King's Landing GL

Chapter 24 Red Dust Youth

Royal Study Room of the King's Palace of Chu

"I have met the King of Chu." I was wearing a luxurious black robe, with a very energetic hairstyle, standing very straight and elegant in front of the King of Chu.

It's late at night, and there are some things I'd rather discuss with the King of Chu alone.Because I am afraid that I will not be able to say what I have to say in the court tomorrow.

"The king of Qin is here?" Although the king of Chu is over half a hundred years old, he is still full of energy.His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Xiang Yao, but he is more familiar to me.

"I don't know if Wang Jun came to visit late at night, what's the matter?" Chu Wang's calm voice sounded first.

I calmly went forward and brewed two cups of tea, one for King Chu and one for myself.Then he took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"Chu's tea is still so delicious."

"If the king likes it, I will send someone to give it to the king alone." The king of Chu said quite sincerely.

I smiled:

"No merit and no reward."

"Oh? But Qin and Chu are already married, aren't they?"

"Does King Chu know which sect I belong to?" I asked with a smile.

"Ghost Valley Sect." King Chu said casually.

"That's the case, then the king said it directly. 18 years ago, the king of Chu lost his power to the people and took the throne of the former king..." I paused. Say, the king of Chu is probably also worried that someone will do the same thing as you in a hundred years, right? Now that Qin and Chu are married, there is no harm..."

The King of Chu's gaze stabbed at me like a sharp arrow, and my heart trembled: Damn it!As expected of a battle-tested veteran general.

"What does Wang Jun want to say?" King Chu asked me quietly.

I chuckled lightly:

"Qin and Chu were married, and Qin presented three cities as a token of friendship."

"So what?"

"But can the king of Chu imagine what the relationship between Qin and Chu would be like?" I asked.

I am making a bet that the king of Chu is old and tired of fighting.The current state of Chu is only strong on the outside and capable on the inside.Since the king of Chu conspired to become a queen 18 years ago, the state of Chu has been prosperous.But the King of Chu is now over 50 years old, and his years of fighting have made him look even older.The biggest dilemma of Chu State now is that it has no descendants.

It is also to blame that the king of Chu is an infatuated man who only loves his wife in his life.Unexpectedly, when the king of Chu conspired against him 18 years ago, he and his eldest son, whose wife was still in his arms, got separated during the war.From then on, his wife couldn't afford to be ill, and finally passed away in June after giving birth to Xiang Yao two years later.

It's a pity that the king of Chu and his wife have been loving for more than [-] years, but they can't grow old in the end.King Chu had only two heirs in his life, the eldest son was lost, and the second daughter is now Xiang Yao.And the current Crown Prince of Chu is just an adopted idiot.

There is no successor, which is the biggest dilemma of Chu State.

So I'm betting that the King of Chu knows the general knowledge and won't break off diplomatic relations with Qin.But at the same time, these things that were supposed to be state secrets were spoken out in front of the king of Chu by me, a scholar of the Jianghu.Even if I am the king of Qin, I'm not sure if the king of Chu will be cruel enough to kill me.

After all, this is related to the national destiny of Chu State.

I felt that the whole hall was as silent as death, and the king of Chu stared at my scalp numbly with cold eyes.I don't think King Chu is terrible, but subconsciously I don't want to treat King Chu like this.I know that the moment I step into the territory of Qin State, I will do many insincere things.I used to think that this world of mortals could not trap my youth, but in the later days, I finally began to compromise.

I don't think I'm kind, I think this is a world of the jungle.What I studied was the master of all schools of thought in Guigu Zongheng.Everything in the world is just a cloud to me-in theory, I should think so.

But I can't do it.So I put my sword down at 17 years old.Joining the WTO is an essential process for a Guigu disciple.Some disciples can achieve great enlightenment, while others are trapped in the world of mortals.

I thought I was the former, but then I found out I've always been the latter.

After a long silence, the King of Chu finally opened his mouth, but he said a seemingly insignificant sentence:

"If Gu is young, he will definitely live up to Chu."

"..."

Hearing this, I just exited the hall silently.

I'm not a saint, and I grieve what I do.Even if I win, I still feel uneasy.

I haven't seen the King of Chu since I left the Chu Palace in the middle of the night.I don't know what that man was thinking, but he told me his thoughts at the Eldest Princess' wedding ceremony ten days later:

"Chu, marry Qin. I wish to cultivate friendship together. Therefore, I donate three cities to express my heart..."

When I listened to the decree read by the eunuch, I looked up at the old man sitting on the throne.Well, he was looking back at me too.But his gaze was not as cold as it was ten nights ago, his gaze was soft——I thought I saw light.

I thought I knew a lot of things, I thought my unrestrained appearance could confuse many people.But I'm just an ordinary person after all.So I don't understand many things.

For example, when I left the Chu Palace that day, the person whom the Chu King summoned in the middle of the night was so related to my future fate.I thought that Murong Bai should be the last person I should trust, but I was so wrong.

"He's gone." King Chu said quietly to the corner in the darkness.

After a while, a handsome man walked out of the darkness.He has been a loose man all his life, yet he has such a serious expression on his face.

He walked behind the King of Chu, and made a salute as a teacher to the King of Chu.He whispered:

"Rufeng met senior brother."

"Senior brother..." King Chu repeated these two words, and said with some helplessness, "You are Guiguzi now, how can you call me, who was expelled from the school in the early years, a senior brother?"

"If there was no senior brother to rescue him that day, how could there be Rufeng?" Liu Rufeng said quietly.

"Yes...I saved you once..."

The king of Chu turned around and looked at the man who had been his junior brother many years ago.If he hadn't been greedy for power at that time, maybe Guiguzi should be him now, right?

"Seeing you like this, the master's spirit in heaven will be pleased, right?" King Chu said lightly.

Liu Rufeng did not speak.

Just listen to the king of Chu continue:

"It turns out that there really will be retribution. Because of this position... I lost my child, and I lost my wife."

Who ever thought about how guilty he was.In this life, what should one pursue?

Back then, as a member of the Guigu sect, he crossed his sword and went down the mountain to enter Chu.One general succeeds in ten thousand bones, and finally becomes a king.The world only looks at what he has gained, and only he himself knows what he has lost.

At that time, when I was young, I just wanted to show my ambitions, but in the end I lost myself.

Poor world.

Liu Rufeng didn't say anything, he could only quietly sigh with this man who was his senior brother.But who can accompany him...

The things he did, the mistakes he made.He can't even forgive himself.

Jian An, Jian An, do you know that there was once a person who betrayed his teacher and planned his whole life?

And he just wants you well.

I just want you.

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle.As soon as I close my eyes, I have been in Chu for almost a month. Although the King of Chu has decreed to reward the three cities of Qin more than ten days ago, my mission has been completed.But I still insisted on staying in Chu State to attend the wedding of Xiang Yao and Shan Hanfei.Now that the wedding banquet has passed for five days, it is time for me to find a day to return to Qin.

Mu San walked up behind me and said to me:

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law is here."

"Please." I said lightly.

Not long after, I saw Shan Hanfei, who is already the son-in-law of the state of Chu, walking towards me. She seemed to have no happy expression on her face after getting married. I frowned. Could it be this Shan Hanfei and Xiang Yao Are you in a relationship?Thinking about it carefully again, seeing Shan Hanfei's shameless attitude towards Xiang Yao, it should be impossible to have a disagreement.I think it should be Shan Hanfei with a head full of heat, right?

As soon as this thought came up, I suddenly felt a bitter feeling in my heart. —but I don't know why.

Shan Hanfei walked up to me, bowed to me and said:

"Zhong has never seen Your Majesty."

I nodded and said politely:

"coming?"

"Zhongwei heard that your lord is going back to the country, so I came to see you."

I waved my hand and dismissed the people, then said to Shan Hanfei:

"Okay, don't be so polite. It's just the two of us. You should call me Mr. "

Shan Hanfei smiled and said:

"Since Junshang is married to Wangshang, Zhongwei should be called Junshang."

I frowned dissatisfied:

"Stop pretending to me in front of me!"

Shan Hanfei laughed a few times, and I asked her when I saw this:

"Why, newlyweds, aren't you happy?"

She gave me a blank look, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone:

"Sir, you should still care about the matter between you and my sister Wang!"

Although what she said hit my sore spot, it still couldn't smooth my gossiping heart.

"I heard you slept on the floor on the wedding night?" I laughed.

I roared in my heart: Let you be taller than me!

Live it!

Shan Hanfei glared at me fiercely, but said very dejectedly:

"I feel like she doesn't like me..."

I said silently in my heart that other people are girls, do you think you are me and can attract girls?But he comforted her with his mouth:

"It's okay, it's okay, there will be a long time to come."

Shan Hanfei didn't say anything after hearing what I said, but took out a jade pendant from his bosom and said to me:

"This morning, she suddenly gave me this."

I disagreed and said:

"Oh......"

She handed me the jade pendant and said:

"Look at it, it looks very precious..."

I took the jade pendant and only glanced at it, then my heart started beating wildly, but I suppressed it and said calmly:

"It's just an ordinary jade pendant, it's not worth much. But you'd better take it if someone else gave it to you."

After hearing my words, Shan Hanfei quickly put the jade pendant into his arms and put it away.He laughed and asked me:

"When will the sir return to the capital?"

"Today and tomorrow."

"Did you tell King Chu?"

I nodded:

"I said it yesterday."

I also talked to Shan Hanfei about things, until she said that she wanted to go back to the princess mansion, but I didn't keep her.Seeing the happy face on her face as soon as she mentions the word "princess", I know that this kid is probably the one below.

Before leaving, I suddenly called her:

"Han Fei!"

"Sir?" She turned around, not knowing why.

"How is Xiang Yao treating you?"

Shan Hanfei's face froze, and he said with some embarrassment:

"Shang... still can..."

I smiled ambiguously:

"That's fine."

"Han Fei resigns."

After Shan Hanfei left, my pretended smile disappeared instantly, and I entered the study with a gloomy face, ordering my servants not to disturb me if anything happened.

This stay is just one afternoon.

Back Garden of Princess Chu's Mansion

"His Royal Highness." A man dressed in dark blue and wearing a bronze ghost mask said to Xiang Yao, whose back was turned to him.

"How is it going?" Xiang Yao asked.

"Back to the princess, the son-in-law has given the jade pendant to King Qin for identification." The man said in a deep voice.

"how?"

"Qin Wangjun is not different." The man replied.

"No difference?" Xiang Yao sneered, "Let me keep an eye on her! She will always show her flaws!"

"promise."

At night, the woods on the outskirts of Chu King's Capital

The quiet forest showed mottled silhouettes under the moonlight, a black figure flashed in the shadows, and then landed steadily in a clearing in the forest.A moment later, a sound like a wolf's howling came out of the woods.After a stick of incense, the figures of three people fell in the open space——Guigushan Intelligence Agency.

Zong Shiqi, who was wearing a white uniform of Guigu disciples, and the two disciples from the intelligence agency behind him saluted me as a master, and then said respectfully:

"Big Brother."

I took out the blueprint I drew in the afternoon from my pocket, handed it to Zong Shiqi, and said to him:

"Find out where this thing came from and who made it."

Zong Shiqi opened the drawing and looked at it, then raised his head and said solemnly:

"Big Brother..."

I stretched out my hand to stop what he was going to say, and ordered:

"Don't persuade me, find out! No matter how much you pay!"

For the first time, I was angry, and it wasn't because I suddenly belatedly understood that I was part of a conspiracy that was far beyond my reach.I'm angry that the person I trust the most may be the one who is pushing me to hell! - I don't want to believe that this happened to me.

Before today, what annoyed me was that Murong Bai didn't trust me. What annoyed me was Murong Wen in Murong Bai's heart.And after today, what annoys me is that the person I trust most is annoyed by my ignorance.

At the age of 17, I crossed the sword and went down the mountain. I thought that with my years of knowledge, even if I couldn't rule the world, I could at least ignore it.It is only now that I realize that every step I take may have been calculated by someone many years ago.

I have always been self-proclaimed, and I cannot accept the establishment of this guess.

My mind was in a mess, and I felt like I could know something, but couldn't think of anything.

"No." Zong Shiqi replied, then turned around and disappeared into the night with the other two disciples.

After Zong Shiqi left, I still stood where I was, just bent down to pick up a stone on the ground, and then hit a figure who wanted to leave in the darkness.

After hearing an exclamation, I sneered and walked towards that person, and when I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a man in black running clothes and a bronze ghost mask.

I sneered:

"Chu people?"

The man was trapped in place by my acupoints, unable to move or speak.

I reached out and took off the man's mask. Under the mask was a very disgusting face that had been burned beyond recognition.I can feel the sharpness of my voice myself - I've never been so angry:

"Who sent it?" I untied his dumb point and asked him.

He looked at me coldly and said nothing.

I chuckled lightly:

"Do not say?"

My hand slowly moved to his back, touched the fourth vertebra, and then crushed it hard. After hearing the man make a sound of pain that satisfied me, I opened my mouth again:

"Say."

"..."

The hand moved to the fifth vertebra, and after crushing it as before, the man fell to the ground, twitching from the pain.

I said lightly:

"Don't worry, you won't die. I have studied medicine and I am sensible. If you tell me what I want to know, I will set your bones. Otherwise, your result will be paralysis. In a month, you will enjoy this pain , every moment—and die.”

The man breathed weakly, he opened his mouth after hearing my words, I listened to him, and after hearing the answer I wanted, I pierced the silver needle into his heart.

"Since you are a medicine man, why bother to live." I stood up and said calmly to the man's corpse.

Under the moonlight, I am printed with a mottled silhouette, and the nameless fire in my heart is burning more and more intensely.I never thought I was kind, but I never did anything bad either.Why does everyone want to play with me in the palm of their hand? !

I squeezed the palm of my hand tightly. At that moment, my heart was full of anxiety and anger.

Ten days later, the imperial capital of Qin

Imperial study room

Murong Bai looked at Li Yi who couldn't afford to kneel, and for the first time she felt how contradictory she was.

"You said, the lord has not returned?" Murong Bai's voice was still faint, even after knowing that her husband took back the city for her without a single soldier, she did not show any sign of happiness.Similarly, when Li Yi told her after returning to Qin that her husband had left without saying goodbye ten days ago, she did not show any anger.

"Back to the king, yes."

"Go back."

"No." Li Yi resigned.

"Your Majesty..." After Li Yi left, Li Dequan, who was waiting to be served, said cautiously, "Your Majesty..."

"Wang Jun's body is exhausted, and he has moved to another place in the palace to recuperate. — Do you understand?"

"promise......"

Murong Bai squinted her eyes, she wanted to see what kind of trouble that person who was out of tune all day could do!

Ghost Valley Mountain Tongtian Peak

Su Yu kicked open Liu Rufeng's door, his murderous look made many Guigu disciples who came to watch the fun really excited again.Compared with Su Yu's menacing and masculine look, Liu Rufeng's handsome face with an apologetic smile looks very effeminate no matter what.

Su Yu said gloomyly:

"Willow, Ru, wind."

"Junior Sister...Junior Sister..." Liu Rufeng's kidneys started to tremble from fright, and he knew he was going to be in trouble.

Su Yu walked up to Liu Rufeng in a vicious manner, grabbed Liu Rufeng's collar and pulled him in front of him.Then she approached Liu Rufeng with her stunning and beautiful face that looked like a murderer at the moment, and asked with a cold air:

"Where is she."

Liu Rufeng was so frightened by Su Yu that he almost cried:

"I...I don't...know..."

Su Yu snorted coldly, and a moment later, Liu Rufeng's cry of killing a pig came from the room.The Guigu disciples who were outside to join in the fun worshiped Su Yu fiercely while feeling sorry for their master.

After a while, after getting a satisfactory answer, Su Yu kicked the door open again, and walked away.

All the Guigu disciples were accustomed to Su Yu's domineering appearance, and of course they didn't care about Liu Rufeng's life or death.He only heard Heng Si laughing and saying:

"Come on, come on, all the bettors will hand over their money. I said that the master is still no match for my master, right? Hahahahaha..."

And these words were heard by Liu Rufeng who had just got up from the ground, and he suddenly felt that he had been hit by an arrow in his knee.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know."

"not regret?"

"not regret."

"Then I will help you."

"..."

Palace of Longevity, Qin Palace

Murong Bai sat at the desk and read the book seriously, but a figure came in from the window, Murong Bai drew out his long sword and was about to attack, he heard the man laughing:

"Xin Ran, long time no see."

Murong Bai withdrew her long sword, her face was calm, she didn't miss me at all after being separated from me for two months, she still asked me in her toneless voice:

"came back?"

I nodded:

"came back."

I thought she would ask me why I left without saying goodbye for a month, and I was ready to be raped by her.But she neither asked nor raped me.He just sat down at the desk, opened the book, and asked calmly:

"Have you had lunch?"

"I ate on the way."

She nodded and put on a "don't disturb me" look.I thought about it, and this woman didn't show much interest in me on weekdays, and now it's unlikely that she would throw herself into my arms like a little woman to express how much she misses me. ——Of course, if she does this, I think she will tell me to die, and I will be fine.

It's not worth watching Murong Bai standing there, the main reason is that her cold body makes my kidneys uncomfortable.So I had to take some paper and pens on the desk and find a place, sit on the ground and start writing.

Murong Bai raised his head and glanced at the busy person sitting on the ground, although a hint of puzzlement flashed in his eyes, his mood improved inexplicably.

When I wrote this, when I wrote it, when I put down my pen and looked up to see the dark night sky outside the window, I suddenly realized that I was hungry.

very hungry.

I was about to open my mouth to summon the palace servants when Murong Bai behind me said:

"Dinner is here."

I turned my head, subconsciously looked at the food on her table, and then rushed towards her without any image.

When I was eating happily, I heard Murong Bai holding the things I wrote and asking me:

"This is......"

With food stuffed in my mouth, I said to her:

"The state of Qin...reformed...reform...uh...you see...is there...revised. ..... hiccup~"

"..." She nodded and looked at it seriously.

It took more than an hour to look at it, but she was serious.

She put down the paper in her hand when I took a shower and was ready to go to bed, turned her head, looked at me, and said calmly:

"good."

"..." After a few hours of writing, you replied me?

"...Thank you." It took me a long time to force these two words through my teeth.

"Tired?" she asked me, turning her head to look out the window.

I nodded, and remembered that she couldn't see, so I said:

"Ah."

"Well," she looked back at me, I almost thought she was concerned about me, but she said, "Go to bed."

"..."
