Chapter 515: Watching the Fight Between Tigers
"Nothing, let's go in." Xie Mubai glanced at Shen Wan and said lightly.
While this was a reasonable guess, he had no solid evidence.
What's more, this happened on the street, so we can't talk about this kind of thing casually.
Xie Lian is also a smart man.
Even if his son didn't say it, he guessed the answer.
The third prince's wet nurse is from Miaojiang, while the old Miao king's disciple looks very similar to Concubine Yu.
I'm sure everyone knows what this means.
Although extremely shocked, Xie Lian quickly calmed down. After all, it was not surprising that such a scandal happened in the royal family.
What’s funny is that person prides himself on being very smart and thinks he can manipulate everyone.
But that clever man actually raised someone else's son for more than 20 years, and even intended to make this son the crown prince!
Xie Lian even thought maliciously that it would be great if the third prince was really made the crown prince.
That person's kingdom was handed over to someone else for nothing!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Xie Lian suppressed his smile and went into the county government office first.
And Shen Wan also passed through the back door of the county government office and came to the medicine shop.
Although no one knew what the Xie family father and son and Wang Qi discussed, there were many more soldiers patrolling the streets in the evening, and many defensive facilities were added to the city gates.
And there seemed to be more carrier pigeons flying in the sky than usual.
Everyone vaguely smelled the scent of war.
At the same time, the third prince's fortune was gradually improving.
Since the advent of guns, the Wei army has been unstoppable, forcing the foreign armies to retreat step by step.
The Dog Emperor was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to confer the title of prince on the third prince.
For a time, the third prince was famous for his great military achievements.
As for the ugly things he did before, people also selectively forgot about them.
Even if someone occasionally mentions it, others don't take it seriously.
No one is perfect.
Compared with the Third Prince's great achievements in defeating foreign nations, his faults seemed insignificant.
Although Lanyang City is isolated from the world, Shen Wan still knew the news.
"What should we do now?" She asked worriedly, looking at the villain's handsome face. "If this continues, the Third Prince will become a hero in the eyes of the people."
"If we start a war again at that time, it will definitely be unpopular."
Compared with the previous few days, Xie Mubai's complexion looked much better, and his ink-black eyes seemed particularly bright.
"There's nothing to worry about." He stretched out his large white hand and gently pinched her pink face. "If I say that the Third Prince's recent victory was arranged by me, would you believe it?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
What?
His arrangement?
Can he win the battle thousands of miles away while he is in Lanyang City?
"Isn't your man smart?" Seeing her puzzled expression, Xie Mubai's smile grew even brighter. "Since he has a gun, why not let him win a few more games?"
"Let me ask you one more question. Who do you think most doesn't want the Third Prince to keep winning?"
"Prince?" Shen Wan's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but blurt out.
Xie Mubai smiled and nodded, a barely perceptible chill flashing across his eyes: "The Crown Prince is definitely not a simple person, otherwise he wouldn't have sat in that position for so many years."
"The Third Prince is now too popular and has a huge following among the people, posing a huge threat to the Crown Prince's position."
"So even if we don't take action, he will definitely take action."
"By the way, I have already told someone to inform the Crown Prince about the Third Prince's affair with Tuoba Yu."
After Shen Wan heard this, she couldn't help but suddenly realized.
I have to say, the villain is smart.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
When the two brothers have fought each other to the death, the villain will take the opportunity to take action.
"Can the prince find evidence?" Shen Wan thought about it and asked worriedly.
The villain said that he had ordered people to search the Third Prince's mansion inside and out, but still found nothing.
If he can't do it, how can the prince do it?
She was deeply skeptical about this.
"The prince is different from us." Xie Mubai smiled meaningfully upon hearing this. "The evidence we find must be true. After all, we have to give an explanation to the people."
"But the Crown Prince is different. He only needs to overthrow the Third Prince."
"As long as he can successfully ascend the throne and hold great power, why should he be afraid of what the people say?"
Shen Wan nodded, not quite understanding.
Seeing that she still didn't quite understand, Xie Mubai smiled and hugged her in his arms.
"In a word, the Third Prince won the battle, which is a good thing!" He kissed her smooth forehead and said with a smile.
This is indeed a good thing!
After learning that the third prince had won several battles in a row, the usually patient prince lost his patience.
Now, the only one who has a say in front of the dog emperor is the old tutor.
But the old tutor did not want to get involved in the fight for the throne, so he simply closed the door and refused to see anyone.
At this moment, the prince "accidentally" learned that the third prince was having an affair with Tuoba Yu.
He was overjoyed and soon "searched" the evidence of the third prince's treason in his residence.
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was so angry that his eyes went dark and he fainted.
hateful!
The letters between him and Tuoba Yu were not hidden in the mansion at all. There was no way that bastard prince could find them.
But what if it’s fake?
The Dog Emperor is a very suspicious person, and now that he holds the military power in his hands, he will definitely not be at ease.
Sure enough, after seeing those letters, the dog emperor sent a trusted eunuch to serve as military supervisor.
The third prince is not someone to be trifled with.
Ever since the military supervisor arrived, he has been keeping his troops in place and refusing to go to war, citing poor health as an excuse.
He wasn't lying anyway.
His current physical condition would be easily broken by the slightest breeze.
If it weren't for the medicine, let alone marching and fighting, even daily life would have been a problem.
Coincidentally, the eunuch was not a good person either. Seeing that the emperor did not take any action, he frantically wrote letters to the dog emperor, insulting and slandering the third prince in various ways, and he almost wrote directly that he was going to rebel.
Perhaps having discovered their internal conflicts, Tuoba Yu took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have advanced weapons. The explosives in his hand are not just for decoration.
Soon, Tuoba Yu won several more battles.
In an instant, the Wei army's original advantages disappeared and it fell into an extremely passive situation.
After receiving this news, Shen Wan was surprised: "The Third Prince did this, isn't he afraid that the dog emperor will suspect that he wants to gain power?"
"He originally wanted to maintain his own power." Xie Mubai sneered, "Otherwise, why would he drag his sickly body to the front lines?"
To be honest, he really hoped that the Third Prince could win a few more battles.
On the one hand, it can completely destroy the weak body of the Third Prince, and on the other hand, it can consume the strength of the foreign countries.
After the recent battles, Xie Mubai had to look at Tuoba Yu with new respect.
I have to admit that the other party is a military genius.
He was able to fight a battle like this even though the enemy had advanced weapons. I guess there are not many people in the world who can do that.
Xie Mubai was thinking about Tuoba Yu, but Shen Wan was thinking about another question: "Where do you think the letters from the Third Prince are hidden?"
