Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections
Chapter 620: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind (5K chapter, please subscrib
"How's it going? Brother Seventh, is this a great show?" When the third prince successfully entered the kingdom's meeting hall, Lin Yi was squatting on the roof of the kingdom's meeting hall with the seventh prince to watch the show.
These two guys were so bold that they used their long swords to poke a big hole in the roof of the Kingdom Council Hall.
"Hey, kid, Seventh Brother really didn't hurt you in vain before." The Seventh Prince looked pleased and patted Lin Yi's shoulder gently.
Lin Yi took out the pendant that the old king had given him. Not long after Lin Yi left the kingdom's meeting hall, the pendant opened on its own.
Among the pendants, there was only a piece of paper with one sentence neatly written on it: Take Lao Qi away.
This is why Lin Yi and the seventh prince are squatting on the roof of the kingdom's meeting hall at the moment.
Under Lin Yi's notification, the Seventh Prince secretly followed Lin Yi here and waited quietly.
Although the surrounding guards are tightly guarded, like an iron wall, who is the seventh prince? He is the strongest holy warrior in the kingdom.
As long as the seventh prince is willing, the guards around him won't even be able to touch a hair on his head.
Among the several brothers and sisters, the seventh prince has been running outside the palace since he was a child.
After so many years, he knew every plant and tree in the palace like the back of his hand. No one knew the specific time of patrols and shifts in the palace better than him.
In the meeting hall, the old king's eyes slowly swept over everyone.
The current situation is already very obvious. The third prince secretly united with the Iron Hand, Archon Joe Valentine and others.
As for the commander of the kingdom's army, Heslett, he originally supported the third prince. Unfortunately, Heslett had already gone to the border to perform his mission.
The third prince was originally one of the two most promising candidates to become the new king. However, the assassination of the little princess caused his advantage to completely disappear in an instant.
The third prince was full of reluctance. He originally had great prospects, but he was in trouble because of this unexpected incident.
In fact, the third prince has a large number of troops in his hands.
If he wants to rebel, no one can stop him.
But the third prince did not choose this path, or in other words, he was always trying to maintain the stability of the royal capital.
No matter how disadvantaged he was in the struggle for power, he would never mobilize the troops guarding the Wall of God.
In his mind, there is a clear distinction between importance and importance. He can accept failure to seize power, but the Wall of God must be defended.
Originally, the third prince had no hope of ascending to the throne. Who would have thought that Rowan Harvey would turn traitor.
After learning this amazing news, the third prince was surprised and happy at the same time.
Rowan Harvey's treasonous act nearly destroyed the eldest prince's advantage.
Rowan Harvey was responsible for managing the finances, and the eldest prince also held certain financial powers, so there must be an unclear relationship between the two.
When he learned of Rowan Harvey's treason, the eldest prince was so frightened that he almost peed.
He knew very well that Rowan Harvey was traitorous to the country, and he would definitely not reap the consequences.
The kingdom's finances are a closely connected whole, not separate parts.
Therefore, the eldest prince hurriedly stood up to show his loyalty, claiming to withdraw from the power struggle and devote himself to stabilizing the kingdom's finances.
It seems to be righteous, but in fact, he is desperately trying to save his own life.
The old king was not surprised when the eldest prince stepped forward.
Because the old king was very aware of the eldest prince's character, his cautious, elegant, but hypocrite character, which was actually very similar to the old king when he was young.
Because of this, the old king has always been very fond of the eldest prince.
But the third prince also stood up, which surprised the old king.
In the view of the old king, the eldest prince was forced to withdraw, and the third prince was undoubtedly the most favorable candidate.
The third prince dared to jump to the throne so boldly, and one person's help was indispensable, and that person was Joe Valentine.
This henpecked guy was kneeling in front of the old king just now, begging with tears and snot in his nose, but now he stood firmly behind the third prince.
The gift of acquaintance? No kidding.
The old king was determined to kill Joe Valentine. In this case, how could Joe Valentine care about the kindness of knowing him? Royal power is ruthless, and under the royal power, how many of the ministers will be affectionate and righteous.
They are just struggling in the whirlpool of power, constantly changing positions for their own interests.
From other parts of the royal capital, intensive stabbing sounds could be heard. Several assassins dressed in black and holding daggers were stabbing a middle-aged man wildly. The middle-aged man's body twitched and his expensive clothes were stained with blood. .
The fourth princess walked out of the darkness holding a black folding fan. She opened the small folding fan and covered her mouth and nose.
"Anyone who opposes Mathil will die. Who allows him to get the support of so many people?"
The fourth princess snorted coldly. Although she was unwilling to give up, she understood the situation clearly, so she survived.
Similar things are happening in many places in the capital.
However, the army surrounding the seventh prince discovered that the seventh prince was missing. This made the soldiers under the third prince panic.
If the seventh prince really reacted and successfully summoned a large number of holy warriors to enter the royal city, then all the efforts of the third prince before would be in vain, and he could take a complete rest.
As for whether the seventh prince can govern the country, that is not the point at all.
In the Kingdom of Saint Sodin, there is no shortage of financial and political talents. Years of war have already allowed this kingdom to form a self-consistent political system.
In this system, everyone is just a small screw, each playing a specific role to maintain the operation of the kingdom.
Even if the Seventh Prince is not good at governing the country, there are many professionals who can fill this gap and ensure that all affairs of the kingdom can proceed smoothly.
The old king is good at political means. With superb political strategies and conspiracies, he can firmly suppress the people under his command.
The only problem is that he needs a position like the Iron Hand to assist himself to ensure the stability of power.
The Iron Hand is like a sharp blade in the hands of the old king, which can clear obstacles for him at critical moments and maintain the ruling order.
If the Seventh Prince takes the throne, the situation will be very different.
He does not need a position like the Iron Hand. On the contrary, he needs to set up a cabinet to help him consult on state affairs.
The Seventh Prince has a strong military value, which directly excludes the possibility of assassination by the Undead.
In addition, the holy warriors will be more loyal to the empire.
So, no matter who takes the throne, there are pros and cons for the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince.
The third prince has the potential to be a tyrant. He is iron-blooded, ruthless, decisive and thoughtful. He may have more advantages in political struggles.
Although the seventh prince is unruly, he has superior military power and can bring a strong sense of security to the kingdom.
In the meeting hall of the palace, the third prince stepped on the stone stairs step by step, and he was getting closer and closer to the throne.
"It seems that among all my descendants, you are more similar to me." The old king sat on the throne and looked at the third prince with a smile.
The third prince's footsteps suddenly paused, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
He felt that there was something wrong with this old lion, very wrong.
"It took you five years to infiltrate the Royal Guards. It was too slow. It only took me two years." The old king's words were calm and indifferent, but they hit the third prince's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Ha~?" Hearing the old king's words, the always domineering third prince was obviously stunned, with an incredible look on his face.
He never thought that the old king knew his every move.
"Your eldest brother is very good, but his mind is indeed a bit narrow. Just kill him. As for your fourth sister, she may be your helper, but don't forget that she is not the kind of person who is willing to admit defeat. And your seventh brother, being conferred the title of Kingdom Wing is seeking death. I actually wanted to get rid of him a long time ago." The old king narrated calmly, as if talking about a trivial matter.
The third prince could no longer remain calm. He subconsciously took a step back, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At this moment, he personally felt the horror of the old king.
If he fought for power with this old lion, he would not even know how he might die, and he would definitely be played to doubt his life.
After hearing what the old king said, the seventh prince above his head also sighed deeply.
To be honest, he didn't want this Kingdom Wing either, but the problem was that the situation was beyond his control.
Just like the yellow robe, sometimes things are not determined by one's own will.
If the seventh prince did not accept this title, then the holy warriors of the entire kingdom would be alienated from him.
The holy warriors are the base of the Seventh Prince, so he will not do anything that will destroy his foundation.
"I am very relieved that you did not move the troops on the front line. As for the deal you reached with the Iron Hand, I am not very interested, but don't forget that if he is unhappy, your head may fall to the ground." The old king looked indifferent, waved his hand gently, and signaled the third prince to continue forward.
The third prince stood there like a petrified man, motionless.
The originally domineering and majestic third prince was completely deprived of his momentum by the simple words of the old king, as if all his energy and spirit were instantly sucked away.
"Iron Hand, I see through them, but not you. Although I don't know what your purpose is, as long as it is not the kingship, it's fine.
No matter what your purpose is, you first helped me get rid of the unstable factors, and then solved the assassination of the dead spirits. During the struggle for power, you helped me do a lot of things, some glorious, some shameful. Since you want to go under the throne, just go, there is no return."
The old king looked at Joe Valentine, and Joe Valentine subconsciously shrank his neck. The old king now looked like an old lion with a vicious beast standing beside him.
God knows whether this old lion and the vicious beast have reached any deal. Joe Valentine is at best a watchdog. Even if it is a dying lion, he dare not provoke it.
It seems that there is some kind of induction in the dark. The old king curled up in the chair and couldn't help but raise his head and look straight at the ceiling.
And at this moment, the old king's eyes met Lin Yi's eyes, and they looked at each other.
Beside Lin Yi, the Seventh Prince scratched his head a little embarrassedly, looking like a child caught red-handed for doing something wrong.
When the old king saw this scene, his heart, which was already somewhat relieved, was filled with joy, and he laughed heartily in the Kingdom's meeting hall.
The old king's laughter echoed in the meeting hall, and the Third Prince, Su Xiao and Joe Valentine couldn't help but take a step back.
The weapons in the hands of the surrounding guards couldn't help but tremble, as if they were not surrounding a corrupt old man at the moment, but a dead monarch exuding a terrifying aura.
After a while, the old king finally stopped laughing.
"Bring a pen." Although the old king's voice was a little old, it still carried unquestionable majesty.
Joe Valentine hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to disobey. He took the paper and pen from the side hall and presented it to the old king respectfully.
The old king held the parchment and wrote a few lines on it.
After writing, the old king held the parchment tightly and slowly turned his eyes to Su Xiao.
"Iron Hand, are you sure you want to go under the throne?"
"Of course."
"Okay, the rest is up to you." The old king nodded slightly, as if he was satisfied with Su Xiao's answer.
Just when everyone thought that things would develop according to a certain established trajectory, Su Xiao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the old king's neck.
"Iron Hand, what are you doing!" Seeing Su Xiao pinching the old king's neck, the third prince roared and was shocked.
His face was full of shock. He did not expect Su Xiao to do such a bold move.
Su Xiao and the old king looked at the third prince at the same time, which made the third prince's cheek twitch and a strong fear surged in his heart.
The third prince has understood that these two are much more terrifying than other contenders for the throne.
One seems to see through everything and is unfathomable; the other is cold and ruthless, and there is no one he dares not kill.
"It seems that your heir is not ruthless enough." Su Xiao's voice was cold, as if he was evaluating an insignificant item.
"The throne will make him more ruthless and more decisive. Killing is what you are best at." There was no fear on the old king's face, but a strange calmness.
"No problem."
With a crisp "click", Su Xiao strangled the old king's neck under the stunned expression of the third prince.
The third prince did not want to kill the old king, but he did not dare to kill him. This old lion was too terrible.
He knew the old king's methods and scheming very well. Once he took action himself, he would be doomed.
At this moment, the sound of tiles breaking suddenly came from the top of everyone's head. The next second, two figures fell from the sky and fell into the crowd.
"Seventh brother?" The third prince, who was still immersed in the news of the old king's death, saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
You know, this time in order to deal with the old king, he brought only a hundred guards.
For the seventh prince, two hundred people are not a threat at all.
"Oh, my dear third brother, I didn't expect that I would be the one to fight you in the end." The seventh prince showed a slightly playful smile on his face, and a long sword with wings appeared out of thin air in his hand.
This long sword was a treasure given to the seventh prince by the old king when he was awarded the position of the Wing of the Kingdom.
The seventh prince has always carried this sword with him and rarely used it to kill people.
Until today, at this critical moment, he finally drew out the sword.
Because the two broke the ceiling, the bright moonlight sprinkled on them like water.
A trace of soft moonlight was reflected by the blade in the seventh prince's hand, and instantly reflected in the eyes of the third prince.
The third prince couldn't help but take a step back, with a look of horror on his face.
Although the third prince was in charge of the military power and his own military strength was not weak, he was far behind the powerful holy warrior of the seventh prince.
The military strength of the seventh prince was compared with that of the dead monarch, the ceiling of combat power in this world.
[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both parties...Comparison completed, our intelligence attribute is 1.3 times that of the enemy, and 100% of the enemy's information is obtained (detection eye increased by 20%). ]

A very plain panel, all the skills of the Seventh Prince are related to the sword, and the Seventh Prince deserves to be called the strongest in the kingdom. This attribute is really strong.
If nothing else, the Grandmaster of Swordsmanship Lv.11 alone is enough to fully prove the strength of the Seventh Prince.
Seeing this, the Third Prince hurriedly ordered the surrounding guards to surround and kill.
But unfortunately, the Seventh Prince grew up under the strict training of the Royal Guards, and no one knew the weaknesses of the Royal Guards better than him.
The Seventh Prince cut a bloody path with his sword and came to the Third Prince. (End of this chapter)
