Chapter 91

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Tang Lian, Wuxin, and the others all looked at Jiang Chen in horror.

Not because Jiang Chen said he could help Xiao Se win the throne, but because Jiang Chen actually dared to say he wanted to kill the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince so blatantly in front of them.

You have to know.

If these words of Jiang Chen were to spread out.

Perhaps they wouldn't even have to wait until tomorrow before the Northern Li army would be at the gates of Snow Moon City.

Therefore.

Even Brother Sikong Changfeng.

Was looking at Jiang Chen with a solemn expression at this moment.

"Jiang Chen, why must you kill the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince?"

Brother Sikong Changfeng couldn't understand; Jiang Chen had only been in Snow Moon City for less than a month, and logically speaking, it was impossible for him to have come into contact with the Second Prince Xiao Chong and the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu.

"Because of the Dark River." Jiang Chen glanced at Brother Sikong Changfeng and said faintly:

"The Second Prince Xiao Chong also participated in the Dark River's operation this time."

Brother Sikong Changfeng was stunned and somewhat surprised: "The person behind the Dark River is the Second Prince?"

"Yes and no."

Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Se and asked with a smile: "Xiao Se, as the Sixth Prince of Northern Li, and the prince most favored by the current Emperor Mingde, you must know the origin of the Dark River, right?"

"Of course I know."

Xiao Se nodded: "Yi Yi Shuihan founded the Shadow Sect back then to help the founding emperor of Northern Li, Xiao Yi, build the country, and afterwards, they have always been hidden in the dark to guard the imperial city."

"However, although the court has stabilized, the martial arts forces have always been difficult to control, so the Shadow Sect leader Yi Yi Shuihan arranged for the Su family, who were skilled in swordsmanship, the Xie family, who were skilled in blade techniques, and the Mu family, who were skilled in treacherous ways and medicine, to enter the martial arts world and jointly establish the Dark River, wanting to use this to control the martial arts forces. For hundreds of years, the Dark River has always served the imperial court."

Listening to Xiao Se's explanation.

Lei Lei Wujie and the others all showed surprised expressions.

They didn't expect.

That the Dark River, a killer organization that had always been terrifying in the Northern Li martial arts world, actually belonged to the imperial court's forces.

"Indeed."

Jiang Chen smiled gently: "It can be said that except for killing people from the Shadow Sect and the imperial court, the Dark River accepts any killing request."

"In other words, the Dark River is a top-tier killer organization in the martial arts world on the surface, but in reality, it is a blade planted by the imperial court in the martial arts world, specifically used to kill those martial arts forces that do not obey the imperial court's orders."

"However, in recent years, under the leadership of Su Changhe and Su Su Muyu, the Dark River has long wanted to get rid of the imperial court's control, and some time ago, they even cooperated with the Tang Clan to try to destroy the Lei Family."

Having said this.

Jiang Chen looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng: "And... they actually reached out to Snow Moon City and even intercepted and killed my master at Mount Mount Luolei."

"Then, since it was the Second Prince who cooperated with the Dark River, why do you still want to kill the Seventh Prince?"

Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"Because the Dark River appears to have defected to the White Prince Xiao Chong, but in reality, they are standing on the side of the Red Prince."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and suddenly said with a smile: "I almost forgot to mention just now, I will also kill the Ninth Prince, Xiao Jingxia."

"In other words, no matter whether I choose the first plan or the second plan, as long as I don't die, this throne will eventually fall to me?"

Xiao Se looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a smile: "Then what if I don't want to be this emperor?"

"That's very simple."

Jiang Chen also looked at the other party with a smile: "If no one wants to be the emperor, then I will find someone; if Northern Li doesn't have a suitable candidate, I will find one from other dynasties, and I will always find one."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen seemed not to care at all about who was sitting in the court.

Just.

If this Northern Li Emperor didn't have the surname Xiao, wouldn't that be equivalent to a change of dynasty?

And hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Xiao Se was also stunned.

Although he really didn't want to sit in that position, he also didn't want to see the country change hands.

He originally wanted to use the fact that he wouldn't be emperor to threaten Jiang Chen.

But who could have thought.

Jiang Chen was even more ruthless than him.

If you don't be the emperor, I'll find someone to be the emperor; if Northern Li doesn't have a suitable candidate, I'll find a suitable one from other dynasties.

And if other dynasties don't have one either, is he going to find someone from Northern Li's arch-enemy, Southern Jue?

"Alright, that's all I have to say."

Jiang Chen stood up and looked at Lei Lei Wujie with a smile: "Does Brother Lei want to enter Snow Moon City directly, or does he want to rely on his own strength to enter Snow Moon City by breaking through the Ascending Heaven Pavilion?"

Lei Lei Wujie didn't expect Jiang Chen to speak to him and couldn't help but say: "Of course, it's breaking through the Ascending Heaven Pavilion!"

He came here this time.

Following the orders of the Hall Master, Lei Lei Qianhu, wanting to see if Lei Lei Yunhe was in Snow Moon City.

At that time, Lei Lei Qianhu told him that if Lei Lei Yunhe was living in seclusion in Snow Moon City, he was likely hiding in the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

Therefore.

Lei Lei Wujie chose to break through the pavilion without a second thought.

Hearing Lei Lei Wujie's words, Jiang Chen smiled: "Then I wish you good luck."

Soon.

In the tavern.

Only Brother Sikong Changfeng and the others remained.

Brother Sikong Changfeng glanced at the departing Jiang Chen and then looked at Xiao Se, speaking faintly: "Sixth Prince, have you made up your mind about the two choices Jiang Chen just proposed?"

Xiao Se was stunned upon hearing this.

"Third City Master, does your Snow Moon City really intend to follow the opinion of a disciple?"

At this time.

Xiao Se wanted to struggle a bit more.

After all, in his view, no matter how powerful Jiang Chen was, he was only a disciple of the Second City Master, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.

He didn't believe that the three City Masters of Snow Moon City would listen to the opinion of a disciple.

However.

Hearing Xiao Se's words, Brother Sikong Changfeng smiled faintly.

"Actually, my initial thought was that Snow Moon City should not get involved in court affairs."

Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Xiao Se: "However, I also know that although Snow Moon City is the number one martial arts city in the world, it is almost impossible to protect oneself in this matter."

"It is precisely because of this that I previously wanted to support you by taking you as a disciple and acting as your master."

"As for why I chose you and not other princes, I believe you know very well in your heart."

"But!"

"The situation is different now; our Snow Moon City has produced an expert who surpasses the Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm."

Brother Sikong Changfeng said with a smile: "Since Jiang Chen said those words just now, no matter what Snow Moon City chooses, I believe he can protect Snow Moon City from worry in this struggle for the crown prince."

"Then what about them?"

Hearing Brother Sikong Changfeng's words.

Xiao Se pointed to Tang Lian and the others again.

Brother Sikong Changfeng glanced at Tang Lian and the others and said faintly: "Young people have their own choices; no matter what Tang Lian and the others choose, I will respect their choices, and I believe Baili Baili Dongjun is the same, but..."

Brother Sikong Changfeng suddenly looked at Xiao Se seriously: "Since the Sixth Prince came with Lei Lei Wujie, you should already know his identity."

"I believe the Sixth Prince knows I'm not talking about the Lei Family, so I think I need to remind the Sixth Prince that you must understand why the Snow Moon Sword Immortal's disciple wants to kill the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince."

Hearing Brother Sikong Changfeng's words.

Xiao Se remained silent.

Of course he knew that the reason for everything was the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.

At this time.

Xiao Se felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

He felt that the development of the situation was completely beyond his control.

And the reason for all this.

Seemed to be because of this disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal!

"In addition, I will remind the Sixth Prince of one more thing."

Seemingly thinking of something, Brother Sikong Changfeng suddenly spoke again: "The Snow Moon Sword Immortal's disciple should also be able to influence the choice of the Northern Li Grand General Ye Ye Xiaoying."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Se was stunned again.

Just now, he was still thinking that even without the support of Snow Moon City, he still had the support of his master Ji Ji Ruofeng and some officials in the imperial court.
