After Qicheng Emperor Xiao Zuo's culpable edict was announced to the world, the weather still did not get better. Although it did not snow heavily anymore, the scattered snow dregs still visited every now and then.

Under this situation, Xiao Zuo was extremely busy. He took important ministers and several adult princes day and night to study good strategies for disaster relief and eradication of bandits. Among them, the second son Xiao Zhong, the fifth son Xiao Shi, and the seventh son Xiao An,

There is also the ninth son Xiao Zhen. In fact, the tenth son Xiao Mu has also participated in political affairs. But for some reason, he was completely ignored this time. Only those who know the truth understand in their hearts who made Xiao Mu, the king of virtue, rank tenth.

?The emperor responded to this number, and couldn't help but get angry when he heard this number.

The rumor that the son of the top ten kings, Xiao Yu, is a real dragon of destiny is like a strange will-o'-the-wisp in the wilderness, elusive yet inextinguishable. Now even children begging on the streets will hum the nursery rhyme "The son of the ten kings is the lord of the world."

Unfortunately, there are so many things going on in the court now that they cannot spare the energy to trace the source of this rumor. Wanting to suppress it forcefully, several old ministers tremblingly cried to the court: It is better to defend the mouth of the people than to defend the river!

Don't be reckless! It's better to block than to open up! Don't be reckless!

Therefore, the thorn in the emperor's heart could only be placed there, unable to be touched or removed. The poor King De was completely implicated. Fortunately, he was not angered, and he was actually lucky.

That night, Xiao Zhen came back from the palace very late. As the saying goes, it's cold before frost and cold after snow. On such a winter night, it seemed that even the air was about to be frozen. However, Xiao Zhen did not take the warm car, but went alone.

The man and horse walked alone. His guards were all far behind. They all knew that His Highness was in a bad mood recently and didn't like others to come near him.

The dark sky, the desolate long street, the echoing sound of horse hooves, and the sense of emptiness and loneliness everywhere. Xiao Zhen took a deep breath of the cold air that stung his lungs, and felt that as long as he was quiet, he would fall into trouble.

Liuli didn't want to marry him! At that time, she only felt angry, humiliated, and confused, and then slowly felt heartbroken. It was his fault. He said he would not marry him first, and did not consider the self-esteem of a woman who had just entered the capital. But he later realized that it was true.

Never changed my mind again.

What should he do? He didn't want to give up just like that, but he understood that Liuli was not a hypocritical person, and she was not trying to make fun of Qiao. She really wanted to regret the marriage. But what should he do to redeem it? Do he want to force the marriage? After all, it was the marriage decided by the father himself.

, he couldn't just retreat. But that would be too insulting to his pride, and Liuli would despise her. From then on, he would lose even the respect and goodwill Liuli had for him.

But he really allowed Liuli to follow Eleven? He couldn't explain his feelings, and his dignity and face couldn't bear such an offense. He didn't know how to mention it to his father.

He was in a dilemma, and suddenly he hated Liuli. Why did she throw the problem to him? She was the first to fall in love with someone else, wasn't she? She should be the one to find a way to deal with all the consequences!

No matter how long the journey is, no matter how slow you walk, you will reach the end. In a state of upset, Xiao Zhen finally returned to the gate of his own Prince Jin's Mansion. But before he could get off his horse, he walked up to the door and whispered, "

Return to His Majesty the King of Jin. The Prince of Linshan County is waiting there, waiting... for more than an hour."

Xiao Zhen frowned and subconsciously turned his head to look.

I saw an extremely luxuriously decorated carriage parked in the wide driveway in front of the palace. There were four tall horses pulling the carriage. The exterior of the expensive wooden carriage was covered with thick felt. The front lights of the carriage were bright, and the corners of the carriage were decorated with glittering lights.

Flying in the shadow formed by the wall. It is easy for people to ignore it. But once it is noticed, it is impossible to look at it.

Xiao Zhen's heart suddenly burst into anger.

He impulsively attacked Xiao Yu that day. Later, he heard that Xiao Yu was seriously injured and did not go out during the Chinese New Year. He originally felt a little guilty. Although Xiao Yu deserved it, the two had been friends for more than ten years after all.

The friendship was not as deep as usual, so there was still a bit of intolerance in the hatred. However, he made up his mind not to have any further contact with this unjust person who was trying to force him into a corner. He didn't even bother to say a word, and even told the gatekeeper in the mansion.

No one, not even the Prince of Linshan County himself or someone sent by him, is allowed to step into the Prince Jin's Mansion.

But what annoyed him even more was that during the entire New Year period, Xiao Yu really didn't show up. He didn't even say a word of greeting, and he didn't even offer an apology. Even the servants who gave New Year's greetings in previous years were nowhere to be seen.

Yes, he really didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Yu anymore, and it would be clean if they didn't meet each other. However, this is different from the other party not coming to show his kindness and begging for mercy at all. This shows that Xiao Yu doesn't want to repent and wants to compete with him for Liuli.

Fight to the end. Did Xiao Yu do anything good? How dare you be so confident! Then why are you here today? And you don’t even have the slightest intention of asking for forgiveness. You sit in such a gorgeous warm carriage, so arrogant, so condescending, so condescending.

Gui. Look at himself, how pitiful he is in self-abuse!

After all, what he hates more is that he feels sorry for himself, his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law, who can take it but can't let it go. He was so angry at this time, all because of the attitude of his love rival, so he simply abandoned the others and strode towards the carriage of the county prince's palace.

He must have been reminded a long time ago. As soon as he approached, the carriage drivers and guards of the Prince's Palace retreated away quickly, as if he was a savage beast. Now Xiao Zhen was even more angry. Who is the despicable villain?

How to make him look like a villain?

"Xiao Shiyi!" he shouted.

"It's Brother Eleven." Xiao Yu corrected Xiao Zheng as usual.

Xiao Zheng felt angry but also sour. This was the most frequent conversation between them. It was boring, but it represented a deep friendship.

Only now, these are all gone!

"Are you worthy?" Xiao Zhen sneered.

Xiao Yu pushed open the car door and coughed several times because of the sudden rush of cold wind.

This aroused Xiao Zhen's surprise. Even though he knew that Xiao Yu was seriously injured, he didn't expect to be in such a weak state. Others didn't know it, but he knew that Xiao Yu was very good at martial arts and rarely got sick. This was what he wanted to hide.

Xiao Yu didn't hide his father's affairs from him, and the two of them were close to each other. After all, it seemed like a small matter, but it was related to Xiao Yu's life and death.

Although his father was a great man, he was also very suspicious. Unfortunately, he just believed in this fateful friendship and thought that there was nothing untrustworthy. As a result... he was robbed of his fiancée, whom he loved in his heart.

"The clan ranking is the same. It doesn't matter whether you are worthy or not." Xiao Yu endured the severe pain in his lungs, twitched the corners of his lips, and said softly.

Xiao Zhen was even more furious. After all, he understood that Xiao Yu didn't feel any guilt or debt, and looked a little arrogant. Is this the attitude that someone who robbed his brother's woman should have? He was planning to completely break up, so

What does it mean to be merciless?

It's just that Xiao Yu looks a lot thinner, and his chin is more pointed. His long eyebrows and phoenix eyes are more sharp and arrogant. His face is very bad, he should be seriously injured, and the internal injuries have not healed. However, he is dressed extremely gorgeously,

A wide-sleeved robe with emerald weaving, a gold crown inlaid with beads on the head, black half-barreled deerskin boots embroidered with gold threads, a jade belt across the waist, and a huge ruby ​​​​plate on the pale hand, with a red glow.

It hurt people's eyes. Although his whole person was sick and his expression was calm, he still felt aggressive.

Is this... a demonstration, or a robbery involving open fire?

Xiao Zhen suddenly calmed down and stepped onto the car.

Why? Xiao Yu's high seat was cushioned, but he was standing below talking like a guard!

And his sudden move. Xiao Yu seemed to have expected it, and his expression did not waver at all. Fortunately, the carriage was not only gorgeous on the outside, but also spacious and warm inside. As the door was closed by someone who had slipped back, it became a small and not cramped little carriage.

world.

"Tell me, what do you want? Get out of here. I don't want to see you. You will spit out the last night's meal!" Xiao Zhen said coldly. After all, he couldn't be emotionless. He is the pride of heaven. He has been since childhood.

Xiao Yu, who has never even been humiliated, has a completely different mentality and behavior when facing setbacks than Xiao Yu, who has struggled to survive since childhood.

"I should... be the one asking you what you want?" Xiao Yu said calmly, leaning against the car wall, speaking weakly, but every word was heartfelt, "Everyone has a lot of things they don't want to see and things they don't want to do.

But there is no use in escaping. The meeting of resentment and hatred that Buddhism talks about must be like this, right?"

He was seriously injured internally and was short of breath. After saying these two sentences, he took a breath for a while and then said, "I'm sorry for you, but you beat me so violently that I didn't say a word or fight back for a while. At that time, I

I think, if you beat me to death, it will be fate, and you will repay your brotherly love. But since I am not dead, Jiulang, I no longer owe you! It’s okay, I will accompany you with my life, and I can say some things directly at this time.

, no need to hide it."

He took another two strong breaths and said, "So, what are you going to do with Liuli? She doesn't like you, how are you going to deal with this? Avoid her, or ignore her, or just shrink away.

Head turtle?"

The word "coward" made Xiao Zhen almost jump out of his skin, but he held it back, but his eyes were colder, "Do you mean she likes you? Or do you think I should help you?" He laughed a few times.

He said, "I am not threatened, nor am I willing to be eaten. If Liuli doesn't like me, I will never force her or hurt her. It's just you, but that's another story. I won't accept betrayal.

We will not forgive shameless people easily. As for what happens between us, do you care?"

"Really?" Xiao Yu was still calm, neither anxious nor angry, but the thick eyelashes and the green shadow under his eyes made his half-closed eyes look even more bottomless, "This prince is different from you, I

If you want it, you will definitely get it, no matter who the opponent is or how high the cost is."

"Can you snatch her away?" Xiao Zhen snorted, "I broke off the engagement with her. Following my father's approach, I must marry her to other princes. My second brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother all married the right prince.

As a concubine, if she remarries, she can only be a side concubine. Because your father will never allow the power of the Cao Gang to be used by others, and it can only belong to the royal family." At this point, he looked at Xiao Yu with contempt, "Even

, she may be given to marry as the prince's concubine, but she will not marry a county prince. Now I ask again, are you worthy?"
