Chapter 67 Favoritism
After a pause, the old man continued, "It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight! I'll take my leave today, and we'll fight again when we have the chance..."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them used their Qigong skills and flew away like two inseparable birds.
Huo Yuchen watched the two people leaving and fell into deep thought.
"I didn't expect that Prince Chang would have such a master protecting him."
It seems that he still underestimated the strength of King Chang.
If you want to successfully assassinate King Chang, you must first get rid of these two old men.
Otherwise, with these two people protecting him every step of the way, it would have been impossible for the assassination to succeed.
I have to plan carefully in the future.
Huo Yuchen withdrew his thoughts and turned to engage in a new round of fighting.
Since he cleared a large amount of toxins from his body, he could fully display his kung fu.
Among the younger generation, Kung Fu is definitely the best.
Few can be his rival.
Huo Yuchen leaped and leaped through the crowd, quickly taking the lives of Prince Chang's guards.
In just half an hour, he alone had taken dozens of lives.
Killing people is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
Another hour passed before the fighting finally ended.
More than twenty of the more than one hundred Black Cloud Guards brought by Huo Yuchen were injured, but their injuries were not serious.
As long as you get good treatment and rest in the future, you will recover quickly.
The more than 300 people on King Chang's side were almost slaughtered.
The ground was littered with corpses and blood.
The strong smell of blood kept floating in the air.
Only a small number of people protected Prince Chang and Prince Duan and fled back to the camp.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Huo Yuchen discovered another huge secret.
Among those killed by Prince Chang, more than twenty of them were royal secret guards.
If it weren't for their desperate efforts to stop him, King Chang would never have been able to escape so smoothly.
This is a remarkable discovery.
Looking at these royal secret guards, Huo Yuchen's brows were tightly furrowed and his expression was very ugly.
"I didn't expect that my father really cares about Prince Chang!"
"They actually sent so many royal guards to protect him."
"Grandfather Emperor had clear regulations regarding the Imperial Guards, but Father Emperor disobeyed them and treated Prince Chang so kindly."
"Grandfather Emperor has clearly stipulated that ordinary princesses have three royal secret guards; legitimate princesses have six royal secret guards; ordinary princes have six royal secret guards; legitimate princes have ten royal secret guards; and the crown prince has twenty royal secret guards."
"And the number of Prince Chang's royal secret guards actually exceeds the prince's regulations. This is simply ridiculous!"
After saying this, Huo Yuchen clenched his fists in anger, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
Baili Qingyun patted his shoulder and said kindly, "You know how much Emperor Wu of Qin dotes on Concubine Li. That's absolutely one-of-a-kind true love!"
"He has reached the point of completely obeying Concubine Li's every word."
"Although Emperor Wu of Qin loved beauties and was often surrounded by them, no beauty could surpass Concubine Li."
"Emperor Wu of Qin, who loves novelty and dislikes old things, has remained devoted to Concubine Li for over twenty years."
"This is one-of-a-kind!"
"Then, isn't it obvious that Emperor Wu of Qin trusted and doted on the two sons born to Concubine Li more?"
Huo Yuchen still couldn't let it go, "The emperor favors the three of them, mother and son. I've seen it all over the years."
"It's just... I didn't expect that he would be so biased."
"Father must have seen Prince Chang and his men's evil ambitions. He gave them so many secret royal guards, but didn't he think about who Prince Chang would use them against?"
"That only means that my father doesn't care about me at all, and doesn't care at all..."
"We killed twenty or thirty Royal Secret Guards just this time. There must be more around Prince Chang who he hasn't brought out. So, there are probably at least fifty or sixty of them around Prince Chang, which is ten times the stipulated number."
"Father is so willing to give it up!"
The more Huo Yuchen spoke, the more desolate he felt. It was as if there was a big hole in his heart and he was in great pain.
"My mother was once extremely favored by my father, but after the Imperial Concubine Li came into being, everything changed beyond recognition, and my father forgot about her."
"Just thinking about this makes me feel incredibly disgusted. I really want to destroy it all and let Father feel the heart-wrenching pain and the tearing of his lungs."
“It’s going to be wonderful!”
"I swear, I will take back everything that King Chang has. If I can't take it back, I will destroy it all!"
"I will make sure that everything my father has done comes to nothing!"
Baili Qingyun could understand very well the grievances, injustices and cold treatment that Huo Yuchen had suffered over the years, and could also sympathize with his pain and unwillingness.
"Since you've already seen it clearly, why take it to heart?"
"Wouldn't that just add to your troubles?"
"No matter how many royal guards Prince Chang has, they will eventually be killed off. At worst, we can just kill them a few more times and they will all be gone."
"I don't believe your father would send the royal guards to him endlessly."
"Besides, Royal Secret Guards are extremely difficult to train, and their numbers are limited. What are you worried about?"
"I just took a look and Prince Duan is only accompanied by about three or four royal secret guards. It seems that your father seems to favor Prince Chang more!"
"Perhaps, even Prince Duan himself doesn't know about the Royal Secret Guards?"
"Emperor Wu of Qin and Prince Chang must have kept this a secret from Prince Duan, so not a single word of it leaked out."
"We can find a way to reveal this news to Prince Duan."
"Perhaps, it will sow a seed of doubt between the brothers and have an unexpected effect!"
"I absolutely believe that there will be a rift between the brothers."
"The more grudges there are, the bigger the rift between the two people will be, and they will no longer work together and be of one mind."
"It's also easier for us to defeat them one by one..."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Huo Yuchen nodded and chuckled, "From the perspective of outsiders, Prince Duan and Prince Chang have a very good relationship, and Prince Chang follows Prince Duan's lead."
"But I always feel that with Prince Chang's eccentric and strong-willed personality, it would be difficult for him to be inferior to others."
"On the surface, he appears to be extremely respectful of this elder brother. Is there any element of falsehood in this?"
Baili Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Maybe! Let's observe it a little longer."
"If you separate them a few more times, won't you be able to see more clearly?"
"It's indeed a good idea!" Huo Yuchen also agreed very much.
Baili Qingyun seemed to have suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Let's clean up the battlefield quickly and go back to rest!"
"If you keep dawdling, it will be dawn soon!"
"Prince Duan was seriously injured by me!"
