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

The Ninth Prince sneered: "If Old Eighth had such ability, why would he abandon the city and flee?"

Li Keyong was stunned by this sentence. Thinking of the conflict between Tu Zhizhi and the Eighth Prince, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Eighth Prince is indeed incompetent, but he is lucky. Tu Zhizhi might have chosen him because of this."

"If she had chosen Your Highness, Yongzhou City would have been in our hands long ago. How could Chen Changli be the boss?"

Hearing his tone full of reluctance, the Ninth Prince knew that he said this on purpose for him to hear. He felt relieved in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He only said: "Tu Yuanzhou calls himself the Green King, and his strength is the strongest among us."

"But he has a weakness, that is, Quanrong and Hehe are enough to pose a threat to him."

"In other words, before he resolves the crisis brought by the Quanrong and Hehe, he cannot reach out to other places and will be trapped in Qingzhou."

"Tu Zhizhi is his sister, living away from home, and it seems that she has a distant relationship with him, but isn't this also their calculation?"

When the Ninth Prince said this, his face was full of sarcasm.

"So Tu Zhizhi would only choose Lao Ba, because he is a person who is easy to control."

Li Keyong listened to the Ninth Prince's disdainful words and thought for a moment. He began to wonder if the Eighth Prince had noticed Tu Zhizhi and Tu Yuanzhou's scheme, which was why he had changed his attitude towards Tu Zhizhi.

"I will look into this matter." Li Keyong had an idea as his mind turned.

When the Ninth Prince heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "How is the Xie family doing?"

Previously, someone transported opium to the Xie family, and the Ninth Prince specially sent people to stop them. Although they obtained a batch of opium, the leader escaped.

Also because this person has a close relationship with Tu Zhizhi, the Ninth Prince is very concerned about the relationship between Tu Zhizhi and the Eighth Prince.

"The Xie family has decided to help Your Highness. As for the Eighth Prince's plan, they have already understood it and are prepared to fight the Eighth Prince to the death." Li Keyong replied immediately.

The harm of opium had long spread throughout Yongzhou City, and then spread from Yongzhou City to other places.

As a large family with hundreds of years of heritage, the Xie family naturally has their own channels to receive news and verify the authenticity of the news.

So when the Xie family learned that the Eighth Prince was planning to use opium to control them, everyone was furious.

"The Xie family is not bad, but they are a bit arrogant, so we can't put in too much effort to deal with the Eighth Prince." The Ninth Prince frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to make use of the Xie family.

Li Keyong agreed with this: "These aristocratic families inherited from the previous dynasty, on the surface, are unwilling to contribute to the court, but in fact, they secretly support many poor children."

"If the children of poor families have a promising future in the court, they can use these people to gain power and oppress the people around them. They hover over Dajing's head like leeches, making many people tremble with fear."

"The fact that the Dajing Society has fallen into a precarious situation so quickly and is now in name only is closely related to these aristocratic families."

"If possible, we must first find a way to drain the wealth of these aristocratic families, and then completely wipe them out."

The new dynasty does not need aristocratic families, otherwise Dajing will become a lesson for the past.

The Ninth Prince understood what he meant and said with a cold expression, "I have also contacted several noble families in the past few days, and their reactions are similar to those of the Xie family."

"If the opium incident hadn't given the Xie family a wake-up call, they might not have helped me. So through the Xie family incident, I know what other aristocratic families are planning."

When the Ninth Prince said this, his eyes became extremely cold, as if he had been holding back something in his heart for a long time and was about to be unable to hold it back any longer.

Seeing that he was in a bad state, Li Keyong immediately reached out and pressed his shoulder.

His force was neither light nor heavy, but it was enough to bring back the Ninth Prince's sanity.

"Your Highness, you need to rest for a few days and stop wasting your energy." Li Keyong said worriedly.

The Ninth Prince coughed and forced a smile on his face: "Uncle, Yongzhou City has not been taken yet, how can I rest?"

"I will help you take Yongzhou City." Li Keyong said solemnly, but his eyes were full of worry as he stared at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince raised his eyes to look at him, met the worry in his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I know what to do, uncle, don't worry about me."

After hearing this, Li Keyong seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

The Ninth Prince was not in good health, and he was worried about many things, which made his health worse.

Li Keyong was aware of this and was always concerned about his health.

"How is my health? I know it well. When I can't hold on any longer, I will tell you." Seeing that Li Keyong kept his eyes on him, the Ninth Prince knew that Li Keyong wanted a promise from him.

"I will arrange someone to take care of you." Li Keyong knew how stubborn the Ninth Prince was, and he also knew that he could not convince him, so he sighed.

The Ninth Prince wanted to refuse, but seeing that Li Keyong's face was full of a look that could not be refused, he agreed.

Li Keyong immediately went to make arrangements, while the Ninth Prince continued to ponder over the previous events. Then, thinking of the little tricks of the Sixth Prince, he deliberately sent a pigeon to him to tell him about Wen Baicao.

After the pigeon flew away, the Ninth Prince suddenly sighed, not knowing what he was thinking, "If Wen Baicao and Chang Xuewei have the same idea, then are they connected, but are they deliberately pretending to be distant in front of us?"

When he thought of this, the Ninth Prince's face suddenly darkened, as if he had thought of something bad, and his mood fluctuated. "No, I have to ask my second uncle to talk to Chen Changli."

As he said this, he quickly passed the message to Li Keyi.

Two hours later, Li Keyi, who had already arrived at Mingyue Mountain, received a carrier pigeon.

After taking the note off the pigeon and reading its contents, Li Keyi's brows twisted unconsciously into knots, "Why did Your Highness make such an arrangement? Could it be that Chang Xuewei and Wen Baicao are mutually beneficial?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Ming shook the fan in his hand and said, "Your Highness may be worried that the two of them are teaming up to put on a show for others to see."

Li Keyi's brows relaxed when he heard this, and he said sarcastically, "These people who are not presentable like to use some despicable means, but unfortunately I don't fall for it."

"What does the general plan to do?" Hearing Li Keyi's confident words, Situ Ming paused in waving his fan.

Li Keyi glanced at him and said in an unusually cold voice: "I have already promised my elder brother, so at this moment we can only follow His Highness's instructions and not have any other thoughts, otherwise it will cause trouble for my elder brother and His Highness."

Hearing this, Situ Ming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Li Keyi didn't do anything reckless, there would be a promising future.

"It just so happens that Chen Changli will send someone to pick up the people tomorrow. We can take this opportunity to pass on the message to him and have him meet us."

After Situ Ming finished speaking, he looked at Li Keyi cautiously, and seeing that his expression did not change, he was about to speak when suddenly a puff of black smoke rose into the sky not far away.

"What is that?" Situ Ming was quite surprised when he saw the black smoke.
