Several princes want to be the next emperor of Tianyun Kingdom, but without their own strength, they have no strength to fight against other princes.
However, Zhou Yuan had heard that the current emperor had already established a prince, and this person was the eldest prince.
I don’t know if it’s futile to still have to compete even though I already have a prince.
"You don't know the inside story. The eldest prince is only a prince in name. In terms of ability, the other princes are more capable than the eldest prince. Moreover, the emperor also acquiesces in the competition between the princes."
Nangong He leaned close to Zhou Yuan's ear and continued in a low voice: "Let me tell you another secret. Rumor has it that the eldest prince is a loser."
"That means that the future emperor may not necessarily be the eldest prince?" Zhou Yuan said in surprise.
"Keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard." Nangong Hemei couldn't help but roll her eyes and glared at Zhou Yuan.
It stands to reason that the eldest prince is the crown prince in name only and will legitimately ascend the throne and become the new emperor in the future.
But if the current emperor dislikes the prince and wants to establish another prince, he will let some things go, just like the competition between other princes, the emperor will not care about it.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan had already guessed that the direct disciple that Xiao Yang said he wanted to cling to before was indeed one of the princes.
Seeing people coming and going at the lively lantern venue, Zhou Yuan's pupils flashed with a faint light.
"It seems that we will probably meet Henry Zhang tonight. Will we finally meet again after half a year?" Zhou Yuan thought to himself.
To cling to the prince, Xiao Yang did not have the qualifications, but he took away his martial arts seal and took the path that should belong to him, leaving him with no way to go.
He will get revenge for this right away.
At the same time, he is looking forward to what Henry Zhang and Jiang Ziyue will think when they see him here?
The Lantern Festival is extremely lively. Beautiful lights are arranged all around. Some people release Kongming lanterns or lotus lanterns to silently make wishes.
Zhou Yuan and Nangong He wandered around, squeezing in the crowd.
The task given to him by Nangong Zhengnan was to take good care of Nangong He.
"Brother Yuan, how about this purse?"
“It smells good.”
"Brother Yuan, does this hairpin look good?"
“Quite unique.”
"Brother Yuan, how about this pair of bracelets?"
“Very beautiful.”
…
On the way to go shopping for lanterns, when Nangong He chooses his favorite accessories, he always asks Zhou Yuan first, and Zhou Yuan will answer them one by one, but his tone is a little perfunctory.
What he is most concerned about now is the Heroes Association.
Finally, the two of them reached the depths of this street.
This is a square with bright lights and dazzling lights. It is obviously much brighter and more crowded than other places.
In the center of the square, rows of silver-armored soldiers stood upright, looking extremely majestic.
Behind the silver-armored soldiers, there was a high platform. Looking from a distance, there were several figures on the high platform, all of whom were dressed in extremely luxurious clothes.
Zhou Yuan and Nangong He also followed the flow of people and walked over.
The closer you get to the center of the square, the more young warriors there are.
Only when he got closer did Zhou Yuan see clearly that sitting on the high platform were four princes in brocade robes and jade robes. Each of these four princes had beautiful faces and majestic air.
They all behave with elegance, and their brows have a natural air of superiority, which makes people admire them.
According to Nangong He, there are a total of seven princes among the current emperor's children, not counting the princesses. Among them, the three youngest princes are still young and do not appear here.
As the cheers at the scene gradually subsided, one of the princes spoke.
The moment Zhou Yuan heard the sound, he immediately looked over.
"I still say what I said, in the entire Tianyun Kingdom, as long as they are young warriors with martial arts seals, regardless of their rank, they can be friends with my third prince." Following the words, one of the figures stood up.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
He had never heard this voice personally, but it was very familiar to him. Wasn't Henry Zhang moved by this sentence?
The person who spoke was none other than the third prince. He was wearing an emerald-colored jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a light yellow robe. He was very noble. From his eyes, you could see that he was ambitious.
Nangong He leaned into his ear and whispered: "This is the third prince. He is the one with the best qualifications and the highest cultivation level among the four princes in front of him. He is now a strong man at the ninth level of foundation building. Most young warriors have been
He took it under his wing."
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, the other person's qualifications could be seen from the distinctive mark between his eyebrows.
The cultivation level of the ninth level of foundation building is also the highest among the younger generation. After all, the current emperor of Tianyun Kingdom's cultivation level is only "Spiritual Transformation Realm".
Those who are qualified and powerful will naturally have the most followers, which is understandable.
"Hmph, that's what I said. If you don't hang out with me, you're the one who's attracted to me, you're looking down on me, and I'm going to kill you."
Not long after the third prince finished speaking, a burly prince stood up with an extremely domineering tone.
Hearing this deep and loud voice, there was a brief silence at the scene, and everyone was shocked by these words.
If you are spotted, you have to follow the other person, otherwise the other person will kill you, no ambiguity.
These words were even more shocking than those of the third prince, causing many people to take a breath of cold air.
Zhou Yuan also looked for the sound, and saw that the prince had thick eyebrows and a tall and muscular figure. Viewed from a close distance, it was like looking at a mountain, which gave people a very powerful feeling.
Nangong He said: "This is the fourth prince. He is born with supernatural powers, acts ruthlessly, and has an extremely domineering character. Be careful and don't offend him, otherwise you will pay a heavy price."
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly. He felt that the fourth prince's limbs were well-developed, but his mind was not.
Using violence to take charge of a country will only destroy the country faster. Saying such words at this moment will only make people stay away.
Sure enough, another prince on the side also spoke.
I saw him sitting on the chair, glancing sideways at the fourth prince, and sneered: "Fourth brother, you are too irritable. How many times have I said that only those who win the hearts and minds of the people with virtue can win the world. Violence is not
A king's magnanimity, diligence and love for his people are what a king should be like."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene immediately erupted into cheers.
Zhou Yuan also had brilliant eyes and was impressed by the other party's words.
But he soon came to his senses. The prince's words were not only addressed to the fourth prince, but also to everyone present.
To win over people's hearts invisibly is the most fatal, which shows that this prince's mind is extremely complicated.
Nangong He also immediately said: "This is the second prince. He is both wise and brave. Apart from the third prince, he has the most followers. He recruits elites. Qualifications and foundation are only one aspect. First and foremost, he pays the most attention to mind and character.
"
Zhou Yuan understood that since the other party said that he convinced people with virtue, it was enough to show the uniqueness of his vision.
As we all know, the current emperor is an extremely smart person. He is courteous to the virtuous and corporal, and not only looks at people's strength, but also pays more attention to their character. This is why Tianyun Kingdom can develop steadily among the seventeen surrounding countries.
The second prince obviously already has the same abilities as the emperor.
