Xi Yu said apologetically again: "Your Majesty, I was unable to come to pay my respects yesterday. I am really because I am too tired. Please forgive me for your crime."

Liu Xie smiled slightly and said gently: "Your dear don't have to be too polite. You should have a good rest when you are tired."

However, Liu Xie knew in his heart that Xi Yu's apology was just a formal etiquette.

He clearly realized that now he had lost his former imperial power, while Xi Yu was becoming more and more powerful and could already ignore his existence.

There was a dull atmosphere in the room, with Liu Xie and Xi Yu silently facing each other, and their thoughts were silently communicating.

Liu Xie stared at Xi Yu quietly, with a trace of helplessness and worry flashing in his eyes.

He understood that his status was no longer as before, and Xi Yu's rise had become a fact that cannot be ignored.

Xi Yu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to face Liu Xie's eyes. He knew in his heart that although Liu Xie was tolerant on the surface, he had become alert to his power deep in his heart.

In this quiet atmosphere, time seems to have frozen.

Liu Xie and Xi Yu both knew that the relationship between them had undergone subtle changes, and the balance between imperial power and powerful ministers had been broken.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will take my leave for the time being." Xi Yu said.

After Xi Yu left, Liu Xie fell into deep thought.

As Xi Yu left, the room returned to tranquility.

The next day, a soldier walked in lightly while Liu Xie's contemplation, breaking the silence inside the house.

He lowered his head and knelt beside Liu Xie, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the king is waiting outside the hall and is ready to discuss state affairs with you."

Liu Xie nodded slightly, stood up, and tidied up his clothes.

Soon, Xi Yu arrived. This time, Xi Yu and Liu negotiated the implementation of constitutional monarchy.

After all, this incident has been told to Liu Xie a long time ago, so Liu Xie was no longer surprised when he heard this.

He knew that Xi Yu would say such things to him sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, this day finally arrived.

"Everything is in your hands, you can do it, I believe in you."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he smiled bitterly. No matter what, he, the emperor, could continue.

It is always better than other kings who have lost their country.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I plan to build a large palace for you in Youzhou. If you live there, you will be your palace in the future."

Liu Xie nodded. It was so good. If he only lived in Xi Yu's house in the future, that would not be the case.

After that, Xi Yu retreated.

As night fell, the lights were on, and the lights were brightly lit in Xi Yu's mansion. Xi Yu summoned a group of soldiers and held an important meeting.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was tense and serious.

Xi Yu sat in the first place and looked firmly at the soldiers below. His voice was filled with unquestionable decision: "Now, the entire Central Plains is basically about to fall into our hands, but there are still a few small princes scattered in some small places, stubbornly resisting. I decided to send someone to inform them and let them surrender immediately. If we do not surrender, we will destroy them in one fell swoop. This matter must be completed within ten days."

Xi Yu's words were loud and loud, and the soldiers couldn't help but straighten their backs and look solemn. They understood that this was a key battle, which was related to Xi Yu's hegemony and the unity of the Central Plains.

At this time, Zhou Yu stood up, bowed with his fists, and said, "Sir, those little princes are just mantis chariots, and we will be able to defeat them quickly."

Zhao Yun also echoed: "Sir, our troops are strong. As long as we attack with one move, they will not be able to fight back."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that his soldiers were very morale and full of confidence in victory.

Xi Yu stood up and looked around everyone, his eyes full of determination and fighting spirit.

"Everyone, we must not only have strong force, but also make wise decisions. We must exchange for the greatest victory at the lowest price." Xi Yu said firmly.

The soldiers nodded one after another, indicating that they understood Xi Yu's meaning.

At this time of challenges and opportunities, Xi Yu and his soldiers are ready to face the final battle.

They were determined to eliminate the small princes in one fell swoop and achieve the unification of the Central Plains.

This day is destined to be extraordinary. It carries the expectations and determination of Xi Yu and his army, and moves towards victory.

Xi Yu discussed the list of the little princes with everyone, and then sent people to lobby.

Originally, Xi Yu planned to write a letter to them, similar to a letter of persuasion, but after thinking about it, let's just forget it.

Just ask someone to pass the message verbally.

Because they themselves are not as weathered, they probably will surrender in the end.

It was another night, when the lights were on, Dongfang Hong, Wenxuan and Xi Yu gathered in a restaurant to celebrate Xi Yu's successful return.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated, with three people sitting around a round table filled with hearty dishes and fine wine.

Dongfang Hong and Wenxuan raised their glasses to congratulate Xi Yu, and Xi Yu responded with a smile.

After drinking for three rounds, Xi Yu's mood gradually declined.

Dongfang Hong and Wenxuan noticed his changes.

Dongfang Hong asked with concern: "Xi Yu, what's wrong with you? Today is a happy day, why are you depressed?"

Xi Yu sighed, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly: "Wan'er's grandfather has passed away. According to the etiquette, I must be mourning for three years before I can marry Wan'er."

Dongfang Hong comforted softly: "Xi Yu, this is an unchangeable fact. We should respect the etiquette system and give Wan'er some time."

Xi Yu frowned and said in annoyance: "But I don't want her to wait for me for three years."

Wenxuan couldn't help feeling dissatisfied and criticized: "Xi Yu, you are now accompanied by beautiful relatives, but you are still greedy for Wan'er. Could it be that you are eating the one in the bowl and watching the one in the pot?"

Xi Yu's face changed and he quickly explained: "Wenxuan, I misunderstood. I'm going to Wan'er... It's just that this sudden change made me not know what to do for a moment."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little nervous, Dongfang Hong hurriedly smoothed out and said, "We will only celebrate joy today, not worry, come and drink!"

Xi Yu looked at Dongfang Hong gratefully, picked up the wine glass, and the three of them drank it all together.

The restaurant was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the three of them drank happily, temporarily forgetting their worries.

On this celebration night, their friendship became deeper.

Although Xi Yu still had troubles in his heart, his mood gradually calmed down with the company of his friends.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves and spread on the ground. Xi Yu came to Wan'er's guest room with a heavy heart.

Xi Yu knocked on the door gently, and soon Wan'er came to open the door in person. When she saw Xi Yu, a happy smile appeared on her face.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Xi Yu seemed a little hesitant. Wan'er seemed to notice his uneasiness and asked softly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Yu sighed, pulled Wan'er aside, and revealed his troubles.

Wan'er listened quietly, tears gradually surged in her eyes. She understood that Xi Yu's concerns were not unreasonable, but she also knew that her grandfather's death was an unchangeable fact.

Wan'er held Xi Yu's hand and said gently: "King, this is the arrangement of fate, we cannot violate it. If the King really likes Wan'er, Wan'er is willing to wait for three years."

Xi Yu was shocked. He looked at Wan'er and felt her affection for him.

He held Wan'er's hand tightly and said, "Wan'er, I feel extremely relieved by your understanding and support. I will wait patiently, and our love will definitely stand the test of time."

Wan'er nodded, tears rolling in her eyes. She threw herself into Xi Yu's arms and felt his warm hug.

In the silence of this morning, Xi Yu and Wan'er rely on each other and their hearts became stronger.

Luoyang, Sima family.

Sun Jianlong sat in the room with a gloomy face. His eyes fell on Youzhou on the map, and he made up his mind secretly.

"I decided to go to Youzhou." Sun Jianlong said to the old servant firmly.

The old servant frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Young Master, are you going to Youzhou..."

"If you want to kidnap Xi Yu's relatives, you must start from Youzhou." A trace of determination flashed through Sun Jianlong's eyes.

The old servant felt a little nervous. He knew what the young master’s decision meant. He whispered: “Young master, be careful about everything.”

Sun Jianlong nodded, got up and put on his cloak, and walked outward.

Outside the door, a horse was waiting for its owner.

Sun Jianlong turned his horse on his back, pulled the reins and galloped towards Youzhou.

The sound of horse hooves resounded on the streets of Luoyang, gradually moving away. Sun Jianlong's figure disappeared on the horizon in the distance, leaving behind a silence and mystery.

When Sun Jianlong came to Youzhou, he learned that he needed to apply for a visa to enter this mysterious land.

He stood at the gate of Youzhou, looking at the tall city walls and closed city gates, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He originally planned to complete the task as soon as possible, but now he is troubled by the visa problem.

Sun Jianlong found the visa office next to the city gate and explained his purpose to the visa soldiers.

"I need to apply for a tourist visa and enter Youzhou as soon as possible." Sun Jianlong said anxiously.

The visa officer glanced at him and said slowly: "It's okay to apply for a tourist visa, but it can only stay for seven days at most."

Sun Jianlong's heart sank. Seven days were obviously not enough for his mission. But in order to enter Youzhou, he had to agree.

"Okay, then apply for a tourist visa." Sun Jianlong said helplessly.

The visa soldier took out a form and handed it to him. Sun Jianlong quickly filled in his information.
