The prince died under the assassin's knife, but what is puzzling is that the assassin was originally locked in a death row and was a prisoner who was preparing to be executed in the autumn. It was impossible for him to escape. However, the prison room where the assassin had been 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 inserted into the prince's head, and the prince was indeed pierced by the knife and died. So in the end, he was still convicted of the assassin assassin.

The outside world said that the death of the fifth prince suddenly became ill and died. In fact, only a few people knew that his death was very disgraceful. He died in the room of a popular singer, which scared the singer half to death at that time.

Afterwards, the official who tried the case in the country arrested the singer and tortured him, but he still couldn't ask anything, so he had to leave the matter.

After the death of the fifth prince, more than ten of his wives and concubines argued with each other, wanting to divide the family property and make the five kings' mansion a vegetable market.

In this way, despite many doubts, the two most powerful heirs of the throne in the ultimate Ya Kingdom were all dead.

The Second Prince and the Eighth Prince became new candidates.

The court and the middle school soon split into two major camps again, supporting each other's heirs they are optimistic about.

The Eight Prince is extremely young and is more popular among powerful people because it is easy to control when it is young.

The second prince is already in his 30s after all, and he has never participated in the competition for the throne before. He knows that he can only be mediocre. He can't compete for the eldest brother or the fifth brother. It's better to keep a low profile than to protect himself.

As a result, because of the death of the eldest and the fifth, they were pushed to the table all at once.

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

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

Therefore, Yan Geng had to learn to mature early just to get a glimmer of hope.

As an IQ of 115 that has been identified by the Earth Technology, and 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 a variety of knowledge.

Although he could not leave the palace or study in academy due to his identity, he still tried every means to find many historical books, and learned many experiences and lessons about the struggle for governing the country and power.

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

Even when his mother scolded him, he showed a respectful look, obedient, and instead comforted his mother.

After seeing his behavior, Laoya King praised him very much, and his mother's treatment improved a lot.

Yan Geng changed himself little by little, and also changed the people around him.

At the age of thirteen, he began to try to cultivate his confidants and win over the power. He even raised many powerful slaves from Kong Wu outside for future use.

However, the second prince, as he was getting older, was too eager for quick success and instant benefits and acted impatiently, but gradually failed to win the favor of the Laoya King.

Finally, in the 97th year after the founding of the Yaguo Kingdom, the second prince Li Ling Zhihun did the task of sending people to attack the eighth brother.

Fortunately, Yan Geng had a strong martial arts guard to block the assassination.

This even touched the Old Cial King's Ni Lin. After all, his favorite eldest son died of assassination.

The second prince was confined and lost the qualification to compete for the throne since then.

This matter has been discussed a lot in the government and the opposition, and some people have raised many suspicions, and the second prince even shouts for injustice every day.

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

In 99th, the old Cliff King finally passed the throne to Yan Geng. Yan Geng was just 25 years old, at the age of in his prime.

As the Cliff King, Yan Geng has experienced cruel factional struggles through his own continuous efforts. His current temperament and appearance are no longer the same as before.

He has a heroic face, is powerful without anger, and he is indeed thoughtful and has a good attitude towards a king.

When he truly took over the throne and officially ascended the throne, everyone could not help but accept it.

On the day of ascending the throne, the new Cliff King sat on the throne, but his eyes did not rest on the subjects who were kneeling down below.

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

It was a month after the matters of ascension to the throne were completed.

At this time, Yan Geng had time to come to the woods he often came to when he was a child.

Under his command, the arrangement in the woods has been in its original state for more than ten years, waiting for the return of that man.

However, even though he ascended 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 little woods with no one coming, sitting on a stone bench in a daze.

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

As the youngest child of the Cliff King and the son of an unpopular and low-ranking concubine, almost no one except his father really likes him. Anyway, he is young and has a low status, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne. The best future is to be just a prince. Among the four princes, he is the least prospective.

Even his mother complained when she saw him, and even hugged him. From the moment he was born, he was thrown to the wet nurse and the slave girl to take him.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Why are you so unpleasant?"

"It's all your fault!"

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

Only when the father occasionally sees him, can he feel a little warmth, and the people around him will be a little nicer to him. But he is not the child the father cares most, he is just being pityed because of his young age.

Until that day comes.

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

He still remembered the agreement, and the thief sister agreed to come back.

Two years, three years,...a full 16 years have passed. He has not waited for the person he was waiting for.

His eyes looked deep in the woods, and he hoped that in the next moment, the figure that would never be forgotten would jump out directly, and then he would say to him the words that had been engraved in his heart:

"You are so cute, why don't you go with me! This monster thief wants to take you to a bigger and more beautiful world to play. In this way, you don't have to stay alone in this deserted woods and stare alone, okay?"

"OK."

"Okay! Let's give you a name, Xiao Wangwang, let's go together!"

"Okay!" Xiao Wangwang replied happily in a tender voice.

"Haha... OK, I was really simple at that time..."

Yan Geng muttered nostalgically.

However, his mood could not return to that pure and pure moment.

In order to survive, he had already stained his heart. 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 his past innocence, 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 and returned to his state of being invisible to the face of his emotions and only belonged to the king of the cliff country.
