Chapter 1735 - 576: Too Late
Governor of Fei, East, Wu, Xiang, Ning, Huai, and Han, although the military deployment is temporary, as long as His Highness occupies these places, the court will have no say in the future. As long as the Northern Territory Governor’s Mansion is still there, and Qin Muge is still there, His Majesty wouldn’t dare make a move against His Highness.""How could I not know?"
Prince Xiang Xuan Jianwen held a teacup, his eyes vacant as he blew on the tea leaves. "But what kind of person is my royal nephew? I truly have no doubt in my disbelief.
He has the temperament of a real jackal and the heart of a snake! Ruthless and unscrupulous, he kills brothers, slays wives, extinguishes sons, to the point of extreme brutality. Even if I occupy Jiangnan, he may not be my match; I’m not confident. On the contrary, the letter sent to me by Chu Xisheng the day before has moved my heart."
The eyes of Daoist White Eyebrow suddenly flashed with a strange gleam.
He had also seen the letter Chu Xisheng sent to Prince Xiang.
Compared to the conditions set by His Majesty, Chu Xisheng’s promises were more tempting.
As long as Prince Xiang is willing to raise the flag and march north to replace Daning, Chu Xisheng is willing to have the Formless Divine Sect and Xing Xiu Divine Sect guarantee, agreeing with Prince Xiang, to rule the river and don’t start a war within three years!
And even if Daning falls in the future, as long as Prince Xiang doesn’t resist stubbornly, Chu Xisheng won’t take his life. He can allow the Daning Royal Family to sail overseas, preserving their bloodline outside the Divine Continent.
The key is that the messenger named ’Fang Bu Yuan’ was sharp and convincing, making them have to believe.
The current Emperor Jianyuan acts against the grain, losing the hearts of the people, so the current Divine Sects and Demon Sects, aristocratic families, have shown signs of departure.
Even for certain reasons, even the Heavenly Gods have abandoned him.
However, those Eternal Gods and many forces of the Divine Continent may not want to see the Formless Divine Sect dominate alone, nor would they want to see Chu Xisheng replace Daning and reign over the Divine Continent.
If Prince Xiang sends troops north now, he will surely receive strong support from all parties, and the Heluo Two States will surely bow to him.
If three years later, Prince Xiang can rectify the court and mobilize all forces, then perhaps he can have a decisive battle with Chu Xisheng.
Therefore, not just Prince Xiang, but even these advisors feel it is very reasonable.
It must be known that the current Wang’an City is extremely under-manned.
Although Chu Xisheng didn’t offer as generous terms as Emperor Jianyuan, it was even harder for them to refuse.
Especially the promise to allow the Daning Royal Family to sail overseas struck a vital chord with Prince Xiang.
Daoist White Eyebrow couldn’t deny that the Infinite Blade Lord was far more trustworthy than Emperor Jianyuan; much more trustworthy!
In the current world, who doesn’t know that the Infinite Blade Lord is known for his generosity and chivalry, always keeping his promises?
As for Emperor Jianyuan, ha—his words are not only untrustworthy but also chilling.
People act under heaven’s watch; having done so much evil, payback is due sooner or later.
"So, Your Highness is planning to heed the Infinite Blade Lord’s advice?"
"I have not made a decision yet."
Prince Xiang Xuan Jianwen shook his head, sipping tea while looking at the great river to the east; "Let’s see first, if there’s an opportunity, it’s not out of the question for us to march east."
As Prince Xiang Xuan Jianwen gazed eastward, seven thousand miles away at Ba County City Tower, Wan Fengqing sat expressionlessly in her study, facing a man in black.
"Did His Highness truly say that?"
"The seal of His Highness cannot be false!"
The man in black was shrouded in dark mist, revealing only chilling eyes: "In a day, His Highness will march south to Ba County, and by then, Master Wan Qing will initiate actions to support and help His Highness capture this city. Also, please send a hand-written sealed letter back to Prince Xiang."
Wan Fengqing, however, remained silent as she caressed a token inside her sleeve.
Wan Fengqing’s strong spiritual sense could clearly perceive the writing on the token.
"Renew the heart, forgive the past—Chu Xisheng."
Wan Fengqing let out a light sigh, her eyes nostalgically gazing out the window.
The man in black assumed she was hesitating and smiled, urging her: "Rest assured, sir, His Highness has gained support from all sides. At that time, up and down Shenxiu River, over a dozen individuals will initiate actions alongside you, including two of your colleagues, ensuring His Highness sweeps through Jiangnan."
"Colleagues? Are you referring to the Dragon Guards beside my Flag Leader?"
Wan Fengqing laughed upon hearing this.
The laughter contained sarcasm, contemplation, and helplessness: "It’s too late, really too late—"
—it’s really too late!
Now, she has become one of the Twelve Dragon Guards beside the Flag Leader, and not to mention the high official rewards of a future First Grade General and Duke,
just following the Flag Leader, with prospects of breaking through to super-grade in the future, already makes her unable to let go.
The news of His Highness, Prince Xiang, was delayed, unaware that the Flag Leader’s Dragon Energy had undergone significant changes—
Wan Fengqing doesn’t know what choices others might make, but she is certain about the other Dragon Guards—
How could they bear to abandon the Flag Leader?
Wan Fengqing slightly shook her head, looking at the man in black before her.
She spoke coldly, spitting out a number: "Take down this spy traitor!"
As her words fell, the walls to her sides shattered explosively. Hundreds of Armored Soldiers appeared, each holding a ’Four-Armed Gods Crossbow,’ shooting at the direction of the man in black.
