Chapter 72: Xu Zifeng's talent, the Prince of Zhennan's planning!

Coming out of Yunlu Academy, Feng Wuhen, the First Fast Sword of the capital, walked over.

"Your Highness, did you talk it over with Yu Fuzi?"

This is the academy, guarded by Yu Fuzi; his identity is indeed not easy to enter.

As Li Xian's confidant, he needs to make plans for Li Xian.

"Don't mention it; that old thing doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't release the eagle."

Li Xian felt that his trip was simply in vain; it's better to wait until his master arrives in the capital.

Now he needs to hide in the capital, continue to inquire about Li Chen's intelligence, and slowly lay out the trap.

At the border, the Third Prince was not idle either; he started to play a risky game.

Because the new Emperor Li Chen had already declared war on the Wang Ting, the Khan hadn't responded yet.

However, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's northern army was already making adjustments.

There were many northern group armies, garrison armies, reserve armies, and so on.

Most of them were loyal to the late Emperor, that is, the people of the military generals in the court.

Now it was reasonable to listen to Li Chen's mobilization, not to mention they wanted to fight more than Li Chen.

Among them were also people inserted by the Empress Dowager, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince.

However, these people couldn't interfere too much with the northern troops.

They could only provide intelligence and make adjustments when necessary.

This belonged to a dark card and could only be used once at a critical moment.

The Empress Dowager's ambiguous attitude made the Second Prince and the Third Prince unable to figure it out.

While the Second Prince was pulling for help, the Third Prince also started to go crazy.

Since the Northern Wang Ting wasn't that reliable, the Third Prince decided to find the Prince of Zhennan.

The conflict in the north escalated; once they really fought, the central troops of the May Tian Ce Dynasty would also be transferred away, and the pressure on the Prince of Zhennan would be very small.

The Prince of Zhennan's heart to rebel was very heavy; many people could see this.

Then the Third Prince simply sent a team invitation to the Prince of Zhennan.

Let's rebel together and reduce the pressure on each other.

By then, Li Chen would be busy with the war in the north, and Li Xian would have no military power.

The Third Prince felt he might be the first to break into the capital.

As long as he became Emperor, give the Northern Wang Ting some face, send them some land, and they could be honest.

Then transfer the northern army south, directly unload the millstone and kill the donkey, and wipe out the Prince of Zhennan.

Wouldn't his throne be stable?

Even solved the disaster of the Prince of Zhennan.

Thinking that history books would definitely record his great achievements in the future.

The Third Prince couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising; this Emperor, it really had to be him.

In terms of military combat, the Third Prince was very conceited; he had extremely high talent.

Of course, he had long forgotten the disabled Li Ran in his heart.

When the late Emperor was alive, the young Li Ran once captured the Third Prince alive in a military simulation battle held by His Majesty.

That memory was a shame the Third Prince didn't want to recall.

Just a useless person, where would the Third Prince care about such a small matter.

Near the capital, in a dark and quiet cultivation room.

There were rich cultivation resources here, as well as various rare treasures worth a lot of money.

The disabled Li Ran in the Third Prince's mouth was sitting on a cushion, his whole body shrouded in a layer of thick black energy, as if integrated with the darkness of this world.

Although blind in both eyes, his heart was exceptionally clear, and he was concentrating on cultivating a forbidden evil technique he created himself.

As Li Ran's breathing became deeper, the energy in his body began to surge crazily, like waves in a storm, impacting his body wave after wave.

That black energy seemed to have life, wandering on his body surface, sometimes condensing into a ferocious ghost face, sometimes turning into a sharp black blade, cutting the surrounding air, making bursts of harsh whistling sounds.

On Li Ran's face, blue veins burst out, and sweat poured down like rain.

Even though fresh blood kept overflowing from the corners of his mouth and eyes, he didn't care at all. Every pain made him feel his strength growing rapidly.

This wasn't in the palace; he could accelerate training boldly.

Li Ran knew that he only had this one chance; he had nothing left to lose!

Operating a few cycles, Li Ran spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

"Second brother, Third brother, just you wait for me!"

When he succeeded in cultivation, he must turn these two guys into human sticks to relieve his hatred!

After resting for a while, Li Ran left the cultivation secret room.

Because he had promised Li Chen to help Li Chen find the "Imperial Dragon Sacred Scripture."

Li Chen kept his promise and let him leave the Imperial Palace, so he would definitely fulfill his promise.

To take revenge, he certainly needed Li Chen's help; for him alone to shake the operations of the Second Prince and the Third Prince for so many years was also an extremely difficult thing.

South of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, which was as grand as a small Imperial Palace.

The Prince of Zhennan was like a local Emperor here, scraping various resources and building a paradise of his own.

!

As one of the few vassal kings with military power in the May Tian Ce Dynasty, he was not at all restless.

Originally, his duty was to deter the southern countries.

He had always done so, beating the southern countries into submission.

But as his power grew, people became a bit restless.

The birth of the Prince's son, Xu Zifeng, was undoubtedly the key to his heart of rebellion.

Xu Zifeng was born with divine strength, and his cultivation speed was several times that of ordinary people.

And with huge luck, he could turn danger into safety no matter what danger he encountered.

Young, his cultivation was already extremely terrifying, plus his wisdom was outstanding and he was clever.

There were even hidden experts who said Xu Zifeng had the appearance of a human dragon.

The Prince of Zhennan thought, is this heaven hinting that I can take that step?

Anyway, the southern countries had already been beaten into submission, and even the rulers of some small countries bowed down to him.

In the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, which was the small Imperial Palace, there were many beauties snatched from the southern countries.

Even on a whim, he would let the Empresses of these small countries serve him in bed.

He enjoyed the pleasure brought by this local Emperor.

Actually, at this time, the Prince of Zhennan was still hesitating, because the Emperor hadn't done anything to apologize to him, and even gave him such great power.

Most importantly, the late Emperor and the Prince of Zhennan grew up together; how could there be no old feelings.

He really couldn't tear off this face to rebel and let the world spit on him.

The turning point was Xu Zifeng being recruited into the capital as a hostage.

The Prince of Zhennan thought in his heart: This is you forcing me!

Actually, the late Emperor also had his own considerations.

In the late Emperor's view, the Prince of Zhennan had old feelings with him, so he wouldn't rebel no matter what.

But what about after he and the Prince of Zhennan both died? The Prince of Zhennan's son, Xu Zifeng, had been an ambitious person since childhood, once saying some disrespectful words in public, similar to "the Emperor takes turns sitting, this year it's my turn" and so on.

Even in the fiefdom, he had beaten imperial family children; if he inherited the Prince of Zhennan's position, how could he sit safely in the south.

For the sake of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's eternal foundation, the late Emperor made this decision.

He really didn't have the idea of killing Xu Zifeng; he just thought about placing him under house arrest.

The late Emperor felt his body was hard and strong, and the Prince of Zhennan had been on the battlefield for a long time and had many diseases.

He could wait for the Prince of Zhennan to die, divide the forces under his hand, lift the threat of heavy troops in the south, and then let Xu Zifeng go back to be a rich and noble Prince.

It could be considered as remembering the Prince of Zhennan's merits.

But who could have thought that the Prince of Zhennan hadn't waited to die, and the late Emperor died himself.

This not-so-good mess was placed in front of Li Chen; the Prince of Zhennan and Li Chen had no friendship, so he wouldn't have any scruples about rebelling.

The Prince of Zhennan had been preparing for this period of time and happened to receive a secret letter from the Third Prince.

Just when all forces were preparing to turn the May Tian Ce Dynasty upside down, what preparations was Li Chen making?

He had no preparations, and had even gone to brush the novice dungeon.
