Chapter 682: The Struggle for the Throne

It was only after a while, and Zhou Huan had already come to the Xihua Empire. The Xihua Empire has changed too much now, because after the war, it is the Great Rule.

The Xihua Empire is the winner this time, and it can be said that the current Xihua Empire has become more prosperous. Now the people of the Xihua Empire are very prosperous, and after Zhou Huan determined the goal, he flew directly over.

It's still that house, and this is also the house where Zhou Huan Duanmuxue and his group have lived together for a long time. After so many years, this house has changed a lot, but when he returns here, Zhou Huan still has a trace of emotion.

There was no one in the yard, and apparently they were all in the house now. I just don't know what they're discussing, it seems to be very intense.

Zhou Huan pushed the door and walked in, and a group of people looked outside at the same time. Now everyone's strength is very strong, even if it is his own apprentice, the Eighth Emperor, he is now at the strength of the first level of the Holy Magician.

Such strength surprised Zhou Huan, but thinking about the dragon qi assistance of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, with the addition of various factors chosen by God, it is reasonable to have such an achievement.

Compared with a few years ago, the current Eighth Prince has matured a lot. The eyes under the sword's eyebrows were now even sharper. And he also has a trace of murderous aura on his body, which has been cultivated by many years of military career.

To be able to walk in unnoticed among so many masters, especially among those with the strength of Duanmu Xue, a celestial magician realm, such a person is really terrifying.

And when everyone looked over, they found that the person who came was actually Zhou Huan. Everyone was surprised, they couldn't imagine that this person would be Zhou Huan, and everyone was stunned.

Zhou Huan smiled: "What, aren't you welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome, of course. How can the master not be welcome to come to me. "Probably since he was a child, the eighth prince has already had a blind admiration for his master, so he is very happy about Zhou Huan's arrival.

The Eighth Prince quickly stood up and came to Zhou Huan's side. Zhou Huan smiled: "I've grown up." Then the Eighth Prince gave Zhou Huan a hard hug, and Zhou Huan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Letting go of the Eighth Prince, Zhou Huan punched the Eighth Prince's chest, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it is already the strength of a holy magician, it seems that you have indeed worked hard over the years." ”

The Eighth Prince smiled, and then said very happily: "It's great that the master is here, and we are also worried about you these days." ”

"Oh. Is something wrong?" Looking at the appearance of everyone, Zhou Huan asked suspiciously.

"My father has a problem. ”

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" asked Zhou Huan.

The eighth prince sighed and said sadly: "My father is critically ill now, and I don't know how long I can last?"

"How is that possible!" Zhou Huan said in surprise: "Your Majesty's health is very good, at least you can live for more than 20 years." How could it be that it didn't work so soon?"

"Poisoning, my father's severe poisoning. Now it's a lack of retraction. The person has also fallen into a severe coma and can no longer hold on for long. The Eighth Prince said in a deep voice.

"What the hell is going on, tell me in detail. Zhou Huan came to Duanmu Xue's side and began to ask about the beginning and end of this matter.

The unification of the mainland was originally a very exciting thing for everyone in the Xihua Empire, even Yang Hao as the emperor. I am also very happy. To be able to be a founding emperor is undoubtedly a very good thing.

But he did not hold on to this time, and even the unification of several great empires, he did not hold on. Now he has entered a severe coma and has not woken up for more than half a month. It is precisely because of this that the Eighth Prince did not return with the Iron Legion when Enriel's territory was in danger.

"There was no sign of the poisoning of my father, and he suddenly collapsed. Now our empire is in turmoil, especially the struggle for the throne. My two elder brothers are even more fierce, and there have been many real fights. ”

Zhou Huan fell into deep thought, and then asked, "How is your situation?"

"My situation. The eighth prince smiled bitterly: "There are many people in the court who support me to become the emperor, but there are not too many of them, and most of them are waiting and watching." After all, now the emperor is critically ill, and even the crown prince has not been established. ”

Zhou Huan nodded and said: "So it's uncertain, most people still have to see how the emperor decides." ”

"That's right. ”

"Then who does Your Majesty really mean, I think he will always choose one of these princes. Zhou Huan said.

At this time, the eighth prince proudly straightened his chest, and then said: "The master is not me bragging, if it really depends on the choice of the father, then it will definitely be me." After listening to the master's advice, the eldest prince had already failed, and then my fourth brother and seventh brother began to fight, but all this was not as good as the military exploits I had made outside. ”

Duanmu Xue also smiled at this time and said: "This kid is very powerful, it can be said that most of the rivers and mountains of the Xihua Empire were defeated by him." Without him and your Iron Legion, the Holy Heavenly Pavilion wouldn't have had many easy decisions to make."

The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly twice: "This is all taught by the master, and he also gave me such an iron legion, if this can't make a difference, then I'm not too wasteful." ”

"No, you don't need to be presumptuous, even in a strong army. It's also useless to have an incompetent commander, you've done a good job. Zhou Huan patted the eighth prince on the shoulder.

"In that case, we just need to wake up His Majesty the Emperor. Zhou Huan said.

"This is not an easy thing to do, His Majesty the Emperor does not know what poison he has been infected, it is unusually strong. Anyway, we don't have a way to do it now. "The eighth prince is very distressed, if he has a father, then his throne can also be determined, and he will not allow those two princes to make trouble unreasonably now.

"That's right, Ye Yinzhu and I have already tried, whether it is my light system recovery or Yinzhu's life recovery, it is only to extend life, but it can't make him wake up. Lofe frowned, helpless.

Ye Yinzhu sat next to Gabri and nodded, looking helpless about the emperor's poisoning.

"Don't forget, I still have the Shennong ruler, this thing can cure all kinds of poisons, I believe it should be able to save Your Majesty, I will call the Shepherd Elder over now. And you hurry up and prepare, I just heard what you said, if my analysis is correct, it is estimated that now the two princes are about to force the palace, and no one is more anxious about this throne than them, the founding emperor. ”

Next, Zhou Huan launched the underground intelligence network that has completely covered the empire in the past few years. This aspect of intelligence has allowed Boyka to expand to other countries, but the base is still the capital of the Empire, and it is also the most widely informed.

Countless news entered Zhou Huan's hands, and a group of people began to analyze. Now the most critical moment of the Xihua Empire. Everyone didn't dare to be careless, and at the same time, Zhou Huan had to do some wooing.

The first one to be wooed was Duke Violet, and Duke Violet could be said to be completely closed at this time. His two sons were also taught by him to go into his own home, and they were strictly forbidden to go out or communicate with the outside world.

It is precisely because of this that Ian is not here at this most critical moment. But all this couldn't stop Zhou Huan, Duke Violet was drinking tea alone in the courtyard at this time, and Zhou Huan and Duanmu Xue were already standing by his side.

Violet looked at Zhou Huan in shock, his guards didn't notice it at all, and when he saw Zhou Huan, Duke Violet quickly calmed down.

"It's hard to believe that after so many years, you have grown to this point. So, is there something coming to me today?" Duke Violet shook his chair, as if he didn't care about Zhou Huan at all.

"Of course, the Xihua Empire has now become what it is now, and Lord Violet, who is the pillar, should also say so. Zhou Huan smiled.

"It looks like you should be a lobbyist for the Eighth Prince, so I'm really sorry, I don't want to participate in this battle for the throne. Duke Violet took a sip of tea and shook his head.

Zhou Huan still smiled, and then said, "Do you not want to participate, or are you not sure when to participate?"

Violet glanced at Zhou Huan and did not speak. And Zhou Huan continued: "It stands to reason that it should not be necessary to call my two sons back. After all, the eldest prince, General Patton, is outside, so isn't it a bit too much to call him back and be grounded. ”

The corners of Violet's mouth gradually showed a smile, it seemed that she couldn't get rid of her disease.

No one knows what the two of them are talking about here, and when Zhou Huan and the others left, no one noticed.

Zhou Huan and Duanmu Xue walked down the street and asked, "I just found Cotton in Duke Violet's mansion, it seems that there is nothing wrong." Speaking of which, Cotton is also the guy Zhou Huan and Duanmuxue and others met for the first time, and it seems that he and Duanmuxue and others are friends who grew up together.

"That's right, he's still in the Violet family, and he should be a baronial officer now. "I remember that after Cotton chose this path, he joined the War College, and at that time he still had some connections with Duanmuxue and others, but the whole person was also much more reserved.

After all, as the seed of the Violet family, he will be an officer in the future, and there is a high probability that he will still be a general, and his future is limitless. And Duanmu Xue's group of people are still civilians, and they don't know what will happen in the future.

Because of this, Cotton's path is different from theirs, and he has gradually drifted apart. (To be continued......)
