20demayo Chapter 156
Chapter 156
None of the more than ten princes of Xia Kingdom are easy-going. They are all waiting for the arrival of the last moment. With the ability of several princes, they are simply powerless to save the situation. It's just that the royal family is unwilling to admit it.
Unless there is the help of the clan house, they can directly solve the princes secretly, but Long Tian will not let this happen.
Moreover, we can't underestimate the princes of various places. Knowing that the clan house is powerful, will they be unprepared?
On that day, taking advantage of the New Year, most people's energy is scattered, and Long Tian secretly left the royal villa.
With the strength of the masters around Long Tian now, it is not difficult to avoid the surveillance of others.
Huancai Pavilion is a brothel famous in Kyoto. No one knows that the behind-the-scenes owner of this brothel is the sixth prince of the current dynasty. This is also an important place for the sixth prince to make money.
During the New Year, many people went home to reunite, and few people came to visit the brothel, but this largest brothel in Kyoto was still overcrowded, which shows the ability to attract money here.
"Oh, this young man looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"
When the madam saw Long Tian, she immediately determined that he was a wealthy man.
"Come here, give me a reward."
"This young master wants to see your top girl, Miss Yunyan."
Long Tian used to go to the brothel frequently, but this was his first time, so it was quite new.
"Miss Yunyan, please follow me."
The madam was not calm. Miss Yunyan was not someone that everyone could see. She did exist, but for people in Kyoto, they only heard of her but never saw her.
This was also easy to understand. She was just a gimmick. Every time the Sixth Prince met a guest here, her name was the contact code.
The madam immediately knew that this was the Sixth Prince's guest. She did not dare to neglect him and directly asked Long Tian to go upstairs.
Long Tian looked around. The decoration here was not bad, and the girls were of high quality, but it was a pity that he was not interested.
Long Tian was not worried about being recognized by others. When he came out, he naturally made some preparations. Moreover, Long Tian did not bring too many people with him. Only Song Que and Fu Hongxue followed him.
They were also strangers in Kyoto. No one would have thought that the dignified King of the North would not stay at home for the New Year and actually go to a brothel.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances. Please forgive me."
The Sixth Prince Xiao Yuancheng looks gentle and refined, but in fact, this kind of person is the most insidious and full of bad water. If it were an ordinary person, who would want to hit his sister.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. Let's get straight to the point. Once the news of our meeting here spreads, it will not be good for you or me."
Long Tian went straight to the point.
"Your Majesty is a quick-witted person, so I'll just say it straight."
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you know the situation in Kyoto, so I won't say much. The reason I met you is to get your support. Don't worry, as long as I sit in that position in the end, everything in the North will remain unchanged."
"At the same time, I will give you another state. I'm sure you will win this time. I also believe that you will definitely win. With the rewards in the later period, you will have three states, and your strength will not be inferior to that of the King of Zhennan."
Long Tian had no expression on his face, but he kept cursing in his heart. This guy is a slippery guy.
Now Long Tian has taken the princess and got another state in addition to the North and Zongzhou. With the bargaining chip of the Sixth Prince, it is obviously four states, but this guy said three states, which is clearly his intention to take Zongzhou.
It is too stingy to make up for the unjustifiable and unreasonable, which is his bargaining chip.
Although Long Tian saw through the Sixth Prince's plan, he did not expose it. It was meaningless.
"Sixth Prince, you also know that my northern border is far away from Kyoto. Even if I want to help you, I am powerless. There are Qingzhou and Xingzhou in between."
What Long Tian said is true.
"Prince, after my sister's marriage this time, you can directly take Qingzhou. Anyway, everywhere is the same. Qingzhou is close to the northern border, and there is no powerful force entrenched in Qingzhou. I believe that the prince will be able to control it soon."
"As for Xingzhou, it is the territory of my second brother, and my power is in Danzhou. The Yunzhou next to it is controlled by my second brother, and Huaizhou on the other side is the power of the prince. I am alone."
"As long as the prince is involved in Xingzhou, it will be the greatest help to me. Of course, if the prince can help me take Xingzhou, it would be the best. Afterwards, I will never forget the prince's great kindness."
The sixth prince directly revealed his trump card and predicament.
The Sixth Prince really had no other choice. Not only was Danzhou weak, but there were also powerful forces around him. Not only were there the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, but there were also several vassal kings behind them.
Once these people attacked at the same time, the Sixth Prince would not be able to fight for the throne, and he might even lose his life.
It was precisely because of this dilemma that the Sixth Prince had no choice but to borrow the Seventh Princess's relationship. Ask for help from Long Tian.
As long as Long TianWilling, at least he can share some of the pressure of the second prince.
But this guy is not honest. The future of cooperation is equal, but the reward given by this guy is not equal. He is just writing a blank check.
Long Tian knows it well, but he doesn't say much. Long Tian wants the name. As for the rest, it can only be decided after the result.
"Your Highness should know that my northern border is not only facing the threat of Liang State, but also the barbarians. It is not easy to raise a large army to support Your Highness."
"Your Highness must know about the conflict between me and the Divine Wind Sword Sect yesterday. Not to mention that my own life is in danger, the final result of the marriage selection is also undecided. How can you be sure that my king still has the strength to help you?"
"Although I know that you and the seventh princess are siblings, if my king wins in the end, I should help you both emotionally and rationally, but my strength does not allow it."
Long Tian also put forward his own difficulties. These things do not need to be checked, and others are not fools.
"Your Highness, troubled times are coming. I and you both need to survive. In the face of adversity, we can only keep each other warm. With my little sister, we are the most solid alliance."
"Only if I ascend the throne as soon as possible can I get the power to mobilize the clan office. Then I can integrate all the forces of Xia country and help you resist the enemy."
"Peace is beneficial to both sides. We must act as soon as possible."
It's all empty talk, without any practical benefits.
An engagement can indeed play a certain role, but in the face of huge interests, fathers and sons, brothers can kill each other. What's the use of an engagement, not to mention the daughter of one's enemy, whom he has never met.
"Sixth Prince is willing to use the power of the whole country to help me? You should know who I killed last night?"
Long Tian asked with seeming joy.
"Of course, you are my brother-in-law, how can I not help you."
Yes, he became my brother-in-law so soon.
Long Tian paced in place, seeming to have made a great determination.
"Okay, I, the Northern Territory, am willing to do my best and wish you success."
As if he had made a great determination, Long Tian squeezed out these words with difficulty.
