Xiang Wen was wandering among the crowd. He accepted Wang Kang's errands and came to Pingguo without stopping to Xianghe City.

In fact, it has been a few days since he came, but he was not in a hurry, but was observing. This was not an easy job, and it seemed impossible to do it in his opinion.

But Lord Wang has done some things well and has a foundation, so he has to complete them.

And he was also waiting for an opportunity, and now he felt that this opportunity has come...

At this moment, Xiang Qi was still talking loudly, or mocking him.

He was once under Xiang Tai's suppression, and the vassal states in the northwest followed the leader of Heng Kingdom, which made him extremely dissatisfied.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to retaliate, how could he not vent his anger?

Looking at Xiang Tai's appearance, he felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, why don't you talk? I am King Yuan, don't you know me anymore?"

"Do I want you to give you some wine money and ask you to buy wine?"

He said, but Xiang Tai didn't seem to know him at all, and just held the wine pot and ignored him.

"Why pretend not to know me?"

Xiang Qi turned around and shouted to the people watching around him: "Do you know who this person is?"

"He is the once famous King Xiang Tai of Heng. Do you know?"

People around him pointed and laughed constantly.

A high-ranking and powerful figure is now in decline, which many people are willing to see. In fact, the fundamental reason is human psychology.

The word "sour" is enough to explain.

Now he is like everyone else, even humbler than them, which makes others feel more sickly.

Of course, Xiang Qi is even more so.

Xiang Tai became the object of mocking everyone.

Dugu Xin couldn't stand it anymore.

If we say that the previous defeat was Xiang Tai's responsibility, because he was in charge at that time, but the decisive battle he personally commanded and suffered a complete defeat, which caused this situation.

Therefore, Xiang Tai actually took the blame for him, which made Dugu Xin feel a little guilty.

Moreover, he felt that Xiang Tai was not what outsiders said. He had great talents and was a truly righteous person, but he was depressed by the blow...

Dugu Xin sighed lowly and said, "Okay, Xiang Tai has become a useless person. He has no value anymore. Let's hurry up and discuss how to fight the enemy!"

"That's right, he's just a waste."

Xiang Qi changed the subject and said, "But Your Majesty has an order. Although he was demoted to the common people, he still had to commit crimes and make meritorious service. He had to give him this opportunity."

"What do you think, Lord Shangzhuguo?"

Before Dugu Xin could speak, he continued, "In this way, I will give him a chance to come to my command to be a soldier who charges. I will give you two days to report and deal with military law!"

"You heard it, King Heng!"

"Ha ha!"

Xiang Qi left with a big laugh.

But the people around did not disperse. They surrounded them and kept mocking them. Some even fists and kicks and kicks were seen by Xiang Wen. He remembered what Wang Kang said to him.

When a person falls to the bottom and suffers all the hardships, when he rises, he will have stronger power. At this time, he also needs the most opportunity...

As night falls, cold wind storms.

The streets are empty and hard to see.

But Xiang Tai curled up in the corner of the street and sat blankly. He wanted to drink, but he had no alcohol.

It's not that he didn't go, but that he didn't want to go.

In fact, although he was demoted, he still had prestige in the army. He had treated the people well, and these had accumulated fame for him.

He has shelter, but he doesn't want to be sheltered.

Because his heart was dead.

At this moment, Xiang Wen appeared and he handed a wine pot to him.

Xiang Tai didn't even look up, but picked it up and drank it in big mouthfuls...

"Wine can anesthetize the body, but it cannot anesthetize the heart. King Heng, are you going to continue like this?"

Xiang Wen said in a low voice: "Everyone knows that the failure of this war is not your fault. It will be the same if anyone else is. This country has rotted from the root!"

"The reason you are decadent is not because of defeat, but because you are disappointed in this country, right?"

Xiang Tai was slightly stunned. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "You go, this is not where you come."

"Do you know what I'm going to do?"

"Wang Kang occupied Changning City, and no noble Shiqing could live, but you survived. There was only one possibility. You worked hard for Wang Kang!"

Xiang Wen said, "I am worthy of being King Heng, I already know my purpose."

"It's ridiculous. If it weren't for Wang Kang, I wouldn't have fallen to this point. Now he is here to look for me again. You go. You have seen my current situation. I have no value."

"No, you have."

Xiang Wen said in a deep voice: "Do you just want to keep being decadent like this and be trampled by others?"

Xiang Tai didn't say anything.

"Mr. Wang said that you are different from other princes and kings in Chu State, and he values ​​you very much."

"Follow me?"

Xiang Tai said sarcastically: "What can he give me?"

"dignity!"

Xiang Wen said in a low voice: "Under the weaving of Emperor Chu, you have become a sinner of the Great Chu, without status or dignity, but you still have the opportunity to change your lifestyle. Isn't this the most important thing?"

"dignity?"

Xiang Tai whispered, and his already dead heart had a fluctuation.

"Your family is here, and they are not hurt at all."

Xiang Wen said, "This is not a threat, but a relief for you. Now you should understand..."

Xiang Tai remained silent, and Xiang Wen didn't say anything. The two of them stayed in the cold wind until it was almost dawn that Xiang Tai finally stood up.

"Only half of the troops that were defeated and withdrawn were mine, and the others were reinforcements from the court. They only followed Dugu Xin's orders."

Xiang Tai said, "But Dugu Xin still wants to reuse mine, I know what to do..."

"Congratulations, you made the right choice."

Xiang Wen smiled and said, "I finally didn't get frozen for a whole night."

“I have a problem.”

"You said."

Xiang Tai said in confusion: "Why are you so sincere to Wang Kang?"

“Because of trust.”

Xiang Wen said, "He sent me to Pingguo. This kind of unreserved trust deserves my allegiance..."

Xiang Tai said in a low voice: "No one can compare to Wang Kang in this regard."

“It’s true.”

Xiang Wen echoed: "But once you become your own person, you will find that it is completely different."

"Are you my own?"

Xiang Tai murmured, and he stood up and walked towards the palace. He happened to meet a patrol soldier who came over. This was his former deployment.

"The King."

The leader's subconscious greetings.

"I'm no longer King Heng."
