Douluo: Huo Yuhao of the clone style

Chapter 227: Conspiracy in the making
One week after the Sun-Moon Empire's mutiny.

Relying on the advantages of numbers and the first move, Xu Tianran almost wiped out all the members of the royal family across the country.

On this basis, he relaxed intelligence control and entry and exit restrictions in various places, and announced the news that the late emperor had unfortunately passed away and that the prince would ascend the throne soon.

There was no unusual movement in the Sun-Moon Empire.

The forces that had the ability to shake his rule were basically persuaded by Xu Tianran using interests and crises.

The second-rate ones also have the ability to adapt to the changing circumstances and will not stand out rashly.

The rest, who are dissatisfied because they did not get much benefit or even suffered losses, have no choice but to accept it.

Therefore, when the news of the prince's rebellion reached the Three Kingdoms, they were facing the current situation.

Although there were some controversies, almost all forces in the Sun-Moon Empire accepted the new emperor.

For a time, the Three Kingdoms had no idea where to start.

Tianhun and Douling felt a little regretful about this, but it soon became unimportant.

Anyway, they had no influence on the political changes in the Sun-Moon Empire in the past, and now it was just a repetition of the past.

It's done.

But for Xingluo's Xu Jiawei, it's different.

It’s not that his power is now so great that he can extend his hand into the royal family of Sun and Moon, but that his smuggling power has an unexpected gain.

"What? You said you found a prince of the Sun and Moon?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Jiawei, who was reporting to him, with some surprise.

This guy should have returned to Xingluo City after the celebration and been an honest emperor.

But these days he has been busy getting Du Bu Si to drink, trying to find out from him how the Benti Sect came to rely on him.

So I delayed my return trip.

Then, Xu Jiawei received a piece of important news from his subordinates.

They, to be exact the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, picked up the eldest son of Prince Sun and Moon.

It is said that his father had a bad feeling a few days ago because Mingdu’s trading partner postponed the transaction time.

So he gave the fiefdom to his son in advance and arranged a substitute to take his place.

Originally this was just a subconscious reaction of his, just like in the past, he never thought that he would use it.

If he really thought he could be of use, he would have run away early and would not have stayed in the fiefdom at all.

But in the end, Xu Tianran wielded the butcher knife against all members of the royal family who might affect his rule, regardless of whether they were far or near.

So, for the first time, his preparations were really put to use.

The existence of the substitute easily confused the Titled Douluo who came to his door, and bought his son time to escape.

Although the stand-in was exposed in subsequent screening.

Fortunately, the Jiubao Liuli Sect was nearby at the time and helped the prince repel the first wave of pursuers.

Afterwards, they relied on the power of the three families to cover up each other and barely escaped from the subsequent pursuit and blockade by Xu Tianran's men.

Now it is hiding near the border.

"According to the intelligence we have received so far, this seems to be the only surviving royal family member of this generation of the Sun Moon Empire, except for Xu Tianran."

Xu Jiawei reminded.

"Then this prince is very valuable."

Huo Yuhao carefully flipped through the intelligence information in his hand.

As a time traveler who knew the inside story, he didn't believe that there was only one person.

The reason is simple. Xu Tianran himself is disabled, so he has to keep at least one for breeding.

Therefore, he must have another blood relative who is completely under his control.

But this does not mean that this prince is useless.

Completely under Xu Tianran's control, what's the difference between him and Xu Tianran himself?
of course not.

Then this is naturally the only choice they have.

The question now is how they can make good use of this only option.

"Are you sure there's no way to take him away from the Sun Moon Empire?"

Putting down the documents, Huo Yuhao tapped the table lightly.

"No, our power is okay for Tibetans, but it's far from enough to openly confront Xu Tianran."

In fact, this was what Xu Jiawei had chosen.

They were able to hide people thanks to the fact that there were many special spirit masters in the smuggling team who specialized in this area, rather than because of how many relationships they developed.

On this basis, let alone confronting Xu Tianran, even confronting the forces of this kid's father would be very difficult.

Therefore, if they want to rely on them to break through the encirclement formed by Xu Tianran's men and the border defense line, it is better for them to go to bed early.

“That’s a bit troublesome.”

The trouble that Huo Yuhao mentioned is not that there is no solution, but the question is whether it is worth it.

Apart from anything else, he could definitely bring this person back easily if he made the trip himself.

But what about bringing it back?

It's nothing more than cultivating her like with Cai Tou, enhancing some feelings, and then sending her back before Xu Tianran completely consolidates his rule.

Otherwise, the value of this prince might not be on the same level as He Caitou.

——Only blood claim, no political prestige.

It might even be worse. After all, He Caitou grew up in their family, while this prince is an adult.

"Yuhao, look here."

Xu Jiawei did not speak directly, but picked out one item from the intelligence and pointed it to Huo Yuhao.

The content of this paragraph is that the new emperor will strongly support the development of Mingdetang and actively follow up on cutting-edge soul guide project.

At the same time, the new emperor intends to invest a lot of resources and welcomes soul mentors from all walks of life in the empire to join.

After this piece of information, the provider also emphasized that this is not exclusive information, but a "current situation" that has spread throughout the streets and alleys and everyone is discussing it.

"This paragraph seems to be recruiting people from the Sun-Moon Empire, but..."

Huo Yuhao did not finish his words.

"But that's not necessary, right?"

Xu Jiawei took over the conversation.

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

There are only so many high-end soul mentors in the Sun-Moon Empire, and most of them are now under Xu Tianran's command.

Just talk to someone privately and be done with it, why spread it everywhere?

unless……

"Unless this is a signal to other forces within Sun and Moon that are still wavering."

Xu Jiawei, who is very good at guessing other people's thoughts, said.

"The Sun-Moon Empire has been developing for so many years, and basically everything that can be developed has been developed. So where does he get such a large amount of resources?"

“Redistribute resources internally and plunder resources externally.”

Huo Yuhao replied casually.

This thing was clearly recorded in history books of the previous life.

The former, for example, peasant uprisings, support for eunuchs, civil wars among princes... are all ways of redistributing resources within the system.

Not to mention the latter, everyone knows how Daying and Amei became big and strong.

"...Sure enough, there are always some monsters born in this world."

Xu Jiawei sighed a little.

He originally came here with the intention of deepening his relationship with Huo Yuhao and guiding him to get a glimpse of the changes between countries from the intelligence.

Simply put, I am here to be a teacher.

This is his only advantage compared to other soul masters.

As a result, Huo Yuhao was not only able to follow his thinking, but also summarized these behaviors.

'The speed of cultivation is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can quickly see through and summarize the operation of human society... Could this be specially given to the leader of mankind?'

Xu Jiawei felt that he had found the truth.

Maybe, this time he can take advantage of the opportunity to make something big?
"What monster?" Huo Yuhao was still thinking about the problem of the Sun Moon Empire and did not notice that Xu Jiawei had changed because of his casual words.

"Nothing, just some personal sentiments. Let's continue talking about the sun and the moon."

Xu Jiawei smiled slightly.

Well, it just deepened my determination to hang out with the big guys, it’s no big deal.

"In short, as you said, there are two possibilities for Xu Tianran now. One is to adjust the flow of domestic resources, and the other is to start a war against us. This news is a hint."

Xu Jiawei concluded.

As for the latter, he didn't quite believe that the Sun-Moon Empire had the courage to do so.

Not to mention their now obvious alliance, Shrek has two real Ultimate Douluo fighters.

Especially when one of them had already shown signs that he would not live long.

But it is always a possibility, at least a possibility that can be controlled.

"Yuhao, are you interested in taking this opportunity to become the master of the continent?"

Xu Jiawei suggested directly.

If Huo Yuhao becomes the ruler of the continent, their Xu family can at least get the position of prime minister.

It’s not that he looks down on other forces, but this is the current situation.

It is true that Shrek has many strong people, but they are basically indifferent to power, and the same is true for the Body Sect.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was obviously aiming for the status of the foreign relative.

So, is there any suspense?

"busy now."

Huo Yuhao instantly understood Xu Jiawei's thoughts.

Use the Sun and Moon Empire to wipe out the opposition forces and then unify the continent.

Well, a stand-in that is exactly the same as him.

But unfortunately, he is too busy now and has no time to do such things.

——The unification of the continent is not enough to take away his time from cultivation and research. Let’s wait until the power of his faith is needed.

"Well, then we have to choose another option."

Xu Jiawei did not feel too regretful.

"No time" and "don't want to" are two different concepts. The Xu family still has a chance.

"Link up with other forces and directly raise the flag in Sun and Moon to confront Xu Tianran."

Xu Jiawei suggested again.

"As long as we can let them see the hope of victory, those who are dissatisfied with Xu Tianran will naturally join this prince."

At that time, even if we don't pay attention to anything else, we will only consider purchasing rare metals.

Relying on the power they have personally built up, it is enough for them to make a fortune.

What is smuggling? This is called official trade.

"The premise is to let them see the hope of victory."

Huo Yuhao pointed out the key problem of this plan.

We are not fools. Even if there is a possibility of funding cuts, it is better than losing your head.

"Yes, so we have to invest a considerable amount of money, which may not be recovered."

Xu Jiawei talked about the shortcomings of this plan.

If the prince cannot even hold on to the first wave, he will naturally not be able to attract other people to come and join him.

Then their investment would be completely wasted.

"Besides, we can't just commit to combat power yet."

Xu Jiawei continued to add.

"If Xu Tianran can prove that the Crown Prince has a direct relationship with us, the Crown Prince will be in a state of being without a legitimate reason."

Huo Yuhao naturally understood what Xu Jiawei meant.

As for the prince, if it is not exposed, then it means that his own brothers are fighting for the meat.

Not only was there no interference from public opinion, but he was also able to occupy the moral high ground when facing Xu Tianran, who slaughtered members of the royal family.

And if our relationship with them were exposed, it would be tantamount to colluding with foreign enemies.

Forget about the commanding heights, it’s good enough if it’s not a low-lying area.

"That's right. We must make our presence less visible. We must not allow any high-level spirit masters to take action, and Shrek's spirit guides must not appear in the process."

Xu Jiawei nodded in agreement.

"But the problem is that after excluding these, our current soul guides are not enough to support such a battle."

Even if there were, Xu Jiawei would not let them do so.

The soul guide forces they have now are either the direct forces trained by the Xu family, or the Shrek soul guide department, which is Huo Yuhao's direct forces.

Which of these two would he dare to let go?
No one dares to do that.

“That’s the biggest risk.”

As long as they don't let the people below take action, Huo Yuhao and his team will not have absolute certainty.

And if you take action, you will definitely lose.

Of course, this problem can also be solved by him.

But since Huo Yuhao, the boss, has to do everything, what else do they, the younger brothers, need to do?
"Since you can tell me all this, I guess you already have an implementation plan, right? Just go on."

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked towards Xu Jiawei.

"nature."

If there was no execution plan, Xu Jiawei would not have come forward.

Subordinates who just raise questions will not get any good ratings.

The boss loves people who can raise problems and solve them at the same time.

"While tempting with benefits, find a way to fix the meaning behind this news to the first one, and stir up opposition forces within the Sun-Moon Empire."

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, he added another sentence.

"Xu Tianran tried to cut the investment of other forces, so they spread the news. Logically, this is reasonable."

This is also the basis for Xu Jiawei to believe that they can intervene. Both interpretations are logical.

——The former is people whose funding has been cut recruiting comrades, and the latter is Xu Tianran hinting that he will launch a plundering war.

"Specific methods?"

Huo Yuhao asked.

"Rumors are already everywhere anyway, we can definitely add a little more to it."

Xu Jiawei answered fluently.

At this time, the simpler the solution, the less likely it is to go wrong.

"As long as the voice is loud enough, there will be people who believe it, and these people are the ones we want to win over."

Xu Jiawei added.

"Of course, in addition to this, in order to ensure the success of the plan, we have also made some other preparations, such as strengthening the border garrison."

But this requires good coordination with the prince, and also a good sense of balance.

We must not let other people in the Sun-Moon Empire feel a fatal threat, so Xu Tianran will take advantage of the situation and fight to suppress internal conflicts with foreign war.

At the same time, they have to feel troubled and divert some of their energy.

Therefore, the best way is to let high-level combat forces take the trip.

"I wonder if the students of the Xing Luo Empire can have a friendly sparring match with the Benti Sect at the border of Xing Luo?"

Xu Jiawei asked.

“It would be even better if Dean Qian Duoduo is willing to attend as a referee and supervise members of both sides.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Yuhao instantly understood what he meant.

"of course can."

He replied with a smile.
