123: Guard, Bull

Looking at the Seventh Prince beside him, their relationship should be good.

"You can call me that." Sheng Changge looked at the two people.

He understood that these two were the least scheming among the seven Princes.

Looking at the other Princes, even the Second Prince who had just left... they all gave him an indescribable sense of threat.

"Hahaha, he really thinks highly of himself." The Fourth Prince sneered, patting Sheng Changge's shoulder: "My Imperial Brother, I look forward to seeing you guarding a prefecture."

It was also during this conversation.

The Fourth Prince took the Seventh Prince and walked out of Fengtian Hall.

"These two guys are still like Children." The First Prince said beside Sheng Changge, then smiled: "Fifth Imperial Brother, don't mind them, they are still very kind at heart."

With just a few simple words, the image of a kind elder brother was established in front of Sheng Changge.

"If you have time, Imperial Brother, you can come to my residence for a chat. It's been years since we last met, and your Imperial Brother has a lot he wants to say."

After leaving this sentence, the First Prince also walked towards the outside of Fengtian Hall.

And as he walked, dozens of civil officials from the court also left with him.

As for the Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, he had no intention of speaking to Sheng Changge at all and left directly.

"Every Prince is not simple." He muttered to himself, yet Sheng Changge seemed a little relaxed.

Although these competitors were not simple.

But with the System, he was completely fearless!

"Ding~ Noticing the Host's recent behavior of grinding a single daily mission, the daily missions 'Reading' and 'Reciting Poetry' are specifically canceled for one month."

Ye Tian's voice directly made Sheng Changge's expression freeze.

...

...

Third Prince's residence.

When Third Prince Sheng Tianlong returned, only a few woman greeted him.

After all his attendants, including Eunuch Zhao, were killed yesterday, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong now had no one to command except for some maids.

Annoyed, he shook off these woman and came to his secret room.

In the center of this room, a chessboard was placed.

And the pieces on the chessboard were only black.

The board full of black pieces each had their own names.

If you looked closely, you could see some numbers on each black piece.

These numbers respectively represented the seven Princes in the court, including Third Prince Sheng Tianlong himself!

Standing in front of the chessboard.

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's brows furrowed tightly.

This chessboard was brought by him when he transmigrated. It contained the direction of the World's Luck and was a grand game that moved on its own according to the general trend of the World.

It was also Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's biggest trump card!

After several days, he looked at the chessboard again.

On the entire chessboard, the one with the largest proportion of power was still him.

The Second one, the First Prince, was still quite far from him.

This third force, however, had directly changed from the Sixth Prince to the Fifth Prince!

Such a major change was something Third Prince Sheng Tianlong had not expected at all.

One must know that when he looked at the chessboard a few days ago, he had already seen that the Fifth Prince would definitely be the first to be squeezed off the board!

It was also because of this point that he would unscrupulously forge the imperial decree.

But now, it was as if some God had given Sheng Changge a push from behind.

Like the hand of a God.

Not only did it pull him out of a dead end, but it also made him leap to become an opponent that could not be ignored among the many Princes!

He carefully observed for a while.

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's eyes suddenly lit up.

In this chaotic chessboard, he saw two new pieces!

Two pieces that could give him great help!

One of them was in the Capital.

"Prime Minister Yu...?"

"Knock knock~" A maid knocked on the door: "Prince, the Second Prince has arrived."

...

...

Capital.

In the Fifth Prince's residence.

Sheng Changge looked at the military command token in his hand, feeling a bit excited.

The military command token for 200,000 troops meant he could recruit 200,000 soldiers!

Such authority was only held by a few Old Generals in the court.

"System, I still have two mission completion gift packages, right?"

"Yes, Host, would you like to open them?"

"Open them." Sheng Changge was a little expectant.

Compared to the things obtained from daily check-ins, the System gift packages were clearly better.

The only newcomer gift package he had received so far, besides having a brilliant plan in a brocade pouch, also contained the Black Armor Guard Team, which he had been using heavily until now.

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Guardian character — Man Niu."

Character: Man Niu

Strength: Twenty Grade A

After the System's voice fell, Sheng Changge immediately noticed a huge figure beside him.

"Twenty Grade A strength?!" Looking at the guy in front of him, Sheng Changge was a little shocked.

One must know that the strongest General in Sheng Country, Li Yuanyuan, was only at Fifteen Grade A strength!

How could Sheng Changge know?

After Ye Tian had met Eunuch Zhao and Eunuch Wei, he had pretty much figured out the basics of Martial Arts in this World.

Deducing a person at the Peak of Martial Arts was truly effortless.

He also came to a conclusion.

The strongest existence allowed in this World was Twenty Grade A.

"Host, you still have one System gift package. Would you like to open it?" Ye Tian asked.

"Next time." Sheng Changge indicated that he needed to slow down.

The night passed uneventfully.

...

Early this morning.

A woman came to Sheng Changge's residence.

"Prince, Prime Minister Yu's granddaughter has come to visit."

An attendant interrupted Sheng Changge, who was doing push-ups.

"Prime Minister Yu's granddaughter?" Sheng Changge wiped his sweat, having no impression at all.

"Host, didn't you accept a mission to save a damsel in distress when you came to the Capital?"

Ye Tian's voice brought back memories for Sheng Changge.

"It's her?"

"Reminder to Host, Prime Minister Yu is a great help."

"A great help." Sheng Changge was slightly serious. If the System said so, there must be some truth to it.

He glanced at the attendant: "Take me to see her, and tell me about Prime Minister Yu by the way."

...

Reception hall.

On the guest seat was a woman with bare feet like white jade.

When Sheng Changge arrived here, the woman's beautiful eyes clearly lit up.

"It really is you!" Surprise appeared on Yu Jie's face.

"This Prince also didn't expect that the one I saved before would be Miss Yu." Sheng Changge said with a light smile.

"I came to thank you." Yu Jie said, taking out a piece of gold from her person: "This is one catty of gold."

Looking at the woman's actions in front of him, Sheng Changge thought of the news he had heard when he came, and slightly teased: "Miss Yu ran away from home again? The gold must have been stolen from home too, right?"

Yu Jie paused immediately and looked at Sheng Changge.

This conversation... wasn't it a dead end?

"Please don't tell my family, I... it wasn't easy for me to come out this time."

"I've already notified your family." Sheng Changge's words made a hint of annoyance appear on Yu Jie's pretty face.

"I'm not giving you the gold anymore."

"Hahaha." Sheng Changge smiled: "Let's go. I've long heard of your Grandpa's great reputation. I happen to be going to visit him."

"What's so good about visiting that old guy?" Yu Jie pouted: "The Third Prince went, the Second Prince went, and now you're going too."

These words made Sheng Changge pause: "Third Prince Sheng Tianlong also went to visit Prime Minister Yu?"

"Mm..." Yu Jie nodded.

"Then I must go and see..."
