Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Agreement is Reached

I have to say that Prince Qing's estimate is not wrong at all.

When he came to the capital with his 200,000 army, he was facing the 200,000 army that was sharpening his sword.

Similarly, on the same day that his army arrived under the capital, he also received a signal from Gu Xiao and Dongfang Hou asking for peace talks.

After Prince Qing personally walked around the capital, he found that the capital had now become an iron barrel, and there was no possibility of capturing the capital in a short period of time, so he simply agreed to the peace talk signal sent by Gu Xiao and others. Since there is no possibility of winning in a short period of time, it is not an acceptable option to sit down and negotiate.

Three days later, outside the east gate of the capital, a huge clearing was cleared.

A huge iron umbrella was erected in the clearing, and under the iron umbrella, the two factions representing the current royal family Dongfang Clan were engaged in a negotiation with each other to determine the future of the world.

"Brother Huang, now that you and I are on equal footing, what do you think we should do now?" As soon as they met, Dongfang Hou and Prince Qing, the brothers who had been separated for many years, shuddered a few words, and Dongfang Hou said straight to the point.

Prince Qing said in a hoarse voice: "The dragon chair belongs to me!" ”

"It can't be!" Dongfang Hou flatly refused.

For Dongfang Hou, that dragon chair is also something he has longed for for a long time. Now, Prince Qing wants to leave without saying a word, which he can never accept.

Prince Qing had long known that this was something that Dongfang Hou could not accept.

Therefore, as soon as Dongfang Hou's voice fell, he added, "After a hundred years of this king, you can pass on the throne to your son." ”

When Dongfang Hou heard this, he immediately became a little moved.

He knows. His royal brother was not lying. Prince Qing has no son, only a righteous daughter, and at his age, it is unrealistic to want to give birth to a son. What's more, now the children within the Dongfang Clan are withering. He had no other choice now.

"What can you guarantee?" Dongfang Hou was really moved to be honest.

In his opinion, there is no difference between him sitting on this dragon chair or his son sitting on it, but he still hopes that Prince Qing can give a guarantee.

When Prince Qing heard this, he first glanced at Gu Xiao who was standing beside Dongfang Hou, then turned around, glanced at Totoku who was standing behind him, and said, "It's very simple. This king only has one daughter, and this king can marry Tokh to Ling Lang, so it's always appropriate, right? ”

"Father-in-law!" Standing behind Prince Qing, Totoku immediately said coquettishly.

Totoku secretly glanced at Gu Xiao who was standing behind Dongfang Hou, and when he saw Gu Xiao, who was tall and mighty, his pretty face couldn't help but blush.

As the so-called woman does not have spring, although she is cold by nature. But not a person without feelings. Gu Xiao's conditions are definitely the number one good man today. What's more, Tokhtar had already thrown one of his hearts on Gu Xiao's body.

Dongfang Hou couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, of course he knew which of his sons Prince Qing was talking about.

To be honest, if Prince Qing had said this a year ago, he would have gladly accepted it. Because this means that he can get the strong reinforcement of Prince Qing, but as the saying goes, this time is also that time!

For today's Dongfang Hou, Gu Xiao's son is no longer as important as before.

Because what he hopes most now is to be able to put the son born to him and Concubine Ju on the throne!

Gu Xiao stood aside, and when he saw Dongfang Hou's hesitation, his heart was suddenly full of sadness.

Of course he does. Dongfang Hou hesitated for something, Dongfang Hou was afraid that after he took the line of Prince Qing, he would pose a threat to the status of his beloved son. Gu Xiao knew this too well in his heart. It was only because of this that he felt even more sad.

He saved the life of this cheap old man, saved his woman and son, and single-handedly helped him to the distance where he is now only one step away from the throne. However, in his heart, his status is still not as good as his little son! Could it be that the son born to the beloved woman is really so important to herself compared to herself?

Perhaps, family affection is a very luxurious thing for me! Gu Xiao said with sadness in his heart.

Dongfang Hou asked rhetorically for a while: "Brother Huang, do you mean that you hope that Sheng'er will succeed to the throne in the future?" ”

"Of course, Sheng'er is brave, resourceful, and intelligent, and there is no one in my Dongfang family who can beat him!" As he spoke, Prince Qing glanced at Gu Xiao with appreciation.

For Gu Xiao's nephew, Prince Qing resented him for ruining his good deeds many times, and on the other hand, he also admired his talent from the bottom of his heart.

For his own capable nephew, even if he is not a person with himself at all, as an elder, he will have some appreciation in his heart. There is no doubt that Prince Qing now has such a similar feeling for Gu Xiao, so he chose to make Gu Xiao his successor.

Dongfang Hou said: "Brother Huang, Sheng'er now has six women, and she is really not a good match for her niece!" ”

During this time, in addition to taking possession of the four women, Gu Xiao also brought Yanagi Xueji into his backyard, as for Yanagi Xueji's father, Yanagi Danma Shou, he has now returned to Dongying with the edict of the Central Plains Imperial Court canonizing him as the leader of the Dongying Martial Arts Alliance.

Prince Qing was surprised when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think?" ”

Dongfang Hou pondered for a while and said, "Is the imperial brother interested in recognizing a righteous son?" ”

Click! When Gu Xiao heard this, he immediately clenched his fists tightly.

Of course he knew what Dongfang Hou meant, Dongfang Hou wanted Prince Qing to recognize the little prince as a righteous son, and then cultivate the little prince from an early age!

This old fellow has such a disparity with his two sons, which he can never accept!

Even though he had never been interested in that dragon chair in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little chill at this moment!

Could it be that in the face of power, there is really no flesh and blood affection? Gu Xiao asked himself from the bottom of his heart.

Prince Qing and Dongfang Hou were still continuing to negotiate, but Gu Xiao had no interest in continuing to listen.

At this moment, he had never been so eager to return to the Star Continent.

Even though on the Star Continent, family affection is still an unattainable luxury for him, but even if he can't get it, his heart is better than now. After all, having a thought in your heart is at least better than not even having a thought!

Perhaps, I shouldn't have expected any family affection at all? Gu Xiao sighed inwardly. (To be continued......)
