Chapter 357 The Taoist Priests of Maoshan Gather at Maoshan!
The seventy-first prince bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Uncle Wang, greetings, Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Cixi gave a soft snort, but she couldn't afford to make a scene again.
After all, he's just a child.
Minister Wu also hurriedly bowed.
"Your Majesty, Holy Peace."
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Indeed, Minister Wu, I was right about you." The prince nodded.
This Minister Wu has been with him since he was a child.
So loyal!
Minister Wu was flattered and nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, the border prince patted the seventy-first prince on the shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, nephew, you look even more energetic."
He remembered that when he first saw him and the group of zombies a few days ago, he was so frightened that he turned pale.
The seventy-first prince smiled bitterly to himself.
He actually wanted to leave, but the capital was full of zombies, and he couldn't get out.
He would be bitten to death by zombies if he went outside, so he had no way to escape.
.........................
The seventy-first prince raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a bright smile, and replied, "It's all thanks to Uncle's concern. I have been practicing martial arts day and night, hoping to one day be as brave and fearless as Uncle."
The frontier prince laughed heartily, his voice booming like a bell: "Haha, good nephew, you truly have lofty ambitions!"
At this moment, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world, and had long forgotten his unpleasantness with Empress Dowager Cixi.
Empress Dowager Cixi watched coldly from the sidelines. Although she was still somewhat displeased, her expression gradually softened when she saw that the seventy-first prince was handsome, clever, and well-mannered.
“Uncle, I want to return to the frontier. After all, that’s where our roots are,” the Seventy-First Prince said softly.
The main problem was that there were hideous zombies everywhere, and he was really scared.
Upon hearing this, the prince's smile froze instantly.
How could he bear to let the seventy-first prince leave, especially in this perilous capital city?
His nephew faces numerous difficulties even if he wants to leave.
Unless he gives the green light!
“Nephew, although the capital is fraught with danger, your uncle will definitely protect you. It’s far too perilous outside,” the border prince said, shaking his head repeatedly.
The seventy-first prince had not yet spoken.
Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows slightly, a barely perceptible smile flashing in her eyes: "Your Highness is mistaken. Your throne also needs someone to inherit it, doesn't it? It's good that he goes back. The border regions always need someone to manage them. Besides, I also intend for you to inherit the throne. It's good that you go back sooner to familiarize yourself with the affairs and prepare for the future."
Empress Dowager Cixi said these last words to the seventy-first prince.
The seventy-first prince was shocked; he never expected that Empress Dowager Cixi would have such a plan.
He looked at Uncle Wang, his eyes filled with longing. He yearned for advancement!
The Qing Dynasty is now teetering on the brink of collapse.
He wanted to lead the remaining Eight Banners to once again gallop across the battlefield and conquer the world!
Because the future of the Qing Dynasty now rests heavily on his shoulders!
The prince on the frontier frowned, knowing full well that once Empress Dowager Cixi made up her mind, it would be difficult to change it.
............................
"Your Majesty, my nephew is still young. Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand dismissively: "Your Highness need not say more, my mind is made up."
The prince on the frontier gritted his teeth and whispered to the seventy-first prince, "Nephew, do you really want to leave?"
The seventy-first prince's face was resolute, his eyes piercing: "Yes, Uncle!"
The border prince had no choice but to nod: "Very well, very well, I will send you out of the capital. Go back and manage your manor well."
"Yes, Uncle!" the seventy-first prince said happily.
He then followed Vice Minister Wu and withdrew.
Minister Wu was also pleased.
The prince sighed as he watched them leave.
And the other side.
Maoshan.
At this moment, Qianhe had arrived at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.
Most of the Maoshan Taoist priests who were away have returned to Maoshan.
Because something very important is happening in Maoshan today!
That means Shi Jian is dead, and the future leader of the sect is lost.
As dawn broke, at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, a group of Taoist priests dressed in robes were making their way up the mountain.
They looked solemn and walked with steady steps.
Their disciples all walked solemnly on the road to Maoshan.
“Master, it seems many of our senior brothers and uncles already know about this!” Abei said at this moment.
The fact that so many Taoist priests from Maoshan came to Maoshan indicates that something is not simple.
"Yeah, I definitely know, but it's okay." Chizuru waved her hand, looking indifferent.
Upon arriving here, many Taoist priests from Maoshan were chatting away.
........................
Qianhe ignored what the Taoist priests were saying.
Instead, they led people from all directions into the Maoshan sect.
With Chizuru's arrival, the surroundings immediately quieted down.
Qianhe ignored him and walked straight into the Maoshan Hall.
At this moment, all the elders are gathered in the main hall of Maoshan!
"Lin Fengjiao, Shi Jian died in your mortuary, and Si Mu and Zhong Fabai are still here. Is this related to you?"
Sect Leader Mao Jian coldly stared at Lin Fengjiao.
Si Mu opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lin Fengjiao spoke first.
