"Of course I have to fight for it, but not now. Okay, why are you talking so much? I'm still waiting to go fishing, you guys can just stroll around by yourselves. Remember, don't provoke anyone from Shrek Academy for now. Wait for my order later."
Du Bu Si's eyes moved slightly, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the sight of the two people.
Lang Ya and Yu Tao looked at each other.
"Forget it, just treat it as a trip." Lang Ya said helplessly.
"It's the only way." Yu Tao agreed.
……
If we were to ask which is the most prosperous city in Douluo Continent, it would undoubtedly be the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon City, also known as Mingdu.
Not only does the entire city have a population of over ten million, but it also does not have the kind of city walls that the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms cities had for protection. Because an extremely large defense system has been built within the city, the role of the city walls has been gradually abandoned.
Looking down from the air, buildings with heights exceeding tens of meters, and even up to a hundred meters, stand on the earth like steel pillars, and you can't even see the end of them.
The sun's rays shine across this vibrant city. The main road, which is more than 30 meters wide, is bustling with people coming and going, and the streets are filled with busy crowds of people.
East Palace, in the back garden.
The area here is not particularly large, but it is planted with a large number of rare plants, many of which are even species that have long been extinct in the world.
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the elegant aroma always makes people feel relaxed and happy. The warm sunshine makes people feel sleepy and can't help but want to sleep soundly.
A bronze-skinned young man leaned on the wheelchair, squinting his eyes, enjoying the comfort of the sunlight shining on him.
The gentle warm breeze blew, causing the few bamboo leaves in the garden to sway, making a rustling sound.
But the peaceful environment did not last long before it was broken. A hurried sound of footsteps came from a distance and finally stopped behind the young man sitting in the wheelchair.
"Your Highness, something serious has happened."
The man appeared to be about forty years old, with a resolute face and a strong body. He was wearing armor that glowed dimly, like a general commanding an army.
"Speak." The young man in the wheelchair did not open his eyes, but spoke lightly.
"The southwestern nobles of the Xingluo Empire were destroyed." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the young man in the wheelchair suddenly opened his eyes. He drove the wheelchair with his right hand, making it rotate on the spot and face the middle-aged man.
The young man’s face was not particularly handsome, but his eyes, without any emotion, gave people an indescribable sense of intimidation, which was the aura of a superior.
And he is none other than the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran.
"What exactly happened?"
The middle-aged man responded quickly: "Just the day before yesterday, the nobles in the southwest of the Xingluo Empire suddenly asked us for help, saying that the Xingluo Empire royal family was planning to attack them. After receiving the news, Marshal Wang Long, who was guarding the eastern border, immediately sent a team to attack the Xingluo Empire garrison through the Mingdou Mountains."
"We planned to divert the attention of the Xingluo Imperial Family as we had in the past. However, when the conflict between us and the Xingluo Empire was raging, Xia Chenxuan, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group, sent us a message saying that the nobles in the southwest had been completely wiped out, and that the entire southwest region was now under the control of the Xingluo Imperial Family again."
Xu Tianran frowned, thinking, and soon found the key point. His face was cold, "What a good plan of Xingluo Royal Family, killing two birds with one stone. It seems that their emperor is not a fool."
The middle-aged man was stunned, obviously not thinking on the same level as Xu Tianran.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Xu Tianran said calmly: "The Xingluo royal family should have sent people to the southwest to lie dormant first, and then deliberately spread false news to induce the southwestern nobles to be nervous, and then asked us for help. When the people asking for help came to us, the spirit masters of the Xingluo royal family immediately took action. I'm afraid that the southwestern nobles were wiped out that day."
"Is Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger at the border?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed. "According to the information from the spies on the front line, it seems that the commander-in-chief of the Xingluo Empire this time is not Dai Hao. Even several of the legions controlled by Dai Hao have been split up."
Xu Tianran sighed, "That's right. Dai Hao was most likely called back to Xingluo City by the Xingluo Emperor in advance, on the pretext of participating in the Soul Fighting Competition. When we send out our troops, he will be able to force Dai Hao to stay and send his own trusted men to control the military power of the Xingluo Empire's Western Army Group."
"This..." The middle-aged man's face froze, "Then Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"Does the emperor have any plans?" Xu Tianran asked.
"No, but His Majesty has summoned the Prime Minister and several other adults to discuss this matter. After all, the annihilation of the southwestern nobles will have a great impact on our future plans." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Where are my good brothers?" Xu Tianran continued to ask.
"They want to use this incident to demonstrate their abilities, and they will most likely take the initiative to offer advice to Your Majesty."
"Heh." Xu Tianran smiled faintly, "A group of people who can only play small tricks will never be able to accomplish great things."
"Your Highness is right." The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly, looked at the floor, and spoke in a very respectful tone.
"Chen Yan, do you want to be the future commander of the Empire's Southern Army?" Xu Tianran looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
The middle-aged man was shocked, but he did not hesitate and replied, "Yes."
"Very good." Xu Tianran nodded with satisfaction. "You are my loyal subject. Since you are a loyal subject, you must be treated as a loyal subject should be."
The middle-aged man's breathing became rapid, waiting for the arrangements made by the Crown Prince in front of him.
Xu Tianran said, "My brothers are very eager for the throne, and what we need to do is to continue to fight with them for power in various positions. This time we have the chance. Father and the Prime Minister can't come up with anything, so there will be a court meeting tomorrow. If Father asks how to solve the Xingluo Empire issue, you will listen to me."
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Dai Hao is known as the God of War in the Xing Luo Empire, but they don't know that all the honors Dai Hao has received are given to him by us. The local conflicts, big and small, over the years have enriched his resume. The stronger he is, the more the royal family fears him. In this case, we must not let him lose his rights in the Xing Luo Empire."
"So, we need Dai Hao to return. When the time comes, you should tell His Majesty that after the Fighting Spirit Competition is over, we will directly launch a Level 3 military strike against the legion controlled by the new Marshal of the Xing Luo Empire. There is no way they can stop us."
"When the Xingluo Empire is defeated, there will definitely be internal disagreements, and Dai Hao is very likely to take command again. Because when Dai Hao was the marshal, they always won, but if he changed the marshal, they would lose. Doesn't this highlight the importance of Dai Hao?"
"As for whether the other two countries in the former Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy will be alert to us because of the war conflict, it is also easy to deal with. When Dai Hao takes over, we can just let it go and reduce the intensity of the military strikes. We can even deliberately lose a few games and then end the war."
"This will not only allow Dai Hao to return to the position of commander, but also further strengthen his prestige and the gap between him and the royal family. It will also allow the former Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy to breathe a sigh of relief."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's breathing became heavier.
"Now, do you know what to do?" Xu Tianran asked with a smile.
"I understand." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Very good." Xu Tianran said, "If you can do it well, I will recommend you to the emperor to serve in the Southern Army at the court meeting tomorrow."
"I will go through fire and water to share your worries, Your Highness." The middle-aged man knelt on one knee and said with great respect.
"I need to rest." Xu Tianran smiled gently.
"I'm leaving now." The middle-aged man bowed, took a few steps back, and then left the garden.
"It's better for the Xingluo Empire to have a dog-eat-dog political situation, but we must not upset the balance."
Looking at the scenery of blooming flowers, a hint of coldness flashed across Xu Tianran's eyes. If it weren't for his disabled legs, how could those "friendly and respectful" brothers pose any threat to him.
He also won't bother trying to find ways to seize power.
But... this method is too inefficient. He needs a faster way to seize all power and then launch a war to unify the continent.
Create a feat that no one in this world has ever accomplished: unify the continent.
"Do you really want to agree to their request?"
Gradually, Xu Tianran's eyes became more profound.
"Your Highness, the tea you requested is here."
Suddenly, a gentle voice was heard. Xu Tianran didn't even turn his head, but stretched out his left hand. The next moment, he took the teacup from a snow-white and tender little hand.
Holding the teacup, Xu Tianran took a sip comfortably, feeling the fragrance of tea filling his mouth, and his mood also relaxed a little.
"As expected, I have to get used to the tea you make, Orange."
Xu Tianran said with a smile.
"Your Highness, you are joking. I still have a lot to learn compared to the tea art masters in the palace."
To the side of Xu Tianran, there stood a stunning girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, her delicate body covered by a yellow dress. She had a pair of extremely lively eyes, with orange pupils, soft black hair falling down, and extremely white, tender and smooth skin. Under the sunlight, she was as beautiful as crystal clear jelly.
"You just like to be modest." It seems that only in front of the girl can Xu Tianran let go of the gloom in his heart.
The orange-red lips and smile are more charming than the flowers in the garden.
"By the way, how about the teacher I found for you?" Xu Tianran turned his head and looked at Juzi.
"Although Mr. Xuan is quite strict, his teaching level is extremely high. During this period of time, I have made rapid progress under his guidance. Speaking of which, I have to thank His Highness, otherwise I would not have been able to come into contact with a soul mentor of this level."
Orange walked behind Xu Tianran, gently kneading Xu Tianran's shoulders and massaging him.
Feeling the comfort on his shoulder, Xu Tianran showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
"It's a pity that this person cannot be recruited, otherwise it would be perfect." Xu Tianran said casually.
Orange smiled and said, "Teacher Xuan is used to being free, there is nothing we can do about it."
Xu Tianran nodded, and they both fell silent.
After a long time, Xu Tianran spoke again, "In addition to learning soul guide technology, you should also start trying to learn military knowledge."
Orange did not stop rubbing his shoulders, but a hint of joy flashed in his beautiful eyes.
"As long as I gain control of the empire, I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the entire army. However, the burden is too heavy, and I don't know if you can handle it." Xu Tianran said.
"No matter what, Orange will never let your Highness down." Orange's voice was firm.
Xu Tianran smiled slightly, "With your intelligence, I believe you can do it, but you have to try this road. After all, I still have many enemies now."
"Juzi believes that Your Highness can get what he wants." Juzi said in a soft tone.
"Haha." Xu Tianran laughed twice, reached out and patted Orange's soft little hand, "Okay, go back to the academy, I want to be alone."
"Yes, sir." Removing his hands from his shoulders, Orange bowed respectfully and walked outside.
The fresh fragrance from the nasal cavity gradually dissipated. Xu Tianran's mind seemed to be caught by something. He turned his head to look at Orange, whose pretty figure had already walked away. Even though it was just her back, it was still particularly tempting.
only……
Xu Tianran slowly clenched his fists together.
"It seems that this choice should be made."
I changed the skin color of all the male members of the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire to bronze.
Then, my computer broke down these two days, and I had to buy new parts and wait for them to be installed, which resulted in no updates. I apologize to everyone.
Chapter 160: A Gamble, a Motorcycle Becomes a Jeep
Chapter 160: A Gamble, a Motorcycle Becomes a Jeep [6400 words]
In two days, the first round of the round-robin tournament was successfully completed. However, unlike the hard-fought elimination rounds, the round-robin tournament had to go through several games, which made the battles of each academy tend to be more peaceful and more focused on teamwork rather than rushing forward.
Although it is not stimulating enough, it must be said that the level of team battles in the round-robin tournament has risen sharply.
The winning team wants to maintain its winning record, while the losing team will analyze its next opponent very seriously and make full preparations.
But all this has nothing to do with the people of Shrek Academy.
After a day or two of rest, all Shrek members were in high spirits. When night fell, Wang Yan, one of the deputy team leaders, immediately planned to take everyone to Xingluo City for some fun.
Walking out of the brightly lit Star King Hotel, I saw a huge group of people gathered together, and around me there was a bustling crowd of people walking around, it was very lively.
Xu Sanshi looked at Wang Yan curiously and asked, "Teacher Wang, you are not really planning to take us to have fun, are you? There are also female students."
Hearing this, the female students in the team looked at Wang Yan collectively.
Wang Yan laughed, "The fun I'm talking about is not the fun you think of."
"You can't blame us for this. It was you who said you wanted to have fun. Xu Sanshi burst into laughter. He must have been looking forward to it for a long time." Beibei interrupted.
Hearing this, Xu Sanshi's face changed instantly. He glanced at Jiang Nannan, who had no expression on her face, and immediately said seriously, "You are laughing so hard. I already have someone I like in my heart. I will never go to that kind of place."
"What kind of place?" Beibei said with a half-smile.
"Uh..." Xu Sanshi reacted immediately. Damn, he was fooled. "Beibei, take my punch."
As he said that, Xu Sanshi clenched his fist and punched Beibei.
Friendly greetings between brothers.
"Are these two people like this all the time?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan was helpless, "It's about the same."
"Teacher Wang and Senior Sister should take me to the auction, right?"
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao spoke.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes moved slightly.
Xu Sanshi and Beibei, who were burning with passion, also stopped what they were doing and turned to look over.
However, Wang Yan and Zhang Lexuan were somewhat surprised.
Wang Yan admitted it directly, "Yes, the fun I mentioned is taking you to the auction. Yuhao, how did you know about it?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “I heard from the hotel staff that Xingluo City has been holding quite a few auctions recently. Considering what you said about going out for fun, Teacher Wang, this is probably it.”
