NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 40 - To Each His Own
The spring breeze rustled the curtains of the carriage and there was silence in the windows.
Why is Uncle Shi so pessimistic?
Xia Chen looked at Li Wenzhong and sighed.
‘Do you know, over these 50 years, how many senior generals of the Dragon Martial Guard have changed!’
Li Wenzhong’s voice was incomparably calm, but his eyes were deep.
‘Eight whole terms! Especially in the past 20 years, five have changed!’
Xia Chen couldn’t help but be silent when he heard this number, having changed five in less than 20 years, it seems that this Dragon Martial Guard Senior General is really a high-risk occupation.
Over the years, His Majesty has become more and more inscrutable, his joys and sorrows do not show in his colour, his jealousy has become stronger and stronger, the best Senior General of the Dragon Martial Guard is still Zhao Qiang from more than 30 years ago, who calmly landed on the ground and went home to retire, and the rest have all been copied out of their homes!
Li Wenzhong’s words were calm, but they had an aura of murder.
This position has unlimited scenery, but it also has unlimited risks.
I understand, Uncle Shi!
Xia Chen nodded solemnly and said nothing more.
The carriage continued to slowly move forward, the wind blowing over the bells to make a pleasant crunching sound, the wind in the capital was a bit strong!
……
Xia Chen understands that Li Wenzhong is not just pressing his chips onto himself alone, he values the Marquis of Zhen Dong behind him more.
According to the time that five Dragon Martial Guard senior generals have been replaced in 20 years, each one is serving for four years on average.
Li Wenzhong is right to look favourably on Xia Chen. But four years is too short, he obviously does not believe that Xia Chen can influence the court and His Majesty at this time.
He put pressure on the Xia family.
Li Wenzhong appeared to be talking to him, but in fact he was talking to the Xia family behind him.
Li Wenzhong deliberately revealed so much, even revealing his own handle, which was a kind of pitch.
……
Xia Chen pondered, and the carriage stopped abruptly.
Master, there is a carriage in front of us that has stopped us, looking at the logo on the carriage, it must be the Third Prince!
The Li family’s old servant said quietly in front of the carriage.
Li Wenzhong frowned, his predecessor, the Senior General of the Dragon Martial Guard, had fallen because he got a little too close to the Crown Prince.
And now that the Third Prince had reappeared, this was clearly a sign of danger for him.
Make way for them, let them pass first!
Li Wenzhong opened his mouth in a deep voice, but it was obvious that it was impossible to make way, Zhengde Street was the main road, wide enough for six carriages to pass at the same time, and the other party was obviously rushing towards him.
Sure enough, the opposite side of the luxurious carriage stopped as it passed Li Wenzhong’s carriage.
I’ve heard that General Li is about to be highly promoted, this prince is also quite happy after hearing about it, it just so happens that I met here, the front is exactly the De Shun Building, the promotion of officials in the dynasty will be held here for wine, why don’t you come with me now, go to the De Shun Building, have a drink, and celebrate together! ‘
The luxurious carriage was lifted up a curtain, revealing the face of a handsome young man, the young man with a smile on his face, it was the Third Prince who had watched a good show in the White Moon Tower box last time.
Li Wenzhong knew that he could no longer avoid it, so he also lifted the curtain and said in a cold tone.
Your Highness, I still have urgent matters at home, today it is inconvenient to go to the De Shun Building, such as to do a promotion banquet, by then I will definitely give Your Highness an invitation!
Li Wenzhong rejected people outside of a thousand miles, nowadays who does not know the Crown Prince and the Third Prince fight some powerful, he is now identity sensitive, how can be involved with the Third Prince , unless, he really does not want to do Dragon Martial Guard Senior General at all.
Up to this point in his life, he could only be His Majesty’s person!
General Li is a bit careful, I’ve looked up to the General for a long time, not to mention the fact that I was invited on the street, not a private gathering, my father is a man with a big heart, would he be suspicious of the General because of this matter!
The third prince said with a smile, his look was quite bold, quite a sense of debauchery and love of freedom.
Your Highness, I really have things to do at home, today is really inconvenient!
Li Wenzhong shook his head, this three emperor absolutely no good intentions, if you really want to draw him, private secret contact, that can also chat a few more sentences, but this street so many people watching who dared to chat ah, not to mention dinner!
‘Oh, could it be that the General’s concubine is about to give birth today?’
The Third Prince asked with curiosity and interest.
The corners of Li Wenzhong’s mouth twitched a little, but he still answered with a straight face.
My wife is virtuous, my Li family has inherited unchanged, so my wife arranged a blind date today for me to choose a concubine, think, next year today, there should be a concubine to give birth to when the time comes to invite His Highness to drink the wedding wine!
Li Wenzhong said with a serious face and clenched his fists.
Xia Chen quietly listened to the two of them talk, his face strange, Li Wenzhong once again refreshed his knowledge ah.
The third prince was strangled, originally wanted to make things difficult for Li Wenzhong, the results did not expect this Li Wenzhong this are able to pick up the words, more than he is still able to pull.
The third prince’s eyes turned slightly, then he looked inside the carriage, his eyes fell on Xia Chen.
‘I did not expect to meet any acquaintances, but the Summer Family Young Master Xia Chen!’
‘Greetings, Your Highness!’
Xia Chen clenched his fists and saluted, but did not take the initiative to get off the carriage.
‘You are the son-in-law of my Second Imperial Son-in-Law, we are all family, why be so polite!’
The Third Prince waved his hand, rather warmly.
‘Young Master Xia, we are all family, General Li is timid, in order to avoid suspicion, he refused to eat wine with me, why don’t we go and drink a few cups! ‘
The third prince invited Xia Chen over.
”Yes, we are one family, no need to be so polite, Your Highness call me a brother-in-law on the line, I call you Your Highness, we each talk about each other, call the other seems to be divided!
Xia Chen also smiled, extremely enthusiastic, hand is out of the window, seems to want to hold the third prince’s hand.
The third prince’s mouth corners slightly twitching, today either this Li Wenzhong or this Xia Chen, some are not according to the routine out of the cards ah.
Especially this Xia Chen is not polite at all.
Even wanting to call him brother-in-law, he is already 20 years old this year, and Xia Chen is only 17 years old, how can he call this brother-in-law?
But in terms of seniority, this Xia Chen really was his brother-in-law!
Damn it!
The third prince cursed in his heart, blaming his own unreliable father for putting him at a disadvantage in terms of seniority.
The third prince looked at Xia Chen, stretching out his head to see the handsome face, but also some dark curses.
Not only did this person take advantage of him, but he also looks so much more handsome than him?
The third prince admitted that he was a little jealous.
But he forced himself to endure the discomfort, his face a little stiff as he looked at Xia Chen, whose face was still a little tender.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
‘Brother-in-law!’
‘Your Highness!’
Xia Chen also smiled brightly as he clenched his fists and returned the salute!
Today, this trip to the palace or have a lot of harvest Well, this is not immediately received a brother-in-law, only this brother-in-law ambition is very big ah, the future is even dare to start changing the door, kill brother patricide, is a ruthless person!
