Chapter 985: Beast Spirit Ka! A very soft but crisp sound came out in the silent night, frightening away a hare in the grass. Then there was the sound of boots stepping on the grass, and a moment later, a chubby figure slowly appeared in the moonlight, holding a round thing in his hand. ¡°Click¡± He threw the thing aside. That¡¯s a human head. The fat man looked left and right, took a deep breath and stretched his body: "This kind of thing is really boringit's not interesting at all." The people following him looked at each other in confusion, and their expressions changed a little. Less than three hours have passed since nightfall, and the sky has not yet risen. The enemy scouts lurking around the camp have been cleared away. The fat man in front of them seemed to have a special kind of perception. No matter how well the enemy scouts hid it, they could not hide it from his eyes. "How many?" he asked. A knight wearing brocade clothes bowed and replied: "One hundred and sixty-six." The fat man nodded with satisfaction: "These people can't go back. The enemy's scout leader will definitely send someone to find out. Let's go. I have already seen the most suitable place to cross the river. Don't go back to the camp during the day. Just sleep in the grass nearby for a while. Tomorrow night, some people will come to investigate, so just kill them all. " In just one night, this fat man named Jiusecai conquered these unruly men. The people in the Knight Riding School are all carefully selected elites, and it is not easy to convince them of a new leader. But for the drunkard, this doesn't seem to be that difficult. "Deputy Commander, do you want to send someone back to inform you?" the hundred households reminded. The drunken man was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that his current status was no longer the same. In the past, when Wu Yiyi sent him out to do things, he basically gave him full authority to do things. Now that he has entered the Xiaoqi Riding School, he does not have as much freedom as before. But that¡¯s okay, it¡¯s most refreshing to do one thing in return for another thing. "Okay" Jiusecai nodded: "You arrange for someone to go back and report to Lord Dutong." Baihu nodded, turned around and ordered people to do things. "Sir, what do you do in the past?" The Baihu of the Xiaoqi Riding School couldn't help but ask. After asking, he felt a little regretful. It seemed a bit impolite to ask directly. However, Jiulesecai didn't seem angry, his eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was recalling something. "There's no rush anyway, sit down and rest for a while." Jiusecai kicked the head away, then found a clean place to sit down: "I almost forgot how I got here. It seems that some things are easy to forget, and some things come back to your mind for a moment even if you are asked about them I will tell you my story, but you will buy me a drink when you go back. " "Okay! They agreed neatly, and then sat down in a circle, their faces full of curiosity. This new deputy capital commander is indeed a bit mysterious. He is so fat but he is so good at light kung fu, and he kills people with clean and neat techniques. It makes people feel more nervous than those from the Ouchi Guards. "Hehe" Jiusecai smiled, picked up a piece of fur grass and held it in his mouth: "Where to start Sometimes even I wonder how I survived."?¡?¡????????????????????? When successive emperors of the Sui Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the old emperor selected the most outstanding person among his sons to inherit the throne. How to determine which of these princes is the most outstanding is a task that is not at all easier than managing this empire. Every prince knows the traditions of the Sui royal family, so everyone knows from birth that they have the opportunity to sit on the dragon throne. Fair Play Some people may say that when the princes were young, they lived one of the few simple days in their lives. Because once they reach the age of tying their hair, they will be crowned kings, and then they will start crazy competition. If you think this way, you are wrong, absolutely wrong. Competition starts from birth. The game after the prince becomes an adult is between the prince and the forces behind the prince. As soon as the prince was born, his mother was already preparing for her son's future. Such a tradition also makes the harem seem peaceful, but in fact it is not peaceful at all. The emperors of the Sui Dynasty all followed the ancestral precepts. From the harem to the queen, they ordered that concubines, eunuchs, and maids were not allowed to participate in the government. But this does not mean that there is no competition between the concubines who gave birth to the prince, but this competition is not obvious in the harem.appears on ?. Everyone wants to prepare a solid foundation for their son, so that when they compete in the future, they will get twice the result with half the effort. There was no custom of establishing a prince in the Sui Dynasty, so the eldest prince would not have any special privileges. And as the emperor's first son, it was even more difficult because he didn't know how many people would compete with him in the future and how many of them he could defeat. Emperor Zhenzong was a romantic man and had seven sons and more than twenty princesses. Of course, this does not include the romantic debts he left behind during his many tours of the world. In fact, he himself did not know how many children Emperor Zhenzong had. ¡°Perhaps there is a widow selling bean curd somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and the child she brings is of Yang family blood. Concubine Qin was originally a very gentle and virtuous woman, but after giving birth to the second prince, she had to learn some shameful methods. Of course, no one in the harem dared to harm other princes under the harsh methods of past emperors, but the concubines who gave birth to princes were like generals who were about to start leading troops, and they had to prepare for war. The second prince is very beautiful, and his big round eyes look so clean and penetrating. Holding her son in her arms, Concubine Qin¡¯s face was full of love. "Master, what you asked your slave to do has been completed. When the second prince was born, a group of people were already prepared in the master's family, ready to be dispatched by the master at any time." "Yes" Concubine Qin nodded: "Your Majesty I won¡¯t ask anything about such a thing, so there¡¯s no need to hide anything. Let¡¯s go back and ask the family to pick out a few that are pleasing to the eye. If they¡¯re smart, I¡¯ll keep them first.¡± ¡°Here,¡± the eunuch who answered bowed his head. , turned around and went out to do errands. "Son." Concubine Qin pinched the chubby little face of the second prince: "Mother will prepare enough things for you so that you can ascend the throne smoothly in the future. Mother is more valuable than her son, and in the future, mother will I am still counting on you. Don¡¯t let me down Mom and everyone in my family will do their best to protect you and teach you Mom knows that you will also have a hard time. , but for the sake of the throne, what¡¯s the point of working harder?¡±¡¡¡In a blink of an eye, the second prince is already fifteen years old, and he is already a talented person. Now he has six competitors, and in the past fifteen years, five more princes have been born. Of course, the second prince never took it to heart. The fourth child's mother was from a very low background and had a bit of barbarian blood. Her mother's family was just a Beijing official who had never had any real power since she was a fifth-rank official. Her life was not that satisfactory, so she had no ability to prepare for the fourth child to seize the throne. The fourth child is already ten years old, but that guy seems to have accepted his fate since he was a child. He always seems very humble in front of other princes and will never make people think that he is a threat. In fact, he is indeed not a threat. His father's side of the family is even more low-key than him. They know that they have no ability to fight for anything, so they simply show a non-fighting attitude from the beginning, which makes people feel reassured and can lead a more practical life. "There is no doubt that if the fourth mother's family shows any unreasonable thoughts, the strength behind the other princes can crush that family into powder in an instant. "Are these new here?" The second prince glanced at the dozen or so children standing in front of him. The oldest was about the same age as him, the youngest was only six or seven years old, and the youngest one looked so small compared to the others. He is so thin that he can be blown away by a gust of wind. He didn't understand how his uncle chose people. What's the use of keeping such a person? "What's your name?" The second prince asked, pointing to the thinnest child. "No name." The child shook his head: "No one has given it to me. I was raised by apes." "Haha" The second prince couldn't help laughing: "Turns out he is still a beast" He After laughing enough, his face suddenly turned cold: "Do you know what it means to work by my side? Maybe someone told you that working with me will have an unlimited future. Maybe he forgot to tell you that you might die before your future becomes unlimited. Come on. Look at them" The second prince turned around and pointed at the dozen guards standing behind him: "These people were selected from three batches of more than one hundred and twenty people. Pick one out of ten. Only a dozen people were sent in total. Why do you think you are the one who can survive?" The child's expression changed, and then he asked: "Those who are not selected will die?" "That's right." The second prince left. He went back to the chair and sat down, crossing his legs: "The rules are simple. Now you just have to choose your opponents. The one who is left standing will stay with me and do things. As long as you can survive"Now, you are living the life of a superior person, I don't care if you are a beast or not. " The child bit his lip, then suddenly turned sideways and stabbed the dagger hidden in his sleeve into the abdomen of the largest child, and twisted his wrist hard. The oldest child immediately screamed in pain, and all the features on his face were twisted. Together. The youngest child smiled coldly and kept twisting his hands until the older child slowly fell down. " He turned around and looked at the others, like a little beast. " Bastard! The second prince slammed the table and cursed angrily: "How did you bunch of losers let him come in with a dagger?" ! If he wants to assassinate me, you will all die! " The second prince's subordinates were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Someone went over, picked up the child, threw it in front of the second prince, and slapped him several times. " How did you bring the dagger in here! " Someone asked angrily. "Spit" The child spat out the blood in his mouth and actually smiled proudly: "Your Highness, you also said that I am a beast. When faced with danger, animals always react faster than humans. When a dog hides its teeth, everyone is willing to pet its head, but when it exposes its teeth, the person who is bitten cannot respond. " "Kill him! " The second prince was startled by the child's words. He vaguely felt that something would go wrong if he kept this child. "Wait a minute" "I don't know when, Concubine Qin appeared behind the second prince. She walked slowly to the second prince's side. , ruffling the second prince¡¯s hair dotingly: ¡°This is the kind of person you need, keep him. " "However, there is a condition. Concubine Qin pointed to the remaining children: "If you can kill them all, I will keep you." "The child struggled to stand up and looked back at the companions who were being sent in. Then he suddenly ran over, his running posture was very strange, really like a wild beast. Under the setting sun, the thin boy was holding a dagger. The dagger Bleeding. "You can stay with the second prince and work from now on. I will give you a name called Beast Qi. The beastly aura of your body is useful. " Concubine Qin turned and left. The child looked back at the body on the ground with an expressionless face.
