"Stop them! Stop them!"

The third prince kept shouting at the soldiers around him, but the soldiers around him had been affected by Mu Zhi's spiritual energy. Unless someone could make the final decision and kill Xin Wenyuan directly, the fear in their hearts would only expand infinitely. In their eyes, the prince was like a demon who had just emerged from an ancient war. His power was unstoppable, and they were terrified of being killed.

Watching the Crown Prince getting closer and closer to him, the fear in the Third Prince's heart was growing infinitely. He knew that if he was really caught by his eldest brother, he would not necessarily die, but would be confined for the rest of his life and kept like an animal. And after experiencing the intoxicating power, for him to take away the power in his hands and be kept in captivity would be the greatest pain in his life. He did not want to lose the power in his hands.

"kill!"

The shouts of killing from Xin Wenyuan made the Third Prince's heart skip a beat. He looked at Xin Wenyuan who was getting closer and closer to him, looked at the sword in Xin Wenyuan's hand mercilessly slashing at the soldiers, and looked at the blood on Xin Wenyuan's body. It seemed as if he recognized for the first time his usually kind-hearted elder brother.

Fear continued to grow in the heart of the third prince. When he faced his eldest brother, he first had the idea of ​​running away, but he strangled the idea as soon as it appeared. Where could he run away to? From the new country? The revolution in the neighboring Liang country was in full swing. Kangguo on the other side of the mountain was a good place to go, but would he, a prince, really run to Kangguo? It was impossible for him to take the power and privileges of the new country to Kangguo.

While he was hesitating, Xin Wenyuan was less than fifty steps away from him. The last fifty steps were guarded by his personal soldiers and death squads. If they had not continued to risk their lives to stop Xin Wenyuan, he would have been captured by Xin Wenyuan.

"Third Prince! Hurry up! Get out of here!" An old man ran to the Third Prince and whispered to him, "Third Prince! Hurry up! The Crown Prince is too powerful now. The soldiers in our hands have no way to fight against them. The only ones who can fight against them are the Imperial Guards..."

The old man stopped talking here, because he knew that even if he didn't say anything, the third prince would be able to understand what he wanted to say next.

"Leave?" The Third Prince looked at the old man beside him, the butler who had been following him since he moved out of the palace. "Where can we go?"

"Kangguo! Liangguo! Which one can't we go to? As long as you, the Third Prince, are alive, that's enough!"

"Alive? If alive, why not live in my Daxin? Even if Big Brother catches me, given his personality, he will just keep me in captivity. He won't kill me, because no matter what, he is my Big Brother, just like I will keep him in captivity after I win."

"But in Kangguo and Liangguo, Your Highness the Third Prince still has your freedom!" the old butler said anxiously.

"Freedom?" The Third Prince lowered his head and remained silent for a long while. He only raised his head when Xin Wenyuan was already 20 steps away. "What's the use of freedom? Giving up my identity and my country to go somewhere else? I can't do such a thing. Instead of being a humble person in other countries, I'd rather be caught by my eldest brother. At least when I go out occasionally, people in Xin Country will still call me the Third Prince."

The old housekeeper looked at the third prince in front of him. He knew how much the third prince had paid for today's events. Even his favorite little sister, Princess Xianglan, was cursed by him in order to push everything onto the prince. But now the situation is different from before. Wu Yunzi has not come back yet. It is obvious that he has been held back by the new emperor. Now the only thing that can prove that Wu Yunzi is still in an advantageous position is the snow falling heavier in the sky. But no one knows whether Wu Yunzi can win. He has seen the new emperor's methods. Can Wu Yunzi really win? If Wu Yunzi loses, and the new emperor knows the third prince's plan, will he not be furious? Although even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, the new emperor is not a tiger after all. He has to pave the way for the prince who wins. How could he leave behind someone who has harmed the prince?

The old butler was very anxious, but he also knew that once the Third Prince made up his mind, he would not change it easily, just like when he advised the Third Prince not to take action against the Crown Prince. He was simply unable to persuade him and had no way to persuade the Third Prince to change his mind.

"Okay, don't worry," the Third Prince patted the old butler's shoulder gently, then he turned his head and looked in the direction of Xin Wenyuan, "All the guards and assassins, listen up! Get out of my way!"

The death squad was very obedient and they retreated immediately, but the personal soldiers did not follow the Third Prince's orders. They still stood in front of the Third Prince to prevent Xin Wenyuan from moving forward.

"Can't you hear me? Get out of my way! Do you want to disobey my orders?!"

Hearing the Third Prince's words, the guards trembled. They gathered together silently and made way between Xin Wenyuan and the Third Prince.

Xin Wenyuan also heard his third brother's shout. After his personal soldiers stopped attacking, he also ordered the Prince's Guards to stop attacking. The Prince's Guards immediately stopped the knives in their hands, even those that were about to chop out were stopped abruptly.

Looking at Xin Wenyuan's Prince's Guard, the Third Prince couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This was the Prince's Guard formed by his eldest brother, and they followed orders strictly. He was far behind his eldest brother in terms of military training.

Following the path made clear by the soldiers, he walked towards Xin Wenyuan. After walking about ten steps, the Third Prince looked at Xin Wenyuan, who was already covered in blood. "Brother, brother, there is no way we can be friends again. Why don't you let your men retreat and let you and I fight here? Whoever wins will win. How do you think?"

Xin Wenyuan also looked at his third brother and nodded: "Prince's guards, listen up, stay where you are, everyone wait for me to come back! If I am killed by the third brother, you must leave immediately and never take revenge on him for the rest of your life!"

"Yes!"

Xin Wenyuan walked out from the Prince's Guard. No one of the Prince's Guard tried to stop him. He walked in front of the Third Prince, five steps away from him.

"Brother, I really envy your Prince's Guards. They obey orders and follow discipline. How did you train them, brother?"

"Third Prince, do you know the predecessor of the Prince's Guard? The predecessor of the Prince's Guard was the guards who fought with me in the war. If the army cannot follow orders on the battlefield, the entire army will fall into a quagmire," Xin Wenyuan looked at the third prince, "but your guards are not bad either. They disobeyed your orders to protect you. They are also very good."
