"Zhou Yunfei looked at the star mark on the map and murmured to himself. [Search for the latest updates here.]
Pang Tong had already left the room, and the words he just said made Zhou Yunfei determine the next step to take.
To be honest, Zhou Yunfei is still very concerned about the Far North Fortress. From the first time he knew that the core of this fortress is almost another Bywest royal blood, to the classic epic battle last winter, the Far North Fortress has given
Zhou Yunfei was deeply impressed.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to get involved easily in the chaos of the civil war, Zhou Yunfei would have long wanted to capture this far north fortress.
Unfortunately, for now, he does not want to have a direct conflict of interest with the Canterlot family behind the eldest prince.
"However, this place will be mine soon." Thinking of the increasingly tense situation of the empire, Zhou Yunfei said calmly.
Because the Holy Dragon Alliance behind the third prince is so huge, it is so huge that everyone else is secretly afraid. Therefore, the current situation of the other three princes is quite bad.
Relatively speaking, the fourth prince's situation is the best. Being far away from the northern region and not having to face the sharp edge of the Holy Dragon Alliance allows him to develop himself stably for the time being.
But the most tragic thing is the eldest prince. He was originally the most promising among the four princes, but now his position is the most embarrassing among the four princes.
He occupies the imperial capital of Byvost and is the current ruling prince of Byvost. It can be said that before last winter, the eldest prince was the most prosperous one. Unfortunately, the battle last winter caused the greatest losses.
It is the Canterlot family behind the eldest prince!
First, they lost Karst City, the largest granary town in the northern region, and then burned all the winter food for the entire northern fortress group, which directly led to the loss of the five northern fortresses to Dragon City. Although they saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians
, but for the Canterlot family, a rising power in the north, their own strength was undoubtedly greatly weakened by this move.
Coupled with the clumsy response in the war, the Canterlot family was under pressure from all sides. This also made the Canterlot family's rapid development momentum reverse, severely damaging the foundation. Finally, there is recovery.
The St. Clair family that came over, this ancient and powerful family in the north, never had a good look towards the Canterlot family who dared to provoke them.
Facing the Holy Dragon Alliance, the Canterlot family felt tremendous pressure. This also resulted in a lot of constraints on their actions to support the eldest prince, so the eldest prince's current situation was quite embarrassing.
Sitting alone at the table, staring at the wine glass on the table. The eldest prince was lost in thought about the woman he saw yesterday.
Thinking back, just yesterday, someone suddenly came to Bywister's palace with sincerity.
However, this method is a bit intriguing.
The sleeping eldest prince suddenly felt a chill. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a woman in black sitting at the table, playing with a jade pendant worn by the eldest prince.
This jade pendant was a gift from Zhou Yunfei to the eldest prince.
Because of its unique carving work and refreshing feeling, the eldest prince liked it very much. In addition, Zhou Yunfei also said that this jade pendant is warm and strange, and wearing it close to the body for a long time can calm the mind and refresh the mind, so the eldest prince never leaves his body.
Now this jade pendant was taken away without anyone noticing, how can it not surprise people?
However, the eldest prince did not show any signs of it. He stood up calmly, put on his clothes, and then said, "I don't know if the young lady came to visit late at night and was not welcomed from afar."
"Haha, the eldest prince really deserves his reputation." The woman said this without knowing the meaning.
The eldest prince smiled softly, his handsome appearance coupled with his indifferent expression was really charming.
"Thank you, Miss." The eldest prince walked to the table, picked up the wine glass, opened a bottle of fine wine, and the mellow wine immediately hit his nostrils.
"I wonder if Alec would be honored to invite the lady for a drink?" The eldest prince said calmly, raising the wine glass in front of the woman in black.
"That's disrespectful." The woman in black took the wine glass handed by the eldest prince and gestured slightly.
"Miss, why are you here late at night looking for Alec?" the eldest prince asked after drinking a glass of wine.
The woman in black took off the mask on her face, and her elegant and refined face made the eldest prince slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered.
"His Royal Highness, this little lady is here to save His Highness's life."
"Haha, Miss, you are joking." Shocked by the woman's stunning face, the eldest prince's long-awaited feelings seemed to loosen a little. However, the woman's words made him wake up instantly.
Gently playing with the jade pendant, feeling its warm texture, the woman in black continued: "Why, does your Highness think I am joking?"
The eldest prince smiled slightly, "Does Miss know that someone wants to kill me?"
"Sometimes, killing doesn't require a sharp blade. Power struggles are often more terrifying. Killing doesn't require blood."
The eldest prince's smile disappeared instantly, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
"His Highness is in a very bad situation right now. I think several other His Highnesses must be longing for His Highness to fall off this chair."
"Miss, I bet you didn't just want to say these things to Alec when you came late at night." The eldest prince returned to his smile, but there was a trace of cruelty in his eyes.
The woman in black smiled softly, "Your Highness is indeed smart. The little girl came late at night without warning, so please don't blame me."
To be honest, the eldest prince is indeed very passive now. The other three princes, especially the third prince, now have the support of the Holy Dragon Alliance, and the possibility of ascending to the throne is far greater than that of the other princes.
"Miss, please name the person you represent." The eldest prince took a sip of the wine in the glass and said lightly.
"Dark Brotherhood."
These five short words made the eldest prince's movements pause.
It is impossible for the eldest prince not to have heard of this name. Especially since Dragon City has been taking great action recently, causing many tragedies in Bywister. The eldest prince, who has his own means, will naturally not be as ignorant as other common people.
Affection.
"Dark Brotherhood, it is indeed you." The eldest prince had guessed before that who could come to the heavily guarded palace without anyone noticing. After thinking about it, only the Dark Brothers who are specialized in this way
Got it.
What's more, he has received a lot of information about this organization recently. From the above, it is obvious that they are not having a happy life now. Being tracked down and strangled by Long Chengwu has put them in trouble.
The woman in black is Lisanna, codenamed Rose. This time she came to Byvost to find the eldest prince and persuade the eldest prince to form an alliance with the Dark Brotherhood to fight against Dragon City. This task is not that simple to complete.
Even at this moment, Lisanna wasn't even sure.
After all, the eldest prince represents the decision-making of the entire interest group behind him, and the Dark Brotherhood is just a force in the dark. Putting aside the unscrupulous activities, they are far apart in terms of power alone.
However, Lisanna obviously would not show a hint of timidity, "Your Highness, since you guessed the little lady correctly, can you guess the purpose of the little lady's visit?"
A playful smile flashed across the corner of the eldest prince's mouth, "If Alec's guess is correct, miss, you represent the Dark Brotherhood and are looking for help, right?"
Lisanna's eyelids twitched, and she secretly thought that the eldest prince was indeed very smart, and she was defeated by him in just a few words.
"His Royal Highness is truly divine. The little girl is here to help His Highness the First Prince on behalf of the Dark Brotherhood."
The eldest prince shook his head and said, "No need to pretend. Frankly speaking, I don't want to communicate with people or organizations outside the empire."
"However, considering your beauty, miss, I think we can still have a common language." The eldest prince gently shook the wine glass and said what Lisanna wanted to hear most.
Indeed, the eldest prince is also eager to change the status quo, but he cannot find people and forces who can help him in the country. Therefore, he naturally has to set his sights on the mainland. However, he cannot look for those who are better than himself.
A powerful force, this is tantamount to handing over the initiative to the other party. Even if you ascend the throne in the future, you may be able to get rid of the constraints, but obviously things will not end so simply.
And now the Dark Brotherhood has naturally become a more qualified partner. It's not that the eldest prince can only choose them, but the most suitable one now is the Dark Brotherhood.
Although Dragon City, represented by Zhou Yunfei, has not announced its own at this time, judging from the intelligence collected bit by bit, it will happen sooner or later.
The eldest prince admired Zhou Yunfei very much.
In the words of his father before his death: "This person can be of great use, but he must also be careful."
In layman's terms, he is a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times.
After just a brief encounter, the old emperor who was the predecessor of Byvost already expected that Zhou Yunfei would definitely become Byvost in the future.
However, the old emperor did not say these words to anyone else until his death, and only the third prince received a letter from the old emperor before his death, which stated that when Zhou Yunfei's power cannot be stopped in the future, he will give up the throne to him.
To preserve the royal bloodline for the future.
It can be said that this old emperor was calculating the future of his bloodline until his death. Perhaps this is also the concern in every emperor's heart.
The eldest prince had come into contact with Zhou Yunfei and witnessed Zhou Yunfei's growth during that period. The eldest prince admired Zhou Yunfei very much. Not only his ideas, but also his style and style were all so different.
It's something that comes from the heart.
This is also the charm of Zhou Yunfei. In his heart, there is no strict hierarchical class system, only free democracy. Therefore, the peace that was unconsciously revealed during the exchange made the eldest prince feel a different atmosphere.
If possible, the eldest prince really wants to become friends with Zhou Yunfei, which can be seen from the many ways in which the eldest prince lets Zhou Yunfei go.
