The atmosphere in the mountain hut was a bit dull.
Today's Nangong Chuxin looks much more capable and cold compared to the past days when she was dressed in palace attire. It's more like a different person.
The middle-aged man holding a sword behind her made Xia Shang slightly familiar, but he always stood in the corner without saying a word, seeming to be the most inconspicuous character.
But in front of him, the muscular man behind Nangong Chuxin gave people an incomprehensible feeling.
This strong man is different from ordinary strong men. He has an indescribable restrained demeanor. Judging from his age, he is not young, at least in his early fifties. Standing in the room, he looks like a dark stone. It is inconspicuous, but it cannot make people feel.
ignore.
No one responded to Xia Shang's words for a long time. The strong man looked at Xia Shang. Along the way, he felt disdain and contempt for Xia Shang, and he didn't know why.
After a while, Nangong Chuxin's stern face softened: "Of course, there are other considerations in this."
"Can you please speak more clearly?" Xia Shang's tone was unkind. He had a grudge against what happened today, especially because these people caused the kind-hearted girl on the bed to be seriously injured and comatose, and many innocent people died...
What exactly are they doing this for?
Xia Shang looked at Nangong Chuxin with questions, waiting for her answer.
"Young Master Xia asked this question because he probably doesn't know about a major event that happened in the capital recently, right?"
"What's the big deal?"
"The emperor conferred the title of crown prince on the eldest prince Li Xin."
Xia Shang's pupils shrank, feeling that the news seemed to hit a certain string in his heart. His thoughts were racing, and he seemed to have thought of some possibility.
Now that the emperor's illness has improved, he may have found that the court is no longer under his control, so he gave the crown prince's position to Li Xin. After all, the crown prince's position does not necessarily mean that he cannot give it to Li Xin. The emperor cannot make the mistake of being critically ill.
When he was young, he was still confronting his son. For the sake of peace for the rest of his life and for the stability of the country, it was a sure thing to make Li Xin the crown prince.
If the news of the canonization had spread, Nangong Chuxin's actions this time would be easy to understand.
Now Li Xin not only controls the military and political power, but also has the legitimate title of prince. If it is allowed to develop, Li Xin will undoubtedly be able to steadily inherit the great power of China.
This is extremely unfavorable news for everyone in the world who wants to take this opportunity to compete for the great power of the world.
Therefore, anyone who still wants to compete will create as much chaos as possible at this last moment. It is impossible to make the world quiet.
But why is Nangong Chuxin the person who caused the chaos?
When did she come to the capital?
Nangong Chuxin seemed to see through the doubts in Xia Shang's heart and said: "Master Xia's plan is good. The imperial court paid great attention to it after learning that King Yong was attacked. It was afraid that the Jianghu forces in the south of the Yangtze River would attack the royal family again and recall His Highness King Yong.
Beijing, I also returned to the capital as a matter of course."
Just as Xia Shang was about to speak, the middle-aged man behind Nangong Chuxin interrupted: "Chu Xin, do you think this kid came up with the flesh-and-blood scheme two months ago?"
Nangong Chuxin smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
The middle-aged man glanced at Xia Shang, the contempt in his eyes lessened a bit: "You literati like to play some insidious tricks, but I have to admit that sometimes such little tricks are still very useful. I want to break it
At the end of the day, I can't think of a way to send that mediocre king back to the capital. You, a young boy, just made it happen with a random plan."
"By the way, I forgot to introduce you to the young master. This is Senior Guangxie. He is extremely powerful in martial arts. He is also one of the people whom His Highness Prince Yong relies on the most."
Xia Shang nodded: "Where is His Royal Highness King Yong?"
"I'm recovering from my injuries at Jingzhong Mansion."
"Recuperate?"
"In order to make Mr. Xia's cruel scheme realistic, I have to let His Highness Prince Yong suffer a little. I think today is going well. Why don't you follow me to His Highness's house and discuss it in detail?"
Xia Shang frowned: "As I said, I will not meet King Yong directly."
Nangong Chu's heart looked pityful: "Let's just follow the Young Master's wishes. But since we have come to this step, why don't we ask for the Young Master's explicit guidance on what to do next? After all, the Emperor has issued an edict and canonized Li Xin as the Crown Prince. This
This is not good news for Yongwang Palace."
"You didn't do well today." Xia Shang muttered, "If you didn't know how to act, you should have told me earlier."
"Please tell me, Master."
"Since King Yong has been waiting for so long, why should he rush to this moment? Now is the time for him to wait, rather than taking such extreme measures. This will only expose himself early."
Nangong Chuxin replied: "Li Xin's biggest enemy is Li Xiangyang. He should not doubt us. I feel that this operation will not be discovered by Li Xin, so..."
"Li Xin won't find out, but don't ignore Li Xiangyang." Xia Shang suddenly interrupted, "Li Xin doesn't suspect His Highness King Yong, but what about Li Xiangyang? Everyone in the world knows that there are only two people competing for the throne.
Li Xin and Li Xiangyang. Now that Li Xing has just been crowned the crown prince, someone has taken action against this matter. Everyone in the world will think that it was Li Xiangyang who did it, but Li Xiangyang knows it in his heart. He knows that there are still forces coveting the throne. Do you think Li Xiangyang will guess?
Who is the initiator of this matter?"
Nangong Chuxin's face turned pale and she turned back to look at Guang Xie.
Guang Xie frowned: "Everything has been done, what's the use of talking about it now? And that Li Xiangyang is nothing to be afraid of. Now that guy is lying at home recuperating, I'm afraid he has been frightened by Li Xin."
Xia Shang shook his head: "Even if Li Xiangyang's current power is not scary, it is only for Li Xin. I don't know how much you have in your hands, but it will not be so powerful that even Li Xiangyang doesn't take it seriously. Moreover, I don't know how much you have in your hands.
For now, after Li Xiangyang learns about this, things will become very complicated.
If you didn't take action today, Li Xiangyang would definitely be more anxious than you, and he would be unable to hold back and do what you did today. But now that you have done what he wanted to do, he will feel more at ease, at least he will know
There is no one in the world who is more anxious than him. He was supposed to be a mantis but instead he was an oriole, but King Yong, the oriole, turned into a mantis."
The change of role made Nangong Chuxin realize the seriousness of the matter, and she thought deeply: "Now that the matter has come to this, how should we deal with it?"
"Now is the time to be patient. You can't take any more actions in the future."
"Ah?" Guang Xie shouted, "Do you want to do nothing at this juncture?"
"There is nothing you can do about it. You must endure it. You must let Li Xiangyang lose his temper first. Even if you watch Li Xin grow bigger, you must endure it. You must understand that the emperor's appointment of Li Xin as the crown prince is not really about spreading the word.
The position is given to him, but the power must be reduced." (To be continued)
