Although Quan Gaisuwen already hated the bastard King of Chu in front of him, he was very clear about one thing - the fact that the other party could come to the capital of Goguryeo in person and go to such great lengths to meet with him meant that he was definitely not after his head.

So after being silent for a while, Quan Gaisuwen finally said calmly: "Your Highness the King of Chu, what do you want to do?"

"Su Wen, do you remember what I said to you when we met at the Honglu Temple?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not answer Quan Gai Su Wen's straightforward question. Instead, he pointed to the green plum wine warmed in a small clay stove on the stone table and said, "It tastes good. Do you want to try it?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Quan Gai Su Wen glanced at Zhang Zhenxuan who was standing not far away. He knew that he had no choice: "Since Your Highness has this intention, Su Wen naturally dare not disobey." After saying that, he walked to the stone table and sat opposite His Highness the King of Chu.

"That's right!" Seeing Quan Gaisu Wen's cooperation, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately poured him a glass of wine: "It is said that a glass of wine can erase all grudges. Brother Su Wen, today I will offer you a glass of wine. Can we write off all our past grudges?"

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu..." Quan Gaisuwen looked at the glass of wine in front of him. He suppressed the anger in his heart again and again: "Your Highness, the Prince of Chu, I don't remember any grudges I had with you..."

"Wow..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that Quan Gaisuwen could become the chief minister of Goguryeo at such a young age, and it was definitely not as simple as sleeping with the Queen of Goguryeo: "Brother Suwen, I feel more and more that you have the qualities of a hero."

"I am unworthy of such praise from Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Quan Gaisuwen bowed to Li Kuan, but from beginning to end, he did not touch the glass of wine in front of him.

"Su Wen, do you know that I came here to save you?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was too lazy to care whether the other party was secretly trying to win over him, because he knew how to impress the person in front of him: "Gao Jianwu is now planning to unite with his ministers to harm you..."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Su Wen can still handle it." Quan Gai Su Wen didn't seem surprised at all that His Highness knew these things: "But Your Highness, Your Highness, as far as I know, your current situation... doesn't seem to be very good..."

"Are you looking for death?" Zhang Zhenxuan, who had originally not intended to get involved in the matter, has now opened his eyes again and is looking at Quan Gaisuwen, who was talking nonsense, with the eyes of looking at an ant.

"Zhenxuan, it's okay, it's okay!" For the sake of his grand plan, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who has always been tolerant, acted as a peacemaker for the first time: "He just told the truth, there's no need for us to get angry."

"Your Highness, there are many people who tell the truth, but there are even more people who cannot see the reality clearly." Zhang Zhenxuan did not say anything more after hearing this. He just pursed his lips slightly, and then slowly said: "Your Highness is not like a dragon trapped in shallow water, but there are shackles in his heart. But this person is different..."

"What the Taoist said... is actually true." Quan Gaisuwen did not understand why he had such an absurd feeling as if he was seeing ancient trees towering into the sky just by being casually glanced at by the young Taoist. He really did not dare to offend this person, because he gave him the feeling that he was even more dangerous than the King of Chu.

"Since you admit that I'm telling the truth, why don't you talk to my prince properly?" Zhang Zhenxuan said coldly, "Do you think that my prince is no longer as powerful as before, so you can act so presumptuous in front of him?!"

"I..." Quan Gaisuwen was really at a loss now - when had he ever been so presumptuous in front of the King of Chu?

But this little bastard is still so rampant even now that he has come to the capital of Goguryeo, treating it like his own home.

"Zhenxuan..." The reason why His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked Zhang Zhenxuan to participate in this conversation was, firstly, to show respect for his own worshipper, and secondly, out of consideration for personal safety - of course, he was referring to Quan Gaisuwen's safety.

Originally, His Royal Highness Prince Chu thought that if the matter could not be settled, Zhang Zhenxuan would be able to persuade him to stop, but now...

Well, His Royal Highness the King of Chu discovered that there were too many "Tiger Crazys" under his command...

"Your Highness, I'd like to go out for a walk." Zhang Zhenxuan also understood that if he continued to stay, it might hinder His Highness the King of Chu from discussing matters.

"Go ahead. I'm just here to tell Brother Su Wen my shameful words." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed and said, "You're too angry today. I suggest you go find Gangzi to practice your skills."

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense." Zhang Zhenxuan smiled slightly when he heard it, then glanced at Quan Gaisuwen who was secretly examining him, and then slowly left.

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, is this person your family's... priest?" Quan Gaisuwen did not look away until Zhang Zhenxuan's figure disappeared behind the courtyard gate for a long time before he finally asked His Highness the Prince of Chu the question in his heart.

"What does this have to do with you?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Quan Gaisuwen, do you think that I came to the capital of Goguryeo to seek refuge with you?"

"Your Highness, I dare not think so." Quan Gaisu Wen found that the other party was targeting his nine clans as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Alas..." His Highness the Prince of Chu found that this bastard was really cunning. He used both soft and hard tactics, but the other party refused to accept it: "Su Wen, are you planning to outlast Gao Jianwu? But even if you outlast him, no matter what...it will never be your turn to take the throne?"

"Your Highness, I am the Great Duilu of Goguryeo." Hearing that His Highness the King of Chu was trying to encourage him to become a rebel, Quan Gaisuwen's face immediately darkened: "There are some bottom lines that a subject should not cross."

"Su Wen," His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that the other party was still pretending to be a loyal subject to him, so he simply pointed to the wine pot on the table and said, "Do you know where this allusion of 'boiling green plums with wine' comes from? You are Da Duilu, and that is the prime minister of Goguryeo - and the protagonist of this allusion, he was once a prime minister, and later became the chancellor - and although the prime minister and chancellor are only one letter different, there is a world of difference between them - the prime minister is a group of people in a high position, and the chancellor... is truly second to none, above ten thousand people..."

"Your Highness the King of Chu, what do you want to do?" Quan Gaisuwen narrowed his eyes unconsciously at this moment.

"We agreed to meet at the top." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was a gentleman. Facing Quan Gaisuwen, a villain without Gugu, he naturally said what he wanted to say: "Well, I have nothing to do recently, so I came here specially to lend you a hand and help you reach the top..."
