Chapter 166: The Struggle for the Throne

"Xiaowei, pick her up, he will be your mistress from now on. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Haha, yes, keep drinking the bar. ”

It was the king who spoke, and Lu Chen's act of defeating the girl did not make the king angry, but he laughed with the other barbarians.

"Barbarians are savage, that's not really what to say. ”

Shaking his head, Lu Chen put the unconscious black long straight girl behind him and continued to eat.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and when Lu Chen came out, it was already late.

And after Lu Chen came out, he found that his teeth and hair were waiting outside.

"Ah Chen, no, Your Royal Highness the Prince, my father said that the two of us will follow you in the future. ”

"Yes, I'm glad you guys can come over, but you don't need to call me prince, let's call me big brother, let's find a place to rest. ”

Saying this, Lu Chen was about to ask where there was a hotel in Yaya.

However, before he could ask, Ya spoke: "You don't need to find a place, you are a prince, there is your mansion in the royal court, and when you attend the banquet, the royal court affairs officer has already helped you choose a mansion." ”

With that, Ya took Lu Chen in a direction.

It's just that, in the process of walking, looking at the black long straight girl on Lu Chen's shoulder, the tooth couldn't help but ask: "Your Royal Highness, what is this?"

"The wife I snatched. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen was also a little speechless, he didn't expect that he would one day do something to rob his wife, although the girl's father had agreed.

"Why do you feel like a primitive person the more you go, such a thing, Yunzhou, shouldn't happen. ”

In the sigh, Lu Chen took the girl back to his mansion, it was a very large house, all built of bluestone, for this house, Lu Chen was quite satisfied.

"Who used to belong to this house and how did it become vacant. ”

After being satisfied, Lu Chen asked twice casually.

But this inquiry made the expressions of the teeth and hair a little dim.

However, they still spoke quickly: "This was originally the fourth prince's. ”

"Fourth Prince, what's wrong with me now, has he gone to his own territory?"

During the banquet, Lu Chen was not drinking, the eighth prince was beside him, and Lu Chen still talked with him for a lot of information.

One of them is the selection method of the new king.

Barbarians are warlike, and the king is naturally the strongest, but after all, he is the king who rules everything, and in addition to emphasizing personal force, he must also emphasize his ability to dominate his subordinates.

After the death of the old king, those who have the qualifications of a prince will engage in a duel.

But this duel is not alone, but the prince leads the strongest hundred warriors in his tribe to fight against others.

This own tribe, after becoming a prince, went to the wilderness to reclaim the land and led his subordinates to grow stronger.

This is how the prince is chosen, and it is also how the royal court expands itself.

After all, the barbarian princes are powerful, and they are the only ones who can carve out their territory in the wilderness.

The expansion of territory, in the eyes of the barbarians, means that the strength has become stronger.

Although every time it is cultivated, it takes dozens or hundreds of years to become a big tribe.

But the barbarian king is a strong man, able to live for many years, and has enough time for other princes to develop.

Of course, in addition to reclaiming the territory, the prince can also choose another way, that is, to maintain his own strength and be invincible, and he alone takes on other people's tribes.

Although the selection of kings will test the ability to rule, but the barbarians are the strong after all, and if you alone can defeat the prince on the opposite side, plus the strongest hundred warriors in the tribe, you can also become a king.

Of course, very few people do this.

After all, princes all have golden blood, and every prince in the royal court will learn the golden combat skills, and they are all geniuses, and there is no way to fight beyond the ranks.

And in the case of similar strength, a hundred warriors in the tribe are very important, after all, there are many warriors who are the sons of the leader themselves, and they also have golden blood, and they are not weaker than the prince before the transformation.

With two to one, or even ten to one, how to cross the level with the same golden bloodline.

Several golden bloodline supports, plus the prince himself, are too dominant against those who fight alone.

It was also because of this that Ji Hongdie at that time tried every possible way to win over Lu Chen, this was to help the seventh prince and compete for the throne.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would bring an enemy to the seventh prince.

However, Lu Chen didn't pay attention to Ji Hongdie now, and when he heard that this was the courtyard of the fourth prince, he gave it to himself at this time, and Lu Chen thought that the prince was running his own territory.

It's just that the tooth's reply made Lu Chen pause.

"The fourth prince had been killed in battle three months ago, and his tribe had been wiped out. ”

After being silent for a while, Lu Chen spoke: "Are there many things where the prince died in battle?"

"There weren't many before, but in recent decades, the number of princes in our tribe has changed from more than thirty to more than a dozen. ”

In the barbarians, the prince is glory, but even more power.

Every prince will basically lead his people to the wilderness to cultivate.

Therefore, the number of princes also represents the strength of the tribe.

And from more than thirty princes, directly to more than a dozen, it is enough to explain the situation of the barbarians.

"It seems that being a prince doesn't make me safer. ”

"It's still my own strength that allows me to survive longer. ”

The joy of being a prince is not left at all by this crisis.

"Tooth, can you find the brute blood warrior, I want more than twenty, and I will use it tomorrow. ”

Lu Chen, who felt the crisis, was ready to improve himself, but in the royal court, he couldn't find prey for the time being, so Lu Chen could only do trial tasks.

"The trial task of steel and iron bones: 100 tempered into steel, it's time to do it. ”

Lu Chen's words, the tooth replied very quickly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to form your own guards, however, the barbarian blood warriors are too low, with your strength, Your Highness, go to the barracks to show it, and you can recruit brute bodies, even brute bone-level guards." ”

Princes can form their own guards, such as the fangs under the Seven Princes, and the more than fifty brute warriors.

However, Lu Chen originally didn't want to form it, he was still ready to follow the pioneer battalion to the Secret Realm to kill, in order to improve himself.

It's just that after thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen didn't refuse immediately.

"I know about the guards, I'll go to the barracks tomorrow to have a look, but there can be no shortage of brute warriors, you gather some brute warriors tomorrow, and we'll go to the barracks together. ”

"Got it, Your Highness. ”

......

The original mansion of the fourth prince was very large, but Lu Chen and others were too few, the guards only had teeth and hair, and the maids were only Xiaowei.

Therefore, Lu Chen did not choose the main house, he found a room at random and rested.

It's just that he is resting, but there are many people in the royal court who can't sleep.
