"Reporting to a shitty official! Do you think you have a long life?"
"Stop looking! Run!"
"..."
Soon, when the sound of fierce fighting came from Prince Kang's palace, several surrounding streets and alleys also fell into chaos.
The people fled this place of trouble and chaos one after another. Officials were riding their horses from the end of the street.
Only three days after Lu Yuansong's death, Prince Kang's palace also encountered a "sneak attack" by assassins.
Anyone can guess that the two things must have been instigated by the same person, but they don't know who has such courage.
Or in other words, who will benefit from these two "family extermination cases"?
The eldest prince? The third prince?
There is no doubt that in the hearts of the people, the eldest prince Lu Yuanjin should be the one with the greatest suspicion.
But what everyone didn't know was that at this moment, Lu Yuanjin, who was on Longshou Mountain, was actually also extremely shocked.
"What?!!"
Lu Yuanjin, who was wearing a white robe, stood up from behind his desk with a "squeak". His face was filled with anger.
Compared with Lu Yuansong, he gives people a more calm impression.
But even so, Lu Yuanjin still couldn't suppress the irritability in his heart at this time.
"It must be Wei Changtian!"
"It must be Wei Changtian!!"
Pacing back and forth with a pale face, Lu Yuanjin kept repeating the same sentence.
Although in terms of superficial interests, the deaths of Lu Yuansong and Lu Xiangshan should be a good thing for him.
But Lu Yuanjin is not such a short-sighted person, and has actually guessed what Wei Changtian's true intention is.
And this also means that the latter will kill him sooner or later...
Facing Wei Changtian, Lu Yuanjin was actually not afraid if the two sides were to open up a posture and "make an appointment to fight".
But the problem is that Wei Changtian does not confront him "openly and openly", but always waits for opportunities in the dark.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. This is a very dangerous thing.
If the enemy's strength is extremely terrifying, the situation will undoubtedly be more difficult.
After all, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.
And as long as Wei Changtian seizes a chance, what awaits him will be...
His fingers trembled suddenly, and Lu Yuanjin stopped thinking.
At this moment, the fear in his heart had exceeded the anger, and it also gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.
He knew that Wei Changtian would never let him go, and he would never let Da Hui go.
Therefore, for me, the best choice now may be to escape immediately.
Before Wei Changtian could kill him, he gave up the fight for the throne and fled from Dahui, as far away as possible.
At least this way I can save a life...
"well......"
Slowly closing his eyes, Lu Yuanjin sighed heavily.
Of course, he was not willing to run away in despair, handing over the great inheritance of Wandai to Wei Changtian.
But if you don't run away, will you continue to be frightened?
If this is the case, what will happen even if you sit on the Dragon Throne?
Lu Yuanjin's brain was getting more and more confused, and he didn't know how to break the situation after much thought.
At this moment, a guard opened the door and came in to report:
"Your Highness, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you!"
"not see!"
Lu Yuanjin waved his hand impatiently, his tone very anxious.
But the guard did not obey the order and leave. Instead, he lowered his head and added in a low voice:
"Your Highness, everyone here is of extremely high level, and there are three second-grade masters."
"Um?"
After a pause, Lu Yuanjin stopped, turned his head and frowned and asked, "What is the name of the leader?"
"Back to Your Highness, the visitor called me Chu Xianping."
"Chu Xianping?!"
His eyes widened suddenly. Of course Lu Yuanjin had heard of Chu Xianping's name. It could even be said to be "like thunder piercing his ears".
But he didn't understand why Chu Xianping was in Yongding City, let alone why he came to find him.
"Go and invite him in."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuanjin seemed to understand something. He suddenly arranged his clothes and sat back behind the desk again.
"Remember to be polite."
"..."
...
"Young Master Chu, I have long admired your great name!"
Soon, Lu Yuanjin met Chu Xianping who came directly from Zhuwu to Longshou Mountain.
Looking at Lu Yuanjin with a smile on his face, Chu Xianping didn't say a word of nonsense, not even the most basic politeness. The first thing he said when he came up was——
"Your Highness, aren't you ready to escape?"
"..."
The expression suddenly froze on his face, and Lu Yuanjin's expression changed several times, then returned to normal after a few breaths.
He stared at Chu Xianping, took a deep breath and asked:
"Mr. Chu, are you here to help me?"
"You can understand it that way."
He found a chair and sat down, and Chu Xianping said slowly:
"Your Highness, I know you must have many questions to ask me, so I will get straight to the point."
"Wei Changtian wanted to support Gongsun Yan in proclaiming himself emperor. For this reason, he had already killed the second prince Lu Yuansong. King Kang will probably not be able to escape today either."
"Then it will be your turn sooner or later."
"But I can protect you from death and even succeed in taking the throne."
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I believe that the third prince will definitely dream of this opportunity."
"Your Highness, I won't give you too much time to think about it."
"Please give me an answer immediately whether you agree or not."
After Chu Xianping said the last words, he no longer looked at Lu Yuanjin, but lowered his eyes and kept tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers, as if counting the time for the latter to think.
Lu Yuanjin looked at him blankly, with countless questions filling his mind.
Although there were many questions, he finally just asked one question in a low voice.
"Mr. Chu, if I promise you, what do you want?"
"Your Highness should know better."
Chu Xianping glanced at Lu Yuanjin and replied coldly: "Whatever Gongsunyan paid, you will pay."
"..."
Whatever Gongsunyan paid, you will pay.
The meaning of Chu Xianping's words could not be clearer, that is, he wanted Lu Yuanjin to work for him in the future.
And if Lu Yuanjin really agrees to this condition, it will undoubtedly mean that the battle for the throne will become a contest between Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping.
Now it has only been a month since the two parted ways, and they have turned from friends to enemies at this moment.
Wei Changtian will probably have a complicated mood after knowing this...
"Okay! I agree!"
On the other side, after a short period of thinking, Lu Yuanjin finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
After all, no matter what, only by doing this can you save your own life and save Dahui.
He had no choice.
"Mr. Chu, from today on, I and the people under me are willing to listen to your orders!"
"good."
Standing up slowly, Chu Xianping said word by word: "Then please, Your Highness, come out of the palace to a place with me now."
"Leaving the palace? Where to go?"
Lu Yuanjin was stunned and asked subconsciously.
But Chu Xianping had already turned around and walked several steps away, and only that calm voice came over.
