In the palace of the great prince, when the second official of the dynasty Gongsun Qian is sitting opposite the prince, there is an antique mini table case between the two, there is a two-foot long, one-foot-wide tea tray in the center of the table, the edge of the upper left corner of the tea tray is engraved, the sky is satisfactory, the tea is over the heart of the eight big characters, there is a tea pet fishing alone on the tea tray. When the step to pour the tea on it, the tea pet in addition to the color change, there is a trace of life, although it is because of the formation, but also have to say that this thing is extraordinary.

The head of Gongsun Qian's family is the Zuo Prime Minister who is about to abdicate - Gongsun Invincible, he came to the palace of the great prince today, but also because Bu Youkong and Huang Jingdang returned to Beijing one after another, and had to come up with some proposals in advance.

After the eldest prince poured all the tea that was boiled for the first time, he took out a stream of fine spiritual spring, slowly poured it into the teapot, controlled the fire to a low fire, and then slowly spoke: "Since Mr. Gongsun took the initiative to come, whether it was Xiangye's side has already made a decision." ”

Gongsun Qian smiled and did not respond positively, and said softly: "I don't know if the eldest prince knows the news that the city lord of the Huang family has returned home." “

Bu Zhi glanced at Gongsun Qian, and after thinking for a while, he replied with a smile: "My aunt and grandmother are his mother, and he is my cousin, Bu Zhi naturally knows, I don't know why Mr. Gongsun suddenly mentioned it." ”

Gongsun Qian didn't raise his head, just smiled lightly, and asked again: "I don't know what the prohibition in the Great Prince's Mansion is?"

Buzhi smiled and nodded.

Seeing Buzhi nodding, Gongsun Qian hesitated for a while, and then said calmly: "The eldest prince is a smart person, he must have heard of the old things in the southern kingdom more than thirty years ago, and Prince Bu and Huang Siye returned to Beijing together, and they were in time for the Holy Emperor's trip, so the eldest prince must have known my intention." ”

Bu Zhi put away his smile and said solemnly: "It is ancestral training that the Huang family can't participate in the competition, and the second uncle's current strength is not suitable for participation, just like the emperor-level powerhouse of your Gongsun family, didn't he also participate in the last competition, the news that the third uncle died in the Gongsun family is not a secret, it is not difficult to know, if you want to solve Mr. Gongsun's worries, with the strength of the Gongsun family, you can just join a certain camp, come to find Bu, presumably Mr. Gongsun's purpose is more than that." “

Gongsun Qian smiled heartily and said: "The eldest prince is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, then Gongsun Qian said directly, yes, the Gongsun family wants the future Nanguo Wu has a Xinzhen surnamed Huang, and Wen has the Wendu of the Gongsun family." After saying that, he stared at Buzhi tightly, wanting to get the other party's reaction.

Bu Zhi took a sip of tea gently, weighing the information in the other party's words in his heart, hiding the shock in his heart, putting down the teacup, and said with a smile: "The Gongsun family's appetite is not bad, but I don't know if I can really eat so half a table full of Han?"

Gongsun Qian knew that the other party was probing his bottom line, and he also knew that he needed to show some strength, so he slowly replied: "A few decades ago, the Gongsun family made a mistake in judgment and stood on the opposite side of the current Holy Emperor, but even so, decades later, the Gongsun family still has the position of prime minister, and the charm of this must be something that the eldest prince can savor." ”

Bu Zhi naturally knew this, which was why he was willing to try to form an alliance with the Gongsun family at the risk of breaking with Fourth Uncle Huang and Second Uncle Wang.

One is that the second uncle and the fourth uncle Huang can't participate in the establishment of the prince, and the second is that he may not be able to get their favor, the most important thing is that the power of the Gongsun family is considerable, with their help, he can definitely achieve great things after he ascends the throne, the only worry is that when the imperial power is settled, then the fourth uncle Huang will have trouble with the second uncle Wang, and he thinks that he has no ability to block it if he participates in the imperial power in an alternative way.

"Since Mr. Gongsun is so frank, that step is not to beat around the bush, you must know that it is easy to get the position and difficult to defend the position, the talent and strength of the second uncle must be better than me, the realm of the martial king can still use the Ping Shen sword to slaughter the martial monarch, not to mention the current imperial level, for the sake of the Gongsun family, offending such a strong enemy, I am afraid that Mr. Gongsun will also have difficulty sleeping, not to mention that there is a Huang family Qingque who is both a scholar and a martial artist. Obviously, the strength that Gongsun Qian showed was not enough to compare with those two enemies. So Buzhi asked straight to the point.

Gongsun Qian seemed to have expected this a long time ago, smiled confidently, lowered his head and poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "Since Gongsun Qian can come, it is natural to consider this.

I am afraid that any family in the southern country is not as clear as the royal family, and the royal family cultivates all the way, resulting in the strength of the royal martial arts almost all of them is much higher than the realm, and even the martial spirit ability is not a few against the martial sect, so may I ask the eldest prince has ever heard that there is a martial monarch who is against the martial emperor's power? or that the martial emperor's primary ability is against the martial emperor's high level? Gongsun Qian knows that he has no hope of the imperial level, but he also knows that the gap between each rank of the imperial level is much larger than the gap between the martial spirit and the martial sect. So if the news is good, even if the Pingshen Sword Formation is added, the second prince of the first rank of the Martial Emperor will have the strength of the fifth order at most, after all, you also know that the Pingshen Sword Formation will not go all out to deal with the people of the Southern Kingdom unless the period is special. At that time, the throne is a foregone conclusion, as long as the old people behind the royal family do not make a move, the second prince insists on "aggressively" the Gongsun family has the ability to deal with it

After listening to Gongsun Qian's words, Bu Zhi was silent on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent, at most the fifth order, that is, the Gongsun family has a stronger emperor-level powerhouse than the fifth order, combined with Gongsun Qian's intentions, Bu Zhi had to doubt the existence of the founder of the Gongsun family.

calmed down, Bu Zhi looked worried, and said sincerely: "Even if you don't talk about the second uncle, the trouble for the fourth uncle Huang is not small, you must know that the Huang family has a lot of emperor-level power, and it is even rumored that in addition to the two Venerables of the Huang family, it seems that there are Venerables again." ”

Gongsun Qian smiled with relief and replied respectfully: "The minister has a few offensive words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Bu Zhi looked kind and smiled: "Please also ask Mr. Gongsun to give advice." “

Gongsun Qianzheng said: "The eldest prince doesn't know, in the past thousand years, the royal family has been changing for a short time, the previous generation of holy emperors has reigned for only more than 100 years, and this generation seems to be earlier, and whether it is in the south or elsewhere, cultivation is hierarchical, and the things that are not enough to contact are naturally not enough, in the past, those princes succeeded to the throne for hundreds of years, and less than 100, and most of their cultivation is not weak, so the level of things they come into contact with will be higher." The minister does not mean that the eldest prince's cultivation is weak, on the contrary, the eldest prince can participate in the throne at such an age, which shows that the prospects for the future are very impressive. And what the minister wants to express is that when the eldest prince reaches a certain realm, he will naturally know that although there are not many strong people, they are not as few as we imagined. In their eyes, as long as the people are still there and the roots are still there, then the tribulation is a good thing, so don't worry, I was also told by someone in the family, and I understood why the Gongsun family had the confidence to fight for the first article. “

Bu Zhi looked out the window, fell into deep thought, and thought in his heart that the world thought that the saddest thing for the Bu family's mind cultivation was the tempering in the Pingshen Sword Array, but in fact it was not, it turned out that the real heart cultivation was their group of heirs to the throne, that is, the group of people who the old people in the south took the most care of and the people they cared about the most. In other words, their direct family has been abandoned to some extent, after all, there are very few people who can survive in the battle for the throne, and since the right to choose has to pay a price.

In the end, Bu Zhi only said one sentence to Gongsun Qian, that is, if he Bu Zhi is called the emperor, then the only heir Shu Shangxin will be the prince, as for the talent of Shu Shangxin, there is no need to say much, although he can't promise anything to only like Gongsun Mingyu alone, but if he is called the emperor, then Gongsun Mingyu will definitely be the queen, as for Bu Youkong, if you can cooperate together, you can cooperate, if you can't cooperate, then Bu Zhi will naturally stand aside with her in-laws.

Gongsun Qian finally smiled and walked out of the mansion of the eldest prince, as for whether the junior Gongsun Mingyu and Bu Shangxin have a relationship, he didn't care, what he cared about was the development of the Gongsun family in the hundreds of years after the queen.

Before Gongsun Qian came to the Great Prince's Mansion, Xia Yan, the wife of the Great Prince, had returned to the Xia family, and the contemporary Xia family head Xia Yanjun was his biological father, and with Xia Yan's efforts, Xia Yanjun finally decided to go out of the mountain, of course, there were only three reasons why he came out of the mountain because of the father-daughter relationship, and the rest was because every family head had the desire to carry forward the family.

In Xinzhen, in a relatively large house, Xia Yanjun, the head of the contemporary Xia family, stood respectfully in front of a blind old man with the eldest concubine Xia Yan.

Xia Yanjun's face was respectful, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the blind old man, and asked sincerely: "Uncle, I think I can bet on Buzhi, and the Gongsun family seems to be in this camp, so I have come to ask my uncle." ”

The blind old man was silent, he lost his eyes in the process of protecting the dragon last time, but he felt a little tired about it, in addition to the rapid development of his family, he himself also broke through to the Martial Emperor level after that battle.

It stands to reason that when he reached the imperial level, he already had the ability to continue his limbs, but he still did not recover his eyes, in order to be quiet and not to be involved in disputes. Others don't know, but he is a participant, he knows, in that battle, although Buzhuang must have won the throne, but the whole dispute should not end so early.

If it was the princes in the past, it would be logical, but he knew very well the hearts of those people in Bu Zhuangbi, and he knew that they were all masters who would not give up lightly. When Buzhuang was bound to ascend the throne, the old man behind the royal family must have not helped them solve their hatred, so after Huang had the courage to go to the side, he knew that those young people must be strengthening themselves, and then giving the enemy a fatal blow, including the powerful Gongsun family.

When he first met Bu Fanchen, he knew whose child it was, as a Martial Emperor powerhouse, how could he not know that Bu Fanchen was extraordinary, plus Bu Youkong had personally come to see him, an old man, Bu Youkong knew that he was a Martial Emperor strongman, but he still didn't invite himself to return to the camp, and he couldn't understand his cultivation, Xia Zhi naturally guessed something.

The reason why he was silent was not because he didn't want to see this nephew, but because Xia Zhi wanted to use this way to tell the head of the Xia family in front of him not to rush for quick success and quick gain, and to do things with intuition. Of course, he can't say his guess clearly, otherwise the original good chess hand and the great friendship with the Heavenly Family will be in vain.

He knew that Huang had the courage to go home at this time, and he didn't do anything, which meant that it was not as simple as simply dying one or two parties, it was very likely that none of the people involved at that time would let go, and even he vaguely felt that this time would be a major event in the history of the southern country. You must know that his intuition has always been very accurate, just like when he identified the weakest Buzhuang Bi Yimai.

Xia Zhi was silent, Xia Yanjun didn't dare to urge, and Xia Yan was also silent. At this time, a girl's voice suddenly came from outside the house, and she knew that it was very lively just by listening to the voice. Xia Zhi, who had been silent when he heard this voice, immediately smiled kindly, as if it was his pistachio.

The door opened, and a woman wearing a light yellow dress appeared in the eyes of everyone, about one meter seven tall, in the reflection of the sun, the slender legs could only see a little shadow, Rao is so, but also gives people a feeling from the nine heavens, the woman has long black hair, and two small braids are also woven on the edge of the long hair, very aura, under the bangs, is a delicate face, in which the smart eyes make people can't help but sink, the person who came is Xia Zhi's granddaughter, Xia Yanjun's niece, Xia Yan's cousin - Xia Zhenzhen.

The woman called out to her grandfather, and found that there were uncles and cousins in the house, her eyes rolled, and she spoke again: "Uncle, good afternoon, the imperial concubine." ”

Looking at the atmosphere in the room, Xia Zhenzhen realized something, frowned a little, and asked suspiciously, "Are you here to see grandpa today?" After finishing speaking, the blush on her cheeks had not completely faded.

Xia Yanjun saw Xia Zhenzhen and knew that this was a good opportunity to ease the atmosphere, then took the steps and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen is back, yes, I and the imperial concubine are free today, so I will come to see my uncle and you, this is not because there is something, I am about to leave." After speaking, he glanced at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan can manage the entire Great Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner, and there is no need to say much about the means and understanding, she instantly understood what her father meant, and also said: "We have really only been seen for a few days, and we have become beautiful again, which has not made the talents in Kyoto think about it." ”

Xia Zhenzhen's personality is naïve and lively, and when she heard her cousin praise herself, she didn't think much about it, an innocent smile appeared on her face, and she replied a little shyly: "The imperial concubine is too famous, how can she praise her sister so much." “

Xia Yanjun smiled and said nothing, while Xia Yan said with a smile: "Really, my father and I have important matters today, so I won't bother you and my uncle and grandfather, and in a few days, my sister will come back to you to catch up." After speaking, he turned around with Xia Yanjun, said goodbye to Xia Zhishi, and left, but when he went out, the father and daughter saw a young figure, squirming and standing outside the door.

Xia Zhenzhen is not only Xia Zhi's heart, but also the focus of the Xia family's hidden old man, so Xia Yanjun categorically did not dare to discuss the case with Xia Zhi, who was silent and had a relatively clear attitude, in front of Xia Zhenzhen.

Waiting for Xia Yanjun and the two to walk away, Xia Zhenzhen happily ran behind Xia Zhi, rubbed the old man's shoulders, and then asked mischievously: "Old man, what's the matter with you, I thought you were talking on the street, but when I took my friends to see you talking, I found that you were not there, but I was embarrassed, so you just say, how to compensate." After speaking, the look of worry in his eyes slowly disappeared.

Although Xia Zhenzhen has an innocent and lively personality, it does not mean that she understands mundane things, on the contrary, she has a very high emotional intelligence, she actually guessed the purpose of her uncle and cousin's coming, just looking at her grandfather's appearance, she didn't seem to agree, so she didn't ask more, after all, everyone else went home to participate in the change of imperial power, and she came home from Lingcang Academy just to guard her grandfather and not let him participate in those tedious things.

Xia Zhi really had no way to take his only granddaughter, and when he heard that the latter had already talked about the topic of compensation, he couldn't help but leak a helpless expression, and replied: "Didn't you let grandpa stay at home and don't go out randomly, grandpa won't start resting from today?"

Xia Zhenzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, but immediately pretended to be angry and said, "That's not good, you still have to make up for it." ”

Xia Zhi knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, grandpa will make you your favorite garlic-flavored lobster at night." Eh, it's hard work, I'm still blind at a lot of age, and the girls are almost twenty years old, so I don't want to say anything about happiness, I still have to serve, it's hard to be a man. ”

Xia Zhenzhen's pure smile bloomed on his face, extremely beautiful, he didn't speak, but the strength of rubbing his shoulders was more comfortable.

Seeing that his girl seemed to have forgotten something, Xia Zhi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is the same generation of that family that can let us really bring it to listen to the book and tell it to grandpa." A funny smile flashed across his face.

Hearing this, Xia Zhenzhen seemed to suddenly realize something, and his expression froze. Then he hurriedly ran out of the door, and shouted outside as he ran: "Huang Haoyun, you're a stupid person, haven't you been called for so long, don't you know how to come in, why are you so stupid." “

Huang Haoyun, who had been waiting outside, couldn't help but smack his tongue a little when he heard Xia Zhenzhen calling himself, thinking to himself Grandma, we are also Huanghua girls, I was also brought to the house by you for the first time, and as soon as you got home, you flew into the door, why did I go in alone, but I didn't dare to disobey Na Nizi's words, so I had to reply: "Eh, come on, come on, I'm stupid, I'm stupid, Brother Xia, you bother to teach." ”

Xia Zhenzhen is Huang Haoyun's "Brother Xia", and Huang Haoyun is Xia Zhenzhen's "Sister Huang", Huang Haoyun was unhappy at first, but there was no way, he really couldn't take her.

In fact, Xia Zhi didn't have to think about it at all, he knew who Xia Zhenzhen's friend was, except for the little sword idiot of the Huang family, who else could make his own girl so attentive, of course, except for the sword, only his own girl could make that kid fall into obsession again.

So he didn't want to die early, so he didn't want to participate in that battle, and if he wanted to die, he would die in the battle of Akagi, at least accumulate some merits for his juniors, so that they could wait until they were stronger to experience those things, after all, this year's juniors are really really likeable.

You must know that the age of martial arts and mortals cannot be confused, after all, cultivators spend most of their time cultivating, and rarely experience the world, just like their peers, there are few cultivators who can be more sensible than ordinary mortals, that has nothing to do with intelligence, it just depends on the accumulation of WTO accession, which is also the reason why many martial cultivators are still simple at the age of tens or hundreds.
