C412 Within the Imperial City
C412 Within the Imperial City
"Thank you, Mr Yu. I won't say anything more. I will try my best to let our alliance obtain the final treasure. I will tell you the form of the Imperial City now. Let's sit down and talk."
After the four of them sat down at the table, Bai Lang spoke.
"First of all, there are a few major powers in the Imperial City. These are all those who are fighting for the treasure of Emperor Ansel.
These powers are basically divided into three categories. One is the imperial family of Carol Kingdom, the other is the powerful forces from various places in the continent, and the other is the competitors sent by scattered countries and guilds."
"Among these three forces, the weakest are the contenders sent by those scattered countries and guilds.
They don't have enough strength. Even though they are all gathered together and will be the strongest of the three factions, it is impossible for them to gather together. If they can't gather their power as a whole, then they're basically nothing to be afraid of. "
" The second type is those powerful factions whose names are known throughout the entire continent. In order to obtain the treasure, these factions have sent many experts to the Imperial City. It can be said that they are a very competitive faction. "
He took a sip of tea and continued, "The third type is the faction that we belong to, the Imperial Family's faction.
Although the Imperial Family isn't as powerful as the other forces that shake the continent, we, the Imperial Family of Carol Kingdom, have the absolute advantage in terms of geographical location, which makes many forces willing to join forces with us and form an alliance.
Even some of the powerful forces have joined forces with us to fight for Emperor Ansel's treasure. There is the Wind and Cloud Guild that you have seen before. It is a huge power on the continent and is on good terms with our royal family, so it can be considered an ally of ours."
He changed the topic and said, "However, the king did not interfere in the fight for Emperor Ansel's treasure."
Yu Yue was a little surprised. "He did not intervene? Then..."
Such a huge opportunity, if the king of a country did not intervene, it would not make sense no matter what.
Bai Lang nodded and said, "The king did not intervene, but it does not mean that the royal family would not intervene.
The king gave an order for his children, which were the princes and princesses, to participate in this competition. He also allowed his subordinates to freely participate in the camps of the princes and princesses.
Although the king did not explicitly state it, everyone understood the king's intentions. He was choosing the successor of the king!
As long as he obtains the treasure of Emperor Ansel's remains, regardless of whether it is male or female, I believe that the king will not hesitate to make the winner the king. "
"So, this isn't just a battle for the remains, it's also a battle for the throne! Because of this, the royal family isn't only formed into one faction, it's scattered into many factions. "
Yu Yue understood what Bai Lang meant. In other words, the Imperial Family of Carol Kingdom that participated in this battle for the inheritance was divided into several factions that were incompatible with each other.
From Ellie's words just now, it could be seen that the Second Prince had a deep grudge with them.
From this, it could be inferred that the group that the Great General was standing on was not the Second Prince's group, but the group that had a competitive relationship with the Second Prince.
As expected, Bai Lang said, "Among them, two of them are the most powerful. One of them is the First Prince's team. This is also my father's team, which is also the team of the Great General of Carol Kingdom. The First Prince's alliance consisted of the major guilds led by the Wind and Cloud Guild.
The other was the power of the Second Prince. This was the group of the Prime Minister of Carol Kingdom. The Prime Minister had a very high position in the Imperial Court and had a lot of connections. He led a large group of subordinates to join the Second Prince's team, and in the end, they were evenly matched with the First Prince's forces. As for the leader of the Second Prince's alliance... He is also our old friend - Bajue Guild!"
Bajue Guild!
Yu Yue felt that this guild was really haunting him.
Initially, he thought that the Bajue Guild's influence in the Qiluo City hadn't moved, and that they wouldn't participate in the competition for the inheritance. However, he didn't expect them to join him, and even join his enemy force.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. Today, he met a Heaven's Chosen One who called himself the Bajue Guild's Great Elder on the street.
It seemed that although their influence in Qiluo City hadn't moved, they had still sent many powerful figures over, hoping to get a share of the loot in this competition.
Of course, with Yu Yue around, the Heaven's Chosen One wouldn't be able to exert much of his strength.
Yu Yue nodded his head. I understand. So, the Second Prince is our biggest opponent, and also the existence that treats us as a thorn in our side. Is that right? "
Bai Lang didn't say anything, but Ellie gritted her teeth and spoke first.
"That's right! I really don't know why the Prime Minister wanted to join the Second Prince's force. The Second Prince is just a useless fool. He usually does all kinds of evil things and is a complete jerk. He is completely incomparable to the First Prince! The Prime Minister stood strangely on the Second Prince's side in this battle of ruins. Moreover, he had even recruited the Bajue Guild, which was full of evil deeds, as an alliance. It really smells the same!"
Yu Yue roughly understood the current situation. The group he was standing on was the First Prince's side, and his biggest enemy was the Second Prince's force.
As for the other major powers on the continent, although they were powerful, they didn't regard the First Prince as their main enemy. It was probably due to the concern of the competition.
From the looks of it, the person who had tried to assassinate the First Prince was most likely someone sent by the Second Prince. An assassin who wanted to reduce the First Prince's alliance and the strength of the Great General.
"But there's something I don't understand. What role did the Third Princess play in this contest? Why did she invite so many powerful people to the tea gathering? Does she also want to participate in the competition for the ruins? "
Bai Lang shook his head and said, "Although the Third Princess is a talented girl who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not good in martial arts and has no ambition. I think she does not intend to participate in the competition or fight for the throne. As for why she invited so many powerful people, I'm not too sure."
Yu Yue had a rough understanding of the current situation in the Imperial City. It was indeed a chaotic and complicated situation.
However, just listening to what Bai Lang had said, it was still impossible for him to have a deep understanding of the situation. He still had to go to the tea gathering to truly experience the current situation.
On this day, Yu Yue tidied up his clothes and went to sleep early.
The night passed.
It was early in the morning, and the sun had just risen. The smell in the air was fresh and fragrant.
Bai Lang and the others stood at the entrance of the General's Estate, ready to go.
The Great General would not personally go to this tea gathering. Instead, it would be the eldest son of the Great General, Bai Lang, who would take his place.
The four people who were about to embark on their journey each had their own thoughts.
Shangguan Zhitao... Shangguan Xianhua.
I hope to meet you guys at the tea gathering... Give me a real answer.
