Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 224
Su Bai chuckled lightly, and said no more. He felt that the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, was indeed a good friend. At least the other party did not put himself in the position of prince, and he was a real trustworthy person. He cooperated with him at the beginning. Although it is not a verbal agreement, it is not very formal, but the other party has not changed.

Mr. Yan didn't mention the matter of cooperation anymore, obviously he didn't take this matter seriously. Su Bai also understood that if he wanted the dividend, he could ask at any time. He didn't know how big this Mr. Yan's business was. The prince is also really strange, he doesn't love the country, but loves doing business?
The banquet lasted until late at night, Young Master Yan and Su Bai met again later, sent Su Bai out of the door, and watched him and Xiao San get into the carriage.

On the carriage, Xiaosan gave Su Bai a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "Brother Su, you actually knew the Fifth Prince Zhao Yan before? You kept it from me for so long, and I thought he wanted to make friends with you, so it turns out We have known each other for a long time!"

Su Bai shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Little third brother, I didn't hide it on purpose. I didn't ask you before if there was a Mr. Yan in Shangjing, but you said that there was no rich family named Yan. I knew him at that time. When I was there, I didn't know that the other party was the fifth prince. I only guessed it when I saw the invitation the day before yesterday, but I haven't confirmed it yet."

Xiaosan suddenly realized that Su Bai had indeed asked him about Mr. Yan before, but who knew that Mr. Yan that Su Bai was talking about at that time was actually the fifth prince Zhao Yan!He didn't think about it at all!

Xiaosan smiled and said: "Okay, I just asked casually, by the way, how did you meet the Fifth Prince? Then what's the deal with cooperation?"

Su Bai didn't hide anything, and said: "I was in Nanxuan City of Tongzhou before, and you also know that, Mr. Yan went to Nanxuan City for business, and accidentally met the other party on the street. When it came to the wine, I happened to know the brewing method of 'Shaodaozi', so I mentioned it to the other party, and after Mr. Yan tasted it, we confirmed the cooperation."

Xiao San nodded and said: "So that's the case. I said that you were a little tripper at that time, how could you drink such a good wine as 'Shaodaozi'? So it was you who brewed this wine!"

Then he suddenly frowned again, and pondered: "You said that the fifth prince went to Nanxuan City for business matters? What kind of big business can there be in such a place, is it worth his trip?"

Su Bai also frowned, and said, "Little San, what do you mean by that? Is there something wrong?"

"It's hard to say, I just think it's a bit too coincidental." Xiaosan shook her head.

Xiaosan glanced at Su Bai, and said, "The dignified fifth prince, even if he is running a business, he shouldn't go to a remote place like Nanxuan City himself, and think about it, what happened to Nanxuan City during that time?"

"Cheats of magic skills?" Su Bai asked tentatively.

Xiao San nodded and said, "Yes, to be precise, the 'Hundred Ghost Gate' appeared. Don't you think the two appeared in Nanxuan City at almost the same time?"

Su Bai remained silent. He had actually thought of this situation before, but he couldn't be sure, but Xiaosan was different, probably because he had been a headhunter for a long time, and his thinking was different from normal people, so he thought of these things habitually. There are conspiracies and tricks in everything. Of course, what the other party said is indeed reasonable. It can also be said that he has a keen sense.

Su Bai frowned and said, "Even if it has something to do with the 'Hundred Ghost Gate', what does that mean?"

Xiaosan smiled and said: "I can't explain anything, I don't know what the relationship between the Fifth Prince and the 'Hundred Ghost Gate' is, or whether there is a relationship, it is naturally difficult to judge, but now it seems that our Fifth Prince, I am afraid It’s not that he has no idea about the throne at all!”

Su Bai didn't understand right, and asked, "How do you know this?"

Xiao San rolled his eyes and said, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? If the fifth prince has no interest in the throne, what is the purpose of running these powers?" The reason why he said this was because he already believed that the fifth prince Zhao Yan and " "Hundred Ghost Gate" is related.

Su Bai frowned and said, "Young Master Yan is just doing business. Even if the 'Hundred Ghost Gate' has something to do with him, it has nothing to do with the throne, right?"

The reason why he said this is also because in his mind, if he wants to compete for the throne, there are only two points. One is to be favored by the current emperor and be directly elected as the prince. This will give him a great advantage, but Wu Dynasty has not yet chosen As for the prince, that's why there are several strong contenders for the throne.

The reason why these princes are said to be powerful contenders is that they have considerable influence. The influence here mainly refers to those in the palace. At least Su Bai thinks so. Ministers, holding the big prizes, because these people can affect the emperor's decision on the succession of the throne, and even if it is really necessary, they may have the intention to do the opposite...

But the situation in the Wu Dynasty was different. After Su Bai expressed his point of view, Xiaosan patted his forehead. He didn't understand why Su Bai had such an idea, but he still patiently explained: "Brother Su, you can't help me with this point." But it was a big mistake. Although the points you just mentioned did have a great impact on the fight for the throne, don't you know that the forces in the world, those great families of the sects, are also a big help! "

Su Bai really didn't understand, so he hurriedly asked, after Xiao Sanyi's explanation, he finally understood what was going on.

This still has to start from the particularity of the Wu Dynasty and the particularity of the world. First of all, this is a world where warriors really exist. Originally advocating martial arts, he did not resolutely resist these sects, and even had a deliberate bias in some laws and regulations, which can be seen from the fact that school rules and family rules can be equivalent to laws and regulations.

In this way, the status of the Jianghu forces will naturally be greatly improved, especially the current seven sects, at the mountain gate where the seven sects are stationed, it can be said to be a small kingdom!And if you want to ascend to the throne, you obviously need their support!

After the explanation, Xiao San shook his head and said: "Although the Seven Great Sects are powerful, it is not that there are no other sects that can replace them. As long as you can control the forces in the Jianghu, whether it is the Seven Great Sects or the Three Great Sects is just a name." That's all."

Su Bai understood, the Fifth Prince Zhao Yan did not try to curry favor with the Seven Sects, but instead wanted to replace them!

Of course, this is just Xiaosan's guess. This guess is still based on the fact that the fifth prince has a relationship with the "Hundred Ghost Gate", and the relationship is still very close. As for what happened, he still can't be sure.

But if this is the case, his view of Young Master Yan will be changed, because the "Hundred Ghost Sect" is not decent, whether it is the identity of the other party's demon sect a hundred years ago, or the current behavior style of the other party, it is not decent!If Mr. Yan is really willing to work with him for the sake of the throne, he is not a good person...

It's just that in the previous relationship, Su Bai couldn't see that the other party was a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, not a vicious person. Is this because he guessed wrong, or the other party's acting skills are too deep, to the point where he can win an Oscar?
Seeing that Su Bai was silent, Xiao San shook his head and said, "Okay, don't think about it so much, it's really hard to say this kind of thing, but... after today, your close relationship with the fifth prince may be on the line. It has spread among the aristocratic circles in the capital, at least you don’t have to worry about the Seventh Prince pestering you again, even if the Fifth Prince has no idea about the throne, the Seventh Prince is not good at recruiting the Fifth Prince’s people, this is digging the wall!”

Hearing this, Su Bai frowned even tighter. He said a little annoyedly: "That's not the case, is it? What do you mean I have a very close relationship with the fifth prince? How could it be? Besides, you, a noble child, were born today. Besides, there are no other noble children, as long as you don't tell me, how will others know?"

Xiaosan curled her lips again and said, "My brother Su! You are still too young to figure this out? Think about the performance of the fifth prince tonight, did he spend most of his time chatting with you? Was it when he was leaving? , the other party has been sending you to the gate? You can see that he sent someone else? Doesn't this mean that you are very close?"

"As for other noble children, how do they know? It's easier. Even if I don't say it, there is no impenetrable wall in this world! This is especially true if the matter involves the children of the royal family. Although the fifth prince seems to have no intention of the throne , but usually how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place! There are other princes, and some ministers, anyway, there are definitely not a few people who stare! Believe it or not, it doesn’t even need to be tomorrow morning, What you said to the fifth prince tonight, and how you behaved tonight, will all appear on the table of someone who cares! The water for the nobles in the capital is very deep! Brother Su, just You look like this, I think sooner or later you will fall into it and drown!"

Xiaosan patted Su Bai's shoulder after finishing speaking, making Su Bai's face even more ugly. Now he can be sure that he really shouldn't have come to Beijing!But it's too late to say anything now, he seems to have fallen into it.

Xiao San didn't say anything more, wanting Su Bai to think about it, the carriage fell silent, and they didn't say a word until they reached the Lu residence.

After getting out of the carriage, Xiaosan smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Su, you can do whatever you want in the future, who made us brothers! I won't do anything to save you. Seeing that you are really going to be drowned, I will drag you You got it!"

Su Bai forced a smile, didn't say anything, went back to his own yard, let out a long breath, maybe just like what Xiao San said, now he can only do what he wants!
