However, Shangguan Honglie couldn't let go of the Hanchuan Empire, which was founded from scratch with great effort. He had thirteen sons, many of whom were gifted and intelligent, and he knew that as long as he chose the next successor to the throne, the large number of followers who had made a vow to him would firmly support and loyally follow him.

But the problem is that several of his sons are really good, which makes it difficult for him to decide who to choose. Although for the sake of the stability of his rule, he had already appointed his eldest son Shangguan as the crown prince, but over the years, the ability of the remaining six princes has not been inferior to that of the crown prince, among which the ability and talent of the third, ninth and thirteenth sons are more prominent. Therefore, in order to choose the most suitable successor, he decided to determine the best in a free competition, that is, the future emperor of the Hanchuan Empire.

And King Yi, King Fu, King Yan and the rest of the princes are all human spirits, not long after Shangguan Honglie made this decision, they learned about it through various channels that had been buried a long time ago, and then after many attempts to confirm, the battle for the heir began.

In order to enhance their own strength and expand their influence, the crown prince, King Yi, King Fu, King Yan and the princes who participated in the succession have recruited troops and horses, and recruited high-ranking monks with heavy gifts for their own use. In addition, they also constantly sent people to suppress the other party, so as to weaken the other party's strength and improve their status in Shangguan Honglie's mind. All kinds of tricks here can be described as endless, and everything is used.

Of course, each other has kept the final limit, that is, they must not endanger each other's lives, which is also the bottom limit of Shangguan Honglie's free competition. The monks under the command of all forces can suffer heavy losses, but the crown prince and the princes must not hurt their lives, otherwise the side that shoots will also be out of the game and lose the opportunity to win the heir.

At the same time, in Hangjia City, the competition between each other must also abide by the laws of the capital, which also makes the competition between all forces in Hangjia City mostly at the economic level, or try to rub the edge of the law, such as against Ye Hong.

Outside of Hangjia City, it is another bloody storm, the struggle between the various forces in various fields can be said to have reached a white-hot level, murder, robbery, exploration and development of ancient ruins and caves, bribery, commercial competition, in short, all kinds of tricks in mortal society, in this monk country is also everything.

At first, the parties attacked and defended each other, and there was not much difference in strength. However, since the previous year, King Yi and King Fu suddenly formed an alliance, and as a result, the strength of the Quartet has changed a lot. The prince's side is okay, his strength is mainly in Hangjia City, so the loss is not too big after being suppressed by King Yi and King Fu. However, the power of the scattered Yan King outside Hangjia City was severely suppressed, and many forces and businesses in the city were uprooted, while Yan Wang did not have any radical reaction.

Many outsider monks said that King Yan had a good mentality and was more open-minded, so he could accept such a blow calmly. However, King Yi and King Fu didn't see it that way, they thought that King Yan was trying his best to forbear, and he would not relax and continue to attack in all aspects until he was suppressed to the end of the mountain and completely lost the opportunity to fight for the reserve. This reminded Ye Hong of the conversation between King Yan's father and daughter that he had overheard when he sneaked into King Yan's mansion, and it seemed that King Yan did not pay too much attention to the suppression he received, but tried his best to comfort his daughter.

At the same time, Ye Hong also obtained a lot of privacy secrets about King Yi. This King Yi is far from being as open-minded as he seems, in fact, he is very narrow-minded, and his gentle appearance is only to win Shangguan Honglie's favor and attract followers. Many bloody and dirty plans were hatched by him.

In addition, Ye Hong also obtained a list of secret sons sent by King Yi to each prince, and almost every palace has its assigned undercover agents, including his current alliance Fu Wang. However, Ye Hong believed that Shangguan Rongfu must have not nailed a hidden stake in King Yi's mansion. It's just that these secrets of King Yi have no effect on the current Ye Hong. The purpose of his trip was only to find Zhong Ling, so he didn't want to get involved in the battle for the succession between the princes.

Two days later, Ye Hong came to the Xuefang Pavilion again, this Xuefang Pavilion was originally not allowed for other men except Shangguan Rongyan, but now it has added Ye Hong. Ye Hong's purpose in coming here today is still to ask if there is any information about Zhong Ling.

After getting Ji Xuehua's permission, Ye Hong stepped into the door of the main hall of Xuefang Pavilion, and just after entering, he saw that Yan Wang Shangguan Rongyan was also there, and Ji Xuehua's face still had a trace of red.

"Eh, isn't it a good time to come down?" Ye Hong paused at the door and said embarrassedly: "I didn't know that the prince was here!"

"Haha, it's okay, Ye Daoyou hurried in, this king has just arrived, and he didn't say a few words to Xuehua. Shangguan Rongyan enthusiastically stood up and invited Ye Hong in.

"Come in! The prince is right!" Ji Xuehua quickly put away the blood on his face and returned to his previous cold expression.

"In that case, then be cheeky to make a light bulb!" Ye Hong was not polite, walked in directly, and sat down under King Yan.

"What is the light bulb?" Shangguan Rongyan was attracted by the strange noun in Ye Hong's words.

"Well, that's a lighting tool on the high-tech planet of the Brilliant Federation that can emit very bright light, generally speaking, it is too bright to affect the lovers in the dark!" Ye Hong said teasingly.

"You! The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!" Ji Xuehua's pretty face like white jade was flushed again.

"Haha, light bulb! I like Ye Daoyou's joke!" Shangguan Rongyan laughed out loud, looking at Ji Xuehua affectionately, while the other party tilted his head shyly, as if he didn't see it.

"I don't know if Ye Daoyou came to Xuefang Pavilion today?" Ji Xuehua was very embarrassed about the relationship with Ye Hong, in terms of seniority, she was Ye Hong's senior, and she was the master of the other party's lover, this relationship may be more suitable to call him Xiao Ye or Xiao Hong, but the current Ye Hong's cultivation has to let her call her a senior. Considering that they will meet often in the future, Ji Xuehua simply greeted him as a peer.

"Oh, I still want to ask if there is any news about Ling'er!"

"This, hey, there are still no clues in this regard recently!" Before Ji Xuehua could speak, Shangguan Rongyan responded first: "During this time, this king's business in various parts of the empire has encountered some trouble, so the information in this area is a bit lagging behind!" Then he promised: "However, as long as these troublesome things are overcome, this king must order them to carefully collect relevant information!"

"Hey!" Ye Hong sighed deeply, he had already been mentally prepared for such a reply, but he couldn't say how much disappointment there was: "Thank you Lord Wang, I am grateful!"

Of course, he knew what the troublesome thing Shangguan Rongyan was talking about, the business and manpower of the Yan Wangfu Mansion in various parts of the Hanchuan Empire had been vigorously attacked by the Yiwang Fuwang Alliance, and he was in a hurry, so naturally he didn't have the time and manpower and material resources to help find Zhong Ling.

Next, the spirit tea was served, and of course the three of them had to chat for a while. Shangguan Rongyan started from topics such as the cultural landscape of Hangjiacheng, among which there were many things that Ye Hong had not been exposed to, but he also listened to them with relish, and Ji Xuehua was also flattering. But as the topic deepened, Ye Hong heard that Shangguan Rongyan began to guide the content of the small talk to some special aspects.

"Although this Hangjia City is the capital of our Hanchuan Empire, and the law is strictly enforced, there are still many lawbreakers who will take advantage of the loopholes of the law and engage in some things that seriously damage the interests of other monks! This group of scum actually blackmailed this young monk with 10 million inferior Yuan Jing. I wonder if you two have any thoughts on this matter?"

"Ten million yuan crystals! That's a lot of money!" Ji Xuehua frowned, a little indignant: "These people are too much, such a huge amount of Yuan Jing, wouldn't it be necessary to hollow out other people's family funds!"

"You don't have to worry about this, it is said that this young monk took out the 10 million yuan crystal very happily. Shangguan Rongyan first skimmed Ye Hong, and then squeezed his eyes at Ji Xuehua.

Ji Xuehua is also Bing Xue smart, and he immediately understood a little. Coming from other places, the realm of the Void Spirit Period, young monks, three points, each point is very in line with Ye Hong in front of him. Suddenly, she looked at Ye Hong with worried eyes. This gifted young monk is not only from the same cultivation planet and sect as himself, but also a quasi-Taoist companion of his beloved disciple.

"Since the prince is so unaccustomed to these outlaws, why don't you come forward to take care of them?" Then Ji Xuehua said to Shangguan Rongyan with a hint of complaint.

"This is also something that can't be helped, in Hangjia City, this king can't cover the sky with one hand!" Shangguan Rongyan gently played with the teacup: "Many pairs of eyes are staring closely!" Then he comforted: "However, this young monk dealt with such an emergency very well, and those lawless people who touched porcelain suffered a loss. ”

"Oh, thank God!" Ji Xuehua's pale face finally had a hint of a smile, all of which was seen by Ye Hong.

"I don't know what Ye Daoyou thinks about this matter?" Shangguan Rongyan took advantage of the victory to pursue.
