It was already the next morning when Tong Sui woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a somewhat familiar room, and he sat up and recalled it.

He actually slept in Rong Jin's bed all night.

Where did Rong Jin go?

Before he could figure it out, Xiao Shunzi's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, are you up? It's almost morning time."

Tong Sui can only change his clothes first and go to court.

He sat on the dragon chair and absently listened to the reports of those ministers, but what happened in his mind was what happened yesterday, whether it was a further change in the relationship between the two of them.

So after the dynasty was over, Tong Sui hurried back to the Zhifang behind the Supervisor of Rituals.

Rong Jin's room was tightly closed.

There were two guards standing in front of the door, and they quickly saluted after seeing Tong Sui, "Your Majesty, the governor is feeling a little unwell today, please tell us that we will not see anyone if it is not something very important."

"Unwell? What's wrong with him?"

Tong Sui couldn't help but look inside, but the doors and windows of the room were closed, and it was quiet inside, so it was impossible to see what was going on.

"Do you want to see the doctor again?"

The guard said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the governor is just suffering from an ordinary old disease, and he will recover after a short rest."

Tong Sui resisted the urge to go in, frowned and hummed, "Then I won't disturb his rest, if there is any situation, you should inform me as soon as possible, remember?"

Guard, "Humble duty, remember."

Only then did Tong Sui turn around and leave.

After listening to the sound outside, the guard raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Master Governor, Your Majesty is gone."

"Understood, you go down."

Rong Jin's voice came from inside, it sounded the same as usual.

Rong Jin was leaning against the bed, his face was a little more tired than usual, the faint blue in his eyes showed that he didn't have a good rest last night.

But not to the point of being sick.

It was just an excuse to get Tong Sui away.

He really didn't know how to deal with Tong Sui.

As long as he closed his eyes last night, Rong Jin would think of the lingering medicinal bath smell mixed with the faint fishy smell in the room, the slight resistance when the warm water flowed over his fingers, and...

Rong Jin rubbed his brows wearily.

Now that Tong Sui can handle those affairs independently, he can also take a little vacation, maybe after a period of time away, this weird feeling will gradually fade away.

Tong Sui didn't see Rong Jin for several days in a row, and every time the guards at the door used similar excuses to block him back.

In addition to this making him a little annoyed, there are still piles of memorials that need his approval.

The Chu Dynasty was a cabinet system, and there was no setting for the prime minister to share the burden.This also led to a large number of things waiting for him every day, large and small.

Tong Sui felt that sooner or later he would die of exhaustion on this dragon chair.

However, human beings are very adaptable. Tong Sui gradually adapted to this rhythm after countless times of wanting to give up and persisting.

this day.

Tong Sui saw the report of the envoy, saying that Choros, the leader of Wala, would pay tribute in the near future.

He frowned when he saw it.

This Chuoros is the leader who will use tens of thousands of troops to defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chu Dynasty in the original plot.

Not only that, he also captured the emperor alive, and led his army to approach Capital City, a ruthless man who almost wiped out the entire dynasty.

I didn't expect time to pass so fast, and will start to enter this plot soon.

But at this time, there is still a year before the start of the official war.

Chuoros's tribute this time also belongs to the normal process every year.

Tong Sui wrote a word on the paper, "Quite."

Ten days later, several tall men were kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The clothes they wore were different from those of the people of this dynasty, and the leader was a black-skinned man in his early twenties.

He is the leader of Oara, Chuoros.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Shunzi presented the roster of tribute, "You have a look."

Tong Sui glanced at the long list of tributes. There were a lot of cattle, sheep and horses. It could be seen that the tribute was very sincere.

He closed the roster.

"Come on, everyone. It's been a long and hard journey. I have already ordered someone to hold a banquet in Changchun Garden to entertain you all."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality."

Chuoros stood up as he spoke, his tall figure stood up like a hill, his complexion was a shiny wheat color, and his muscles were firm and full.

He looked at the awe that he did not have as a courtier when he was a child, like a falcon flying on the grassland, staring at its prey sharply.

Tong Sui was not afraid that he would dare to mess around in his own territory, but he still felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by such eyes, and reminded him aloud: "Choros, do you have any opinion on me?"

"It's my honor that Your Majesty actually remembers the name of this humble minister," Chuoros said with a smile, "I just didn't expect His Majesty to be such a handsome young man today. Please forgive me for your momentary gaffe."

Tong Sui turned over Byakugan in his heart.

If possible, he really wanted to give him two punches in the face.

But he still kept a smile on his face, "I don't mean to blame you."

At the banquet in the Changchun Garden, Tong Sui was a ruthless socializing machine, and raised the wine glass in his hand, "Drink with everyone today, and I hope that the Chu Dynasty and Wala will have a good relationship and prosperity for generations."

After speaking, he took a sip from his wine glass.

Chuoros raised his eyebrows and said: "The Chu Dynasty is vast in land and resources, and a great country. Your Majesty, it is a bit too stingy for you to just take a sip."

Tong Sui: "..."

This person is really too difficult to deal with.

But he couldn't beat or scold, otherwise he would have given the group of guys who were already eyeing him a chance to make trouble.

Tong Sui twitched the corners of his mouth, endured the pungentness of the wine, drank the rest of the wine in the glass, then bent over and coughed fiercely, his snow-white face turned red from coughing.

He slowed down for a while, turned the cup upside down and it was empty, "Satisfied?"

"Your Majesty is so refreshing," Chuoros said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he boldly took the jug, poured himself a bowl full of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Tong Sui: "..."

This guy can drink too much.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Chuoros seemed to be fine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and beckoned someone to bring a box.

"Your Majesty, this is a precious medicinal material unique to Valari. It only grows on the top of the snow-capped mountains. It is rare in quantity. After taking it, it can nourish the deficiency and prolong life."

Xiao Shunzi quickly took the box and handed it to Tong Sui.

Although Tong Sui didn't know what it was, but being able to take it out by Chuoros alone showed that it was precious enough, and don't know if the effect was as exaggerated as he said.

Tong Sui was thinking, when he saw that guy raised his glass again.

"Your Majesty, please?"

"..." Tong Sui could only pick up the wine glass, "Please."

Chuoros used various excuses to drink several glasses of wine one night, and his cheeks turned completely red, and he refused to drink any more.

Choros looked at Prince whose mouth and cheeks were flushed, propped his cheeks, and stared at his face with interest.

In fact, he had noticed from the very beginning that although the young Prince tried his best to put on an enthusiastic appearance, there was still disgust and impatience towards him in his eyes.

So he purposely poured alcohol on people with bad intentions, but he didn't expect the drunk Prince to be cute in a different way.

Choros raised the corner of his mouth.

He originally made this trip in person to discuss with the emperor about marrying a princess to their tribe, as a way of making peace to ensure the peace of both parties.

But suddenly he didn't want to do it anymore.

Chuoros said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for a long time, why hasn't the harem been filled? How can it be done without someone around to serve you?"

Tong Sui was a little drunk at the moment, but he didn't forget that he was in front of a difficult poisonous snake, glaring at him and said: "You are so brave, do you even want to take care of my private affairs?"

"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong," Chuoros propped his chin up, smiling and showing a row of neat teeth, "I just heard that His Majesty doesn't like women, why don't you marry me, and you can keep the peace of Chu Dynasty and Oala forever."

"boom"

With a blushing face, Tong Sui knocked off the cup on the table, smashing it to pieces.

He glared at him angrily with watery eyes, and said angrily: "Choros, today I will treat you as if you were drinking too much and talking nonsense, so let's forgive you this time!"

As he said that, he left with a flick of his sleeves. Chuoros smiled with great interest, raised his head and drank the wine at the bottom of the bowl, and suddenly felt that this trip was really worth it.

Tong Sui was a little dizzy from the anger of this rebellious official and traitor, and even the road was a little unsteady due to the effect of alcohol, but fortunately Xiao Shunzi quickly caught up and ordered someone to bring up his step.

"Be careful, Your Majesty."

Tong Sui had already scolded Chuoros countless times in his heart, and sat weakly on the step, his cheeks were completely red.

Xiao Shunzi was still holding the box just now, Tong Sui glanced at it and said: "I can just go back by myself, you send this thing to the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

"yes."

Although Rong Jin has not interfered in the government affairs during this period, he has minions and intelligence organizations all over the place, and everything is hidden under his eyes.

He looked at the brocade box delivered on the table and knew that it was a rare tribute, but Tong Sui sent them all to him.

A slight ripple appeared in Rong Jin's heart, any gold, silver and jewels that were usually donated by others did not make him happy this time.

He said, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty was drunk a lot by the leader of the Nawala tribe, so he went back to rest first."

Rong Jin narrowed his eyes.

Those tribes were all driven out of the Central Plains back then, and they were killed without the power to fight back.

Where is it their turn to come to their own territory to run wild.

Early the next morning.

Tong Sui struggled to get up from the bed, because yesterday's wine made him still a little dizzy, but he had to clean up and go to court.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the house.

Xiao Shunzi said through the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Governor please see me."

Tong Sui hurriedly got up to change his clothes, and said, "Let him in quickly."

After a while, the white figure appeared at the door.

After changing his clothes, Tong Sui hurried up to greet him, looked Rong Jin up and down, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body, and his complexion looked good.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better," Rong Jin said, "How are your Majesty these days?"

"not good."

Simply not good at all.

Tong Sui said: "You left everything to me, are you trying to exhaust me to death?"

"But Your Majesty did a great job, didn't you?" Rong Jin said, "Then the court is over, and I'll show you something interesting."

Tong Sui snorted, "You can watch anything, but you can't avoid me next time."

Rong Jin smiled but did not answer.

After the court was over, Tong Sui followed Rong Jin all the way to an attic where he had never been before.

"What are we doing here?"

Looking around at Tong Sui, this is just an ordinary attic.

"Your Majesty, look down."

Tong Sui looked in his direction, and a circular field was surrounded by a fence not far away, and there was a huge iron cage inside, and a black cloth was used to cover the outside to make it impossible to see what was inside.

On the other side stood Choros whom he had just met yesterday.

What is this for?

The attendant who was standing outside the iron cage suddenly lifted the cloth covering the iron cage, and a sturdy tiger came into view.

It seemed to be very hungry, and it banged loudly in the iron cage. When it saw the person in front of it, it opened its sharp fangs, and the roar shook Tong Sui's ears.

Rong Jin said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I heard that various competitions are often held in the Wala tribe, and I wonder if he can beat this big bug."

He raised the volume slightly.

"Choros, you should be happy to perform."

Chuoros looked at the iron cage in front of him, his face sank.

When he was in the tribe, he heard that there was a ruthless eunuch in the Chu Dynasty who controlled the government, and he was always defiant because of his power.

But he didn't expect Rong Jin to be so ruthless.

No matter what he said, he was also a dignified leader, yet he dared to treat him like a monkey.

Seeing that he was silent, Rong Jin said, "Choros, don't you want to?"

Chuoros pursed his lips bluntly, "The minister is naturally extremely happy."

Rong Jin raised his chin.

The entourage beside the iron cage opened the cage, and the tiger rushed out impatiently, pounced on Chuoros who was facing him, completely treating him as his own meal.

Tong Sui was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, waited quietly for a while, and opened his eyes slowly when he didn't smell the bloody smell as he imagined.

Chuoros in the Colosseum was thrown to the ground, and in time, he used the iron chain around the tiger's neck to stop its stinky mouth, raised his legs, and kicked the tiger's abdomen with all his strength.

Only the tiger let out a deep roar of pain, obviously this blow was very heavy.

Chuoros rolled out twice neatly, stood up with support, took off the obstructing robe, exposed his strong upper body and took a few deep breaths.

"Your Majesty, you can open your eyes and take a good look."

As he said that, he rushed towards the tiger. Following his various skilled fighting movements, the muscles on his body also rose and fell, stained with sweat and glowing beautifully.

It has a wild beauty.

Rong Jin narrowed his eyes, turned his head calmly to observe Tong Sui's expression, and found that he was watching everything that happened in the Colosseum intently.

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty likes his type?"

Tong Sui's attention was attracted by the tense scene, when he suddenly heard Rong Jin's words, he didn't realize what he said for a while, and said "ah" slowly.

Rong Jin said: "Is Your Majesty worried about him? Because I treat him like this, isn't it very vicious?"

Tong Sui came to his senses now and shook his head quickly.

"I just think that if something happens to him, it will be difficult to explain to Wala."

Rong Jin laughed.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful."

It's just an excuse to be afraid of being a barbaric tribe.

He raised his hand, "Okay."

Several attendants hurried forward and pulled the iron chain, and drove the tiger into the cage with a whip.

Rong Jin then stood up, "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I'm going back first."

"what?"

Tong Sui also stood up, "Whatever feels uncomfortable, let the imperial doctor come over and take a look."

"No, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

Tong Sui stood on the spot and looked at the back of Rong Jin leaving in a hurry, and said to the system in the sea of consciousness: I thought it was my illusion before, but now I am sure that he is avoiding me.

System: "Kacha Kacha——"

Tong Sui: Did I do something wrong just now?

System: "Kacha Kacha——"

Tong Sui frowned, ridiculed in dissatisfaction: What the hell is your voice?

The system said: "Would you like some electronic potato chips? I recently upgraded the taste function."

Tong Sui: "..."

Thank you, but don't use it anymore.

"His Majesty."

Tong Sui turned his head when he heard the voice, and Chuoros looked up at him, with the sand and blood stained on his body from the fight just now, he smiled and said: "There is no one, you still look at him, do you like him?"what."

Tong Sui glared at him lightly, "You talk too much nonsense."

He left after leaving this sentence.

The smile on the corner of Chuoros' mouth became more obvious, and he whispered: "It's really interesting..."

After returning to the room, Rong Jin sat quietly by the bed, and after calming down for a while, he realized that he was once again standing on the verge of losing control.

How could he be so impulsive.

Tong Sui is no longer the kid who was with him back then, but the current emperor with supreme power.

Rong Jin slowly raised his head and covered his heart, recalling that the emotions gushing out from here just now filled his chest cavity, like biting a sour fruit.

why.

Why did he feel uncomfortable seeing Tong Sui caring about others?

Rong Jin stretched out his hand and tore off the strap of his robe, the clothes fell down and piled up at his feet, he walked to the dowry and looked at his body in the mirror.

Weak, sick, deformed.

Who would like something that even feels disgusting after seeing it.

After Chuoros returned to the tribe, Tongsui began to prepare for the war.

He made a special trip to the barracks.

The Chu Dynasty had a very special team, the Shenji Battalion.

The firecrackers used in this team are nothing in the eyes of modern technology, but in the era of cold weapons, they can hit everything.

It’s just that hot weapons such as firecrackers are not in line with tradition. In formal battles, the focus is still on infantry and cavalry. The Shenji Battalion has always been excluded.

When Gu Yuchen heard the news that Tong Sui had come to Shenji Camp, he rushed to greet him.

in the tent.

Gu Yuchen saluted respectfully, "Long live Your Majesty."

Tong Sui looked at him, Gu Yuchen, who had recovered from his injuries long ago, was completely different from the person he saw that day, with a strong physique like a sharp spear.

If you want to say which one looks more comfortable, he or Chuoros, it is definitely Gu Yuchen, because he is his own.

"Sit down," Tong Sui said, "How about it, are you still used to this position?"

"fine."

At least better than the damned place.

Gu Yuchen looked at the young man in front of him. He originally thought that this Prince would play some tricks, but he did not expect that he would indeed be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War after that day, and after observing this period of time, he found that he was narrow-minded.

Under the pressure of various forces, Tong Sui has implemented various measures that are conducive to the development of people's livelihood. No matter how you evaluate it, he is a rare wise king.

To say the only thing he can't understand...

It's impossible for Tong Sui not to see that Rong Jin is using him, and instead of staying away, he really seems to regard treacherous ministers like Rong Jin as his confidants.

Tong Sui said: "I'm here to urge you to strengthen the various firearms training in the Shenji Battalion. I will come here often to check the training results."

Gu Yuchen said: "Your Majesty does not know, but the firearms in the Shenji Battalion are not very effective in actual combat."

"Then improve it," Tong Sui said, "If you can't do it, I will consider replacing it."

Gu Yuchen knew from his tone that Tong Sui insisted on advancing this matter, so he nodded, "Understood, I won't let you think that I was released for nothing."

Tong Sui hummed, and when he got up to leave, Gu Yuchen suddenly called out from behind.

"But I also want to remind you," Gu Yuchen said, "Rong Jin is not a good person, if you don't think of a way not to bring him down, you will live under his control forever."

"Gu Yuchen." Tong Sui looked at him with a stern face, "This is not something you have to deal with, it's enough to be yourself."

He said angrily and left.

When Tong Sui returned to the palace, he first went to the Supervisor of Rituals where Rong Jin was, only seeing the other eunuchs, and the place where Rong Jin usually sat was empty.

"Your Majesty, the Governor is not here, so just talk to the servant if you have anything to say."

Tong Sui said: "No need."

I don't know how many times, Rong Jin not only avoids him, but even transfers to him the affairs that were in his hands before.

Tong Sui was a little angry and aggrieved by his evasive attitude, but because of his identity, he had no choice but to force Rong Jin to change his attitude, so he could only return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to continue processing the remaining memorials.

A year passed in a blink of an eye, and the cavalry led by Chuoros repeatedly provoked and violated the country's borders.

According to the original plot, the emperor's imperial conquest led an army of hundreds of thousands, directly crushing the tens of thousands of Oala in terms of numbers, and it was impossible to lose with his eyes closed.

But the final result was that the Chu army not only lost, but also lost in a mess. Almost the army was wiped out and the emperor was captured alive.

It was simply a shameful battle that refreshed history.

Before Tong Sui's personal expedition this time, he deliberately incorporated the Shenji Battalion into the compilation. After a whole year of improvement, although it can't reach the level of modern weapons, it is already an existence that defies the sky.

But he didn't dare to be careless.

Before the expedition, someone sent a secret edict to Chu Yunyu, who was in the fief, and Gu Yuchen, who was stationed in Beijing.

In this way, even if it really followed the powerful plot line and the Chu army failed, no one would dare to touch Rong Jin.

When Rong Jin knew that Tong Sui was going to fight in person, his heart was flustered, but he quickly calmed down again.

War is just a very common thing.

Wala is a border tribe with a small number of people. The Chu army is stronger in terms of numbers and armaments. The so-called emperor's personal conquest is just to boost morale.

Nothing can go wrong.

He stood on the city wall and watched the mighty team leave the capital. Compared with war, Rong Jin needed to act as an agent during Tong Sui's absence to stabilize the court.

As a result, the frightening low pressure returned to the early morning every day.

Rong Jin seemed to be in a bad mood during this time.

Everyone reported with trepidation, for fear of being attacked by Rong Jin.

Fortunately, things were pretty much the same as Rong Jin expected, good news came from the border every day.

The Chu army defeated Wala.

Among them, the firearms of Shenjiying played a role that cannot be underestimated.

Counting the days, the teacher should be able to return to court soon.

this day.

Rong Jin received a new letter from Qianli Express, and Feng Yongchang smiled beside him and said, "Master Governor, Your Majesty is worthy of being selected by you, and he beat those people to death—"

"Patter."

The bamboo tube in Rong Jin's hand fell to the ground, and his whole body fell backward like a kite whose string suddenly broke.

Feng Yongchang hurriedly supported him, "Master, are you alright?"

After helping Rong Jin to sit down, he turned his head to look at the content written on the paper, and hurriedly saw a few words written on it from the densely packed words and sentences.

Wala sneaked in, and the army was in turmoil.

His Majesty is missing, life and death...unknown.

"how so……"

Rong Jin's throat surged as he spoke, and he bent over to spit out a mouthful of blood that spattered onto the paper.

Feng Yongchang was so frightened that he repeatedly comforted him: "Don't worry, Governor, it's just that he is missing. Your Majesty is the Son of the Dragon, and with God's blessing, nothing will happen."

Rong Jin felt dizzy in front of his eyes, he was almost out of breath, his heart seemed to have been dug out, and the scenes from a few years ago came back to his mind.

He originally thought that his heart would die a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it would still hurt so much.

How could this be?

Why?

God wants to take away all the people he cares about, does he deserve it?

If he had stopped Tong Sui at that time, or if he had gone by himself, wouldn't this kind of thing have happened.

In a daze, he seemed to hear Tong Sui standing in front of his room door, wishing to meet him, but he only knew to avoid like a coward.

Just because of his despicable body, he pushed people away again and again, thinking that he could deceive himself and others to cover up all the special emotions.

"Hahaha……"

Rong Jin laughed at himself, something came out of his eyes and slid across his cheek, "Then you should punish me, I'm the one who deserves to be damned."

Feng Yongchang has never seen Rong Jin lose control like this, and even vomit blood in a panic. In fact, it doesn't matter who is the emperor to him.

He can still continue to be his aloof Nine Thousand Years Old.

But everything is not as expected.

Rong Jin's betting affection for Tong Sui has long been far beyond the simple use of it.

With blood on the corner of Rong Jin's mouth, he said palely, "For the stability of Capital City, this matter must be strictly sealed off. Anyone who dares to spread the word will be beheaded immediately."

"In addition, inform the front line that people must be seen when they are alive, and corpses must be seen when they are dead,"

When he said these words, his voice was almost choked, and after a while, he continued: "If Chuoros makes a request, as long as he is still there, he will agree to it. Everything is based on His Majesty's life."

"yes."

the other side.

In Chuoros' camp.

"Tsk, why haven't you woke up after sleeping for three days?" Chuoros looked at the person on the bed, "How much dose did you take?"

He wanted to bring people over, but he didn't want to kill them.

The two subordinates said: "Uh...we were afraid that it would be useless, so we put in a little more. We didn't expect this drug to have such a strong stamina."

Choros clicked his tongue.

"Don't die, I can rely on your card to make a comeback."
