The eldest prince went on to say: "Jun Lintian's biggest backer is none other than his father, Jun Haotian."

"If his father hadn't led 100,000 elite soldiers to conquer Xuanyang City, would Jun Lintian dare to be so arrogant in Xuanwu City?"

"As long as we can drive Jun Haotian out of Xuanyang City, we can even capture Jun Haotian alive and use this to negotiate terms with the Jun family or even the Great Zhou Dynasty."

After the eldest prince finished speaking, Marquis Anyuan and several others remained silent and did not speak.

Everyone has his or her own calculations in mind.

However, what they can be sure of is that although the eldest prince said that he was considering the Xuanwu Empire, he actually must have his own goals.

It is even possible that he wants to take one step closer to the throne.

Marquis Anyuan exchanged glances with several other nobles, and everyone nodded.

"In that case, the eldest prince will lead the troops himself?"

As soon as Marquis Anyuan asked the question, the eldest prince naturally smiled and nodded.

"Of course. If it wasn't me who led the troops, but any of you, I'm afraid the Emperor would still be suspicious of you."

"In other words, if anything goes wrong with this matter, this prince will take the responsibility."

The eldest prince also knew that if this matter was exposed or discovered in advance, the consequences would be disastrous.

He also wants to take a gamble now.

Anyway, no one else knows about it, and the soldiers under the control of these nobles are not in Xuanwu City.

When I leave Xuanwu City, at most I will be questioned, and I can even bribe the guards directly...

By the time the news of the troop mobilization reaches Xuanwu City, they might have already started fighting with Jun Haotian's army.

Even if Emperor Wu wanted to stop it at that time, it was too late.

But at this time, An Yuanhou frowned: "But I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower?"

"I only have 10,000 elite soldiers, and with theirs, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 at most."

"Can we, with just the people like us, defeat Jun Haotian's 100,000 elite soldiers?"

Marquis Anyuan is the one who controls the most troops among these people.

Even he only has 10,000 troops, so you can imagine the situation for the others.

The eldest prince said: "This matter is actually easy to handle. As long as it is not known to father, you can recruit more people to join."

"I can assure you that after the matter is accomplished, I will definitely grant you a higher title."

"Promotion is not a problem."

Several people looked at each other, and they were all clearly tempted.

Everyone was smart and knew that if they didn't fight, they wouldn't be able to advance their titles.

In addition, since Jun Haotian had captured Xuanyang City, the pressure on them was very great. In fact, everyone wanted to fight back.

It’s a pity that Emperor Wu insisted not to fight, which made them angry.

Now, the eldest prince is willing to lead the troops and take responsibility.

If they win this battle, they will naturally be promoted, after all, the result is good.

Even if they lost the battle, the final responsibility would fall on the eldest prince, and they would only receive a minor punishment at most.

Compared with the potential benefits, you either make a huge profit or suffer a small loss.

"I agree." Marquis Anyuan nodded, indicating that he wanted to join.

Others did not hesitate and joined in.

The eldest prince finally smiled and asked them to go back and prepare.

But unknown to everyone, there was a person hiding in the beam, completely immersed in the darkness.

This person is none other than Jun Xiaoyao.

After hearing the conversation of these people, Jun Xiaoyao curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared without a trace. ——————

The Nineteenth Princess's Mansion.

in the bedroom.

"Master, I am really dying."

Xuan Ling'er's forehead was covered with sticky sweat, which stuck her hair at the temples together.

Her face became even rosier, and her charming eyes were full of spring.

His expression seemed to be somewhat painful, but more of it was an indescribable emotion...

Jun Lintian Xie laughed and said, "Didn't Ling'er pester me just now?"

"Why can't it work now?"

Because Xuan Ling'er is pregnant, her physical strength is naturally a little insufficient. After all, there is another little one in her belly competing for nutrition.

"Little Lord……"

Xuan Ling'er twisted her body, her delicate hands tightly grasping the bed sheets, and her eyes were tightly closed.

"Then I will fulfill your wish!"

Jun Lintian had an evil smile on his face. Xuan Ling'er originally wanted to say something, but now she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Young Master...I, um."

Her voice stopped abruptly, the veins on her neck bulged, and she seemed to have trouble breathing.

Then she relaxed, her hands and feet fell on the bed, and her whole body was soaked with sweat, as if she had been pulled out of the water.

"hu~hu~"

Xuan Linger took two deep breaths and then felt a little better. She looked at Jun Lintian with seductive eyes and couldn't help but hugged Jun Lintian tightly.

"Little Lord……"

At this moment, Jun Lintian suddenly heard a voice coming from spiritual power in his ears.

It was Jun Xiaoyao who said he had something to discuss with him.

Jun Lintian tidied up simply, let Xuan Ling'er rest first, then put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Jun Xiaoyao was waiting outside the bedroom courtyard.

"See Young Master."

Jun Lintian was not disturbed by the noise and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"I was just in the Grand Prince's Mansion and overheard a conversation between the Grand Prince and several nobles."

Jun Lintian raised his eyebrows: "Didn't they find out?"

Jun Xiaoyao laughed and said, "The Grand Prince's Mansion has long been infiltrated by me like a sieve. I just sneaked in. How could I be discovered?"

"Just now, the eldest prince won over several nobles of the Xuanwu Empire, saying that he wanted to gather troops to fight against the army of the head of our Jun family."

However, when Jun Lintian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"That's it?"

"With these country boys and dogs, they dare to take the initiative to attack?"

"What else did you say?"

Jun Xiaoyao continued, "I feel like laughing when I hear this. Their total force is only about 40,000 to 50,000."

"But judging from their current plan, they are preparing to gather more nobles. They probably want to kill first and report later."

Jun Lintian raised his lips to an evil smile.

"Kill first and report later? When they leave the city, tell the news to Emperor Wu." (End of this chapter)
