V3.Chapter 55

Xiao Rong shook his head and said with a smile, "since my father Bintian, I've been at home and haven't seen anyone."

Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly, patted Xiao Rong on the shoulder and said, "at this time, I'm afraid you're the only one willing to take the initiative to see me."

Xiao Rong looked at her puzzled and asked, "why does sister Xiang say that?"

Xiao Xiang sighed: "now, any brothers and sisters who are interested in the throne don't see me as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh?"

Xiao Rong smiled up and said, "fortunately, I'm not interested in the throne, and I know myself. No matter how round, the throne won't turn to me."

Between their words, they walked into the lobby. The banquet has already been arranged in the lobby. Xiao Rong specially let Xiao Xiang to the top, while he sat at his hand.

The dishes on the table are very rich, mostly fish, shrimp and crabs, especially steamed crabs. They are delicious, red and yellow. They look particularly attractive.

Xiao Xiang picked up one at random. Her hands were heavy and weighed at least one kilogram. For Nanhu crab, it was rare to weigh more than one kilogram.

Xiao Rong said with a smile, "I sent someone to ride a fast horse to collect these crabs from Nanhu overnight. The first batch of crabs to open the lake are big and fresh. Sister Xiang, have a taste."

Nanhu crab only grows in the middle and late October. It is only at this time that Nanhu crab is the most plump. Xiao Xiang likes to eat it from small to large, and Xiao Rong knows this best.

As soon as his voice fell, a maid waiting around Xiao Xiang came forward, first blessed her, then knelt down and took out a small tool specially used to deal with crabs. First, clip off the crab pliers, tilt open the crab cover, and carefully dig out the crab meat inside.

While she was handling the crab for Xiao Xiang, Xing Yuan quickly came to the maid, patted her on the shoulder, silently shook her head to one side and motioned her to step back first.

The maid looked stunned and didn't understand what she had done wrong, but she obediently retreated to the side according to Xing Yuan's meaning.

Xing Yuan succeeded her. First, he looked at the small tools she used. There were pliers, knives and hooks, all made of silver. Then he carefully checked the color of the crab meat. It was white and tender, and there was no difference. He confirmed that there was no problem with the crab and utensils. Then he skillfully took out the crab meat and sent it to Xiao Xiang's plate.

Now this period is too sensitive. Xing Yuan has to be careful. If the crab is tampered with, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Seeing this, Xiao Rong couldn't help frowning. However, he didn't show his unhappiness on his face, but said with a smile: "Mr. Xing is too cautious, don't you think I'll kill sister Xiang?"

"Young master, I'm so careless. I'm just doing my part." Xing Yuan's words were very polite, but when he spoke, he was expressionless, rigid and dull.

Looking at his look, even Xiao Xiang felt dazzling. She showed her displeasure and scolded in a low voice, "who let you come here? There are many things. Step back!"

"Princess..."

"Step back!" Said Xiao xiangshen like water.

Xing Yuan was silent for a long time. Finally, he bowed down and gave a gift and returned to Xiao Xiang's back. After he retreated, Xiao Xiang looked at Xiao Rong, smiled apologetically and said helplessly, "Mr. Xing has always been cautious, and brother Rong should not blame him."

Xiao Rong laughed and said, "how could it be? Mr. Xing is also out of loyalty. There is a lack of loyal and responsible people like Mr. Xing around me!"

Xing Yuan quickly bowed his hands and said, "I'm flattered, Mr. nine."

Xiao Xiang picked up the crab meat in the dish and ate it. Then she smiled sweetly and said, "it tastes delicious."

Xiao Rongxi said with a smile, "sister Xiang likes it."

The two of them chatted while eating. They were happy. Unconsciously, they had passed three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes. Xiao Rong put down his chopsticks and said, "now, brother Wang and brother Erwang have united together. I wonder if sister Xiang has any countermeasures?"

Xiao Xiang pretended to be at a loss and asked, "what should I do?"

Xiao Rong said, "brother Wang and brother Erwang joined hands to compete for the throne with sister Xiang. Doesn't sister Xiang know?"

Xiao Xiang smiled and said calmly, "blood is thicker than water. How can we argue between hands and feet? If brother Wang and brother Erwang really want to be king, let them do it."

In fact, how could she give up the throne to Xiao ting and Xiao Yuan? But Xiao Rong was just a child in her eyes. She didn't want Xiao Rong to see the darkest side of human nature, let alone let him participate in it.

Xiao Rong was disappointed when Xiao Xiang said this, but he soon returned to normal and asked the servant to send ginger tea with a smile. Crab is cold, ginger tea is warm, eating crab with ginger tea is also a tradition.

Soon, the waitresses brought ginger tea. Xiao Rong picked up the tea cup, saluted Xiao Xiang, and then drank up the tea in the cup.

After Xiao Xiang finished the tea in the cup, Xiao Rong said, "sister Xiang always treats me as a child. She doesn't tell me anything, hides it from me and avoids me. However, how can I know about the competition for the throne between you and brother Wang?"

Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "the less you know about some things, the better."

Hearing this, Xiao Rong frowned and stood up fiercely. His face turned red because of his emotional excitement. He shouted, "I'm not a child anymore."

Xiao Xiang was surprised and surprised when she suddenly saw Xiao Rong's gaffe. She stared at the abnormal Xiao Rong and said subconsciously, "but in my opinion, brother Rong is always my youngest brother."

Xiao Rong was stunned and then smiled, both like a bitter smile and a self mocking smile. He looked at his head and said, "I knew it was like this..."

Before his voice fell, the courtyard outside the lobby suddenly became chaotic. Xiao Xiang was shocked. She quickly turned her head and looked out to see the situation in the Chu court. Her face changed greatly.

It turned out that countless spiritual practitioners suddenly rushed out of the hospital, one by one covered with spiritual armor and holding spiritual soldiers, killing the bodyguards brought by Xiao Xiang.

But strangely, the guards Xiao Xiang brought had no power to fight back. Everyone seemed to be paralyzed and watched himself slaughtered.

"Princess, tea is poisonous..."

A bodyguard sitting paralyzed at the door of the lobby turned and shouted, but before he finished, a spiritual cultivator had rushed to him. With a flash of lightning, the bodyguard's head bounced into the air, and at the same time, blood was sprayed out.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiang couldn't help crying out. She instinctively wanted to stand up, but she suddenly found that her body couldn't make any effort.

She looked at Xiao Rong in surprise and horror and said in a trembling voice, "brother Rong, you..."

At this time, the innocence and softness on Xiao Rong's face have been swept away and replaced by distortion, tyranny and ferocity. He first chuckled and then giggled on his back. He smiled for a long time, and the others stopped laughing, Said: "sister Xiang always regards me as a child, but brother Wang and brother Erwang won't! Brother Wang promised me that as long as I can help him ascend the throne, I will be the general of the state of Sichuan, but below one person and above ten thousand people."

Xiao Xiang couldn't believe her ears when she heard the speech. Looking at Xiao Rong in front of her, she felt that she was completely looking at a stranger. Is this still the brother Rong she was familiar with? Is this still the younger brother who will jump into his arms and be coquettish and crying?

She couldn't say a word of amazement. Xing Yuan, standing behind Xiao Xiang, woke up and understood everything. He suddenly roared and darted to Xiao Xiang to protect her behind him. At the same time, he looked at Xiao Rong angrily and shouted, "Xiao Rong, how dare you murder the princess?"

Xiao Rong was stunned by what Xing Yuan said. He was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, "no, no, no, I've always loved sister Xiang best. How can I murder sister Xiang?"

After a while, he turned his head and said with a strange smile: "Mr. Xing, I respect you as a talent. Why don't you obey me? In this way, you don't have to die like those people outside."

"Fart!" Xing Yuan's eyes are red. With one hand, he holds up Xiao Xiang who can't stand up. With the other hand, he pulls out the sword under his ribs, and the sword edge points directly at Xiao Rong.

"Alas!" Xiao Rong sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "good advice is hard to persuade the damn ghost!" While talking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Pop! With the crisp sound of his pop-up, behind the screen in the lobby, outside the window and outside the door, more than a dozen practitioners rushed in and surrounded Xiao Xiang and Xing Yuan.

"Kill him, but you are not allowed to hurt my sister Xiang." Xiao Rong said softly.

At his command, the dozens of spiritual practitioners rushed to Xing Yuan with swords. When they came up, they killed them. The swords did not leave his vital point.

Under the siege of more than a dozen Lingwu experts, Xing Yuan can only let Xiao Xiang go temporarily and try his best to deal with the enemies around him.

Xing Yuan's Lingwu is outstanding. Even if it is not the top, it is also first-class. However, the practitioners who besiege him are not weak. All of them have high Lingwu and deep cultivation. In the process of fighting, Xing Yuan was forced to retreat again and again. For a short time, the two sides have fought from the lobby to the yard.

Xiao Rong ignored the fighting outside. With a smile on his face, he walked slowly to Xiao Xiang.

Looking at Xiao Rong who is slowly approaching herself, Xiao Xiang can't feel the slightest sense of closeness. What she feels is just creepy.

She said shakily, "why... Why on earth is this?" She couldn't understand why Xiao Rong did this. Among the many brothers and sisters, she and Xiao Rong were the closest.

Xiao Rong came to Xiao Xiang, squatted down slowly, approached Xiao Xiang, and said softly, "I like sister Xiang best. I like it since I was a child. That's why I don't want sister Xiang to ascend the throne. I also want to be carefree with sister Xiang as before..." as he spoke, he slowly fell down and put his face into Xiao Xiang's arms.
