Chapter 116: The Past ......

Listen to Xiao Chengmo talk about this. The expression on Chu Yuan's face was a little subtle. There is a heartwarming feeling to that feeling. There is another peculiar sadness. I remembered that it was the death day of the emperor soon. Chu Yuan's heart was even more uncomfortable. How the emperor treated Chu Yuan when he was alive. That's not a bad thing to say. Even if sometimes harsh and harsh. But the mood is always eager.

Come to think of it. Chu Yuan shook his head very abruptly. The corners of his lips couldn't help but show a smile with longing. He's missing the emperor.

But. At this moment, he actually wanted to hear more about what happened to Xiao Chengmo. Listen to Xiao Chengmo say these words himself. He can judge better. A clearer cognition. What kind of person is Xiao Chengmo? What kind of suffering he endured? And what kind of city is there?

"Go on. I'd love to hear the story of how you got to power at the time." Chu Yuan's eyes were full of teasing smiles when he said this. Xiao Chengmo glanced at him. Still calm and serious to speak.

"Chu Yuan. You really don't understand. The Yi State is completely different from the Chu State. At that time, there were many royal heirs in the following country. Because of this, the father did not particularly like any prince. So everyone is competing openly and secretly. Behind each prince is a large family support. At that time, the court of the following country was in chaos. The hearts of the people are scattered. At that time. The survival of every prince is the most difficult."

Chu Yuan can fully understand this. Although he didn't experience it himself. But he's seen many of them. Something like this doesn't have to happen to royalty. This is also often the case in some family clans.

"At that time. Everybody is calculating. Each is plotting. Some people say that I am lucky with Qingwang. For we are the only two brothers in the palace. At that time, the mother also felt honored because of this. But. It's time to fight for the throne. This is a big disadvantage." Speaking of which. Xiao Chengmo sneered a little sadly. But the look in his eyes was resolute and cold. Because he knows that's the reality.

Chu Yuan listened to Xiao Chengmo's words. instantly understood the meaning of Xiao Chengmo's words. also understands how bad the situation was for Xiao Chengmo and Xiao Huanyi at that time.

Xiao Chengmo looked up. Glancing at Chu Yuan. Seeing Chu Yuan's eyes deep. It seems to have a sympathetic and distressed feeling for him. I suddenly laughed." You can't pity me. This was indeed the case at the time. Behind each prince is a huge system support. And behind me and Qingwang. But there is only one concubine in their family. And at that time. My mother's family is the weakest."

"Hear you say that. It's really difficult. You two brothers are at the mercy of others. So. I'm curious. How the hell did you end up on this throne?" Chu Yuan was really curious about this. He was desperate to know. What is Xiao Chengmo's ability? can turn things around in such adversity.

"Actually. It's not that hard." Xiao Chengmo smiled deeply at this Chu Yuan. There are some things that I can't tell you exhaustively. You just have to remember that not all princes are like you and me. There are also corrupt nests. Sometimes a little subtotal is all it takes. and let him be defeated. You said. The seedlings have fallen. The family behind him has to find another support as soon as possible."

"That's even so. There are other princes. Their shrewdness is not to be underestimated." The corners of Chu Yuan's lips hooked up with an evil smile. The look in his eyes is an appreciation for Xiao Chengmo. This man is really wise and resourceful. Beneath the surface of mild coldness lies the most and the deepest.

"Everything is in a hurry. At that time, Qingwang was still young. Those people didn't take the green king too seriously. I don't know what the Green King did at that time. How important is it. And there's that. Those people also underestimated me. Because I grew up quiet and low-key. Don't like to fight, don't want to be in the limelight. The family power is small. They may think I'm not qualified to compete with them. So their focus is all on a strong opponent."

Talk about these things. Xiao Chengmo didn't feel very proud. I didn't think it was pathetic. The final thing. He doesn't think it's his own means that are despicable. Enough to be ruthless. That kind of time. They are just trying to survive.

"Sandpiper clam fights. Fisherman's profit. Seemingly. At that time. You're just waiting for the fisherman behind." Chu Yuan laughed heartily. Xiao Chengmo is really not a simple character. How thoughtful is his mind. How wise the mind is.

"Two tigers are fighting. There will be a wound. to the end. There are not many people who still have the energy and energy to fight for the throne. Because I didn't openly join the race for the throne with the Green King. We're just taking a wait-and-see attitude. The rest of the princes have come to woo us. Promise us to wait until it's done. What kind of glory and wealth can you get?"

Speaking of which. Xiao Chengmo smiled a little sarcastically and ruthlessly. These words. Just listen to it. If you really believe it. Then you have to throw your life in it. It's the same for everyone. As long as he sits on the throne. All the people he thinks are threatening. He'll do whatever it takes to get rid of it. And I don't want to take that risk."

Chu Yuan nodded knowingly. I agreed: "That's for sure. And then what about the end. What method are you using. Be the last victor."

"That's when it comes to those who have been eliminated from the tournament before. The seedlings they were holding have fallen. Naturally looking for new support. That's where our opportunity comes. Other princes. They all have hatred with them. Naturally, it is impossible to fall under their influence. Otherwise, life will definitely be difficult in the future. Whether it's our initiative. Or are they proactive. Anyway, there were a lot of hidden forces behind me at that time."

"Wait." Chu Yuan listened attentively. But I have to think about Xiao Chengmo's words." The people you are talking about. Will anyone want to pinch you as a soft persimmon. Waiting for you to ascend to the throne. But it's just a puppet. They're in control."

"There are naturally such people." Xiao Chengmo nodded. Then he smiled coldly. So. Don't wait for me to ascend to the throne. Those who have the ambition of a thief. I took their heads off with my own hands."

"......" Chu Yuan suddenly felt a chill. Rubbed his arm. Hurriedly said: "That's it. Don't talk about that. Let's just talk about how you toppled the last two factions."

"I didn't hide until the end. If you only wait until the end when the one picks up the cheap. It doesn't mean anything to sit on the throne. In this last struggle of the strong. I declared war directly. Because I didn't say which side I wanted to support. So they were polite and courted by me. My statement. It's something they didn't expect. And the forces that have accumulated behind me. It caught them off guard."

"At that time. You must be the one they hate the most. I might have wanted to kill you first, and then I could have done it soon." Chu Yuan said. Not his crow's mouth. But that's the case. If only he had known that he had been carrying sheep in front of his eyes. Later, it turned out to be the deepest and most dangerous one. He must have wanted to kill him first.

"So what." Xiao Chengmo smiled conceitedly. The attitude is very arrogant." I'm just waiting for them to make a move. It wasn't like I didn't do anything in those days. The one I put in. Go deep into every aspect of them. All their plans are in my hands. One more point. I think you know that. That's my Master."

Speaking of Master. Xiao Chengmo sighed nostalgically. The words are a little heavy." Master is a great figure in the rivers and lakes. He was a man who loved his country. At that time, the next country was in chaos. Master really can't stand it. So I went to my father's theory. Ask him to end this farce. Because Master once saved my father's life. The father promised to promise the master a condition. So Master found Father. Said he wanted peace in the country. Ask your father to decree the next heir. Stabilize the dynasty."

"Your master does have the courage to do this. But I don't know if your father will listen to him." Chu Yuan sighed slightly.

The father saw the situation clearly. I know. In fact, things got to that point at that time. It's all Father who is testing us. He's looking to see who's right to inherit the throne." Xiao Chengmo groaned. Slightly sarcastic.

"......" Chu Yuan was a little speechless. This test method. Isn't it overused?" Your father is a cold and cruel man. Seeing his sons fratricidally killing each other. Will he have pleasure?"

Chu Yuan said with some sarcasm. After that, I was afraid that Xiao Chengmo would be angry. Hurriedly raised his eyes to look at him. When I saw that Xiao Chengmo didn't have any emotional changes. to come down at ease.

"My father has a clear idea in his heart. At that time, the master asked to see him. What Master said was exactly what Father was thinking. Then. And the king of his father made a decree himself. An heir to the throne was established. However. But the Master was given death at that time." Xiao Chengmo's heart was very heavy. How innocent his master died. And how great.

"This is providence." Chu Yuan sighed. No one is to blame for this. You know, no one can influence the emperor's mind. Even if it was meant by the emperor. Choosing a store is a big deal. No one else is allowed to interfere. Your father has not yet spoken these words. But it was your master who spoke first. It just so happens that the final result is exactly what your master said. If this thing gets out. It's not just bad for your master. It will be detrimental to the heir to the throne."

"I understand." Xiao Chengmo silently spoke. So. I have not blamed my father. Master, he died for the sake of the next country. It was for the prince of the next country to die. It's for me."

Exactly. The king at that time was after going through this series of events. He found this most inconspicuous Xiao Chengmo on weekdays. is the most calm and wise. It is also the most ambitious. One of the most daring of all. Such people. Inherit the throne. It's a perfect fit.
