As the world's number one bandit, Taihang Mountain Stronghold's strength was comparable to some of the top forces in Jianghu. When King Lu, Ji Yanchang, wanted to find reinforcements in Jianghu, the first place he thought of was Taihang Mountain Stronghold, which was closest to Shengjing City.
However, in the face of Ji Yanchang's goodwill, the unruly bandits of the 36 Saber Halls had a different opinion.
The one dressed like a scholar was the Twelfth Saber Hall's' Yin Sifting Blade ', Han Gonchou. He was very supportive of helping Ji Yanchang ascend to the throne.
The one who had spoken earlier was the Third Saber Hall's' Yama King ', Bu Qianlong. He was an unruly and irritable man, but he was very strong.
Among the 36 Saber Halls, the Twelve Saber Hall's Hall Masters were all Harmonious Spirit realm experts. Only they had the right to speak.
However, the opinions of these people were very different, and they were arguing endlessly in the hall.
Ke Yanyue, who was sitting in the seat of honor, had a dark expression on his face. He slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! All of you, shut up! "
In the Taihang Mountain Stronghold, Ke Yanyue's prestige was unparalleled. It could be said that the Taihang Mountain Stronghold with Ke Yanyue was the number one bandit in the world. Without Ke Yanyue, the Taihang Mountain Stronghold was just a group of loose bandits.
Therefore, seeing Ke Yanyue's anger, everyone in the hall kept quiet, not daring to say another word.
Ke Yanyue stroked the beard on his chin and said, "I have thought about this matter carefully. Taihang Mountain Stronghold has done many things over the years. It is time to find a backer.
To be honest, I did not take those bald donkeys of Shaolin Temple seriously. We have been in Henan Province for so long, and those bald donkeys have not been able to do anything to us.
However, after the battle in Shengjing City, I have learned the true strength of Shaolin Temple. Tsk tsk, forget about that old monk Xuan Ku, that Xuan Zhen from the Hall of Scriptures is not to be trifled with.
Because of the Good Fortune Gate, Shaolin Temple doesn't dare to act rashly. But if one day, something unexpected happens and Shaolin Temple decides to attack our Taihang Mountain Village, we won't be able to withstand it with our current strength! "
Bu Qianlong coldly snorted and said, "If those bald donkeys from the Shaolin Temple dare to come, then we will definitely die together with you. Even if we all die in the end, we will still break a few teeth from the Shaolin Temple!"
Ke Yanyue sighed and said, "The men of Taihang are not afraid of death. I know this.
However, so many brothers have come to seek refuge with me, so I have no choice but to give you a way out.
Go and help Ji Yanchang seize the throne. It's decided. Ji Fangge and Bu Qianlong, you two will lead the elites of Taihang Mountain Stronghold to Shengjing City! "
"Yes, Stronghold Master."
A devilishly handsome man with a Goose Feather Saber on his waist stood up. He was the leader of the Second Saber Hall of Taihang Mountain Village, second only to Ke Yanyue, 'Fiend Saber' Ji Fangge.
Although Bu Qianlong was a little unwilling, Ke Yanyue had already spoken, so he had no choice but to follow her orders.
At this time, in Shengjing City, Su Xin was biding his time, but he had already ordered the secret agents of the Intelligence Bureau to keep an eye on the movements of the Jianghu.
At the same time, the princes in Shengjing City had already made their move. In advance, Su Xin had already sent people to inform the people and merchants in the city to be careful. It would be best not to go out for the next month, lest they were accidentally injured.
Although the princes were fighting for the throne, this time it was not a fight to the death.
If it was a fight in the dark, they might resort to all kinds of methods. With their pitiful familial ties, they would even kill their own brothers without hesitation.
Therefore, the damage caused by the princes this time was much smaller. Everyone knew their limits and did not kill them all. As long as they obtained the tokens in each other's hands, it would be fine. Otherwise, if anyone's methods were too excessive, they were afraid of angering Ji Xuanyuan and the others and directly depriving them of the right to participate in the fight for the throne.
After three days, Su Xin called Huang Bingcheng over and asked, "Those princes have pretty much revealed their trump cards, right? How many of them are the strongest? "
Huang Bingcheng nodded and said, "Should be about right. Among the princes, there are five who are the strongest. Prince Wu, Ji Yanting, Prince Yu, Ji Yanshan, Prince Lu, Ji Yanchang, Prince Shu, Ji Yanxiu, and Prince Chen, Ji Yande.
Among them, Prince Shu, Ji Yanxiu, and Prince Lu, Ji Yanchang are the forces that they have cultivated themselves. However, Prince Lu, Ji Yanchang, is not strong enough, so he has sent people to contact Taihang Mountain Stronghold.
Behind Prince Wu, Ji Yanting, is Xi Jian Pavilion. This time, Xi Jian Pavilion sent five Harmonious God Realm elites to help Prince Wu. They want to use the power of the Zhou Kingdom to help Xi Jian Pavilion become one of the Five Sword Sects. "
Su Xin nodded in understanding. He knew about Xi Jian Pavilion. It was also a force with Yang God Realm experts in the Jianghu.
Now that Qingcheng sword school had been destroyed for so long, there were naturally many sword sects waiting to take the position of the Five Sword Sects.
Xi Jian Pavilion was not weak in the past. It could be considered a top force in the Jianghu. However, compared to the Five Sword Sects, they were too weak.
There was no need to talk about Shu Jian Pavilion. They had a special position. Even if they did not have any Yang God Realm warriors, they would still be one of the Five Sword Sects.
Mingjian Villa was the leader of the Five Sword Sects. Although Qingcheng sword school was mediocre, there were still a few Yang God Realm warriors in the sect. Although Sword God Mountain did not have many people, their combat power was shocking. They did not dare to challenge them.
The only one that had declined among the Five Sword Sects was the Sword Fighting Sect.
When the Sword Fighting Sect was heavily injured, Xi Jian Pavilion had also been tempted. They wanted to take the opportunity to become one of the Five Sword Sects.
However, just as the Xi Jian Pavilion was about to make a move, Meng Jingxian had already appeared. She single-handedly supported the Sword Fighting Sect with her sword. Her might was unparalleled, causing countless people to tremble in fear. This naturally included the Xi Jian Pavilion.
Now, after waiting for such a long time, Xi Jian Pavilion had finally waited for Qingcheng sword school to be destroyed. Therefore, this time, Xi Jian Pavilion was ready to go all out. They wanted to use the power of the Zhou Kingdom to step into the position of one of the Five Sword Sects.
Huang Bingcheng continued, "Prince Yu, Ji Yanshan, is backed by the Runan Shangguan family. This time, the Shangguan family does not want to get involved in the internal strife of the Zhou Kingdom. They just want to get rid of the imperial court's targeting of them."
Su Xin also knew the situation of the Runan Shangguan family. Other than being unlucky, Su Xin did not know what to say.
At that time, Shangguan Feiyun of the Shangguan family only wanted to use a conspiracy to trick the people of Medicine King Valley to strengthen the power of the Shangguan family. However, he should not have used the excuse of stopping Su Xin to complete his plan.
Su Xin did not care. Shangguan Feiyun knew when to advance and retreat. After losing, he naturally retreated. However, he hindered Ji Haodian's great plan of longevity, which made Ji Haodian very angry. He directly asked the people of Runan to target the Shangguan family, which caused a lot of trouble for them during this time.
The most serious problem was that Ji Haodian was dead now, so the chief of detectives and the chief supervisor of the army of Runan County did not get the order from their superiors to stop. They still targeted the Shangguan Clan in all aspects, which also made the people of the Shangguan Clan depressed.
At this time, the Shangguan family could not fight back. Once they fought back, it would be a sensitive time for the imperial court. The imperial court could not retaliate against the Good Fortune Gate and the Xiao family, but would they not dare to retaliate against the Shangguan family?
Therefore, this time, the Shangguan family had to choose to intervene in the battle for the throne of the Zhou Kingdom, striving to support one person to ascend to the throne and lift the blockade of the Shangguan family. At the same time, they could also let the Shangguan family and the Zhou Kingdom cooperate in some areas to obtain greater benefits.
Huang Bingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "As for the last Prince of Chen, Ji Yande, his strength is very weak, and his ability is even weaker. However, I do not know when Tang Xian stood on his side and was ready to support Ji Yande to ascend to the throne.
The old eunuch now controls a group of experts in the Imperial Palace. Their strength is also not weak, and they also have the home advantage, so Ji Yande's strength is not weak. "
Su Xin raised his eyebrows. This old eunuch really took action.
In the past, with Ji Haodian, he was not qualified and dared not to participate in the battle between the princes.
But now that Ji Haodian was dead, he needed to find a new backer.
"Boss, do we make our move now?" Huang Bingcheng asked.
Su Xin leaned back on the chair and said indifferently, "Don't be anxious. We will make our move when someone is forced into a corner. Otherwise, if we rush to help, some people will not care."
Huang Bingcheng nodded in understanding. Since the lord had a plan, there was no problem.
At this moment, the experts of the Shu King Ji Yanxiu's residence in Shengjing City had already gathered together. Including Wen Yu, there were five Harmonious Spirit Realm experts in the entire Shu King Ji Yanxiu's residence, and more than thirty Transformed Spirit Realm experts.
In the past few days, the Shu King Ji Yanxiu had started to test the strength of the other princes. They did not expect that the princes would be so weak that they could easily snatch two of their tokens.
The subordinates of the two princes could not withstand a single blow. In the end, they could only take the initiative to hand over the tokens. Moreover, they hoped that Ji Yanxiu would give them wealth and let them be idle Master after he ascended to the throne, seeing that they were brothers.
These two battles also made Ji Yanxiu's subordinates very excited. Their morale was greatly boosted. It was as if they could see themselves following Ji Yanxiu after he ascended to the throne.
But at this moment, Wen Yu frowned and said, "Your Highness, we mustn't be too complacent. You must know that the other princes aren't weak either. Prince Wu, Ji Yanting, has people from Xi Jian Pavilion behind him. Prince Yu, Ji Yanshan, also has people from the Shangguan Clan behind him. Even that Prince Chen, Ji Yande, has recently received the support of the Chief Minister of the Imperial Household, Tang Xian.
Compared to these people, our strength is still a little too weak. Right now, they are all like us, picking on the soft persimmons to bully. In these few days, those soft persimmons should be finished. Next, it will be our turn, as the weakest force.
Therefore, Your Highness, it is better for you to make preparations. It is best to invite Su Xin, Lord Su, here. Only then will we have absolute confidence to resist and defeat those princes. "
