Chapter 111 Prince: Am I the victim?

The Second Prince's Mansion.

"Dongyun, you are finally back." The second prince personally welcomed Fang Dongyun.

"Dongyun lived up to your highness's expectations and captured the evildoer from the White Lotus Sect." Fang Dongyun said seriously.

"Alas - Dongyun, you are too polite. You are my sworn brother. You don't have to be so reserved in front of me."

"Donyun doesn't dare!"

The Second Prince, Fang Dongyun and a group of aides were toasting each other.

The second prince was very satisfied with his sworn brother Fang Dongyun.

He knew his position well and did not become arrogant just because he was his sworn brother. He was still respectful and polite to him.

"Chief Secretary, how is your investigation going into the relationship between the Sanhe Gang and the Crown Prince?"

When the Chief Secretary heard the Second Prince's question, beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"My subordinates are incompetent!"

"The Crown Prince acted cleanly and efficiently, erasing all clues related to the Sanhe Gang."

Hearing this, a gloomy look flashed across the Second Prince's face, as well as a hint of dissatisfaction with the Chief Secretary.

However, this hint of dissatisfaction flashed by and no one noticed.

The Second Prince spoke to the Chief Clerk in an encouraging and tolerant tone.

"You've worked hard, Changshi!"

"I just hate that the prince is so insidious that he erased all the clues in advance."

"It's hateful. Although we caught the White Lotus Sect demon this time and were able to show ourselves in front of our father, we still can't overthrow the Crown Prince!"

The second prince sighed inwardly.

What a failure!

"This operation is also thanks to His Highness the Thirteenth."

"That's right, Thirteenth Brother asked you, Dongyun, to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the Sanhe Gang. It can be seen that Thirteenth Brother is on my side."

"Big brother, you will eventually perish if you do too much evil. It won't be long before everyone deserts you."

The second prince's mouth curled up slightly, and the haze in his heart dissipated instantly.

Starting from the incident with Fang Dongyun, his several confrontations with the prince all ended with his victory.

The second prince felt that the time was not far off for him to overthrow the crown prince and take over the East Palace.

"Donyun, the responsibility of Beidou Secret Realm will be entrusted to you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Soon, Fang Dongyun learned about the test of the endless dark world in the Yaoguang Tower. He was full of interest and eager to try it out.

"The last time I entered the Yaoguang Tower, both I and the Crown Prince stopped at the seventh floor."

"Dongyun, you are a martial arts genius. You have a great chance of passing the ninth level. By then, I will be able to surpass the prince again."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Dong Yun will never let you down."

Then, Fang Dongyun went to Yaoguang Tower and reached the ninth floor in one breath, but was unfortunately defeated.

"You can't even get through Dongyun?"

A look of surprise appeared on the second prince's face.

"There are seventy-two bronze men on the ninth floor, and each of them has the strength of the fifth realm."

"Although I can sense the actions of the bronze men, I cannot stop the attack of the seventy-two bronze men."

"Once I advance to the fifth realm, I will definitely be able to pass the ninth level."

"Is that so... What a pity..."

The second prince sighed.

Ever since Fang Dongyun received the inheritance of the Dragon Bird Inspection Technique, he has soared to the sky and his cultivation has improved day by day.

But if you want to advance to the fifth level, it will probably take another month.

"I hope the prince won't cause any trouble in this month."

……

The news that Fang Dongyun had reached the ninth floor quickly spread.

After all, this is the best result at present, and he is also the first junior to reach the ninth floor of Yaoguang Tower.

All the civil and military officials in Yujing City once again expressed their sentiment that they wished they had a son like Fang Dongyun.

Then, time and again, he used Fang Dongyun's example to educate his children.

For a time, Fang Dongyun became the child of other people's families in the eyes of countless children of officials.

Linjiang Hou Mansion.

A lady dressed in gorgeous clothes sat elegantly, her plump and round buttocks filling the entire chair.

At this moment, the lady's pretty face was gloomy, like the prelude to a rainstorm.

"Fang Dongyun! Fang Dongyun!"

"Are all the civil and military officials in the court only thinking of Fang Dongyun?"

The lady gritted her teeth viciously and smashed her favorite teacup.

Ever since Fang Dongyun inherited the Dragon Sparrow Sword and became the second prince's sworn brother.

These three words are simply a nightmare to the lady.

She never imagined that the bastard who had allowed her to bully him in the past would have such a good fortune.

"Mother, he is just a bastard, what is there to worry about?"

"Anyway, Fang Dongyun has been kicked out of the house by his father. No matter how outstanding he is, what threat can he pose?"

The eldest son of Linjiang Marquis said nonchalantly.

When the lady heard what her eldest son said, she was furious.

"What do you know? You just eat, drink and have fun with your friends all day long. If you had half the talent of that bastard, why would mother worry about a mere bastard?"

"Even though your father kicked that bastard out of the house, as long as the family tree is not published, he is still a member of the Fang family."

"What if your father changes his mind and accepts a bastard as his successor? What will you do?"

The eldest son of Linjiang Marquis blurted out when he heard his mother's horrified words.

"No way!"

"Father has severed his relationship with that bastard."

"What's more, in this dynasty, the succession to the title is always to the eldest son."

"Even if the bastard is still in the Fang family, he has no share in this title."

The noble lady glared at her eldest son with disappointment and snorted coldly.

"Primogeniture?"

"Look at all the emperors in this dynasty. Which one is the eldest son?"

The noble lady's words left the eldest son of Marquis Linjiang speechless.

The eldest son of Marquis Linjiang was panicked.

What would he do if what his mother said was true and his father was going to pass the title to the bastard born to that concubine?
"Mom, please think of a solution quickly."

"This title must belong to the child."

The noble lady remained silent, thinking in her mind, with a strange look in her eyes.

"Don't worry, my child. I have a solution."

"Go back and spread rumors for me, saying that Fang Dongyun made a bold statement after drinking, and ask him to return to Linjiang Marquis's mansion unless Linjiang Marquis kneels down and apologizes to his mother."

"Given your father's personality, he would have been furious after hearing this rumor, and would have completely stopped him from wanting Fang Dongyun to come back."

"Also, I will go to your father and persuade him to let you become the crown prince as soon as possible."

"Recently, stay calm and stop fooling around with your bad friends."

"Mom, I understand. After father appoints me as the crown prince, I will play with Xiaoxia and the others."

The noble lady couldn't help but sigh when she saw her eldest son like this. How could she give birth to such a wicked son?

If she had been more motivated, why would she have to work so hard?
……

Palace, hall.

Zhou Haochen sat in the main seat, with the prince sitting next to him.

The maid brought fragrant tea and served on the side.

"Thirteenth brother, I have a favor to ask of you." The prince cleared his throat and said.

"I wonder what big brother is referring to?"

"I also ask you, Thirteenth Brother, to assist me, Big Brother, to get through the Yaoguang Tower."

Zhou Haochen: …

Enter the Yaoguang Tower? !
He needs help!

Did you make a mistake!
"Ahem, big brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just... I'm not capable of it!"

"Hey - Thirteenth brother, don't underestimate yourself."

"This matter cannot be handled without you!"

Zhou Haochen: ???

Why must he be the one?
Seeing that Zhou Haochen was puzzled, the prince told Zhou Haochen the situation in the Endless Dark World in detail.

After listening to it, Zhou Haochen suddenly realized.

"So if you want to get through the Endless Dark World, there are only two ways to choose."

"Either he is a martial arts genius with amazing inspiration, or he was born blind?"

"exactly!"

"I have learned that Fang Dongyun, who is under the command of my second brother, has already reached the ninth level. He is just one step behind because of his limited strength."

"Within a month, Fang Dongyun will be able to break through to the fifth realm. By then..."

The prince didn't say anything else, but Zhou Haochen already understood.

Obviously, the Beidou Secret Realm has become a place where the Crown Prince and the Second Prince fight openly and secretly.

Perhaps, several other ambitious princes also want to make a name for themselves through the Beidou Secret Realm and catch the attention of Emperor Qianyuan.

Zhou Haochen pondered for a moment and said lightly.

"Brother, you are worthy of being my royal brother. I don't want to help you, but... I am not strong enough!"

"Don't worry, Thirteenth Brother. I have already prepared a great gift for you."

As he spoke, the prince handed a storage bag to Zhou Haochen.

Zhou Haochen took a quick look and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

The treasures in the storage bag are so rich.

All of them are natural treasures with thunder attributes, which are very helpful for thunder practitioners.

Obviously, the prince had already made preparations in order to ask him to take action.

"Thirteenth brother, in addition to these natural treasures, I have also prepared a Gathering Thunder Yuan Pill to help you."

As he spoke, the prince took out an exquisite jade bottle. After opening the stopper, a rich elixir fragrance wafted out.

The Ju Lei Yuan Dan has the effect of improving the cultivation of Taoism, and when it is refined, it is mixed with a large amount of thunder-attributed natural treasures, making it more suitable for thunder cultivation.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Brother, I accept your kindness."

"After my younger brother is promoted to the third realm, I will assist my elder brother and try my hand at the Yaoguang Tower!"

When the prince heard Zhou Haochen's promise, the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"it is good--"

"We won't go home until we're drunk today!"

……

at the same time.

The news of the Crown Prince's visit to Zhou Haochen reached the ears of the Second Prince.

"Big brother is trying to win over Thirteenth Brother in order to shake the Light Tower!"

"I don't know when Dongyun will be able to come out, so I can't let my elder brother get there first."

"I have to make preparations for both situations!"

"Come here, take out all the thunder-attributed treasures in the mansion."

"Isn't it just to win over the Thirteenth Brother?"

"How come you, the Crown Prince, can do it, but I, the Second Prince, can't?"

The second prince brought some thunder-attributed treasures and hurried to pay a visit to Zhou Haochen.

……

After three rounds of drinking.

Zhou Haochen heard the servant’s report.

"Hmm? Second brother is here to visit!"

"Please come quickly!"

When the Crown Prince heard that the Second Prince was coming to visit, the drunkenness on his face instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a look of slight anger.

Damn second brother!
You already have Fang Dongyun, and you still want to compete with me for my Thirteenth Brother?
His fists were clenched tightly, the knuckles turned white and made crackling sounds.

Are we still talking about the basic law of first come, first served?
The prince looked at Zhou Haochen chatting and laughing with the second prince, and he felt very angry and felt like he was being tricked.

The Second Prince's purpose in coming was exactly the same as the Crown Prince's, he also wanted to ask for his assistance.

Open your mouth and eyes to adapt to the darkness.

Shut up and be blind, your intuition is amazing.

Zhou Haochen felt a pain in his liver after hearing this.

blind?

You are the blind one!
You are all blind!

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has arrived!"

As the servant reported, the Second Prince's voice, which had been eager on his face, suddenly stopped, as if he was strangled by an invisible giant hand.

He and the prince looked at each other and saw the shock and rage in each other's eyes.

Lao Liu is here too?
Am I being cheated on?

Am I being cheated on again?
The Sixth Prince walked into the hall with great dignity. Seeing the Crown Prince and the Second Prince looking deflated, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"It turns out that the eldest brother and the second brother are here."

"It seems like great minds think alike!"

"Thirteenth brother, the endless dark world in Yaoguang Tower can only be conquered by you!"

"If you don't take action, what will the world do?"

The Sixth Prince started by praising Zhou Haochen, and then, like the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, he gave Zhou Haochen a lot of thunder-attributed treasures.

There is even a specialty of the Shenxiao Sect - the Shenxiao Yunling Pill, which is a panacea for Lei Xiu to break through the bottleneck.

Since the three princes had done this, Zhou Haochen couldn't refuse and bowed to them.

"Thank you three royal brothers for your kindness. After I am promoted to the third realm, I will accompany you on this journey."

After these words were spoken, the Sixth Prince smiled the brightest.

The second prince's smile was a little stiff, and the crown prince's smile was the most bitter. He drank the bitter tea in the cup, and a sentence echoed in his mind.

It was obviously me first!
