The Imperial Capital Chapter 4 Xiang Jiangxue
Qin capital Xiang Zhai.
Xiang Baiyi walked up the main road of the imperial capital, looking at the bustling streets and busy people on both sides.
He also wants to be like them, and live his life plainly. Compared with this life of fighting and fighting outside the territory, he prefers that he can live in seclusion without worries.
But dreams are always dreams. He is gone, and who will be responsible for the lives of those who follow him.
After many years of being away, he felt a little strange when he saw the place where he grew up, and the memories of the past turned into pictures in his mind.
The Xiang Mansion is built on the mountain, only under the imperial palace, the four major families stand in all directions, guarding the supreme symbol of the Qin State. Compared with the gorgeousness of the other three, the Xiang family looks bland.
Xiang Baiyi looked at the ancient and simple bronze gate, and a sense of strangeness arose in his heart, he smiled helplessly, what should be faced is always to be faced, so he strode in.
I grew up and frolicked here, but when I came back again, I had a feeling that things were wrong.
I don't know when I became so sad and sentimental, maybe I really stayed outside for too long.
"Congratulations on the triumphant return of the young master!"
Two loud voices said that his thoughts came and went, Xiang Baiyi looked at the two armor soldiers on duty with respectful and worshipful eyes, nodded lightly, and walked in with a sigh.
These two men were naturally his family's government soldiers, not imperial soldiers. The soldiers who can be raised in the mansion are naturally the elite of the elite, and they have the courage to be ten of them. Of course, there are many soldiers who have retired from the front line in the house, who have shed blood and sweat for the Xiang clan and fought on the battlefield, and they will naturally be protected by the Xiang clan after retiring.
It seems that it is a very normal thing for the big clan to have their own government soldiers now, not to mention that it is now the interstellar era, everyone has their own army, but there are still great constraints in this regard, and it is impossible for the Qin clan to let the empire have the hidden danger of overthrowing it, but I heard that there are some big families behind many famous interstellar pirates.
Everyone is naturally compliant and reasonable on the surface, but it is impossible to have no means to save their lives behind the scenes.
Now there are only two main lineages of the Xiang family: Xiang Baiyi and his sister Xiang Jiangxue. In addition to the Qin family, the other three main lineages are not very prosperous, and in terms of numbers, it is naturally the royal family that has more advantages.
Xiang Jiangxue is the only resident in the imperial capital, and she is responsible for almost everything the size of the imperial capital, coordinating the operation of the entire family.
Xiang Jiangxue showed strong force and excellent talent when he was young, compared to Xiang Baiyi, a genius who lived under the glory of his eldest sister at the beginning, and suddenly broke out, is obviously more deterrent, after all, if you want to become the superior of the empire, force is not the only way, intelligence and force are indispensable.
Most of the other Xiang clan people are employed in the army or on other planets to fight and plunder resources, so the huge Xiang Mansion is extremely deserted, and there is no population at all, and for their Xiang clan, the battlefield may be their best home.
Now, the Xiang family is divided into two factions, one is Xiang Jiangxue, who admires the future of the family, and the other is Xiang Baiyi, who serves the young master of the Xiang family.
The Xiang family is now under one person and ten thousand people in the empire, and it has reached the point where its status cannot be promoted, but now it seems that as the eldest sister, she has more advantages and long-term vision.
In recent years, Xiang Baiyi has rarely participated in the management of the clan, and most of them are still managed by Xiang Jiangxue. But now most of the Xiang clan's force is in the hands of Xiang Baiyi, after all, it is easier for soldiers to obey the strong. Xiang Baiyi, the seventh on the list, naturally has a natural advantage.
"Coming back?"
Xiang Baiyi just entered the gate and walked a few steps when he heard the eldest sister's "kind" voice, and secretly said that it was not good to turn around and want to run, people who are really blocking people will be blocked by others sooner or later, and found that it was too late to run away now, so he had to lower his eyebrows and whispered: "Well, I just came back." ”
Syllable!
This silver-haired woman, who has a seven-point resemblance to Xiang Baiyi, gave Xiang Baiyi a slap on the head with her backhand, and mocked: "It's only been a long time, and my temper is good!" I'm a sister, do I want to say hello to you?! ”
"Sister, I'm just ......"
Before Xiang Baiyi finished speaking, Xiang Jiangxue slapped it again, looked at the pitiful younger brother who was holding his head with his hands, and clasped his hands in front of his chest and said domineeringly: "I don't want to listen to your explanation now, why should I go, if you make trouble for me again, you will wait to be locked up in a small black house for the rest of your life." ”
The maids on the side watched this big man on the list become so pitiful, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, sure enough, it is still one thing and one thing, and only this one person in this empire dares to teach the young master like this.
Xiang Baiyi glanced at them angrily, this group of people was really spoiled, if they were placed in other homes, they would have been dragged out and beheaded, but unfortunately he is also unable to protect himself now, and he dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Is this the power of girlfriends? Sure enough, as Yu Zijin's best friend's sister, she didn't stand on her side, and what happened just now naturally couldn't escape her sister's eyes.
"Hmmm......"
Sure enough, the woman is unreasonable, and he naturally has his own reasons for doing this, but he doesn't dare to say it, so he can only think about it in his heart.
"I know you're unhappy, but you are the future of the Xiang family, you must have the bottom in your heart to do what you should do, you are not alone, you represent the attitude of the entire Xiang family."
Xiang Jiangxue knew that the three of them had grown up together since childhood, and this matter was unacceptable to her younger brother for a while, as a best friend, she naturally hoped that she could be happy, but as a person of the Xiang family, she had no choice but to watch all this happen silently, but fortunately, this matter did not make a big deal today.
Now the Xiang family is also walking on thin ice, countless eyes are always staring at them, and she has to be careful and careful.
Xiang Baiyi is not a child anymore, he naturally has his own ideas, it is inevitable that the two will have differences of opinion in the future, at this time, there should be a principal within the Xiang family to unify opinions, but unfortunately this is also one of the problems that the Xiang family is facing now.
"I'm just giving them a warning today, if we can't do it!" Xiang Baiyi has his own pride in his heart, and as a young and famous person, he naturally has his own pride.
Today is to see the attitude of that group of people, I really think that they can cover the sky with one hand in this empire, if it is said that war, he is really not afraid of anyone, of course, they don't dare to tear their faces and grow up to provoke his authority, it must be a little trick above the court. Now I don't know how many grievances have been on the table of Emperor Qin.
Tomorrow, those civil officials will definitely be demons to prove that they are honest and honest as civil officials to seek benefits for the people.
If he could find out who there were, he would have a way to rectify them.
