Elf Sandstorm Lord

Chapter 298 The old prince
.........

Hearing this, Zhen Meng and his wife were still calm, while the expressions of Su Yan and Gu Beichen changed slightly!
Not surprisingly, the prince’s condition seems to be that he will definitely be ahead of the old Marquis, and his mentality will inevitably be unbalanced!
The two of them also know that this "elderly prince" has no hope of succeeding to the throne in this life. He must be dissatisfied and even have decadent thoughts. But why don't you trust him? Why are you saying this in front of us?
Not paying attention to what the two viscounts thought, the old prince took out his wine bottle, opened it and took a sip, spilling most of it!
Judging from the aroma of the wine spilled on the ground, this pot of wine that he didn't care about wasting was no less inferior to the top-notch wine that Su Yan and others tasted in Longyuan Pavilion before!
After taking a bite, the old prince first asked about the identities of Su Yan and Gu Beichen, then looked at Kuailong and said, "That's what you said!"

Kuailong responded with a cry of "Boooo~", while Su Yan's giant swamp monster showed a complicated expression!

After Sunyan's translation, Su Yan also learned that it turned out that this fast dragon felt its original dragon vein aura from the giant swamp monster!

And this also means that the giant swamp monster actually has the blood of this "overlord level" fast dragon. No wonder the dragon attribute energy is so domineering!
"I didn't expect that not long ago, I went to Qinchuan County with Kuailong and met a giant swamp monster with an owner. I didn't expect that after giving birth to an heir, he would appear here again!
However, the owner of the giant swamp monster I remember seems to be~, well~ forget it, since the child is now in the hands of Viscount Su Yan, it can be regarded as fate.

You have to stay in Chang'an City for a few more days. Why don't you let the Swampert follow your old father and learn his skills? "

Gu Beichen on the side looked thoughtful when he heard this, but soon returned to his usual smile!
Su Yan was overjoyed, and then said: "I have never seen a "overlord-level" quasi-god elf.

If I can get some teachings and advice from Kuailong, I would definitely like it. I believe it will be of great benefit to the giant swamp monster! "

Hearing this, the old prince said: "My fast dragon just made a breakthrough by luck a few days ago.

It can't be compared to my father's Kuailong, which has been promoted to "overlord" for a long time! "

Hearing this, Su Yan was shocked. According to legend, Guanzhong Hou's trump card was a "overlord-level" biting land shark!

But he didn't expect that there would be another dragon that had reached the "overlord level" for a long time, which really frightened him. He thought that there must be a group of mini dragons in the Marquis's territory!

Regarding this, Zhen Meng and his wife and Gu Beichen did not show any surprise. Obviously, the information revealed by the prince was not a secret among the upper-class nobles of the Northwest Province!
.........

later,

Su Yan and Gu Beichen both said goodbye and left the Zhen Mansion. Before that, the prince had already left with Kuailong and the giant swamp monster!

On the way, the latter took the initiative and said: "Congratulations, Brother Su Xian, the prince has taken away your giant swamp monster. I think he will bring some other treasures with him when he sends it back!"

"Oh, but the Marquis and I don't know each other, so why?" Su Yan asked in confusion!
Gu Beichen explained: "Brother Su Xian doesn't know. The old man in my family told me earlier that when he was young, this prince was an elegant, intelligent, and outstanding successor!"

"Oh?" Su Yan said with some surprise: "From what I've seen today, he's quite charming and open-minded!"

Gu Beichen smiled and said: "When this prince was young, he not only loved to make friends with all kinds of famous people, but he was also generous and generous. He was always liked by some generals and talents in the territory!
However, as Guanzhong Hou had no intention of passing the throne, the relationship between them became more subtle! "

Su Yan whispered: "So, this prince is unwilling to give up on himself, or is worried about his father's suspicion, so he uses this to express his attitude!"

"Hey~, I don't know this, but looking at the prince's attitude towards the wise brother just now, it is obvious that he wants to win over you.

As for whether it will make Guanzhong Hou feel grudge, it depends on whether Xiandi can handle this distance! "So, this prince still has great ambitions, he just pretends to be so."

But this is of no use to Guanzhong Hou!Why waste this life when you could be enjoying wealth? "

Gu Beichen sighed and said, "Dear brother, do you know why my father, who is still in his prime, wanted to pass on his throne to me early!"

"Didn't you say that your father is bent on seeking advanced alien arts?"

"That's just one aspect!" Gu Beichen said with a bitter smile: "For a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the power structure and relationships in its territory are complicated!

Just like my mother's family, it is the leading power in my family's territory.

It is even said that my father’s ability to stand out among the brothers was related to this marriage! "

As he said that, he looked at Su Yan with a half-smile but said: "Brother Yu, I heard that you also married a woman from an old noble family in Qinchuan County. I believe this is powerful, and Brother Su Xian can understand it." "

Then, Gu Beichen continued: "At the beginning, my mother's family was willing to provide strong support, in addition to safeguarding some of the family's status and interests!

Of course, in order for me, the legitimate son, to establish the position of heir as early as possible, it is even better to succeed in advance!

Of course, the situation in each family's territory is different, so Guanzhong Hou is naturally considered a strong master!

But for those families in the territory that have been passed down for hundreds of years, it will definitely not be simple if you think about it!
Even if the prince gives up on himself, his maternal family will definitely not be reconciled!If he doesn’t fight, someone will force him to fight!
Not to mention, those strong men and heroes who made friends with the prince back then.Some of them are from civilian backgrounds, and even if they are somewhat capable, they are definitely not willing to slowly survive the years in a calm system! "

Hearing this, Su Yan immediately understood that the change of territory owners was not only a game between some families, but also an opportunity for some people to take sides!
If there is no major expansion of the territory and the owner never changes, their position will not change much!

And if you can join a young master in advance and wait to inherit the territory, that will be the merit of supporting him!

For example, in his previous life on Blue Star, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, he might not have been dragged aboard by the wise ministers and famous generals from the "Tiance Mansion"!

After all, if Li Shimin failed, they might just be just hangers-on, or even lose their heads.

But if they can force him to rebel, and if they succeed, they can directly become famous founding ministers and generals!
And if Zhao Kuangyin had not accepted the yellow robe back then, his group of soldiers would have killed him directly and then elected someone else!
After all, they only want to do this because they want to be the founding ministers of the country!
Talents are of course a help when a territory is on the rise, but when a family or territory stagnates, it cannot give them room for advancement.

Then these talents will instantly become an accelerator that pushes you into the abyss!
