Chapter 461 The Most Risky Plan
Yun Qimu and the others were happily making barbecue, but Wu Xingyu was not having a good time.
Although Commander Abed controlled the border army and had a firm grip on the border star's star stations and border lines without any omissions, he could no longer fully control the base. After all, he had just officially taken over the border army and purged all the personnel planted by the upper echelons, but he had not yet had time to clean up the base.
The entire base is populated by people of all ages, including border troops, family members and other staff. It is impossible to investigate all of the millions of people from top to bottom at once. This gives the small fish and shrimps mixed in an opportunity to tip off the enemy.
If Wu Xingyu and his group had come quietly or followed Abed's arrangements to enter the base, they would not have been discovered so quickly, but they just walked in openly through the base gate.
Wu Xingyu's silver hair is so dazzling. Everyone in the empire knows what silver hair represents.
Of course, some people speculate that he dyed his hair. After all, there are many dandy aristocrats who are eccentric and do all kinds of weird things to attract attention.
There was once a young nobleman who was so desperate to be the best that he dyed his hair silver and claimed that he was a descendant of the royal family. Unexpectedly, he really made a big fuss about it. Not only did it spread across the Star Network and became a hot search, but later the entire empire was shocked by it.
The royal family even sent people to verify the authenticity, but it turned out that he was a daring liar.
In the end, he was brought to the interstellar court on charges of deceiving the royal family, tarnishing the image of the imperial royal family, and wasting public resources. He was sentenced to transform the planet into a garbage planet for thirty years and has not returned yet.
Thus, this noisy and sensational "royal bloodline" incident ended with a result that everyone sighed.
After this incident, more people dyed their hair silver. However, with the previous lesson learned, those who came later did not dare to be so stupid. They only dared to dye their hair silver to show off, but no one dared to say that they were the blood of the royal family who were lost outside.
So they guessed that Wu Xingyu might also be a small noble who was eccentric and liked to show off.
It was not until they heard the people around him call him "His Royal Highness the Third Prince" that they came to their senses and looked shocked.
Who else could be called "His Royal Highness the Third Prince" but Offley Lancaster, the third prince of the royal family.
The appearance of the silver-haired Third Prince instantly caused an uproar in the base.
Some say that the Third Prince dyed his hair silver on purpose, while others say that the Third Prince has truly awakened the royal genetic supernatural powers. There are many different opinions, but that does not prevent the people who are planted among them from leaking the information.
Not only the people of the eldest prince and the second prince, but also their maternal families, the Garcia family and the Lopez family, and other powerful families in the border army also received the news.
As a result, all the major families in the empire sent people from all directions to the border to investigate the situation.
Regardless of whether the person who appeared was the real Third Prince or whether the Third Prince had awakened the time ability, they had to investigate, because this was the key to determining who they would support to take the throne in the future.
Recently, the eldest prince and the second prince have been fighting each other and both have suffered heavy losses. It is still unknown who will truly take the throne. Many families are waiting and watching. The return of the silver-haired third prince has undoubtedly become a drop of hot oil in this stagnant pool, stirring up the entire upper class of the empire into turmoil again.
This was also what Wu Xingyu and the others had expected.
After discussion, Yun Qichen, Jin Mingjin, Hua Mingfei and others decided to expose Wu Xingyu's return to the eyes of all capable families from the very beginning.
The families that can place spies in the border army are undoubtedly powerful forces in the empire, or families that have the ability to hide very deeply. Wu Xingyu's strong return this time is to play the long game and catch the big fish, and obtain the letters of allegiance from these people.
This way, when Wu Xingyu actually returns to the Imperial Saint Roya, things will be smoother, because someone has already paved the way for him.
This is the riskiest plan, but it is undoubtedly the quickest way to gather people's hearts.
Wu Xingyu has both courage and strength, so he is naturally not afraid of the risk, so he decisively decided to choose this plan.
This plan was also very successful. Wu Xingyu soon received many overt and covert temptations, and several families who acted decisively chose to join him.
The plan was going smoothly, but what he didn't expect was that the Garcia family behind the eldest prince and the Lopez family behind the second prince were also crazy enough to have their eyes on him.
Not only did these two families show goodwill to him, they also offered him "sincerity".
The girl from the Garcia family was named Lorraine Garcia. She had red lips and white teeth, was delicate and weak, and knew how to act like a spoiled child. She was the candidate for marriage specially cultivated by the Garcia family.
The Lopez family's daughter is a spoiled young lady named Salina Lopez. She has a completely different temperament from the girl from Garcia. She is dressed in a fiery red dress and has a bright and flamboyant appearance. She came the day after Wu Xingyu settled on the border planet, arriving at the same time as Lorena Garcia, and she asked to see Wu Xingyu as soon as she arrived.
The eldest lady looked like she was giving alms, and acted condescendingly as if she was more noble than the third prince Wu Xingyu.
And Salina Lopez obviously thought so too, because Wu Xingyu's mother was just a small slave, and half of his blood belonged to a lowly maid.
Even though he was a prince, she still looked down on him because of his bloodline.
In addition, the head of the Lopez family was more obvious than the Garcia family. He also hinted to Wu Xingyu that as long as he married Salina as his wife, the Lopez family would fully support him to sit on the position of crown prince.
It is obvious that the head of the Lopez family is dissatisfied with the second prince's previous actions of hiding his hands and causing heavy losses to the Lopez family.
As for whether he really wanted to give up the Second Prince and join Wu Xingyu, Wu Xingyu was too lazy to guess, because he hated the Lopez family's duplicity and corruption, and he hated even more the woman, Salina Lopez, who always bossed him around.
Of course, he also didn't like Lorraine Garcia, who was so delicate and weak and wanted to stick to him. He even hated her more than Salina.
With the entanglement of these two women who could not be driven away and were always looking for opportunities to block him, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who should have been full of vigor and vitality, did not even want to leave the house.
Yun Qichen, his future brother-in-law, was actually gloating over his misfortune and urging him to have more contact with those two women, which made Wu Xingyu feel even more suffocated.
This delayed his two-day plan of resting at the base for another day. It was not until the early morning of the fourth day when everything was quiet that they quietly left the border planet and headed for Saint Roya.
