C2718 The Eighth Prince's Confidence

1"What should we do?"    

    

After coming out of the hall, the princes gathered together, their faces full of worry.    

    

There was no way that they wouldn't be worried. Fourth Prince was about to ascend the throne. It was imaginable that after he ascended the throne, he would never let go of his former competitors. Therefore, they had to think of a way as soon as possible. Otherwise, what awaited them was death.    

    

However, was it that easy to think of a way?    

    

Obviously not.    

    

Currently, Fourth Prince was the strongest in the country, and the people who supported him the most were the ones who supported him to ascend the throne. The city was surrounded by the army of Yuan Feng Country. They were the other princes. It was very difficult for them to escape from the city. It was very likely that they had just escaped. They would be discovered by the army of Yuan Feng Country and killed.    

    

Staying in the city? It was also not safe. Fourth Prince was going to ascend the throne in three days. Once he ascends the throne, he might make a move against them. At that time, he could find an excuse to kill them.    

    

It was not safe to leave the city, nor was it safe to stay in the city. These princes were in a dilemma.    

    

"No, we can't let him ascend the throne so smoothly!" The Eighth Prince said fiercely.    

    

The Eighth Prince and Fourth Prince had never been on good terms, and they had a grudge against each other before this. And just now, he had questioned ___ in front of everyone in the main hall. In comparison, Fourth Prince hated him very much. Needless to say, he knew that once Fourth Prince ascended the throne, the first unlucky person would be... It would definitely be him.    

    

Because of this, he was the one who didn't want Fourth Prince to ascend the throne the most. No matter what, he had to stop Fourth Prince from ascending the throne.    

    

"It's easy to say. Which one of us doesn't want to stop him from ascending the throne? The key was what should be done to stop him. The situation in the hall just now... It's not like you haven't seen the support of so many people. It's impossible for us to stop him now." Another prince said in a depressed tone.    

    

Indeed, they were all people who had thoughts about the throne. Now, they could only watch helplessly as Fourth Prince ascended the throne. It would be strange if they could feel comfortable in their hearts. More importantly, they had lost without knowing why. Originally, they still had a chance. However, it was because of Old Emperor's death that they suddenly lost their chance. Fourth Prince took advantage of the situation and charged forward. As for them, they could only accept defeat.    

    

"That's right. It's already very difficult to stop him now. The officials in the hall had also accepted Fourth Brother's coronation. No matter what we do, no matter how much we oppose it, it's useless. " The Prince said.    

    

"Not necessarily!" The Eighth Prince's eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "It's not like we don't have a chance to stop him."    

    

"What chance?"    

    

The Eighth Prince asked. "What should we do?"    

    

The other princes all looked at the Eighth Prince with hopeful expressions, wanting to know what he was planning.    

    

"What if Fourth Brother suddenly dies just like father?" The Eighth Prince said in a gloomy voice.    

    

"You mean..."    

    

The other princes immediately took a deep breath. They clearly understood the meaning behind the Eighth Prince's words.    

    

That's right. If Fourth Prince suddenly died, he naturally wouldn't be able to ascend the throne. He couldn't possibly let a dead man become the Emperor of the Fengjue Country, but once Fourth Prince died... Then, the throne would be empty once again. All of them would have a chance.    

    

It could be said that this was a very good idea, but there were also some difficulties, and it was also very big.    

    

"Fourth Brother has many guards by his side. After father's incident, he will surely pay more attention to protecting himself. It will be very difficult for us to kill him!"    

    

All the princes had no intention of opposing the Eighth Prince's opinion. Apparently, they all agreed with Fourth Prince's idea. However, it was a question of how they should do it.    

    

Originally, these princes had many guards by their side. And now, Old Emperor had been assassinated. This naturally gave them an even greater warning. This meant that they had to pay more attention to the safety of their lives, not to mention Fourth Prince. At this moment, the number of guards around them had increased by a lot.    

    

Therefore, it wouldn't be an easy task to kill Fourth Prince under such circumstances.    

    

"It's hard to say, but it's not like we don't have a chance." The Eighth Prince said.    

    

"What chance?"    

    

"Old Tenth!" The Eighth Prince said, "Sending assassins to assassinate Old Fourth is naturally not easy. But... What if the people around him attack him? It would be very difficult for him to guard against them. Now, Old Shi had already sided with Old Fourth. As long as we can convince Old Ten to help us, we can use him to get rid of Old Four!"    

    

Everyone was silent. They were thinking about the possibility of this matter. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was indeed a good idea.    

    

It was obviously very difficult to send an assassin to assassinate Fourth Prince at this time. However, if the person beside him who he trusted attacked him... As for Old Tenth, he had already pledged his allegiance to Old Fourth. After gaining his initial trust, he asked Old Ten to assassinate Old Four. It was indeed very likely that he would succeed.    

    

However, there was another problem in this matter, and that was, why did Old Ten help them?    

    

Now, Old Ten had already submitted to Old Four. After Old Four ascended the throne, old Tenth would obtain a lot of benefits as well. There was no need for him to take the risk for uncertain matters. Especially when this matter did not seem to be beneficial to him. That was even more so.    

    

"How are we going to convince Old Ten to help us?" Everyone looked at the Eighth Prince and asked. Unknowingly, the Eighth Prince had become their backbone.    

    

The Eighth Prince was obviously very satisfied with this. He enjoyed the feeling of being valued and the center of attention.    

    

Of course, there was still a problem that needed to be solved. He did not care about being complacent and continued, "It is indeed very difficult for Old Tenth to help us. However, I know that there is one thing that can make Old Tenth stand on our side."    

    

"What is it?" Someone asked.    

    

"Don't worry about that. Leave Old Ten to me. Gather your troops. Once Old Four dies, we need our men to quickly take over the defense of the entire city. We must not let the army of Yuan Feng Country take advantage of this opportunity. " The Eighth Prince didn't tell them what he knew. Instead, he told them to do something else.    

    

Although they weren't satisfied with the Eighth Prince's order, they knew that they couldn't do anything else at this time. It would be great if they could do what the Eighth Prince told them to do.    

    

A mocking look flashed across the Eighth Prince's eyes when he saw the crowd leave. These people actually wanted to compete for the throne with him? This was simply wishful thinking.
