The third prince sighed and said helplessly: "The most important thing is, even if we know that this matter may happen, there is no way to solve it in advance, because we can't spare manpower now. After all,
All my brothers are eyeing me."
Liu Xing knew that it was better not to say too much at this time, so he just nodded his head honestly, and then he looked at his nose, nose, and heart in a daze.
As for Yu Lei, he stood up to share the worries of the third prince, "Your Highness, we still have a chance to persuade Huang Shi not to side with Guo Er, which means admitting that there is no problem with Huang Shi merging with Fei Humen! Because in the end, no matter what Huang Shi does,
It's for two words - fame, and masters like Huang Shi also value their reputation very much, so as long as we give him a chance to borrow the money, Huang Shi won't betray us!
Especially taking refuge in the former prince."
"What kind of former prince is there now?"
The third prince smiled, shook his head and said: "As far as I know, the former prince actually disappeared many years ago, and he was probably helped by his subordinates to show his dignity. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
It can be concluded that the former prince has no chance to make a comeback, so many people have begun to find another way out; therefore at this time, the former prince is already a little abnormal, feeling that his subordinates want to harm him, and the result is like this
The situation became more and more serious, and he even personally killed several of the people who were most loyal to him, so the former prince suddenly drove away to the west one night."
"Although the exact news I got is that the former prince died due to anger, most people think that someone helped him to look decent. After all, as long as he is smart, he will not stay in a shabby place that can no longer plug the hole.
On the ship, there are now many famous martial arts masters who were actually the subordinates of the former prince. Of course, these people are just acquaintances with the former prince. They have received some favors in the past, so they will follow the former prince.
But now that the trees have fallen and the hozens have dispersed, they have returned to the bright side, and my father and we do not intend to pursue them, after all, they have not done much to regret us."
"But some people can't look back, so even if the former prince is gone, they still have to do things in the name of the former prince, because if they don't do this, they will just be a group of stragglers, and they can easily be defeated by us one by one;
But because of this, these people don't really want to cooperate, so they still work on their own in peacetime and can't make any waves. Therefore, we haven't paid too much attention to them in recent years. After all, these people have great influence on
It’s no longer a threat to us, and I know some people want to be recruited!”
Recruitment?
When Liu Xing heard these two words, he thought of two other words.
But then again, according to "Liu Peng's" memory, there is really such a "Liangshan Bo" in this martial arts module - Shanhu City!
The mountain lake in Mountain Lake City, as its name suggests, is a very large lake with a mountain in the center, and Mountain Lake City is located on this mountain. It can also be said to be a large walled city built on the mountain.
So many years ago, Shanhu City was actually a Shanhu Village, occupied by a group of bandits and water bandits. It was also a dangerous place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. After all, you not only had to cross the water to land, but you also had to attack a well-prepared mountain village right away.
, the difficulty can be imagined! The most important thing is that the area of this lake is comparable to an inland sea. At the same time, the lake mountain is not a small hillside, but a serious mountain, so the gangsters in Shanhu Village
Seeing that the situation was not going well, they simply broke into pieces and disappeared into the mountain lake, waiting until the wind had passed before gathering up people and continuing to do "business".
As a result, Shanhu Village existed for hundreds of years, until the new Dragon Emperor's kindness and power were combined to solve this problem.
To put it simply, the new Dragon Emperor first sent a few experts to sneak into Shanhu Village, and solved some of the most dishonest talkers in Shanhu Village, and then successfully completed the recruitment and turned Shanhu Village into
Shanhu City was established, and now Shanhu City is mainly responsible for training the navy. After all, the Xinlong Empire has a dense river network, and the importance of the navy is self-evident.
However, what surprised Liu Xing was that the new Dragon Emperor was directly responsible for all the navy troops, so the third prince only had some navy troops similar to the yamen.
Of course, in addition to Shanhu Village, many cottages were recruited back then. In addition, cities with city lords like Boyang City were basically recruited, but in the past twenty years,
Here, there is no news related to "recruitment".
"If you can stand upright in the sun, who is willing to hide in a dark corner like a mouse? Especially those who are capable, who could have lived a decent life, but ended up falling because of the former prince.
You have to hide; so some people want to take the road of being recruited. After all, you can't just run up to me and kneel down and beg me to accept you, right? It would be disrespectful for everyone to do this.
"
The third prince took a sip of tea and continued: "You may not know that six years ago, someone went to seek refuge with my eighth brother, and this man was the son of the former crown prince's companion. His father said that he was the son of the former prince.
The prince's companion was, rather, the most considerate servant and staff of the former prince, so the relationship between the two could be said to be very good. As for the news that the former prince was no longer around, it was actually this person who brought it; it turned out that this person
What is the fate? Naturally, after all the information was extracted, my eighth brother was sent to the father, and then pushed out and cut in two. After all, his current identity is still a remnant of the previous dynasty!"
"So, Your Highness, what you are saying is that if Guo Er is really a remnant of the previous dynasty, then they want to take this opportunity to ask for help, so that they can get a new identity and then walk to the stage in a legitimate manner?" Yu
Lei said with his eyes widened.
"That's right, if they are recruited, their identities will change drastically. No matter how much we think about settling the scores in the future, we can't do it directly. After all, they are already guests you invited back."
The third prince's expression became serious, "If this is the case, it would be a good thing for us, because we can also recruit these people! First of all, their strength must be good. After all, they can hide until this time, and then
After all, we have to have two brushes, so they can also provide us with a lot of help; secondly, the degree of loyalty of these people to the previous prince needs to be considered, because basically all the older generations have left.
Eight, so now there are only a group of middle-aged people similar to me left in charge of the overall situation, and they will not be too loyal to the former prince."
"But the current problem is that these guys may want to be recruited by my brothers. After all, my current situation is indeed a bit bad. If you follow me, you may die before you start... To be honest, I am now
I have no confidence in my future at all, because the brothers around me regard me as a thorn in their side, so they should have a tacit understanding to attack me first. Then my situation will be very passive, and my final destination will be
The only possibility is this Luohua Castle."
"This is also the reason why I appear in Luohua Castle now, because I want to see what my residence will look like for the rest of my life, and whether I need to prepare anything else, so I have sent people to secretly protect my children.
If the situation is not good, bring them here to hide. Therefore, Yu Lei, you have to be prepared to bring A Ying here at any time; so I think people like Guo Er are preparing to take refuge with my brother. This is more consistent.
Their interests, unless these guys want to take a gamble, or do nothing to add icing on the cake, they have to take a gamble and provide help in the snow."
Liu Xing very much agrees with the third prince's idea, because judging from the current situation, the third prince's winning rate is undoubtedly the lowest, because he is the most special among the nine brothers, and he is also the only one who may not have a blood relationship with the new Dragon Emperor.
He is a prince, so it is normal for him to be attacked by a group of people.
Therefore, if Guo Er and others want to be recruited, they will definitely not accept the third prince's offer, unless they really want to make a big bet - if they win, they will be the merits of the dragon, if they lose, they will...
.etc!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said immediately: "Your Highness the Third Prince, Guo Er and others might really choose to join you! Because I have heard this sentence before - since you are already at the bottom, then you only need to climb up.
It’s progress! Even if you fall halfway up, it’s just a matter of dust; so for Guo Er and others, they can maximize their benefits by choosing to rely on you! Because the benefits of providing help in times of need are self-evident.
The son can transform from a remnant of the previous dynasty to a minister of the Dragon, and even if they fail, they will go back to waiting for new opportunities in the dark. Anyway, in today's chaos, the opportunities they want are countless.
"
"After all, these guys are rootless duckweeds to put it bluntly. Although they can only drift with the tide, they can still move freely. Therefore, if the plan to provide help in times of trouble fails, the worst thing is to lurk in the dark again and find a way to join other princes.
Anyway, this does not cost them much; and Third Prince, you can also think about it now. If Guo Er and others come forward to join you, you will definitely entrust them with important responsibilities, at least you will have to put them far away.
The positions of governor of Xicheng and Boyang City are handed over to them. In this way, they can be regarded as gaining a new identity. When the time comes, they can also increase their worth by surrendering to other princes."
At this time, Liu Xing heard the familiar sound of the dice falling to the ground. It seemed that he had indeed persuaded the third prince and wavered his mind.
So Liu Xing took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Judging from the current situation, the strength of Guo Er and others cannot be underestimated. Whether it is the third prince or the other princes, they should not be willing to see them join the opponent's side. After all, no one wants to
At this time, you see that the opponent's strength has been strengthened, so no matter who recruits Guo Er and others, you will not, or cannot, despise their original identities. After all, they are rootless duckweeds, and they can take refuge in anyone.
; But this is actually the key point of Guo Er and others, because no matter what they do, they are all trying to get rid of their original identity and exchange for a decent new identity, so we can make a fuss about this!"
"How to do it?" the third prince asked quickly.
"Your Highness, you should know about the tumbler, right? Today's Guo Er and others are actually a tumbler. They may fall to a certain party at any time. Of course, a certain party here must exert an appropriate force, and in order to make this force stronger
, then the roly-poly must learn to swing left and right, using the strength of one party to force the other party to exert stronger force, so that they can obtain more benefits; but at this time, there is actually a very powerful force that can
This roly-poly was knocked flat! So we can use this power to force Guo Er and others to stand on our side." Liu Xing said seriously.
The third prince thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "I see, A Peng, you are really a smart man! No matter what Guo Er and the others do, they want to get rid of their status as remnants of the previous dynasty, because this status will make them
We are in a situation where everyone can be punished! So as long as we take action in advance and make their identities public before they take refuge with my brother, then their situation will be very embarrassing, and my brother can only treat them
Take action! Otherwise, he will also be labeled as having evil intentions!"
"Yes, this is what Guo Er and the others don't want to see the most! After all, there is a saying that if a brother fights against a foreign enemy, he will regret it. So no matter how fierce the fight between your highness and your brothers is, when foreign enemies like Guo Er and others appear,
, we have to join forces to deal with them, because this matter cannot be fooled! After all, if your brother, Your Highness, recruits Guo Er and others, then even if he defeats us, he will eventually be criticized by other princes for this.
They criticized him with words and writings, and even attacked them in groups!"
"Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain."
The third prince nodded and said: "Except for my father, no one now dares to recruit the remnants of the previous dynasty who have revealed their identities, not to mention these guys have occupied the city! So as long as we confirm the identities of Guo Er and others,
I can use this to force them to work for me, otherwise they will have to continue to hide in the dark; Yu Lei, when you look back, pay attention to Guo Er's movements and try to catch him as soon as possible, so that we can have more room for maneuver.
!”
"Understood, I will live in Boyang City forever after I return. As long as Guo Er leaks something, I will definitely not let him go!"
