Rumble!

Jiaolong landed and knelt at the feet of King Chu Ling, and Xiong Ju also threw himself to the ground, exposing all the vital points of his body in front of King Chu Ling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the king wants to take my life, I will kill myself before the king, and I will only want the king to have peace of mind. ”

"But there is one word, please listen to me. "At this time, the title of 'minister' was not so popular, because the definition of 'minister' at this time was a male ** subordinate, and in the Qing court in later generations, some courtiers called themselves slaves, but there was no difference.

No matter how Xiong Ju says, his status in the state of Chu is second only to that of King Chu Ling, even if he intends to flatter, he will not call himself a 'minister' and reduce himself to a slave.

"I am connected to the king by blood, and I am loyal to him. The king was suspicious of me today and wanted to kill me, and I should have obeyed his wishes. But I am terrified that when I die, the king will be deceived by traitors, and there will be no faithful man like me to protect him, but the king will be exposed and taken advantage of by the enemy. Xiong Ju said this a little nakedly, and unceremoniously put himself in the position of the guardian of King Chu Ling.

This is the Warring States Period, the pre-Qin period, and the most open-minded period in Chinese history. People's minds have not yet been bound by Confucianism. Some of the ideas and statements are naturally very bold and direct.

It's not like the later generations of Confucianism ruled for many years, if there are any thoughts and wants to say, they have to turn a few corners and express them euphemistically.

Chu He listened to Xiong Ju's words on the side, his eyes lit up, and he had to applaud Xiong Ju.

His words hit King Chu Ling's weakness.

King Chu Ling's biggest problem is that he is suspicious... or most of the rulers of the world have this problem.

King Chu Ling became suspicious of Xiong Ju because of someone provoking him and wanted to kill him. Xiong Ju also took advantage of King Chu Ling's suspicions, making King Chu Ling's heart become uncertain.

Maybe someone really had contact with King Chu Ling before Chu He, and even informed him about the afterlife.

But how to prove it?

Suppose suddenly someone runs up to you and tells you that one day your brother will kill you, steal your property, kill your son, and take your wife and concubine. I am from the future, and I know these things, and you believe me!

Will you really believe it all, even if it's true, and it can't be true anymore.

King Chu Ling was determined to kill Xiongju, and this reason was just an excuse for him to do it.

And what Xiong Ju needed now was an excuse for King Chu Ling to let him go and return to his original suspicious mentality.

"King Chu Ling! Cheng is also suspicious, and defeat is also suspicious!" Chu He couldn't help but sigh.

There was no different color on his face, but King Chu Ling put away his longbow.

Chu He breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiong Ju still knelt on the ground, waiting for King Chu Ling's verdict.

King Chu Ling walked down from the high platform, walked to Xiongju's side, and personally helped him up: "You and the widow are brothers of the same origin, how can the widow kill you! Don't worry too much, listen to the rumors." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

After a simple turmoil, a guy wearing the clothes of an inner servant and covered with bloody wounds all over his body was carried over by a group of inner servants with snow-white faces and floating in the air like ghosts.

"It's this person who made rumors and made trouble, and I didn't want to know the magic without permission, which was obviously ill-intentioned. The widow will peel his skin and cramp, pull the bones and grind the marrow, and vent his anger for you. King Chu Ling dealt with this matter lightly.

Since Xiongju is fine, then the person who provokes and informs King Chu Ling about the afterlife should have an accident.

Chu He had a faint impression of this blood-covered chamberlain, he seemed to be a monk who was in Zhanghuatai at the time, on a mound, there was a Dharma platform, and the Dharma Platform wanted to summon the spiritual light illusion to descend.

He was so ruthless that he gave himself a knife and went directly to the palace as a chamberlain, which was indeed the fastest way to contact King Chu Ling.

Anyway, things that are broken, as long as they come out of the aura illusion, they will grow back.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that King Chu Ling was so unreliable, but Xiong Ju was so eloquent, and his clever tongue made King Chu Ling temporarily dispel the idea of killing him, and instead used his life to appease Xiong Ju.

This chamberlain was already seriously injured, his eyes were blurred, and his gaze swept over King Chu Ling, revealing an extremely vicious and contemptuous gaze.

"Dumb King, sooner or later you will be killed by yourself. I'm blind, so I want to remind you! The waiter's breath was weak, but he still scolded.

Of course, King Chu Ling would not know who Adou was, but this did not prevent him from understanding the vicious meaning of these words.

"Take him down! I want him to live for nine days before he dies. King Chu Ling instructed those ghostly chamberlains.

These chamberlains had an indifferent expression on their faces, but their eyes showed a look of great interest.

Chu He was sure that these servants were not people, maybe they were unknown demons and monsters, or maybe they were a kind of witchcraft creation.

There are many witches in ancient Chu, but many of them have been lost in later generations, and there are not many that have been handed down.

Chu He kept his head down as much as possible to avoid being seen by the attendant who was still scolding. Otherwise, it will be extremely troublesome to explain if he is called out of his identity.

Xiong Ju was able to convince King Chu Ling skillfully, and that was because he had this value and weight.

And the identity of a nobleman of Chu in Chu River is not enough to be used as a talisman. With the tyranny of King Chu Ling, as long as he felt that there was something wrong with him, he would immediately send him to death.

"What did you do when you entered the palace today?" King Chu Ling took Xiong Ju's hand and asked very affectionately. It's as if he was going to kill Xiongju before, and it wasn't himself who put him to death.

Xiong Ju also responded affectionately: "Xiong Jie, a relative of the royal family, found a kind of fine wine, and after I had the pleasure of tasting it, I felt that this kind of wine was only worthy of the king's taste." Therefore, he brought him to the palace to pay respects. ”

At this moment, Xiong Ju didn't seem to have any complaints about the previous things, and directly left it behind.

"Fine wine?" King Chu Ling heard this, although he was slightly interested, he didn't have much reaction.

Among the seven kingdoms, Chu is the most vast and rich in products.

As the monarch of Chu State, what King Chu Ling can enjoy and have is naturally far beyond what ordinary people think. The so-called fine wine, he doesn't care.

"In that case, let's offer it!"

Xiong Ju nodded at Chu He, and Chu He took out the fine wine that had already been replaced with a jade gourd and placed it on the tray held by the waiter.

An attendant directly opened the jade gourd and poured some wine into the jade cup.

The icy blue wine with a little red light, as well as the extremely rich aroma of wine, instantly attracted the attention of King Chu Ling.

successfully attracted King Chu Ling's attention.

An attendant who was in charge of testing the poison drank all the wine in the jade cup, and a satisfied expression suddenly appeared on his face.

After the half-ring, there was nothing wrong with the waiter, and someone checked the body, and there was nothing unusual, which showed that the wine was not poisonous.

However, King Chu Ling looked at the chamberlain jealously, and then said, "This kind of fine wine, it is really a blessing that a person like you can taste it before a widow. If you drink this wine, you should die without regrets!"

So saying, he drew his sword and stabbed the servant of the wine to death.
