Life or Death?

After listening to Li Juntang's words, Li Wenxing's expression became particularly heavy, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that he still thought too simply.

He thought it was just a competition between a few brothers, but he didn't expect that it would give Eugene Montgomery, the tiger, an opportunity to take advantage of.

Eugene Montgomery's power is already very large.

This time, in the name of supporting Li Guanglong to ascend to the throne, he formed gangs and factions everywhere, recruited talents, and even had an influence comparable to that of the royal family.

If the other party really supports Li Guanglong to ascend to the throne, he will surely be more powerful than the master, and no one can suppress him.

The worst case scenario is that he will use the emperor to command the princes and completely overthrow the regime of the Li Dynasty!

"Third brother, are all the words you said true?" Li Wenxing frowned and asked.

"It's absolutely true, not a single word of falsehood!" Li Juntang said seriously: "Of course, if big brother doesn't believe it, you can order someone to investigate it yourself."

"Of course I believe you, but... it's not easy to deal with Eugene Montgomery. Do you have any good ideas?" Li Wenxing asked.

"I have ordered people to remind the second brother, but the effect is very small. The second brother thinks I have ulterior motives and doesn't believe me at all. For now, only if we join forces to prevent the second brother from taking the throne can we crush Eugene Montgomery's conspiracy!" Li Juntang said.

His words were half true and half false. Although they sounded righteous, they were full of his own selfishness.

In terms of power, he is not as good as the second brother Li Guanglong now.

If he can join forces with the eldest brother Li Wenxing, then the chances of winning will be much greater.

Of course, the most important thing is that once Li Guanglong is overthrown, the position of the crown prince will belong to him.

Because Li Wenxing can't compete with him at all.

This is his plan.

"It seems that this is the only way." Li Xingwen nodded thoughtfully.

For the sake of the Li Dynasty and his own interests, he must prevent Li Guanglong from taking the throne.

"So, big brother agreed?" Li Juntang raised his eyebrows.

"For both public and private reasons, I cannot let Eugene Montgomery's conspiracy succeed. However, with the power of the two of us, it is probably still a little short of fighting against Eugene Montgomery and his men. We need to find a few more powerful allies." Li Wenxing analyzed.

"Four of the eight great families have already chosen to join the camp of the Montgomery Palace. We can strive for the other four, but in this regard, we still have to rely on your connections, big brother." Li Juntang said.

"I do know some old friends among the big families. It shouldn't be a big problem to win them over."

Li Wenxing suddenly changed the subject: "But compared to the big families, the four royal families are the ones we focus on winning over. Putting aside the Montgomery Palace, there are also the Spanner family, the Bryant family, and the Duncan family."

"The Bryant family is closely connected with the Montgomery Palace. It is estimated that they have joined the second brother's camp. It is difficult to win them over. We can only start with the Spanner family and the Duncan family."

Li Juntang said calmly: "Brother, I have a good relationship with the Spanner family. I can be a lobbyist and try my best to win them over. As for the Duncan family, you have to do it yourself."

"Okay, I will go to the Duncan family in person tomorrow morning to see what Duke Duncan thinks." Li Wenxing nodded and did not refuse.

If the Duncan family can be won over, it will definitely be a great help.

"Brother, I have something to ask of you." Li Juntang said again.

"Just ask if you have anything to say. We are in the same boat now and should help each other." Li Wenxing said with great pride.

"Brother, if we want to seize the initiative, we must have a big enough advantage in intelligence, and this is exactly Margaret's specialty. Her Baixiaotang is definitely in the top three in intelligence collection in the entire Dragonmarsh. If Margaret helps us, things will go more smoothly." Li Juntang said.

Among the many princes and princesses, Margaret is undoubtedly very outstanding.

And unlike their military and political development, the other party mainly builds intelligence agencies. After years of accumulation, the intelligence network can be said to be spread throughout the Dragonmarsh.

Definitely not to be underestimated.

"You mean, let me bring Margaret over too?" Li Wenxing narrowed his eyes.

"Brother, you have a good personal relationship with Margaret. As long as you ask, I believe she will not refuse." Li Juntang smiled.

"Not necessarily." Li Wenxing shook his head: "I know Margaret's character. She never participates in party disputes. She will never agree to help us deal with her second brother."

Margaret's intelligence agency is naturally beyond reproach, but the other party is very principled in doing things. When it comes to competition between princes, they always remain neutral.

"Brother, we just asked Margaret to provide intelligence, not to let her directly participate in it. I don't think this is against the principle. At most, we can pay more for intelligence." Li Juntang said.

"This..." Hearing this, Li Wenxing frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Brother, everything is important for the overall situation!" Li Juntang said earnestly.

"Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that it will work." After a little contemplation, Li Wenxing finally nodded.

Although he didn't want to drag Margaret into the water, the current political situation was turbulent and undercurrents were surging. As a royal heir, he couldn't stay out of it.

Some things had to be done even if he didn't want to. - Ton
