1066 Cruel, open and aboveboard calculation

The Third Prince was very shrewd. He gave his people to the Ninth Prince's Uncle. The Ninth Prince's uncle's strength increased greatly. By then, even if he did not take action against the Emperor, the Emperor would no longer be able to tolerate him.

The conflict between the Ninth Prince and the Emperor is irreconcilable. All he has to do is add fuel to the fire and make the conflict between the Ninth Prince and the Emperor more and more intense.

As for Lan Jiuqing who stole his map of Jiuzhou?

The Third Prince sneered. Lan Jiuqing played an indispensable role in Dong Lingjiu's discovery of his hiding place so quickly. The Third Prince never showed mercy to those who betrayed him, and his secret was related to Lan Jiuqing.

Whether it is the relationship between master and servant, brothers or men and women, there is no relationship that cannot be broken. In the face of big enough interests, even the closest people can turn against each other.

Even if there is a connection between the Ninth Prince and Lan Jiuqing, the Third Prince is sure to make them enemies...

"Ninth brother, do you know the map of Kyushu?" The Third Prince said in a pretentious manner, his slightly raised chin showing his pride at the moment.

The Ninth Prince was startled and nodded: "I have heard of it, but never seen it." Never reveal your trump card to your enemy, even if that enemy is about to die.

It's good that you've never seen it. If you had seen it, you would know how I feel superior.

The Third Prince said proudly, "The Jiuzhou Map is a secret treasure of the royal family of the previous dynasty. It is normal that you have never seen it. It was only by chance that I learned of the existence of the Jiuzhou Map. It is said that this Jiuzhou Map is related to a batch of treasures left by the previous dynasty. If you can get this batch of treasures, it can be said to be like adding wings to a tiger. By then, let alone Dongling, it is not impossible to unify the Jiuzhou continent and reproduce the prosperity of the Lan family."

The Third Prince's words are very inciting to an ambitious person. The wealth accumulated by the previous dynasty over a thousand years and hundreds of generations should never be underestimated.

This is why people still collect maps of Kyushu even though they know it is difficult to collect them all. As long as they get that collection, it will be just a matter of time before they rule the world.

"Although the map of Kyushu is good, it's a pity that I don't know where to find it." The Ninth Prince was slightly moved, and then sighed with regret.

The Third Prince turned his head away and revealed a mocking sneer: No matter how aloof and cold-hearted he is, he is still moved.

It is true that money can move people's hearts.

Although he was disdainful, the Third Prince pretended to be concerned about his Ninth Uncle and consoled him kindly, "Don't be discouraged, Ninth Brother. Since you have spoken out, it means that you know the whereabouts of the Kyushu map."

"Oh? If Third Prince knew, why didn't he go get it himself?" The Ninth Prince asked back. If it weren't for the brief emotion he showed before, the Third Prince would have suspected that the Ninth Prince was not interested at all.

Of course, this is in line with the impression that the Ninth Uncle has in the Third Prince's mind.

The Third Prince smiled bitterly and said earnestly, "How do you know that I didn't go looking for you, my ninth brother? You don't know, there are nine maps of Kyushu in total. Even though I have been asking around for them over the years, I have only found the whereabouts of three of them."

"Three? My royal brother is really capable. He actually found three of them. I wonder where these three maps are?" Although the Ninth Prince really wanted to know, he did not show it on his face. His tone was calm and without any fluctuation.

Since the Third Prince has spoken, he will tell it without him asking.

Hypocrisy, the Third Prince commented in his heart.

"Anyone who possesses the Kyushu map in this world is not a simple person. Logically, the Kyushu map should be owned by people like me from the royal family, but the three maps I know of are all related to the martial arts world." The Third Prince kept it a secret, and the Ninth Prince was not in a hurry. If the Third Prince didn't say anything, the Ninth Prince didn't urge him...

Although this place is not far from the imperial city, to the Ninth Prince, as long as he is not in front of the Emperor, he is far away and has the final say in everything. He can afford to waste time.

The Third Prince waited and waited, but the Ninth Prince did not ask any more questions, so he could only answer himself: "Of these three maps, one is in the Demon Cult, one is in the Killer Alliance, and the other one..."

The Third Prince paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "There was another map that was originally in my hands, but I met a chivalrous man named Lan Jiuqing, and he took the map away. If you had come earlier, I could have given you the map in your hand, but you are not destined to have the Kyushu map."

The Third Prince's insidiousness can be seen from here. He didn't say much about Lan Jiuqing, but only pointed out that the map of Jiuzhou was in Lan Jiuqing's hands. When the Ninth Prince wanted to collect all the maps of Jiuzhou, he would definitely confront Lan Jiuqing, especially since the Third Prince added: "Ninth brother, if my brother is not wrong, then Lan Jiuqing is a descendant of the Lan family of the previous dynasty. He definitely has more than one map of Jiuzhou in his hands."

"Third brother, what you said makes sense." The Ninth Uncle nodded, and showed sympathy in his eyes where the Third Prince couldn't see.

The Third Prince's move was indeed insidious. If the Ninth Prince and Lan Jiuqing were not the same person, then even if he knew it was a trap, the Ninth Prince would have jumped into it. The complexity of the Kyushu map is too huge.

His third brother is really not a man who can accomplish great things. He wanted to plot against him but didn't investigate it thoroughly. He is really hateful and pitiful...

After getting the information he wanted, the Ninth Uncle did not say much to the Third Prince, and reminded him: "Brother, I will accept your favor regarding the Kyushu map, but the transaction must continue."

The Ninth Prince was never a talkative person, and certainly would not reveal some issues that should not be revealed just because the Third Prince was about to die.

Sometimes, even the dead cannot keep secrets, and the best way is to never tell a secret. Besides, as a younger brother, he certainly wants the Third Prince to die in peace. If the Third Prince knew that all his painstaking planning before his death was in vain in the end, wouldn't he die with regrets?

In order to let his brother rest in peace, the Ninth Prince was very "kind" and asked the Third Prince to make a plan, which made the Third Prince secretly proud.

The Third Prince was happy, thinking that his evil plan had succeeded. This way, even if he died, he could drag someone else down with him, and his enemies would never have peace.

Thinking of this, although the Third Prince was reluctant, he still gave the military token to the Ninth Uncle: "Ninth brother, the emperor has completed the transaction."

The Third Prince's tone was filled with undisguised disappointment. He had worked hard for nearly thirty years and saw success right before his eyes, but it vanished in an instant. If he hadn't known that he would not live long, he would have been so angry that he vomited blood and died.

"Don't worry, your Majesty. I will do what I should do." After the Ninth Prince confirmed that the things were correct, he put them away.

"Royal brother, since you told me the news about the map of Kyushu, I will give you a choice. Do you choose to die here now, or die after meeting the emperor?" The struggle between the Third Prince and the Emperor has never been concealed, and the Ninth Prince is still looking forward to the meeting between the Third Prince and the Emperor.

"Meet the Emperor? Aren't you afraid that I will tell him about our deal and then sell you out?" The Third Prince said sarcastically.

He is not a gentleman. He does not feel guilty at all for selling the Ninth Prince to the Emperor. As a dying man, he does not ask for any benefit, but only for...

It would be best if the struggle between the Ninth Prince and the Emperor became more brutal, and both of them suffered losses, then he would be satisfied.
