imperial capital.
The Palace of the Three Princes.
The third prince held an exquisite longbow in his hand, and at the moment he was bending the bow and shooting an arrow, aiming at the target on a peak in the forest in the eastern suburbs outside the imperial capital.
call out
An arrow shot from the imperial capital, swept across the sky as fast as lightning, and hit the target with unparalleled precision.
At this time.
"Good archery." Huo Lao hurried to the side of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, first praised, and then said to His Royal Highness: "His Royal Highness, there is news from the city gate that it is Lin Bai and other ten Taiyi Road. If the realm warriors have arrived in the imperial capital, at this moment, His Royal Highness Chen Wang is hosting a banquet in the palace."
The third prince "Lin Bai" shrank his eyes with hatred in his eyes, and snorted coldly, "This Lin Bai has done bad things to me over and over again, if it wasn't for him trying to help His Royal Highness King Chen, how could King Chen return to the imperial capital in just a few short hours. In just a few years, he has such a high status in front of Emperor Chu!"
"The battle of the Blood God Sect in Kezhou was originally a battle that ruined His Highness Chen Wang's reputation, but he did not expect that Lin Bai would actually find the old nest of the Blood God Sect, allowing His Royal Highness Chen Wang to destroy the Blood God Sect very smoothly and let Chen Wang In an instant, the king stood firm in the imperial capital."
"He has persuaded Tianshui Sect to be loyal to His Royal Highness King Chen. Although Tianshui Sect is already declining, the dead camel is bigger than a horse. If Tianshui Sect is determined to support His Royal Highness Chen, it will definitely become my strong enemy."
"I heard that after Tianshui Sect defeated Tiandimen, it almost started a strategy called 'Rebirth Plan'.
"It seems that Tianshui Sect is planning to prepare for the next battle."
Recently, in the territory of Chu State, there is no doubt that Tianshui Sect is in the limelight.
In the bloody battle of Shuijinghai for half a month, the warriors of Chu State thought that Tiandimen would definitely succeed, but they did not expect that after the bloody battle for half a month, Tiandimen would be defeated and fled, which is really embarrassing.
Huo Lao said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, there is another reason. Tianshui Sect believes that supporting His Royal Highness Chen Wang this time will be a chance for Tianshui Sect to rise, so they will make a desperate bet to match the sect's luck with His Royal Highness Chen Wang's. The luck is tied together, there is no gap between the two, one is prosperous, and one is lost!"
The third prince frowned, sighed, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Elder Huo, we are very passive now."
"Above the court, Emperor Chu's attitude is ambiguous, and it seems that he is a little reluctant to pursue the matter of the Twelve Princes."
"I mentioned it in front of my father yesterday, but I clearly felt that my father didn't seem to want to mention it!"
"Now that the orphan of the Twelfth Prince in our hands is not very important."
The third prince clearly felt that his birthday was approaching, and Emperor Chu was also fully supporting His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
If it were changed to the past, Emperor Chu would definitely be angered by thunder, and he would wipe out all the warriors who were related to the Twelve Princes.
And this time.
Emperor Chu doesn't seem to be so determined anymore, and he doesn't even want to pursue the matter.
The third prince has repeatedly mentioned the matter of the orphan of the twelfth prince in the court over the past few days. He wanted to arouse the anger of Emperor Chu and implicate His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
But every time he mentioned it, Emperor Chu closed his eyes, as if he hadn't heard it.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince knew that he could not continue talking, otherwise, it would be very likely to backfire.
Huo Lao chuckled and said: "It's not that His Majesty Chu Emperor does not want to pursue the matter of the Twelve Princes, but now His Majesty Emperor Chu wants to support His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and don't let His Highness Chen Wang be implicated in other matters."
"But now His Majesty Emperor Chu favors His Highness King Chen. As long as His Highness King Chen loses his favor in front of Emperor Chu, then the old and new hatreds will have to be settled together."
The third prince said softly, "Old Huo is easy to say, how can I make His Royal Highness Chen Wang lose his favor?"
"Now, His Royal Highness Chen Wang's favor in front of His Majesty Emperor Chu has almost surpassed me."
"Even the eldest prince and the second prince of the year did not receive as much favor as what His Royal Highness Chen Wang received today."
"These days, Emperor Chu has given a small reward every three days, and a large reward every five days. The rare treasures sent to the Chen Wangfu may not even be able to hold the treasure house of the Chen Wangfu."
The third prince shook his head again and again, feeling that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him.
Huo Lao said: "Actually, Your Highness, don't worry, there is a heaven-sent opportunity now, not only can His Highness Chen Wang be lost in front of His Majesty, but also let His Highness the Third Prince continue to plump his wings."
The third prince frowned slightly and asked, "What God-given opportunity?"
Huo Lao said: "Didn't His Majesty the Emperor of Chu ask His Highness King Chen to support the security of the imperial capital during the birthday? If the imperial capital is in chaos again and again at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu will surely punish His Highness King Chen."
"If only a few little people died, it wouldn't matter."
"But if there are saints and saints from big sects and big families falling, then this matter will be very big."
"For example, if Lin Bai died in the imperial capital, with the water sect valued Lin Bai today, would your Highness think that the Tianshui sect would give up? Under the emperor's rage, the first person to blame is His Royal Highness Chen Wang, because he is in charge of the security in the imperial capital."
The third prince narrowed his eyes, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth: "Elder Huo, continue talking."
Huo Lao responded and continued: "If the imperial capital continues to be in chaos, and there will continue to be the fall of the holy son and the holy daughter of the great sect family, the greater the disturbance, the more sins His Highness Chen Wang will have!"
"At that time, when Emperor Chu convicts King Chen, His Highness only needs to stand up and take over the security of the imperial capital, and then we will find a way to find out the murderer and give them an explanation."
"Those sects and families who have died of the Son and Daughter, seeing that His Highness found the beast for them, will definitely be grateful to His Highness, and maybe even help His Highness to ascend to the throne secretly."
The smile on the corner of the third prince's mouth gradually grew stronger.
can follow.
The third prince frowned again and said: "The holy son of the big family and the big sect, how easy is it to die? And those holy sons and daughters are guarded by the powerhouses in the realm of Taiyi Daoguo, and even some sects are even more powerful. We dispatched Daluo Daoguo realm warriors to protect Saint Son and Saint Daughter."
"How difficult is it to kill them? And it is even more difficult to kill them under the eyes of Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors and Daluo Daoguo realm warriors."
Huo Lao smiled lightly and said, "Look for opportunities slowly. There are still two years left for Emperor Chu's birthday, and there will be opportunities eventually."
The third prince took a deep breath, with a sly look in his eyes: "Old Huo, if this happens, His Royal Highness Chen Wang will be severely punished by His Majesty, and he will definitely lose the position of the Crown Prince. After my birthday, I will be enthroned as emperor. At that time, I will take Mr. Huo as the teacher and the emperor as the teacher!"
Huo Laoyi heard this, his face was full of joy, he fell to the ground, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness."
