Xie family.

Just when everyone was about to disperse, the old man Wu Shan came to the Xie family with the three brothers of the Wu family.

"Looking at your festive appearance, what is the joy of something?"

Xie Tianxiong looked at Wu Shan's beard, smiling, and asked with a smile.

"Haha, it's indeed a festive thing, but whether this thing is true or not has to be verified by the eldest brother. ”

Wu Shan first smiled and nodded, and then said slightly.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Xie Tianxiong raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with interest.

"Please also ask the eldest brother to take a look. ”

Wu Shan beckoned, and then Wu Hai beside him immediately got up and took out a golden scroll from his sleeve.

"It's ......"

Looking at this rather familiar golden scroll, Xie Tianxiong frowned slightly, and immediately took the scroll in Wu Hai's hand and slowly unfolded it.

"This is the royal decree!"

The scroll was slowly unfolded, and Xie Tianxiong's first glance was on the extremely eye-catching seal in that corner, this kind of seal was only a seal that the successive monarchs of the Tianyan Dynasty were qualified to bear.

"It seems that not only our Xie family, but even your Wu family has been awarded the title by the royal family. ”

Xie Tianxiong read the contents of it roughly, his eyes flashed, and he spoke.

There are not many words in this edict, which means that because Wu Shan is Xie Tianxiong's left arm and right arm, marching think tank, battlefield hero, countless meritorious contributions, and then paid hardships for the development and management of Tianjin City, only Tianjin City is now full of flowers, which is really indispensable.

And there is another one, the Marquis of Protector can continue to serve as the city lord of Tianjin City, and the royal family will not have any interference.

"Is this true? It can't be another royal conspiracy, right?"

Although Wu Shan is indeed a thinker on the battlefield, he has little contact with the royal family, so he doesn't know much about the royal family, and this morning the royal family came to convey the edict, after listening to this edict, Wu Shan was surprised and happy, and took the edict in a daze.

Although it is okay to be crowned a general or something with his merits, but it is a bit too big to want to be crowned a marquis, and not long ago there was a conflict with the royal family, why was he awarded the title today, it is still an official residence, and it is still inherited from generation to generation, this kind of conferral is rare, it is beyond the scope of Wu Shan's cognition, which makes Wu Shan very confused, so he hurried to the Xie family to find out the truth.

"It's true, so don't think about it anymore. ”

Xie Tianxiong smiled, looked at Wu Shan, who was a little anxious, and shook his head slightly and said.

"Really, shouldn't it, even if there is no previous contradiction, it shouldn't be sealed so high?"

Wu Shan frowned slightly and said, still a little confused.

"That's because you're in the Tiangang realm now, and this is also to win people's hearts. ”

Xie Tianxiong didn't say that it was because of Xie Aoyun, but attributed it to the cultivation level, in fact, there is also this relationship, but it is pulled up through Xie Aoyun's line, otherwise even if there is cultivation, it will not necessarily be sealed to you.

"Then big brother, what have you been awarded again?"

Raising his head, Wu Shan looked at Xie Tianxiong and asked.

"See for yourself. ”

Xie Tianxiong didn't say it directly, he took out the same scroll from his sleeve and threw it at Wu Shan and said.

"It's... This... Protect the King?!"

With curiosity, Wu Shan slowly opened the scroll in his hand, and when his puzzled gaze fell on the scroll that was all unfolded, his eyes suddenly widened, and a strong shocked light shot out of his eyes, and a shocking voice suddenly resounded in this hall.

"This, big brother, is this true?"

Although the seal on it was the same as the one on his scroll, he still looked at Xie Tianxiong in surprise to confirm the authenticity.

After all, what is written above is too shocking, this is not something that his so-called Hou Ye can compare, that is the prince, although he is a prince with a different surname, but he also enjoys the treatment and rights that the royal prince has, which is far higher than his Hou Ye.

And it is not so easy to be awarded the title of prince with a different surname, even if the credit is great, it is not so easy, after all, the prince is not a joke, nor does he want to be sealed, this must go through the layers of the monarch and the princes and the previous monarch before he can be awarded.

However, even if the monarch agrees, will the other princes agree? The other princes naturally disagree, after all, it is a foreign surname, and once they are conferred the title of prince, then they must share rights and treatment with this foreign surname prince, which is very unpleasant for them, the high-ranking princes of the royal family, so it is difficult to get their consent.

But it was such a difficult conferment, but it was really displayed in front of his eyes, how could this not shock Wu Shan.

Could it be that those princes have changed their temperament, otherwise this situation would not have happened, but even so, what about the former monarch Yan Longyan? Did he agree to confer the title of Xie Tianxiong as a prince with a different surname? To say that in the Tianyan Dynasty, it must be Yan Longyan who wanted to get rid of Xie Tianxiong the most, but why would he agree? After all, the seal on this scroll would not be fake.

Wu Shan thought suspiciously.

"It's like a fake. ”

Xie Tianxiong said with a light smile.

"This shouldn't be, I don't think one of us has been awarded the title of prince and the other has been awarded the title of marquis, shouldn't they?"

Wu Shan frowned, pondered with doubts, and muttered in his mouth.

"Could it be that the royal family has something to fear?"

It is worthy of being a former and current military think tank, and after a moment of contemplation, he quickly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said.

"Haha, Shanzi, your guess is completely correct, but don't ask me what they are afraid of, because I don't know, of course, I just don't know now, and it will naturally be solved in a certain time, so you don't have to think too much. ”

Xie Tianxiong laughed, looking at Wu Shan looking at him with puzzled eyes, Xie Tianxiong shook his head slightly and explained.

"Well, but although there is a royal family's fear, we can't take it lightly, after all, after a long time, I don't know what the royal family will come up with. ”

Seeing that Xie Tianxiong didn't know the reason, Wu Shan nodded, and then said with a frown, he would not suspect that Xie Tianxiong had something to hide, because judging from their relationship, it was not necessary at all.

What he is worried about is that even if the royal family confers on them, they can be recalled, and the hearts of the royal family cannot be fathomed, and if they do not take precautions in advance, they will definitely suffer a big loss in the end.

"But this is the position of the city lord of Tianjin City?"

Wu Shan looked at Xie Tianxiong and said.

"The city lord of Tianjin City is still served by your Wu family. ”

Xie Tianxiong said with a light smile.

"I heard that the Li family is now difficult to protect itself?"

Wu Shan didn't shirk, nodded and agreed, took a small sip of the teacup, and then spoke.

"Indeed, but these are just the Li family's own sins, and if they don't take a good road, they just want to break through the ghost gate. ”

Xie Tianxiong chuckled and said sarcastically.

"Oh, although I heard a rough idea, I don't know the details, and I ask the eldest brother to explain. ”

Wu Shan's eyes widened slightly, the light spread, and he asked curiously.

So Xie Tianxiong told Wu Shan and the others about the contradiction between the Li family and the Lingbao Pavilion.

"Haha, this Li family is also quite bold, and he dared to hit the body of Lingbao Pavilion with his attention, he really won't die if he doesn't die. ”

Wu Shan laughed, he admired what the Li family did, but admiration was admiration, but in the end, no one would admire him when he turned into a pinch of ashes, but became the laughing stock of others.

"But then again, it's no wonder that we have had very little cooperation with Lingbao Pavilion over the years, it turns out that the Li family has always been at fault. ”

Wu Shan's words changed, a chill shot out of his eyes, and he said slowly in an indifferent tone.

In these years, not only the Xie family and Lingbao Pavilion have few transactions, but even their Wu family has not been a few times a year, which has made the Xie family and the Wu family, which are among the best in Tianjin City, suppressed in terms of business, and even secretly teased by others, which has also become a pain for the Xie family and the Wu family.

Thinking that it was the Li family's ghost, if Wu Shan, who was straight, had been put ten years ago, he would have rushed into the Li family without saying a word and turned him upside down.

"Isn't this retribution, with the behemoth of Lingbao Pavilion putting pressure on their Li family, do you think the Li family will be able to die a good death, and the Lingbao Pavilion will not give up if they don't let the Li family bleed. ”

Xie Tianxiong smiled faintly and said in a cold voice.

"What the eldest brother said is that their Li family has secretly obtained so many benefits in the Lingbao Pavilion over the years, and I believe that the Li family's hemorrhage this time will definitely double. ”

Wu Shan nodded and said rather gloatingly.

"I only hope that the Li family will be squeezed out of the five major families after this hemorrhage, and in that case, it will definitely become the shocking news of Tianjin City. ”

Wu Shan continued, since the Li family installed personnel in the Lingbao Pavilion, they have wantonly suppressed their Xie family and the Wu family, and even secretly did some unseemly things, which caused a lot of trauma to the business of the two families, and if the Li family was squeezed out of the five major families, they were extremely willing to see it.

"Whether or not you can be squeezed out of the five major families can only depend on the price that Lingbao Pavilion makes the Li family pay this time, but even if you are not squeezed out, you are not far from the edge. ”

Grinding the teacup, Xie Tianxiong said indifferently, and when he said the end, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and quickly dissipated.

"Then let's see how far their Li family will go, I hope the Lingbao Pavilion will not let us down. ”

Wu Shan also rubbed the teacup and said slowly, he was also very interested in the ending of the Li family.

"Report!"

At this time, a guard came running from outside and respectfully knelt in front of Xie Tianxiong.

"What?"

Xie Tianxiong raised his eyes and asked at the guard.

"Report to the master, Lingbao Pavilion Master Huang Tianhong asks to see you!"

The guard hurriedly spoke.

"Huang Tianhong!"

Xie Tianxiong and most of the people in the hall looked stunned.

Indeed, Huang Tianhong's arrival really surprised the people in the hall, why did he not go to the Li family to collect debts and come to the Xie family?

"What is he doing here? Go, go and see. ”

Xie Tianxiong was puzzled, but after all, it was the master of the Lingbao Pavilion who came to the door in person, and he, the master, could not lose his identity, so he hurriedly got up and went out with everyone to greet him.

"Looks like he's in a hurry. ”

And only one person still looked indifferent when he heard that Huang Tianhong was coming, and he followed behind and muttered secretly in his heart.
