Great Creator

Chapter 119: Past Promise (12)

The prince died under the sword of an assassin, but what is puzzling is that the assassin was originally locked in a death row, a prisoner who was going to be executed in autumn, and there was no way he could escape. However, the prison room where the assassin was imprisoned that day was inexplicably reduced by half, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.

After the assassin woke up, he refused to admit that he had killed the prince, but his knife was stuck in the prince's head, and the prince was indeed pierced through the head by the knife and died. So in the end it was still convicted of assassination.

The fifth prince's death was said to be a sudden illness. In fact, only a few people knew that his death was very disgraceful. He died in the room of a popular singer, who was scared to death at that time.

Afterwards, the Yaguo trial officials arrested the singing girl and tortured her severely, but they still couldn't ask any questions, so they could only let it go.

After the death of the fifth prince, more than a dozen of his wives and concubines quarreled with each other and wanted to divide up the family property.

As a result, although there are many doubts, the two most powerful heirs to the throne of Ya Kingdom are both dead.

The second prince and the eighth prince became the new candidates.

The DPRK and China soon split into two camps again, supporting each other's favored heirs.

The eight princes are extremely young, so they are more popular with powerful people, because they are easy to control at a young age.

After all, the second prince is already over 30 years old, and he has never participated in the competition for the throne before, because he knows that his talents are mediocre, and he can't compete with the eldest brother or the fifth younger brother. It's better to keep a low profile and protect yourself.

As a result, because of the death of the boss and the fifth child, he was suddenly pushed to the stage.

The same is true for the Eighth Prince. Although he is young, he has to be in constant contact with people from various forces.

Royal family disputes are full of crises, and they may become losers or even die at any time.

Therefore, Yan Geng had to learn to mature earlier, just to get a chance.

As an IQ of 115 who has been appraised by the Earth Boundary Technology, currently the top 1% of the human race, Yan Geng is indeed a very smart child. Under the pressure of survival, he begged his father to hire the best teacher for him to learn all kinds of knowledge.

Although because of his status, he couldn't go out of Miyagi or go to the academy to study, he still tried his best to find many history books, from which he learned a lot of experience and lessons about governing the country and fighting for power.

In order not to attract attention, Yan Geng subconsciously pretended to be ignorant and ignorant in front of everyone, making people lose their vigilance against him.

Even when his mother scolded him, he showed a submissive look, submissive, but comforted his mother.

After his behavior was seen by Lao Yawang, he greatly appreciated it, and even the treatment of his mother was much better.

Yangeng changes himself little by little, and also changes the people around him.

When he was thirteen years old, he began to try to cultivate cronies, win over influence, and even let people raise many powerful slaves outside for future use.

As for the second prince, as he is getting older and older, he is too eager for quick success and quick success, and acts impatiently, but gradually he does not like the old Yawang.

In the end, in the 97th year after the founding of Yaguo, the second prince was stunned and sent people to attack the eighth brother.

Fortunately, Yan Geng had guards with high martial arts skills, who blocked the assassination.

And this touched the back of the old Yawang, after all, his favorite eldest son died in the assassination.

The second prince was grounded, and has since lost the qualification to compete for the throne.

There was a lot of discussion about this matter in the ruling and opposition parties, and some people raised many doubts, and the second prince even complained every day.

However, Yan Geng did it seamlessly and was not worried about being discovered.

In the 99th year, the old Yawang finally passed the throne to Yan Geng. At this time, Yan Geng was just 25 years old, and he was in his prime.

As the king of Ya, Yan Geng, through his own continuous efforts and experienced brutal factional struggles, his current temperament and appearance are no longer what they used to be.

He has a handsome face, he is not angry and arrogant, and he is really thoughtful in his actions, employs people well, and has the style of a real king.

When he really took over the throne and officially ascended the throne, everyone couldn't help but admire him.

On the day of ascension to the throne, the new King Ya sat on the throne, but his eyes did not stay on the kneeling subordinates below.

He just looked into the distance, looking at the clear blue sky through the hollow window lattice above the palace.

It was already a month after the enthronement was done.

At this time, Yan Geng was free to come to the woods where he used to come when he was a child.

Under his orders, the arrangement in the woods has remained the same for more than ten years, waiting for the return of that person.

However, even though he ascended to the throne and became the most supreme king among the human race, he did not wait for that person.

Looking at the familiar arrangement, Yan Geng seemed to have returned to his childhood again.

Back then, he often stayed alone in this dimly lit grove where few people came, sitting on a stone bench in a daze.

Yan Geng was actually a very poor child when he was a child.

As the youngest child of King Ya, and the son of an unfavored and lowly concubine, almost no one really loved him except his father. Anyway, because of his young age and low status, he is not qualified to inherit the throne at all. In the future, he would be nothing more than an outgoing prince at best. Among the four princes, he is the least promising.

Even his mother, when she saw him, complained and even hugged him stingily. From the moment he was born, he was thrown to nurses and slave girls.

"Why are not you talking?"

"Why are you so unlikable?"

"It's all your fault!"

The people around him said all these things to him, and gradually, he got used to it.

Only when his father visits him occasionally can he feel a little warmth, and then the people around him will treat him a little bit better. But he is not the child that the king cares about the most, he is just pitied because of his young age.

Until that day comes.

Those days spent with the strange thief often appeared in his dreams later.

He always remembered that agreement, sister Phantom Thief promised to come back.

Two years, three years, ... a full 16 years have passed. He has no one waiting for him.

He looked into the depths of the woods, hoping that at the next moment, the figure that he would never forget would jump out directly, and then speak to him the words that had been engraved deep in his heart:

"You are so cute, why don't you come with me! This monster thief, I want to take you to a bigger and more beautiful world to play, so that you don't have to stay alone in this deserted grove all the time. People are in a daze, okay?"

"OK."

"Okay! Let me name you Xiaowangwang, Xiaowangwang, let's go together!"

"Okay!" Xiaowangwang happily replied in a childish voice.

"Hehe... Okay, I was really innocent back then..."

Yan Geng chanted reminiscently.

However, his mood could not return to that innocent moment.

In order to survive, he had already dyed his heart black. But even so, he still left a corner of his childhood in the corner of his heart, just to wait for that person's return.

He occasionally reveals the innocence of the past, of course, only in this woods, only when he misses the past.

Yan Geng stayed in the woods for a long time, then closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had already calmed down his mood, and regained the state of being the king of the cliff country without showing any emotions.

Yan Geng left the woods expressionlessly. Now, this place is already a restricted area, and no one is qualified to enter except himself.
