Beauty and the BodyguardBeauty and the Bodyguard
Chapter 11200: Chapter 11199: The Great Battle!
Chu Zhongyuan was not surprised by this. He sat down quietly opposite him and watched King Chu play with the maid without saying a word.
King Chu hugged the beautiful maid in disheveled clothes and said in a resentful tone,” Uncle Wang, there are so many bad things on my mind now. I need to vent. You can’t be so disappointed.”
“Your Majesty, you can continue. I can wait,” said Chu Zhongyuan calmly.
The king of Chu had no choice but to dismiss the maid. He sat up straight and asked,” What’s the matter, Uncle Wang?”
Chu Zhongyuan was silent.
Lord Chu scratched his head and began to tidy up his clothes. After tidying up, he stood up and bowed respectfully. He asked again,” Uncle Wang, please speak.”
After a moment of silence, Chu Zhongyuan finally made up his mind. He stood up and cupped his hands.” Your Majesty, I have something to confess to you.”
“Uncle Wang, what are you doing?”
Lord Chu was shocked. He quickly said,” If there’s anything wrong with me, Uncle Wang, just say it. I’ll definitely change. Don’t do this. It’s scary.”
Chu Zhongyuan took a deep breath.
“What?” Lord Chu jumped up. How dare that dog bully Uncle Wang? Preposterous, this king will go and strike him!”
In the yard, Lin Yi looked at Shizu’s expression with interest.
Bai Shizu’s face was still talking about the investigation, but his expression clearly darkened.
In terms of being unreasonable, King Chu was the most unreasonable of the seven kings.
It was not strange at all if he really wanted to come over and slash someone at this time. This was a lawless bastard.
Lin Yi didn’t doubt that the first thought that flashed through Shizu’s mind was how to escape the Chu royal residence.
Fortunately, Chu Zhongyuan managed to persuade King Chu to stop.
Chu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice,” The king’s courage is precious, but it can’t be used at this moment. It is Bai Shizu’s duty to investigate me. I don’t blame him for this. Moreover, if anything is found out from the investigation, it will be my own fault.”
“What are you talking about, Uncle King?” King Chu was stunned. Did that dog tell you some nonsense? Damn it, I knew it was nothing good!”
As he said that, he raised his knife and wanted to slash someone again.
Originally, with the alliance between the Chu royal residence and the Qin royal residence, he was happy to see Bai Shizu in charge of investigating the Chu royal residence.
But now, it seemed that some things were not so natural.
Chu Zhongyuan stopped him.”Your Majesty, please listen to me first. The Chu royal residence cannot fall into chaos now. Someone needs to step forward and take responsibility. I am the culprit.”
Lord Chu was stunned.
Bai Shizu, who was talking to Lin Yi in the yard, was nervous.
Once Chu Zhongyuan confessed to the King of Chu, he would lose his value, and his plan to empty the Chu royal residence would also fail.
In fact, until now, he did not believe that Chu Zhongyuan had such boldness.
After all, if he really had the courage to fight to the death, why would he not be the second-in-command of the Chu royal residence and instead become a spy for the gods?
But now, it seemed that he was really wrong.
Helpless, Bai Shizu could only activate the consciousness attached to the other party’s body and take the initiative to establish contact.
” There’s no need to be so desperate. We can still sit down and talk about this matter. Everyone has room to advance and retreat. Why do we have to fight to the death?”
In the study, Chu Zhongyuan was slightly stunned.
Then, he was shocked and angry.
He had actually guessed that Bai Shizu would monitor him, but when this scene was revealed, he still felt a great sense of humiliation.
Chu Zhongyuan was about to explode.
However, in the next second, another unfamiliar voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.
“There’s no need to reveal your identity. Bai Shizu can’t threaten you. Continue to hide and don’t act rashly.”
Chu Zhongyuan was stunned.
He was unable to find the source of this unfamiliar voice, but the supreme meaning that the voice exuded was something that no cultivator could disguise.
The gods had descended upon the Inner Court?
This was Chu Zhongyuan’s first reaction, but he immediately rejected it.
In the recent hundreds of years, although the Inner Court had been corroded and riddled with holes, it still had the solid foundation laid down by countless ancestors.
Before this foundation was completely squandered, it was almost impossible for the gods to descend to the Inner Court.
But he was sure of one thing.
Even if the owner of this voice was not a god himself, it must be a terrifying existence of an extremely high level. Moreover, this existence had already arrived at the inner palace and was even in their Chu royal residence at this moment!
Chu Zhongyuan immediately felt relieved.
He had been forced to a dead end and had no choice but to self-destruct.
Now that he had someone to rely on, his thoughts immediately changed.
At this moment, Lord Chu reacted and stomped his feet. All this while, our Chu royal residence has relied on you to keep it going. If it weren’t for you, the Chu royal residence would have collapsed hundreds of times!”
“We have fallen to this state today purely because I, the King of Chu, have too little virtue and am not favored by the Heavenly Dao. What does it have to do with you, Uncle Wang?”
“If you want to talk about responsibility, it’s all this king’s responsibility!”
Lin Yi turned his head sideways.
After the previous few interactions, his impression of this King Chu was very ordinary, but now it seemed that there was nothing to recommend him.
In the study room, Chu Zhongyuan was choked by King Chu’s words until tears streamed down his face.
He was a spy of the gods, but he had never thought of betraying the King of Chu, much less the Chu royal residence.
A moment later, Chu Zhongyuan regained his composure. He said seriously,” Your Majesty, please don’t blame yourself. I misspoke.”
Lord Chu looked at his expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, he became happy.” No, no, I’m telling the truth.”
However, before Chu Zhongyuan could feel relieved, the King of Chu’s attitude changed again. He said with a thick face,” Uncle Wang, is there anything else? Then I’ll call them back, okay?”
“..”
” You…” Chu Zhongyuan’s face darkened.” As the king, can you act like a human lord?”
Lord Chu secretly pouted.” It’s just enjoyment. It won’t ruin anything.”
Chu Zhongyuan’s face turned black with anger. He reminded,” The King of Zhao has come to visit personally. He is in the reception hall now. As the host, the King should receive him warmly.”
“King Zhao is here?”
Lord Chu was stunned.” The King of Zhao’s residence has made such a big commotion. How can it be over so quickly?”
With that, he could only get up and leave.
No matter what, the King of Zhao was a top-notch duke on the same level as him. He was also one of the few people among the seven kings who could make him treat him differently, other than the King of Qin.
“The King of Zhao is here, just like the other families. He should be here for our Rules Design Institute,” Chu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice.
“That depends on what price he offers.” Lord Chu snorted.
