Chapter 693 The Truth
11543 in the imperial calendar.
The emperor of the Wulf Empire has been in power for 278 years, and has many heirs, among which the best and most popular are the two eldest sons, namely the first prince and the second prince.
The Eldest Prince has a gentle temperament and has an excellent reputation among the people. There are also a large number of supporters among the major nobles, and he is also the emperor's favorite. He is the undisputed number one heir to the throne.
Messiah and Chilong were members of the pro-military knights around the eldest prince at that time.
In contrast, although the second prince is also a great talent, he has shown extraordinary political and military talents since he was a child, but compared to the first prince, his voice is more than a little weaker.
There are even rumors from the outside world that His Majesty the Emperor intends to formally confer the eldest prince as Crown Prince.
At this moment, a catastrophic helium flash erupted suddenly from a star in an important galaxy, and the eldest prince who happened to be patrolling nearby was naturally appointed by the emperor to appease the refugees and preside over the disaster relief work.
In order to rush to the galaxy where the incident happened as soon as possible, the eldest prince only brought his own bodyguards with him, and he was lightly dressed.
Naturally, their route was kept absolutely confidential, but on the way to the disaster-stricken galaxy, the eldest prince and his party were suddenly attacked by unknown armed forces.
Although the guards fought bloody battles, they were outnumbered. In the end, the first prince's ship was sunk, and there was a big explosion during the battle, and no one on board escaped.
In the end, only Chilong and Messiah managed to escape from the encirclement by relying on the captain-level legendary mecha, and wandered in the universe for a whole month relying on the severely damaged mecha. Just when they were about to despair, they were lucky was rescued by a passing merchant ship.
They immediately prepared to find out the real culprit, but at this time they learned that the eldest prince had been declared "died of illness". Obviously, the imperial family had decided to cover up the truth about the eldest prince's death in an attack.
The two didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that this was a choice made by the royal family to cover up the news in order to avoid turmoil in the empire.
However, they contacted the royal family through secret channels. In the end, they did not wait for reinforcements from the royal family, but instead waited for a group of pursuers, and the forces behind the pursuers... vaguely point to the Grand Duke of Horton!
The Grand Duke of Horton, one of the five great dukes of the empire, and at the same time... the grandfather of the second prince!
Knowing that they have been involved in the struggle for the throne, the two started their escape again, almost escaped the pursuit of many levels, and finally wandered to the Broken Star Realm and became bandits.
They knew that they were definitely not the opponents of the Second Prince's forces, so they could only keep their identities incognito and deal with their appearance. In order to avoid their characteristics being too obvious, the two decided to develop separately to reduce the possibility of exposure.
Facts have proved that gold can shine everywhere, and the two elites of the empire soon laid a foundation in the Broken Star Field.
On the surface, they are hostile to each other, but in fact they secretly communicated with each other. With the secret support of each other, the two developed step by step, and finally became one of the seven pirates.
Of course, being a pirate leader is not their ultimate goal. They have been waiting for an opportunity to reveal the truth.
However, the second prince's momentum grew stronger and stronger, and his tentacles even reached to the nearby star field. This made them even more desperate, and they even gave up their thoughts of revenge for the first prince.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind never stopped. Heifan's "Dragon Slaying Plan" forced Messiah to expose his relationship with Chilong, and finally attracted the attention of the second prince and his team...
……
"Pfft!" Spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, Nie Yun was surprised when he heard it, "You mean, the great prince of the empire was raped by others, and everyone thought he died of illness, and this thing just passed away gone?"
No matter how you look at it, this is not logical!
Even if it was announced that the eldest prince had "died of illness" in order to cover up the scandal of the same-sex rivalry, it would be normal to settle the accounts after the autumn, and afterward, there would be a bloody purge, and then the prince involved in the case would be demoted to common people and imprisoned for life, right?
Even if the real culprit behind the attack can't be found out, but according to the principle of "the person with the greatest interest suspects the most", the second prince will definitely not get well.
But the family is living more and more nourishing until now, no matter how you look at it, it seems weird.
"Yeah!" The code name behind him nodded again and again, indicating that it did not conform to the routine of "Nine Dragons Seizing the Inheritance".
"Hey! Maybe...it's because of the Grand Duke of Horton..." Messiah said helplessly.
"The Grand Duke of Houghton is the most powerful of the five great dukes, not only has a large number of noble private soldiers, but also has great influence in the military.
Not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, it may not be easy to convict him.
Now that the political situation in the empire is unstable, if it provokes the opponent, it is likely to cause further division of the empire. "
This is also the most likely guess in their after-the-fact analysis. The emperor of the empire is not ignorant of the truth, but a mouse-hunter.
That's it!
Nie Yun nodded, why can brother Wuji be the leader of Mingjiao?
martial arts?record?Whoever has learned the Great Teleportation of the Universe will be the leader?shallow!
Anyone who has been with social animals knows that the most important reason is nothing else... It is because the other party has a good grandfather!
"The First Prince and Second Prince are His Majesty's best heirs, and now that the First Prince is gone, if the Second Prince is dealt with, then the royal family will really have no successors.
Thinking about it now, even if we actually met His Majesty himself, he might have chosen to execute us secretly to prevent the news from leaking..." Chilong also smiled wryly.
Um!Blind student, you discovered Huadian!
From this point of view, what the second prince was most worried about was not that the news would reach the emperor's ears, but that the two of them should be obtained by other princes and used as tools to attack him.
After all, the emperor did not dare to reveal the news, and other contenders for the throne did not have such concerns.
It is estimated that they still hope that the second prince and the emperor will completely break up and get their brains out, so that they can fish in troubled waters.
Once the news was made public, even if he didn't want to, the emperor had to say something.
But in the final analysis, this is after all a rivalry between the top executives. Messiah and Chilong are irrelevant pawns, no matter who falls into the hands, I am afraid it will not end well.
This is probably why they never thought of revealing the matter.
If you don't poke it out, you can still live, but if you poke it out, you will die anyway.
"But no matter what, he was directly confronting the emperor. That Grand Duke of Horton dared to risk the world to attack and kill the eldest prince. Did he do it for a grandson?" Nie Yun asked suspiciously.
You must know that if this charge is confirmed, it will be no different from treason.
In case the emperor came to kill him for the sake of his beloved son, the family of the Duke of Horton would probably be wiped out.
This is completely betting on the future of the second prince with the life of the whole family!
"Yes! For the sake of the second prince, the Duke of Horton really has the possibility to take this risk!"
Unexpectedly, Messiah gave an affirmative answer.
"The second prince is the most beloved descendant of Duke Houghton, not one of them!
It is said that the second prince once had a conflict with the grandson of the Duke of Horton when he was a child, and his head was broken and his face was almost disfigured. After that, there was no news of the other party from the outside world. "
"Hiss~" Nie Yun and Codename Qiqi gasped.
Vaporized his own grandson for the sake of his grandson? !
He finally understood why the emperor didn't dare to attack the second prince.
This is more than spoiling, it's simply perverted!
