Daliang Shen Xiuming was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, turned over and sat up from the kang, and said expectantly, "Brother Xiaoqiu...... You...... Are you still complaining about me?"
Originally, there were four teenagers living in the room, but now only Xiaoqiu and the Shen family brothers are left, and the other has gone to another room to avoid suspicion.
Before Xiaoqiu could speak, Erliang Shen Xiuwei hurriedly said, "Brother, you are too ...... To be honest, you don't know the character of the faint San'er, why did you confess to him, and still in front of so many people. ”
Shen Xiuming's face flushed, fortunately, it was dark and no one could see it, "I don't want to, but Daoist Zhang helped the prince, he glared, who would dare to resist?"
"Brother Xiaoqiu dare. ”
Shen Xiuming didn't want to entangle with his younger brother anymore, and looked at Xiao Qiu's position in the dark, "Brother Xiao Qiu, you can offend both the prince and Daoist Zhang, you are so bold, dare to call him 'Halo San'er' in public, today at least ten people secretly asked me about the origin of 'Halo San'er'." ”
"Then did you sue them for the truth?" asked Shen Xiuwei.
The confrontation in the afternoon ended without a problem, and seeing Xin Youtao's expression change, Zhang Lingsheng immediately ordered the children to disperse, not giving Xiaoqiu a chance to continue humiliating the prince.
"Well, after that, you don't need to say that everyone can guess. ”
Shen Xiuwei snorted disdainfully, in the afternoon he stood firmly by Xiaoqiu's side, and he didn't regret it at all afterwards, "After everyone knows that San'er is actually a coward, see how he is still public." ”
Xiaoqiu lay on her back on the kang, "What did Xin Youtao tell you later?"
Shen Xiuming's face turned red again, after the confrontation in the afternoon was over, he and several young people from Yelin Town were called by Xin Youtao to say something, he was the last to come out of the prince's room, and he wanted to mention it later, but Xiaoqiu asked directly, "It's nothing, the prince is ...... Brother Xiaoqiu, don't fight with him, the person the prince hates the most is Shen Hao, he said, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to walk over and admit your mistakes to him at breakfast tomorrow, he will not blame the past, and will give you many gifts. You forgot, Shen Hao has been your opponent since he was a child, why do you take care of things for him and stand up for him? He has the support of his own uncle, and he doesn't need help from others, we are already homeless, and we were finally taken in by Pang Shan, so stop causing trouble everywhere. A prince is a prince after all, and Pang Shan must be facing him up and down. ”
Xiao Qiu listened quietly, the two have always been best friends, whenever Xiao Qiu is impulsive, only Shen Xiuming can persuade him to turn back, but not this time.
Xiaoqiu also sat up from the kang and patted Erliang Shen Xiuwei on the shoulder to stop him from speaking, "Daliang, I call you Shen Xiuming in front of outsiders, and I still call you Daliang in private." ”
"Whether in public or in private, I will call you Brother Xiaoqiu. "Daliang is a little emotional.
"The whereabouts of Yelin Town are unknown, there are only nine of us left, we are Yelin Town, you, me, and Shen Hao are no exception, Xin Youtao wants to make friends, I am willing, and I will never mention the things at that time, but Xin Youtao does not want friends, but attendants and servants. Daliang, we can't bow our heads, if we lower our heads today, we will never be able to lift them up in the future, in that case, Yelin Town will be gone. Help me return the dagger to Xin Youtao, and tell him that I will not interfere with the river water with him. ”
When Xin Youtao became a "prisoner" in the forest, Xiaoqiu snatched a dagger, he felt that it should be returned to its original owner now, but Erliang Shen Xiuwei was very reluctant, "Why do you want to pay it back?
Xiaoqiu still took out the dagger and handed it to Shen Xiuming, the room was quiet, and the three teenagers sitting on the kang were all thinking about their hearts.
"Can I stay here tonight?" a voice outside the door ended the silence in the room.
It's Shen Hao, I don't know how long he has been outside the door.
"Of course. Xiaoqiu said, giving up a place to the side.
Shen Hao pushed the door in, laid out a set of futons on the kang, stripped and lay down, the room was calm, and after a while he said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoqiu." ”
Daliang Shen Xiuming fell asleep and never spoke again.
Xin Youtao's arrival completely broke the original pattern in the hall, before that, dozens of children were naturally divided into several small groups, and they had contacts with each other, and the nine teenagers in Yelin Town had a slightly higher status because of the large number of people, but that's all, there was no one to bully whom, and there was no hatred.
Prince Saisuke demanded that everyone make a clear choice, either to be on his side or to be relegated to the minority of alternatives.
Xin Youtao didn't get up in the morning to practice boxing, and the children's division was not obvious, and when he appeared in the dining room in the front yard, it was all different.
Xiaoqiu, Fangfang, Shen Hao, and Shen Xiuwei sat at the same table, and the other children were as far away from them as possible, while Shen Xiuming and the other five Yelin Town teenagers sat in the corner, away from the core of the battle, they were still in the "observation period", and they were not qualified to be too close to the prince.
Xin Youtao first occupied a table alone, his eyes swept around the dining room, and he designated the two children to sit opposite him, and then accepted the thanks from him in turn while eating, the gifts he generously distributed yesterday were of great effect, and nearly half of the disciples recruited by Pang Shan were from the Xijie country, so he was naturally in awe of his own prince.
Xiaoqiu didn't care about the snubbing in the dining room, and he could only talk and laugh with Erliang Shen Xiu, Fangfang smiled and didn't say anything, while Shen Hao looked very depressed, feeling that he had affected three partners in a row.
Several village women who delivered the food noticed today's anomaly and cautiously pretended not to know, only the village woman with high cheekbones kept looking around, her eyes were full of curiosity, and delivering food to the pavilion was originally a boring job, but now it has a bit of meaning.
At the end of breakfast, the village women walked out of the gate happily with food boxes in their hands and the cloth they had just gotten under their arms, and Xiaoqiu knew that even they would not remain neutral.
Xin Youtao changed his strategy, no longer confronting the stubborn Yelin Town boy directly, and changed to a roundabout strategy, which resulted in a heavy victory in the evening of the same day.
Shen Hao's uncle went and returned, and at noon entrusted the villagers to call his nephew out, this time the conversation was relatively long, and it was not until dinner time that Shen Hao walked into the dining room, as if he had been hit hard, his expression was depressed, and his pace was procrastinating, he did not have the bearing of the second young master of the Shen family at all, his head hung down on his chest, no one looked at him, and went straight to the prince Xin Youtao.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
"I said, everyone in Pangshan Dao is an equal Taoist, don't call me Your Highness. Xin Youtao probably already knew that there would be such a scene, so he had already made a posture of sitting upright, as if what was in front of him was not rice and vegetables, but delicious Wang family dishes.
"Xin Daoyou, please forgive me for my reckless ignorance in the past, I didn't know your identity at that time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to ...... if I was given a hundred dares"
The three people at Xiaoqiu's table couldn't listen anymore, put down the unfinished meal, got up and left, few children noticed them, everyone was shocked by Shen Hao's sudden softness, and the more they felt that the prince could not be offended.
In the study, Erliang Shen Xiuwei walked around indignantly, "Erliang is really a bastard, let's stand on his side, he actually ...... He's such a bastard!"
Fang Fang was also a little puzzled, "Cultivators shouldn't be like this, when everyone arrives at the Cultivation God Peak and really starts cultivating, maybe ...... Maybe there will be a change in mood, and you don't have to compete for it. ”
"Xin Youtao wants to turn everyone into his slaves. Xiaoqiu said that he and Xin Youtao have no deep hatred, but they are unwilling to break through the bottom limit, "I will not bow to him." ”
"Me neither, and I won't bow to Di San'er even if I am killed. Erliang Shen Xiuwei rubbed his belly, "But next time, let's not leave too early, let's finish the meal, it's too wasteful to be left there." ”
Fang Fang laughed, "Anyway, let's just not mess with him, after all, this place belongs to the Pangshan Dao system, even if King Xijie comes in person, he can't force everyone to listen to him." ”
"Is there such a rule? You have to tell me about it. Erliang Shen Xiuwei suddenly doubled his confidence, and listened to Fangfang's narration of the content of the book with unprecedented patience.
After dark, Xiao Qiu and Shen Xiu practiced bone forging fist in the courtyard for half an hour before returning to the room to rest.
Daliang Shen Xiuming moved away and no longer lived with his younger brother and good friends, but Shen Hao didn't, lying on the kang quietly, as if he had fallen asleep a long time ago.
Shen Xiuwei snorted lightly and slept on the other side of the kang, and Xiaoqiu had to lie between the two.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Hao cried, crying so much, Shen Xiuwei was still very contemptuous of him at first, but later he sympathized and persuaded: "Forget it, there is nothing to be sad about, people are princes, and it is not too embarrassing for you to admit your mistakes." ”
"Uncle forced me. Shen Hao sobbed, full of grievances and had nowhere to confide, so he could only confide in the two people in the same room, "He is a petty official in Xijie City, and he is afraid of the prince's revenge, so I have to ...... And when you had gone, the prince asked me to sit beside him, and he gave me something to eat, and touched my head as if it were ...... It was as if I was his puppy, and everyone saw it, and I knew they were laughing at me in their hearts. ”
"It turns out that having an uncle is not always a good thing. Shen Xiuwei's sympathy increased a little more, "You are forced to be helpless, there is no way to do it, but why do you go back to sleep in this house? Let Xuan San'er know, he has to bully you again." ”
"He ordered me to come back. Shen Hao stopped crying, feeling even more embarrassed, sat up, took out something from the futon, put it on the kang and pushed it to Xiaoqiu, "He asked me to give this to you, saying that unless you apologize in public and admit that you used to be a thief, and that 'fainting three times' or something is a lie you made up, he will not take back the dagger, let alone forgive you." He also said......"
Shen Hao's mouth smuttered, full of disgust and hatred for the role he was playing at the moment.
"What else are you talking about?" Xiaoqiu asked, wondering what Xin Youtao was trying to distort the facts.
"He also said that if you don't apologize, then you will compete in public martial arts, he wants to prove that he is competent, and you are a liar, he will not faint casually. ”
Xiaoqiu was silent for a while, and the teenagers in the same town were co-opted, conquered, and defeated by Xin Youtao one after another, which made him calm down, think carefully about the current situation, make different decisions three times, and veto them three times, until he felt that there was no other choice, and then he replied: "Then let's compete." ”
After that, Xiaoqiu took back the dagger and fell asleep.
