Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The last time Li Yuan met the eldest princess was in the Library Pavilion, and the eldest princess told her that she came to see him in secret.

It is impossible for the eldest princess to tell anyone else about this.

And he only told Li Yao, so the eldest prince, Prince Xuan, probably learned about it from Li Yao.

When Prince Xuan said this, Li Yuan quickly glanced at the expressions of Prince Ming and Prince Yu.

Prince Ming obviously didn't know, and Prince Yu's expression was very strange. Wasn't the eldest princess on his side?

He doesn't know either?

The others also looked at each other. For a moment, the four of them had different expressions, and various thoughts came to their minds.

Li Yuan put down his chopsticks and said with a look of pity:

"Yes, my aunt knew that I didn't want to marry Chu Qingyan, the governor of the country, so she gave me the idea to remind my fourth brother to ask my father to marry Chu Junyan. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that Chu Junyan would act so quickly, and my fourth brother hadn't taken action yet. , Chu Junyan has already gone to court to ask for a marriage."

Prince Ming paused for a moment and continued to pick up the food. He looked at Prince Yu out of the corner of his eye and said casually.

"oh?

So the eldest princess wants the fourth child to marry Chu Junyan. "

Prince Xuan smiled and said with some depth: "That's a pity. Chu Junyan's movements were really fast and caught many people off guard."

With his head lowered, King Yu was still carefully wiping the jade chopsticks he had brought. Facing the gazes of King Ming and King Xuan, his expression did not change and he asked:

"Now that the matter is over, fifth brother, what do you think of Chu Qingyan?"

"How else can we look at it? Just take it one step at a time."

Li Yuan looked like he didn't understand anything and was just getting along.

Prince Ming's expression became serious, he stared at Li Yuan and said:

"Fifth brother, when Chu Junxiong is unwilling to hand over his military power, our royal family can no longer stay in the government."

King Xuan also said:

"That's right, fifth brother, you should understand the relationship between our royal family and the Zhenguo Mansion. Don't be fooled by Chu Qingyan!"

King Yu also looked at Li Yuan:

"Fifth brother, you can just stay in Lingzhou and be your prince. No matter whether the government of Zhenguo is defeated or the power of Lingzhou is defeated, nothing will happen to you."

Li Yuan's heart condensed. Did the three princes come to him today just to let him clarify his and Chu Qingyan's positions?

But……

The eldest prince, Prince Xuan, understood what Li Yuan was thinking and said solemnly:

"Fifth brother, no matter how we, the royal family, fight, we must remember that the Dayu Dynasty can only belong to our Li family!"

King Ming and King Yu nodded heavily.

At this moment, Li Yuan could feel that the three princes in front of him shared a common hatred.

Even if they fight to the death for the throne, if there is a threat to the royal family's status, they will join forces without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Li Yuan raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

………………

"You want to come with us too?"

In a remote residence, eight little boys and girls dressed simply were gathered around Yuwen Chengdu. They were all eleven or twelve years old and had thin bodies. The tallest one was not as tall as Yuwen Chengdu's waist.

Yuwen Chengdu glanced at the longing eyes of these boys and girls and looked at the slim girl standing at the door.

The simple light green shirt cannot cover up the girl's natural beauty. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, skin like snow, curved eyebrows, lively eyebrows, a small nose slightly upturned, a face as white as jade, and a face as bright as a chariot. magnificent.

Her big eyes flickered, staring boldly at Yuwen Chengdu with a firm expression.

This group of people is the group of people who Yuwen Chengdu met with the Leading Party in Lingjing City.

The little boy's name is Xiao Si.

The eldest sister he was talking about was this beautiful girl named Nangong Xiyue.

Wu Yong on the side was also watching Nangong Xiyue and thinking in his heart.

Nangong Xiyue and this girl's face don't look like an ordinary orphan.

It's a nuisance for them now.

Yuwen Chengdu spent a day with them yesterday and could feel the kindness and liveliness of these little guys.

Led by Nangong Xiyue, who is only sixteen years old, these little guys neither steal nor rob, and rely on their own abilities to support themselves. They do not have to let Yu Wen Chengdu look down on them because they are orphans, withdrawn and world-weary.

"Didn't you say you wanted to join Yujing Academy? Why would you want to come with us?"

For some reason, Yuwen Chengdu looked at Nangong Xiyue and felt a warm feeling toward his sister, so he gave her a chance.

Hearing this, Nangong Xiyue narrowed her bright eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth like a crescent moon.

If you don't reject it right away, it means there is an opportunity.

When Nangong Xiyue saw Yuwen Chengdu the day before yesterday, she had an indescribable intuition. This intuition was a hundred times stronger than her intuition when she often found money, as if Yuwen Chengdu was like a big golden mountain.

She originally thought that this intuition was because she was going to Yujing Academy.

But after she left Yuwen Chengdu and arrived at Yujing College, that intuition was gone.

And when Yu Wencheng was about to leave, her intuition became even stronger.

Only then did they realize that Yuwen Chengdu was their big opportunity.

Nangong Xiyue trusts her intuition and has helped her resolve crises many times.

Having met all kinds of people, Nangong Xiyue could tell after two days of communication that Yuwen Chengdu was not a bad person.

Therefore, Nangong Xiyue wanted to leave with Yuwen Chengdu.

Nangong Xiyue glanced at the newly appeared Wu Yong and explained:

"Because I found that Yujing Academy is not as beautiful as I imagined. I have no power here. I am a very ordinary person and can easily be excluded by them. My appearance is more likely to cause trouble. I am not alone. , I still have them.”

Nangong Xiyue pointed to this group of boys and girls. Just one day after arriving, Nangong Xiyue could feel the difficulty of living in Kyoto. If she wanted to live in Kyoto, it would be impossible without a backer.

Yuwen Chengdu crossed his arms, glanced at the little girl who was pulling his arm, and said expressionlessly to Nangong Xiyue at the door:

"Then you can go back to Linjing City. Do you know where I'm going? The place I'm going to is more dangerous than you think."

Nangong Xiyue shook her head and said: "No, I have already announced in Linjing City that I will be admitted to Yujing College and will not go back.

If I take them back, I will be laughed at by my colleagues. Moreover, when we go back, we are afraid that life will be even harder than before. "

"This world is about strength. I can see that you are very strong, brother Yuwen. We are still young and don't need many things. No one takes us to heart, so no one targets us. As we grow older, , the greater the demand, sooner or later you will have to find a backer.”

"I don't know where Brother Yuwen is going, but I believe that Brother Yuwen is a good person and has great strength. I don't want to give up this opportunity. We can also help Brother Yuwen do things.

We just want to live in this world!

Even if he died vigorously, he didn't want to live in a dawdling state, for fear of accidentally offending someone important. "

"Brother Yuwen, please take us in!"

Following Nangong Xiyue's request, the boys and girls surrounding Yuwen Chengdu prayed:

"Brother Yuwen, please take us in!"
