On the tower of the tiger side, there was a lot of noise and shouting, and many ministers and nobles shouted that the soldiers in the city went out of the city to meet the battle.

But Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, ignored it, and thought about something with a sinking face.

Seeing this, many Chu generals such as Xiang Yan, Xiang Mo, and Yang You gradually quieted down.

In all fairness, Xiang Yan, Xiang Mo and the others were not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng outside the city, after all, the tiger side was not without the strength to fight, and even if it was nearby, there were still troops that could be mobilized.

In contrast, they were even more troubled by the fact that they saw several Xiang clan members such as Xiyang Jun Xiang Gong by the side of Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng.

Listening to the many nobles around him scolding angrily after noticing the figure of Xiyang Jun Xiang Gong, Xiang Gong, the Xiyang Jun under the city, was expressionless, as if he didn't take it to heart at all, on the contrary, Xiang Yan and Xiang Mo felt inexplicably embarrassed.

They even vaguely felt as if the people around them were staring at them with suspicion.

I don't know how long it took, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, suddenly pushed away the soldiers who were blocking the front, and in the exclamation of the princes and nobles, "Be careful", he stood by the wall again, and shouted: "Silence! ”

For a while, the upstairs of Hufang City suddenly fell silent.

It's no wonder, after all, after the last "Four Kingdoms Invasion of Chu", the Chu king Xiong Xu, who took the opportunity to kill many nobles in the country, still has some deterrent power in the hearts of these nobles.

However, the deterrence of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, could not have any effect on the son of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, who held his head high and looked directly at the former, and the heat in his eyes for something made Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, feel a little surprised - the baby who was lucky enough to survive back then finally grew up and became such an ambitious man.

"You, do you want to go into the city?"

Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, asked Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng under the city.

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he heard something profound, and replied in a loud voice: "I want to enter the city!" ”

"Do you really want to go into town?"

"I'm really going to go into town!"

"At this point?"

"At this time!"

"......" After staring at Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu, thought for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order down and open the city gate!" ”

Hearing this, the nobles and nobles upstairs in Hufang City were so shocked that they almost stared out their eyes.

However, when they wanted to persuade Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, they saw that the latter had already walked to the steps of the city wall after taking a deep look at Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng outside the city.

"Boom—"

A moment later, the gates of Tiger Fang City burst open.

Seeing this scene, even Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was a little surprised.

In fact, just now, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, has made up his mind in his heart: he will enter the city today no matter what, at all costs!

But what he didn't expect was that Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, really opened the city gate.

"Childe, will there be any ......?"

The general under the command of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, reminded the former in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xiang Gong, the fine yang monarch, also showed a little suspicious look on his face.

Xiong Tuo, the king of Huancheng, pondered for a moment, in fact, he also felt a little strange, but he was not timid - although there was still an elite army called the "Tiger Army" in Tiger City, this army was not necessarily the opponent of the "Xuanyi Army" under his command, as long as he could enter the city, even if there were any traps in the city, what was he afraid of?

Thinking of this, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, rode a war horse and led the team into the city without fear.

When he entered the city, he saw a person standing near the city gate from a distance, and when he looked closely, it was actually Huang Arsenic, a scholar who had dealt with him several times.

I saw that after Huang Arsenic saw Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, he took a few steps forward and bowed his hand and said, "Prince Xiong Tuo, the king invites you to meet in the palace in the city." ”

"......" Xiong Tuowei, the king of Xuancheng, frowned and pondered, even though he didn't understand what his father was thinking in his heart.

After thinking for a while, he instructed his general, "Ziche Division": "Ziche, deploy city defenses. …… If the Tiger Army dares to make a mistake, kill! ”

To put it nicely, "deploying city defense" is actually just to seize control of city defense from the hands of the Tiger Army.

Hearing this, the yellow arsenic wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

At this time, Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, had already turned his head to face Xiang Gong, the Jun of Xiyang, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiang Gong, you might as well go to the palace with me." ”

"Good!" Xiyang Jun Xiang Gong looked solemn, and then shouted lightly: "Where is my son Xiang Xing, open the way for the son!" ”

"Yes!" Xiang Xing, the son of Xiang Gong of Xiyang Jun, heard the words and walked out.

"Please!" Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, gestured to the scholar Huang Arsenic.

The scholar Huang Arsenic took the reins of the horse from his entourage, turned over the horse, and led Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, Xiang Gong and others, to the palace of the king of Chu in the city.

Along the way, the group had no intention of chatting, the scholar doctor Huang Arsenic was silent, and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, paid attention to the streets of the city from time to time, to his surprise, there was no trace of the tiger side soldiers in the streets and alleys he passed, which made him wonder very much: his father Wang Xiongxu let him into the city, is there really no conspiracy?

Compared with Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, Xiang Gong of Xiyang Jun was even more nervous, his old face full of wrinkles seemed to be full of solemnity, he glanced around with sharp eyes, and his right hand was unconsciously pressed on the saber, as if he was ready to draw the sword out of the sheath at any time.

But it turned out that the concerns of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, Xiang Gong and Xiang Gong of Xiyang, were superfluous, and when they came to the palace of the king of Chu, they were still not ambushed.

However, he ran into the military master who commanded the Tiger Army, Xiang Yan.

After glancing at Xiang Gong, the monarch of Xiyang, Xiang Yan raised his hand and pointed to the palace of the King of Chu, which was close at hand, and said in a deep voice: "The king and the princes are already waiting in the palace. ”

Xiang Gong, the monarch of Xiyang, glanced at the palace of the king of Chu located on the other side of the canal in the city, as well as the many tiger soldiers in the area here, and said to Xiang Yan: "Please evacuate the soldiers here." ”

It stands to reason that Xiang Yan, who is loyal to Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, will not agree, but he didn't expect that after hesitating for a moment, Xiang Yan actually agreed, waving his hand to signal the Hufang army near this place to evacuate.

Seeing this, Xiang Gong, the monarch of Xiyang, did not go too far, and instructed his son Xiang Xing to stay here, while he personally escorted Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, with about 300 people, across the bridge located on the canal, to the palace of the king of Chu on the other side.

With all kinds of confusion, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, came to the palace, climbed the steps, and came to the porch of the main hall.

At this time, he looked into the main hall, and saw that his biological father, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, was on the main seat of the main hall, and the left and right sides under the royal steps were full of ministers and nobles, and a large number of people were pressed by black.

The inexplicable pressure made Xiyang Jun Xiang Gong feel a little nervous, and a layer of sweat oozed from his head.

"Xiong Tuo, please." General Xiang Mo gestured beside him.

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, glanced at Xiang Mo, and then at the people in the palace hall, as if he understood something, a few playful smiles appeared on his face, and he walked in without fear.

And when Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and his party walked into the main hall, the princes and nobles in the hall all stared intently at the former and his party, some with solemn faces, some with indifferent faces, and some with a little sneer on their faces, with different expressions, and so on.

However, under the gaze of these people, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, walked into the hall without anyone else, staring at his father Qin and Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, who were sitting on the main seat.

"Father, you're old......

After looking at his father for a while, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, said lightly.

This sentence seemed to pour a basin of cold water into the hot oil pot, which made the hall explode all of a sudden, and even Xiong Xu, the king of Chu with a deep face, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, although it was only for a moment.

"Xiong Tuo, what do you mean by that?!"

Xiong Wu, the son of Chu State and Guling Jun, couldn't bear it, so he jumped out first and scolded.

Under his leadership, many nobles and ministers in the palace also reprimanded Xiong Tuo for "great rebellion".

However, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, just looked at them with contempt, and instead of being angry in the slightest, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

More than ten years ago, it was also a palace like this—but in Shouying—that he held the head of his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao with indignation, and presented it to these princes and nobles of Chudong, and according to his uncle's instructions, he asked these people for forgiveness in a low voice.

And now, when he appeared in front of these people again, he could feel the panic and uneasiness in the hearts of these guys who were above the top at the beginning.

"Hehehehehe, hahahaha, hahahahaha-"

In the main hall of the palace, in front of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, and in front of the nobles and ministers in the palace, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, couldn't help laughing, and his arrogant laughter seemed to deter the nobles and ministers in the palace, so that the bursts of abuse and scolding stopped unconsciously.

"Tuo'er, what are you laughing at?" Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, looked at the son in front of him with a sinking face, that son's courage was even greater than he imagined, and his arrogance was not enough to describe.

"......" Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo's smile stopped abruptly, and he looked at his biological father expressionlessly.

"Taku? That's a good name to me.'"

『……』

"Pick-up? Haha, it turns out that I misunderstood. That's how I understand it...... The husband hears that the strength of a gentleman can open up the gate of the country, but he is unwilling to hear it with his strength. Childe, in addition to pronouncing "扌庶 (zhi)", there is another way to pronounce it, "Tuo", which means to open up and forge ahead. Hmm, maybe you can be the one who will open up a new era for me in the future."

『……』

"Please don't call me that, Father."

Looking at Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, with an expressionless face, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, said indifferently.

In this world, there is only one person who can call him "Tuo'er", a person who has long passed away.

After that, before Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, and the nobles present reacted, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, stretched out his finger and pointed to his feet, and said in a deep voice: "Here, there should be a seat for me Xiong Tuo!" ”

Listening to this arrogant declaration, many nobles and ministers in the palace were almost angry.

Although they had long guessed that Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was here to seize power, they never expected that this guy had no intention of concealing it.

It just doesn't make sense!
