Chapter 697: Arrogant
A wonderful celebration banquet ended in a quarrel because of Prince Ping's family affairs.
However, everyone was not disappointed. On the contrary, they were very excited. As soon as the emperor called Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang away, everyone gathered in groups of three or four and left the palace while discussing.
"Xiao Yeyang said he wanted to be adopted out. Is this true or false?"
"Really? After all, Prince Ping has been partial to Ma and her son for a long time."
"That's the title of a prince. I don't believe Xiao Yeyang has no idea about it."
"What's the point of him having ideas? Prince Ping doesn't want everything to be a one-size-fits-all."
"If you ask me, Prince Ping is quite cruel. His son has been away for many years, and he causes trouble as soon as he returns. It's no wonder that Xiao Yeyang is so angry that he wants to adopt him out."
"As a son, he embarrassed his father in public. No matter what the reason is, it's Xiao Yeyang's fault. Why can't we discuss it privately? Why did we have to make such an ugly scene?"
"You're still young and full of energy. After achieving a little success, you become arrogant and conceited."
"Haha, Xiao Yeyang's arrogant temper isn't due to any achievements, he's been like this since he was a child."
"Fortunately, I thought Xiao Yeyang had changed before. Now it seems that his abilities have improved a bit, but his personality remains the same."
Several princes and Xiao Yechen lagged behind a few steps, listening to the intermittent discussions floating in the air, with different expressions.
The Third Prince laughed. "Xiao Yeyang is still Xiao Yeyang. As soon as he returned to the capital, he provided everyone with such a bombshell topic. Recently, people in the capital have no worries about running out of things to talk about."
The eldest prince and others did not respond, only the fifth prince glanced at the silent Xiao Yechen, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Yeyang walked out of the hall with Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.
When everyone saw that Prince Ping did not come out, they knew that the emperor had kept him there for a talk.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang walking towards him with an expressionless face, the third prince's eyes flashed and he quickly glanced at Xiao Yechen.
Xiao Yechen glanced at the vague gazes directed towards them, and after a moment's hesitation, he said as Xiao Yeyang approached, "Second brother, no matter how many misunderstandings there are between you and me, you shouldn't have mentioned the adoption in public in front of our father. Isn't that too unfilial of you to do so?"
"call out!"
A token passed through everyone's sight, and then, in everyone's stunned gaze, Xiao Yechen flew backwards for nearly ten meters before falling to the ground.
Ignoring the surprised looks around him, Xiao Yeyang slowly walked up to Xiao Yechen, who was still struggling on the ground, and looked down at him with contempt.
"Who do you think you are to control me?"
Seeing Xiao Yechen's eyes full of disbelief, Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Why, you didn't expect it? Don't you just want to annoy me?"
As he spoke, his face showed sarcasm.
"When we were little, you often used such despicable means to provoke me. After all these years, you really haven't changed at all. However, I am no longer the same person I was back then."
"Xiao Yechen"
Xiao Yeyang took another step forward, and at this moment, a figure rushed over quickly and stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Yeyang.
When Yan Wentao saw this, he quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the man.
Looking at the arm lying in front of him, Luo Honghao frowned. He wanted to test the martial arts of the new pacification envoy of Jinling Guard, so he fought back.
Neither of them dared to go too far. After a few moves, they each punched the other.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two men's fists collided violently. Yan Wentao stood still as a mountain, but Luo Honghao couldn't help but took half a step back.
Seeing this scene, the people watching around were shocked.
Many people looked at Yan Wentao differently, with a little more solemnity in their eyes than before.
You have to know that Luo Honghao is the commander of the Beijing Guards. His father, Duke Wei, hired a famous teacher for him when he was very young. His martial arts skills are definitely among the best in the capital.
The expressions of several princes also changed suddenly. They seemed to have underestimated the abilities of Xiao Yeyang and the other two.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Luo Honghao, then continued to look at Xiao Yechen: "Xiao Yechen, don't show up in front of me in the future. Don't think that your biological mother's scandal of having a child out of wedlock can be covered up now that she has been promoted to the legal wife, and that you, a concubine's son, have the right to shout in front of me."
"You can disgust me all you want, but I want to see who's more eloquent, your tongue or my fist!"
As he spoke, he leaned forward under Xiao Yechen's resentful gaze and whispered, "Don't covet the title of Prince Ping's Mansion. Even if I don't want it, it won't be yours."
After saying that, he picked up the token he had just thrown out to hit someone, and without looking at Xiao Yechen again, he turned and walked towards Yan Wentao and Luo Honghao who were still in confrontation.
Xiao Yeyang walked up to the two of them, reached out and held Luo Honghao's wrist, then with a slight smile on his face, he slowly put Luo Honghao's hand down.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded again.
Even Wei Qi and Wu Jingyi, who were standing in the hall and watching this side, raised their eyebrows.
Wu Jingyi: "The martial arts of these three guys have improved a lot."
Even if Luo Honghao fought with him, he could have fought dozens of rounds, but now he was suppressed so easily by Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao.
Wei Qi didn't say anything, but he was even more convinced of the effect of the Eight Meridians Pill.
Wu Jingyi continued, "What on earth does Xiao Yeyang want to do? Why is he so arrogant right after returning?"
Wei Qi glanced at Wu Jingyi and asked, "Isn't it because he has an impulsive temper?"
Wu Jingyi rolled his eyes. "How could such an impulsive person wipe out the Eight Princes' secret guards? How could he quietly bypass the Tatar Imperial Court and cut off the Tatar royal family's retreat? How could he make the arrogant Jinling Guards submit to him willingly? You don't know that in the Northern Frontier, even the soldiers in the army are in awe of him."
"This kid must be up to something bad."
Wei Qi frowned, "What good will it do to contradict Prince Ping in public, other than further damaging his reputation and further distance himself from the position of Crown Prince?"
Wu Jingyi narrowed his eyes, watching the officials in the square involuntarily avoid Xiao Yeyang as he passed by, and said quietly, "Maybe he just wants a bad reputation."
There's a saying that goes, "A shameless person is invincible." Maybe this kid is planning this. He doesn't even care about his reputation, so who can do anything to him?
On this side, Xiao Yeyang took Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai out of the palace.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Yan Wentao: "Are you okay?"
Yan Wentao stretched his arms and smiled faintly, "That man's internal strength was quite good, but if he really tried his best, he might not be my opponent."
Xiao Yeyang smiled: "That man is the prince of the Duke of Wei's mansion, named Luo Honghao, and he is the commander of the Beijing Guards."
Yan Wenkai was puzzled: "Why would that guy jump out and meddle in other people's business?"
Xiao Yeyang sneered, "Xiao Yechen is his brother-in-law. How could he, as his eldest uncle, sit idly by and watch his brother-in-law being beaten?"
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai looked surprised.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the two of them and said, "Now that we've entered the capital, there are many people watching us. You should be more careful about some things and don't let anyone plot against you. Although there are no open attacks like in the Northern Frontier, there are hidden arrows everywhere."
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai both nodded solemnly.
Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, you haven't seen your family for a long time, go back quickly. I will visit you when Yiyi arrives."
Yan Wentao: "What about you?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own place to go."
