"Your Highness, have you got the soul seal? What is going on inside?"
Liu Bilu asked.
Li Rushan shook his head and said, "I didn't get the soul seal. This time I didn't think carefully and brought too few people.
Just now it was no longer a question of fighting for the soul seal, but a question of whether one could save his life.
If Ye Li hadn't risked his life to protect me, I would never have been able to walk out of the gate of this palace.
This time the soul seal seemed to have been obtained by the people of the White Lotus Kingdom, and the people of the remaining teams were besieging the White Lotus Kingdom team.
However, the White Lotus Nation was well prepared this time, even setting up the Ming Wang Demon Subduing Formation. The people from other forces who had almost no coordination ability were unable to cause them too much trouble. "
After hearing Li Rushan's words, Liu Zhanqing and Liu Bilu looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, where is the eldest prince?"
When Li Rushan heard the two people asking about Li Ruhai, he was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and said, "He is still fine, and he will probably be out soon.
He attacked me once, but after Ye Li killed two of his men, he got scared and didn't dare to provoke us again."
After hearing what Li Rushan said, the Liu Zhanqing brothers nodded and didn't say anything more.
Ye Li was a little confused as to why Liu Zhanqing and the others asked about Li Ruhai, but he did not ask.
Just after everyone stood there for a while, more people came out of the palace one after another. In addition to Li Ruhai, there were also people from the Dahuntian organization.
What made Ye Li feel a little unbelievable was that the people from the Dahuntian organization were actually standing next to Li Ruhai, and the two seemed to be talking about something.
The fishman still did not attack the people coming out. It seemed that its function was only to prevent people from entering, but it would not intercept people coming out.
Seeing this, the masters outside stopped attacking the mermen. After all, if they didn't attack the mermen, the mermen would not actively attack them. They just stood quietly on both sides of the palace gate like two sculptures.
The people from the Dahuntian organization brought Li Ruhai back to Zeng Deshun. Ermian Shura also walked over from not far away, and everyone gathered together.
Ye Li frowned and looked at them from afar. He didn't know what the other party was doing, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Your Highness, this is our leader, Lord Zeng Deshun.
My Lord, this is the eldest prince of the Tang Kingdom, His Royal Highness Li Ruhai."
The thin old man who escaped from Ye Li introduced himself with a smile on his face.
Li Ruhai smiled widely and said, "Li Ruhai greets Senior Zeng."
"Your Highness is too polite!"
Zeng Deshun seemed a little confused as to why Li Ruhai came over. While responding, he looked at the thin old man and the tall old man and asked.
The thin old man said: "Sir, we wanted to kill Ye Li in the palace before, but he killed five of us instead. His strength is stronger than we expected. We are no match for him.
We have heard about the affairs of the First Prince before. He and the Second Prince Li Rushan are at loggerheads with each other, and Ye Li is one of Li Rushan's retainers.
We want to kill Ye Li, and His Royal Highness the First Prince wants to get rid of Li Rushan. There should be a possibility of cooperation between us.
That is why I brought the Second Prince here. I hope you can meet him."
Zeng Deshun was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Ruhai would be willing to cooperate.
He had heard the conversation between Li Ruhai and Li Rushan by the Youlong Pond before and knew that there was a conflict between the two, but he didn't know either of them at the time.
Later, while waiting to enter the Youlong Pool, he asked the people around him about Li Ruhai and Li Rushan, and also learned about the grudge between the two from the side.
After Zeng Deshun and Li Ruhai looked at each other, they walked to the corner of the square at the same time and started chatting when there was no one around.
"Your Highness, I am a straightforward person and I don't like to beat around the bush. I will just say it directly. We want to kill Ye Li, and we need a certain status and power.
I think Your Highness, the eldest prince, hopes to inherit the throne, so killing Li Rushan is probably what you have to do."
Zeng Deshun spoke straight to the point.
Li Ruhai felt uncomfortable when he heard his blunt words, but he was also very happy.
He thought for a moment and said, "What the senior said is correct. If I want to inherit the throne, I must kill Li Rushan. However, even if I kill Li Rushan, I may not be able to inherit the throne.
I also have a brother, Li Rulin. Although he doesn't like power and doesn't want to inherit the throne, there is no guarantee that my emperor will not set him up as another competitor of mine! " Zeng Deshun was stunned and said, "Your father set him up as a competitor, what do you mean?"
Li Ruhai was silent for a moment, a trace of ferocity appeared on his face, and he said: "My father is a guy with an inflated desire for power. Does he think I don't know that Li Rushan was deliberately set up by him to be my competitor
According to our country's tradition, when he reaches a certain age, he will pass the throne to us and then retire to practice cultivation.
In order to avoid passing on the throne, he wanted the two of us to kill each other, and then he could find an excuse to depose both of us and give the throne to Li Rulin.
But Li Rulin didn't want to inherit the throne at all, so even if he had the right to inherit the throne, he would take the initiative to ask his father to continue to hold power temporarily.
He thought I didn't understand what he was thinking. The reason why I pretended to be extremely jealous of Li Rushan was that if I didn't pretend well, he would come up with a more difficult plan to plot against me.
I might as well pretend to be fooled, so that he will just act according to his previous plan and won't try to come up with something that I can't see through.
Moreover, I also planned to make him think that I was stupid and that I was jealous of my brother but trusted him completely. Only in this way could I possibly outwit him and successfully seize the throne."
Zeng Deshun was stunned when he heard Li Ruhai's words. He didn't expect that the situation in the Tang royal family would be so complicated.
However, Zeng Deshun said, "Your Highness, since your father is plotting against you and even wants to kill you, why can't you treat him the same way?"
His words surprised Li Ruhai.
Zeng Deshun paused for a moment, then continued, "If we want to cooperate, let's cooperate on a big one. Since killing Li Rushan won't allow you to inherit the throne, why don't you try to get rid of your father as well
I know that according to the inheritance rules of your royal family, before your status as heir is abolished, once the emperor dies, you will be the first heir.
Li Rushan has many followers in the court, and he may challenge your right of succession. If we get rid of him, there will be no such problem, and it is almost guaranteed that you will inherit the throne."
