γFlag .γ, popular free reading!
Seeing that Emperor Lao Tzu praised himself, the second prince in the red robe glanced left and right proudly, and his eyes deliberately stopped on the eldest prince.
The golden-robed eldest prince's gaze only met the second prince's gaze for a moment, and then he deliberately smiled and dodged away.
The second prince in the red robe said with disdain in his heart: "It's a shame that you are still the eldest prince, you don't have the domineering of a king, you were just born a year earlier than me, why are you the eldest prince." My father is old, and it is better for me to sit on the throne of the crown prince. β
The golden-robed prince was reluctant to compete with the red-robed second prince head-on, and said disdainfully in his heart: "Second brother, you rely on your own strength to be stronger, and you are flying among your brothers." But if you want to get the approval of your father, you can't rely on brute force alone. β
The other princes did not speak, but just stood in a proper manner, listening quietly.
Especially the fourth prince, he deliberately avoided the eyes of the second prince. Last time, the second prince broke three of his ribs on the grounds of fighting. Right now, not only are the bones not completely healed, but the dark energy that remains in the body occasionally flares up, and the chest is aching for a while. I couldn't help it, and coughed lightly twice.
"Fourth, I see that you are a little unwell, do you have any disease? I will arrange for the last doctor to give you a good look. As the son of my father, each and every one of you is my heart. The Great Emperor saw the fourth prince coughing and said with concern.
The fourth prince hurriedly responded: "My father has every opportunity, and my son has worried my father." I just felt a slight chill, so I couldn't hold back just now and coughed twice. It's fine, I should be back after two days of rest. β
The Great Emperor nodded and said, "That's good." A few of you are still young except for the old eight, and they are still unusable, and the old seven are still cultivating after the broken horn, and it is not easy to go out. I know that you are my sons and daughters. Now that I am old, the position of the crown prince should be decided as soon as possible. β
Speaking of this, the Great Emperor paused deliberately and looked at the reactions of the six princes in the audience.
The second prince in the red robe looked around left and right, and when he saw that no one had expressed his position, he snorted lightly, then took half a step forward, and arched his hand: "The son is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries for his father, the Great Palace of the East China Sea and the Scales Jiao Clan." β
Seeing the second prince's statement, the other princes said in unison: "We are willing to share the worries of my father." β
The Great Emperor stroked his beard with one hand and said with satisfaction: "Very good." The future owner of the Grand Palace should have the responsibility and domineering of others. I know secretly, a few of you are competing with each other for the crown prince. This is also a good thing, if you can't even compete with your own brothers, how can you go outside to compete with the hundred clans of the East China Sea in the future? How can you protect the Great Palace of the East China Sea? But after all, it is your own brother, so you can only compete openly, and don't hurt the harmony. β
After hearing this, as the eldest prince, it was time for him to express his position, and hurriedly replied: "We must follow my father's teachings, and I, as the eldest prince, will definitely set an example for the other brothers." β
The second prince in the red robe grabbed the words and said: "The example also depends on whether you have the ability." Father, the seizure of the soul of the rain demon is wrapped around me. β
The Great Emperor didn't answer immediately, a different color flashed in his eyes, he looked at the six princes under the stand, and then said, "This time, I will give you a few opportunities to compete openly." If anyone can take back the Rain Demon Divine Soul with their own hands and hand it back to the Great Palace Seal. It's a great achievement, and I will give priority to the position of the crown prince in the future. β
When the second prince in the red robe heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he thought: "To grab things, you rely on force." There is no match for me in this group of brothers. The position of the crown prince belongs to me. β
"Erchen is also willing to go. The golden-robed prince finally said.
The Great Emperor smiled and nodded, and then encouraged: "Very good, if you want to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, you have to show your ability." This time, everyone has a chance, except for the eldest and second, there are no other princes who are willing to participate in the competition, this time it is fair competition, and the opportunity is rare. β
The fourth prince gently covered his chest with his hand, his cheeks twitched, and he scolded in his heart: "I have been seriously injured by the second child now, how can I have the ability to fight with him again." Last time, I just didn't obey him, so he made an excuse to fight and did so ruthlessly. Fighting him again this time won't take the opportunity to kill me. I'm injured, except for the second child, the eldest prince and a few other brothers, I'm afraid I can't fight, so don't humiliate myself. β
Thinking of this, the fourth prince said loudly: "Father, I know that I don't have the wisdom of the eldest brother, nor the strength of the second brother. This time I voluntarily withdrew from the open competition. β
The Great Emperor on the throne not only did not blame in the slightest, but showed joy on his face and comforted: "Fourth, you are very honest. People should clearly understand their own abilities, and retreating in the face of difficulties is also the way to survive. Take a step back and open the sky. It's good, it's good. β
The other three princes, the fifth prince and the sixth prince, had no intention of giving up this competition.
They have more or less the same idea in their minds. If the high-flying second prince is made the crown prince, it will be logical to ascend to the throne of the great emperor in the future, where will they have a good life. In addition, although the eldest prince who is most capable of competing with the second prince is benevolent on the surface, he is also ruthless in doing things behind his back. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and go all out.
The third prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince looked at each other and said in unison: "Erchen is willing to participate in this competition. β
The second prince in the red robe glanced at the three brothers, and thought, "The three guys who don't know whether they are dead or alive, the boss and I just have to fight." What do you three waste do with me? When the time comes, don't blame me for beating you up like the fourth, or even worse. β
"In this case, this matter is so decided. Tomorrow, the eldest, second, third, fifth, and sixth will set off for Donghe City to assist General Boluo in intercepting those thieves, waiting for the opportunity to strengthen the spirit of the rain demon. Wait for Bolo's message, and do not lose your measure. As for the fourth, let's go back and rest for two days to take care of the wind and cold. The Great Emperor rose from his throne and said aloud.
"The retainers are commanded. The six princes replied in unison.
......
Three days later.
Higashiga Castle.
The eldest prince and the other five princes came to Donghe Castle with the emperor's edict, and the golden armor general Boro respectfully went out of the city to greet him.
In the main hall of Higashiga Castle.
The five princes and the gold-armored general Boluo sat around the long table and discussed the next countermeasures.
The second prince in the red robe said a little impatiently: "General Boluo, we have been here for a day, and we don't see the shadow of those thieves. I think it's better for me to take a few people and go out to Donghe City to meet the enemy. As long as they dare to come, I am sure that I will take their lives under Higashiga Castle. β
"Second prince, don't worry, I have explained the situation of these thieves to several distinguished princes yesterday, they are all tricky characters. The strongest fighting force in the Grand Palace of the East China Sea is the three expeditionary fleets, but the other two fleets are on missions outside. Moreover, it is easy to deal with a fortified city, but against a few cultivation masters, the firepower of the fleet will not be of great use. His Majesty the Great Emperor has sent several distinguished princes to help me this time. Naturally, I'm going to give a couple of shots. Boro said calmly.
"General Boluo is right, second brother, don't be meritorious, go against your father's will. This time, we have to follow General Boro's arrangement. The golden-robed prince said.
The other three princes, the fifth prince and the sixth prince nodded in agreement.
"Humph!"
The red-robed second prince snorted coldly and stopped answering.
"This time, we plan like this...... Boluo explained his plan in detail to several princes.
......
In a poorly furnished secret room in Higashiga Castle.
Dressed in a wide black robe, the Qing Shui Shangren with a red crown on his head was alone.
Outside the secret room, two teams of Donghe City soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the tension was self-evident.
"His grandmother's, that fake monk actually ran to release the shark long. That's good, this Boluo is suspicious by nature. Although I didn't make it clear, under the pretext of martial law in the whole city, I was arranged here and not allowed to go out at will, which was simply house arrest. If it weren't for the secret order of the Shadow Lord on me, how could the evil cultivators of the Zhongyuan Continent be willing to be imprisoned here by you East China Sea barbarians. He had already killed him on his back and left in style. Master Shimizu cursed.
After speaking, he waved his sleeves.
A red shadow flashed, and a blood monk wearing a red monk's robe, a golden incense burner on his head, and a dull-eyed blood monk appeared.
"Bald, isn't it boring to stay here. The Master asked.
The extremely puppet "blood monk" stared blankly and did not answer.
"Hey, bald, you're good, you just can't chat with me. Master Qing Shui sighed, walked over and patted the Blood Monk on the shoulder.
A trace of blood flashed in the Blood Monk's eyes, and he seemed to understand the words of the Qing Shui Shangren.
"You say, I'm an evil cultivator, come and go freely, when have I suffered such a grievance, why don't we kill it together. Use the blood souls of these barbarians from the East China Sea outside to make up for your body. The man on the clear water approached the blood monk and whispered.
The Blood Monk stood still, still not answering.
"If you don't answer me, you just agree. β
The Qing Shui Shangren glanced at the blood monk, and then his consciousness moved.
The blood monk obediently spoke: "Kill out." β
"Good, just what I wanted. The corners of Shimizu's mouth showed smugness.
Actually, what he answered just now was just a wisp of his own divine soul that Master Qing Shui had melted into the body of the blood monk. The blood monk, who is a puppet of people, is more like a doppelganger of the people on Qingshui.
But what made the Qing Shui Shangren himself a little puzzled was that the blood monk's divine soul had clearly been imprisoned by himself with the secret method of the "corpse chasing faction", but he would occasionally say one or two words.
At first, Shimizu thought that his work had failed. After several attempts, not only did he not get an answer from the blood monk, but he also couldn't find out the clues. After a long time, people will get used to the clear water. After all, this was the first time he had refined a successful human puppet talisman. From the bottom of my heart, Shimizu still likes his great work very much.
Master Qing Shui waved his sleeves, his body was like the wind, and he came to the door in two steps, and was about to break the door.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
"The Master of Shimizu is here, General Boluo is invited. β
Qing Shui made people stunned, and the killing interest that had just risen was interrupted at once, and he muttered, "It's boring." β
Immediately, with a wave of his sleeve, the blood monk turned into a red phantom and was retracted into his sleeve.
"Poor Road is here. The Master of Shimizu responded.
There was a creak, and the door was pushed open from the outside.
From outside the door, an ordinary-looking non-commissioned officer in silver armor entered.
"Master Shimizu, please come with me, Lord Boluo is invited. The Silver Armor Sergeant said respectfully.
"Lead the way ahead. "Master Qing Shui raised his head and said with his hands held high, with an uninhibited look of evil cultivation.
......
Outside the city of Donghe, the blue water is thousands of miles.
A small boat breaks the waves.
On the boat, Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu, Guigu Changyang and Fire Girl Azhu rushed all the way to the sea outside Donghe City.
"A large castle in the distance should be Donghe Castle. Looking at the fortified city on the opposite side of the sea and built on huge islands and reefs, Azhu, who was dressed in red, said while comparing the chart in his hand.
"Fortunately, this Boluo didn't put another golden crystal array here, which saved a lot of trouble. Xu Yang quipped.
"What kind of formation does it matter? Even this Donghe Castle will be demolished together. Guigu Changyang said confidently.
Only Liu Haiyu, who was dressed in blue, didn't say a word, he seemed to be able to see Yun Qiao'er who was still imprisoned, and there was blue water flashing in his eyes.
