The housekeeper is the same as the Zhao family, but the current situation is very different. The Zhao family is in ruins, and the housekeeper is in charge, but he is an official and a hussar general, commanding the world's soldiers and horses.

Not far from the Zhao family, there is a mansion, the scale of which is only equal to the Zhao family, but the momentum is even more compelling.

The attic of the interior house is scattered, the ranking is strictly ordered, and there is the atmosphere of a military general.

In the study, the steward and his son are discussing the prince's affairs.

Guan Xing looks like he is only in his thirties, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and there seems to be murder in his eyes, and he is not angry and arrogant.

Guan is in his twenties, and he is an elite general in the army.

"Father, although this incident happened suddenly, I was prepared. And with my sister's cleverness, I'm afraid I'm already planning. For the position of the crown prince, except for that Zhou Jian, we all have a chance. ”

Guan He squinted his eyes slightly and said.

"What is the chance? What is that, what we want is to assist Fei'er in the ascendant. Guan Xing's face showed a touch of arrogance, and he said domineeringly.

"Yes, you must assist Fei'er in the upper position. ”

was stimulated by the arrogance of Guan Xing, and Guan Er's self-confidence immediately rose to the top, and his face was determined to succeed.

The butler, however, was prepared.

................

The Hou Ming family of Chongtian is the leader of the magnates. The contemporary Cupola Marquis Mingyuan is the official worship of the Great Sikong, and is the most prominent one of the Cupola Marquis in the past dynasties.

A mansion where the powerful live is located in the south of the city, and the nobility is compelling. The Cupola Mansion is one of the top notch.

The flowers, birds and fish in the house are fragrant, and the luxury is compelling.

In the hall, Mingyuan and his two sons sat separately.

Ming Yuan looked like he was forty or fifty years old, with a fair complexion, an elegant temperament, and a noble style. Kneeling on the top, your hands naturally resting on your thighs, very neat.

Mingde, the eldest son of Ming Yuan, looks like his father, worships Shangshu officially, and is an elite civil official in the court. Kneeling on the right side of Ming Yuan, his eyes were shining, and he looked very scheming.

The second son, Mingdian, is slightly younger, but he is also a salt official of the Shaofu in the middle of the court. Kneeling on Mingyuan's left side, he also looked very shrewd.

"Father, this time we are also well prepared, in terms of strength in light and dark, we are no weaker than the housekeeper and the Deng family. But I'm afraid that my sister doesn't have that mind. ”

Thinking of his sister Concubine Ming's surname, Mingdian sighed.

"Don't worry, your sister really doesn't have that mind, but your nephew Chong'er is ambitious. And it's precisely because your sister doesn't have that mind that she appears to be virtuous, and naturally more suitable for the position of queen, isn't it?"

Ming Yuan touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Now the arrow has to be fired. No matter what, our Ming family will act. The question is how to win. De'er, do you have a good plan?"

At the same time, Mingyuan also had the thought of considering his son in his heart, and turned his head to Mingde Dao.

"The three of us are actually balanced, and the most important thing is actually the Zhao family, as well as the power of those old ministers in the court, these people can destroy the balance. ”

Mingde also knew what it meant, and said deeply.

"It's not easy to win over those old ministers. Mingdian suddenly understood what Mingde meant, but he also frowned.

"It's not easy, but we have an advantage, don't forget that my sister is not only the most virtuous, but also had a friendship with Queen Zhao back then, which is a breakthrough. Mingde said with a smile.

"Well said. ”

Mingyuan applauded Mingde's intentions.

Immediately, Ming Yuan stroked his palms again and said with a smile: "When the crown prince canonized, you must not fight for any crown prince, we just need to follow the Zhao family and the old ministers of the court to attack Zhou Feng." Exposing ambition too early will be disgusting. ”

"No. ”

Mingde, Mingdian's eyes showed a sudden look, and he promised.

The eldest son of the king, Zhou Jian, broke a leg and automatically withdrew from the competition for the crown prince's position, and the canonization of the crown prince spread a month later.

The Deng family, the Ming family, the housekeeper, and the Zhao family all moved for their own purposes.

At the same time, with these four families as the center, all the civil and military ministers in the entire Zhou capital were involved, and they took action for the canonization of the crown prince this time, even if someone wanted to be a wall grass.

A month passed quickly.

And the canonization of the crown prince is also close at hand.

The guards of Qingshui Palace are also becoming more and more strict, and it is not nice to say, not even a fly wants to fly in.

However, Zhou Jian and Zhou Meng's life were very calm.

Zhou Meng has never been out since she was a child, she just needs her brother and Xiaobai. Zhou Jian is concentrating on practicing Zhou Tian Change.

In a palace in Qingshui Palace, it has been transformed into a practice room by Zhou Jian.

At this moment, the door of the practice room was closed, and the house was very dark.

There was also a mixture of sweat and a fishy smell in the air.

Zhou Jian's changes have reached a very critical juncture. The skin of his entire body had begun to appear red snake scales.

The whole body is like a red python, constantly writhing. With this twist and turn, a huge pain struck.

This is a change in the entire body, and the entire inside and outside are transformed into a snake demon in order to gain the power of the snake demon.

Bones, internal organs, are either upside down, shrinking, or completely changing.

This is an unimaginable pain for ordinary people, but for Zhou Jian, it is also an unimaginable opportunity.

has been imprisoned for more than ten years, and he is really far behind those younger brothers and sisters who are concubines, he has no exercises, let alone all kinds of pills.

Zhou Jian roared wildly in his heart, and forcibly endured the pain around his body. Strands of demonic power were activated, and he began to wash the marrow and tendons of his body.

With the flow of demonic power, thick sweat droplets and some black dirt flowed out from the cracks in the scales.

The air in the practice room became more and more turbid.

With the passage of time, Zhou Jian's entire body became closer and closer to the Chilian Python, and the entire body exuded a red glow.

Suddenly, the gray practice room was illuminated.

"Roar. ”

With a roar in his heart, Zhou Jian completely changed.

A two-zhang long, bucket-thick red python appeared.

Suddenly, the closed snake's eyes opened, a burst of red light flashed, and the red python swam quickly, and soon climbed a huge column.

Wrapped all around, not long after, this cylinder exercised inch by inch, and the entire practice room shook for a while.

Immediately, the red python opened its mouth and spat apricots, and a pillar of fire gushed out, and the wall was immediately pierced. There was also a fire burning in the room.

But in the midst of this fire, the red python was like a water snake playing in the water, swimming happily and with ease.

After a while, the red python began to change slowly, and Zhou Jian's face began to emerge, his hands and feet began to appear.

With a stir, Zhou Jian appeared in the sea of fire.

At this moment, Zhou Jian is already very different, Zhou's body is full of tower-like muscles, but his complexion is as white as jade.

The sword eyebrows entered the sideburns, and the face, which was originally a little weak, suddenly became shapely, very hard.

After a while, the closed eyes slowly opened, and the joy slowly rippled, filling Zhou Jian's entire body and mind.

Strength, a force that he would not normally dare to think of, filled his whole body.

He Zhou Jian relied on his own hands to obtain the power he should have obtained, one offset print at a time, without any falsehood.

"Whew. ”

Immediately, Zhou Jian opened his mouth and inhaled, and the sea of fire in the sky poured into Zhou Jian's mouth like a sea of rivers.

The sea of fire is gone. Instead, the strength of Zhou Jian's whole body skyrocketed, and there was a feeling of swelling.

With a satisfied smile, Zhou Jian walked towards the closed door. Under the agitation of a demonic force, the door of the room was knocked over.

Zhou Jian** leaned on his body and stepped out.
