Chapter 1308 Undercurrents and Doubts (34)
In the royal family, how could a prince survive within that ruthless high wall if he didn't have a little bit of government and scheming?
Even if he could survive, he would probably be restricted everywhere, being ignored by other princes, and devouring all his resources.
The Ninth Prince was the youngest and the weakest in power, but he was able to stand out from the rest of the princes and was given high hopes by the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty to be crowned Crown Prince. This speaks volumes about the Ninth Prince's abilities.
At this moment, in the small courtyard.
After Xiao Hei and the others left, Mr. Lin finally couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?! There are only two or three of them who are strong enough. The rest are just cannon fodder. How can they take on this responsibility?" Important task?"
"Mr. Lin, before preparations are made, I am not the prince."
Mr. Lin immediately bowed and said: "In my opinion, the prince is the prince."
The Ninth Prince chuckled and pointed at Mr. Lin, "You..."
"However, how do you know that the others are cannon fodder?" The Ninth Prince's eyes that could penetrate people's hearts slightly narrowed, and he said calmly: "Not to mention that adding more people will only make it more dangerous, and they can take on this task. Naturally, I don’t think that I can just rely on the two half-step ancestral realm disciples to get around.”
Mr. Lin was surprised and said: "This...could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince saw that they were hiding their strength?"
"No." The Ninth Prince shook his head and said: "It just looks a little strange. Maple Leaf seems to take good care of those who have not reached the God Emperor realm, and even sometimes they are the main ones. This can be seen from the position. It can be seen that Maple Leaf is half a step behind the dark-skinned physique."
"Cheng Dahai looked at those people with hostility in his eyes. They must have come to snatch the rewards for completing the mission. However, there must be something extraordinary about being able to have a direct disciple like Cheng Dahai value them so much."
"Although I can't see their strength, and there may be nothing special about them, I'm still willing to take a gamble."
Mr. Lin smiled bitterly: "You are about to be crowned a prince. Isn't the stake a bit too high?"
"The worst thing I can do is give my life to them." The Ninth Prince smiled lightly: "Although I cherish my life, as a prince, if I cherish my life too much and tie my hands, nothing will be achieved."
"Compared to losing my life, I am more afraid of spending this life doing nothing..."
Having said this, the Ninth Prince glanced at Mr. Lin, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Are you right, Mr. Lin?"
Elder Lin's face was solemn, he cupped his fists and said, "I will definitely let His Highness the Ninth Prince reach the top!"
…
Kowloon City remains prosperous.
It's just that countless people walked on the street in silence, almost no one spoke, and their faces were full of uneasiness.
Seemingly prosperous, it actually fell into a state of silent fear.
Red Dragon Courtyard, the residence of the third prince.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince has decided to set off in three days." Having said this, the subordinate took out a parchment scroll and handed it to the Third Prince, "This is the Ninth Prince's route map back to the city."
The third prince's face was full of femininity. Without his reminding, the two maids around him took out fragrant powder and sprinkled it on the scroll.
The third prince then gently picked up the scroll and said while reading: "What is the attitude of the fifth emperor brother and the eldest brother?"
The subordinate responded: "Third Prince, their people have also gathered."
The third prince smiled and said, "Okay, make two copies of this map and send them to them respectively."
…
Zhulong Courtyard, the residence of the eldest prince.
After receiving the information, the eldest prince stopped wiping the bright silver gun in his hand, stood up and sneered: "Xiaojiu, you are too immature. It is better for me to take the position of prince."
"The Candle Dragon Army obeys the order! Get ready to go!"
…
Three days flew by.
Outside the gate of Qinglong City, the Ninth Prince and his entourage and Xiao Hei's group gathered here.
Why not just let the strong man fly back with him? We still have to travel from the ground through World of Warcraft. Doesn't it take four more days?
According to the Ninth Prince, there are strong people on our side, but not on the other side?
Every prince has the existence of a strong protector. When the time comes, let Mr. Lin take him directly to Kowloon City. If the opponent's strong man intercepts him, he will still be forced to the ground, and that side of the ground may be the dragnet set by the opposite side. , then there will really be no chance of escape.
What's more, if he leaves first, where will his group of personal guards be?
If all the personal guards are killed, hundreds of civil and military officials will inevitably question his ability, which will become an obstacle to canonizing the emperor!
When the time comes when those royal brothers and sisters exert their influence, it is very likely that the canonization of the crown prince will be disrupted.
Of course, Mu Fusheng found it impossible to spend more time advancing in the way of a large army just for these reasons.
There are too many routes that can be chosen, and there are too many ways to return to Kowloon City. It is impossible that the Ninth Prince, who is very scheming in the city, has not thought of a more efficient and safer way.
Mu Fusheng himself could come up with more than a dozen ways.
Unless...the Ninth Prince has other purposes.
However, now the Ninth Prince has sat in a simple cabin on the back of a huge tiger-shaped monster, and shielding formations and defensive formations have been set up around the cabin.
It can be said that even the strong ones in the ancestral realm cannot spy on the situation.
Mu Fusheng glanced at the wooden house, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
As Mr. Lin stood on the tiger's head and gave the order, the army moved towards the established route.
"I always feel something is wrong." Ye Qiubai, who was walking on the flank, suddenly frowned.
Xiao Heishisheng Fang Qiong was slightly stunned.
Fengye looked directly in the direction of Cheng Dahai. In front of the left, Cheng Dahai and Yucheng were moving forward.
Cheng Dahai seemed to have noticed Fengye's gaze, and he turned his head and nodded to Fengye with a smile.
Fengye snorted coldly, retracted his gaze and said, "Cheng Dahai didn't leave either."
Ye Qiubai shook his head and said, "It's not because of Cheng Dahai... Have all the arrangements been made before?"
During these three days, Fang Qiong and Mu Fusheng laid talismans and formations at the locations they needed to pass on the map, so that they could monitor the movements of everyone in that area in advance.
Fang Qiong shook his head and said, "No abnormality has been found yet."
Mu Fusheng nodded, then looked at Ye Qiubai and said, "I also feel something is wrong, there are too many strange places."
Feng Ye spread his hands and said, "Okay, our mission is just to escort, don't worry too much about other things, fight if someone comes, and if no one comes, go to Jiulong City to celebrate safely. During this period, just pay attention to Cheng Dahai's sabotage."
But just as Feng Ye finished speaking, the voice of the Ninth Prince suddenly came from the cabin.
"Turn around and continue to move northwest."
Hearing this, all the soldiers were puzzled, and Mu Fusheng and others also frowned slightly.
Is this to prevent a traitor from leaking the information?
Mu Fusheng's face was solemn.
However, based on his first impression of the Ninth Prince, this matter might not be that simple.
