Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 132 Fang Heng's Target—The Eastern Palace Treasury

Liu Qi looked at Mr. Wu with a rather complicated expression.

He naturally harbored resentment towards Mr. Wu.

If it weren't for Mr. Wu's scheming, how could he have been forced to the brink of death?

But at the same time, he also felt a faint sense of gratitude.

Without Mr. Wu's arrangement, I would not have been able to meet a wise ruler.

"Mr. Wu, you've really caused me a lot of trouble!" Liu Qi sighed, his voice low.

Mr. Wu's expression shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Liu Qi, you should understand."

“You have become the center of the vortex, and no prince can tolerate you.”

"Your fate is simply a matter of how you die."

"certainly……"

"Your Highness, I miscalculated!"

"I never expected that His Highness the Ninth Prince would actually spare your life."

Mr. Wu's gaze toward Fang Heng was a mixture of slight incomprehension and deep shock.

He was moved and sighed.

"Your Highness, what a skillful method!"

"They actually managed to deceive everyone right under the Prime Minister's nose!"

Mr. Wu's eyes narrowed, and he began to have a new assessment of Fang Heng.

He had underestimated the Ninth Prince.

Mr. Wu thought Fang Heng was deceiving everyone, never imagining that Liu Qi had actually died once and then been rescued from the underworld by Fang Heng.

Fang Heng and Liu Qi did not point it out.

"Mr. Wu, what else do you have to explain now?" Fang Heng took a sip of spiritual tea and sneered repeatedly.

Although Liu Qi was still alive, this was beyond Mr. Wu's expectations.

However, he didn't panic and quickly regained his composure.

"Your Highness summoned me today to inquire about the Crown Prince's plans, didn't you?"

clap clap-

Fang Heng clapped his hands again, the sound crisp and pleasant.

Of course, this time it wasn't to deliver a message to Liu Qi, but rather to express admiration for Mr. Wu's intelligence.

It's so refreshing to talk to smart people!
"Since you've already guessed it, Mr. Wu, then I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Liu Qi, serve Mr. Wu tea."

Because of Liu Qi's sensitive status, there were no servants or maids in the Xishan Villa.

We can only trouble Liu Qi to personally serve tea to Mr. Wu.

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Mr. Wu put down the white porcelain teacup with blue and white decorations and slowly spoke to Fang Heng.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince intends to purge the court of corrupt officials!"

Mr. Wu's first words startled Liu Qi so much that she turned pale and almost dropped the teapot in her hand.

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow, taken aback, and marveled at the Crown Prince's audacity.

Qingjun side!
How brave he is!
That's a really big game!

"Please tell me in detail, Mr. Wu," Fang Heng then asked.

He knew that meeting Mr. Wu today was the right move.

Clearly, the Crown Prince was unaware that Mr. Wu was a traitor.

On the contrary, he trusted Mr. Wu very much, and even told Mr. Wu about things like purging the court of corrupt officials.

Mr. Wu has already betrayed the Crown Prince once, so naturally he wouldn't care about betraying him again.

"The Crown Prince has decided to purge the court of corrupt officials on the second day of the second month."

"The reason this day was chosen is because of the God-Slaying Array..."

Before Mr. Wu could finish speaking, Fang Heng suddenly interrupted.

"I already know that the King of the Underworld has been born."

"No wonder he chose the second day of the second lunar month; the Crown Prince is trying to take advantage of the chaos!"

Mr. Wu gave Fang Heng a deep look, his eyes sparkling with a strange light.

This Ninth Prince is hiding his true identity very well!
They even knew about the birth of the Underworld Emperor.

Mr. Wu felt a pang of regret. Sending Liu Qi to Fang Heng's royal estate had attracted Fang Heng, that hungry wolf.

I thought he was an insignificant prince, but now it seems the second prince is even more troublesome.

Mr. Wu's heart sank.

As for Liu Qi, who was standing to the side, she looked completely bewildered.

Emperor Yin?
Who is this guy?

To dare call oneself the Emperor of the Underworld, what a boastful tone.

Also, what is his connection to the God-Slaying Formation?
Liu Qi was bewildered and felt like a fool as she listened to the conversation between Fang Heng and Mr. Wu.

"According to the Crown Prince's plan, on the second day of the second month, the Underworld Emperor will be born, and His Majesty and the people of the Ten Great Courts will be attracted to the Underworld Emperor."

"At that time, the Crown Prince will come out of the Imperial Clan Court and join forces with Chu Yun Shen, the divine general of the Crimson Flame Army, to attack the palace from within and without."

"The Crown Prince has four goals, the first being the Imperial Seal of the State in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Whoever controls the Imperial Seal can manipulate the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Even if we can't completely take away His Majesty's national destiny, we can still shake it a little and make His Majesty suffer at the hands of the Yin Emperor."

"The second and third targets are the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Imperial Treasury."

"However, the latter two are detachments of the Crimson Flame Army, only responsible for disrupting everyone's vision and preventing reinforcements from reaching the Hall of Mental Cultivation in time."

"As for the last target, it is the various royal palaces."

"The guards and guest ministers of the Crown Prince's mansions are in charge of the various princely residences."

"According to the plan, Your Highness, your residence will also be attacked."

"The person in charge is a guest elder of the eighth realm."

"In addition, there are dozens of other people, whose strength ranges from the fifth to the seventh realm."

Mr. Wu, you've really succeeded at being a double agent! Fang Heng thought to himself.

The Crown Prince's plan to purge the court of corrupt officials was entrusted entirely to Mr. Wu.

Fang Heng sighed inwardly, thinking that the Crown Prince's ability to judge people was truly beyond description.

Mr. Wu's methods are superb; he is more than qualified to serve as the chief guest advisor.

From this perspective, the Crown Prince's trust in Mr. Wu and his entrustment of the plan to purge the court of corrupt officials to Mr. Wu shows that he did not misjudge Mr. Wu's abilities.

but……

The prince never expected that Mr. Wu was a complete traitor.

The Crown Prince was clearly terribly wrong about Mr. Wu's loyalty.

"With only one divine general, the crown prince dared to purge the court of corrupt officials."

"Even if the underworld emperor were to appear, it would tie down a great deal of the court's power and cause chaos in the capital."

"But... isn't the Crown Prince being far too audacious!"

Fang Heng frowned, feeling somewhat worried and puzzled.

Mr. Wu took a sip of the spiritual tea, stroked his long beard, and said calmly.

"Although the Crown Prince did not say it explicitly, in my opinion, he should still have a backup plan."

"What back-up plan?"

"Most likely from the Divine Firmament Sect!"

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow when he heard the words "Shenxiao Sect".

The Shenxiao Sect, one of the Ten Great Daoist Courts, is undoubtedly powerful.

However, after Xiao Juefeng was murdered by a scheme, the Crown Prince and the Shenxiao Sect had already broken off all relations.

With the birth of the Yin Emperor imminent, people from other sects of the Ten Great Daoist Courts were all brought to Yujing.

The Shenxiao Sect, however, has yet to have a master to take charge.

Isn't it because the Crown Prince betrayed Xiao Juefeng back then?

Seeing Fang Heng's confusion, Mr. Wu nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Your Highness, don't forget the Crown Princess!"

"The Crown Princess also comes from the Shenxiao Sect, and her status in the Shenxiao Sect is even higher than that of Xiao Juefeng."

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow. If Mr. Wu hadn't pointed it out, he would have really overlooked this extremely low-key Crown Princess.

The marriage between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was a political alliance.

Rumors suggest that there was no affection between the two.

There are even many rumors circulating that claim the Crown Princess is still a virgin.

Although these are all rumors and have never been confirmed.

However, Fang Heng was very clear about one thing: the relationship between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince was indeed very cold.

In fact, the Crown Princess rarely interfered in matters concerning the Eastern Palace, acting almost like she was invisible.

"What is the background of the Crown Princess?"

"Her grandfather was the Supreme Elder of the Shenxiao Sect."

"The current sect leader of the Shenxiao Sect is his grandfather's last disciple."

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng suddenly realized what was going on.

The Crown Princess has such a background.

If the Crown Princess is willing to act as a go-between, the Crown Prince and the Shenxiao Sect do indeed have a chance to reconcile.

Even Xiao Wujiu, an elder of the Enforcement Hall, couldn't stop it.

After understanding the Crown Prince's overall plan, Fang Heng also began to make his own calculations.

On the day he purged the court of corrupt officials, Fang Heng seized the opportunity to enter the palace and intercept a detachment of the Chiyan Army, a chance to gain merit for nothing.

As for the candidate, he already had a plan in mind.

besides……

Fang Heng had been eyeing the Eastern Palace's treasury for a long time.

On the second day of the second month, we purge the court of corrupt officials.

The entire Eastern Palace forces came out.

This is the perfect time to raid their base!
"Mr. Wu, how many guards were there in the Eastern Palace's treasury on the day the court was purged of corrupt officials?"

"Give me the list of guards on duty."

Mr. Wu raised an eyebrow and instantly understood Fang Heng's intention.

This Ninth Prince has an extraordinary appetite!

They actually set their sights on the Eastern Palace's treasury.

but……

Just what I want!
"I want 70%!" Mr. Wu said in a deep voice.

Fang Heng rolled his eyes and gave a disdainful snort.

"Mr. Wu, you're asking for an exorbitant amount!"

"You want 70% just by talking? Don't you think that's going too far?"

"What does Your Highness think?"

“Thirty percent, that’s the most!” Fang Heng held up three fingers.

"Thirty percent?" Mr. Wu nodded slightly and said calmly, "I'll give Your Highness some face."

"Thirty percent!"

"However, I am determined to obtain the Rejuvenating Pearl in the Eastern Palace Treasury."

"Can!"

Fang Heng nodded.

The Rejuvenating Pearl is a sacred healing object, capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bones.

There were even cultivators who tried to bring the dead back to life using the Rejuvenation Pearl.

Mr. Wu specifically mentioned wanting to retrieve the Yang Pearl. Could it be that someone close to him has been seriously injured?

Fang Heng muttered to himself.
