Thorian Rhys’s words were sonorous and powerful, full of emotion.
If there is chaos in West Lucozia, the eight princes, high officials and dignitaries from all sides, including tens of millions of people, will not be spared.
Everyone’s roots are rooted in West Lucozia, and anyone who has a certain sense of family and country will not sit idly by.
“Young prince, this is the truth. However, I am timid and fearful. I always look forward and backward. What should I do if my troops are destroyed in the chaos?” Zhou Bo looked hesitant.
“Uncle Zhou, I can guarantee that if you have any losses afterwards, the palace will compensate you double!” Thorian Rhys said seriously.
He naturally understood that when Zhou Bo said these words, he wanted to take the opportunity to gain substantial benefits.
After all, this is an act of risking all your wealth, and if it fails, you will suffer heavy losses.
There is nothing wrong with the other party doing this.
“Little prince, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but for things like this, you can’t just say it.” Zhou Bo’s eyes were somewhat meaningful.
“Uncle Zhou, if you want anything, just ask. As long as this younger generation can do it, I will never refuse!” Thorian Rhys said loudly.
These words have shown enough sincerity.
“Okay! With the words of the young prince, I feel relieved!”
Zhou Bo smiled slightly: “Actually, I don’t want any soldiers, nor any money or treasures. What I’m most worried about now is my daughter. She is twenty-five this year and has not found a good family so far. If she can marry Giving you, the young prince, is the blessing she has earned in her life.”
“marry me?”
Thorian Rhys raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.
“That’s right.”
Zhou Bo smiled and nodded: “Although my daughter Zhou Tong cannot be said to be the most beautiful woman in the country, she is still as beautiful as a flower, and she is smart and smart. If you, the young prince, marry her, I believe you will have a very good wife.”
He now wants money and people, and the only thing he lacks is supreme power.
Now that the King of West Lucozia is dead, Thorian Rhys is most likely to succeed.
If his daughter can marry Thorian Rhys, she will become the princess of West Lucozia in the future, and her status will also rise with the tide.
By then, he will be the head of the eight princes!
“Uncle Zhou, my reputation is not very good. If I let your wife marry me, I’m afraid I will wrong her.” Thorian Rhys said tactfully.
“The young prince is a dragon and a phoenix among men, with both civil and military talents. My daughter has admired him for a long time. It is her honor to marry you.”
Zhou Bo said with a serious face: “Once you and I get married, we will live and die together from now on. No matter what trouble the palace encounters, I, Zhou Bo, will do my best to help, even if I throw my life and blood, even if I spend all my wealth, I will help you.” Don’t hesitate!”
“This…” Thorian Rhys frowned slightly, not knowing how to respond.
Zhou Bo’s conditions had exceeded his expectations.
“Young Master, since the Marquis refuses to support us, let’s find another way.” Dustin lowered his voice and spoke.
Although Zhou Bo’s support is important, he does not want to sacrifice his brother’s happiness.
“Little prince, you can think about it carefully first, I won’t force you.” Zhou Bo spread his hands.
“Don’t think about it, I promise!”
After thinking for a few seconds, Thorian Rhys finally nodded.
“Are you serious?” Zhou Bo’s eyes lit up.
“Although I, Thorian Rhys, am not a gentleman, I always keep my word.” Thorian Rhys said seriously.
“Okay, okay! The young prince really understands justice, I admire him!”
“It’s better to choose the right date than to hit it. For better cooperation, I think it’s better to make an engagement now.”
Chapter 1802
“Come here! Get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!”
Zhou Bo was so impatient that he ordered his subordinates to bring them pens and paper to prepare for the engagement.
An opportunity like this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Once his daughter marries into the palace, she will be the future princess, and his grandson will most likely become the next generation of West Lucozia King!
No matter how you calculate it, you will make a lot of money from this huge gamble.
“Wait! Young Master, this is a major event in life, so be careful!” Dustin immediately reminded him.
“Huh?” Zhou Bo frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.
A little guard dares to point fingers here, there is really no distinction between superiority and inferiority!
If they were his subordinates, they would have been served with sticks and sticks.
“No need to persuade me, I’ve already decided.”
Thorian Rhys looked back at Dustin and smiled: “Uncle Zhou’s daughter is as beautiful as a flower, virtuous and virtuous. I am lucky to marry her. How could I refuse this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing?” ?”
“The young prince is indeed very discerning!” Zhou Bo took advantage of the situation and praised him.
“Little Lord……”
Dustin was just about to speak, but Zhou Bo shouted: “Bold! When the master does things, how can you, a slave, talk too much? There are really no rules at all!”
Dustin narrowed his eyes and was about to have an attack, but Thorian Rhys raised his hand to stop him: “Okay, no need to say more, I have made up my mind.”
After saying that, without any hesitation, he directly wrote his name on the marriage certificate and pressed his fingerprints at the same time.
Dustin sighed, feeling a little distressed.
His younger brother has really grown up. No matter what he does, he always considers the overall situation.
Even he is ashamed of this.
“Uncle Zhou, the engagement has been made. I hope you can fulfill your promise.” Thorian Rhys said with cupped hands.
“Don’t worry, young prince, we will be a family from now on. No matter when the palace is in trouble, I will help you!” Zhou Bo promised, patting his chest.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhou. I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave now.” Thorian Rhys nodded slightly.
“Little prince, please!” Zhou Bo smiled and personally saw Thorian Rhys out.
Leave the Hou Mansion and get in the car.
Dustin took off his human skin mask and couldn’t help but sigh: “Thorian, actually you don’t need to wrong yourself, we can find another way.”
“Brother, you and your father have protected me all your life. It’s time for me to take charge of myself.”
Thorian Rhys smiled nonchalantly: “Besides, I’m not even happy enough to be able to marry a beautiful woman as my wife, so how can I feel wronged?”
Throughout the ages, princes, generals and ministers have basically been married through family marriages.
On the one hand, we can strengthen our power and seek benefits; on the other hand, we can support each other and help each other in the same boat.
Although he is the son of the King of West Lucozia, Zhou Bo’s daughter is also of high status.
The two families were well matched, and there was nothing to feel wronged about.
“Okay, brother, don’t think too much. The top priority is to solve the rebellion. As for the future, we will talk about it later.” Thorian Rhys comforted him with a smile.
Dustin nodded and took the initiative to change the subject: “Next, are you going to Nanwang City to meet Marquis Wu Ling?”
“That’s right!”
Thorian Rhys responded and said: “Wulinghou is the most powerful among the four southern princes, but he is also the most difficult person to deal with. Whether our plan can succeed this time depends entirely on WulinghouNangong’s failure.” Got it!”
Chapter 1803
The next morning, we headed south to Wangcheng.
Dustin and Thorian Rhys stayed up all night and arrived at their destination, Nanwang City, in the shortest possible time.
Nanwang City is the territory guarded by Wuling Hou Nangong. It is also the city with the most troops and the strongest economic strength among the four major princes in the south.
However, Nangong Po had a surly personality and was moody. If he behaved violently, he would sometimes not even give Rufus Rhys face.
Therefore, Thorian Rhys was not sure whether he could convince Nangong Po.
“Brother, the Marquis of Wuling has arrived.”
When the vehicle stopped, Thorian Rhys and Dustin stepped out one after another.
“It’s already the second day. The news of your departure from the Hou Mansion shouldn’t be kept secret for long. We must speed up.” Dustin warned.
“I see.”
Thorian Rhys nodded: “Although Nangong Po is not easy to get along with, he is not a treacherous villain. As long as we offer a high enough price and Xiaozhi uses emotion and reason, we should be able to convince him.”
“That’s good.” Dustin nodded: “Go in.”
Thorian Rhys straightened his clothes and rubbed his face to make himself look more energetic. Then he stepped forward and revealed his identity to the guards of the Hou Mansion.
Just like before, several people entered the palace smoothly.
However, the meeting place this time was not the main hall of the Hou Mansion, but the private martial arts arena in Nangong Po.
As we all know, Nangong Po is a martial arts fanatic.
He personally leads the troops in training on weekdays, so all the soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting.
“Little prince, the marquis is training inside, please come in.”
After the guards brought several people to the entrance of the martial arts arena, they turned and left.
Several people walked in and took a look, and saw a burly, muscular middle-aged man in the center of the martial arts field, practicing with dozens of elite guards.
The middle-aged strong man is holding a spear, majestic and powerful. When waving his hands, the spear is like a dragon or a snake. He is not only extremely dexterous, but also very domineering.
The dozens of elite guards around them holding swords and shields were beaten back and forth, unable to withstand the attack at all.
You must know that these are the elites of the royal palace, the kind that can match a hundred with one, and they are well-trained and cooperate with each other tacitly.
Now he is easily suppressed by the middle-aged man, which shows his strength.
The middle-aged man is none other than Wu Linghou, Nangong Po!
“What a great shot!”
Thorian Rhys took a closer look and couldn’t help but look surprised.
Nangong Po’s marksmanship does not have any unnecessary movements. It seems to be straight forward, but in fact it is unpredictable.
He is both powerful and domineering on the battlefield and has profound skills in the arena.
Almost close to perfect.
“It’s really good.”
Dustin nodded secretly and couldn’t help but take a high look.
Nangong Po’s strength has reached the level of Grandmaster at the Great Perfection. Looking at the entire West Lucozia, he should be ranked in the top ten.
It can be seen that even after being granted the title of Marquis, Nangong Po did not relax at all and always adhered to his martial arts.
Such people are often mentally tough and possess extraordinary perseverance.
“Total Annihilation!”
After waiting for a while, Nangong Po suddenly roared, grabbed the tail of the gun with one hand, and swept away in all directions with himself as the center point.
Wherever the spear passed, the elite guards were knocked to the ground.
Chapter 1804
After sweeping around the entire martial arts arena, only Nangong Po was left standing.
“You are really getting worse and worse. You have to practice harder in the future, do you hear me?” Nangong Po scolded.
“Yes!” The guards knelt down and responded.
“Okay, let’s all get down.”
Nangong Po waved his hand to signal all the guards to leave, then turned around and looked at Thorian Rhys and the others.
“Uncle Nangong’s marksmanship is like a god. Looking at the entire West Lucozia, no one can beat him. I admire him so much!” Thorian Rhys was the first to say hello.
“Young prince, as the saying goes, you don’t go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. You came all the way here. What advice do you have?” Nangong Po picked up a towel and began to wipe his sweat.
“I don’t take advice seriously, mainly because the younger generation has something to ask for.” Thorian Rhys clasped his fists.
“Is it because of your father’s incident?” Nangong Po was not surprised, as if he had expected it.
“Uncle Nangong already knows?” Thorian Rhys raised his eyebrows.
“The King of West Lucozia was assassinated. How could I not know about such a big event?” Nangong Po took a sip of tea and sat down minding his own business.
“As for the rebellion of the four northern princes, does Uncle Nangong know about it?” Thorian Rhys asked again.
“I heard something.” Nangong Po nodded.
“Uncle Nangong, you are loyal and courageous. Now that there is a crisis in the palace, please help me!” Thorian Rhys cupped his fists and bent down.
“If your father comes to visit, I will naturally help you, because I admire his character very much. As for you… you are not qualified!”
Nangong Po picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
What he said was even more merciless.
Thorian Rhys frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
He had known that Nangong Po was arrogant and moody, so he was already prepared to be made things difficult for him before entering the door.
“Uncle Nangong, compared to father, I am indeed a waste, and I am not qualified to ask you to do anything.”
Speaking of this, Thorian Rhys suddenly changed the topic: “But my Rhys, I am a descendant of the Rhys Family, and I am a man from West Lucozia. I can’t just watch the turmoil in West Lucozia and watch the people being displaced. As long as this turmoil can be calmed down, , I’m willing to pay any price!”
“oh?”
Nangong Po raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised.
He didn’t expect that the playboy who once had nothing to do would actually say such a thing.
It’s a bit strange.
“Did your mother teach you to say these words?” Nangong Po asked tentatively.
“These are all words from the bottom of my heart!” Thorian Rhys looked serious.
“I haven’t seen you for a few years, but you look a little different.”
Nangong Po looked him up and down, and then said: “To be honest, before you came to the door, General Dustin Kate had already sent me a letter. Guess what he said to me in the letter?”
“Dustin Kate?”
Thorian Rhys’s pupils shrank and his expression became solemn: “younger generation doesn’t know, please let Uncle Nangong make it clear.”
Nangong Po picked up the spear next to him, gently wiped the tip of the spear with a white cloth, and said in a low voice: “Dustin Kate said, if I can kill you and destroy your body, he will give me two cities after the incident.” .”
“Um?”
As soon as these words came out, Thorian Rhys’s expression changed instantly.
He didn’t expect that Dustin Kate was already prepared to kill and silence him.
“Two cities!”
Nangong stood up slowly, pointed his spear directly at Thorian Rhys, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: “For me, this is really a huge temptation. Do you think…should I agree?”
Chapter 1805
Seeing Nangong Po’s sharp eyes and the spear he raised, Thorian Rhys was not afraid at all and still held his head high.
“Uncle Nangong, the temptation of the two cities is indeed great. If it were me, I shouldn’t refuse.”
“If Uncle Nangong wants to use my head in exchange for two cities, I am willing to do it.”
Thorian Rhys clasped his fists and looked calm.
“What? Are you not afraid of death?”
Nangong Po narrowed his eyes: “Or do you think that I dare not kill you?”
“Of course I’m afraid of death. If I could live, I wouldn’t choose to die.”
Thorian Rhys said calmly: “Besides, Uncle Nangong has been fighting for many years, killing gods and killing gods and killing Buddhas. If he wanted to take my life, it would be just a thought and no effort at all.”
“Since you are afraid of death, why are you still so calm?” Nangong Po was a little confused.
“It’s one thing to be afraid of death, but it’s another thing to have the courage to die. From the moment I walked in, I was prepared for the worst.”
Thorian Rhys said seriously: “Besides, if Uncle Nangong really wants to kill me, I won’t be able to escape at all. It’s better to just do it, so as to save myself from the physical pain.”
“interesting.”
Nangong Po suddenly laughed and slowly put down the gun in his hand: “They say a tiger father has no dog son. I finally saw it today. As expected, none of you Rhys Family members are cowards.”
“Thank you Uncle Nangong for the compliment.” Thorian Rhys nodded slightly.
“Okay, I won’t joke with you anymore. Dustin Kate’s people did come to see me, but they were killed by me.”
Nangong Po snapped his fingers, and soon, several guards dragged a body and threw it at Thorian Rhys’s feet.
“Here, this is the person sent by Dustin Kate.” Nangong Po kicked the body with a look of disdain.
“Uncle Nangong, are you not going to take Dustin Kate’s two cities? I can’t offer such high conditions.” Thorian Rhys said domineeringly.
“Hmph! Although I, Nangong Po, am not a good person, I will never do anything treacherous. Your father is kind to me. If I kill you, wouldn’t I be worse than a pig or a dog?” Nangong Po said calmly.
“Uncle Nangong understands righteousness, and I admire him!” Thorian Rhys saluted with clasped fists.
The reason why he is so confident is that on the one hand, his elder brother is here, and on the other hand, he understands Nangong Po.
The opponent is decisive in killing. If he really has murderous intentions, he will never talk nonsense. As soon as he enters the door, he will be waited on by swordsmen and axes.
“Okay, don’t put your hat on me. Although I won’t kill you, it doesn’t mean I will help you.”
Nangong Po said calmly: “I admire your father, but you haven’t gained my approval yet.”
“Uncle Nangong, just ask if you have any conditions. If this younger generation can do it, I will never refuse!” Thorian Rhys said with sincerity.
“Okay! Then let’s not talk about friendship, just business!”
Nangong Po said meaningfully: “Let me follow you to suppress the rebellion and fight against the Hussars General Dustin Kate. I believe you should be very clear about the dangers involved. If you are not careful, my troops and horses will suffer heavy losses. How do you plan to make up for it?” “
“On behalf of the palace, I can give you a city!” Thorian Rhys said domineeringly.
The eight major princes of West Lucozia all have their own territory. They usually restrain each other and no one will submit to the other.
Sending Nangong to destroy a city is equivalent to destroying the balance, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble afterwards.
But at this time, I can no longer care much.
“One city is not enough.” Nangong Po shook his head.
“Uncle Nangong, if you need anything else, just ask.” Thorian Rhys asked.
“I want eight hundred black dragon troops, the most elite ones!” Nangong Po said loudly.
“The elite of the eight hundred Black Dragon Army?” Thorian Rhys frowned slightly.
The Black Dragon Army of West Lucozia is a soldier of hundreds of battles, the best of the best.
And when it comes to selecting elites from the Black Dragon Army, each of them can be called the King of Soldiers.
Eight hundred soldiers, this appetite is really a bit big.
After all, every soldier king is cultivated through years of training and using various rare resources.
The human, material and financial resources it consumes are simply immeasurable.
“What? Don’t want to?”
Old God Nangong Po said calmly: “You have to know that if it is Dustin Kate, let alone 800 elites, even if I ask for 3,000 elites, he will never refuse!”
“Dustin Kate has many soldiers and generals, but I have no foundation, so naturally I can’t compare.” Thorian Rhys sighed lightly.
“So, I only ask you for eight hundred elites. This condition is already considered as giving face to your father.”
Nangong Po yawned: “Of course, if you can’t make a decision, you can go back and discuss it with your mother, but I don’t know if it’s too late for you?”
After Thorian Rhys hesitated for a while, he finally nodded: “Okay! I agree! As long as Uncle Nangong helps our palace suppress the rebellion, I am willing to offer 800 elite Black Dragon Army troops!”
“happy!”
Hearing this, Nangong Po couldn’t help laughing: “Boy! A man should be courageous. What are eight hundred elites? When you inherit the throne, the entire West Lucozia will be yours!”
“Uncle Nangong, are we settled then?” Thorian Rhys narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Of course!” Nangong Po said proudly: “I have no other advantages, but I always keep my word. From now on, my troops are at your disposal!”
“Uncle Nangong is righteous!” Thorian Rhys breathed a sigh of relief.
“Besides, since you are so cheerful, I will give you another gift.”
Nangong Po asked for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Thorian Rhys. He smiled and said: “If I am not mistaken, you have to go to another place next, and that is the territory of Marquis Huaiyin. I will You have a good personal relationship with Wen Wen, and with this letter as a stepping stone for you, your chances of persuading him will be greatly increased.”
“Thank you, Uncle Nangong!” Thorian Rhys saluted with clasped fists, a look of gratitude on his face.
“Okay, time is tight, let’s do it quickly.” Nangong Po waved his hand.
“younger generation, take your leave!”
Thorian Rhys saluted again and led the others away.
Wu LinghouNangong Po has been taken care of, and now only the last person is left.
Marquis of Huaiyin, docile!
Wen Wen was different from a powerful general like Nangong Po, but he was an out-and-out civil servant.
From a ninth-grade sesame official, he was promoted step by step to a prince.
His ability and high IQ are unparalleled in West Lucozia, and no one can surpass him!
If you can get the support of meekness, it is equivalent to having an extra brain trust.
Chapter 1806
Dusk.
Thorian Rhys, Dustin and others arrived at the frontier fortress, Taiping City.
Taiping City is the docile territory of Huaiyin Marquis. More than ten years ago, it was a small town in a state of poverty.
Under gentle governance, in just a dozen years, it became one of the top five cities in West Lucozia.
Whether it is military, economic, political, or cultural, including education and medical care, they are among the best.
It can be said that Taiping City can achieve its current glory only because of its gentleness, versatility, knowledge, and outstanding abilities.
If Nangong Po is a hero in troubled times, then Wen Ming is an able minister in times of trouble.
At this moment, outside the Huaiyin Hou Mansion.
A black business car slowly stopped on the side of the road.
The car door opened, and Dustin, Thorian Rhys and others stepped out one after another.
“Brother, this is the last stop.”
Thorian Rhys looked at the signboard of the Marquis Mansion and sighed: “Huaiyin Marquis Wen Shun has a close relationship with his father, and he is enthusiastic and righteous. Coupled with Nangong Po’s letter, this trip should be no problem.”
“Hard to say.”
Dustin shook his head slightly: “The closer we get to the last moment, the less we can relax. Wen Shun is so deep in the city that even Rufus Rhys can’t see through him. No one knows what he is thinking.”
“Are you worried that something unexpected happened?” Thorian Rhys asked tentatively.
“Dustin Kate has contacted Nangong Po before, so he must have also been in contact with Wen Shun. I am worried that if Wen Shun is persuaded by Dustin Kate and joins his camp, our visit this time will be no less than throwing ourselves into a trap.” Dustin analyzed road.
Dustin Kate is not stupid. To be able to achieve the position of General of the Hussars can be said to be both wise and brave.
Whatever they can think of, the other party can definitely think of.
Dustin Kate would never sit idly by while they were trying to win over people.
You can tell from the price of recruiting Nangong Po and offering two cities.
Among the four major princes in the south, Cornelius Ao was so loyal and brave that he even handed over his military talisman, so he must be standing in their ranks.
On the other hand, Zhou Bo has signed a marriage contract with the palace, and the interests of both parties are bound to each other, so there should be no problem.
As for Nangong Po, he not only rejected Dustin Kate’s conditions, but also killed his envoy. It was impossible for the two parties to cooperate again.
Now only Wen Wen is left, full of variables.
If Wen Shun is willing to join the Wangfu camp, then they will have the strength to confront Dustin Kate.
On the other hand, if Wen Wen joins Dustin Kate’s camp, they will be in big trouble.
“Brother, your worries are reasonable, but now, we have no choice. We have to try. I hope Wen Shun can be on our side.” Thorian Rhys took a deep breath.
“Well, with me here, I can at least keep you safe.” Dustin nodded.
He was prepared for the worst.
If Wen Wen is really bribed by Dustin Kate, he will set up an ambush here.
Then he would directly destroy the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and then support new people to take over.
Of course, he did not want to use force to solve the problem unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Come on, let’s go meet the Marquis of Huaiyin together.”
Thorian Rhys’s confidence soared and he took the lead to step forward and walk towards the door.
“Meet the young prince!”
As soon as Thorian Rhys approached, an old housekeeper standing at the door immediately bowed and saluted.
“Um?”
Thorian Rhys was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
He hadn’t announced his identity yet, nor had he taken out his palace token. How could the other party recognize him at a glance?
“you know me?”
Thorian Rhys was a little strange.
He thought for a while, and it seemed that he had never been to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.
Chapter 1807
“The Marquis knew you were coming, so he asked me to wait in advance.” The old housekeeper nodded and admitted.
“You know I’m coming?”
Thorian Rhys raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Dustin next to him, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Wen Wen guessed in advance that there were only two possibilities.
Either Nangong Po called to tell him; or it was Dustin Kate’s envoy who had already arrived first.
“My young prince, I have been waiting for you. Please come inside.” The old housekeeper bent down and extended his hand to guide him.
Thorian Rhys nodded and walked straight in without saying anything.
It’s here now, it’s impossible to retreat halfway.
Even if it is a dragon’s pond and a tiger’s den, he has to break through.
Several people followed the old butler and passed various facilities before finally arriving at the dining room.
At this moment, a sumptuous table of wine and food has been prepared in the dining hall.
The aroma of vegetables mixed with the aroma of wine whets your appetite.
Thorian Rhys and the others had been running around all day and all night, and they didn’t even have time to eat. Now that they saw this sumptuous and delicious meal, they couldn’t help but move their index fingers, and their stomachs began to growl.
“My young prince, you must be hungry after traveling all the way. Please eat first.” The old housekeeper said respectfully.
“Where is your Marquis?” Thorian Rhys asked.
“The Marquis will be here in a moment, please wait a moment.” The old housekeeper lowered his head and replied.
“In that case, I won’t be polite.”
Thorian Rhys smiled and waved: “Come on, come on, you guys, sit down and eat.”
“yes!”
Several guards responded, directly picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and began to taste them one by one.
As well-trained personal guards, they could go without food or drink for three days and three nights without any problem. The main reason why they behaved like this was to test poison for Thorian Rhys.
It is essential to be on guard against others, as if Wen Wen had drugged the food or wine, they would be able to detect it immediately.
“Young Master, no problem.”
After trying every dish, several guards nodded to Thorian Rhys.
Thorian Rhys smiled slightly and began to eat generously without being polite.
I haven’t eaten anything all day and night, and I’m really hungry.
So much delicious food would be wasted if not eaten.
After a stick of incense was burned, several people swept away the dishes on the table and drank several pots of wine. It can be said that they were full.
“Little prince, are you ready? Do you want to add more food?”
At this time, a middle-aged man in rich clothes walked in the door with a smile.
The middle-aged man wears glasses, has an elegant temperament, and a kind face. He looks like a teacher.
The person who came was none other than the famous Marquis of Huaiyin, Meek!
“Uncle Wen, thank you for your warm hospitality. I can’t hold it in my belly anymore.” Thorian Rhys touched his swollen belly and opened it in a cooperative manner.
“I live in a remote country and don’t have any good wine or food to satisfy the young prince, so it’s not in vain for me to prepare.” Wen Shun smiled.
“Uncle Wen is welcome.”
Thorian Rhys smiled slightly and followed, “Uncle Wen had known that I was coming. He must have known what happened in the palace, right?”
“Yes, I already understand the general situation.”
Wen Wen nodded and said very simply: “To be honest, before you came, that is, this morning, the envoy of General Hussar had already paid a visit.”
“oh?”
Thorian Rhys’s pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became serious: “Uncle Wen, how did you respond?”
Meek support is vital to him.
If the other party joins Dustin Kate’s camp, the consequences will be disastrous!
Chapter 1808
Wen Shun did not rush to answer Thorian Rhys’s words, but sat down and poured himself and Thorian Rhys a glass of wine respectively.
After clinking the glasses gently, he drank the wine in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
Wen Shun clicked his tongue and showed a satisfied smile.
Thorian Rhys was not in a hurry, he also drank all the wine in his glass, and then just looked at Wen Wen, waiting for the next step.
“Dustin Kate invited me to join his camp and promised huge benefits, but I rejected them all.”
Hearing this, Thorian Rhys couldn’t help but look happy, but Wen Wen’s next words made him slightly stunned.
“My young prince, don’t be too happy. Although I rejected Dustin Kate’s invitation, I will not send troops to help you. I don’t like war, so I choose neutrality.” Wen Shun said straightforwardly.
“neutral?”
Thorian Rhys frowned slightly and hurriedly persuaded: “Uncle Wen, you are a member of West Lucozia. Can you bear to watch West Lucozia fall apart?”
“My young prince, my abilities are limited and I can’t help you much.”
Wen Shun shook his head and said: “I don’t have any ambitions. I just want to live and work in peace and contentment. I don’t want to participate in these power struggles. I am very satisfied if I can keep my three-thirds of an acre of land.”
After a pause, he meekly continued: “Young prince, to be honest, you and General Hussar are both of the Rhys Family’s blood, and can be considered orthodox, so it makes no difference to me which one of you will be the king of West Lucozia. , the so-called rebellion, in my eyes, is nothing more than a battle for the throne.”
“This…” Thorian Rhys was speechless for a moment.
Although I don’t want to admit it, what the other party said makes sense.
“My young prince, I have a relatively straightforward personality. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me.” Wen Shun nodded slightly, neither humble nor overbearing.
“Uncle Wen yearns for peace, of course, but if war breaks out, you may not be able to survive alone?” Thorian Rhys advised again.
“My Taiping City is a small border town. It is poor and has nothing. Even if there is a war, it cannot reach me.”
Wen Shun said calmly: “Besides, I have reached an agreement with Dustin Kate. As long as I do not participate in the fight between you, then he can guarantee that the war will never spread.”
“Uncle Wen, I can promise you that as long as you help the palace quell the rebellion, I can give you a city as a gift after that.” Thorian Rhys began to induce.
In the end, Wen Wen didn’t even think about it and just shook his head and refused: “Little prince, I have Taiping City, which is enough. If I have another city, I don’t have the energy to manage it, so I can only say I’m sorry.”
“Uncle Wen! You always have something you need, right? Just make conditions. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you!” Thorian Rhys was a little anxious.
The man in front of me looked completely out of touch.
Have no ambitions, no desires, stay contented, and be content.
Such people are really difficult to deal with.
“I don’t have any conditions. I just want to stay away from trouble and ask the young prince to help me.” He said meekly, neither humble nor arrogant.
“Uncle Wen, I heard from my father that you were his best friend. Now that my father has passed away and the palace is in crisis, do you really plan to ignore it?” Thorian Rhys started to play the emotional card.
Being meek is not a ruthless person. As long as you are sincere enough, you still have a chance.
“Young prince, although I have a good relationship with your father, with his personality, he will never force me to do anything I don’t want to do.”
Wen Ming said calmly: “In addition, to put it harshly, your father is a talented and powerful man who led West Lucozia, and no one would disapprove of him; but you are far behind. In fact, in my eyes, General Dustin Kate is better than General Dustin Kate.” You are more suitable to be the King of West Lucozia.”
“Uncle Wen is right, I am indeed not qualified to be the King of West Lucozia.”
Thorian Rhys nodded noncommittally: “In fact, I never thought about inheriting the throne. The reason why I want to suppress the rebellion is just for the stability of West Lucozia.”
Chapter 1809
“Since the young prince doesn’t want to inherit the throne, why should he fight for it?” Wen Shun’s expression remained unchanged.
“I am not qualified to be the King of West Lucozia, but there is someone who is, and this person is more suitable than Dustin Kate!” Thorian Rhys said sonorously and forcefully.
“Oh? Who is it?” Wen Shun raised his eyebrows slightly.
“My eldest brother——Logan Rhys!” Thorian Rhys said loudly.
“Logan Rhys?”
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes and nodded noncommittally: “You are right. If it is His Highness the Crown Prince, being the King of West Lucozia is more than enough. But the problem is that His Highness the Crown Prince has been missing for ten years and has not been heard from. Now he is alive and dead. How to succeed?”
“My eldest brother is not dead, and he has returned to West Lucozia. The position of king of West Lucozia belongs to him!” Thorian Rhys said with a serious face.
“Young prince, your words are unfounded. What evidence do you have?” Wen Shun asked.
If Logan Rhys really returned to West Lucozia, the news would have spread all over the city.
The boy in front of him was obviously just looking for an excuse to win over him better.
“Uncle Wen, you can provide evidence, but I have to ask, if my eldest brother succeeds to the throne, are you willing to give your full support?” Thorian Rhys asked rhetorically.
“This…” Wen Shun frowned slightly, looking a little hesitant.
Seeing Thorian Rhys so confident, he felt a little unsure.
“Uncle Wen, West Lucozia needs a good prince. No one is more suitable to be the king of West Lucozia than my eldest brother. I believe you should know this very well.” Thorian Rhys said domineeringly.
“Okay! If you can allow me to see His Highness the Crown Prince in person, I can promise to support you. Otherwise, please hire someone else!” Wen Shun said with a serious face.
“No problem! Then we’ll make it a deal!”
Hearing this, Thorian Rhys smiled, then turned around, looked at Dustin, and said, “Brother, it’s time for you to show up.”
Dustin nodded without saying anything, and took off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his original face.
“You are…” Wen Wen’s eyes widened for a moment, a little unbelievable.
“Uncle Wen, long time no see.” Dustin smiled slightly.
“His…His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?” Wen Shun was stunned and didn’t react for a while.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that the majestic Kirin son Logan Rhys would dress up as a bodyguard and hide beside Thorian Rhys.
If the other party hadn’t revealed his identity, no one would have been able to tell.
“Uncle Wen, how’s it going? Is it a surprise?”
Thorian Rhys smiled and said: “You are the second person besides me who knows my brother’s identity. We are now honest with you and have nothing to hide.”
“His Royal Highness, are you…really alive?” Wen Wen’s voice was trembling, his eyes were filled with tears, and he was a little excited.
He has no feelings for Thorian Rhys, so he has no plans to support him.
But he had a special feeling of intimacy towards Logan Rhys.
The reason is very simple, because Logan Rhys’s mother energyn Suzhen was kind to him and saved his life.
He had always wanted to repay Princess internal energyn’s kindness, but he never had the chance.
Especially after the death of Princess internal energyn, he became even more obsessed with her.
Now that he saw Logan Rhys standing in front of him, he seemed to see Princess internal energyn back then.
Chapter 1810
“Thank you Uncle Wen for your concern. This younger generation is indeed still alive.” Dustin nodded.
He didn’t know Wen Wen’s past, so he seemed a little surprised by the sudden excitement of the person in front of him.
“It’s good to be alive…it’s good to be alive!”
Wen Wen was surprised and happy: “Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. I didn’t expect His Highness to be so tall. I almost didn’t recognize him.”
“Yeah, ten years later, many things have changed.” Dustin sighed.
Ten years ago, my mother died, and ten years later, my father was assassinated.
Ten years later, both parents are gone, which is really sad.
“Uncle Wen, you just said that as long as you see my eldest brother, you will fully support the palace. Now that my eldest brother has shown up, you won’t regret it, right?” Thorian Rhys asked tentatively.
“If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to inherit the throne, I will support His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne even if I shed my blood!” Wen Shun said with a serious look on his face.
Compared to his previous calmness, at this moment, he was full of high morale, and his whole body exuded an unprecedented power.
“Okay! Uncle Wen really kept his promise!” Thorian Rhys smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.
It’s the eldest brother who has to take action!
He talked a lot and didn’t even try to convince me. However, as soon as his elder brother showed up, he got it done easily.
Although ten years have passed, the name of the Kirin son of the Rhys Family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is respected by thousands of people.
“Uncle Wen, no one knows about my return to West Lucozia. I hope you can keep it secret for the time being until I catch all the murderers of my father!” Dustin asked.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will keep my mouth shut!” Wen Shun nodded.
Being as smart as him, of course he knew Logan Rhys’s intentions.
The prince was killed by the remnants of Hulong Pavilion, and now Dustin Kate is competing for the throne. It can be said that there are constant internal and external troubles.
If his identity is exposed at this time, he will only become the target of public criticism.
On the contrary, hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity is the best strategy.
“Thank you, Uncle Wen.” Dustin clasped his fists.
“Your Highness, if you want to deal with Dustin Kate, I have a way.” Wen Shun suddenly came up with a plan.
“Oh? Uncle Wen, please speak.” Dustin raised his eyebrows.
“Dustin Kate’s prestige in the army is quite high, but compared to the prince, it is still far behind. Although the four major princes in the north are all Dustin Kate’s people, looking at the entire Black Dragon Army, more than 80% are loyal to the prince and loyal to the prince. The palace.
If, in the name of His Highness, we secretly contact the prince’s old department and contact those loyal ministers and soldiers, I believe that a powerful force will be gathered soon.
And this power is enough to defeat Dustin Kate! “Wen Shun said with a serious face.
As soon as these words came out, Thorian Rhys couldn’t help but his eyes lit up: “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of this? As long as I issue an edict in the name of eldest brother, there will definitely be a lot of support!”
Although Dustin Kate is very powerful, he can never cover the sky with one hand.
As long as the major generals are united, they can be completely defeated, and they can even be defeated without fighting!
“If it was ten years ago, it would still be possible. As for now, I have no confidence.” Dustin shook his head.
Ten years ago, he was in the limelight and received hundreds of responses in West Lucozia.
But it’s different now. After all, he disappeared for ten years and many things have changed.
There are probably not many people who can identify with the name Logan Rhys.
“Your Highness, don’t belittle yourself. For us veterans, Your Highness is the hope of West Lucozia’s future. As long as you take office, you will definitely have countless supporters!” Wen Shun is very confident.
Chapter 1811
“This…” Dustin frowned slightly, seeming to be hesitating.
“Your Highness!”
Wen Shun suddenly clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: “I am not talented, but I am willing to overcome all obstacles for Your Highness. If Your Highness can trust me, leave this matter to me. I will contact those loyal officers and soldiers secretly, quickly accumulate strength, and wait until the time is right. As long as His Highness raises his arms, we will definitely help His Highness achieve success!”
“Uncle Wen is really kind and righteous, and I admire him so much!” Thorian Rhys said sincerely in admiration.
“If that’s the case, then there’s Uncle Lao Wen.” Dustin returned the gesture with fists raised.
“It’s an honor for me to work for His Highness,” Wen Shun said.
“Master Hou! It’s not good!”
At this time, a guard suddenly ran into the door and said with a panicked expression: “I just received news that the Prince of West Lucozia is surrounded by a large army. The situation is now in danger!”
“What? Being surrounded?”
As soon as these words came out, Dustin and Thorian Rhys’s expressions changed instantly.
They had only been out for less than two days, and they didn’t expect the change to happen so quickly.
“What’s going on? Tell me carefully!” Thorian Rhys asked eagerly.
The guard glanced at Wen Wen and after receiving a nod, he said: “The four northern princes led an elite team and sneaked into the Royal City last night. All the officers of the Royal City Guards above the school level were held hostage. The Royal City soldiers and horses, led by dragons, were paralyzed. , the four northern princes took the opportunity to besiege the palace in the name of King internal energyn, saying they wanted to kill Xiao Xiao and avenge the prince, but in fact they were sending troops to seize power!”
“boom!”
Thorian Rhys was so angry that he slammed the table and said angrily: “Rebellion! These guys are really rebelling! They dare to send troops to besiege the palace. They are simply audacious!”
He thought that even if the four major princes wanted to be in turmoil, they would at most just come to the city and put pressure on them.
He really didn’t expect that these guys would be so crazy, completely torn apart, and immediately came to the bottom of the cauldron.
If the palace is destroyed and the military talisman falls into Dustin Kate’s hands, then they are really doomed!
“It seems that Dustin Kate has been prepared for a long time.” Dustin frowned and began to fall into deep thought.
This strange move really caught them off guard.
He also wanted to unite the four major princes in the south and persuade some loyal ministers and soldiers to jointly attack Dustin Kate.
Unexpectedly, the other party had taken the lead and completely took control of the initiative.
Once the palace falls, the consequences will be disastrous!
“Brother, what should we do now?” Thorian Rhys was a little anxious.
“There is no time to think about it. We must rush back as soon as possible to resolve the crisis in the palace.” Dustin said solemnly.
“But the troops and horses we have now are not enough to fight against Dustin Kate. Even with Uncle Wen and the others’ help, it will take time to deploy troops and generals, and we may not be able to make it in time.” Thorian Rhys frowned.
“There is no other way, now we can only give it a try!”
Dustin looked at Wen Shun and said seriously: “Uncle Wen, please immediately unite your father’s old troops, and together with the other three princes, support the palace. I will try my best to buy time for you and get reinforcements to arrive!”
“Your Highness! Is this too risky?” Wen Shun frowned.
“We have lost the opportunity and must take the risk.”
Dustin leaned over and bowed, and said solemnly: “Uncle Wen, I will leave everything to you in the future!”
“Old minister… I will never let down His Highness’ trust!” Wen Shun nodded heavily.
“Thank you, Uncle Wen.”
Dustin glanced at Thorian Rhys and said in a deep voice: “Let’s go! Go back to the palace and meet Dustin Kate for a while!”
Chapter 1812
Late at night, in the royal city, in front of the gate of the palace.
A large number of armed soldiers gathered into human walls, completely surrounding the huge palace.
Looking around, there was a huge black area with tens of thousands of people!
These are just the vanguard troops. In fact, there is an armed army stationed outside the royal city.
They were the soldiers and horses of the four major princes in the north, among which there was also a bodyguard of Dustin Kate.
However, they are all disguised.
At this moment, in the palace.
Princess Elara was wearing plain linen and a filial piety hat. He had a cold face and stood at the gate menacingly.
She also held a sharp sword in her hand, and she looked majestic and murderous.
When the life of the palace was at stake, Princess Elara, as the princess, stood up without hesitation, standing alone in the front.
Behind her, stood Shi Changning and a group of armored dragon guards.
There are not many people, but they are the most powerful force in the palace.
Behind Youlongwei, there was still a group of government soldiers and servants standing.
The soldiers of the government held swords and the servants held sticks. They were waiting in strict formation and regarded death as if they were home.
Further back, in the inner courtyard.
A group of old, weak, women and children in the palace were also wearing sackcloth and mourning, holding weapons and staring at the door in the distance.
Once the Youlong Guards are destroyed and all the soldiers and servants of the palace are killed, they will rush forward without hesitation, vowing to live and die with the palace.
“Dad…Mom…I’m afraid…”
In the crowd, there was a teenage boy, holding a knife in both hands, trembling, and his face was ashen.
Having been pampered since childhood, when had he ever experienced such a scene?
When he learned that the palace was surrounded and tens of thousands of troops were ambushed outside, he realized that the situation in the palace was over and he was likely to die tonight.
“waste!”
A middle-aged man turned around and glared, and shouted: “I, the man of the Rhys Family, have been on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, and none of them is a coward. If you dare to take a step back today, I will kill you first!”
“dad?”
The young man was trembling with fear, tears welling up in his eyes.
“You’re crying! A real man doesn’t shed tears when he bleeds. If his head falls off, there will be a scar no bigger than the mouth of a bowl. Wipe your tears for me!” the middle-aged man yelled.
The young man did not dare to say anything and quickly wiped away his tears.
A woman next to him turned to look at the boy and forced a smile: “Xiao Wu, there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter what happens, your parents will be with you.”
“Xiao Wu, the more scared we are, the stronger we must be and not let others look down upon us!” At this time, a fourteen-year-old girl said with firm eyes.
“Yeah!” The young man gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
“Hazel…”
The woman took out a bottle of medicine, handed it to the girl, and warned: “You must protect your brother in a while. If we can’t stop him, just drink this bottle of medicine, so that you can avoid some torture.”
“I understand!” The girl nodded and held the medicine bottle tightly.
She knew in her heart that this was a bottle of poison.
If the palace’s troops could not stop the invasion, she would have no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison.
Otherwise, her end may be more terrible than death.
A solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire palace.
Everyone knows that the palace is about to be in disaster.
However, even if they were afraid, even if they knew they would die, no one backed down.
“boom!”
“boom!”
“boom!!”
At this time, the soldiers outside the palace began to bang on the door.
Chapter 1813
The heavy palace door was banged and trembled.
The sound of each impact was like a giant hammer, hitting everyone’s hearts hard.
“Open the door!!”
Princess Elara gave a sweet shout and ordered someone to open the door.
This unexpected move made the soldiers who broke the door look confused and completely confused.
At this time, shouldn’t we close the door tightly and guard against death?
What’s going on if you open the door yourself?
Could it be that there is an ambush inside?
“Chen Chao! Dustin Song! Kang internal Linden! He Yuanhui! Come out and show yourself!”
Princess Elara stood with his sword in hand and spoke loudly.
The powerful aura forced the soldiers outside the door not to come near for a while.
The four names she called corresponded to the four major princes in the north and were also the main forces in this rebellion.
“What? Do you dare to do it or not? Are the four great princes just hiding their heads and showing their tails?!”
Seeing no one responded, Princess Elara spoke again, his words sonorous and powerful, sounding like a bell, resounding throughout the palace.
After a few seconds, the soldiers and horses directly in front of the palace suddenly dispersed, leaving a wide road.
Immediately afterwards, four middle-aged men of different shapes, wearing armor and hanging cloaks, walked over side by side.
Those who came were none other than the four great princes of the north.
“Chen Chao—I’ve met the princess!”
“Dustin Song——I’ve met the princess!”
“Cambridge—I’ve met the princess!”
“He Yuanhui – I’ve met the princess!”
The four of them walked to the door and bowed at the same time.
“Hmph! Do you still have me as the princess in your eyes?!” Princess Elara said coldly.
“Princess, what are you talking about? Once you are a princess, you will always be a princess.” Chen Chaopi said with a smile.
“If you treat me as a princess, why do you want to rebel?” Princess Elara shouted.
“Princess, you have misunderstood. We are not rebelling, but King internal energyn.” Chen Chao said with a smile.
“That’s right!” Dustin Song next to him nodded: “The prince’s death is very strange. We heard that someone deliberately murdered him, so we specially sent troops to catch the murderer!”
“Yes! We are loyal to the prince. Now that something happens to the prince, we naturally cannot stand by and watch.” Kang internal Linden agreed.
“Me too.” He Yuanhui said briefly and simply.
“I am sending people to fully investigate the prince’s assassination. You don’t need to worry about it. If you still have some conscience, then withdraw your troops immediately!” Princess Elara said solemnly.
“The palace has encountered a catastrophe. As princes, we have the responsibility to come to help. Princess, are you reacting so violently, are you afraid? Or are you guilty?” Chen Chao said meaningfully.
“How dare you doubt me?!” Princess Elara glared.
“Of course we don’t doubt the princess, but it’s hard to tell about the people around the princess. In order to seek justice for the prince, we must search the palace and interrogate all suspicious persons!” Chen Chao said loudly.
“Outsiders are not allowed to carry weapons like those in the palace, this is the rule!” Princess Elara shouted.
“In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things.”
Chen Chao made a gesture: “Come here, go in and search!”
“Let’s see who dares!”
Princess Elara suddenly took two steps forward, raised his long sword, and pointed it directly at Chen Chao’s throat: “If any of you steps into the palace today, don’t blame me for being ruthless with my sword!”
Seeing this battle, a group of soldiers who had just approached were so frightened that they stood still.
After all, she is the Princess consort. She has been in a high position for a long time, and she has an invisible sense of oppression.
“Princess, we are all avenging the prince. If you insist on blocking it, don’t blame us for being disrespectful!”
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Chapter 1814
“If you want to enter the palace, you must step over my body first!”
Princess Elara stood with a sword and a strong aura, guarding the door alone.
Her strength is not strong and she can only be regarded as an innate warrior. However, the aura she displays at this moment is stronger than that of a martial arts master.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Chen Chao was shocked. He frowned deeply for a while and did not dare to move.
He could only turn his attention to the other three princes.
Threats are threats, and forced palaces are forced to be forced into palaces, but at least they have to be famous as teachers, otherwise, they will only be reviled by the world and abandoned by all people.
They surrounded the palace in the name of tracking down the murderer. Even if their behavior was a bit excessive, they could evade it afterwards, feeling overly sad and losing control of their emotions.
However, if the princess was killed during the process of forcing the palace, no matter how they explain it or find reasons, they will not be able to wash away the crime.
By then, public outrage is bound to arouse.
And not only the forces in West Lucozia are shaken, but Stonia will definitely send troops to suppress it.
After all, Princess Elara is not only the princess of West Lucozia, but also the eldest princess of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom.
With such an identity, they naturally dare not act rashly.
To put it simply, everyone in the palace can be killed, except Princess Elara.
So when Princess Elara put on a posture of dying together, they were a little at a loss.
“Three people? What should we do now?”
Chen Chao looked at the three princes around him and asked in a low voice.
“The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. We have reached this point and there is no reason to retreat.” Dustin Song said coldly.
“Yes, we are only one step away from success. We can’t just give up.” Kang internal Linden agreed.
“Of course I understand. What I mean is, how should the princess handle it?” Chen Chao whispered.
“As long as the princess’s life is not hurt, there will be no big trouble.” He Yuanhui said suddenly.
“You mean… tied up?” Chen Chao raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Do you have any other ideas?” He Yuanhui asked.
Chen Chao said nothing and looked at Dustin Song and Kang internal Linden again, with doubts in his eyes.
“That’s all.” Dustin Song nodded.
“Second.” Kang internal Linden nodded.
“Okay, let’s do it!”
After receiving the approval, Chen Chao suddenly spoke loudly: “Listen to me, the princess was deceived by the traitor and lost her mind. Your mission is to protect the princess and send her to the hospital for treatment. Do you understand?”
“clear!”
All the soldiers shouted in unison.
“Now, follow my orders, enter the palace, and save the princess!”
Chen Chao waved his hand, and a large number of soldiers put down their weapons and swarmed forward.
Princess Elara has a distinguished status, so they naturally dare not use weapons. If someone is hurt, they will be in trouble.
“stop!!”
Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the four major princes were about to break into the palace, an angry shout suddenly exploded out of thin air.
At the same time, Thorian Rhys, dressed in golden armor, fell directly from the sky and blocked the door.
When he landed, his feet splashed out a powerful energy wave, instantly knocking dozens of soldiers away and clearing an open area.
“Let’s see who dares to be bold!”
Thorian Rhys pulled out the knife from his waist and blocked the door, his whole body erupting with a monstrous force.
Like a heavenly soldier coming to this world, it shocked the whole audience.
“Thorian?”
Chapter 1815
Seeing that her son had returned safely, Princess Elara couldn’t help but look happy, but soon her expression turned serious again.
Because she discovered that her son left with only a few people and came with a few people, but he did not bring any soldiers or horses.
“Did it fail?”
Princess Elara frowned slightly, feeling increasingly heavy in his heart.
Their only hope is to invite the four major princes in the south to take action, and then compete with the four major princes in the north.
Looking at it now, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
“You are so brave! How dare you break into the palace without permission! Are you dying?!” Thorian Rhys shouted loudly.
Its sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the whole place, deafening.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the four major princes did not dare to act rashly for a while.
“It turns out that the young prince is back.”
Chen Chao smiled faintly: “We, the four princes, have found out that there is a real murderer hidden in the prince’s palace. In order to avenge the prince, we have to go in and search, and we also ask the young prince to make way.”
“What a search!”
Thorian Rhys shouted in a deep voice: “What kind of place is the palace? How can I allow you to search at your own convenience? Get away from me!”
“Young prince, we are sincere and serve the country and the people, but you are trying to stop us in every possible way. What is your intention?” Chen Chao said calmly.
“Hmph! Stop pretending in front of me! Everyone on the street knows your Sima Zhao’s intentions!” Thorian Rhys said coldly.
“Young prince, we don’t understand what you are talking about.” Chen Chaodao.
“Chen Chao! I will give you a chance now. If you leave immediately, I can pretend that nothing has happened. You will still be the princes of West Lucozia, and you can still live a wealthy life.”
At this point, Thorian Rhys suddenly changed the subject: “But if you are stubborn and insist on rebelling, then I can guarantee that you will regret it!”
“Young prince, we are thinking of the overall situation, please give way!” Chen Chao was unmoved.
The other three people also had bright eyes and did not flinch at all.
At this point, they had no reason to retreat.
As long as they support Dustin Kate to rise to power, they will be great contributors, and their power will be even greater in the future.
After all, in their view, after the death of West Lucozia King Rufus Rhys, Dustin Kate, as the general of the Hussars, was the most promising person to ascend to the throne.
As for Thorian Rhys? He is just a young child, how can he have the right to sit on their heads?
“I’m leaving my words here today. If anyone dares to take a step forward, I will make their head fall to the ground!” Thorian Rhys said murderously.
“Um?”
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then winked at the guards behind him.
The guards nodded and began to slowly move forward.
“death wish!”
Thorian Rhys’s face darkened, and without any nonsense, he directly raised the knife in his hand and waved it in the air.
“Whoosh!”
A sharp blade shot out, instantly piercing the necks of several guards with lightning speed.
Several guards froze and stood on the spot.
The next second, several heads fell to the ground and rolled around on the ground like rubber balls.
Chen Chao’s pupils shrank, he was not surprised but overjoyed, and said loudly: “Have you all seen it? The young prince has gone crazy and kills people on sight. As loyal ministers and soldiers, we should cure the young prince’s madness to prevent the young prince from getting mad. Your Majesty, you will hurt innocent people again!”
“Come here! Catch the young prince! Enter the house to search for the murderer!” Dustin Song shouted.
“Seize the young prince! Enter the house to search for the murderer!” The four princes shouted one after another.
The next second, a large number of armed soldiers turned into a torrent of steel and surged towards Thorian Rhys.
Both sides are completely at war!
Chapter 1816
“death wish!”
Seeing the swarming armed soldiers, Thorian Rhys instantly became furious.
No longer showing mercy, he directly raised his knife and charged into the crowd.
Now, he has entered the realm of martial arts master, and after several years of training on the battlefield, he has extremely rich combat experience.
One person rushes into the killing formation, unstoppable and very brave.
“Protect the young prince! Kill!”
Princess Elara raised his long sword into the air.
The Youlong Guards behind him all drew their weapons.
“kill!”
Shi Changning waved his sword and led hundreds of dragon guards to charge into the army.
Although the number of Wandering Dragon Guards is small, all of them are unique masters and well-trained.
Under the leadership of martial arts master Shi Changning, they charged forward and were invincible.
The team of more than a hundred people was like a sharp long knife, cutting a long hole in the tens of thousands of troops and hitting the heart directly.
Under the protection of the personal guards, the four princes immediately stayed away from the battlefield to avoid assassination.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such an elite force hidden in the palace.”
Looking at the Youlongwei who was killing everyone, Chen Chao couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly, looking a little surprised.
“Fortunately, there are only about a hundred people, not a large number, otherwise it would be enough for us to drink a pot.” Dustin Song was a little lucky.
“If I guess correctly, this should be the legendary Dragon Guard, a master carefully selected by Rufus Rhys from the elite of the Black Dragon Army. Each one is one in a million,” Kang internal Linden said.
“I see, no wonder it’s so powerful.” He Yuanhui nodded.
“It’s useless to be powerful. The number is too small and they cannot pose a threat to us. No matter how brave they are now, once their physical strength is exhausted, they will only be waiting to be killed.” Chen Chao took over the topic.
“Do you think there will be any changes?” Dustin Song suddenly asked.
“What could happen? The palace is under siege, and it will only fall sooner or later. Our army is still stationed outside the royal city. If there is any trouble, we will know it immediately. Just relax!” Kang internal Linden consoled him. road.
“You’re right! Now that the overall situation has been decided, it’s impossible for Princess Elara, mother and son, and Thorian Rhys to overturn the situation. Besides, we still have the generals sitting behind the scenes. Even if the four major princes from the south come in person, they can’t overturn anything. Big wave!” Chen Chao was full of confidence.
After Rufus Rhys left, how could the royal palace, led by dragons and relying on a group of old, weak women and children, fight against the powerful Dustin Kate?
So what if Thorian Rhys persuaded the four major princes in the south?
The soldiers and horses of those people could not enter the royal city at all, let alone rescue the palace.
In this current situation, no one can change fate.
Time is passing little by little.
The battle between the two sides became more and more intense.
On the palace side, Thorian Rhys and Shi Changning led the charge, with more than a hundred dragon guards rushing around.
At the beginning, the team’s momentum was very strong, and the soldiers and horses of the four major princes could not stop it at all.
But as the fighting continued, and with the exhaustion of physical strength, the gap between the two sides gradually became apparent.
Although the Youlong Guards were fierce, their numbers were still too small. On the other hand, the vanguard troops of the four major princes numbered tens of thousands.
No matter how many Youlongwei kill, more people will follow.
After several waves of attacks, the Dragon Guards began to show signs of fatigue and suffered casualties.
Seeing this scene, the four princes couldn’t help but feel refreshed.
“Hahaha… Did you see that? The elites in the royal palace are on their last legs and will soon be surrounded and killed.” Chen Chao smiled proudly.
“Pit an egg against a stone, don’t underestimate your own capabilities.” Kang internal Linden shook his head.
“What a pity for such an elite team. It would be great if they were my subordinates.” Dustin Song sighed.
Chapter 1817
When He Yuanhui next to him was about to speak, his pupils suddenly shrank, he pointed at something and exclaimed: “Look! What is that?!”
Several people looked along his line of sight and saw a black stream of light pouring straight down from the sky, finally crashing into the army.
“boom!!”
There was a loud noise, the ground shook, and smoke and dust flew everywhere.
A powerful shock wave, like a tsunami, centered on the impact point and swept away in all directions.
Wherever he passed, people fell on their backs and wailed.
Just such a collision directly caused hundreds of casualties.
“Fuck! What the hell?” Chen Chao narrowed his eyes.
Because the smoke and dust were so thick, it was impossible to see what had just fallen.
“It can’t be some meteorite fragments, right?” Dustin Song was a little confused.
“Meteors falling from the sky? How could such a coincidence happen!” Kang internal Linden didn’t believe it at all.
“I can see it clearly! That’s a person!”
He Yuanhui pointed at the impact point with sharp eyes and shouted: “He is rushing over here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure shot out from the smoke and went directly towards the four princes.
The figure is holding a black sword, and its speed is extremely fast. Wherever it passes, it is unstoppable, and there is no enemy at all.
Those armed soldiers were like tofu in front of the figures, breaking into pieces at the first touch.
For a time, there were countless casualties.
“There is an assassin! Hurry! Stop him!”
He Yuanhui was the first to react and hurriedly gathered his team to surround and kill the figure.
“Hmph! Strike an egg against a stone! We have tens of thousands of troops to protect us. Even if this man has the ability to reach the sky, there is no way he can take our heads among thousands of troops!” Chen Chao said with a cold face and some disdain.
Although it is said that to capture the thief, capture the king first, and to kill the enemy, kill the general first.
But it is extremely difficult to implement it. Most of the so-called beheadings are assassinations.
To assassinate the general in front of everyone is simply asking for death.
You know, each of them is protected by a powerful personal guard.
If there was any danger, they would be able to escape easily under the escort of the personal guards, without any fear of assassination.
“Old Chen! Something seems wrong. That assassin is so fierce that ordinary soldiers can’t stop him!” He Yuanhui frowned.
He had excellent eyesight and could clearly see that figure was killing everyone in the crowd.
“Why are you panicking? He’s just an assassin, I don’t believe he can make any big waves!” Chen Chao was still disdainful.
A noble prince cannot be so frightened by an assassin that he flees, right?
“Old Chen! No way! The man is getting closer and closer, less than a hundred meters away from us. For safety, we must retreat!” He Yuanhui shouted in a deep voice.
“This…” Chen Chao frowned, his face a little ugly.
He initially thought that the assassin couldn’t charge very far, but he didn’t expect that now, he had almost pierced the entire army camp.
This strength is simply terrifying!
The problem is, he has just stopped talking. If he retreats now, wouldn’t he be slapping himself in the face?
If it were spread, it would really undermine the dignity.
“Damn it! I don’t care, just retreat first!”
Seeing that Chen Chao had not made up his mind for a long time, He Yuanhui was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly gave the order and began to retreat with his personal guards.
We are only one step away from success. If we fall into the hands of assassins tonight, we will be the real laughingstock of the world!
Chapter 1818
He Yuanhui was very smart. When he saw that the assassin was unstoppable, he decisively ordered the guards to retreat.
As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about leaving green hills without firewood. As long as you temporarily avoid the assassin’s sharp edge, and then use the army to surround and kill the assassin when his energy is exhausted, this is the most prudent choice.
“Old Chen! I think Lao He is right. Safety is the most important thing. I’ll go to the back first to avoid the limelight.”
Seeing He Yuanhui retreating, Dustin Song did not dare to stay for a long time. Under the protection of the personal guards, he began to retreat slowly.
“Hmph! As timid as a mouse!”
Chen Chao frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, then looked at Kang Linden, and said meaningfully: “Old Kang, you have always been brave, so you shouldn’t give in like those two people, right?”
“of course not!”
Kang Linden stretched his muscles and sneered: “It’s just an assassin, I haven’t taken it seriously yet!”
For him to become a prince can be said to have climbed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
What big scene haven’t you seen?
The little assassin certainly couldn’t scare him.
“Okay! Then let us see how capable this assassin is!”
Chen Chao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: “Set up the formation! Capture the assassin!”
“yes!”
Afterwards, hundreds of personal guards immediately drew their swords and surrounded and killed the assassin.
“Capture the assassin!”
Not to be outdone, Kang Linden suddenly drew his sword, commanded his own bodyguards, and killed them from the other direction.
Their personal guards are all carefully selected elites. Each one of them can equal one to a hundred, and are much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
Although that assassin was very powerful, he was able to rush in and kill thousands of soldiers because he didn’t meet any real elites.
Once their personal guards enter the scene, it is obviously impossible to continue the rampage of cutting melons and vegetables.
Sure enough, as soon as the personal guards of the two princes appeared, the charging speed of the assassins in front immediately slowed down.
The Guards are far stronger than ordinary soldiers in terms of strength, equipment, and combat experience.
Although it cannot compete with those top experts, it can also play a great limiting role.
Just like ordinary soldiers, they only wear ordinary steel armor, but elite guards can wear black iron armor.
In terms of defense, the two sides are not on the same level.
It takes more effort for a martial arts master to kill ten personal guards than to kill a hundred ordinary soldiers.
“Hmph! I thought he was so powerful, but as soon as our personal guards appeared, he was already dead.”
Looking at the surrounded assassins in front of him, Kang Linden couldn’t help but sneered, thinking that he had a chance to win.
“That’s natural! They are all elites trained with a lot of money. How can they be the same as ordinary soldiers?” Chen Chao smiled lightly.
“Who can kill this thief! I will reward you with a reward of ten thousand taels!” Kang Linden raised his sword to the sky and shouted at the same time.
As soon as these words came out, tens of thousands of soldiers were shocked.
They rushed towards the center of the battlefield, and the fear they had before turned into desire.
The bounty is ten thousand taels, which is enough to drive people crazy.
“Kill, kill, kill! Kill him!”
The soldiers roared angrily and charged forward fearlessly.
Invisibly, a gap appeared in the defensive formation that had been maintained before.
The black figure seized the opportunity, immediately increased his speed, and before the gap was closed, he rushed directly towards Chen Chao and the two men.
“Don’t be chaotic! Hold your ground!”
Chen Chao frowned and quickly gave instructions, but it was already too late.
The black figure was too fast. After finding a flaw, he became even more invincible. The sword in his hand was like a meat grinder.
Wherever he passed, there were stumps of limbs and broken arms all over the ground, making it impossible to stop him.
The personal guards of the two princes tried to stop him, but to no avail.
The black figure was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and started killing everyone.
“It’s broken! This person just hid his strength and we fell into a trap!”
Kang Linden’s expression changed, and he quickly noticed something unusual.
When fighting against the bodyguards, the assassin deliberately showed weakness and assumed a posture of being surrounded.
Chapter 1819
However, when the guards were completely gathered, the assassin suddenly burst out with amazing strength.
The reason for this is very simple. The other party wants to draw out their personal guards, so that the defense around them is weak and they can better assassinate.
“Fuck! It’s so treacherous and cunning! Get out of here!”
Seeing that his guards could not return to defense in time, Chen Chao finally panicked and quickly started to retreat with the generals around him.
But at this moment, they had lost the best opportunity to retreat.
The black figure’s charging speed was much faster than their retreat speed.
In just two minutes, the distance between the two sides was less than twenty meters.
“Master Hou! We will stop the assassins for you! You retreat first!”
Seeing that they couldn’t run away, several generals decisively drew their swords and rushed towards the black figure.
As a result, several people were defeated after less than ten seconds.
“Damn it! I’ll fight you!”
Kang Linden roared angrily, advanced instead of retreating, and drew his sword to kill.
“Old Kang! Don’t be impulsive!”
Chen Chao’s expression changed drastically and he quickly stopped. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Kang Linden rushed forward and slashed at the black figure’s neck with a knife, but the black figure grabbed the blade and then stabbed Kang Linden’s shoulder with a backhand sword.
“who are you?!”
Kang Linden gritted his teeth and tried not to scream.
The black figure said nothing, suddenly grabbed Kang Linden’s collar, and then threw it into the sky.
“Whoosh!”
Kang Linden was thrown hundreds of meters away like a cannonball, crossing the gate of the palace, and finally hit the courtyard heavily.
“Boom!”
There was a loud bang.
Kang Linden’s body directly smashed a human-shaped hole into the ground. His whole body vomited blood and wailed endlessly.
I don’t know how many bones in my body were broken.
“Cambridge!”
Princess Elara, who was guarding the door, suddenly turned around, put his long sword at Kang Linden’s throat, and shouted: “Let your soldiers surrender immediately, otherwise – die!”
…
Outside the palace.
Seeing Kang Linden being thrown away, Chen Chao couldn’t help but froze for a moment and ran after Sayazi.
At this moment, he finally regretted it.
If he had known that this assassin was so powerful, he should have retreated in time like Dustin Song and He Yuanhui, so as not to put himself in danger.
“Can you run?”
The black figure snorted coldly, stepped forward, grabbed Chen Chao’s back collar, and lifted him up.
“Don’t… don’t kill me! I’ll give you whatever you want!” Chen Chao panicked and quickly said something nice.
“Killing you? It would be too easy on you!”
The black figure swung one hand and threw Chen Chao into the air, then jumped up and kicked Chen Chao in the abdomen.
“Boom!”
A muffled sound.
Chen Chao’s whole body was like a football, flying two to three hundred meters away, flying over the heads of many soldiers, and finally accurately shooting into the palace gate.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the fall, he vomited blood and screamed repeatedly.
“Catch him!”
Princess Elara, who had been waiting for him for a long time, gave an order to have Chen Chao tied up.
Two of the four major princes have been captured.
As long as the last two people are dealt with, the crisis in the palace will be resolved naturally.
“It’s your turn!”
Outside the palace, Dustin suddenly raised his head, glanced at Dustin Song and He Yuanhui in front of him with a sharp gaze, and finally raised his sword to kill him.
