Chapter 641: It’s all the Third Prince’s plan!

Another 800-mile express.

Two consecutive frontline battle reports were delivered to the desk of Emperor Sun and Moon. After reading the reports, Emperor Sun and Moon became even more secretive. This made the civil and military officials below more cautious, and they began to wonder if there was another accident during the southward rebellion.

It was the Crown Prince Xu Tianran who spoke first and asked about the situation, "Father, I wonder how the situation is with my third brother?"

In fact, during this period, Xu Tianran also took some action. He sent people to secretly contact the White Lotus Sect, wanting the White Lotus Sect to help kill the third prince and kill with a borrowed knife.

He promised to pacify the White Lotus Sect in the future, leaving a way out for the White Lotus Sect, and also provide the White Lotus Sect with supplies and even soul guide support.

Of course, the identity of the person he sent was concealed.

As a result, the people he sent never came back to report. They didn’t run away, but were killed by the White Lotus Sect!

The White Lotus Sect was so uncooperative that Xu Tianran had to consider other ways to target the Third Prince. However, Xu Tianran also bore a grudge against the White Lotus Sect and vowed to completely eradicate it.

However, before Xu Tianran could make any plans to target the third prince, two consecutive war reports were sent to Mingdu, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Emperor Sun and Moon waved his hand and asked the eunuchs around him to read out the two war reports in front of everyone, so that everyone could understand the specific situation of the rebellion.

Both battle reports were written by the commander of the Southern Army.

The first battle report was about the White Lotus Army's night attack on the main camp, the deaths of the two Beast King Corps leaders, and the heavy losses in the main camp. The leader of the Southern Corps also apologized in the battle report, because he was also responsible for the destruction of the main camp.

The second battle report was about the Third Prince leading his army to counterattack the White Lotus Army and achieve a great victory, but then going deep into the southern provinces to quell the rebellion. The head of the Southern Army again pleaded guilty in the battle report. He pleaded guilty first, because if something unexpected happened to the Third Prince, he couldn't take the blame.

The contents of the two war reports were read out by the eunuchs in the hall, causing an uproar in the court.

The camp was breached?

The leaders of the two Beast King Legions were killed?

Are you kidding me?

Are they still asleep?

The leaders of the Five Beast King Soul Instructor Groups hold extremely high status in the Status Empire. Jing Hongchen is the pinnacle of soul instructors on the surface, and the five leaders are the five soul instructors second only to Jing Hongchen.

Now two of them died in one go?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

But the battle report written personally by the commander of the Southern Army Corps left no room for doubt.

As for the officials from the Third Prince's faction, their eyes turned and they began to praise the Third Prince.

"I didn't expect the battle situation on the front lines to be so tragic. The Third Prince turned the tide. This is truly a blessing for the Empire and Your Majesty."

"The Third Prince is a young talent. Not only has he become a Titled Douluo at such a young age, he also has a 100,000-year spirit ring, demonstrating the prestige of our Sun-Moon Empire's genius!"

"The Third Prince's counterattack against the White Lotus Sect is to save the reputation of our empire!"

Anyone could tell that these officials' praise for the Third Prince was a bit exaggerated.

Unfortunately, not many officials chose to stand on the side of the third prince, and most of them were officials related to the royal family.

After all, the third prince’s base is not in the officialdom.

Xu Tianran no longer cared about remembering the faces of those officials who spoke. He now had only one thought, which was - why?

Why can the third prince break through to the Titled Douluo?

Why does the Third Prince have a hundred thousand year ninth soul ring?

How could the third prince survive and lead the legion?

In Mingdu, the only thing that happens is the silver party. Is he just acting it out?

Although the battle report did not say so, how could Xu Tianran not have imagined that the Third Prince had already firmly grasped all the legions on the front line in his hands!

It’s too late to do anything now, and we have lost the opportunity.

Even if there were some losses due to the battle, it was still a soul guide army of a thousand people, including more than three hundred elites from the two beast king legions.

The Third Prince who controls such power is enough to make him fear him, even... feared by the Sun and Moon Emperor!

Thinking of this, Xu Tianran quietly raised his head and looked at the Sun and Moon Emperor. Sure enough, he saw that the Sun and Moon Emperor was looking at him.

It was as if he had glanced at it unintentionally, and the Sun and Moon Emperor quickly withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought.

Now the Sun and Moon Emperor is indeed wary of the Third Prince and even has more doubts.

"Could it be... that all this was planned by the Third Brother? He has been disguising himself the whole time? Could it be that he is also behind the White Lotus Sect? Otherwise, how could he allow the enemy to poison the military camp so easily? And why was he safe and sound when the leaders of the two Beast King Legions were killed after the enemy broke into the camp?"

"The most important thing is, after the main camp was breached, he gathered the remaining soldiers and dared to counterattack the White Lotus Sect immediately. How could he be sure that he would win?"

No matter how the Sun and Moon Emperor thought about it, he felt that the White Lotus Sect was cooperating with the Third Prince, and that the Third Prince had succeeded!

It felt outrageous, but it was consistent with everything that happened and he felt it was the most likely scenario.

"He deceived me and deceived everyone!"

Thinking of this, Emperor Sun and Moon's breathing became heavier, and then he started to cough violently. The eunuch beside him hurriedly helped him to breathe and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but when the handkerchief was put away, the white handkerchief was stained with a hint of red.

The Sun and Moon Emperor and his personal eunuch remained calm.

The emperor's physical condition must never be easily known to outsiders. Those who can stay by the side of the Sun and Moon Emperor and serve him at this time are all his confidants, and they naturally know what to do.

"Your Majesty?" a minister asked with concern.

"It's okay. I just recovered from a serious illness and am still weak. I just caught a cold recently." The Sun and Moon Emperor said casually.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

The ministers spoke one after another.

The Sun and Moon Emperor waved his hand casually.

It's time for him to deal with the Third Prince's affairs.

Compared to the White Lotus Army, the Third Prince seems to deserve to be dealt with more.

It is infuriating that the Third Prince has damaged the power of the empire, but his plan is even more chilling.

If the White Lotus Army is really the force controlled by the Third Prince, then the power controlled by the Third Prince now is too terrifying.

A corps of soul masters numbering thousands and tens of thousands of White Lotus Army soul masters are now marching northward to attack Mingdu, and they may be able to capture Mingdu.

Even the deaths of the Fourth and Fifth Princes might have been caused by him behind the scenes.

Emperor Sun and Moon had to admit that his son was doing even better than he had done in his youth.

But this is not a reason for the third prince to imitate him!

Besides, it is not certain now that the White Lotus Sect is definitely controlled by the Third Prince!

Finally, the Sun-Moon Emperor made a decision. He slowly said, "Crown Prince, you lead the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group and the Western Soul Mentor Group to support the Third Brother."

It was just a verbal command.

Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, bowed slightly, without any expression of surprise, but with a serious look on his face, "Yes, father, I will ensure that my third brother is safe."

Because Xu Tianran knew that this legion was not easy to lead, and the Sun and Moon Emperor must have some plan!

The Sun and Moon Emperor looked at Xu Tianran deeply.

There is bound to be a conflict between Xu Tianran and the third prince, and one of them may even stay in the southern province forever.

But no matter who wins between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, the Sun-Moon Empire will have an extremely powerful emperor!

Even though the Sun-Moon Emperor was unwilling, he had to consider the empire due to his physical condition.

"Other legions should strengthen control over other aspects of the empire. I don't want something like the White Lotus Sect to happen again. At the same time, we should guard against the Xing Luo Empire taking the opportunity to invade."

"Let's all go back."
