Chapter 64: Ambush "How could it be you?"

Shen Yan looked at the person in front of him, not understanding how the third brother would let him answer. Moreover, according to his temperament, most of the time he went to the border city with the third brother to grab merit, why did he suddenly change his temperament and come here to pick him up?

The visitor smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth.

"Why can't it be me?"

Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Big brother, you have always been busy with official business, why do you have the time to come and pick up my brother in person?"

The seventh prince is not a fool, and he knows very well that the third brother and the eldest brother do not agree. Therefore, whoever is sent in this matter will not be the turn of the eldest brother.

Shen Yao walked out from behind the grass, followed by two men in black. They had torches in their hands and knives tied around their waists. Shen Yan glanced at it, his appearance was unfamiliar, he didn't seem to have seen it in Lancheng.

"The third child led the troops to the border city, and I was originally left behind in Lancheng. But I don't think I'm worried about you, so I just come over and take a look. ”

Shen Yao walked towards Shen Yan as he spoke, Shen Yan spent a period of time in the rain of swords, guns and arrows, and suddenly smelled the strong smell of blood on Shen Yao's body. Almost at the same time, he heard the sound of rustling in the grass, and he couldn't help but subconsciously take a few steps back, separating himself from Shen Yao.

"Seventh brother, what's wrong?"

A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and lightning struck, making Shen Yao's face even more eerie at the moment. He didn't stop walking, and he came straight to Shen Yan. At the same time, more than a dozen black-clothed people appeared in the grass behind him, with swords flashing in their hands, thinking that they had been in ambush for a long time.

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?"

Shen Yan looked in all directions, and slowly retreated quietly. In front was the eldest brother's ambush, and behind was the border city, from which he had just escaped, so he could never go back. So he had to find a way to get out of the woods.

"It's not interesting. It's just that you and the third brother have a deep relationship, and you are a little jealous. The father and the emperor protect the third child everywhere, and your mother and concubine also regard him as her own son, and in the end, you, the prince who should have the best chance to inherit the throne, did not fight or grab, but was very enthusiastic to help him in turn. ”

Shen Yao went against the norm in the past, and at this moment he showed his vicious side. He looked at Shen Yan's eyes, as if looking at a prey, which made Shen Yan suddenly feel that he was in a catastrophe and a little uneasy.

"I'll just tell you about it, I wanted to kill the third child a long time ago. Unfortunately, his life is too good, and he always escapes again and again. Since I can't move him for the time being, I must at least break one of his arms or break one of his legs, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. Don't you wonder why I'm here? Ah, let me tell you, the third one, he sent to meet you, and killed all the soldiers for me. Don't worry, you'll be going to be with them soon. Kill you, the third child should hurt more than a broken arm, right?"

Shen Yan was surprised by his words, although he already had a rough idea of this formation in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little shocked when he really heard it.

"Why?"

Just like when he was in the grove of Xuanwu Mountain, because he was afraid of his brothers killing each other, he deliberately talked to the third brother the night before, hoping that when he faced off with other brothers, he would show some mercy to his subordinates.

I remember that the third brother told him at that time that the royal family struggled, the weak eat the strong, and there was no mercy, if you don't want to see it, you can go back now. Your father and mother have always loved you and want you to escape the battle for the throne and live the life you like. So you don't have to wade into this troubled water at all, just be your free and easy Seventh Prince.

He refused to leave, and he was reluctant, so he insisted on staying, and later entered the forest and met the eldest brother, only then did he really understand what the third brother meant. It's that he's too naïve and thinks everything is too good. Sometimes, people will be carried away by power and status, and even if they are biological brothers, they will not escape the fate of cannibalism.

That time, the third brother was hit by an arrow in order to save the wood, but fortunately, the injury was not serious and there was no major problem. After meeting in the Imperial City, no one mentioned that incident, as if it had never happened. They know each other that the position of the crown prince is undecided for a day, and there will be no peace after all.

He didn't listen to the advice of the third brother, and he always followed the third brother. This naturally formed an antagonistic relationship with the eldest brother's side. He already understands how cruel reality is, but he still believes that before that time, everything can be changed. What's more, now that the enemy is present, they should be unanimous with the outside world, but they didn't expect it to come to an end, and sure enough, he was too naïve.

"Why?"

Shen Yao repeated, laughing wildly. "You still ask me why? Oh, my good seventh brother, are you too innocent or am I too cruel to be honest, I don't want to be like this, after all, you are the most beloved child of your father and the queen of Xia, and you have been out of the palace and ignore the government and politics. Now that you've come to this point, it's only because you're too nosy!"

Shen Yao's eyes lit up, and what he said was gritting his teeth. "Isn't it good to be a chic little seventh master? you have to follow the third ass and be at his mercy and listen to him. I just said that my father favored the third child, and I couldn't help him, and I have endured this tone for a long time, so I want to give him a big gift. I want to see if something happens to you, how he will explain to his father and Empress Xia!"

"Ah~ There's one more thing I'll tell you by the way. Do you and the third child suspect that there is a mole in Lancheng? Otherwise, how could your whereabouts in the border city be exposed for no reason? Hehe, I am quite proud of this incident, what kind of cleverness does the third child boast of being extremely smart, do you think that if you dress up Mu Yan, I will not recognize it? You like acting, why won't I cooperate?"

Shen Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's you!?"

"Yes, that's me. ”

Shen Yao nodded, and replied simply and without concealment. "I have been in contact with Su Moxie in private, he is not a good person, I am not a fool, everyone wants such things as status and rights. But fortunately, we have a common goal, and that is the third child. Since he is willing to come up with an idea to help me get rid of the third child, why don't I do it? After that, I will have a good competition with him, and whoever wins will be the overlord of the world!"

Shen Yan took a step back when he heard this, and stumbled away. He shook his head bitterly, gritted his teeth, and said: "Big brother, would you rather kill your own brothers with outsiders than get rid of outsiders with your brothers? The third brother has competition with you, but has he ever harmed you? You have provoked three or four times, but the third brother has ignored it, which shows that he has a little brotherhood in his heart. I don't understand, what is it that blinds your heart, and how can it make you have such extremely pathetic thoughts?"

Shen Yao looked at Shen Yan coldly, and his words did not carry any warmth. "Of course you don't understand. The crown prince should be inherited by his son-in-law. The Queen of Xia only gave birth to one prince from you, so you are eligible. But you have no intention of taking the throne and are willing to give it up. Then, according to the rules, the eldest son should be appointed to inherit. But the queen of Xia has the intention to cultivate the third child, and the father and emperor are also extremely partial, this prince is about to fall on his head, how can I be convinced? Even if this position is not me, there is still the second child, no matter how he is arranged, it will not be his turn!"
