Surprise Attack (2)
"If you're capable enough, just rob us. I'll reward you then," the Third Princess said with a smile, taking Ye Lang's words as a joke.
"What kind of reward? Don't give me anything meaningless, I want something useful," Ye Lang replied.
"What do you want?" the Third Princess continued to ask.
"Treat me to a meal," Ye Lang said.
"..."
Everyone was speechless. Based on Ye Lang 'Ye Lang words, they thought he would ask for some kind of condition, or at least something difficult to agree to. They never expected it to be just a meal.
"Honestly, I can treat you to a meal. You should ask the Third Princess for money or a title or something," Debbie shook her head, feeling that Ye Lang was really too disappointing.
"Those things are useless to me. I don't lack money, nor do I need a title," Ye Lang replied, shaking his head. This was a fact, an absolute fact!
Anyone who knows Ye Lang would be absolutely certain of this: Ye Lang is not short of money; he only lacks places to spend it. As for what a title means to Ye Lang, he is already a Marquis, and wherever he goes, he will receive the best treatment. Getting any title he wants is a simple matter.
"I know you have pride, but fine, since you don't want to, then so be it," Debbie said. She and Xi Er both thought that Ye Lang didn't want these things because he had the pride of a poor man.
If they knew the truth, what a scene it would be! I bet it would be very interesting!
"Whatever, you guys hurry up and go. Get ready, I'll come and rescue you from this misery in an hour," Ye Lang said with a smile.
"Okay, we'll be waiting for you!" Debbie and the others said with smiles, and then they started to leave. They were going to the places marked on the map, where they could simply stay and relax, which was the easiest thing to do.
However, the Red Team is different from the Blue Team; they need to prepare strategies to counter each other's strategies.
Originally, Ye Lang should have been pulled into the team by the Blue Team and made to act according to everyone's ideas, doing some things like the other grooms.
However, Ye Lang disappeared at this time. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find him and had no choice but to give up. Anyway, losing one out of a hundred people wasn't a big deal, so it didn't matter.
Thus, because of Ye Lang's disappearance, neither the red nor the blue team noticed that someone was missing, and neither side took Ye Lang into account.
And so began the first unexpected turn of events at today's event...
Not long after the Red Team left, some members of the Red Team stopped at a place some distance from the previous square. The group of people leading these people were a group of high-ranking young men, either Imperial Prince or sons of powerful ministers. When these people gathered together, they could not only control the Red Team, but also influence the entire Red Team.
Among them, there was even an Imperial Prince who was highly regarded. He was basically the future successor of the empire. Except for the lack of a ceremony to appoint a Crown Prince, he was the Crown Prince.
This time, he was assigned to the Red Team. This was not a special arrangement, but a random one. The people next to him were also random. If he wanted to do something, there would be even more people around him.
Among the Blue Team, there are quite a few "Crown Prince Party," but since it's a game, they won't go easy on them just because they're Crown Prince Party. If they're going to play, they'll play it to the fullest and prove their own strength.
The Crown Prince understood this as well, and he was also aware of the abilities of certain individuals. If things had proceeded as before, the outcome would have been a 50/50 chance of winning or losing!
Therefore, this time, the "Crown Prince" must achieve victory by surprise and do something that no one has done before. Of course, he will not break the rules; everything will be within the established framework.
He wanted to win spectacularly, leaving no room for criticism, not just for Emperor Aila, but for all the people of Ella.
"Brother, why did we stop here?"
When the people in front of her stopped, the Third Princess looked at the "Crown Prince" in the middle with some curiosity. He was her eldest brother, the First Prince.
Like the Third Princess, Debbie and the others, as well as Princess Hai Na and others, all looked at the First Prince with the same puzzlement.
"You continue on your way to your destination. Have civilians and martial artists below level three protect you! Everyone else, stay here. I have other arrangements for you," the First Prince said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a royal authority that was impossible for ordinary people to resist.
"Then what are you staying here for?" Princess Hai Na asked immediately. "If you're not going to protect us, are you going to do something else?"
"Big brother, do you want it?" The Third Princess looked at the First Prince, as if she had thought of something.
"Haina, be a good girl and be your bride! Third sister, you're right, but you can't stay. According to the rules, you must stay in the courtyard that has been prepared beforehand." The First Prince looked at the Third Princess with a hint of regret.
He knew the Third Princess's abilities; they were far beyond Haina could match. Although the Third Princess liked to cause trouble, she was incredibly capable when it came to getting things done and could help him with many things.
However, the rules of the game prevented the Third Princess from following him and sharing the tasks he was about to undertake.
"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have become the bride. Big brother, how did you come up with this idea?" The Third Princess was a little regretful; she already understood what the First Prince was planning.
"We have to thank that poor kid who spoke to you. His words suddenly gave me this idea. There's no rule that says we can't take the initiative!" the First Prince said calmly.
"So it was him. He may have said it unintentionally, but it just so happens to hit a point we've never considered before," the Third Princess replied. She didn't think Ye Lang would come up with this idea, nor did she think Ye Lang was enlightening them; it was just a coincidence.
That's right, it was just a coincidence. Ye Lang never thought of using such a method. Of course, if he were on the Red Team, he might have done so.
Because this is a relatively simple and direct method!
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Debbie asked, somewhat confused.
"Let my third sister explain this to you, Miss Debbie, you look beautiful!" the First Prince said with a smile, praising Debbie.
This praise wasn't just polite; the First Prince also liked Debbie and had met Debbie several times. If he were to marry Debbie as a concubine, he would absolutely be willing.
At least Debbie won't be scheming against him!
Of course, this only means he's willing, not that he wants to!
