General Yanfeng said helplessly: "Why don't you pretend to be better than you?"
Xiang Chen curled his lips and said: "If you have the strength, it's called pretending to be better. If you don't have the strength, pretending to be better is called shame. When you pretend to be better than anyone else, you are better than anyone else."
Not long after Xiang Chen entered the mansion, Prince An Tian's people came and invited him to attend the family banquet at Prince An's mansion tomorrow.
Prince Antian's people have just arrived, and Prince Wentian's people have also arrived. However, Prince Wentian's people have come with many gifts, such as Hongmeng Amethyst, and many precious formation secrets.
"It seems that Prince Wentian is a little short-sighted. Although he wants to win over me, he doesn't want to offend the five great masters, so he just sent some gifts." Xiang Chen looked at the things given by Prince Wentian and shook his head.
Huangpu Lingyun asked in confusion: "How can you see it?"
Xiang Chen smiled lightly and said: "Sending a gift shows your intention, but you didn't discuss any cooperation with me in detail."
"Although your third brother didn't send anything as a gift, he invited me to have a meal and attend the banquet before the competition. This cannot be hidden from outside eyes.
This attitude is tantamount to showing that tomorrow's banquet is not just about eating, chatting about home affairs, and talking about the general trend of the world."
Huangpu Lingyun thought for a while and said, "I like the third brother more than the eldest brother. The third brother is more sincere than the eldest brother."
Xiang Chen shook his head and said: "How can there be any real sincerity? In this world these days, sincere people have long been trampled on. Your third brother should have an expert behind him to help him."
Gongsun Changying wore extremely sexy and charming gauze pajamas and came over with a bowl of old ginseng and dragon waist soup: "What about you, Erlang? Who do you want to support?"
Xiang Chen drank the soup in one gulp and immediately felt the evil fire in his body. He hugged the two of them and sat on the bedside: "Of course I will support whoever can become the Demon Emperor. But having said that, if one day I want to
What will you do when you become the Demon Emperor?"
"Ah?" Both women looked at him in shock.
"You, you still want to seize power and rebel?" Huangpu Lingyun said in shock.
Gongsun Changying rolled his eyes at Xiang Chen: "You can't say this nonsense."
"I mean if, what if, just imagine it."
Huangpu Lingyun was silent for a while, looked at Xiang Chen and said firmly: "I will support you!"
Gongsun Changying chuckled: "Of course I support it. It's better to be a concubine than to be your Lord Marquis's concubine."
"Haha, they are indeed my good Taoist companions, these two fairies, look at my new understanding of the Invincible Universe Cudgel Technique!"
"Wantless, Lingyun, let's deal with him together and watch my space devour him!"
"Hehe, look at me, Shen Yue, suppressing Qiankun and suppressing him!"
The next day, Xiang Chen took Huangpu Lingyun and Gongsun Changying to the Antian Palace to attend the appointment and attend the banquet.
Prince An Tian and his princess came to greet Xiang Chen and his family in person.
It is worth mentioning that Prince Antian’s princess is the legitimate daughter of the Golden Crow royal family, the sister of Emperor Jun Qiulan and Emperor Jun Qiuyun.
At the banquet, at first, the two families chatted about household matters and gossip about the world. Xiang Chen and Prince An Tian drank and chatted.
Suddenly, Prince An Tian introduced the topic: "Erlang, what are your plans for your future?"
Speaking of this topic, Dijun Qiulan smiled at the Huangpu aura brought by Xiang Chen, and Gongsun Changying said with a smile: "Two sisters, let's go for a walk in the back garden. I have prepared some gifts for you."
The two girls also realized what was going on, so they got up and left, leaving the banquet with Di Jun Qiulan, the king's wife.
Only Xiang Chen and Prince An Tian were left in the entire banquet.
Hearing this, Xiang Chen rubbed the rim of his wine glass and said with a smile, "Why do third brothers suddenly ask this? I will naturally be loyal to the empire and the royal family in my life. I can safely forge swords for the empire."
Prince An Tian shook his head and smiled: "That's a career. I mean your own considerations. For example, are you interested in establishing a new royal family?"
Xiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Prince An Tian continued: "Having said that, I am not hiding from you Erlang. I am also a soldier, and everyone is a cheerful person. My father is about to abdicate, and the selection of the third generation of Demon Emperor is about to begin. I hope
Erlang, can you support me!"
"If I become emperor, I will definitely help you build a new royal family that belongs to you in the future!"
Xiang Chen was silent for a moment and then said: "What does third brother want me to do?"
Prince An Tian smiled and Xiang Chen agreed.
"You don't need to do much. Just wait for the formal selection. You can help me resolve the voting for the five great masters and get them to support me."
Xiang Chen asked in surprise: "Does the selection of the Demon Emperor pass through voting?"
Prince An Tian shook his head: "Of course it won't be that simple. The voting is open, but when the voting ends, if the dissatisfied party launches a military coup or the like, that will be the most severe test!"
"To put it bluntly, I want the vote. If I lose the vote, I won't be willing to just admit defeat. I will definitely take action."
"The same goes for eldest brother. If he loses in the vote, I'm afraid he won't admit defeat easily!"
"What forces support His Highness Prince Wentian?" Xiang Chen asked again.
"The Phoenix Royal Family and the Canglong Royal Family are related by marriage to him. Both of his wives are from these two royal families."
"As for behind me, there are the Golden Crow Royal Family and the Leize Royal Family."
"In addition to these royal family supports, do we have people under each of us? Troops. On the surface, our strengths are almost the same."
Prince Antian looked a bit arrogant. As the only first-class prince, to put it bluntly, he was also a candidate for the throne deliberately cultivated by the Demon Emperor.
He was trained and deliberately allowed to fight with the prince. As long as the fight between the two would not shake the country's foundation, he would be tacitly allowed.
Therefore, there are only two royal families at most who can directly win over the two of them.
No more royal families can be involved, lest the Demon Kingdom be completely in chaos.
In such a competitive environment, those who can win must be better people.
Prince An Tian said: "If I win the vote, I will ask you to help me prevent their counterattack."
"If I lose - you don't have to follow me in the coup. I won't implicate you. Even if I lose, I can still be a free and leisure prince, but I will be deprived of my power."
As a strong man in the later stage of Supreme Supreme of Heaven and Earth, even if he loses the competition, Prince Wentian will not obliterate him.
On the contrary, he is the same. Even if Prince Wentian loses, he will not kill Prince Wentian. This is also the rule set by Demon Ancestor. There is a limit to competition.
"Third Brother, I'm serious. I'll do my best. But if Third Brother loses the vote, I can also help Third Brother make a bet for you. It's just what Third Brother promised me -"
"Haha, don't worry, since I said this, I won't make empty promises. We can make a contract to prove it."
