Chapter 482 Choice [2]

A night of silence.

The next day, Xie Aoyu woke up, practiced some, and began to discuss the situation in the Silla Imperial Capital with Hoshino and others. Xie Aoyu also told Hoshino what Liu Jie, the elder of the Liu family, asked Liu Long to tell him last night, hoping to learn from it. He got some analysis there, but Hoshino couldn't figure out what it meant.

During the conversation, their topic naturally shifted to the tenth prince Brooke.

Brook's performance last night impressed them somewhat, but if they want to make up their mind to recognize him, they still need a process to verify Brook's ability.

Nowadays, the Liu family can almost be said to be the biggest bargaining chip that can tilt the balance of the three parties. All parties are desperately fighting for it. Naturally, Xie Aoyu cannot easily put his hope on Brooke.

"There is very little information about Brooke." Lingyun'er came to Xie Aoyu with some information, "This is the information collected by the Chamber of Commerce last night. This is the information collected by the Holy City Intelligence Network. There is very little about Brooke. Comprehensive evaluation It’s all very ordinary, nothing outstanding.”

Xie Aoyu took the information, glanced at it briefly, and threw it aside.

"How do you feel?" Hoshino asked.

"Brook's performance yesterday was obviously not a fool. He could even be said to be shrewd. He was good at seizing opportunities. He also understood his own identity and knew how to advance and retreat. Such a person, in all the information, showed that he could not be more ordinary. Hehe, very It's interesting." Xie Aoyu said with a smile, "In this case, there are only two possibilities. The first one is that Brooke knows how to hide, and he can be said to be superb in this aspect. At least I don't have the ability to do it. He deceived everyone. Man, if this is the case, Brooke is definitely the most powerful among many princes.”

"What's another possibility?" Hoshino smiled.

Lingyun'er replied: "There is an expert behind Brooke's guidance!"

Nodding to Lingyun'er, Xie Aoyu looked at her with encouraging eyes.

Lingyun'er smiled sweetly at Xie Aoyu and continued: "If there is such a person around Brooke, then this person's ability is definitely not inferior to that of Yin Shen Ge Mingde. After all, the Silla Imperial Capital is full of masters. Since it is an imperial palace, It was a place where filth and evil were hidden. The only one who could hide Brook so deeply was Ge Mingde who had been hiding in Tianluo Empire for several years. But as far as I know, no one seems to be able to compare with Ge Mingde. Comparable?"

"Do you think Brooke is hiding it?" Xie Aoyu said.

Lingyun'er said: "Well, I think so."

Xie Aoyu smiled and said: "The same view as mine, let's see how he performs later."

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

This kind of feeling of examining others and being a prince is really extraordinary, like a superior god. Xie Aoyu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder power makes people crazy, it feels so good.

Hoshino and others left one after another because of their sensitive identities.

Naturally, the king-level masters who came this time were divided into two groups. Some were in the Xingluo Mercenary Group's branch in the Silla Imperial Capital, while others lived in the headquarters of the Violet Chamber of Commerce.

And there are a considerable number of saint-level masters, all disguised as masters of the Violet Chamber of Commerce.

This place can be said to be one of the most powerful places in the Silla Imperial Capital.

With such power, Xie Aoyu has no involvement in the Violet Chamber of Commerce and still belongs to Lingyun'er. This makes Lingyun'er very excited and feels extremely safe. She used to sleep uneasy before, but now she sleeps well every time. Xiang, she secretly looked at Xie Aoyu and saw that Xie Aoyu had his eyes closed and was deep in thought, his little face was flushed, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

At about ten o'clock, the tenth prince Brooke asked to see him.

"It seems that he chose this time carefully." A smile appeared on Xie Aoyu's lips, "It happens to be after the best practice time in the morning has passed, so as not to disturb our practice. Gee, this Brooke is not simple."

Soon, Brooke entered from the outside.

From a distance, Brooke looks very ordinary and wears ordinary clothes. At first glance, he is an ordinary person, the kind of person who is difficult to recognize at a glance even in a crowd.

"Brooke has met Brother Xie." When Brooke opened his mouth, he showed himself in a low profile and did not take the so-called royal status seriously.

Xie Aoyu smiled and said: "The prince is here, please sit down."

After Brooke thanked him, he sat down aside.

The people who came with Brooke all stood outside the living room, and no one came in, showing their absolute trust in Xie Aoyu.

"Your Highness, come here, what do you want me to teach you?" Xie Aoyu asked knowingly.

"To be honest, Brother Xie." Brooke replied, "I know a little bit about the purpose of the Liu family's question, and I also know that for you, if you want to be recognized by the Liu family, you must support a certain prince to become the next emperor of the Silla Empire. , I’m not talented, I think I still have some ability.”

"Oh?" Xie Aoyu looked at him with a smile, "You are very frank."

Brooke said calmly: "Is it necessary to hide it?"

Nodding, Xie Aoyu said: "You are right, there is indeed no need to hide it." He asked casually, "Then what do you think your chances of cooperating with me are?"

"I am confident that I can beat others. As for whether Brother Xie can beat your opponent, I don't know." Brooke answered confidently.

"Then why are you still cooperating with me?"

"Because I am an ambitious person and I don't want to be inactive."

"Why were you so mediocre before?"

"It's just self-protection, waiting for an opportunity to take action."

"You can only protect yourself, how can you have the confidence to defeat your brothers?"

"In addition to protecting myself, I also have my own arrangements."

"You have such an arrangement, don't others? They have more support from the nobles. I think you know this better. If you want to become the new emperor of the Silla Empire, you must not only show your own abilities, but also whether you can The nobles who control the Silla Empire are the backbone of the Silla Empire. How many nobles do you have to support them?"

"The Silla Empire has a total of forty-six cities. I have the support of nine city lords, second only to the support of the 13 city lords of Chakari, the sixth emperor brother. There are about tens of thousands of nobles, but they can have a certain influence. There are only ninety-three people, including two grand dukes and fifteen dukes. I have the support of four dukes, which is the largest number. Although I do not have the support of the grand dukes, my mother-in-law is my father’s favorite concubine. , so not only am I not weaker than them, but I have a slight advantage. Although the final successor to the emperor is approved by the Liu family, I must also seek the opinion of my father. "

Listening to Brooke's answer, Xie Aoyu nodded secretly. This person is indeed not simple. He has developed so much power secretly, but no one knows about it.

He didn't think that Brooke was lying, which would do him no good at all. Instead, it would put him in a desperate situation and make it extremely difficult for him to get Xie Aoyu's support.

"Okay, you go back first." Xie Aoyu said thoughtfully, "I will give you an answer within five days."

Brooke stood up to say goodbye.

After he left, several people looked at each other, Yaqing smiled and said: "I think this Brooke is not simple."

"I feel the same way." Xie Aoyu said.

Lingyun'er asked strangely: "Is what he said true? Isn't it too powerful to secretly control so many nobles without letting anyone know about it?"

Yaqing said: "This is probably related to his mother-in-law. As far as I know, the Silla Emperor is very lecherous. Looking at Brooke's age, his mother-in-law must be quite old. She is actually the Silla Emperor's favorite. With his mother-in-law’s ability, she can definitely help him get some support.”

"The mother and concubine are the most favored?" Xie Aoyu frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, "The Emperor of Silla was lustful, and naturally there were countless beauties in the harem. There must be many young and beautiful women, but his mother and concubine was still the most favored. Tsk tsk, It’s interesting, what kind of woman can be so favored and still be the coldest emperor?”
