The look of fear on the servant's face suddenly turned into a look of surprise. Could it be that the king is really seriously ill?
Seeing that the chamberlain was a little stunned, Xiong Xin suddenly shouted: "Why don't you go quickly? Do you want to disobey the lonely king's order?"
The chamberlain quickly bowed and said, "You don't dare, I'll invite someone here right now." After saying that, he ran away from Xiong Xin's study.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the chamberlain led a scribe wearing a green shirt and a blue scarf to the door of the study and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the young commander has brought me here."
"Come in," Xiong Xin said calmly.
After half an hour of adjustment, Xiong Xin had already regained his composure. He carefully looked at the green-shirted scribe who walked into the study, and secretly thought: Who could have sent this person?
Zhaojing Qu Sanjia? No, if you are really from the three families, there is no need to contact you in this way.
People from the Xiang family? This is somewhat possible. In the Chu Palace, the Xiang family has many ears and eyes, and it seems that they are not bad at this.
Without waiting for Xiong Xin to ask, the visitor took the initiative to bow and salute, and said: "Lv Chen, a common man, pays homage to the King of Chu."
Xiong Xin stretched out his right hand and said across the void: "No need to be polite."
"I wonder what your intentions are when you come to the palace to ask for an audience with the lonely king?" Xiong thought for a moment, and it would be better to ask directly.
No matter who the other person is, if you want to continue the conversation, you must tell your story.
Lu Chen looked at the two chamberlains, the two palace maids, and the four guards behind Xiong Xin in the study. He considered it for a moment and said, "Can the King of Chu stay away from you? The common people want to talk to the King of Chu alone."
Without waiting for Xiong Xin to respond, the palace guard behind him took the lead and shouted: "Bold, how can we leave so easily when we are tasked with protecting King Chu?"
"You are just a wild man with unknown origins. Who knows if you have malicious intentions and want to follow the example of Li Zhuanzhu?"
When Lu Chen heard this, there was no trace of anger on his face, and he said with his usual expression: "I do have important matters that I need to talk to the King of Chu alone. If the King of Chu feels that I am a threat to you, I can have your Dantian and meridians sealed.
"
"If the King of Chu feels that this is not enough, I will turn around and leave now. I just hope that the King of Chu will not regret it."
Xiong Xin looked at Lu Chen's bottomless eyes, and his whole body was suddenly touched. He decisively ordered: "Come here, seal his cultivation as he said. The lonely king wants to have a few words with him alone."
One of the guards couldn't help but admonished: "Your Majesty, the opponent is a sixth-grade warrior, and I don't know how many acupuncture points have been condensed. Once an acupuncture point is not sealed, some of the strength will be retained. It is too dangerous for Your Majesty to contact him alone.
Already."
Xiong Xin waved his hand and said: "Do as King Gu said. Your intuition tells King Gu that he has no ill intentions."
"Besides, although King Gu is the King of Chu, the backbone of the Chu State is Lord Wu Xin. Even if he is assassinated, the Chu State will not be greatly affected. You don't have to worry."
"But..." The guard wanted to persuade him again.
A hint of anger appeared on Xiong Xin's face, and he interrupted rudely: "You can't wait for the ministers of the Chu Kingdom, but you repeatedly refuse the orders of the King of Chu. Do you still have the King of Chu in your eyes?"
The guards' expressions changed greatly, and they all knelt down: "I don't dare."
Xiong Xin just looked at them coldly. At this moment, the fourteen-year-old boy was full of the majesty of a king.
"Do as the lonely king did, seal his cultivation as much as possible, and then stand guard at the door, ready to come over and protect him at any time."
The guard was relieved and stepped forward to seal Lu Chen's Dantian and main meridians.
As for the acupuncture points, only some of them were sealed at will. As for whether they were all sealed, the guard could only say: "It's just a matter of doing one's best and obeying fate."
Before leaving, the guard glared at Lu Chen fiercely, as if to warn him not to act rashly.
When all the people in the study left and the door was closed, Xiong Xin said calmly: "Tell me, what exactly is it that needs to be said to the lonely king alone?"
Lu Chen said slowly and calmly: "Does the King of Chu know that he is in great danger and will die an untimely death soon?"
As soon as he came up, Lu Chen gave Xiong Xin a common threat when countries were fighting.
Xiong Xin's expression didn't change much when he heard this, but he said calmly: "Oh, why is this happening?"
When Song Yi was still here, Xiong Xin had thought about this outcome countless times and had already been mentally prepared for it. Therefore, he didn't feel too much after hearing it from Lu Chen.
On the other hand, Lu Chen's eyes were bright and the admiration on his face was undisguised. From the moment he came in, he was sizing up Xiong Xin.
In his opinion, Xiong Xin's performance can be described in only four words: "Hegemony."
This kind of person, as long as he is given a chance, will definitely become the overlord of his generation.
It seems that I have come to the Chu Kingdom at the right time. I can assist a generation of overlords, and I think I can leave a strong mark in the history of the country.
In front of a smart man like Xiong Xin, Lu Chen did not intend to beat around the bush, but said directly: "The master is weak and the ministers are strong. The people of Chu only know that there are items but not bears. Isn't it possible that the King of Chu is not aware of the crisis?"
Xiong Xin's eyes moved, pretending to be angry: "So you want to separate King Gu and Lord Wu Xin. Are you a spy of the Qin State? King Gu is here to tell you clearly that the Xiang family is loyal and will never murder King Gu.
"
The admiration on Lu Chen's face became even stronger. Yes, that's it. He was obviously very jealous of the Xiang family, but he still showed the closeness between the two.
If he can be allowed to grow, his future will definitely be limitless.
It's just that the behavior of wooing the three families of Zhaojing and Qu was too hasty. Fortunately, he came and was able to eliminate this weakness.
"There is no need to test you, King Chu. I am not a spy from the Qin State, nor am I sent by the Xiang family to test you. To be precise, I am here to seek refuge with your Majesty."
Lu Chen said with a sincere face.
Xiong Xin stared at the green-shirted scribe standing in front of him, thinking, could he really come to seek refuge with him?
Lu Chen, who didn't get a response from Xiong Xin, sighed slightly and said, "If I am a spy from the Qin State, the King of Chu should have lost his head by now."
"As for the people of the Xiang family, the King of Chu also thinks too much. Does the King of Chu think that the Xiang family really pays attention to you? As long as he pays some attention to you, General Song Yi will not die."
Hearing Lu Chen mention Song Yi, Xiong Xin's blood suddenly boiled and he shouted: "Shut up."
However, Lu Chen did not stop and said to himself: "Although you are the king of Chu, you have nothing except your life and a nominal throne."
"Now that you can sit safely in the position of King of Chu, it's just that the Xiang family is not ready to usurp power and ascend to the throne. The day when the Xiang family takes full control of the Chu Kingdom will be the day of your death."
"Fight hard, or sit back and wait for death. I hope you can make the right decision."
Lu Chen's words kept impacting Xiong Xin's heart.
After the word "Song Yi" appeared, Xiong Xin's strong heart suddenly had a loophole, and Lu Chen also had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
After being silent for a while, Xiong Xin, with red eyes, said hoarsely: "In your opinion, what should the lonely king do?"
Lu Chen said without thinking: "The top priority is that the king should first find a way to protect himself. Only by protecting himself can he have a chance to stand up."
A look of confusion appeared on Xiong Xin's face and he said, "Has the situation deteriorated to this point?"
Lu Chen sighed and said: "It's not just ruined, it's extremely dangerous. This is because Xiang Ji led the army and was not in Kuaiji. If Xiang Ji returns with victory, the king will be in even more danger."
Xiong Xin was slightly startled. Seeing that Lu Chen's expression didn't seem to be fake, he bowed and said, "Sir, please give me some advice."
Lu Chen didn't seem to hear it, and instead became silent.
Xiong Xin waited for a long time, but before Lu Chen could speak, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what do you mean?"
I saw a melancholy look on Lu Chen's face: "As the saying goes, the name is not justified and the words are not true. I am devoted to planning for the king, but I am a little worried that the king will doubt this commoner in the end."
Lu Chen deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "caomin".
Why couldn't Xiong Xin hear Lu Chen's hidden meaning? Instead of being angry, he showed a knowing smile and said, "I want an official position. If Lu Chen really has no desires or demands, Xiong Xin really doesn't dare to use him."
"The lonely king would like to worship you as his disciple. At critical moments, you can give orders on his behalf. What do you think, sir?"
