Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Three Brothers of the Royal Family

"After so many years, this king is also tired. Xia Jing sighed, his eyes showing a little tiredness.

"Speaking of which...... Chu Shao may not believe it, but I think it is still necessary to clarify one thing for himself, the king of the black pot doesn't care, but it depends on who carries it. Xia Jing glanced at Chu Mo and said lightly: "The archer who wants to shoot Zhang Qingyu is indeed a person from the Prince's Mansion, and he was also a person I valued. However, it was not sent by this king!"

"Didn't you send it?" Chu Mo frowned and looked at Xia Jing, although this old thief has done a lot of bad things, he is also a person who dares to act. Otherwise, how can there be a lawless evaluation? I should not deceive myself.

Especially at a time like this, Xia Jing has no reason or the guts to deceive Chu Mo.

"Isn't it Xia Jie?" Chu Mo squinted and looked at Xia Jing.

"He doesn't have that power. Xia Jing's eyes lowered, and he said lightly: "That archer, his status in the Prince's Mansion is not low, and Xia Jie is not qualified to transfer him at all." ”

"The letter, those killers?" Chu Mo looked at Xia Jing.

"I did that. Xia Jing looked calm and said lightly: "But the matter of shooting the son of his henchman and favorite minister, this king can't do it." ”

"So...... Does the other party even want to calculate with you?" Chu Mo suddenly felt that his vest was a little cold.

Xia Jing glanced at Chu Mo meaningfully: "This king is not welcomed, they are here for this king! You were innocently implicated." ”

"Them?" Chu Mo pointed to the sky, and Xia Jing nodded.

Chu Mo was silent for a while, and said, "Those things have nothing to do with me, as long as you don't calculate it on me next time." ”

Xia Jing was silent for a while and said, "It's hard to say. ”

"Then let them go. Chu Mo said with a nonchalant expression, but vigilance rose in his heart, feeling that he should have accidentally entered a whirlpool by mistake.

Xia Jing then left with two letters, and Chu Mo sat there quietly thinking.

"Imperial ......" A cold light flashed in Chu Mo's eyes.

He had never imagined that one day, he would inadvertently get involved in the royal strife.

Although he didn't think about it, it didn't mean that Chu Mo didn't know anything!

Although the current emperor is wise and martial, he is over sixty years old, and the crown prince has been established as early as more than 20 years ago, and he is the eldest prince Xia Ying.

There are dozens of princes under the emperor's knees, but there are only three princes born to the queen.

They are the eldest prince and crown prince Xia Ying, the second prince Xia Xiong and the third prince Xia Hao.

The crown prince Xia Ying, who is now in her forties, has been in charge of the East Palace for many years, with a steady and shrewd temperament, a broad heart, and an atmosphere of doing things. At least over the years, both the government and the opposition, the evaluation of this prince is like this. thinks that Xia Ying will definitely be able to become a generation of Ming Jun who is not inferior to his father in the future.

The relationship between Xia Ying and Prince Xia Jing is not very good, but it is not bad either.

Although the two sides are uncles and nephews, one is the prince and the other is the emperor's uncle, and they can't get too close to each other, in fact, everyone understands this truth.

But the relationship between the second prince Xia Xiong and the third prince Xia Hao and the prince Xia Jing is not very good.

Especially the third prince Xia Hao, who is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, is in the prime of life. Xia Hao has been cultivating in the sect since he was a child, and after he went down the mountain at the age of twenty, he has been serving in the army since he returned to Great Xia.

Now that his strength has reached the fourth layer of the yellow level, he has entered the bone refining realm and become a general.

Xia Hao, who is brave by nature, has always looked down on his powerful uncle, and feels that his existence will sooner or later threaten his imperial brother to inherit the throne.

Therefore, it has always been overtly and secretly aimed at the prince Xia Jing.

These things are not a secret in the aristocratic circle of Great Xia.

Although Xia Jing didn't say it explicitly, but today's incident, Chu Mo had already guessed that nine times out of ten, it had something to do with Xia Hao, the third prince.

can buy a sharpshooter with a high status in the prince's mansion, at least his identity should not be much worse than the prince!

Otherwise, what he can give, Xia Jing, the prince, has no reason why he can't give it.

There is another very important reason why Chu Mo directly pointed the target of his suspicion at the third prince Xia Hao, that is: the third prince Xia Hao is not on good terms with his grandfather Fan Wudi!

The reason was at a New Year's dinner two years ago, the third prince Xia Hao took advantage of the opportunity of toasting to go around to win over those generals in the army for his imperial brother Xia Ying.

This kind of behavior made Fan Wushu very disgusted in his heart, in the eyes of the old general, the throne would be the crown prince sooner or later.

But now, Great Xia is still the Great Xia of the current emperor!

Not the Prince's!

It's not a prince!

As a prince, what's the matter with you running to win over these generals?

However, although the old general was disgusted, he did not say anything. After all, he was a soldier and too lazy to get involved in royal affairs.

But Xia Hao couldn't die, ran to Fan Wushu to toast, and began to win over the old general.

Don't look at Fan Wuving's ranking among the generals, only in the middle and upper. But many of the military's top ministers served under the old generals in the past. The army is also a place where seniority is very important, so the prestige of the old general is very high.

Don't say that there will be a hundred responses, but at least, the old general said something, those military bigwigs still have to give face.

Therefore, at the beginning, Xia Hao also tried his best to win over Fan Wuving.

The old general coped with it for a while, but Xia Hao kept pestering, and the old general was so annoyed that he reprimanded Xia Hao a few times: "Be a soldier...... Just pure!"

As a result, Xia Hao turned his face on the spot, first mocking the old general in a low voice for fighting all his life, but in the end the ranking was still so low, not as good as many of the soldiers he had led, and then said that the old general's strength was not very good, so old, but he was still staying in the Iron Bone Realm, and he couldn't even break through the Iron Blood Realm.

With the strength of the wine, Xia Hao said a lot of ugly things, which made the old general so angry that he almost beat him.

In the end, it was the emperor who found out about the movement here, and came over and reprimanded Xia Hao fiercely. This is the end of the matter.

But it is precisely for this reason that Xia Hao has hated the old general Fan Invincible since then.

At that time, Chu Mo and Xu Fufu and other junior characters were also fortunate to participate, so they witnessed this conflict with their own eyes.

Therefore, Chu Mo didn't even need to analyze too much to guess the reason for this incident.

If it was before, Xia Jing would probably have to say it more clearly, but this prince has seen the power of this young man today. So I just nodded lightly.

Chu Mo sat there pondering and muttered, "Ying, Xiong, Hao, Jie...... Except for Xia Jie, those three princes are not simple!"

"Using a sharpshooter in the palace, the prince Xia Jing, the old general Fan Wuving, and the head of the cabinet of the current dynasty Xu Zhongliang...... Even Qingzhou Mu Zhang Chong was all dragged into the water. Chu Mo's face became more and more cold: "It's really ruthless!"

"But...... You'd better not provoke me any further, Xia Hao, I don't want to have anything to do with you princes! If you dare to think anything about my grandfather or me again, I will definitely make you regret it!"

In Chu Mo's eyes, a cold killing intent flashed.

.........

At the same time, the prince's east palace.

The crown prince Xia Ying, who was over forty years old, sat in the first place, frowning slightly, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face.

Under him, there was a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man sitting, somewhat similar to Xia Ying's appearance, with a mustache, and a somewhat gloomy atmosphere between his eyebrows. It is Xia Xiong, the second prince of Great Xia, and on the surface, Xia Xiong is the most low-key of the three princes.

Neither served in the court, nor entered the military, and has always followed the prince, if you don't look at his identity, he is more like Xia Ying's staff.

Only those who know Xia Xiong know how terrible he is. It can be said that if there is no Xia Xiong, then Xia Ying, the prince, would never be able to do so reliably!

Over the years, almost half of the various decisions of the East Palace have come from the hands of Xia Xiong, the second prince.

It is said that Xia Ying once said after drinking: "Who said that the royal family is ruthless?

Xia Ying's evaluation among the people is so high, and it has a lot to do with his two brothers who are closely united around him.

Opposite Xia Xiong, sat a man in his thirties with a heroic face. He sat there straight, dressed in a strong suit, with a bit of anger on his face: "It's just a waste! I can't do such a trivial thing! Damn, incompetent thing! It's in vain that I put so much effort into putting him in the prince's palace for so many years." ”

"Okay, the third child, there are some things that can only be done to obey the destiny of God, so don't complain. At least, he would rather kill himself than be captured and confess to you. It's already not bad. The second prince Xia Xiong glanced at Xia Hao and said lightly: "But our uncle ...... It's not a general, this time, although he doesn't have any evidence, but nine times out of ten...... Will guess that we did it. ”

"What can you guess? Does he have evidence?" Xia Hao sneered: "I wish he had come to me to make trouble! In this way, his image in the eyes of his father will become even worse." ”

"Come on, third child, the beauty you think, our imperial uncle is smarter than you. Besides, you don't like him, but he is the younger brother of his father after all! As long as his father reigns for one day, no one can touch him. Xia Xiong said, sighing: "It's a pity that the last time I had such a good opportunity, I was disrupted by Chu Mo's little thing, otherwise, Xia Jie's fool would die......! It's long since fallen out of favor!"

"This time I wanted to take Chu Mo with calculations, but he avoided it again, this little thing, a bit evil, has been a little away from him recently, and this is also a very smart person. Xia Xiong said softly.

"Cut ......" Xia Hao suddenly looked disdainful, and sneered: "Just that little thing? It's just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid, he can understand a fart! Yesterday's incident was not over, didn't he just run to the prince's mansion to make a big fuss? A smart person can do this? Haha, it's a pity that it's inconvenient to see that kind of excitement." ”

"He knows what a fart? Third child, your despise for others should be changed. The crown prince Xia Ying, who had been silent, suddenly said lightly: "That kid ...... Probably going to be a big rival!"
