Chapter 335 The Young Singer's Journey 4
Chapter 335 The Young Singer's Journey 4
To ensure that Xiao Chuhe can quickly regain control of the situation when he returns to the court.
It can be said that Emperor Mingde had meticulously paved a path to the pinnacle of power for Xiao Chuhe, and had considered every detail with utmost care.
Fortunately, the original owner was determined to become emperor, little did he know that Emperor Mingde had never considered him and only used him as a whetstone.
Xiao Yu pondered this information carefully, and gradually some clues began to form in his mind.
Emperor Mingde's intention was clear: he wanted to pass the throne to Xiao Chuhe, without considering the other princes at all.
His health is now gradually deteriorating, and he will likely summon Xiao Chuhe back to the capital soon.
Xiao Yu shook his head and threw the paper and pen in his hand away.
Now that everyone and everything is out in the open, he doesn't need to do any in-depth analysis anymore.
"Chu He!"
Xiao Yu's tone was somewhat wistful.
In his previous life, he also chose Xiao Chuhe as his successor.
However, that one was the crown prince he personally groomed, while this one was a prodigy raised by Xiao Ruofeng and Ji Ruofeng.
I don't know which one is more powerful!
-------------------------------------
"Your Highness?" Long Xie suddenly called softly from outside the door.
Xiao Yu quickly collected his thoughts: "Come in! What happened?"
"News has arrived from beyond the heavens." Long Xie entered the room, holding a letter tightly in his hand, and respectfully presented it.
"The Outer Heavens?" Xiao Yu was momentarily dazed. He hadn't heard this name in a long time and had almost forgotten it.
Upon opening the envelope, I discovered that it was actually written in the handwriting of the White-Haired Immortal.
The letter essentially stated that the twelve-year agreement to lock the mountains and rivers had expired, and the young sect leader, Ye Anshi, was due to return. Given the perilous nature of the martial world and the fear that someone might harm the young sect leader, they earnestly requested the Crimson King's assistance in welcoming him back.
Xiao Yu then remembered that twelve years ago, the Demonic Sect's eastern expedition failed, and Baili Dongjun made a pact to lock the mountains and rivers, leaving Ye Dingzhi's only son, Ye Anshi, as a hostage in Beili. At the same time, he ordered that no one in the Demonic Sect should set foot in Beili for twelve years. Now it was the time for the twelve years to expire.
Previously, in order to increase his power, the original owner did not hesitate to contact Tianwaitian in secret, promising to help Ye Anshi return to Tianwaitian safely. He used this as an opportunity to let Ye Anshi regain control of Tianwaitian as the young sect leader, and eventually make him a powerful assistant in his struggle for the throne.
"Um……"
Xiao Yu frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand, unsure of what to say.
The original owner was truly insane. If he wanted to increase his power, there were so many martial arts sects and families in the world, why didn't he choose one of them? Instead, he chose a roundabout and unorthodox path, colluding with the remnants of the Northern Kingdom from the Outer Heavens.
Xiao Yu was speechless, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Really!
Sometimes, when someone travels to these unfamiliar worlds, they feel quite helpless, and they often encounter people who are not mentally sound.
Especially now, after he transmigrated into the body of this mentally unstable person, he can't even give them a good scolding.
Because every curse he utters will eventually fall back on him.
It seems the original owner also had a creature called Night Raven, who was said to be able to concoct medicine men.
Ah this!
Good heavens! Where did the original owner find all these amazing people?!
"Hey!"
Xiao Yu gently rubbed his temples, his brows revealing a hint of weariness and deep thought. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "Proceed according to plan. Make sure Ye Anshi returns to Tianwaitian safely."
Looking back on his previous life, Ye Dingzhi may have seemed impulsive at first, often swayed by his emotions, but he later became a capable subordinate.
Ye Dingzhi's son, Ye Anshi, surpassed his father even further, standing out among his peers from a young age. Later, he inherited Ye Dingzhi's mantle and became another invincible general of Beili.
Although Xiao Yu had never seen Ye Anshi in this world, he was also unaware of the differences between the two Ye Anshis.
But because of his name, he was willing to lend a helping hand.
After all, in that world, he had watched that child grow up.
-------------------------------------
Xiao Yu stayed in the mansion for two more days, thoroughly analyzing and taking over the original owner's various resources and network of connections. He suppressed his incomprehension, digested the original owner's memories, and tried his best to integrate into this new identity.
It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day after his transmigration that Xiao Yu finally stepped out of his residence and headed towards the imperial court.
In order to prevent others from seeing his ambition, the original owner deliberately created the image of a prince who was obsessed with poetry, wine and romance.
Despite the poorly crafted image and the fact that everyone knew his ambition, they still gave Xiao Yu an excuse for not attending court for three days.
Xiao Yu, who felt he had adjusted his mindset and was ready to face this strange yet familiar world with composure, confidently stepped into the court. However, at first glance, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He spotted the White King on the opposite side at a glance.
Eh?
This face looks so familiar!
He looked up again, gazing at Emperor Mingde seated on the dragon throne.
Ok?
This face looks so familiar.
Looking around again, the court was filled with civil and military officials, all of whom were both familiar and unfamiliar.
Xiao Yu fell silent.
He understood that everyone in the court now, though their faces were familiar, had completely different stances and intentions than in his previous life.
He couldn't judge them based on past impressions; instead, he had to start from scratch and rebuild his understanding of each person.
However, the deep impressions and memories from decades ago make it difficult for him to completely let go of them in a short time.
How easy is it for him to approach and get to know them again with a completely new identity?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu involuntarily frowned, appearing unusually calm.
'Usually, the Seventh Prince always likes to feign madness and foolishness in court, trying to attract the Emperor's attention. Why is he so unusually quiet today?'
Xiao Chong pondered to himself. Although he remained outwardly calm, his heart was in turmoil.
Since Xiao Chuhe was exiled to Qingzhou, only he and Xiao Yu remain as princes in the court capable of participating in the struggle for the throne.
Therefore, he always paid extra attention to Xiao Yu's every move.
Although he was blind, his senses were exceptionally sharp. He could clearly sense the strangeness in the person opposite him, an aura completely different from usual.
Thinking of the news that had come from below, Xiao Chong's heart sank.
Could it be that the seventh prince has really made contact with the former subordinates of the Prince of Langya?
