Chapter 808: Ming Sha
North of the city, Prince An's Mansion.
An hour after leaving Zhuwu, Wei Changtian once again stepped into this very magnificent palace.
Unlike yesterday, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere in the palace today. Even the maids and servants who came and went kept their heads down, as if they dared not even breathe.
The reason for this is actually because Gongsun Yan will officially "announce" his participation in the fight for the throne today.
Of course, this isn't the presidential race of his previous life, where he still has to submit an application and stuff.
Even the word "announce" is a metaphor.
A more accurate statement would be that Gongsun Yan will deliberately leak the news today to let everyone know that he is ready to fight for the throne.
He is just a Wang from a businessman family.
Neither his surname is Lu, nor did he marry a woman with the surname Lu. It can be said that the entire Gongsun family has no blood connection with the Lu family.
Under such circumstances, Gongsun Yan's bid for the throne was undoubtedly against the law, and he was doomed to find it difficult to gain the support of the people.
But it doesn't matter.
For Gongsun Yan, Wei Changtian's support is enough.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian also did not expect Gongsun Yan to play much of a role in this great struggle.
All he wanted was for Gongsun Yan to raise a "flag" and not hold him back.
As for other things. To be honest, Gongsun Yan's identity, whether he can get the support of the people and the support of the court, none of the above is important.
Anyway, when all the competitors are dead, Prince An is the only candidate.
"Sir, from today on, my life is in your hands."
In the study, Wei Changtian was sitting and Gongsun Yan was standing, one had a calm expression and the other had a complicated look.
It can be seen that although Gongsun Yan decided to take this gamble, he was actually unsure.
But no matter whether he regrets it or not, it is impossible for him to retreat now.
"I have already called back more than a hundred experts from various places, including four third-grade experts and one second-grade expert."
"Although these people are not very strong, they are all loyal and may be able to lend a helping hand to you, young master."
"Oh, by the way, this is the information you asked me to look up earlier."
Gongsun Yan bowed and placed a stack of papers next to Wei Changtian, then returned to his original position.
Wei Changtian casually picked up the intelligence and said as he flipped through it, "You can keep those people to protect you."
"The people on Longshou Mountain will definitely try their best to take your life. I can't always protect you. You need to find a way on your own."
"Yes, I understand."
Gongsun Yan heard this and said sternly: "I will not give them any chance."
"Well, that's fine."
Wei Changtian nodded, but his eyes remained on the letter paper full of words in his hand.
This was the information he asked Gongsun Yan to compile about other "competitors" and the power these people held.
As mentioned before, since Lu Yuansong's death, there are only four people left who still intend to compete for the throne.
The eldest prince, Lu Yuanjin.
The third prince, Lu Yuanhong.
The wise king, Lu Tingzhen.
King Kang, Lü Xiangshan.
The first two are Lu Hongji’s sons, and the last two are Lu Hongji’s brothers.
The four of them all control considerable power, with the eldest prince Lu Yuanjin being the most powerful.
If Lu Yuansong hadn't died, he might have been able to compete with Lu Yuanjin.
But unfortunately, the former died "inexplicably", so in the eyes of most people, the winner of this battle would most likely be Lu Yuanjin.
"My Lord, who do you think should start with?"
Looking up, Wei Changtian suddenly asked Gongsun Yan: "Or, among these four people, who do you want to die first?"
"This is entirely up to you, young master."
Gongsun Yan hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "This is because the four of them are now very cautious and careful. Perhaps only the defense on King Kang's side is relatively loose."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian nodded without comment, and replied casually as if he was deciding what to eat tonight: "Okay, let's start with him."
"yes!"
Gongsun Yan's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked sternly, "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
"unnecessary."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and stood up: "Just follow the plan. I'm going to Prince Kang's Mansion now and will be back in about an hour."
“.”
With his eyes slightly widened, Gongsun Yan did not expect Wei Changtian to be so "decisive and swift" and actually want to kill someone right now.
"Sir, do we need to plan this matter further?"
"Need not."
Wei Changtian shook his head and interrupted with a half-smile: "Your Highness, I'm not bragging, but killing Lu Xiangshan really doesn't require any planning."
"Just wait at home. I'll be back soon."
"Squeak~"
Under Gongsun Yan's astonished gaze, Wei Changtian didn't say another word. He just pushed the door and left, and soon disappeared.
Looking at the rising sun outside, Gongsun Yan first thought that Wei Changtian was a little arrogant to kill people in broad daylight, but when he thought about what the latter had done on the battlefield in Xinfeng, he suddenly felt that it seemed quite normal. Indeed.
A mere Lu Xiangshan should really mean nothing to Master Wei.
After retracting his gaze, Gongsun Yan stood in the room for a moment, and then went to arrange the "raising the flag" matter.
Almost two quarters of an hour later, Wei Changtian was already standing outside the gate of another royal palace in the east of the city.
“Boom boom boom.”
He reached out and knocked on the copper ring on the vermilion door. Soon the door was pushed open a little, and a doorman poked his head out and asked, "Excuse me, sir, who are you?"
"An old friend of your Lord."
Wei Changtian asked with a smile: "I wonder if the prince is in the mansion now?"
"this."
The doorman was stunned for a moment, and did not answer the question. He just stared at Wei Changtian and asked again: "Sir, do you have a visiting card?"
"have."
Wei Changtian took out a business card from his bosom and handed it over, his lowered hand just holding the hilt of the sword at his waist.
However, the doorman did not notice his action. He was just opening the gold-embossed business card in his hand and looking at the name written on it.
Then the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened and the business card fell to the ground with a "thump".
"You, you."
His knees went weak and the doorman's mouth opened wide as if he had seen some monster.
"You, you are Wei Yanluo!"
"Yama?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Isn't it written on my name card? My name is Wei Changtian."
“.”
Looking at the smiling man opposite him, the doorman felt his brain go blank and his crotch suddenly became warm.
Wei Changtian didn't waste any more words with him. He pulled out Longquan with a "clang" and immediately stepped into Prince Kang's Palace.
"call!"
The invisible dragon-locking formation rose from the ground, and the golden sun above was dazzling.
During the day, without the obstruction of the magic array, I was still in the bustling market town.
If the last killing of Lu Yuansong was an "assassination", then this time Wei Changtian was blatantly "killing in the open".
There is no doubt that after this time, more people will guess his identity.
But this is exactly the effect Wei Changtian wanted.
