Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1603: Chapter 369: Entering the Ruins, Crisis Descends

”Prince Ming has arrived!”

With that shout, everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance, and soon they saw the Little Ming King approaching with his hundred-strong Guard Team.

They came hurriedly, with the wind at their feet!

”Why have they come?”

Watching the Little Ming King approach, Chen Long, standing beside Du Zundao, squinted and spoke. From his tone, it was evident that he lacked even the basic respect for the Little Ming King.

And this tone did not provoke any displeasure among those around, showing that they were all of the same ilk.

This also showed the current state of the Zoroastrian Sect, with the prince having almost no authority in their eyes.

It’s inevitable; it’s because Han Lin’er is too young, with a young ruler and strong ministers, just like this.

Historically, why did so many Emperors have to settle scores with the old allies who helped them conquer the world before they died? For instance, in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang killed Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Lan Yu and Fu Youde, all for the same reason.

Because they all felt that their successors could not control these old allies with great achievements.

And the situation in the Ming Sect is basically the same as what these dynasties faced. With strong ministers and a weak ruler, the result is that these old ministers harbored disloyal thoughts and usurped the power of the young master.

This is reality. If you don’t believe it, if Han Shantong were still alive, see if these people still dare to treat the Little Ming King as they do today. Each one would be a good uncle or a benevolent elder. It is only because Han Shantong died in battle that these people had the opportunity to bully the young master.

Mr. Guan glanced at the situation here and couldn’t help but shake his head. The faces of these people were becoming increasingly repugnant.

Thinking of this, he saw Du Zundao slowly come to Mr. Guan’s side and whisper, ”Did you have them come?”

Mr. Guan shook his head and said, ”I do not have the habit of creating additional troubles.”

Hearing this, Du Zundao asked in bewilderment, ”I have already ordered information to be blocked from him. How can he possibly know about the situation here?”

Du Zundao looked at Mr. Guan in doubt, suspecting that it was Mr. Guan who provided the information.

Mr. Guan did not explain, instead, he looked back at him, ”Prince Ming has arrived, won’t you, Dharma King Du, go to greet him?”

Du Zundao looked at Mr. Guan, then with a wave of his black cloak, slowly walked towards the Little Ming King, and Mr. Guan hesitated slightly before also walking towards the Little Ming King.

”Greetings to Prince Ming.”

Du Zundao and Mr. Guan saluted. Although the Little Ming King had no authority now, Mr. Guan and Du Zundao needed to maintain appearances.

The Little Ming King looked at Du Zundao and Mr. Guan and said, ”You two uncles need not be so formal.”

At this time, Du Zundao looked at the Little Ming King and said, ”What brings Prince Ming here?”

This statement was clearly disrespectful. If it were in Han Shantong’s time, daring to speak to Prince Ming like this would surely have resulted in punishment.

But with the Little Ming King now, no one felt there was anything inappropriate. Although many people didn’t want to admit it, they had to acknowledge that the Little Ming King was now more of a puppet.

The Little Ming King then looked at Du Zundao and said, ”Uncle Du, can’t I come see you two uncles without a reason? Besides, I heard that you two uncles plan to enter the Ruins to seek our cult’s grand ceremony, the Qiankun Great Method. As a Prince Ming, how can I ignore such matters?”

Upon hearing these words, Du Zundao narrowed his eyes at the Little Ming King and said, ”Prince Ming, the Ruins are very dangerous. We did not inform you for your good. There’s a saying, ’The son of a thousand gold, should not sit under the hall.’ Prince Ming, as such a figure, should concern himself with the lives of the millions of our Zoroastrian Sect’s Cult Members from high above the temple, how can you be involved in such perilous places?”

Upon hearing this, the Little Ming King looked at Du Zundao and said, ”Uncle Du really cares for my well-being, but how can I, as a descendant of the Ming King, be afraid of death and achieve nothing?”

Du Zundao looked at the Little Ming King and said, ”So Prince Ming also wishes to enter the Ruins and take risks?”

The Little Ming King said, ”No, no, Uncle Du, you misunderstood. I know Uncle Du must have my best interests at heart; how can I not recognize Uncle Du’s good intentions?”

Du Zundao looked at the Little Ming King with some surprise, and Mr. Guan also looked at the Little Ming King with curiosity. They did not expect the Little Ming King to have the idea to hide his capabilities and intentions, which was a complete departure from the impulsive Little Ming King of the past. Has the Little Ming King grown up?

Seeing the Little Ming King’s response, Du Zundao felt relieved. As long as he does not enter the Ruins, the threat to him is not great. Of course, even if he did enter the Ruins, the threat to him would not be significant.

If the Little Ming King turned out to be a threat to his obtaining the Qiankun Great Method, he would not mind eliminating the Little Ming King.

Of course, this would only be under a situation of absolute necessity. The Little Ming King should not be killed easily, as such actions bear significant consequences and might even lead to considerable loss, or possibly incite rebellion.

However, if pushed to that point, he would certainly eliminate the Little Ming King without mercy. He admired Han Shantong greatly, but it was admiration for Han Shantong’s strength, not out of any so-called loyalty to the Han family.

But now that the Little Ming King voluntarily expressed his intention not to participate, he was pleased about it. This way, his plan would not be disrupted. As long as the plan is not disrupted, he does not mind giving the Little Ming King some face.

Du Zundao, contemplating this, looked at the Little Ming King and said, ”Actually, Your Highness Prince Ming, I was the one who sent people to inform you about the Ruins’ upheaval. Perhaps they didn’t reach you?”

Seeing Du Zundao attempting to gloss over the situation, the Little Ming King decided not to press the issue. After all, his purpose today was not to break with Du Zundao.

The Little Ming King waved his hand and said, ”Well, it’s inevitable that subordinates might mishandle matters. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.”
