Chapter 558: A Raccoon Dog
Xiao Zesheng said in his heart, he has been silver since he was a child, and there is no shortage of food. As a child of the Xiao family, even if he is a waste material, his life is much better than that of ordinary people.
"You eat more." Xiao Zesheng broke off the chicken leg in front of him and put it in a strong bowl.
You Zhuang stared at the chicken leg in the bowl and was a little stunned, except for Ji Qiang's kindness to him, in the deep valley village before, he was treated and talked about coldly.
Facing Xiao Zesheng's enthusiastic gaze, he quickly lowered his head and nibbled on the chicken legs.
Knock knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and several people stopped eating and looked outside.
"Third brother." Xiao Rongfeng entered, his eyes swept over Ji Qiang and the others present, his eyes flashed slightly.
Xiao Zesheng was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face at all, but instead let his subordinates add a pair of chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the second brother is back, please take a seat." ”
Xiao Rongfeng looked at him with some surprise, and then sat down calmly: "The third brother has grown up." ”
"I don't know who Your Excellency is?" He fixed his gaze on Yan Wuheng again, a little probing, not obvious.
Yan Wuheng smiled lightly: "It's Zesheng's friend, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers on weekdays, and he just passed through Taishan City, so he came to see it, this is a person in Xianei." ”
"Second son Xiao." Ji Qiang nodded, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was just right.
Xiao Rongfeng was a little unaware of her appearance, such a beautiful woman is rare.
He automatically skipped Youzhuang, with years of knowledge skills, Xiao Rongfeng had long seen that Youzhuang was just an ordinary person, whether it was his life experience or martial arts.
On the contrary, it is the couple with extremely extraordinary appearance, which is incomprehensible.
Unexpectedly, his third brother actually had such a good ability to meet this kind of person.
"Second brother, what are you thinking?" Xiao Zesheng's hand raised in front of him and muttered, "You came to me, just looking at my brother in a daze?" ”
Xiao Rongfeng said with a smile: "The third brother has grown up, how can he eat this little vinegar." ”
"The second brother can only be my second brother." Xiao Zesheng took advantage of the situation and smiled.
This reception banquet, because of Xiao Rongfeng's participation, the food was not very enjoyable.
Southwest City, Royal Palace.
"The king of Shenyang has been in the dust all the way, he must be tired, please come inside." The King of the Southwest stood at the door, smiling.
Today, this palace also held a reception banquet.
The king of Shenyang smiled and followed behind him: "It's this king who is disturbed a lot." ”
"Eh, the family doesn't speak two words." The king of the southwest laughed and personally introduced the king of Shenyang into the main hall.
The two sat down and looked at each other, both understood each other's thoughts, knew themselves and the other, and saved themselves from bothering to speak.
At night, the sound of cicadas stretches and the sound of birds rises, which makes people feel irritable when they hear it.
"How many troops does the King of Shenyang still have?" The face of the King of the Southwest looked obscure in the candlelight, and his eyes that shone with a sharp essence were all calculations. And Shun
The king of Shenyang sighed: "The army has been greatly damaged, and now there are only five thousand left." ”
"Not less." The King of the Southwest raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this number, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with some indignation, "I didn't expect that the King of Shenyang, who has always been majestic, would actually lose in the hands of a three-year-old child, but it was really surprising, and I wanted to meet this little prince in person." ”
When he mentioned this, Shen Yang's face became manic, and he was defeated by a three-year-old child, which was really an extremely humiliating thing!
"He is worthy of being Xia Jingnian's son!" The king of Shenyang said angrily, as if mentioning Xia Jingnian, he would be more glorious if he lost.
The king of the southwest didn't want to make a fuss about this matter, so he changed the topic: "What should the king of Shenyang do next?" ”
"This king has embarked on this road, if you don't go, you have to go, even if you stop now, it will be a dead end." King Shenyang took a sip of tea, the slightly bitter taste spread in his mouth, and he lowered his head and sighed.
The king of the southwest agreed: "It is said that now the emperor has woken up. ”
"What!"
With a clang, the teacup fell to the ground, and a few drops of hot tea spilled on the back of King Shenyang's hand.
His lips trembled slightly, and the fear from the bottom of his heart could not be suppressed.
"So what should I do now?" King Shenyang squatted down and picked up the broken porcelain, his hands trembling.
The king of the southwest couldn't help but sigh when he saw his performance: "If the king of Shenyang acts like this, he can't do it." As the saying goes, if you get on a thief ship, even if you want to jump down halfway, the world will think that you are a thief. ”
"Who's to say it isn't." The king of Shenyang was in a much more stable mood, and he sat down on his seat a little distracted.
The two of them discussed until late at night, and both had a general understanding of each other's strength and ambitions.
On the official road, a horse-drawn carriage walked non-stop.
"Your Highness, how long will it take to get to the capital?" The butler poked his head out from time to time to look, and sat down in the carriage rather tiredly.
Sogo lifted the curtain and saw that there was black paint everywhere, and he shook his head: "Here, I don't know where it is, let's go first." ”
The butler nodded, he unscrewed the kettle, took a few sips, and continued to command the carriage to catch up.
There are hundreds of miles on the way from Shenyang City to the capital, and it is not possible to arrive overnight, and the coachman got a hundred taels of silver, so he tried his best to rush forward day and night.
"Your Highness, why don't you want to obey the King of Shenyang?" The butler leaned against the wall of the car, undazed, his face full of furrows full of puzzlement.
Sogo smiled faintly: "Everyone in the world yearns for power, but I don't know that when I really reach that position, I have to bear a lot." ”
"Even so, being born as a human being, who doesn't want to glorify their ancestors and become the most noble person in the world." The butler sighed, looked at Sogo who closed his eyes, thought for a while and continued, "This is human nature, and the King of Shenyang thinks the same way." ”
Sogo bowed, and he slowly opened his eyes: "When I was still the crown prince, the sixth brother gave me a trick everywhere for the throne. In the end, I ended up being deposed, and I couldn't even protect the people I wanted to protect. Such a mind is not the material for being an emperor. Now that Uncle Huang is in power, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everywhere is thriving, how can I still fight. ”
The housekeeper was thoughtful, and he said: "It's the villain who sees that it's short, if he can spend it safely this time, the villain wants to follow His Highness." ”
"Okay." Sogo looked at him and nodded, he sighed, "I don't know how Jing'er is doing now." ”
"Your Highness is talking about the first crown princess." The butler looked at his expression and asked cautiously.
Sogo's face showed worry, and he nodded heavily: "Now that the King of Shenyang is sending troops in my name, Jing'er will definitely become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats in the palace." The thought of this makes my heart feel uncomfortably tight. ”
"Your Highness, don't worry too much." The housekeeper reassured, "The little prince was only three years old and was able to repel the king of Shenyang, such a smart prodigy, maybe he could guess that you were targeted by the king of Shenyang." ”
