Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Imperial capital.

The third prince's government office.

The third prince was holding an exquisite long bow in his hand. He was currently bending the bow and setting an arrow, aiming at the target on a high peak in the forest on the eastern outskirts of the imperial capital.

call out

An arrow was shot from the imperial capital, flying across the sky as fast as lightning and hitting the target with incomparable accuracy.

At this time.

"Good archery skills." Mr. Huo quickly came to His Highness the Third Prince. He first praised him, and then said to His Highness: "Your Highness, there is news from the city gate that Lin Bai and other ten Taiyi Taoists are here." The Guo realm warrior has arrived in the imperial capital, and His Highness Prince Chen is hosting a banquet in the palace at the moment."

"Lin Bai." The third prince shrank his eyes, with hatred in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "This Lin Bai has ruined my good deeds time and time again. If he hadn't tried his best to help His Highness Chen, how could Prince Chen have returned to the imperial capital in just a few days?" In just a few years, he has achieved such a high status in front of Emperor Chu!"

"The battle against the Blood God Cult in Kezhou was originally a battle that ruined His Highness Prince Chen's reputation. However, unexpectedly, Lin Bai actually found the Blood God Cult's lair, allowing His Highness Prince Chen to successfully annihilate the Blood God Cult. In an instant, the king established a firm foothold in the imperial capital."

"He persuaded the Tianshui Sect to be loyal to His Highness King Chen. Although the Tianshui Sect has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the Tianshui Sect is determined to support His Highness King Chen, it will definitely become a strong enemy of mine."

"I heard that after the Tianshui Sect defeated the Tiandi Sect, they almost launched a strategy called the 'Rebirth Plan', which meant that they would make every effort to support their disciples."

"It seems that Tianshui Sect is planning to prepare for the next war."

Recently, in Chu State, the most popular place is undoubtedly Tianshui Sect.

During the half-month bloody battle at Shui Jinghai, the warriors of the Chu Kingdom originally thought that the Heaven and Earth Sect would be successful immediately, but they did not expect that after half a month of bloody battle, the Heaven and Earth Sect would be defeated and flee, which is really sad.

Huo Lao said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is another reason. Tianshui Sect believes that supporting His Highness King Chen this time will be an opportunity for Tianshui Sect to rise, so they will make a desperate move to combine the fate of the sect with His Highness King Chen's. Their fate is tied together, and there is no gap between the two of them. One will be prosperous and the other will suffer!"

The third prince frowned, sighed, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Mr. Huo, we are very passive now."

"Above the court, Emperor Chu's attitude is unclear, and he seems a little unwilling to pursue the matter of the twelfth prince."

"Yesterday I mentioned it in front of my father, but I clearly felt that my father didn't seem to want to mention it!"

"Now that the orphan of the Twelve Princes is in our hands, it is not so important."

The third prince clearly felt that his birthday was approaching, and Emperor Chu was also fully supporting His Highness King Chen.

If it had been the past, Emperor Chu would have unleashed his thunderous wrath and killed all the warriors who had anything to do with the Twelve Princes.

And this time.

Emperor Chu didn't seem to be so determined anymore, and even didn't want to pursue the matter anymore.

The third prince had mentioned the orphan of the twelfth prince many times in the court in the past few days, hoping to arouse Emperor Chu's anger and implicate His Highness Prince Chen.

But every time he mentioned it, Emperor Chu would close his eyes, as if he hadn't heard the matter.

His Highness the Third Prince knew that he could not continue talking, otherwise, it would probably be counterproductive.

Huo Lao chuckled and said: "It's not that His Majesty the Emperor of Chu doesn't want to pursue the matter of the Twelve Princes, but now His Majesty the Emperor of Chu wants to support His Highness Prince Chen and not let His Highness Prince Chen be implicated in other matters."

"But now His Majesty Emperor Chu favors His Highness King Chen. As long as His Highness King Chen loses his favor in front of Emperor Chu, then the old and new grudges will have to be settled together."

The third prince said softly: "It's easy for Mr. Huo to say it. How can we make His Highness Chen lose his favor?"

"Now His Highness King Chen's favor in front of His Majesty Emperor Chu has almost surpassed mine."

"Even the eldest prince and the second prince back then did not receive as much favor as His Highness Prince Chen does today."

"These days, Emperor Chu gives a small reward every three days and a big reward every five days. The treasures sent to Prince Chen's Mansion are probably not even able to fit in the treasure house of Prince Chen's Mansion."

The third prince shook his head repeatedly, feeling that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him.

Mr. Huo said: "Actually, Your Highness, you don't need to worry. There is a God-given opportunity right now. Not only can His Highness King Chen lose everything in front of His Majesty again, but it can also allow His Highness the Third Prince to continue to flourish."

The third prince frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of God-given opportunity?"

Huo Lao said: "Didn't His Majesty the Emperor of Chu ask His Highness King Chen to support the security of the Imperial Capital during his birthday? If chaos breaks out again and again in the Imperial Capital at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu will definitely punish His Highness King Chen."

"If only some little people die, it won't matter."

"But if a saint son or a saint from a big sect or family dies, then this matter will be huge."

"For example, if Lin Bai dies in the imperial capital, with how much Tianshui Sect attaches great importance to Lin Bai, does Your Highness think that Tianshui Sect will let it go? They will definitely try their best to avenge Lin Bai and sue Emperor Chu. When the emperor was furious, the first person to blame was His Highness King Chen, because he was responsible for the security of the imperial capital."

The third prince's eyes shrank, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips: "Mr. Huo, continue."

Huo Lao responded and continued: "If chaos continues in the imperial capital, and saints and saints from large sects and families continue to die, the greater the commotion, the more sins will be committed by His Highness Prince Chen!"

"When the time comes, Emperor Chu convicts King Chen, His Highness only needs to stand up and take over the security of the imperial capital, and then we will find a way to find the murderer and give them an explanation."

"Those sects and families whose saints and saints died will definitely be grateful to His Highness when they see that His Highness has found the ferocious beast for them, and they may even secretly help His Highness ascend to the throne of God."

The smile on the third prince's lips gradually grew stronger.

Can follow.

The third prince frowned again and said: "How can the saint sons of big families and sects die so easily? Moreover, those saint sons and saints are protected by strong men from the Taiyi Daoguo realm, and even some sects are We have dispatched Daluo Daoguo realm warriors to protect the Holy Son and the Saint."

"How difficult is it to kill them? And it is even more difficult to kill them under the eyes of Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors and Daluo Daoguo realm warriors."

Mr. Huo smiled faintly and said, "Look for opportunities slowly. There are still two years until Emperor Chu's birthday. There will eventually be a chance."

The third prince took a deep breath, with a cunning look in his eyes: "Mr. Huo, if this comes to pass, His Royal Highness King Chen will be severely punished by His Majesty, and he will definitely lose his position as Crown Prince. After his birthday, I will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. By then. At that time, I will take Mr. Huo as my teacher and worship him as the emperor’s teacher!"

When Huo Lao heard this, his face was filled with joy, he knelt on the ground and thanked him devoutly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
