Chapter 0203 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
Concubine Dan looked at Jiang Chen with her wonderful eyes, half-smiling but not smiling: "Do you think you and the old man have similar views on heroes?"
Jiang Chen touched his nose: "You have already said it for me, what else can I say? In fact, I don't care much about who becomes the prince and who becomes the king. But after all, I am a guest invited by the fourth prince, so I have to pay for it.
He contributes a little bit. Moreover, from my personal point of view, it is better for him to be the prince than for Ye Dai to be the prince, right?"
Suddenly Jiang Chen paused and said, "Why do you seem to be not surprised at all about their fratricide? Could it be that you had guessed it earlier?"
Concubine Dan showed a smile full of wisdom: "It's not that I guessed it, but the old man has guessed it a long time ago. The so-called prince's seat will be determined in the first month of next year. In fact, the rumor behind it is the old man's instruction. I want to take this opportunity to investigate all parties.
It’s just a reaction.”
"It seems like the investigation is a bit too big now, isn't it? Isn't it going to end well?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"How could it be so big? Everything is under control." Concubine Dan smiled.
"What should I say? We are about to take action. Once the killing starts, who knows how many people will be able to get out alive?"
"If only one person gets out alive, then he will be the prince. If only one person gets out without any injuries, Ye Rong will be the prince. It's that simple."
"So, it has been decided that it is Ye Rong?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised now.
Concubine Dan shook her head and smiled mysteriously: "I didn't decide on Ye Rong long ago, but after the old man gave you the Tiangui Kingdom's military order after his birthday party."
"Uh, do I have such a big reputation?" Jiang Chen felt a little ashamed. He didn't take much part in the intrigues between the princes. Could it be that he attended a birthday banquet and accidentally gave a gift and solved a difficult problem?
Can you control the prince's ownership? This...isn't this too outrageous?
"Don't doubt it, the old man is never wrong when he looks at people. Although he didn't say it clearly, his meaning is already obvious - the one who wins Jiang Chen will be the crown prince."
"Can His Majesty the King agree? Moreover, this is fratricide among his sons. Can he just sit back and ignore it?"
Concubine Dan sighed: "Jiang Chen, call you naive, you are also cunning. Call you cunning and hateful, you are also naive sometimes. When you sit in the position of king, didn't they start fighting each other step by step?
Is that so? You all know that spirit apes kill each other, and only one will survive to the end. Do you think the survival rules of the emperor's house are gentler than those of the spirit beast world?"
Jiang Chen smiled casually and said exactly what he said.
Not to mention the Tiangui Kingdom, the previous king of the Eastern Kingdom, Dongfang Lu, wasn't it rumored that he came to the throne because he colluded with the former crown prince Dongfang Jun, leading to the death of the former crown prince Dongfang Jun?
Guo Jin's father was implicated because of this incident, which caused the Guo family to plummet and decline ever since.
If Ye Rong is good enough and can escape from the law of the jungle alive, it means that he can withstand the test and has the potential to be the king of a country in terms of strength, will, and luck.
On the contrary, if such a little competition can lead to death, then even if Ye Rong conquers the top with all his talents, it still proves that he is not blessed enough and lucky enough to be the king of a country.
We can only settle for the next best thing and decide according to the law of the jungle. The one who gets out alive will be the king of the country.
After the idea came to his mind, Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Sister Dan Fei, since we have encountered you, we can't just sit back and ignore her. After all, I am also the guest of the fourth prince. I will humiliate you and die."
Concubine Dan smiled sweetly: "Come on, don't think I can't see it. Do you look like the kind of courtier who is full of integrity?"
Seeing Jiang Chen speeding towards the mountain road, Concubine Dan quickly followed up: "You ran up there with such a big fanfare, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them and killed and silenced?"
"Isn't there a beauty like you? I believe that no matter how crazy they are, they will never kill you.
"You overestimate my charm. In the eyes of men, women are just decorations in life. Since ancient times, how many emperors have not loved the country but the beauty?"
Jiang Chen laughed loudly: "No wonder you don't speak hypocritically to those princes. It turns out that you have seen through their virtues long ago."
Concubine Dan said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. Jiang Chen, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?"
"Do you still need to explain this? There must be." Jiang Chen smiled, "Anyway, don't worry, I will definitely discover them before they discover me."
Anticipate the enemy's opportunity and discover the opponent one step ahead of the enemy
Although Concubine Dan didn't know why Jiang Chen was so confident, seeing how confident he looked, she couldn't even raise any doubts.
Jiang Chen did not follow Ye Dai and the others, but flew directly towards the southeast.
Now that he knew that Ye Rong and the others were about fifty miles southeast, Jiang Chen naturally would not delay and set off towards the valley at full speed.
If Ye Dai and the others wanted to meet up first, they would definitely have to make some arrangements. Jiang Chen was very sure that he could feel the valley before them.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen and Concubine Dan arrived at the outskirts of the valley.
As expected, there was a spy from the eldest prince at the entrance of the valley. Jiang Chen took Concubine Dan and sneaked into the valley, bypassing the spy's eyes and ears.
"Jiang Chen, should we go in directly to meet up, or?"
"Don't look for them first, so as not to alert the enemy. If the Fourth Prince and others know that we are coming, there will definitely be some changes in the team, which will be easy for spies to see."
Concubine Dan nodded thoughtfully.
"How much of that incense you still have?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"There are only three bottles left." Concubine Dan counted them.
Jiang Chen chuckled: "So, I still have to use my equipment."
Jiang Chen has outstanding talent when it comes to elixirs. He is naturally also good at using poisons and has many accurate poems.
Jiang Chen had two or three types of things that were similar to the Mystic Incense.
Concubine Dan saw that Jiang Chen was acting like a magician, constantly conjuring up various bottles and jars, moving them east and west, and arranged them everywhere.
Soon, a perfect trap was successfully laid by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "We're almost there, let's get out of the way first and wait to see the excitement?
"Jiang Chen, does this count as helping Ye Rong cheat?" Concubine Dan asked with a smile.
"This is called being in an invincible position. How can it be called cheating? If you really want to cheat, it would be called cheating if you directly kill Ye Dai. This can only be considered self-defense, right?"
There are seven people in Ye Rong's team. Except for Xue Tong, the remaining six people are all carefully selected by him.
But this time during the autumn hunting in the Lost Land, Xue Tong unexpectedly brought him many surprises. Especially during the hunting process, Xue Tong had superb archery skills and made great contributions.
And this Xue Tong, young but very calm-minded, participated in the formulation of every hunting plan, and every time he could find loopholes and various clues to kill the prey in one fell swoop.
At first, Ye Rong thought that letting Xue Tong join the team was just to give Jiang Chen face. Unexpectedly, Xue Tong's ability became an unexpected gain for him.
Of course, in terms of absolute strength, Ye Rong's team, in addition to Ling Qianli, also has two personal guards who are half-step spiritual realm.
The other three people, including Xue Tong, are all at the peak of the True Qi Realm.
As for Ye Rong himself, his cultivation level is only at the peak of the True Qi Realm.
To discuss the absolute strength carefully, except for Ling Qianli who can stabilize Xue Tong, even if two personal guards of the half-step spiritual realm start a life-and-death hunt with Xue Tong in this confusing world, it is hard to say who will win in the end.
"Fourth Prince, this spiritual beast is seriously injured and has been trapped in this area by us. Ling Qianli has already gone in to search for it. I believe it cannot escape."
Ye Rong nodded: "This time, we must not miss. One spiritual beast is more valuable than killing a hundred ferocious beasts. This time the eldest prince and his team have invited many spiritual realm experts. I am worried that this autumn hunt will
, their results will far exceed our team."
There was still some envy in Ye Rong's tone. The eldest prince came from a good background, had a profound background, and had wide connections. He could easily attract powerful people in the spiritual realm, even disciples of the Baoshu Sect.
Although Ye Rong was able to get acquainted with the disciples of the Baoshu Sect, it was simply impossible to ask the disciples of the Baoshu Sect to work for him.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of poor foundation, insufficient background, and insufficient connections.
Ye Rong sighed in his heart, if Jiang Chen was not recruited by Sister Dan Fei this time, he, Ye Rong, would definitely hope to compete for the championship in this autumn hunt.
But now——
He could only do his best. Although there was news that the candidate for the crown prince would be selected in the first month of next year, Ye Rong did not believe that everything could be decided in one autumn hunt.
However, he cannot slack off. At the very least, he must show his positive attitude.
At this time, Xue Tong came over: "Fourth Prince, this valley is narrow on all sides, and the entrance and exit are very narrow. This place is a bit evil."
"Xue Tong, what are you worried about?" Ye Rong's biggest advantage is that he is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates and can easily grasp their intentions.
"My subordinates are worried that this spiritual beast may have been manipulated by someone and deliberately led us here. Otherwise, how could we have such good luck and meet an injured spiritual beast? Moreover, the wilderness outside is so wide, why is it?
Are you going to flee into this dark valley with no way out?"
"Do you think someone is deliberately manipulating it?"
"Yes, my subordinates just checked the terrain. This valley has only one entrance and one exit. Just like a bag, we got in directly." Although Xue Tong is not Ye Rong's subordinate, since he is in the same team
, he is still willing to speak his mind.
Ye Rong pondered for a moment. After spending the past few days together, he actually had no doubts about Ye Rong's judgment and was even a little superstitious.
In terms of strength, Ling Qianli and the other guys in the spiritual realm are naturally better than Xue Tong. But in terms of insight, judgment and analytical ability, Xue Tong is definitely one of the best.
"The fourth prince, a spiritual beast, cannot be hunted, and there is still a chance later. However, our team cannot afford to gamble. If we are surrounded by the terrain of this valley, we will never be able to get out. Moreover, if a fight breaks out here,
The outside world has absolutely no idea."
Xue Tong has made his words very clear.
Ye Rong's expression changed and he finally wavered: "Give me the order to give up hunting and leave this valley immediately."
After all, he was born in the imperial family. Ye Rong knew the importance of many things as soon as he thought about them.
Is the Autumn Hunting in the Lost Realm a intrigue between princes? On the surface, they are not allowed to fight each other, but the rules are dead and people are alive.
