Chapter 7777
7777 Chapter 7775-entering the capital
She was Sima Yun Fei’s wife, Chen Meng Jin. Her words would subconsciously lean towards Sima Yun Fei.
In fact, the reason why the old king did not appoint a Crown Prince early was not because Sima Yunfei and Sima Yunqi were on par, but because Sima Yunqi was more outstanding.
However, since ancient times, it had always been to appoint an elder. Under the premise that Sima Yun Fei did not make any major mistakes, although he was not as good as Sima Yun Qi, the old Junwang could not directly abolish the elder and appoint the younger.
Therefore, the matter of appointing a Crown Prince had been delayed until now. When it was almost impossible to delay any longer, he finally began to consider it.
“The old Junwang’s health is getting worse and worse. He probably doesn’t have much time left! Between Sir system and second brother, he had to make a choice! It’s just that first master and second master aren’t considered young anymore. Whether or not they can become crown princes, the most important thing is to see the competition between the next generation!”
“Originally, with Zhongxiao around, the eldest master’s victory was already in the palm of his hand. Now, Sima Zhongda has appeared, and his performance is also quite outstanding. It is said that he is also a genius in the sword spring sect. This matter is quite troublesome!”
Chen Mengjin said as she turned around. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the servant girl who had come to report.”You said last time that little bastard had the strength of a golden core stage cultivator, right?”
“Madam, he is at the Golden core stage, and he is at the perfect stage! According to the news from the Feng family, he has the ability to challenge those of a higher level!”
At this point, the maidservant carefully raised her head and sneaked a glance, then quickly added,””Even so, he can’t compare to young master! In front of young master, he’s just a weakling!”
“That’s natural! Zhong Xiao is a hundred times stronger than him!”
Chen Mengjin snorted. Her mood would be better when she mentioned her son, Sima Zhongxiao,””However, that little bastard’s existence is an unstable factor! I won’t allow the slightest possibility of an accident to happen! We can’t be careless about this. Arrange for someone else to deal with that little bastard!”
“This time, I must kill him! If we can get rid of the second brother and his wife, that would be the best!”
Before he could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man with a short beard and a dignified appearance walked in.
It was the owner of this mansion, the first young master of the Sima clan, Sima Yun Fei.
“Mengjin, you better know your place. Don’t always think about causing trouble!”
Sima Yun Fei looked at the mess on the ground and frowned,””It’s not a big problem for you to send some people out to do things outside the capital, but if they return to the capital, you still won’t stop. Do you really think that father’s eyes are dim with age? The entire capital is filled with Royal father’s eyes and ears. Perhaps there are some in our residence!”
“So what? Didn’t father refuse to appoint a Crown Prince early because he hoped that you and second brother could fight for a clear victory?”
Chen Mengjin flicked her sleeves, turned around and sat down.””Besides, if I don’t make a move, do you think you can fight for second place with your current strength? If you don’t want to be the Crown Prince, it’s fine! But I can’t let Zhongxiao lower his head to that little bastard from second brother’s family!”
“Enough! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Sima Yunfei shouted in a low voice and waved his hand,””All of you, leave!”
The maidservants bowed their heads in acknowledgment as if they had been granted Amnesty and hurriedly filed out.
They didn’t dare to listen to the couple’s argument.
Who knew if he would be caught in the crossfire in the end? he might even be casually slapped to death!
It would be best if they could leave quickly!
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? If you don’t want to get involved in this matter, then I’ll do it! Since we failed last night, they won’t be able to return to the capital so quickly. I can still send someone to intercept them!”
Chen Mengjin snorted, and her eyes were murderous.””This time, I’m going to go all out. I don’t believe I can’t kill second brother’s family! It’s rare for them to go out without bringing anyone with them. If we miss this chance, when will we have another chance like this?”
“Don’t be naive! You’ve already received the news of failure, so how could second brother’s men not have received the news of being attacked?”
Sima Yunfei shook his head. This wife of his was smart, but she wasn’t very careful with her thoughts,””When the second brother and his wife left the capital, his subordinates had already chased after them. It was only because they didn’t know the second brother’s destination that they were unable to catch up.”
“If I’m not wrong, they should have already met up with the second brother and his wife. Even if you send more people, they won’t pose a fatal threat to them, unless you dare to use a large number of troops to encircle and annihilate them!”
“So what if you can mobilize the Army? Second brother’s power is not below ours. Do you want to start a war and split Hongshang Commandery? If that’s the case, the surrounding enemy nations will probably wake up laughing from their dreams!”
Sima Yunfei sighed softly. How could his second brother be an ordinary person? If he could be killed so easily, would he have waited until now?
“They weren’t prepared for the previous assassination attempt, so there’s still a chance of success. If there’s another one, it won’t be better than the last one! Besides, you didn’t leave any clues before, so if you mobilize more people, you might give yourself away. Wouldn’t it be bad if they catch some clues and follow it to find you?”
Chen Mengjin stopped talking.
Just as Sima Yun Fei had said, if they were caught with evidence, it would be hard to say what would happen!
The most direct impact would probably be that Sima Yun Fei would completely withdraw from the battle for the Crown Prince!
After a short while, Chen Mengjin said in a low voice,””Second brother’s men … Have they really left?”
Sima Yunfei didn’t answer this question, but it was the truth.
While the couple was talking, Sima Yun happened to run into his subordinates who were looking for him.
With the flying magical beasts under his command, there was no need for him to go to the bigger cities.
Leaving a few people to settle the compensation and rewards for Monday, si Ma Yun brought Lin Yi and the others onto the flying beast and flew towards the imperial capital of Hongshang County!
This time, the journey was smooth, and they did not encounter any more danger.
At sunset, the group of people landed outside the city gate of the king’s city.
“Greetings to the second Prince, second Princess Consort, and young prince!”
At the city gate, two people in the uniform of the palace guards quickly stepped forward and bowed. Then one of them continued to speak,””By the king’s order, this official is here to welcome the second Prince, second Princess Consort, and the young prince into the palace to pay his respects to the king!”
“Father already knows that we’ve found Zhong da! Hahaha, that’s good. Zhong da, come with us to the palace to see your grandfather Wang!”
Sima Yunqi was in a good mood. With such a genius son, he wanted to let the whole world see him!
His father, the head of the Sima clan and the Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery, was the most important one!
“Zhongda, your grandfather Wang has been missing you all these years. Your grandfather Wang has never given up on looking for you. The entire Hongshang Commandery has been turned over!”
Su Ling held Lin Yi’s hand and introduced him in a small voice, “Don’t be nervous. Although your grandfather Wang is a regional King, he has a gentle and generous personality. He will definitely like you, and you will definitely like him!”
