Cao Yanshi surrendered to the saint.

After such news was deliberately exaggerated by the Holy Maiden, and then spread on a large scale through various channels, it immediately caused an uproar, and many forces were shocked, especially within the Heavenly Dao Alliance, there was a shaking comparable to a major earthquake.

Cao Yanshi has two identities in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, one is the Zuo Venerable Envoy, and the other is the Prince's teacher.

The identity of the Zuo Venerable Envoy indicates that Master Cao Yan is quite transcendent in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the identity of the Prince's Teacher indicates that there is an innate close relationship between Master Cao Yan and the Prince.

And Cao Yanshi, in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, because of this dual relationship, has always been deeply trusted and relied on by the prince, and many of the prince's actions are all shadows of Cao Yanshi's participation.

With such a unique identity as Cao Yanshi, everyone never expected that at the most critical and sensitive stage of the competition for the position of the leader of the alliance between the saint and the crown prince, Cao Yanshi would actually surrender to the saint.

Or it can be said that they can completely suspect that anyone has the possibility of surrendering, but Cao Yanshi has absolutely no possibility.

However, the most unlikely thing happened like this, and it happened so quickly and so suddenly, that everyone was unexpected.

Cao Yanshi's identity is sensitive, and the timing of surrender is even more sensitive.

Some people, after being shocked by Cao Yanshi's defection, even discussed the reasons for Cao Yanshi's surrender.

Because the whole thing, from beginning to end, is full of an indescribable weird smell, and without a sufficient reason, it is impossible for Cao Yanshi to surrender to the saint.

Moreover, after the saint single-handedly set off a storm of public opinion, in response to the saint's means, Cao Yanshi assisted the prince and adopted targeted coping measures, which can be said to be the saint's sworn enemy.

It is self-evident that Cao Yanshi worked so hard to assist the prince, and that the prince trusted Cheng dù in him. It seems that there are not many signs, and Cao Yanshi suddenly surrendered, which made many people look dumbfounded.

After the news of Cao Yanshi's surrender to the Holy Maiden of Cheng spread, it caused a wide range of discussions, and countless people, in private, speculated about the reason for Cao Yanshi's defection.

A person who could never betray the prince finally betrayed the prince, and the reason for such a betrayal is undoubtedly worth savoring.

To guess the reason for Cao Yanshi's surrender, on the one hand, we must start from Cao Yanshi, and on the other hand, we naturally need to start from the prince and the holy woman.

After continuous analysis and summarization, and continuous speculation, some people have come to an extremely unbelievable conclusion.

The conclusion is that the prince is going to be defeated.

This result is not pure conjecture, but the result of these people's analysis based on Cao Yanshi's surrender.

There is only one position as the leader of the alliance, and the saint and the prince compete, and there is only one person who succeeds in the end.

In other words, although the competition between the saint and the prince has not yet reached the last step, the prince has actually shown a very obvious defeat, and Cao Yanshi, as the closest and most trusted person around the prince, is the first person to see this kind of defeat, so Cao Yanshi will give up the prince and choose to join the saint.

That is to say, the Holy Maiden's succession to the position of the future leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, even if it is not a sure thing, it is almost eight or nine.

After this conclusion was reached, many forces that originally belonged to the prince and those who were close to the prince became panicked.

After that, in a very short period of one or two days, some neutral forces that were still vacillating gradually tilted their positions towards the saint, while some were originally optimistic about the saint, but because of the struggle between the saint and the prince, they had not yet reached the last step, and the neutral forces that chose to wait and see were in place in one step and threw themselves into the camp of the saint.

The change in the position of the neutral forces, to a certain extent, affected the forces around the prince, with Cao Yanshi's surrender as the guide and the fire, the personnel relations around the prince quietly fluctuated, and that kind of fluctuation, over time, eventually changed greatly, which is completely predictable......

……

East Palace.

In the spacious and luxurious room, there was only one person sitting, and that person was the prince.

The prince sat there, motionless, and no one knew how long the prince had been sitting there, and no one knew when the prince had been sitting there.

The prince was motionless, not even his facial expression, and he looked like a piece of wood, or more appropriately, like a stone.

The prince does look like a stone at the moment, but inside the stone, there is molten lava tumbling, ready to explode at any time.

"Prince Ben, are you going to be defeated?" In this way, I don't know how long time has passed, and the expressionless prince, the corners of his mouth, suddenly, pulled slightly, and said a word.

After saying this, the prince burst out laughing, and the laughter was sharp and piercing, like a night owl crying at night.

"Just a Cao Yanshi surrendered to sincerity, and said that the prince was going to be defeated, which is ridiculous, ridiculous. After laughing, the prince said loudly again.

Cao Yanshi's surrender was unexpected by the prince, but after learning about Cao Yanshi's surrender for the first time, the prince did not pay much attention.

Because with the death of the sword idiot, Cao Yanshi has completely lost his use value to the prince, and the prince can't accept the repeated failures, and, in the prince's opinion, Cao Yanshi must be absolutely responsible for the death of the sword idiot.

If Cao Yanshi does not surrender, then Cao Yanshi must die.

A person who is going to die sooner or later, how can he make the prince care.

It wasn't until Cao Yanshi's surrender triggered a series of chain reactions, and that series of chain reactions continued to ferment and gradually became out of control, that the prince realized that he had underestimated the severity of the whole thing about Cao Yanshi's surrender.

After realizing the underestimate, the prince immediately understood that if he took decisive measures to block the news and forcibly deter the forces of all parties within the first time after learning that Cao Yanshi had surrendered, then it would be absolutely impossible to spread such rumors that the prince was going to be defeated.

It's just that after the whole thing got worse, the prince knew that even if he realized this, he couldn't do anything more.

If he still blocks the news and uses his iron and bloody hands in this situation, then it will inevitably give people a feeling of weakness.

The weakness of the heart shows that he is indeed about to lose.

And then the impact on people's hearts will be so bad that it will be too bad to be repeated.

In terms of the wisdom of the crown prince, he naturally deeply understood that at this stage, it is much wiser to do nothing than to do everything.

But of course, the prince can't actually do nothing.

For if he does nothing, his foundation will be shaken more and more, and it will not be long before he will become as some people have guessed, and he will show a sign of defeat.

"Holy Maiden, I inadvertently made a wrong move, I never thought that you would be so useful. The prince muttered softly to himself, his face a little strange, and there was anger that could not be concealed.

"Master Cao Yan's surrender, I didn't think of it in advance, or in fact, I should have killed Master Cao Yan a long time ago to avoid giving you an opportunity to take advantage of. After a sentence, the prince said again.

At this time, the prince would never think that Cao Yanshi's surrender to the saint was a choice with no way out.

In the eyes of the prince, the only thing he can see is himself, Cao Yanshi is just a chess piece under him, and the identity of the so-called teacher is even more inexplicable.

At the beginning, he relied on and trusted Master Cao Yanshi, that is, Master Cao Yan had a value that could be used, if Master Cao Yan did not have it, then the so-called teacher was nothing at all.

"Holy Maiden, you are very smart, you know how to use people's hearts too much, on this issue, this prince will have to learn more from you in the future. However, do you think that by taking advantage of Cao Yanshi's surrender and causing trouble to people's hearts, this prince will have no way to take you?"

"The battle for the position of the leader of the alliance, in essence, is the competition between you and me, not the competition between the two forces, if there is really a big battle between the two forces, then even if the alliance leader does not ask about the world for a long time, he will not allow that situation to happen. So, no matter how good you are jumping right now, I only need to do one thing from beginning to end. And the one thing I want to do will be able to erase all the troubles at once, and that is - kill you!" said the prince, and the last three words, the prince said word by word.

"Holy Maiden, as long as you die, then all your calculations will be in vain, after you die, this prince will turn around, and then slowly clean up the others, at that time, this prince will want to see who is defeated!" The prince's eyes flashed, and the irrepressible killing intent burst out.

Before the sword idiot made a move, the prince had the idea of killing the saint in person, but at that time, the time had not come, and he didn't want to give people the feeling that he was inferior to the saint, and secondly, the prince had some concerns, worried that the saint would take advantage of the loophole. The two factors were considered comprehensively, so he didn't do it, but accepted Cao Yanshi's advice and invited out the sword idiot.

At this point, the prince knew that he could no longer have the slightest hesitation and concern, he had reached the point where he had to take action in person, and the sooner he shot, the better, only then could the bad impact caused by Cao Yanshi's surrender to Cheng be the lowest level!

"Holy Maiden, you will regret offending me like this, this prince swears, I must make you regret it for the rest of your life!" A sentence containing a strong killing intent came out, and the prince's figure left his seat as soon as he moved.

On this day, the crown prince left the Heavenly Dao Palace and left the Heavenly Dao City......
