Lingyun Palace, on the Jinluan Palace.

"Father, this is the head of the bandit I got. With a smile on his face, the third prince respectfully handed over the wooden box in his hand.

Last night, in order to fight for this wooden box, he and the eldest prince's side started a fierce battle, and in the end, after both sides paid a heavy price, it was he who came out on top.

On the side, the eldest prince's face was gloomy, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Of his eight staff, five were killed and three were seriously injured last night, but in the end they were defeated.

On the throne, Lingyun Guojun took the wooden box and was just about to inspect it.

"Your Majesty, the second prince asked to see him, saying that he had obtained the head of the bandit leader. An old eunuch walked in to report.

"Oh?" Lingyun Guojun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Biography." ”

Soon, the second prince came quickly with a wooden box in his hand, bowed down and said, "Father, this is the head of the bandit I got." ”

"Second brother, you won't just make a head, just want to make up for it, you must know that it is a crime of bullying the king. A sneer appeared at the corner of the third prince's mouth.

There is only one bandit leader, how can there be two heads.

The second prince smiled slightly, "Whoever bullies the king, wait for the father to check it, and it will naturally understand." ”

After saying that, he handed over the wooden box.

The two wooden boxes are placed together in basically the same style.

Lingyun Guojun didn't say anything, and opened the wooden box casually.

"Father, the biggest feature of the bandit leader is that he has a beard. The third prince seemed to be afraid that the emperor would admit his mistake, so he hurriedly said.

As he spoke, he glanced at the second prince very proudly.

The second prince just smiled slightly and did not respond.

Lingyun Guojun glanced at the head in the wooden box, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

"It is true that a man has committed the crime of deceit. He picked up the jade cup and took a sip of tea, "What do you say?"

"The crime of bullying the king should be killed, but the second brother is a prince after all, so he can be dealt with lightly, and he only needs to beat two hundred boards to set an example. The third prince hurriedly said.

"What do you think?" Lingyun Guojun looked at the second prince.

The second prince bowed slightly, "Erchen thinks that the method that the third brother said is feasible. ”

Lingyun Guojun nodded, "Come on, pull the third prince down and hit the two hundred boards!"

Well?

The third prince was stunned.

The eldest prince on the side also raised his head suddenly, very surprised.

"Father. The third prince's face was a little ugly, "Did you say something wrong?"

"See for yourself!" A trace of anger appeared in Ling Yun Guojun's eyes, and he directly knocked over the wooden box of the third prince to the ground.

"Bang!"

A bluestone the size of a human head fell out.

"This can't be!" the third prince was shocked.

What he got was obviously a head, how could it turn into stone?

Immediately, he suddenly turned to look at the second prince, "You cheated me, you deliberately put the stone in the box, right?"

The second prince smiled slightly: "Third brother, soldiers are not tired of cheating." Won't you also rebel against my man and let him poison me?"

As early as in that valley, Yun Yang had put the real head in the Qiankun Ring, and what he carried on his back was always this stone.

Of course, he only learned the truth this morning.

"Second brother, good means. The third prince bit the pressure and suppressed the surging anger in his heart.

The eldest prince on the side, his face also turned pale.

For this wooden box, both of them suffered heavy losses, but in the end, they found that they were fighting for only a stone.

In other words, the second prince used a stone to make them both lose.

And most importantly, all this was shown in front of the emperor.

What would the emperor think of them?

Stupidity, or incompetence?

In this assessment, they completely lost.

Big loss, big loss!

"I promised that the winner of this assessment would be rewarded. Lingyun Guojun looked at the second prince: "What do you want?"

The second prince bowed down and said, "The son has the courage to want the spiritual fire in the emperor's treasury. ”

The Emperor nodded, "That's right." ”

"Father Xie. A flash of joy appeared in the eyes of the second prince.

Yunyang's first condition, he completed.

"Stand down!" Lingyun Monarch waved his hand.

After the three of them walked away, Emperor Lingyun looked at the old eunuch on the side, "He Lao, what do you think?"

The old eunuch was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Behind the second prince, there must be a master to help. ”

"It coincides. Emperor Lingyun said with interest: "Now, I really want to know who this master is. ”

......

......

The residence of the three princes.

The third prince, who had been beaten with two hundred boards and a bloody buttocks, was asking the maid to help with the medicine.

Although the maid's movements were already very light, he was still grinning in pain and sweating profusely.

"Third brother, how are the injuries?" the eldest prince walked in with a concerned expression.

The third prince endured the pain and sneered, "Big brother, don't pretend, you're here to see my jokes!"

A dignified son, but he was beaten and his farts bloomed.

This is a joke in itself.

What made him even more aggrieved was that this punishment was proposed by himself.

Typical lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.

"I really don't want to see you laugh. The eldest prince shook his head, and said, "I came to you to talk to you about joining forces." ”

"Join forces?" the third prince raised his eyebrows.

He and the eldest prince have always been-for-tat, and they are incompatible.

"That's right, join forces!" said the eldest prince, "Before getting rid of the threat of the second child, you and I will temporarily unite." ”

The third prince's expression changed slightly, "My father has strictly ordered me to confess, and competition is okay, but you must not kill your siblings." ”

This is also the reason why he did not directly poison the second prince before.

"Of course I didn't attack the second child directly, I'm not that stupid. The eldest prince said, "Why do you think the second child won this time?"

The third prince's expression moved, "What do you mean...... Yunyang?"

The eldest prince nodded, "Yunyang's power, you and I have learned it this time, as long as you get rid of this person, it is equivalent to cutting off the arm of the second child, and the second child will naturally have no threat." ”

"That's right. The third prince said thoughtfully: "Then what do you want to do?"

"In a month, the princess of Genglan Kingdom will come to visit our country, and all the princes and staff will participate, and we can ...... like this at that time," the eldest prince whispered in his ear.

"Good idea. The third prince's eyes lit up, "Big brother's move, it's really murderous without seeing blood!"

The eldest prince smiled: "This is the purpose of my search for you, although this plan is good, but it needs your cooperation." ”

"Okay, I agree. The third prince did not hesitate.

"So, I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

There was a cold smile in the eyes of both of them.

A month later, Yunyang will die.
