Xiao Zheng listened to Ling Lai's words, but there was a slight surprise on his face, "Crown Prince Tian Xiong?"
Although Xiao Zheng was just an ordinary person, he still understood the inheritance rules of the Nihonese royal family. As long as the current emperor did not die, the crown prince would always be the crown prince. Unable to be promoted. Therefore, there were often 40 or even older crown princes who ascended the throne. If the son died but the father did not, the inheritance would have to change hands.
This was also why there were often dramas of crown princes forcing the emperor to abdicate in ancient times in Hua Xia. Not for anything else, but because they were impatient …
The crown prince of Nihonese, Tian Xiong. He was the current first in line to the throne. If there were no accidents, once the emperor passed away, the next emperor was destined to be in the pocket of Tian Xiong.
Xiao Zheng had no objection to this, but he was very curious why Ling Lai mentioned this person at this moment.
Slightly raising his eyes, Xiao Zheng looked at Ling Lai meaningfully.
"Eldest Brother is knowledgeable and well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He can be said to be the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of the royal family. Usually, he cares for a cousin who has no status like me. He is modest and polite. "Ling Lai's eyes fell on a cherry blossom, his expression euphemistic.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the brother and sister have a firm relationship."
The more he listened, the more he felt strange.
Suddenly mentioning the crown prince for no reason, Xiao Zheng believed that Ling Lai had a hint. It was not idle chatting for fun.
"Right. Mr. Xiao. "Ling Lai pushed the wheelchair and slowly turned around. "You suddenly came to see me. Do you have any instructions? "
"I don't dare to give instructions." Xiao Zheng said with a humble attitude. "I just want to find His Royal Highness to ask for some information."
"Go ahead." Princess Ling La said gently. "I will tell you everything I know."
Xiao Zheng nodded lightly. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Our Hua Xia side has lost contact with more than ten special forces soldiers on the outskirts of Tokyo. He had been missing for five days. I would like to ask Your Highness if you have any information about this. "
"Soldier Hua Xia?" Princess Ling La pretended to be surprised. "How did they appear in Japan?"
"I'm on duty," Xiao Zheng said concisely.
"Have you talked to the government or the military?" Princess Ling La smiled. "Mr Xiao, although we are friends, I am not your friend. But the relationship between Hua Xia and Japan has always been sensitive. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "We didn't greet each other. It's a secret mission. "
Princess Ling La smiled and said, "According to international law, it's normal for them to be killed by our army on the spot. Since they had lost contact for more than five days. It will be difficult to find any effective clues. "
Xiao Zheng slightly furrowed his brows. He pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, you're a member of the Imperial Family. Don't tell me you really haven't heard any news?"
Xiao Zheng knew that Ling Lai was an ambitious woman. She definitely knew most of the news that happened in Tokyo, including secrets. It would be a lie to say that she didn't receive any news at all.
But at this moment, Princess Ling La didn't seem to want to reveal too much. She even vetoed it immediately, cutting off Xiao Zheng's thoughts.
This made Xiao Zheng quite unhappy.
Could Ling Lai have come this far without his help? Did she have the confidence to kill Itō? Or to render meritorious service for the Imperial Family?
Upon seeing Xiao Zheng's unhappy face, Princess Ling La first Smile to appease Xiao Zheng. Then, after a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that I don't want you to get involved in this matter. It's because this matter involves a lot of people. A little bit of carelessness and you may be consigned to eternal damnation. "
"My men are already here." Xiao Zheng shrugged. "No, I won't find those soldiers. I won't leave. "
"What's the point?" Ling Lai sighed and said. "As a soldier, they should have the spirit of sacrificing their lives for the country. Since the mission failed, it's also tragic to die to atone for it. "
"They're soldiers, not slaves." Xiao Zheng didn't agree with Ling Lai's point of view. "Even if the mission failed, they should still be able to retreat. Their lives are their own first, followed by their families, and lastly, the country. "
Ling Lai was slightly startled. She immediately looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "Mr. Xiao is indeed a person who values friendship."
After a pause, she continued, "Mr. Xiao, I can tell you everything I know. But I still hope that you won't get involved. Stay in Tokyo for a few days and then lead the team to leave. Otherwise, I'm worried that you will be in danger. "
"Please speak," Xiao Zheng said calmly.
Ling Lai heard this and no longer pretended to be a villain. She calmly said, "That's right. Those Hua Xia soldiers are indeed controlled by the Japanese. I only learned about this two days ago. "
"What?" Xiao Zheng sharply asked. "The military?"
"There's the shadow of the military, but it's not completely the military," Ling Lai said slowly.
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng frowned. "Who else?"
"His Majesty the Emperor's younger brother, my little Imperial Uncle," Princess Ling La said with her lips pursed. "The person most likely to inherit the Emperor's throne."
Xiao Zheng's expression slightly changed. "Isn't your Eldest Brother the first heir?"
"As far as I know, in the ancient times of Hua Xia, there were countless emperors who weren't Crown Princes," Princess Ling La said meaningfully. "Perhaps the Japanese Imperial Family doesn't have as much power as they did at the beginning of the last century. But the current power is enough to prompt people to fight openly and covertly. "
Xiao Zheng was from Hua Xia and had been influenced by these things since he was a child. Coupled with his experiences over the years, he completely understood the position of the little Imperial Uncle that Ling Lai mentioned.
He had a high position and power, but the title was not legitimate!
"Itō was Imperial Uncle's guest. It was also because of his appearance that the Imperial Family turned a blind eye to the affair between Itō and my mother. Now that Itō is dead, Imperial Uncle has no choice but to — "Princess Ling La said meaningfully. "Develop new allies."
"Are you saying that the missing soldiers were kidnapped by the military and your Imperial Uncle?" Xiao Zheng frowned.
"Yes." Princess Ling La nodded and said slowly. "As far as I know, Imperial Uncle Miyamoto even sent out the Imperial Guards. Assist the military in this fishing operation. "
"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief. "What does Miyamoto get out of doing this?"
"No direct benefits," Princess Ling La said, shaking her head. "But he provided the military with the whereabouts of Hua Xia's warriors, including the time, location, and the target mission. The ultimate goal is to get the military secrets of Hua Xia from the leader of this special force. "
"With this, the military owes Imperial Uncle Miyamoto a big favor. It will also increase his chances of winning the throne in the future, "Ling Lai said concisely.
In just a few words, he had described the darkness and cruelty of the Imperial Family.
The uncle and nephew, who were supposed to live in harmony, fought openly and secretly for the right to the throne, and even formed a clique for personal gain. Disrupting the program. It was truly frightening.
