Huiji Chu Palace, Xiong Xin looked at the empty palace in the dark, and only felt cold physically and mentally.

A month ago, Xiong Xin almost fell directly from the sky into the quagmire, loyal to his Song Yi, who had just mastered part of the military power and was about to change his fate, was killed by Xiang Ji by finding an excuse.

A series of generals who followed Song Yi to him were all killed and wiped out, and since then, he, the king of Chu, has become a real loner.

In the huge palace of the king of Chu, and even the country of Chu that stretches thousands of miles, Xiong Xin can't see half of the people who are loyal to him.

What relieved Xiong Xin was that a few days ago, Xiang Ji publicly announced that he had cut down Qin and taken away most of the henchmen of Chu State, and now those people left behind in Chu State, although they may not be loyal to him Xiong Xin, most of them are not Xiang Ji's henchmen.

However, Xiong Xin was just relieved, the crisis was not solved, the state of Chu was still in the hands of Xiang Ji, according to Song Yi, he, the king of Chu, could fall into the quagmire at any time, and it would be difficult to turn over for the rest of his life.

Xiong Xin suddenly felt that he had to take advantage of Xiang to leave the Chu State and do something.

Even if you can't completely escape from the control of the item, you have to add a little self-protection to not waste such a good opportunity.

Bear Heart, who has made up his mind, forces himself to sleep, recuperates his spirits, and prepares to start his own plan.

......

Early the next morning, Xiong Xin woke up from his dream, immediately called the chief of internal affairs of the palace, and ordered: "The lonely king wants to invite the three heads of the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families to the banquet, you arrange for the internal affairs office to prepare, and then send someone to send the invitation to the three masters." ”

The head of internal affairs is the old man of the old Chu court, and he can be said to be loyal to the state of Chu, and he also has great respect for the new king of Chu.

As soon as the king of Chu gave an order, the chief of internal affairs immediately responded: "The minister obeys the order." Rest assured, the king, the ministers will take care of this matter. ”

Xiong Xin just nodded slightly, so his style was light, he was already smart, and during the time he became the king of Chu, the city government he cultivated was not shallow.

......

Jingfu in the east of Huiji City, Jing Tian, the head of the contemporary Jing family, immediately showed a look of confusion after receiving the invitation, how could the king of Chu suddenly think of feasting himself?

After thinking about it for a long time, Jing Tian, who didn't come up with a clear result, planned to go to the banquet in the evening to see what was going on.

The same doubts and reactions appeared in the Zhao Mansion and the Qu Mansion in Huiji City.

The two heads of the family also had the idea of going to see what was going on first.

......

In the evening, Xiong Xin wore a brand-new royal robe and a flat-topped crown and walked into the hall specially used for the banquet of the king of Chu.

The three heads of the Qu Jingzhao family, who received the invitation in advance, came to the main hall early, and when they saw Xiong Xin coming in, they immediately got up and saluted: "The ministers will meet the king." ”

Xiong Xin's long sleeves waved and said, "You don't have to be polite, please take a seat." With that, he walked up the steps and sat down in front of the large table.

Seeing Xiong Xin sit down, Zhaoyang Jingtian Quhe and the three of them sat down again.

The housekeeper, who had been prepared for a long time, led the mermaid to enter and put the fine wine, fresh melons and fruits, and sweet pastries on the table in front of the four of them.

Xiong Xin held the wine bottle high and said loudly: "The Lone King can have today, thanks to your strong support, the Lone King is here to toast you." ”

The three of them hurriedly stood up and said in unison: "Weichen doesn't dare to be greedy for merit, the king can have today, all because of the king's deep fortune." ”

Xiong Xin just smiled slightly, swallowed the wine in the wine bottle, and let the spicy sensation go from his throat to his stomach.

"You don't have to be restrained, you can be as casual as you can in front of the Lone King, strictly speaking, you are all descendants of the King of Chu and Miao like the Lone King, and your ancestors are originally a family, but they are just different generations. ”

Xiong Xin tried to keep an easy-going appearance as much as possible.

Jing Tian and the three of them glanced at each other, the three of them were all old fritters who had been mixed for an unknown amount of time, and they couldn't see the meaning of Xiong Xin's wooing.

It's just that this level of wooing can't arouse the slightest interest of the three of them.

Although Xiong Xin is a powerless and powerless King of Chu, after all, his identity is there, and his attitude should be sincere.

So Jing Tian opened his mouth and replied: "There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, please ask the king to forgive the ministers and others and dare not trespass." ”

Zhaoyang echoed: "The king can be a corporal, this is the capital of the overlord, but the ministers dare not lose their courtesy, so that everyone is impeached." ”

failed to win over for the first time, and the bright smile on Xiong Xin's face immediately became a little reluctant.

Xiong Xin, who took a deep breath, snorted and said: "Feel free and casual, you can strictly abide by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the lonely king is very pleased, come, you can taste the food in the palace." ”

"King Xie," the three of them saluted, added the food in front of them with chopsticks, ate two or three bites, and then put them down, and stopped after tasting them.

Seeing this, Xiong Xin immediately asked, "Isn't this delicacy to your taste?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and a touch of contempt appeared in their eyes, the chef of the palace was originally selected by them, what is the level, are they still not clear?

The chefs of the three of them are a little stronger than the chefs in the palace, so Xiong Xin's words are a joke in their eyes.

However, the king of Chu couldn't help but give face, Zhaoyang opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's just that it's too delicious, and the ministers don't want to eat too much at one time, for fear that there will be less of this delicacy in the future." ”

Xiong said with a wit: "In this case, you can often come to the palace to drink and feast and eat more." ”

Zhaoyang's face was sluggish, but he didn't expect Xiong Xin to use the question to play, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The atmosphere of the next banquet was a little dull, and the three of them were obviously silent, unless Xiong Xin asked in a hurry, he didn't answer until he answered.

Xiong Xin, who was looking forward to this banquet, couldn't help but be disappointed, but the speed of drinking was a little faster.

By the end of the banquet, Xiong Xin had already drunk three pots of wine, and the whole person was a little drunk.

Suddenly, Xiong Xin ordered the chief of internal affairs to leave the main hall with the eunuch and palace maid who served, and for a while there were only four people left in the hall.

"Hiccup", Xiong Xin burped, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared, and said with the strength of the wine: "The three of you think, now this Chu State that spans thousands of miles, is it surnamed Xiong or something else?"

"In another hundred years, will the three households of Chu and the surname Xiong still dominate this country of the god of fire?"

As if he was really drunk, Xiong Xin asked these two questions, and then fell down, and the whole person was unconscious.

Zhaoyang Jingtian Qu He three, hearing this, his face changed drastically, and when he saw Xiong Xin drunk, his face eased slightly.

The three exchanged glances, and Zhaoyang immediately shouted: "Come on, the king is drunk, help the king go back to rest." ”

The chief housekeeper who was waiting outside the hall immediately brought someone to hurry over, gently picked up the bear heart lying on the table, and brought it back to the dormitory.

The three of Zhaoyang also got up and left.

The three of them walked on the slightly empty avenue, full of doubts in their hearts, whether the young King of Chu was really drunk or used the topic to play.

As one of the veteran nobles of the Chu State, should he get involved in this matter, or should he stand idly by?

After half a ring, the three of them spoke almost at the same time: "Go back and have a party." ”

"Sometime to sit together?"

"I think we should talk about it. ”

After the words were spoken, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the heaviness in their hearts was suddenly relieved.

In the palace of the king of Chu, Xiong Xin, who was carried to the bed by the head of internal affairs, suddenly opened his eyes, sighed slightly, and said: "The Lone King has hinted to the extreme, if the three families are still loyal to the Chu State and the Xiong family, there will still be a glimmer of life." ”

"If even the three families are unwilling to support themselves, then they can only resign themselves to fate. Alas!"
