Since Xiao Chuhe left, Tianqi has become the domain of White King Xiao Chong and Red King Xiao Yu. They win over ministers in the court, eunuchs in the palace, and power in the rivers and lakes. They have a lot of support behind them.
People have already formed a scene of confrontation with each other.
I have to say that King Bai is still very capable, and a blind man can win over so many cronies. Unfortunately, many people in Beili will not let a blind man become the emperor.
Xiao Chong suddenly appeared in the martial arts competition, causing a shock, and then lived in the mansion arranged for him by Sikong Changfeng. Although Xueyue City was powerful, it still had to show enough respect in the face of the imperial power. This
Not long after he settled in, he ordered someone to call Xiao Se over alone.
Xiao Chong had no expression on his face and said calmly:
"Long time no see. It seems that you have lived a good life these years. You are both the city lord and the sword fairy and the piano fairy?"
Xiao Se was not polite, he naturally found a place to sit down and said:
"Yes, it's quite relaxing without the intrigue between brothers."
Xiao Chong did not want to discuss too much with Xiao Se, but faced the topic directly and said:
"I came here to convey the emperor's oral instructions..."
Xiao Chong paused mid-sentence. Obviously, he was waiting for Xiao Se to kneel down and listen to the order. After all, it was the emperor's order. Even he had to kneel down obediently.
It's a pity that now Xiao Se, how can he kneel down because of someone else's words? Let alone the emperor, even if the emperor of heaven dares to make him kneel down, he will be killed by his sword.
Xiao Se picked his ears and said:
"Old man, if you have something to convey, please tell me quickly, don't tell me I'm going fishing..."
When Xiao Se said this, Xiao Chong looked as usual, but the servant beside him couldn't bear it anymore.
"Bold, Xiao Chuhe, you dare to be arrogant. Do you know that this is a serious crime of beheading? Don't say that you are not the prince now, even if you are, you..."
Zang Ming did not continue to speak, because as he was talking, he saw Xiao Se lightly swiping his mouth, and then he shut up.
Xiao Se no longer paid attention to him, but turned to look at Xiao Chong and said with a smile:
"By the way, you can just call me Xiao Se from now on. I haven't used the name Xiao Chuhe for a long time. Second brother, what do you have to say?"
Xiao Chong sighed after hearing this and said:
"Lao Liu, you are still the same. Father said that as long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and return to Tianqi, he can no longer pursue your previous mistakes and restore your identity as King Yong'an."
Xiao Chong did not pursue Xiao Se's crime of not kneeling when he heard the order, but calmly recounted Emperor Mingde's oral instructions. This was the purpose of his coming here.
Xiao Se was obviously a little unhappy when he heard the other party calling him the sixth person. It was not a good title. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a reason to refute it. After all, he was the sixth person.
Xiao Se said oh at first, and then said nonchalantly:
"I understand everything you said, is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
This answer was completely beyond Xiao Chong's expectations. What do you mean by knowing? Shouldn't you tell me whether you will accept this imperial edict or not?
When Xiao Chong saw Xiao Se who was about to leave, he was obviously a little anxious and said:
"Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet!"
However, when he finished saying this, Xiao Se had already left.
Thoughts:
"You ask me and I have to answer you? What the hell!?"
Not long after Xiao Se left, he was blocked halfway by Lei Wujie, Tang Lian and others who came over. Their curiosity drove them to look for Xiao Se.
Because not long ago, the second prince Xiao Chong came to Xueyue City in person. Everyone including the city lord Sikong Changfeng knelt down respectfully. Among the hundreds of people present, only Xiao Se turned a blind eye and seemed so abrupt.
In this world, no matter how high your status is in the world, you still have to bow before the imperial power. You are as strong as the lone swordsman Luo Qingyang, who still dare not resist the imperial power.
But Xiao Se, who is also a swordsman, dared to ignore these rules and did not express any words to the second prince. Moreover, Xiao Chong was not angry about this, but even met with Xiao Se alone afterwards. To say that there was no hidden secret, they
I don't believe it.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Se came out, they were impatient to know the truth.
Lei Wujie said:
"Xiao Se, you don't know this second prince, do you? Why are you not respectful at all when you see him? He is one of the most powerful princes in the world? Maybe he will be the emperor in a few years."
Lei Wujie, Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo stared at him with their eyes, making Xiao Se feel uncomfortable all over.
Xiao Se randomly found a pavilion and sat down, and said:
"What's weird? Before I was deposed, he was my second brother, half-brother!"
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. Maybe it was because he had been a prince too many times, so he could talk about such things in such a calm tone.
But as soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three people present widened instantly. They were even more shocked than when they heard the news that Xiao Se was the Jade Sword Immortal. Lei Wujie even pointed at Xiao Se and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
talk.
"you you···"
After a long time, they digested this matter. At this time, they were still hesitating whether to salute Xiao Se. After all, the status of the prince was higher than that of the sword immortal. If they didn't salute, would the other party?
Angry or something like that.
Compared with others, Tang Lian's reaction was relatively dull, because he had already had doubts before. In Tianqi, only the royal family has the surname Xiao!
I saw him saluting respectfully:
"Tang Lian has met His Highness the Sixth Prince!"
Among the current princes, the only one who was deposed was the sixth prince Xiao Chuhe. The other two also reacted and hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.
Xiao Se waved his hand directly and said:
"Don't do these nonsense. I have been deposed a long time ago. Now I am just a commoner. If you call me prince again, you don't take His Majesty seriously and will be beheaded."
Xiao Se's relaxed expression also made several people relax a lot. Lei Wujie, who was quite curious, quickly pulled Xiao Se aside and insisted on letting him gossip. It is not possible to hear the secrets of the royal family all the time.
"Then tell us quickly how you were deposed in the first place? Also, your second brother, oh no, why did the second prince come to you?"
Xiao Se had nothing to hide from the curiosity of several people. After all, Lei Wujie's mother Li Xinyue was also one of the original parties.
"Your sister should have told you about the matter. In fact, it's nothing. It was just because of running around in the rivers and lakes that I was deposed from the throne. Later, because of King Langya's rebellion, I was deposed as the prince.
, was demoted to a commoner... Speaking of which, I also wanted to thank your mother Li Xinyue that day!"
The story Xiao Se told was no different from what was rumored in the world, but hearing it personally from the person involved was still different.
Several of them are young people with a strong sense of justice. After hearing about Xiao Se's experience and choices, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xiao Se's behavior. In order to uphold justice and stick to the bottom line in their hearts, they even went so far as to do this today.
Being able to give up the most noble status below is not something that ordinary people can do. Even if they are in the same position, they may not always have the courage to resist.
Tang Lian said:
"Then the second prince is coming to see you now?"
