Chapter 285 The Third Prince Yinglu
The birth of Yinglu directly became a thorn in the eyes of other princes of Lanbing, including the current prince, Yingmu, who had a good relationship with him, and was also jealous of his own brother.
Originally, relying on the relationship of the eldest son, he became the prince of the Blue Ice Super Empire, thinking that his dream of becoming an emperor in the future would finally come true, but the birth of Yinglu changed everything. More than a decade later, Yinglu, who was only 20 years old, not only reached the early stage of the seventh level of the Heavenly Dao Rank, but was also the son-in-law of the first chamber of commerce of the Blue Ice Super Empire.
In comparison, Yingmu was much colder. He and Yinglu had the same mother, but he had not been favored by the queen mother since he was a child. Almost all of his mother's love was occupied by his younger brother. It was said that the president of the first chamber of commerce of Blue Ice was going to choose Yingmu as his son-in-law, but unexpectedly, after more than a decade, the president openly regretted it and quickly married his daughter to his younger brother, Yinglu. Yingmu was almost angry to death.
Thinking that his throne was in danger, Yingmu also came up with the idea of getting rid of Yinglu, but he never dared to implement it, because his father hated people who did dirty things behind his back. Once he was discovered, the throne could be said to be hopeless forever.
So this time, the third prince Yinglu took the initiative to lead the army to attack the Longren Empire, which had the support of the dragon clan. Not only did he not pray for his brother, but he secretly prayed to the gods and prayed that his brother would die accidentally on the battlefield.
And in arranging the grain transportation, Yingmu also instigated the fourth prince to stir up trouble for the third prince. Of the 8 million grains, only about 500,000 bags were actually filled with grain, and the rest were dry grass and yellow sand, and the bounty transported with them was also replaced with stones.
When the third prince vowed to lead the army to the expedition, the crown prince Yingmu and the fourth prince, Yingsu, looked at each other and laughed. This time, let's see how the third prince will go against the sky.
In order to completely put the blame on the fourth prince Yingsu, Yingmu took the initiative to ask for a batch of reserve military rations and military pay, and followed the main army just in case. When the emperor knew about it, he praised Yingmu and said that he was a good example for a brother, and agreed to his request.
Not daring to delay, Prince Yingmu led the army and hurriedly followed with military rations and military pay. Although the fourth prince was puzzled, he was simple-minded and thought that his eldest brother wanted to see with his own eyes whether the third brother was dead or not. Thinking of this, the fourth prince was relieved and put it behind his mind.
The Blue Ice Super Empire declared war on the Longren Empire, which attracted the close attention of various empires. Various elite spies lurked around the battlefield.
When the two armies were fifty miles apart, they stopped and set up camp with each other. Wang Ren and the third prince, as the supreme commanders, naturally agreed to conduct a preliminary exploration. If the negotiations failed, they would officially go to war. The negotiation location was the Ten-mile Orchid Hall.
Wang Ren brought the dragon elder, Kulyun, and two dragon leaders, while the third prince naturally brought his eldest brother Yingmu, the empire's sea worshiper, and two guards.
"Who are you?" The third prince wondered. According to the intelligence source, there seems to be no such person as Wang Ren. Was he sent to deal with me casually?"
"It's our first meeting. Let me introduce you. This is our great prince of the dragon clan, Kurenci. These two are the dragon guards. As for me, I am the dragon elder, Kulyun."
"Well, since you have introduced yourself, then this prince will briefly introduce us. This is my eldest brother, the prince of the current Ice Blue Super Empire, Yingmu. This is the Ice Blue Super Empire's sea worshiper. These two are my personal guards."
"Since everyone knows each other, let's start the negotiation. However, this prince has to say it in advance. It is impossible to return the territory that has already belonged to this prince. I don't want to dream of conquering it by force. You should know my temper a little bit." Wang Ren smiled.
The dragon elder Kuryun on the side almost couldn't help laughing. How could they negotiate like this? He came up and said directly, no need to talk, there is no territory to discuss, why bother talking, why not just start a war.
This almost pissed Yinglu off. His original best idea was to convince or scare off the representatives of the Longren Empire, but he never thought that the representative of the negotiation this time was actually the Dragon Clan Prince himself, and he was so dead set with one sentence that there was no room for negotiation.
Looking at the frustrated Yinglu, Yingmu's eyes flashed a hint of playfulness, but soon returned to normal. Unfortunately, Wang Ren saw it. It turned out that the two guys didn't get along. It seems that they can make a fuss.
"This prince is very curious, why did the prince of your Ice Blue Super Empire not represent you in this negotiation, but you, the third oldest, represented you instead? Could it be that the future emperor of your Ice Blue Super Empire will also be His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" Wang Ren seemed unintentional, but he obviously said with the intention of making a move.
The smart Yingmu and Yinglu naturally understood that the Dragon Prince was trying to sow discord between them. Yinglu could not care, but Yinglu forgot that Yingmu cared a lot. After all, he was the authentic prince. They applied for the negotiation representative together, but in the end, the father chose Yinglu instead of Yingmu. This was originally very unfair. In addition to the Dragon Prince's unintentional words, Yingmu was calm on the surface and smiled, but in fact, his heart was about to explode.
"Haha, Dragon Prince, you are joking. It's just a small matter. Why bother my eldest brother? I can handle it. There is more than enough," Yinglu also took the opportunity to fight back, meaning that dealing with you is like pinching an ant, and there is no need for too many people.
"How dare you look down on this prince? It seems that you have no intention of negotiating. If that's the case, what else can you say? Just go to war." As if he had been greatly insulted, Wang Ren jumped up, pointed at Yinglu and accused him loudly, and then turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Wang Ren wanted to leave, Yinglu's face was livid, and he had no intention of keeping him. However, "Wait, please be patient, Prince of the Dragon Clan. After all, I am young and have not considered it carefully. Please don't make suggestions, Prince of the Dragon Clan. This time, I will negotiate with you personally," Yingmu waited for Yinglu and signaled him to give up his seat quickly.
Yinglu was very angry about his elder brother's behavior, but it was not good to cut his face in public. After all, his elder brother was the legitimate prince of the Ice Blue Super Empire. Helpless Yinglu had to stand aside. He wanted to see how his good elder brother could convince the arrogant and domineering prince of the Dragon Clan.
Yingmu sat on the negotiation chair, feeling very comfortable. Looking at his frustrated third brother, he felt an indescribable happiness in his heart. "Haha, Prince Long, please forgive me for making fun of you. For this negotiation, I hope you can consider the tens of millions of civilians and not start a war. How about we take a step back from each other?"
"Oh? I don't know what Prince Yingmu means by taking a step back?" Wang Ren asked curiously.
