Chapter 06: Like a puppet

"I didn't expect the dignified Ziyang City Lord to be so unbearable, just a little blame, so he was ready to run away like a lost dog, ridiculous. ”

As soon as the Ziyang City Lord stepped out of the back door, he heard a familiar but unfamiliar voice coming from the courtyard.

The Purple Sun City Lord stood at the door, only to hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, and then a figure appeared in front of him.

"Second prince?!"

The Purple Sun City Lord wondered.

"How did you get into my mansion? You, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The Ziyang City Lord's eyes narrowed, he was not afraid of the identity of the second prince at all, even if the emperor was in front of him, he dared to say this.

Of course, if there are no guards standing in your way.

"Oh? ”

The second prince smiled contemptuously, not caring at all about the threat of the Ziyang City Lord.

The Purple Sun City Lord snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly to the guards who were patrolling in the distance.

"My lord, what are you?"

Hearing the call of the Ziyang City Lord, the guards hurriedly ran over, staring intently at the Ziyang City Lord's outfit, and instantly guessed his thoughts.

"Leave me alone, kill him first!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the second prince, and at first they were surprised, but then they raised their long blades and stabbed them.

Today's Ziyang City Lords are all running around, not to mention them, is it possible that they can stay here safe and sound?

The second prince's eyes were still so contemptuous, standing still in place, not even caring about the sharp long blade.

Clang!

The expected blood flying did not appear at all, but the long blade that had been used for many years was broken in half, and the second prince had no injuries on his body at all.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, but the Ziyang City Lord opened his eyes wide and immediately shouted.

"You're not the second prince, who are you!"

When the second prince heard this, he showed a strange smile, and slowly walked towards the Ziyang City Lord with small steps.

Looking at this terrifying scene, of course the Ziyang City Lord wanted to escape with those guards, but suddenly found that only his lips could move a little in his body!

"Of course I'm not the second prince's waste, you don't need to know who I am, and I don't deserve to know, you just need to know that I can let you avenge today's hatred, snow your own hatred. ”

The chubby face of the Ziyang City Lord suddenly trembled, how could he not know the true identity of the second prince now!

To be able to resist this mortal blade, who else could it be besides that powerful immortal cultivator?!

"I just want to live now. ”

He swallowed his saliva, meddling in the world of immortal cultivators was absolutely 100% ugly.

But the second prince shook his head.

"Living is just an ordinary person's goal, I know you very well, you will not be willing to be so ordinary. ”

Looking at the evil eyes of the second prince, the Ziyang City Lord knew that if he didn't choose it today, today next year would be his sacrifice day.

The threat of the life level, coupled with the fact that the Ziyang City Lord was originally unwilling to give in to the knees, chose to cooperate with the Black Fox City Lord to conspire against him.

"Okay, I promise you, but what can you give me?"

Choosing this path, the purpose is only profit, and it is impossible to risk losing one's life to meddle blindly, right?

"Don't you just want the throne?"

The second prince said indifferently, the expression on his face was full of amusement.

"Are you willing to give it to me?"

The Purple Yang City Lord was surprised, if the second prince was not for the throne, then why would he go to such great lengths.

"If I really needed the throne, you thought your dog emperor would live so long, and you would have dragged him into the water. ”

The second prince sneered.

"So what do I do?"

Chen Million didn't continue to put forward conditions, otherwise he would really annoy him, and he might really be gone.

"That's all you have to do. ”

The second prince pushed everyone around him out of the door, and then closed the door.

(Well, the author was pushed out too, so I really don't know what they're plotting.) )

......

"Qingyun City Lord. ”

In the living room of the Qingyun City Lord's Mansion, Shangguan Feng was sitting upright on the main seat, and below him was an extremely feminine man.

He spoke in a rather girlish tone, and his demeanor and words revealed that he was a eunuch.

"Your Majesty's actions today have puzzled Your Majesty, and you dare to ask your Excellency if you can answer a question or two, and the slave family will go back to pay the errand. ”

Looking at the old eunuch in front of him, the big red man beside the emperor, Shangguan Feng knew that it would be impossible not to give him an answer today.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat. ”

Shangguan Feng helped the old eunuch to the chair, and then poured him a cup of tea.

"Adults don't need to do this, the slave family can't afford it, adults just need to explain it well. ”

Shangguan Feng naturally wanted to be fast, I just heard that there was an old Taoist who came to treat Shangguan Murong's illness, and you came just after thinking about it, I wish you could leave quickly, so that you can go and see Shangguan Murong.

Although Shangguan Feng is an official of the imperial court, to put it bluntly, the position of the city lord is completely made by himself, and the people of the imperial court only take care of the name and do not take any other actions.

The so-called three city lords are just three scattered people, but it is easy to be annexed if they do not join on this continent, if the royal family takes the position of city lord very seriously, Chen Million will not have the heart to rebel.

But if you are so indulgent, you are not afraid that the city lord will rebel?

The royal family naturally has his own set, and he has already made all the immortal cultivators in his territory as royalty, and the benefits to them are countless.

If the three city lords really have the intention of rebellion, they can be destroyed by returning any of them.

As for this battle for the throne, then the immortal cultivators will not care, after all, their own family's affairs, it is difficult to get involved.

As for Shangguan Feng's actions this time, the emperor will not specifically blame him, he originally regarded Shangguan Feng and others as puppets, and he knew it.

As for Chen Million's so-called usurpation plan earlier, he missed this extremely fatal point, and that was the immortal cultivator.

"As soon as I returned to Qingyun City from the banquet, the insider who was arranged by the Ziyang City Lord sent me information. ”

"I also have no choice, after all, it will take a long time for the news to reach China, and no one knows when Chen Million and others will rebel, so I can only cut it first and then play it, and forget about the saint to calm my anger. ”

Shangguan Feng looked at the expressionless old eunuch, who seemed to have already gained insight into this explanation.

The old eunuch drank the tea, then stood up and looked at Shangguan Feng.

"Just now, the slave family received news that the Ziyang City Lord has become the king independently, and His Majesty means that it is better to let the adults solve it, but it can't delay the big thing. ”

"Can't even I be involved in such a big thing?"

Shangguan Feng was slightly surprised, even if he was just a puppet of the royal family, this kind of major event that even he was not qualified for was still rare.

"It's okay to tell you, it's just that those royal families in the Lingyun Sect are coming back. ”

The old eunuch said that his tone was very flat, but the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.

"That villain really doesn't qualify. ”

Shangguan Feng understands that he is indeed not qualified for this kind of national fortune, those dozen people are the real pillars, if they are gone, the country will also be encroached, because the royal family has no foundation for hegemony.

"I'll send it to my lord. ”

After sending the old eunuch away from the city lord's mansion, Shangguan Feng rushed to the side hall to find the old man.

"It's coming. ”

Lao Dao opened his eyes and looked out of the house, his eyes revealing incomparable vicissitudes, as if the turning point of his fate would change at this moment.

As the footsteps grew louder and louder, a figure appeared at the gate.

"Dare to ask if the chief can make the little girl wake up tomorrow?"

Shangguan Feng did not procrastinate, and the heart of saving the girl had already dispelled his suspicions about the old way.

Lao Dao nodded, and then walked briskly towards Shangguan Murong's boudoir under the leadership of Shangguan Feng.

"Qingyun City Lord, please stay, outsiders can't mix with it when the poor road is healed, even if it's a close relative, this is the rule of the poor road. ”

Lao Dao made a stop gesture and waited for Shangguan Feng's response.

"That's fine, but if you dare to play any tricks, I won't let you go. ”

Shangguan Feng also learned from the chief manager that the old Tao was unfathomable, so he didn't pursue it.

Hearing this, Lao Dao turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then closed the door and locked it.

Shangguan Murong, who was lying in the quilt in front of him, looked sick and pitiful, but Lao Dao didn't have any other intentions, and walked quickly to the bedside.

"Today, I will give you a great opportunity, no, or a share with you. ”

Lao Dao's hand was placed on the back of Shangguan Murong's neck, and as soon as his dry hands were turned over, the powdered poison appeared in the palm of his hand.

The toxin disappeared, and Shangguan Murong gradually regained consciousness, and after a moment of detoxification, he reopened his eyes.

"Are you...... You're the old storyteller of yesterday, did you save me?"

Shangguan Murong propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed and said.

The old man showed a smile that he couldn't guess, and slowly told all about today's events, and even what Shangguan Feng did in Ziyang City was clear word for word.
