When Xiang Chong suddenly called out Huangfu's name, everyone present was stunned, even Chu Xiu.
Because Chu Xiu had never considered it before, the Huangfu family would also get involved.
Huangfu Song's strength is not weak, but he is not strong either. He is at the upper middle level among the nine great families.
Just because there is less competition in the land of Beiyan, the losses of the Huangfu family are relatively small, and the number of people is relatively large. However, the Huangfu ancestor is already old, and the entire Huangfu family has never produced any amazing and talented people. So it's not that strong.
There is no meaning for the Huangfu family to interfere in this battle for the throne. They are originally from Jianghu, and they are also from an aristocratic family. What do they want to do by intervening in the battle for the throne? Rebellion?
They chose to help Xiang Li, but Chu Xiu would not agree. This would be a robbery.
And if they help Xiang Chong, they will offend Chu Xiu, which is not a favor no matter what.
As long as the ancestor of the Huangfu family didn't have his head squeezed by the door, Chu Xiu believed that the other party would never take a trip into this muddy water.
Moreover, Taoist Wushang is right next to Xiang Chong. If Xiang Chong had contact with people from the Huangfu family, Taoist Wushang would come and report it to him.
But at this moment, a long laugh suddenly came.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince's promise really count?"
As those words fell, Patriarch Huangfu and hundreds of elite members of the Huangfu clan opened the palace gate and entered the imperial city without knowing it.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiu's expression suddenly changed. The Huangfu family was actually involved!
Chu Xiu turned to look at Taoist Wushang and shouted angrily: "Xiang Chong and the Huangfu family have joined forces. You don't know such important news?"
At this time, Taoist Wushang was leading the Yinshan sect to fight head-on with the old eunuchs in Ouchi. He was also stunned when he saw this scene.
Because he really doesn't know about this.
Xiang Chong already regarded him as a confidant, almost inseparable. How could Xiang Chong meet the Huangfu family?
In fact, what happened this time cannot be blamed on Wushan Taoist's incompetence, it can only be said to be too coincidental.
Xiang Chong has never met anyone from the Huangfu family, and the Huangfu family has not sent anyone to meet Xiang Chong. The person who promoted the cooperation between the two parties happened to be a person who no one expected, Lin Fengyu.
Whether in the eyes of Chu Xiu or Taoist Wushang, Lin Fengyu is a standard waste, who fails to succeed but fails to succeed.
But trash also has good luck sometimes.
Faced with the pressure from the Five Calamities Taoist, Lin Fengyu did a lot of stupid things. In the end, he made a big mistake by provoking Chu Xiu, but was slapped to death by Chu Xiu.
But before he died, he did a lot of stupid things, most of which ended in jokes, but the only one that succeeded was the incident involving the Huangfu family.
Just like what Chu Xiu had thought before, Huangfu's participation in this battle for the throne was just wading into troubled waters. He would not get any benefit at all, but was asking for trouble.
Normal people would think so, so no one contacted Huangfu.
But Lin Fengyu was not a normal person. Instead, this idiot went to contact the Huangfu family, and even managed to facilitate half of the matter by a strange combination of circumstances, making the Huangfu family agree, but Xiang Chong did not agree to the conditions proposed by the Huangfu family.
Lin Fengyu had only told Xiang Chong about this matter, so Taoist Wushang certainly didn't know anything about it.
In fact, you can't blame him for being negligent. Who cares about what he has done, a waste like Lin Fengyu? It is a waste of time to pay attention to him.
While resisting Kang Dongming, Chu Xiu said coldly: "Ancestor Huangfu, you are also an old man in the world, and you know what you can and cannot interfere with.
Are you qualified to intervene in today's situation?
The old man has eaten arsenic and is tired of living? Or are you ready to find excitement and have a big game before you die?"
Facing an existence of Patriarch Huangfu's level, Chu Xiu was not at all polite to him.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had never provoked him, how could Zhenwu Tang not trouble the Huangfu family in Beiyan?
Chu Xiu's words were extremely harsh and harsh. Ancestor Huangfu's face turned dark when he was insulted by them.
However, he did not get angry and ignored Chu Xiu. He just turned his gaze to Xiang Chong and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is really willing to marry the legitimate daughter of my Huangfu family. After he ascends the throne, he will make her the queen. The first son born to him will be the queen." For the prince?"
Xiang Chong gritted his teeth and said: "Yes! I am willing! Ancestor Huangfu, take action quickly!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was in an uproar. Even the people from the Beiyan royal family who had been watching the excitement looked at Xiang Chong.
Chu Xiu finally understood why the Huangfu family was willing to take a trip into this troubled water, but Xiang Chong actually didn't agree at the beginning.
The Huangfu family actually wants to become in-laws with the Beiyan royal family and become Beiyan's relatives!
Over the years, it has been easy for the Beiyan royal family to select queens. They are basically all common people or ladies from wealthy families. They even rarely choose the daughters of military nobles. They are afraid that their relatives will affect Beiyan. the foundation of.
Of course, to go deeper, they were afraid that the emperor would be too powerful with the support of his relatives, and even be so powerful that he could compete with all the royal families of Beiyan. In that case, would the royal family of Beiyan be Xiang or someone else?
Xiang Chong is not an idiot. This kind of matter is extremely sensitive. If he agrees, he will certainly get the support of the powerful forces of the Huangfu family, but it also means that his interests from now on will no longer be separated from the Huangfu family.
Not to mention what the Huangfu family will do when the time comes, the entire Xiang family will be offended to death by him.
So when Lin Fengyu excitedly told him Huangfu's conditions, Xiang Chong didn't agree at all. He wanted to ask Huangfu if he could change the conditions. If he could agree, he would do his best to satisfy it.
But Huangfu's attitude is very persistent. They only have this condition and they will not change it.
Originally Xiang Chong had rejected this matter, but Huangfu had said something before that Xiang Chong could just speak up when they were needed.
Now Xiang Chong was forced to a dead end. He also wanted to test whether what ancestor Huangfu said was true. Unexpectedly, Huangfu actually came.
At this time, everything has reached the point where the two sides are either alive or dead. Every bit of strength is strength. He no longer cares about what will happen in the future, nor does he care about whether he will offend the Xiang royal family. Xiang Chong All you want is the throne!
Chu Xiu took a deep breath, and while temporarily resisting Kang Dongming, he said in a deep voice to ancestor Huangfu: "Are you, the Huangfu family, really prepared to get involved in this muddy water?
When it comes to strength, your Huangfu clan is not weak. You, the Huangfu clan, have been in Beiyan for so many years and have never been aggressive and have peacefully coexisted with the surrounding forces.
So I am very confused. You should know the risks involved. Do you think that the Huangfu family can become the head of the nine aristocratic families by becoming a relative of Beiyan?"
Ancestor Huangfu shook his head and said: "I, Huangfu, are not weak, but I am not strong either. Is there anything wrong in pursuing becoming stronger?
In the past, when my Huangfu clan was at its peak, I was close to the Ying clan of Shangshui. If I feel complacent because of my current strength, then it would be sad for me, the Huangfu clan.
The situation in Beiyan is turbulent. How can I, the Huangfu family, be willing to be a bystander?
Wealth and honor are sought in danger, and success or failure is destined.
You, Chu Xiu, often give it a try, why can't I, the Huangfu family, give it a try?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Huangfu Ancestor. He had an intuition that this old guy was not telling the truth.
Among the leaders of the nine great families, Huangfu Patriarch is not the strongest, but he is not the weakest either, but he is the most cautious.
It is often said in the world that someone has a grudge against someone, but how has it ever been said that the Huangfu family has a grudge against someone?
Of course, in the world, it is impossible not to provoke anyone, but Huangfu always only provokes those he can afford, and is extremely cautious about those he cannot afford to provoke.
When he participated in the dispute between the Northern Yan royal family, he still sided with Xiang Chong. Externally, he offended Chu Xiu. Internally, he also made the Xiang royal family jealous. What did he want? Just wanted to give it a try? Chu Xiu didn't believe it anyway. .
But it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Since the Huangfu family is also involved in this matter, they must pay the price of death and become Chu Xiu's enemy. If they still imagine that they can escape unscathed, then That’s called innocence!
At this time, Wei Shuya suddenly said: "Take action first and deal with the old immortal from Huangfu's family. I will stop Kang Dongming!"
The Huangfu family's participation was something Chu Xiu had not expected before. As soon as they intervened, the situation immediately became somewhat unfavorable to Chu Xiu's side. If it was not resolved quickly, the outcome would be really unpredictable.
But at this time, Chu Xiu hesitated and said: "But Kang Dongming's side..."
Chu Xiu had seen Kang Dongming's strength before, and it was simply terrifying. Chu Xiu was confident that he could temporarily resist it, but Wei Shuya was old after all, so he might not be able to block a few moves.
Wei Shuya laughed and said: "Don't worry, old man, I'm not old enough to be completely useless, I can still stop him for a while.
Of course, your movements there must be more agile, otherwise, my old bones will not be able to withstand the swordsman of the East China Sea."
Hearing what Wei Shuya said, Chu Xiu did not hesitate. He was not a mother-in-law kind of person. He immediately left the battle group and rushed towards the ancestor Huangfu.
Looking at Chu Xiu's charging figure, in an instant, a bloody aura rushed into the sky, and the overwhelming demonic aura swept across. The terrifying power even frightened the ancestor Huangfu.
Ancestor Huangfu had not had much grudge against Chu Xiu before, so naturally he had never faced Chu Xiu in this state.
At this time, he noticed the terrifying aura in Chu Xiu's body, and even he had to admit that he was getting old. There are talented people in the world, and it was time for his generation to withdraw from the world.
But before he completely withdraws from the world, he still has to fight for his family one last time!
I saw the ancestor Huangfu actually made an extremely surprising move.
He actually took out a long spear. To be more precise, it was a bloody broken spear with one-fifth of the handle broken off.
With a wave of one hand, the blood from Huangfu's right hand poured into the broken gun, filling the broken place with blood. In an instant, endless blood-colored light bloomed.
As soon as Patriarch Huangfu came up, he was in a desperate posture!
