"Although this is a good thing, I am worried that Xi Yu will be proud and complacent in the future and become a tyrant." Wen Xuan's tone revealed a hint of worry.

Lu Su stared into the distance, his voice firm and calm.

"The king is not such a person. I believe he will not let himself fall into a trap of pride."

Suddenly, Lu Su felt very strange.

How could Wenxuan call Xi Yu's name directly?

So he brought up the situation.

"I often call his name, is there any problem with this?" Wenxuan looked for granted, which made Lu Su feel speechless.

Lu Su thought carefully about the scene when Wenxuan and Xi Yu were together, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

The two people directly call each other by name.

But Xi Yu didn't mean to be unhappy. Could it be that Xi Yu liked Wenxuan?

His face turned red.

Wenxuan immediately understood what Lu Su meant, but she didn't want to defend herself, because sometimes the more she explained, the more she became, the more she was, in fact, it was not like Lu Su thought.

Wenxuan frowned slightly.

"I hope this is the case. Power often changes people, and we cannot take it lightly."

"I understand your concerns, but we cannot be too pessimistic. The king will not be like this." Anyway, Lu Su has absolute trust in Xi Yu.

Wenxuan nodded.

"I hope he can keep his original intention and not be corrupted by power."

At this time, a breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of flowers in the garden.

Wenxuan took a deep breath and seemed to feel relieved.

After a while, Lu Su left, and Dongfang Hong came to Wenxuan's office.

Dongfang Hong smiled and said to Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, Xi Yu has now obtained Luoyang. The next step is to unify the Central Plains. I am very happy and want to share this joy with you."

Wenxuan replied lightly: "What does this have to do with me?"

Dongfang Hong continued, "I want to celebrate with you in the restaurant tonight, and we can chat with you. You no longer have to tutor Xi Yu's son, so you should have time, right?"

Wenxuan answered bluntly: "I don't want to go, I'm not interested in these things."

Dongfang Hong was a little surprised and asked, "Why? Are you not happy about Xi Yu's achievements?"

Wenxuan replied coldly: "Why am I happy for him? He is him, I am me, we have nothing to do with him."

Dongfang Hong tried to explain.

"Wenxuan, don't do this. Xi Yu is our friend, and his success is also an honor for us."

Wenxuan interrupted him.

"Dongfang Hong, do you have to make me so straightforward? Of course I am happy for Xi Yu, but I don't want to be with you alone."

At this moment, Dongfang Hong was stunned.

"I know you like me, but I don't feel anything about you. I hope you don't bother me anymore, it's impossible between us."

Dongfang Hong's face became gloomy, and he clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Wenxuan, I know you don't have any feelings for me. But, I still want to tell you that I like you. I will not give up. I will keep working hard until you accept me." Dongfang Hong's voice was firm and sincere.

Wenxuan's face was slightly moved, but she still maintained a firm attitude.

"Dongfanghong, I am very grateful for your love for me. However, I already have my own life and goals, and I don't want to change. I hope you can understand me, and I hope you can let go of this relationship and find your own happiness."

If a person likes him or herself, then let him or her like him or her very much.

But if you don't like it, it will only make you disgusted.

Dongfang Hong listened silently to Wenxuan's words, and he knew that what Wenxuan said was true.

He felt a little disappointed, but he also understood that he could not force Wenxuan to accept him.

"Okay, Wenxuan. I will respect your choice. However, I still hope that we can maintain a friend's relationship." Dongfang Hong forced a smile.

Wenxuan nodded. She didn't want to lose Dongfang Hong, a friend. "Of course, we are still friends."

Dongfang Hong nodded, walked out quickly, and gradually left the academy.

Dongfang Hong walked alone on the street, feeling very heavy.

His mind kept recalling Wenxuan's words of rejection of him, and his heart was filled with pain and loss.

He didn't know how long he had been away, but he finally came to a restaurant.

He looked up at the restaurant sign, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.

He walked into the restaurant, found a corner to sit down, and waved to the waiter.

"Give me the best wine." Dongfang Hong said in a stiff tone.

The waiter brought him a jar of wine.

Dongfang Hong's face gradually became rosy and her eyes began to become blurred.

His thoughts gradually blurred, and the pain in his heart seemed to have eased a little.

Luoyang.

Xi Yu was wearing a simple and elegant robe and walked steadily on the road.

He followed Zhao Yun, and the two of them wanted to walk around the city.

Zhao Yun whispered: "King, many rich people in Luoyang City recently hope to get to know you. They specially held a banquet, hoping that you can enjoy the glory and go to the banquet."

"Oh, when did this happen?"

Zhao Yun said that when he was also taking a walk last night, many rich people expressed this meaning when they saw him.

It just so happened that Xi Yu asked him to go out today, so he took this opportunity to tell the matter.

Xi Yu frowned slightly. He did not want to get involved in such occasions, but then he thought that it would be inevitable to develop a business association in Luoyang in the future and deal with these people.

So he nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, I'll go and go. When and where?"

"Tomorrow night, Yanyu Tower".

In this way, Xi Yu agreed.

The next day, night fell and the lights were on.

Xi Yu came to the magnificent restaurant Yanyulou in the city.

The restaurant is brightly lit and magnificent. The rich families dressed in gorgeous clothes and gathered together in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

As soon as Xi Yu entered the door, he attracted everyone's attention. The rich people came forward one after another, with smiles on their faces, and flattering words were endless.

"King, you can come to the banquet, which is really a blessing for us in our lives!"

"Yes, lord, we have long been looking forward to you coming here."

Xi Yu responded with a smile, but couldn't help feeling a little bored.

He understood that the purpose of these people was just to gain more commercial benefits through him.

At this time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came up and bowed: "The king, Caomin's surname is Li, is a wealthy businessman in Luoyang City. It is a great honor to meet the king today. This banquet is specially designed for the king, so please take your seat."

Xi Yu thanked him and then sat down at the banquet.

Seeing this, everyone sat around him and continued to chat with him.

After we were kind enough, someone got to the point after a while.

"King, I heard that there is a business association in Youzhou, but I wonder if there is a specific plan here?"

"Master, if necessary, we will support it with all our strength."

Xi Yu sighed in his heart that these people are indeed coming for the business association.

He raised his head and said firmly: "Everyone, Xi Yu thanked everyone for your kindness. The development of the business association is to promote the commercial prosperity of Luoyang City, not for personal gain. If the Chamber of Commerce is established sooner or later, please rest assured."

So everyone became happy, and Xi Yu remembered Youzhou again.

When the business association was established in Youzhou, many businesses were a little unhappy, but there was another scene in Luoyang.

Are the people here with high quality? Or are they looking forward to it because they don’t understand the situation at the moment?

But no matter what, I hope they can continue to be enthusiastic.

Next, everyone began to drink and eat wine enthusiastically.

The next morning, the sun shone in the courtyard, and there was peace.

The soldier who went to report the news hurried back, with a hint of joy on his face.

Seeing the soldiers coming back, he hurriedly came forward and asked, "What's the situation? How did the ladies react when they know it?"
