Chapter 490: Desire for Power



Perhaps it is the butterfly effect of Zhou Lai's time travel, the Wu Dynasty royal family in this world is slightly different from the original novel of The Son-in-Law.

The biggest difference is the age of the current emperor Zhou Zhe. In this world, Zhou Zhe is in his prime and has two legitimate sons. The eldest son has been made the crown prince, and the second son is the King of Qin Zhou Lai.

"It's indeed easier to chat with you than with those natives..."

A smile appeared on the King of Qin's face, and it looked like he had been holding it in for a long time.

Laying out a plan so ingenious that no one can discover it, but being unable to tell anyone, this frustrating feeling is no different from walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.

Now that Ning Yi asked, King Qin felt that everything was under control, and could not help but tell Ning Yi.

"...Li Heng's guess is still a little off. The tea set is indeed made of silver, but part of the lining of the teapot is lead. The prince has been drinking tea from this teapot for more than a year, and now he has developed symptoms of headaches, fatigue, and forgetfulness."

"I believe that before long, my father will depose him from the crown prince position and make me the crown prince instead."

At this point, King Qin couldn't help but sigh: "Of course, this is the result that I most hope to see."

"After all, the prince and I are born of the same mother and are related by blood. Although there is no family affection in the royal family, if possible, I still want to spare his life..."

Ning Yi bowed and said, "Your Highness is kind and righteous. Ning Yi admires you."

The King of Qin glanced at him and said, "Stop mocking me. Show your attitude. And the three time travelers beside you, I hope you can all stand on the side of the King of Qin's Palace. When I ascend the throne, you will all be my loyal subjects. Isn't it better for everyone to share the glory and wealth than to rebel?"

As he said this, the King of Qin smiled and said, "Think about Jiangning. I just flapped my wings in the capital and set off a huge wave outside Jiangning City."

"Isn't such power more attractive than personal force?"

Ning Yi recalled what he had seen and heard in the Transmigrator Alliance and shook his head, "That's not necessarily true."

King Qin frowned and said, "I heard that Li Yun, the 'Liaoyuan Spear', and Zuo Yu, the 'Blood Prince', disappeared near Huzhou. The only one left with you is Ye Zixun, the 'Thunderbolt'... Where are the others?"

"Here it is, Your Highness the Prince of Qin!"

The casual words came from the front of the carriage.

……What?!

The King of Qin was suddenly startled, realizing that Ye Zixun had actually sneaked into his motorcade and even replaced the coachman silently.

In front of the carriage, Ye Zixun grabbed the reins, glanced at the cavalry guards around him who were unaware of him, and chuckled, transmitting his voice into the carriage.

"Mr. Zhou, I have to admit that you are indeed ambitious and resourceful, but you still did some wrong things..."

Although in the eyes of King Qin, the test of Ning Yi was just a trivial matter, Ning Yi is now an official member of the alliance. King Qin's action against Ning Yi is a provocation to the Time Travelers' Alliance.

Having said this, Ye Zixun paused and said softly: "Since he has admitted it, then fourth brother, tell me how to punish him..."

The King of Qin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he flew into a rage: "How dare you to plot to assassinate the King of Qin?!"

The angry and deliberately loud voice hit the invisible barrier outside the carriage and then bounced back. None of the more than a hundred guards guarding the carriage could hear the King of Qin's cry for help.

Ye Zixun curled his lips and said, "Stupid."

Ning Yi shook his head and said, "No, this is not stupidity, it's just a simple obstacle to knowledge and understanding!"

Hearing the two people talking as if no one was around, King Qin's heart began to pound and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly.

But he quickly calmed down and looked at Ning Yi coldly.

"…What exactly do you want to do?"

Ning Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, actually. I don't really care about the Liangshan bandits' assassination on the river, but Third Brother thinks you are provoking them, so you probably have to pay some price to regain your qualification."

"...Qualifications, what qualifications?"

King Zhou Lai of Qin quickly captured the key words in Ning Yi's words.

Ning Yi smiled and said nothing. He just pulled out the platinum pistol from his arms and pointed it at King Qin.

King Qin was suddenly shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at the epoch-making technological product in disbelief.

"This...this is...how is this possible?!"

Ning Yi shook his head and said, "You haven't even found out where the name of Thunderbolt came from, yet you dare to invite me to ride in the carriage without searching me. I really don't know whether to say you are confident or arrogant..."

"Pistol... this is impossible... this is absolutely impossible!"

King Qin stared blankly at the platinum-colored M1911, muttering to himself with a look of disbelief on his face.

Ye Zixun thought about it and said excitedly: "Fourth brother, I thought about it. Since this kid thinks that power is stronger than personal force, why don't we go into the palace and show him!"

Ning Yi was shocked: "This... is too outrageous, isn't it?"

Ye Zixun said indifferently: "What's the big deal? I've just asked Boss Lin, and he told us to do it at our convenience. It just so happens that I'm a little tired of playing the role of a peerless master in this world. It's time to change my identity and show what real power is!"

...Boss Lin?

Isn’t the boss of the Three Heroes of Tiannan surnamed Li?

Cold sweat broke out on the King of Qin's forehead, and he realized in his heart that he had misjudged the situation.

Ning Yi shook his head and said, "Third brother, you know me well. I don't actually want to be an emperor or a leader."

Ye Zixun was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Yes, so this boy's identity is actually quite suitable. Although he is a bit arrogant, if he has seen it, he should hide his desire for power."

"What a pity! He should never, ever, ever attack you."

"I'm in a dilemma now... How about you give me some advice?"

After the words fell, the atmosphere in the carriage fell into silence.

King Qin looked at Ning Yi and the pistol in his hand in silence, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Ning Yi looked at the unwillingness in his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Dethrone him from the throne of King Qin!"

Ye Zixun readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go talk to the emperor. It just so happens that there's the matter of the silver pot, so it's legitimate..."

King Qin was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stood up and said, "Brother Ye, Brother Ye, don't be anxious. We are all time travelers. If there is anything we can't sit down and discuss it properly, why bother forcing each other? I can apologize to Brother Ning!"

King Qin turned to look at Ning Yi and said sincerely, "Brother Ning, I was indeed wrong about Jiang Ning. I can apologize to you. Besides, I am now fully grown and Prime Minister Qin also supports me secretly. Even if you don't want to help me, we are still a family... If you don't believe me, go ask Prime Minister Qin!"

To be honest, if it was just Ye Zixun's threat of force, Zhou Lai wouldn't be so panicked.

But Ning Yi actually took out a pistol that was obviously new to his time, which completely confused him.

For a moment, all kinds of speculations came into his mind.

Including but not limited to European and American civilization, the Industrial Revolution, and even the main god space and reincarnation...

Zhou Lai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at the silent Ning Yi, feeling uneasy.

Ning Yi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Actually, I don't really care about that ambush, but since Third Brother insists, I still have to do what I have to do... Third Brother, you guys go to the palace!"

Zhou Lai's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Ye Zixun smiled and said, "What about you?"

Ning Yi shook his head and said, "I won't go."

Ye Zixun nodded and then waved his hand.

In an instant, densely packed silver swords appeared around the carriage.

The hundred or so guards who were guarding the carriage were shocked when they saw this scene and quickly drew their swords.

The next second, sword light flashed, and countless muffled sounds rang out almost at the same time. All the armored guards were hit on the back of the head by the hilt of the sword. Their eyes rolled back, and they staggered to the ground unconscious.

The curtain of the carriage was drawn, Ning Yi stepped out of the carriage, stuffed the pistol into his arms, stepped over the unconscious guard at his feet and walked towards the prime minister's residence.

King Qin Zhou Lai also wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but before he could step out of the carriage, a flying sword flashing with cold light appeared in front of him, forcing him to sit back again.

This is... a flying sword? !

King Qin Zhou Lai's face was filled with shock and astonishment. His worldview, which had already been shattered by the impact of the pistol, was crushed into powder again.

...Who on earth are these people?!

How come it is completely different from the novels he read in his previous life?

It has to be said that Zhou Lai's psychological quality is far beyond that of ordinary people to be able to get to this point.

He quickly accepted the reality, looked at the flying sword with a pale face, and whispered: "What on earth do you want to do?!"

Ye Zixun's voice with a hint of laughter came from the front of the carriage: "Nothing, just showing you what real power is."

In a remote alley, more than a hundred unconscious armored guards were lying in a mess. A carriage representing the Qin Palace ran over the armored soldiers, drove out of the alley, turned a corner, and drove towards the tall palace wall not far away.

The setting sun casts a golden glow through the gaps between the trees.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street and the atmosphere was quite quiet.

This made the scream of the woman not far away seem particularly harsh.

Ye Zixun frowned, turned the carriage and drove towards the direction where the sound came from.

When I turned the corner, I saw the scene of a young villain bullying a good father and daughter.

The young man in gorgeous clothes was chasing a young woman wearing a headscarf with several servants. The woman looked poorly dressed and did not come from a wealthy family. Several servants reached out to stop the woman who wanted to escape within an area and let the young man chase her for fun.

"who is he?"

The flying sword lifted the curtain, allowing Zhou Lai to see the young man with a hideous appearance and a shrill laughter.

Zhou Lai said with a pale face: "He is the young master of the Taiwei Mansion, the son of Gao Qiu, the Huahua Taisui, Gao Muen."

"So it was this beast." Ye Zixun frowned and said, "You've been in the capital for so long, and you didn't even kill this guy?"

"I've only been in this world for two and a half years... Besides, Gao Qiu is on my side."

Zhou Lai hesitated and said softly, "But don't worry, I will definitely kill Gao Muen. When I become the crown prince..."

The daylily is cold!

Ye Zixun shook his head, waved his hand, the sword flashed, and instantly cut off the head of Huahua Taisui who was dozens of meters away.
