Zhao Hai and Fatty slept in the same tent. This kind of tent was very large and could accommodate ten people. Naturally, Zhao Hai and the others wouldn't sleep separately. This way, they could take care of each other at night.
Zhao Hai had already dealt with Guan Yunfei's body and directly buried it in the woods, so there was no need to worry about it being seen. After dealing with the corpses, Zhao Hai took out the leftover food that he and Fatty ate at the Food and Taste Residence. They hadn't eaten these dishes in a while. In any case, they didn't need to worry about them spoiling in the Space. Because of this, the two of them didn't eat anything tonight. Now that they were hungry, they took out the leftover food.
After eating, the two of them didn't immediately go to rest. Instead, they sat around the fire. Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Old Zhao, what are we going to do next?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We're going to the Hai Province. I don't think Guan Yunfei and the others would do this just to kill us. They should also want to go to the Hai Province. In any case, we're just going to have fun."
Fatty nodded, then he looked at the carriages and said, "But what about the carriages? What about the horses? "
It must be said that Guan Yunfei and the others left behind a lot of things. There were six carriages, forty horses, as well as tents and other things. These things were worth a lot of money.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter. We'll put the carriages in the Space. We'll just drive the horses. After we reach the front, we'll look for a small town and sell the horses."
Fatty didn't object. Then his eyes couldn't help but light up as he said, "Old Zhao, what do you think about the two of us being bandits? I found out that robbing really makes a lot of money. These carriages are worth a lot of money. If we include the things in the carriages, then they'll be even more valuable. What do you think? "
Zhao looked at the fat man and smiled wryly. "Well, you dare to think about being a bandit. If people find out about this, I don't care. I'm just the owner of a small shop, and I used to be an adventurer. But you are a dignified prince. If people find out that a prince like you is going to be a bandit, I think you will be laughed at to death."
Fatty smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? This is the Thick Earth Continent, not the Arctic Continent. There's nothing to worry about. Nobody knows me here. Even if I rob someone, who would know that I did it?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Fatty to have such thoughts. Fatty looked at Zhao Hai, he smiled and said, "What? You can't believe it? I don't have any other choice. My family kicked me out, and I don't have a lot of money. I can only make money myself. But you should know that I'm a Prince. I've never thought about making money before. Now that you suddenly want me to make money, I don't know how to do it. It's better to just rob, it's the easiest way. "
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and asked, "Your family sent you out to train, but didn't they teach you how to make money? If you don't know how to do anything, how can you survive outside? "
The fat man smiled and said, "Of course, the family won't teach you that. They just want to see how you survive in this kind of situation. It doesn't matter if you steal or rob, but if you really can't get any money and starve yourself to death, the family will send someone to take you home. But once you return home, you will be punished and can only be an idle prince. You won't be able to do anything."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "So it's like that. That's interesting. But Fatty, I have something to tell you. I should have told you earlier, but I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me. Now, I think I should tell you, lest you fall into someone else's trap."
Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "What's the matter? You're afraid that I won't believe you? How can I not believe you? "
Zhao Hai replied, "You should know that we encountered pirates at sea. After that, Captain Long and I analyzed the situation. That incident didn't seem to be a coincidence. Captain Long has been sailing on the sea all year round, so he knows all the pirates there. He even has some friendship with them. But the pirates that attacked us last time, he didn't know any of them. Moreover, those pirates didn't seem like they came to rob us. They came to destroy our ships as soon as they came, it seems like they came specifically to kill us. Captain Long also discovered that when those pirates fought with them, their main target seemed to be you." Zhao Hai nodded, then said, "That's right.
When Fatty heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Old Zhao, what do you mean? Explain it clearly."
Although Fatty's face was still puzzled, Zhao Hai could see a trace of fear in his eyes. It was obvious that Fatty wasn't as ignorant as he appeared to be. On the contrary, it was very likely that he had guessed something.
However, Zhao Hai acted as if he didn't see it, then he continued, "Before you boarded Captain Long's ship, those people had already boarded. I think they must have made an agreement with someone to attack us together. This way, they could kill all of us at sea. Who knows, in less than two days, we would be eaten by sea beasts, not even leaving a single bone behind. But it's clear that whether it was me or the other people on the ship, they didn't use this method to kill us. If they wanted to kill us for money, then they wouldn't have destroyed the ship. But now, they didn't do it for money, they just wanted to kill us.
Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You mean to say that those pirates were specifically targeting me? But why?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and said, "I don't know. Perhaps it's because of your identity. Your identity has blocked some people's path, so they want to kick you away. But no matter what, Fatty, you have to be careful. If they can kill you in the sea, then they might chase you to the Thick Earth Continent. Although this isn't the Arctic Continent, it's still inconvenient for them to do things here. But don't forget that you don't have any help from your family. So it's much easier for them to deal with you. You just said that if you run out of money to eat, then your family can take you home. In other words, it's possible that your family will be watching over you and protecting you. But what if this person is bribed?" Then they wouldn't be protecting you, they would be trying to take your life. Your whereabouts would be known, and when the time comes, you would be in even more danger. "
Fatty turned silent, then he sighed and said, "I understand what you're saying, but I don't have a way to deal with it. You know my situation, so what can I do? Use my family's power? For people like me who come out to train, if I return to the clan within the stipulated time, I will be severely punished. In that case, I will also lose everything I have. If I don't return, then I will be in danger outside. "
At this point, the fatty paused and sighed, "At that time, it was precisely because I didn't want to be hunted down and was afraid of danger that I left the Ice Ocean Continent in the shortest time possible. I didn't expect that I would still be attacked at sea. Old Zhao, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. The ones who attacked me were most likely my brothers."
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty's appearance and faintly smiled, "I can almost guess it. But Fatty, why would your brothers attack you? From what you said, you should be very low-key at home. Moreover, they are your brothers, so they have no reason to attack you. Their succession should be higher than yours, right? "
Fatty bitterly smiled and said, "The problem is that our Yu Family doesn't choose the Crown Prince based on succession. In fact, my brother was originally the Crown Prince, but he died of illness when I was fifteen. After that, the position of Crown Prince of the Ice Jade Country has been empty. My brothers all wanted to fight for the position of Crown Prince. I originally didn't want to fight for it, so my performance was very ordinary. I didn't even dare to let go of my cultivation, eating and sleeping every day, making myself this fat. But who told me to be the Eighth Prince? Maybe you don't know what the Eighth Prince means to the Ice Jade Country, but to the people of the Imperial Family, we all know what the Eighth Prince means to the Ice Jade Country."
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty with some confusion, not knowing what Fatty meant. Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "If I tell you this, you should understand. In the past twenty generations of the Ice Jade Country's King, the Eighth Prince has become the King sixteen times. The reason why there were four times was not because the Eighth Prince became the King of the Ice Jade Country. Two times were because the Eighth Prince's body wasn't good and he died of illness. The other two times were because there wasn't an Eighth Prince, but an Eighth Princess. Now you understand what I mean."
When Zhao Hai heard Fatty say this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Then he said with some surprise, "So strange? Doesn't that mean that your Ice Jade Country's throne has been monopolized by the Eighth Prince? "
Fatty smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. Because my Imperial Father was the Eighth Prince back then and his performance was very ordinary. Everyone thought that he wouldn't be able to become the King, but in the end, he became the King. Now that I'm the Eighth Prince, I'm also very ordinary. Besides eating and drinking, I don't seem to have done anything. But even so, I'm still the biggest threat in their eyes. Even if I was in the Imperial Palace, nobody would dare to do anything. I heard that back then, my Big Brother didn't really die of illness, but because of some small tricks, my Imperial Father bestowed death upon him. Therefore, I'm absolutely safe in the Imperial Palace. But everyone in the Yu Family has to come out for training. Once I leave the Imperial Palace, I'll be in danger."
