Chapter 245: Crisis of the Empire
Return to the royal family.

Wang Quan Wumu sat on a chair in the pavilion, sipping tea, while standing in front of him was a man in a gorgeous robe.

Although so much time has passed, Wang Quan Wumu still recognizes the other party's identity.

It was the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Beng, who was known as a playboy.

Avalanche has also grown a lot at this time, and is no longer as childish as before, but his temperament is still slightly better.

After all, he comes from the royal family.

Wang Quan Wumu shook the teacup in his hand, raised his head and looked at the avalanche in front of him, and asked calmly: "I wonder what brings you here this time, Fourth Prince?"

The fourth prince Xue Beng had a frown on his brow and a resolute expression, but he finally knelt down in front of Wang Quan Wumu with a plop.

Seeing this, Wang Quan Wumu was also a little surprised. After all, it was not easy to make Xue Beng kneel on the ground willingly.

"Please help me, senior..."

"help you with what?"

Wang Quan Wumu asked with narrowed eyes.

"The Tiandou Empire is in chaos now, and I don't know where my elder brother has gone. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so I want to inherit the throne of the Tiandou Empire..."

Hearing this, Wang Quan Wumu's right hand, which was holding the teacup, suddenly paused for a moment, then he slightly side-glanced and looked at the Fourth Prince Xue Beng who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "Xue Beng, you should also know that the throne of the Tiandou Empire belongs to "Xue Qinghe". You are openly rebelling. Aren't you a little ignorant of your own life?"

Xue Beng naturally knew this, and also understood that if he did not use some tricks, it would be impossible for him to become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

It was for this reason that Xue Beng came to the Wang Quan family, hoping that Wang Quan Wu Mu could help him become the emperor of the Tian Dou Empire.

Xue Beng gritted his teeth, looked up at Wang Quan Wu Mu, and said with a firm gaze: "Senior, my elder brother is not what he seems to be. He must have been behind the chaos in the empire. Although I have a reputation as a playboy, I still have hope for the future of the empire. I cannot watch the empire fall into the hands of treacherous people."

"And maybe Big Brother has something to do with the Spirit Hall..."

Wang Quan Wumu gently put down the teacup, stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance with deep eyes. "Do you have any evidence? This is such a big thing, we can't just rely on your one-sided words."

Xue Beng took out a blood-stained jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Wang Quan Wumu, "Senior, I accidentally found this in the secret compartment of my eldest brother's study. There is a strange aura engraved on this jade pendant. I secretly asked someone to check it out. This aura is related to the Wuhun Empire, and that force seems to be manipulating Xue Qinghe."

Wang Quan Wumu took the jade pendant and examined it, frowning slightly. "This jade pendant is indeed strange, but it alone is not enough to bring him down. What else do you know?"

Xue Beng took a deep breath and continued, "I also found out that in recent years, tax revenues in many parts of the empire have inexplicably decreased, and the officials in charge of taxation have had close contact with Xue Qinghe, and then those officials disappeared without a trace.

I suspect they were either silenced or hidden by Xue Qinghe in order to drain the empire's finances for his own future actions."

At this time, a breeze blew through the pavilion, blowing up the corners of Wang Quan Wumu's clothes.

Wang Quan Wu Mu turned around and stared at Xue Beng. "How do you want me to help you? Although my Wang Quan family is prestigious, we cannot interfere in the affairs of the empire without reason."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xue Beng's eyes. "Senior, I just need you to come forward for me at a critical moment to intimidate those wavering people in the court and the forces behind Xue Qinghe. With your reputation and strength, you will surely make them fearful. As long as I ascend to the throne, I will definitely rectify the government, restore the Tiandou Empire to its former glory, and maintain good relations with the Wangquan family for generations."

Wang Quan Wu Mu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I need to think about this matter again, you go back first and wait for my news." Xue Beng knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

Wang Quan Wumu looked at Xue Beng's back as he left, then glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and said calmly, "Qian Renxue, it seems that your identity has been exposed after all."

………………

Because of the departure of "Xue Qinghe", the Tiandou Empire can now be said to be leaderless. Although it is managed by the Wangquan family and the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi, there are still many people who want to become the emperor of the empire.

Because of this, many ministers expressed strong dissatisfaction and even resorted to violence.

If Ning Fengzhi hadn't stopped it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Because Wang Quan Wumu had already left, those ministers who supported the Fourth Prince Xue Avalanche began to speak out.

Even Xue Xing, a prince of the empire, came over and showed some dissatisfaction.

………………

Xue Beng returned to the palace and came to the room of his uncle, Prince Xue Xing.

Prince Xuexing also noticed his nephew's expression at this moment, and knew what he was worried about.

"Avalanche, you must remember that those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. If you want to sit on the throne of the emperor, then there is only one opportunity waiting for you."

Hearing this, Xue Beng immediately raised his head and looked at his uncle with confusion, not understanding what he was saying.

Prince Xuexing looked at the scenery of Tiandou City, his eyes fixed on the distance, and then he said leisurely: "Emperors have always been ruthless. If you want those ministers to be afraid of you, or to make those people fear you, you only have one way to go."

"Which way?"

Avalanche asked hurriedly.

"Plotting to usurp the throne!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became eerily quiet. Even Xue Beng looked at his uncle with surprise. He never expected that his uncle would want him to usurp the throne.

Isn't this clearly seeking death?
However, Prince Xuexing patted him on the shoulder and said calmly: "I will arrange soldiers to surround the palace. Even if those guys want to mobilize troops, it will be too late."

"Xue Beng, you have to remember that this empire belongs to our Xue family. It doesn't matter who does it, as long as they are from the Xue family. Do you understand?"

Prince Xuexing questioned in a nonchalant tone.

However, after listening to his uncle's words, Xue Beng was still a little worried. After all, if this matter failed, the final outcome would probably be an unimaginable disaster.

"The Wang Quan family..."

"Don't worry, Wang Quan Wumu is still handling the affairs of the Wuhun Empire and has no right to interfere in your affairs here. Remember, you only have one chance. If you fail, you will really fail completely."

Xue Beng clenched his fists, stared with his eyes as bright as copper bells and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
