was. I didn't want to listen to their clichΓ©s, I ate the vegetables slowly, and when I was thirsty, I saw the wine glass and took a small sip, but I found that the cup was filled with fruit wine that was not easy to intoxicate, and secretly sighed that Duanwang was quite thoughtful, so that I could drink with confidence and not worry about getting drunk.
After King Duan finished his politeness, an old minister who looked like a lot of weight stood up in the Yeyou minister, and after saluting with the envoy, he smiled and said: "I have rarely had contact with Emperor Heng in the past hundred years, and this time your lord and monarch sent an envoy to come, and it is also considered that the two countries are in a way of speaking, the significance is extraordinary, I don't know if we can ask the envoy for advice, if the envoy does not hesitate to advise, it will definitely benefit me and others very much." β
The old minister's words were clear and sonorous.
The envoy of Emperor Heng bowed his head and said: "Lord Gu doesn't have to be polite, if you have something to say, you can ask, and the minister should know everything." β
This Lord Gu probably didn't expect the other party to recognize him, his face was slightly surprised, and then he asked again: "I don't know where the envoy lives?" β
The envoy of Emperor Heng replied: "A small idle job is not enough, Lord Gu just speaks directly." β
That Master Gu touched a small nail, but he didn't change his smile, "That's the case, then the old man asked." The envoy said that I am strong in the night, but in the past ten years, your two countries have ruled behind closed doors, and there is no communication at all, and it is difficult for us to compare with your country, I don't know what the envoy sees, I am strong in the night and today, and I can match your country? β
The envoy of Emperor Heng smiled lightly: "In the past ten years, Emperor Heng has not moved at night, and your country has concentrated on self-government, so as to achieve today's results." β
"The messenger means that the stronger I am in the night for ten years is expected by your country?"
"Not really, the strength of the night is about two or three percent higher than I expected, especially in the past two years, which shows that Duan Wang has a strategy for governing the country."
The envoy of Emperor Heng is also very difficult to listen to, which means that the credit of Duanwang's governance of the country is only a little bit, and it also denies the ability of Duanwang's father to govern. I glanced at Duan Wang, who just drank with a calm face, and didn't raise his eyelids.
Master Gu already had a look of displeasure on his face, but he still continued: "The envoy has not yet answered the old question. β
The envoy of Emperor Heng replied with a smile again: "Since it is expected, how can it be matched?" Our lord has a foresight, and he will not see the darkness of the night and do nothing. Master Gu, it is true that the Yeyou Kingdom is strong, but it is not enough to compare with Di Heng. β
Lord Gu's face was already gloomy, and he stood with his hands behind his back and said, "The envoy may wish to list the strengths of Emperor Heng, and we will listen to you." β
But the envoy of Emperor Heng said: "I am good everywhere, why do I need to list them? β
Master Gu couldn't suppress his anger this time, and pointed at the envoy of Emperor Heng and scolded: "You yellow-mouthed kid has such a big mouth! I'm ...... at night."
"Master Gu." King Duan, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth to interrupt the old minister's words, "Today's banquet will not talk about political affairs, and we will not discuss the length of the matter. The king knows that you are loyal, and he will give you a cup, and after this cup is drunk, please take your seat with the envoy. β
Although Lord Gu was unwilling to be said by King Duan, he couldn't argue anymore, so he drank angrily and returned to his seat and sat down.
The envoy of Emperor Heng had already sat back, picked up the fruits on the table and ate them, as if he was not affected by this discussion.
Twilight Changyan sat next to the envoy of Emperor Heng, and he was also leisurely, as if all the people and words in this Muyang Hall were not taken to heart by him.
King Duan said to the following: "Singing and dancing." β
Then the musicians and dancers entered the hall neatly, and followed the dance after the dance.
In the interval between singing and dancing, the ministers of the night and the envoys of Emperor Heng and Du Changyan only toasted each other, and no one discussed anything until the banquet was over, and the ministers dispersed, and I told Du Changyan that I had something to discuss with King Duan, so I asked them to go back to Yixuan Pavilion first.
Duan Wang was still sitting in the same place, and I sat next to him, and I watched him drink a few more glasses of wine alone.
I felt it and said, "If I knew you were so forbearing, I wouldn't have to worry." β
"Worried?" King Duan looked at me sideways, "What you want to say to me is related to Di Heng?" β
I nodded.
"Emperor Heng has been dormant for ten years, and this time he must be prepared, and the messenger does not hide his sarcasm in his words, just to provoke me. If I don't bear it, I will really dispose of him, and I will not fall into the trap of Di Heng. β
I nodded again, if I wanted to remind him, it turned out that Duanwang himself had already thought it through, so I didn't have to make any more noise, so I said to him: "Since you understand, then I have nothing else to say, I'll go back first." β
"When are you going to leave?"
Seeing that he still had a problem, I stopped when I wanted to stand up, and sat back in the chair, "Twilight Changyan said, tomorrow the envoy of Emperor Heng will ask you for a pass, and you can leave the day after tomorrow." β
"The day after tomorrow...... Duan Wang recited silently, and drank another glass of wine, "Don't tell a third person about your resurrection after death, Lei Nian and I will let this matter rot in our stomachs." β
"Huh? Why? "What I asked was why they kept it a secret from me.
"The world will only treat you as a demon, and it will be unfavorable to you." He gave me a different answer.
If this world insists on using the history I know, the ideology here is probably similar to that of the Three Kingdoms, and if others know that my soul comes from elsewhere, it will indeed only cause trouble, and there is no benefit. I am grateful and want to open my mouth to thank you, "Duanwang ......"
"Name."
My heart twisted, but the separation was imminent, why should I cling to a title, so I said: "Lei Jue, thank you, and please help me thank King Xian." I appreciate your kindness, and I won't tell anyone about it. β
He drank another glass of wine, "That's fine." β
I stood up, saluted him, and said, "Please take care of you and King Xian." In order to avoid the suspicion of the envoy of Emperor Heng, I will not look for you tomorrow, and I will say goodbye the day after tomorrow. β
Still not looking at me, he nodded and said, "Okay." β
Walking down the high platform and walking out of the Muyang Palace, my steps were extremely heavy.
Many times I wanted to look back, but I knew that I couldn't go back.
In the Haoyue Pavilion, Guoguo put a pool of hot water, and I asked them all to rest, and I soaked in the water alone, feeling confused.
I once wanted to escape from this night palace, but now I really want to leave, but there is a trace of loss in my heart.
Emperor Heng, Ye You, Xuan Cang, unconsciously, I have been deeply involved in it, and I will lead a country in the future, I still have no specific concept of these things to this day, can everything only be blocked by soldiers?
Twilight Changyan is already a loyal minister, Ruo Xuanhu looked away......
Also, Duanwang Lei Duel.
"Hey......" I sighed, I didn't want to think about it if I couldn't figure it out, at least on the way back to Xuancang, I still had Xuanhu as my companion.
After taking a shower, I went back to the bedroom alone and lay down on the bed, and called Xuanhu a few times, wanting to talk to her. However, Xuanhu did not appear, and a black shadow flashed through the open window, and the man instantly held me down and covered my mouth and nose.
He tore off the black cloth that covered his face, and I couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes when I saw his appearance.
