Chapter 558 My life has already been lost eight times.

Seeing Xie Yuan being so rebellious, Old Master Wang with the white beard got up from his seat angrily, trembling all over, and cursed loudly towards her back:

"The world is declining, the world is declining!...Since the Hu people have occupied half of the country, the etiquette inheritance of the Han people has been ruined! Your Xie clan served the Hu people, and your final defeat is a testimony!
I heard that you wear Hu clothes and sit on Hu beds, and now even those Hu people have learned the shameless customs.I don't know that those are the acts of uncivilized beasts!

You are ashamed of the ancestors of the Xie family, ashamed of the glory of your ancestors, and insulting the dignity of my Han family!From now on, there will be no more Xie family members in this world! ...decayed!Everything is falling apart! "

Xie Yuan walked to the door, and the moment he lifted his foot to step over the threshold, he could still hear the old master's heartbroken shout:

"...I am a country of etiquette in China, but I have been influenced by the barbarians to this extent, what a shame!...What a shame!!"

Xie Yuan paused, his drooping eyelashes trembled, as if he felt guilty.But this is only a momentary thing.

She whispered to herself:
"If this etiquette and shame only require women to restrain their hands and feet and not show their strengths, then don't do it!"

Immediately, she lifted the hem of her clothes, walked in firmly, and said in a cold voice:
"close the door!"

……

……

The palace city of Wei State.

Shen Liuzhen returned to the capital of Wei State, and played against Wu Lei in the palace for the first time.

On the side of the chessboard, green smoke slowly rose from the top of the incense burner, and the little eunuchs in the room brought tea and water lightly back and forth, for fear of disturbing them.

Both of them stared at the chessboard seriously, except for the occasional sound of chess being dropped, there was nothing else.

Wu Lei held the sunspot in his hand and rubbed it unconsciously. While waiting for Shen Liuzhen to fall, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Liuzhen. Seeing that his face was so pale, it was really bad, so he sighed and said:
"Ever since you came back from the Song Dynasty, you've been listless, and you wouldn't come unless you were asked... It's been so many days, don't you plan to tell me?"

Shen Liuzhen showed a brief smile, very reluctantly, and said:
"I don't have any urgent errands, just a servant. If your majesty doesn't call me a minister, I don't need to come."

Ulay pursed his lower lip, and said with a half smile on his luxurious brows:
"Well... this is not asking for an official, right? Just in time, this time you have dug out the hidden secrets of Song State in one fell swoop. If you are promoted to an official, they can't say anything."

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyelids and said directly and coldly:
"No, Your Majesty, it's fine now. I'm not in the mood and don't want to care about anything. From time to time, Your Majesty invites ministers into the palace to play chess and talk, and it's fine."

Wu Lei's gestures stopped suddenly, and he looked at Shen Liuzhen with deep eyes, as if he was pondering the truth of what he said.

After a while, he retracted his hand, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a gentle tone:

"What's the matter with you? After making such great achievements and coming back, those who doubted your loyalty have also shut up. Seeing that everything is going well, why do you feel like you have been stimulated?"

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, his eye circles turned red, and he lowered his eyes and said aggrievedly:

"A Yuan is going to kill me, life is really meaningless."

Ulay raised his chin knowingly, hesitated for a while, and said bluntly:
"She is Song and you are Wei. Isn't it natural for her to kill you?"

Shen Liuzhen hesitated for a moment, raised her peach eyes, stared at Wu Lei watery like a rabbit, moved her lips, and said excitedly:
"I didn't expect that she would actually do it! Your Majesty, can you understand how resentful I am? To her... I almost showed her my heart!"

Ulay lowered his eyes, and dropped the sunspots in his hand onto the chessboard again. After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said:
"This kind of thing can't be forced. Since she can't come, you can't go either. Why don't you just forget it. Later, I will choose a good wife for you, so you won't be so sad."

Shen Liuzhen let out a long breath, and said very lazily:

"I don't want it, I'm not interested."

Then he dropped the pieces on the chessboard casually.

The luxurious-looking young emperor glanced at the situation, put his elbows on the edge of the table, smiled while holding his forehead, and said:

"Do you know? Before you came back, Yishan was arrested, and the old courtiers who won the trust took turns to go to battle one by one, telling me that you are a Han, treacherous and cunning is your nature, and the best way to deceive people is to use tricks and tricks." It's good at it, it's really unbelievable.

Now that the rebellion is clearly revealed, let me take advantage of the fact that there are still available people in the Song Kingdom, and order you to be assassinated, so as to set the record straight. "

He paused, and said with a slightly guilty voice:
"If you don't come back again, I really thought you were going to stay in the Song Kingdom... They should really show them how you look like a rascal at this moment... What do you call 'smart words'? If you change someone else, I'm afraid your life will be long gone It fell eight times."

Shen Liuzhen was silent for a while when he heard it, and then cheered up, apologized softly, and said:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry...the minister is really sad."

Ulay put the chess pieces in his hand back into the basket and said:
"You've been back for so long, you can't go on like this forever."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes, looked at Shen Liuzhen sincerely, and said:

"I need you, Shen Shizhong."

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes, looking like he was on the verge of weeping. I feel pity for anyone who sees him. He straightened his back, pursed his lips, and said:
"In short, I don't want to take care of the affairs of the Song Dynasty anymore. Other matters, but according to His Majesty's orders."

At this moment, a little eunuch came in, holding a paint canister, and said:

"Your Majesty, this is news from Song Kingdom."

Wu Lei took it casually, looked up, and sure enough, Shen Liuzhen's eyes fell on the paint tube, his expression was displeased but he still couldn't hide his curiosity.Seeing Ulei staring at him, he wanted to cover up his misfortune and quickly looked away, took another piece and dropped it on the chessboard.

The little eunuch withdrew silently.

While unpacking the paint canister, Ulay said in disgust and amusedly:
"Stop playing, I've already let you fall down and still make a move? I haven't made a move yet."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, a little shameful flush appeared on his wooden face, and he glanced at Wu Lei with his big eyes, full of apology and guilty conscience, he clasped his hands and did not move.

Ulay unfolded the paper, looked at it twice, and said with emotion:

"I really want to see what your A Yuan looks like, she is really a wonderful woman."

Shen Liuzhen's lips moved, wanting to ask what's wrong.But when it came to his lips, he said coldly:

"She has nothing to do with me."

Wu Lei knew that he was stubborn, so he was very considerate and didn't care about him, but put the paper on the chessboard on his own, just where Shen Liuzhen could see it, and said:

"Now that her identity as a woman has been exposed by the Song Dynasty, in a place where the Han people place so much emphasis on Confucian etiquette, facing the criticism of everyone alone, the pressure is so great that I dare not even imagine.

Not only that, but she can also work diligently to maintain her status and situation. It is conceivable how high her prestige in the army was before. "

Wu Lei glanced at Shen Liuzhen, and said sincerely:
"It's really a pity that I couldn't dig her up."
