Chapter 498: Assassination of the Second Prince
"Assassinate the second prince?"
The second prince is indeed Xiao Zhang's enemy, firstly because of the second prince's prince, and secondly, because Xiao Zhang was chased and killed by the second prince as soon as he arrived in the soul capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this way, what Xuanyuan said is not unreasonable. The assassination of the second prince is also of great significance to Xiao Zhang, because the second prince is a powerful arm of the crown prince, and getting rid of the second prince as soon as possible will definitely be beneficial to Xiao Zhang.
At this moment, according to Xuanyuan's analysis, the second prince must be waiting for Xiao Zhang to assassinate Huang Jun, so he would never have thought that Xiao Zhang would assassinate him. I have to say, this is indeed a good opportunity.
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about below." Xuanyuan Jue seemed confident, "You and I attacked at the same time, assassinating the two rivals of the second prince and Huang Jun respectively, and also, we have to pretend to be people on both sides of them, so as to stimulate the already strong contradictions between them, so that the two of them can fight each other, which can save us a lot of effort." ”
Xiao Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong the more he listened, so he asked, "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you also have a grudge against the second prince?" And, it sounds like your enmity with Huang Jun is not just because of Xiang'er. All in all, it seems that you are very eager to disrupt the pattern of the Soul Capital in order to achieve your own goals. But what exactly is your purpose? ”
Xuanyuan shook the folding fan lightly, but said very frankly: "You guessed right, I do want to disrupt the pattern of the capital, but I am not for me to achieve my personal goals. ”
Xiao Zhang knew that once it came to the issue of identity, Xuanyuan would never reveal anything, so Xiao Zhang didn't ask, but changed the topic: "According to my guess, you seem to have something to do with the prince, and it is very likely that you are the prince's person." ”
Xuanyuan said with a smile: "How can you see it? ”
Xiao Zhang said: "I confronted Huang Jun in the inn, and soon after you left, the second prince appeared just right, does this mean that you have already gone to report to the prince?" ”
Xuanyuan Jue laughed again: "Yes, yes, although this guess is a bit far-fetched, it is indeed correct." I did go to report to the prince, for two purposes, one is to help you break the siege, and the other is to intensify the contradiction between Huang Guozhong and the prince. ”
"However, since you are the prince's person, why should you harm the interests of the prince?" The more Xiao Zhang listened, the more confused he became.
Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, as if he was considering whether he should say the next words, and Xiao Zhang was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.
"Actually, I took refuge in the prince just to find a backer in the mixed soul capital, and I didn't want to serve the prince sincerely." Xuanyuan said slowly, "And what prompted me to go against the prince was because the prince had an idea, that is, he wanted to marry Xiang'er to the Extreme West Demon Dao, in order to beg the Demon Dao not to invade the Central Plains again. I am an admirer of Xiang'er, how can I tolerate the prince doing this? So, on the surface, I am still the prince's person, but in fact, I have done a lot of things that are not good for the prince. ”
As soon as he heard the name Xiang'er, Xiao Zhang's whole body suddenly tensed, but this time he suppressed his anger and asked, "Then why didn't you directly assassinate the second prince, but came to assassinate Huang Jun for me?" ”
Xuanyuan closed the folding fan abruptly and said, "Because I am still nominally the prince's person, and I still want to mingle under the prince for a while longer, of course, I have to do something unfavorable to Huang Jun." ”
Xiao Zhang understood what Xuanyuan decided meant, so he nodded, stretched out a hand to Xuanyuan Decision, and said, "Okay, let's cooperate." ”
Glancing at Xiao Zhang's outstretched hand, Xuanyuan Jue didn't hesitate to stretch out his hand and shook it with Xiao Zhang's hand.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang's heart once again rose to a monstrous wave, he originally just wanted to test whether Xuan Xuanyuan knew about this handshake from another world, he didn't want Xuanyuan to really know, and it was such a natural handshake, he was not surprised at all.
What does this mean? It shows that Xuanyuan Jue may have an extraordinary relationship with Lu Lanxiang, because in this other world, only Lu Lanxiang knows about the handshake gift he brought from another world.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang's hand secretly strengthened, as if he wanted to crush Xuanyuan's hand, and at the same time gritted his teeth and said: "I still say that, Xiang'er is mine, no one wants to snatch it,"
Xuanyuan smiled peacefully, but did not answer Xiao Zhang's words, but said: "Without further ado, Brother Xiao rushed to the west of the Soul Capital City as soon as possible, and the second prince is leading the prince's personal guards to search for the demon owl,"
Xiao Zhang looked back at Huang Jun, who was still at least slipping down the street, and then nodded and said, "Okay, take care!" The word "take care" was pronounced very strongly, apparently through gritted teeth, and sounded less like a word of concern and more like a curse.
…………
At the other end of the Soul Capital City, the second prince also led dozens of heavily armed princes' personal guards, patrolling the streets. Although the second prince and Huang Jun have arranged a large number of people in the city, covering all the streets and alleys in the city, it is obvious that they are already-for-tat, but the two have never met.
Despite this, the two did not relax at all, they were secretly paying attention to each other, once the other party had any trouble, they would suddenly burst out and bite each other, and there would never be such a peaceful harmony at this moment.
Xiao Zhang stood quietly in the crowd on the side of the road, looking at the second prince, thinking in his heart that the second prince who was under the protection of the prince's personal guard, the difficulty of assassination seemed to be greater than that of Huang Jun, and he didn't know whether Xuanyuan's decision to persuade him to assassinate the second prince was due to sincerity, if Xuanyuan was determined to harbor evil intentions, then the assassination of the second prince would be a big trap.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Zhang had roughly estimated that it was almost impossible to assassinate the second prince successfully and retreat with his whole body, so he decided not to make a move for the time being.
However, if what Xuanyuan said was true, and it was for his own good, then an excellent opportunity to get rid of the crown prince's arm would be lost.
Just when Xiao Zhang was hesitating, the second prince seemed to feel something, and suddenly pulled the reins in his hand, causing the war horse under him to stop.
Xiao Zhang's heart suddenly jumped, as if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough, I saw the second prince whispering a few words to a guard beside him, and then I saw the guard shouting: "Listen, everyone, His Royal Highness the Second Prince feels the breath of a demon lord nearby, so this street must be temporarily blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, and they can enter and exit freely after the search is completed!" ”
