The thing that the third prince is most worried about now is that after His Highness Prince Chen announces Xia Jingzhi's confession, Emperor Chu will kill him in anger.
The defeat has been decided, and the third prince has no way to recover.
At this moment, I heard that the middle-aged man in white robe had a way to "resurrect the dead". Although he remained calm on the surface, he was still longing for it in his heart.
Let me ask, who in this world wants to die?
The higher the cultivation level of a warrior and the higher the status of a person, the less they want to die.
Let me ask, who is willing to give up the power and rights in his hands?
So when he heard that the middle-aged man in white robe had a way to keep him alive, the third prince couldn't help but ask about the way.
The middle-aged man in white robe smiled mysteriously and stared at the third prince, "In your eyes, what kind of person is Emperor Chu?"
The third prince's eyes trembled, he thought about it seriously, and said: "One emperor through the ages."
"No, no, no..." The middle-aged man in white robe shook his head repeatedly, "The current Emperor of Chu was indeed quite talented and strategic when he was young, but as he entered his old age, he became indecisive, hesitant, and did not dare to make decisions."
When the third prince heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows in anger and raised his sword eyebrows, "How dare you slander Emperor Chu? Do you know that just by your words, you can die ten times?"
The middle-aged man in white robe disagreed, "Your Highness, listen to what I have to say. For the people of the Chu State, they have been suppressed by the imperial power and have no power to resist. But for us foreign warriors, they can see the Chu State at a glance.
The problem lies.”
"This is the truth behind the saying that the authorities are blind to the beholder."
The middle-aged man in white robe paused and continued: "Emperor Chu is not a wise king. This is not my opinion alone. I believe many people can see it."
"Master Langhou must have noticed it too."
The third prince was silent when he heard this.
The middle-aged man in white robe continued: "So it is actually very easy for Your Highness to find a way out of Emperor Chu's hands."
The third prince asked: "How can I find a way to survive?"
The middle-aged man in white robe said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, His Highness King Chen will definitely hand over Xia Jingzhi's confession on the birthday of Emperor Chu, in order to force Emperor Chu to deal with the matter seriously."
The third prince's face turned livid, "If this is really the case, in order to save the face of Chu State, my father will definitely punish this matter severely, and I will definitely die."
"Not necessarily." The middle-aged man in white robe shook his head and said: "As long as the third prince remembers, no matter what kind of evidence His Highness Prince Chen presents on his birthday, the third prince only needs to deny it."
"Put all the blame on Xia Jingzhi."
"And be sure to cry out loudly to show that all these things have nothing to do with you and were all done by one of Xia Jing's people!"
The third prince glanced sideways at the white-robed middle-aged man and said, "My father will not believe it."
The middle-aged man in white robe said with a smile: "Whether Emperor Chu believes it or not is not important. What is important is to give Emperor Chu a step down and let him think about this matter carefully."
The third prince frowned and asked, "But... the evidence is irrefutable."
The middle-aged man in white robe said: "We have just said... Emperor Chu is not a wise king, so what if there is a mountain of ironclad evidence?"
"As long as His Highness the Third Prince refuses to admit it, Emperor Chu will definitely think of the flesh and blood family ties, so he will suppress the matter with all his strength and talk about it later."
"Isn't this how the eldest prince and the second prince died back then?"
"At first Emperor Chu was extremely angry, but in the end it was settled."
The third prince narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking seriously, "But this time is different. The death of the eldest prince and the second prince was, after all, the result of internal deliberations in the Chu Kingdom. But this time His Highness King Chen wanted to present ironclad evidence on his birthday.
This is completely different.”
The middle-aged man in white robe laughed again, "That's why His Highness the Third Prince must clear up all relationships before his birthday and put all the faults on Xia Jingzhi."
"As for you... just accept some minor and not serious sins."
"For example, there are sins such as 'treating others unkindly', such as 'poor discipline'."
"As long as you avoid being killed on your birthday, won't His Highness the Third Prince be able to survive?"
The third prince felt that what the middle-aged man in white robe said was reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, "But even so, I have lost the fight for the throne."
"When His Highness Prince Chen ascends to the throne of God, he will never let me go."
"Survive first." The middle-aged man in white robe said: "As long as you can avoid the birthday massacre, with His Highness's many years of hard work in the imperial capital, can't you still have a fight with His Highness Prince Chen?"
The middle-aged man in white robe looked at His Highness the Third Prince with a smile, "I got news from Tianji Pavilion. I heard that His Highness has already ordered several military kings who support you to try his best to build magical weapons. It seems that he is preparing for a war.
.”
"Your Highness seems to have prepared for the worst."
"As long as we can survive the birthday, we can also contribute some strength to what we have to do next."
The third prince looked sideways at the middle-aged man in white robe, "You guys?"
The young man in the white robe smiled and said: "This is not the first time that Your Highness has cooperated with our Jiuyou Demon Palace, so why do you need to pretend?"
The third prince's face was gloomy, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Cooperating with the Nine Nether Demon Palace was a helpless move for the third prince.
The origin of this matter is very far back, almost before the poisoning of the eldest prince and the second prince. At that time, the third prince was still an unpopular prince.
At that time, Jiuyou Demon Palace sent people to find the third prince and expressed its intention to support the third prince to rise and become the emperor of Chu.
The third prince was very unpopular back then, and under the aura of the eldest prince and the second prince, he looked extremely mediocre.
But who in this world can refuse the supreme imperial throne?
It was also under the bewitchment of the Nine Nether Demon Palace that the third prince became murderous and used Xia Jing's poison to kill the eldest prince and the second prince.
It was also under the bewitchment of the Nine Nether Demon Palace that the third prince designed and framed the twelfth prince.
With the help of Jiuyou Demon Palace, the third prince became more and more favored in Chu country.
But before the third prince could be happy, the Nine Nether Demon Palace began to spy on Chu State's intelligence and asked the third prince to help fish people out of purgatory.
Because of this, the third prince secretly cultivated the dark son in purgatory.
But the Nine Nether Demon Palace wanted more and more, and the third prince knew that he would only sink deeper and deeper in the long run. He gradually felt that he had become a pawn at the mercy of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Whenever the third prince wanted to leave, Jiuyou Demon Palace would threaten him.
After all, Jiuyou Demon Palace has nothing to fear, but once the news of the third prince's cooperation with Jiuyou Demon Palace is exposed, the third prince's life will come to an end.
Just like this...it took the third prince almost a thousand years to gradually escape from the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
If it weren't for this battle in the mountains and forests of the eastern suburbs, the third prince would have been desperate, and he would never have let "February" go to stop Lin Bai.
But he didn't expect that even so, he still couldn't stop Lin Bai.
