Chapter 2102 Duan Wanming's ambition

The City Lord's Mansion is brightly lit at night. As the number one person in the neighboring city to the south, there is no doubt about Duan Wanming's wealth and power. The entire City Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area, and there are many guards and servants. Even at night, it is like daytime.

Such a situation made Hou Zhong and others who sneaked into the city lord's mansion frown unconsciously.

"This old thing is quite luxurious." Hou Zhong said in a low voice.

The too bright light obviously affected their actions. If the surroundings were pitch dark, their actions would undoubtedly be much smoother. Now, if they wanted to assassinate Zhao Xuan, they would have to take a lot of risks.

However, things have reached this point, and it is impossible for Hou Zhong to give up.

Therefore, after observing secretly for a while, Hou Zhong still decided to act.

"You guys go over there, you guys follow me."

Hou Zhong divided the people into two groups to increase the speed of the search.

"Remember, be careful. Once you find your target, take action immediately. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay, act now!"

As soon as the words fell, the two groups of people went in two different directions. Everyone, including Hou Zhong, was no stranger to this kind of thing, and could even be said to be very good at it. If the light here was not too bright, Hou Zhong would Chong and other people won't even have any worries.

At this time, Duan Wanming and Zhao Xuan didn't know that Hou Zhong and others had quietly sneaked into the city lord's palace.

However, the two people were not together at this time. After eating, Zhao Xuan returned to the room assigned to him by Duan Wanming. Along the way, he was frightened and upset about losing the throne. Now, he finally arrived at the southern neighbor City, the hanging heart was relieved, and coupled with the good news from the imperial capital, Zhao Xuan finally relaxed and he could finally take a good rest.

However, although Zhao Xuan took a rest, Duan Wanming did not. He was in his study. At the same time, there were also his three sons in the study.

Duan Wanming has many women, as well as many children. He has five sons alone, but two are too young and are not in the study at this time, and there are as many as eight daughters, which can be said to be quite prosperous.

"Dad, the eldest prince has already made arrangements. He is probably asleep now." Duan Zeguang, who was responsible for making arrangements for the eldest prince, said.

Duan Zeguang is Duan Wanming's eldest son. He is in his thirties this year. He is mature and stable, and he is very reliable in doing things.

Duan Wanming nodded and asked, "Did he ask anything?"

Duan Zeguang shook his head and said: "No, it can be seen that he is very tired. I guess he doesn't have the energy to ask anything at this time."

Duan Wanming said: "Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't let him get into an accident, and don't let him leave the southern city. No matter where he goes, someone must follow him."

"Yes, Dad."

"Dad, are you being too cautious in doing this? This southern city is the territory of our Duan family. Who dares to harm the eldest prince here?" Duan Wanming's second son Duan Zeyun said with some confusion.

"In these special times, anything can happen." Duan Wanming said: "Whether it is the second prince or the third prince, they will regard the eldest prince as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, and do some outrageous things. It is normal."

Duan Wanming is well aware of the cruelty of the fight for the throne. In front of the throne, brotherhood and brotherhood are not worth mentioning. The eldest prince can send people to assassinate the third prince, and the third prince can also send people to assassinate the eldest prince. A prince, let alone a second prince, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious and Duan Wanming does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Besides, I did this not entirely because of the safety of the eldest prince." Duan Wanming continued.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Duan Wanming looked at his three sons, his face was solemn and a little excited, and he said: "These are troubled times now. Troubled times have arrived. As the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times. Since we have caught up with these troubled times, naturally we must We have made great achievements in troubled times, and now that the eldest prince has fled to our southern city, it is an excellent opportunity sent to us by God. If we don't seize it, wouldn't we be sorry for God's favor on us? "

The three brothers looked at their excited father with some surprise and curiosity in their hearts. Thinking carefully about what their father had just said, the three of them seemed to understand something.

"Dad, do you want to participate in this battle for the throne?" Duan Wanming's third son Duan Zeyu asked.

"Yes!" Duan Wanming did not deny it: "Now that the eldest prince is in the southern city, how can we stay out of it?"

If several princes were in the imperial capital, it would be quite difficult for Duan Wanming to participate, but it was different now. The eldest prince left the imperial capital and entered his southern neighboring city. Under such circumstances, how could Duan Wanming be willing to miss it? This opportunity?

Heroes emerge from troubled times, and Duan Wanming is also an ambitious person, so naturally he cannot be satisfied with just the position of city lord.

"However, relatives of the emperor cannot participate in government affairs. Even if we support the eldest prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, we will not lose much benefit." Duan Zeguang said.

"You are right, but what if the eldest prince insists on rewarding us heavily after he ascends the throne?" Duan Wanming said.

"Insist on rewarding us heavily? Dad, will the eldest prince go against all the officials for us?" Duan Zeyun asked doubtfully.

Although they are related by marriage to the eldest prince, will the eldest prince really stand against the officials for them?

It doesn't seem possible when you think about it.

"It doesn't matter what he thinks, we can help him make a decision!" Duan Wanming said meaningfully.

Help him make a decision?

Duan Wanming's three sons didn't quite understand what their father meant.

If the eldest prince really succeeded in ascending the throne, he would be the emperor of their Yanfeng Kingdom. Even if they were relatives of the eldest prince, they probably had no way to help the eldest prince make a decision.

"Does the eldest prince have anyone else around him now?" Duan Wanming asked his three sons.

The three sons shook their heads almost at the same time.

The eldest prince fled in a hurry, and he didn't bring many people with him, not even many guards, let alone counselors and servants.

It can be said that although the eldest prince can't be called a lonely man, there aren't many people around him.

"That's it!" Duan Wanming said, "The eldest prince is now in our southern neighbor city. If he still wants to fight for the throne, the only one he can rely on is us. In this case, we can completely control him! Let him obey our orders."

Control the eldest prince?

Duan Wanming's three sons were shocked when they heard their father's words.

Their father's words had a great impact on them.
