"Since the ancient lord of the Northern Empire was seriously ill and bedridden, the major events of the empire were basically not in the limelight, and they were handed over to the eldest prince to participate in politics, the second prince and the eldest prince are in the same vein, and the relationship between the two is very good, so their prestige in the palace is also very high, plus the second prince is the military advisor of the eldest prince, and the two have great prestige in the army, and everyone thinks that the next lord has already decided that the eldest prince himself, after all, the ability and prestige of the eldest prince are far superior to others.

But the three princes are ambitious, naturally unwilling to be subordinate, and want to be the emperor, two of the eight major forces have been co-opted by him, and many ministers in the palace have also been bought by him, and now the palace has been divided into two forces competing with each other. Tuo Minghui said slowly.

The sword idiot pondered for a while and asked, "What about the other princes, aren't they interested in the throne?"

"Hehe, in addition to the six princes, the ancient lord has three princesses, one eighth prince, the princess naturally can't participate in politics, and the eighth prince is also eyeing the throne, but he is shrewd and knows that his own power is completely inferior to the previous three princes, so he simply joined the camp of the three princes and assisted the three princes to compete for the throne.

There are also some ministers who do not take sides and want to see the situation clearly, and taking sides at will will affect their interests. However, there are still some forces who support the Six Princes as much as we do, and the Six Princes are docile, modest to people, do not like to kill, and have no pursuit of the throne, which has led to many powerful forces on his side.

Because of this, he was also implicated and forced into this competition. ”

Tuo Minghui sighed, the situation in the palace is too complicated, and the slightest wrong team will fall into the Jedi.

"Didn't you tell the Six Princes?"

Tuo Minghui shook his head: "As long as you don't push him to be anxious, the sixth prince will not care about this matter at all, and we will stand there voluntarily." ”

“......”

"So knowing the character of the Six Princes, the eldest prince and the third prince have all come to us, the forces that stand on the Six Princes, and want to win us over. ”

"The Third Prince?"

"That's right, the three princes have asked all of us in private, but we are all from the Seven Star Sect, and we are following Yang Lao, and we will stand wherever Yang Lao stands, so we all rejected the three princes. ”

The next thing can be guessed by the sword idiot, after the battle on Nameless Island, the third prince is definitely a ruthless and narrow-minded person, Tuo Minghui and they rejected the three princes, so naturally they will be threatened by the three princes, and they will definitely encounter trouble.

"This time he intends to strangle us on that island, so that the Six Princes will have a big less help. Tuo Minghui said in a deep voice: "You also have to be careful, although you have joined the Seven Star Sect for a short time, it is the best time for the Great Prince and the Third Prince to win over, because at this time they will think that you have no sense of belonging to the Seven Star Sect, and this is the time when they have the greatest success rate in winning over." ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, although my sword idiot is not strong, I will not betray the sect. The sword idiot assured Tuo Minghui that it was also for them to rest assured, otherwise they would be half-hearted and easily excluded.

And for the Seven Star Sect, although he has been in for a short time, the senior brothers and sisters here are very good, and he also likes the atmosphere here very much.

It's also good that Xiaoxi has a place to stay.

"We believed in you from the time you saved us, or you wouldn't have risked your life. Tuo Minghui smiled.

"Don't worry, Elder Yang will be fine, now that Elder Yang is here, you should be careful. ”

"Good. ”

After talking to Tuo Minghui, the sword idiot left.

On the way, his face sank.

They may not know about Yang Lao's situation, but he knows that Yang Lao's poison is very likely to be related to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, and it is impossible to really exert his strength.

The sword idiot's eyes narrowed, and he left the Seven Star Sect.

As soon as he went out, he was quickly stopped by two middle-aged people, Tuo Minghui appeared in front of the sword idiot for a moment, Elder Yang was not there, and the other two elders were even more closed, because the Treasure Pavilion and the Book Pavilion needed to be guarded, so now he was the strongest person in the entire Seven Star Sect, and if the disciple had something, he had to come forward as soon as he was a senior brother.

"I didn't expect you to come to the door so soon. ”

Tuo Minghui was a little surprised, these two middle-aged people he knew were the people of the eldest prince.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the eldest prince still misses you a little. ”

The middle-aged man smiled gently.

"I miss him too. Tuo Minghui smiled, and the middle-aged man said, "The eldest prince invited him to come over for a gathering." ”

Tuo Minghui nodded and said to the sword idiot: "Go ahead." ”

The sword idiot nodded slowly.

He had only heard about the people of the eldest prince, and he also wanted to see it.

So the two middle-aged men left with the sword idiot.

They did not vacate the air, but walked past and entered a restaurant, which was not a high-spirited, extravagant restaurant, but an ordinary restaurant, which the sword idiot thought highly of this great prince, and the royal nobles did not go to the tall restaurant but came to an ordinary restaurant.

Either it's stingy or it's housekeeping.

When they came to the private room, the two middle-aged men pushed open the door and said to the sword idiot, "The eldest prince has been waiting inside for a long time. The sword idiot nodded politely, and then went in, and the two middle-aged people behind him did not go in, but closed the door and quietly guarded the door.

After the sword idiot came in, there were two twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young men sitting at the dinner table, the one on the left was slightly older, obviously the eldest prince, and the gentle and elegant appearance next to him should be the second prince.

As for the strength, it is all hidden in a special way, and the sword idiot can't detect it.

"Hello, I am the eldest prince Gu Fei, he is the second prince Gu Mo, I take the liberty to invite you over today and have something I want to talk to you about. The eldest prince got up and said, there was no prince at all, and he seemed close to the people.

"Hello, sword idiot. ”

The sword idiot introduced himself politely.

"I said straight to the point, you should have heard about the situation in the royal family, and I want you to support me. The eldest prince said seriously.

The sword idiot shook his head slightly: "Since you invited me over, you must have checked everything about me clearly." The eldest prince nodded, he had to investigate anyone he was trying to win over, in case it was a spy arranged by his royal brothers.

"The attitude of the Seven Star Sect is my attitude. The sword idiot looked at him with a smile, to be honest, the first time they met, the two of them gave him a good impression, and they chatted quite comfortably.

"Actually, you can put forward any conditions, I can guarantee that your conditions will be met, you support me, I think Elder Yang should agree. The eldest prince smiled bitterly.

Well?

Yang Lao!

"Do you know Elder Yang?"

"Of course, Yang Lao was the national teacher of the empire before, but because his father was seriously ill, he also retired. Speaking of their father, the mood of the two changed slightly.

This information caught the sword idiot a little off guard, Yang Lao is actually still a national teacher, this background is a bit big, but at the same time he also has doubts, since he is a retired national teacher, then the sect he built is so downtrodden, so poor, he shouldn't be very rich, why is he so wealthy.

Presumably, the eldest prince would not tell him, and what he wanted was not himself, but the support of Yang Lao and Senior Brother Tuo Minghui and others, he failed in them, and he could only find him who had just come in.

As long as he agrees to the Great Prince, then he is a disciple of the sect, and he also stands on the side of the Great Prince on behalf of the Seven Star Sect.

However, in doing so, he betrayed the Six Princes.

The sword idiot naturally wouldn't do such a thing, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Elder Yang is already on the side of the Six Princes, I naturally won't make any choice to betray, I can't do anything." ”

"Xiaoliu, he has a docile personality and has no ambition to be the throne, and now the third brother is ambitious, I need your support. The eldest prince continued to persuade.

But the sword idiot resolutely stood his feet and did not waver in the slightest.

The second prince pressed the eldest prince and smiled: "We won't force you, but I have a request, and I ask you to agree." ”

"What request?"

The sword idiot frowned slightly, being able to let the second prince use the word request, presumably this matter is not simple.

"Protect the sixth brother, the sixth brother has no quarrel with the world, but the third brother is narrow-minded, and he will inevitably find an opportunity to deal with him, because the forces that support the sixth brother include Yang Lao and other ministers. The second prince said solemnly, his eyes fixed on the sword idiot.

He didn't rush to answer.

He underestimated the identity of Yang Lao, but he didn't expect the second prince to say such a thing, without any intention of attracting him to the eldest prince, but let him stay with the sixth prince and protect him.

At this point, the sword idiot began to think to a deeper level.
