The moment the eldest prince finished speaking, even though Gong Han was born into a prime minister's family and had always been calm and composed, he was completely stunned. When he thought of a certain terrifying existence, his whole body trembled!
"Your Highness, are you talking about... him?!"
In fact, Gong Han could no longer remain calm when he heard the eldest prince's decision to "give up Wolf Territory". He could understand it intellectually, but he could not accept it emotionally, because he knew very well that they had spent a lot of money on Wolf Territory during this period of time. Now that it was all abandoned in one day, how could he not feel pain
I'm afraid that even the eldest prince himself would not have thought of this change in advance.
But, thinking about it the other way around, since even the eldest prince himself had not thought of doing so at the last moment, how could Chu Tianxiao predict such a sudden and decisive change
No matter how cunning he is, he will be caught off guard this time.
Therefore, this can be called a brilliant move. Although Gong Han felt pained, he would not object...
However, when the eldest prince mentioned "that weapon", Gong Han could no longer care about anything else and said very rudely: "Your Highness, please think twice!"
"This person is truly a murderous weapon. If he is placed in a city, he will bring disaster to the people of that city. If he is placed in a region, he will cause chaos in that region! If he is placed in a country, he will be a monster that will cause chaos in the country! He is the source of disaster and chaos, and he must not be used!"
"What's more, we... have not been able to fully control this person until now. At most, it is just a relationship of mutual benefit... How easy is it to use him? No... Your Highness, we must not use this person!"
This was quite hysterical, but the eldest prince was not angry. In fact, even he struggled violently in his heart when he made the decision to "send this person"...
He knew very well that this man was a murder weapon, sharp and powerful enough to crush Chu Tianxiao, but at the same time, he was also a deadly poison. Once infected, he would probably have to spend a long time in nightmare...
but…
"The source of the disaster can be cleared up afterwards, but this is the best time to get rid of Chu Tianxiao! No... This opportunity is rare, and it may even be the last chance. This palace must not miss it!"
"What's more, if I can obtain 'that treasure' in the Dragon Marquis Secret Realm, it will be a perfect match for the current situation. By then, becoming the crown prince will only be a matter of time!"
"This is a God-given opportunity. If you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences!"
"Except for him... because of his 'special' nature, no one else can reach the Savage River Basin!"
After saying this, Gong Han fell silent.
How could he not know the pros and cons? But when he thought about... the horror of that man...
If I use him today, I will have to repay this favor in the future. By then... I don't know how many more scorched earth and graves will be built on the vast mountains and rivers...
That is a deadly weapon that can bring disaster to China!
If you keep feeding him the bait...
Gong Han simply couldn't imagine the consequences.
But... Gong Han knew that he couldn't persuade her anymore.
As a counselor, if you contradict your lord and risk your life to give advice, you can say that you are loyal and devoted to your cause, but a counselor should also know his limits.
It is not a foolish thing for a rational person like Gong Han to repeatedly contradict his lord who has made up his mind.
Moreover, he knew very well why the eldest prince had to explain to him in such detail...
So, Gong Han took a long breath, and finally clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
"Well... From now on, you will start contacting this person and make sure he gets to the Savage River Basin as soon as possible! The sooner the better!"
"If we delay, something bad will happen. I understand that. However, this man is no longer the little ant that we could control back then. I'm afraid his strength is not inferior to mine, and he may even be stronger. What if he... what should we do?"
"… The barbarians are holding me back, so I cannot leave. You can lead all my subordinates in the Savage River Basin, but remember, don't use force if you can."
"Your Highness, do you mean..." Gong Han seemed to understand, "Promise them great benefits, slowly guide them, and don't say anything else?"
"That's right." The eldest prince's voice was filled with admiration. "No matter how harmful this person is, he is born in a low-class family. The greed and fear after the outbreak in his bones will definitely be difficult to change throughout his life. In this matter, we can use this as a guide and try our best to get rid of it..."
Hearing this, Gong Han was convinced and said, "Your Highness is wise."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, there is one more thing... Your Highness, do you remember the first 'disaster' that person did back then?"
"Oh? What's so strange about this?"
The eldest prince was very satisfied with Gong Han’s reaction. As a counselor, this is what he should do - since the lord has made up his mind, he should help with all his might and not have any other thoughts.
More importantly, the eldest prince knew that this was a signal that the Gong family, a family of prime ministers, was completely on the same boat with him!
In the past, Gong Han would not have said this.
The aristocratic families are the ones who place bets. Now, is the Gong family finally going to make up its mind
The eldest prince was very careful and could make countless guesses from just one point, but his mouth was calm and collected: "Gong Han, you can speak freely."
Hearing this, Gong Han nodded and said, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, a servant in my family happened to be at the scene of the incident. It was already dark at that time, and when my servant arrived, it seemed that the incident was over. He only heard a sad cry, which stopped abruptly halfway through, and the content was a bit vague, but there was a name in it that I think Your Highness would be very interested in..."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, the eldest prince who was far away lowered his eyes slightly, and heard Gong Han smile and slowly said...
"The name... is Blood Rock."
After a series of words fell, the pupils of the eldest prince who was far away suddenly shrank. He was not a fool, and he could understand what Gong Han said. If there was no contact beforehand, he would not doubt anything, but when all the appearances were combined together...
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind!
Blood Wolf... Blood Rock!
When he thought of this, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince. When he thought of that person's almost morbid habit, his tone was filled with a bit of joy of victory, but his voice was commanding.
"This matter will be handled in this way, immediately!"
"Yes!" Gong Han responded, and then quickly ended the connection with the eldest prince and took out another tortoise shell-like sound transmission device - compared to the sound transmission talisman, this was a more confidential means of sound transmission.
Gong Han would never leave any evidence behind.
…
…
At this time, somewhere in the wasteland.
The wasteland was endless, with blood-red rocks everywhere and no grass growing anywhere. Not far away there were large dark red lakes with huge bubbles rolling in them. A bloody smell filled the air and lingered for a long time.
This is a secret place that was recently discovered in the vast land of China, known as the "Blood Lake Secret Realm".
Some time ago, after a negotiation of interests, all the major sects and dynasties sent out exploration teams. Based on the preliminary exploration, the experts determined that this secret realm had great rewards and low risks, and they were all eager to try...
Today is the day when this secret realm is theoretically reopened, and all exploration teams should return by now.
Therefore, this place is already crowded with practitioners from various forces who have come to meet the group. Everyone is looking forward to the treasures that their exploration team will bring back...
They are full of expectations.
