"I didn't expect to see you here, it's an old friend......" Chu Xianzhao's fingers brushed lightly over the sword box.

"Father!" Zhu Zhai covered the arm that was broken by Chu Xianzhao, staring at the white-haired young man who was stroking the sword box, and his lips pursed tightly.

Zhu Gaotao glanced down at his son, then at Chu Xianzhao, shook his head and said, "It's all some children......"

"Immediately asked the palace to find a royal doctor, saying that the prince's arm was broken. After Zhu Gaotao gave an order to Hu Cong, he turned to Chu Xianzhao and asked, "Child of the Shen family, what is your name?"

"Tang Huang, I am now Tang Huang, the Tang Huang of the Shen family. ”

Tang Huang ...... Very good! There is Huang in the name, and there is the emperor in the fate, this name is really good!" After Zhu Gaotao laughed, he said a big rebellious sentence, "You are more like the emperor than Zhao Wentian, and you may not have the opportunity to become the emperor in the future." ”

After Chu instantly summoned the King of Zhejiang Han to leave with Zhu Zhai, his nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Ziluo walked up to Chu Xianzhao and asked in a low voice, "Is there really a problem with the sword in this sword box?"

"It's not something that ordinary people can master, and of course I'm fine. "Chu Xuanzhao is rare and shameless once.

"Why do you know that there is something wrong with the sword box, who are you?" Ziluo asked calmly.

Chu Xianzhao said lightly: "Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know, I believe that Miss Zi also has a lot of secrets, the reason why I took control of this sword, in addition to hoping to get the sword box, I also want your reputation to be damaged. Miss Zi can continue to auction the sword box, and I will bid 10 million. ”

Ziluo's brows tightened, and her heart was very entangled.

Although he didn't want to tell himself why Zhu Zhai was eaten by the power of the ancient sword and he didn't, his move undoubtedly saved the reputation of the auction house, and they owed him a favor.

Ziluo didn't hesitate any longer, bowed deeply to the guests who were looking at each other, and said: "Such a thing happened at the auction conference, which disturbed the VIPs, and the auction house will send you a little apology later, as for the ownership of the sword box, the concubine body now needs to ask for instructions from above, please wait for a while." ”

After saying that, she left in a hurry, the sword in the sword box would actually kill the holder, which was something that the auction house could never have imagined anyway.

If they really killed the prince of Zhehan, they would not be able to bear this responsibility no matter what, and after Chu Xuanzhao successfully saved the prince of Zhehan and completely suppressed the ancient sword, he had already persuaded her in disguise to some extent.

Now she's going to the boss behind the auction house.

The members of the Zhao family's dragon family said that there were not many people, and there were many people who said less, but in Zhao Huailong's generation, there were only a dozen people who could be named dragon species, and most of them died in his hands, except for the three younger brothers who were the same mother as him, namely Zhao Wei, the king of Langya, who is now guarding the border, Zhao Hui, the king of Lanling, and Zhao Yan, the prince of Xiao.

Except for the two feudal lords who never got along, Prince Xiao was the only one who stayed in Luoyang as a prince and did not go to the domain.

When the old emperor Zhao Bai swallowed the elixir for the treatment of typhoid fever, he suddenly died in the early morning of the next day, and the Daqing Palace appeared overnight in the chaotic position of the dragons without a leader, and then the queen was hanged in front of the main gate, full of daggers, the prince Zhao Yuan fell into a passive situation of losing his father and mother for a while, not only did not conceal the death of the emperor under the strong advice of a series of loyal courtiers such as the royalist party, and immediately ascended the throne as the emperor, but washed his face with tears all day long and was depressed.

As everyone knows, in just three days, Zhao Huailong, who was supposed to be in Xinyang after the crown prince Zhao Yuan ascended the throne, somehow obtained the strong support of the Dragon Protector Legion and the military department, and launched a series of assassinations against the rest of the Zhao family dragons, hundreds of Zhao family members, including those babies who were still swaddling, were killed by him overnight, and the corpses were piled up in a small room in the Qianyang Palace by him, sprinkled with fire oil and burned clean.

Until Zhao Huailong found the crown prince Zhao Yuan with a cloak and put a sword against his neck to force him to hand over the edict, Zhao Yuan, who was cowardly and gentle, handed over the edict without a trace of resistance, and then was also killed by him with a sword.

In the end, Zhao Huailong took the edict stained with dragon blood, and after letting his henchmen ring the dragon bell, he held the edict that said the prince ascended the throne in front of the civil and military officials, but the name that was read out was Zhao Huailong's accession to the throne.

Except for his mother Zheng Guifei and his three younger brothers and one sister, the entire palace had disappeared completely, and the people of the Southern Continent did not dare to say a word about Zhao Huailong's brutal actions, because the dragon would still fly over their heads.

Since ancient times, there have been many examples of vassal kings being difficult to claim the title of emperor, but only Zhao Huailong can do the matter of the prince killing the prince and ascending the throne after the emperor's death.

As for the reason why Zhao Huailong rebelled, the Luoyang magnates have discussed it countless times in private over the past few decades, some people say that it was the eldest son Zhao Huailong, who was capable and skillful, who should have become the crown prince, and the queen blew the wind on the old emperor, so she set up the cowardly Zhao Yuan as the prince.

It is also said that when Zhao Huailong was a child, he accidentally pushed down the prince and was slapped a few times by the queen, but the old emperor was indifferent when he learned about it, and was hated by Zhao Huailong, otherwise why would he kill the queen in such a terrible way before the rebellion.

Some people even say that he and Zhao Huailong are in love with the crown princess Qiu Yeli in private, because Zhao Huailong killed Zhao Yuan and became the emperor after marrying Qiu Yeli as the queen, and she is also the biological mother of Zhao Xi, the dragon fairy of Qing'an.

And whether these secrets are true or not is only known to Xiao Wangye, who is known as the "Dragon of the Hidden Sea".

"My lord, something happened to the auction house again. ”

Ziluo came to the deck of the painting boat, and this middle-aged man with outstanding demeanor stood in front of the railing of the painting boat, looking at the setting sun outside the city.

In the eyes of the men in the auction room, Ziluo is a peerless beauty who has captivated the world, but in front of this man, her beauty seems to be the green leaves that set off the roses.

This man is the first person in the history of the world's beauty list to rank among the top three as a man, and when any beauty stands in front of him, the name of the beauty will only belong to him.

Most of the members of the Zhao family's dragon family are absolutely beautiful and not like mortals, and the beautiful golden eyes inherited from two generations can charm most of the women in the world. The afterglow of the sunset illuminates the man's pupils like molten gold.

He sighed softly, put away the bone fan in his hand that said "Don't use the hidden dragon", his long hair shawl was like a waterfall, facing the water of the Qinhuai River thoughtfully.

He said softly: "You see that this Qinhuai River is not like a giant snake around the corpse, fat powder, fine wine, beautiful women, the taste of power is as strong as blood, attracting every foreigner who comes to this city." ”

The man turned around slowly, and if the elderly ministers in the palace saw him at this time, they would definitely open their eyes in great surprise, thinking that they had seen the empress dowager of the previous generation.

Xiao Wangye stood in the sunset and smiled slightly, obviously a man over fifty years old, but no one could deny his softness, his golden eyes refracted a faint light in the sunset, not at all like a man who was fifty years old and relied on his son's help, but like a young man like clear water.

The men felt ashamed of themselves in front of him, and even the beauties inevitably felt that they were vulgar fans.

Xiao Wang Ye sighed softly and said, "It's that kid again, right?"

Ziluo relayed to him what had just happened in the auction room.

After hearing this, Xiao Wangye's smile bloomed like a flower, and said: "This king likes this child, 10 million taels of silver to buy a sword box of unknown origin, such a big deal is only available to the Shen family, since he helped us deal with such a big trouble, this sword box will be given to him, just give him a favor, this king will go with you to meet him, can let my arrogant niece take him as an apprentice, it should be a good sword seedling." ”

Ziluo comprehended Xiao Wangye's words and asked, "I saw it just now, this sword box is not an ordinary product, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a city, do you really want to give it to him for nothing?"

Xiao Wang Ye said: "Actually, we still take advantage, if the prince of Zhejiang and Han is killed by the sword box, the pros and cons of this must be able to think clearly about your little brain, this time it is an indirect friendship with the Shen family, you also know, now the Northern Regions have begun to move, Zhao Wentian This kid often makes me feel uneasy, it is not an exaggeration to use the word tyrant to describe him, he and Queen Zhao's girl have been spoiled by my brother since childhood, once the Northern Regions march south, I Qingguo will directly face their offensive." All wars in the world are wars of money, and when the time comes, don't you need to ask these merchants to borrow money to fight? The Shen family should be regarded as one of the richest families in my Qingguo, and I noticed this child very early, I didn't expect Shen Sanqian to have such an illegitimate son with strong swordsmanship, how can such a talent not be used by my Daqing, blame my small-bellied brother for demoting Shen Sanqian out of Luoyang, Shen Sanqian can't be befriended, then make good friends with his only son, and when he becomes the head of the Shen family, he will also be close to the royal family, let's go, it's okay to move the old bones of this king. ”

Ziluo sneered and quipped: "Adult, you are not old at all, and people believe you when you walk on the street and say that you are a beautiful boy." ”

Xiao Wang Ye said with a smile: "Well, the biggest advantage of having dragon blood is not only that you won't get sick, but also a big benefit of not looking old, when you reach my age, you will be as beautiful as you are now, there are still many young men in Luoyang City who want to see you, and your husband may be angry when the time comes." ”

Ziluo stroked the green silk on her sideburns, lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "I don't know if I can live to be fifty years old, and I can live one day at a time." ”

Prince Xiao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, as long as this king lives for a day, the Queen Mother will not dare to touch a finger of you...... Otherwise, this king would not mind plucking her head with his own hands, just like she did to your mother. ”

Chu Xianzhao carried the sword box off the round platform, and seemed to have regarded it as a bag, and now he was waiting for the auctioneer and the people behind her to give him an explanation.

Those who had not yet left were still whispering beside themselves, and the eldest lady and Shen Chu Xiazi were watching the texture of the sword box, and they couldn't believe that they bought such a thing for 10 million taels.

He slowly recalled what had just happened, and immediately became overjoyed, no wonder so many people like to go to the auction house, it turns out that the pleasure of spending a lot of money is stronger than the siege of the city, it is like drinking a pot of burning knives.

"Tang Gongzi. Someone was talking behind his back, and his voice was full of majesty.

Chu Xuanzhao turned around slightly, and found that there were two strange women looking at him intently, especially the young girl, her pupils were cold, and there was a murderous aura in her eyes, and behind her stood a group of burly and strong red-robed men.

Chu Xianzhao subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword, thinking to himself if these people were here to seek revenge, but he obviously hadn't seen them, and this girl's sharp eyes seemed to be looking at the enemy, and she would pull out her sword from her waist at any time.

"Dare to ask the girl's name. Chu Xianzhao squinted and smiled, posing like a man accosting a woman.

The girl seemed unmoved, and snorted coldly.

The Empress of the Court took a step forward and said in an approving tone: "Tang Gongzi's swordsmanship and spirit are very good, you must know that 10 million taels is almost half a year's tax for me to leave the court, and it can feed thousands of people who have left the court." ”

Chu Xianzhao stood up and bowed to her, and said, "Her Majesty the Empress is serious. ”

The Empress of the Court took a step back, put her hand on Murong Nuanyu's shoulder, and said endlessly: "Tang Gongzi, what do you think of my daughter?"

Murong Nuanyu's face turned red with a brush, and she glared at her mother fiercely.

Chu Xianzhao was also a little stunned, and didn't know how to answer her words.

Empress Murong seemed to be in a good mood today, and laughed and said: "The way you raise the gold card and shout the price is like the emperor raising the battle flag, Daqing has people like you, it is the real death that cannot be overturned, maybe one day...... You will literally raise your own battle flag, just like your name. ”

The two of them passed by Chu Xianzhao and left here, during which Chu Zhaozhao could smell the faint fragrance of flowers, coming from Murong Nuanyu's green silk.

"Leave the court...... "Chu Xianzhao muttered thoughtfully.

Then Chu Xianzhao saw that the VIPs around him hurriedly stood up and bowed in the same direction, he also turned around and saw the man in the dark robe standing next to Ziluo, whose eyes were as golden as hers, like golden roses in her eyes.

The wealthy businessmen and magnates here all have certain qualifications in Luoyang City, and naturally they also know who Prince Xiao is, and they are also a little dumbfounded when they can see Prince Xiao at such a close distance at this time.

The eldest lady gave a heavy blessing to the comer and said, "I've seen Lord Xiao." ”

"Zhang Yan, you're here too. Xiao Wangye looked at her and raised his hand and said: "The friendship between you and me is not polite, your father Zhang Zhengju used to be my teacher, and the teacher is like a mountain, you are also half my sister, why did you see outside?"

The eldest lady bowed and saluted, and said with some surprise: "Why are you here, prince?"

Xiao Wang Ye smiled and said: "This painting boat is mine, and the auction house is also mine, I'll take a look at what's strange." Then his gaze fell on Chu Xianzhao, and grinned: "It's this kid, this kind of money-throwing temperament really follows Shen Sanqian, I have heard everything about you, thank you for saving my sister's husband, if you weren't there at that time, my sister wouldn't have cried to death." ”

Chu Xianzhao was puzzled: "Sister, who are you?"

The eldest lady hurriedly introduced: "Tang Huang, Prince Xiao is the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, and the Grandpa Xiao who you saved from the Guogong Mansion last time is his brother-in-law, hurry up and call Prince Xiao good." ”

"Hello Lord Xiao, why don't we sit down and talk about this sword box. Chu Xianzhao made a gesture of please.

Xiao Wang Ye shook his head and said softly: "This king also knows about this auction item, in order to thank you for reminding you and saving the reputation of the auction house, this king has decided to give you this sword box, you can take it directly." ”

Chu Xianzhao was taken aback, this person actually let him take the sword box directly, and now he saved 10 million taels, and it was given to him by Prince Xiao, this gift of favor was given to him, Chu Xianzhao didn't know whether to accept it for a while.

Xiao Wang Ye put a hand on his shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Ziluo just told me, the sword in the sword box cannot be mastered by ordinary people at all, but you will be able to master its power, the so-called sword with hero, this weapon should be more suitable for you." Anyway, after this matter gets out today, I think that even if I take this sword box out for auction next time, no one will dare to buy it, but it is better to give it to someone in need, and in my friendship with Zhang Yan, the sword box will be given to you. ”

Chu Xianzhao also saw this Xiao Wang Ye for the first time, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, so he bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Wang Ye." ”

Xiao Wang Ye said: "Although you were not born in Qingguo, but your father is a Qingguo after all, since you are back, then naturally I am a citizen of the Daqing Dynasty, and I can actually let my niece who is above the top accept you as an apprentice, presumably your strength is also good, in this case, the door of the royal family will be open for you at any time, if you need the help of this king, go to the palace to find an old eunuch named Song Twist, and say that if you know Xiao Wangye, he will take you to find this king, or find Ziluo." ”

This man gave himself the impression that he was like a person with the demeanor of a king, and the calm smile on the corner of his mouth was very similar to Chu Xiaohua in his memory, and there was a feeling that every time there was a major event, there would be a sense of calmness, which made people rush to admire him for no reason.

"Brother Tang Huang, do you remember what the concubine said just now?"

Ziluo smiled charmingly at him, like a little fox spirit who had been cultivating for many years in the deep mountains and old forests, Chu Xianzhao ignored her beauty trick and said with a smile: "Miss Zi said a lot of words today, I don't know which one it refers to?"

Ziluo didn't speak, kept blinking those peach blossom eyes, inadvertently turning tender, and the atmosphere between the two began to be a little charming.

After the auction was over, Xiao Wang Ye took her back to the deck, and at this time, the passengers on the painting boat disembarked one after another, if you looked closely, both of them could see the young man with the bronze sword box on his back, and his white hair hung down on his back very conspicuously.

Xiao Wang Ye smiled indifferently and said softly: "We took the initiative to make friends with the Shen family this time, I hope this child will not let us down in the future, Ziluo, and socialize with him more on weekdays, maybe we can pull him to our side." ”

"I see. There was a hint of sly sly look on the face of this peerless beauty.
