Huazhou, Yong'an.

Yong'an on this day is very lively, because the king of the three southwestern states and the battle of the three states came to Yong'an.

In order to welcome the two, Zhuang Shu personally took a group of 100 hunters to the mountains as early as three days ago, although he hunted back countless prey, but Zhuang Shu finally chose only the best of them to stay.

In the main hall, four or five pots of charcoal fire will reflect the hall warmly, each pot of charcoal fire is placed on a large cauldron, the golden meat in the pot flows out of mellow fat under the cooking of the fire, and the people's appetite fingers are moved.

Zhuang Shu personally rode out of the city and welcomed Linghu Chu and Ji Sheng into the main hall.

Outside the hall, a row of guards with knives dressed in armor and burly bodies stretched from the entrance of the main hall to the gate, and the momentum was majestic.

The door slowly opened, and Ji Sheng, Ling Hu Chu and Zhuang Shu walked towards the main hall while laughing.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhuang Shu is really bothered, it really makes me feel ashamed to treat my brothers so warmly." Ji Sheng put his arm around Zhuang Shu's shoulders and said with a laugh.

Zhuang Shu smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Now that Huazhou has such a grand occasion, thanks to the two princes, the lord is not in Yong'an, Zhuang Shu can only make a claim, please get together with the two princes, and express a little gratitude." ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Linghu Chu waved his hand and said: "Then Xiao Chen is my son-in-law, and I are a family, how can a family say these two words?" ”

Zhuang Shu chuckled and nodded, and came to the hall to signal the two to sit down.

Picking up a glass of wine, Zhuang Shu bowed slightly towards Linghu Chu and said: "Zhuang Shu was ignorant before, and there were many misunderstandings with the prince, and today I invited the prince to come in order to release my suspicions with the prince." ”

Linghu Chuhun waved his hand indifferently: "Hey, these things, this king has long been out of his mind, and now this great enemy, Bai Qi is our biggest enemy, if we are suspicious of each other, wouldn't it make the relatives and enemies happy?" ”

"The prince is really broad-minded, Zhuang Shu admires it." The two drank a cup of each other, Zhuang Shu raised his glass and looked at Ji Sheng and said: "It is rumored that the strength of the Marquis Ji is unparalleled in the army, thirty years ago, he went up the mountain alone and hunted a tiger, and now, the strength of the prince is probably even more unfathomable. ”

Ji Sheng was praised by Zhuang Shu a little fluttering, and said with a smile: "Mr. is polite, we are just a reckless man, but the real power is still a great talent like Mr. who is thousands of miles away." ”

Putting down the wine glass, Zhuang Shu smiled and did not speak.

Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Zhuang Shu sat back on the main seat, shook his head and said: "Having said that, if you really want to strategize, the premise is to work together, Lord Wang, two days ago, I heard from my subordinates that the two princes actually disobeyed my lord at all, and they also snatched the ownership of the states and counties in Huazhou without authorization, but there is such a thing?" ”33

Ji Sheng and Ling Huchu's smiles instantly condensed, and the two glanced at each other, both of them reading a hint of something wrong from Zhuang Shu's words.

Squinting his eyes, Ji Sheng looked at Zhuang Shu and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" ”

Waving his hand, Zhuang Shu said: "It's not interesting, I just want to say that there can only be one voice in this Huazhou, that is the voice of my lord, since the two princes have received the holy decree, they should serve my lord as much as they can, if there is any misunderstanding, I am afraid that there will be opinions from top to bottom." ”

Ling Hu Chu squinted his eyes, revealing a look of contemplation, now Xiao Chen was his son-in-law after all, so he was not in a hurry to speak.

Ji Sheng was a little displeased, and immediately said angrily: "Zhuang Shu, do you mean that you still want Lao Tzu to be loyal to that milky doll?" When Lao Tzu was crisscrossing the battlefield, he Xiao Chen was still breastfeeding, and besides, if it wasn't for me and Brother Linghu to receive the decree, the holy decree in Xiao Chen's hand would be a piece of waste paper, and Huazhou could have today, all up to me and Brother Linghu. ”

"Now that Huazhou has been established, Lao Tzu just wants a few states and counties, and he Xiao Chen is still not happy?"

Zhuang Shu's eyes narrowed: "Master Jihou, the prince is now the prince who protects the king, the lord of Huazhou, please be cautious." ”

Ling Hu Chu was embarrassed, on the one hand, he was his son-in-law, and on the other hand, he was a brother who shared the suffering, he couldn't express his position for a while, so he could only be a peacemaker and said: "Okay, Brother Ji Sheng, you don't have to say a word, I also thought about it just now, let's fight this time, wouldn't it be cheaper Bai Qi?" ”

"Linghu Chu!" Ji Sheng looked at Linghu Chu and roared: "Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know what you're doing, now that you have become Xiao Chen's father-in-law, you naturally want to speak to Xiao Chen, but what about me, I don't even have a foothold now, Huazhou is so big, I just want a few states and counties now, they already dare to kick their noses in the face, if he waits for Bai Qi to be defeated, we have no use value, do they still want to kill me?" ”

Zhuang Shu kept his head down, and there was a gloomy color on his face, but he didn't say a word.

Ji Sheng stood up and continued: "Anyway, I will talk about it today, well, I won't hide it, now Huazhou's strength, even if I don't win, he Xiao Chen is enough to compete with Bai Qi, but the establishment of Huazhou also has a few credits for my victory, and I don't want much, let Xiao Chen set aside three states and counties for me to manage by myself, and Lao Tzu will continue to be my idle prince." ”

"As for Huazhou, he Xiao Chen likes to toss and toss."

Ling Hu Chu was embarrassed: "Brother Ji Sheng, why are you suffering?" ”

"Humph!" Ji Sheng snorted coldly and said: "I also figured it out during this time, I originally wanted the three of us to cooperate and create a big thing together, but now, Lao Tzu has to wag his tail like a dog and beg for mercy if he wants a military salary, and he will be talked about in a few states and counties that I deserve. ”

"Eh......" Seeing that Ji Sheng's mind had been decided, Ling Hu Chu could only sigh and stop talking.

Ji Sheng continued to look at the silent Zhuang Shu and said: "Anyway, the puppet emperor is in your hands, now you let him make an order, and we will fall out in the future, and everyone's face will be sad." ”

"Huh!" On the main seat, Zhuang Shu suddenly chuckled, looking very contemptuous and disdainful.

"Want to make my lord feel bad? Victory, you can't help but think too highly of yourself, right? ”

Raising his head, Zhuang Shu looked at Ji Sheng's eyes with a cold chill.

Ji Sheng's eyes narrowed: "Zhuang Shu, what do you mean?" ”

Zhuang Shu muttered: "Now I am Huazhou, except for the two of you, there are 300,000 troops, and you are victorious, and there are less than 50,000 remnants of the defeated army in your hands, and now you still want to bargain with my lord, don't you think you can really shake my Huazhou, right?" ”

"You!" Ji Sheng pondered slightly, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "What do you want to do, I can tell you, I know all the inside stories of Xiao Chen's forgery of the holy decree, you dare to threaten me?" Aren't you afraid that all this will be poked out, and Xiao Chen will be pointed out by thousands of people in the future? ”

Closing his eyes, Zhuang Shu shook his head lightly and said:

"But if it's a dead person, it will be kept a secret forever, right?"

Some people died, but not completely......
