Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

imperial capital.

"You think that I am a good brother, but you underestimate this royal brother."

The second prince played with the spear in his hand and stabbed a dead tree in the courtyard.

The powerful force penetrated directly through the tree body, and cracks visible to the naked eye spread along the gun tip, destroying the entire dead tree with just one breath.

During his years in the army, Zhou Ting not only developed a deep love for an army general, but also developed skills and extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Even General Yu Xing, who was watching not far away, nodded secretly.

Although Zhou Ting is only in his early twenties, he may be good at fighting. Looking at the Zhou Dynasty, no one in the same age group can match him.

"But there are still a lot of strange things."

"For example, the bodies of Wang Wei and others have not been found yet."

Yu Xing cupped his hands and clasped his fists, the look of confusion on his face getting even worse.

Wang Wei and others were the chess pieces that Yu Xing secretly arranged in order to kill Zhou Zheng and others off guard at the first opportunity, but Wang Wei and others lost contact.

Live without people, dead without corpses!

All this was so weird that they even surveyed along the road and found no clues.

Hearing this, Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of darkness in his pupils.

He didn't care about the death of Wang Wei and others, but disappearing into thin air was not a good thing.

"Keep checking!"

Sheathing the spear, Zhou Ting ordered Yu Xing in a deep voice.

After all, it was about assassinating the prince. Even though Yu Xing had done everything perfectly, Zhou Ting still didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

"But my fourth brother is too arrogant in Fancheng."

"It seems like it's time to comfort Chen Mian."

Standing with his hands behind his back, although Fancheng was hundreds of miles away from the imperial capital, everything that happened there was under Zhou Ting's control.

He knew that Zhou Zheng was no longer the demented fourth brother he had been before, but to be so courageous and even let the prefect Chen Mian dig up his ancestral grave in public was a bit too much.

"Second Prince, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not."

After some hesitation, Yu Xing finally spoke.

"There seems to be some connection between Dai Mu and the third prince."

Seeing Zhou Ting nodding, Yu Xing finally spoke in a deep voice.

And these words made Zhou Ting's face instantly darken: "Is there any evidence?"

"Back to the Second Prince, we are currently investigating. I think there will be news in the near future."

Yu Xing didn't dare to hide it. Now that the prince's claim to the throne was becoming more and more obvious, taking sides was a big deal. If any detail went wrong, the whole game might be lost.

Even though Chen Mian and Yu Xing were close friends, Yu Xing did not dare to be careless in this matter.

After all, when the second prince came to power, Yu Xing and others were the biggest contributors. From then on, they leaped over the dragon gate and changed the world!

Therefore, no matter who dares to be disadvantageous to the second prince, or even have personal relationships with other princes, it is not allowed in Yuxing.

"check!"

"If there is a connection between Dai Muzhen and the third brother, you can handle this matter yourself."

Throwing down his spear, Zhou Ting walked out of the courtyard with a gloomy expression.

"What about Chen Mian?"

Zhou Ting paused slightly: "I don't need people like this."

After leaving these words, Zhou Ting didn't even look back.

Seeing Zhou Ting disappearing from sight, Yu Xing's face gained a hint of solemnity: "Chen Mian, I hope you won't be so confused."

......

The mansion of the three princes.

"You actually let Zhou Zheng live until now?"

"Are all those killers eating shit?"

Zhou Qiao was so angry that he kept hitting everything in the lobby. Even the valuable antique ceramics were useless in his eyes and were smashed one after another.

Seeing Zhou Qiao's anger, everyone retreated, fearing that if they accidentally offended Zhou Qiao, they would be killed.

The surroundings were empty except for an old man standing quietly beside Zhou Qiao, saying nothing and looking at Zhou Qiao quietly.

After a long time, Zhou Qiao calmed down a little.

But his face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his joints creaked under his clenched fists.

He was unwilling to give in, and he couldn't figure out why Zhou Zheng was still alive and well.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, it is not a good thing to continue in this mood."

Finally, when Zhou Qiao slumped on the chair, the old man's hoarse voice came slowly.

His seemingly offensive words did not make Zhou Qiao go berserk. Instead, he took a deep breath and allowed himself to control his inner impulse.

Since Concubine Shu passed away, Zhou Qiao's whole soul seemed to be gone.

He felt that his life had lost its backbone and he was confused all day long.

But he still had to pretend to be gentle and elegant in front of outsiders, which made him quite painful!

"Mr. Yin, do I still have a chance?"

After a long time, Zhou Qiao took a deep breath and looked at the calm old man and asked in a deep voice with a trembling voice.

"What kind of opportunity is your Highness talking about?"

Mr. Yin's rhetorical question made Zhou Qiao fall into deep thought.

"If we want to avenge Concubine Shu and kill Zhou Zheng, we will certainly have a chance."

"Going north, even to Dayuan, there are many opportunities."

"If there is a fight to win the direct lineage, for the sake of the throne, at least not yet."

Mr. Yin's words were very plain, but they were like sharp thorns that stabbed into Zhou Qiao's heart.

He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Mr. Yin. His last opened mouth closed weakly, and he even sat on the chair almost decadently.

"No!"

"I must win this time because I have no other choice!"

Zhou Qiao's pupils flickered, and there was even more light in his eyes. He spoke sincerely and without hesitation!

The final outcome of successive generations of heir apparents has been quite miserable.

Unless you don't get involved in the battle for the right to inherit, once you step into it, you will fight to the death!

"Is the Yin family also ready to give up on me?"

When the Yin family was mentioned, Zhou Qiao looked serious and wiped away all his previous decadence. He looked at Mr. Yin with his eyes and asked in a deep voice!

"The Yin family has not given up on the third prince, and will not give up on the third prince easily."

"But if the third prince wants to ascend to the throne, he still needs one thing."

Mr. Yin shook his head, and Zhou Qiao was relieved after hearing his words.

"What is missing?"

"Hard force!"

Zhou Qiao murmured to himself what Mr. Yin said was ruthless, frowning slightly with a look of confusion on his face.

Over the years, he has always been gentle and elegant, sharing the burdens of the Holy Emperor, sharing the worries of the court, and being gentle to all officials.

But now Mr. Yin said that he needed to be fierce?

"Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success!"

"Emperors, generals, and ministers all do whatever it takes to achieve their goals!"

"How about beauty? How about money? These are just the means and tools for His Highness to ascend to the throne!"

"How can you achieve great things if you can't bear it!?"

"Being a drug-free and husband-free is the most basic requirement for being a king!"

Mr. Yin's words kept echoing in Zhou Qiao's mind. His face was complicated and his expression was solemn.

When Mr. Yin saw this, he quietly retreated. He knew that the third prince needed time to digest what he had just said.

As for how much Zhou Qiao can listen to these words, it is his personal matter.

......

"Your Highness, Zhou Zheng has successfully left Fancheng."

Liu Fu told Zhou Fan roughly what happened to Zhou Zheng in Fancheng.

Zhou Fan was also a little surprised and became even more interested in this fourth brother.

"It seems that the fourth brother's temperament is even more different outside than in the imperial capital."

"It's a pity that he just let Chen Mian dig his own ancestral grave instead of killing Chen Mian in public."

Thinking of this, Zhou Fan also felt a little regretful.

If Zhou Zheng killed Chen Mian in public, it would most likely cause a riot in Fancheng. Wouldn't he be able to kill two birds with one stone by dying under the knife in Fancheng at that time?

"But that's good, at least the second child won't give up so easily."

While pruning the flowers and plants in the garden, the eldest prince looked calm.

"When is the eldest prince going to take action?"

"Do it, why do you do it?"

"The second and third sons will not make it so easy for him on this journey north from Dazhou to Dayuan."

Zhou Fan didn't seem to be in a hurry.

However, Liu Fu was a little eager: "What if the prince really lives to the Yuan Dynasty?"

This is what Liu Fu is most worried about. Once he survives to the Great Yuan, things may become more complicated.

"Both the second and third brothers have not figured out that dying in Dayuan is the best destination for the fourth brother."

The words spoken in a plain tone made Liu Fu slightly stunned, and then a smile that was still unfinished quietly rose.
