I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 435

Yan Zheng sneered after hearing this: "He couldn't bear it anymore, I thought he would endure it forever."

Han Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news. It seemed that the Chinese New Year was almost here, and the affairs of Chu State had dragged on for a long time. He worried that if the King of Chu could hold his breath so calmly, Yan Zheng might lose his patience.

It's not that Daqin doesn't have that strength, but he just wants to take Chu State without bloodshed. If it takes too long and Yan Zheng's patience is gradually exhausted, it doesn't make any difference whether the King of Chu is dead or alive, anyway, he will fight sooner or later.

Yan Zheng didn't touch him before, most likely because of Han Yi's face, Han Yi was still a little soft-hearted towards the King of Chu, and couldn't bear to kill him, Yan Zheng knew all this.

However, after such a long delay, if Yan Zheng wanted to persuade Han Yi to kill King Chu, Han Yi would most likely not object.

Han Yi stood up and said, "I'll go see him, what do you think?"

Yan Zheng said casually: "You can do whatever you want, don't worry about anything else."

Han Yi nodded and turned to leave. Gao Fuling beside him said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if the King of Chu still insists on evading, what should Zhongshu do if he is soft-hearted?"

Looking at Han Yi's back, Yan Zheng suddenly said, "You're right, I should tell Ah Yi that it would be good to have a result before the New Year."

Gao Fuling asked: "Then...the old servant is going to invite Zhongshu back?"

Yan Zheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, everything has been said."

In fact, Yan Zheng didn't care about the outcome, he was indeed intent on killing the King of Chu, but there were too many ways to kill the King of Chu, and there was no need to mobilize the crowd at all.

The reason why Yan Zheng wanted to give Han Yi an order was that he knew Han Yi too well. The more indifferent his attitude, the greater the pressure on Han Yi.

He will be afraid that he will live up to such tolerance, so he may force himself to come up with an answer today.

And if Yan Zheng gave him a goal, Han Yi might be more calm.

It's just that Yan Zheng wouldn't tell Gao Fuling about this matter, so Gao Fuling naturally couldn't understand that even if Yan Zheng gave Han Yi an order, he hoped that he wouldn't be so stressed.

In fact, Han Yi sat in the carriage with a serious expression on his face.

He was thinking about the purpose of the king of Chu seeing him, and even began to build scenes in his brain, and began to imitate what the king of Chu said, trying to be able to respond appropriately no matter what the king of Chu said, and express his own meaning by the way—if he did not cooperate, he would not Would you mind sending the King of Chu to see the King of Hades?

Once he made up his mind, Han Yi forced himself to throw away all those previous feelings. In the confrontation between the two countries, such useless feelings will only cause bad things.

He closed his eyes and thought about all the possible conversations. After imprisoning Zhuangzi, the king of Chu, he had almost expected it.

After getting off the carriage, Han Yi couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Because he found that Yan Zheng actually changed the place for the King of Chu. Now the place where the King of Chu is imprisoned looks very good. The only thing that is inconvenient is that he needs to take a boat to get in and out!

Yes, King Chu is now imprisoned on an island in the middle of the lake. The whole lake is so big that Han Yi can't see the edge at a glance.

He stepped into the boat, and at the first sight he saw the boatman, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. He was tall and tall, and he seemed to have good skills. After the boatman saluted, he operated the boat and floated towards the center of the lake.

Han Yi asked: "On weekdays, do you go in and out by boat?"

The boatman replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Han Yi asked, "How many people are there on the island?"

"Only the King of Chu."

"Only one?" Han Yi was a little surprised: "Then how do you take care of him on weekdays?"

The boatman said: "There is an order from the king, and the prisoners under the rank can do whatever they want."

In other words, King Chu can only take care of himself.

It's just that Han Yi wasn't quite sure how much he took care of himself, so he asked, "Did you send the food?"

The boatman said: "The king said that in order to prove that he has no intention of killing the king of Chu, and to prevent the king from being unable to eat, we are only responsible for delivering the ingredients, and the king of Chu will take care of the rest."

Han Yi: ...

This is really amazing, Han Yi suspects that the king of Chu hasn't starved to death because of Yan Zheng's release of water.

Otherwise, relying on the fact that the King of Chu has been pampered since he was a child, it would be amazing to let him live alone and not starve to death.

Han Yi asked again: "Did the King of Chu try to escape?"

The boatman replied, "I tried, but he couldn't swim out."

Well, don't even think about it, the boatman certainly wouldn't leave the boat here.

As for robbing the boat, the king of Chu probably couldn't beat the boatman.

Thinking of this, Han Yi suddenly wanted to see the King of Chu urgently—wondering what the King of Chu was doing now.

All the way to the island, I found that the island is very small, and there is basically no extra land except for a house.

There is no scenery or greenery, and there is only endless water when looking out from the window.

The self-heating of the room is only big enough for one person to live in. This room is probably not as big as the toilet of the king of Chu.

No matter how small the room is, it has all internal organs. After Han Yi entered, he even saw the stove, and the firewood was placed next to the stove.

There was a bowl of strangely colored food on the stove, which Han Yi didn't want to take a second look at after taking a look at it.

After observing for a while, he found that King Chu was not in the house. He just felt a little strange when he heard footsteps, and when he raised his eyes, he saw someone walking in from behind the house.

Although he didn't see the other party's face at first, Han Yi knew without guessing that it must be King Chu.

The moment he saw the other party, even Han Yi, who was well-informed, couldn't help being a little surprised—the king of Chu, who was always clean and tidy, had a slightly messy bun at this time, and he was wearing coarse clothes, with trousers rolled up above his knees and sleeves. Also to the elbow.

Not only that, he holds a wooden basin in his right hand and a fish basket in his left hand.

If such an image hadn't been confirmed that this person was the king of Chu, Han Yi would even wonder which farmer this is coming here!

After seeing Han Yi, the King of Chu didn't feel embarrassed. After taking a look at him, he said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the demeanor of Gong Yue is still the same. Oh, it's time to call him Jun Yue."

After hearing this, Han Yi glanced at him and was a little short of words, and it took him a long time to say: "You are very different."

He found that this scene was too unexpected for him, and the assumptions he had made before were basically useless.

In the end, we still have to adapt to the situation, Han Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although the King of Chu looked downcast, he didn't see any embarrassment, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhu Yue thinks this difference is good or bad?"

Han Yi settled down and said, "I said it's useless, the king of Chu has to ask himself."

The king of Chu nodded, put the fish basket in his hand beside the stove, and then said: "Let's talk later, let the widow dry the clothes first."

So Han Yi watched helplessly as King Chu walked outside with a basin of clothes, and skillfully dried the clothes that were still dripping on the bamboo pole outside.

It was only then that Han Yi realized that King Chu was not in the house just now, so he went to wash clothes.

Such a king of Chu...is very strange.

According to Han Yi's understanding, even if the king of Chu was tortured miserably by Yan Zheng, he should still try his best to maintain the bearing of a king when he came here.

What's more, this meeting was requested by King Chu, and he had enough time to take care of himself instead of appearing in such an image.

Could it be that the king of Chu wanted to tell Han Yi that he was more easy-going, no matter how harsh the conditions Yan Zheng gave him, he didn't care, so he wouldn't agree to Han Yi's request?

However, after Han Yi observed it, he found that King Chu's every move was very natural, as if he should do so, without any part of posturing.

This made Han Yi a little confused.

After the King of Chu dried his clothes, he went back to the house and said, "Your Excellency is laughing, I only have these two sets of clothes. If you don't dry them as soon as possible after washing, you may not have time to change them tomorrow."

Han Yi heard that he claimed to be a widow but spoke as if he was an ordinary person, even worse than some people with good family fortune. This feeling was too divided. The King of Chu didn't feel anything, but he was a little uncomfortable.

At that moment, Han Yi suspected that the king of Chu was deliberately sending his army down.

So he pretended not to be surprised and said: "It's not easy for the king of Chu to live in peace and happiness, but if you don't want the clothes to fade when you dry them, you'd better turn them over."

The dyeing technology in this era is not so developed, and it is easy to fade the color of the fabric after washing and exposure to the sun.

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He turned his head to look at the clothes he had dried, and then said, "These clothes are too dark in color, so it's better to be lighter."

Han Yi said with a half-smile, "It's as long as you're happy."

This sentence is definitely the trump card for interrupting the chat, and the reason why Han Yi said this is to quickly restart a topic, which is too weird.

Unexpectedly, the king of Chu continued to say without changing his face after many battles: "What are you doing standing there? Take your seat quickly, you came just in time, I just caught a herring, and I will wait for you to clean it up, let you Also taste the craft of the widow."

So you start cooking right after you wash your clothes?

What kind of medicine is sold in King Chu's gourd?

If it wasn't for fear of falling into a passive position, Han Yi really couldn't help but ask him what he wanted to do.

However, Han Yi didn't ask. He decided to hold his breath and wait for the king of Chu to speak up. If the other party continues to be aimless, Han Yi can leave directly.

Who has so much time to watch you perform!

Han Yi wondered how long he would last, and watched the King of Chu heat up the pot.

Not to mention, the step of ignition seems to be quite skilled, at least there is not too much black smoke coming out.

After igniting the fire, the king of Chu lifted the herring out of the fish basket.

At this time, the fish was still very fresh, and it kept struggling in the hands of King Chu. King Chu turned his head and smiled at Han Yi and said, "Fresh fish still tastes good."

Han Yi widened his eyes and stretched out his hand and shouted, "Wait!"

At the same time as he said these words, King Chu threw the fish in his hand into the already hot pot.

Han Yi looked at the fish that kept jumping around in the pot, and asked with a broken face: "Can't you kill the fish first? Can the fish be eaten without cleaning?"
