He successfully escaped and returned to Tianchen Residence. When Xiao Chen and his party returned to Tianchen Residence, Xiao, who was wearing a long emerald green dress, threw himself into Xiao Chen's arms as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother, you're fine."
Although it was only a short night, Xiao was terribly worried. Seeing Xiao Chen's safe return at this time, the little girl's heart was completely relieved.
Patting Xiao's back lightly, Xiao Chen said with a smile, "I'm still crying at how old I am, brother, isn't it all right?"
He comforted Xiao in a soft voice, and then Xiao Chen bowed his hands and thanked everyone in Tianchenju. If everyone hadn't made a concerted effort last night, it would have been impossible for him to kill the fifth prince.
After some thanks, Xiao Chen brought Chu Wuming to the courtyard where he lived. In the study, Xiao obediently made tea for the two of them, then got up and left.
Xiao was not stupid, on the contrary she was very smart, knowing that Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming had something to say, so she consciously chose to leave.
After Xiao left, only Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming were left in the study room. Looking at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming said, "Brother Xiao Chen, now you can tell me where you want me to leave the imperial capital. Bar?"
Xiao Chen had said before that if Chu Wuming wanted to get the crown prince, the only way was to leave the imperial capital voluntarily. At this time, facing Chu Wuming's inquiry, Xiao Chen did not hide any more.
First of all, Xiao Chen told Chu Wuming where he should go after leaving the imperial capital.
"Hulao Pass." Looking at Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen said indifferently.
Hearing the word Hulaoguan, Chu Wuming was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a puzzled expression, "Brother Xiao wants me to go to Hulaoguan? It's a border, and it borders the Heavenly Wolf Empire. There have been years of wars. Brother Xiao What do you want me to do there?"
I can't figure out why Xiao Chen would let himself go to Hulao Pass. As we all know, there are three kingdoms and two sects in Danyang County where the Moonless Empire is located. It is called the Three Kingdoms, and Tianqizong and Qingyangzong are also called two sects.
These five major forces completely control the lifeblood of the entire Danyang County, and among them, the three empires have been fighting for various reasons year after year, especially places like Hulao Pass, which are located at the junction of the two empires. , but also the battlefield of the two countries.
It can be said that Hulao Pass is a place where there is no oil and water, only war. In Hulao Pass, war is the absolute main color, and Xiao Chen asked him to go to Hulao Pass. Chu Wuming didn't understand Xiao Chen's intention at all.
Filled with doubts, upon seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"Your Highness only saw endless wars in Hulao Pass, but let me ask His Highness, what else is there in Hulao Pass besides wars?"
"What else is there other than Zhan Luan? This..." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming thought about it secretly, but after a while, Chu Wuming shook his head helplessly. In Hulao Pass, apart from Zhan Luan, Chu Wuming really couldn't think of anything else.
Seeing Chu Wuming shaking his head, Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Hulao Pass has been at war for years, so, does His Highness know how many troops the empire has deployed to guard Hulao Pass?"
"I know this. There are a total of four armies around Hulao Pass, and the total number of them is as many as one million."
"Since His Highness knows, I don't know if His Highness has heard a sentence. Since ancient times, only those who have soldiers have the right to speak in power struggles. Now His Highness and other three brothers have only three major camps such as Zhanlongying. The number of military power is only two thousand, but if His Highness can have the military power of millions of troops, what does His Highness think?"
As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, Chu Wuming was stunned immediately, since he had already said it so clearly, Chu Wuming naturally understood what Xiao Chen meant.
In Xiao Chen's view, instead of staying in the imperial capital and fighting with Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang, it is better to go directly to Hulao Pass and firmly control the millions of troops there.
With the military power in hand, the weight of words will naturally be more important. Think about it, with a million troops as the backing, who else can compete with Chu Wuming for the crown prince?
After understanding Xiao Chen's meaning, Chu Wuming fell into silence. Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't urge him. It took a full half a minute before Chu Wuming came back to his senses, and looked at Xiao Chen and asked a question without a clue.
"Brother Xiao Chen's words are good, but will Father allow me to take over the military power of Hulao Pass?"
Chu Wuming thought that Xiao Chen wanted Chu Mu to order Chu Mu to take over the army at Hulaoguan. If so, it would be impossible. How could Chu Mu let Chu Wuming control an army of millions so easily? Woolen cloth.
Smiling and shaking his head, Xiao Chen replied.
"It is naturally impossible for His Majesty to issue an order, and His Highness does not need to do so. What I mean by control is not just to control the command of these four armies, but to let these four armies belong to His Highness." Under his command, let them only be loyal to His Highness alone. Of course, this is only the first step. Xiao Chen has other plans next, but everything still needs to go to Hulao Pass, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Only then can you truly let go of your hands and feet.”
In the imperial capital, no matter how much Chu Wuming hops, it is impossible to make any big achievements. Although the competition for the crown prince can be said to be intensified, but to put it bluntly, everything is still under Chu Mu's control. As long as Chu Mu is still there, So no matter how Chu Wuming and the three fought for the position of crown prince, in the end it was still a matter of Chu Mu's words.
Chu Wuming and the others didn't see through this point, but Xiao Chen knew it, so he proposed to let Chu Wuming leave the imperial capital. It seemed that he had withdrawn from the battle for the crown prince, but in fact he was advancing by retreating.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming gradually showed a surprised expression. Xiao Chen not only wants to lock up the command of the million-dollar army, but wants to completely pocket the million-strong army. To put it bluntly, Xiao Chen wanted to turn all the millions of troops into Chu Wuming's private army, and only loyal to Chu Wuming.

Secretly seeking military power is almost the same as rebellion. However, if he can really get the loyalty of the millions of troops, Chu Wuming has no doubt that the position of the prince is just a matter of his own words. Chu Mu couldn't refuse, because he had millions of troops under his command.
"Brother Xiao Chen, do you want to help me get the crown prince by doing this, or do you want me to ascend the throne directly?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming said in a daze.
"Hehe, Your Highness is worrying too much. What you want is His Highness's business. Xiao Chen is only responsible for removing obstacles for His Highness." Hearing what Chu Wuming said, Xiao Chen replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Wuming was silent for a while, then got up and said, "I'm going to the palace to meet with the emperor, and discuss going to Hulaoguan."
