Chapter 309 The Crown Prince's Ambition
"I know!"
Murong Haoxuan said in a deep voice.
"It's good that you know this. This is an opportunity for you, and you must seize it. The future of Great Qin is definitely more than this; it will surely become an even more powerful force in the future..."
"Your future status in the Qin Dynasty will depend on how well you complete this mission..."
"Although your sister is the Emperor's consort, she must still avoid suspicion and cannot provide assistance to the Murong family at all times. We cannot help her, but we also cannot cause her trouble..."
Murong Bo spoke earnestly and patiently.
"I understand everything Father said. I will complete this mission flawlessly and will absolutely not let the Emperor down..."
Murong Haoxuan said with a firm look in his eyes.
If he has the backing of the behemoth that is Qin, and still can't take down a force that doesn't even have many Mahayana cultivators, then he's too useless.
With the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, even if they send just anyone, they can easily complete the mission.
However, since Ying Chen entrusted him with this task, it means that the other party intends to cultivate him.
This is an opportunity you absolutely cannot miss.
"Alright, go and prepare! This time, the family will fully support you and help you complete the mission..."
Murong Bo nodded and said.
Murong Haoxuan nodded and then immediately went to make preparations.
"Grandpa, can Xuan'er complete the Emperor's mission?"
Watching Murong Haoxuan's departing figure, Su Yulan said with a worried expression.
"Don't worry! He's my son, Murong Bo's son. Besides, with the strength of Qin, those forces wouldn't dare to resist. If he still can't complete the mission, then I'll pretend I never had this son..."
"Anyway, I'm still young. If I have to, I'll just create a new account!"
Murong Bo said irritably.
"What are you saying? How disrespectful to your elders! What if someone hears this?"
Upon hearing his words, Su Yulan's face immediately turned bright red, and she playfully slapped Murong Bo.
"So what if I heard it? What's wrong with me whispering sweet nothings to my wife...?"
Murong Bo said nonchalantly.
"Irregular old man!"
Su Yulan glanced at Murong Bo sideways, said charmingly, and then turned and left.
Seeing this, Murong Bo knew there was a chance. He hadn't been intimate with his wife for a long time, so he quickly followed after her.
..................
The border between the Xuanxing Domain and the Molan Domain.
At this time, most of the main forces of the Qin Dynasty were gathered here, including the legions under Meng Tian and his three generals.
Their commanders are currently not in the area, so they are temporarily under the command of their deputy generals.
With Huo Qubing's arrival, Han Xin, Chang Yuchun, and Yue Fei immediately came to his side.
They knew that Huo Qubing must have come with Ying Chen's orders.
"By order of the Emperor, the army shall immediately set off for the Mo Lan Domain to annihilate the three great demon dynasties of the Mo Lan Domain..."
Huo Qubing took out Ying Chen's imperial edict, and a projection of a golden dragon of fortune slowly appeared in the air, letting out a loud dragon roar.
"This humble general will obey His Majesty's command..."
Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, the three men respectfully responded. Then, they went to the front of their own army, drew their swords, pointed them in the direction of Mo Lan Domain, and gave the order to set off.
Xiao Jin followed behind Huo Qubing, looking at the countless troops below with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such a scene, and everything in front of him was so novel.
"Lord Lingyu, let's go too!"
At this moment, Huo Qubing came to Xiao Jin's side and spoke.
Xiao Jin's real name is Ying Lingyu. He is equivalent to royalty and is also the guardian beast of the Qin Dynasty, so he has an extremely high status in the Qin Dynasty.
Xiao Jin nodded and said, "Okay!"
This time, his purpose in joining the army was simply to devour more demonic consciousness. He wouldn't concern himself with other matters, but if he needed to intervene, he wouldn't remain indifferent.
However, the probability of that happening is very small!
The Qin army soon arrived within the territory of the Molan Domain. The strength of the army was all above the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and their marching speed was very fast.
The region of Molan is adjacent to the Great Qin Dynasty, which is ruled by the Mad Crocodile Dynasty.
At this time, the Mad Crocodile Dynasty was still in a state of confusion, with its frontline army completely wiped out and its own emperor's fate unknown. It was completely unaware of the Qin Dynasty's actions.
Inside the capital of the Mad Crocodile Empire, the only remaining royal patriarch in the Mahayana stage looked at the dozens of broken soul tablets before him, his eyes filled with terror.
These soul tablets, representing the high-ranking officials of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty who went to attack the Great Wei Dynasty, were all shattered at this moment.
Fortunately, the Soul Tablet of the Mad Crocodile Emperor is still lit up, which is the only good news!
At least their emperor is still alive; all they need to do is wait for him to return and take charge.
"Ancestor!"
At that moment, a young man from the Crocodile Clan ran in from outside.
His expression was flustered. As soon as he entered, he was slightly taken aback when he saw the shattered soul tablets scattered on the ground. Then, he looked at the soul tablet representing the Mad Crocodile Emperor, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
This young man is the Crown Prince of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty, Crocodile Lan. He was not in the Imperial Palace before, but was training outside. After learning that something had happened to the Dynasty, he immediately rushed back.
As the crown prince of the Crocodile Dynasty, he was the most promising candidate to inherit the throne, but all of this was contingent on the Crocodile Emperor's demise.
On his way back, he kept praying, hoping that the Mad Crocodile Emperor would also perish in this incident.
He has been the crown prince for nearly a thousand years, and he wants to take another step forward and become the emperor, who is above all others.
He no longer wanted to be the crown prince; who would be the crown prince for a thousand years?
Therefore, upon learning of the troubles in the imperial court and the unknown fate of his father, he immediately returned to the capital, hoping to obtain news of whether his father was still alive as soon as possible.
He would be willing to be the emperor, even if only for a day.
"The Crown Prince is back!"
The old ancestor glanced indifferently at the Crown Prince of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty, noticing the fleeting disappointment in his eyes.
However, he did not expose him, after all, the current Crocodile Dynasty did need someone to step forward and take charge of the overall situation, and Crocodile Lan, as the crown prince, was the best candidate.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is still unaware of the situation, so I urge you to step forward, take charge, and lead our Mad Crocodile Dynasty out of this predicament!"
The patriarch of the Mad Crocodile Emperor Dynasty stood up, bowed slightly to Crocodile Lan, and said.
Upon hearing his words, a hint of joy flashed across E Lan's face, but it quickly disappeared.
A troubled expression appeared on his face as he said, "Ancestor, isn't this inappropriate? After all, Father Emperor is still alive! If I were to ascend the throne now, wouldn't I be considered a traitor...?"
Although he said that, he was secretly overjoyed.
When he saw that the Crocodile Emperor's soul lamp was still there, he thought that his plan had failed, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Now that the Emperor’s whereabouts are unknown, the Crown Prince should first ascend the throne and take control of the army to stabilize the dynasty. If the Emperor returns later, the Crown Prince can then abdicate and return the throne to the Emperor…”
The old ancestor of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty advised.
"This... alright! For the sake of the imperial dynasty, I'm willing to be this disrespectful person..."
E Lan, with an air of righteous indignation, fabricated a plausible reason for himself.
