"Hmph, so what if I have the Duke of Chen assisting me?”
Yang Wuji had always wanted to get rid of this third brother of his.
He had always looked down on this bastard brother of his since he was young, but he seemed to be better than him in many aspects!
Moreover, through his investigation, he found out that although Yang Qingshu had been keeping a low profile all these years, he had secretly developed a lot of power.
He had secretly won over many experts.
This third brother had hidden himself even deeper than he had imagined!
"No matter how capable he is, when I truly take control of the power, he will still be able to kill me.”
As long as Yang Wuji truly inherited the throne, it would be the day he ruled the world!
At that time, it would be easy to deal with his third brother.
As for now, although Yang Wuji was the Crown Prince and had great power under him, the old Emperor was still in power, so he could not openly eliminate the other princes…
However, as long as he truly ascended the throne, no one could stop him!
" And that Lu Ping 'an, he's a little tricky…"
Thinking of this, Yang Wuji could not help but frown.
Lu Ping 'an's martial arts talent was too monstrous!
If he grew up, stepping into the Heaven Tier was virtually a certainty.
Such a martial arts mighty figure was very difficult to deal with!
If such a peerless genius was not killed in the cradle in advance, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Yet, the three Tongxuan realm assassins did not even cause a ripple when they went to assassinate him!
It could be seen that the strength of King Wunan's Mansion was unfathomable.
It was not easy to send someone to assassinate Lu Ping 'an…
"It seems that we have to start from other aspects. First, we have to gradually disintegrate the forces of King Wu Nan's Mansion, or find an opportunity to lure Lu Ping 'an out!”
Yang Wuji's eyes flickered with a cold light.
……
Great Gan Empire.
Qingyun City, Qingzhou.
Inside King Jing's mansion, in an elegant courtyard.
A refined young man with a jade-like face was playing chess with a white-haired old man.
"Your highness, your chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite. This old master was prepared to be unable to fight you.”
The old man stroked his beard and praised.
He had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage in this game of chess. If this continued, he would only lose the entire game.
The scholarly young man opposite him was none other than King Jing, Yang Qingshu!
"Elder Zhou, you're too modest."
Yang Qingshu smiled gently.
"A loss is a loss. There's no such thing as modesty.”
The old man shook his head and smiled.
"It's not just your chess skills. I can see that your highness 'cultivation has also improved a lot.”
The old man suddenly said with a burning gaze.
The surrounding subordinates could not help but reveal a hint of surprise and joy.
They all knew that this old man's background was not simple!
The old man's name was Zhou De Wei.
He was a famous martial arts magnate of the older generation who had retired from the martial world a few years ago.
When he retired back then, he was already at the Myriad Phenomenon Realm!
He was definitely an old senior at the level of a grand elder of a large faction.
He didn't know what method Yang Qingshu had used to invite this senior expert to come out of the mountain to assist him.
With Zhou Dewei's cultivation, seniority, and judgment, he naturally would not praise a person's martial attainments for no reason.
It was clear that Yang Qingshu's talent in martial arts was astonishing. Even a senior at the level of the Myriad Manifestation Realm could not help but praise him.
At this moment, a subordinate came to report what had happened in Blood Rain Hall.
Yang Qingshu listened quietly, and a hint of surprise gradually appeared on his face.
"It seems that King Wu Nan is not willing to be slowly devoured!”
" They've also secretly developed quite a number of forces…"
"However, according to my investigation, there doesn't seem to be such a force in King Wu Nan's Mansion. It's as if it appeared out of thin air!”
Thinking of this, Yang Qingshu's eyes flashed with doubt.
However, apart from King Wu Nan, he could not think of anyone else who had the ability to nurture so many experts!
" No matter what, such a strong response undoubtedly proves the attitude of King Wu Nan's Mansion…"
"I'm sure King Wu Nan can guess who placed the bounty in the Blood Rain Building!”
"This king needs to find an opportunity to interact with him.”
"But our identities are too sensitive, so it's not good to meet him directly…"
Yang Qingshu's eyes flashed as he thought of a suitable solution.
The Crown Prince's power was too strong now. Even he, who had secretly developed for so many years, did not dare to act rashly.
However, if he could borrow King Wu Nan's power to disintegrate some of the Crown Prince's forces, that would be the best!
If he could obtain King Wu Nan's full support, Yang Qingshu would no longer need to be so restrained!
It was time to show his sharp claws…
However, he still needed to know King Wu Nan's attitude before he could do anything.
We can't be too hasty.
……
On the other side.
Yongle Mansion.
The Ninth Princess, Yang Xinyue, also learned about what happened in the Blood Rain Hall.
"The strength of King Wunan's Mansion is indeed not to be underestimated!”
" Right now, the Crown Prince's power is the greatest. He has the support of the Prime Minister, King Tongyou, and a group of nobles. His power is simply overwhelming…"
The power of the Crown Prince's faction was undoubtedly the most terrifying.
In the royal court, there were many nobles and ministers who supported him.
His subordinates were also experts like the clouds!
Even if all the princes were to join forces, they would not be able to compare to the power they had on the surface.
"King Jing is also unfathomable. It seems that Duke Chen is secretly supporting him.”
"It seems that only bengong can't do it alone…"
In fact, Yang Xinyue did have supporters.
Her uncle was a country's brother-in-law with the title of Marquis Changping, and he had three cities of fief.
Unfortunately, he did not have much say in the court.
Although Yang Xinyue was a direct descendant of the royal family, she was still a woman!
Who would want to support a princess in the fight for the throne?
Not many people would have guessed that Princess Yongle had such ambitions!
However, this was also one of her advantages.
After all, the Crown Prince and the others would not think of dealing with her…
"It would be great if I could win the support of King Wu Nan.”
"Judging from the talent that Lu Ping 'an has displayed, he will undoubtedly be the successor of King Wu Nan's Mansion!”
"With our past friendship, perhaps we can use him as a breakthrough point…"
Thinking of this, Yang Xinyue glanced at Lan Yan and immediately made a decision.
"Lan Yan, come with me to the Wunan King Mansion!”
……
At the same time.
In King Wunan's Mansion.
Lu Litian was in the study, discussing some matters with the old butler, Liu Songtao.
"Butler Liu, you said that the mysterious force might have come from Ping 'an?”
Lu Litian was also surprised by what happened in the Blood Rain Hall!
The outside world believed that the group of mysterious experts who had suddenly appeared was secretly nurtured by King Wu Nan.
But he knew very well that it had nothing to do with him!
Even he himself was extremely curious as to where that mysterious force had come from!
According to Liu Songtao's guess, it might have something to do with Lu Ping 'an. Lu Litian was even more incredulous.
All these years, this youngest son of his had always been 'crazy.'
Even though it was just an act, there was no time to develop his power, right?
Liu Songtao explained,
"Your Highness, this old servant's guess has some basis…"
"Recently, the Third Prince has been acting mysteriously. It seems that he has come into contact with a mysterious expert!”
"That day, this old servant sensed that aura. Although it was very obscure, it was also shockingly powerful!”
"His true strength is probably not inferior to this old servant…"
Lu Litian was surprised to hear that."
"Oh? There's actually such a thing?"
"That kid, Pingan…hid it so well?”
As Lu Litian spoke, a complicated look appeared in his eyes!
There was doubt, shock, and joy!
This youngest son had given him too many shocks.
But no matter what, this was definitely a good thing for King Wu Nan's Mansion!
"Since Ping An doesn't want to reveal it for the time being, then Butler Liu, don't investigate it.”
"As for how the outside world guesses, let them be. We'll pretend not to know and let those enemies maintain their reverence!”
Lu Litian smiled faintly.
