Chapter 40 [Deadly Situation]

The second prince's residence.

"Hi~"

The second prince took a deep breath and said, "Be gentle!"

The Second Prince wanted to kill this crappy imperial physician Shan Yao.

This trip to the Royal Villa seemed to be a great victory for him, but in fact, he suffered a lot.

Let’s not talk about the fact that I was shot by an arrow in vain.

Among the three great generals, including the Ninth-Rank Quick Arrow, one was killed and two were injured.

The two strange beasts were also eradicated.

Unharmed?

Go and be unharmed!
The second prince was so depressed.

There is anger but nowhere to vent it.

I just wanted to kick something, but there was no hot pot to kick.

Too much anger, burning heart and lungs.

The pain in his arm made the Second Prince grimace.

After all, he is a prince, spoiled and pampered. He has never suffered such hardship.

The plan was perfect, but the ending was tragic.

This is really hard to swallow.

“Your Highness, although we failed in this plan, it is not a complete failure.

At least, we have revealed the prince's trump card.

Future plans will be more targeted.”

The scholar and counselor bowed their heads and calmly analyzed the situation.

"That's right!" The second prince nodded.

“The prince is really very secretive, with four maids around him, two of them are ninth-rank maids.

Even Your Majesty does not receive such treatment."

Speaking of this, the second prince was also a little envious and jealous.

The prince is surrounded by beauties of the eighth and ninth ranks, and each one of them is stunningly stunning.

Looking at him again, he had eight family generals, one of whom was killed five years ago, and now another one has died.

Eight becomes six.

Moreover, they are all grown men.

What does this make him do?
You can't ask them all to serve you, right?

Looking at Li Chengqian again, it’s different.

There are so many things that four stunning beauties can do.

When you are bored, you can grind soy milk and play poker, which is very enjoyable.

No wonder the prince rarely goes out except for necessary matters in recent years.

It turned out that he had already enjoyed it for a long time and was deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.

"The Crown Prince's power is becoming more and more stable. Now that Your Majesty is testing him, there are two possibilities.

First, we must destroy him.

Second, make use of him and promote him with all your strength.”

Having said this, the second prince suddenly stopped and his face looked very ugly.

"Several days have passed and there has been no movement from His Majesty's side. I'm afraid it's the latter," said the scholar strategist.

"So, the prince must be killed!" The second prince's voice suddenly turned cold.

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice.

If two times doesn’t work, try three times.

Only if the prince dies will he have a chance.

“Your Highness, based on comprehensive calculations, the Crown Prince owns the world’s largest warehouse, controls the world’s waterways, controls the world’s food, controls the world’s largest gang, and is extremely powerful.

However, none of the six ministries in the court supported him.

Over the past five years, the Prince has continued to develop and you have not been idle at all.

In terms of power, you are no less powerful than the prince.

Moreover, there is another point. Your fight for the throne is conducted in a proper manner, and nothing you did touched His Majesty's weak spots.

But the prince is different. His power is too great and will endanger Your Majesty.

Your Majesty's test this time is the best proof of this.

Therefore, if we want to get rid of the prince, we don't necessarily have to do it ourselves.

You can kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

The scholar and strategist has provided countless advice and suggestions to the Second Prince over the years.

It can be said that he has made an indelible contribution to the Second Prince’s current power.

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" The second prince stroked his chin and fell silent. "You mean, borrowing a knife from His Majesty?" The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly.

His IQ has always been very high, and he is definitely not a useless prince.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to this point today.

All six ministries in the court supported him, which showed how extraordinary he was.

"Good idea!" The second prince was very satisfied with this.

“However, all plans need to be carefully discussed to ensure that there are no mistakes.

Your Majesty, this knife is not easy to borrow. If you use it carelessly, you may not only fail to kill the enemy, but also hurt yourself.

Fortune and wealth are sought through risk, so taking an unconventional approach may not be a bad idea, let’s take a gamble!”

The second prince made up his mind and did it.

Kill with a borrowed knife!
"Your Highness, if you want His Majesty to take action, there is only one possibility." said the scholar strategist.

"Treason?" The second prince immediately thought of this.

Throughout history, treason is the only thing that emperors cannot tolerate the most.

Almost zero tolerance.

Once discovered, the perpetrators will almost certainly be killed and there will be no leniency.

"Yes!" The scholar and strategist nodded.

"But the prince will not rebel." Xie Bian, who had been standing aside and keeping silent, suddenly spoke at this moment.

In one sentence, he hit the nail on the head.

So, some people, it’s fine if they don’t speak, but once they open their mouths, they become the point.

"Then let's rebel for him!" said the scholar strategist.

"How to replace?" asked the second prince.

This is the most critical part of the entire plan.

The prince would definitely not rebel, so he must be framed.

The word "replace" says it all.

However, it is extremely difficult to actually do it.

“The Beggars’ Sect is the largest gang in the world, with a large number of people, numbering up to 100,000.

So, we can do something about this.”

The scholar and strategist frowned slightly. Obviously, this was not easy.

After all, the Beggars' Sect would not rebel.

"This matter must be considered carefully, with every detail taken into consideration," said the second prince.

Rebellion is no joke.

If you are not careful, you may get burned.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the bandits next door to the southwest?" The scholar strategist suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something.

"Next to the southwest?" The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "Of course I know."

The southwestern Gobi Desert has a unique terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and horse bandits and local bandits often gather here.

Burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

For this reason, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits more than once, but with little effect. Instead, the bandits became more rampant.

However, if the Black Cavalry were dispatched to deal with these bandits, it would show that the Qing Kingdom was incompetent.

Apart from the Black Knight, there is nothing good.

Therefore, Emperor Qing has never sent out the Black Cavalry over the years.

Recently, the imperial court sent officials to recruit them.

The terrain in the southwestern Gobi Desert is rugged, making it difficult for large troops to enter.

Therefore, a large-scale encirclement and suppression will not work.

Recruiting is also a last resort.

"You mean to make trouble for these bandits?" The second prince frowned slightly.

"These bandits are unruly and unruly, how could they cooperate with us?" The second prince had some concerns in his heart.

"There is no need for them to cooperate with us. It will be the same if we cooperate with them." The scholar strategist whispered.

“If they can raise the prince’s banner, start an uprising, dominate one side, and declare Southwest Gobi independent from Qing.

Your Highness, think about how wonderful His Majesty's expression will be at that time."

At this point, the scholar-strategist had a slight smile on his face.

"Okay! Let's do it!" The second prince slapped his thigh and said happily.

However, he accidentally pulled the wound, causing it to bleed a lot, and the pain was so severe that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"If you think carefully about the details, this method is feasible!" The second prince had beads of sweat on his forehead, but there was only a smile on his face.

If this plan succeeds, it will be a sure kill situation, and the prince will have a hard time surviving death!

This time, even the great immortal came and couldn’t save him!
