In the Xiahou Valve carriage.

Listening to Cui Yan's words that seemed to be chatting but actually expressing Cui's position, Xiahou Ba nodded skeptically and said, "You are a good plan and don't think about getting any strength out of your mind. You just want to pick peaches."

"Oh, old teacher, you can't say that. People must have self-knowledge. Our Cui family is a scholar, without a knife or a soldier, and there is no place to do anything if you want to do your best." Cui Yan smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"The place where scholars work hard is in the court, how come there is no place to use their skills?" Xia Houba looked at Cui Yan with bright eyes and said, "For example, today is the time for you, Cui, to do your work hard!"

"Oh?" Cui Yan couldn't help but laugh: "The old master did not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and you knew you wouldn't chat with me if you were fine."

"Don't say that absolutely. What I said before was my heartfelt words, not fooling you." Xiahou Ba said in a deep voice: "It's just that what I want to do next is of great importance. I have to communicate with you first, so as not to get angry with me again, and if you ruin your business, it will be unbeautiful."

"I understand. But it's time to reach Yingtian Gate. How can I cooperate with the old teacher in such a hurry?" Cui Yan said with a faint smile.

"It's very simple, shut your mouth!" A sharp light flashed in Xiahou Ba's eyes: "People who take care of you, don't make trouble for me!"

"It's that simple?" Cui Yan turned a blind eye to Xiahou Ba's threat, and still smiled calmly, "Then I will do it, what's the benefit?"

"Of course we can do it in the future, and have fun together." Xiahou Ba's smile regained his face and said, "Old guy, is it cheap enough for you?"

"Hahaha..." Cui Yan nodded with a smile and said, "The old teacher has said this. If I don't know how to praise him anymore, wouldn't I be sorry for the old teacher's kindness?"

"You are sorry for me that there are too many places!" Xiahou Ba glanced at him.

"We agreed not to settle the old debt." Cui Yan waved his hand quickly to beg for mercy.

"Okay, it doesn't count, it doesn't count." Xiahou Ba laughed out loud.

.

He smiled so happily that he even showed the carriage with excellent sound insulation and reached the ears of the officials waiting to attend court.

"Who is the old teacher talking to with so much?"

"It seems like I'm in a good mood today..."

The officials couldn't help but whisper. They had all seen Xiahouba's black and black face at the ceremony.

Although the four high-ranking princes were crowned for a while, the high-ranking prince was the first officially adult prince after all. This is a fact that even the Xiahou clan could not change.

Therefore, it was obviously His Majesty who won that game. Everyone knows that with the old master's vengeful personality, he will not give up. Therefore, they were all talking about it just now, how should the old master take action?

At this time, the carriage of Xiahouqi stopped, and the old master and Lao Lingjun walked down hand in hand. They all came to the front of the officials, and the two of them were still standing arm around, talking and laughing, and looking intimate.

"Oh, the old master and Lao Lingjun have reconciled..." The civil and military officials were shocked. They had more or less lowered their evaluation of the Xiahou Valve before, and a large reason was that Cui Valve took the initiative to keep a distance from the Xiahou Valve. More than half of the officials in the court belonged to the Shangshu Province, so they naturally valued Lao Lingjun very seriously. Naturally, they had to consider why Lao Lingjun did this. Is there any reason for not being optimistic about the Xiahou Valve?

Now, the two of them undoubtedly reconciled, and the officials naturally went all out of doubt. They said to themselves: "It seems that they are thinking too much. Lao Lingjun still supports the old teacher, but the price code has not been negotiated before...'

But I don’t know that their old Lingjun is suffering at this moment.

As soon as he got off the car, Xiahou Ba held Cui Yan's hand tightly and refused to let go, and he pinched a white mark on the back of his hand.

Cui Yan couldn't shake his hands in front of him, so he could only let Xiahou Ba hold himself like this and behave as a prop for showing the cohesion of Xiahou Valve.

‘Oh, how could the old guy just let me take advantage of me and not work hard? Let him take advantage of it too…’ Cui Yan quickly accepted his fate helplessly, and stopped breaking free. He also nodded to the officials who saluted.

.

In that room, Wei Kang poked Lu Xin and everyone rushed to Xiahou Ba and Cui Yan. The two weak sect masters seemed particularly deserted.

"Your old in-laws have been kidnapped." Wei Kang whispered.

"It's okay to give up half of it." Lu Xin replied with a smile.

"Isn't your son causing trouble? If you marry Miss Cui, how could this happen?" Wei Kang cursed with a smile.

"You should use Lao Lingjun's face. My son will not come here if he marrys her granddaughter?" Lu Xin shook his head, but he didn't believe it.

"Yes." Wei Kang couldn't help but smile: "That old fox can do anything."

"It seems that the Cui family has completely decided on the strategy, so we don't have to have any more fantasies in the future." Lu Xin sighed lightly. The most important reason he was able to tie the Xiahou Valve last time was that all officials thought that Cui Valve and Land Valve had formed an alliance. Now that the old master's hand was removed from the bottom of the pot, who could not see the direction?

"Yes, it's impossible to take advantage of the troubled waters now." Wei Kang looked at Lu Xin beside him and suddenly felt a little desolate.

.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the court meeting, officials from the Xiahou clan came out in full swing and wrote letters saying that since the four princes had already been crowned, they should be granted the title of king according to the ancestral system.

With so many people clamoring for the fight, the Emperor of the First Emperor could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to look at Xiahou's domineering: "What do the old teacher thinks?"

"Report to Your Majesty, after the prince is crowned, he should leave the palace and open a palace and be appointed as a vassal. This is the regulation of all dynasties." Xiahou Ba glanced at Lu Xin and then fixed his eyes on the original emperor and said, "In the past, for various reasons, your highness was extended for a long time. Our Secretariat had an unshirkable responsibility, so after the ceremony, our yamen immediately drafted the title of the four His Highnesses, hoping to make up for the wasted time."

After saying that, he took out the memorial from his sleeve, and without asking His Majesty to read it first, he recited in public: "I plan to confer the eldest prince as King of Shu; the second prince as King of Qin; the third prince as King of Yong; and the fourth prince as King of Zhou. I wonder what Your Majesty intends for the old minister?"

When Xiahou Ba spoke, his tiger eyes were half open and half closed, looking at the Chu Emperor as if he was staring at his prey, without any concealing his aggressive posture.

The Emperor initially expected Xiahou Ba to fight back, but he didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly, so fiercely, and so extreme! He sealed the eldest prince to Shuzhong to marginalize, but sealed his three grandsons on his territory. What did he want to do? Is he going to turn the tables with himself?

Huangfu Yu was furious and couldn't get angry. Because Xiahou Ba was obviously provoking, if he was hit, he still didn't know what tricks were waiting for him.
