Wuchuan Weng, in Taiyi Daoguo realm, has practiced for eleven thousand years.
As he said, he has been serving the Chu royal family all his life.
He came to Tianji Pavilion as a weapon refiner very early. Prince Chu Liang, who was not the Emperor of Chu at that time, came to Tianji Pavilion many times to ask him to refine treasures.
After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar.
later.
Before the Chu Emperor's 10,000th birthday, the five princes fought to seize the direct heir and turned the world upside down.
In the end, Prince Chu Liang, who was not yet the Emperor of Chu, defeated the other four princes and became the crown prince with the help of Xiao Cangsheng and a group of strong men.
On the 10,000th birthday of the Chu Emperor, the old Chu Emperor announced that Chu Liang would take over the Chu Kingdom.
At this point, the Chu Kingdom changed dynasties, and Chu Liang became the emperor.
After he became the Emperor of Chu, he thanked Mr. Wu Chuan many times for refining weapons for him. With his support, Mr. Wu Chuan's skill in weapon refining improved day by day, and he eventually became the chief weapon refiner of Tianji Pavilion step by step.
Wu Chuanweng said slowly: "Five thousand years after Emperor Chu ascended the throne, the world was at peace, with no internal troubles and no external worries. At this time, Emperor Chu can concentrate on cultivating the next generation of successors."
"So the Emperor of Chu recruited a large number of harems, and later there were the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and many other princes."
"These princes like to come and ask me to refine some gadgets for them."
"Refining toys for them when they were young, and refining magical weapons for them when they grow up!"
"I am relatively familiar with several princes."
"But among the princes, the one who amazes me the most is...the seventh prince!"
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and saw that the seventh prince was His Highness King Chen.
Kirikawa Weng exclaimed: "The seventh prince is extremely smart and has extraordinary talents. He possesses the 'Sky Eyes' that can see through the dangers of the world and understand the changes in the world."
"In terms of martial arts talent, he is the most outstanding among many princes."
"Even the eldest prince, second prince, third prince, eighth prince, and twelfth prince are no match for him."
"..."
"That year, the seventh prince's mother and concubine brought him to me. He was only six years old, but he gave me a problem that I have not yet solved."
"At that time, I knew that the Seventh Prince was no ordinary person."
Lin Bai asked curiously: "What's the problem?"
Kirikawa smiled and said: "He said, please let me refine a sword that can cut off the world, and then refine a shield for him that can block all the attacks in the world."
"I asked him why he wanted to refine these two things."
"He said...he would use that indestructible sword to cut down that indestructible shield."
"I told him that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. There is no absolutely indestructible sword in this world, and there is no absolutely indestructible shield."
"But he said... he didn't believe it."
"He insists that there must be a sword that can crush everything in the world, and there must be an indestructible shield!"
"He also told me...he would definitely find the sword and the shield, and then bring them back to me to prove it."
When Mr. Kirikawa said this, he smiled sarcastically.
He said to Lin Bai: "At that time, his eyes were clear and deep, just like a starry sky, dark and silent yet shining and charming."
"I don't know if he has found the sword that can cut everything in the world after so many years, or if he has found an indestructible shield."
Lin Bai sat by the pool and chatted with Mr. Wu Chuan about many old things from those years.
He has been working for the royal family all his life, and most of the memories in his mind are related to the royal family.
Lin Bai asked: "Since His Highness Prince Chen is so outstanding, why did the eldest prince and the second prince die first? Why didn't they deal with the seventh prince first?"
Mr. Kirikawa chuckled and said: "The reason is simpler."
"If you saw His Highness King Chen from a thousand years ago, you would understand."
"Although His Highness Prince Chen possesses unparalleled martial arts talent, his thoughts are not at all within the court and the Chu Kingdom."
"As he said...he just wants to find the sword that can cut everything in the world and the indestructible shield. He is not very interested in other things."
"He doesn't take the throne seriously at all."
"This is one of the reasons, because His Highness King Chen was not interested in the throne at that time."
"A person who has no interest in the throne cannot be a threat."
"There is a second reason."
"The eldest prince and the second prince are the elders of the princes, and their martial arts talents are not inferior to His Highness Prince Chen."
"The most important thing is... they have the Chen family and the Holy Lotus Palace as their backers."
"As long as the Chen family and the Holy Lotus Palace are willing to contribute, everyone will know that the future status will be either the eldest prince or the second prince!"
"The eldest prince and the second prince have naturally become the target of public criticism."
Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, and then understood the intricate relationship.
Mr. Kirikawa continued: "Later, after the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, almost all of their disciples and capable people gathered under the command of the seventh prince, and encouraged the seventh prince to participate in the fight for the heir."
"But the seventh prince declined politely and drove them away."
"The Seventh Prince at that time still had no desire to seize the throne."
"The reason why the Seventh Prince changed his mind and made him decide to participate in the heir apparent was because of another prince."
Lin Bai's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Twelve princes?"
Mr. Kirikawa smiled and said: "Yes, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, and the twelfth prince. These three princes have an extremely close relationship. Before those things happened, they used to sneak around in the imperial capital together and live happily in the world."
"Later, after the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, the twelfth prince was pushed to the stage and participated in the fight for the heir."
"It didn't take long before a scandal broke out among the royal family."
"The twelfth prince died tragically in prison."
"Maybe it's because His Highness King Chen wants to avenge the Twelve Princes, or maybe it's because His Highness King Chen has figured it out."
"Anyway, he returned to the imperial capital and started to seize the throne."
Kirikawa smiled softly, his smile full of sadness and helplessness.
He took out a pot of strong wine from somewhere and drank it by himself.
Lin Bai was sitting next to him, and he didn't give Lin Bai a sip, which made Lin Bai feel speechless.
Is this how you treat guests?
Lin Bai's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp edge, and he asked: "How did the eldest prince and the second prince die?"
Wu Chuanweng was suddenly startled when he heard this. He stiffened a little and said, "What did Ren Xin say to you?"
Mentioning Ren Xin, Lin Bai felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
If he hadn't been searching so hard for the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, perhaps Senior Ren Xin wouldn't have been brutally murdered.
"Senior Ren Xin said... they seemed to have died from some kind of strange poison in the Insect Valley of Southern Xinjiang, a catastrophe between gods and demons!"
"It's a pity that before Senior Ren Xin could finish speaking, he was brutally murdered."
Lin Bai's tone was a little sentimental.
Wu Chuanweng said to Lin Bai: "The eldest prince and the second prince definitely did not die from being possessed by evil spirits. As Ren Xin said, they died from the tribulation of gods and demons!"
