Huiji County Tianlinjiang Xiangjia Water Army Camp.

There are 10 large ships on the river, these large ships are dozens of zhang high and more than 100 zhang long, and they are horizontal on the river, almost occupying most of the river.

On the big ship, a group of armor soldiers with helmets and armor were practicing, murderous, and the military might was solemn.

A middle-aged man who looked like he was about forty years old stood at the bow of the most central ship, this person was tall, with long hands and feet, a resolute face, a flat expression, and a slight indifference. Looking into the distance with deep eyes, just standing calmly, it exudes an invisible coercion, and a terrifying domineering.

Behind him, on the top of the ship, Hunting Hunt fluttered a big black flag, and three vigorous and fierce characters "Zhenxi Hou" were written on it.

A septuagenarian walked slowly behind this person, bowed down and said respectfully, "General......"

As soon as the middle-aged man turned around, there was a faint inquiry in his expression, and there was a faint hint of a smile, the old man was stunned, and hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, Master Hou! I'm sorry, the old slave is used to it." ”

"Uncle Liu, you have taken care of me since I was a child, why are you so polite to me?" The middle-aged man said mildly without the slightest hint of annoyance.

"Master Hou, in the past, you were the little master, and I was your guard, so naturally you can be casual. Now you are the head of the family, and you are the newly canonized Zhenxi Marquis of the emperor, how dare the old slave make a mistake. ”

"...... the Marquis of Zhenxi" The middle-aged man's expression was slightly sarcastic, and said: "The emperor has long wanted the Xiang family to inherit this title, and now he has returned it to the Xiang family, but he just wants the Xiang family to take care of this great Qin country for him and be a housekeeper...... It's just that this home is already full of holes, and I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on when the wind blows, so what's the point of seeing?"

Hearing such rebellious words, the old man didn't dare to answer, just lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the ground.

The middle-aged man looked at the old man and sighed. He knew that Uncle Liu, who had taken care of him since he was a child, could no longer return to his former appearance.

The middle-aged man is the head of the Xiang family, the former general of Pingxi, the new Marquis of Zhenxi, Xiang Ling.

"The emperor ordered me to attack Jiujiang from Huiji in two months, and cooperate with General Zhang to copy Chen Ying's back road. The Left Route Army still lacks a lieutenant general, Tian'er means, I will appoint one for him, Uncle Liu thinks, who is more suitable?"

The old man's expression was even more respectful: "Young Master Tian can ask the opinion of the Hou Ye, which shows that his temperament is a lot calmer, which is gratifying." ”

Xiang Ling smiled faintly: "He is not temperamentally restrained, I think it is the gang of guys from the family elders' association, he is too tight, he can't stand it." ”

"This ...... The old slave felt that Xiang Haidong, the captain of the Wuwei School, was worthy of this position. ”

"I think so too, it's just that the guys in the family elders are more inclined to Xiang Hu. ”

"This ...... Although Xiang Hu's martial arts are good, his ability to lead troops to fight is average. The old man replied with a slight frown.

"But he's the second. Xiang Ling's expression couldn't tell whether he was laughing or angry, and his fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the boat: "The second child has always been very close to the old family, and Tian'er is under such great pressure, so he is naturally inseparable from him." ”

The old slave was even more respectful, bent down and barely raised his head: "The second master may not understand, only if the Hou Ye is here, the Xiang family can be the Xiang family." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Liu, do you also have a sycophant?" Xiang Ling smiled faintly, but his expression was quickly cold: "But he doesn't think so! Maybe he thinks that the Xiang family without me is the Xiang family." ”

The old man didn't speak, Xiang Ling was silent for a moment, and said, "At this time, if you want to make the second child more stable, why don't you give this Zhonglang general to Xiang Hu?"

"But Xiang Haidong has always been loyal to Master Hou for many years. ”

"Sooner or later, this position will be his, just a little longer. Xiang Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then let the two of them fight, if Xiang Hu loses, the family elders will have nothing to say." ”

"But Xiang Hu is at the peak of the Guiyuan Realm, and Xiang Haidong is only in the early stage, and he has no chance of winning at all. The old man's tone was flat, but he was still fighting for Xiang Haidong.

Xiang Ling looked at the old man playfully: "Uncle Liu, are you so eager to let your son-in-law take the throne?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged: "Virtuous people don't avoid relatives." ”

"Haha! Actually, I still don't understand, Uncle Liu, how did you let Ah Lan marry Xiang Haidong in the first place. So many direct children have broken their heads, and you just handed over your most precious daughter to a side child. ”

The old man's expression revealed a hint of tenderness: "That is Ah Lan's own choice, and although I am a little older, I can see it clearly." Those direct children don't like Ah Lan, it's just my old man. But I can't become a woman and marry them, so what's the solution?"

The old man looked a little cynical at this time, but he said very seriously: "The old man will only follow behind you in this life, so I don't want my daughter to follow others to cause any trouble." Since you don't like Ah Lan again, then I have to keep her away from the center of the whirlpool and follow a side disciple, which is the best choice. ”

Xiang Ling looked at the old man in front of him with a smile, there was no expression on his majestic face, but there was a touch of emotion in his eyes: "Let Xiang Haidong be wronged again, and fight with Xiang Hu to find the gap." Wait patiently, sooner or later this position will be his. If his martial arts are stronger, he will naturally be able to climb higher. ”

The old man sighed slightly, knowing that Xiang Ling's mind was broken, so he stopped talking.

"By the way, in a few years, Uncle Liu's grandson will come? What is it called...... Huzi?" Xiang Ling suddenly asked.

"The nickname is Huzi, and the big name is Xiang Yu. ”

"Xiang Yu?" Xiang Ling's expression was slightly surprised: "When the second youngest son was born, I suggested giving him this name, but he didn't want to live or die, so he had to call it Xiang Ji...... Uncle Liu, did you take this name?"

"It's really just a coincidence, this name was given by Xiang Haidong, but it is slightly the same as what you see as a hero, Master Hou. ”

"Are you praising me, or are you praising Xiang Haidong?" Xiang Ling couldn't cry or laugh, only to find that his Uncle Liu's heart was not too far away from him, and he couldn't help but feel good: "How is Xiang Yu and Xiang Ji compared? ”

"The qualifications are good, and among the heirs of the Xiang family, they can be ranked first-class, but they should be inferior to the Xiang family. ”

Xiang Ling's expression was a little complicated: "I heard that Xiang Ji was already capable of lifting ten jun, and I thought it was nonsense, so I sent someone to check, but it turned out to be true, the second child gave birth to a good son." ”

The old man's always calm expression suddenly showed shock, and even his hands trembled, obviously not knowing the news. He said in disbelief: "Shijun?...... Six-year-old physical training realm?!"

One jun is thirty catties, and ten jun is three hundred catties, which is precisely the first step of a martial artist, the weight that can be lifted in the early stage of the physical realm. In the eyes of the old man, this kind of realm was no different from an ant, but when he thought that the other party was only six years old, the old man only felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his heart, and he was so shocked that he was speechless.

This shows that this child is born with divine power and talent Yibin, that his body has infinite possibilities, and that if nothing happens, this child's future achievements will be amazing.

"I didn't believe it at first, but later I learned that the second child didn't know where to get a Xieniu Demon Pill, and Xiang Ji happened to be born that year. ”

"Xieniu Demon Pill?!" the old man gasped and suddenly understood everything.

There are demon beasts in the heavens and the earth, and they are born with supernatural powers, and the top existence among them can turn over rivers and seas, open mountains and crack rocks. can rival the top martial artists, and Xie Niu is one of the best.

In the long years, the demon beast can condense the demon pill, which is the essence of its life. It can be used to make divine weapons, magic weapons, elixirs, and even promote cultivation, which can be said to be infinitely useful.

There is also a secret method that can cleanse the blood of people. That is, when the baby is born, the demon pill is sealed in the baby dantian, and it is used to cleanse the baby's bloodline, so that it has the power of the demon beast's bloodline, so if the baby can survive safely, it will have a monster-like strong body or qualification in the future, and the more it grows, the more powerful it is.

Newborn babies are congenitally protective, and there is a trace of residual induction with the Heavenly Dao, and this time is the easiest time to absorb the Demon Beast Demon Pill. But even so, there are very few babies who can withstand the monstrous yuan power in the bloodline of the demon beast, and the ten ** are all exploded and forgotten, and very few can survive, and it can even be said that there is no one in ten thousand.

The old man didn't expect that Xiang Yi, the second head of the Xiang family, would be so ruthless that he would bear the Xieniu Demon Pill with his own son. What he didn't expect was that the other party actually succeeded.

Thinking of the ambition and ** behind this ruthlessness, the old man felt a little shuddered, looked up at Xiang Ling, and said tremblingly: "Master Hou......"

Xiang Ling was full of indifference, and said lightly: "As long as I am in one day, he will not be able to turn over the wind and waves." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if my son is not as good as the second son, then it is not interesting for the position of the head of the family to be passed on. The head of the Xiang family is strong, this is a family rule, and I will naturally abide by it. ”

"But...... This, this, such means, isn't this cheating?" The old man understood Xiang Ling's decision, and subconsciously felt bad in his heart, and stammered when he spoke.

"Cheating? huh...... Who told me that I didn't have the ruthlessness of the second child? Besides, what are the chances of success in this kind of cheating? Luck is also strength, and if this item really has such a blessing, I can't stop it. ”
