NOVEL NEXT Another Protagonist
With the passage of time, Zhou Min successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and after staying for a while with Ji Changju to express her gratitude, she left.
Wang City was starting to get lively. The old King had suddenly fell ill, and no one knew how long he would last.
The Eldest Prince, the Second Prince, and the Seventh Prince were fighting incessantly for the throne.
During the battle, the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince's forces suffered casualties, but miraculously, the Seventh Prince was able to turn bad into good one every time; he barely made any losses.
This made the two angry, and they joined forces to attack Qi Tianyou, but even then, they could only maintain a balance. They fought back and forth relentlessly with no end in sight.
For a time, the important officials of Lu Kingdom, and the major families also began to secretly take action, making the situation more and more delicate.
In the Eldest Prince's mansion, two young people who looked quite similar took their seats. Behind both of them stood the ministers and generals of the court. These two were the Eldest Prince Qi Tianfang and the Second Prince Qi Tiandu.
The two had very different temperaments. Qi Tianfang's manner and actions revealed that he was someone who has been in high positions for a long time, but Qi Tiandu was like a general who fought all year round.
"Second brother, our father's health is getting worse and worse, and we brother have been princes for decades. But even though he is seriously ill, he is still paying attention to Qi Tianyou's movements. This Qi Tianyiu is very bizarre and powerful. In less than a year, he has gained the backing of so many powers..."
Qi Tiandu squeezed the teacup in his hand with an ugly face, "Hmph, I can see that our father has gone senile, he actually started to take a fancy to the little bastard. And this little brat who doesn't even have hair down there also wants to get his hands on the throne!"
The surrounding officials also shook their heads with heavy and worried look. Although they each had their own positions and powers, they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Seventh Prince.
The brothers who had been fighting for more than ten years, the enemies of life and death actually sat together. Granted, they had no choice but to do this. However, the shameful matter is that even though they were acting together, they weren't Seventh Prince's opponent at all.
"Now the Huang family and the Liu family in Wang City are standing with Qi Tianyou, the Auction Pavilion has also publicly supported him, and even the Evil King Sect has stood up. Even with our current strength, it is difficult to overthrow him. Does my brother still have a trump card...?"
When Second Prince heard this, his eyelids twitched, and he stood up, shouting, "How can there be any trump card?! I had fought with you for so many years, and I would have killed you long ago, but your dirty conspiracies! You have already exhausted my means! I have no other trump cards!"
"Ahem, the two princes, please remain calm. If you don't unite at this time, it will only make things worse. Now is far from the time when outcome of this battle will come out. Also, it's not like there are no ways to fight back..."
At this time, a highly respected old man walked out and looked directly at the two princes. The Second Prince gave face to the old man and sat down after releasing a light snort.
Qi Tianfang questioned the old man, "I wonder what Zhou Ge meant by his last sentence?"
Zhou Ge stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Two princes, you can see that the entire Wang City is concerned about who can win the throne, and this concern has also spread throughout the Kingdom. Many major forces has joined the battle directly or indirectly, however there are still some powerful forces who have remained silent."
"Li family, the Tianshan Sect, and the Ji family?" said the Eldest Prince.
"Correct!"
The Second Prince Qi Tiandu had a gloomy expression on his face. "Zhou Ge, please don't make fun of us. Ji Family's status is prestigious and even the surrounding nations respect and fear them, how can we knock on their doors uninvited? Besides, you also know that they have always ignored internal disputes."
"As for this Li family, I went to visit them again and again, but they only gave some perfunctory replies!"
Zhou Ge asked solemnly, "Why does the Li family have the confidence to act like this? Can't the two princes see it?"
Qi Tianfang said thoughtfully, "I understand Zhou Ge's meaning. In fact, I have sent people to visit them many times, but that individual never come forward, hence making communication impossible."
Zhou Ge's face slowly softened and he said, "As far as I know, Ji Family's guard has completely locked down the inner courtyard. Forget about Li Family members, even the head don't have access to enter unauthorised. But no matter the difficulty, the princes has to devise some way to gain his favour."
"Don't forget that this person not only represents Ji family, but he also occupies a very important position in the Tianshan Sect. He alone can make Evil King Sect retreat!" "It's not an exaggertion to say that whomever gains his support will sit on the throne!" Zhou Ge enlightened everyone with his eloquence.
The two brothers listened to Zhou Ge's silently and felt that this was indeed the status quo of the situation.
Ji Changju… they need to find ways to win his favour…
…
On Wang City's street, a fat man was walking; his whole body was embellished with shining gold. He waved his arms continuously, as if afraid that someone will miss the jewelry rings on his ten fingers.
The fat man was also quite lecherous, he whistled to the passing beauties from time to time, teasing them with his squinted, rat-like eyes. If others didn't saw a group of guards behind him, they would have already beaten him to a pulp.
When he reached the Seventh Prince Mansion, he was a group of people at the door. The fat man narrowed his eyes, almost closing them in the process, and said, "Yo, isn't this Liu bitch!"
The leader of the other group was just about to step into the mansion when he heard the fat man's voice. His face sank as he turned around and glared. "Fatty Huang, if you dare to talk nonsense again, this young master will tear your mouth."
"Liu bitch, your father's name is Huang Wanwan! Except for the boss who can call me fat, whomever dare to call me fat, I will kill his whole family!" Huang Wanwan was so furious that his breathing got heavy. As a result, more than 250 kilograms of meat swayed up and down.
Liu Qing was also furious. He pulled out his long sword and shouted, "Let's have a one-on-one duel and I'll see if you dare to say that again!"
The fat man stepped back and hid in the middle of the guards immediately, "Che, why should I compete with you. I choose to fight in groups!"
"Okay, okay, if I don't teach you fatty a lesson today, I won't be surnamed Liu."
"Who doesn't know that your mother came from red light district? Do you know that my father has also played with her?" After randomly provoking, the fat man stepped back quickly.
Liu Qing's face was twisted and murderous. "I will kill you!"
The two sides were at each other's throats. Following Liu Qing's murderous shout, his team rushed towards Huang Wanyuan's team. The two sides fought directly in front of Seventh Prince Mansion, and many got injured.
The gatekeeper of the mansion was stunned and didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly went to the master to report it. Qi Tianyou found out and walked out immediately.
Seeing dozens of people fighting at the door of his house, he was instantly furious.
"Stop all of you!"
