Right now, he probably belongs to the area outside Shangjing City. If the prince dares to touch him in the palace now, then those troops will directly break through Shangjing City, and then no one will be able to sit on the throne safely.
Xu Tianze raised his eyebrows and handed the remaining melon seeds in his hand to Meng Qi. He knew that neither of these two guys was simple. Fortunately, he made it clear at the beginning that he had no interest in the throne.
Otherwise, if all these trump cards were revealed one after another and used against him together, he might be killed right here in the palace. In that case, he really wouldn't know how to drag the entire Gan Kingdom down with him.
Monchi was also terrified as he listened to this. He was originally a witness, but now it seemed that no matter who sat on the throne, he would probably not have a good ending. After all, he had offended these two lunatics.
Even the person who subconsciously handed him the melon seeds now had real murderous intentions towards him. When Monkie accepted the order from Emperor Gan, he really didn't expect that he would end up in this situation. For a while, he even wanted to give up.
The prince had no time to pay attention to Xu Tianze and Monkie. He was still racking his brains and continuing to compete with Long Muse. He didn't expect that Long Muse actually thought the same as he did in this regard.
The only difference is that Long Musi planned to use the chaos outside the city to gain the upper hand, while he wanted to trap everyone in the palace.
"My royal brother is still so confident. I just don't know if I kill you in this palace. Will those troops outside the city obey you or me?" The prince narrowed his eyes and his tone gradually showed murderous intent.
In his opinion, to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. As long as the leader, Long Muse, dies, no matter what arrangements Long Muse makes outside the palace, they will all fail in the end, and will only benefit him, Long Muwang.
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible to accomplish the task. After all, the three thousand Dragon Scale Guards were all in the palace. As long as he gave the order, whether Xu Tianze or Long Musi lived or died would just be a matter of his words.
"Your Majesty, you can give it a try. I just don't know if after your Majesty kills this king, will the army outside the palace directly charge into Shangjing City, or will they obey your orders?"
Xu Tianze propped his head up, looked at Long Muse, and then at the prince. Suddenly, he felt a little bored. These two people did nothing but talk big and talk nonsense.
He did not see the so-called three thousand dragon scale guards, nor did he see the one thousand assassins of Long Muse in the palace, not to mention the various arrangements outside the palace, which was even more impossible for him to see.
In addition, Long Qingyi had not shown up, which made Xu Tianze a little annoyed. He impatiently turned the incense burner over again.
"I say, can you two come up with some real combat? What's the point of just talking nonsense here?" After saying that, Xu Tianze stood up, stretched, and prepared to leave.
"What Aze said is true. I never thought that the Crown Prince and the Royal Brother would be so refined."
As the sound rang out, a man walked in from outside the door, clapping as he walked.
"Long Mujiang, you are still alive?!" The prince exclaimed in surprise, and his face became solemn for a moment.
Long Musi standing aside also had a solemn look on his face, with a gleam in his eyes. He had never expected that he would make such a big mistake.
Apart from these two people, Xu Tianze and Monkie were not surprised at all.
Needless to say, Xu Tianze understood everything when he heard the conversation between Long Mujiang and the ghost doctor a few days ago.
And Monk himself was a loyal subordinate left by Emperor Gan to Long Mujiang. Naturally, he had always known that Long Mujiang was still alive. Maybe he had already helped Long Mujiang deal with many things in secret.
However, apart from being indifferent, Xu Tianze also had a wicked smile on his face. In his opinion, the real show was about to begin, and he was ready to drag everyone to hell.
Long Musi and the prince exchanged a glance, then shouted in unison, "Do it."
However, after the two of them shouted, there was no sound for a long time. Instead, the entire Qianqing Palace fell silent. From this silence, the two of them knew that they had fallen into Long Mujiang's trap.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
After a long moment, Long Mujiang burst into laughter, then looked at the Crown Prince with a mocking expression: "Your Highness, are you calling your three thousand Dragon Scale Guards?"
Seeing the prince's frustrated and red face, Long Mujiang nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Long Musi, who also had a grim expression: "Royal brother, are you waiting for your thousand assassins?"
Without waiting for Long Musi to answer, Long Mujiang started talking to himself.
"You two are quite cunning. You are just talking nonsense in this hall, but outside, the Dragon Scale Guards and assassins have already been fighting each other. Even the army outside the city is in chaos."
Speaking of this, Long Mujiang couldn't help feeling apprehensive. He hadn't expected that the Crown Prince and Long Musi would be so insidious as to reach such an incredible level.
Long Musi had planted a lot of people in the prince's army, and the spies had even become the prince's confidants. Even so, Long Musi endured it until both of them arrived at the palace before he started to make trouble.
The prince was no less capable. Long Muse planted spies in the prince's army, so the prince retaliated by planting spies in Long Muse's army. Even Long San, who had been with Long Muse for many years, was the prince's man.
If it weren't for the fact that he, Long Mujiang, had planted people in both armies, and the people he planted had always been cautious and prudent, neither taking sides nor showing up, but just observing secretly, he would not have learned such news.
Otherwise, just in terms of the military, Long Mujiang would be fooled by Long Muse and the prince.
Not to mention that both Long Muse and the prince have deployed a lot of people in this palace. The three thousand Dragon Scale Guards have been planning in the East Palace for a long time, and a thousand assassins are scattered throughout the palace. In addition to these, the prince and Long Muse have even bribed a lot of eunuchs and palace maids, waiting to take advantage of the chaos.
If he had not started making arrangements from the moment Emperor Gan passed away, and if he had not had the people Emperor Gan had left in the palace for many years to cooperate from inside and outside.
Just the chess pieces hidden in the dark by the two of them would give Long Mujiang a huge headache. If he is not careful, he will end up in trouble and die.
Fortunately, he won in the end, and now the lives of these people are in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Long Mujiang felt refreshed, with a smug smile on his face: "What a pity! No matter which side, no one won in the end. Because the fish and the clams were fighting, I, the fisherman, benefited. Your Highness, my royal brother, what do you think is right or wrong?"
