During the day, Shi Yiguang followed the sub-period, asking what to say, humble and polite. But he also said little.

In the evening, he was given a seat by the king of Chu and ate with everyone. This is the first time that Shi Yiguang has been in the Chu State for so long and has not been hungry when attending everyone's banquet.

Today's Shi Yiguang has been made a scholar by the king, although he is the lowest-ranking among Chu officials. But it's not a common man anymore. But at least he is part of the ruling class.

Ordinary local officials still have to bow when they see themselves.

After the dinner, there will be bells and dances.

Shi Yiguang has been quietly following behind Ziqi, and Ziqi is also wandering around with her without hesitation, introducing her to the military attaches at the same banquet from time to time.

After the banquet was over, Shi Yiguang and everyone said goodbye to the king of Chu, and then said goodbye to Ziqi, and then returned to his bedroom.

Shi Yiguang still lives in a bedroom that has just entered the suburban garden. But because he was about to enter the suburban garden, he was accompanied by Xiong Zhang, and he lived in his side house. So at this time, Shi Yiguang was about to enter his room, and he saw Xiong Zhang sitting behind his case, with undisguised anger on his face.

The half plate next to him sat on the plate, carefully making tea for Xiong Zhang.

Seeing the movement at the door, Ban'er turned his head and looked at Shi Yiguang who walked in, with a happy face. He stayed in the house for the first day, and only after dinner did he meet Xiong Zhang, a black-faced man.

Xiong Zhang's black face was really scary, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, and he was trembling in the house making tea for him, and finally saw the savior coming.

"Bingwen." Ban'er saw Shi Yiguang walking in, so he got up. With joy on his face.

Shi Yiguang stood at the door of the house, raised his head and touched Xiong Zhang, first paused, and then lowered his head without changing his face, and took off his own foot clothes.

"Ban'er, you go out first." Shi Yiguang took off his clothes and said lightly as he walked into the room. face

Half of the order, as if he had been pardoned, he ran barefoot to the door of the house, and trotted away in his clogs.

Shi Yiguang entered the room and looked at Xiong Zhang, who was sitting behind his low case, looking at himself deeply.

Although he has always been moody in front of outsiders, his temperament is actually very big, but he hides and rarely gets angry, which is something Shi Yiguang has always known.

"Is there anything wrong with the prince?" Shi Yiguang walked into the room, sat opposite Xiong Zhang, looked at him with a faint face and asked.

Then he lowered his head, picked up the half-boiled tea pot next to him blindly, and continued to pick it up gently with the teaspoon.

Although Shi Yiguang in front of people is gentle and polite, he is silent. But Xiong Zhang has always known that she has a big temper, gentle and humble or something, but she is just pretending.

Xiong Zhang tried his best to suppress his anger, looked at Shi Yiguang who was indifferent in front of him, and said, "Why do you have to join the army?" โ€

Shi Yiguang raised his head, looked at Xiong Zhang, and asked instead of answering: "Then why do you want me to stay in the Chu Palace?" โ€

"That's to protect you." Xiong Zhang looked at Shi Yiguang, took a breath, and replied calmly: "Only if you are by my side, I can keep you safe and sound." โ€

Shi Yiguang looked at Xiong Zhang in front of him, if she was stupid or dead-hearted, she must have been moved at this time. But she wasn't.

"If you really want to protect me, you won't pull me from the Ling Yin Mansion into the Chu Palace." Shi Yiguang looked at Xiong Zhang, hooked the corners of his lips, smiled, and mocked: "You obviously know that compared to the peaceful Ling Yin Mansion, there is also a Xiong Shen who appreciates me and respects me." The undercurrent of Chu Palace is the real dangerous place. โ€

Saying that, Shi Yiguang lowered his head, and while picking up the tea powder, he said, "Even you can't gain a firm foothold in the Chu Palace, how can you protect me?" โ€

It's just to pull her into the Chu Palace and plan for him.

This is what Xiong Zhang wanted to do from the beginning, to enter the Chu Palace and use it for him. With Shi Yiguang's intelligence, he will definitely be able to be his right-hand man.

This was indeed what Xiong Zhang planned at the beginning, but later, he really just wanted to keep her in the Chu Palace and stay by his side. Even though the Yin Mansion was much safer than the Chu Palace, he still wanted to keep her by his side.

But now that I hear her, everything is not intentional. And he couldn't find a single reason to refute it.

Maybe it's really the use she talked about. Xiong Zhang thought to himself.

So he no longer argued, but said: "Even so, your heart is also like a mirror, so why were you still willing to enter the palace with me in the first place?" Now that you're in the palace, why can't you follow me wholeheartedly? โ€

Even though there was a warm invitation from King Chu Zhao at that time, if Shi Yiguang was really unwilling, she would definitely have a way to refuse to enter the palace.

If you take 10,000 steps back, you can at least respond to the kindness of King Chu Zhao and sit on the prince's division with an official position, instead of an accompaniment.

Shi Yiguang listened to Xiong Zhang's words, and his face became a little cold. The indifference dissipated. She put the teaspoon in her hand on the tea roast, and the teaspoon made of gold and iron made a 'ding' sound.

"Because of you." Shi Yiguang raised his head and looked directly at Xiong Zhang. said without any ambiguity: "Because of your Xiong Zhang, I entered the Chu Palace." โ€

When she decided to stand on Xiong Zhang's side, she decided to enter the Chu Palace. So she would rather be an escort and bargain with the king of Chu for this. She is also ready, and after entering the Chu Palace, she plans for Xiong Zhang.

It's a pity that she gave Xiong Zhang many chances, and she wanted to understand the secrets of the palace and the conspiracies that involved him, and then help her. But from beginning to end, he didn't reveal it to her at all. It would be false to say that you are not disappointed. In Shi Yiguang's view, whether it is because he doubts her or because he protects her. That's distrust.

Distrust of her affection, or distrust of her abilities.

"Then why do you want to leave the Chu Palace now?" Xiong Zhang looked at Shi Yiguang's cold face, and said with a little anxiety: "Since I entered the palace, why did you abandon me?!" โ€

"It's because of you, too." Shi Yiguang looked at Xiong Zhang, looked at him coldly, leaned back, and mocked: "It's also because of you Xiong Zhang, that's why I'm leaving." โ€

Xiong Zhang looked at Shi Yiguang stunned.

"Why?" His voice became much quieter, and he looked at Shi Yiguang and asked in a hesitant voice.

"Not why." Shi Yiguang leaned back, his hands propped up on the floor, looking very relaxed. She looked at Xiong Zhang and shrugged her shoulders, looking indifferent: "Because I hate you." โ€

Xiong Zhang looked at Shi Yiguang's indifferent look, and said the words that he hated himself casually, and his heart was stabbed, and the anger that he had suppressed suddenly ignited.
