The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"What is Lord Chen planning to do?"

Seeing Chen Ming's conflicted expression, Su Yun immediately came over.

"Don't worry! Leave this matter to me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming sighed helplessly.

"Lord Chen, you just need to cooperate with my actions. I guarantee to give His Highness an explanation within three days."

……

After returning to her room, Yang Ling's expression immediately darkened.

Previously, when he went out, he felt that someone was following him, but he did not take it seriously at the time. However, he did not expect that these people were actually from the State of Qi.

"Your Highness! Chen Ming has already left, should we..."

Hearing Yun'er's words, Yang Ling smiled helplessly.

"Chen Ming does have problems, but it's not advisable for us to have any friction with him right now, since the Qi situation hasn't been resolved yet!"

Yang Ling frowned slightly. He had just destroyed the State of Chu, and now the State of Qi was sending people to assassinate him. It was somewhat unreasonable.

There may be other unknown secrets behind this.

Yun'er looked at Yang Ling with a worried expression on her face. Chen Ming and Huang Chaowei were at odds with each other, and now Su Yun had joined the fray. It seemed that the Ninth Prince's days in Liangzhou would only become more and more difficult.

While Yang Ling was filled with anxiety, the Second Prince Yang Kang was holding a grand banquet at a restaurant.

"Your presence here today makes you my honored guests from this day forward. Whatever happens to me in the future, I will never let you down!"

Yang Kang was incredibly excited as he looked at the officials who had come to see him. He knew that it was no easy feat to gather so many people in Liangzhou, a place where the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince were locked in a power struggle.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? We are all devoted to the Great Liang Kingdom. Your Highness is skilled and has a magnificent bearing. He will surely be able to command the three armies in the future. It is our honor to be with Your Highness."

Officials who had already pledged allegiance to Yang Kang began to flatter him, and those around him who were still unaware of the situation also rushed up to fawn over him.

The power struggles among princes were a common problem in every dynasty. Those who served as officials, especially those at the lower levels, were eager to establish connections with the princes.

They had already gotten along well with Yang Ling before, and now that there was another prince, they naturally wouldn't have the slightest bit of disdain.

"Yes! The Second Prince is destined for greatness, and we will certainly give him our full support."

The people below began to whisper among themselves, while Yang Kang beamed with joy, his heart overflowing with happiness.

Although he had been outmaneuvered by Yang Ling before, that matter was nothing to him. As long as he could gain the support of these people, he would be able to establish himself in Liangzhou.

He only needs to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and when Yang Ling and the Crown Prince are both badly injured, he can then reap the final benefits.

"Second Prince, why didn't you invite me today?"

Just then, a deep voice sounded from outside.

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Kang's smile immediately froze.

When they saw someone suddenly appear outside, everyone's expression turned somewhat grim.

No one expected that Su Yun, who had just arrived in Liangzhou, would also get involved.

This guy is a blatant princeling; he's definitely not going to cause any good trouble here.

Yang Kang frowned deeply, but in his heart he had already cursed Su Yun's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"This must be Lord Su Yun! Your presence is an honor, how come you didn't inform me? I'm so sorry for the inconvenience!"

Although I was very unwilling, I still had to do the work to save face, otherwise I would definitely suffer.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I am still a subject, and there is a difference in rank before you. I would never dare to call myself Your Highness!"

Su Yun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, his face completely unconcerned. Even the Ninth Prince was no match for him, so how could a Second Prince, who was still inexperienced, possibly compare to him?

That being said, we still have to put on a show, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the imperial court.

Upon hearing Su Yun's words, Yang Kang gave a cold smile and sized up the uninvited guest.

"May I ask what brings Lord Su here?"

Su Yun smiled faintly, ignoring Yang Kang, and walked into the crowd on his own: "Gentlemen, you are all pillars of Liangzhou. I feel very close to you today."

After he finished speaking, he didn't continue, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Who would have thought that Su Yun would actually come here? After all, he was someone close to the Crown Prince, so how could they possibly have anything to do with him?

"Lord Su, what do you mean by this?"

Yang Kang's face immediately turned ugly. He had finally managed to win over these people, but now this uninvited guest had arrived.

"Lord Su, today's banquet was prepared by the Second Prince. Isn't it unfair of you to say that?"

Officials who had already sided with Yang Kang in the crowd began to stand up and criticize Su Yun.

Seeing those people jumping out to criticize him, Su Yun smiled faintly.

The reason he came to this restaurant was simply to prevent Yang Kang from developing his own power in Liangzhou. The Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince were locked in a fierce battle, and as the Crown Prince's confidant, he naturally did not want a third party to benefit from the situation.

"What are you saying? Shouldn't I be allowed to attend His Highness's banquet?"

After Su Yun finished speaking, the scene immediately erupted in an uproar. No one had expected that this guy's appearance would cause such a commotion.

Yang Kang's face immediately darkened.

"Lord Su, what are you saying? You're here today to eat, drink, and have fun, so please don't say anything out of line."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun sighed helplessly, a troubled expression on his face.

"Since Your Highness says so, I won't bother you any longer. You should eat and drink as you please, and don't take tonight's events to heart."

Su Yun smiled, turned around and prepared to leave. Anyway, he had only come here today to make an appearance and give these ignorant officials in Liangzhou a warning.

Now that our objective has been achieved, there is naturally no reason for us to stay here any longer.

It's easy to come, but difficult to leave.

Yang Kang was originally a hot-tempered man, but now that he had arrived in Liangzhou, he had to put on a show first.

But who knew this guy would be such a spoilsport?

As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, he slammed his hand on the table, looking furious.
