Chapter 203: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
Concubine Dan looked at Jiang Chen with wonderful eyes, and seemed to smile: "Do you think that you and the old man and the hero see something in the same way?"
Jiang Chen touched his nose: "You said it for me, what else can I say?" Actually, I don't care much about who is the prince and who is the king. But I'm a guest invited by the fourth prince, so I have to do something for him. Moreover, from my personal standpoint, it is better for him to be the prince than to let Ye Dai be the prince, right?"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's tone was stunned: "Why don't you seem to be killing each other at all, as if you weren't surprised at all?
Concubine Dan showed a smile full of wisdom: "It's not that I guessed it, but the old man has already guessed it." The so-called seat of the crown prince will be set in the first month of next year, in fact, behind the old man's instructions to release the rumors, I just want to take this opportunity to examine the reactions of all parties. β
"It seems that the investigation is a bit big now, right? It's not going to end, right?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"How can it be big? Everything is under control. Concubine Dan smiled.
"What do you say? This is going to be done, once the killing begins, who knows how many people in the Dao will be able to get out alive?"
"If there is only one person who survives, then he is the crown prince. If one goes out without injury, Ye Rong is the prince, it's as simple as that. β
"So, it's already decided that it's Ye Rong?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised.
Concubine Dan shook her head and smiled mysteriously: "It's not that Ye Rong has been decided a long time ago, but after the old man's birthday banquet, after the Tiangui Guoshi Order was given to you, it was decided." β
"Uh, I have that big face?" Jiang Chen was a little ashamed, he didn't participate much in the intrigue between the princes, could it be that he participated in a birthday banquet, inadvertently gave a gift, and solved a difficult problem, so that he could influence the prince's belonging......? That's outrageous, isn't it?
"Don't doubt it, the old man is never wrong when he looks at people. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was actually obvious - the one who got Jiang Chen got the position of the prince. β
"His Majesty the monarch can agree? And this is his son's fratricide, can he sit idly by?"
Concubine Dan sighed: "Jiang Chen, say you are naΓ―ve, you are cunning and deadly. Call you cunning and hateful, you are also naΓ―ve sometimes. Sitting in the position of the monarch, didn't they sit on it from the fratricidal step by step? Do you know that the spirit apes of the Dao Dao kill each other, and only one of them will live to the extreme, do you think that the survival rules of the Emperor's House are gentler than those of the Spirit Beast Realm?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said the same.
Not to mention the Tiangui Kingdom, the former monarch of the Eastern Kingdom, Dongfang Lu, isn't it rumored that he colluded with the former crown prince Dongfang Jun, which led to the death of the former crown prince Dongfang Jun to get the throne?
Guo Jin's father was implicated because of this incident, which caused the Guo family to plummet and declined ever since.
If Ye Rong is good enough, and he can survive from this law of the jungle, it means that he can withstand the test, whether it is strength, mentality, or luck, he has the potential to be the king of a country.
On the contrary, if such a little competition leads to death, then even if he Ye Rong has conquered the top in all aspects, it also proves that the fortune is not enough, the luck is not enough, and it is not enough to be the king of a country.
That can only be the second best, and the law of the jungle will be decided, and the one who will come out alive will be the king of a country.
After the thought was understood, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Sister Dan, since you have encountered it, you can't sit idly by." How to say, I am also the guest of the fourth prince, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death. β
Concubine Dan smiled: "Come less, don't think I can't see it, do you look like that kind of courtier who is full of discipline?"
Seeing Jiang Chen galloping towards the mountain road, Concubine Dan quickly followed: "You just run up with such fanfare, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them and killing people?"
"Isn't there a great beauty like you, I believe that no matter how mad they are, they will not poison you, right?"
"You overestimate my charm. In the eyes of men, women are just the embellishments of life. Since ancient times, how many emperors have not loved the country and loved the beauty?"
Jiang Chen smiled: "No wonder you don't mince words about those princes, it turns out that you have already seen through their virtues." β
Concubine Dan said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. Jiang Chen, you confess honestly, are you hiding something from me?"
"Do you still need to explain this? Jiang Chen smiled, "Anyway, don't worry, I will definitely be able to find them before they find me." β
Anticipate the enemy's opportunity and discover the other party one step before the enemy!
Although Concubine Dan didn't know why Jiang Chen was so confident, she couldn't have the slightest suspicion when she saw that he was confident.
Jiang Chen didn't follow behind Ye Dai and them, but sped away directly in the southeast direction.
Since they knew that Dao Ye Rong was about fifty miles to the southeast, Jiang Chen would naturally not delay, but set off towards the valley at full speed.
Ye Dai and they want to meet first, and they definitely have to make some deployments. Jiang Chen was very sure to feel the valley one step ahead of them.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen and Concubine Dan came to the periphery of this valley.
And at the entrance of this valley, there was indeed a spy of the great prince. Jiang Chen took Concubine Dan, bypassed the ears and eyes of this spy, and sneaked into this valley.
"Jiang Chen, shall we go in and meet directly, or?"
"Don't look for them yet, lest you startle them. If the four princes knew that we were coming, the team would definitely change a little, and it would be easy for the spies to see it. β
Concubine Dan nodded thoughtfully.
"How much more of your fascinated incense?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"There are only three bottles. Concubine Dan counted.
Jiang Chen smiled: "So, you have to use my equipment." β
Jiang Chen has outstanding talent in pills, and in terms of using poison, he is naturally handy, and he has many preparations.
There are two or three kinds of things that are similar to the magic incense in Jiang Chen.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was like a trick, Concubine Dan kept conjuring up all kinds of bottles and cans, east and west, and arranged them around.
Soon, a perfect trap was successfully arranged by Jiang Chen.
Clapping his hands, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's almost here, let's avoid it first?"
"Jiang Chen, do you count this as helping Ye Rong cheat?" asked Concubine Dan with a smile.
"This is called being invincible. How can it be called cheating? If you really want to cheat, you can only call cheating by killing Ye Dai directly. This can only be considered justified defense, right?"
......
In Ye Rong's team, there were seven people in total, and except for Xue Tong, the remaining six people were carefully selected by him.
It's just that this time in the Lost Autumn Hunt, Xue Tong unexpectedly brought him many surprises, especially in the hunting process, this Xue Tong's archery skills are outstanding, and he has made great contributions.
And this Xue Tong, who is young, but his mind is very calm, he participates in the formulation of every hunting plan, and every time he can find flaws and find various clues, so as to attack and kill the prey in one fell swoop.
At first, Ye Rong thought that letting Xue Tong enter the team was just to give Jiang Chen face, but he didn't expect that Xue Tong's ability became his unexpected gain.
Of course, in terms of absolute strength, Ye Rong's team, in addition to Ling Qianli, also has two personal guards, which are half-step spirit realms.
The other three people, including Xue Tong, were all at the peak of the True Qi Realm.
And he Ye Rong himself, his cultivation is only at the peak of the True Qi Realm.
If you want to talk about the absolute strength carefully, except for Ling Qianli who can stabilize Xue Tong, even if the two half-step spiritual realm guards start a life-and-death hunt with Xue Tong in this maze realm, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer in the end.
"Fourth Prince, this spirit beast is not lightly injured, and it has been trapped in this area by us. Ling Qianli had already gone in to search for it, believing that it would not be able to escape. β
Ye Rong nodded: "This time, you must not miss." One spirit beast is more valuable than killing a hundred fierce beasts. This time, the eldest prince and their team invited many spiritual realm powerhouses. I'm worried that they will outperform our team in this autumn hunt. β
In Ye Rong's tone, there was still some envy. The eldest prince has a good background, a deep background, and a wide range of contacts, so he can casually dump a spiritual realm powerhouse, and even a disciple of the Treasure Tree Sect can be invited.
Although Ye Rong could also get acquainted with the disciples of the Baoshu Sect, it was impossible for the disciples of the Baoshu Sect to work for him.
In the final analysis, it is still a poor background, insufficient background, and insufficient connections.
Ye Rong sighed in his heart, if Jiang Chen was not recruited and transferred away by Concubine Dan this time, this autumn hunt, he Ye Rong would definitely have hope of competing for the championship.
And yet, nowβ
I can only do my best, although there is news that the candidate for the crown prince will be decided in the first month of next year, but Ye Rong does not believe that a autumn hunt can decide everything.
However, he must not slack off, at the very least, this positive attitude must be shown.
At this time, Xue Tong walked over: "Fourth prince, this valley is narrow on all sides, and the entrances and exits are very narrow. β
"Xue Tong, what are you worried about?" Ye Rong's biggest advantage is that he is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and it is easy to grasp the meaning of his subordinates.
"My subordinates are worried that this spirit beast may have been manipulated by someone and deliberately led us here. Otherwise, how can we have such good luck and encounter a wounded spirit beast? Moreover, the wilderness outside is so wide, why should it flee to this valley where there is no way out?"
"You think someone is deliberately manipulating?"
"Yes, my subordinates just checked the terrain, and there is only one entrance to this valley, and there is only one exit. It was like a cloth bag, and we just got in. Although Xue Tong is not Ye Rong's subordinate, since he is in a team, he is still willing to say what is in his heart.
Ye Rong pondered for a moment, these days of getting along, he actually didn't doubt Ye Rong's judgment, and he was even a little superstitious.
In terms of strength, Ling Qianli and a few of their Spirit Realm guys were naturally stronger than Xue Tong. But in terms of insight, judgment and analytical ability, this Xue Tong is definitely on the same level.
"The fourth prince, a spirit beast, can't be hunted, there is still a chance later. However, our team can't afford to gamble. The terrain of this valley, once it is surrounded, we will never be able to get out. Moreover, once there is a fight here, the outside world will definitely not know what to do. β
Xue Tong has already made it very clear.
Ye Rong's face changed, and he finally wavered: "Pass the order and give up hunting." Get out of this valley now!"
After all, he was born in the emperor's family, and when many things are associated, this Ye Rong knows the importance of the road.
On the surface, it is not possible to fight each other, but the rules are dead, and people are alive.
Xue Tongxi's words woke up Ye Rong.
