Chapter 242 The Prince Returns to the Palace

"The prince is back?" Wu Xiuren heard the news, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Ye Yan

At this point, how could he not know that the prince's departure from the royal city was deliberately arranged by Emperor Wu, so that he could go to the western border and successfully win over King Xia.

Since King Xia came with the Feiyu Army, there would be no chance for the two brothers.

Wu Xiuren was not confident enough to think that he could defeat a king of a different surname.

After calming down, he suddenly recalled what Wu Xiuxian said just now.

"What did you just say? Han Xu killed Wu Xiufu?"

"Well, the news just came from the palace that Wu Xiufu humiliated Ling Fei in Weiyang Palace and was killed by Han Xu in one punch." Wu Xiuxian narrated calmly, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him.

Although Wu Xiufu was his biological brother, Wu Xiufu's ruthless killing of Wu Xiuren in the hall still brought a huge psychological shock to Wu Xiuxian.

He could kill Wu Xiuren today, and he could also kill him Wu Xiuxian another day.

Moreover, Wu Xiuxian believed that Wu Xiufu would definitely not care about the brotherhood when he attacked him.

So, in a way, Han Xu indirectly saved Wu Xiuxian's life.

"How is Han Xu now?"

"I don't know. It is said that Weiyang Palace was sealed by the palace masters with a formation. No one knows what happened inside."

Wu Xiuren said, "I have another question."

"You say."

"Why don't you take action at this great opportunity?" Wu Xiuren looked at the third brother who had been fighting with him for a long time. Based on his understanding of Wu Xiuxian, the other party would not give up voluntarily.

"It was Han Xu who warned me to stay put." Wu Xiuxian said, "Now that I think about it, I am really glad that I listened to his advice."

"Han Xu again." Wu Xiuren gritted his teeth and said that unlike Wu Xiuxian, his relationship with Han Xu was like fire and water, and he had humiliated Han Xu many times, and had a great grudge.

More importantly, he had secretly found out Yingying's life experience, so the more powerful Han Xu was, the more dangerous he was.

Wu Xiuren said: "He will be punished for killing the prince."

Wu Xiuxian said: "I advise you not to try to provoke Han Xu, otherwise you will be the only one who will die. Don't forget that the life-saving spiritual object given to you by your father has been used up."

"Doesn't Wu Xiufu have a life-saving spiritual object?"

"You think life-saving spiritual objects are common things. Let me tell you, there are only three of these spiritual objects. Your father gave them to you, me, and the prince. Wu Xiufu has been pretending to be crazy and stupid. How could your father give them to him?"

"I have said everything I should say. You can do whatever you want." After Wu Xiuxian finished speaking, Wu Xiuren stood up angrily and left without hesitation. Looking at his resolute back, Wu Xiuxian shook his head. He knew that Wu Xiuren would not be willing to accept it, but he was not going to care.

Next, he decided to stay out of it completely. He wanted to see who would have the last laugh in this game of power.

"Maybe, in the end, none of us can be the winner." Wu Xiuxian sighed, and he thought of Han Xu again, as if no matter how desperate he was, he would turn danger into fortune.

Is it really just good luck?

Wu Xiuren shook his head. He never believed in so-called luck. He summed up a truth from his own growth experience. Behind any seemingly lucky things, there must be enough strong strength to support it.

Han Xu killed the prince in the palace, but the masters in the palace only sealed the Weiyang Palace, but did not spread the news of Han Xu's death. This itself is enough to explain many problems.

Above the palace, the prince stood on the back of a thousand-feathered eagle, wearing a jade crown and gorgeous clothes, quite majestic. His skin color was darker than when he was in the royal city, but his whole aura was more restrained and deeper. It seems that he has grown a lot in the few months in the Western Territory.

To his right was Qin Ling, the former commander of the Tiance Army who was also demoted and left, and to his left was a slender middle-aged man, the King of Xia in the Western Territory, Xia Tao.

Behind them were five thousand majestic Feiyu Army soldiers. Such a large army descending from the sky brought an indescribable shock to people.

The people of the royal city raised their heads and looked at the dark thousands of feathered eagles in the sky. The timid ones had weak legs.

Parents pulled all the children back into the house, closed the doors and windows, and dared not make any sound. Ordinary people may not know what happened in the palace, but even a fool can see that the sky of the Dawu Dynasty is about to change.

Xia Tao said loudly: "Xijing Xia Tao, send the prince back to the palace!"

His voice was loud and clear, and everyone in the palace could hear it clearly.

Jiang Yuan and the other four had just dealt with Han Xu's affairs when they found that Xia Tao had come with the Feiyu Army, and they immediately had a headache.

At this time, Emperor Wu sent a message to them again: "Don't worry about it. I want to see how many more people will jump out."

With Emperor Wu's order, they felt at ease and returned to their own places to recuperate.

Everyone who has cultivated to their level is extremely smart. They guessed that the Emperor Wu might want to take this opportunity to catch all the traitors. If that is the case, the four of them still have time to contribute.

Not long after Xia Tao finished speaking, several auras rose in the palace. Hou Qian was the first to appear in the sky, followed by the Minister of Justice Xing Kai and the Minister of Personnel Zhao Gan.

Xing Kai was also extraordinary and floated in the air, while Zhao Gan was only a ninth-rank official and stood on the roof.

When the two saw the prince, they were all happy and saluted and said, "Your humble servants respectfully welcome the prince!"

The prince nodded and said, "No need to be polite. You have worked hard during this period."

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal them to stand behind him.

Hou Qian looked at Qin Ling and Xia Tao with a serious expression. The current situation was completely out of his control.

He had just learned of Wu Xiufu's death. Before he could recover from the shock, the prince's men descended directly over the palace.

What surprised him most was Xia Tao's arrival.

"Hello, King Xia!" Hou Qian said with a fist. Although he was the Minister of War, he was also respectful in front of the four kings of different surnames.

"Hou Qian, long time no see." Xia Tao said, "I escorted the prince back to the palace. On the way, I heard that something bad happened in the palace, so I brought the Feiyu Army with me."

Hou Qian murmured in his heart. It would take at least three days for the Feiyu Army to fly from the western border, but the battle for the throne only started today. Could he predict the future?

Now that Wu Xiufu is dead, Hou Qian has not figured out what to do. Now that he sees the mighty Feiyu Army, he doesn't know what to do.

Fight?

Not to mention that he can't beat the Feiyu Army with the power in his hands. Even if he can beat them, what can he do?

Could it be that he can ascend to the throne? That's impossible.

At this time, Qin Ling, who had been silent, said: "Brother Hou, you should know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince, the crown prince of my Great Wu Dynasty. Now that he is back to preside over the overall situation, it is legitimate. Moreover, the Crown Prince has always admired Brother Hou's talents. If Brother Hou is willing, how about you and I brothers assist the Crown Prince together?"

The Crown Prince also said: "General Qin is right. I wonder what Minister Hou thinks?"

"I am willing to serve the Crown Prince." Hou Qian agreed without much hesitation. In the current situation, he has no choice at all.

As long as he shook his head, the five thousand Feiyu Army would probably rush up immediately.

Hou Qian made way and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is welcome back to the palace!"
