He went out to relax, but who would have thought that he would hear bad news from his hometown.

Chang Xi returned to the Eighth Princess's Mansion in the pouring rain, and the second senior brother, who saw the treacherous appearance of the little junior brother, hurriedly greeted him with an umbrella, and after knowing that the Kunlun Sect Master Ran Buyi had fallen on the battlefield of Jiayuguan, he stood in the rain in a daze, motionless for a long time.

He clenched his fists, his fingertips digging into his flesh without realizing it, blood and rain dripping.

The battle for the succession began with the return of the three princes to the imperial city.

The battle for succession, which is definitely not a noble competition, stems from the drastic innovation of the Ying royal family in recent centuries.

The Ying royal family has had several extremely short situations in history when it was almost destroyed, and the reason was that the crown prince who inherited the throne was too mediocre and incompetent. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, the royal family in later generations adopted an ingenious battle for succession, which can not only test the strength of several competitors themselves, but also see whether the means and scheming of the princes and princesses are passing, which is also a great test for their respective connections.

The so-called enlightened people have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and the prince or princess who has more connections can often determine the direction of the battle for succession and even who will end up in the end.

The battle for the succession can test the ability of the young members of the royal family to the greatest extent, but its disadvantages have also been secretly criticized by many people. It is in the battle for the succession that the princes and princesses have done their best for the throne, and they can be said to do everything. As a result, the final winner will not consider leaving other living mouths at all, and will directly wipe them all out on the spot, so as not to exhaust the weeds of hatred in the future, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate.

Hundreds of years ago, Ying Zheng relied on his iron hand to crush a group of brothers and sisters, and after ascending the throne, he gave all the defeated brothers and sisters to death, and he was the only one.

The next day, a chamberlain in the palace came to the Eighth Princess's Mansion and delivered a jade talisman.

The squire officer personally handed over the jade talisman to Ying Zhaojun, squinted his eyes and said, "Eighth princess, you must put away this jade talisman close to you." ”

For the vast majority of the members of the Win royal family, they will participate in a battle for the succession once in their lives, and if they succeed, they will ascend to the throne in the near future, and if they fail, they will become a pile of dry bones under the feet of the enthroner, and no one will have access to these things.

Because the only surviving member of the Ying royal family hundreds of years ago was Yingzheng.

Ying Zhaojun's impression of the rules of the battle is that she learned a little bit from the seventh sister Ying Zhiyu a few years ago, and she is also blinded by more insiders.

The squire with a white beard on his chin was obviously prepared, and sighed in his heart, and estimated that only this eighth princess was still in the dark, and then pointed to the jade talisman in Ying Zhaojun's hand and explained: "This jade talisman was given by His Majesty, representing the qualifications and identity of the eighth princess to participate in the battle for succession. The reason why you need to keep it properly is because in the battle for succession, if your jade talisman is robbed or destroyed, you will immediately lose your qualification to take the throne and be demoted. ”

Not only to win Zhaojun, Chang Xi and the second senior brother Yunmo both had their hearts beating in an instant, daring to love In the battle for succession, this jade talisman is the key thing, which can be described as increasing the difficulty.

Chang Xi immediately thought of something bad, and interjected and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Squire, if there is a side in the battle to seize the heir, there is an iQue Realm in charge..."

The squire officer, who is rarely addressed with respect, smiled to dispel Chang Xi's doubts.

"This prince doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty has made a rule that the power of the Demon Realm can support a member of the royal family, but it is forbidden to fight, and it is also forbidden to hold a jade talisman, this jade talisman must be worn by a member of the royal family, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation. ”

Chang Xi and the second senior brother glanced at each other and exhaled lightly.

Fortunately, the powerhouses of the Fugue Realm would not be able to fight and could not hold the jade talisman, otherwise those frenzied princes would have put the jade talismans on the body of the powerhouses of the Fugue Realm, wouldn't they have no chance of winning the battle for the heir at all?

The third prince won Wei to take charge of the vanguard army, even if he was defeated in Jiayuguan now, but it was still not difficult to pick out some of the strongest people in the Realm of Refining Void from the army to be included in his command. Especially the second prince is as good at calculation, since he can single-handedly pull such a huge organization as the Dragon, I am afraid that he has already secretly gathered many cronies and henchmen. And now that the mountains are back in the rivers and lakes, and there are many talents, Chang Xi doesn't think that the second prince with his hands and eyes will miss this great opportunity.

This old waiter, who rarely leaves the palace, is very talkative, and patiently answers the questions raised by Ying Zhaojun, until Ying Zhaojun finally has a clear understanding of the battle for succession, and then Shi Shiran left the Eighth Princess's Mansion with his sleeves.

Ying Zhaojun sat on the railing of the verandah with the support of Qingzhu, quietly looking at the blue sky on the courtyard of the courtyard. She had an unreal feeling in her heart, and she was told by the squire that three days later, she would start a battle for Weishuiyuan, west of the imperial city.

Are you finally going to fight with a few related brothers?

But thinking of the seventh sister Ying Zhiyu, Ying Zhaojun's sloppy eyes quickly condensed again.

For the sake of a better tomorrow in the Demon Domain, for her sister's unfulfilled dream, she can't easily fall here, she can only do her best for the unattainable throne.

Chang Xi sat on the ground with his back against the railing, and said softly: "When I went to Batuo Mansion yesterday, I met the second prince who went to mourn. ”

Ying Zhaojun was stunned and said, "Did he shoot at you?"

Chang Xi shook his head and said, "He gives people a very cold feeling, and he is too restrained compared to the arrogance and recklessness of the third prince Ying Wei. But it was precisely because he took the initiative to talk to me yesterday that I was sure that he was the mastermind behind the monster. ”

Chang Xi snorted and said, "If he is ill and can't practice, how can he be aware of the changes in the external situation?"

Second Senior Brother Yunmo nodded and said, "Generally, this kind of calculating guy, once the situation is out of his control several times, he will become restless and restless, so that he can't help but do something that exposes his position. It is conceivable that this lord of the dragon has been smooth sailing for many years, but when it came to the most critical battle, the situation took a turn several times, making him lose his previous character. ”

Yunmo hugged his arms and shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, he is a peer, after all, he is not one of those old monsters whose hearts can be dormant for a hundred years, he can't hold his breath." ”

Yunmo, who realized it later, noticed the breath of the little junior brother, and I don't know when it was the magnificent atmosphere in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, and he only knew the reason after several inquiries, he looked up at the sky and said seriously: "Maybe it's Uncle Ran's spirit in the sky, seeing that you are running around in the hope of the human race in the Demon Domain, and the opportunity to come down with you in the dark." ”

The corners of Chang Xi's mouth were raised, and he gently closed his eyes.
