Chapter 237 Cyber Good Guy
The Han Hai Kingdom was located in the sea area bordering the Ming Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, and its territory was not vast.
It was roughly the size of a single prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire country consisted of three prefectural cities and more than a dozen county cities.
Its unique geographical location is the reason why it has been able to maintain its independence and not be annexed by the Ming and Sui dynasties.
Whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, if they wanted to take over the Han Hai Kingdom, it would inevitably arouse the other side's fear and dissatisfaction.
With neither side confident of defeating the other, the Han Hai Kingdom, caught in the middle, became the safest place.
To be honest, as long as these two "big daddies" don't start fighting, the Han Hai Kingdom is arguably the safest country!
As for outsiders wanting to attack? They should first consider whether they can pass the tests of the Iron-Blooded Ming Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty.
If you can clear both of these countries, then you don't need to fight the Han Hai Kingdom anymore; you can just surrender the whole country.
Sitting in the carriage, Shan Tianxie flipped through the intelligence reports of the Han Hai Kingdom, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, forming a handsome arc.
Interesting, so interesting...
It's so lively, so incredibly lively...
Originally, it was thought that the Third Prince of Hanhai Kingdom had a father-in-law who was a notorious bandit named Iron Shoes.
He must be considered a strong contender for the throne.
However, judging from this intelligence, it seems that the situation is not quite like that at all.
The third brother was simply unable to outmaneuver his eldest and second eldest brothers on the surface.
That's why he came up with this plan to steal the jade Buddha and thus overtake others.
The eldest prince of the Han Hai Kingdom not only garnered a group of veteran officials in the court to support him,
Outside, the Giant Whale Gang provides him with a continuous stream of manpower and resources.
He has both money and manpower, making him the most powerful contender for the throne.
The second prince is also no ordinary man; his mother comes from a noble family and has a group of old nobles supporting him, giving him considerable influence.
In comparison, the third son is the most pitiful. His mother, the Peacock Queen, is of commoner origin and has no power or influence. She relies entirely on her father-in-law, the Iron Shoe Thief.
Although she was favored by the old king because of her mother, the selection of a king cannot be accomplished by favor alone.
After all, the King of Hanhai was not some ruthless, absolute ruler like the founding emperors!
Looking at all this, Shan Tianxie secretly harbored the idea of supporting the third brother to take over.
There was no other reason; it was simply that the third son was an orphan and widow, powerless and easy to control.
As for the matter of just killing someone's father-in-law and daughter-in-law, you've already handed over the throne to me; can't you tell what's more important?
He didn't believe that the peacock prince would give up the throne of the Han Hai Kingdom for a woman.
After all, he's already the king, so surely he wouldn't lack women?
The only problem is, how do we prevent this kid from turning his back on us after he becomes king?
Just as Shan Tianxie was pondering this question, he suddenly heard Xia Xueyi's voice in his ear.
"Young Master, we have arrived at Whale City, and we are not far from the Vast Ocean Kingdom."
Huh? So fast.
Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow, his gaze following the car window outwards, then he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.
Whale City.
One of the three major prefectures of the Hanhai Kingdom, this city is located on the border with the Ming Dynasty.
There's a gang called the Giant Whale Gang that's based here, and they're considered the local tyrants.
Moreover, according to intelligence from the valley, this Giant Whale Gang seems to be the Crown Prince's front man.
This situation is really complicated. Don't underestimate the Han Hai Kingdom just because it's small. It's small but complete, and it has all kinds of ways to play.
Once you reach Whale City, it will only take a few hours to reach Vast Ocean City!
Dan Tianxie was no longer in a hurry and decided to find an inn to learn about the current situation in the Han Hai Kingdom before making any decisions.
Information is incredibly important; the saying "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle" is no empty phrase.
Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie spoke up.
"Let's find an inn to rest first. Sharpening the axe won't delay our woodcutting work, will it?"
"Yes, young master!"
After traveling for so long, everyone naturally had no questions and expressed their agreement.
Yuelai Inn.
In the end, Shan Tianxie and the others chose to rest at Yue Lai Inn, the largest chain hotel in the myriad realms.
Considering the hardships they had endured traveling and the fact that they hadn't eaten well, the group hadn't had a proper meal.
Dan Tianxie simply waved his hand and ordered the waiter to bring up all the good food and drinks, acting as if he had plenty of money.
Before long, the waiter had quickly filled the table with food and was about to leave when...
"and many more......"
Suddenly, Shan Tianxie called out to the waiter.
"Is there anything else, sir?"
The waiter looked at Shan Tianxie with a surprised expression.
Dan Tianxie smiled slightly, then took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and tossed it lightly.
The silver coin traced an arc in the air before landing steadily in the little boy's hands.
The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw this. He secretly weighed the weight of the food and smiled even more obsequiously, bowing and scraping as he spoke.
"Young master, please feel free to give your orders. If you wish to inquire about any information, my connections within Giant Whale City are quite extensive."
clever!
Dan Tianxie secretly praised him, saying that this was professionalism, knowing that there was no such thing as a free lunch. He then smiled and asked the waiter.
"Has anything major happened in Whale City recently?"
"event?"
The waiter scratched his head and thought for a long time. "No, there isn't. The Giant Whale Gang in the city cooperates with the government, so it's always been quite peaceful."
"What about Hanhai City? I'm planning to take my maid and steward there to see the sights."
Dan Tianxie pondered for a moment, then changed direction and continued to press for answers.
"Hanhai City?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter first looked around to see if anyone else was there, then lowered his voice and whispered.
"Sir, you must not go there recently. The old king is on his deathbed, and the three princes are fighting tooth and nail for the throne."
Seeing Shan Tianxie's nonchalant expression, the second brother also lost his temper.
I've decided to drop a bombshell; this young master in front of me needs to understand the seriousness of the matter!
"Just the day before yesterday, the Third Prince was assassinated and nearly killed! Now, the atmosphere in Hanhai City is extremely tense."
Rumors are circulating that the eldest prince was responsible. If you don't have anything else to do, it would be best to wait until the throne is secured before going.
"Ok?"
Dan Tianxie was taken aback upon hearing this. The Third Prince?
Isn't that the son-in-law of the Iron-Shoe Bandit? How come he's in such a miserable state now?
The Iron-Shoe Thief had barely breathed his last when someone was already eager to send him to see his father-in-law?
What kind of cyber-good guy is this!
"The Third Prince has been assassinated?"
"That's right. The old king was so angry about this that he couldn't get out of bed and made the Peacock Queen stay by his bedside every day."
It's estimated that the eldest prince will ascend the throne soon.
I'm afraid the old king is worried that his own daughter-in-law will be killed too!
