The crown prince died at the hands of the Assassin, but what is puzzling is that the Assassin was originally on death row, a prisoner who was about to be executed after the autumn, and it was impossible for him to escape. However, the cell where the assassin had been held that day was inexplicably reduced by half, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.

The Assassin woke up and refused to admit that he had killed the Prince, but his knife was stuck in the Prince's head, and the Prince was indeed stabbed alive in the head by the knife. So in the end, it was still convicted by assassination.

The death of the fifth prince is said to be a sudden illness and death, but in fact, only a few people know that his death is very disgraceful, he died in the room of a popular singer, and the singer was scared half to death at that time.

Afterwards, the officials of Yaguo arrested the singer and tortured her, but she still couldn't ask anything, so she could only leave it at that.

After the death of the fifth prince, more than ten of his wives and concubines quarreled with each other, wanted to divide the family property, and made a good five-prince mansion like a vegetable market.

As a result, despite many doubts, the two most powerful heirs to the throne of the Cliff Kingdom are dead.

The second prince and the eighth prince became the new candidates.

The DPRK and China soon split again into two camps, supporting each other's favored heirs.

The eighth prince is extremely young, and he is more popular with the powerful, because he is easy to control at a young age.

The second prince is in his 30s after all, and he has not participated in the competition for the throne before, that is, he knows that his talents are mediocre, and he can't compete with the eldest brother or the fifth brother.

As a result, now because of the death of the eldest and the fifth, they have been pushed to the table all of a sudden.

The same is true of the eighth prince, who, despite his young age, has to come into constant contact with the men and horses of various forces.

Royal disputes, full of crises, can become a loser at any time, or even die.

Therefore, Yan Geng had to learn to mature early, just to get a glimmer of life.

As an IQ of 115 that has been identified by the Earth Realm Technology, and is currently the top 1% of the human race, Yan Geng is indeed a very smart child. Under the pressure of survival, he begged his father to hire the best teacher for him to learn all kinds of knowledge.

Although he could not leave Miyagi or go to the academy to study because of his identity, he still managed to find many history books and learned many experiences and lessons about governing the country and the struggle for power.

In order not to attract attention, Yan Geng subconsciously pretended to be ignorant in front of everyone, which made people lose their vigilance against him.

Even when his mother scolded him, he showed a deferential appearance, and he accepted it, but comforted his mother.

After his behavior was seen by the old cliff king, he praised it greatly, and even treated his mother much better.

Yan Geng changed himself little by little, and also changed the people around him.

At the age of thirteen, he began to try to cultivate cronies, win over power, and even have many powerful slaves outside the home for future use.

And the second prince, because he is getting older and older, is too eager for quick success and impatience, but he is gradually not favored by the old cliff king.

In the end, in the 97th year after the founding of Yaguo, the second prince Li Lingzhi fainted and sent someone to attack the eighth brother.

Fortunately, Yan Geng had a strong guard and blocked the assassination.

And this touched the old cliff king's scales, after all, his favorite eldest son died in assassination.

The second prince was grounded and disqualified from competing for the throne.

There are a lot of discussions about this matter in the government and the opposition, and some people have raised many doubts, and the second prince is crying out for injustice every day.

However, Yan Geng did it seamlessly and was not worried about being discovered.

In the 99th year, the old King of Cliff finally passed the throne to Yan Geng, who was just 25 years old at this time, which was the age of his prime.

As the king of the cliff, Yan Geng, through his own continuous efforts, has experienced brutal factional struggles, and his current temperament and appearance are no longer what they used to be.

He has a handsome face, is not angry and arrogant, and acts really thoughtfully, uses people well, and has the style of a real king.

When he actually took over the throne and officially ascended the throne, everyone couldn't help but be convinced.

On the day of his accession to the throne, the new King of Cliff sat on the throne, but his eyes did not stay on the subordinates who knelt down below.

He just looked into the distance, looking at the blue sky through the hollowed-out window lattices above the palace.

It was a month after the enthronement was done.

At this time, Yan Geng had time to come to the woods that he used to come to when he was a child.

Under his orders, the arrangement in this wood, for more than ten years, has maintained its original appearance, waiting for the return of the original man.

However, even if he ascended to the throne and became the supreme king of the human race, he did not wait for that person.

Looking at the familiar arrangement, Yan Geng seemed to have returned to his childhood again.

Back then, he often stayed alone in this dimly lit grove where no one came, sitting on a stone bench in a daze.

When he was a child, Yan Geng was actually a very poor child.

As the youngest child of the Cliff King, and the son of an unfavored and lowly concubine, almost no one really loved him except his father. Anyway, he is young and has a low status, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne at all, and it is best to be just an outgoing prince in the future. Of the four princes, he was the least promising.

Even his mother, when she saw him, was full of complaints, and even stingy in hugging him. From the moment he was born, he was thrown to nurses and slave girls to take him.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Why are you so unlikable?"

"It's all your fault!"

The people around him said all these things to him, and gradually, he got used to it.

Only when his father occasionally comes to see him, he can feel a little warmth, and then the people around him will be a little nicer to him. But he is not the child that his father cares about the most, he is just pitied because of his young age.

Until the day comes.

The days he spent with the thieves often appeared in his dreams later on.

He always remembered the agreement, and the strange thief sister said that she would come back.

Two years, three years,...... Exactly 16 years have passed. He didn't wait for the people he was waiting for.

His gaze looked deep into the woods, and he hoped that in the next moment, the figure that would never be forgotten would jump out directly, and then say to him those words that had been engraved in the depths of his heart:

"You're so cute, why don't you come with me! This monster thief wants to take you to a bigger and more beautiful world to play, so that you don't have to stay alone in this deserted grove in a daze, okay? ”

"Okay."

"Okay! So, I'll give you a name called Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, let's go together! ”

"Okay!" Xiao Wangwang replied happily in a childish voice.

"Huh...... Okay, I was so innocent back then......"

Yan Geng muttered wistfully.

However, his mood could not return to that innocent moment.

In order to live, he has already blackened his heart. But even so, he still left a corner of his childhood in the corner of his heart, just to wait for that person's return.

He occasionally reveals his former innocence, of course, only in this woods, only when he is nostalgic for the past.

Yan Geng stayed in the woods for a long time, then closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had already collected his mood and regained his state of being the king of the cliff country.

Yan Geng left the woods with an expressionless face, and now, this place is already a forbidden area, and no one is qualified to enter except himself.
