The sanctuary is powerful, but there is a limit to its strength. It is impossible to arrange strong men to garrison all the cities.
For a small city like Zhanshan City, of course, the Holy Church would not arrange any decent strong men to garrison it, so it is understandable to keep a low profile.
In this way, there is almost no one who can compete with him in this auction.
This relieved him a lot.
"By the way, go and check the situation of the Seventh Prince." Lin Mo reminded Qing Yunchang, and told Bo Yan.
"Seventh Prince!" Yan Bo didn't know that Qing Yunchang had come to Zhanshan City.
Lin Mo explained: "He came to Zhanshan City with us, and we met just now. I think he is a bit interesting."
"This old slave understands." Yan Bo said.
Chapter 1 Eighty
At night, in a gorgeous mansion.
Qing Yunchang sat in front of the carved sandalwood table, resting his chin on his hands, staring at the dancing candlelight, dazed.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, you should rest."
A gentle voice resounded faintly in the room.
Chang Lao, dressed in plain robes, looked at Qing Yunchang's back with a benevolent face.
"Chang Lao, do you think I can get help from that adult?" Qing Yunchang seemed to be talking to himself.
Chang Lao paused, sighed slightly, and said, "I already know where that lord is staying. If His Highness is interested, you can visit him tomorrow."
"Visit!" Qing Yunchang hesitated, "What if the lord doesn't want to see me?"
"No, there is no loss to His Highness. If Your Excellency is willing to see His Highness, then His Highness has half the chance. Your Highness should know how to choose." Chang Lao said.
"You are right, no matter how small the chance is, I will go." Qing Yunchang also understands this truth, but he is a little worried about gains and losses.
"Hey, I hope that lord can help me, otherwise I..." Qing Yunchang looked at the dark night outside the window with a gloomy expression.
Knowing the distress in his heart, Chang Lao comforted him lightly: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Highness is already in Zhanshan City now, I believe the other Highnesses won't embarrass His Highness."
Qing Yunchang shook his head and did not speak again.
He came to Zhanshan City this time not to play, but to take refuge.
Now King Qingwu is seriously ill, and he is about to die. The princes in the king's city are fighting for the throne.
As the seventh prince, he should also be a part of the struggle for the throne.
It's a pity that his mother died early, and the power of his mother's family has declined seriously over the years. In addition, he is still young, and he has not had time to establish his own foundation in the royal city.
Since he doesn't have any supporters behind him, he has completely lost his qualifications to compete for the throne, and even his life is in danger.
In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to leave Wangcheng and hide in the remote Zhanshan City.
But even so, he couldn't be sure if his brothers were willing to let him go.
He asked Lin Mo for help not to fight for the throne, but to save his life.
At this time, only the Earth King Realm can ensure his life without any worries.
It's a pity that the Qingwu Kingdom only has seven kings besides the holy hall and the two major associations, and these seven either live in seclusion and don't care about world affairs, or travel around the world without knowing where to go. Only three are in the high hall, but they all have their own supporters .
Otherwise, he wouldn't pin his hopes on Lin Mo, whom he only met once.
After all, Lin Mo is the strongest Earth King Realm closest to him.
The lights flickered, and the room was colorful and fluctuating.
Qing Yunchang fell into a daze again, his brows were full of worry and helplessness.
"Seventh Prince!"
In the guest room, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.
He just arranged for Uncle Yan to investigate yesterday, but he didn't expect the other party to come to his door today.
Looking at the slightly reserved prince in front of him, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up.
"Seventh Prince, please sit down, Xiaoman pours tea."
"Thank you, my lord!" Qing Yunchang sat gently opposite Lin Mo, and said respectfully, "My lord, please call me Yunchang."
Lin Mo smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and did not speak.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qing Yunchang felt tormented in his heart, like sitting on a needle cushion.
What he is most afraid of is that Lin Mo will ignore him and have no interest in his affairs.
After a long time, Qing Yunchang finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and saluted Lin Mo again, and said, "My lord, please save Yunchang's life."
"Help! You are the seventh prince, why do you need me to help you?" Lin Mo asked suspiciously.
"I" Qing Yunchang didn't know where to start.
And at this moment, Uncle Yan walked into the room.
"Young master!" Yan Bo said softly.
While speaking, he glanced at Qing Yunchang and Chang Lao.
Lin Mo asked, "What's the matter?"
"Young master asked the old slave to investigate the matter." Yan Bo replied.
Lin Mo couldn't help laughing, and said, "Uncle Yan, tell me about the situation in Qingwu King City."
"Yes!" Since Lin Morang said, Bo Yan said directly, regardless of the presence of outsiders, "King Qingwu is in critical condition. According to the registrar of Wangcheng Holy Church, King Qingwu probably won't live within a month. So now The most concerned thing in Wangcheng is which prince will become the new Qingwu King."
"The battle for the throne! It's interesting." Lin Mo smiled and raised his hand to signal Bo Yan to continue.
"Among the many princes in the royal city, three princes are the most promising to become the new king. They are the eldest prince supported by the Lan family of Blue Lake City, the second prince supported by the dean of Qingwu Academy Shu Weishan, and the general's mansion. The four princes who support them. All three have the support of powerful people in the land king realm, and the forces behind them are almost the same." Yan Bo said based on the information he collected.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, but thought about it in his heart.
Behind the eldest prince is the family power represented by the Lan family, behind the second prince is the academic faction, and behind the fourth prince is the military power.
These three major forces can be said to have taken over [-]% of Qingwu Kingdom's strength, and it is no wonder that other princes have lost their qualifications to compete.
However, the three major forces don't count who the throne of King Qingwu will eventually fall on.
There are only two people who really count, namely the current King Qingwu and the head of the temple.
King Qingwu has the right to decide the successor, as long as he decides which prince to inherit, even the Holy Church cannot stop it.
This is the rule set by the church.
But if King Qingwu did not decide on an heir, then the Holy Church has the right to choose a suitable successor from among the princes.
However, both King Qingwu and the Holy Hall have to consider the balance and the stability of the Qingwu Kingdom, so what these three princes are really fighting for is the power in their hands.
Power is weight, as long as there are enough weights, they can influence the decisions of King Qingwu and the temple.
What Lin Mo thought about was what benefits he could gain in this battle.
No profit can not afford to be early.
It's no good, Lin Mo won't bother to get involved in these things.
Now that the construction of Equality City has begun, dealing with the Qingwu Kingdom will definitely be indispensable in the future, so he has some ideas about laying out the Qingwu Kingdom in advance.
It's just that he is an outsider after all, and it is almost impossible to directly reach into the Qingwu King City.
"Seventh Prince, which of your three elder brothers do you think has a better chance of winning?" Lin Mo asked suddenly.
Qing Yunchang was shocked, and quickly said: "Don't dare to lie to your lord, I don't know much about the strength behind the three brothers, it's really hard to speculate who has a better chance of winning."
"Then who do you think is more suitable to be the new King Qingwu?" Lin Mo asked again.
Now Qing Yunchang hesitated, he didn't know why Lin Mo asked this, and he didn't know what Lin Mo's purpose was, but he could only bite the bullet and said: "I think the second brother is the most suitable."
"Why?" Lin Mo asked thoughtfully.
"Because third brother has the mildest temperament." Qing Yunchang bowed his head.
Lin Mo shook his head, he can be gentler, but being too gentle as a king is not a good thing.
Chapter 181 Tailing Auction
Pick up the teacup and take a sip of the rich tea fragrance.
After several sips, Lin Mo said again: "How about I make a deal with the Seventh Prince?"
"Uh! I don't know what kind of deal your lord wants to make?" Qing Yunchang looked at Lin Mo in surprise.
Although he is a prince, he really doesn't have many things in his hands. I don't know what Lin Mo can fancy in him.
Lin Mo showed a smile and said, "I will protect your life without any worries. You will be my agent in the Qingwu Kingdom and do things for me."
Qing Yunchang was taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help looking at Chang Lao who was behind him.
At this moment, he was confused and couldn't figure out Lin Mo's intention at all, and of course he didn't know whether he should agree to Lin Mo.
Chang Lao, who had been standing behind him, nodded at him.
Chang Lao's mind is very simple, no matter what Lin Mo's purpose is, as long as Qing Yunchang can be kept safe, it is worth trading.
Can Lin Mo still overthrow the Qingwu Kingdom?
"The boy is willing to obey the arrangement of the adults." Qing Yunchang said so.
Lin Mo nodded with a smile, and glanced at him appreciatively.
Although Qing Yunchang is young and does not have much ability, but fortunately his IQ is still online, and he will not be arrogant because of his status as a prince.
If you don't have the ability and strength to develop slowly, but if you don't have the brain, then it's not worth the trouble.
"It's not easy to be my agent, can you do it well?"
Qing Yunchang quickly saluted and said: "I will definitely work hard to do things for you."
"Okay, then I will give you one thing. Tomorrow night, you will help me take pictures of the ten water element stones at the Tailing Auction. How about it?" Lin Mo said.
"This!" Qing Yunchang's eyes flashed, his face showed bitterness, and he said: "My lord, I'm too shy to do it."
He knew the value of water element stones, he was just a prince, he couldn't afford even one, let alone ten.
"Haha" Lin Mo laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, I don't need your money yet, Bo Yan will follow you when the time comes, and Bo Yan will sit down to pay the money, and you just took the Shui Yuan Stone from many forces."
In fact, it is not difficult for Lin Mo to obtain the water element stone. As long as he shows his cultivation at the auction, I believe those forces will definitely give in.
After all, few people are willing to challenge the majesty of the Earth King Realm.
This is his test for Qing Yunchang, and it is also an opportunity for Qing Yunchang to show his prestige.
The result depends on how Qing Yunchang makes use of this opportunity.
"The boy understands, and he will definitely live up to your expectations." Qing Yunchang said.
The next evening.
Qing Yunchang walked out of the mansion prepared for him in Zhanshan City in good spirits.
With Lin Mo's guarantee, his life is safe, his hanging heart can finally be relieved, and the look on his face has improved a lot.
"Yunchang greets Mr. Yan." Qing Yunchang said hastily when he saw Uncle Yan standing at the door.
Uncle Yan nodded slightly, and said, "My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Yan. I'm just the young master's servant. You don't have to call me sir."
"Don't dare, the boy will need Mr. Yan to take care of him in the future." Qing Yunchang still said respectfully.
Yan Bo didn't bother to argue with him, so he said directly, "Let's go."
"Brother Yan, please." At this moment, Elder Chang stepped forward and said.
The three of them got into the carriage, thinking of going to the Tailing Auction House.
On the carriage, Qing Yunchang couldn't help but asked Yan Bo: "Mr. Yan, I heard you call my lord the young master. I don't know how old your lord is this year?"
This question has been lingering in his mind.
A smile appeared on Yan Bo's face, and he said, "The young master is not yet 22 years old."
"What!" Qing Yunchang wondered if he heard it wrong.
