After successfully escaping and returning to Tianchen Residence, when Xiao Chen and his party returned to Tianchen Residence, as soon as they entered the door, Xiaoyue, who was wearing an emerald green dress, threw herself directly into Xiao Chen's arms.
"Brother, just be okay."
Although it was only a short night, Xiaoyue was worried. Seeing Xiao Chen return safely, the little girl's heart was completely relieved.
After patting Xiaoyue's back gently, Xiao Chen said with a smile, "How old are you to cry? Isn't that okay?"
After comforting Xiaoyue softly, Xiao Chen thanked everyone in Tianchenju. If everyone hadn't worked together last night, it would have been impossible for him to kill the fifth prince.
After thanking him, Xiao Chen took Chu Wuming to the courtyard where he lived. In the study, Xiaoyue obediently made tea for the two of them, and then took the initiative to get up and leave.
Xiaoyue was not stupid, on the contrary, she was very smart. She knew that Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming had something to say, so she consciously chose to leave.
After Xiaoyue left, only Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming were left in the entire study. Looking at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming said, "Brother Xiao Chen, now you can tell me where you want me to leave the imperial capital. Alright?"
Xiao Chen had said before that if Chu Wuming wanted to get the position of crown prince, he had to take the initiative to leave the imperial capital. At this time, facing Chu Wuming's inquiry, Xiao Chen did not hide it anymore.
First, Xiao Chen told Chu Wuming where he should go after leaving the imperial capital.
"Hulao Pass." Looking at Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen said lightly.
Hearing the words Hulao Pass, Chu Wuming was stunned for a moment, and then said with a puzzled look, "Brother Xiao asked me to go to Hulao Pass? That's the border, and it borders the Sirius Empire. There have been wars for years. Brother Xiao What do you want me to do there?"
I can't figure out why Xiao Chen would let him go to Hulao Pass. As we all know, there are three kingdoms and two sects in Danyang County where the Wuyue Empire is located. Among them, the Wuyue Empire, the Sirius Empire, and the Guangfeng Empire are not the same. It is called the Three Kingdoms, and Tianqi Sect and Qingyang Sect are also called two sects.
These five major forces completely control the lifeblood of the entire Danyang County, and among them, the three major empires have been fighting for years for various reasons, especially places like Hulao Pass, which are located at the junction of the two empires. , and it is the battlefield between the two countries.
It can be said that Hulao Pass is a place with no oil and water, only war. In Hulao Pass, war is the absolute main color, and Xiao Chen asked himself to go to Hulao Pass. Chu Wuming didn't understand Xiao Chen's intention at all.
Full of doubts, Xiao Chen smiled slightly when he saw this.
"Your Highness only saw endless wars in Hulao Pass, but let me ask Your Highness, besides wars, what else is there in Hulao Pass?"
"What else can there be besides war and chaos? This..." After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming thought secretly. However, after a while, Chu Wuming shook his head helplessly. In Hulao Pass, besides war and chaos, Chu Wuming I really can't think of anything else.
Seeing Chu Wuming shaking his head, Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Hulao Pass has been at war for many years. So, does your Highness know how many troops the empire has deployed to guard Hulao Pass?"
"I know that there are a total of four armies around Hulao Pass, with a total number of millions of people."
"Since His Highness knows this, I wonder if His Highness has ever heard of it. Since ancient times, in the struggle for power, only those with soldiers have the right to speak. Now, His Highness and the other three brothers only have three major camps such as Zhanlong Camp. The military power is only two thousand, but if His Highness can have the military power of millions of troops, what would His Highness think?"
As soon as Xiao Chen said these words, Chu Wuming was stunned immediately. He had already said it so clearly. Chu Wuming naturally understood what Xiao Chen meant.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, instead of staying in the imperial capital and fighting with Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang, it would be better to go directly to Hulao Pass and firmly control the millions of troops there.
With military power in hand, the weight of his words will naturally be greater. Think about it, with a million troops as his backing, who else can compete with Chu Wuming for the position of prince
After understanding what Xiao Chen meant, Chu Wuming fell into silence. Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not urge him. After a full while, Chu Wuming came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Chen and asked a little uncertainly.
"Brother Xiao Chen is right, but will my father let me take over the military power of Hulao Pass?"
Chu Wuming thought that Xiao Chen wanted Chu Mu to issue an order for him to take over the army in Hulao Pass. If this was the case, it was naturally impossible. How could Chu Mu let Chu Wuming control an army of millions so easily? Woolen cloth.
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, then replied.
"It is naturally impossible for His Majesty to issue an edict, and His Highness does not need to do so. The control I am talking about does not just mean controlling the command of these four armies, but to make all four armies belong to His Highness. His Majesty, let them only be loyal to His Highness. Of course, this is only the first step. Xiao Chen has other plans next, but everything still needs to go to Hulao Pass. The mountains are high there and the emperor is far away. Only when they reach Hulao Pass, Your Highness Only then can we truly let go.”
In the imperial capital, no matter how much Chu Wuming jumps around, he can't achieve anything big. Although the competition for the crown prince's position can be said to be intensifying now, to put it bluntly, everything is still under Chu Mu's control. As long as Chu Mu is still there , then no matter how Chu Wuming and the three of them fight for the crown prince position, in the end it will still be a matter of Chu Mu’s words.
Chu Wuming and the others did not see through this, but Xiao Chen knew it, so he proposed to let Chu Wuming leave the imperial capital. This seemed to be withdrawing from the fight for the crown prince position, but in fact it was retreating in order to advance.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming gradually showed a surprised expression. Xiao Chen not only wanted to lock down the command of the million-strong army in Hulao, but also wanted to completely take over the million-strong army. To put it bluntly, , Xiao Chen wanted to turn all those millions of troops into Chu Wuming's private army, loyal only to Chu Wuming.
Secretly plotting to seize military power is almost the same as rebellion. However, if he can really get the loyalty of that million-strong army, Chu Wuming has no doubt that the position of prince will be a matter of his words. Chu Mu couldn't refuse, because he had millions of troops watching him.
"Brother Xiao Chen, by doing this, do you want to help me gain the title of crown prince, or do you want me to ascend the throne directly?" Chu Wuming said blankly as he looked at Xiao Chen.
"Haha, your highness is worrying too much. What you want is your highness's business. Xiao Chen is only responsible for removing obstacles for your highness." After hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Chu Wuming was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I will go into the palace to meet with my father to discuss going to Hulao Pass."
