It can be said that Lansa's return this time can be regarded as a complete detonation of the originally calm Twin Moon City. The battle for the throne has also really surfaced. The aristocratic families who were originally waiting for the opportunity to move also began to become ready to move.

However, in the presence of the king, everyone can only pretend to maintain a semblance of peace.

After all, the king, despite his old age, is still a ruthless character. Although he also knew that he was already powerless in the face of his sons' struggle, as long as he was still in the day, he would never allow these things to be made public. He wants his sons to know that he is still the true ruler of the Land of the Moon! As long as he is still in the day, he will not let them turn the sky upside down in his own hands!

Therefore, the king only praised Lanza's performance on this expedition very officially, and then rewarded him. But the king's incomprehensible expression seemed to give some hint to the people below, which made Landa and Lan's mood a little complicated.

The nobles present, although they were silent on the surface, the meaning in their eyes was also different.

Everyone, we are waiting for an opportunity.

"I also brought a treasure with me when I came back this time." Lanza said.

"What baby? Present it to everyone to see. The king asked absent-mindedly, for ordinary objects could not be found in his eyes.

Lan Sa only smiled slightly, and then he said with a little regret: "Father, this treasure, I'm afraid it can't be presented to the palace, so I can only ask my father to go and see it in person." The place here is too small to fit. ”

It turned out that the treasure Lan Sa was talking about was not an object, but a giant beast dozens of meters long!

This giant beast was originally the war beast of the Tianyun Kingdom that Lansa set out to fight this time, and it was invincible on the battlefield, and it was a very rare war weapon, roaring chariot! It's very difficult to deal with, and I don't know how many soldiers there are in the Land of the Moon, who died at its hands!

Later, the Kingdom of Tianyun was destroyed, and this war beast was transferred to Lansa's hands.

Lanza was well-informed, but even he had never seen anything like it. Lanza thought to himself that if this war beast could be used by him, it would be a good way to increase the strength of the Moon Nation. But helplessly, when they first captured this giant beast, they tried many ways but failed to tame it, so this time they dragged it back to Twin Moon City, just to let the people also see it, and at the same time wanted to find another way to tame it.

Sure enough, after the king saw such a magical war beast with his own eyes, his eyes also lit up instantly, but this time it was from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, well done!" The king complimented.

The expressions on the faces of several princes were extremely subtle. Only Rand looked curiously at the giant beast roaring in its cage.

"Today, I'm also a little tired, you all go back! As for this giant beast, it's really rare, and we can't just look at it. Put it in the city another day, and let my people open their eyes too! The king rubbed his temples and said.

After everyone had dispersed, an old man with a rickety man, but on crutches, lingered at the door of the main hall for a long time.

The old man was the prime minister of the principality, named Archimedes, and his face was full of age spots, and he looked older than the king, and his movements were not very neat. But his eyes are still cunning, which makes people feel incomprehensible.

"My lord, aren't you going back?" His waiter said respectfully.

"Don't worry, I see the king, it seems that there is something to do, and he wants to talk to me." Archimedes uttered this sentence meaningfully.

In the apse, the king has already set up a chessboard.

Archimedes trembled and sat down in the seat opposite the king.

The two old men just went back and forth and began to play chess.

Finally, Archimedes spoke: "Your Majesty, what are your plans for the return of His Royal Highness the Third Prince this time?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to pretend to be confused, what the old minister means, Your Majesty actually understands it better than anyone else, doesn't you?" Archimedes asked rhetorically, then moved the piece. A look of pity appeared on his face: "General." It seems that His Majesty's mood today seems to be a little restless. ”

"Is there one? I think it's your chess skills that are getting better and better, and I can't help but think of my younger brother, who died young, and who was also a chess genius......" said the king meaningfully.

Archimedes naturally understood what the king meant.

After the death of the previous king, the battle for the throne that year was also quite tragic. At that time, it is not an exaggeration to describe Shuangyue City as a river of blood.

After a very tragic struggle, there was only one person left alive, and that was the current king.

Therefore, now that the king suddenly mentions his younger brother who died in the battle for the throne, he is afraid that he is also worried about something.

"Then Your Majesty, which prince do you like the most now?" Archimedes asked.

The king looked at Archimedes intriguingly, and said, "Actually, you old fox know it in your heart, don't you? My favorite is naturally my youngest son, Rand. It's a pity that his personality is too soft, and he doesn't have any experience in the world, so he doesn't have a little bit of his own power behind him. This throne, he is afraid that he will not have the life to sit on. And my other three sons, Landa and Lan'er, were already my right-hand men during the struggle for the throne twenty years ago, and no one knows the doorway in this struggle better than them. And Lanza, who is in the prime of life, is not married yet, so he has no worries, the most sharp, and the most like me back then. But his personality is a little unlikable. Coupled with the fact that he has been fighting abroad all year round, his foundation in this Twin Moon City is probably not as good as his two elder brothers. And this is the situation that the nobles are analyzing now, right? Archimedes? ”

Archimedes just smiled, then rubbed his eyes, and said: "The minister is old, and he is useless, his memory is getting worse and worse, and his ears are also deaf, and many times, he can't hear what others are saying clearly." ”

"You old fox!" The king said helplessly.

When Archimedes came out of the palace, the attendants helped him into the carriage.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" The squire asked.

"This old thing, I don't want to say a little bit of air. But it doesn't matter. Archimedes said.

The attendant understood: "Your Excellency already has a candidate for your eye?" Is it His Royal Highness the Third Prince? ”

"Lanza? No, no, no, it can't be him. He is a suitable candidate for the throne, but he is not mine. He's too hard to control and too thoughtful. So this guy will not only not help me, but will also become a stumbling block for me! You have instructed that from this day onwards, all these princes will be placed with eyeliner and their every move will be reported on time. ”

"What about His Highness Rand? Is there eyeliner next to him too? The squire asked.

"Rand? Since you want to do it, you must naturally do it foolproof. I'm not going to let my plans have the slightest chance of surprises. Archimedes said meaningfully.
