Chapter 664: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

In addition to the four of them, representatives of the supporters behind them also came here.

A dozen people gathered in a spacious and luxurious underground secret room.

"Recently, that boy has been visiting the palace frequently. According to the news we have received, His Majesty and King Zhenbei are getting better and better towards that boy."

"Hmph, I'm afraid Your Majesty has already decided to put that guy in charge. Otherwise, why would someone bring Long Chu to pick him up every time?"

In the luxurious underground secret room, you and I talked about various recent news about Lu Fan.

And these news also made everyone present look even more ugly.

They have all made their choices, and there is no way to rejoin the team. The only way is to fight to the end to let the person they support come to power.

Even if the person he supports cannot take the position, he must not let Lu Fan take the position.

After all, they had no interaction with Lu Fan, and Lu Fan must have known about their side.

Once Lu Fan takes over, they will definitely have nothing to gain.

If the situation was better, Lu Fan might let them disarm and return to their fields to save their lives.

If the situation goes badly, all of them may lose their lives.

After all, now they all know clearly that Lu Fan is definitely not a weak person, but a decisive and ruthless person.

Just because the young masters of the four major families provoked him, all four major families were destroyed. No one was left alive, and they were all killed.

It was precisely because Lu Fan was too strong and decisive that they felt deeply uneasy.

For them, it was like a bolt from the blue for such a tough and decisive person to ascend the throne.

Before, they were thinking about opposing each other.

But the current situation forced them to work together to think of ways to deal with it.

Seeing everyone making noise, I couldn't think of any useful solution.

Ning Wang Lu Jin's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He slapped the table and said coldly: "That's enough!"

After everyone was quiet, he continued to say in a cold voice: "What's the use of making noise here? If we continue like this, then we will wait for him to take over and kill us all."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

At this time, Yu Wang Lu Heng, Qi Wang Lu Lin and Wei Wang Lu Chen, whose faces were equally ugly, also nodded and said:

"Yes, there is no use in making noise at the moment. We have to find a solution."

At this time, Lu Jin took a deep breath, looked at the white-haired old man sitting on his left, and asked sincerely:

"Mr. Zhao, do you have any good ideas?"

The old Zhao in front of him is named Zhao Fangde. He has a very high status. He served as the right minister when he took office as Emperor Qian.

Later, after the new emperor Qian Lu Zheng came to power, he resigned and retired to the imperial capital.

More than ten years ago, Emperor Qian invited this person to come out again, hoping that he would continue to serve as the right prime minister.

But this guy refused.

In the end, after Emperor Qian tried to retain him several times, he allowed Zhao Fangde to serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs among the six departments, which was regarded as the most powerful one among the six.

And Zhao Fangde is the biggest supporter and the most powerful supporter of Ning Wang Lu Jin.

It was precisely with the presence of Zhao Fangde that Lu Jin recruited many civil servants, military generals and former ministers.

If Lu Fan hadn't suddenly emerged, Ning Wang Lu Jin would have been the most likely person to take the throne.

Because of this, the three kings of Yu, Qi, and Wei were most afraid of Ning Wang Lu Jin, and even the three of them thought of joining forces to fight him.

But now that Lu Fan has suddenly emerged, the four of them have to join forces.

At this moment, the one who was most unwilling was naturally Lu Jin.

He never imagined that the waste he ignored would now become his biggest competitor.

This made him feel extremely aggrieved and angry, and he felt like he had been tricked.

Because he also felt that his cheap brother was deliberately hiding his clumsiness.

He even guessed that the reason why Lu Fan hid his clumsiness must have something to do with his father.

The father may have determined that Lu Fan would inherit the throne from the beginning.

So he was very unwilling, so he personally invited his three cheap brothers and the supporters behind them.

The purpose was for the four of them to join forces to deal with Lu Fan.

When Lu Jin asked Zhao Fangde, the others also looked at Zhao Fangde, with expectant looks on their faces.

They still respect and admire Zhao Fangde, a two-generation veteran.

If Zhao Fangde was incompetent, Emperor Qianhuang Lu Zheng would not have asked him to come out and serve as right minister again.

Moreover, when everyone was quarreling just now, Old God Zhao Fangde was sitting there without saying a word.

Obviously, the former right prime minister must have a solution, otherwise he would never be so calm.

as expected.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Fangde said calmly: "To take the initiative to attack the prince at this time is to seek death!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone became anxious.

If we don't take action now, will we wait until Prince Lu Fan takes over?

Before anyone could ask anxious questions, Zhao Fangde said quietly: "Some things don't necessarily require us to do it ourselves. Sometimes killing someone with a borrowed knife is more effective than killing someone on our own initiative."

Listening to Zhao Fangde's unhurried words, everyone became even more curious.

Prince Ning Lu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and said with a respectful smile:

"Mr. Zhao, please don't try to seduce us with your lies. Please elaborate on the details."

When Zhao Fangde heard this, he no longer wanted to be evasive, and smiled lightly and said:

"This Tianjiao Competition will not only have the top ten forces and eight aristocratic families, but also the royal disciples of the three dynasties and some elite disciples of many forces within the three dynasties.

In addition, there are also the worshippers of the three dynasties, as well as the Cangjian Sect, the Manshen Sect and the Huoshen Sect."

When this was said, everyone was shocked. They didn't know this news before.

Ignoring the surprised people, Zhao Fangde continued: "If your majesty wants the prince to take the throne, then the prince must get a wonderful performance in the Tianjiao Competition to whitewash himself and win reputation."

Now everyone immediately understood, and their faces showed excitement.

"Yes, why didn't we think that as long as Lu Fan lost in the Tianjiao Competition, or was severely beaten to death.

Then people will definitely spit and despise him, thinking that he has lost face for our Daqian.

At that time, even if your majesty wants the prince to take the throne, he must consider the huge impact."

The more everyone thought about it, the more excited they became.

Although they knew that Lu Fan could practice, they also guessed that Lu Fan's cultivation would not be that great.

If it was just the disciples of the ten first-class forces and eight aristocratic families in Daqian, it would be fine.

But this time, in addition to these forces, there are also three major dynasties and six major worship sects in the Tianjiao Competition.

Let's not talk about the three major dynasties for now, the elite disciples brought by the six major worship sects are absolutely extremely powerful.

Even if Lu Fan is against the sky, he will never be able to compete with them.

At that time, Lu Fan will definitely lose face and even make the people hate him.

After all, this is a matter of Daqian's face, and Lu Fan is the prince of Daqian.

The prince of Daqian was defeated and completely abused in public, and you can imagine what the consequences will be.

Just when everyone was extremely excited, a middle-aged man next to Prince Yu smiled sinisterly...
