Eventful autumn, wind and rain.

A small Fengtian alone is just one of many chess pieces, and it is insignificant.

Chu Xuan's real home field has been in the imperial capital from beginning to end.

However, the imperial capital has always been vast, except for the foundation occupied by the Chu family.

There is also Shen An'an, the king of the northern border, the territory under the command of Ye Shuang, the head of the forbidden army, and the remaining two clans, who are also rich and wealthy, like the sky.

These five clans with different surnames hold almost half of the imperial capital, and their influence runs through the military, politics, and business worlds.

Compared with those wealthy families and families distributed in the north and south of the world, and the five clans cannot be generalized at all, and the difference between them cannot be expressed in words.

Outsiders may not understand the terrifying strength of these five clans, but Qin Zheng, who was born and raised in the imperial capital, knows the roots.

This time I came to Fengtian, on the one hand, I was invited to Chu Xuan, and on the other hand, Qin Zheng also wanted to explore Chu Xuan's tone.

After all, given time, the position of the head of the Chu family, if nothing else, will most likely be inherited by Chu Xuan, and at that time, he will be the youngest patriarch among the five clans.

Such an honor basically breaks the existing records and rules.

Because according to the style passed down from generation to generation, after the nine-patterned dragon Chu Cangsheng took over the position of the patriarch from his father, if the idea of retreating to the front line occurred halfway, then this position must be taken over by his peers.

Unless the same generation dies or is really unable to take the big position, then the third generation, that is, the nephews of Chu Xuan's generation, can run.

Now, according to Chu Cangsheng's meaning, he wants to retreat bravely at the peak and directly send Chu Xuan to the throne, which is tantamount to hereditary replacement, and completely kicks several candidates of Chu Xuan's uncle generation out of the camp in power.

It is precisely because of this that the internal turmoil of the Chu family has gradually risen, and on the outside, it seems that it is not in accordance with the rules to hinder Chu Xuan's inheritance of the throne, but in the final analysis, it is just ambition.

In the era of respectful strength, what rules do you still look at?

Some people in the Chu family were not convinced, not because they questioned him Chu Xuan's lack of ability, but because they wanted to hold power and get the position of patriarch.

This person, especially someone with a little ability, wants to seek greater power and be an invincible existence above ten thousand people under that person.

Moreover, the reason why Chu Cangsheng put such a hand was completely special.

After all, the current situation in the imperial capital is very chaotic, and at a critical moment, if the Chu family wants to stabilize its foundation in the chaos, it needs a strong iron-blooded figure to take the stage.

Looking at the Chu family's lineage of nearly 100 people, the only one who is qualified is Chu Xuan!

"When I came on stage, I didn't covet the position of the patriarch, but to defend against the enemy, everyone understands this, but the fourth uncle and a few of them pretended to be confused."

Chu Xuan put his hands behind his back and sneered on his face.

Shen An'an, the king of the northern realm, was determined to fight another battle in tens of thousands of miles around the imperial capital.

The remaining four clans are already in it, and they can't be freed, in other words, you don't want to fight, and you are forced to fight.

Because such a teacher has lived for most of his life, just one dream, either you beat Lao Tzu away, or Lao Tzu will beat you with his backhand.

Want to sit together and divide the country equally?

No way!

The family and the country have always had the final say, who the hell will make the five clans with you and take turns to sit in the village?

Chu Xuan's ascension to the stage can suppress the king of the northern realm to a certain extent.

Therefore, Chu Cangsheng will speed up the pace and operate Chu Xuan to take over the position of the patriarch, so as not to realize it later, delaying the great opportunity for the Chu family to stabilize its foundation.

"In other words, your fourth uncle disregarded the overall situation, put on an endless momentum, and was ready to stop you from taking the position, such a tough method, there must be support from the outside world, might as well guess?"

Qin Zheng lowered his voice and asked.

Chu Xuan was silent, Chu Cangnan's strength was indeed a little, but he didn't have that much courage, this time his tough attitude was a bit excessive, and even Chu Cangsheng felt a little constrained.

This is inconsistent with Chu Cangnan's previous style.

In other words, there is a high probability that he is connected with other clans inside and outside, and to put it bluntly, he is an internal thief.

"The King of the North is keen to subdue and cripple you on the battlefield, this kind of trick to hide in the shadows, he doesn't bother to do." Chu Xuan said with a final word.

This is tantamount to ruling out the covert intervention of the Shen family.

Qin Zheng frowned, "The Ye family? ”

At the beginning, Chu Xuan almost beat Ye Shuang's descendant Ye Bo to death, and the two families once had a deep grudge, and it was reasonable for the Ye family to be suspicious.

However, Chu Xuan shook his head, "Ye Shuang is an old horseman, and he doesn't have the wisdom to play conspiracy. ”

The Shen family, since the Ye family is excluded.

Then the remaining two clans, choose one of the two.

Qin Zheng's brows trembled slightly, and he suddenly caught a chilling meaning.

Chu Xuan clenched the railing with both hands, and his tone was cold, "I probably guessed who was secretly supporting Chu Cangnan." ”

Qin Zheng is also interesting, there are some facts, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

Let's talk to the point.

Rubbing his cheeks here, Qin Zheng, who had returned to his normal state, ran to the living room and continued to play chess with Qi Qingfeng.

Chu Xuan, who had not returned for a long time, was slightly puzzled, poured a glass of boiled water, found Chu Xuan in the courtyard, and gently handed it over, "Here you go." ”

"Thank you."

Chu Xuan expressed his gratitude, and then, those eyes that were bright and uncertain shone from time to time.

Clearly, he was thinking about something.

Qi Dongcao, who was bored, stretched his waist, and the mellow peaks and valleys held high in his white shirt were really magnificent and outstanding.

and with that pair of fair-skinned, straight long legs.

A living stunner in the world.

After being silent for a long time, Qi Dongcao suddenly asked, "Are you free in the afternoon?" ”

"How?" Chu Xuan was surprised, after getting along for so long, it was the first time that Qi Dongcao used such a gentle tone to communicate with him.

"I haven't been shopping for a long time, and I want to go out for a walk."

"Together?"

Qi Dongcao bit her lower lip, looking ashamed of her words, and after finishing speaking, she deliberately looked away and didn't look at Chu Xuan in pairs.

"You see me like a person who likes to go shopping?"

Chu Xuan asked Qi Dongcao rhetorically.

Qi Dongcao was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect Chu Xuan to give such an answer, and finally fell back with an oh word, pretending to be indifferent and turned away.

Or a little sad, why is this man always so straightforward and unemotional?

She is trying to change the relationship between the two, why does he Chu Xuan still go his own way and don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?

"Hey."

Chu Xuan's brows twisted into a line, and he suddenly changed his mind, "What time do you go out?" ”

"No need."

Qi Dongcao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't have the heart to continue communicating with Chu Xuan, so she shrank her little head and left directly.

Chu Xuan, "......"

Isn't it too strong for her just now?

However, the two parties have always been ordinary friends who have known each other for a short time, and it is not a fault to refuse her request in an ordinary tone, right?

Why, in the dark, suddenly feel guilty?
