The three princes were not stupid, so they naturally heard the hidden meaning.
They all took the opportunity of the condolence
visit to win over the Duncan family.
It would be best if it can be successful. But
if it doesn’t work, they can at least improve their favorability.
Of course, the most crucial point is that as
long as the Duncan family does not take sides and does not become their enemy,
there is still room for the situation to turn around.
There is no need to rush.
"Duke Duncan, you are too polite. We just
admire General Duncan's loyalty and bravery, so we came to express our
condolences. We have no other intentions." Li Wenxing spoke first.
"Yes, Duke Duncan, the Duncan family is
very busy with official duties, and you are already in your 60s. You should
take care of your health and not overwork yourself. The three of us brothers
will not disturb you too much today." Li Guanglong clasped his fists and
took the initiative to resign.
"List……"
Just as Li Juntang was about to say something,
he was interrupted by Li Wenxing: "My dear third brother, Duke Duncan is
tired, so we, the idle people, should not make trouble. Let's go."
Snort! Does that allow you to talk? As soon as
you open your mouth, that little mouth starts moving around, and even a dead
person can be said to be alive. If you stay here for a moment longer, you can
never be sure that you will take advantage of the opportunity and attack.
I can't win over the Duncan family, and you
can't succeed either.
"Third brother, second brother has
something to tell you, let's go and talk outside!"
Li Guanglong was even more straightforward. He
put one hand directly on Li Juntang's shoulder and dragged him out of the door.
Li Juntang had prepared some remarks in
advance, but his hard words were held back.
"Duke Duncan, please accept my
condolences. We will take our leave now."
After Li Wenxing nodded slightly, he also
followed them out of the mourning hall.
At this moment, he and Li Guanglong have the
same goal, which is to make Li Juntang shut up and be less troublesome.
Li Guanglong put his arm around Li Juntang's
shoulder and walked out of the gate of Duncan's mansion.
The former was smiling, while the latter had a
gloomy face.
"Second brother, that's enough!"
As soon as Li Juntang walked out of the door,
he shook off Li Guanglong's hand and said in a very unhappy tone: "You
want to leave on your own, why did you pull me out?"
"Third brother, the Duncan family is
holding a funeral, why do you keep pestering and attracting attention? Second
brother is doing this for your own good." Li Guanglong smiled wryly.
"Hmph! Who knows what you are
planning?" Li Juntang snorted coldly.
"Third brother, you heard what Duke Duncan
said just now. His son just died and he has no time to take care of other
things. Why force him?" Li Wenxing said calmly.
"Brother, you are not wrong, but how is
your purpose of coming here different from mine?" Li Juntang retorted.
They are all like weasels bowing to chickens,
with no good intentions, and no one has the right to criticize anyone.
"Brother just hopes that you don't go
astray." said Li Wenxing.
"Whether you have taken the wrong path or
not, I won't bother you, elder brother. Goodbye!"
Li Juntang was too lazy to say anything more,
he just flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Now that my father's condition is getting
worse, a crown prince will be appointed soon. The rivalry and competition among
the three has been fully exposed.
One step at a time, one step to death.
Once you succeed in taking power, you will be
in charge of the overall situation and become the ruler of all people.
If you fail, there is a high possibility that
you will never be able to recover!
At this stage, the three of them must go all
out and do whatever it takes.
"Second brother, among the three of us, it
seems that only the third brother is the most favored by the emperor."
Looking at Li Juntang's back, Li Wenxing
suddenly blurted out something.
"That's right, my third brother has been
loved by our father since he was young." Li Guanglong nodded.
"Ruwu, I mean Ruwu, if our third brother
takes the position, what do you think will be the fate of the two of us?" Li
Wenxing asked again.
"My third brother is a man of deep
thoughts and revenge. Once he ascends the throne, I'm afraid we will both have
a bad ending." Li Guanglong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes, given Third Brother's personality,
it would be difficult for him to tolerate the two of us." Li Wenxing
sighed meaningfully.
As brothers and competitors, they both knew Li Juntang's
character very well.
Although they appear kind on the surface, they
are actually petty and vindictive. If they offend the nobles, they will die
miserably in the end.
"Brother, you know that I value friendship
the most. I will repay anyone who is kind to me tenfold or a hundredfold."
At this point, Li Guanglong suddenly changed the
subject: "Instead of letting my third brother take the throne and putting
both you and I in danger, why don't you support me to ascend the throne
directly? As long as I sit on the throne, I will definitely not forget your
contribution."
Hearing this, Li Wenxing's eyelids twitched,
and then he smiled: "Second brother has a huge influence, and he has the
support of Prince Montgomery's Mansion, so why does he need me to add icing on
the cake?"
In terms of character, Li Guanglong is indeed
better than Li Juntang, but he is only slightly better.
To be honest, they are all ruthless characters
who would eat people without leaving any bones.
How could he possibly believe such nice words
from the other party?
Besides, who wouldn’t want to sit in a seat
that’s available to millions of people?
He has been dormant for half his life, and now
he is unwilling to give up his position. - Ton
