Chapter 156

After reading this sincere invitation letter, Weiwei put it away at any time, looking at the magician kneeling on the ground and said:

"Anything else?"

"No, nothing."

Weiwei's expression was calm, she stood up, drew her sword and chopped off his head with one sword.

The eldest prince would extend an olive branch to her at this time to pull her into the group, and other princes would naturally not have thought of it.

And as the eldest son, the eldest prince himself has a lot of buffs, but in the fight for the throne, he is on par with his younger brothers, and even vaguely the one who is at a disadvantage among the parties.

It is enough to explain a lot of things.

This guy's methods are much worse than those of the other princes.

Even he can think of winning over other royal children who are not participating in the fight for the throne, and the other princes can't have thought of it.

But now Weiwei has only received the news from the eldest prince.

There is no need to think about it. Most of the people in the city lord's mansion control the magic circle for external communication, and the information of the other princes is mostly intercepted by others.

The magician in front of him was in charge of contacting the magic circle, so it was not unfair to kill him.

Weiwei immediately called people over, and in addition to dealing with the corpse, she also searched thoroughly.

As expected, many letters intercepted by the eldest prince's people were found soon.

Most of them were recently sent by other princes to win over Weiwei.

The earliest one had even been sent for nearly half a month, but it was all intercepted by the insider sent by the eldest prince to her.

"Always using such unpresentable means, no wonder the first heir to the throne has become like this now."

Weiwei couldn't help but think of a sentence mentioned in the "Art of War" that Su Yi gave her.

"In any battle, the right way to unite and the unusual way to win."

"Obviously has the greatest advantage, but does not take the right way, always wants to do things through such unconventional means." She doubted the level of her royal brother.

In her heart, this buddy has basically no chance of the throne.

Apart from being the eldest son, he is not good at anything, so why should he compete with the others?

And the other intercepted letters came.

The other princes would say more if they were to extend an olive branch.

Of course, they would not even mention such a heaven-defying statement as asking her to lead troops to Beijing directly in the letter. They just said that the most beloved princess of the late emperor was her, Weiwei, who was now seriously ill and dying. Once they heard the news of the late emperor's death, they must rush back to the imperial capital to see him off for the last time.

As for asking her to give up Mengchuan City and then give her a new fiefdom afterwards, they would not say such a heaven-defying statement.

In any case, the emperor's duty is to protect everyone in the empire.

You said you would give up this and that before you ascended the throne, and you wrote it in the letter. If Weiwei published the letter, it would damage your reputation too much.

Mengchuan City was besieged by foreign tribes. You can ignore it and pretend to be blind, but you want people to abandon the city and flee, which is a bit too heaven-defying.

Other princes would not do such things that would give people a reason to criticize them. Only the eldest prince was a bit stupid and wrote it in the letter and sent it to her.

But not writing it clearly does not mean not hinting. Each prince gave Weiwei many hints and promised a lot of benefits.

Weiwei took a rough look at the letters sent by these princes and found that no matter what they said, they basically meant the same thing.

That is, she was asked to lead the troops back to the imperial capital with great fanfare. The number of troops was not important, and the most important thing was to show which side she stood on.

There was nothing new, so she was too lazy to read it carefully.

Instead, she picked up the latest news sent by her own people in the imperial capital.

Then she pinched her eyebrows with a headache.

Don’t think that the letter just sent by the eldest prince was easy.

The actual situation is much more complicated than this.

The old emperor passed away last night. Since last night, the entire imperial capital has been completely under martial law.

The Capital Garrison Knights and the Palace Guards, who only obeyed the emperor on the surface, directly blocked the entire city.

Of course, in fact, everyone knows that it is the eldest prince who controls these two armies.

Other ambitious princes are certainly unwilling to sit and wait for death.

Early this morning, the first batch of hundreds of thousands of troops under the second prince arrived outside the imperial capital, and in the name of condolences, they asked the eldest prince to open the city gate to let the second prince enter the city.

More troops are still on the way.

Millions of elite troops of the Chiyang Empire under the command of the four princes have long been assembled around the imperial capital, and now they have all started to move.

The war is about to break out.

Even in the imperial capital, the eldest prince, as the first heir, cannot fully control the imperial capital.

In this giant city famous in the magic world, the shouting and killing has not stopped since last night, and no one knows how many people have died inside.

Weiwei's intelligence personnel in the imperial capital are not sure either, only saying that the river outside the palace turned red this morning.

The situation in the imperial capital seems tense, but it is not easy at all.

On the surface, the princes have not yet completely fought, but secretly the war has actually begun.

The civil war will break out completely if there is only one opportunity.

And Weiwei felt that this opportunity might not be far away, just in the next few days.

"Leave the corpse alone and attack with armor."

Weiwei shook her head and turned her eyes away from the distant imperial capital.

Instead of caring about that, she might as well take care of her own Mengchuan City first.

And the news of the turmoil in the imperial capital and the death of the emperor must not spread in Mengchuan City in the next few days, otherwise it will definitely cause the army to waver.

After all, she had been making promises that reinforcements were on the way, and the defenders in the city had no idea that there were reinforcements from another world, so they naturally thought that they were from the imperial capital.

Now they were told that the imperial capital was about to go into civil war, and several princes were almost fighting to get the throne.

Doesn't this mean that there was no possibility of reinforcements at all?

Weiwei had just ordered her confidants to block the news and cut off all external contact channels in the city, including the magic circle of the Magic Guild.

It just so happened that she received the news from Su Yi on the trading platform.

Weiwei, who was originally in a gloomy mood due to the pressure of city defense and the turmoil in the imperial capital, suddenly brightened up, and the whole person was visibly brighter.

She immediately explained the matter to her subordinates quickly, and then entered the trading space.

"How is it? Do you have any clues? Can it be solved within three days? Mengchuan City can only hold on for about three days at most!"

As soon as she entered the door, Weiwei asked quickly.

Although two days had passed since the three-day period agreed upon with Su Yi, she felt that this time was too short, and she was afraid that Su Yi would not have enough time to prepare.

"Three days? Not three days, the first batch of supplies has been prepared, and the troops are all in place, and they can be sent to you now."
