"I remember that the family motto of the Situ family has always been to do business regardless of the government and politics, what makes the head of the mirror willing to wade into the troubled waters of this king?"

The prince's eyes when he looked at Situ Jing suddenly became extremely sharp.

"Regarding this, in fact, it is the same reason as the mirror chose Su Shaoxia. Situ Jing chuckled and said, "It's just a businessman's vision, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already expressed his attitude, stand in line early, in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the orthodoxy, and my Situ family can also be promoted with the Tao, maybe I, the head of the company, can become the prime minister one day!"

"Head Mirror, do you know that if what you just said is exposed, even if Old Mr. Situ is here, Chen Shaojie has countless ways to deal with your Situ family. The prince said in a deep voice.

"At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally find ways to protect our Situ family. After that, Situ Jing saluted the prince, and Su Mu recognized that this was the meaning of swearing allegiance.

"The Situ family and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will do their best to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend to the throne smoothly. ”

"Okay, this king will believe that you are sincere, but if you let this king know that you have different intentions, this king's methods will not be worse than Chen Shaojie. Although the prince's words were fierce and cruel, the expression on his face was still indifferent.

"Jing knows, please rest assured His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Since the Situ family has decided to support this king, why don't you transfer Su Shaoxia to this king together? The two brothers of the Hanshan Sword Sect went into battle together, if they can really make some achievements, it will be a good story to spread it. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really thinks that Su Shaoxia can make a difference at the clan conference?"

"Of course, isn't it because you think so that you are willing to invest in him?" The prince turned to Su Mu and said, "Su Mu, are you willing to join this king's disciple and fight this clan conference as another sect?"

Su Mu was stunned for this sudden change, and couldn't help but glance at Situ Jing suspiciously, although Situ Jing didn't have any expression or change in expression, Su Mu could read the answer she wanted from her eyes.

"It is naturally Su Mu's honor to be able to join His Royal Highness the Prince, but Su Mu joined the Situ family first, so he still needs to get the approval of the adults. With that, Su Mu ignored the severe pain on his body, struggled to stand up, and saluted Situ Jing.

"I hope your Excellency agrees. ”

Situ Jing smiled, "Since our Situ family is already standing behind His Royal Highness the Prince, naturally there is no need to divide you and me, from today on, Su Mu, you can rest assured to join the door of the East Palace, hurry up and go to the room to pack your things, and go back with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a while, and prepare for the clan conference in three days." ”

"Yes. Su Mu glanced at Situ Jing, said hello to the prince and Li Xihan, and left the back garden with the Situ servants who had just led him here.

"After today, this king can be sure that the name of the first person in the world should be a lie. The crown prince Liu Changxi said with a smile, "Even such a jade is willing to give up, it's really not your style." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the Situ family and the East Palace are both prosperous and lossy, and the gains and losses of the East Palace are what I am most concerned about at the moment. ”

"It seems that today's trip has gained more than the king expected. The prince sat down again, raised his teacup and made a "->>" to Situ Jing

Please".

After leaving the back garden for a long time, Su Mu finally couldn't help but ask the Situ family servant, "Do you know what your family master meant by the disciple before?"

"The so-called disciples are some systems played by some big families in Luojing. The servant explained, "Luo Jing has many powerful families, but they are not good at martial arts, and they have no clan inheritance, so they recruit those potential disciples of the Ten Masters Clan as disciples to participate in the competition before each clan conference. These disciples represent both their original clan and the family that recruited them, which can be regarded as a disguised investment. ”

"But what's in it for them, no matter what results these children get, doesn't it only have an impact on the rating of their original sect?"

"The premise of influencing the sect rating is that the top 100 contestants of each clan conference do not hold important positions in the clan courtyard after receiving the results, and still return to their respective clans. Otherwise, he will be revoked from his original clan registration and will simply handle the affairs of the clan as a disciple and court official. ”

Su Mu had heard of this, generally speaking, the top 100 rankings would basically be surrounded by the clans of the upper three sects, and occasionally some potential disciples of the middle three sects rushed to the front. And even if such disciples get results, they will not choose to continue to return to their own clan, either they will be recruited by the big clan to continue their further cultivation, or join the clan court to serve in important positions for the imperial court.

And the system of men and priests is obviously aimed at this small number of special cases.

These disciples who have neither backstage nor resources will naturally have a chance to go further if they are really talented enough to enter the top 100. Recruiting them to become their own disciples in advance is equivalent to an advanced investment, after all, after they have achieved results, the price they need to pay to fight for it is completely different.

On the other hand, early recruitment also reflects a kind of trust and can also give a different feeling.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

"Understood. Su Mu said, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

A person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status will be his entire world in the future, so why should he participate in the solicitation of disciples, he should not care about personal gains and losses at all.

Judging from the state of his senior brother Li Xihan, it is obvious that the prince has really invested a lot of resources in him over the years, and only then did he see his own strength and proposed to Situ Jing to join him as well, which shows that the prince really cares about the actual performance of the clan conference.

What does this act mean? It shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as powerful as he seems, or that the enemy he has to face is too powerful.

Su Mu couldn't help but think of what happened in the underground secret room of the Ziji Temple that night, and now that he had successfully hooked up with the prince, if he took this opportunity to inform him of what Chen Shaojie had done, would the prince stop it?

Speaking of which, today's meeting with the crown prince was originally arranged by Wang Shi, and didn't Wang Shi always oppose the immediate rescue now? Based on his understanding of himself, he must have imagined that if he could get in touch with the crown prince, he would probably inform the prince of the matter.

Deliberately created an opportunity for himself to come into contact with the prince?

The doubts in Su Mu's heart became deeper and deeper, and only then did he really feel that the water in this Luo Jing was really deep.
