Chapter 299 Sensational News

"Hmm? What happened?" The old man was not calm when he heard the news, and his eyebrows were raised.

The eldest prince quickly and briefly told what happened in the hunting ground, including how the third prince failed to plot against him, but eventually died in the sea of ​​ice and fire.

After listening to this, the old man was speechless for a while, and said after a while: "This matter, this old servant will report to the prince."

If the third prince attacked the eldest prince, if this matter is true, then even if the third prince is not dead, he will not be able to get the throne.

The eldest prince nodded and said nothing more. Anyway, with Princess Xiling as a witness for him, he didn't have to worry that the Prince of Anyang would not believe him.

Of course, without the third prince, the spoils of war brought out by the eldest prince's team were undoubtedly the most among the teams present, becoming the well-deserved first.

Next, it was the turn of Su Chen, Gu Qianyin and Princess Xiling to hand in the spoils for inspection.

However, when the old man came towards the three people, Princess Xiling spoke unexpectedly, and said softly: "Uncle Zhong, we were just sightseeing in the hunting ground, but we didn't catch any prey. We can't hand in anything decent."

"Then, Princess, you don't have to hand it in."

The old man nodded without any doubt and waved to let the three people pass.

Until the three people walked out of the hunting ground, Gu Qianyin couldn't believe that Princess Xiling's words actually saved them from handing in half of the prey.

You know, for their team, half of the prey is not a small amount, because they killed a third-level Silver Moon Beast in the Transformation Realm, and its horn and heart are very valuable.

Not to mention the Silver Moon Beast cub that Gu Qianyin carried with him, that kind of newly born cub is difficult to catch and is even more priceless.

Until Princess Xiling playfully winked at Gu Qianyin and smiled slightly, "It was a close call. The young Silver Moon Beast was almost taken away by someone."

Gu Qianyin finally reacted, and the two women looked at each other and laughed.

"Let's go. The aftermath of this autumn hunt may last for a while, but those ups and downs have nothing to do with us."

Su Chen and Gu Qianyin said goodbye to Princess Xiling and then set off to return to Anyang College.

...

Three days later, a big news that shocked the whole city came out of the Anyang County Prince's Mansion.

The once powerful Third Prince was officially announced to have died accidentally during the autumn hunt.

Afterwards, the Anyang County Prince personally ordered that the eldest prince be canonized as the heir to the throne!

From now on, all the ups and downs about the struggle for the throne have become history.

Of course, the death of the Third Prince also triggered many speculations, among which the most rampant speculation was that the death of the Third Prince was entirely a conspiracy of the eldest prince and was secretly murdered by the eldest prince.

Of course, this speculation has no actual basis at all, and can only become some rumors in the market.

In contrast, those families and forces that used to support the Third Prince are now busy distancing themselves from the Third Prince.

Fortunately, the First Prince is a kind-hearted person, and did not actually clean up these families and forces that once depended on the Third Prince. He just gave them a beating and that was it.

However, the fact that the First Prince did not take any action does not mean that these people will be safe and sound. Gradually, people discovered that the families and forces that once supported the Third Prince had accidents one after another, either the head of the family died tragically, or the family industry suffered a fatal blow, or they were threatened by their former enemies and had to leave Anyang City to avoid disaster.

In just a few days, everyone was surprised to find that the families that once clearly supported the Third Prince and jumped the most fiercely in the battle for the throne had all withdrawn from the stage of Anyang City sadly.

It is really hard to believe that this is a coincidence, but it is more like an invisible big hand, behind the scenes, purging the families and forces that once supported the Third Prince.

In Anyang College, although the ups and downs of the outside world have nothing to do with Su Chen, all of this has reached Su Chen's ears.

Others may not know who is the person who is purging the Third Prince's forces behind the scenes, but Su Chen, who is experienced, immediately guessed that the person who is purging the Third Prince's forces behind the scenes must be the Prince of Anyang himself.

The reason for purging the Third Prince's forces is to pave the way for the First Prince.

Because since the First Prince has been appointed as the heir, all these opposing forces are unnecessary to exist, and naturally they must be purged, so as not to affect the First Prince's rule after he succeeds to the throne in the future.

It must be said that Su Chen is a little curious about this Prince of Anyang, whom he has never met. The other party can let several princes fight to the death before the heir is selected, but after the heir is selected, he can pave the way for him with such a vigorous means.

It can only be said that the reason why the Prince of Anyang did not intervene in the fight between the princes was because he had not yet made a final decision on who to choose as the heir. And this autumn hunt was probably one of the ways for the Prince of Anyang to examine the princes.

In other words, the Prince of Anyang was raising a "gu" and letting the princes fight each other. The one who survived in the end must be the most suitable candidate for the throne. Because he either has the strength to defy the heavens or the luck to defy the heavens, and both of these are important qualities required of the heir to the throne.

In the end, the "gu" that survived was the eldest prince. The third prince had died, and the other princes were not strong enough to compete with the eldest prince. Therefore, the Prince of Anyang finally decided to choose the eldest prince as the heir to the throne.

And since the eldest prince has been selected as the heir to the throne, he can no longer ignore it as before, but must remove all the stumbling blocks on the eldest prince's path to the throne, so as to ensure that the eldest prince will rule for a long time in the future.

From this perspective, Su Chen still admires the courage of the Prince of Anyang. He will ignore it when he should, but once he really manages it, his vigorous and resolute means are also chilling.

Speaking of which, Xueying, who used to be by the Third Prince's side, escaped the disaster, was not questioned, and did not suffer any misfortune, and lived a peaceful life.

This incident also caused speculation among some people in Anyang City. Some people with good intentions said that Xueying had climbed up the ladder and climbed up to Su Chen before the Third Prince fell, so she was able to escape the disaster.

However, all these discussions can only be speculations after all.

Since the end of the autumn hunt, Su Chen has also completely consolidated the ice heart and fire marrow in his dantian in the past few days.

Now he only needs to wait for the breakthrough to the transformation realm, and the ice heart and fire marrow will begin to play a role, transforming the true essence sea into the ice and fire true essence sea.

When Su Chen had some time, he sorted out the various things on his body.

He still had more than 100,000 taels of silver, but Su Chen now knew that silver was always not enough when it was really needed.
