Chapter 864: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger
"Old Eighteen, although we came earlier than you, it is not necessarily right to say that we want to know Xiangzhou Mansion better than you." A sly look flashed in Xia Yuanshen's eyes, and he glanced at Xia Yuanxu indifferently, and then a serious look appeared on his face, and he said loudly.
"Brother Seventeen, what do you mean by this?" Hearing Xia Yuanshen's words, a touch of surprise flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he didn't seem to understand Xia Yuanshen's words very well.
"The three of us came to inspect Huaibei County at the behest of our father, and we originally thought about how to solve problems for our father and help my father do what we could, who knows, when we first arrived in Xiangzhou Mansion, we could still enter and leave freely, however, since Lord Gu Chaoru was transferred by my father to Huaibei County as the governor, our situation has become very embarrassing." When Xia Yuanshen said this, he sighed deeply and said half-truthfully.
"Gu Chaoru is the governor of Huaibei County, but Brother Seventeen, the three of you are at the behest of your father, does he dare to do anything to the three of you?" Hearing Xia Yuanshen's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, although Gu Chaoru is very powerful, but if he wants to deal with the three of the seventeenth brothers at once, it seems that he is a little weak, besides, Gu Chaoru came to Xiangzhou Mansion later than the three of the seventeenth brothers, with the means of the seventeenth brother, how could he not have achieved the slightest achievement during this time.
"What kind of person is Gu Chaoru, the old eighteen should have a deep understanding, do you think that Chen Zhi'an dared to attack you just Chen Zhi'an's idea, or is Chen Zhi'an so stupid, knowing that if you offend the prince, even if you don't have any real power, what will happen to the prince. No, Chen Zhixin is very aware of the fate and price of offending the old eighteen, but he still makes this choice, which means that he has no fear. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yuanshen's mouth, with a hint of mockery, and he glanced at Xia Yuanxu indifferently, if Xia Yuanxu hadn't figured out Gu Chaoru's personality, strength and means, then Xia Yuanxu was planted in Gu Chaoru's hands this time, and it could be said that he was not wronged at all.
"Or it can't just be said that Chen Zhian has no fear, but Chen Zhian has been instructed and guaranteed by Gu Chaoru, so Chen Zhian will be like this." Seeing that Xia Yuanxu's face was written with some circles, Xia Yuanshen's eyes flashed with some contempt, just such a reaction and IQ, and still thinking about obtaining the right to operate Xiangzhou Mansion, and also thinking about gaining greater power, if it were not for Shen Yan's escort, the old eighteen estimated that there would be no scum left now.
"So I was beaten by Chen Zhi'an, was it Gu Chaoru's idea?" Xia Yuanxu pondered for a moment, and seemed to have comprehended from Xia Yuanshen's words, and said with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.
"As soon as the old eighteen came to Xiangzhou Mansion, there was such a big battle, Gu Chaoru didn't have any ideas in his heart, it was impossible, after all, Gu Chaoru represented the identity of the second brother, you are robbing the second brother's territory, as the most important subordinate under the second brother, how could Gu Chaoru let the old eighteen get your wish." A faint but confident smile flashed in Xia Yuanshen's eyes, and he glanced at Xia Yuanxu indifferently, as if he was helping Xia Yuanxu analyze.
In fact, Xia Yuanshen didn't have such a good heart to help Xia Yuanxu analyze, but told Xia Yuanxu in disguise, in addition to the consequences of all this today, in addition to the reason why you have no vision, the more important thing is that the second brother wants to eradicate you, if you really have any ideas and abilities, go to the trouble of the second brother, and by the way, eradicate Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhi'an.
Xia Yuanshen's idea is to drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger.
Originally, in Xia Yuanshen's eyes, Xia Yuanxu was not a wolf at all, not even a dog, however, Xia Yuanxu had a very strong Shen Yan by his side, and the most critical Shen Yan had a very powerful armed force in his hands, in addition to the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army, Shen Yan also mastered the privileged department of the Jinyi School, as for the positions in other departments, although Xia Yuanshen was not very optimistic, but for Shen Yan, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, with Shen Yan's support and assistance, Xia Yuanxu could be regarded as a wolf, However, to Shen Yan, this wolf seems to be a bit like a Zhongshan wolf.
However, whether Xia Yuanxu is a wolf in Zhongshan is nothing to Xia Yuanshen, and it cannot pose any threat to Xia Yuanshen, of course, this premise is that Xia Yuanshen can successfully shift Xia Yuanxu's gaze to the head of the second prince Xia Yuanjie.
Xia Yuanshen was not worried that Xia Yuanxu would retaliate against him afterwards, if Xia Yuanxu and Xia Yuanjie did it, the two would only end up losing both, don't look at Shen Yan's strength is very strong, but compared with Xia Yuanjie, who has been in business for decades, Shen Yan's strength is still lacking.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Xia Yuanxu didn't get involved with Xia Yuanjie, as long as Xia Yuanxu or Shen Yan moved Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhi'an, or took away the management rights of Xiangzhou Mansion, Xia Yuanjie would definitely keep it in mind, with Xia Yuanjie's mind and personality, Xia Yuanjie would also take the initiative to find trouble with Xia Yuanxu, so no matter whether his plan to drive away the wolf and the tiger can succeed or not, Xia Yuanxu will not and cannot find himself afterwards, and his own move to drive the wolf and the tiger is just his own hand.
"Damn." After listening to Xia Yuanshen's words, a trace of obvious anger flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, his hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were fully displayed, as if he was really angry.
"Second brother, I hope you are safe in Jibei County and Mengbei County, otherwise, when I have the corresponding strength, I will definitely want to have a good theory with you."
"Old eighteen, the second brother is good in Jibei County and Mengbei County, the second brother especially has an extraordinary reputation in Mengbei County, and he has stood on the wall of the border pass several times to chat with the border generals, although he has not completely won the hearts of these border generals, but as long as it takes a while, there is no such possibility with the means of the second brother. Besides, the governor of Mengbei County also takes care of the second brother, if it weren't for the lukewarm relationship between the general Tao of the Jinling Left Army and the second brother, I am really worried that the second brother will run Mengbei County into his own sphere of influence. Hearing Xia Yuanxu's words of gritted teeth, the corners of Xia Yuanshen's mouth showed a brief look of pride, but there was a trace of seriousness written on his face, and he glanced at Xia Yuanxu, who was excited, and said as if persuading.
"The second brother has been in business for so long, and it is natural that he can obtain such strength, however, this world belongs to the father, as long as the father is in one day, no matter how strong the second brother's strength is, he can't afford to set off the slightest storm." After Xia Yuanshen's enlightenment, Xia Yuanxu's expression seemed to calm down, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said indifferently.
"Having said that, it is not very easy to deal with us younger brothers who have no foundation with the strength of the second brother." Seeing Xia Yuanxu calm down so quickly, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yuanshen's eyes, and he said slowly with a hint of fanning the flames.
"Yes, the second brother does have such strength, but he also needs this courage." Hearing Xia Yuanshen's words, a faint surprise flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he said disdainfully.
