Volume 1, Chapter 159 The Attitude of the Emperor of Kyushu.
After learning about these events, especially the kidnapping of Dongfang Qingzhu.
Qi Qianqiu's brows were obviously furrowed even more tightly.
It is almost impossible to hide something from a saint.
Dongfang Shuo didn't even need to think to guess that it was not done by the King of the Northern Maniacs, so they were the only ones left.
Fortunately, although his men were stupid, they were not foolish, and Dongfang Qingzhu was not injured.
That's fine.
As for dealing with the Northern Rogue King...
He asked, "I wonder if the old Heavenly Master has come up with a new way to deal with the Northern Rogue King?"
"Brother Qi, please listen to the good news from me."
"Master, please."
Wang Changsheng straightened up and said, "The good news is that the Fourth Prince is still alive, and in Beimang."
"What?" Qi Qianqiu was no longer calm and stood up suddenly.
We have received the news long ago. Wasn't the Fourth Prince already silenced by the Northern Maniac King?
Why does it appear again now?
Qi Qianqiu knew that he had lost his composure and tried to calm himself down.
Muttering to himself.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
"What are you talking about, Brother Qi, what's the matter?"
He said in a deep voice: "When I came here just now, I saw Xu Ping'an hurriedly leaving the city. Now it seems that he must have gone to the Northern Man."
"Oh... this Xu boy is really quick."
Qi Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
No more words.
Wang Changsheng continued, "And Anzi said that the Fourth Prince seemed to know about the massacre of Yejia Village by the Northern Rogue King. Do you think this is good news?"
"In this case, it is indeed good news. We don't need to deal with the Northern Rogue King anymore. However, what will the old Heavenly Master do after the Fourth Prince?"
Wang Changsheng looked up at the sky, and then said in a deep voice: "Beiman's affairs are Beiman's affairs. The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince will die in Beiman together."
Qi Qianqiu was a man of such high status that he naturally knew what Wang Changsheng was referring to.
He whispered, "I heard that Chao Pavilion may produce a saint."
Wang Changsheng said: "Tiandao Academy can also produce a saint, and Feng Shanke will be able to break through today. If three saints appear at the same time, even if Xu Ping'an arrives, it will not change the outcome."
Qi Qianqiu frowned.
"I'm just afraid that old fellow Dongfang Shuo will take action."
"That's not necessary. He doesn't dare to go down the mountain. If he does, I will take action. Hahaha, let's go and have a drink with me to celebrate the victory in advance."
"That's best."
Wang Changsheng was very proud at this moment. According to his plan, his men only needed to kill the fourth prince.
As long as the Fourth Prince dies in Beimang, everything can be blamed on the King of Beimang.
But he didn't know that the scholar mentioned in the intelligence, the Ye family member and his group was actually the Fourth Prince.
Apparently, the Beimang people didn't say a word about this matter.
Fenghe is the key to all of this.
Whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince.
Feng He must die.
Just how to die.
King Beimang wants Fenghe to die outside Beimang City.
But this old guy from Tiandaoyuan wanted him to die in Beimang City.
Before this, the factional struggle between the eldest prince and the third prince had always been carried out in the dark.
There has never been a real fight.
These big shots need a reason to do anything.
Make it sound legitimate.
This way you won't give anyone a chance to criticize you.
That's why the blood sacrifice in Yecheng took place.
The purpose was to frame the Northern Maniac King.
Find a reason to take action.
But now the plan has failed.
But then a fourth prince appeared.
This gave both sides a reason to take action openly.
They don't need to care what the other person thinks.
All they have to do is show it to those who are watching.
The imperial palace at this time.
The commander of the imperial guards in golden armor hurried out of the palace.
He said loudly to the guards: "Gather the First Guard Battalion and follow me to Beimang immediately."
"promise!"
The man looked into the distance with a steady gaze.
"Don't worry, young lady. This time, no matter what, I will definitely protect your son."
This day.
The government and the people of Kyushu were shaken.
The news that the Fourth Prince had reappeared spread quickly throughout the court and the country.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Some people are even afraid.
In the Chao clan temple.
A young man hurried in.
He saluted to the five elders on the high hall and said, "Five Divine Elders, the news has been verified. It is indeed the Fourth Prince Chao Yi who appeared in Beimang. Moreover, His Majesty summoned the commander of the Imperial Guards today. He has led 10,000 cavalry out of the city and is heading straight to Beimang."
Hearing this, an old and deep voice sounded.
"Oh...so our emperor wants to bring Chao Yi back."
Then another voice echoed in the hall.
"Fifteen years ago, he was unwilling to send this child away. Now at this stage, our emperor will naturally not miss such an opportunity."
"Then what should we do? Should we intervene?"
"Third brother, what do you want? Do you really want to kill this boy? He is of our royal bloodline. Even if he is the fourth son, he still has the blood of the Chao family flowing in his bones."
"Brother, that's not what I meant."
"Alright, stop arguing. Let me ask you, has Wang Changsheng from Tiandaoyuan made any moves?"
The people in the audience heard this and said, "Reporting to the great god, today the head of Tingchao Pavilion came out of retreat and went to Tiandao Temple, and the two have not left yet."
"I understand. Please go down. If there is any new situation, please report to me at any time."
"promise......"
After that person left, one of the five old men said, "Brother, Wang Changsheng will definitely not ignore this. Why don't I go to Beimang?"
"Second brother, don't be impatient. This matter still needs to be considered carefully. As for Wang Changsheng, he is indeed a problem. If he makes a move, can you defeat him?"
"Even if we can't win, we have to fight. Our temple has always upheld the principle that the youngest son shall succeed to the throne. However, it is because of people like Wang Changsheng who have been inciting fratricide, causing our Chao clan's bloodline to weaken. Now, there are only 500 people in the entire clan, and only a few dozen of them can still reproduce. If this continues, when we are all dead, how will there be any successors?"
"Let's wait and see. Let's not worry about this matter for now. His Majesty sent Chao Yi away, so let him take him back. If he doesn't come back, it can only be said that this child is not lucky enough."
"But brother..."
"Don't talk about this anymore."
The storm is coming.
On this day, the sky over Kyushu suddenly became darker for unknown reasons.
The current emperor is lying on his bed, his eyes full of sorrow.
He sighed softly.
It is another cycle of fate, and the power struggle is about to begin among his sons.
Thirty years ago, he succeeded to the throne by stepping over the corpse of his third brother.
Now his eldest son is going to be like him.
As for Chao Yi, your father owes you.
I will return it to you personally, so that I can do my best to your mother.
