Chapter 17: The Second Prince's Plans
"Xun'er, you shouldn't be so reckless, your third brother wants to earn stars, and you let him go, why do you want to get involved in this matter. It was the second prince's mother, Concubine Ji, who spoke.
Concubine Ji was wearing a gorgeous dress, elegant and vulgar, her voice was soft and crisp, but there was a touch of old age on her delicate face.
"Queen Mother, aside from the eldest brother, now the other princes are sharp, competing for the stars, if I still sit still, no matter who becomes the prince in the future, it will definitely be killed, it is really not good for us, no matter what, we must fight. ”
Mu Xun also replied thoughtfully.
"Having said that, but the mysterious figure behind Mu Ping will definitely help, with him, the odds are much better than yours, you have to think clearly, now you have the four-star Moon Rainbow Sword, you are still in the top three among several princes, once you lose the Moon Rainbow Sword, you can imagine the consequences. Concubine Ji said worriedly.
"Because of this, we should hurry up and think about our future, anyway, now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it,"
Not to be outdone, Mu Xun's decision this time was not a whim.
"Since Xun'er has made up his mind, I won't say anything, just take it as an experience, even if you lose, don't be too sad, there is still a lot of time, now among the princes, the most stars should be the eldest prince, fifteen stars, but there is still a long way to go from a hundred stars. ”
"Queen Mother, do you really think that the eldest brother only has fifteen star points? This is a cover-up, others can't see it, can I still not see it? The eldest brother is scheming, and the city is deep. Today's gambling fight, how do you think the eldest brother will let it go for no reason?"
"What do you mean?"
"Chu Fu's strength is well known, and he can't find the whereabouts of the "Second Turn Barrier Breaking Pill" for five months, which proves that the "Second Turn Barrier Breaking Pill" is impossible to find with ordinary means, how could the eldest brother go to this troubled water, and I don't think he can look down on this star, maybe he has more important things, and there are a lot of star points rewarded. ”
In fact, Mu Xun also knows that his eldest brother is not only a high cultivator, but also has many unfathomable characters standing behind him.
"Then why did you take on this task, didn't you know it was impossible?"
"Queen Mother, I have a plan, you dismiss others first, and I will explain it to you in detail. ”
After listening to what Mu Xun said, Concubine Ji waved her arm and said:
"Let all men stand aside, and no one is allowed to step through the door without command. ”
"Yes. I'll retire. ”
"Mother, now I only have four star points on my body, it stands to reason that I am ranked third, but there is a significant gap between the star points of the eldest brother and the fourth brother, even if I fail to gamble this time and lose to the third brother and the four-star Moon Rainbow Sword, it doesn't matter, at most I will start all over again. ”
"I have lived in the palace for a long time, and I don't like to have too many friends with people, there are no credible people around me, let alone people who help me, compared to other princes, I am the weakest. ”
"Therefore, with the help of this matter, I can leave the palace for May, these five months, it is a trivial matter to find the "Second Transformation Barrier Breaking Pill", and the most important thing is to take the opportunity to see if I can find someone to help me. ”
"If I can find like-minded people who are high-level and have a high level of cultivation and strength are willing to help me, what does it matter if I lose a few star points. ”
"There is a mysterious figure behind the third brother, which makes him leap thousands of miles, and the momentum is close to the eldest brother, thinking that what is going on today's court is also planned by that character, maybe he is sure that he can win this game. Mu Xun lowered his head and said in contemplation.
"However, even so, Chu Fu couldn't find it for five months, how could the person behind the third brother have a foolproof plan and be sure?" Concubine Ji hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Queen Mother, you forgot, this time my father said that even if I can't find it, I can provide clues and win, so if they can find clues, isn't it also a victory? That character thinks he understands his father's character very well, he must have figured out that his father would arrange it like this, in my father's heart, our ability is definitely not as good as Chu Fu, can we find the "Second Turn Barrier Breaking Pill", this father is very clear in his heart. ”
"Decide the outcome and find the "Second Turn Barrier Breaking Pill", the chance is very small, but there is still a glimmer of hope to find the clues, that character has guessed his father's mind in advance, so he instigated the third brother. ”
"Then how could the person behind Mu Ping know in advance that your father would set this gamble?"
"I don't know, but that's not the point right now. In this gambling fight, I also know the consequences, I think that my ability cannot be compared with that character, so the four-star Moon Rainbow Sword should lose to the third brother. The main thing for me is to take this opportunity to find someone to help me. ”
"Besides, if the third brother wins this time, he will not only be able to get my four-star Moon Rainbow Sword, but also add two star points, or even ten star points, plus his own star points, the momentum will be close to the eldest brother. ”
"Queen Mother, do you think that if the third brother really wins, the eldest brother will sit and wait for him to surpass him? The answer is yes, the eldest brother is ruthless, and the strength of the person behind him will definitely not be inferior to the person behind the third brother. ”
"Not only the eldest brother, but the other princes, none of them want to fight for the crown prince, it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch the third brother ascend step by step, if I lose this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing, they will think that I am not qualified to fight with them on the same stage, which can leave us time to breathe. Queen, don't you say?"
"Xun'er, the queen mother didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, I can't keep up with the train of thought, even so, you are also careful, although you princes are close relatives and flesh and blood, but they are competing against each other, the people in the court have their own objects of support, only you are the weakest, in their eyes, you are not worthy of their attention, but you must also do a good job to prevent someone from sneaking up behind the back, one less prince to compete, it is not a good thing for them. ”
"I know that, and I'll be careful. ”
"That's good, Xun'er has grown up, and I don't need to say anything, this is the platinum moon needle that your father rewarded me, and it can save your life at a critical time. ”
"Then I'll take it, don't worry, I'll take care of safety. Mu Xun put the platinum moon needle into the cuff.
"Then the queen mother, you rest first, I will go back and prepare, and I will leave tomorrow, and Xun'er will retire first. ”
"Go ahead, be careful all the way, and don't act recklessly. ”
"Got it, Xun'er retired. ”
Concubine Ji looked at the background of Mu Xun's departure, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably. Mu Xun had no intention of competing for the crown prince, but because of an incident that happened some time ago, he changed his mind.
And this idea not only changed his life, but also changed the entire Jinhong Dynasty.
