in the box

Han Tuo ignored the etiquette, picked a good seat at random, and sat down.

Zhu Xun arranged for the servants, and when he went back to the table and sat down, Han Tuo had already started eating.

"Young General Han, are you ready to eat now?" Zhu Xun was surprised, he didn't expect him to be so casual, and he couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Han Tuo looked up, surprised, "Didn't you invite me to eat these dishes?"

Zhu Xun choked, then smiled and said: "How come? Please use it, Major General, you are welcome, and call again when there is not enough."

Han Tuo rolled his eyes at him, continued to bury his head in his mouth, and at the same time said in a vague voice: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I will listen while eating, don't waste time."

Zhu Xun still had a smile on his face, but his face was slightly blue, and he clenched his hands under the table fiercely, and then opened them again.

"I heard that General Han was pushed into the flower pond in the palace and almost lost his life. Fortunately, the major general was lucky enough to save his life..."

"It's been so long, why are you still mentioning it, are you deliberately embarrassing me?" Han Tuo stared at him unceremoniously.

"How dare you?" Zhu Xun quickly replied, "Uncle Ben Guo just wanted to say that the young general is really lucky, if other people fall into the water, they will die if they fail to survive."

Han Tuo curled his lips, "It's luck for the first time I heard that I fell into the water and almost drowned!"

"Uncle Ben Guo didn't mean that..."

"All right, all right, I know you didn't mean that, so go ahead." Han Tuo interrupted his defense.

Seeing his impatience, Zhu Xun couldn't help cursing in his heart, and the smile on his face became stiff.

"Have you finished?" Han Tuo asked after waiting for a long time, seeing that he still hadn't spoken.

"I haven't finished." Zhu Xun gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh, let's talk about it!"

"Say," Zhu Xun held back his breath, and continued, "I heard that the young general always remembers the old prince, oh no, it's the emperor who kicked you into the pool..." Zhu Xun was so angry that he almost forgot The prince has become the emperor, so he quickly changed his words, but before he could finish a sentence, he was interrupted again.

"Why did you hear it again? Where did you hear it?" Han Tuo interrupted him again.

"I... this, everyone thinks so, is there something wrong?" Zhu Xun looked puzzled, and instantly thought that they had guessed wrong, and Han Tuo didn't hold grudges at all.

"It's not wrong, I did remember it all the time, but I didn't expect you to gossip like this," Han Tuo looked at him with an expression of "so you are such a person".

Zhu Xun's face turned blue and then black, and he didn't know what to say.

"Speaking of that incident back then, didn't I just say a few words wrong, he actually took advantage of my unpreparedness and kicked me into the pool, I was so pitiful that I couldn't swim at all and almost drowned in the pool, If the guards in the palace hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid there would be another lonely soul in the palace. How can I still be famous now~ Speaking of this incident, I get angry, growing up so big, I'm still number one! I was kicked for the first time. I think back then, the old man didn't dare to kick me, for fear of hurting me, the only seedling of the Han family. He was fine, didn't he just say a few unpleasant words, and wanted to put me to death. Hateful!..."

Zhu Xun stared at him inexplicably, dumbfounded, and began to talk about the past and the grievances in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, Han Tuo suddenly noticed that he had said too many things that were not good for him without knowing it, and suddenly put away his angry expression, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Ahem...Okay, let's go on, I remember the grudges from that year, what's next?" Han Tuo began to lower his head and eat fiercely again.

"Hold grudges..." Being interrupted by him like this, Zhu Xun almost forgot what he was going to say just now, all he could think about was that he held grudges so much, and it turned out that he and the new emperor were so at odds.

"Well, my lord uncle... my lord..."

Zhu Xun suddenly came back to his senses and saw him stretching out his hand dangling in front of him, only then realized that he was dazed.

He coughed twice, indicating that he had returned to his senses.

Han Tuo withdrew his hand and looked at him strangely, "Uncle Guo, are you alright?"

"It's all right." Zhu Xun waved his hands, picked up the teacup, and prepared to drink water to moisten his throat.

"It's good to be fine. I heard that when people get old, they will suffer from all kinds of diseases. My uncle works day and night, and his health may be a little worse than that of ordinary people. If you have any ailments, you must seek the doctor's diagnosis in time. It’s too much to cure, and there are still some quack doctors among the people, who will always find a cure, as the pillar of the country, the uncle of the country must not fall down..."

"Puff...cough cough..." Zhu Xun was drinking water, listening to his words, it was okay at first, but the more he listened to it, the more something went wrong, as if he had already suffered from some incurable disease, he came up in one breath, not only sprayed out the water, Still choking.

"Hey ~ Uncle Guo, are you alright? You say you can still choke on saliva, why don't you be more careful!" As he said, he moved to his side and patted him twice in a decent manner.

Zhu Xun was unprepared for a while, and allowed him to slap him twice, almost breaking him apart, so he quickly stopped him, shaking his head vigorously, for fear of being hit by him again.

Han Tuo watched him shake his head vigorously, with fear and disgust on his face, withdrew his hand, muttered "I don't know good people", and sat back in his seat, "Since I don't need to take care of it, then I will continue to eat, or the food will be cold in a while. It won't taste good."

After that, don't care about him anymore.

Zhu Xun was full of annoyance. He resented that he was a dignified uncle, and in his eyes he was not as good as this table of wine and food. He was also afraid that he would continue to "care" about him and pat himself on the back.

After finally recovering his breath, Han Tuo put down his chopsticks contentedly and hiccupped.

It was only then that Zhu Xun realized that the table had already been eaten unknowingly, and he hadn't even touched a mouthful.

Has he not eaten for several days, or is he a pig?

He cursed inwardly.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Guo, I've been in the Northwest for a long time, and I haven't eaten such a table of delicious food for a long time. I can't help but eat too much. I hope my lord will not be offended!"

"Where is it~ This table of wine and food was originally prepared for the major general. I am not afraid that the major general will eat it, but I am afraid that I will not finish it. Now it is just right to finish it, so as not to waste it."

"Oh, that's good," Han Tuo said before getting up and leaving.

"Huh?" Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhu Xun quickly stood up to stop him, "Where is the young general going?"

"My lord uncle invited me here today to talk, isn't it just to enlighten me? Although it is a bit rude to say this and let down the painstaking efforts of my uncle, I still want to say that I will never get along well with the Holy Majesty. This is the end of the conversation, I don't need to stay any longer, presumably Mr. Guojiu has nothing to say, so let's leave." After saying that, he was about to pull his hand away.

At this point, Zhu Xun was completely sure in his heart that Han Tuo was a rough warrior with no scheming, and it was effortless to use him, and the quarrel with the new emperor was also real.

"Why is the major general leaving in such a hurry, why don't you leave after listening to my uncle's words before it's too late." Zhu Xun grabbed his arm vigorously and didn't let go.

Han Tuo suddenly broke away from his hand with a strange expression, "Master Guo, just talk as you say, why bother to make people see us and think what's wrong with us." After speaking, he turned around and went back to sit down again.

Zhu Xun was embarrassed, his face darkened again and again, so he didn't notice the sneer in Han Tuo's eyes after he turned around.

Sitting back in his original position, Zhu Xun let out a long breath, and said slowly, "I know that Young General Han doesn't like the new emperor, but to tell you the truth, my Zhu family is also at odds with the new emperor."

Han Tuo looked surprised, "Uncle Guo, are you joking? The Zhu family is the emperor's mother family, how could they be at odds?"

"If he was close to the Zhu family, how could he be cruel enough to exile the dog to a remote place?"

"Isn't that because he made a mistake?"

"But, Gouzi is his cousin after all, how could he have the heart to disregard his old feelings and be sentenced to such a serious crime!" Zhu Xun said angrily.

"That's true." Han Tuo nodded in agreement.

"Major General Han obviously doesn't want to be his subject and serve him, but now he has to guard the territory for him as a subject, how can the Major General Bureau be willing?" He continued, "As his mother family, my Zhu family, Not only helped him become the crown prince, but also helped him stand firm on the throne, but he was cunning and ruthless, and targeted the Zhu family everywhere. How can such a cold-blooded and ruthless person be worthy of being the king of a country?" He suddenly lowered his voice, "How about you? I unite and find a way to overthrow him."

Han Tuo was so surprised that he jumped up from the chair in an instant, his face turned slightly pale, his eyes widened, and he looked at him in horror, as if he had heard something that frightened him.

"This, this..." He stiffened, not knowing what to say.

"How? Major General, do you have the guts? Rather than being oppressed to death by him, it is better to overthrow him and choose another good leader to assist him. What do you think? Major General." He suddenly stood up, approached him, and said in a deep voice .

Han Tuo shook his head violently, and panicked, "No, no, if I do that, the old man will kill me."

"There's nothing wrong with it, think about it," he said, pulling him back, staring into his eyes, "if we succeed, you and I will be ministers of the dragon, with a higher position, and we will overthrow him and support The other princes are also of royal blood, and it will be a foregone conclusion at that time, and Old General Han will have to agree even if he doesn't want to."

"Other princes? Mr. Guojiu has already been chosen?"

"That's right, the sixth prince who was born of the same mother as the emperor and is also of the direct blood line seems to be the most suitable at present."

"Is he too young?" Han Tuo hesitated and wavered.

"It's not too young, and the name is justified. The new emperor thinks that it is difficult for him to take on heavy responsibilities. It is reasonable and reasonable to abdicate the throne and pass it on to his younger brother." Zhu Xun saw through his vacillation, and quickly added fuel to the fire.

"What if the other brothers disagree?"

"Then you need to suppress it. If you don't agree, then..." He scratched his neck fiercely.

Han Tuo looked at him in panic, "Isn't that cruel?"

"The benevolence of a woman, if you don't kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, how can you succeed?" Zhu Xun said with contempt.

"This... please allow me to think about it for a few days." Han Tuo hesitated, still unable to make up his mind.

"Well, I'll give you a few days to think about it, but I can't give you too long. In short, you should make up your mind as soon as possible. You know, I'm not the only one to choose."

"Then I'll take my leave first." This time, Han Tuo finally left.

After he left, Zhu Xun stood in the box, snorted coldly, and said to himself, "Huh~ You're so timid, and you're still a general! I knew those rumors were all rumors. How could he be so powerful at such a young age! Eight Old man Han gave him Chengdu."

"Come here~" He called Xiao Er.

"Guest officer, what's the matter?"

"Remove these and replace them with a new table."

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Xun thought to himself: A good table wasted!
