The little county lord was grounded and naturally couldn't come out, and Zuo Wuji didn't come, and Lan Langlang didn't come either. This may seem a little strange.

Ye Xiao stretched his waist.

After ten days of sleepless practice, the cold qi in the space had been absorbed by him, and even the Heavenly Spirit Space had already shown a state of weakness in reverse......

Ye Xiao knew that it was time to stop, and it was too late.

It's better to let go of the cold qi of the Heavenly Spirit Space for the time being, and wait for it to accumulate for a few more days and start rampant again, and then it's not too late to absorb it.

Together, they fell lightly from the watchtower.

The housekeeper immediately greeted him: "Childe, how is it? Now you should be about to break through the fourth grade of the Renyuan Realm, right?"

Originally, Ye Xiao's cultivation had always stayed in the third grade of the Renyuan Realm, and he hadn't moved for several years, and the housekeeper asked this sentence, but he didn't want to hit his son's confidence - breakthrough, how could it be so fast?

The four products of the human yuan realm?

The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched strangely, and said, "Well, it's almost, I'm about to break through the fourth grade." ”

The housekeeper smiled with satisfaction: "Childe has been working too hard these days, in fact, this practice also requires a combination of work and rest, a step-by-step process, and a good rest tonight." ”

The housekeeper naturally didn't know that what he was talking about was the four products of the Human Yuan Realm.

And the four products that his son-in-law said are about to break through...... But it's the fourth product of the Earth Yuan Realm!

Between the two four products, there is a big difference between heaven and earth...... If Ye Xiao is going to directly explain that he is actually about to break through the fourth grade of the Earth Yuan Realm, I am afraid that the housekeeper will be able to faint directly.

"Is there any movement in the outside world these days?" Ye Xiao asked.

"Well, wait for the next son to eat first, and I will come together for the son. The butler said with a smile.

"Well, Uncle Song, let's eat together. Ye Xiao said.

"Good, good. Steward Song smiled.

......

"In the past few days, the border of the capital has been very sensitive. ”

The butler drank and talked at the same time.

Ye Xiao was surprised to find that the housekeeper's drinking posture was very strange, holding the wine glass with two fingers, it was very smooth and natural, and he didn't see his throat move, nor did he make a grunt, anyway, a glass of wine was very elegant. Then he poured himself a full cup like a cloud, and then went down in one gulp and it was gone......

Although the drink is amazingly fast, the whole process and the whole set of movements are unusually elegant.

This set of elegant actions of drinking made Lord Xiaojun a little envious: he was also a good drinker in his previous life, and he consciously drank a lot of good wine, and he naturally drank a lot of good wine;

"Sensitive? How do you say that?" Ye Xiao faintly felt that the housekeeper of his family would definitely not be just a retired soldier, and his origin was not so simple.

First, keenness, second, elegance, just to say that the act of drinking, without systematic training, several generations of subtlety, will never come out of such a natural aristocratic demeanor......

Third, mysterious, never talking about the past...... Fourth, this housekeeper's cultivation can't see through it with his current gaze.

There are many levels of martial artists in this world, but under normal circumstances, when they don't do anything, it is difficult for people to see what realm and level the target person is. But if there is a shot, the real strength will be exposed.

It is precisely because of this that some exercises that can conceal one's own cultivation have also come out.

This kind of mental method itself naturally does not have the effects of recuperation, increasing cultivation, protecting the body, healing and attacking the enemy, but it can play a considerable role in confusing the enemy's ears and eyes and confusing the enemy's judgment.

After cultivating this kind of exercise, a cultivator can hide his aura and conceal his combat power at a certain level, so that the enemy will not see his true strength, and he will naturally take advantage of it when he makes a move, and may even cause the final result of a reversal.

Only some powerful people, with their own experience and the qi induction of the enemy, can roughly predict the opponent's realm level when the opponent is not moving. And the Laughing Monarch is naturally possible, no matter what realm the master is, as long as it is not beyond the realm of the Laughing Monarch itself, no matter how the other party hides, it can still be seen at a glance.

But now he can't see the true level of cultivation of this butler.

Since Ye Xiao's eyesight experience is the same, but he can't see the other party's strength level, the only explanation is that the housekeeper is now much higher than his own cultivation.

After all, Ye Xiao's current shortcoming is that his true strength is still relatively rubbish, and he only has to be in the realm of Diyuan Sanpin!

"Yes, it's sensitive. Although the housekeeper's drinking demeanor is elegant, he is a master who never finishes drinking, and he will not put down the wine glass when he picks it up: "Your Majesty the Emperor should have a headache now...... Because, the seizure of the heirs between the princes is very likely to start from this auction. But His Majesty was helpless and helpless about it. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it. Ye Xiao humbly asked for advice.

This, he really didn't realize.

Although Ye Xiao has experienced people, he knows very little about the royal strife in the secular world, and he is almost ignorant of the so-called imperial mental arts, but this is the essential difference in the realm and level of life, and he is helpless.

"His Majesty the Emperor has always been committed to supporting the crown prince, and then, the second prince and the third prince are used as whetstones before the prince ascends to the throne. Relax their competition with the prince and oppose them, but they will never allow their power to really overshadow the prince, after all, the whetstone is just a whetstone, if the knife is really worn out, or even broken, it will be against the original intention. ”

"Although there is always a glimmer of hope for them, thinking that they have hope for that chair, they will not really give them hope, because that great position is only reserved for the prince alone. ”

"This is the so-called Imperial Mind Technique. The butler smiled.

"Emperor's heart technique...... Ye Xiao muttered.

"His majesty himself is eloquent, which is undeniable, but his poor health has become a shortcoming in the entire layout. His Majesty was fought out of the war of the Eight Kings Rebellion, which can be said to be decisive. But...... Although the crown prince is also a talented person, after all, he does not have that kind of experience, and it is okay to be a prince who keeps the success, but it is absolutely impossible to carry forward the foundation of His Majesty, and even expand the territory and achieve hegemony. ”

"So in order to hone the crown prince, His Majesty has no choice but to hold the two princes out to play against each other. Let the prince feel the threat of the road ahead, so that there can be progress. But he always has a sense of proportion, of course, he can't let the whetstone break the knife, and he can't use the knife to grind the whetstone through prematurely...... The balance in this has always been well grasped. ”

Ye Xiao nodded slowly.

Yes, all the emperors of all dynasties basically did this.

However, among them, we can really grasp the proportion...... But there aren't many.

It seems that His Majesty, the emperor of the current Chen Imperial Kingdom, is really a wise and wise monarch.

"However, a few years ago, there was an unexpected change that disrupted the wishful thinking of the emperor and made this balance unbalanced, that is, ...... The prince met a woman by chance, and this woman fell in love with the prince at first sight, but this woman was the daughter of the Mu family, one of the eight major families. Although she is not a descendant of the long house, she is the daughter of the second person in the Mu family. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has always been quite wary of the eight families, the three families in the Chen Emperor Kingdom, naturally disapproving of this family business, but there is no reason to object, if it is deliberately obstructed, not only will the prince hurt the relationship between father and son, but the Mu family is not easy to explain, after all, the Mu family is one of the eight families, not the object that the Emperor Majesty can be at the mercy of the ......"

After all kinds of plans, I finally had to approve this family affair and let the woman become the crown princess, and from then on, the power of His Royal Highness the prince suddenly swelled, and the other two princes no longer had the slightest power to fight back. ”

But the two princes will not sit still, the temptation of the throne is always intoxicating, even if there is little hope, they still refuse to give up, the success of the crown prince, and the sudden increase in threat, on the contrary, let them find a way to improve their strength...... So they proposed to the daughters of the other two major families of the Eight Great Families in the Chen Imperial Kingdom...... Between the three, a balance is formed again, but this balance is no longer a balance, which can be called a terrifying balance. ”

"In the past, under the adjustment of the emperor's majesty, the balance between the three can be called undecided, if one of them is too strong, the emperor will naturally suppress it, and now, the emperor's ability to modulate and balance is sharply extinguished, once the situation is out of balance, it will inevitably lead to a huge crisis of total collapse. ”

"In fact, due to the vigilance of His Majesty the Emperor, although the people in the Eight Great Families are rich and powerful, they have never been able to touch the realm of imperial power. But this time, the emperor's son took the initiative to come to the door...... So the eight major families are naturally willing, right in the middle, like a fish in water; even if they don't have a daughter, they have to change into one, not to mention that the beauties in the eight major families are like clouds?"

"So the crown prince made the emperor very dissatisfied this time, because the strength of the eight major families has fully penetrated into the imperial family. Moreover, there are three sons in total, all of whom are sons-in-law of the eight major families......"

"This incident has caused a lot of turmoil in the past few years...... Now, it has just subsided. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has spent a lot of effort to unify and sort out the forces of his three sons, and re-planned, and now he has just planned it, so that everything is back on the original track...... It's that the crown prince is a little stronger, and the two princes are a little weaker, and only when the two princes work together can they fight against this delicate balance of the crown prince, and only then can they take a breath... Suddenly, the auction came out of nowhere. ”
