low-key is king

Chapter 722 Who will you choose to help?

In the dead of night, in many places in King Daxuan City, no one fell asleep because of what happened during the day. This is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the middle of the night, in the palace of the Daxuan King City, this is a special place belonging to the Xuan clan, and ordinary officials are not allowed to enter.

At this moment, there are several figures in the hall, the first two are sitting and standing, it is the emperor Xuan Tiangao and the royal family enshrining Qin Yunling, while the one standing with bowed head is Xuan Zhengzhao who has just been abolished as the crown prince.

When the other ambitious prince's mansions gathered and discussed, the father and son obviously didn't have much sleepiness, but no one spoke at this time.

Xuan Tiangao tapped the back of the chair lightly with his fingers, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Qin Yunling's eyes flickered in the side and rear, and his mood was obviously not too good.

As for Xuan Zhengzhao above, before the two of them opened their mouths, he naturally didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of attracting the wrath of his father again, he would have a more miserable end.

The so-called joint trial of the three divisions is actually just a superficial article. In fact, there is nothing more serious punishment for Xuan Zhengzhao than being deprived of the crown prince.

Over the years, he relied on the position of the prince to hide from the open and dark arrows, but once he lost the protection of the crown prince, what would be waiting for him?

stomping on...

I don't know how much time passed, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the hall, and then a figure appeared in the hall, attracting Xuan Zhengzhao's eyes.

"Thirteenth brother?"

Upon seeing this, Xuan Zhengzhao immediately recognized that it was his half-brother, the prince.

As for the words that came out of his mouth, it seemed that he was gnashing his teeth, and there was a flash of hatred.

Xuan Zhengzhao clearly knows that he is in the end at this moment, and who owes it to him. All of this is because of the new student named Lu Xun of the Teachers College.

As for his thirteenth younger brother in name, he is already Lu Xun's best friend. The other party joined the New Moon Palace. When the New Moon Restaurant changed, he had been hiding by the side to watch the show.

Now Xuan Zhengzhao couldn't trouble Lu Xun, so he could only hate Xuan Shisan with his eyes.

The royal family is ruthless, even a brother with the same Xuan family blood can become a big enemy in an instant.

"Meet the Emperor!"

Xuan Shisan did not lose his etiquette, he first knelt down and made a big salute, and then asked: "I don't know why the emperor called his children here late at night, why?"

"Thirteen, don't you really know why I came here for you?"

Xuan Tiangao had a half-smile smile on his face, and it seemed to be a sneer at the same time. The rhetorical words made Xuan Shisan's heart tremble, and he wondered to himself if he was going to ask the teacher for a crime?

"Could it be for Lu Xun?"

Xuan Shisan naturally had his own guess, but he used a rhetorical question. In fact, he already guessed what his father wanted to say, which made him a little more cautious.

For some reason, after watching that big show today, Xuan Shisan's mentality also changed subtly. It seemed that his father, the emperor, did not behave as openly as he imagined.

Anyway, Xuan Shisan believed in a truth, the fault during the day was not Lu Xun, but Xuan Zhengzhao wanted to rob the women of the people by force, and it was his fault that Xuan Zhengzhao was wrong.

"Thirteen, how much do you know about Lu Xun?"

Xuan Zhengming's eyes were still flickering, but he asked a crucial question.

To be honest, his understanding of Lu Xun is only one-sided. He believes that as the thirteenth son, he should know more about Lu Xun.

"He is from Xuanyang country. This time I went to Xuanyang country to recruit disciples. I saw that he is very talented, so..."

Xuan Shisan talked eloquently, but this description, which seemed like a running account, made the first two frown. Is this perfunctory?

"Thirteen, you should know, that's not what I want to hear!"

Xuan Tiangao frowned and interrupted Xuan Shisan's eloquent words. Could it be that the information system of the Daxuan royal family would not be able to find out these things on the bright side? Do you need to repeat them?
"Then father, why don't you just tell me, what exactly do you want to hear?"

A gleam flashed in the depths of Xuan Shisan's eyes, and such a question made Emperor Xuan Tiangao's mood worse. Is this kid expressing his dissatisfaction with himself?

"Thirteenth brother, you don't think that you don't even need to listen to the words of the emperor after joining the Literary Teachers College?"

Xuan Zhengzhao finally found a chance to interject, and his words were a bit punitive, but Xuan Tiangao did not interrupt at this time, perhaps he also had such thoughts in his heart.

Strictly speaking, although the name of the Daxuan Wenshi Academy has the word "Daxuan", it is clearly a different system from the Daxuan Dynasty, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Daxuan Royal Family.

Even in a certain sense, the overall strength of Literary Teachers College is still far above the Daxuan royal family.

It is understandable for Xuan Zhengzhao to say this, Xuan Shisan's other identity may really not need to look at the face of the Daxuan royal family.

But regardless of the background between the two, Xuan Shisan is still Xuan Tiangao's son after all.

He could not listen to Emperor Daxuan's words, but he couldn't even listen to his own father's words, wouldn't that be treason?
"It's not me who is disobedient. If it weren't for you, second brother, how could my Daxuan royal family lose so much today?"

Xuan Shisan didn't dare to talk back to Xuan Tiangao, but he had nothing to be polite to Xuan Zhengzhao who had been pulled down from the crown prince.

The former Xuan Shisan may have respected his second elder brother, but he did not expect that Xuan Zhengzhao would be such a person, who could even do the thing of robbing civilian girls, which is simply contemptuous.

"You... Xuan Shisan, don't forget, I am your second brother, the same blood is flowing on our bodies, don't turn your elbow too hard!"

Xuan Zhengzhao was a little impatient for a while, and at this time he brought up the blood and family relationship, which made Xuan Shisan unable to refute, after all, the blood of Xuan's royal family did flow on his body.

"Father, that's all I know about Lu Xun!"

Xuan Shisan didn't pay attention to Xuan Zhengzhao any more, but turned his attention to Xuan Tiangao, which was a conclusion to the previous question.

It's just that such a result undoubtedly made Xuan Tiangao quite dissatisfied.

"Thirteen, your friendship with Lu Xun looks very good!"

Xuan Tiangao spoke softly, and then he heard him say: "If... I mean if, if one day, my Daxuan royal family and Lu Xun really meet each other, who will you choose to help?"

Xuan Shisan was taken aback by the sudden question, and then his face darkened as well.

He never thought that he would make a choice between these two choices.

"Father, it's just a mistake made by the second brother, it hasn't reached such a serious level, right?"

Xuan Shisan frowned, these words almost made Xuan Zhengzhao explode again, but he still wanted to hear the answer, so he resisted not to explode.

"I said what if!"

Xuan Tiangao seemed determined to hear an answer, so he emphasized it again, and fixed his eyes on the thirteenth son in front of him, as if he wanted to look into the depths of his heart.

But Xuan Shisan's hesitation at this moment already made Xuan Tiangao very unhappy.

Relatively speaking, he clearly knew that if Xuan Zhengzhao was asked such a question, the other party would definitely give him a satisfactory answer immediately.

In the entire hall, it was so quiet that even a needle dropped to the ground could be heard clearly.

The three of them were all waiting for Xuan Shisan's answer, and seeing his hesitation, a sneer appeared on the corner of Xuan Zhengzhao's mouth.

"If...if it's the father who makes the move, then I choose not to help each other, but if other people make the move, then I will help to occupy the right side!"

After a long time, Xuan Shisan finally took a deep breath, and the words that came out of his mouth immediately caused the expressions of the three of them to change, and their moods were also different.

"Xuan Shisan, don't forget that your surname is Xuan, not Lu!"

Once again, Xuan Zhengzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to stoke the fire in his father's heart. This remark, obviously, was to put Xuan Shisan on the fire.

Sometimes, blood relationship is more important than reason. Although it is a bit unreasonable to say this, it is human nature in this world. At least the vast majority of people are helping their relatives and not helping their relatives.

Of course, there are strong and weak levels of this "friendship". Let's take Xuan Tiangao as an example. If he was not forced by several powerful people during the day, he would definitely choose to help his prince.

What's more, Xuan Tiangao is still the Emperor Daxuan, and as a king and father, he is undoubtedly extremely dissatisfied with Xuan Shisan's answer.

For the sake of an outsider, he even said something about "the two don't help each other".

"Father, today's fault is not Lu Xun's fault!"

Xuan Shisan also seemed to be forced into a tinge of anger. Obviously Xuan Zhengzhao made a mistake, but now it seems that Lu Xun has made a big mistake. Is there really no truth in the world?
"So what?"

Qin Yunling of the upper five realms finally let out a deep sigh. These four words contained extremely strong arrogance. Those who are strong in the upper five realms like them always speak with their strength.

Even if Lu Xun is on the side of the truth, so what, he is just a kid in the sixth realm, does he really think that he has some backing and can challenge the Daxuan royal family?
"That's it!"

Xuan Tiangao waved his hand, stopping what Qin Yunling wanted to say again, and then turned his gaze back to Xuan Shisan, with deep disappointment in his eyes.

"Is the shopkeeper of the New Moon Restaurant Lu Xun's Taoist companion?"

Xuan Tiangao's words were a bit unconstrained, and Xuan Shisan was slightly taken aback by the sudden question, and then a look of disbelief arose in his heart, and he suddenly looked up at his father.

"Father, you... you don't mean to..."

Xuan Shisan didn't even know how to word it. He actually had a guess in his mind, but he didn't want to face that guess. If it was true, what should he do?
