Mingdu, Prince Zhong's Mansion.
This is the residence of Prince Xu Guozhong, located around the Imperial Palace and Mingde Hall, and adjacent to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Xu Guozhong was originally a prince of the previous dynasty, and he had the most noble royal bloodline of the previous dynasty, that is, the lineage of black-skinned nobles.
A hundred years ago, he recognized the situation clearly, betrayed the previous emperor, helped the current old emperor win the country, and changed the dynasty.
For this reason, he was named the Imperial Prince, and he was also the only prince. Although he had no military power, he controlled the most important resource treasury of the entire Sun and Moon Empire.
Over the years, he also relied on smuggling some resources to increase his strength to the 92nd-level Titled Douluo level, and became a genuine ninth-level soul master.
Even Xu Tianran wanted to win over the other party at any cost, but unfortunately Xu Guozhong never responded directly.
After all, he is a traitor, so naturally he is not willing to succumb to others. If there is a chance, he also wants to give it a try!
......
In the palace hall at this moment, two figures were sitting opposite each other, drinking and talking.
The one on the left is tall, with dark skin, thick lips, a bald head, and a black robe trimmed with gold. He is a standard black-skinned aristocrat.
With such distinctive characteristics, this person is none other than Xu Guozhong, the owner of Prince Zhong’s Mansion.
Across from Xu Guozhong, there was a white-haired old man with the same powerful aura. He seemed ordinary, but his whole person exuded a sense of solemnity.
This man is none other than Linghu Yun, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards.
Linghu Yun was originally just an ordinary commander in his early years, but later met Xu Guozhong. He helped Xu Guozhong smuggle from the imperial capital, while Xu Guozhong helped him obtain cultivation resources and status.
In just ten years, he was promoted from Contra to Titled Douluo, and even became the Presidential Leader of the Imperial Guard.
However, over the years, Linghu Yun's promotion has reached a bottleneck, and Xu Guozhong is old. In order to secure a future for himself and his descendants, he secretly cooperated with the prince Xu Tianran without telling Xu Guozhong.
But who would have thought...Xu Tianran died so quickly, and the third prince also received the lunch box, leaving only a group of useless princes.
After much thought, he still felt that Xu Guozhong was more reliable...
"Brother Xu, the royal family is in turmoil now, do you have any ideas?" Linghu Yunjian was brewing. It was almost done, and then he tentatively looked at Xu Guozhong and asked in a low voice.
"Haha, I'm old. If I have any ideas, it's better to wait for those little guys to fight for a winner." Xu Guozhong took a sip of wine and did not show any other thoughts, but looked towards Linghu Yun asked with a smile: "On the contrary, you, brother, have a heavy army in your hands. The entire Imperial Guard is in your hands. What will you do next? There should be many princes who want to win over you, right?" br>
Xu Guozhong naturally knew what Linghu Yun was thinking, but he did not take the initiative to express his opinion.
After all, the old emperor is still alive now. If he dares to show any idea of being "interested in the throne", the old emperor will definitely kill him at all costs...
Safe For the sake of safety, before the old emperor died suddenly, you can have ideas, but you must not let anyone notice.
However, the old boy Linghu Yun couldn't sit still. He didn't choose any prince to join him, but instead found him...
Linghu Yun saw that Xu Guozhong was tight-lipped and had no ideas at all. He suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "Brother Xu, you also know that except for the prince and the third prince, it is difficult for any of the princes to become great, and the old emperor can't hold on. How long, brother, you..."
"Hey, eh...brother, what are you talking about!" Xu Guozhong quickly forced a glass of wine to the other person's mouth, interrupted the other person's words, and said with a serious face. : "I don't have any ideas, you kid, don't talk nonsense! I am loyal to the emperor and I can never have other thoughts!"
When Xu Guozhong said the last sentence, he replaced the word "emperor" with the two words. The words are specially emphasized.
Linghu Yun is also a human spirit, so he naturally understands the meaning. Before the old emperor died, Xu Guozhong would never take any action.
But after the death of the old emperor, it's uncertain...
"Hehehe, it's my brother who's being abrupt, come and have a drink~"
Although Linghu Yun did not achieve the goal Purpose, but also got Xu Guozhong's attitude, he was satisfied, and quickly poured wine for Xu Guozhong.
After all, they all know the old emperor’s condition, and he only has a few more years to live.
The other princes have no future. Even if the old emperor leaves a will and designates someone as the prince's successor, the others will not be convinced. There will definitely be a big chaos.
And at that time, if Xu Guozhong can stand up and he also stands up to support the other party, then...
Thinking of this, Linghu Yun felt that the future was promising, and he might be able to go further and get more. More military power!
"By the way, the Eighth Prince, do you know what's going on? Why did he suddenly announce his participation in the fight recently?" Xu Guozhong suddenly thought of something and asked casually.
The royal family values bloodline the most. Although the eighth prince has been waiting to die, his cultivation level is not low, and the concentration of the royal bloodline is the highest among these princes, and he has inherited the pure Sun Martial Spirit.
If the old emperor chose his successor based on bloodline concentration, then the eighth prince would be the most promising one.
After all, when it comes to bloodline, it doesn't mean who is born earlier will have richer bloodline, but it all depends on luck.
If the eighth prince came out to compete for the throne earlier, he might be able to compete with the third prince and the prince.
It's a pity... This kid likes to eat and wait for death. It may be too late to stand up now.
"Haha, you are just a clown. Now that all the major forces have their own supporters, they will not change easily. Maybe they will join forces to point the finger at the Eighth Prince. He already has a way to kill him. "Linghu Yun chuckled.
His thoughts are similar to Xu Guozhong's. If Xu Tianhe had stood up earlier or worked harder, there might be hope.
But now that he suddenly stands up, regardless of whether he can win over other forces, because of his strong royal blood, he will easily be joined by other princes to fight against him.
"Jie Jie Jie, it seems that I came at the right time today. I didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest..." At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from the hall.
“Who!”
When Linghu Yun and Xu Guozhong heard this strange voice, their expressions suddenly changed, and they both turned their heads, and they saw at the door of the hall. They didn’t know when A strange young man stood.
"Who are you and how did you get in?" Xu Guozhong stood up abruptly, took the lead in putting a soul shield on himself, and looked at Bai Zhou with a solemn face.
You know, he and Linghu Yun are both titled Douluo!
But the other party was able to sneak in quietly under his and Linghu Yun's noses. This seemed extremely weird, and he had to deal with it carefully.
Linghu Yun also released his martial spirit with a solemn expression.
Because the young man in front of him gave him a vague sense of oppression, which made him very uncomfortable.
