Star Trace Gate

Kyoto, Netherworld Prison, third floor underground.

At this moment, Ren Ye was sitting in a single cell in the northeast corner, a piece of yellow grass in his mouth, his eyes staring at the ceiling, his face full of confusion.

He had been sitting here, thinking for several hours, but still couldn't understand the Third Prince's actions.

You say he wants to win me over, but just now in the palace, he was like a mad dog biting me, and no one could stop him. Even though the old emperor's face was very ugly, he just pretended not to see it and just talked to himself.

You said he wanted to kill me, but two days ago, he threw antique treasures worth more than two million star sources on me...

These two behaviors are so damn disconnected and contradictory.

"call!"

Ren Ye leaned his head against the cold wall, slowly spit out the weeds, and then gritted his teeth and concluded: "I know, this idiot is a mental patient, he should be sent to Qijia Town and let Huang Longjiang treat him well..."

After thinking for a while, he automatically blocked this person and began to calculate his own cards and current risks in his mind.

The Earth Dragon Six Jia is in my hand. If I don’t give it to you, no one can take it away.

This is one of my greatest reliances.

Guan Feng and Han Chan set up the game, Nanjiang and Qingliang Prefecture were both victims, and there must be someone from the Nanjiang court who was involved in the game.

I am willing to be a knife and the old emperor is willing to use me, so he probably doesn't want to kill me.

This can also be seen from the old emperor's expression when the third prince gave him advice.

Also, the Second Prince is definitely on his side, and if he has any conscience, he should be working hard outside now.

Let's go through it again and stroke it...

Ren also felt that the possibility of him being beheaded was not high, but the probability of escaping temporarily was also low.

Damn it, the Third Prince exposed the land purchase matter in the court, causing all the cabinet members, the six ministers, and other officials to kneel down and shout that they wanted to chop him up. Even the Emperor... would not be easy to protect him, or he would be considered incompetent and ignorant of the country's foundation, and there would be "loyal ministers" who would die for his advice.

The court has its own rules and regulations, which is the origin of the word "politics".

"Fuck him, I was a virgin that day, and I didn't break any rules, but I still got so angry." Ren Ye sat in the cell and cursed, "It must be Xu Bangzi who passed on his anger to me. He must have been cross-infected. How unlucky!"

After cursing a few times, Ren fell down and prepared to go to sleep.

Now that we are here, we should make the best of it and keep our spirits high so that we can continue to fight.

However, as soon as he lay down and smelled the familiar smell around him, he suddenly sighed in his heart: "Damn, I'm doomed to be in prison in this life... I can't avoid being in prison wherever I go."

"Tap."

Just as he was about to close his eyes, footsteps slowly sounded outside the cell.

"Brother Huai Wang, Brother Huai Wang...are you asleep?"

A hateful and extremely familiar voice sounded.

"flap!"

Ren Ye sat up suddenly, suspecting for a moment that he was hallucinating.

He looked up and saw a furtive figure suddenly appear outside the wooden fence.

The man was wrapped in a black robe, lying behind the left wall in a stealthy manner, secretly observing into the cell.

"Brother Prince Huai, it's me... I'm Prince Shuo, your third brother!" the figure waved his hand and called out.

As he spoke, he took off the hood on his head, revealing his true face under the light. It was the Third Prince who had taken the lead in reporting him in the palace.

When Ren Ye saw him, he stood up angrily: "Fuck your mother! You want to kill someone and destroy their heart? You bastard, you are going too far... I will fight you."

He roared, rushed to the wooden railing, and wanted to reach out and grab the corner of the third prince's clothes.

The Third Prince shrank his neck with a heavy feeling, jumped back nimbly, and shouted softly, "Brother Huai Wang... don't rush to insult me, just listen to my explanation."

Ren also wanted to kick the man in the face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Get lost! Remember this, if I am vindicated, I will do nothing else for the rest of my life but search for evidence of your crime, and make it into flyers to distribute in the border areas, so that the people of the border areas will know what kind of person you are!"

"Even if you don't send it, they will know it." The third prince corrected him, "Because although the little prince is shameless, greedy and lustful, he has never concealed it from the people of the world."

"...!"

Ren Ye was speechless when he heard this.

When you meet a contestant like this, who is stubborn, shameless, not afraid of revenge, and doesn't care about his reputation, what can you do?

He is just a political desperado and a mad dog who bites whoever he catches.

Seeing that Ren Ye was silent, the Third Prince took the initiative to step forward, cautiously keeping a safe distance: "This prince has just entered the second level, and his supernatural power is very weak, so I am definitely no match for you. Don't do it, or if you touch me, this prince will die on the spot, and you will be charged with the crime of killing the prince. Then you will definitely die miserably...!"

"...!"

Ren continued to remain speechless.

The Third Prince turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there were no jailers or soldiers looking over here, he said earnestly, "You must hate me very much now, right? But my brother Prince Huai, I also have my own difficulties...!"

Ren also looked at him: "You are a prince, what is your reason?"

"My difficulty is that I have to kill you in the Taiji Hall in order to gain any benefits."

"Damn it! I would rather bear the crime of killing the prince than kill you! This is simply too much!" After hearing what he said, Ren Ye's defense was immediately broken, and he raised his palm to smash the wooden fence.

"Brother Huai Wang, please stay calm." The Third Prince stepped back several steps and whispered, "Didn't you notice? In the Taiji Palace, I just started the fight and attracted all the civil and military officials to attack you. Then... I am not the only one who really wants you dead. Can you kill me?"

When Ren Ye heard this, he suppressed his anger and slowly lowered his raised right hand.

"Tsk... They are not as honest as I am. I want to kill you and make a profit, and I said it directly, but they also pretended to be persuaded father to kill you for the sake of the country. Isn't this extremely hypocritical." The handsome face of the third prince was full of complacency: "It is much easier to guard against a villain than a group of hypocrites, what do you think?"

Ren also frowned and remained silent, thinking about his words in his heart.

"Brother Prince Huai, think about it carefully. When I was in Taiji Hall, how many ministers spoke out with solid evidence after I made my speech? You had too close contact with the Green Camp of Qianli, and you didn't avoid suspicion. You also secretly killed Lu Long of Jingshan and helped Fatty Wu to take the throne. All these things...are they really wrong? I don't think so. You did do this." The third prince whispered, "Think about it again. If I didn't say that you wanted to expand your territory...wouldn't others say it? Can you ensure that they will keep quiet...?!"

Ren Ye looked sharply at the handsome face of the Third Prince and said coldly: "You mean, you still helped me?"

"No. To be honest, I just want to get you and make a profit." The third prince was very frank, "But, I am the third prince of my father, I am the Minister of Rites... I am a minister of remonstrance, a loyal minister, a lone minister... How can I give this opportunity to make a profit to those old guys in the court?! Anyway, you are bound to be surrounded and remonstrated, so why not help me, as brothers. Hehe!"

When the third prince said this, he laughed like a lunatic.

Ren Ye looked at this bastard, and not only did he lose his anger, but he asked, "So what did you gain from me?"

"If my father is happy, then I will naturally benefit." The third prince replied quietly.

"The king wants to use me, so how can he be happy if I am surrounded and remonstrated?" Ren also gave guidance.

"If I hadn't jumped out, at most two or three cannon fodders would have jumped out to report you, or maybe just one person. But I jumped out, and the situation in Taiji Palace suddenly changed. There were people who took the opportunity to add insult to injury, people whose interests were affected, and even people who really wanted you to be beheaded... The surface of the water looked murky, but in the eyes of the emperor, it might have become clear." The third prince said proudly, "If the emperor is happy, I will fight 108 women in the palace at night... What can others do to me?"

"You are such a bastard!" The owner of the park shook his head and sighed.

"Thank you for your compliment, brother." The Third Prince waved his hands and said awkwardly, "However, we are close friends. I feel bad for you to be in this situation. Sigh, just hold on a little longer..."

"What do I insist on? Did the emperor say anything to you...?" Ren Ye asked.

"No, I just said something to comfort you. If you can't hold on, then die." The third prince waved his hand gracefully.

"Fuck, you're such a psychopath!" Ren really couldn't stand this Shabi anymore and reached out to grab him again.

“Hehe…!” The Third Prince dodged to the side and said, “Look at Second Brother. You belong to him, so he will not ignore you. As for whether you can get out, I can’t say for sure…”

"However, I have considered that if you really get out of this predicament, you might really decide to investigate me for the rest of your life. After all, you are as shameless as I am, and you will take revenge for every little grievance... This is a bit risky." The third prince blinked his bright eyes, suddenly raised his hand, and called softly, "Linglong Jia!"

"brush!"

There was a flash of clear light, and a pair of inner armor worn by men, shining with dazzling light, appeared in the hands of the third prince.

He handed it to Ren Ye very casually, and said with a smile: "This thing was given to me by my father when I came of age, and I have never been willing to wear it. It can directly withstand three full-strength attacks from a peak fourth-rank person. I have said that it is difficult to find a true friend. If you can get away with it, then what I said at the banquet before is not a joke! I really want to... get rich with you! Of course, I don't want to bring the second brother."

what?

A treasure that can resist a fourth-grade peak divine power master, is he really going to give it to me?!

Ren Ye looked at Bao Jia in confusion and said speechlessly: "Have you ever seen a doctor...?"

"Two million plus a piece of armor, just to make my father smile, this is very unacceptable. You have to know that there is no prince in my southern border!" The third prince suddenly stared at Ren Ye with a clear gaze, and said word by word: "So, if this prince is not good... then he will lose his head. I borrowed it from you, so naturally I have to return it to you, this is fair."

Ren Ye looked into his clear and sharp eyes and slowly commented: "Lonely minister?! Apart from the emperor, who else in the world dares to call himself a lone minister?"

"Don't try me. You don't understand what's going on in Southern Xinjiang. I won't win even if I don't fight." The Third Prince waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After saying this, he came in mysteriously and left mysteriously without saying another word.

"Damn it, besides Tang Feng, this is another person I can't understand." Ren Ye looked at his back and shook his head slowly, "Why do I always attract these psychopaths?"

Even though he cursed, he completely understood the Third Prince's motives.

He is not the person in Nanjiang who wants to kill him...

……

At the end of the dungeon corridor.

The third prince's personal eunuch slapped the jailer on the face and asked quietly, "Who's here today?"

"Your Highness, Third Prince, by the Emperor's order..."

"Snapped!"

The eunuch listened halfway and without thinking, he immediately responded with another big pull: "Who's here?"

The jailer's face was red and swollen. After a moment of confusion, he said, "Sir, you represent the Third Prince..."

"Snapped!"

"Think again, who is here?!"

"......!" The prison boss looked at him with a look of despair, and said faintly: "No one came."

"Stretch out your hand!" the eunuch ordered.

The jailer stretched out his hand obediently.

"Wow!"

The eunuch placed a bag of star source in the other's hand and followed the third prince away.

The prison boss was silent for more than ten seconds, then he raised his palm and snorted at his own face: "I am so fucking stupid that I have to answer this question four or five times...!"

……

The next morning, the court was held in Taiji Hall.

After all the civil and military officials in the court stood still, the Minister of Justice stepped out of the queue, holding up a memorial and saying, "Your Majesty, I have arrested Bau last night. He confessed that the young prince tried to bribe him with money. This is Bau's confession."

"Present it." The old emperor waved his hand slightly.

Not long after, he finished reading the confession while sitting on the dragon chair, and Lord Chongshu, with a gloomy face, ordered: "Draft an edict."

"Yes!"

Lord Rat immediately spread out the imperial edict and wrote it on behalf of the emperor.

"I treated Prince Huai as a distinguished guest and wanted to grant him the status of an imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the case of Bulao Mountain. However, he secretly plotted to seize our southern border territory and bribed bandits to cultivate power in southern border. This is a heinous crime and he should be executed.

However, I am afraid that if I kill the young prince, it will bring about a natural disaster. So I sentence him to be exiled to the Styx, to repair the dam, and to serve as a slave.

Wait until his luck dissipates, then execute him."

The old emperor's voice slowly spread in the court. All the civil and military officials remained silent, and no one stepped forward to oppose it.

It's not that we won't kill, it's that we will wait until the luck is gone before killing. There is nothing wrong with this imperial decree.

Those in power throughout the ages would always treat people with great fortune with caution, let alone the little Prince Huai who inherited the legacy of the Human Emperor?

However, what everyone didn't know was that before the old emperor summoned Ren Ye, he had just received a memorial from Tongyou Envoy Yin Guang... and the other party said that Monk Peng, a confidant of Master Guanfeng, was about to go to Zhangzhou.

If you want to go to the realm of the Styx, you must pass through Zhangzhou.

After drafting an edict, the old emperor said expressionlessly: "The theft of the Fengyun stone slab and the Guanfeng case must be thoroughly investigated. My lords, do you have any candidates for the imperial envoy in mind?!"

The cabinet chief, Yao Qingshan, stepped out without hesitation and said, "I recommend the eldest prince as the imperial envoy..."
