Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The Eighth Prince also realized that he had some shortcomings, but he had too few people he could use. Tu Zhizhi had both ability and connections.

Even though he suspected Tu Zhizhi and was always on guard against her, he had no choice but to use her.

The man heard the melancholy in the Eighth Prince's words, and was silent for a while, but he couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, Tu Zhizhi is an outsider after all, you should slow down your use of her, and can't let her be fully responsible for your affairs."

The Eighth Prince was somewhat helpless: "Do you think I don't want to? But I really don't have many people under my control."

During the time he was trapped in Luoyang City, most of the people he secretly trained were eliminated by Princess An Qing and the Emperor.

Then, in order to gain the emperor's trust, he exposed some people to the emperor.

When the emperor pretended to be dead, he was very proud of himself, and then he killed Princess An Qing and tried to take over her people.

Unexpectedly, Tu Zhizhi reacted quickly, not only escaping the pursuit, but also firmly grasping those people in his hands to fight against him.

When the Xintian Society emerged, he lost most of the people he had gathered with great difficulty, so for his own future, he turned to Tu Zhizhi again.

"Ye Yun, I know you are worried about me, and I also know that you don't like Tu Zhizhi."

The eighth prince poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup and took a sip, then looked at the man seriously.

"But before your great cause is accomplished, you must suppress your dislike in your heart and not show it in front of her, otherwise our cooperation at this moment will become a sharp knife that will cause us heavy losses."

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but Tu Zhizhi has a grudge against the Xin Tian Hui, and this time she used your manpower to deal a heavy blow to the Xin Tian Hui." Ye Yun said, with some doubts in his eyes, "The Xin Tian Hui is so hidden, who knows how many tricks it has?"

"If it becomes your enemy because of Tu Zhizhi's behavior, we will be the ones who lose in the end. After all, besides it, the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince are also eyeing us covetously."

"Not to mention Tu Yuanzhou, who already has the upper hand. If he intends to contact Tu Zhizhi, our great cause will probably be devoured by them before it succeeds."

When the Eighth Prince heard this, his brows were gloomy, because he thought about Tu Yuanzhou sending someone to see him, and Tu Zhizhi had actively made arrangements for it.

"I have never met Tu Yuanzhou. This time Tu Yuanzhou sent someone to see me, which is an opportunity. Ye Yun, I will test this person and find out what Tu Yuanzhou thinks, and then make plans."

The eighth prince's eyes darkened slightly, as if he had made a decision in his heart.

Seeing that he looked determined and not angry at all because Tu Zhizhi might do something bad to him, Ye Yun's mood instantly improved.

The reason why he reminded the Eighth Prince was because he was very worried that the Eighth Prince would be deceived by Tu Zhizhi's appearance, and thus lead them to an irreparable end.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was awake, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He touched the ring on his hand, and his thoughts began to turn.

After two breaths, he suggested: "The Ninth Prince is chasing Yongzhou, most likely because of the Sixth Prince. After all, you and the Sixth Prince have a tacit understanding and are ready to join forces to deal with Prince Rong."

"However, the Ninth Prince is closest to you. Even if he knows your intentions, he will think that you will eliminate him immediately, which is why he can't wait to conquer Yongzhou."

"So my idea is that you can tell the Ninth Prince about Tu Yuanzhou and ask him to temporarily postpone his attack on Yongzhou."

"Of course, the Ninth Prince is arrogant and has two generals under him who are experienced in fighting. We can't compare with them at all, but the Ninth Prince knows what these words Tu Yuanzhou mean."

"We need to send someone who is good at speaking to persuade the Ninth Prince, or offer him benefits that he cannot refuse, so that he will target Tu Yuanzhou first instead of just staring at us."

When Ye Yun said this, he thought about the Ninth Prince's uncle's family and felt a surge of envy in his heart.

The Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince were able to successfully escape from Luoyang City, quickly occupy territory, and declare themselves kings, all because their maternal families were very capable.

Compared with the Sixth Prince, the Ninth Prince's biggest advantage is that he has two uncles who hold certain military power.

Yongzhou’s repeated failures this time were all due to the ninth prince’s uncle.

Tu Zhizhi couldn't wait to use Afurong because she felt that if the two continued to attack, Yongzhou would only become a subsidiary of the Ninth Prince.

"You are too naive." Hearing Ye Yun's words about wanting to reach a cooperation with the Ninth Prince, it was as if there was a fire in his heart that wanted to burn everything.

But before that, he could only burn himself, just because Ye Yun was his cousin, who was not only smart, but also helped him win over a lot of people.

If he even abandoned Ye Yun, he would really become a lonely man and be treated as a puppet by Tu Zhizhi.

"What is your opinion, Your Highness?" Seeing that the Eighth Prince was about to get angry, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he forced himself to suppress his anger. Ye Yun changed his mind and asked with concern.

The Eighth Prince slowly exhaled, his tone full of coldness: "Old Nine has two capable uncles. He is very proud. How could he take me seriously? Old Six also saw this clearly, so he gave up cooperating with him and chose to negotiate with me."

"If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the New Tianhui, the two of us would have joined forces to deal a heavy blow to Old Nine."

"So even though our current enemy includes Lao Jiu, the New Heaven Society should not be underestimated."

"We have to make preparations for both scenarios. Either we win over the New Heaven Society, or we make it the target of public criticism. If that doesn't work, we can use Prince Rong as a shield."

The Eighth Prince spoke with gnashing teeth, as if he hated the Xintian Society to the core.

Ye Yun listened to his words, his hands trembled slightly, and a bit of entanglement appeared in his eyes, "Does Your Highness have to do this?"

No matter how powerful the Xin Tian Hui is, they are still rebels who cannot be shown on the stage. The Eighth Prince’s top priority is to resolve Yongzhou’s predicament rather than fighting to the death with the Xin Tian Hui.

However, the Eighth Prince was determined. Ye Yun saw this and did not intend to persuade him. He just said with some embarrassment, "The New Heaven Society is similar to the White Lotus Sect. If we focus on it, the Ninth Prince will benefit."

The Eighth Prince's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was filled with hatred. "How can I allow others to sleep soundly on my bed? Cousin, the New Heaven Society is like a thorn in my throat."

If the Xin Tian Hui had a base somewhere else and it was exposed, the Eighth Prince would not have ended up like this.

However, he didn't expect that the Xin Tianhui's base was in the Wumeng Mountains, not far from Yongzhou, and they also possessed the method of making opium. The Eighth Prince couldn't sleep whenever he thought of this.

Seeing the cruelty in the Eighth Prince's eyes, Ye Yun sighed slightly: "Tu Zhizhi is a very useful chess piece. If Your Highness had used her well, your current situation would not be so difficult."

"That's not what you said before." The Eighth Prince was quite surprised to hear this, but after a moment, he asked with surprise, "Cousin, do you have any way for me to keep control of Tu Zhizhi?"
