Let's get together

In the distance, small birds were dancing and singing. Everything was so quiet and peaceful.

In such an environment, even if it was the people's hearts, they were still very calm and gentle.

"I am here …" I bid you farewell. This time, I'm going on a long journey with Grand Master. If all goes well, we might be able to return in a year. If things do not go well, the time to return will not be certain. " After a moment of silence, Zhou Aoxuan finally spoke.

Chen Nianran was first happy, but soon after, she felt a faint sense of loss. His absence meant that he would not fight for the children. However, how could she have such a depressing feeling!?

"Mn, you …" "You don't need to tell me." She hummed from the bottom of her heart.

"In my eyes, you are my wife, and in my, Zhou Aoxuan's, wife, you have never been the only one. In the past, I just wanted to settle everything, and then I wanted to bring you back. Now... The time was not right. Little girl, take care. Wait for me to come back. "

Hearing this, Chen Nianran frowned in displeasure. She looked at him coldly, "I am your wife, what about the one from your family? "She is your wife, Zhou Aoxuan. We only have one night off, there is no need to be so serious."

"I'll carry her …" Slowly, Zhou Aoxuan spat out these words. But this made Chen Nianran deeply understand that from the beginning to the end, he could only use this marriage to his advantage.

"Is that reputation really so important to you? For them, you... He could actually abandon everything and use everyone. "Zhou Aoxuan, you're making me feel insecure."

Zhou Aoxuan painfully closed his eyes, "Little girl, you don't understand. You really don't understand." Some things are not what you see. "I used her, but if I didn't use her, our Zhou family, and even the commoners here, could become that person's slave."

"That person? Slave? "Are you talking about the Emperor?" Chen Nianran asked in shock, under the heavens, could it be that he was a king? If one were to speak of slaves, then the only choice was the Emperor.

But, Zhou Aoxuan firmly shook his head, "No, not Your Majesty, it's …" The eighth prince, as soon as he succeeded in his fight, he would gain the recognition of those people, and everything here would become his jurisdiction. And we, too, would become his slaves. "I am unwilling, and I don't want all of us to go all out and end up becoming his personal possessions …"

"Eighth Prince? How could it be the prince, and not the current emperor? Why do I get more confused the more I hear about it? Didn't they say that the whole world is a land of kings? A prince, no matter how much power he holds, it can't be as great as the emperor's, right? "

Zhou Aoxuan looked deeply at her, not growing impatient at all, "That's right, could it be that this world is a king's land?" But in fact, this world seemed to belong to the Emperor on the surface, but in fact, it belonged to the eighth prince. If not for Grand Master's guidance, I wouldn't have believed him. However, after entering the capital, I realized that this was the truth. The current Emperor … He was too weak, too obedient to the empress dowager's words, which was why the situation was like this. And Zhou Aoli, he was also the eighth prince's man. "Once I am unable to enter the eighth prince's eyes in business, the Zhou family will no longer have a wife like me."

This was the first time Zhou Ao Xuan had patiently told Chen Nianran about his family's matters. It was also the first time he told him about the Zhou Mansion.

"I still don't understand?" Chen Nianran spread out his hands.

"Well, I don't know. You probably don't understand. "Alright, this time, I'll explain it more clearly."

As if he had made up his mind, Zhou Aoxuan held Chen Nianran's hand and walked forward. As for Chen Nianran, who was immersed in the current state of the Zhou Mansion, she did not notice that she did not reject his hand.

"Speaking of which, the Emperor was quite talented in the past few years. Under the unstable state of the imperial government, he was able to stabilize the power of the capital with lightning like methods. A few years later, the emperor had also made excellent progress. However, in the past two years, the emperor had changed. His personality greatly changed, especially regarding some matters in the Prince's Mansion, he paid even less attention to them and even gave them quite a bit of authority.

According to the information gathered, all of this was done by the empress dowager. He didn't know why the current empress dowager was so loyal to the eighth prince. First, it was to be the emperor, and then it was to be the bestowal of the territory. And, it was a very fertile city, the Eighteen Cities. So many rewards have been given to the eighth prince, it can be said that he has given half of the fattening cities in the world to the prince. "

Zhou Aoxuan nodded. "That's right. The Emperor shouldn't be a fool." Yet, he gave these cities to the eighth prince. It was not an exaggeration to say that the capital city was the world of the emperor on the surface. In fact, many people could tell that this world belonged to the eighth prince. What was even more annoying was that this eighth prince was not only talented, but he also had a lot of ambitions.

After having taken control of 18 fattening cities, he was still continuously developing. Right now, our area has also been targeted by the eighth prince. If this city is successfully taken over by him, then he will definitely be looking for his trusted aides to manage it. And inside the Zhou Mansion... "Big brother, he's his best man."

"Impossible! Your big brother is just a popinjay, how could he possibly be the eighth prince's right-hand man?" Chen Nianran recalled the scene when she saw the Zhou family's eldest brother in her mind. It was obvious that he was drunk to the point of being empty. It was impossible for such a person to become a capable general of the eighth prince.

"My good big brother, he's always acting for others to see. With his identity and background, he was indeed the eighth prince's best man. If it wasn't by chance, I wouldn't have seen through it either. "

"Gongzi, is what you said true?" Chen Nianran was stunned once again. If these words did not come from Zhou Aoxuan's mouth, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.

"I also don't know why the people up there would choose you, Big Brother. Not only do you not believe me, I also don't believe you. Those existences, even those of the royal family, had to give way. It was very easy for these kind of people to find hardworking subordinates. There was a rumor that one would rather be a dog than a royal official. Although they were only lackeys for that group of people, there were still many people fighting over them. Even the current emperor looked forward to delivering his children to those people. It's because their status is unshakable and their abilities are too good, so … None of us mortals can be touched. "

As Zhou Aoxuan spoke to here, he could only bitterly smile.

Although he was very strong, he was able to develop his business skills at the age of twelve. Of course, his ability was nothing in the eyes of those people in the clouds.

"I understand. From your description, I feel that this group of people seem to be people who cultivate the dao of immortals." However, could such a person be born? Do people who cultivate to become immortals really exist in this world? "

Based on these, Chen Nianran could only surmise that those people were cultivators. Only such a person would be able to stand on high ground. Even the current emperor had to see their expression and act accordingly.

"Yes, I heard they are such existences." Zhou Aoxuan nodded, "Although I am not sure what methods Big Bro used to contact this kind of person, but I can say that Big Bro's ultimate goal is still to use this group of people to take back everything that happened to our Zhou Family. Moreover, he also wants to snatch away the hereditary title of the Zhou family. My Zhou Mansion... The only reason why it did not fall is because of the hereditary Wang Jue. "

"What, how can the Zhou Mansion be so powerful?" Chen Nianran cried out once again.

From what she knew, the Zhou Mansion had always been a powerful family. In this area, no one could move, and no one could match their power. They had also heard that there were people in the capital city, but because they were very low-key, no one knew the details.

Now that he heard the truth from Zhou Ao Xuan, Chen Nianran knew that the Zhou Family that he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Zhou Aoxuan glanced at her meaningfully, "Yes, the Zhou family has been around for four generations. After four generations, the Zhou Family … The influential nobles had also reached a peak. However, the people of the Zhou family still kept a low profile. They were afraid that the Zhou family might have a great influence, so that they could distribute the people from the several residences to train in different places. Right now, the Zhou Mansion was in control of the person holding the throne. His body was getting worse with each passing day, and he was once again facing the alternation between old and new. At this time of year, the competition for the title of nobility was appalling to behold. Even if it was poison, it was common to see it in the open or in the dark. As for the Zhou family, as long as there is no large-scale massacre, these competitors are allowed to scheme and play tricks. "

"Because, they wanted to pick the most intelligent and capable heir to the position, so they let you fight for it, and they let you …" To kill your loved ones. Zhou Mansion's teachings are really different from the others. "

Zhou Aoxuan deeply believed that this was the case with his miserable smile. His lonely smile contained a hint of dejection. Chen Nianran understood that in such an environment, relatives were not like close relatives. Because they all wanted to finally climb up to that position.

Only by climbing to that position could he gain long-term power and peace.

"You are also competing in this competition?"

"Well, everyone in our generation, including a few uncles who didn't fight for the title last time, has a chance. If his eldest brother had truly made use of that group of people, then his winning chance could be said to be a hundred points. If he were to ascend to the throne, the first one to operate would definitely be me. I don't want to be his tool, and I don't want to die... "So little girl, wait for me. Wait for me to return from this trap …"

It wasn't that he didn't want to marry her, but … If he were to marry her now, who knows if it would be harmful to her, or …

Zhou Aoxuan painfully closed his eyes. At this moment, he was deeply disappointed at his own powerlessness.

A soft hand grabbed onto his fingertip, and Chen Nianran looked at him with bright eyes. Always on your side. "

Those bright eyes seemed to be telling him: You can trust me, but also seem to be transmitting positive energy to him.

Holding her hand, Zhou Aoxuan nodded his head, saying, "Little girl, let's get together."

Having known each other for so long, this was the first time he said it so calmly.
