Chapter 450: Enemy Xiang Shaolong

Although Xiang Zhuang is slightly older, Xiang Yu is not young either. In terms of seniority, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang are of the same generation, but the treatment between the two is completely different.

Xiang Zhuang is in charge of the clan mansion and is responsible for managing all the affairs of the Xiang family's bloodline clans and the royal family. He has great authority and is simply a very human minister. He has become the steward of the clan mansion at a young age and is responsible for leading the clan. Everything in the human house.

Where is Xiang Yu?

Although he has great ambitions, he is extremely depressed.

Even if there is a gap in the heart, it is difficult to use it.

Everyone is related, and they are blood relatives. Even if Xiang Zhuang did not invite him, but Xiang Yu wanted to visit him, and he really stepped through the door, Xiang Zhuang couldn't chase him away, right?

It's like when you visit a relative's house, although the relative can pretend not to be home and not open the door for you. But after you enter the gate, can the other party kick you out?

"If you want to ascend to that position, gain the approval of the Lord of Dayu, and inherit the position of Lord of Dayu, you must obtain the approval of Xiang Zhuang and the support of the entire clan." Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Xiangzhuang Shenlong has seen its head but not its tail. I'm afraid this is the only chance now. After Xiangzhuang goes out again, I don't know when or what month he will be able to come back."

So tonight he must win Xiang Zhuang's approval at all costs.

Do you really think it is that easy to ascend to the position of king?

Wrong. Although the monarch has the right to establish a monarch, the opinions of his uncles in the clan mansion must still be respected.

The monarch is not the business of the monarch alone, but the business of the entire family.

Moreover, it is not difficult for him to bribe the guards at Xiangzhuang's house. They are all members of the Xiang family, and those servants are just opening a back door, pretending that they can't stop it, and they can get huge benefits, so why not do it?

That night

At Xiang Shaolong's place, Xiang Shaolong held a birdcage in his arms. There was a pair of golden birds in the cage. Each feather seemed to be made of gold.

"Son."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a person quickly came up behind Xiang Shaolong.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Shaolong asked casually while holding a stick to tease the birds.

"There is news that Xiangzhuang will hold a banquet tomorrow night to introduce a big shot to the clan elders in the clan mansion." The guard said respectfully.

After hearing what the guard said, Xiang Shaolong paused in his teasing movements: "Is the news accurate?"

"There is no mistake." The guard said.

Xiang Shaolong stood up after hearing this, hung the canary on the railing, and then said with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Xiang Zhuang likes beautiful women the most. This person is both lustful and unhappy."

"There are quite a few well-trained girls in the mansion. How many will I send to him?" The guard looked at Xiang Shaolong's face quietly.

"How can an ordinary woman be looked upon by Xiang Zhuang? What kind of status is Xiang Zhuang? How can he be without a woman? I heard that there is a girl in Zuo Xiaowei's family. She is eighteen years old and as beautiful as a flower. She is like a goddess descending to earth. You can do it for me. I will post a message and say that I will visit Captain Zuo tomorrow." Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and then said.

"Zuo Xiaowei's daughter?" The guard hesitated slightly after hearing this.

"What?" Seeing the guard standing there without moving, Xiang Shaolong suddenly frowned, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"That is Lieutenant Zuo's treasure. It is said that many princes and nobles went to propose marriage, but were rejected by the other party. Even the master came personally, but was rejected by the other party. The master's intervention has no effect, let alone us?" There was a hint of hesitation in the guard's eyes.

"After all, there is a way. I don't believe it. It's just a woman. What's so valuable about it? My father is frustrated because he doesn't like the terms he offers. Captain Zuo is waiting for him in three years. During the national election, I will give my daughter to the palace. But now that the situation is like this, how can I give it away? There is no doubt whether the king will live to see three years later, but he can't help but wait for a price and sell it." Xiang Shaolong looked proud. .

The guard always felt that Captain Zuo would not let go easily, but he had no choice but to turn around and deal with it since his master had already spoken.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiang Shaolong personally led a group of people to Zuo Xiaowei's home.

Xiang Shaolong, the legitimate son of the eldest prince, came to the door in person, and Lieutenant Zuo came to greet him in person.

"I've met the Crown Prince." Colonel Zuo bowed respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, we are not in the palace now, so don't be too polite." Xiang Shaolong smiled and helped Captain Zuo up, with a smile in his eyes: "We are here today, but we have something important to ask of each other."

Xiang Shaolong was quite polite to Lieutenant Zuo. Lieutenant Zuo was not an ordinary lieutenant. He was the captain who guarded the inner palace and was responsible for the safety of the Lord of Dayu. He was a person whom the Lord of Dayu had a name in mind. Naturally, he is the target of Xiang Shaolong's win over.

However, this person did not take sides and was indifferent to himself. He was only loyal to the Lord of Dayu. Even if he was the eldest prince's son, there was nothing he could do.

"Could it be that the prince is doing it for my daughter?" Captain Zuo invited the eldest prince into the courtyard with a smile.

"Eh? Do you have the ability to predict the future?" Xiang Shaolong asked in surprise.

"My humble abode is simple, and all I visit is because of my daughter." Captain Zuo said with a wry smile.

After hearing Captain Zuo's words, Xiang Shaolong smiled calmly: "I am different from those people. I am here to be your little girl's matchmaker."

"The prince wants to be a matchmaker for my little girl? I wonder which young master it is?" Zuo Xiaowei was stunned when he heard this.

"Is Xiang Zhuang from the clan's mansion worthy of your little girl?" Xiang Shaolong asked.

He was sure that the other party would not be able to refuse. Xiang Zhuang was the head of the clan's mansion. He was in charge of all the clan's children in the royal family. He had great power. Even if he was not as good as the Lord of Dayu, he was less than one person and more than ten thousand people. .

Unexpectedly, after Xiang Shaolong finished speaking, Lieutenant Zuo looked at Xiang Shaolong with hesitant expression, and finally shook his head and refused: "Sir, my daughter wants to marry the current king. I once said that my daughter will only marry the king. I will not marry anyone. This matter is known to the whole world. If I change my statement, where will the king be placed? Your Majesty, please come back!"

Hearing this, Xiang Shaolong's face suddenly turned ugly. He was being refuted, and the anger in his heart was slowly rising. He stared at Captain Zuo with his eyes and said to himself: "This person is really arrogant. He claims that his daughter is worthy of anyone." If you don’t, you simply don’t take us into consideration, you really deserve to die!”

He doesn't even look down on the master of the clan's mansion, let alone his eldest son?

His power is not as great as that of Xiang Zhuang.

As long as he does not ascend to the throne for one day, he will be overpowered by Xiang Zhuang and accept Xiang Zhuang's control.

Even so, he was unwilling to give up. Instead, he simply sat in the yard and stalked Zuo Xiaowei: "Zuo Xiaowei, you don't know the current situation in the capital of Dayu, how difficult it is to handle now. You should know better than me. The king has been plotted against, and to put it bluntly, he may return to the west at any time. Your daughter wants to marry the king, but she may not have a chance. With the king’s current physical condition, there is no chance. In accepting a concubine? It would be better to marry your daughter into the clan's mansion. Although Xiang Zhuang is not the emperor, he is the first person under the emperor in terms of power."

While Xiang Shaolong was trying to comfort Captain Zuo, Cui Yu had already led Runan to wander the streets of Daliang City.

It's not really a wandering, but I want to see the atmosphere of Dayu Kingdom, feel the humanistic atmosphere of this world, and stop by Xiangzhuang for a banquet.

'Shang' has been dismissed by Cui Yu a long time ago. He doesn't want to have someone around him who doesn't know the details at any time.

The two were walking on the street when suddenly a crowd surged in front of them. Countless people rushed to both sides in panic, as if they had seen a savage beast, and they fell on the ground and knelt down like a tide.

As everyone knelt down and worshiped, Cui Yu and Runan were caught off guard and appeared upright on the street.

Looking from a distance, the whole street was prostrating, but the two of them stood out from the crowd, looking particularly strange.

Cui Yu looked into the distance and saw a gorgeous carriage, accompanied by more than thirty guards wearing armor, slowly approaching from a distance.

The carriage creaked and creaked, and the people wherever it passed fell to the ground and trembled.

inside the carriage

Xiang Shaolong's face was as gloomy as water. Recalling Captain Zuo's neither yin nor yang, neither tepid nor hot attitude, his whole mentality was about to explode.

"How contemptuous of people! No wonder when my father returned to the house, he beat three girls to death. No matter how much I said good things and my words were rubbed, the other party was indifferent." Xiang Shaolong was very angry. The most important thing is that Now that time is approaching, it is no longer possible to find a goal that satisfies Xiang Zhuang.

Although he was filled with hatred in his heart, he had nothing to do with Zuo Xiaowei. He could only secretly be cruel in his heart: "Old man, please don't let me ascend the throne, otherwise you will look good in the future."

Just as he was thinking in his mind, suddenly a shout came from outside the car: "How dare you, the prince is driving by, why don't you two kneel down?"

Xiang Shaolong was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be people who dared to disobey etiquette. Don’t you kneel down when you see a noble driving a car?

As his thoughts turned, a thought passed through his mind: "Don't make a mistake. Those who have the ability to challenge etiquette are not ordinary people."

At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside the car door: "Young master, we found a top-notch product. And it looks like an ordinary girl. We just found a way to snatch it and give it to Lord Xiangzhuang."

"Chen Dong, I'm afraid you are wrong. How can there be good girls in ordinary people? They are all vulgar. No matter how beautiful they are, they are not worthy of Xiang Zhuang's discernment, so drive them away quickly.

Is Xiang Shaolong short of women?

What kind of woman has he not seen?

He doesn't lack beautiful women, he lacks women with substance.

What does it mean to be a commoner woman? He wasn't interested at all.

"Young Master, this is a top quality product. I have seen many ladies and young ladies, but not as good as this girl!" Chen Dong said quickly.

Xiang Shaolong was stunned when he heard this: Can an ordinary family cultivate a woman with inner qualities?

He was afraid that the soldier had made a mistake and caused unnecessary trouble for him, so he quickly opened the curtain to check, but the next moment Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but be stunned.

He saw Cui Yu and Runan, dressed in ordinary coarse linen clothes, but clean and tidy without any patches.

As for momentum? ? ?

To be honest, when you look at the clothes, you don’t know the other person’s status, there is no psychological factor added, and you can’t see any temperament.

His eyes did not fall on Cui Yu, but stared at Runan.

Runan has been taught by Zi Lu since she was a child and has read poetry and etiquette. She really has the temperament of a talented woman.

Especially Runan's appearance is not picky, at least in the eyes of the prince, it is enough to give it to Xiang Zhuang.

"It's her! It's just God who helped me. I couldn't find anything through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get her. If you give this girl to Xiang Zhuang, I don't believe he can refuse!" Xiang Shaolong's heart was pounding.

This was the first time he had seen a woman with such a temperament.

That was the granddaughter who was taught by the quasi-sage Zilu himself. Is her temperament comparable to that of ordinary people?

However, such a woman must not be cultivated by ordinary people, so we still need to find out the details.

"Leave this matter to the villain. I won't bother you to take action, so as not to ruin your reputation." Chen Dong said to the noble man in the carriage, then turned to look at Cui Yu and Runan:

"It's easy to accomplish this, just find an excuse and take it away."

Suddenly Chen Dong opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see the driver?"

Cui Yu frowned when he heard this, and looked at the soldier with his eyes. Of course he didn't want to kneel down, and he didn't want to kneel down to anyone.

Not to mention him, even if Emperor Zhou was in front of him, he would never kneel down.

He felt that Zhou Tianzi's design was simply stupid.

And he also felt that he had the ability not to kneel down.

"Do you know who I am?" Chen Dong looked at Cui Yu who was indifferent, with a bit of shame on his face.

"Oh? Who are you?" Cui Yu asked cooperatively.

"I am the young master of the Chen family in Dayu. Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Chen Dong's eyes were filled with anger.

"Haha, it turns out to be the Chen family of Dayu." Cui Yu smiled contemptuously. He was about to cause trouble for the Chen family, but he didn't expect to bump into the young master of the Chen family.

Seeing Cui Yu's sneer, Chen Dong seemed to be provoked, his eyes full of coldness:

"These unruly people don't follow the etiquette and law, so why don't they be captured by me quickly? The man had his limbs chopped off in the street as punishment! The woman was sent to a cell to await trial!"

When Cui Yu didn't answer, the soldier scolded him, his voice full of evil spirit.

All he wanted was an excuse to take action.

"Haha, the Dayu Chen family! What a Dayu Chen family, but they are really domineering!" Cui Yu smiled coldly.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the situation was about to break out, Xiang Shaolong in the carriage shouted. When he saw Cui Yu and Runan's momentum, they didn't panic at all. For some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak to stop the conflict.

Judging from the aura of these two people, they are definitely not ordinary people, but the children of first-class aristocratic families.

Especially Runan, the scholarly and enlightened aura about her body is definitely not something that ordinary people can cultivate in their homes.

"Your Majesty." Chen Dong turned to look at Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong opened the curtain and waved his hand, signaling Chen Dong to step aside. Then he looked at Cui Yu and Cui Yu with a pair of eyes and said in a gentle voice: "Which noble family are you two from?"

"The common people have seen the young master. The two of us escaped from Daliang City. We don't know the rules here. Please forgive me." Cui Yu replied, his words were polite.

Xiang Shaolong looked at the two of them for a while: "No! You don't look like ordinary people."

"The common people who escaped from Daliang City." Xiang Shaolong repeated, as if he was interrogating.

"He's from Daliang City." Cui Yu nodded to confirm.

"Coming from Daliang City? Could it be that he is a wealthy businessman?" A thought flashed in Xiang Shaolong's mind.

Can there be such a woman in Daliang City?

Since he came from Daliang City, it didn't matter. The only nobles in Daliang City are the Xiang family and his son, and he doesn't care so much.

"You're just a pariah, but you don't kneel when you see a driver. If everyone in the world is like you, how can there be any order? Kill the men and take away the women!" Xiang Shaolong lowered the curtain, his voice filled with indifference. The ruthlessness and understatement of words had already decided Cui Yu's life or death. It's like killing a chicken, without any psychological burden.

For nobles, the lives of ordinary people are indeed not lives.

Moreover, this woman's appearance is outstanding, and her temperament is even more unique. Even if he has seen countless women, it is difficult for anyone to compare with her.

If such a woman is given to Xiangzhuang, there will be no need to worry about things failing.

"Kill!" After the words fell, Chen Dong roared angrily, and then led his soldiers to kill Cui Yu one after another.

Cui Yu glanced at the carriage, and the next moment he used the Qiankun in his sleeves to take Runan away. Then with a casual move, Chen Dong turned into a toad and was trampled into flesh by the soles of his feet on the ground. Cui Yu then turned into air. Leave.

He didn't want to cause trouble in Dayu Kingdom, nor did he want to make enemies casually.

Cui Yu suddenly left, and Chen Dong turned into flesh, causing a group of soldiers to freeze and stand there blankly holding weapons. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

Especially the soldier who trampled Chen Dong to death was even more numb in his hands and feet, and his eyes were filled with fear.

The Chen family of Dayu is not easy to mess with.

"Has it been solved?" At this moment, Xiang Shaolong in the car heard the sound ended and asked casually.

Hearing no outside noise, Xiang Shaolong was still praising in his mind: "When did my bodyguard become so efficient?"

"Sir, we seem to be in trouble. The other party is not an ordinary person. The man did not know what method he used and disappeared without a trace." The guard turned around and reported back.

In the carriage, Xiang Shaolong was stunned when he heard this: "Is he a stranger or a Qi practitioner? He really looks like an ordinary person."

But the next moment Xiang Shaolong noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, opened the curtain and took a look outside: "Where is Chen Dong?"

"Chen Dong was struck by the demon spell and turned into a toad. He was accidentally trampled to death by the villain. He still asked the young master to make the decision." The guard knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xiang Shaolong saw the meat foam on the ground and his color changed for a moment.

"Chen Dong was killed?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while he said: "Go to the Chen family to deliver a letter, tell the head of the Chen family what happened, and leave the matter to the Chen family. . They are just two poor people in a remote village. As for Chen Dong’s body, you find a box to put it in and give it to the head of the Chen family. "

"Continue to set off." Xiang Shaolong ordered.

The guard looked pale. How could he survive if he went to the Chen family?

If you trample Chen Dong to death, how can the other party not take revenge?

You must be the target of your anger.

I am the one who the young master sent to the Chen family.

But he didn't dare to resist!

If he goes, he will die. If you don't go, your whole family will die!
