111: Recruiting subordinates
Regarding the charging Imperial Guards.
Sheng Changge was not worried; he had already learned the information about the twenty Black Armor Guard Team through the System panel.
Soldiers: Black Armor Guard Team
Strength: All at Grade A Five
Grade A is a unit used by Sheng Country to define strength.
Grade A One is equal to the strength of an ordinary soldier,
Sheng Changge could completely view these twenty Black Armor Guard Team as one hundred men!
The Imperial Guards before him were the most standard Grade A One unit.
There was no suspense whatsoever.
The moment the swords clashed.
Within the Imperial Guards, screams rose in waves!
Sheng Changge was even amazed to see that as the blade light in the hand of a Black Armor Guard swept past, the heads of two Imperial Guards fell off!
The maidservant and Butler behind them were terrified by the scene before their eyes.
The Purple-Robed Eunuch's face turned even paler.
When fifteen Black Armor Guards simultaneously charged into the remaining Imperial Guards.
The true one-sided slaughter also began!
"Clang!" Blades clashed.
The Captain of the Imperial Guards retreated with trembling hands, looking at the man before him in disbelief: "I have the strength of Grade A Two, yet I am completely at a disadvantage!"
"How could Sheng Changge cultivate such terrifying power?!"
Under his murmured words, another subordinate fell beside him.
They were done for, they were done for!
They had originally thought this was a soft persimmon, coming here to earn some merit, but never expected it would cost them their lives!
In just ten minutes.
All the Imperial Guards, including that young Eunuch, fell in a pool of blood.
In front of the courtyard, only two people remained.
The Purple-Robed Eunuch, and the Little Captain of the Imperial Guards.
"Take them away." Sheng Changge took a deep breath.
The reason he didn't kill them was to interrogate some information from their mouths.
Falsifying an Imperial Decree and attempting to poison him, this Prince, was definitely not something they would dare to do!
...
After the Black Armor Guard Team escorted the two away, Sheng Changge finally had time to continue understanding the System that saved him from despair.
"It can bestow brilliant strategies, and can conjure those Black Armor Guard Team out of thin air."
"Are you an Immortal? System?"
Sheng Changge cautiously asked.
In response to the Host's question, Ye Tian pulled out a book and threw it out.
When a book appeared in his hand, Sheng Changge focused his attention.
"Regarding the System, A Simple Explanation"
Holding the book in his hand, he indeed opened it and read and understood it word by word, sentence by sentence.
The setting sun in the sky set in the West.
On the bricks and tiles of the courtyard, a beautiful sunset glow was cast.
But within the courtyard.
Those cold corpses, however, were left uncleared.
When Sheng Changge closed the book, his eyes were filled with a long, inexpressible astonishment.
He dared not imagine that in this World, there was such a divine object, and he had obtained it!
"Ding ~ Host read for half an hour, completed one of the daily tasks, obtained one brilliant strategy."
The System's notification sound made Sheng Changge focus his attention.
He deeply understood the function of the brilliant strategy.
If it weren't for the System's brilliant strategy half an hour ago, how would he have known that those guys dared to falsify an Imperial Decree!
"System, how are brilliant strategies obtained?"
"The Host only needs to complete daily tasks."
As Ye Tian spoke, he opened a panel in front of Sheng Changge.
Read for half an hour (Completed)
Memorize ten poems (0 / 10)
500 push-ups (0 / 500)
300 pull-ups (0 / 300)
...
"So that's how it is..."
"Prince, we have obtained the information." A Black Armor Guard came to Sheng Changge's side.
"What did they say?" Turning to look, the loneliness in Sheng Changge's eyes flashed and disappeared.
In this vast courtyard, only the twenty Black Armor Guard Team bestowed by the System were reliable.
As a Prince, how ironic this was.
"Their testimonies are consistent, it was the Third Prince who instructed them."
"The Third Prince wants to eliminate competitive Princes, he is plotting for the position of Crown Prince."
The Black Armor Guard reported expressionlessly.
"Competitive Princes?" Sheng Changge looked at himself and said mockingly: "I am already down to this state, does Third Prince Brother think I am competitive?"
"Not so." The Black Armor Guard continued: "The Third Prince wants to frame the First Prince for falsifying an Imperial Decree and killing you, the Fifth Prince."
"Prince is just a pawn used by the Third Prince to chip away at the First Prince."
Hearing the blunt words of the man beside him, Sheng Changge smiled and shook his head: "It's ridiculous, even if I lost everything, came to this small border Town, and made my stance clear, they still won't let me go."
"They even treat me as an ant that can be crushed at will! A pawn!"
Speaking of this, Sheng Changge's gaze suddenly turned cold.
"Being in the Royal Family, as a Prince, even if I don't contend for the throne, I will inevitably be drawn into it."
"Since that's the case, this Prince will contend for this throne! I will become a surprise in the eyes of all my Imperial Brothers."
Muttering to himself, Sheng Changge thought of the current situation and opened the brilliant strategy he had just obtained.
"Now that the Host is not dead, it will definitely attract the Third Prince's attention. To avoid being assassinated by the other party, please recruit soldiers and horses immediately to strengthen yourself. The City Lord of Qiushan City seems to be a good choice at the moment."
"The City Lord of Qiushan City?" In his memory, his relationship with this City Lord wasn't particularly close.
But immediately after.
When the subsequent plan related to this brilliant strategy appeared in Sheng Changge's mind, his eyes slightly lit up.
"Let's go, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."
Sheng Changge called out to the two Black Armor Guards beside him, telling the others to stay and guard the two people who had falsified the Imperial Decree.
Those two people.
Were the Third Prince's fatal handle!
They went all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
When City Lord Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing came out to greet them, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
It was rare for the Fifth Prince to take the initiative to come and find him.
"Fifth Prince, I apologize for not coming out to meet you, I apologize for not coming out to meet you."
Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing welcomed Sheng Changge and brought him into the City Lord's Mansion.
Inside the main hall, Sheng Changge and Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing sat facing each other.
"After many days, Prince still has such a remarkable demeanor. It makes me seem much older, hahaha."
Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing laughed heartily, looking at his sturdy, bear-like physique. He was clearly a straightforward person.
"City Lord Qiu, you overpraise me." Sheng Changge waved his hand: "Actually, I came today to ask for something."
"Prince, please speak freely!" Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing said roughly: "As long as I can do it, I will not refuse!"
"I want City Lord Qiu to become my subordinate." The straightforward words came out, and Sheng Changge looked into Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing's eyes.
The other party's gaze was clearly startled.
Then a hint of struggle and awkwardness appeared on his face.
"Fifth Prince... I have always been a person of the imperial court. You are a Prince, so of course I am your subordinate."
Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing said, laughing awkwardly.
"You know my true meaning." Sheng Changge's words made the awkwardly laughing Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing stop.
Seeing this, Sheng Changge continued: "Father Emperor is seriously ill, and my Imperial Brothers are all openly and secretly fighting for the throne."
"You should also understand that even if I do nothing, I will inevitably be drawn into it."
"Therefore, I don't plan to feign ignorance anymore. I need that throne, not for power, but just to live in peace!"
Sheng Changge's words made Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing completely silent.
As the City Lord, he naturally understood that the Fifth Prince before him was forcing him to choose a side.
It was just that, if he had to choose, supporting any other Prince would be far better than supporting Sheng Changge, who seemed to have nothing!
As if he could see through Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing's thoughts, Sheng Changge took a sip of tea: "Your wife was raped and killed by the Seventh Prince, Sheng Gu Ke, right?"
"Bang!" This hatred buried deep within his heart was suddenly exposed by Sheng Changge. Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing stood up, unable to remain calm.
However, thinking of the identity of the Prince before him, he couldn't help but suppress himself.
"Prince, if there is nothing else, please return."
Uttering this sentence heavily, Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing was clearly suppressing his anger.
"I can help you get revenge." Sheng Changge spoke the information from the brilliant strategy, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, System, and you say you are not a God!
"You... you can help me get revenge?" Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing turned sharply, as if he had seen some hope.
How long had it been, how long had he waited for someone to say this sentence!
Back then, his wife was treated like that by the Seventh Prince and died. He, a man of integrity, could do nothing!
Because that person was a Prince, a Prince favored by the Emperor, he had no way at all!
Therefore.
He could only bury this hatred deep in his heart. For so many years, he had never seen a glimmer of hope for revenge, never!
"Yes." Sheng Changge nodded: "I am also a Prince. The enemy you cannot deal with, I can."
