Chapter 102: Dark Tide Surges
At the palace banquet, the words of Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, can be said to have shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Boasting that his courtiers are the number one heroes in the world is nothing, but saying these words in front of outsiders, especially the most ruthless Hou Jin who was offended by Chu Yujia, has a bit of other meaning.
Chu Yujia hurriedly knelt on one knee and intervened: "King, the minister doesn't dare to ......"
"Don't dare?"
King Ye Zhao Yan put the wine glass on the table, looked at Chu Yujia who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "There are other things you don't dare?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally happy atmosphere of the palace banquet suddenly changed its taste.
Chu Yujia pursed his lips, and after a long time, he still said that sentence: "Minister, don't dare to ......"
"Hmmm......"
Ye Wang Zhao Yan nodded, sat on the king's chair, and said with a smile: "Don't look lonely, what should you do." ”
As the words fell, he looked up at the envoy of the Later Jin.
When he was stared at by King Ye's sharp eyes, the envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty couldn't help but shiver, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word.
Obviously, when he said this, he meant to lead the war, in front of the king, saying that his courtiers were the first heroes in the world, what is this not provoking?
If it is said that it is the first warrior of Ye Kingdom, no one will say anything, but to say that the word "world" is obviously wrong, and it means something else.
Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was this smile and this look that made everyone present quiet, except for some subtle sounds, there was no other sound.
Chu Yujia also knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and arched his hands.
In fact, he also understood what was going on in his own heart, it was nothing more than killing chickens to show the monkeys, so that these Later Jin envoys knew that this was Ye Kingdom, not a place where they could talk nonsense, and there was a deeper meaning, that is, by the way, he was beating himself, so that he should not be too sharp, to.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yan waved his hand, regained his kind appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, General Chu should also get up." ”
"King Xie!"
Chu Yujia raised his head and regained his appearance and returned to his seat.
The whole palace banquet also changed its flavor with this little episode, and in the following, it was safe and sound, and almost nothing happened.
After a while, Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, claimed that he was a little sleepy, so he took the princess and the others back to the palace, leaving Zhao Kuan, the eldest son, to be in charge.
To put it bluntly, King Ye Zhao Yan held a palace banquet this time, on the one hand, to entertain the envoys of the two countries, but more importantly, he planned to let Zhao Kuan take a step closer to the table.
Zhao Yan is gone, and many of the old ministers in the royal court have no need to stay, so they all got up and said goodbye, and the rest are nothing more than a group of light and strong or some grassroots officials who are unwilling to leave and want to stay to leave a good impression on their future king.
Zhao Kuan also began to show the demeanor of a king, and did not refuse the officials who came to toast.
It wasn't until he looked up and saw Wang Yunning, the eldest princess of the Later Jin Dynasty, that the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
If he thought that the purpose of these people was Chu Yujia and not himself at the beginning, he could still handle it calmly, but now that he knew the other party's purpose, how could he keep his mind calm?
"Brother Kuan, I salute you for a ......"
Wang Yunning was not at all decadent when she was just defeated, she put on a beautiful appearance, holding a wine glass, looking at Zhao Kuan, that look is really affectionate, but there are no little stars in her eyes.
Chu Yujia, who glanced at the situation here, couldn't help but shake his head and smile, this woman is really a natural acting school......
Zhao Kuan glanced at her casually and said with a smile: "Good ......"
This is an understatement, but it made Wang Yunning's face stiffen, because on the way she came, it was Zhao Kuan who greeted her, and at that time, Zhao Kuan was also very enthusiastic about her, making him think that Zhao Kuan also had a good impression of him, but now it seems that it is not the same ......
But the acting school is still the acting school after all, Wang Yunning still has that elegant smile, and Zhao Kuan slightly touched the glass, and then drank the wine in the cup.
Just as Wang Yunning was about to say a few words to Zhao Kuan, a person appeared very unfortunately.
It was the one she hated so much that she gritted her teeth, General Ye Guozhong, Chu Yujia.
Chu Yujia stood behind Zhao Kuan at the right time, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, eldest prince, I toast you!"
Zhao Kuan smiled apologetically at Wang Yunning, then turned his head, faced Chu Yujia, and said, "Okay, our brothers, I haven't drunk it for a long time, although it is a little inconvenient today, DNA is another day, you must have a good drink, but today, you must drink a few more glasses." ”
These words are nothing more than reminding Chu Yujia to help him out of the siege quickly.
Chu Yujia also knew his difficulties, so he obeyed him.
Watching the two of them drink one cup after another, they didn't mean to stop at all, let alone take care of themselves, although they still had a smile on their faces, they knew that they had begun to tremble faintly.
After a long time, she turned away in a daze.
But after taking a few steps, Wang Yunning glanced back at Zhao Kuan, then at Chu Yujia, snorted coldly, and said, "Let's go, go back to the pavilion......"
It wasn't until Wang Yunning was about to walk to the palace gate that a person suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "What, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is leaving?"
Hearing this, Wang Yunning turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man with gray beard and hair, this person was about fifty years old, with a rough face and a powerful figure.
This kind of momentum is created by killing the enemy on the battlefield, and it is not possible to pretend at all.
In fact, even if he didn't look at this person, just feeling the momentum, Wang Yunning already knew who the other party was.
"Who else should this princess be, it turned out to be General Wu of Ye State. ”
Wang Yunning didn't have a good impression of this person, after all, the main force that fought with the Later Jin Dynasty a few years ago was this master, on the battlefield where the two countries were at war, I don't know how many Later Jin men died at the hands of this person, so he didn't want to pay attention to him, and wanted to move on.
Who knows, Wu Dangguo followed, seemingly strolling leisurely, and said as he walked: "I know that the eldest princess doesn't want to see me, but I also know some of the eldest princess's thoughts. ”
"What if you know?"
Hearing this, Wang Yunning's face became even more annoyed, and said, "The general might as well take care of yourself first......
Wang Yunning snorted coldly, and said otherwise: "If that person grows up, I don't know how many years you can sit in the position of general......"
When the words fell, Wang Yunning flicked his sleeves and left.
Wu Dangguo didn't stop it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly behind Wang Yunning's back: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, if the eldest princess needs help, just ask ...... it."
Wang Yunning ignored him at all, and slowly the crowd disappeared into the darkness.
The corners of Wu Dangguo's mouth were raised, he glanced back at the brightly lit palace, snorted coldly, and left.
The feast dispersed, and the ministers departed one after another.
The last to leave were Chu Yujia and Zhao Kuan.
As the eldest son, Zhao Kuan did not live in the palace, but had a small courtyard outside the palace.
Gong Limo and Liu Congyang walked in front with the little girl Chu Yao'er, talking and laughing, while Chu Yujia and Zhao Kuan walked behind.
Zhao Kuan sighed and said, "At the beginning, I thought those people were coming for you, but I didn't expect that they were coming for me. ”
"Hehe......"
Chu Yujia smiled and said: "That's your own stupidity, what am I saying, but you are still a courtier, even if you are favored, you may not be favored for a lifetime, after all, the crockpot is not broken from the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle, this is a truth that everyone understands, but ......"
Chu Yujia stopped, looked at Zhao Kuan beside him, and said, "There is something that must be put on the agenda......
Hearing this, Zhao Kuan narrowed his eyes, also stopped, looked straight at Chu Yujia, and said, "Is there such a hurry?"
"Late is ......"
Chu Yujia sighed and said, "If it drags on any further, I don't know what will happen, so this matter must be as soon as possible." ”
"Hmmm......"
Zhao Kuan nodded, raised his hand and patted Chu Yujia's shoulder and said, "What you want to do, as long as you think it's right, do it." ”
"Good ......"
Chu Yujia nodded, and just as he wanted to speak, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the darkness, blocking their way.
Chu Yujia glanced at the other party vigilantly, and subconsciously protected Zhao Kuan behind him, and the guards around him also stepped forward to surround the person when they saw this.
Zhao Kuan opened his mouth and shouted, "Who?"
Before he could think of it, the man suddenly became shorter, and this was kneeling down for him: "Master, I finally found you......"
Master?
The man arched his hand and said: "The master is very kind, I can't repay it, in the future, my life is the master's, even if the master lets me die, I will never complain......"
By the light of the torches around him, Chu Yujia finally saw the appearance of this person clearly, and then remembered that he had scavenged dozens of taels of silver from Zhao Kuan's body yesterday and gave it to a man who sold himself to bury his mother.
Chu Yujia chuckled, helped him up from the ground and said, "Is your mother buried?"
"It's already buried. ”
Zuo Jinkai said gratefully: "Thanks to the help of the master, Jin Kai was able to use a high-quality coffin to bury his mother." ”
"Don't call the master, it's not used to listening, if you don't dislike it, just call Yujia ......"
"Yujia?"
Zuo Jinkai was stunned for a moment, and then the look of surprise on his face overflowed, and he said, "You are General Chu Yu Jiachu?"
"Exactly. ”
Chu Yujia did not deny it, and said with a smile: "You said that your life is mine, but I don't think so, because in this world, everyone's life is their own, including the common people, if you don't dislike it, we will be brothers in the future......
Hearing this, the excited look in Zuo Jinkai's eyes became even stronger, he never expected that his benevolent father-in-law would be Chu Yujia, General Chu, who had recently become famous.
