The two of them had just touched a glass when they heard a gentle knock on the door. Luo Xin put down his wine glass and said softly:

"It's coming!"

King Yu also hurriedly straightened his chest and made a majestic appearance. Luo Xin looked funny, got up and came to the door, opened the door, and saw Lu Daqing standing outside, and behind him stood a man in ordinary clothes with a hat. When he saw Luo Xin come out, he said softly:

"Lord Luo, I'm here!"

"Come in!"

Luo Xin said softly, then got out of the way, and the man walked in, Luo Xin told Lu Daqing to guard outside, and then gently closed the door.

The man in the room took off his hat, knelt down in front of King Yu with a puff and said:

"Minister, Liu Shouyou has a visit to His Highness."

Yuwang got up elegantly, took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Shouyou's shoulder, and said cordially:

"General Liu, please get up."

"Write Your Highness!"

Liu Shouyou stood up, and saluted Luo Xin again: "I've seen Lord Luo." ”

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite between us, we are all assisting His Royal Highness King Yu." ”

When King Yu heard this, he was even more happy in his heart. Then he waved his hand and said, "Master Luo, General Liu, sit down and talk while eating." ”

After Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou thanked them, they sat down. Bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses had already been prepared for Liu Shouyou, Luo Xin poured wine for the three of them, and said with a smile:

"Come, let's have a drink."

"I salute Your Highness." Liu Shouyou hurriedly raised his wine glass.

All three of them drank it all. Then there was a conversation between King Yu and Liu Shouyou, King Yu showed great cordiality, Liu Shouyou also showed great loyalty, and the monarch and the ministers were happy. Luo Xin just sat on the side, not bothering them, and watched with a smile. After talking like this for about two quarters of an hour, Liu Shouyou suddenly closed his mouth, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

King Yu saw the embarrassment on Liu Shouyou's face, so he smiled kindly: "General Liu, if you have anything to say, just talk to Gu, as long as Gu can solve it, it will be solved for you." ”

"It's not!" Liu Shouyou hesitated: "It's just that the minister got a message, and I don't know if to say it or not." ”

"Say!" King Yu said simply.

"Yes!" Liu Shouyou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a hint of nervousness on his face: "Your Highness, the minister has received a message that tonight, Elder Xu Ge invited Yuan Wei to a banquet. ”

"What?" At first, King Yu didn't care, but when he heard Liu Shouyou's words, he almost jumped up: "What did you say?" ”

"The minister said, Xu Ge Lao invited Yuan Wei to the banquet tonight!"

"Master Xu invited Yuan Wei to the banquet?" King Yu asked in disbelief.

"Yes!"

"General Liu!" Luo Xin interjected with a solemn face: "This is not a joke, are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure!" Liu Shouyou nodded solemnly.

King Yu's face suddenly became ugly, and he muttered to himself: "Master Xu is Lone's teacher, Yuan Wei is the first teacher of the fourth brother, what does Master Xu mean by inviting Yuan Wei to the banquet?" ”

Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou glanced at each other and didn't say anything. The original joyful atmosphere in the study was gone, and it became solemn. Half-loud, King Yu asked in a condensed voice:

"Old Xu Ge only invited Yuan Wei to the banquet alone?"

"This ...... I don't know. ”

"Are you really sure?"

"Sure!"

"I don't believe it!"

Yuwang slammed the table and stood up, walking back and forth in the study, his heart full of a sense of defeat at this time. Just now, I was full of confidence, I had Xu Jie and Gao Gong outside, and now I heard Xu Jie invite King Jing's teacher to dinner.

Xu Jie: What does this mean?

Do you want to betray yourself?

What did you do to be sorry for him?

King Yu thought about it, and was even more angry in his heart, didn't he just invite him into the mansion yesterday?

I also asked him if he was okay!

If there is something to do, can you not invite him into the house?

Just voted for King Jing for such a trivial matter?

No!

I don't believe it!

Yuwang's heart was really hard to believe, and he didn't want to believe it, looking at the struggling look on Yuwang's face, Luo Xinzhong also sighed lightly.

He had a grudge against Xu Jie, but he didn't want to let Xu Jie switch to King Jing at this time, which was a heavy blow to King Yu's camp.

No matter what Xu Jie's status is in King Yu's heart, don't forget that Xu Jie's Ming cabinet is the first assistant. With this identity, this status, sitting there and doing nothing, will also attract a large number of people who support Yuwang.

However, if Xu Jie, once he switched to King Jing, he would lead a large number of people to leave King Yu's camp. And Yuwang's reputation will also be hit hard.

His own teacher, the first assistant of the cabinet can't be retained, is this Yuwang still worth supporting?

I'm afraid that King Yu's camp will be shaken up immediately.

However, this incident Luo Xin cannot be regarded as not happening. Xu Jie's switch to King Jing is a blow to King Yu, but if King Yu doesn't know about it after Xu Jie switches to King Jing, he still trusts Xu Jie, this is the most dangerous thing. Therefore, Yuwang must be made aware of the seriousness of this matter. So, Luo Xin said softly:

"Your Highness, it's very simple to know if Xu Jie invited Yuan Wei to dinner, or if he only invited Yuan Wei alone."

"How?" King Yu Huo Ran raised his head and looked at King Yu.

"His Royal Highness and the ministers changed into civilian clothes, took a carriage out of the back door of the ministers, and watched not far in front of the Xu Jiemen."

King Yu thought for a while and nodded, the place where Xu Jie lives is actually on the same street as Luo Xinfu, and the people living on this street are all important ministers of the court, and there are no taverns or anything like that. Therefore, if you want to spy on Xu Jie, you must take a carriage.

With a decision, although King Yu was very irritable, he still sat down and drank with Luo Xin and Liu Shou absentmindedly. After eating, Liu Shouyou said goodbye and left, and Luo Xin and King Yu sat down to drink tea.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Luo Xin and King Yu changed into civilian clothes and walked through the back door in a carriage.

When he could see the gate of Xufu from a distance, the groom reduced the speed of the carriage to the minimum, and the carriage swayed forward. Luo Xin and Yuwang sat sullenly in the carriage. The carriage swayed past the gate of Xu's mansion, and after traveling about 100 meters, it stopped under a big tree. The driver jumped out of the wheel, crouched down in front of the wheel, and pretended to be a car repairer. Just looked at the gate of the Xu Mansion from time to time.

About a quarter of an hour later, Luo Xin and Yuwang, who were sitting in the carriage, heard the coachman outside whisper:

"Your Highness, my lord, Yuan Wei is here."

Yu Wang and Luo were shocked by their confidence, and the two of them opened the window of the carriage a crack and looked towards the door of the Xu Mansion. saw that Yuan Wei had come out of the sedan chair at this time, and was talking politely to Xu Jie, who came out to greet him, and Xu Jie, who was also full of spring breeze, and Yuan Wei entered the mansion with his arm.
