Chapter 136: A Common Enemy
The thirteen princes stood in place for a long time and didn't move, what was he thinking in his heart Xue Yutang didn't know, but Xue Yutang suddenly felt a chill in his body, the kind of coldness that came out of his bones, ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, but this ruthlessness reveals a kind of sadness in many cases, every time the old and the new alternate means a ruthless purge, no one wants to be a person who is cleansed.
"Let's go......" The thirteenth prince seems to have lost his previous spirit, he is the winner, and he has become a winner with an unbearable attitude, this victory also makes him have a feeling of raising his eyebrows, and he also likes to look at the loser's remorseful expression, but the words of the second brother just now made it all boring, and even felt that he was a complete loser.
The two came to the city gate of the city, the thirteen princes raised their heads to look at the huge city gate, it is said that the companion of the year was the younger brother of the ancestor emperor came here to establish, in order not to miss the imperial city, deliberately imitated the imperial city to establish, now a thousand years have passed, the imperial city has been expanded several times, completely lost the original appearance, but this companion still retains the appearance of the time when it was built.
Several guards ran to the front and laboriously pushed open the city gate, the creaking sound shook people's hearts, as the city gate slowly opened, the door kneeled and put down the arms of the sergeant, the thirteen princes didn't even look at it, walked through the crowd with steps, the thirteen princes' army began to drive into the city one after another, and brought the surrendered sergeants down.
Xue Yutang followed the Thirteen Princes to the city, and the Thirteen Princes kept walking very slowly, taking a closer look at every step, as if they were looking for something, but they never stopped for a moment, and walked forward step by step.
At last he came to a stop in front of a huge mansion, and stood in front of the door for a long time without moving forward.
Xue Yutang hadn't said a word all the way, but now standing in front of this door, he couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't the Thirteen Princes go in?"
The Thirteenth Prince stared at the words "Accompany the Capital Mansion" above his head for a long time, pointed to the words on them and asked Xue Yutang: "Brother Xue, what do you think those words look like?"
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment, although the words "accompany the capital" have faded from color, they can still be seen clearly, how could these thirteen princes ask this?
"Isn't this the Companion Mansion?"
The Thirteenth Prince suddenly smiled bitterly: "You look like you are accompanying the capital, but I think he is a 'prison' It imprisons everyone's ambitions, some people are imprisoned here and lose all their ambitions, and live a chaotic life, and some people can't bear to do crazy things, accompany the capital...... Accompany the capital...... But it's not all after all!"
After the thirteenth prince finished speaking, he stepped up the steps, put his hand on the door and pushed hard, the door slowly opened, and there was a group of people kneeling with the capital, they trembled, they had long heard that the second prince was defeated, as the former servants of the second prince, what was the fate waiting for them, no one knows, the good winner may buy them as slaves, at least their lives are saved, and they will be killed directly when they are ruthless, so as to prevent future troubles, after all, no one knows if there is a diehard loyalty of the previous master in this group of people!
The Thirteenth Prince frowned, he was not the master here, and he had no intention of disposing of the servants here, so he just said lightly: "What should you do when you get up!"
You look at me, I see that no one dares to move, and even in their minds they would rather pray for mercy from heaven, and hope for a good successor by luck, and never have the idea of escaping.
After the thirteen princes finished speaking, they ignored it and continued to walk inside with Xue Yutang.
A group of domestic servants saw that the Thirteen Princes really didn't plan to deal with them, so under the leadership of a few bold domestic servants, they got up from the ground and returned to their original positions one after another to start doing things.
Among the halls where the thirteen princes brought Xue Yutang here, this hall was very ordinary, and it was not at all obvious that this was the place where the previous princes lived, and in terms of single-round status, it was second only to the imperial city.
Xue Yutang took a look around, some of the porcelain placed around him was considered valuables, and the furnishings in the entire hall were very old, logically speaking, even if the emperor really regarded the prince here as a puppet, at least it should not be disadvantaged in terms of money, so many princes in the past always want to repair it.
"Think it's strange?" the Thirteenth Prince could see Xue Yutang's doubts.
Xue Yutang nodded: "It's a little shabby here!"
The thirteenth prince smiled: "When people are full of despair, they always have to find a livelihood for themselves, so every prince here has some special hobbies, and each hobby seems to be a price comparison and burns money, but he doesn't care so much about the conditions of living here!"
Xue Yutang thought for a moment and nodded with a smile: "If it were me, I would do the same!"
The Thirteenth Prince Yaoyao: "Anyone else would do this!"
Xue Yutang found a place to sit down, but the Thirteen Princes stayed in front of a painting for a long time, Xue Yutang didn't see anything from this painting, and felt that it was just an ordinary painting that couldn't be more ordinary, a pastoral landscape painting, in the painting, a thatched hut, smoking from cooking, and an old black dog sticking out his tongue in front of the door.
"Do you know what this companion is?"
The words of the thirteenth prince made Xue Yutang feel a little inexplicable, I don't know why he asked this question, Xue Yutang himself is not interested in this palace fight, he prefers to be honest, like they have to think for a long time when they say something, it is really uncomfortable.
"I don't know!" Xue Yutang said very indifferently.
The Thirteenth Prince glanced back, smiled, and turned his head to continue looking at the painting: "The capital is the barrier of the pre-Qin Empire, and only by ensuring the safety of the capital can the safety of the pre-Qin Empire be guaranteed!"
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment: "Then why is this governor of the capital an ornament?"
The Thirteenth Prince suddenly laughed: "The position of the capital is too important, as long as anyone controls the capital, it is equivalent to choking the throat of the pre-Qin Empire, how can this governor have real power?"
This time, Xue Yutang didn't understand even more, and looked at the thirteen princes in a daze.
The Thirteen Princes did not look back, and continued: "It is precisely because of this that it has always been a way to cover the eyes, and its key point is not here, so there must be a prince here, just like a thing trapped in the town house here, and it must be locked with iron chains!"
Xue Yutang thought for a while, and suddenly understood why this place is so important, it is simply a trap dug for the world, everyone knows his importance, so if you want to fight against the pre-Qin Empire, you must take the accompanying capital, and the governor here is a prince, and outsiders are never allowed to touch it, which makes people even more sure of the importance of this place, and its strategic location is indeed the throat of the pre-Qin Empire, which makes you have to jump into this trap, and the person who can arrange this place is definitely an ore master.
It's like playing chess, every move he makes seems ordinary, but it's a step by step, and until the last move, you can never see what his layout is!
"Why do you tell me such an important thing, and you're not afraid that I will pass it on to you?"
The Thirteen Princes seemed to have finished reading this painting, turned around and walked back to their seats, sat down and looked at Xue Yutang and said: "Brother Xue, this world is changing all the time, and you are also in this change, I Yingheng can't say that I can see everything clearly, but I can at least look at it for seven or eight points, whether you want to or not, you will be the enemy of the Pre-Qin Empire in the future, maybe you don't have that ability now, but sooner or later you will have it!"
Xue Yutang was taken aback by the words of the Thirteen Princes, looked at the Thirteen Princes and said, "In that case, why are you still talking to me about this?"
The Thirteenth Prince smiled: "Didn't I say that the world is changing every moment? Maybe we have to join forces to do something before we become enemies, aren't we friends?
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "At least we have a common enemy, don't we?"
