Inside Shen Lu's room.

After reading the letter sent by Lone Shadow, Shen Lu asked a little strangely: "Does the eldest prince really plan to stand on my side and support me?" ”

Lone Ying smiled awkwardly and said, "Regarding this, the eldest prince also asked me to tell the city lord Shen. He does have some plans that he doesn't want you to know, but they won't hurt you. ”

Shen Lu smiled contemptuously in obvious disbelief. But there was no point in asking directly about this kind of thing, so he said, "Okay, I didn't make enemies of him in the first place." As long as he doesn't come to trouble me, I naturally don't bother to go to him. ”

After speaking, he was just about to issue an eviction order, but Lone Ying said again: "City Lord Shen, please wait a moment, the eldest prince has one more thing to say to you, that is, the matter of asking Miss Xu to hunt the Cloud Wandering Beast before." ”

Shen Lu's face suddenly sank.

It's okay not to say it, but he still has the face to mention this matter in person?

Shen Lu didn't say a word, but his eyes were already full of anger.

Lone Ying hurriedly explained: "City Lord Shen must have thought that the eldest prince deliberately made things difficult for Miss Xu, did he have other intentions? The real purpose of the Great Prince was indeed to hunt the Cloud Wandering Beast. At that time, in Changge City, only Miss Xu and her alien beast could defeat the Wandering Cloud Beast. So...... The eldest prince did want to blackmail Miss Xu, but the purpose was really pure. ”

"Does it make a difference? He still kidnapped my father-in-law and threatened my fiancée. ”

"Yes, the Great Prince has never had the luxury of obtaining the forgiveness of the Shen City Lord in this matter. But he still wants to tell you the reason for all this, because the Great Prince wants you to hunt the Wandering Cloud Beast a second time. ”

As he spoke, Lone Shadow took out a Cloud Wandering Beast's feather from the storage ring and placed it in front of Shen Lu.

Shen Lu was stunned and asked, "How did you get this feather?" What did you do to Uncle Liu?"

"Uncle Liu has always been our man, and he also told us about the first hunt. We know that if we want to completely kill the Wandering Cloud Beast, we must need the action of the Shen City Lord to do so. ”

Shen Lu suddenly became entangled. Although it was said that hunting the Wandering Cloud Beast was also part of his plan, it was now requested by the Great Prince, which only aroused Shen Lu's rebellious mentality.

Why should I work for him?

I couldn't help asking, "Why is the Great Prince so obsessed with the Wandering Cloud Beast?"

"Because the Cloud Wandering Beast has affected the lives of ordinary residents. ”

Lone Shadow took out a map, spread it out, pointed to it and explained: "Not far from the foot of these two peaks, there are several villages and towns. Villagers make a living from hunting, passing by Sunrise Peak in the early morning. Hunting and returning to the moon and returning to the peak. The two peaks are also named after this. With the existence of the Wandering Cloud Beast, no one dares to hunt. In addition, the Cloud Wandering Beast affected the ecological balance of other Beasts, resulting in these villages and towns occasionally being attacked by the Cloud Wandering Beast that was driven down the mountain. What if one day the Cloud Wandering Beast suddenly descended the mountain? ”

Shen Lu had personally been to the two peaks and knew the topography and environment there, so he knew very well that what Lone Ying said was not alarmist. Nodding his head, he said, "If the Wandering Cloud Beast really descends the mountain, it will indeed be devastated." ”

Seeing that Shen Lu's expression eased a lot, Lone Ying dared to say: "So from beginning to end, the eldest prince has always hoped to hunt the Wandering Cloud Beast, and the purpose is just for the safety of the people. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the eldest prince really loves the people so much. It's just that because he is in his position and manages the internal affairs, these things are his job and have to be considered. ”

Lone Shadow's last words were quite in line with Shen Lu's intentions.

How can there be so many good people in this world, and who does not live for their own interests?

So Shen Lu said with a little approval: "You are quite straightforward." In this way, I can be regarded as understanding the distress of some great princes. Of course, understanding is understanding, and it doesn't mean that I can forgive him for everything he did. ”

Lone Shadow said: "The eldest prince doesn't want to expect your forgiveness, but just hopes to cooperate with you and use each other." ”

Shen Lu was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to Lone Shadow, "I can promise to cooperate with him, and even promise to help him hunt the Cloud Wandering Beast with all my might." Just before that, I have a request. ”

"What are the requests, I can help convey them to the eldest prince. ”

Shen Lu shook his head and said, "I'm not asking the eldest prince to do anything, but asking you to do one thing: relax all the mana of the body and let me slap you." After this slap, I will cooperate with the eldest prince. ”

Lone Shadow never imagined that Shen Lu would make such a strange request.

After all, he has no grievances with him, why does he want to beat himself, and he has to give up all his protective mana?

But Lone Shadow is just a guard after all, and he doesn't seem to have much choice. Since he has decided to be loyal to the eldest prince, he has long been ready to risk his life at any time.

Thinking of this, Lone Shadow didn't hesitate any longer, but directly touched the talisman of the whole body and said, "You fight." ”

Shen Lu waved his palm, and at the moment when he slapped the chest of the lonely shadow, he suddenly changed his palm to a finger and used the finger of the wine fairy.

The wine mist followed Shen Lu's fingers and attacked the body of the lone shadow. Since Lone Shadow didn't have any talisman power, Shen Lu's wine mist attacked his heart qi sea position without hindrance.

In an instant, Lone Shadow's eyes lost his mind, and he became like a walking corpse, without any will of his own.

Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lone Shadow, "Can you hear what I said now?"

Lone Shadow replied, "Yes." ”

"What's your favorite woman's name?"

"Ame. ”

"What's your favorite thing to do?"

"Peek at Ame. ”

"What's your favorite thing?"

"The belly pocket stolen from Amei......"

"Okay, okay, don't say it!" Shen Lu suddenly felt goosebumps, and said in his heart that this kid looks like a dog, but he didn't expect to have such a perverted hobby.

However, this also proves one thing that Shen Lu has been guessing: the person who has been fingered by the wine fairy will not only obey Shen Lu's command, but also answer all Shen Lu's questions honestly.

Shen Lu didn't know much about the eldest prince, so he wanted to get some information by asking his henchmen.

When Shen Lu and Dugu Yiyi discussed the strategy to deal with the second prince before, they did not take the eldest prince to play together. But the eldest prince guessed the matter through clues, and then took the initiative to find Shen Lu, hoping to join forces to get rid of the second prince.

So although Shen Lu had already joined forces with the eldest prince once, he was still quite jealous of him and didn't know what his true purpose was.

At this time, with the intimate body and soul of the great prince of Lone Shadow, Shen Lu could naturally ask for an understanding.

"Lone Shadow, do you think the eldest prince is a good person?"

"It's not. ”

"Then can he be a good emperor?"

"Yes. ”

"What is his attitude towards me?"

"He is afraid of you, and he is afraid of the third princess, so he doesn't dare to mess with you. If you don't treat him as an enemy, he will never dare to take the initiative against you. ”

After asking these three questions, Shen Lu relaxed a little.

It seems that this great prince is really a very smart person and has a thorough view of the situation.

Although the second prince is also brave and strategic, sometimes his temper is too tough, and when he encounters a powerful Shen Lu, he only thinks about getting rid of Shen Lu, so he ends up in this fate.

And what about the eldest prince, although he also had a deep hostility towards Shen Lu at the beginning, when he found that Shen Lu was not easy to provoke, he immediately turned around and came to Shen Lu to cooperate.

is so urban, and so sleek, it is indeed a natural emperor.

To sit in this position, it is not appropriate to be too tough and too weak. On the contrary, it is the wall grass of the eldest prince that can have the last laugh.

Although Shen Lu has entanglements with the Baili family, in the end, this matter has to come to an end. I can't really kill all the people of the Baili family, so who will be the emperor at that time?

In all fairness, Shen Lu really couldn't find a second suitable candidate.

If he and the eldest prince can really live together in peace and sound, this is the best result for Shen Lu.

The Great Prince could never be Shen Lu's friend or ally, but the two sides could coexist.

Thinking of this, Shen Lu pointed over and dispersed the mana of the wine fairy in the sea of lonely shadow qi.

Lone Shadow woke up violently, looked around blankly, scratched his head and asked, "Lord Shen, what happened to me just now?"

"Nothing. Tell the eldest prince that I, Shen Lu, am happy to cooperate with him, and I am even more willing to hunt the Cloud Wandering Beast. However, it takes a man to help hunt the Cloudwanderer. ”

"Who?"

"Zhuo Yongkang. ”

......

The Imperial Palace, in the study of Baili Aotou.

The eldest prince took out a storage ring from the brocade box on the bookshelf on the side, handed it to Wu Yongdong, and said, "You have done a good job, since my second brother is dead, your mission has been completed." This is a hundred pairs of the finest beast bones that I have prepared for the Wuji Sanren, and you can give them to your master. ”

"The eldest prince is really atmospheric, I thank the master for it. Wu Yongdong accepted the storage ring, and then said: "Master asked me to tell the eldest prince that as long as you are willing, he is willing to lend you a batch of skeleton army." When the time comes, you can easily exterminate Shen Lu and all those who disagree with you. ”

The eldest prince shook his hand and said, "No need." Tell Sanren that he is an old man and that he will not come to me from now on. I decided to reconcile with Shen Lu and didn't plan to deal with him. ”

Wu Yongdong never expected to get such a reply, and couldn't help but ask: "Why? Is it because you are afraid that you won't be able to fight Shen Lu? The eldest prince can rest assured, this time we are confident that we will kill with one blow!"

"No need!" The eldest prince's tone became tougher, and he said coldly: "You are a subordinate, just do your duty." Don't bring your personal enmity with Shen Lu into the transaction between me and the Wuji Sanren. My deal with Sanren has been completed, and other things have nothing to do with me. ”

Wu Yongdong was half angry to death. He thought that he could kill Shen Lu this time, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince would actually plan to reconcile with Shen Lu.

And Wu Yongdong is also very clear about the character of his master Wuji Sanren.

When he was half-dead back then, it was Wuji Sanren who saved him. Master has no other hobbies, and his only interest is to study all kinds of puppet techniques. Such as resurrecting corpses, resurrecting bones, and other weird things.

Wuji Sanren does not have any pursuit of power, and he cooperated with the Great Prince before, but he also coveted the hundred bones promised by the Great Prince.

Now the eldest prince doesn't plan to deal with Shen Lu, and of course Wuji Sanren doesn't bother to deal with Shen Lu.

Wu Yongdong remembered the mortal enmity with Shen Lu, and gradually had a bold idea in his heart.

"Fuck what Wuji Sanren and the Great Prince, with these hundred bones, do I need to rely on other powers! Shen Lu, I will never let you go!"
