Chapter 931 Pipe Dream

He made fun of him in a languid manner with some unclear implications.

When the Forth Prince Long Yunxiao glanced at Long Qinghan, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.

However, he had concealed his thought very well, so no one else had noticed it.

He continued pretending to be a fearless and bossy man, gave Long Qinghan a cold look, and said in a deep voice,

“No matter how beautiful she is, she belongs to our father. I don’t think he will give her to me.”

Although his voice was low, the surrounding people heard his words clearly.

Long Tianyu remained emotionless, but the others were all secretly cursing at his hypocrisy.

They had grown up together, so they knew what others were thinking very well.

Long Yunxiao had been gloomy since childhood, and he was very sly. So, he had always secretly taken revenge on whoever had offended him.

After they grew up, the Crown Prince suspected and guarded against all of them.

But their father did not allow them to return to their fiefdoms, so they could only swallow their pride and pretend to be compliant in the capital city.

As the eldest legitimate son, the Crown Prince was naturally doted on.

However, the other princes had to put on disguises to prevent the Crown Prince and the Empress from harming them.

They had all received excellent education since childhood. Long Qinghan didn’t have the dedicated support of his grandparents’ family and had never cast greedy eyes on the throne, but he had also been forced to be a rich idler for more than ten years.

This was all thanks to the Empress and the Crown Prince.

So, they had come to vent their anger. After all, they had endured the grievances for many years.

“Yunxiao, you’re two years older than me, but you always pretended to be immature. Who cares about that beauty? Except for the Seventh Prince, our mothers are all in the palace now.”

The speaker was a tall man in purple armor. He had large eyes and a high nose, looking exotic.

Because his mother was a gift from a foreign country, he was the humblest one among these princes.

But his mother was anxious to outdo others. Because she was a low-level singer, she was not as proud as the other concubines.

Therefore, as the Sixth Prince, he also had some power.

But he was much inferior to the other princes.

He was also clearly aware of his situation. He had deeply concealed his covetous thoughts and had never thought he could really fight for the throne one day.

But when he was about to give up, the Crown Prince openly rebelled.

Maybe he could take advantage of the chaos and let his father hand the throne over to him. So, now might be the moment when he was closest to the throne.

However, the reality was harder than what he’d imagined.

Even so, he did not give up.

Hearing the Sixth Prince Long Qiao’s words, the other princes present all fell silent.

Even though some princes’ mothers had passed away, some people they cared about were still in the palace.

Long Qinghan knew Long Qiao was trying to suppress himself, but he was not angry.

If he couldn’t even endure these little tricks, he would not have been able to fool the Empress.

He smiled gently like bathing in the spring wind,

“Qiao, you indeed have filial piety. Why don’t you lead the charge in this battle?”

Hearing this, Long Qiao became a little impatient.

If he could lead the charge, he would not have come here and wasted his time on them.

Long Tianyu turned to look at Long Qiao and Long Yunxiao coldly. The huge pressure forced them to shut their mouths up.

They knew very well that if they wanted the throne, their main enemy was no longer the Crown Prince.

The Third Prince Long Tianyu who was always composed despite being surrounded by thousands of troops was their strongest competitor now.

Unfortunately, they were not capable enough, so they could only rely on their greatest enemy now.

They were nursing aggrievances, so they felt angrier than when the Empress made fool of them.

“Stop arguing. I’ll spearhead the attack.”

His deep and arrogant voice brought more than just shock to people on this chilly night.

The commander on their side was Long Tianyu, but the commander on the opposite side was not the Crown Prince who was an idiot.

But if Long Tianyu and Qinghan wanted to reach their goal, the former would have to fight for it in person.

“No way! Tianyu, you are the chief commander. If you’re hurt, what should we do?”

Long Qiao objected before Long Qinghan who cared about Long Tianyu the most could speak.

He pretended to be worried about Long Tianyu, but he was just afraid the latter would break into the palace first.

He planned to hold the Imperial Noble Consort hostage to threaten Long Tianyu, but if the latter led the charge, his plan would be foiled.

Long Tianhao ignored his words, while Long Qinghan mocked,

“Can’t you see the palace is bottled up? The Crown Prince has prepared well. If Tianyu does not spearhead the attack, none of you can break into the palace.”

When Long Qinghan glanced at them casually, the usual gentle look in his eyes gradually turned cold.

“Let me speak frankly. The Crown Prince is rebelling to force the Emperor to abdicate, and we are here to set things right. If you think you can take this opportunity to play any dirty tricks, you will regret it. To tell you the truth, the Crown Prince has not caught our father yet. He is capable, but he can’t do anything to our father’s guards. So, I don’t think any of you can do that.”

Although Long Qinghan did not mention any name, his words were a warning to some of the princes.

Then, he sneered and put away his usual elegant look.

In fact, everyone had misjudged him. He was not an elegant gentleman at all.

Instead, he was like a long blade forged in a volcano and a sea of blood.

And he would behead whoever offended him without hesitation.

He then approached Long Tianhao on his horse and stopped by his side.

They had the same black warhorses, the same red armors, and the same stern expressions.

The surrounding princes could not help feeling regretful and deeply scared.

Not only they but also the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor who was trapped in the palace had misjudged Long Qinghan.

Long Tianyu was like a cold and sharp famous sword. And Long Qinghan was like a blade in troubled times. Once he was drawn out of the scabbard, he would bring calamity to the world.

The sword and the blade could maintain the stability of Dajin and make the Emperor live a peaceful life.

However, the sharp blade was now standing firmly behind the famous sword.

They supported and trusted each other, so they could watch each other’s back.

Now, all the other princes regretted that their mother had not adopted Long Qinghan when his mother died.

If the two of them cooperated, the others would never have the chance to fight for the throne any longer.

Some princes secretly gnashed their teeth, but they knew there was no turning back.

The Crown Prince was narrow-minded, so he would kill them even if they surrendered now.

If they retreated now, Long Tianyu would think that they were hatching a sinister plot once he ascended to the throne.

They were caught in a dilemma now.

It seemed that they shouldn’t have gotten involved in such a thing on impulse.

“Why did you say such words? No matter what, we are your older brothers. We all understand the severity of the matter!”

Long Qiao’s expression changed several times, but in the end, he put on the same appearance as before.

Long Qinghan glanced at him indifferently, snorted, then remained silent.

“All of you will go with me. I’ll lead the charge, and you’ll follow behind me. Each of you will bring two hundred elite soldiers. Let’s attack them together!”

The confrontation between the brothers did not affect Long Tianyu.

He glanced at the vague figures on the wall of the palace and showed a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

“Kill all those who disobey!”

Except for Long Qinghan, all the princes were stunned when hearing Long Tianyu’s order.

Did he intend to kill them all?

His voice had sent shivers down their spines.

No, Long Tianyu was a devil sword instead of a famous sword!

“Kill!”

Pointing the spear in his hand in the direction of the enemy, Long Tianyu growled and took the lead to spur his horse to rush toward the Imperial Palace like a red flame.

In the darkness, his red armor was particularly eye-catching.

In a flash, the two hundred fearless elite soldiers behind him turned into a stream and charged at the green army together with him.

Blood sprayed everywhere, and wails filled the air.

The army led by Long Tianyu had an indomitable determination.

On the contrary, the Crown Prince and his army had failed in taking the preemptive opportunity because of the commander’s wrong decision.

Right now, they were outwardly strong and inwardly weak. Mere two hundred elite soldiers had managed to create an opening on the battlefield.

Everything that happened tonight was destined to be legendary. And the princes who followed behind Long Tianyu with their soldiers were surprised to see what was happening there.

This... this was simply unbelievable!

The night was dark. Even if both sides were holding torches, they could not see every corner clearly.

As soon as Long Tianyu and his soldiers rushed in, some soldiers in the green were secretly killed by their army comrades beside them.

Taking advantage of the darkness, those killers immediately left where they had killed people.

When the red and the green armies clashed, they swiftly stripped off their green uniforms, revealing the red clothes which belonged to the “enemy” ...

The cavalrymen in red were approaching them. From a distance, it seemed they went there to keep the situation well under their control. However, if people looked closely, they would discover the cavalrymen who came to kill enemies were picking out the soldiers in red among those in green when the two armies clashed.

After the cooperation, the soldiers in red mounted their horses.

Then, the cavalrymen retreated while fighting and let the soldiers dismount as soon as they reached the safe area.

After this had repeated several times, the men in green uniforms were either killed or panicked. They were afraid their army comrades would change from green to red and pierce a hole in their chests at any time.

Panic would cause people to make mistakes, and suspicion was a deadly poison on the battlefield.

Because some soldiers in green were scared by the blood and wanted to survive, they seized every opportunity to stab their completely defenseless army comrades.
