Chapter seven hundred and sixteen temptation and win over
"Xuan, the great general who put down the rebellion, has an audience with the Marquis of Sishui, Han Xin."
Han Xin, who was gentle and elegant, with a face like a crown jewel, was dressed in a black gold silk marquis uniform. He walked into the Yangxin Hall without haste and made a meticulous salute to Hu Hai: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Hu Hai straightened his body slightly, stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Sit down without any courtesy."
After hearing this, Han Xin stood up and stood aside, lowering his head slightly and lowering his eyebrows, waiting for Hu Hai's instructions.
Xu was from a military background, and even though Han Xin had his head lowered, his slender figure stood tall and straight, making him look heroic.
Hu Hai became more and more happy as he watched. He couldn't help but tell the little eunuch beside him: "Come here, give the Marquis of Sishui a seat."
When Han Xin heard this, he raised his head slightly, with a look of surprise on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then bowed: "I thank your Majesty for sitting down."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch was ordered to bring a grand master's chair and place it behind Han Xin.
"You're welcome, Marquis of Surabaya, please take a seat."
Hu Hai waved his hand, trying to show his pride.
Han Xin smiled slightly, pressed half of his buttocks on the Taishi chair, straightened up, and sat upright.
Suddenly, a trace of nostalgia appeared on Hu Hai's face: "How many years have the Marquis of Sishui followed me?"
Han Xin pretended to think for a while and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, it has been fifteen years since I took refuge with your Majesty."
"Fifteen years?" Hu Hai repeated with a hint of melancholy, "Have you ever felt aggrieved after following me for so many years?"
Han Xin quickly stood up from his chair, bowed and replied: "I owe everything to your Majesty for your support. Being a prince and becoming a prime minister is a man's lifelong dream. If this is still aggrieved, most people in the world should hang themselves."
Committed suicide."
Hu Hai laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "What the Marquis of Sishui said is reasonable. I like to hear it. Don't stand here. Sit down. Today you and I, the king and my ministers, will have a good chat."
"Come here, bring me some fruits and snacks. Don't let the Hougan of Surabaya sit down."
Han Xin bowed again and sat down as instructed.
When the melon and fruit snacks were served, Hu Hai said with a smile: "Does the Marquis of Surabaya have anything to say to me?"
Han Xin's eyes flashed, and he replied with a smile: "I have been traveling outside to fight the rebellion in the past few years. Does your Majesty want to know about the fight against the rebellion?"
Hu Hai's expression froze and he shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk about this today. The Marquis of Sishui can talk about something else."
"I wonder what your Majesty wants to hear? I will try my best to satisfy your Majesty."
Hu Hai pretended to be calm and said: "We are all warriors, why not talk about martial arts?"
"I obey," Han Xin said with an official and polite smile on his face.
Hu Hai felt a hint of joy in his heart and asked: "The Marquis of Sishui has been promoted to the Grand Master level at a young age. Can you share your experience?"
He seemed to feel that his words contained the intention of inquiring into the truth. In order to avoid Han Xin's misunderstanding, Hu Hai added: "If the Marquis of Surabaya feels inconvenient to disclose it, he can refuse to answer."
Han Xin smiled gently and said: "Since your Majesty wants to hear it, as a minister, how can you be so precious to yourself? It's just some experience. What does it mean to tell your Majesty?"
"After I was promoted to the Grand Master realm, I briefly compiled a few points and shared them with Your Majesty. Are you ready?"
When Hu Hai heard this, he was a little stunned. Han Xin was actually willing to share his experience, which was unexpected by him.
"The Marquis of Surabaya is free to do as he pleases, I am listening."
Now that the matter has come to this, Hu Hai naturally will not refuse and goes with the flow.
Han Xin coughed lightly, straightened his voice and said, "Weichen summarized three major points..."
Half an hour later, while Han Xin was still talking, Hu Hai was already a little sleepy and his eyelids were drooping.
This cannot be blamed on Hu Hai. Anyone who has been listening to this kind of cultivation experience that is not nutritious and whose tone is consistent throughout will probably feel sleepy.
Han Xin didn't seem to realize that Hu Hai was distracted, or maybe he did, but he didn't expose it in order to save some face for Hu Hai.
Anyway, Hu Hai didn't call for a stop, and Han Xin didn't intend to stop either. As for how his experience changed from three to thirty, Han Xin himself was a little confused.
"Dang", a bell sounded, and Hu Hai immediately woke up from the chaos and looked outside the hall.
I saw Huang Banban and two young eunuchs stepping into the Yangxin Hall, bowing and saluting: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."
A trace of surprise appeared on Hu Hai's face: "Is it time to have lunch so soon?"
Without waiting for Huang Banban's answer, Hu Hai glanced at Han Xin and quickly changed his words with lingering fear: "Since it's time, we'd better eat first."
Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face remained calm as he stood up and said: "Since your Majesty is ready to have a meal, I will take my leave first."
Hu Hai said quickly: "Wait a minute, the Marquis of Sishui has been chatting with me for a long time. Now that it's time for lunch, why not stay and have a meal together?"
Just when Han Xin was about to refuse, he heard Hu Hai say slightly displeasedly: "Is it possible that the Marquis of Sishui doesn't want to give me this face?"
Han Xin smiled bitterly in his heart: "I don't dare."
Hu Hai smiled and said: "In that case, what are you waiting for, Marquis of Sishui? Come and have dinner with me."
After saying that, Hu Hai walked down the steps, pulled Han Xin forward and entered the side hall. At the same time, he ordered Huang Banban: "Ask the imperial kitchen to bring all the food here."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Hu Hai placed a table in front of Han Xin full of food and fine wine filled with the vitality of heaven and earth.
After eating for a while, Hu Hai suddenly asked casually: "How high does the Marquis of Sishui think you can rank in the world with your martial arts skills?"
Han Xin replied without hesitation: "If we count warriors, we can probably rank in the top thirty."
Hu Hai asked with slight surprise: "Is it so low? Is the Marquis of Sishui too modest? Are there so many strong people in the world?"
"As far as I know, there are not so many powerful masters in the world. I wonder why the Marquis of Sishui said this?"
Han Xin thought for a while and said: "I am fortunate enough to have seen a sixth-grade warrior go back and attack the grandmaster and win the battle."
Hu Hai looked shocked when he heard this: "How could there be such a miraculous person in the world?"
Han Xin just smiled and said nothing.
The atmosphere is a bit down.
Suddenly Hu Hai casually mentioned: "How does the martial arts of the Marquis of Sishui compare with that of the Champion Marquis?"
Han Xin's heart suddenly twitched, and he said firmly: "Wei Chen probably can't even beat the champion with one finger. The gap between the two is unreachable."
Hu Hai couldn't help but wonder: "Is the gap really that big?"
Han Xin nodded with a sure look on his face.
After thinking for a while, Hu Hai continued to ask: "I heard that the Marquis of Sishui is a descendant of the military family. He is good at making military formations and can fight across the ranks."
"I wonder if the Marquis of Surabaya can fight against the Champion Marquis if he joins the army?"
Han Xin didn't even think about it and replied directly: "The champion is invincible, and the humble minister can't do anything even if he has a million troops at his disposal."
"The champion's martial arts skills are quite high. Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Come and have a glass of wine with me."
Half an hour later, Hu Hai condescended and sent Han Xin out of the Yangxin Hall.
After Han Xin left Xianyang Palace, he went directly to his residence.
After returning to the Houfu, Han Xin rushed into his study and ordered that no outsiders should be disturbed. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be severely punished.
After a while, Han Xin changed his clothes, left the Houfu under cover, and disappeared.
…
In the Champion House, Lin Ze was holding a book and reading it with gusto.
Suddenly, Lin Ze frowned slightly and said to the side: "Come out, don't hide."
Han Xin, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in front of Lin Ze, bowed and said: "Meet the military advisor."
Lin Ze put down the book in his hand and said casually: "Han Xin, you suddenly ran over secretly, what's the matter?"
"Sit down and speak slowly."
Han Xin unceremoniously drew a chair over and sat on it.
"I came here to disturb the military advisor today just to remind the military advisor that your majesty may be very suspicious of the military advisor. Please be more careful."
Lin Ze smiled and said without comment: "How do you know?"
Han Xin said without hesitation: "His Majesty summoned me today and we had a meal with him. During this period, he kept inquiring about the military advisor. It seemed that he had some evil intentions."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Maybe it's not that exaggerated, just a casual chat to express my concern for you old members."
Han Xin shook his head slightly: "In terms of closeness, Zhang Han, Li Xin, and Yu Ziqi are all above me."
"But Zhang Han, Li Xin, and Yu Ziqi have been back to Chang'an for several days, but have they been summoned alone?"
