When everyone sat down, Zhou Shunhao looked at Li Beixiang and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the two big names?"

Wang Zhentian next to him was stunned, aren't these two friends of the fourth son? Why don't friends know their names?

"Go north under Li. ”

"My surname is Chai, and you call me Lao Chai. ”

Li Beixiang. Zhou Shunhao muttered two sentences, and then applauded: "Good name, really good name." ”

Li Beixiang smiled and said, "I really can't see anything good about this name." ”

"Dare to ask where Li Gongzi is from?" Zhou Shunhao asked with a smile.

Li Beixiang didn't want to say that he was from Shuodong County, but after thinking about it, this Tianyang Sect was gone, and there was nothing to hide. Besides, the person in front of him doesn't seem to have a low status, otherwise this city lord wouldn't be so restrained in front of him.

"Tianyang Zongguo, a person from Shuodong County. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the ...... of the Tianyang Sect" Zhou Shunhao muttered with a smile, but suddenly he shouted out directly: "You said that you are from Shuodong County of the Tianyang Sect?"

Li Beixiang looked at Zhou Shunhao, who was startled, and frowned: "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, I am Li Beixiang of Shuodong County, Tianyang Sect." ”

After a long time, Zhou Shunhao relieved himself, he calmed down a little, and said: "As far as I know, Shuodong County is in the northernmost part of the Tianyang Sect, facing the Northern Barbarian Soldier Peak?"

Li Beixiang nodded and did not speak.

"As far as I know, not a single person in Shuodong County of the Tianyang Sect escaped from the war between them, and the entire county was slaughtered. Yes and no?"

The Tianyin Sect had long known about the fact that the Tianyang Sect was extinguished by the barbarians, after all, there were refugees fleeing to the Tianyin Sect on the border every day.

At that time, the Tianyang Sect was destroyed, and the entire Tianyin Sect was shocked. After all, the Tianyang Sect is gone, and the next one is the Tianyin Sect. Therefore, when the news of the destruction of the Tianyang Sect came out, the entire army of the Tianyin Sect was mobilized and sent millions of soldiers to the border line with the Tianyang Sect.

However, when the barbarians completely captured the Tianyin Sect, they did not march to the Tianyin Sect, but stationed in the Tianyang Sect safely. Not even the border is close.

Zhou Shunhao couldn't believe that the person in front of him was from Shuodong County, because according to reliable information, the entire county town of Shuodong County was slaughtered by barbarians several times. The entire county town was reduced to a dead city, and I heard that the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves came out every night.

Because Shuodong County faced the peak of the barbarians, and it was also the first city to be breached by the barbarians. Therefore, in the entire Shuodong County, there are very few people who can escape.

"Who is this brother next to him?" Zhou Shunhao took a few deep breaths, slowed down, and looked at Lao Chai.

"I'm Childe's henchman, so it's not worth mentioning. Lao Chai shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhou Shunhao couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw Lao Chai sitting next to Li Beixiang with an expressionless face, and he didn't look at himself at all, but he thought about it again, two people who were like lost dogs came to a place where they were unfamiliar with life, and they would inevitably have some vigilance.

"Since the two of them can escape from Shuodong County, the status of the two should not be low. Zhou Shunhao said with a smile.

Li Beixiang suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and looked out of the window.

After a long time, Li Beixiang said with a slight sadness in his tone: "My father, Tianyang Zongguo, Shuodong County, stationed General Zongguo, a powerful general, and the generalissimo Zhenman, Li Duanjiang. ”

"What? You turned out to be Li Duanjiang's son?" Zhou Shunhao's face changed greatly, he never thought that the young man in front of him who looked extremely down-and-out turned out to be the son of Li Duanjiang of the Tianyang Sect.

Li Duanjiang, the youngest, most powerful, and most powerful general in the Tianyang Sect. Even in the Tianyin Sect, there are many people who know Li Duanjiang.

Back then, there was friction between the Tianyang Sect and the Tianyin Sect because of the border issue. Relying on the fact that he was richer than the Tianyang Sect, the Tianyin Sect did not take the Tianyang Sect to heart, and sent more than 500,000 soldiers to the border.

At that time, the Tianyang Sect had just finished fighting with the barbarians, the treasury was empty, and the troops were insufficient, so they were pressed to the ground by the Tianyin Sect and rubbed.

Tianyang Zongguo couldn't swallow this breath, so he transferred Li Duanjiang from Shuodong County to near the border with Tianyin Zongguo.

At that time, Li Duanjiang had just recovered Shuodong County, and the soldiers and horses under his command were all brave men who had been in battle for a long time, and they didn't have the soldiers and horses of the Tianyin Sect in their eyes at all.

No one in the Tianyin Sect has ever heard of Li Duanjiang, after all, Li Duanjiang in the past was indeed not famous. Therefore, he brazenly launched an attack on the Tianyang Sect.

At that time, Li Duanjiang commanded 200,000 troops and fought a battle with Tianyin Zongguo on the border line.

In that battle, Li Duanjiang broke the army of 500,000 Tianyin Sect, killed 170,000, and captured 200,000.

When the news reached the Tianyin Sect, the whole country was shocked, they couldn't believe the news, after all, 500,000 was defeated by 200,000, it was indeed incredible.

This is not the end of the matter, and the incredible is yet to come. Just when the Yin Sect was about to sue for peace and prepare to pay reparations and let Li Duanjiang release the 200,000 captives, Li Duanjiang actually did something that shocked everyone.

On a dark and windy night, Li Duanjiang killed all 200,000 captives.

At that time, when Li Duanjiang killed 200,000 prisoners, Zhou Shunhao was only three or four years old.

"You dare to come to my Tianyin Sect Kingdom, thief, and suffer death. Wang Zhentian's eyes were scarlet, he slapped the table suddenly, stood up, and was about to make a move.

Lao Chai snorted, looked at Wang Zhentian, and stopped in front of Wang Zhentian.

"Hehe, my father died in the hands of Li Duanjiang back then, and today I want to avenge my father. ”

Wang Zhentian's eyes were scarlet, and he was angry.

In that war, Wang Zhentian's father was the commander of the 500,000 army.

After Li Duanjiang defeated the army of 500,000, he arrested Wang Zhentian's father, escorted him to the capital of Tianyang Zongguo, and executed him at Lingchi at Caishikou.

"Stand down!"

Zhou Shunhao looked at the manic Wang Zhentian, frowned and shouted angrily.

"Fourth prince, what are you doing here? Wang Zhentian's face was extremely angry.

Zhou Shunhao glared at Wang Zhentian, and walked in front of Li Beixiang by himself.

Li Beixiang looked at Zhou Shunhao and said coldly: "Hehe, do you want to kill me and avenge the 200,000 captives?" Come on, anyway, my father is gone, and you have no pressure to kill me now." I was helpless. ”

Zhou Shunhao sighed and said, "I didn't mean that, it's all about the older generation, and I don't want to worry about it." Besides, at that time, it was also my Tianyin Sect that was wrong first, if it wasn't for our wanton slaughter of the people of the Tianyang Sect, there would be no such end. ”

"Hehe, you're conscious. Li Beixiang sneered and looked at Zhou Shunhao expressionlessly.

Listen to what he calls you, you are the fourth prince of the Tianyin Sect. ”

Zhou Shunhao laughed and said: "Since you found out, then I won't hide it, that's right, I am the fourth prince of the Tianyin Sect, Zhou Shunhao." ”

Although Zhou Shunhao is the fourth prince of the Tianyin Sect, he is just a concubine of the fourth prince.

In front of the emperor of the Tianyin Sect, he was not favored at all. Although he has a slight reputation in the Tianyin Sect, it is useless.

The emperor of the Tianyin Sect is already over eighty years old, and he may be gone one day.

And now that the emperor's heir, the crown prince, has not yet been decided, all the princes' minds are alive.

Among them, the most obvious advantage is the eldest prince Zhou Shuntian.

Zhou Shuntian is the eldest son of the Emperor of the Tianyin Sect and the eldest prince.

Moreover, the eldest prince has already received the support of most of the civil and military generals in the capital of the Tianyin Sect.

Next down is the second prince Zhou Shunchen, and Zhou Shunchen's power is not under Zhou Shuntian.

Originally, Zhou Shunchen's mother was just a concubine of the emperor, and it stands to reason that even if Zhou Shunchen has a certain amount of power, he can't compare to Zhou Shuntian.

But that's how weird life is. In February last year, the queen, that is, Zhou Shuntian's mother, suddenly fell seriously ill and died.

Shortly after the empress's funeral, at the beginning of this year, Zhou Shunchen's mother was canonized as empress by the emperor.

In this way, Zhou Shunchen can also be regarded as a serious son-in-law. is not much different from Zhou Shuntian's identity.

In the current capital, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty either fell to Zhou Shuntian or Zhou Shunchen.

And Zhou Shunhao's third brother, Zhou Shunba, is a martial idiot who is now leading the army on the frontier. He was not interested in the throne.

Originally, Zhou Shunhao didn't want to compete for the throne, after all, compared with those two, he really didn't have any advantage.

But the world is unpredictable, once the emperor was seriously ill and did not wake up, and only Zhou Shunhao was by his side. And Zhou Shuntian and Zhou Shunchen were busy fighting for power and profit, ignoring the emperor who was already seriously ill.

When the emperor woke up, he found that Zhou Shunhao was the only one around, and his two sisters-in-law were nowhere to be found.

He became angry for a while, and that night, he called the two to the dormitory, and scolded them for being unfilial, rebellious, and his throne would not be passed on to them or something.

The emperor's seemingly normal remarks made Zhou Shuntian and Zhou Shunchen nervous.

Who else can the throne be passed on to the two of them if they don't wear it? The third child is leading troops to fight outside, and it is impossible for him to come back. Besides, the place where the third child stayed was too far away, and it would take at least a year to go back and forth.

In addition to the third child, there is only one fourth child left, and the fourth child usually doesn't see anything, only a little dispensable good name.

Originally, the two didn't take Zhou Shunhao in their eyes at all, but after the emperor made such a confluency, the two regarded Zhou Shunhao as their number one enemy.

In front of the throne, any family affection is fake, and only power is king.
