The Thirteenth Prince stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression calm and without any visible expression. Looking at the group of subordinates he had just recruited, a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his pupils.
"The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son." This is the etiquette taught by Confucianism in the world. Since these people agreed to submit to themselves, both parties have the title of ministers. When I rescued them when they were in death, this is
You have fulfilled your duty as a king. Now it is the turn of these people to fulfill their loyalty as "subjects", but these people have refused.
What is the use of such people and ministers? How can you expect them to stand in the same boat with you and help you ascend to the throne?
It is true that the divine beasts in the Sky Chong Realm are powerful, but he is responsible for dealing with the main impact. If these people could die for him, the Thirteenth Prince would not want them to die. If there was really danger, he would push them away in advance.
The blood of the divine beast Tianchong is just an excuse. With the blood of the divine beast Yinglong, how can the Thirteenth Prince care about the blood of these last updated divine beasts? For him, this matter is just a "touchstone".
"Not of much use!"
The Thirteenth Prince glanced at these people and snorted in his heart.
At this moment, a voice came into my ears:
"Now that the Thirteenth Prince has said it, let's do it."
Since Fang Yun had figured out the thoughts of the Thirteenth Prince, he naturally knew that it would be more dangerous not to go and stay here, but if he went, there might not be any danger.
Looking up at the Thirteenth Prince, Fang Yun said:
"However, the Thirteenth Prince, what we have to face is, after all, a divine beast of the Sky Chong Realm. This matter is not a trivial matter, it is not trivial. What I mean is that everyone might as well rest for a while. After all, everyone has been fighting for a while and is a little tired. In addition,
, during this period, you might as well find out the situation of the mythical beasts ahead. Study the habits of those mythical beasts, so that you can be more confident in obtaining the essence and blood of the mythical beasts."
A strange look flashed across the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince. This second son of the Fang family is indeed different from ordinary people, and it is not in vain. I hope to use him to check and balance those noble princes in the future.
"Okay," the Thirteenth Prince flicked his sleeves. Naturally, he would not bother with such small details. He looked at the others and said:
"Anyone else want to go along?"
"Me," Sun Shikun said immediately. Where Fang Yun wanted to go, he would naturally go too.
Marquis Xueyi and Marquis Yi Tian glanced at each other, and they both saw the same solemnity in each other's hearts. The two of them glanced at Fang Yun, thoughtfully in their hearts.
In the past, when Fang Yun first came in, it must have been a cold scene for Fang Yun to sing such a one-man show. However, the two of them had been together with Fang Yun for some time. Did they know about this sixteen-year-old little marquis?
few.
This year, although he is not as old as most of the people present, he behaves in a well-reasoned and well-founded manner. They believe that Fang Yun will not be reckless and make fun of his own life. If he does so, he will definitely do so.
There is profound meaning.
"If the Thirteenth Prince wants to obtain the blood of the Tianchong Divine Beast, the two of us are willing to contribute."
The two of them glanced at the expressionless, statue-like Lord Zhendian behind them, and felt a lot more confident in their hearts. Unlike the others, the two of them knew that this Lord Zhendian was deeply ungrateful, and his cultivation was far ahead of them.
It's a pity that the two of them are too far apart from him, and I don't know if he has reached the Tianchong realm.
If so, the Thirteenth Prince plus a strong man from the Sky Chong Realm, plus two guards from the Celestial Realm, this lineup is strong enough. The act of kidnapping the divine beast may seem dangerous, but it may not be so.
"I do too."
Yin Weiliang bit her lip, struggled in her eyes, and made a decision.
In an instant, five people agreed to follow the Thirteenth Prince, including three princes of the Zhou Dynasty. The expressions of the rest suddenly changed.
"I do too."
Young Master Xin Yan said. Compared to others, his decision was much simpler. He knew more about the Thirteenth Prince than anyone else, and he should have more trust in him.
"Now that everyone's opinions have been decided, I have no objections."
A prince wearing a dark blue robe said. This is the Tidal Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He guards the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has a navy under his name. However, the main enemies faced by the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty are the deep-sea sea tribes and the
People from Da Yingzhou.
Especially the deep-sea sea tribe, they are naturally able to control the big whales and sharks in the sea. The sea tribe also has countless strong men. Although there are few strong men at the Tianxiang level and Tianchong level, there are still some. In addition, there are strong people on the overseas continent.
However, not even a prince can resist him.
Tide Hou was only in charge of one branch of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Above him, there was a royal prince, who was the real commander of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When I was in Huai'an City, I made a special friendship with the Tide Marquis. The princes who guarded the sea area in the Zhou Dynasty were generally stronger. It was not easy for the Tide Marquis to reach this position.
When others rejected the Thirteenth Prince's decision, he was the only one who remained silent. At this time, after everyone spoke, he revealed his decision. In his behavior, he understood the golden mean.
The few remaining princes and powerful casual cultivators looked at each other in confusion. There were so many people who took the lead in agreeing. If they refused, they would be ignorant of current affairs.
"We are willing to follow the Thirteenth Prince."
Several princes said in a deep voice.
"We are also willing to follow the Thirteenth Prince."
Several strong casual cultivators lowered their heads. These people still wanted to take advantage of the Thirteenth Prince's influence to serve in the imperial court and enjoy the glory, wealth and supreme power of the imperial court. Naturally, they did not dare to retreat.
The Thirteenth Prince sneered in his heart. In his eyes, these people were basically classified as "unfit for use".
"Now that everyone agrees, as General Fang said, let's rest for a while."
After saying that, the Thirteenth Prince flicked his sleeves and immediately walked over, sat down next to the Zhendian Marquis, closed his eyes and meditated. Although the decision was finally adopted, the Thirteenth Prince was not very happy.
Among the people gathered under his name, only Fang Yun satisfied him.
The Thirteenth Prince's heart moved, and he suddenly used "Sound Transmission into Secrets" and said in a mosquito-like voice:
"Marquis Zhendian, you have followed my father for many years and have fought in the border areas. You have seen a lot. In your opinion, can these people be of great use?"
The voice of the Thirteenth Prince was extremely respectful. He seemed to be extremely convinced of this palace guard.
The Marquis of Zhendian closed his eyes to rest, his face expressionless:
"I only know that His Majesty the Human Emperor said when he was still the Crown Prince, everything has its purpose. Your Highness is familiar with "Historical Records", "Historical Mirror", and "Dragon Climbing Technique". Among all the princes, he is the most outstanding and has the chance to ascend the throne.
I hope. But in terms of spending money on my ministers, I am afraid that I am a little too hasty. There is still some gap between me and Your Majesty."
The Zhendianhou's voice was calm and there was no emotion. It seemed like it would always be a pool of stagnant water.
The sentence "Everything has its purpose" shocked Liu Che. Only then did he feel the gap between him and his father.
The current emperor had such thoughts when he was still the prince. This point alone is much stronger than his "emperor's mind" and "left-right balance".
The Thirteenth Prince sighed and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the suggestion. Liu Che has learned a lesson."
"Your Highness, there is no need to think too much. His Majesty, the Human Emperor, has inherited the tradition of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, which is unparalleled. His Highness can achieve this step, which is already very good. Moreover, when His Majesty the Human Emperor was still studying in the East Palace, he once read
I once heard Your Majesty’s comment on the theory of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. The Three Emperors and the Five Emperors have different ways of governing the world. But there is no doubt that they are all emperors for thousands of years. As a king, you don’t have to imitate the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, but you must make the best of the situation. Follow the general trend and
The art of transforming the emperor. This translation may be useful to His Highness!"
The Marquis of Zhendian said calmly. As the personal bodyguard of the current Emperor, he has been with him since he was still the crown prince. He knows a lot about the affairs of the Emperor.
The Thirteenth Prince was silent, but his heart was full of ups and downs. He considered himself to be the leader of the royal family in the "Emperor's Mental Technique". Now after hearing the Zhendianhou's words, he realized how far behind he was.
.
"I am not as far away as my father!"
The Thirteenth Prince felt a surge of sincere admiration in his heart. It was not unreasonable for the current emperor to stand out from the royal family.
"The group of people your Highness has recruited are all attached to the body but not attached to the heart. The only one who can be of great use is the second son of the Fang family. If Your Highness can make good use of it, in the future, this son may be able to help Your Majesty board the
The throne.”
The Marquis of Zhendian was silent for a long time, and suddenly said with deep meaning.
"Oh," the Thirteenth Prince was slightly shocked. He was originally going to ask the Zhendian Marquis about this, but he didn't expect that the Zhendian Marquis would take the initiative to mention it.
The Thirteenth Prince opened his eyes, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect that the Marquis' evaluation of him was so high!!"
Zhendianhou did not answer directly:
"His Majesty the Human Emperor has also noticed this second son of the Fang family."
A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince, and his understanding of Fang Yun improved again.
The Divine Continent of Middle-earth is filled with outstanding people. What kind of characters are not there?!
Hearing the words of the Zhendian Marquis, the Thirteenth Prince immediately knew that he had underestimated Fang Yun. There must be something else in the second son of the Fang family that he had not seen. Otherwise, it would never be possible.
Let the father who lives deep in the palace notice!
"Fang Yun..."
The Thirteenth Prince murmured to himself, a thoughtful light flashed across his eyes, and then he closed his eyes.
…………
Fang Yun didn't know that he had become the object of discussion between the Thirteenth Prince and the Zhendian Marquis. He was sitting cross-legged more than ten feet away, thinking deeply in his heart.
When a man is about to die, his words are kind; when a bird is about to die, his words are sad.
Fang Yun believed that the last words spoken by the elders of the Holy Witch Cult in order to save their lives were right. There should indeed be some treasure in the valley in the west.
He originally wanted to explore the valley after rescuing Sun Shikun. But he didn't expect that the Thirteenth Prince would break out halfway. It was not suitable to go there.
"Now, the Thirteenth Prince has relented. I just happened to go to explore that place. However, I have to find a good reason that will not make people suspicious."
