Chapter 244: Becoming the Crown Prince

"Okay, they're almost exhausted, we can attack." Xiao Yu looked at the already exhausted robbers outside, knowing that they were physically and mentally exhausted after a long siege, and they didn't have enough food, and now their physical strength was overdrawn, and attacking at this time didn't take too much to wipe them out.

Kill......

With a burst of earth-shattering shouts of killing, the troops led by Xiao Yu's four hundred knights rushed out quickly, invincible all the way, and those robbers were really vulnerable, and they didn't even have the strength to escape.

Eventually, the battle ended quickly, with only a thousand or so robbers fleeing and all the others annihilated.

After cleaning everything here, Xiao Yu immediately ordered everyone to evacuate quickly with their things without delay, and all the remaining things were burned.

Because Xiao Yu knew that the situation here, the woman's red beard would definitely know soon, and it would definitely be difficult for them to leave when they wanted to leave.

Some caravans were reluctant to leave tens of thousands of sheepskins, handicrafts, fabrics and other things here, and they were secretly thinking about returning as soon as they arrived in Ratchet City, bringing enough wagons to pull all the things here.

These commodities are all piled up by the robbers for decades, I am afraid that few trading houses can have so many things, if these things are pulled away, how much will it cost?

I'm afraid that I can become a rich man on the rich side immediately.

Therefore, many people are very dizhi for Xiao Yu to say that he wants to burn these things.

Xiao Yu doesn't bother to care about this, people die for money, birds die for food, this is the truth since ancient times.

Xiao Yu just took his own people away, he had already gained enough benefits here, and these things that could not be taken away had to be decisively discarded.

As a man, only by knowing how to make trade-offs can we succeed.

Xiao Yu knew that Ratchet City might also be attacked in the near future, so he asked Tuoba Hong to temporarily relocate all the people of Ratchet City to avoid retaliation.

As for those who don't believe and refuse to leave, Xiao Yu has no choice but to leave them to fend for themselves.

Then, all Xiao Yu had to do was to help Tuoba Hong find a place to establish a stronghold, and prepare to resist the usurper's attack when the time came.

Otherwise, Tuoba Hong doesn't even have a stronghold now, and he will inevitably become a lost dog with nowhere to go.

The location chosen by Xiao Yu is Wuhe Town, which is close to the Lion King's Territory, where there are three sects and five streams, and everyone has it, and it is the only place for the Lion King to come to Yunmeng, where you can quickly get the support of the Lion King's Territory, and the imperial capital far away from Yunmeng will not be able to defeat the usurper for a while.

When they arrived in Ratchet City, at this time, some of the people who had taken refuge due to the attack of the bandits had already returned, and Xiao Yu also found Tyrande and the others, and immediately rushed to Wuhe Town with them and Tuoba Hong.

Those caravans, although they got Xiao Yu's crystal height, but few chose to leave, but most of them chose to go back and pull all those goods back.

So these caravans, who were not afraid of death for money, returned to the robbers' den again to divide the goods, and because of the scramble, these caravans fought fiercely, and for a time the blood flowed.

Without the constraints of Xiao Yu and Tuoba Hong, it is naturally impossible for them to distribute goods like they did at the beginning, at this time, whoever has the bigger fist will get more.

Eventually, they suffered numerous casualties, and at this time, a group of men and horses broke in, one of them wearing a bright red cloak and a mask, revealing only a pair of icy eyes.

When he saw this scene, the murderous aura in his eyes was like a sharp blade, and he wanted to cut everyone into ten thousand pieces.

The man just made a simple gesture, kill.

As a result, the cavalry behind him, dressed in unique armor, began to slaughter these caravans, and in the end, none of these caravans survived.

One captive, after being asked what he was going to say, was skinned alive and put to death.

When the captives were questioned by the red-robed man, they could tell from the other party's voice that the other party was a woman, and that voice was so ethereal, so beautiful, but also so vicious.

"Tuoba Hong, hum, I didn't expect that you, a little prince, would dare to destroy my cottage, wait, soon, your father will be finished, and then your Tuoba family will be wiped out."

The woman's voice was as cold as the ice underground.

"What are you thinking?" After arriving in Wuhe Town, Xiao Yu began to arrange for Tuoba Hong to establish a base and win over some trusted people.

But Tuoba Hong's expression in the past few days has been in a bit of a trance.

"You said that they will soon start usurping the throne, in this case, then my father and other brothers are not very dangerous, and I should go and save them." Tuoba Hong looked in the direction of the imperial capital and said faintly.

At first, Takubahiro thought that this usurpation would definitely take place for a while, so he still had a lot of time to build up his power before saving his relatives.

But now, according to Xiao Yu's analysis, the other party's usurpation of power will not be long after, so there is no way for him to establish his own power first, and then save the family.

Xiao Yu listened to Tuoba Hong's words, sighed slightly, and said: "You can send someone to report the news, but you must not risk your life, now, among these princes, only you are outside, and there are some troops, if once you are also caught by them, you Yunmeng will be completely finished." What you have to do now is to quickly build up a large force to compete with them. As for your family, you can only resign yourself to fate. Now that usurper has a huge amount of power, even if you go and tell your father that he wants to usurp power, I'm afraid your father won't believe it, but may arrest you. If they believe it, then they can resist, and it is best to be able to kill the usurper, if they can't kill it, then it doesn't make sense for you to do it, even if you add one, can you kill the usurper? ”

Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Tuoba Hong nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just sent his closest people to send a gift to Emperor Yunmeng in person in the name of giving gifts.

When Emperor Yunmeng opens this gift, there will be a letter inside that reads the conspiracy of the usurper.

If he had written a letter directly, Tuoba Hong estimated that the letter would not reach his father's hands at all, and it would have been destroyed by the usurper, and Tuoba Hong would have been hunted down immediately.

A few days later, in the capital of the Yunmeng Empire, in the magnificent palace, the emperor of Yunmeng, Tuoba Ye, was feasting his ministers and drinking with some important ministers of the empire.

Holding more such banquets will be of great help to alleviate the contradictions between the ministers and enhance the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Tuoba Ye is not a faint monarch, so he is very good at these imperial power techniques. At this time, he was smiling, looking at the civil and military ministers below, all of them were shrewd and capable, and he was sincerely happy in his heart, with such a group of people, why worry that the Yunmeng Empire was not prosperous? This is much better than the current scattered Tianshi Dynasty, I don't know how much.

Now, he only needs to wait for an opportunity to wait for the chaos of the Tiens Dynasty, so that he can command the army to advance eastward and occupy the entire Tiens Dynasty.

In that case, he would not only be the emperor of the Yunmeng Empire, but the emperor of the entire continent.

Tuoba Ye was very lucky to be in this era, and he felt that he would become the greatest king in the history of the continent, and become the person mentioned in the prophecy.

Around the emperor, there will naturally be no shortage of people who divinate the fortune of the country, and any emperor hopes that his dynasty can prosper forever, and he hopes that he can occupy a larger area.

Tuoba Ye found many masters of divination, and also privately inquired about the divination prophecies of some other kings, and in the end, no matter which country, no matter which fortune teller's prophecy, a message would be displayed.

That is, in this era, there will be a greatest king, he will subdue all races, he will ride a dragon, he will wear beautiful armor, he will take his army, sweep the world, and become the greatest king of this era.

Tuoba Ye felt that the king was himself.

As a result, he was very proud, feeling that before long, he would become the ruler of the entire continent. But, for some reason, he has been restless lately, feeling as if something big is about to happen.

Moreover, he found that there seemed to be something missing from the eyes of these ministers, when they looked at him, and that was the respect and fear that they had seen themselves from the bottom of their hearts, and that was the fear of the divine kingship that was high up and could not be climbed. Although each of them seemed to be still extremely loyal, they did not dare to disobey their words in the slightest, and even flattered themselves more respectfully than before, and they all behaved well without the slightest mistake, but their eyes seemed to be a little different from before.

Recently, it seems that there are very few quarrels between them, which is very unusual, in the past, it was normal for the ministers to have fierce arguments and even enmity because of political differences, and never to die.

But since the unexpected deaths of several ministers in succession, this kind of quarrel has become less and less, and they all seem to be extremely united, respect and love each other, and completely look like exemplary officials.

This should have been a good thing, but it made Takuba Ye feel uneasy all the time, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

Today, he feasted on the ministers, on the one hand, to further enhance the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and on the other hand, to see what was wrong with these ministers.

At this time, a guard came in to report that the Ninth Prince Tuoba Hong had received a strange gift when he was traveling, and specially sent someone to send it to him in person.

Tuoba Ye laughed, very happy, his ninth son, since he was a child, has been very competitive, not only was accepted as a disciple by Yunmeng Wusheng Aoba, but also performed well in all aspects, has a lot of prestige among the people, and the most important thing is filial piety, whenever he gets something good outside, even if it is just an interesting small item, he will send someone to give it to himself.

If it weren't for some political reasons, he had to make his eldest son the crown prince, and he would even want to pass on his throne to Tuoba Hong in the future.

Soon, the cronies of Tuoba Hong ran in, bowed down to Tuoba Ye, and then said: "Your Majesty is ordered by the ninth prince Tuoba Hong to come in to offer a rare thing to show filial piety. ”

"Haha...... Okay, present it. Tuoba Ye was very happy and asked someone to bring the gift box over, but at this time, a minister came out to speak, and Tuoba Ye put the gift box on the table, ready to go back and look at it.

However, at this time, the guard did not go down immediately, but hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince said, this gift is very cherished, and I hope Your Majesty can open it in person." ”

In fact, Tuoba Hong's order was that Tuoba Ye had to be opened in person.

Seeing this guard say this, Tuoba Ye's face was slightly unhappy, and his face sank slightly, what kind of occasion is this? How can the ministers be ignored because of this trivial matter?

However, in order to show his fatherly side, Tuoba Ye couldn't be too harsh on Tuoba Hong's excessive request, so he immediately remained silent, laughed, and said: "This Hong'er is still the same as when he was a child before. ”

Saying this, Tuoba Ye opened the gift box, took a look, and was ready to cover it again.

However, the moment he opened the gift box, his eyelids jumped, because he saw a piece of stationery inside, and a pattern was spent on the letterhead, a bright red small sword, and a few drops of blood were sprinkled next to it.

Dead admonition.

This is a pattern that only some ministers draw when they encounter some major events, and they do not hesitate to risk their lives to admonish the emperor.

The meaning of this pattern is that the emperor must do this for me, and if I don't do it, Weichen will die.

What was it that made Tuoba Hong draw this pattern?

Tuoba Ye naturally knew that this matter was extremely unusual, and immediately blocked it with the lid of the gift box, pretending to appreciate the gifts inside, but he carefully opened the letter paper, and even hid it from the maid standing behind him.

After he read the letter, Tuoba Ye was glad for his caution, but he was still expressionless, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, he gently crumpled the letter, threw it into the gift box, and took out the mechanical doll that Tuoba Hong had sent him from the ancient era of goblins.

Rattling a few times, Tuoba Ye put the mechanical doll on the table, and the sword in the doll's hand immediately waved like a child, like a child, stiff movements, very cute.

"Haha, this Hong'er, what a child, he actually uses this kind of thing to please me." Takuba Nokkai seems to be happy with Hiroshi Takuba's ingenious gift.

The ministers below also said good things at this time, saying that Tuoba Hong's filial piety is commendable.

Tuoba Ye looked at the ministers with a smile, and saw that they all said good things for Tuoba Hong, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Do you think Hong'er is a good child?" Something to do? ”

Whoever wants to go against the emperor at this time should immediately say yes.

Seeing this, Tuoba Ye nodded, and said: "Since this is the case, the emperor is here today to announce a news, the emperor has decided to change Hong'er to the crown prince, once the emperor is a hundred years later, Hong'er does not need to hold any ceremonies, no matter where he is, he will automatically become the emperor of the Yunmeng Empire, and anyone who dares to disobey will be regarded as treason." In this world, there is only one emperor of the Yunmeng Empire, and that is my son Tuoba Hong. This edict was immediately announced to the world. ”
