Nine in the morning
Snow Land, Imperial City, Imperial Palace, Dragon Path
"Fourth Prince, it's not that I want to criticize you, but do you really think a brute like you can compete with me for the throne?"
The second prince chuckled as he stabbed his sword into the ground. Looking at the kneeling Fourth Imperial Prince, his smile became even more sinister.
"Ptui!"
The Fourth Prince, whose face was covered in blood, lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. He struggled to open his swollen eyes.
The only path out of the palace was already filled with officers dressed in dark green robes. Tong Huan, who was dressed in navy blue robes, stood half a step behind the second prince.
Their steel blades reflected a chilling light. None of the officers had any emotions on their faces. It was as if they weren't trying to kill the Fourth Imperial Prince, but a stray dog.
The Fourth Imperial Prince had a straightforward personality. He had also gone to the border battlefield under an alias. He was once praised by Zuo Zhenyun as the 'Valiant General'!
The Fourth Imperial Prince was close friends with Xiang Yang, Zuo Zhenzheng, and the other generals of the new generation. Most of the people supporting him were generals!
However, in terms of politics and schemes, the Second Prince, who was still standing at this moment, was clearly superior!
"Clap! Clap! Clap! "
The second prince loosened his grip on his sword and clapped his hands. "Fourth Prince, oh Fourth Prince, you're not suited to be an emperor. The battlefield is where you belong. As long as you're willing to swear an oath of loyalty to me, I'll let you go today. How about it?"
The smile on the second prince's face didn't change, but his heart was in turmoil.
He would never have thought that his boorish fourth brother had actually reached the Chaotic Realm without anyone noticing!
Bu Chen, Minute Subtlety, Nirvana, Primal Chaos, and Origin Opening!
These five realms were like heavenly moats to most people. But his fourth brother had reached the Primal Chaos Realm before the age of forty!
If he was given more time, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reach the Origin Opening Realm, which people called 'Earth Immortal'!
Thinking of this, the Second Prince looked at the Fourth Imperial Prince with a piercingly cold gaze.
If Tong Huan hadn't surrendered to him as soon as Tong Xin's death was confirmed, it would have been hard to say who would have won the ambush today!
"You never planned to work with me from the beginning?" The Fourth Imperial Prince lowered his head. His face could not be seen clearly. Drops of blood flowed down his cheeks.
The Second Prince narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Fourth Prince, I heard that you are known as the Valiant General. It seems that you do not intend to surrender today?"
The second prince waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling for Tong Huan to attack.
"Hiss …"
The Fourth Imperial Prince, who was half-kneeling on the ground, took a deep breath. His five broad fingers tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.
This was the sword he had snatched from a Nirvana Realm guard by crushing his neck with his bare hands. The number of guards who had died under this sword was close to three digits!
Apart from the battle against Ye Fanchen, this ambush on the Fourth Imperial Prince was the most serious loss the Archives had suffered in the past hundred years!
"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!"
The Second Prince suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at the Second Prince who was struggling to get up and said coldly, "Fourth Prince, don't struggle. There are three hundred guards here. Even if you still have the strength to fight, how long can you last with your injuries?"
"Kill you! That's enough! "
The Fourth Imperial Prince roared in a hoarse voice. His right hand, which was holding the sword, suddenly exerted strength. He actually managed to stand up!
"Anyone who dares to touch the Fourth Imperial Prince, die!"
Xiang Yang, who was wearing a flowery robe and carrying his blood-red spear, slowly appeared at the entrance of the Dragon Path.
Following behind Xiang Yang were more than 20 of the Xiang Clan's personal guards in silver armor!
Twenty against three hundred!
Even with such a huge difference in numbers, the bodyguards of the Xiang Clan still didn't show any fear on their faces. Their expressions didn't even change.
Compared to the bodyguards of the Xiang Clan, the three hundred guards of the Archives had a very serious expression on their faces.
These were all fierce people who had been in the border army. As the number one intelligence agency in the Snow Land, they naturally knew the details of the other party!
When these twenty people formed a battle formation, even if three thousand people gathered here, they might be killed, let alone three hundred of them!
Although the guards of the Archives were a little nervous, they wouldn't be so frightened by the other party. They all held their swords tightly and prepared for a bloody battle!
"Are you trying to scare me?"
Xiang Yang weighed his spear and said mockingly, "When I was at the border, I charged at thousands of troops of the Alien Race alone. You bunch of Yin Yang people want to scare me?"
The Xiang Clan didn't have the right to bring a large number of soldiers into the Imperial Palace, let alone the guts.
However, as the bodyguard of the Fourth Imperial Prince, Xiang Yang brought more than twenty soldiers to support the Fourth Imperial Prince. There was nothing wrong with that!
The corners of Tong Huan's mouth twitched slightly. He stretched out his hand to stop the restless Second Prince and muttered, "Your Highness, please don't be rash. Although this Xiang Yang isn't easy to deal with, the people he can bring are already limited! But this is the Imperial Palace. Our men in the Archives don't need to give face to the Golden Guards! "
The Second Prince's expression calmed down a little. He nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Quickly call for reinforcements. But don't kill that brat Xiang Yang. I still need him to negotiate with the Xiang Clan!"
It was one thing for the Xiang Clan to support the Fourth Imperial Prince, but the Fourth Imperial Prince was an outsider after all. Naturally, he wasn't as important to the Xiang Clan as Xiang Yang!
The Second Prince, who had already seen through this, didn't panic at all when he saw Xiang Yang. He even felt that Xiang Yang's appearance was an opportunity for him!
An opportunity for the Xiang Clan to support him!
With three out of the Six Ministries in his hands and the support of the Xiang Clan and the Archives, as long as Zuo Zhenyun didn't express his opinion as usual, even if the Emperor didn't want him to, he would still be able to get the throne!
Tong Huan nodded slightly and took out a small bamboo tube. After twisting the bottom of the tube, a signal flare flew into the sky and exploded!
Seeing that the situation was settled, the Second Prince raised his head and looked at the sky. His smile suddenly froze on his face.
Because what the signal flare exploded wasn't a call for reinforcements. Instead, it was a huge 'Heng' character!
That was the royal title given by the Imperial Palace after the First Prince established the Imperial Palace!
After thinking about it for a while, the Second Prince pushed the Second Prince away with a gloomy face and said coldly, "Tong Huan! You dog of a slave! How dare you scheme against me!? "
The Fourth Imperial Prince, Xiang Yang, and himself were already in deep trouble!
