People travel through the heavens, playing infinite roles

Chapter 51, the battle of the royal family, the loser dies
"But you obviously took over the dragon pattern jade pendant."

Wuyan frowned slightly, very puzzled.

Accepting the move of the eldest prince to hand over the jade pendant with dragon patterns, isn't the implication in this is to support the eldest prince's enthronement by default?

Why did he inadvertently deny it when he asked now?

"I took over the dragon pattern jade pendant, but I didn't say that I would support him to ascend the throne, did I?"

Chu Yun clasped his hands together, his face was upright and serious.

Seeing Chu Yun's serious look, the corners of Wuyan's mouth couldn't help twitching, never expecting to be able to play like this, collect money, and do nothing.

In fact, not only did Wu Yan feel that after Chu Yun accepted the jade pendant, he had already agreed to support the eldest prince to ascend the throne, even the eldest prince felt the same way after seeing Chu Yun accept the dragon pattern jade pendant, so he left satisfied.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the Guanxing Pavilion, "The second prince of Xuanwu Kingdom asks to see the two guardian envoys!"

Not long after the elder brother left, the second younger brother came, and the speed was quite fast. Maybe if he came faster, the two could still bump into each other.

"Your Highness, please come in."

With a flick of his sleeve, Wuyan opened the door of the Stargazing Pavilion.

It was no different from the previous eldest prince. The second prince also came to win over the guardian envoy and support him to ascend the throne. These two are indeed brothers, and even the way of winning people's hearts is roughly the same.

As soon as the slightly vulgar routine is over, Wuyan drives away the guests with the excuse that "the guardian does not participate in the battle between the royal families".

The second prince was not reconciled, holding out the last sliver of hope, he took out the jade pendant with dragon patterns, and handed it to Chu Yun who had never spoken beside him: "This is the jade pendant with dragon patterns bestowed by the late king, and I hope the guardian Wuxin will accept it."

It was naturally difficult for Chu Yun to refuse such a sincere gift from the other party, otherwise he would look down on the other party, so he reluctantly took the second dragon pattern jade pendant into his pocket.

This scene was once again seen by Wuyan, but this time he was not expressionless, but the corners of his mouth trembled slightly. It seemed that Wuxin was planning to collect money and not do anything.

Seeing Chu Yun accepting the jade pendant, the second prince went out with the same satisfaction as his eldest brother, and even had the same thought in his heart, "Brother, you will not be able to compete with me for the throne after all..."

The second prince left, and the door of the Guanxing Pavilion was closed again.

……

Assassin headquarters.

The leader of the assassins on the stone seat had a frosty expression on his face. He had just learned the news of the deaths of the third assassin and Qilin.

The seven shadow assassins have been reduced by two at once, and the strength of the assassin organization has been greatly reduced. It is necessary to regroup the seven shadow assassins as soon as possible.

As for who to promote to become the Shadow Assassin, he already has a candidate in mind...

"Boss, His Highness the eldest prince, please see me."

From the stone ladder, the assassin's envoy floated to the circular platform.

"Elder prince..."

The frost on the face of the leader of the assassins dissipated a lot, and he said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

……

Xuanwu Kingdom, Guanxing Pavilion.

After the two princes left, the place fell into silence again, and the time passed by every minute.

In the end, I couldn't help being so curious that I looked at Chu Yun not far away who was meditating with his eyes closed, and asked, "Are you really planning to participate in the imperial battle?"

Both the tokens of the eldest prince and the second prince were accepted by Wuxin, but Wuxin did this. Which prince is he trying to support to ascend to the throne?

Now, he couldn't understand the meaning of everything Wuxin did, and he accepted the tokens from the two princes, but he didn't clearly state his position.

"Is there a problem?"

Chu Yun continued to meditate, and replied in a lukewarm manner.

Wu Yan frowned, and warned: "But you are a guardian, so it is against the rules."

At this time, Chu Yun stopped meditating, and finally slowly opened his closed eyes: "It's all up to now, don't you understand?"

"Understand what?"

Hearing this, he stared blankly, his face full of doubts.

"The purpose of the old king leaving a blank succession scroll is to let the guardians participate in the battle between the royal families. Otherwise, why do you think the old monk allowed you to take the succession scroll away?"

"Even if it's just a blank scroll, as long as the guardian wants to, he can draw up a legacy at any time."

As Chu Yun said calmly, he recalled in his mind that night in the old monk's meditation room, when he glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

The old monk Wuyou was obviously the first to understand the old king's intentions. At that time in the meditation room, his intentional or unintentional glance also hinted at Chu Yun, "It's time for the guardian, and it's time to participate in the battle between the royal family."

And why he only hinted at Chu Yun and not Wuyan, of course, has Wuyan's own reasons. Wuyan, an elm-headed man who abides by ancient rules, obviously doesn't understand the meaning implied by Wuyan's eyes.

After Wu Yan digested the information and thought it through clearly, Chu Yun continued: "In order to sit on the throne, the two princes must not only win over the guardian envoys, but also seek the support of various forces to ensure that they have more bargaining chips to be able to Take the throne."

"And the guardian is not only a participant, but also an observer in this battle for the throne of the royal family."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Wuyan did not understand what the inspector meant.

Chu Yun explained indifferently: "The meaning is very simple. To observe the scheming and means used by the two princes in order to win over the forces of all parties in the battle for the throne. Only those who are outstanding in these two aspects can win the support of the guardian. .”

"At this point, things become simpler. After deciding which prince to support, the guardian can draw up a will on the succession scroll, and the prince who is supported by the guardian will ascend the throne in a legitimate manner. "

Chu Yun held the Buddhist beads in his hands, paused, and said in a deep voice: "This is the last chess move played by the old king before he died. The chess hand can choose the emperor. This chess game is very good..."

Actually, Chu Yun didn't finish his sentence. The old king's chess moves are very good, but it's a bit difficult for his son.

If it is among ordinary people, no matter what they are fighting for, losing at most is nothing more than losing family property and losing face.

But the royal family is different. Once the competition is lost, it is life.

No matter who wins or loses in this battle for the throne, there will only be one prince left in the end, and the other prince will die in the chess game laid by the old king and become a stepping stone on the way to the throne for the new king.

The road to the emperor is formed by the accumulation of thousands of bones, and among these thousands of bones, what are brothers and compatriots?
Soon after, one of the two princes will go down to accompany their father.

Since ancient times, countless disasters have occurred in the royal family due to the struggle for the throne. Father and son killed each other, and brothers killed each other.

Everyone in the world envies those born in the royal family, but how many people know that the royal family is the darkest place in the world.
