Thus, during this expedition, Mr. Shan Hai found the legendary armory, and Mr. Dan He found rare herbs.
As for Manager Qiao, who originally ca to find good things for Wu Nuan, when he saw the Spider-tailed Horned Viper, he was already secretly smiling. This mutated species is perfect for training.
Although his Gu insects are gone, Wu Nuan’s sticky rice dumpling is still around. The dumpling likes to eat strange things; maybe this snake will suit its taste.
In an instant, the three old n had all their wishes fulfilled, leaving Shan Ci, the Fat County Magistrate, and Yuwen Luanfei as the re onlookers.
However, to the onlookers, watching the excitent from a thousand years ago is already a benefit. Thus, everyone was satisfied and very happy.
...
While Bai Junjun and the others were fervently dismantling the Wind Tower, the Imperial Capital gradually shifted from chaos to order.
At this mont, in the Imperial Court of the capital, a group of officials kneeled in the Golden Throne Hall, pleading for the person seated to ascend the throne.
That person was none other than the elusive, yet legendary current Fifth Prince, Prince Xuanhe Yuwen Ji.
Yuwen Ji was not wearing a Dragon Robe, but a dark robe adorned with a four-clawed python.
Back then, the Second Prince suddenly attacked the Northern Lands, and the Eldest Prince took advantage of it. Yuwen Luanfei’s troops naturally had to defend the place for him, and the battle raged fiercely; however, Yuwen Luanfei didn’t have enough forces to secure it, so Yuwen Song soon stord into the Imperial Palace.
Unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince finally couldn’t stand by any longer and made a move. He directly struck at Yuwen Song’s base, mimicking Yuwen Song’s tactic of striking at the heart. He attacked from the Northern Lands and seized the Western Region, dealing Yuwen Song a crippling blow.
Soon, Yuwen Song was utterly defeated.
Now the situation on the Imperial Court keeps changing, with the forr tripartite standing among the Three Kings swiftly reduced to just the Ninth Prince.
With the Ninth Prince and the Fifth Prince clashing, anyone could foresee the outco.
Just when everyone thought Yuwen Ji would don the Yellow Robe and ascend the throne, he did not.
"The world doesn’t lack an Emperor; it lacks peace. For years I’ve refrained from getting involved in any warfare just to spare the civilians the suffering of war. Who knew my benevolence led the people into deeper misery. Now the world is in chaos, and the Royal Family is at each other’s throats—this is unbearable for to watch, which is why I acted. But I will not take this throne; now only Lao Jiu is left, so let him have it!"
Yuwen Ji’s words caused an uproar, instantly breaking down the rumors that Yuwen Ji was the mastermind behind the chaos, raising the support for him among the people to unprecedented levels.
Especially during these recent days, Yuwen Ji restored order to the chaotic Imperial Capital with thunderous thods, and even other regions erged from chaos into peace.
The officials and civilians witnessed Yuwen Ji’s skills and capabilities, unanimously expressing that he is the most suitable person to be king, pleading for him to dethrone the Ninth Prince and ascend the throne.
To this, Yuwen Ji rely smiled and never responded.
Today marked the third ti the officials knelt down to request Yuwen Ji to ascend the throne.
"You all keep urging to ascend. If I were to truly ascend, then where would Juner stand? He is my elder brother’s son; he is the true heir!"
The crowd fell silent.
"You needn’t say more, only Juner can sit on this throne."
"But now the kingdom is in turmoil, and everything needs rejuvenation. The Ninth Prince is still young and may not be able to command the realm."
"If everyone is worried, then I could act as Regent King to assist Juner until he can stand on his own, and then I will retire. What do you all think?"
