"The Crown Prince's filial piety is naturally commendable, but the Crown Prince should also know what the Southern Territory King thinks about this war. Now that the war has come to an end, the Great Xia Dynasty is almost certain to lose. All of this is the Crown Prince's credit. , Could it be that the prince really intends to give the throne he has obtained to your pedantic father to sit on it for ten or twenty years?" The man in black robe looked at Shan Ling's clenched fists, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"So what, he is my son's biological father, the father who gave birth to me and raised me!" Shan Ling's eyes were filled with determination. People from the Southern Territory are simple in nature.
Although, he had done several wrong things in order to obtain the position of prince.
But…
In Shan Ling's heart, the battle between the emperor and the throne has been cruel since ancient times. So, what's wrong with him designing to win the throne
Moreover, in his eyes, his two eldest brothers had never had any great ambitions except guarding this territory pedantically and being in the company of ferocious beasts and mountains and forests every day.
The Southern Territory is a natural fortress.
But it is also a naturally dangerous place. There is nothing wrong with protecting the environment and the people, but how can we thrive as a country for generations
Strong, only by becoming stronger can we better guard the territory of the Southern Territory.
For this ideal, Shan Ling seized the throne of the Crown Prince and ushered in a prosperous age in the Southern Territory. Under his management, the Southern Territory's military strength became stronger and stronger day by day.
This is what we are doing now.
But let him kill his father!
This is absolutely impossible.
Shi's father's crime was equal to that of an animal.
No matter how loyal his subordinates are, they cannot help him do this. To do this, he can only do it himself.
Moreover, once exposed, there will be no place for him in the entire Southern Region.
"Haha... The Crown Prince is now talking about family ties? So, more than ten years ago, when you planned to oust your eldest brother Shanjia from the position of Crown Prince, did you ever think about family ties? A few years ago, you brought up your second son When my brother was forced out of the Southern Territory, did he ever think about his family ties?" The man in black robe said with a chuckle.
"What are you talking about? My eldest brother Shanjia's mistakes are unforgivable. What does this have to do with my son? Moreover, Shanjia escaped from the Southern Territory on his own, and he took him away..." Shan Ling's expression changed. A trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about your eldest brother Shanjia taking away the jade bamboo flute, the most precious treasure from your southern region?" After the man in black robe finished speaking, he turned his hand, and an emerald green bamboo flute appeared in his hand. .
"This... you guys, how did you..." Shan Ling's eyes widened at this moment. Of course he recognized that this was an item belonging to his eldest brother Shan Jia.
Jade bamboo flute.
One of the greatest treasures in the Southern Region.
It is an inherited token of every generation of princes in the Southern Territory. The sound of the flute can drive ferocious beasts into the army. However, since Shanjia was driven out of the Southern Territory due to crimes more than ten years ago, this emerald bamboo flute disappeared together with Shanjia.
"More than ten years ago, when the prince was not over 20 years old, he was able to think of this plan to kill two birds with one stone. It is indeed admirable! Hmm... what is this plan? Oh, by the way... first design the drunken mountain to kill two birds with one stone. Jia pushed your father's favorite woman into the **, then deceived your second brother to catch her in adultery. He also calculated the deep feelings between your second brother and your eldest brother, which he dared not say, and then revealed it unintentionally. Let Shanjia Wuyan establish himself in the Southern Territory, escape from the Holy Mountain City overnight, and let your second brother break his trust with your father, the Crown Prince. You are really not afraid that your biological father will take your position as the Crown Prince after he finds out about this. Take it off?" The man in black robe gently waved the jade bamboo flute in his hand and told a dusty story.
"Impossible. All the chiefs are loyal to me now. His king of the Southern Territory has long been an empty shell. My crown prince's position is as stable as a mountain. Moreover, I will make him the emperor, and all the battles on the battlefield will be borne by this crown prince. , he just needs to enjoy peace of mind and wait a hundred years before passing the throne to this prince! He...what else is he dissatisfied with? Can a woman, can a woman compare with the eternal throne?" Shan Ling's tone changed again Gotta get excited.
"Eternal throne? Do you really think your father wants this eternal throne? If my guess is correct, your father is currently summoning the Minister of Rites of Daxia in the palace, and is still discussing specific matters of peace talks. !" The man in black robe smiled again, but there was obviously a hint of coldness in his smile.
Shan Ling's excited expression froze slightly, and he said no more.
In fact, there was no need for the man in black robe to remind him. The Minister of Rites of Daxia knew about this matter from the moment he walked into the Holy Mountain City.
But, so what
Peace talks!
Without Shan Ling's nod, how could the battle between Southern Territory and Daxia be reconciled
"Your Majesty, our clan's 50,000 demon soldiers have now arrived at the city. Your 20,000 royal city army has also been defeated. Half of the Holy Mountain City is already under our control. If you continue to persist, you will only lose your 20,000 royal city army." Turning into bones, when the time comes... it will hurt the harmony a little, right?" Seeing Shan Ling's silence, the man in black robe persuaded him again.
"Have you hurt the peace? You demons have betrayed your trust and are now negotiating peace with me?" Of course Shan Ling knew the situation outside, and the 20,000 royal city troops would not be able to hold on for long.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Our Demon Clan has always been very particular about trust. However, the Emperor of our clan is really worried about letting your father continue to rule the Southern Territory. This move... is only for the sake of His Majesty." The man in black robe He said calmly.
"Hahaha... 50,000 demon soldiers attacked our Holy Mountain City at night, and now, you actually say it's for the sake of my son?" Shan Ling laughed angrily.
"Aren't you afraid that the Crown Prince will not agree? In fact, it is very simple. As long as the Crown Prince can personally kill the King of the Southern Territory, the 50,000 demon soldiers of our demon tribe will immediately withdraw from the Holy Mountain City. From then on, you will be the emperor of the Southern Territory, and I, the Demon Tribe, will The tribe and the Southern Territory will also enter into an eternal alliance agreement, what does the Crown Prince think?" The man in black robe explained with a sincere face.
"Nonsense, do you really think that I am a fool? If you kill the King of the Southern Territory, I will be threatened by your demon clan for the rest of your life. If you want to be the emperor of the Southern Territory... Hahaha, if you want to be the emperor, it will also belong to your demon clan. The Puppet Emperor, right?" Shan Ling laughed, very loudly.
"I don't understand what the Crown Prince means. What does it mean to be a puppet emperor? The hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern region are still under the control of the Crown Prince. We, the demon clan, do not interfere in it. Moreover, I remember that the Crown Prince and I Our demon clan also agreed to make an eternal alliance with our demon clan during the negotiation. If the Crown Prince has no intention of using our demon clan, why is he afraid of being threatened by our clan?" The man in black robe shook his head, It means it is difficult to understand.
Shan Ling's lips clenched at this moment.
Of course he was using the demons, but how could he say this
"Do you really think that your 50,000 demonic soldiers can threaten my prince? Yes, the chiefs of the six tribes are now in the Holy Mountain City. However, you are so sure that my prince will have no way out. "?" Shan Ling finally raised his head again after being silent for a quarter of an hour.
"The Southern Territory is vast, but the number of people is very small. Excluding the ordinary Southern Territory people, the total military strength of the Southern Territory should be around 450,000, of which 30,000 are stationed in major fortresses for a long time. Four Among the large tribes, each tribe has deployed a total of 350,000 troops. Adding 20,000 royal city troops, this is 370,000. If my guess is correct, the retreat mentioned by the prince should be Princess Shan Yu is stationed on the east side of the Holy Mountain City with 80,000 elites from the Southern Region, right?" When the man in black robe heard this, his eyes flashed with light.
"You... have long heard that the young master of the demon clan can calculate all the secrets. You didn't expect that my prince's future was already in the control of your demon clan. But, so what? My prince has already sent out military orders, and 80,000 elites have returned to the saint. To rescue the mountain city, as long as this prince lasts for another moment and a half, 80,000 elite troops will surely arrive. When the time comes, we should cooperate inside and outside. Even if you have 50,000 magic soldiers, you will not be able to get it, right? And don’t forget, this is the Southern Territory. , although the Han Yuan Tribe is now under the control of Daxia, how long can Daxia’s tens of thousands of remnant soldiers hold out? When my 320,000-strong army defeats the Han Yuan Tribe in one fell swoop and points its finger at the Holy Mountain City, I will think Let’s see how many of your 50,000 demonic soldiers can return?”
"Hahaha..." When the man in black robe heard this, he also laughed. He laughed very wildly and openly, and it felt like he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "You also know that I, the young master of the demon clan, can count. Do you know all the secrets of heaven? Hahaha... Your Majesty, since you know that I, the young master of the demon clan, can calculate all the secrets of heaven, and also know that we have seen through all your trump cards, why can you still be so naive?"
"Naive? You... what other conspiracy do you have!" When Shan Ling heard this, his whole expression finally changed completely.
"Your Majesty, if I were you, I should obediently go to the palace now, hang the head of the Minister of Rites on the city wall, and then, with the common people of the Southern Territory in mind, kill your pedantic father. Kill him with one sword, and finally, choose a good and auspicious day to ascend to the throne of the eternal emperor. I wonder if the prince thinks what I said is right?" After the man in black robe finished speaking, he also found a seat and sat down, with a look on his face. Waiting patiently.
Shan Ling's face was very gloomy. He squeezed his palms tightly, then loosened them, loosened them, and immediately tightened them again. Blood was already flowing from his lips.
he does not know…
This time, he really didn't know what other plans the demons had.
"Sister...Sister, you are my brother's last hope. You...you must not let anything happen to you!" Shan Ling looked outside the city, listening to the sound of fighting in his ears, and his heart was almost bleeding.
Mountain Ling.
A man who will do whatever it takes to become the heir to the throne.
However, it is such a person who completely pins the brotherhood in his heart on one person, and that person is his sister.
Princess Shan Yu!
A person who is extremely talented, but because he is a daughter, it is absolutely impossible to inherit the throne.
