"The Source Law Continent is the hometown of mages, and even the army has formed a team like the mage battalion, but in the history of nearly a thousand years, it is the iron hooves of the Rosen Empire that really shocked the entire continent. Where the sound of horses' hooves sounded, no one was terrified. It's a pity that the invincible iron hooves of the powerful Rosen Empire have not sounded for fifty years after it stopped, at this time the coalition forces have broken through the borders of Rosen, and Rosen's army has been defeated one after another, and the sound of horses' hooves that makes the world fear has not appeared for a long time. ”

A young man in a yellow brocade robe sat on a chair, and there was a history book of the Source Law continent on the table, but what he flipped in his hand was information about the battle situation in Lawson. This information describes the battle situation between Rosen and the coalition forces half a month ago, it stands to reason that the intelligence thing must be time-sensitive, and the battle of the coalition forces attacking Rosen is known to everyone in the entire source law continent, and the intelligence obtained half a month apart should be of very low value.

But that's not the case, this information is really valuable, and even many people can't believe that there will be a battle report from the Source Law Continent half a month ago here.

Because this is the Wind Hidden Continent, which is separated from the Source Law Continent by thousands of miles of oceans, it is extremely difficult to transmit information.

Although this is the imperial capital of Lanjiang, it is not easy to obtain this information.

Not far from the young man, there sat an old man, who looked at the man and asked, "Does Your Highness think that the decline of Rosen is directly related to the old emperor's sitting?" ”

Once the iron-blooded emperor led Rosen's iron hooves to conquer the world, making the Rosen empire prosperous, and after him, that is, the old emperor Zesle, who died a few months ago, succeeded to the throne, and rarely raised troops to fight, so that Rosen was quiet for fifty years. Many people believe that Rosen's decline is directly related to this mediocre old emperor.

But the young man did not think so, and he replied: "I think that this old emperor who has been guarding the country for fifty years has no merit. ”

"Oh? How so? The old man asked rhetorically, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

The young man said, "That iron-blooded emperor is indeed a generation of heroes, but he can't really rule the world after all. When Rosen destroyed Manhi and Vero and did not continue to attack eastward, everyone heard that it was the Divine Court that intervened to stop Emperor Rosen's ambitions, and some said that the dead soldiers sent by Rey and Jeno seriously injured the Emperor. But in fact, Rosen's stop at that time was a subjective voluntary, and it was also a last resort. The reason is very simple, the iron-blooded emperor was not assassinated at all, his body was overwhelmed by years of battle, and he became ill from hard work, and there was no medical treatment left. ”

The young man sighed and continued, "Besides, Jeno and Rey have already formed an alliance and are ready to fight, and Manshi and Vero are both powerful countries with deep roots, and they are far from being able to surrender so easily. The emperor was seriously ill, the foreign enemy had already prepared, and there were hidden dangers inside, if Rosen really continued to move westward back then, the possibility of self-destruction was far greater than that of dominating the world. After Zesr succeeded to the throne, he chose to consolidate the country, recuperate, and appease the remnants of Manhi and Vello, which was a very correct political decision. ”

The old man nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Then what do you think of the battle situation of the alliance between Jeno and Rey attacking Rosen this time?" ”

The young man replied: "Although the New Emperor Jersey has obvious ambitions, it has launched a war regardless of the overall situation, and has crossed the banks of the Sennar, causing internal chaos in Lawson and giving the coalition forces a chance to take advantage of the situation. But with the foundation laid by Zesl in the past fifty years, Rosen will definitely not be defeated by the First World War, although there is some internal strife, but when the external enemy really threatens Rosen's survival, they will eventually unite to defend against the foreign enemy, although Jersey is not greedy enough, but at least he is not a fool, Rosen will not die in his hands. ”

The look of appreciation in the old man's eyes was undisguised, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness's eyesight is already more than that of old decay. ”

The young man was not happy when he heard this, but smiled bitterly: "The teacher praised it falsely, a month ago, I ignored your prevention and followed the gambling game, but I was a complete failure. ”

The old man's smile dissipated when he heard this, and he sighed lightly: "That pool of muddy water is indeed not something we can see clearly, and we are not qualified to enter the game. ”

"Yes, the heir of the Wei family is ten times more important than the heir to the Lanjiang throne." The young man smiled bitterly and sighed, "I lost a lot." ”

When the old man saw that the young man was so depressed, he comforted: "It's okay, it's just a few guards, and you can still cultivate." ”

"I just don't know if he'll give me that chance." The young man's heart was a little heavy, and he unconsciously looked up at the door, but the next moment his eyes were suspicious.

Two figures walked in.

The old man also got up abruptly and asked, "What is the crime of breaking into the prince's study without reporting!?" ”

The man walking in front had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, and he said flatly: "I didn't expect that after the death of four princes' personal guards, there would be no one to take care of the prince by his side." ”

The man behind him was silent, but there was a dangerous aura all over him, he wore a black mask and a golden flower on his forehead.

After a brief period of astonishment, the prince's eyelids drooped slightly, his face regained his calm, and he said, "I guessed that you would come, but I didn't expect to come so early." ”

The old man frowned and said, "Who are you?" ”

The handsome man glanced at the old man and said, "As the prince's teacher, don't you know how to teach the prince to make up for his big mistakes when you see the prince make a big mistake?" ”

The old man shouted, "Someone! Come! ”

"Teacher." The prince interrupted the old man's shout, shook his head, and said, "You can retreat first." ”

"Prince?" The old man's face was full of confusion and surprise.

The prince said: "What he said is right, if you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price." ”

The old man suddenly realized something, looked at the uninvited guest, and asked, "Are you Wei Yeqiu, the young son of the Wei family?" ”

"Exactly down there." Wei Yeqiu saluted indifferently: "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince's Master." ”

The old man's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart became cold, and he said eagerly: "Master Wei, this is the Lanjiang Imperial City, you must not act impulsively, the mistake made by the prince a few days ago is my improper teaching, please don't hold a grudge against His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"You can't get used to him for the rest of your life." Wei Yeqiu shook his head, and then said, "You don't have to be nervous, I'm not an extremely vicious person. ”

How can the old man rest assured that the crown prince sent four guards that day to assist Wei Yan, the eldest son of the Wei family, in intercepting and killing Wei Yeqiu, causing several of Wei Yeqiu's cronies to die in the suburbs, and he himself was seriously injured. Now Wei Yeqiu escaped death, and he has successfully participated in the Qi family's birthday banquet, and returned safely under the escort of the Qi family's masters.

The layout of the eldest prince fell short, and this time the gamble was naturally lost.

It is said that when the head of the Wei family heard this, he was furious and dared to intercept and kill the Wei clan, and it was the son of the head of the family, and few people in the entire continent could bear the consequences. Several suspected Wei family chiefs and even clan relatives surnamed Wei were severely punished, and even two high-ranking stewards were expelled from the Wei family like dogs with one leg broken. Although the eldest prince did not leave evidence of his personal action, he cleared up the relationship, and the head of the family did not directly condemn the crime, but he also deliberately beat it, so that the eldest prince has been holding his tail all these days.

Although Wei Yeqiu is just a young son, his surname is Wei after all, and everyone knows that his chance to turn over is coming, and this is the best opportunity to suppress the power of the eldest prince.

It is also time for retaliation.

Wei Yeqiu suddenly came to the door today, and he must have asked the prince to settle the revenge of this interception.

The old man, who was the prince's teacher, lost all his confidence in an instant, he knew that no one would come in to protect him, even if the prince of Lanjiang was in danger, even if the enemy was only two people, even if... This is the Lanjiang Imperial Palace, where the forbidden army is numerous.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, it is a very simple question to judge which is more valuable, the life of the prince of Lanjiang or the life of the young son of the Wei family.

It may be difficult to choose in the eyes of Emperor Lanjiang, but the answer is still obvious.

The old man's face was bitter, his hands were clenched into fists, and he lowered his posture and begged: "The young man is known as a gentleman, and I hope to be able to ignore the past suspicions. ”

Wei Gongzi shook his head slightly, looked directly at Prince Lanjiang and said, "Regardless of the previous suspicions? Isn't that too much to ask? ”

The prince said, "I am willing to take on this responsibility. ”

Wei Yeqiu asked, "How are you going to bear it?" ”

The prince thought for a moment, and then asked, "Can Childe give me some advice?" ”

Wei Yeqiu looked at the crown prince with bright eyes, but did not answer his question, but asked: "You are the prince of Lanjiang, the orthodox heir to the throne, and you are different from me, but what are you still greedy for?" ”

The prince understood Wei Gongzi's words, he was different from Wei Yeqiu, Wei Yeqiu was a young son, and if he wanted to fight for the position of the head of the family, he had to go through endless twists and turns. And he is the rightful crown prince, the prince of the country, as long as there is no accident, the throne will fall into his hands.

Many people think so, and even the prince dissuaded him in this way, teaching him not to make extraneous branches.

But the prince didn't think so, he looked at Wei Yeqiu and smiled, laughing helplessly and tragically, but his voice was flat: "The life of a young prince is more expensive than that of me, the prince of the dynasty, let alone an eldest son." ”

Wei Yeqiu took the folding fan, patted it lightly in the palm of his hand, and said, "You still have the right to choose." ”

"The head of the Wei family also has the right to choose." The crown prince spoke: "To be precise, it is the power of domination. ”

The head of the Wei family here does not specifically refer to the contemporary head of the Wei family, but more to the next head of the Wei family.

He can choose whether or not to play at the table.

The next head of the Wei family can decide whether he can inherit the throne in the future.

That's right, although this is the Blue River Country, and the land of thousands of tilts is the land of the Blue River, and the prince should be above ten thousand people under one person. But above this range, there is a bigger and stronger force shrouding, and that is the Wei family.

Wei Yeqiu nodded, that is, understanding, and then shook his head, indicating that he could not accept it.

I understand that you were forced into the game to secure the throne, but after all, you want to put me to death, how can I easily forgive?

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of punishment do you want to give me?" ”

Wei Gongzi opened the folding fan, looked at Prince Lanjiang with deep and sharp eyes, and said, "I came today, not to punish you, but to give you another chance to choose." ”

Prince Lanjiang fell silent when he heard this, but after a while, he said, "I heard that how many of your personal guards died?" ”

Wei Gongzi was not surprised, but said calmly: "Your personal guards are also dead. ”

"Am I still eligible to play at the table?"

"Can you still quit?"

There are some games in which you cannot quit until you lose all your chips or your opponent has nothing to lose.

The guards are dead, but the four words Prince Lanjiang are still bargaining chips, and the identity of the young son of the Wei family is also a bargaining chip.

You can't quit yet.

The prince thought about it, looked up at Wei Yeqiu, and suddenly had an awe-inspiring aura, the yellow robe on his body brightened, and he said calmly: "Serve tea to the young son of the Wei family." ”

Just now he looked very humble, because he was a loser, and now he is very tall, because he is the crown prince and the prince of the country.

He took out the identity of the crown prince.

Because he's going to gamble on it.
