Chapter 455: Things Are Changing
Xiang Yu was pushed by the warriors and left the pavilion with a red face and curses, his eyes full of anger.
Even if he has the world's top supernatural talent at this time, the warrior in front of him can't beat him in the face. He is a noble noble, but so what?
That butler was just a commoner, but he dared to be rude to a noble like himself.
The samurai couldn't beat him with a finger, but he seemed to be shackled and didn't dare to take action at all.
Identity, status, and strength all turned into nothingness at this time.
The big steward represents Xiang Zhuang's attitude. Even if he cannot get Xiang Zhuang's support, he can never make Xiang Zhuang hate him.
He didn't dare to take action when he asked for help, so he could only swallow the bad breath.
What he was most angry about was, why could Xiang Shaolong be passed on?
low door
When Xiang Yu walked away, the chief steward sneered: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't care how much he weighs. He doesn't know how much he can do and dares to compete with the young master. He is tired of living."
After finishing speaking, he bowed respectfully to Xiang Shaolong: "Your Majesty, things are in trouble. Xiang Zhuang has issued a death order and will never allow anyone to go and complain. He will not meet anyone in the royal family."
Obviously, the relationship between the chief steward and Xiang Shaolong is unusual.
The prince frowned.
"If I can't see Xiang Zhuang and don't have the support of the clan government, I won't be able to completely suppress the other heirs. If I can get the support of the clan government, the next thing will be easier to handle, and I can suppress the other heirs. The three princes have ascended the throne as their legitimate grandsons. No matter what happens today, I will see Xiang Zhuang. If I miss today, Xiang Zhuang will disappear again. If I want to see him again, I don’t know what year or month it is." Xiang Shaolong said in a tone of voice. Determined: "Even if it means setting Xiang Zhuang's mansion on fire, I will force him out."
He was also anxious. Seeing that the battle for the inheritance was still unable to come to an end, he became more and more restless.
"Master Xiangzhuang is receiving the distinguished guest and has no time to pay attention to us. Even if I go to communicate for you, I'm afraid it will be of no use." The big steward said in a low voice.
"I have to give it a try anyway, what if he is willing to see me?" Xiang Shaolong was unwilling.
The chief steward hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "It is better to go to the distinguished guest to ask for a meeting with the master. As long as the distinguished guest opens his mouth, the master will definitely not refute him."
"Can you strike up a conversation with that distinguished guest?" Xiang Shaolong's eyes lit up when he heard this. If he could strike up a conversation with him, the matter would be easily solved.
After hearing Xiang Shaolong's words, the steward looked determined: "For the sake of your future, you can give it a try."
Xiang Shaolong patted the manager on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as the matter is completed, your benefits will be indispensable."
"Young master, wait for me here. I will create an opportunity for you." The chief steward bowed respectfully to Xiang Shaolong, then turned and left.
After the steward left, Xiang Shaolong stood anxiously outside the low door, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
Xiang Zhuang's attitude was much more determined than he expected.
Outside the gate of Zongren Mansion
Xiang Yu cursed and was pushed out of the mansion by the guards. At this time, his face was ashen and his steel teeth were about to be broken: "Who are you looking down on? The dust has not settled yet."
What a shame!
What a shame!
Xiang Yu suffered an unprecedented humiliation.
Being pushed by warriors and scolded angrily by a white-bodied butler, when had he, a grandson of a noble king and a noble of Dayu, ever suffered such humiliation?
"Don't be arrogant. When I gain power in the future, I will kill you all. I will kill you and other nine tribes!" Xiang Yu cursed outside the door, his voice full of anger.
"Prince!" At this moment, a voice came from the dark corner. A man holding a lantern came to Xiang Yu with a respectful expression.
"Who are you?" Xiang Yu looked at Xiang with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I am the personal bodyguard of Mr. Xiangzhuang. There is a distinguished guest in the house who wants to see you. Do you want to see him?" Xiang said respectfully.
"Is there a distinguished guest in the house who wants to see me?" Xiang Yu was stunned when he heard this.
He actually still has friendship with the distinguished guests in the mansion?
In the backyard, Cui Yu was drinking ice-cold wine, and Runan quietly rubbed Cui Yu's shoulders.
Xiang Zhuang held a cattail leaf fan and walked in quickly from outside the house: "I also want to introduce you to the elders of the clan, so that you won't be disturbed by those blind things in the future. Who would have thought that you and Xiang Shaolong would have conflicts."
Xiang Zhuang looked at Cui Yu with his eyes. Cui Yu refused to see Xiang Shaolong. It was obviously not a minor conflict.
"Xiang Shaolong lacks compassion and bullies the people. He is not like a human being." Cui Yu would not mind giving Xiang Shaolong eye drops.
"I also think this person is too headstrong. He grew up in the royal family of the Yu Kingdom. He has never suffered any setbacks along the way. It is inevitable that his character will be different. So he has been undecided, not knowing who to choose to support." Xiang Zhuang looked at Cui Yu with his eyes, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart.
Who does he want to support?
He clearly wanted to kill the leader of Dayu Kingdom, and he sat in that position. Unfortunately, this idea is too difficult to implement and a bit too unrealistic.
Thousands of thoughts flashed in Cui Yu's heart, and he looked at Xiang Zhuang with his eyes: "You want to ascend to the position of the leader of the Dayu Kingdom. It is unjust and unjust. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty will not agree, and the other princes will not agree. In case the princes from all over the country come back again. After raising troops to clear the emperor's side, the entire Yu Kingdom fell into turmoil before disaster occurred."
Xiang Zhuang was silent when he heard this, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
The word orthodoxy has blocked too many people and too many hopes.
"Now I can only choose one person to support." Xiang Zhuang sighed: "Who do you think I should choose?"
Cui Yu smiled when he heard this and simply lowered his head to mix the drink.
Seeing Cui Yu like this, Xiang Zhuang was a little confused and didn't know what Cui Yu meant.
"Who do you think can turn the tide?" Xiang Zhuang asked.
Cui Yu smiled: "Sir, you might as well calm down for a while. You will know my answer later."
Xiang Zhuang was curious, but suppressed it and asked another question: "Can the grudge between you and Xiang Shaolong be resolved?"
"Is this question important?" Cui Yu couldn't help but ask after hearing that Xiang Zhuang mentioned Xiang Shaolong for the second time.
Xiang Zhuang pondered for a while and then said: "The one I like most is actually Xiang Shaolong. It's not without reason that the Lord of Dayu likes Xiang Shaolong. Since Xiang Yan was demoted, Xiang Shaolong has replaced Xiang Yan and been replaced by Dayu. Lord Yu has carefully cultivated..."
Xiang Zhuang was halfway through and didn't say much.
Cui Yu smiled: "There is someone more suitable than Xiang Shaolong."
"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang was really curious this time, his eyes full of surprise.
Outside the low door
Xiang Yu followed Xiang and walked back on the road where he was driven out. Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, and he was filled with emotion that he couldn't express.
He was kicked out and invited in one after another. It was just tea time, but his mood was very different.
"Who is that noble man in the house? Why do you want to see me?" Xiang Shaolong looked at the man holding the lantern in front of him for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.
"I don't dare to say more, you will understand after seeing me." He looked humble.
All the way to the archway, I saw Xiang Shaolong standing uneasily under the lantern, and the two guards who drove Xiang Yu out.
When the two guards saw Xiang Yu, they were stunned, and then they shouted: "Didn't I tell you to get out? Why did you come in again? Why don't you get out quickly? Don't you want us to kick you out again?"
"Presumptuous!" He opened his mouth and reprimanded.
Only then did the two of them see the figure under the dim lantern clearly, their eyes full of horror: "Greetings, your lord."
Xiang is the personal steward around Xiang Zhuang, and his status is higher than that of the chief steward who oversees everything in the house.
"You two bastards, how dare you disrespect the master and go down and get thirty bucks." His voice was full of gloom: "How did Li Xu train you? How dare you do the following, and you don't understand any rules."
When the second guard heard this, his body trembled, like a mouse encountering a cat, and he quickly left.
"Master, come with me!" He made an invitation gesture to Xiang Yu.
"How could he go in?" Xiang Shaolong looked at Xiang Yu who had left and returned, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"His Majesty, it's the distinguished guests in the palace who personally ordered the invitation." He bowed respectfully in return, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him at all.
"I want to go in too!"
Seeing that Xiang Yu was about to follow the sound, Xiang Shaolong became anxious.
If Xiang Yu entered the backyard and convinced Xiang Zhuang, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Xiang Shaolong was anxious, he couldn't let Xiang Yu get there first.
"Your Majesty, please stay." He stretched out the lantern in his hand and blocked Xiang Shaolong's front.
"Why can he enter but I can't?" Xiang Shaolong's face was as gloomy as water.
Long shook his head: "Subordinates just follow the rules. Who can go in and who can't go in is a matter for the adults above, not something that the villain can decide. All the villain can do is carry out the orders of the adults above."
"I want to see Xiang Zhuang!" Xiang Shaolong's eyes were full of gloom.
"What are you doing standing around? Does the government support you to eat free food?" Chang didn't want to get entangled with Xiang Shaolong, but looked at the silent guard on the side.
Seeing that they couldn't hide, the guards could only reluctantly step forward and block Xiang Shaolong's front.
"How dare you stand in my way?" Xiang Shaolong looked gloomy. As a nobleman, he didn't bother to flirt with ordinary servants. Wouldn't that be beneath his status?
He smiled without saying anything and led Xiang Yu further inside.
"Xiang Shaolong, I'm going in. You, a great nobleman, continue to wait outside." Xiang Yu looked at the furious Xiang Shaolong, not willing to let go of the opportunity to ridicule him.
Seeing that the two were about to cross the arch, Xiang Shaolong finally couldn't help it anymore: "Xiang Yu!
! "
Xiang Shaolong’s voice was loud and serious.
Xiang Yu paused and turned to look at Xiang Shaolong.
"Even if you get Xiang Zhuang's support, you have no chance to seize the throne. If you join me now and help me convince Xiang Zhuang, I can make you king after I ascend the throne." Xiang Shaolong looked at Xiang Yu.
Seeing that there was no food and salt, Xiang Shaolong finally became anxious.
Xiang Yu smiled when he heard this and said nothing, but Xiang Shaolong understood the sarcasm in the other person's eyes.
Xiang Yu turned around and took a step forward into the arch.
"Xiang Yu!
! "Xiang Shaolong shouted again.
Xiang Yu paused and did not look back.
"If you insist on entering it, you are my enemy. Don't blame me for not reminding you. After today, if you don't look back, we will use our own methods in the future, and I will never leave you any room." Xiang Shaolong saw that it didn't make sense, so he started to threaten him.
But the only person who responded to Xiang Shaolong was Xiang Yu's back disappearing into the darkness.
Xiang Shaolong stood in front of the arch with a gloomy expression, his eyes watching Xiang Yu's disappearing footsteps, his fists clenched in his sleeves, his eyes full of coldness.
"Xiang Zhuang would not make such a stupid move. It was definitely not Xiang Zhuang who called him in. I still have a chance! Hold on! I still have a chance!" Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and moved his arms He was pinched and bruised: "Xiang Zhuang is a smart man, and he will never bet easily! Just now, I said it was a noble man's move, which means it is definitely not Xiang Zhuang, but me, Hu Tu! Ji Hu Tu!"
Having said that, Xiang Shaolong was standing outside the arch, and every minute and every second was like a year.
"It's difficult to handle." Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath.
"If the clan government does not recognize me, I will be in big trouble." Xiang Shaolong simply closed his eyes and stood there like a stake, waiting for news from the steward.
Walking into the archway, Xiang Yu was also feeling uneasy. Looking at Long's back, he finally couldn't help but ask: "You mean, it wasn't the master of the palace who summoned me?"
"Just a distinguished guest in the house." He replied at noon.
At this point, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he added: "If you can persuade this distinguished guest and ask this distinguished guest to speak, the master of the palace will definitely change his mind and help you at all costs."
National scholar!
I never thought that I would be able to see the birth of a national scholar from the Yu Kingdom in my lifetime.
The birth of a national scholar of Dayu Kingdom is such an incredible thing.
Xiang Yu's heart moved when he heard this: "I don't remember that I know the nobles of Zongren Mansion."
He really couldn't remember which nobleman from the clan house he knew.
As for the national scholar summoning himself?
Xiang Yu didn't even dare to think in that direction!
That was a scholar who had not been born in the Dayu Kingdom for thousands of years. It could be said that his status would not be much worse than that of the current king.
Even the current leader of the country must be treated with three points of respect.
How could such a person be recognized by a small nobleman from Daliang City in a remote corner of the city?
Xiang Yu racked his brains and couldn't think of anyone who could change Xiang Zhuang's opinion.
And what Long said so firmly was definitely not a joke.
"I, Xiang Yu, know this kind of person?" Doubts arose in Xiang Yu's mind.
If he knew such a person, he would have used it long ago. How could he be so humiliated?
"Or is it the connections left by my father? At that time, my father was the best choice for the crown prince in Dayu Kingdom." This thought flashed in Xiang Yu's mind.
Only this explanation makes sense.
