"Welcome to the King of Zhenchu. ”

"Hahahaha, Lord Ye, you and all the soldiers have worked hard in the past two days, the old man is deeply sorry!

"Lord Xianwang is polite, the prince is also worried about my Nanchu, how can I take it to heart?"

Ye Xiangfo's entry into the city caused a lot of shocks, but compared with Ye Xiangfo and Chu Xianwang's hypocrisy and grievances, Li Yunyi was more interested in the other people around him. When Ye Xiangfo walked into the city gate, Li Yunyi suddenly saw more than 20 people who were originally standing far away coming up and blending into the queue behind Ye Xiangfo without leaving a trace.

"Huh. ”

"Have you already started to stand in line?"

Seeing this scene, Li Yunyi chuckled.

"Everyone, the journey has been hard, please go home and rest for the time being. When the feast begins, the king will send someone to invite you. ”

King Chu Xian began to be busy with the arrangements, Li Yunyi raised his eyebrows when he saw this, how could he not see his thoughts?

Coercion and inducement.

Why did King Chu Xian choose to invite Ye Xiangfo and the others into the city just after noon? In the eyes of others, this may be out of courtesy, but Li Yunyi knows that this is definitely not.

There are only two days of internal recommendation, and today is the last day, at this time, any move of King Chu Xian, or even any word, must hide a huge mind! Just like now, he invited Ye Xiangfo and the generals under the latter's command to enter the city in advance, the purpose is not as simple as deterring Ye Xiangfo, his real purpose is that all the generals above the third rank under Ye Xiangfo's command can make the balance of the internal recommendation shake!

Are you digging into my corner?

I'll dig yours too!

King Chu Xian's purpose was exactly the same as Ye Xiangfo's, but before that, Ye Xiangfo and his generals were all outside the city, gathered in a camp, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity at all. But once the latter enters the city, the situation will inevitably become different.

Imperial City, this is his home turf!

"There's King Laoxian. ”

Ye Xiangfo responded with no sadness or joy, and he didn't know if he could see King Chu Xian's intentions. In short, this ceremony, which seemed to be welcoming Ye Xiangfo into the city, ended like this, but King Chu Xian's small actions obviously didn't.

Just as Li Yunyi was about to leave after watching this scene, suddenly, Mi Songbai came over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, princesses, Lord Xianwang is invited, now there are many people in Kyoto, I don't know what will happen before the dinner, for the safety of all of you, please go to the palace to rest first." Refreshments have already been prepared, and you are welcome to come. ”

Invited again?

Everyone was surprised, and Li Yunyi also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lots of people?

Are you kidding me?

Now that the ban has been implemented in the whole of Kyoto, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit casually, even if they are ministers of the DPRK and China, they can only move around under their jurisdiction.

Not to mention Li Yunyi, even Zhuge Jian and the others could easily see the reason for King Chu Xian's arrangement.

"Isn't it just that you don't want us to come into contact with Ye Xiangfo?

Qi Songbai originally thought that he was only afraid that making such a request for King Chu Xian would cause dissatisfaction among Zhuge Jian and many others, and he was quite apprehensive at this time, but what he didn't expect was-

"Hehe, since it was invited by Lord Xianwang, we naturally have no reason to disobey. ”

"Marquis Mi has worked hard, please lead the way. ”

To everyone's surprise, it was Lu Guanhou who stood up this time, and what surprised Mi Songbai even more was that as soon as Lu Guanhou said this, Zhuge Jian and the others were still surprised just now, and suddenly it became agreement.

"That's right, since it's the order of the prince, why do you need to say anything else? Please let the Hou Ye lead the way, we are waiting for a place to rest. ”

Mi Songbai was stunned when he heard this.

This...... It's not the same as last night!

Didn't you all want to stay in King Xian's Mansion last night, why did you ...... this time

Mi Songbai couldn't understand the reason for the great change in the attitude of Zhuge Jian and the others, and only thought that Zhuge Jian and the others had made the final decision after going back last night, and in this mood of surprise, joy and suspicion, he finally led everyone to the Xianwang Mansion.

Familiar mansion, familiar courtyard.

East View Court.

"Please take care of yourself, as long as you don't leave the house. If you need anything, just ask, I'll wait outside the door. ”

Mi Songbai stood behind the arch, obviously not planning to leave from now until the beginning of the dinner, Zhuge Jian and the others didn't care, although there was no verbal confiding, but the eyeballs were called flexible, and they were one line away from secretly sending Qiubo, when they got a positive answer from Li Yunyi's eyes, they raised their glasses and greeted Lu Guanhou.

"Come, Brother Lu, I'll toast you!"

"I have known each other since the First World War of Eastern Qi, Brother Lu is really a surprise to me!"

For a while, Lu Guanhou was staggered in front of him, and he didn't stop, he was a little busy for a while, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and he occasionally looked at Li Yunyi, and he was even more grateful.

"It seems...... No problem?"

Li Yunyi was still thinking about the sudden vigilance when he saw Lu Guanhou's back yesterday, and after careful observation, he still didn't get anything, Lu Guanhou was a little clumsy in the face of Zhuge Jian and others' enthusiasm at first, and then became more and more proficient, without the slightest suspicion.

"Is it really overthinking?"

Li Yunyi pursed his lips, put the matter aside for the time being, and looked at the excitement in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. From the actions of Zhuge Jian and others, he could see that Zhuge Jian and others should not know what their real plan was, but they only knew from Lu Guanhou that he had other thoughts tonight, hoping to get the support of Zhuge Hou and others. For Zhuge Hou and others, this is indeed a bit of a long-term drought and a rainy day, and Lu Guanhou's invitation surprised them, because Lu Guanhou took the initiative to stand up and offer plans for the major vassal states, which was really the first time in the world. Of course, there was no one but Li Yunyi.

"Don't say anything else, just talk about Brother Lu's responsibility, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will support you!"

King Ju was obviously a little drunk, a little drunk, and said the most explicit sentence of the crowd, which made the Mi Songbai who was listening by the arch all their ears flutter and look at them in surprise.

Affair?

What's up?

Zhuge Jian hurriedly played a round.

"Hahaha, Brother Ju Wang, Lord Xianwang's dinner hasn't started yet, don't get drunk. We and the other vassal states are originally one, and after all of them are my Southern Chu meritorious deeds, what we do will be the dynasty and we will be loyal to the royal family, so what is it not good to talk about?"

"According to me, our Lord Xianwang, Lord Zhenchu, they are the backbone of our Southern Chu!"

Zhuge Jian patted King Ju's shoulder, his true anger was like a needle piercing his shoulder blades, King Ju's fat body trembled and then he woke up suddenly, and Yu Guang saw Mi Songbai's eyes like a needle, and most of the wine was dissipated at once, and he nodded again and again, and followed Zhuge Jian's words:

"Yes!"

"The virtuous king is our backbone!"

There was a commotion, and another wave of staggering, and when everyone felt that the sight from Mi Songbai was gradually fading, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but especially King Ju, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. Li Yunyi watched this scene the whole time and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

These guys are really breathless!

But fortunately, they still know the benefits and disadvantages, and for themselves, this is enough.

Li Yunyi squinted his eyes and glanced at the two black-clothed people sitting with Xiong Jun and others beside him, the black robe strictly covered his figure, and there was a cloak to cover his face, the two sat side by side, and they didn't drink or eat, they just sat dry. In fact, they are the same as the grandmaster behind Zhuge Jian and the others, they don't drink a drop of alcohol, and they maintain absolute sanity and vigilance, Zhuge Jian and the others, including Mi Songbai, have long noticed the two black-robed people behind Li Yunyi, and Zhuge Jian even teased on the road.

"Master Strategist, you Jingguo are only three grandmasters, Miss Jiang is still so flowery, if you are afraid of people's worries, I will definitely help the military master get rid of those annoying flies, but if you suffocate Miss Jiang, it will be really a bit too much." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, even if you are cheaper than others, it will not be your turn. ”

Li Yunyi just smiled lightly, scolded with a smile, and drove Zhuge Jian away, but he still didn't let Gonggong Fu and them take off their black robes. Zhuge Jian and the others didn't care, they just thought that Li Yunyi didn't want people to see Jiang Xiaociao's flower face, which would make people worry, as for Gonggong Fu's black robe...... It's just for the sake of superficial consistency. After all, tonight's banquet is the top party in Southern Chu, and the costumes still have to be considered, Li Yunyi may have this meaning when choosing this outfit for his father-in-law, no one thought much about it.

Mi Songbai is the same, because he has seen Fugong Jiang Xiaocicada and knows that they are grandmasters. The task he got was to be optimistic about Zhuge Jian and the others, and not to let Ye Xiangfo's people have the slightest contact with them, and the others were not within his duties, and he didn't have the heart to think about them. In Mi Songbai's opinion, with this thought, he might as well find out more useful information from the words of Zhuge Jian and others.

"Come, Brother Lu, I'll toast you too!"

Li Yunyi retracted his gaze, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and walked towards Lu Guanhou, which immediately attracted another commotion.

......

The East View Garden of King Xian's Mansion is staggered, and it seems to be lively, but it is actually similar to imprisonment. But they didn't care, because not only them, but also the entire Chu Jing Imperial City, except for King Chu Xian himself, who was not in the "cage", even if he could move around at will, he would inevitably be under surveillance.

As for what small actions there would be in the imperial city at this time, although they couldn't see it, they could think of it, it was nothing more than King Chu Xian secretly sending people to the mansions of the generals under Ye Xiangfo's command to coerce and lure them.

Tonight's main event, who will be the real winner?

Zhuge Jian and the others seemed to be cheerful, but in fact, their hearts were not so relaxed, even if they knew that Lu Guanhou had some plans, but before the latter really revealed their plans, they could not ensure whether Lu Guanhou could really help their major vassal states get out of this imperial power shock.

In everyone's heart, they have prepared for the worst.

"Big deal, abstain!"

"Anyway, our major vassal states are already in harmony with the imperial power, and you have the ability to destroy our country?"

In their opinion, the safest way is naturally for all countries to choose to abstain, in this way, no matter who takes the throne in the future, it is impossible to really do anything to them, because in this choice, the major vassal states are involved in the whole body, if you want to put out the fire, you can only find one, right? As for who this unlucky guy is, it depends on the future planning, who is so short-sighted will hit the muzzle of Nan Chu's gun. But what they are most afraid of is abstaining!

What if you abstain and others don't? In this case, the exception is not a good thing, and it must be the target of the beating!

"Gamble horizontally and vertically!"

"The sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it!"

Therefore, Zhuge Jian's hope is that one is in Lu Guanhou, and the other is in abstention. As for whether the first one is feasible, will the second one be a trap...... No one can be sure, just as no one dares to say until now, who will win Ye Xiangfo and King Chu Xian in the end, so as to get the real control of the Southern Chu Imperial Power, after all, they still have places in their hands that have not been released, and this is also a means to deter opponents!

"Depend on fate. ”

The glass of wine is bitter, and the refreshments are not fragrant, but you can only endure it.

Until, dusk has come, the sky will be dark, Zhuge Jian Yunfei Princess and others stayed in this Dongjing Garden for a whole afternoon, when night fell, the pine and cypress outside the arch finally took the initiative to appear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time is up, please. ”

"The carriages and horses are ready, and Lord Xianwang is waiting for you in the Hall of Heroes. ”

Hall of Heroes?

As soon as Mi Songbai's words came out, even Li Yunyi's pupils couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Among the hundred halls of the Chujing Imperial Palace, the Qunying Hall is only an inconspicuous one, but not because it is not amazing, but because its brilliance is covered by a large hall next to it.

Xuanzheng Palace!

Yes, it was the Xuanzheng Hall where the emperors of the Southern Chu dynasties met with the ministers, listened to the government, and held ceremonies such as the canonization of Shuowang! It was the well-deserved center of power and administration in the entire Southern Chu, and it was there that the establishment of the prince and the succession ceremony were held. The Hall of Heroes is only one mile away from the Xuanzheng Palace!

King Chu Xian, this is the rhythm of promoting the prince after preparing for the night banquet?

Is he so confident in his own side?

Or -

Forced to be confident?

Everyone glanced at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, which made their originally heavy hearts sink a little. But there was not much communication except for the eyes, and everyone followed Mi Songbai out of the Xianwang Mansion, boarded the carriage, and drove into the deep palace wall after a while.

Really.

Torches have been lit in front of the Hall of Heroes, and the lights in front of the entire palace are bright, and there is not even a shadow left. There are also torches standing in front of the Xuanzheng Hall on the other side, but they haven't been lit yet, but everyone knows that-

They're going to be ignited soon.

Just tonight!

"The moment that will decide history?"

This kind of scene is really solemn, and the heartbeat can't help but accelerate, and they don't dare to take more glances at the Xuanzheng Palace, and everyone is in a hurry.

It's just that when everyone followed Mi Songbai to the front of the Qunying Hall and prepared to step in turn, when it was the turn of the people of Jingguo led by Xiong Jun, an accident suddenly happened.

"Please take off your masks, two Grandmasters, and let me identify them so that we can register them. ”

Hat.

Check in?

Zhuge Jian and the others were stunned for a moment, and they stopped one after another, only to see that next to the main hall, someone was registering something, and the names of each of them were impressively listed, and they couldn't help frowning secretly.

King Chu Xian still has such an arrangement?

"Why do you want to be registered, do you still doubt that any of us will do something wrong?"

"This is an insult to our vassal states!"

Zhuge Jian and the others stepped forward one after another, it was not that they stood up for Li Yunyi, they really had never seen such a practice, and this kind of practice was really dissatisfied.

At this time, Mi Songbai stood silently in front of the clerk and bowed his hand:

"Everyone, the marquis is angry, we are also acting according to the instructions of Lord Xianwang, and I also ask you to take care of it. ”

Take King Chuxian to press us?

Zhuge Jian and the others frowned, and when they were upset, suddenly-

"Ben Hou is willing to vouch for the two grandmasters of Jingguo. ”

Everyone looked at it in surprise, and a jade-like face came into view, even Mi Songbai was shocked.

It turned out to be Lu Guanhou!

When did he have such a good relationship with Jingguo?

But surprise is surprise, Mi Songbai is obviously not so easy to speak, lowered his head, and bowed lower.

"Please also ask the marquis not to embarrass the pine and cypress. ”

None of this?

Lu Guanhou frowned deeply, and so did Zhuge Jian and the others beside him. As princes of various countries, they were treated like this by King Chu Xian, of course they were unhappy in their hearts, but Mi Songbai's attitude was clear to this extent......

"General Xiong, Yi Junshi, or let's ......"

Just as King Ju was trembling and trying to persuade him, suddenly, something unexpected happened.

"Lord Lu Guanhou can't do it, so what if you add me?"

A distinctly old but endless vitality voice came, and the people gathered in front of the hall were stunned for a moment, and then raised their heads suddenly, looking at the hall in surprise, and their eyes were very surprised. Even though they had heard the latter's voice before they looked up, when the latter's face was actually displayed in front of everyone, it still made their hearts tremble.

It's not just them.

Mi Songbai was also taken aback, looking at the gray figure striding over, his whole brain was confused, and his head grew in an instant.

"Wind Nation Master, why are you here?"

Not bad.

It wasn't someone else who suddenly intervened, it was-

Southern Chu National Teacher, wind and dust!
