C157 That's You

Article 157. That's you!    

    

"Alright, we brothers will tell the Fifth Prince the truth. We do have a purpose here, so I hope you won't be surprised. " Old Liu lowered his voice and said, "The Third Prince isn't actually the Fifth Prince's brother, and the Empress isn't real either!"    

    

Long Xiaotian couldn't help but be startled. Although he already knew about this secret, it shouldn't be that everyone knew about it. Where did these two old men hear about it?    

    

Could it be that they had heard the conversation between the Empress and the Third Prince? Then what were the intentions of these two old men?    

    

Seeing that there was no surprise on Long Xiaotian's face, Old Liu and Old Xu looked at each other. They initially thought that Long Xiaotian would be very surprised if he knew about this news, but they didn't expect him to remain indifferent. Could it be that he already knew about it?    

    

These two didn't ask any further questions. They knew that Long Xiaotian still didn't fully trust them, so they told him the reason why Long Xiaotian came here.    

    

It turned out that Long Jiuzhou wasn't a muddle-headed emperor. At first, he was very happy about the Empress. He thought that the Empress was the woman he had privately decided on for the rest of her life, but after a long time, he realized that the Empress was definitely up to something!    

    

Not only that, Long Yaotian was also not his biological son! This was known by Long Jiuzhou through the blood identification method, so he already knew at that time that this was a conspiracy!    

    

But why didn't Long Jiuzhou point it out even though he knew that there was a conspiracy? That was because Long Jiuzhou wanted to see what kind of power was behind the Empress, what kind of goal they wanted to achieve.    

    

After the Dazhi Dynasty launched the attack on the Great Qian Dynasty, Long Jiuzhou understood that there must be something wrong with the fact that the Dazhi Dynasty wouldn't attack Great Qian for no reason.    

    

The reason why the Dazhi Dynasty launched the attack was probably because it was instigated. Otherwise, if it injured the enemy three thousand times, it would lose eight hundred of its own. Not many people were willing to take such a loss.    

    

Because after losing a lot of Yuan Qi, even if they could win, they still had to prevent other countries from suddenly attacking. At that time, it would be like stealing a chicken and losing a grain of rice.    

    

Generally speaking, only when the other countries had internal conflicts would they take advantage of the situation to invade. Otherwise, even if their military strength had an advantage over the other side, they would not be willing to send out an army at any time.    

    

Thus, when Da Qi suddenly attacked the Great Qian Dynasty, Emperor Long Jiuzhou knew that the mastermind behind this was definitely related to the black hand behind the Empress.    

    

On one hand, he acted like he was personally leading the army, and in fact, he did the same. Otherwise, the other party would not have been so easily fooled and jumped out.    

    

On the other hand, he had arranged for people to take action. As long as the other party really took action, they would be captured in one fell swoop!    

    

"Damn it, this cheap father of mine really has some skill. I imagined him too simply. That's right. How can the leader of the country be so stupid? " Long Xiaotian couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he said, "What you guys said is quite true, but it doesn't make sense. How would I know that what you guys said is true? If you want me to believe it, you have to at least give me some proof that I believe it. "    

    

" Hehe, Fifth Prince, you are right. Please take a look at this item. " Old Liu smiled and placed a seal in Long Xiaotian's hand. Upon closer inspection, there were a few ancient characters on it. He could recognize the characters of this world by relying on his memory. This should be a private stamp from Long Jiuzhou.    

    

A private stamp could not be used on official business. For example, an Imperial Decree was absolutely not allowed. However, it was precisely because it was a private stamp that it could explain some problems. This was because the private stamp was placed close to one's body.    

    

"Alright, I believe your words." Long Xiaotian tossed the seal to Old Liu and said, "Then why did you tell me that I'm just an ordinary prince? There's no need for you to do this, right?"    

    

"Fifth Prince, I haven't finished my words. Now, you believe what I said. I'm just going to finish my words." Old Liu said with a smile, "We have another mission here, which is to find the next city lord for the Emperor."    

    

Long Xiaotian couldn't help but widen his eyes. The city lord of the Imperial City? Wouldn't that be the next Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?    

    

Long Jiuzhou had once issued an Imperial Decree. Before becoming the next Emperor, he had to become the City Lord of the Imperial City. This could be said to be the springboard for the next Emperor.    

    

The original heir to the Imperial City was the Crown Prince, Long Yuetian. After he left this place with his father, the City Lord of the Imperial City should originally belong to Second Prince Long Ao Tian, but Long Aotian didn't get this position.    

    

The reason was very simple. The Crown Prince, Long Yuetian, definitely wouldn't have thought of any accidents when he went out to battle. Thus, although Long Aotian was actually the city lord of the Imperial City, he didn't get the official authorization.    

    

Even if Long Jiuzhou wanted to let Long Aotian take over, he still needed the Imperial Decree of Long Jiuzhou to carry it out.    

    

However, he didn't expect that Long Jiuzhou would have such a secret edict before he left. Although there wasn't an imperial edict, it was enough with his private edict.    

    

What did these two old fellows tell me? Am I the heir they chose?    

    

"The one we chose is you, Fifth Prince." Old Xu suddenly interrupted.    

    

It was true! Long Xiaotian chuckled and said, "You two aren't joking with me, right? Don't scare my little heart. I don't know anything. Isn't it a joke to let me be the heir? "    

    

Old Liu and Old Xu looked at each other. They had considered it very carefully. They felt that Long Xiaotian was the most suitable candidate among all the princes.    

    

There was no need to mention the Third Prince. He wasn't even the flesh and blood of the Emperor. Furthermore, this man had a violent temper. He wasn't qualified to be the ruler of a country.    

    

As for Second Prince Long Ao Tian, he had a cold heart. He was merciless towards his brothers. They didn't like him. What made them even more dissatisfied was that the Second Prince was too impatient. He actually found the Killer's Union to help him.    

    

Even if the Second Prince had no other choice, finding a dark force like the Killer's Union would only drag the Great Qian Dynasty into a fire pit. At that time, the people would be plunged into misery and suffering, and the war would be hard to stop.    

    

The other princes were all mediocre people. Although Long Lingtian was a genius, he was still too young. Moreover, he was focused on the martial path and didn't have the heart to ascend to the throne. Therefore, he could only exclude him.    

    

Just as the two of them were feeling disappointed, Long Xiaotian suddenly appeared out of nowhere. This made them stare at Long Xiaotian, who was known as a useless prince.    

    

Even they were surprised. They had never seen through the Fifth Prince's disguise. He had been hiding from so many people. It could be seen that the Fifth Prince's forbearance had reached the point of perfection.    

    

Who would have thought that this was a huge misunderstanding? However, it was reasonable for the two of them to think this way.
