"Stop, who are you? ”

"Forget it, let them pass, it's important to hurry. ”

Just when Ji Chen was stopped by two soldiers on war horses, the eldest prince rode over on horseback. In the face of tens of thousands of troops, their faces still don't change and their faces are full of anger, these ten people are obviously not ordinary people. The eldest prince rode around Ji Chen, waved his hand and waved off the two soldiers and asked, "Where are you coming from and where are you going?"

"Phantom City. Ji Chen said lightly: "Find an old man." ”

"It seems that this person is very important to you. The eldest prince nodded, observed Ji Chen for a moment, and then ordered to continue the march. Ji Chen stood aside and watched the direction of the Great Prince leading an army of 50,000 to the secret realm, and suddenly became curious about this Great Prince of Lingxiao Country.

Ji Chen believed that Ling Xiaoguo had learned the news of the heavy losses of the 300,000 army, otherwise the great prince would not have led the 50,000 army to the battle. It's just that the eldest prince, who should have been in the limelight, didn't make things difficult when he saw a few people in their line, but just let them go with a few understatements.

Ji Chen didn't know much about the eldest prince, but judging from the unscrupulous competition for the throne between the second prince and the third prince, the two younger brothers did not take the eldest prince seriously. So many people, including those who think that the eldest prince should be a straw bale, or even a fat man with a fat head and big ears.

But now that he sees the eldest prince, he is not only not fat, but calm and introverted. More importantly, the eldest prince does not have the arrogance of the second prince or the arrogance of the third prince. This person is neither salty nor light, nor humble nor arrogant, even if he is not a prince, he should be a dragon and phoenix among people.

"What are you looking at, sir?"

Li Bing saw that Ji Chen had been looking at the army in the distance, and asked curiously.

"Nothing. Ji Chen smiled and said, "I just think that Ling Xiaoguo is becoming more and more lively." ”

......

Phantom City, Fengcheng General's Mansion.

Since the second prince took over the army of 300,000, Qiu Fengcheng of Lingxiao Kingdom has not slept a peaceful sleep for several days. Fortunately, the second prince took the army away after getting the talisman, otherwise Qiu Fengcheng felt that he would not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

The emperor is old, and his three sons have made no secret of their ambitions to compete for the throne, and in countless struggles, some have won and some have died, but there are countless others who are willing to join in. Qiu Fengcheng knew this, and he also knew that there would be people who would break in one after another.

As the commander of the 30,000 garrison, Qiu Fengcheng does not feel that he is a stupid person, and he does not think that he is a foolish and loyal person, and the reason why he is not in a hurry to express his position is because it is not yet time. Only at the most critical moment, can he, the garrison guarding the Phantom City, exert the greatest value and get the greatest benefits.

Now, Qiu Fengcheng not only sleeps well, but also wakes up laughing in his dreams. Far from affecting him, the 300,000-strong army became more and more prominent.

Qiu Fengcheng doesn't like to drink, otherwise he would have to get drunk tonight.

"General, someone is asking to see you. ”

Qiu Fengcheng put down the long knife he was wiping in his hand, raised his head and looked at the door and said, "Who is it?"

"General, it's the second prince. ”

"Second prince?" Hearing these three words, Qiu Fengcheng almost jumped up from his chair. The last thing he wants to hear or see now is the second prince. This guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures is simply a headache for Qiu Fengcheng. Although the second prince's stupid actions helped Qiu Fengcheng a lot, Qiu Fengcheng obviously didn't want to be grateful to him at all.

"You go to sue the second prince, just say that I have committed an old problem on the battlefield, and I have already fallen asleep, so I will talk about it tomorrow. Qiu Fengcheng thought about it, but still found a lame excuse. If the second prince really had a little brain, he should know that he didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"General, I see. ”

As soon as the man at the door finished speaking, a rush of footsteps came to mind outside the door. Immediately following Qiu Fengcheng, he heard the displeased voice of the second prince: "General Qiu, this prince heard that the general's old illness was hidden, so he brought the imperial doctor to visit the general." The general won't shut down and see the prince, right?"

"The second prince is strict. With Qiu Fengcheng's hurried voice, the second prince finally saw Qiu Fengcheng walking out of the house. It's just that Qiu Fengcheng walked very slowly, as if the pain was really unbearable, and even the salute was full of lameness.

The second prince frowned, glanced at Qin Zhen, and then took two quick steps and grabbed Qiu Fengcheng's arm and said, "The general is exempt from that set if he has an old illness." As he spoke, the second prince laughed and brought Qiu Fengcheng into the room uninvited.

After the two of them sat down, Qiu Fengcheng noticed Qin Ji standing beside the second prince. This man was cold, and the kind of cold he was used to seeing blood. At this point, Qiu Fengcheng, who had been on the battlefield, knew far more about the aura on Qin Zhen's body than the second prince.

However, Qiu Fengcheng was very smart, just glanced at it, then turned his head to look at the second prince, and said, "I don't know what is the important matter for the second prince to come late at night?"

"General, something big happened in the palace, and I know that the general has always been loyal, so I came here to ask the general for his opinion this time. The second prince said, and walked over with tears in his eyes and bowed down, first stunned Qiu Fengcheng, and then said sadly: "General, after the diagnosis and treatment of more than a dozen imperial doctors, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not survive tonight." I know that the general has always been loyal, and I have come to beg the general to close the gate of the Phantom City and wait for the return of the imperial brother to inherit the throne. ”

Qiu Fengcheng was really stunned this time.

His Majesty the Emperor is no longer good?

Although it is true that His Majesty has often summoned the imperial physician recently, as a garrison general, the palace's every move naturally cannot escape his eyes. Why was it okay two days ago, but since the second prince came back, he couldn't do it? And he listened to the second prince's intention to ask him to close the city gate and wait for the eldest prince to come back and inherit the throne?

As a general defending the city, it was not surprising that Qiu Fengcheng could take these things into account, but Qiu Fengcheng obviously ignored one important point. That's what the second prince is called. 陛xià is an honorific title that applies to kings and ministers, but not to fathers and sons.

"I don't know what the second prince means?"

Qiu Fengcheng asked deliberately in a long voice, and while asking, he observed the expression of the second prince. Will the second prince willingly watch the eldest prince inherit the throne? Thinking of this, Qiu Fengcheng suddenly understood that the second prince was here to fight for his position. Thinking of this, Qiu Fengcheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I naturally mean according to the meaning of the second prince...... "Qiu Fengcheng is not stupid, the second prince came to win over a garrison general with white teeth, Qiu Fengcheng is naturally unwilling to take such a big risk with him. It's just that Qiu Fengcheng was just halfway through his words, when he heard a strong voice in his ears: "Little Qiuzi, how can you be so rude to the second prince." ”

"Elder Li. ”

Qiu Fengcheng was too familiar with this voice, the Great Elder of the Phantom Xi Clan, an old man in his seventies who was still restless. This old man has always been good friends with the Qiu family, so Elder Li called the thirty-year-old garrison general Xiao Qiuzi, and Qiu Fengcheng not only did not dare to get angry, but respectfully greeted the past and paid respects.

"Xiao Qiuzi, do you understand what the second prince means?"

Qiu Fengcheng looked at Elder Li suspiciously, and said, "So the Phantom Xi Clan ......"

"Yes, our Phantom Clan will firmly support the Second Prince. Elder Li said with a smile: "The second prince is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and only the second prince can govern the Lingxiao Kingdom in an orderly manner. ”

"I see. Qiu Fengcheng said, kneeling in front of the second prince with a pop. This will make his old illness healed, and the whole person will not be verbose. Of course, it was the attitude of the Phantom Xi clan that made Qiu Fengcheng change his attitude towards the second prince. As the two major clans of the Lingxiao Country, the Phantom Xi Clan has a transcendent status in the Lingxiao Country. With the support of the Phantom Xi clan, the second prince already has a good chance of winning.

Speculation is a high-risk business. But obviously, the rewards of speculation can also be addictive.

However, Qiu Fengcheng, who climbed all the way up from the bottom, obviously knew that he couldn't go all the way to the dark, so while agreeing to the second prince, he didn't forget to leave a back road for himself. Therefore, after sending off the second prince and Elder Li, Qiu Fengcheng immediately ordered someone to quietly go out of the city before the city gate was closed to inform the eldest prince of this qiē.

Because even if the second prince succeeds to the throne, the eldest prince will lead his troops to kill back. But now that he has sent this news to the eldest prince, it is obvious that he will leave an impression in front of the eldest prince that the garrison is his person. In this way, he can ascend to the sky in one step and retreat to settle down.

With Qiu Fengcheng's support, the 30,000 garrison troops quickly dispatched, not only surrounding the imperial city, but also arresting those who were slow to react and did not understand the words of the second prince.

Overnight, the entire Phantom City suddenly became busy, and the torches held by countless soldiers lit up the huge Phantom City as if it were day. Many of the people of Phantom City can even hear small-scale battles. The sound of the monster's roar will appear in the Phantom City from time to time.

......

"Sir, it should be Phantom City ahead, right?"

Ji Chen looked up at the closed city gate and nodded. It is not unusual for the Phantom City to close the city gate at night, but there are many soldiers on the head of the city, and the current appearance of the great enemy makes Ji Chen have to feel a little strange.

The eldest prince and the third prince are now outside the city, and there is only one prince left in the city. And this prince obviously has a smart and ruthless Qin Scar by his side.

The answer is imminent.

The second prince took the most dangerous step by taking a risk.

"Ahh ”

Just as Ji Chen looked up at the city gate, a scream suddenly came from under the city, followed by several arrows piercing the sky with the sound of breaking wind, and fell directly on the soldiers at the head of the city.

After a while, the city gate opened, and more than a hundred soldiers ran out of the city gate with a half-old man. They were followed by thousands of soldiers on horseback, who had just run out of the city gates and were surrounded by them.
