A month later, in the Apocalypse City, Lin Ying rubbed his temples and looked at the bamboo slips piled up in front of him, and said to himself: "It's really troublesome to trace this matter back to the source, it's impossible, the old guy from the Shuxin Medical Center invited me over." ”

Xiao Ming looked at Lin Ying, who had a headache, and said, "Young Master, what's so annoying?"

Lin Ying said: "The death of the first emperor was too sudden, Your Majesty asked me to investigate this matter, in fact, to put it bluntly, I suspect that the third prince is the operator behind this battle for the throne, and everything is provoked by him." ”

Xiao Ming said: "But at present, there is no evidence pointing to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but the Fourth Prince is more suspicious." ”

Lin Ying nodded and said, "Indeed, I also wondered if there was a problem with my judgment, but until now I have not figured out one thing, the third prince is actually the weakest in the entire battle for imperial power. If it weren't for the emperor's last order, I'm afraid General Lian and I wouldn't easily stand on the side of the three princes, but he seems to have predicted what happened later, and he was all prepared. ”

Saying that, Lin Ying opened a roll of bamboo slips and said: "Elder Xiao, look at this bamboo slip, the information on it says that the four princes also invited five mercenary groups to take action before raising troops into the city, so as not to be trapped in Yuexi City, but at that time, they fought until the end, and the five mercenary groups invited by the four princes did not appear, if these five mercenary groups really supported outside, I am afraid that this throne will fall into the hands of the four princes." ”

Xiao Ming looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, stroked his beard, what Lin Ying said was true, Lin Ying continued: "After that, I went to the mercenary house and investigated these five mercenary groups, except for the Blazing Mercenary Group, the other four mercenary groups have disappeared quietly, not to mention much, with the four battle saints in the two emperor-level mercenary groups, I am afraid that it is difficult for them to disappear quietly except for the Saint Seiya." But how many Saint Seiyas are there in the world, and as far as I know, it should be impossible for Zhuge Jin to know those Saint Seiyas in the Yuexi Kingdom. ”

Xiao Ming frowned and said, "What does the young master mean that this shot may be from two other countries?"

Lin Ying nodded and said, "This is also a possibility, if it is as we guessed, I am afraid that the price of their attack will definitely not be small, and these costs must not be easily replaced by rare treasures, if I guess correctly, it should be related to the entire Yuexi Kingdom." ”

Xiao Ming's expression changed, Lin Ying groaned again, and said: "But there is another possibility, it may be the hand of the old guy from the Shuxin Medical Hall, the methods of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect have always been ruthless, killing people invisibly, although the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has long been destroyed, but those ancient books are still preserved to be extremely perfect, not to mention that the old guy in the Shuxin Medical Hall also has the cultivation of an eight-star battle saint." But no matter which possibility it is, I'm afraid the ambition of the people behind this curtain is not small!"

Lin Ying frowned and connected these clues carefully, his fingers tapped on the table again and again, and suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and he sat up straight suddenly, and said, "No! If the person behind the whole thing is really Zhuge Jin, he can't do it just for the sake of this throne." If the emperor was still alive, he could be his prince in peace, and he would never make such a decision. Damn it, Your Majesty is in danger!"

Lin Ying stood up, picked up the banknote and quickly wrote on the bamboo slips, and after a while, he shouted: "Quick!

At this time, in the imperial city, Zhuge Lan was relieved to finish reading the last book, there were too many things for her to deal with in this month, so that she was rarely able to sleep peacefully for a night, yawned, and invited the maidservant to prepare a snack for a long time.

While eating snacks, Zhuge Lan said to the maidservant: "I have been busy with business in the past few days, why don't you two accompany me to the city in two days, and it is really boring to stay in the palace every day." ”

Zhuge Lan said this, the maid was naturally obedient, Zhuge Lan stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth, and said: "No wonder my father and emperor sometimes like to be lazy, throw those folds to General Lian and Grandpa Baili, and sneak out to play by himself, it turns out that being the emperor is so tired and boring." ”

The maidservant girl on the side said: "Your Majesty, how can you think so? Your Majesty, you are now above 10,000 people, the wind is the wind, the rain is the rain, and the government and the opposition dare not obey." ”

Zhuge Lan held his head and said: "This is just the superficial scenery you see, in this huge palace, except for the third emperor brother and I are blood relatives, the rest of the people are just servants, and they are really unrelated." My father and the emperor also went, and the royal brothers, for this one throne, there was only one left, and in my opinion, this throne is just the biggest poison in the world. ”

The maid listened to Zhuge Lan's words, silent, Zhuge Lan sighed lowly, at this time, a maid gently buckled the door and said, "Your Majesty, General Lian, please see you." ”

Zhuge Lan suddenly came to the spirit, Lian Yang watched her grow up, when she was a child, Zhuge Yan was busy with court affairs, and she often couldn't pay attention to herself, but Lian Yang gave her enough love, for Zhuge Lan, Lian Yang was like her father. Zhuge Lan hurriedly said, "Invite him in!"

Lian Yang walked in with a canvas bag with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, guess what I brought." ”

Zhuge Lanping withdrew her maidservant, looked at Lian Yang with disgust and said, "Uncle Lian, why should you and I be commensurate with each other in private, if you do this again, Lan'er will be angry." ”

Lian Yang laughed and said: "Lan girl, you don't shy away from it, forget it, come, try the roast duck that your uncle brought you, I met an old farmer on the street today, and the roasted duck is extraordinarily fragrant, and I bought it all." As he spoke, he placed the burden he was holding on the table.

Zhuge Lan was not polite, he took the burden and couldn't wait to untie it, a slightly charred puff pastry, oily roast duck was exposed to the air, and the rich aroma suddenly filled the entire dormitory. Zhuge Lan suddenly felt speechless, and praised: "It's so fragrant! Uncle, can you eat some too?"

Lian Yang said: "You eat, I have already tasted it at home, the old farmer's skills are good, I will definitely look for him if I have the chance." ”

Zhuge Lan tore off a chicken leg and took a bite, the delicious almost made her bite off her tongue, her eyes lit up, Zhuge Lan said: "I must let him come to my palace to be the imperial chef, it's so delicious!"

Lian Yang laughed and said: "You will get tired of eating every day! You are now busy with official duties, and there are many fewer opportunities to go to the city to play, I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I will often bring you some delicious snacks back in the future. ”

Zhuge Lan grinned, Lian Yang watched her happily eating roast duck, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the scene in front of him reminded him of the time when he and Zhuge Yan took these little princes and Zhuge Lan together in a small shop in Yuexi City many years ago. At that time, how could the princes have such scheming and greed like now, and they can be regarded as innocent. It's a pity that time can always change something.

The two of you chatted for a long time, and Lian Yang's arrival also eliminated Zhuge Lan's loneliness for many days. Suddenly, there was a sense of crisis in Lian Yang's heart, he decisively trusted his instincts after fighting on the battlefield all year round, and the strength of the Nine Star War Saint was released without reservation, and then, a terrifying energy attacked Lian Yang.

Lian Yang snorted coldly and shouted: "He Fangxiao is small! He dares to break into the palace at night!

At that moment, Lian Yang didn't dare to have the slightest reservation, a big knife appeared in his hand, Lian Yang turned his head to Zhuge Lan and said: "Lan girl, you run, go to find Baili senior, I'll block it here!"

Zhuge Lan also heard Lian Yang's exclamation, and naturally knew that the strong man in front of Lian Yang at this time was a saint warrior, she knew that Lian Yang must not be an opponent, but there was no time to hesitate at this moment, she couldn't live up to Lian Yang's kindness, gritted her silver teeth, Zhuge Lan shouted: "If you hurt him, my Yuexi Kingdom will find you even if I use the strength of the country! Let you live a life that is better than death!" After that, she didn't dare to stay longer, turned around and ran towards the depths of the palace, she knew that the only one who could save Lian Yang now was the senior of the Baili family who had been guarding the Yuexi Kingdom.

In the night sky, a cold snort sounded, and then a terrifying spiritual power raged in the sky, Lian Yang looked at the figure in the night sky in shock, and cold sweat fell from his forehead: "Who is Your Excellency?

The man didn't speak, and Lian Yang saw that he had a handprint on his hands, and then a handprint condensed by spiritual power flew towards Zhuge Lan, who was fleeing towards the depths of the palace. Lian Yang's eyes shrank, and he shouted angrily: "Despicable!" Several dodges blocked the path of the handprint, and the spiritual power of his body was released without the slightest reservation, and one after another martial arts were released, facing the saint warrior, Lian Yang did not dare to have the slightest reservation.

However, all of Lian Yang's obstacles were in vain, and the handprint broke all of Lian Yang's defenses, and it was firmly imprinted on Lian Yang's old body. Lian Yang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew upside down.

The Saint Seiya glanced at him, and in a few flickeres of his figure swept towards Zhuge Lan.

Seeing that the Saint Seiya was about to catch Zhuge Lan, Lian Yang was dumbfounded, shouted violently, and a blood mist exploded on his body, and shouted angrily: "Hugh hurt my emperor!" hugged the body of the Saint Seiya and forcibly blocked the body of the Saint Seiya.

The Saint Seiya snorted coldly and impatiently: "Noisy ants!" Immediately after, his hands slapped on Lian Yang's chest mercilessly, only a few light and brittle bone breaking sounds were heard, and Lian Yang's chest collapsed in horror, Zhuge Lan looked at Lian Yang, who had lost his life in an instant, and tears suddenly came out, looking at the Saint Seiya roaring madly: "I, Zhuge Lan, swear! If I don't die today, I Zhuge will never die with you!"

The Saint Seiya sneered, casually put aside Lian Yang, who was already out of breath and less in breath, and said, "Can you survive tonight." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Zhuge Lan.
