Chapter 552: The Road Ahead
(Thanks to my friend Jin Zhongliang for his support, thank you!)
"What are you worried about?" Long Tian really laughed from the bottom of his heart this time, was this thing so frightened that even his IQ dropped?
"I'm worried that you're going to tell the second prince?" Long Tian couldn't help but ask, "Will you?"
"Uh......" Lu Changqing was speechless for a while.
Think about it, this time, I told Long Tian everything I knew, everything about the second prince without reservation, and even said the conjecture, but it can be regarded as betraying the second prince to his home, even if Long Tian didn't kill him, would he really dare to tell the second prince?
This is something that you don't have to think about at all! Damn it, they all said that they were stupid and stupid, and they were really scared that they were about to become stupid.
"Okay, as long as you don't look for death yourself, no one will know about today's events, I'm leaving. With that, Long Tian turned around and left, without dragging his feet.
"Congratulations to my lordship, congratulations to my lord......" Lu Changqing waved again and again, his attitude was respectful, but when he raised his head, there was no longer Long Tian's figure in front of him.
"It's elusive!" Lu Changqing sighed lightly, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to himself with palpitations: "It's finally gone......"
"By the way, I took the jade pendant you carried, if someone looks for you with this jade pendant in the future, you know what to do, right?"
Lu Changqing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was so frightened by the sudden words that he almost fell down, and hurriedly reached out to touch it, and sure enough, the jade pendant he carried with him on his waist had long since disappeared.
Not knowing where Long Tian was, Lu Changqing could only salute deeply to the sky, and said respectfully: "The little one knows what to do, please rest assured, adult." ”
I didn't hear an answer for a long time, but after the scene just now, Lu Changqing couldn't be sure if Long Tian had really left, so he waited respectfully in place for half an hour, not daring to leave without permission.
It wasn't until the housekeeper came to invite him back to dinner that Lu Changqing confirmed that Long Tian had left, and he left the pavilion with the housekeeper in despair, and the housekeeper looked a little inexplicable.
After eating tastelessly, Lu Changqing returned to the room alone, closed the door, and fell into deep thought. After today's events, his fate can be said to have been tightly held in Long Tian's hands, he has to think about it: what should he do next?
And Long Tian, who left Lufu, found an inn to live in at random, and after a simple meal, he returned to his room and fell into deep thought: What should he do next?
Long Tian came to Tiankui City, first of all, he came to Zhu Hong and the second prince.
First, with the identity of Zhu Hong, the godsister, she returned from her studies and joined the godsister, and with the help of the godsister's relationship to join the second prince and the first family to have a future, it is logical, no one will doubt it.
Second, the second prince is at least on the surface of neutrality, did not participate in the battle for succession, and took refuge in the second prince, he can temporarily not participate in the fierce whirlpool of struggle, as a bystander to find and sort out clues, sort out the clues, so as to determine the specific course of action, waiting for the opportunity to move.
But now...... It's clear that this path is no longer going through!
So what is the next step?
Long Tian is in Tiankui City, it's not that there is no other way to go, but in his heart, he really doesn't want to take that road.
In Tiankui City, Long Tian still has two friends, and it is completely justifiable to bring him into the battle for the prince's succession, which is also logical and will not arouse suspicion.
These two friends are the brothers Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xiong who participated in the assessment of Yuanwu Academy with him. The twins were admitted to the Yuanwu Academy with him, Jin Huagang, and Mu Qingfeng, and later into the inner courtyard together, and the relationship has always been very good.
It's just that the two brothers didn't stay in the inner courtyard until they graduated, but soon after they were admitted to the inner courtyard of the Yuanwu Academy, they suddenly and unexpectedly dropped out and went home, and they didn't say what the reason was.
And now in retrospect, the brothers' withdrawal from school is obviously related to the prince's seizure of the heir, and the time is completely right.
The fathers of the brothers Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xiong are the imperial military gods, the general of the Zhenguo State, Shangguan Ba, in other words, they are also the brothers-in-law of the three princes, and they can be regarded as relatives of the emperor.
However, there is one thing that Long Tian doesn't understand, such a matter of the prince seizing the heir, whether it is actively or passively involved, and no matter how much confidence he has, before he wins the final victory, shouldn't he leave a way back for his family, especially his descendants?
And the Yuanwu Academy is precisely the best way back for the Shangguan brothers, as the imperial military god, can't Shangguan Ba understand this?
summoned Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xiong back to China in such an impatience, could it be that Shangguan Ba really had so much confidence in his royal son-in-law?
However, these were not the categories that Long Tian should consider, what he considered was the pros and cons of joining the Three Princes' faction through the Shangguan brothers.
Through the relationship between the Shangguan brothers, as a martial king who officially graduated from the Long Tianyuan Martial Academy, there is no problem at all to join the faction of the three princes, and it will not arouse suspicion, and it is even said that the faction of the three princes will not be able to ask for it.
However, once he joined the faction of the Three Princes, he was bound to stand at the forefront of the factional struggle, and with Long Tian's current strength, he happened to be the main force in the struggle between the two sides.
But in this way, it is contrary to Long Tian's original plan!
Long Tian's plan was to get as close as possible to this circle, but not to participate in the direct struggle, to observe as a bystander, to find the key to solving the matter of seizing the heir, and by no means to become a murderous knife in the hands of a certain prince.
Therefore, directly joining the faction of the Three Princes will definitely do more harm than good to Long Tian!
However, if it weren't for the Shangguan brothers, how could Long Tian get close to this circle?
After thinking about it, he never came up with an idea, and Long Tian gradually fell asleep in all kinds of chaotic thoughts.
Although he didn't come up with any clues, it was strange that this night, Long Tian slept surprisingly peacefully, and when he woke up, he only felt refreshed.
Shaking his head wordlessly, Long Tian laughed self-deprecatingly. In this matter, he seems to be too stubborn, so that he has drilled the horns.
If you have the ability to quell this rebellion of the royal family, it will naturally be a great joy, which will not only benefit the country and the people, but also add a heavy weight to the extermination of Cangyue Gate.
But if you can't quell the rebellion, can you really lose much?
Not!
