Chapter 43: The Book of War
"Humph! You people! Don't fool right and wrong here, and there is no willow! Our Xia family is sincerely attached to the royal power, and there is no dissent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Unlike Meng Xingyu's mockery when he heard the surrounding discussions, Xia Li looked a little flustered, but this was just a panic, his heart was shouting loudly, thinking that the royal power would change hands, one day he would be the first person of the younger generation of the Xia family as a matter of course as the quasi-successor of the 'Xia Empire', and when that day he still had to look at other people's faces, at that time, he could do whatever he wanted, and he could have what kind of woman he wanted. 'Xia Empire' is the name he gave to his empire in his heart.
Listening to these whispers around him, Xia Li's face looked a little flustered, and he shouted angrily towards the crowd, as if he was rehabilitating their Xia family, the reason why this is so is because he still doesn't dare to cause the Xia family to become the target of public criticism because of his own reasons, if that is the case, he will become the sinner who caused the failure of the Xia family's plan to usurp power, so that he will not only lose the qualification to become the quasi-successor of the 'Xia Empire', but also become the sinner of the Xia family through the ages.
I have to say that Xia Li's words still played a little bit of a role, and there was a lot less discussion around him. However, it only made some people shut up, but in their hearts they were noncommittal about his words.
'Our Xia family is sincerely attached to the royal power, so there is no dissent? ’
As long as a person doesn't believe his words, not to mention that he is a younger generation of the Xia family who can't speak on behalf of the Xia family on the first day, even if he is the patriarch of the Xia family who says this kind of thing here, the He Yun Empire has been surging because of the Xia family over the years, and many people have seen it, if the Xia family has no prodigal ambitions, even a three-year-old child in the He Yun Empire may not believe it.
However, although the writer was quiet because of Xia Li's words, it was not because of the sentence itself, but because they wanted to see how he would choose in the face of these two princesses and princes who represented the royal lineage of the He Yun Empire, whether to apologize for rudeness, or to be fearless as before?
In a world where the strong are respected, cultivation is commonplace, and everyone has a strong heart, and there are almost no mediocre people.
Everyone understands a truth, that is, whoever has a hard fist is the superior, and who has the absolute right to speak.
They didn't care who was the kingship of the He Yun Empire and who was a subsidiary force, and for some of them, maybe the He Yun Empire was just a small empire that they would pass through on their future path to the 'strong'.
Compared to Meng Xingyu's mockery, Xia Li's 'panic', Mengxingdie's face turned cold again.
Over the years, Meng Xingyu has been 'imprisoned' in the courtyard of the deep palace and does not participate in the world, but he only learned about the past history of the He Yun Empire in books, and Meng Xingdie was deeply touched, knowing that most of these people were talking about trying, and it had reached the point of tension, but he still lacked a fuse to ignite a detonator in his mouth.
However, after all, she is a daughter, and she is soft-spoken, and she can't share the worries of her father and queen mother, she can only pray that her talent will be favored by the Dayu Empire's Holy Cultivation Academy a year later, and with this level of relationship of the Holy Seminary Academy, maybe some high-level leaders of the Holy Cultivation Academy can speak out to protect the royal family of the He Yun Empire, so that the Meng family will no longer be afraid of being swallowed up in the royal power struggle all the time, and his father and queen mother, his younger brother, and his closest relatives will not become victims of the royal power infighting.
At this moment, Meng Xingdie's face turned cold again, just because of the sentence in the surrounding discussions, "The force where his grandmother is located, maybe a word can destroy our He Yun Empire." ’
If he used to think that he would do well in the Holy Seminary in a year's time, he would try his best to win the attention of the senior management of the Holy Seminary
The idea of sharing the worries of her father and queen mother, then because of the appearance of Xia Li, maybe strictly speaking, the appearance of Xia Li's grandmother, her idea may be in vain.
Not to mention whether she can gain the attention of the upper echelons of the Holy Seminary Academy a year later, even if he succeeds, with Xia Li's maternal grandmother's power that is suspected to be not weaker than the Holy Seminary Academy, as long as a word may make the upper echelons of the Holy Seminary Academy unable to protect and the Meng royal power of the Cloud Empire.
After all, the He Yun Empire is only a small empire around the Yu Empire, not a subordinate country of the Yu Empire, strictly speaking, relying on a large amount of gold and silver to support the Yu Empire every year to not be annexed by the Yu Emperor, for the Yu Empire, it is only a nominal blessing, for the same Yu Empire, the blessing of a large empire like the Yu Empire, will not ask and participate in the direct battle of the surrounding small empires.
Not to mention that the Yu Empire will not care about the survival of such a small country as the Cloud Empire, for the Yu Empire, the fall of such a small country represents the emergence of another small country of the same size or even larger, and this new country will also pay a large amount of gold and silver to the Yu Empire, for the interests of the Yu Empire, there is no loss.
"Xia Li, do you really want to provoke the king's authority? Aren't you afraid that you will be involved in the Xia family's head because of you? ”
Xia Li's outrageous remarks towards Meng Xingyu, and the dignity of his younger brother was openly provoked in his words, and Meng Xingdie's delicate face was as delicate as a country and a city, and the anger became thicker, and it was cold to the extreme, making her look even more cold and beautiful, and even moved the king's authority out strictly to maintain Meng Xingyu's dignity.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what you said is a bit serious, I, Xiali, can swear to the sky, strict authority over the king, to His Majesty the King, to Your Royal Highness the Princess, there is absolutely no blasphemy, everything I just said is only for him personally, not for his identity and the royal family behind him."
Regarding Mengxingdie's move out of the king's authority, Xia Li was still arrogant, swearing and continuing to speak, but it was a little hypocritical to make people feel a little hypocritical.
"As we all know, in this world, the strong are respected, and strength is the foundation that determines status, and he, a waste who is born unable to cultivate, why was he born with a golden key, and why is his status high, I have no talent, and I can't compare with Your Royal Highness the Princess. can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation of the Xia family, in front of Your Royal Highness the Princess, you can naturally bow your head and apologize, but he, it is absolutely impossible, I believe that even in my Xia family, there must be many people who support me. ”
Xia Li said sharply, and looked at Meng Xingyu, who was standing next to Mengxing Butterfly, who had been silent since Mengxingdie appeared, with mocking and jealous eyes.
"You're ,,,,,, a big rebel,,,,,,,"
Xia Li's words made Mengxing Butterfly a little angry, yes, the rules of this world are like this, the strong are respected, the weak eat the strong, anyone who does not have the talent for cultivation will eventually be looked down upon even if the power behind him gives him a high status.
It's just that the person in the other party's mouth is her younger brother, which makes her unbearable, and it is even more difficult to swallow this breath, if she can, she will wipe out this disrespectful and rebellious Xia Li on the spot.
looked at Meng Xingyu on the side, when her eyes came into contact with the gaze of her younger brother, what she saw from her younger brother's eyes was soft, the warmth from family affection, and then turned her gaze, looked at Xia Li, and made a decision, even if she tried her best, she would use her strength to defend her brother's dignity, defeat the other party, kneel in front of his brother and kowtow to confess.
"I, and the Meng family of the Yun Empire, the twenty-seventh generation of the princess Mengxingdie, voluntarily issued a war letter to you, win, and you Xia Li knelt down to apologize to my royal brother, defeated, then today's matter has been revealed, and I am not being investigated, do you dare to accept the war letter?"
Mengxing Butterfly looked at Xia Li coldly, the anger in her heart had risen to the extreme, and she gave Xia Li this battle letter word by word.
"Your Royal Highness, are you going to challenge me? Are you sure you're going to challenge me? If I don't dare to do anything to you in normal times, but if Your Royal Highness the Princess insists on challenging me, it is equivalent to giving up your noble identity, and I will no longer have any scruples because you are the princess of the Cloud Empire, and I am not a person who knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, Your Royal Highness the Princess, are you sure you will continue to challenge me? ”
Listening to Meng Xingdie's war letter to himself, Xia Li not only did not panic, but a touch of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked with a slight irony, and at the end of the words, even a trace of history appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"What? You don't dare to take my dream star butterfly's battle book? If you don't dare to answer, apologize as soon as possible, and kowtow ten times, and today's incident should not have happened. ”
Dream Star Butterfly was not repelled by the threat in Xia Li's words, but her little face became more and more cold, and the air around her seemed to be about to condense into ice.
"Okay, since Your Royal Highness the Princess insists on this, then I will take this challenge, but the battle benefits of apologizing and not apologizing are not enough, since it is Your Royal Highness the Princess, should this bargaining chip also be increased? Otherwise, even if I win Xia Li today, it will only be a pat on the ass and leave, which will not do me any good, then if this is the case, I think Your Royal Highness the princess, you don't have to bother talking anymore, today's matter is indeed my Xia Li's fault, it is okay to apologize, but if I want to kowtow to this waste and confess, he is not worthy. ”
Xia Li looked at Mengxing Butterfly, his words were chiseled, and he glanced at Meng Xingyu again, without the slightest respect on his face, and said coldly.
"You ,,,,, you,,,,,, what do you want?"
Mengxingdie couldn't wait to pull out the long sword that had been inserted into the scabbard at this time, and sealed the throat of this prodigal son with a sword, but in broad daylight, she didn't dare to kill people blatantly.
If the other party is just a cross-child with an ordinary identity, it is okay to say, but the other party is the first day of the Xia family's recognized previous generation, if he kills the other party, it is likely that the fuse that will maintain the three major families until now is ignited, and the He Yun Empire will fall into a political crisis again, and at that time, the royal power Meng clan, which is gradually declining compared to the other two major families, will likely fall into an existential crisis, which she does not want to see.
Although she hated this person, Mengxingdie had to consider the overall situation, on the one hand, her pampered brother, on the other hand, her family, her parents, her blood relatives, both of which were very important to her, she could only ask angrily.
"What do I want?"
Mengxing Butterfly was angry, Xia Li looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said: "Since Your Royal Highness the princess you intend to challenge me, then you and I will make a decision, if I lose, I will kowtow in front of everyone and admit my mistakes, if I win, Your Royal Highness the princess, you promise me a request, how to raise?" ”
"What requirements?"
Hearing Xia Li say that she was going to make a request, Mengxing Die's face turned cold, and she could guess that this request that Xia Li was going to make was not a request that was beneficial to her.
