What group are you guys?

Chapter 629 How can there be such a treacherous person in the world?
Dogs are naturally better when they are out in the wild, especially dogs like him, which were raised by the emperor himself. They are unrestrained and lawless, so Han Shengxuan can do whatever he wants outside without any consequences.

After all, if a eunuch doesn't harm loyal officials and embezzle bribes, what use is he to the emperor?

No matter how arrogant and domineering Han Shengxuan was outside, he was just a servant when facing the emperor in the palace!
Some might say that the Grand Eunuch could be arrogant and domineering even within the palace, but please get your facts straight.

Only the emperor, empress, empress dowager, and princes who are qualified to inherit the throne can be considered the masters of the palace. The other concubines and unfavored princesses are not qualified to be masters at all!

So even though Han Shengxuan had subtly mentioned to the emperor that he had an illegitimate son who had been raised outside the palace, the emperor didn't take it to heart at all.

No matter how pampered a dog is, if it doesn't understand its place and insists on eating at the table during ancestral worship, then even if the owner spoils the dog, the only thing left to do is kill it.

However, according to seniority, Zhao Huangchao was the emperor's great-great-great-uncle. The old man was also someone who wholeheartedly wanted the Liyang Dynasty to prosper. Zhao Huangchao was envious of Zhao Kai's good fortune. Naturally, he could not let such a royal offspring be left to wander outside, could he?

So Li Qingyuan came to the capital first to receive the title of Prince of Leisure, and Zhao Huangchao followed behind, personally escorting Zhao Kai to the capital!
With the intervention of his great-great-grandfather, Zhao Dun naturally had to give him face. Fortunately, Zhao Huangchao also knew that he had to save face for the emperor in such matters, so he made up a reason that Zhao Kai had been weak since birth and had been taken to Longhu Mountain to cultivate until now.

Although the reason was far-fetched, it made things easier. Zhao Kai was officially registered and also given the title of Prince.

The title of Prince of the County is the lowest rank of nobility. It is essentially an honorary title, just like the titles of Prince of Xiaoyao or Prince of Qingcheng. They have no real power or fiefdom. Apart from sounding good, their actual power is not even as strong as that of a prefect.

But for Han Shengxuan, having this identity is enough!

In the past, no matter how much he wanted to help Zhao Kai build up his strength, it was useless because of their unequal status. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly have someone work for Zhao Kai.

Now that Zhao Kai can finally be recognized as a member of his clan, he can start implementing the backup plans he had previously made.

"Very well, I need to confirm a few things now, and I'd appreciate it if you could help me out, Father-in-law!"

Li Qingyuan decided to have Han Shengxuan try to capture a group of people from Beiliang. They didn't need to be important figures; they should mainly be civilians or ordinary soldiers.

He wanted to investigate and see what ordinary people were really thinking.

Leaving aside how someone arranged things, let's just talk about the Xu family father and son who returned to the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

"Son, how are you feeling now?"

Looking at Xu Fengnian lying on the bed, even though the doctor had already examined him, Xu Xiao still asked with concern.

"Damn it! Kill him! Kill him!"

Xu Fengnian's head was still throbbing, especially since his once handsome face had been slapped so hard it was swollen, which filled him with immense anger. Despite the young master's constant complaints about his suffering, he had never experienced such humiliation in his entire life.

If it were just physical pain, Xu Fengnian could at least bear it, but this burning pain in Chi Run's face was unbearable for him.

When has he, the heir apparent of Northern Liang, ever suffered such humiliation?
"Father also wants to kill him, but that guy is too strong. Now is not the time to kill him!"

Xu Xiao also felt extremely annoyed. He had encountered many so-called experts before, but under his command and with his men's relentless pursuit, no so-called expert could withstand him.

Even Wang Xianzhi, who was known as the invincible master of the martial arts world for sixty years, was just so-so in Xu Xiao's eyes.

After all, wasn't the previous martial arts legend, Li Chungang, obediently locked up at home like a dog by him?
But this enemy is just too ridiculous!
In terms of lethality, Li Qing was far less intimidating than Li Chungang's one-sword-break-a-thousand-man feat back then. Although the vanguard camp of three thousand men was killed by the enemy last time, based on the intelligence gathered by the scouts in the army and the investigation of a certain person in recent days, Xu Xiao concluded that the enemy's lethality was at most a hundred armor-class warriors, which was at least half as bad as Li Chungang's purely offensive celestial being.

But what's most troublesome about him is that he's a guy with absolutely no moral compass!
One is a peerless master who can escape at any time when facing a large army's encirclement, and the other is a peerless master who can grab people's female relatives and then threaten and intimidate them. Even if their strength is slightly inferior, they will still make people extremely wary.

Back in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the nine states were at war, Xu Xiao was just an ordinary captain at the beginning. In terms of martial prowess, he was only a second-rank officer, and in terms of military formation, he was barely first-rate!
While he is certainly at the top of the social hierarchy compared to the vast majority of people, compared to the very top group, Xu Xiao's strength and intelligence are only average.

But why was he able to become the final victor?
It's all because Xu Xiao is shameless!
Everyone thinks that Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, is so powerful that he should be an unparalleled master. But in reality, Xu Xiao is not even a first-rank master yet, only a mere second-rank master!

The reason why Xu Xiao is still only a second-rank official is because he does not have the belief in victory. Over the years, in every battle, whether it is a duel or a war, Xu Xiao has never followed the principle of being fair and square.

Xu Xiao originally thought that there was only one person in the world as shameless as himself, but who would have thought that he would encounter someone even more shameless than himself this time.

Damn, he took the money but didn't do anything. What kind of person is that?
"Son of a bitch!"

Xu Fengnian really wanted Xu Xiao to bring all the Northern Liang troops to hunt down the enemy, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up on the idea.

He acted violently inside the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion mainly because he was furious. After all, the other party's words implied that they wanted to throw his elder sister into a brothel. If he could still tolerate that, he really wouldn't be worthy of calling himself a playboy!

"What do we do now? Is there any way to find out where he's hiding our eldest sister?"

If he only wanted Yu Youwei, Xu Fengnian would have agreed long ago. After all, he had only captured that girl to play with, so killing her or giving her away wouldn't have mattered.

Ginger paste?
If he spent most of his time with his older sister Xu Zhihu before he was a teenager, then after he turned ten, he basically spent his time playing with Jiang Ni.

So how should I choose now?
