"My dear son, I haven't seen my son for half a month. I miss you so much as a father. If my son has something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up! My father is researching a blood poison serum and I don't have time to beep with you."
Xiang Chen's curse came from the Soul Seed Sound Transmission Jade, and a light screen projection appeared.
I saw that in a secret room filled with bottles and cans, Xiang Chen was mixing various potions, occasionally feeding himself a sip.
"I haven't seen my son for half a month, so my father came here to ask, what are you doing? Researching blood poison serum? What the hell are you doing?"
Xia Houwu asked doubtfully.
Bang...!
The medicine bottle in Xiang Chen's hand suddenly exploded, causing Xiang Chen's face to turn black.
"Uncle, it failed again. What went wrong? Is there a conflict between the blood poison and the anti-venom body?"
Xiang Chen murmured and then looked at Xia Houwu.
"Hold the grass, it's your uncle's, let's chat!"
When Xiang Chen saw Xiahou Wu bathing in the hot spring in the projection, he shook his head.
"Monkey, your bathing is too monotonous. If it were me, I would have to ask a little beauty to take a bath with me. Is it because you are too ugly and there is no little beauty to accompany you?"
Xia Houwu cursed: "Get lost, I am not a love beast like you."
"Haha, brother Xiang Chen, it turns out that you like to be accompanied by beautiful women when you take a bath. Who do you want to accompany you? I'll call you!"
At this time, Qingcheng's sneer came from outside Xiang Chen's door.
Qingcheng came in with a food box from outside the door and heard what the two said.
"Hold the grass, sister!" Xia Houwu was so frightened that he quickly sank into some spring water to avoid being exposed.
Immediately, there were bursts of screams from Xiang Chen's side.
After Xiang Chen was dealt with, Qingcheng and Xia Houwu briefly chatted for a few words before leaving.
"No matter how romantic and awesome you are, you are still a coward who is afraid of his wife." Xiahou Wu said sarcastically.
"You know what, I call it wife-loving. I mean, you're just looking for me to brag and compete with me, right?"
Xiang Chen was chatting with Xiahou Wu Projection while eating the delicacies sent by Qingcheng.
"I have been promoted to general. Are you happy? The Lingmo Sect has completely conquered the main city of Tianshi." Xia Houwu also started to talk about business.
"Oh, that's pretty fast." Xiang Chen put down his chopsticks upon hearing this and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that the situation is going to worsen in advance."
Then he glanced at Xia Houwu again: "You jerk, I was promoted to Commander-in-Chief when I left Ba Tian Sect, and you are the general. If my identity hadn't been exposed, I would have almost become the sect leader."
Xia Houwu snorted coldly: "I was killed by my own military merit. Do you think someone with connections like yours would take care of special promotions?"
"You are stupid and don't know how to use your network of contacts."
"You're smart, but where is your network now? Let's blow it up! Don't do those false things, strength is the king, and whoever refuses to accept it will be crushed by me!"
The two brothers quarreled for a while, and Xia Houwu said: "I have made great achievements this time, and our Commander Mou is going to give me a special banquet."
"Specially inviting you to a banquet?" Xiang Chen suddenly frowned upon hearing this.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Xiang Chen looked at Xia Houwu and said, "Is the other party only entertaining you?"
"Hey, it should be, because I asked other generals and they didn't receive the banquet." Xiahou Wu was quite proud.
"You idiot, disaster is about to happen!" Xiang Chen stopped eating and pushed the food aside, his expression becoming solemn.
"A disaster is coming, why?" Xia Houwu looked confused.
Xiang Chen drank some water and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Let me ask you, how many people in your Second Army hold the rank of general?"
"General plus deputy generals and staff, there must be more than twenty in total." Xiahou Wu replied.
Xiang Chen sneered: "There are more than twenty generals, but you are the only one invited. Is it because you, Xiahou Wu, have a big face or do you have a big butt?"
"Because my contribution is great." Xia Houwu still didn't understand the reason.
"Is it possible that the commander-in-chief still wants to harm me?"
"Alas! Fool, this is very possible!" Xiang Chen helped Xia Houwu analyze and said: "Look, if it is a celebration banquet, everyone should be invited, why do you have to be invited first? You have great achievements, and you will be in front of everyone at the banquet.
Wouldn’t it make you more face-saving if I mentioned a few words?”
"But the other party invited you to a private banquet first. You are a person who has risen to the top solely by virtue of his merits. There must be a mystery in this. You were promoted too quickly, brother. You were promoted so quickly, and now you have reached the rank of general. Your next higher goal is
What? Is it the commander-in-chief?"
Xia Houwu frowned. Xiang Chen suddenly understood this and said, "Are you saying that our commander-in-chief is afraid of me? This private banquet may be a scam?"
Xiang Chen nodded and said: "This is probably a Hongmen Banquet. If I were the commander-in-chief and had a capable general like you under my command, but he was not my confidant, I would be wary of him, as is the case with everyone in the world."
"If your life is too good and too strong, others will be jealous, and they will want to gang up on you. If your life is too poor and too weak, others will want to step on you. You are not in the inner circle. You can only avoid being jealous if you are similar to others.
A fatal disaster."
"This is how a small person hides in the forest and a big person hides in the city."
"And you, Xia Houwu, are a mere beast who was promoted to general in just a few years based on military merit. You are not someone's confidant. It is normal for others to be afraid of you because of your strength and speed of promotion."
"Your commander-in-chief, Mou Nan, right? The Tyrant Sect has information on him. I've seen it. He's not a simple person. He has a dark heart. You must be vigilant and prepared for this private banquet!"
Xia Houwu always listens to Xiang Chen's words very well. Bickering is bickering, and he is not ambiguous at all when it is time to listen.
It doesn't matter if people are not smart or stupid at all. Not everyone is good at controlling people's hearts with power. What I am afraid of is the kind of people who are stupid and can't listen to good or bad words. That will be very annoying.
"Then what should I do?" Xiahou Wu looked serious and began to listen to Xiang Chen's opinion.
Xiang Chen said: "You are strong. If the other party wants to get you, they will definitely use despicable means. Poison is a very likely means. How is your practice of Huitian Bible? What state have you reached?"
Xia Houwu said truthfully: "The Huitian Bible is at its peak throughout the ages."
"There is no need to worry about the poison. With such a level of Huitian Bible, there is no one else on this continent except me who can cure you. Then beware of other means. If you do this, if he dares to attack you, I'm kidding."
Kill him..."
Xiang Chen is lucky to have a brother like Xia Houwu who is loyal to him and can pour out his heart over wine without any disguise.
And Xia Houwu, an upright and iron-blooded man, is even more lucky to have a brother like Xiang Chen who specializes in political strategy and is good at controlling people's hearts to help him.
If it's too strong, it's easy to break; if it's too soft, it's easy to bully!
There are yin and yang in the heaven and earth, and the human body has yin and yang and the five elements. As a human being, you know the current situation and know how to advance and retreat. Only if you can bend and stretch can you live a long life.
The next day, the commander-in-chief Mou Nan personally sent someone to invite Xiahou Wu to a banquet.
Xia Houwu also made some preparations in advance, and then accepted the invitation to go to the mansion of Commander Mou Nan for a banquet.
