The night was falling, and the breeze of the grassland carried the bone-chilling temperature, like a fine knife slashing at a person's face.

The atmosphere tonight was extraordinarily solemn, and almost every patrol guard had a tense face.

At the third watch, the royal court guards changed shifts again, but this time they were replaced with fresh faces.

The fourth prince was dressed in armor and had a large sword hanging from his waist.

His appearance followed the king of Northern Xinjiang, and when he was dressed up like this, he looked majestic, like a lion patrolling the territory.

"Is everything arranged?" he asked his henchman again, tirelessly, "what time is it?"

The henchman said, "It's just midnight, and there is still a quarter of an hour before the time for His Highness Nine to agree. ”

"A quarter of an hour?"

The fourth prince felt like a year, and seeing that his long-cherished wish for many years was about to come true, he couldn't wait even half an hour.

"Then check everywhere and make sure everything is safe. ”

He paced back and forth, as if remembering something, and called back the subordinate who had just turned around, "Where is Mr. Sun?"

At such an important moment, he hoped that someone would witness it with him, and if Sun Wen was there, he would be able to feel at ease.

This strategist who played with the political situation in Northern Xinjiang threw off the wise man of Northern Xinjiang in the heart of the fourth prince.

The henchman said, "Mr. Sun claims that he is too old to see blood, and he has gone back. ”

After hearing this, the corners of the fourth prince's mouth twitched, and there was nothing he could do with Sun Wen.

He forgot that Sun Wen was a weak literati who couldn't lift his hands or shoulders.

If a bloody battle breaks out later, he will stay here as a literati, and no one can guarantee his safety, so it is better not to come.

"Let him go. ”

Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and Sun Wen is not here, so the impact is not great.

The fourth prince was suspicious, and couldn't help but go to the king's tent to take a look, and only felt relieved to see that the king of Northern Xinjiang was still on the bed.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally the appointed time came, and the fourth prince's heart beat like a drum, and he became more and more nervous.

And yet—

Why no one?

Several henchmen came to report one after another, and all the levels were their own people, and they didn't see Lao Jiu's people at all, what's going on?

“…… Didn't this old nine have too much fun with his own wife, so much so that he delayed the hour?"

The fourth prince muttered in private, not daring to slack off, he ordered his people to guard all levels and not take it lightly.

After the appointed time, the person who was originally highly nervous slowly felt that his spirit was not good.

The fourth prince's fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally he couldn't help but want to get up.

He hadn't taken two steps before he heard the sound of shouting in his ears, and his eyes widened with joy.

However, the smile on his face had not faded, and dozens of subordinates rushed in covered in blood, and the leader was none other than his henchmen.

"Fourth Highness - we have been tricked - go quickly!"

The words of the confidant made the fourth prince feel a sigh in his heart, and an ominous premonition spread.

"Wait-what do you mean?" The fourth prince subconsciously held his henchman, the characteristic rattan armor on the other party's body was cut out by a sharp blade, the skin and flesh were turned out, and the blood was flowing outward, he said emotionally, "What do you mean 'we have been tricked'-"

The henchman raised his hand and tied his waist with a strip of cloth to stop the wound, and the guards who rushed in from outside firmly protected the fourth prince.

The subordinate was about to explain, when the killing shouts were getting closer and closer, and the fourth prince saw that his carefully cultivated private soldiers were retreating.

Several corpses were left behind as he retreated.

The enemy outside was menacing, and the fourth prince could only lead people to fight and retreat, forcing him to the vicinity of the king's tent.

The fourth prince's henchman is a man from the northern frontier, his face has been stained with blood, his eyes are slightly red, and he almost wants to cry.

"Your Highness, there is no forced palace at all-we have been calculated-"

Even a stupid person can see that something is wrong, not to mention that the fourth prince is not a stupid person at all.

"There's no forcing the palace—if no one forces the palace—"

If Lao Jiu didn't force the palace, then he used his power to transfer the guards of the king's tent and replace them with his own people, wouldn't it be-

In a fierce battle, more than 1,000 elites of the four princes were lost, and the rest were also defeated.

Seeing that they were about to be forced into the king's tent, hundreds of axemen suddenly rushed out of the king's tent and cooperated with the pursuers to stop them.

The fourth prince's mind turned quickly, and he vaguely guessed something, and his back molars creaked with hatred.

He fell for Lao Jiu's trick!

Seeing that the people around him died one after another, but there were more and more enemies, getting closer and closer, and the fourth prince was no longer able to return to the sky.

"Fourth brother, I really didn't expect you to make such a heart-wrenching move, forcing the palace to kill your father!"

The screams of murder faded into silence, surrounded by corpses and severed limbs, blood muddy the ground, and the smell of blood in the air. The fourth prince stared in a certain direction, and the crowd surrounding them parted on both sides, and a familiar figure walked in.

"The person who forced the palace to kill his father is clearly you!"

The fourth prince gritted his back molars in anger, and his eyes were about to crack with anger.

"Fourth brother, now that it's like this, do you still want to open your eyes and talk nonsense?"

The ninth prince laughed contemptuously, and one by one the important ministers of the court stood behind him, looking at the fourth prince with complicated eyes.

Some are disappointed, some are angry, some are indifferent, some are shocked...... No one trusted him.

"You changed the guards near your father's king's tent, secretly replaced your own people, and you also wore armor and a knife, dare you say that you have no objection?" The ninth prince sneered, "Brother Wang received the news early in the morning, and he didn't believe it at first, but he didn't expect the fourth brother to really do this." So many people have seen with their own eyes, what else does the fourth brother have to refute? If it weren't for the early arrival of the fourth brother, the fourth brother would have forced his father to make you the prince, right?"

The fourth prince shuddered.

The ninth prince said again, "If the fourth brother doesn't have any objections, why did he kill the younger brother when he saw it?"

The fourth prince pouted and said, "Lone received the news that you were going to force the palace to kill his father, so he specially arranged for people to intercept ...... in advance."

The ninth prince looked up to the sky and laughed, tears were about to burst out of his eyes, and the other important ministers of Northern Xinjiang couldn't bear to look at them directly.

They didn't know if the ninth prince had any objections, but they saw that the fourth prince wanted to force the palace to kill his father, and the evidence was ironclad.

Now that he has been caught, he has not repented, but has found such a lame excuse to quibble.

The ninth prince sneered, "Fourth brother, you can't do this to slander your younger brother, you better put it in front of your father!"

The fourth prince was like falling into an ice cellar, looking at the ninth prince's eyes with a little horror, as if he didn't know this younger brother.

"Fourth brother—"

The ninth prince walked up to the fourth prince, the others had been subdued, and the fourth prince was also tied into zongzi.

"Phew!" the fourth prince spat in his face.

"Fourth brother-don't be angry. The ninth prince raised his hand to wipe away his saliva good-naturedly, pasted it on the fourth prince's face as it was, pressed his facial features into deformation, pinched the other party's chin with the other hand, and said with a sneer, "Do you know how you lost?"

The fourth prince's eyes widened suddenly.

"Because, who let the fourth brother treat the younger brother's henchmen as his own staff. ”

Sun Wen?

"Sun Wen is your person?"

"Otherwise, my good fourth brother, thank you for your hard work to help my little brother remove so many stumbling blocks that are obstructive to the eyes. ”
