Chapter 160: Strength Under the Ice (2/2)

Maybe for most people, it is unacceptable to fall from the former height, but Wen Ling can accept it, and even feels that this is what he wants, undisturbed study life.

In the year 236 of the Ya Kingdom, Wen Yuan had been the crown prince for two years, and after a rumor, he came alone to the harem where the princess was.

After saluting his mother, Wen Yuan motioned to his mother to step back from the left and right, and then said, "Mother, I'm going to do it, what do you think?" ”

The princess's face was grim: "The consequences of this matter are serious, if you want to do it, you must have a perfect plan." ”

Wen Yuan nodded: "I'm ready, and there won't be any omissions, just ask my mother to hand over everything you can use to me, and I will definitely live up to my mother's high expectations." ”

"Oh?" The princess smiled coldly, "Then how can I fully trust you." ”

"My mother has to believe it, because if I don't do it now, how can Yanyi be willing to let her own son be left behind? Sooner or later, she will find a way to solve you, and she will also find a way to beg her father to change the crown prince. ”

Wen Yuan's face was gloomy: "If we just hope that Wen Ling will not covet the throne, then wouldn't we entrust our fate to others?" Mother, tell me, are you willing to be a princess all the time? Or do you proactively cut out all threats directly? ”

Wen Yuan's words can be said to poke at the princess's sore spot, and she finally approved of her son's approach.

The people of the Wang family trust each other, but it is also very difficult, even if the princess is Wen Yuan's mother, she can't fully trust her son. She knows that her son is ambitious, but she also has her big family behind her, and her son wants to borrow family resources, yes, but this is undoubtedly a big gamble.

Now that Wen Yuan is already the prince, there is no need to gamble, she didn't want to do it, but it is indeed as he said, just in case.

After Wen Yuan left satisfied, the princess said to herself: "Wen Ling, I am also your little mother, don't blame me for being ruthless, I can only say that you are too dazzling and cover your brother's light." As long as you are alive, Yuan'er can only live under your shadow for a day. ”

In the matter of the throne, no competitor can ignore Wen Ling, because with Wen Ling's ability and his importance in Wen Yu's eyes, it is simply an existence that can change the pattern and regain the position with a single word. Neither the princess nor Wen Yuan wanted to risk keeping Wen Ling alive.

Wen Ling will go out from time to time, in fact, it is not difficult to attack him, the main difficulty is how to erase all traces after solving Wen Ling, so as not to let Wen Yu find out.

Wen Yu is not too old now, and he can still have another son. If what Wen Yuan did was discovered by Wen Yu, he might also give up this son like this.

Everything was going on quietly in secret, and Wen Ling didn't know about it, he read a lot of books, and traveled a lot of places, his horizons became more and more broad, and his thoughts gradually deepened.

Regarding his innate ability to manipulate water, Wen Ling didn't dare to reveal it in front of anyone, and he didn't want to be regarded as a real outlier. Now, apart from his parents, only the maids, old mothers, and guards who have accompanied him since childhood know his secrets. And he barely needed it, and he almost forgot that he could manipulate water.

Wen Ling only knew that he had a very good affinity with water, that he would not drown even if he sank to the bottom of the river, and that even with his eyes closed, he could feel the trajectory of the water's movements, and even control them. But he still didn't dare to use his abilities casually.

He remembered what the wizard named Huang Si had said to him back then, was it to ask him to become a teacher and teach the human race?

But he felt that he was not qualified enough, and that he had not yet reached the level of being a teacher.

In the winter of 236, on a snowy day, the conspiracy lurking in the darkness finally began to act.

Wen Ling's itinerary had already been reported to Wen Yuan, and this winter, he was going to the Great Wilderness, which was a good opportunity. When necessary, it is convenient to disguise himself as a fierce beast and kill him.

Relying on the channels given by his mother's family, Wen Yuan sent people to go around many circles and hire a group of people from abroad.

The men quietly followed Wen Ling, following him.

It wasn't until Wen Ling and his party really came to the side of the Great Wilderness that the men and horses hired by Wen Yuan immediately accelerated and caught up with him.

The hired group of people were used to assassination, they prepared strong bows and sharp arrows, approached the back of Wen Ling and his party, and shot directly a rain of arrows.

Wen Ling only brought seven people, a personal maid, and six guards, all on horseback. A rain of arrows passed, and the three guards at the back of the guard immediately fell from the arrows.

The remaining four people realized that someone was chasing them, and hurriedly fled on horseback, while the killer behind them was in hot pursuit.

There are more than 20 people in this group of killers, all of them are experienced, not ordinary people, etc., they also prepared horses, and when they saw Wen Ling and the others fleeing, they immediately chased after them.

At this time, the Terrans had not yet developed the archery technique of riding and archery, and they could not shoot arrows on horses, so the two groups of men and horses could only chase and escape.

Originally, Wen Ling and they could escape for a while, but as soon as they escaped, they fled to the river.

It's winter, and the river is completely frozen, so even though there is no ferry, you can find a way to get there.

The four of them on Wen Ling's side immediately rode onto the frozen river.

But after going up, a few people regretted that the frozen river was not an ordinary ground, in fact, the horse's paw was very slippery on it, and the speed of movement was greatly hindered. And the pursuers behind also quickly discovered this, they rode to the river, and did not rush to the ice to pursue Wen Ling and the others, but directly drew their bows and arrows by the river.

"Be careful!" One of the guards stuck behind Wen Ling just in time, trying to block the arrows for him.

Wen Ling's heart fluttered violently, why, why would he let people sacrifice for him? It could have not been so .......

Beneath the surface of the ice, there is power, a vast and boundless power, a force that the human race cannot resist.

Wen Ling is well aware of this power, and it is like instinct, which can be manipulated at will. He listened to the surging sound and felt its flow, and a pale blue light gradually drifted from his body.

In an instant, the solid ice surface shattered, and a water dragon rose into the sky!

The spinning water dragon turned a corner and rushed forward, engulfing several arrows in an instant, and the momentum did not decrease, carrying the surging power all the way to the shore of the killers.

Seeing this utterly otherworldly spectacle, the killers panicked and wanted to flee.

But the water dragon was extremely fast, and the killers were caught up before they could flee far. The huge body of the water dragon was indestructible, and it directly hit this group of killers, and the killers' bodies were directly shattered, and blood flew all over the ground in an instant.

A pale blue light flashed from Wen Ling's body, although faint, but Wen Ling could feel its presence, it was this light that controlled all the water, he pumped the water out of the river again, and then turned into a spinning water dragon, flying forward.
