Chapter 155: Late Night Alliance

The Crown Prince took a deep breath and looked directly at Yin Qi: "If I am not mistaken, the two Martial Saints who fought west of the city last night were you and the Champion Marquis! Since you have a feud with the Champion Marquis, why don't we join forces?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "I have no substantial conflict with the Champion Marquis, just don't like this person. The matter has been told to you; it's best if the Crown Prince is willing to deal with the Champion Marquis, but if not, it won't affect me much. Farewell."

After speaking, Yin Qi turned and left.

Watching Yin Qi's disappearing back, the Crown Prince's eyes were cold, suppressing the anger and killing intent in his heart.

He was the Crown Prince, and he had extended an invitation, only to be ignored.

The key is that he knew the other party was using him as a pawn, yet he couldn't resist.

This feeling made him hate to the point of madness.

The other party is a Martial Saint; even if the Champion Marquis becomes Emperor, it is estimated that he can't do anything to the other party.

But he can't.

If the Champion Marquis becomes Emperor, he will surely die.

"Champion Marquis, what a good Champion Marquis, didn't expect that in the midst of silence, he had gathered such a huge force."

"With Father's means, it's impossible not to have noticed."

"In other words, all of this was secretly allowed by Father; could it be that Father really intends to confer him as a Prince?"

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, also hating the Emperor of Gan.

He is the Crown Prince, and he considers himself far superior to the He Prince and the Yu Prince in both talent and cultivation.

But if it weren't for the Emperor of Gan's secret suppression, would he need to hide himself so much?

"No. To deal with the Champion Marquis, I cannot do it alone; Fourth, Eighth, you also cannot stay out of it."

Although he didn't fear the Champion Marquis, he didn't want to fight alone and let the He Prince and the Yu Prince pick up the bargain.

Thinking of this, he wrote two letters and had them sent to the two.

………

Yu Prince Mansion.

The Yu Prince was discussing matters with Yun Qing.

Yun Qing was originally a famous courtesan of the Sanxiang Building, but the Yu Prince loved her deeply and insisted on marrying her as his wife.

But how could a brothel woman be worthy of being a Princess?

Therefore, although the Yu Prince redeemed Yun Qing, he never took her as a concubine, but was waiting for a suitable opportunity to get the Emperor of Gan's permission to marry her as his proper wife.

The Yu Prince sighed: "It seems there is no hope of winning over Yin Qi. Although I am valued by Father, I have no one to use by my side; compared to the eldest and the eighth, I am far behind."

Yun Qing could only comfort him: "Prince, Yin Qi is backed by the Yin Duke Mansion; these Dukes are all very shrewd and will never easily take sides. We actually had psychological preparations for this long ago; sending invitations is just doing our best.

This concubine thinks that we can have no one to use by our side, but as long as we can gain the favor of His Majesty, that's enough.

The choice of the future throne depends on His Majesty."

The Yu Prince nodded and drank a glass of wine somewhat irritably.

Just then, the Grand Steward knocked on the door and walked in quickly, handing over a letter: "Prince, this is a secret letter sent by the Crown Prince."

"Eldest, secret letter?"

The Yu Prince was stunned.

He and the Crown Prince were competitors, and they often had disagreements in the court.

Why would the other party send him a secret letter for no reason?

Yun Qing said solemnly: "Prince, hurry and open the letter to see; the Crown Prince sending a secret letter must be no small matter."

The Yu Prince nodded, opened the envelope, and took out the letter.

Soon, his face changed, and his face became gloomier and gloomier.

Yun Qing asked busily: "Prince, what did the Crown Prince say?"

The Yu Prince looked up and handed the letter to Yun Qing: "Read it yourself."

Yun Qing took the letter and read it quickly, her face also changing suddenly.

The Yu Prince gritted his teeth: "Didn't expect that the Champion Marquis is actually Father's illegitimate son, and his background is very big. No wonder he often acts recklessly; no matter how officials in the court impeach him, Father trusts him deeply."

Yun Qing said heavily: "The key is that in silence, he actually gathered such powerful strength, and even the Divine Eagle King and Xiao Anran defected to him. Prince, this concubine thinks we can agree to the Crown Prince's proposal.

You three join forces to crush the Champion Marquis first.

You compete for the throne, and the loser still has a chance to survive.

But if the Champion Marquis becomes Emperor, you three will surely die.

This person seems gentle and polite, respectful to the wise and condescending to the lowly.

But in fact, he is the most hypocritical, and his heart is the narrowest, with no capacity for others."

She was a famous courtesan of the Sanxiang Building; what kind of powerful nobles, officials, scholars, merchants, etc., had she not seen? She considered herself to know how to judge people, which was why she chose the Yu Prince among many admirers.

She had met the Champion Marquis a few times before and also saw the other party's character.

The Yu Prince nodded heavily.

He had no strategist, and Yun Qing had always played this role.

He was already moved by the Crown Prince's proposal, and since Yun Qing said so, he naturally wouldn't oppose it.

……

At the same time, the He Prince also received the Crown Prince's secret letter.

After reading the letter, he was also shocked and angry.

His strategist, Mr. Zhou, said solemnly: "Prince, I think we can agree to the Crown Prince's proposal. The danger of this Champion Marquis is too great; his strength exceeds any of our parties. If we don't crush him in advance, once His Majesty announces his identity in the future and includes him in the clan, then everything will be over."

The He Prince's face was ugly, and he nodded slowly, saying solemnly: "What proposal does Mr. Zhou have? The Champion Marquis's power is in the military, and he has two Ghost Immortals defecting to him, and he himself is a Martial Saint; it's not easy to deal with him."

Mr. Zhou chuckled: "This is not difficult. We don't need to kill the Champion Marquis; just cutting off his possibility of competing for the throne is enough. For example, first sweep away his party in the court, and then gradually weaken his power in the military. Unless he rebels, he is just a cow or sheep to be slaughtered."

Mr. Zhou's vision was very sharp, soon seeing through the Champion Marquis's shortcomings.

That is, his foundation in the court is too shallow.

The Crown Prince, the Yu Prince, and the He Prince join forces; cleaning up the Champion Marquis's party in the court is too easy.

Now is not a chaotic world; it is difficult for the military to divide.

Since that's the case, then we can weaken the Champion Marquis step by step through government decrees.

And the Champion Marquis must either rebel or submit.

But no matter which path he chooses, it is a dead end.

………

The Champion Marquis in Yujing Guan didn't expect that he had just sent an invitation to Yin Qi, and it had brought him disastrous trouble.

He was still thinking about how to distribute the Marrow Refining Pills after subduing Yin Qi.

He didn't lack Innate Peak martial artists in his army; if they all advanced to Marrow Refining Grandmaster, he would have the confidence to fight to the capital of the Yunmeng Empire, roam ten thousand miles, and make a name for himself.

…………

The next day.

An imperial censor submitted a memorial, saying he saw the Champion Marquis in Yujing Guan, and thus impeached the Champion Marquis for entering the capital without an imperial order, and simultaneously associating with the Fangxian Dao and forming a clique for private interests.

Various memorials impeaching the Champion Marquis in the past could be ignored by the Emperor of Gan.

But he could not ignore this memorial.

As a commander of one side, you sit in the border, why did you return to the capital without permission?

Of course, the Emperor of Gan also knew.

This censor must be instigated by the Crown Prince, otherwise, the other party couldn't have known the Champion Marquis's whereabouts.

In fact, he himself was also startled.

The Champion Marquis was actually hiding in Yujing Guan; doesn't this mean the Fangxian Dao had already defected to the Champion Marquis?

This made him unable to tolerate it.

You know, the Fangxian Dao is located in the suburbs of the city, and there are countless experts within it; just Ghost Immortals alone number two. ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
