Chapter 288: Snitch

Princess Xiling and Gu Qianyin also killed several monsters each, so the number of spoils for the three-person team reached a considerable number.

"Master Su Chen."

With this call, a figure suddenly walked out from the bushes beside the path.

"Miss Xueying?"

Su Chen was a little surprised to see this person, "Aren't you with the Third Prince?"

"Master Su Chen, Xueying finally found you."

Xueying said, looking around, and said straight to the point, "Xueying wants to tell you something, I hope you believe Xueying."

"What is it?"

"The Third Prince wants to take advantage of this autumn hunt to attack the First Prince. He has already learned which area the First Prince is in and has taken people to that area."

Xueying said hurriedly.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Princess Xiling beside him.

"Why are you telling me this?" Su Chen asked.

Xueying bit her lip and said, "I know, I am the Third Prince's man, and it seems a bit strange to come and tell you this. But please believe me, the Third Prince really wants to attack the First Prince, and he has not yet ascended the throne. If he ascends the throne in the future, with his coldness, how many people who have opposed him in the past will have a good end?"

"Master Su Chen, Xueying asks you, for the sake of so many innocent people, please stop the Third Prince from ascending the throne. Otherwise, many innocent people will surely suffer in the future." Xueying's eyes were full of pleading.

This time, Su Chen was really surprised.

His inquiring eyes fell on Xueying, as if he wanted to see through her.

It's not that Su Chen is suspicious, but Xueying's actions are indeed suspicious. As the Third Prince's man, she came to Su Chen to inform on him, revealing the whereabouts of the Third Prince, and asking Su Chen to stop the Third Prince from ascending the throne.

No matter how you look at it, this seems like a conspiracy against Su Chen.

However, Su Chen saw a clear and bright look in Xueying's eyes, without any sign of conspiracy at all.

Xueying was a little embarrassed by Su Chen's gaze, her snow-white cheeks blushed slightly, and she said: "If Master Su Chen thinks Xueying is lying, you can go to the valley thirty miles east to see if what Xueying said is true."

"Anyway, Xueying sincerely hopes that Master Su Chen can stop the Third Prince."

"Although this request may be a bit unreasonable, Xueying knows that Master Su Chen and the First Prince are close, so you can just think of it as saving the First Prince and go over to see, okay?"

Xueying looked into Su Chen's eyes and said softly.

"Okay, I'll go and see."

Su Chen nodded in agreement.

Xueying got Su Chen's promise, then turned around and left.

When Xueying's figure disappeared from sight, Su Chen said calmly: "What do you think?"

"Su Chen, don't be fooled by her." Gu Qianyin immediately replied, "She is the Third Prince's man. She came here to say these things. She must want to lead you to the valley she mentioned. Maybe there are people from the Third Prince lying in ambush in the valley, waiting to plot against you."

"I don't think so."

Princess Xiling shook her head, "If the Third Prince really wants to attack Master Su Chen, given his character, he will definitely go directly, instead of sending a woman to lead the way and deceive people."

Su Chen smiled and said, "You mean, the Third Prince really wants to attack the First Prince and kill his brothers?"

Princess Xiling sighed quietly: "Father's evaluation of the Third Prince is indeed correct."

"What does the Prince of Anyang think of the Third Prince?" Su Chen asked with interest. He was very curious about how the Prince of Anyang would view these princes selected by him personally.

Princess Xiling shook her head: "It's nothing more than an evaluation of ambition but little talent, a hypocritical appearance, and using any means to achieve one's goals. Now it seems that my father's vision of people is indeed very accurate."

After listening to this, Su Chen was a little surprised at first. He didn't expect that Prince Anyang would also have such an evaluation of the Third Prince. It seems that Prince Anyang knows the Third Prince very well.

But it became clear after thinking about it. If Prince Anyang didn't know the Third Prince's character, he wouldn't have hesitated to help him take the position of heir. You know, the Third Prince is the son of Prince Anyang's younger brother. In terms of blood relationship, he is much closer than the eldest prince.

If the Third Prince had a better mentality, maybe there would be no other princes in the current competition for the position of heir.

"In this case, didn't Prince Anyang already expect that the Third Prince might attack the eldest prince during this autumn hunt?" Su Chen said.

Princess Xiling sighed lightly and didn't say anything, but the expression on her face said it all.

"What is the Prince of Anyang thinking? Will he allow the princes to kill each other?" Su Chen sighed lightly. Although it was none of his business, this kind of thing was always unbearable.

Princess Xiling laughed instead: "You just mentioned the rules of the monster world, and you know that only one baby can survive in a litter. Why are you not used to it when it comes to humans? The survival rules of the royal family are only more cruel than those of the monster world."

Su Chen smiled and said that was true.

The fact that the Prince of Anyang County allowed several princes to compete with each other is actually a kind of jungle law. The one who survives in the end can win.

Only in this way can the person who is most suitable to be the next prince be selected.

If a prince dies in such a small competition, it can only mean that he is not capable enough and has insufficient luck, and is not suitable to be the next prince. Even if he is barely helped to take the position, he will definitely not go far, let alone strengthen the strength of Anyang County.

It's not that Su Chen doesn't understand these things, but he was used to being a high-ranking emperor of the Dan Dao in his previous life, and he looks at things from a different perspective than ordinary people.

In Su Chen's view, the royal family must pay attention to competition, but it must not pay attention to competition blindly. The character of the heir is still very important.

Otherwise, as Xueying said, if the Third Prince takes the throne, those who have opposed the Third Prince in the past will be in trouble. Then how much meaning will it have to choose such an heir?

Thinking of this, Su Chen said to the two girls: "Let's go to that valley."

Princess Xiling smiled slightly and said: "Why, do you still want to help my brother?"

"Even if it has nothing to do with the eldest prince, one of my men is with the eldest prince now, and I must save him."

Su Chen said, looking at Princess Xiling, "Speaking of which, you stopped me from teaming up with the eldest prince before. Could it be that in your heart, you don't want the eldest prince to take the throne, but want the Third Prince to take the throne?"
