Chapter 2194 Hiding

It was a bad start!

Wu Fan, who had already fled far away, covered his chest and muttered to himself.

Although he was not seriously injured, his body was not feeling well. The opponent was obviously stronger than him. He tried his best to avoid the opponent's fatal attack, but he still suffered some minor injuries.

As the third prince, Zhao Lun was not very favored by the old emperor in the past, and it was normal for him to have masters around him to protect him. However, Wu Fan did not expect that his luck was so bad. He had just sneaked into Zhao Lun's mansion and ran into the opponent.

And this was just what he encountered. It was hard to say whether there were any masters in Zhao Lun's mansion that he had not encountered.

"It seems that it is not easy to assassinate Zhao Lun." Wu Fan said to himself.

In fact, this is easy to understand. A person like Zhao Lun, in the game, is a small BOSS-level existence. Even after the death of the old emperor, Zhao Lun's identity and status have been improved. It is naturally not easy to kill such a person.

Of course, it is not that there is absolutely no chance, because he is only a small boss after all. If he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will be a big boss and will be more difficult to kill.

Wu Fan was not discouraged by his failure to kill Zhao Lun. After all, he went to Zhao Lun's mansion this time not to assassinate Zhao Lun, but just to see if there is a chance. Since the chance is not great, Wu Fan will think of other ways.

After leaving Zhao Lun's mansion, Wu Fan did not return to Zhou Mansion immediately, but went to the palace.

There are naturally many masters in the palace, but it is much larger than Zhao Lun's mansion. If he still encounters those masters, it can only mean that Wu Fan's luck is too bad.

On the other hand, Zhao Lun, who left the mansion, went directly to the Ministry of Rites to talk to Qi Kai.

However, when he got there, he was told that Qi Kai did not come to the yamen at all. Zhao Lun, who did not give up, went directly to Qi Kai's mansion.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Third Prince." At the gate of the Qi Mansion, the gatekeeper saw Zhao Lun coming and hurriedly saluted.

"I'm looking for Minister Qi." Zhao Lun said bluntly.

"Your Highness, my master is not at home." The servant replied.

"Not at home?" Zhao Lun frowned, with a hint of anger on his face, obviously not believing the servant's words.

"Yes."

"I don't believe it!"

After saying that, Zhao Lun rushed in directly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." The servant hurriedly followed, shouting anxiously, but did not dare to stop him.

Zhao Lun seemed to have heard nothing of the servant's shouting, and walked straight in, searching for Qi Kai room by room.

Everyone in the Qi Mansion was alarmed, and many people came out to see, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. After all, they were just servants, and Zhao Lun was a prince. The identity and status between the two sides were quite different. If they dared to stop Zhao Lun, they would probably lose their lives.

Zhao Lun, who was not stopped by anyone, searched the whole Qi Mansion, inside and outside, but still could not find Qi Kai.

Obviously, Qi Kai was not in the mansion.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Lun was very angry because he could not find Qi Kai. It was obvious that Qi Kai was deliberately avoiding him. As for why he was avoiding him, he knew it without thinking.

"Qi Kai, you are looking for death!" Zhao Lun thought viciously in his heart.

Zhao Lun wanted to find Qi Kai and persuade Qi Kai to turn to him, but now Qi Kai avoided him. It was obvious that he was determined to join the same camp with Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang. This made Zhao Lun very angry. He secretly thought in his heart that when he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would first deal with Qi Kai, the bastard.

The news that Zhao Lun returned without success soon reached Qi Kai's ears. At this time, he was in Zhou Yanfeng's mansion. Hearing the news from the servants at home, he felt a little complicated.

Qi Kai had long thought that someone would come to him. The people who came to him included not only Zhao Lun, but also Yuan Ji and Hou Yi. Their purpose was the same, they all wanted to win him over to their camp.

Qi Kai had changed sides several times before, and he was an absolute fence-sitter. He had no choice. Among the six ministers, he had the lowest status and the least power, but he was unwilling to accept this and wanted to fight. Therefore, he could only stand in this battle for the throne.

But his choices in the previous few times seemed to be wrong. Whenever he chose to support one side, this side would soon get into trouble and fall into a disadvantage, which made him very uncomfortable, and he did not have the courage to persist, so he kept changing camps.

Qi Kai also knew that if he did this, he would definitely be looked down upon by many people, and he did not want to do this, but this time, he finally made up his mind.

This time, Qi Kai chose to stand in the same camp with Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang, and no longer change camps.

Of course, he did this for his own considerations.

Because of the appearance of Doctor Liu, the will in Zhao Lun's hand can be basically determined to be a fake. Although Zhao Lun never admits this, almost all the ministers have understood this in their hearts. The only difference is that some people firmly believe that it is a fake, while others may pretend not to know for their own interests.

But in any case, the will in Zhao Lun's hand is no longer as appealing as before, and it will also become a breakthrough for others to attack Zhao Lun. Qi Kai is not optimistic that Zhao Lun can withstand so much pressure and successfully ascend the throne.

As for Yuanji and Hou Yi, they support the second prince Zhao Ke. Although Zhao Ke's suspicion has been largely cleared with the appearance of Gu Lin, he is still in prison after all. Moreover, everything now is just Gu Lin's one-sided words. Although it is highly credible, it does not mean that his words are necessarily true. It can also become an opportunity for people with ulterior motives to attack him.

Therefore, even if Zhao Ke can get out of prison, it is still hard to say whether he can ascend to the throne.

As for Zhou Yanfeng and the others, although they are just a group of ministers, through the previous chat, Zhou Yanfeng has a vague intention to support other princes. Qi Kai was shocked by Zhou Yanfeng's bold idea, but he was also quite looking forward to it and moved.

If they support a new prince, the three of them will be the most trusted and relied upon people of this prince. Once they succeed, they will get huge rewards, which is much better than supporting the first, second and third princes. After all, there is no shortage of supporters around these three princes. Even if they join them, they are only latecomers, and the benefits they can get may not be much, at least they are certainly not as good as the confidants of these three princes.

Therefore, although supporting another prince has risks, the benefits are also huge.

Risks and benefits coexist.
