Xiao Rong shook his head and said with a smile: "Since my father, Wang Bintian, I have been staying at home and not seeing any guests."

Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly, patted Xiao Rong's shoulder, and said: "At this time, the only one who is willing to take the initiative to see me is you, brother Rong."

Xiao Rong looked at her with confusion on his face and asked, "Why did Sister Xiang say that?"

Xiao Xiang sighed: "Now, among all the brothers and sisters who are interested in the throne, who doesn't regard me as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh?"

Xiao Rong looked up and smiled and said: "Fortunately, I am not interested in the throne, and I also know myself. No matter how I turn around, the throne will never go to me."

While talking, the two of them walked into the lobby. The banquet had already been set up in the lobby. Xiao Rong specifically asked Xiao Xiang to sit at the top, while he himself sat at the bottom.

The dishes on the table are very rich, mostly fish, shrimps and crabs, especially the steamed crab roe, which is fragrant and red, with the golden crab roe flowing out, making it look particularly attractive.

Xiao Xiang picked one up casually, and it was heavy in his hand. It weighed at least a pound. For Nanhu crabs, it is rare to see one weighing more than a pound.

Xiao Rong smiled and said: "I sent people to ride fast horses to collect these crabs from Nanhu overnight. The first batch to open the lake are big and fresh. Sister Xiang, please try them."

Nanhu crabs only mature in mid-to-late October, and only at this time are they most plump. Xiao Xiang has loved eating them since she was a child, and Xiao Rong knows this best.

As soon as he finished speaking, a maid who was serving Xiao Xiang came forward and gave her a blessing. Then she knelt down and took out a small tool specially used to handle crabs. First, she took off the crab claws,

Open the crab lid and carefully scoop out the crab meat inside.

While she was handling the crabs for Xiao Xiang, Xing Yuan quickly came to the maid's side, patted her on the shoulder, silently shook his head to the side, and signaled her to step away first.

The maid had a look of astonishment on her face and didn't understand what she had done wrong, but she still obeyed Xing Yuan's wishes and stepped aside.

Xing Yuan took over from her. He first looked at the small tools she used, including pliers, knives, and hooks, all made of silver. Then he carefully checked the color of the crab meat. It was white and tender and had no abnormalities. He confirmed that the crab meat was white and tender.

There was no problem with the food and utensils, so he skillfully took out the crab meat and put it into Xiao Xiang's plate.

This period is too sensitive, and Xing Yuan has to be careful. If Crab is tampered with, the consequences will be disastrous.

When Xiao Rong saw this, he couldn't help but frown secretly, but he did not show his unhappiness on his face, but said with a smile: "Mr. Xing is too cautious, do you think I will murder Sister Xiang?"

"Young master, you are too worried. I am just doing my duty." Xing Yuan's words were polite, but when he spoke, his face was expressionless, rigid and dull.

Seeing his demeanor, even Xiao Xiang felt dazzled. She showed displeasure and reprimanded in a low voice: "Who asked you to come here? You are nosy, get out!"

"Princess……"

"Back off!" Xiao Xiang said with a serious face.

Xing Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally bowed and bowed, retreating behind Xiao Xiang. After he stepped away, Xiao Xiang looked at Xiao Rong, smiled apologetically, and said helplessly: "Mr. Xing is always cautious, and neither is Brother Rong."

Blame him."

Xiao Rong laughed loudly and said: "How could it be possible? Mr. Xing is also loyal. I just lack loyal and responsible people like Mr. Xing around me!"

Xing Yuan hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Ninth Young Master, that's a great reward."

Xiao Xiang picked up the crab meat on the plate and took a bite. Then with a sweet smile on her face, she praised: "It tastes really delicious."

Xiao Rongxi said with a smile: "As long as Sister Xiang likes it."

The two of them were eating and chatting happily. Unknowingly, they had drank three rounds and had five dishes. Xiao Rong put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Now, Brother Wang and Brother Er Wang have joined together. I don't know Sister Xiang."

Is there any way to deal with it?"

Xiao Xiang pretended to be confused and asked: "What to deal with?"

Xiao Rong said: "The first brother and the second brother have joined forces to compete with Sister Xiang for the throne. Doesn't Sister Xiang know about it?"

Xiao Xiang smiled slightly and said calmly: "Blood is thicker than water, so why should brothers and sisters argue? If the eldest brother and the second brother really want to be king, then let them do it."

That being said, in fact, how could she give up the throne to Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan? It’s just that Xiao Rong is just a child in her eyes, and she doesn’t want Xiao Rong to see the darkest side of human nature.

Seeing it, I don’t even want him to get involved.

Hearing what Xiao Xiang said, Xiao Rong looked disappointed, but soon returned to normal, smiling and asking the servants to serve ginger tea. Crabs are cold in nature, and ginger tea is warm in nature, so eating crabs with ginger tea is also

Tradition.

Soon, the maids brought ginger tea. Xiao Rong picked up the tea cup, saluted Xiao Xiang, and then drank all the tea in the cup.

After Xiao Xiang also drank the tea in the cup, Xiao Rong said: "Sister Xiang always treats me as a child, never tells me anything, hides it from me, and avoids me. However, between you and the Wang brothers,

How could I not know about the fight for the throne?"

Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "There are some things that the less Rong brother knows, the better."

When Xiao Rong heard this, he frowned and stood up abruptly. His face turned red because of his excitement. He said loudly: "I am no longer a child."

Suddenly seeing Xiao Rong lose his temper, Xiao Xiang was surprised and surprised at the same time. She stared blankly at Xiao Rong who was out of character and said subconsciously: "But in my opinion, Brother Rong is always my youngest brother.

"

Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, which was both a bitter smile and a self-deprecating smile. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I knew it was like this..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden chaos in the courtyard outside the lobby. Xiao Xiang was startled and hurriedly turned her head to look outside. When she saw clearly the situation in the courtyard, her expression also changed drastically.

It turned out that countless spiritual cultivators suddenly rushed out of the courtyard, each one wearing spiritual armor and holding spiritual weapons, and killed the guards brought by Xiao Xiang.

But the strange thing is that the guards led by Xiao Xiang were unable to fight back. Everyone seemed to have had their bones ripped out, slumped to the ground, and helplessly watched themselves being slaughtered.

"Princess, the tea is poisonous..."

A guard who was slumped at the door of the lobby turned around and shouted, but before he could finish speaking, a spiritual cultivator had already rushed in front of him. As a flash of lightning flashed, the guard's head flew into the air.

At the same time, blood spurted out.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xiang couldn't help but scream. She instinctively wanted to stand up, but as soon as she exerted herself, she suddenly realized that her body could no longer exert any strength.

She looked at Xiao Rong in shock and horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Rong, you..."

At this time, the innocence and gentleness on Xiao Rong's face had been wiped away, replaced by distortion, violence and ferocity. He chuckled softly at first, and then turned his head up and laughed strangely. He laughed for a long time before he stopped.

Laughing, he said: "Sister Xiang has always regarded me as a child, but the eldest brother and the second brother will not! The eldest brother promised me that as long as I can help him ascend the throne, I will be the general of the Sichuan Kingdom, but

Below one person, above ten thousand people.”

When Xiao Xiang heard this, she couldn't believe her ears. Looking at Xiao Rong in front of her, she felt like she was looking at a stranger. Is this still the brother Rong she was familiar with? Is this still the one who would pounce on her?

The younger brother who acts coquettishly and cries in his arms?

She was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. Xing Yuan, who was standing behind Xiao Xiang, woke up and understood everything. He suddenly roared and rushed to Xiao Xiang's side, protecting her behind him. At the same time, he glared at

Xiang Xiao Rong shouted sternly: "Xiao Rong, how dare you murder the princess?"

Xiao Rong was stunned by Xing Yuanshuo. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, I have always 'loved' Sister Xiang the most. How could I possibly murder Sister Xiang?"

After a pause, he changed the topic and said with a strange smile: "Mr.

"

"Fart!" Xing Yuan's eyes turned red. He held up Xiao Xiang, who could not stand up, with one hand, and pulled out the sword from under his ribs with the other hand, pointing the sword's edge directly at Xiao Rong.

"Alas!" Xiao Rong sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "Good words can't persuade a damn ghost!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Bang! Following the crisp sound he made, from behind the screen in the lobby, outside the window, and outside the door, more than a dozen spiritual cultivators rushed in, surrounding Xiao Xiang and Xing Yuan.

"Kill him, but you are not allowed to hurt my Sister Xiang." Xiao Rong said softly.

He gave the order, and the dozens of spiritual cultivators all rushed towards Xing Yuan with swords in their hands, and struck a fatal blow as soon as they came up, with their swords never leaving his vital points.

Under the siege of more than a dozen Lingwu masters, Xing Yuan could only temporarily let go of Xiao Xiang and use all his strength to deal with the surrounding enemies.

Xing Yuan's spiritual martial arts is outstanding, even if it is not the best, it is still first-rate. However, the spiritual cultivators who are besieging him now are not weak. They all have strong spiritual martial arts and profound cultivation. During the battle, Xing Yuan

They were forced to retreat continuously. Not long after, the two sides were fighting from the lobby to the courtyard.

Xiao Rong ignored the fighting outside at all. He slowly walked up to Xiao Xiang with a smile on his face.

Looking at Xiao Rong who was slowly approaching her, Xiao Xiang no longer felt the slightest sense of intimacy, all she felt was creepy.

She said tremblingly: "Why...why on earth is this?" She couldn't figure out why Xiao Rong did this. Among the many brothers and sisters, she and Xiao Rong were the closest.

Xiao Rong came to Xiao Xiang, slowly squatted down, approached Xiao Xiang, and said softly: "I like Sister Xiang the most, I have liked her since I was a child. Because of this, I don't want Sister Xiang to ascend the throne. I still imagine the past.
