Chapter 101: "Throwing the Pot" in Advance
The eldest prince Xiang An pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, wait for a while." ”
Chang Xiong understood that the eldest prince wanted to see if Cheng Kun could catch the means of the Second Highness, only those who were really capable would be favored by him, if Cheng Kun could not complete the next "test", Xiang An would not waste time to meet an incompetent person.
He felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. People like Cheng Kun are rare, but he is by no means the only one, and he is also reflecting in his heart whether he takes him too seriously?
On the other side, after Xiang Hong listened to Dai Feizhang's report, his face sank like water, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Have you inquired clearly, who is this Cheng Kun?"
Xiahou Yu and Tom Chen stood aside with their heads bowed and silent, neither of them had the face to speak. No matter how big the difference in strength is, being beaten into that "bear-like" will become the black history of the two of them in their lives.
After hearing His Highness's questioning, the hatred for Cheng Kun in the hearts of the two of them was a little more. Because they knew very well that it was impossible for the second prince to allow such a "waste" to appear among his subordinates.
Dai Feizhang immediately replied: "Back to Your Highness, as far as I know from my investigation, this Cheng Kun does not have any prominent background, and his biological father is just an ordinary hunter in Jinyang County, Youzhou. The reason why he was able to practice this martial art was because he worshiped under Tang Zhong, a personal soldier of Tiangehou in his early years, when he was young. But this person is indeed extraordinary, he has only been in the army for half a year, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, accumulated merits to the army, and now he has been recruited by His Majesty to the imperial capital, can His Highness try to recruit him?"
Xiang Hong shook his head: "No need, it's not strange that he can be sent to the imperial capital, every year the Dingshan Army will send a group of people over, and I have seen a lot over the years." There can be a few heroes like Tian Gehou in this world, as long as they are not such peerless characters, they don't need to have any scruples. When you go back, find a chance to teach him a lesson and let him know the rules. ”
Dai Feizhang bowed down and replied, "Oh." ”
This was just a small episode, Xiang Hong forgot about it after he finished his order, and what he really cared about was the position of the Dingshan Army.
The news that Dai Feizhang brought back made him a little dissatisfied and breathed a sigh of relief, he had guessed before that the Dingshan Army might remain neutral in this time in the battle between him and his eldest brother for the crown prince, with the presence of the Marquis of Tiange, the Dingshan Army did not need to stand in line in advance at all.
However, after the facts were laid out in front of him, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. Because Tiange Hou is so strong, except for his father, Peng Yuan can be said to be no one "bird", not even the eldest son of his father.
But Xiang Hong has no way at all, he is still too tender compared to Peng Yuan, Peng Yuan has rejected the Huns outside the country over the years, and he has already become an indispensable pillar of optimus in Great Chu, and he is still just an ordinary prince, not even a prince.
If Peng Yuan walked in front of him now and reprimanded him indiscriminately, he could only admit his mistake obediently, and there was no room for resistance. Even if he complained in front of his father, Xiang Liang would only say that he was well trained, not to support him!
Xiang Hong persuaded himself not to care about this, and speaking of which, it was actually beneficial for him that the Dingshan Army could remain neutral. He knew very well that if Tian Gehou really wanted to stand in line, he would most likely choose his brother's side, rather than his own position that was more inclined to the nobles of the family.
............
After the tiger guards came out of Xiang Hong's residence, they left separately, but Dai Feizhang stopped Xiahouyu, and he said to Xiahouyu who had a depressed face:
"You also heard what Your Highness said just now, I thought about it, and decided to give you this task. This is also a chance to give you revenge, whatever you think, you can teach that kid named Cheng Kun a lesson, do things beautifully, and the faster the better. If you can complete the task well this time, it may not be able to reverse the impression you left in the heart of Your Highness. ”
Xia Houyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, this is indeed an opportunity.
Because he is a branch of the Xiahou family, his status in the family is very low, and he has not been taken seriously, and he is only a small team leader in the Tiger Benwei, which is comparable to Cheng Kun's current position. It was not easy to climb the thigh of the second prince, and he saw that Zai Nu could soar after trying to survive the last period of time, and of course he didn't want to be kicked off the boat now.
Moreover, even if the second prince still did not change his mind after the matter was completed, he also admitted it. Cheng Kun made him so embarrassed in front of everyone, and now he is going to cut off his future, how can such a big revenge not be avenged!
He left immediately, ready to find someone to design it well and return the pain he had suffered to Cheng Kun twice. As soon as he thought of this, his steps became faster, and he disappeared from Dai Feizhang's sight in a moment.
Dai Feizhang showed a satisfied smile on his face, Xiahou Yu didn't have any brains, he just flickered around the other party in a few words. After the second prince gave the order, he didn't think about it for long before he was ready to hand over this matter to Xiahou Yu to do.
As a loose person, Dai Feizhang has been adrift in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is familiar with human feelings, of course, he will not be unclear about the truth that "it is better to make merit than to make mistakes". Moreover, no matter how much Xia Houyu is not valued in the family, the resources in his hands are much more than that of him, a person from the rivers and lakes who has just joined the command of the second prince.
If you want to teach Cheng Kun a profound lesson, it is not easy to find any mistakes on the bright side, of course, it is better to find a more "professional" person.
In addition, there was another concern in his heart that he did not mention to others.
Don't look at what he said to Xiang Hong just now that Cheng Kun's background is not worth mentioning, but he is a little jealous of this person in his heart. The reason is because he observed that the relationship between Cheng Kun and Peng Rou, the daughter of Tiangehou and the general of Zhenbei, was extraordinary when he was at the Blood Gate, and the intimacy was somewhat beyond the boundaries between superiors and subordinates.
This can't help but cause people to think deeply, you must know that this unique female general of Da Chu has not yet married, and she is still waiting for the word boudoir!
But he couldn't believe his guess, after all, the status gap between the two was too big, and it was impossible to think about it. However, it can also be seen that Cheng Kun is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and it is not necessarily a wise decision for the second prince not to take him seriously.
It is precisely because of the above considerations that he will make such a decision, if Xiahou Yu can do this well, he will also have a share of his credit, if something happens, the second prince will not blame him.
In less than a stick of incense, many thoughts passed through his mind.
People who don't know think that he can climb the threshold of the second prince with Dai Feizhang, relying on a fairly superb martial arts, but they don't know that what His Royal Highness really values is his resourcefulness, and the trivial matter of "throwing the pot" is just easy for him.
