"What?"

Lan Luo's surprised look was obviously not pretending, it seemed that she didn't know many things.

In fact, Xiao Chen didn't know, but he could guess.

From the beginning to the present, the situation has always been firmly in the hands of Long Tenghou, as long as he is willing, he can terminate the gambling contract between Xiao Chen and King Yujun at any time.

But no, the default bet happened.

Even Xiao Chen's knife, which pierced through the King of Yujun, did not stop it.

Let Xiao Chen defeat the King of Yujun in public, making him lose face and be embarrassed.

In the end, King Yujun was a little crazy, and when he wanted to perform a killing move that would end up together, he was easily stopped by Long Tenghou.

Such a scene completely corroborates some of Xiao Chen's guesses.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chen doesn't care much about this, and to this day, he is more open to many things.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the high-powered, terrifying strength of the dragon Tenghou.

In Xiao Chen's heart, he was also treated equally, and he didn't feel that there was anything to be cautious and careful.

Just keep it, and respect for the strong is enough.

"Xiao Chen, you mean that my father deliberately framed you to bear the wrath of King Yujun. ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, Lan Luo hurriedly asked.

"Maybe, but not intentionally, just pushing the boat along. Most of the reason is that this Yujun King died by himself, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the weirdness and would have competed with him. ”

Xiao Chen was relieved: "Don't worry too much about this, your father is in the imperial dynasty, and many times he can't directly offend the royal family and nobles." In a high position, in the interests of the entire dynasty, there must be a lot involved, and you can't express your position at will. ”

"At this time, there is an outsider, if you can help him share the burden, it is naturally the best. Besides, I don't mind, send a favor. After all, he's your father. ”

The tone of your words increased a lot, indicating Xiao Chen's opinion on this matter.

Because you are Lan Luo, even if your father does something wrong, I don't care.

Xiao Chen's meaning was not obvious, but Lan Luo could still hear it.

"Thank you. ”

Feeling a warmth in her heart, Lan Luo thanked her and said goodbye quickly, she had doubts and wanted to ask for an understanding.

After he left, Xiao Chen glanced at the little monk who was still trembling with King Yujun's entourage, and said softly: "If you have had enough, let's go." ”

"Roger. ”

The little monk grinned, and swept away the four old men in the late stage of the Star Monarch with a slap of Heavenly Heart Finger.

jumped in the air and landed in Xiao Chen's back pocket.

The rest of the people immediately felt relieved and relieved.

Only the two Saint Venerables looked at Xiao Chen, their eyes faintly, and there was still some distraction.

didn't want it to be as simple as that, so he let Xiao Chen go.

Injured King Yujun in such a tragic state, their entourage and guards will definitely be jointly and severally responsible, and none of them can escape.

Xiao Chen glanced at them lightly, ignored these people, and left directly.

Hou Mansion, in the study of Longteng.

"Father, this Xiao Chen is really powerful, although he is still only a star monarch. But I think his potential is greater than those princes, and he is fully worthy of the eighth sister. ”

In the room, Long Yan said to Long Tenghou quite excitedly: "In addition, the eighth sister also really likes him, I think it's really good!"

Long Tenghou was reading a book at the moment, and after putting it down, he said, "Forget it, when the people from Lingyin Temple come, let him leave." It's better not to wade through this troubled water. ”

Long Yan said unexpectedly: "Father, isn't this exactly the plan you think? Let the King of Yujun, who came with the marriage certificate, compete with Xiao Chen, and then lose the battle and take the initiative to leave." ”

"Now that the purpose has been achieved, why don't you agree, the eighth sister and Xiao Chen are together. ”

Xiao Chen guessed correctly, from the very beginning, things were under Long Tenghou's control.

King Yujun's trip was to bring his father Prince Yun's marriage letter to ask Long Tenghou for marriage.

Prince Yun is a powerful figure in the current dynasty, and he is very close to the Eight Princes.

The change of the throne, unless there are special circumstances, must abdicate for a hundred years, and choose the best prince from among the princes to inherit the throne.

In other words, the throne of the Yanwu Dynasty can only be for a hundred years.

It is necessary to abdicate and give way to the virtuous, so that future generations can enjoy the resources and the dragon fortune of the dynasty, as well as the supreme imperial power.

In this way, the purpose is to renew the dynasty with fresh blood and ensure that the dynasty remains alive forever.

And in the competition with the surrounding empires and dynasties, maintain their own combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, the dynasty will be ossified, the fortune will decay, and the fortune of the country will fall at any time.

In the ancient dynasties, once it ossified and the fortunes of the country decayed, there was also a risk of extinction.

Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of similar examples.

Not to mention far away, take the powerful Tianwu Dynasty back then, because of the decline of the country's fortunes, it almost perished.

Therefore, the rulers of the major dynasties and empires will not stay for too long, otherwise no matter how wise and powerful you are, the imperial system will inevitably be rigid.

It is something that cannot be avoided, so it must be changed every hundred years, and it must always be dynamic and full of vitality.

Now, the Yanwu Dynasty is in the Yanhuang Dynasty, and the hundred-year period is approaching.

The major princes, the competition is fierce, and the strong people from all walks of life are all in the position.

Long Tenghou didn't want to have anything to do with Prince Yun, but he didn't want to, and he was involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for the throne.

Prince Keyun is powerful, and he can't refuse directly and don't give face.

It just so happened that Xiao Chen appeared at this time.

Long Tenghou thought of a way to use Xiao Chen to thwart the Yujun King and let him take the initiative to withdraw.

This is also a last resort.

Even if he offends Prince Yun because of this, it can be said that it is just a fight between juniors. On the face of Prince Yun, he couldn't find a reason to come to Xiao Chen's trouble.

This matter seems to be seamless, even if it is the king of Yujun himself, he can't think of it at all.

A person who is so smart himself, everything is in his own calculations, how can he be calculated by Long Tenghou.

But that's the case, at this moment, he has been carried out of the Longhou Mansion and passed out. Definitely not, if you have face again, you will come to ask for marriage with a marriage letter.

Looking at his eldest son, he looked up at himself suspiciously.

Long Tenghou said softly: "Do you think, why do I think that Xiao Chen will definitely defeat the King of Yujun?"

Long Yan said with a smile: "Father, you are the king of people, and your eyesight is naturally extraordinary, how can you not see it." Once compared, it is easy to know who is strong and who is weak. ”

Long Tenghou laughed when he heard this, took off the armor on his chest, the heart goggles, and a striking wound on his shoulder. Until now, it has not completely healed, and the festering wound can be seen.

"Father, when did you get injured and a killer came in?"

Long Yan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly got up.

Long Tenghou put the armor and heart goggles back on, and said lightly: "This is what Xiao Chen left last night." ”

"Ahh

Long Tenghou said: "It's okay, don't worry, it's just that healing is a little difficult." ”

That night, the mysterious black-clothed man who watched Xiao Chen dance the knife was the dragon waiting for him.

He originally wanted to take action himself and test Xiao Chen's strength.

Who knew that night, when the moon was in the sky, the white-clothed people in the courtyard danced solo to the moon.

Long Tenghou only glanced at it, and he was shocked and indulged in the exquisite sword technique. In the mottled light and shadow, under the delicate and soft knife light, there is a heart that roars with waves.

Long Tenghou forgot his original goal, quietly watching Xiao Chen's sword skills, and opened his eyes.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Chen inadvertently discovered that after waking up, he was hit by the knife light.

hurriedly ran away, and didn't care much about it, but after dawn, I found the amazing thing about this smear light.

Even he couldn't get rid of it completely, which is really amazing.

After listening to this, Long Yan felt a chill, Xiao Chen's potential was far greater than he imagined.

Unexpectedly, even his father couldn't make the wound heal quickly, this Xiao Chen was really a monster-level demon.

Long Tenghou's eyes were deep, and he said lightly: "Now I know, why did I send him away, it's not that he is not good enough, but too good." My Hou Mansion can't afford to raise such a big real dragon. ”

"I understand, it's just the eighth sister she ......" Long Yan frowned slightly, thinking of his favorite eighth sister, he was also slightly sad.
