Haotian, Liu Xiong, General Chen and three others sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, and wine and dishes were quickly served.

"This is the best wine I have collected. Brother, please try it!"

Liu Xiong personally poured wine for Haotian and called him brothers.

Seeing General Chen and the other three people being shocked, Liu Xiong introduced to them: "He is what I told you before, and he had saved me.

He and I became sworn brothers, and they were called Haotian!”

General Chen and the other two had just resolved their doubts, and then Liu Xiong introduced General Chen and others to Haotian to know each other.

"Brother, how have you been practicing in that demonic land in the past few years?"

Liu Xiong asked Haotian while eating.

"It's improved a lot than before! Yes, have you been doing well in the past few years?"

Haotian smiled and said. Of course, it was difficult to tell Liu Xiong about his true strength for a while, and he might not understand him even if he said it.

"I have two sons, one is five years old and the other is three years old. Another concubine is pregnant and will soon be about to give birth." Liu Xiong's face was both joyful and worried.

"Oh! So you have two sons, I want to see them."

Haotian said with a smile.

"Okay! I'll bring them to see you tomorrow."

Liu Xiong said.

"What's wrong? Is there anything unhappy?"

Haotian couldn't help asking when he saw his face was worried.

"I'll talk to you about this later.

Come, we brothers will meet again, do our best!”

After Liu Xiong said that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

Haotian ate some dishes and followed Liu Xiong, General Chen and several others to the underground secret room. Liu Xiong told him his worries.

"Brother, I have been doing well in the past few years, but after my father got seriously ill half a year ago, my life has not been so good."

"I just saw that the guards in the capital seemed very strict. Is it related to your father's illness?"

Haotian asked.

"Yeah!" Liu Xiong nodded, "Those who are all Concubine Zhao, say they are maintaining order, but in fact they are controlling the capital.

After my father got sick, Concubine Zhao took the opportunity to control the palace. Not only did she not let me see him, but she also sent people to secretly win over many people who were loyal to me.

Those who were not attracted by her were assassinated, and only General Chen and the others were still loyal to me."

"Then what are you planning now?" Haotian asked.

"Shu He advised me to give up the throne, General Chen and Minister Lin fought against me to the end.

I also feel that I can't defeat Concubine Zhao, but I am unwilling to give up. I really don't know what to do?

Brother, please give me some advice?" Liu Xiong looked at Haotian with a look of help.

Haotian pondered for a while, turned his face and asked Shangshu He: "Why did you suggest that the prince give up the throne?"

Shangshu He did not speak out, and Liu Xiong looked at him, and he said in response: "The wise should understand the way to advance and retreat. We basically cannot fight Concubine Zhao. Withdrawal is a wise move, and I am also good for the prince."

He Shangshu's expression seemed very solemn.

Haotian turned his face and asked Mr. Lin and General Chen: "Why do you think the crown prince should fight with Concubine Zhao to the end?" "Even if the crown prince gives up the throne, Concubine Zhao will not let the crown prince go. It is better to fight to the end.

And if the second prince is allowed to take the throne, the people will suffer."

Minister Lin and General Chen said in unison.

When Haotian looked at the expressions of the three of them, he knew that they had basically not taken seriously, but answered his question because he responded to the face of Prince Liu Xiong.

However, Haotian didn't care because they didn't know their abilities. They were ministers in the court, and they were just a young man without an official position. Because of their relationship with Liu Xiong, they could be in this secret room.

"Brother, what do you think I should do?" Liu Xiong asked again.

Haotian said deeply: "Mr. Lin and General Chen are right. Whether you fight for the throne or not, Concubine Zhao will not let you go. Your only way to survive is to defeat Concubine Zhao."

Minister Lin and General Chen were immediately excited and looked at Haotian differently, while Shangshu He shook his head secretly.

"Brother, do you also think I should fight with Concubine Zhao and the others to the end?" Liu Xiong asked.

"What? Are you scared?" Haotian asked back.

"Oh!" Liu Xiong sighed and lowered his head without saying a word.

Haotian said, "What are you afraid of? I will help you."

Liu Xiong raised his head, "No! I don't want to implicate you!"

Haotian smiled and said disapprovingly: "What? Don't you believe me?"

Let me tell you, I am much better now than eight years ago.”

Liu Xiong smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't believe you, but that Concubine Zhao is so powerful now."

He Shangshu couldn't help but interject, "That Concubine Zhao has become a relative of the Du family. Do you know the Du family? They are our fairy family."

"Du family?" Haotian was stunned.

Shangshu He thought Haotian was afraid of the Du family, so he said solemnly: "It's not me that even if the prince ascended the throne, it would be easy for the Du family to kill the prince."

How could that Concubine Zhao become a relative of the Du family?" Haotian asked strangely.

"Concubine Zhao's brother helped Concubine Zhao propose marriage to the Du family and welcomed a woman of the Du family of similar age."

Speaking of this, Shangshu He sighed helplessly, "Oh! Fighting with Concubine Zhao is equivalent to fighting with the Du family. It's not that I am afraid of death. It's impossible to fight them before. Fighting with the Du family is equivalent to killing him in vain. This is not a wise choice."

General Chen and Minister Lin both opposed, "Even if the throne is abandoned, Concubine Zhao will not let the crown prince go.

It is better to fight to sit and wait for death."

A cold murderous intent flew in Haotian's eyes, "Okay! The Du family and I had a grudge, so we just took this time to kill them."

"Brother, how could you have a grudge against the Du family?"

Liu Xiong asked curiously.

"Tell you this in the future. If you believe me, don't worry about fighting with Concubine Zhao. I will do my best to help you."

Although Liu Xiong was suspicious of Haotian's current strength, he was infected by the other party's confidence and because he was indeed unwilling to fail, he nodded heavily, "

OK! Since you said that, I decided to fight with Concubine Zhao.

'It's better to be broken than to be broken."

Shangshu He shook his head and sighed secretly. Although General Chen and Minister Lin did not believe that Haotian could deal with the Du family, they were also secretly grateful to him when he saw him convince the prince.

Haotian suddenly flashed and his figure passed through the wall of the secret room.

Haotian suddenly disappeared, General Chen and the other three were shocked, looking around, thinking that they were dazzled, "Crown Prince, where did that Haotian go?"

Liu Xiong shook his head. He knew that Haotian was not an ordinary person, so he didn't make a fuss, but he didn't understand why Haotian suddenly disappeared after he went there?

While everyone was wondering, the door of the secret room suddenly opened. Haotian grabbed a middle-aged man in his thirties with a long black beard on his chin and walked in, followed by three guards.

"What's wrong? Who is he?"

Liu Xiong asked in surprise.

General Chen and the other three opened their eyes wide and looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

"Hmph! He eavesdropped on our conversation in the corridor outside." Haotian snorted coldly.

Liu Xiong glared at the three guards angrily, "How did you guard? You didn't even see someone coming to eavesdrop?" The three guards were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Haotian said: "It's not their business. This person uses invisibility talismans and they basically cannot see it.

I used my spiritual sense to detect it, so there was someone outside."

Liu Xiong ordered the three guards to go out. Haotian grabbed the lifeline of the middle-aged man's left hand and stared at him like cold electricity, "Tell me! Who sent you here?"

"Let me go! If I am hurt, our Du family will not let you go."

Middle-aged intimidation and angrily.

His words are equivalent to expressing his identity.

"People from the Du family?" Everyone was shocked.

The only one at the scene, Haotian sneered: "So what about the people from the Du family? Do you think I will be afraid of you?"

"You young man is really a 'newborn calf is not afraid of tigers'. Let me tell you that our Du family is a family in the fairy world, and even the three major sects dare not provoke us easily."

Middle-aged people continue to intimidate Haotian.

"Hmph! Don't scare me with the reputation of the Du family, do you think I don't know what happened to your Du family?"

Haotian tightened his lifeline, "If I ask you, you can just answer honestly."

Although the middle-aged man was proud of himself as a member of the Du family, his lifeline was grasped in Haotian's hands, and saving his life was important, so he had to nod and agree.
