Some well-meaning people in the crowd also reminded me one after another.
Zhou Qiubai handed over his hand. "Thank you, old man, for reminding me."
"This is not a reminder, I am advising you to run away for your life!" the old man said urgently, "Although Xue Beng is ineffective, he has Prince Xue Xing behind him, and he is very protective of his shortcomings!"
Heaven Dou City The two royal bullies, Xue Xing Xue Beng, these two are not easy to mess with.
Yang Guyun suddenly said, "They won't come."
The old man was stunned. "What?"
"I won't come today." Yang Guyun repeated.
Zhou Qiubai smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder, "Don't worry, old man, we have our own sense of caution. But you were frightened just now. Go home and rest early."
He took the money bag he just took from the guard's pocket and stuffed it into the old man's hand. "This little money will be treated as a shock payment for you."
It's not his money anyway, so it's free if you don't use it.
The old man wanted to say something else, but Zhou Qiubai turned around and said to Yang Guyun, "Let's go, I'm starving to death."
Inside the carriage, the anger on Xue Beng's face had dissipated.
He leaned on the soft brocade cushion and closed his eyes. The arrogant and domineering prince was long gone, replaced by a young man with a calm expression.
"Go to the Prince's Mansion." He said calmly.
The driver responded and drove towards the Prince's Mansion in the east of the city.
Half an hour later, Xue Beng was sitting in Study, opposite a middle-aged man wearing a purple python robe.
Prince Xue Xing didn't say anything for a long time after listening to Xue Beng's story about what happened on the street.
"Zhou Qiubai, Yang Guyun..." Prince Xue Xing slowly repeated these two names, "Tianxing City The information about the battle was placed on my desk three days ago. Zhao Wuji, that old boy, acted quickly and gave it directly to Gold Soul Fighting Badge."
Xue Beng whispered, "Uncle, that Zhou Qiubai... I can't see through it. He is obviously just a Soul Elder, but his swordsmanship is so exquisite that even in the academy The one here is probably not that strong even at his age. With six guards, three Soul Elder and three Soul Ancestor, he and that Yang Guyun couldn't survive twenty breaths."
"The second ring of the millennium." Xue Xing put down the jade ring finger and tapped the table with his fingertips. "This kind of qualification may not be produced by one Soul Master World in the entire Soul Master World century. He was only Soul Elder when he was nineteen years old. Either he was delayed in his early years, or... he was laying a solid foundation."
He raised his eyes and looked at Xue Beng: "You want to recruit them?"
Xue Beng hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes, now the elder brother... has attracted too many talents. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect clearly supports him. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has an ambiguous attitude, but most of the people in the court are already princelings. Apart from you, uncle, there are too few really useful experts around me. These two people are young and have great potential, and..."
He paused and lowered his voice. "They are scattered members of the Jianghu community and have no sect background. It makes them feel more at ease when using them."
Prince Xue Xing showed a smile of approval, "You have finally made some progress, but..."
He changed the topic, "What is your current status?"
Xue Beng was stunned for a moment and said, "... the dandy prince."
"Why would a dandy prince suddenly want to recruit two little-known gangsters Soul Master?" Xue Xing asked back, "Your eldest brother's spy network is all over Heaven Dou City, you clashed with them in the street today, and the message may have reached his ears. If you turn around and try to solicit favors, with Xue Qinghe's suspicion, what will he think?"
Xue Beng Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on his back.
Xue Xing continued, "He will wonder if my good-for-nothing brother is pretending to be stupid? What is he trying to do in recruiting talents? Does he... have any thoughts on my position as the prince?"
Study was completely silent, with only the crackling of candlelight.
After a long while, Xue Beng said bitterly, "My nephew understands that now is indeed not the time."
"It's good to know." Xue Xing stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the Crown Prince's Mansion in the night, "Xue Qinghe is so perfect. Too perfect to be true. I always feel that there is something hidden behind him, but after so many years of investigation, there is no flaw at all. The more this happens, the more careful you must be."
It's normal for a prince to do anything for the throne. If he hadn't deliberately pretended not to care about the throne back then, I'm afraid there would be no Prince Xue Xing now.
So if two of the four princes died, it actually didn't matter.
This is the cruelty brought about by the throne.
But Xue Qinghe, he always felt something was wrong.
Mainly because the former Xue Qinghe had no interest in the throne.
Because he took the guy in the academy as a role model, this guy Xue Qinghe used to want to be a scholar.
It's a pity...
That person probably knew something, but he didn't say anything.
However, Xue Xing didn't think of anything else and just turned around, "Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun can keep an eye on them and even give them some conveniences secretly, but they must not blatantly recruit them. As for today's matter, you continue to act like a playboy. You should hold grudges and speak harshly when you should. I will look for an opportunity in a few days and I will personally come out to teach them a lesson and make this scene smooth."
Xue Beng nodded. "Then... how to benefit them? I read the information and found that these two people are not into eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and there is no excuse for giving money or women."
Xue Xing laughed, "This is the hardest part. People who are truly ambitious and principled are the hardest to buy, but they are also the most worth buying. They come to Heaven Dou City to experience and play Soul Fighting, so give them to Soul Fighting Arena They create opportunities. Didn't Zhao Wuji arrange a Gold Soul Fighter match? The opponent is Iron-Armored Dragon Rhino Brothers. You secretly find someone to give those two brothers a hard fight and force them to show their true abilities from Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun."
Xue Beng's eyes lit up. "Uncle, you mean... to provide help in times of need?"
"It's not a help in times of need." Xue Xing shook his head, "It's to make them owe a favor. Soul Fighting Arena Soul Skill has no eyesight and is conceited about life and death, but if they fall into a bitter battle, On the pretext of resolving grievances, you send people to help secretly. Remember, you must leave no trace so that they will not notice that you did it deliberately. When they win, you can go and congratulate them without caring about past grudges, and make a good gesture. Once you go back and forth, the favor will be planted."
He walked back to the desk and sat down. "Jianghu people value righteousness. Today's conflict in the street is a holiday, and tomorrow's secret help is a sign of kindness. Gratitude and hatred will make it easier to get closer. When the time is right, if you show a little bit of the difficulties of pretending to be a playboy, maybe you can get them to treat you sincerely."
Xue Beng bowed deeply. "My nephew has learned a lesson."
"Go." Xue Xing waved his hand, "Remember, in front of your brother, you will always be a waste. This is the basis for saving your life."
Xue Beng Exit Study and close the door gently.
······
Prince's Mansion Zhou Qiubai They don't know the information over there.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in Heaven Dou City's largest private room, "Diaolou Cottage".
Zhou Qiubai picked up a piece of meat and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. "Ah, this trip was well worth it!"
