Doomsday Code

Chapter 365 Revealed

After the eldest prince and others caught their breath, they looked at Moduonik and others who were walking towards them.

The first person he saw was Huidun, who was dressed neatly beside Moduonik. In his opinion, the reason why Huidun was not as embarrassed as them was that he must have received help from Moduonik.

Because they had just walked along the way very carefully and had encountered so much danger, he didn't believe that Huidun would be safe and sound.

Although they looked very embarrassed, the eldest prince and others were well prepared for this trip.

So don’t be fooled by their disheveled appearance. In fact, if they tidy themselves up a little, it will be as if nothing happened.

But when he wanted to puff out his chest and act like a great prince, Xiao Dun came over at an inopportune time.

"Your Highness, the tents have been set up, and patrols and other matters have been arranged."

It was then that the eldest prince and the others realized that there seemed to be too many people here.

And looking at those patrol teams wearing armor and holding weapons, aren’t they the knights guarding Wisdom Shield?

This time, the eldest prince and his men were really shocked.

The fact that Huidun didn't look at all embarrassed could be attributed to Modonik's protection, but it didn't make sense with these guards.

Although they couldn't figure it out, the eldest prince and his companions did not show any sign of losing their composure. He and the second and fifth princes beside him first greeted Mo Duonik, and then looked at Huidun and said:

"You are stronger than before. It seems that you have been trained a lot in the territory in the past few years."

The eldest prince looked at Huidun and spoke in the tone of an elder brother.

Although Huidun no longer had any brotherly feelings for his brothers, he still had to maintain some on the surface.

"That's right, my brother, when I came here, my territory was very poor, and my brothers didn't know how to support me, so I can only work hard on my own.

Fortunately, I, your younger brother, have worked hard and made the territory flourish in a few years. Although it cannot be called a land of abundance, it can be considered a well-off city. "

Listening to Huidun talking about his contribution to the governance of the territory, the eldest prince felt as if a knife was cutting his heart.

"Oh, really? I heard that many merchants are now boycotting your exchange, saying that your exchange is forcing people to buy and sell, and they can't even negotiate prices."

It would have been fine if the eldest prince hadn't said this, but after he said this, Moduonik's face looked unhappy.

Shortly after the competition, a new exchange and bank were opened in his Western Territory Governor's Office.

In the past two months, many merchants had done transactions and settlements at the exchange in his Governor's Palace in order to save trouble.

The commercial taxes generated from this are equivalent to the commercial taxes collected by the Governor's Office in the previous year.

Even though he was a provincial governor, almost a provincial tyrant, he was really poor.

Not only did he have to maintain the development of this area of thousands of miles and hundreds of cities, but he also had to feed the kingdom's western border troops stationed in the western province.

Especially military spending, which is an astronomical figure.

The establishment of this exchange attracted a large number of businessmen, and the increase in commercial tax revenue also greatly alleviated the economic problems of the western provinces.

However, in the past month, a large number of merchants have left the exchange, and the exchange has become deserted.

Not only did the commercial tax from the exchange disappear, but even the previous commercial taxes were significantly reduced.

And if the exploration of the ruins was not a top priority, he would have sent people to the Governor's Office to investigate the outflow of merchants.

And there is no need to investigate now, because the eldest prince's unintentional words have revealed his true colors, and Mo Donik knows that he has also been implicated.

At the same time, as he was well versed in political struggles, he also thought that perhaps the establishment of this exchange was also the plan of Earl Huidun, who wanted to use his power to deal with the eldest prince and others.

Although it may not sound good to say the truth, the fact is that the establishment of the exchange has brought real benefits to him and the Western Province.

This is irrefutable. As for the political struggle behind it, it is also a price that must be paid in addition to enjoying the benefits.

At this moment, Mo Duonik still had a smile on his face, watching the performance of Huidun and the others as if he was watching a clown. At this moment, in his eyes, the figures of Huidun and Moss XIII overlapped somewhat.

At this time, when Huidun heard the eldest prince and his men showing off their victory like clowns, he simply replied indifferently:

"Don't worry about that, big brother. Our exchange has always been upholding the principles of fairness, justice and openness. Those merchants have the right to choose not to cooperate with us. This is their own wish."

When the eldest prince saw that Huidun was still so calm, he felt like he had hit cotton with his fist and felt very uncomfortable.

But then he thought of the news brought back by the two undercover agents. Huidun took the poison that he had carefully prepared every day, and he had discovered that poison with great difficulty.

Unless he really doesn't use any magic power during this exploration of the ruins, that would be the end of his life.

Thinking that Huidun would be torn to pieces and Princess Feipusa would be heartbroken after learning the news, he felt a different kind of pleasure in his heart.

"Then I, elder brother, would like to wish my younger brother good luck in this exploration of the ruins."

After saying this, he left with the second prince and others.

Huidun watched the eldest prince and his companions leave, and a trace of imperceptible loneliness and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Because in the conversation just now, he was able to confirm that the person behind the poisoning was his eldest brother.

He might have hesitated in the past, but this time the eldest prince really wanted him dead. At this moment, the little bit of family affection that remained in his heart disappeared like smoke.

Not long after, the seventh prince Tan Ding walked out of the woods backwards. After coming out, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then turned around and saw Huidun's back not far in front of him.

He was slightly stunned at first, then a smiling expression appeared on his round face and he said:

"Haha, ninth brother, I didn't expect you to come so early."

Huidun turned around and saw the seventh prince's round face hugging him with a smile.

Although this Seventh Brother had been lukewarm towards me before, just like a stranger.

However, he had not participated in the encirclement and suppression of his own territory before, so Huidun was still grateful to this seventh brother.

At least as the seventh brother, he still has some brotherhood in mind.

This time his power was greatly weakened because of the case of the elf Emile, and he could no longer pose any obstacle to his seizure of the throne.

So it is reasonable that Huidun still cherishes this only brotherhood in his heart.
