Chapter 10: Dare to fool me

For tonight's banquet, Chu Yuan was full of expectations, after experiencing Su Ziche's matter, Chu Yuan's mood was very happy, and at the same time, because of this matter, he became interested in the monarch of the next country.

At the dinner, Chu Yuan met the king of the next country as he wished, a man with an elegant and graceful appearance, not very handsome, but also upright and generous.

For Xiao Chengmo to appear at the banquet in such a form, Xiao Huanyi, Kong Shaoling and others in the audience were extremely depressed, obviously their handsome and unparalleled king, but they became so ordinary and ordinary.

Although I feel a little at a loss, it seems that the kings of the two countries are much inferior to their kings in the competition of images, but fortunately, Xiao Chengmo's momentum is in place, which makes the ministers feel a little comforted.

Xiao Chengmo dressed up to attend like this, the reason Xiao Huanyi knew it well, it was nothing more than that he didn't want Chu Yuan to know the truth, but he had to attend the banquet, so he could only change his makeup and come here to get by.

Chu Yuan looked at the king of the next country opposite, his posture was modest and faintly smiling, although Xiao Chengmo wanted to swallow this man alive, he could only make a warm smile at this time.

Chu Yuan was quite satisfied with Xiao Chengmo's attitude, and the two of them also talked with each other during the banquet, toasting each other, and the banquet where the two kings met, the atmosphere was harmonious.

It's just that the originally lively and casual banquet was accompanied by a sentence that seemed to come out by accident from the King of Chu, and the heat suddenly decreased by several levels.

"Huh? Why didn't Master Su come, I still thought about having two more glasses of wine with him today! ”

Chu Yuan was deliberate, but not deliberately, he was a little disappointed not to see Su Ziche at the table today, but he felt reasonable when he thought about it, after all, Su Ziche had deceived him in the previous country Su Ziche was deceased, and at this time, Su Ziche's presence would be a slap in the face of them in the next country.

Originally, every time Chu Yuan said a word, after Xiao Chengmo took over and made his own remarks, the rest of the ministers would be lively and flattering, but when Chu Yuan said this, there was silence in the hall, and even Xiao Chengmo couldn't help but lower his head and twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely.

"How?" Chu Yuan was a little dazed, as if he didn't understand where his words were unreasonable, and they would have such a reaction.

"Your Majesty the King of Chu......" Kong Shaoling wanted to cry a little, why did he always let him come, although he was reluctant, he couldn't withstand the hints of Xiao Huanyi, the green prince, and left it to him to settle the matter.

"Your Majesty the King of Chu, could it be that you wanted to see Master Su too much, so you forgot that Lord Su contracted an illness and passed away a few years ago? King Chu's words really make us ashamed and uncomfortable. Kong Shaoling was stubborn and softly reminded Chu Yuan of this sensitive fact.

"How so!" Chu Yuan shook his head, "Master Kong, I heard what you said before, and thought that Zi Che was deceased, but I actually saw him with my own eyes last night. If it wasn't a ghost I saw last night, then I'm curious about where the news of Ziche's death came from! ”

"......" Kong Shaoling was a little speechless, squinting his eyes and looking helplessly at Xiao Huanyi, who was slightly embarrassed beside him.

"Master Kong's silence is a tacit acquiescence, then, I want to ask, why did the next country deceive me about this matter?" Speaking of this, Chu Yuan's words were already a little harsh, and his attitude was a little condensed.

Retracted his gaze and no longer looked at Kong Shaoling, but looked at the opposite king lightly, hoping that he could give himself a reasonable and satisfactory answer.

"The King of Chu is angry!" At this time, even if Xiao Chengmo was reluctant, he had to think of a way to settle this matter in front of Chu Yuan.

"King Chu, regarding the matter of Lord Su, the next country did not mean to deceive. At that time, Master Su was indeed seriously ill, and there was no possibility of cure, and when Master Kong sent an envoy to your country, Lord Su was already facing critical illness. Therefore, what Master Kong said at that time was not a deception! Xiao Chengmo's words were light and gentle, with a slight sigh in them, bringing out a touch of sadness.

"Hmph, even if he is critically ill, can it mean that Su Ziche will definitely die, or is he already dead?" Chu Yuan snorted coldly, such words were inevitably too hasty.

"Your Majesty the King of Chu, what my king said is true, and what the lower officials have told you is also the truth. After Xiaguan left the imperial city, he received the news that Lord Su had died of illness, so he dared to say such a thing to you. Kong Shaoling stood up in time and made a reasonable supplement to his king's words.

"Oh? Now that Ziche is sure to be dead, what happened to him I saw last night? If you can't justify this lie, you're fooling me for a fool! At this time, Chu Yuan was already a little angry, and Yiguo's vague and perfunctory attitude really made him disdainful.
