"Why does General Long Guangzheng support the fourth prince?"
Ye Chen asked again.
Since the other party is willing to answer, he must ask clearly.
The more information you know, the better it is for you.
"who are you?"
An assassin said in surprise: "The general supports the fourth prince. Many people know this, but you don't know?"
"You talk too much!"
While speaking, Ye Chen waved his hand casually, and there was a sharp "chi" sound. The quasi-imperial assassin who asked the question had no time to even make a defensive or evasive action, and his throat was pierced by a sharp cold light.
.
"puff!"
After picking up a cloud of blood, he fell straight down from the top of the eaves.
"boom!"
The sound of the landing was not loud, but in the ears of the other two Quasi-Emperor Realm assassins, it was like thunder on the ground, enough to shatter their hearts.
That is a quasi-imperial warrior!
Looking at the entire imperial capital, although it is not a top-notch existence, it can still sweep away an invincible opponent.
However, they were completely helpless in front of this mysterious person behind them.
And their cultivation level is only comparable to that of the person who just died tragically.
If the other party intends to kill them, wouldn't they be powerless to fight back?
"You, what do you want?"
Witnessing the tragic death of his companion in the blink of an eye, one of the quasi-imperial assassins was so frightened that his voice began to tremble.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person!"
Ye Chen comforted the other party first, and then asked: "As long as you answer my questions honestly, you will have a chance to save your lives. Do you understand?"
"Ming, understand!"
The two assassins nodded repeatedly.
"Then continue to answer my question. Why does General Long Guangzheng support the fourth prince Nangong Yuan?"
Ye Chen continued to ask.
"Because General Long Guangzheng is the father-in-law of the fourth prince Nangong Yuan!"
One of the assassins answered without thinking.
"I see!"
Ye Chen was instantly relieved.
No wonder General Long Guangzheng chose to support the fourth prince Nangong Yuan.
It turns out that Long Guangzheng's daughter has been captured by the fourth prince Nangong Yuan.
Since he has this relationship, Long Guangzheng's choice is understandable.
"In addition to the fourth prince Nangong Yuan, which princes and princesses are more competitive now?"
Ye Chen asked again.
"have!"
The assassin added: "The eldest prince Nangong Lie, he is the first suitable successor to the throne, so naturally he has the highest voice!"
"In addition, the third prince Nangong Xiao is supported by the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu, and he also has a certain degree of competitiveness!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen wondered: "How can the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu rely on her?"
The battle for the throne is all about the power in one's hands.
If you have no power and no one to support you, no matter how strong your personal ability is, you will not be competitive.
This is also the reason why the young prince Nangong Qin did not hesitate to go to the Western Regions to seek refuge with the second prince Nangong Kaige.
But in his impression, apart from being relatively older, the eldest princess is just a female after all. How can she occupy a place for the third prince Nangong Xiao?
"Because the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu is the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister Wen Yiwen!"
The assassin had something to say.
"Is there still such a relationship?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed.
I still know too little about the relationships between the various figures in the imperial capital.
The relationship between the various forces in the imperial capital is inherently complicated.
In order to clarify the subtle relationships between various forces, we need to start from all aspects.
For example, the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu, in his opinion, would not have anything to rely on originally, but just because she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she could rely on the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Office was the head of the Yong'an Empire's civil servants.
Before the death of Emperor Qingwu, he once held the power of the empire.
One can imagine how much the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu relies on.
Therefore, no matter how miserable the third prince Nangong Xiao is, as long as he has the support of the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu, he will indeed have extremely high competitiveness.
"This fellow Taoist, if you have something to say, please tell me!"
Seeing Ye Chen deep in thought, one of the assassins said cautiously: "This is the imperial capital. Even if we are fighting each other, we should not make the scene too big, otherwise it will be no good to anyone, what do you think?"
"Indeed!"
Ye Chen nodded with deep understanding.
"Then let's just give it a try!"
The assassin was overjoyed and continued to persuade: "Whether you belong to the third prince or the eldest prince, we are all just pawns to be used by others. There is no need to kill each other to the death for the sake of their struggle for the throne!"
The assassin's voice fell, and the other assassin hurriedly echoed: "That's right, no matter who ascends to the throne of God in the end, we will all become outcasts, why bother?"
"It does make some sense!"
Ye Chen nodded again, "Then do you know who I am working for?"
"This... please let me know, fellow Taoist!"
The tone of the two assassins was very assassin-like.
And it seems that they heard that Ye Chen was not very hostile, so they finally turned around cautiously.
However, when they saw what Ye Chen was wearing, the doubts in their eyes became even more intense.
What appeared in front of them turned out to be a mysterious warrior wearing a uniform and a ferocious mask on his face.
"As for who I work for, it's naturally impossible to tell you, but..."
Ye Chen changed the topic and said: "I do agree with what you just said. We are all just pawns in this battle for the throne. There is no need to kill you to death!"
"Then are you willing to let us go?"
One of the assassins asked cautiously.
"I can let you go, but you must take this poison!"
While speaking, Ye Chen reached out and touched the space bracelet.
"Woo!"
A dim light appeared, and two pills exuding green aura appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The two quasi-imperial assassins looked at each other, seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in an instant, and suddenly withdrew and fled into the distance.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The speed was so fast that he retreated hundreds of feet away in an instant.
"How dare you lie to me?"
Ye Chen was furious and immediately chased after him.
"Hey, you shouldn't have given me a chance to breathe just now!"
While retreating into the distance, a quasi-emperor assassin sneered triumphantly: "The only thing to blame is that you were too careless and believed our lies!"
Another assassin echoed: "You go back and tell the third prince and the eldest princess that this account will be settled by the fourth prince and the general sooner or later!"
"stop!"
Ye Chen continued to chase the other party.
However, he did not catch up.
The opponent's speed was too fast, but in just a few breaths, he completely disappeared from his sight.
He did not continue to catch up.
However, a sly smile appeared in his eyes.
With his speed, if he really wants to save the opponent's life, it's just a matter of chance.
The reason why he deliberately let the other party go was just to confuse right and wrong and make the situation even more confusing.
After all, these two people just said that he should go back and tell the third prince and the eldest princess.
That proves that not only does the other party not know his origin, but he mistakenly thinks that he is the one belonging to the eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu and the third prince Nangong Xiao.
This is good!
As long as he continues to add fuel to the fire and let the opponent bite the dog, he can secretly reap the benefits.
