Chapter 510: Xuanyuan's Request
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although there has been a demon demon hidden in the capital before, no one has ever thought that the demon lord will pretend to be an official, so at this moment, among the fifty ministers in the Qi Tian Palace, maybe which one is the demon lord pretending to be.
Looking at the terrified ministers in the hall, the emperor was expressionless and did not say a word.
The prince said again: "The person killed by the demon lord died in a miserable state, the corpse was swollen and purple and black, and all the meridians of the body were shattered. And those who were killed were all uncultivated ministers, and what the ministers didn't understand was, why did the demon lord kill these ordinary people? And to kill an ordinary person, why bother to go to such great lengths and torture to the extreme?"
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the emperor's eyes, but it was a flash and he regained his composure.
The prince continued: "Erchen guessed that the demon lord should be cultivating the Demon Dao Exercises, unable to restrain his own backlash, and tried to pass on others and use other people's bodies to cultivate, and the backlash destroyed other people's bodies, while his own body was unharmed. And the most likely way to achieve this goal is to give up. ”
The emperor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Well, what the crown prince said is reasonable. ”
The prince continued: "If according to this inference, Erchen thinks that the demon lord should not kill people to destroy the overall situation of our dynasty, but to protect his own body. Once the backlash comes, the demon lord will be hungry and hungry, so he has to take materials from the nearest place and grab a person at random to be a stand-in. Therefore, since there are some officials in the vicinity of the Demon Lord, then the inference of the Son Chancellor is consistent with that of the Prime Minister, that is, the Demon Owl may really pretend to be a certain official and lurk among us. ”
The ministers were in an uproar again, one by one pale, you look at me and I look at you, while suspecting that the other party is a demon lord, they are also afraid that others will suspect that they are a demon lord.
For a time, the 50 ministers were in danger individually, as if a catastrophe was coming.
The emperor slowly opened his eyes, and his originally plain face finally showed a hint of worry, and then asked, "There are also many ordinary people in the Soul Capital City who have similar deaths, why is that?"
The prince immediately replied: "Erchen thinks that although the demon lord is hidden among the officials, it is not that he does not go out of the door, and he will occasionally go outside to walk around, so it is also possible to temporarily arrest a few people as stand-ins." There is also a possibility that the Demon Owl may not be one person, but a second or more hidden among the people. ”
Hearing this, the ministers were in an uproar again.
At this time, Huang Guozhong smiled faintly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too alarmist, right?"
The crown prince turned his head to look at Huang Guozhong and asked coldly, "What about the prime minister?"
Huang Guozhong smiled and said: "The true picture has not yet obtained real evidence, so I dare not speculate." ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed later, Xiao Zhang, Xuanyuan will be out of class." ”
This time, Xiao Zhang did not slack off as he did just now, but strode out of the train, came to the center of the main hall, and bowed deeply to the emperor.
Although he still did not bow down, Xiao Zhang's actions this time were much "progressive" compared to just now, which made the ministers a little uncomfortable.
Isn't this guy an illegitimate child? Why has he become so diligent again? It's a little incredible!
The emperor looked at Xiao Zhang quietly, a hint of relief flashed in his originally gloomy eyes, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.
Xuanyuan Jue also strode out of the train, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and waited for the emperor's "flat body" before getting up.
Looking at these two future pillars, the emperor's haggard face finally showed a slight smile, and then said: "Allowing the two of you to enter the palace to see me today is the treatment that I specially gave you important ministers, and you should not let me down a piece of hard work." ”
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhang took the lead in shouting, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
This sound, so loud that it simply startled all the ministers. Of course, Xuanyuan was also very surprised, and after shouting thanks, he thought carefully for a moment before showing a relieved smile.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhang didn't see Xuanyuan Jue's smile of "I know everything", otherwise he would have been secretly crazy again.
This time, the emperor did not hide his relief at all, laughed, and then put away his smile, and his expression suddenly became serious: "This time the Western Expedition Demon Dao, you will face a real bloody battle. You must know that you are the vanguard of the 200,000 army of the imperial court, and you play an important role in opening up the way and providing intelligence for our imperial army, and your responsibility is extremely heavy!"
The two looked at each other, then looked at the emperor at the same time, and said in unison: "Be loyal to the country and die without regrets!"
The loud voice, as if swearing to death, suddenly swept away the cold air in the hall, and even made people's blood boil.
The emperor was very satisfied, and laughed: "If you two have any requests, just ask for them, and I will try my best to meet you." ”
Hearing this, the two glanced at each other again, and they both understood that the emperor wanted to reward them for their merits, and he wanted to give them enough pressure and motivation.
When it comes to rewards, Xiao Zhang really can't immediately think of anything he needs, after all, he also has countless treasures and all kinds of strange and rare magic weapons and even artifacts, so he didn't speak for the time being.
But Xuanyuan Jue took the first step and said, "Your Majesty, the disciple has no request, only one request. ”
The Emperor smiled, "Then speak up quickly, I'll wait." ”
Xuanyuan Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this request is a bit sensitive, and the disciple doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
The emperor immediately put away his smile and said, "I forgive you for your innocence, say it quickly." ”
Xuanyuan finally pondered for a moment and said, "Please take back your majesty's order and dissolve the marriage contract between Princess Lanxiang and Huang Jun." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point again.
The ministers looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to convey the same meaning. Why? This is to destroy the wedding of other people's princesses! Could it be that you kid wants to marry the princess? What a bold thing to do!
As soon as he heard Xuanyuan Decision mention Lu Lanxiang, Xiao Zhang was even more excited, and he even regretted that he didn't make this request just now, this is a bad thing, it seems that Xuanyuan Decision will be the first to go.
Xuanyuan Jue did not show the slightest cowardice, but stood straight, quietly waiting for the emperor's response.
After a long time, the emperor finally spoke, his voice a little low, but it seemed to contain a violent storm: "Why?"
