Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 650: Chu Qian's Scheme, the Princes' Internal Fight

"Your Highness, the information is correct."

In the capital, at the Second Prince's Mansion, a pot-bellied man walked in, panting.

When Chu Qian heard the result, he clenched his hands unconsciously.

Everything was planned out, but no one expected that the old dog from Dongping would suppress the Snow Dragon Riders at this time and march straight to the capital.

"Useless, a bunch of useless!! We were praising them to the sky before, but now they can't even stop the rebels. Who allowed them to retreat?!"

Facing the second prince's roar, the man shook unconsciously, and the fat on his body shook violently twice.

He had already heard what had happened. The King of Dongping got a batch of thunder bombs from somewhere, which led to the defeat of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. Thunder bombs were extremely powerful and could not be resisted by mortals. Although the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was strong, they were still mortals after all. In his opinion, what Chu Qian said was a bit too much to ask.

  Shouldn't we retreat and wait to be blown to ashes by those things? ?

Of course, he had no intention of revealing these words. Chu Qian was furious because his plan had failed. Saying these words now would be like adding fuel to the fire. If he was angered by this person, he would be in big trouble.

After a while, seeing that Chu Qian had almost vented his anger, the visitor began to persuade him: "Your Highness, now that this has happened, getting angry will only hurt your body and will not help. We must arrange how to deal with it as soon as possible. When Dongping comes to the capital, we will not only have to face several other princes in the palace and even the adults in the capital, no one can escape!"

At this time, Chu Qian's face was still very ugly, but he did not continue to curse. He walked around the room without saying a word, as if he was considering the next deployment.

"Mr. Yu, do you have any advice?"

The man's surname is Yu, and he is known as Yu Sanye in the underworld. He is the man behind the scenes controlling the entire pawnbroker industry in the capital. All the affairs in this industry, whether overt or covert, or legal or illegal, are within his sphere of influence, and his actual power should not be underestimated.

Because of Xichun, Jia Hong sent people to sweep the capital's low-class people again. On the surface, the capital seemed to have not changed much, but only people who were familiar with this industry knew that many people disappeared that night, entire families disappeared.

Later, the matter was secretly reported to the secret guards, who then reported it to the palace. Unfortunately, there was no response from the palace, and the matter fell into oblivion.

This man named Yu surrendered to the capital at that time. The other princes did not dare to take him in because of Jia Hong. Only the second prince Chu Qian secretly took him in. Later, when Jia Hong left the capital, the people of all walks of life in the capital gradually recovered.

When talking about the Marquis and the Marquis' Mansion, Mr. Yu's heart trembled. He actually had quite a few subordinates, but facing the people in Jia Hong's Mansion was like an egg hitting a stone.

Privately-raised assassins are still assassins after all. They are okay for assassination, but when facing regular troops, they are the kind that can directly sweep them away, with crossbows strung and overwhelming, and not a single one of them escapes in the end.

Jia Hong was too cruel that time.

As long as the relationship was confirmed, all the forces involved would be uprooted without hesitation. No matter who was standing behind them, they would all end up being killed. In the end, the officials who supported these businessmen became frightened birds, fearing that they would wake up the next morning and see the heads of their families placed at their bedside. At this time, many of them took refuge in the Marquis' Mansion.

And Jia Hong did not kill all these people. After all, these people were not ordinary people and they all held official positions. If dozens of them died at once, the court would have no way of hiding the fact.

After secretly dealing with several culprits, Jia Hong made the rest of the people spies, keeping an eye on the lower classes in the capital and informing the Marquis' Mansion of any incidents in a timely manner.

"The current situation is still unclear. If we attack without authorization, we will most likely attract the attention of most people. Although the capital seems to be in danger, the capital has been set up here since the founding of the Great Kang Dynasty. Various forces are intertwined. It will be very difficult for the King of Dongping to break the city. I think we should not only guard against Dongping, but also the forces within the capital."

Master Yu San thought about it and then expressed his thoughts. Right now, the capital city seemed to be full of enemies and undercurrents, but there were not many mobilizations of troops in the capital area. The camps outside the capital and the imperial guards guarding the palace did not move on a large scale.

From this point of view, the capital is not as weak as it seems. On the contrary, even if it really faces the King of Dongping, the outcome is still difficult to predict. Dongping has thunder bombs, but the court has thunder seeds.

There is another thing. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has not suffered too much loss so far. After all, the advantage of Prince Dongping's army is naval warfare, and after coming to land, its combat power is not worth mentioning at all.

If the battle line is stretched and their retreat is cut off, it is unknown how long they can hold out.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is famous for its mobility. Now that the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is retreating, no one is sure whether it is to lure the enemy deep into their territory and then cut off their supply of fire. Although this may sound a bit mythical about this powerful force, don't forget that this iron cavalry was invincible in the northern border back then.

"What's the reaction from Lao Wu?"

Talking about his fifth brother, a trace of gloom passed through Chu Qian's heart. Back then, he thought he was just a little brat hiding under the wings of others, but he didn't expect that he would become the strongest contender for the throne today.

"The Fifth Prince's mansion is too strictly guarded. Our people can't get in at all. Even the maids and servants we sent in before were never heard from again."

Master Yu San's face darkened. He was the one who sent the people in personally, and he also had their families under his control, so he was not afraid that they would not surrender. But even so, no one had ever come out.

In half a year at most, he would be able to confirm that those people had been bribed or killed. Of course, the possibility of being killed was greater.

"I guess the third brother himself didn't expect this good brother!!"

The third prince Chu Ye and the fifth prince Chu Xuan were born to the same mother and should have been very close, but in the end Chu Xuan stepped on his brother to ascend to the throne.

Chu Ye's current situation is similar to his own. He has been directly marginalized. You know, they were the most sought-after people in the palace back then. After three or two years, they have fallen to such a state. It is really fate that plays tricks on them.

"But there is one strange thing. The spies stationed outside the Fifth Prince's residence reported that recently there is a lame old Taoist priest who often appears outside his residence."
