Chapter 257 When It Comes to Being Despicable, Dou Changsheng Is Still the Best!

The wind howled.

It came from the northwest.

A humming sound rang out in the empty sky and earth.

Clouds gathered one after another, and the color gradually deepened, turning into black clouds.

The dark clouds covered the sky and blocked the bright sunlight, and the sky and earth began to darken.

The prince raised his head slightly and looked at the dark sky. One hand was covering his heart, and he spoke in a low voice: "I just felt a heartache."

"This is a whim."

"Something is going to happen next."

A gentle voice sounded: "Your Highness is the crown prince, and he is protected by the national destiny."

"Now I have a premonition that something is wrong, so someone must be planning to assassinate the king."

A tall man in linen clothes was standing in the shadow of the prince.

The man had a broad forehead, a high nose bridge, and a strong physique that supported the linen clothes. The sleeves rolled up allowed a section of his forearm to be seen.

Each finger was wearing a ring.

Ten rings, each with a light, like a dragon, began to swim.

The man stood calmly, but no matter whether it was the soldiers or the servants, they could not see him, as if he no longer existed.

The prince raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "What a bad thing, I have encountered it."

"There has been no assassination of the crown prince for many years, and it happened to me today."

"Based on this incident, it is enough for me to be recorded in the history books and leave my name in history."

"But I would rather not have such a reputation than become a hapless ghost in the mouths of future generations."

The prince's eyes gradually deepened and began to look into the distance, which was the direction of Fozhou. After a silence, he said: "This assassination should be related to Buddhism."

"There are very few people in the world who can kill me, and if you count carefully, Buddhism has the strength to do so, and they also have this motive."

The man standing in the shadow said calmly: "Your Highness is not right. Wrong."

"Others who are capable have no motive. After all, the consequences of assassinating the king are huge. The immortals of the time are still invincible in the world. No one can bear the anger."

"Only the Buddhist sect dares to take action if they want to push Dou Changsheng to the top."

The prince sneered and said, "The Buddhist sect has really invested a lot of money. This time, not only did Dou Changsheng complete his ancestral recognition, but also made me lose face. Now it seems that they are still not satisfied and have such a bold idea."

"What do you think, Senior Wu Ling?"

"Can they succeed?"

Wu Ling was in the shadow, as if illusory. He raised his arm slightly and said calmly, "The Buddhist sect wants to solve the problem once and for all. This idea is not wrong."

"As long as His Highness dies, then the left prime minister Shangguan Taishi will definitely will support Dou Changsheng."

"Dou Changsheng doesn't need to do anything to gain the upper hand. With his status as the eldest son, he can immediately take over your power."

"After a few years, Dou Changsheng will be fully grown and can become the prince."

"This is the simplest and fastest way. It won't even shake the foundation of the country and cause a turmoil in the fight for the throne."

The prince was very dissatisfied with this and said unhappily: "If I die, won't it cause turmoil in the country?"

"There has never been a prince who was assassinated in the world."

"I will become a laughing stock for all ages, and Daqian will lose face. This is a loss."

Wu Ling corrected and said: "Your Highness is wrong."

"It is Daqian that is losing. What does it have to do with Dou Changsheng?"

"He If he cannot ascend to the throne, no matter how strong Daqian is, it is useless. It is precisely because he understands this truth that Dou Changsheng is unscrupulous. "

The prince sighed and said, "He is really despicable and shameless. He has no overall view and is a selfish villain."

"This time, I will leave it to Senior Wu Ling."

"I believe that the Five Elements Sect will not let me down."

Wu Ling smiled and said, "Your Highness, why do you have to do this? With General Manager Hong here, there is no place for a junior like me."

"The strength of the Buddhist sect is not weak, but the ridiculous monk is no longer as brave as he used to be. His retreat seems to be abdication, but in fact, he has lost his spirit and has completely accepted his fate. I don't know how much strength he has left."

"How can he be the opponent of General Manager Hong."

The prince also laughed. The Buddhist sect just brought shame upon itself.

Even if they came out in full force and used immortal weapons, they would still be defeated and retreat.

Although the prince did not consider that the enemy would assassinate him, he did not neglect his own safety at all. Before leaving, he went to the palace to ask for the protection of General Hong to prevent the possibility of the demon concubine secretly attacking him.

At the same time, he also sent a letter to Longhu Mountain, and Longhu Taoist accompanied him secretly.

Now that he has returned, Longhu Taoist can no longer protect him like a guard.

So the prince directly changed his target and invited Wu Ling, the leader of the Five Elements Sect.

Although they had a lot of conflicts because of Jin Yao's matter, it was just to shirk responsibility and perform for the world to see. In fact, the two sides colluded too deeply and could not be shaken by just one thing.

Suddenly, the prince looked into the distance.

The prince's martial arts cultivation is not weak. He was born with a divine body. He had a foundation built by natural materials and treasures. Since childhood, his mother, who is a first-class martial artist, has taught him to practice hand in hand.

Resources, skills, and magic weapons are all top-notch.

Even things that are regarded as treasures by the children of aristocratic families are common to the prince.

They used the thousand-year-old stalactites to break through the barriers and did not dare to use them indiscriminately, and the prince only used them to soak his feet every day.

So when someone came from afar, the prince immediately noticed him.

He looked at the person coming.

He soon recognized the person's identity.

Lin Yucheng.

This person caused quite a stir in the imperial capital and was considered a celebrity in the imperial capital.

The prince looked at Wu Ling, remembering that this Lin Yucheng was the one who represented the Five Elements Sect to enter the imperial capital.

Wu Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know what he came for."

"This person is not a good person."

"Be careful with him."

Wu Ling was afraid that the prince would look down on him, so he directly revealed the top-secret information he had investigated: "Lin Yucheng used to be good friends with the Eighth Generation, and the two sides were brothers."

"Those who can be brothers with the Eighth Generation and have not died yet are all weak."

The prince understood after hearing this, and looked at the person coming with a serious look.

Lin Yucheng walked to the front and was intercepted by the armored soldiers. He looked at the prince. The prince hesitated and raised his hand to signal to let him go.

Lin Yucheng approached and bowed directly, saying, "Your Highness."

"I am here on someone's behalf."

"I want to ask Your Highness a question."

"Is the offspring more important?"

"Or yourself?"

"If you think you are important, then in a quarter of an hour, the Crown Princess and her three-year-old son will be sacrificed to an unknown existence."

"If you plan to save the offspring, then please ask Chief Steward Hong and his team."

"With Chief Steward Hong's ability, I believe it will not be difficult to save people."

"How do you choose?"

"Please let me know, Your Highness!"
