The third prince insisted that he would not return to the capital, and the officers and men couldn't help him, so they chased the eldest prince back and let the eldest prince preside over the overall situation.
They know what the third prince thinks, and they just want to find the bandits so that they can make up for their mistakes and cover up his shame.
"No, you just follow my orders!" The third prince rejected the general's proposal without even thinking about it.
He threatened to intimidate Xuanyuanzhi away, how could he agree to chase him back and hand over military power
Moreover, if you drive people away first, then chase them back, and then catch the culprits, Xuanyuanzhi will be credited for that, and it has nothing to do with him.
If he didn't catch it, he might be blamed for delaying things, and he wouldn't do such a thing that hurts himself and others.
What's more, he didn't need his own hands to hunt down the bandits, so what if he was too sick to move
"Leave 20,000 soldiers to guard the sea area, and the other soldiers are divided into four groups. Immediately go to track down the bandits and the gold they took away. By the way, send someone to the island where the bandits stayed before and see if they find anything?" The prince held on to the sick body and explained everything one by one.
"Yes, Your Highness." Although the generals accompanying the ship were worried, there was nothing they could do.
The third prince is the most stubborn, no one can persuade him about what he insists on, and they also hope to catch the bandits and boost their morale.
Although the main responsibility for the failure to save lives this time lies with the third prince, they also have to bear the secondary responsibility. If they can make up for the failure, it will also be beneficial to them.
There were 100,000 elite soldiers, leaving 20,000 people to garrison. The others were divided into four teams and chased out. Each team had two Martial Saint masters sitting in the line to ensure that even if they encountered bandits, they would have the strength to fight.
The sea is too big, and the best time to hunt has passed. It is not easy to find someone at sea. The third prince and others pin their hopes on the island where the bandits stayed before.
However, there was nothing on the island. The traces left by the bandits were all burned by a fire, and the people of the third prince found nothing.
In the end, I can only put my hope on the sea, hoping to catch someone, even if I can't catch the bandits, at least I have to get the gold back, but I searched for two days in a row, but found nothing.
The generals who accompanied the ship were a little impatient, but the third prince was very calm, and only let them continue to chase, expand the scope of the chase, and never give up until the bandits were chased.
The general was helpless and had to continue looking for a target at sea...
Although the eldest prince left, the eldest prince knew very well what happened on the ship. When he learned that the third prince fell ill as soon as they left, the eldest prince couldn't help laughing: "It really is retribution."
The third child is too arrogant. Relying on the emperor's favor, he almost ignores his big brother. This time he finally fell.
"Retribution? Where did the retribution come from?" Xiao Tianyao sneered after hearing this.
The eldest prince is too naive, God is so busy, how can he care about an ordinary mortal, and these people, which of them are not bloody hands, really want retribution, they will all suffer retribution.
"What did you do?" The eldest prince is not stupid, as soon as Xiao Tianyao opened his mouth, he understood.
"Otherwise, is there really such a coincidence?" As soon as they left, the third prince fell ill. How could there be such a coincidence.
"Is it necessary? Whether he is sick or not is not good for us." The first prince did not think that such a trivial matter deserved Xiao Tianyao's accident.
He knew Xiao Tianyao's ability.
When Lin Chujiu saw the eldest prince, he didn't understand, so he could only say a reminder: "Of course, if the third prince is ill, you can go back to take over the military power, and then you can catch the bandits and recover the gold, and then you can make meritorious deeds."
After this incident, although the image of the eldest prince has improved, it is not enough. The eldest prince needs a great achievement, a great achievement that can make the emperor satisfied and proud.
At this time, what could be greater than saving the third prince, the seventh prince, and catching the bandits
It was because the third prince understood this point that he would rather tear his face than take back the military power and seize the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"However, I still didn't go back." Xiao Tianyao's plan was good, but it didn't work.
"Anything is only five or five. We have done it. At least there is a chance. If we don't do it, there is no possibility."
If it succeeds, it is naturally good; if it fails, he has nothing to lose.
One can't be too greedy, and all the benefits will fall on one head, even if the emperor will not be suspicious, others will not look at it.
"You're right, this matter is indeed a matter of five or five, and the decision of the third child is not something we can control." The first prince understood after a second thought.
This matter, it should be that the third prince is biting him dead and alive, refusing to let him go back, lest he grab the credit.
The third child is really as careful as ever.
"This matter has passed. This journey is better for His Highness the Seventh Highness, and don't stop contacting after returning to Beijing." Since the credit cannot be obtained, then he will act like a brother and brother.
As a prince, no matter what method you use, you must first gain the emperor's favor and satisfy the emperor before you can let go of your hands and feet. Otherwise, no matter how high you climb, the emperor's words will be empty.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the seventh, and I will only say yes to the third, and I will never say that he is wrong." The eldest prince curled his lips into a smile, his eyes shining.
Xiao Tianyao has helped him lay such a good foundation, and if he can't go well, he will be really stupid.
Xiao Tianyao and his party were not in a hurry. It took seven days and six nights to reach the capital of the empire. When they arrived in the capital, it was already evening. After the first prince brought the two of them into the city, he did not bring them into the palace, but took them to the palace. Settled in the inn.
"I'm going to the palace tonight to see what the emperor means." The empire's attitude towards Dongwen was that Dongwen was not taken seriously. Under such circumstances, how could Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu be taken seriously.
And he is very aware of the capabilities of Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, and also knows the abilities of these two people. If the empire humiliates these two people, he will have trouble with Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu in the future.
Xiao Tianyao is a very good ally, he doesn't want to offend them for the time being.
"Well." Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu had no objection.
Although they don't care about the humiliation of the empire, they don't want to humiliate themselves. If the eldest prince can manage everything, it would be better.
"I'll see you again tomorrow, you should rest early, when you arrive in the empire, things have just begun." The eldest prince did not shy away from approaching Xiao Tianyao.
Before Xiao Tianyao had an accident, he had always supported Xiao Tianyao. The whole empire knew that he had a good relationship with Xiao Tianyao. If he avoided Xiao Tianyao at this time, it would be suspicious.
"Okay." Xiao Tianyao did not refuse. In the Empire, the flag of the First Prince is easier to use than him. With the First Prince, many things will be easier to handle...
