Chapter 0086: The Four Great Princes, Competing Against Each Other
Glancing at the earth demon general on the ground, the earth demon king said: "The boss, the third, the seventh, the tenth, are these the four people you recommend?"
Hearing this, the twelve earth demon generals suddenly retracted the cold glint in their eyes, raised their heads to look at the earth demon king, and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, yes!"
Nodding, the Earth Demon King shouted outside the main hall, "Order the Great Prince, the Third Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Tenth Prince to enter the palace!"
Then after the words were finished, there were guards outside the palace who left in a hurry, apparently to summon the four princes.
Seeing this situation, the twelve earth demon generals all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the next thing to do was to choose one person from the four to be the next earth demon king, for a while, the twelve people were divided into five queues, except for the three earth demon generals who had not opened their mouths from beginning to end, the remaining nine people were hostile to each other.
On the fierce beast pillar, a trace of contempt flashed in Zhu Tiancang's eyes.
These nine earth demon generals are really stupid, do you really think that the earth demon king is a fool?
When the nine of them were fighting just now, Zhu Tiancang obviously saw a cold light surging in the eyes of the Earth Demon King.
In other words, the Earth Demon King was not satisfied with these people's proposals, and it was even likely that he already had a clear goal of the heir in his heart.
Therefore, this time he summoned the four princes, I am afraid that this earth demon king is to pave the way for the prince in his mind, and even to deter these earth demon generals present, so that they will not have any different intentions to do that rebellious thing after his death.
At the same time, Zhu Tiancang was also curious.
The thirteen sons of the Earth Demon King, except for the land resentment that he killed, the four princes of Yi, Yan, Shuo, and Yao are the most outstanding, and the rest are mediocre in comparison.
Since the heirs chosen by the Earth Demon King are not these four princes, who among the mediocre Earth Demon Princes, was chosen by the Earth Demon King?
Moreover, judging from the previous actions of the demon princess, the latter was determined to help her son Earth Flame ascend to the throne, but she did not show any intention to target a certain prince, that is, the Earth Demon King who finalized the idea of the heir did not even say anything about his concubine.
"What a powerful Earth Demon King, being able to keep his mouth shut about the people next to him, and the protection of that heir can be said to have reached its peak. ”
sighed in his heart, Zhu Tiancang also learned a hand.
You can't keep everything without reservation, at least you have to keep a hand, and this hand is only known to you, and you can save your life at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Zhu Tiancang couldn't help but flash a trace of admiration in the eyes of the Earth Demon King, although the latter was the culprit who killed his father Zhu Gangqiang, but being able to be the king of the clan does have something worth learning.
After a while, the voice of the guards came, breaking the silence of the hall: "Prince Yi, Prince Yan, Prince Shuo, Demon Emperor Dao!"
As the voice fell, four steady and powerful footsteps came from the door of the main hall.
Zhu Tiancang also turned his head to look, wanting to see what these four most outstanding princes in the Earth Demon Clan looked like.
I saw four figures wearing black princely robes walking over, all of them with five-zhang tall bodies, and they had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and their domineering appearance was exposed when they raised their feet and steps, and their majesty was incomparable.
While walking, although the four of them all looked directly at the depths of the hall, the smell of gunpowder between them was not obvious to fools.
Especially after entering the main hall, the pace of the four people increased significantly, trying to throw the other three away and arrive first.
Seeing this, a trace of mockery flashed in Zhu Tiancang's eyes, and he muttered inwardly: "A group of idiots!"
Although I don't know why the Earth Demon King gave up these four people, I don't know what is brilliant about the Earth Demon Prince he chose.
But all monarchs inevitably have an unusual mood for their heirs.
Just like the emperors in the world, what they want to see is not a rival heir, but a scene of harmony among the heirs, which is a father's expectation, especially now that the earth demon king is about to die, how can they see the scene of this brother's wall.
Couldn't help it, Zhu Tiancang turned his head to look at the Earth Demon King, and sure enough, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the latter's eyes, and his face was a little blue, but because of his serious injury, it was difficult to see.
Soon, the four Earth Demon Princes came to the bottom of the high platform, knelt on their knees, and said, "Erchen greets his father!"
Hearing this, the Earth Demon King waved his hand and said, "Get up, the generals recommended the four of you as the next king of the Earth Demon Clan, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the four Earth Demon Princes, who were already in a grim atmosphere, were like ignited explosives almost instantly, and their hostility towards the other three was not concealed at all.
At this time, one of the Earth Demon Princes spoke: "Father, I am your elder and the elder brother of your brothers, and I should inherit this throne. ”
After speaking, Di Yi looked at the other three Earth Demon Princes and said, "Fellow virtuous brothers, please don't compete with your brother, and promise that you won't do anything to any brother afterwards." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Tiancang, who was on top of the fierce beast pillar, shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "It's really a second or five boy, what you say is obviously telling others that fighting with you is looking for death, you really can't hear that the demon king is a fool?"
Sure enough, the face of the Earth Demon King also became extremely ugly when Di Yi finished speaking, and after taking a deep look at Di Yi, the Earth Demon King looked at the three Earth Flame who were full of anger, and said, "Do you have anything to refute your eldest brother's words?"
Hearing this, Earth Flame suddenly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Father, it is true that the eldest brother is the eldest son, but the eldest brother has been immersed in women all these years, and even escaped in the battle ten years ago, resulting in the death of three thousand demon soldiers in Jiagu, based on this alone, the eldest brother cannot be the king, because he is not worthy!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the approval of Di Shuo and Di Yao, and the three of them seized this point and continued to attack Di Yi, exposing the fierce light in Di Yi's eyes, and almost hating the three of Di Yan to the bone.
In this regard, the Earth Demon King nodded, and then said: "Since Di Yi does not meet, then which of the three of you can take on this great responsibility." ”
Hearing this, the three of Earth Flame did not hesitate at all, and directly held their heads high and said: "Father, the son thinks that he can take on this great responsibility and lead the Earth Demon Clan to a more glorious future. ”
After speaking, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, obviously they didn't expect the latter to say the same thing to themselves, and for a while, the eyes of the three of them met, the sword light and sword shadow, the cold light was revealed, and even the murderous aura overflowed from the three of them.
And with the appearance of this murderous aura, Zhu Tiancang's eyes shrank, and he said secretly: "It's going to start." ”
Sure enough, the Earth Demon King on the throne was furious, and smashed a jade cup beside him, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, you still have me in your eyes~"
