Chapter 35: What Happened
"That's right, this King Zhao is the third son of the emperor, and his fief is in Bazhou, west of Youzhou."
"He has been building a mansion for seven or eight years, but because he is a concubine, and his biological mother is just a palace maid, without the help of his mother's family, even after many years of operation, but compared with the eldest prince Yan Wang and the second prince Wu Wang, it is still a big difference."
"However, if the Rongyang Royal Mansion can be brought into his hands, then his power will increase a lot."
"If you compete for the throne in the future, you can also have an advantage."
Zhang Xishi explained these things.
But Xu Rong was a little confused.
He was originally at the bottom, and now he is just a small catcher.
Even this was the first time he had left the confines of Cangqing City, and he didn't know many things.
For example, how powerful is the eldest prince and where is the fiefdom......
But on the surface, he still understands the meaning.
Rongyang Wangfu started with military exploits, and has a huge influence in Youzhou, Yangzhou, and Bazhou.
If he receives this influence, the Son of Heaven will have to scruple about one or two.
"It's just that King Zhao can't enter the Rongyang Palace, and it's impossible for others to watch him control the Rongyang Palace, right?"
Although King Zhao is a concubine, he is still the son of the emperor, and how can he become a son-in-law with a low status?
The status of the son-in-law is extremely low, and it is better than some subordinates, and it is not as good as those who control the real power in the house, which shows how low his status is.
If you become a son-in-law, you will be looked down upon by others and looked down upon by the world.
Although there are many benefits of becoming the son-in-law of the palace, even better than the situation of King Zhao at this time, it is impossible for Tianhuang nobles to surrender their status.
Even if he agrees, it is impossible for the emperor to agree, and even the princes in the court cannot agree, this is a matter of the face of the heavenly family.
"Naturally not, King Zhao wants to control the nephew of the prince and let him inherit the throne, so that he can control the Rongyang Palace."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xishi frowned, "This time, our group originally went to celebrate King Zhao's thirtieth birthday on behalf of the Rongyang Palace, but we inadvertently learned about this matter, so I thought about going back to the mansion to inform the prince of this matter, so that he could take precautions earlier." ”
"It's just that King Zhao seems to have noticed this incident and sent someone to intercept and kill us halfway."
"Our group scattered and fled, and we don't know what happened to the others."
Zhang Xishi was a little depressed.
This time it was a bit unexpected that they were caught off guard.
In the absence of an heir, it is perfectly possible for a nephew to inherit the throne.
You can also adopt an heir, but I don't know why the King of Rongyang didn't do it.
After Xu Rong satisfied his curiosity, he didn't care much about this matter.
He's just a small shrimp now, and if he wants to get involved in this kind of big thing, it's a dead end.
"Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry, something like this, King Rongyang must have expected it a long time ago, but this time he saw King Zhao clearly."
According to Xu Rong, how could a person like King Rongyang, who had seen the power struggle, not know that there would be such consequences?
So you should have been prepared a long time ago, and Zhang Xishi didn't have to worry so much at all.
"What Brother Yu said is, but what I am most worried about now is the lives of other brothers, I am lucky to have met Brother Yu, and others do not have this kind of luck."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xishi laughed at himself, "Thanks to my average strength, if I am a cultivator of the Blood Furnace Realm, then the strength of the people who are chasing and killing this time will definitely be stronger, and even if there are more brothers at that time, it will be in vain." ”
“……”
Xu Rong was a little speechless, if it was really someone from the Blood Furnace Realm who was chasing and killing, then he would be in danger just now.
Thinking of this, Xu Rong decided to leave as soon as possible tomorrow, otherwise he didn't know how he would be affected by this guy.
"You can take this jade pendant Brother Yu, if there is something in the future, you can bring this jade pendant to me, I will definitely do my best to help."
Zhang Xishi took a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Xu Rong.
Looking at the color and transparency of the jade pendant, you know that this jade pendant is not an ordinary color.
However, Xu Rong did not refuse.
Such a valuable thing, even if he won't go to Zhang Xishi in the future, he can exchange it for money.
Putting the jade pendant into his arms, Xu Rong said: "Brother Zhang, there is still some time before dawn, you should rest and rest first, you still have injuries on your body, how can you go back to Rongyang Mansion if you don't have enough spirits?" ”
Zhang Xishi nodded: "Thank you." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xishi closed his eyes and fell asleep against the wall.
Xu Rong had been asleep for a few hours, but he didn't feel sleepy.
He simply began to go outside and practice the Tempest Sword.
Martial arts is a thing that focuses on accumulation, a little today, a little tomorrow, and a lot of progress will be made after accumulation.
And this Tempest Sword can also be regarded as a kind of proof of his identity.
After dawn, the two prepared to go their separate ways.
Xu Rong set the mountain temple on fire, covered up the traces on the corpses, and then turned over and got on his horse.
"Brother Zhang, goodbye today, I don't know when we will see you again, let's say goodbye, take care of each other!"
"Take care!"
The two men beat their horses and headed in different directions.
……
Looking at the tall city tower in front of him, Xu Rong was a little amazed: "This Wan'an City and Cangqing City are both county seats, but they are very different. ”
"This city wall is nearly twenty zhang high, and compared to Cangqing City, it really doesn't deserve to carry shoes."
Fortunately, I saw a lot of high-rise buildings in my previous life, although this Wan'an City is very majestic, it does not make Xu Rong have any fear.
It's just a momentary novelty.
After Xu Rong approached on horseback, he turned over and dismounted, and then led the horse to line up through the city gate and enter Wan'an City.
The first impression of this Wan'an City to Xu Rong was that there were many people.
Although it is not as much as rubbing shoulders and the like, it is much more lively here than Cangqing City.
"It's not much worse than the county town, right?"
Xu Rong has not been to the county seat of Qingling County, but he has heard of some, and Wan'an City is not inferior in the slightest.
"If that's the case, it's not difficult to guess the White Lotus Sect's thoughts."
The prosperity here is not inferior to the county town, but the strength of the imperial court is much worse, so it is naturally safer here.
Xu Rong led the horse and wandered around, but in fact he was looking for the special mark of the White Lotus Sect.
Subsequently, at the corner of a green building, Xu Rong found the mark.
Following the direction of the guide, Xu Rong entered a low building area.
Coming to a house with a yard, Xu Rong stepped forward and patted the door knocker.
