The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 576 Destroy a city and destroy a country! (1)
He wasn't sure whether Chu Xunyang was crazy or not, but he firmly believed that if he asked this girl to appear in front of him a few more times, even if he wasn't driven crazy, he would be stunned to death by a mouthful of old blood.

"I didn't come here to negotiate terms with you. If you know what you're interested in, we'll all be happy, otherwise—" Chu Xunyang said, curling the corners of his lips contemptuously, "But whatever I want, I can also force it. As for you ——If you really want to fight with Bengong for the five cities in this area, it’s okay. It’s just that after so many years of forbearance and disguise, once you reveal your old background and change to an embattled situation, you really think it’s worth it ?"

Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help gasping, and suddenly turned to look at his master——

But it's just a face-to-face meeting. Did this Xunyang princess see through her own master?

Just as Chu Xunyang put down his words here, the archers outside the valley finally finished firing their last batch of arrows and stopped their momentum.

The empty valley fell silent in an instant, except for the passing wind, there was nothing else.

Prince Nanhua's eyes were condensed, staring at her without blinking.

The girl's face was cold, but in her indifference, she gave people an influence that could not be ignored.

Li Wei held his breath subconsciously, his eyes drifting back and forth vaguely between his master and Chu Xunyang who was opposite him.

Chu Xunyang moved his gaze to the side with a blank expression, fiddling with the horsewhip in his hand, and continued to speak slowly: "I am very clear about your situation in the middle of the court. As for why you have been able to sit in the position of the prince until today , the internal reason is even more clear. After so many years of acting, it is hard to keep the position, are you really sure that you want to give up all of it here today in order to get angry with Bengong?"

Her tone was very light and cool, but she didn't mean to ridicule, she was just stating a fact in the most calm and objective manner.

"Because you are mediocre and not outstanding, Empress Chen has been supporting you with confidence until today." Chu Xunyang said, his eyes rolled up as he spoke, and the corners of his lips raised an arc. Is it the right time for them to find out about you?"

The Nanhua Crown Prince's mother's surname is Zhou. Ten or 20 years ago, the Zhou family is the most well-deserved largest family in the Nanhua Kingdom. With a military power of one million, it can be said that there is no second in the limelight.

The current emperor of Nanhua has a weak personality, and he was originally a person who had no achievements, but the clay figurines also have a three-point earthy nature. Seeing that the Zhou family has become bigger and has the potential to make great achievements, this mediocre Nanhua emperor finally came under his control. In his lifetime, he did a great thing with great skill——

Taking advantage of the fights among the women in the harem to make a big fuss, the Empress Zhou suppressed the concubines in the harem under his deliberate connivance and protection, and killed countless concubines and heirs within a few years.

When the time was right, the emperor, who had always been ambiguous about this, launched an uncharacteristically sudden attack.

Empress Zhou was abolished for being jealous and violent, and then the women in the harem who had accumulated grievances rose up to attack.

The Emperor of Nanhua then changed from his usual incompetent style and deposed and wiped out the entire Zhou family with thunderous means. In just one month, the first family of Nanhua fell from the side of the throne. Beheaded or exiled, all in all.

The third prince born by the empress was only two years old at the time, but because the emperor was coerced by the Zhou family before, he had already been established as the heir apparent.

Although the Emperor Nanhua did not kill his own son, he still hated it very much. However, because of the actions of Queen Zhou, his heirs withered, the eldest prince died early, and the second and fourth princes were also of mediocre aptitude, so they delayed it for the time being.

Three years later, the harem was filled again, and the emperor's heirs gradually prospered.

When the Emperor of Nanhua was about to consider re-establishing the crown prince, the Chen family was diagnosed with lifelong infertility. After weighing the balance, he asked to bring the crown prince by his side to raise him personally.

After thinking about it, the emperor still felt jealous of the Zhou family, so he simply issued an order to exterminate all the exiled tribes of the Zhou family.

With the lessons learned from the Zhou family, the women in the Nanhua emperor's harem felt lingering fears, and the major families also stopped a lot.

For the next 16 years, not to mention what happened behind the scenes, at least on the surface, the Emperor Nanhua's rule was very stable, and he thought that he had firmly controlled all the women and sons in his harem.

Prince Nanhua was not a mediocre person, he was praised by the Taifu as smart since he was a child. Because of this, the Emperor Nanhua wanted to depose the prince several times and appoint someone else, but finally gave up after weighing it.

In recent years, as the princes gradually matured, the outstanding ones also emerged.

The voices of the young and stable fourth prince and the intelligent and witty sixth prince are getting louder, but relatively speaking, the reputation of this prince is not very good.

It's not that he's so incompetent, it's just that he doesn't know how to handle things flexibly. After several times, he made big mistakes and made small mistakes again and again, and was often scolded by the emperor bloody.

However, because of Empress Chen's efforts to protect him, and the emperor himself seemed to have some secret thoughts, his position as the crown prince has always been stable, and he just hangs there halfway.

Without the support of her mother's family, she was completely controlled by her adoptive mother, and she was not very favored by the emperor.

The situation of the Prince of Nanhua——

In fact, it is not as glorious as it seems on the surface.

But that's it-

He has sat firmly in the position of the crown prince for 20 years, no matter how his brothers try their best, at least so far, no one can shake him.

Everyone felt that the chair he was sitting on was rickety and might topple over at any time, but only the girl in front of him had sharp eyes and could see all his hidden trump cards.

"To confuse the emperor and use the Chen family to escort you, the emperor and empress are still complacent, thinking that they are the ones who will control you to death, but they don't know that they have already been manipulated in the palm of their hands. Once I tell them that they have been cheated, what will happen, do I need to say more?" Chu Xunyang looked at the inexplicable expression on Prince Nanhua's face, "I will take the five cities of Nanhua for your Highness the Prince Continue to be your crown prince in a smooth sailing, no matter how you look at it, you have nothing to lose."

Prince Nanhua's expression was gloomy, his fingers hidden under his sleeves were tightly clenched, he took a deep breath after a while, and said coldly: "I let you say everything, what else can I say? But you don't Counting to fool me, what are the five cities in Changshui County? If you want it, so what if I hand over to you? It’s just—you don’t know what it means to forcibly seize five cities in our country— —”
