Chapter 268: Separation
A ray of light was as fast as lightning, piercing the sky, and landed in a remote place in the imperial capital.
In order to avoid alarming others and revealing his whereabouts, Anthony had already cast a spell to cover up the flying sword. Although there were already people coming and going in the imperial capital, no one could find a vision in the sky.
By this time the sky was shining, and it was already the morning of the second day. In just one night, Antony and Arina flew a long distance from the Riga Empire back to the imperial capital, and the speed was appalling.
But Arina didn't have the heart to explore, only thinking about her father's safety, and as soon as she landed, she took Anthony's hand and walked in the direction of the palace.
Anthony could only smile helplessly and let her pull her forward.
If he wanted to, he could actually control the Chaos Flying Sword to land in the palace, so why bother running this distance on the ground.
Now the whole thing is strange from beginning to end, and according to Anthony's original intention, it is natural to find a way to figure out the truth of the whole thing first, and then talk about other things. It's just that looking at Princess Arlina's current state, she is anxious to go to see His Majesty the King, and everything she says to her is in vain.
Although Anthony is accustomed to planning and then acting, the occasional wayward action is also a stimulus. Let's just let her go, see what kind of conspiracy he can play behind the scenes.
Anthony didn't care if the plan was disrupted, and of course it was impossible to blame the girl in front of him, just took two steps closer and walked side by side with her.
"Are you, Grand General Anthony?"
The two of them were walking briskly when a shout suddenly came from the side. The voice seemed to be trying to suppress it, for fear of being heard.
Hearing the shout, Anthony and Arlina paused slightly, and when they looked up, they saw that it was a teenager of fifteen or sixteen.
The young man had clear eyebrows and a rather clever appearance, and at this time he had fully recognized Anthony, and stepped forward with excitement on his face.
"General, I am Yang Ye Yang Haonian's subordinate. Yang Ye has already explained, let us pay close attention to the inside and outside of the imperial capital, if you see the general and the eldest princess, be sure to ask the two of you to meet Yang Ye. ”
The young man's voice was still low, and he looked rather sneaky. As he spoke, he gestured to one of his companions. The companion saluted Anthony and the two, turned around and ran away, probably reporting to Yang Haonian in a hurry.
Anthony looked at the man in the distance, and then at the young man in front of him, thinking that this little rascal was doing well, and there were two random minions under him, and it seemed that he was actually quite disciplined.
The young man's proposal was exactly what he wanted, and Anthony also happened to want to find Yang Ye in the underground world of the little rascal to understand the situation, but he didn't find an excuse, but he took the initiative to send it to the door.
And it seems that Yang Haonian really knows a little bit of news, otherwise he wouldn't let his subordinates be so careful and sneaky.
However, although the idea is good, Princess Arlina is like an arrow, and she doesn't want to delay a little time.
"What's the matter with you Yang Ye, let's talk about it when we come out. We also have important things to do, and we are in a hurry to enter the palace now! ”
Yalina also knew Yang Haonian, and she was not polite to his subordinates. In fact, at this juncture, if anyone stops her, she probably won't be polite to anyone.
The clever young man looked helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Yang Ye explained that something big happened in the emperor's capital, so I wanted to invite the two seers to meet and explain the situation." ”
Princess Arina was unmoved, thinking only about the big thing that the little rascal said, I am afraid that it is the news of her father's illness. Where he needed to explain something, she and Anthony went to see their father in person, and didn't everything be clear.
But seeing Anthony's helpless look, he finally took a step back: "Why don't I go into the palace myself and see my father's ...... Anthony, you go to see Yang Haonian, come to me when you're done, okay? ”
Her Royal Highness the princess pleaded with a pleading face, and no one could bear to refuse after seeing it.
Although she was anxious, she knew the balance in the end, and did not leak the news that the king was seriously ill.
Anthony groaned slightly, eventually nodding in agreement with Arina's suggestion.
With his current strength, by Arlena's side, he naturally doesn't have to worry about someone being able to hurt Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. But Anthony's concern is that things may not be solved by force alone.
In addition to His Majesty the King himself, the most likely person who can use the jade seal of the kingdom to pass on the holy decree is the person closest to the king, and the person who is also close to Yalina. If it was really them who were dealing with themselves and Arina, or even His Majesty himself, ...... Even if he uses his means to reach the sky, it will be difficult to solve it completely.
In addition to praying that this situation will not occur, the only thing to do now is to learn all the information as soon as possible, see the moves, and try to control the matter in your own hands.
As for Jalina's safety, there is no need to worry too much.
Anthony's mind is unprecedentedly powerful, and as long as he is in the imperial capital, he can sense Arlena's location at any time. Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Princess, under the guidance and help of Anthony, has also grown by leaps and bounds, and other idlers may not be able to help her. There is also a talisman magic weapon refined by Anthony himself, which can not only resist the attack damage for her, but also immediately warn Anthony and let him rush to the rescue in an instant.
The most important thing is that Anthony still has a strong hole card like "Mutton Fat Jade Bottle" in his hand, even if there is a real case, there is still room for redemption.
With so many insurance methods, if there is still an accident, it can only mean that God will do so.
Seeing that he agreed, Arina gave him a gentle hug. Although he was reluctant, he turned around and left hurriedly.
Anthony looked at the back of the girl leaving, and suddenly felt an inexplicable tingling pain in his heart. It's like the girl is parting with him this time, it's like saying goodbye forever.
The heartache comes suddenly, and it goes quickly. Anthony came to his senses and raised his hand, trying to stop Arina as she walked away, but found that he didn't know what to say.
After such a delay, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was walking quickly, had already squeezed into the crowd of people on the street, turned a corner, and disappeared.
Anthony, who was stunned, lowered his arm and took one last look in that direction, not wanting to say more, but signaling the young man who was waiting by the side to lead the way.
After thinking about it repeatedly, I just felt that everything was appropriate and proper, and there was nothing missing, so there should be no problem.
Anthony tried to put aside the slightest uneasiness in his heart, and followed the young man who was trotting all the way in front of him without hurrying, but his frowning brows never let go.
……
In a dimly lit secret room, Yang Haonian sat cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed, and a strange handprint on his hands, looking like he was cultivating.
In front of him stood three stout men in very strange postures. And his whole body shook like chaff, his face was distorted, and his eyes, mouth, nose and other facial features were almost displaced, as if he was suffering from unimaginable pain for ordinary people.
The three big men were so painful that tears, snot, and saliva flowed uncontrollably, but they just looked at Yang Haonian, who was sitting cross-legged, with a pleading look in his eyes. If you pay close attention, you can still see a trace of resentment hidden in the pleading.
Just looking at their appearance, they can't even beg for mercy at the moment.
Suddenly, a crisp bell rang in the silent secret room, and Yang Haonian seemed to be awakened, and his eyes suddenly opened.
He turned a blind eye to the pleas of the three of them, and his hands changed like butterflies through flowers, forming a new mudra again. It's just that with his movements, the three big men shook all over their bodies and shook even more. It seems that his speech ability has suddenly returned, but he can only scream and make some sounds that do not seem like humans.
Finally, at a certain moment, the three of them stopped their movements at the same time, fell to the ground, and no longer breathed.
Yang Hao, who was sitting cross-legged, took a long breath, like a whale sucking water, swishing sound.
With his movements, he saw a trace of black smoke barely discernible from the heads of the three big men who fell to the ground, which became thicker and thicker, and finally gathered together and was sucked into his stomach by Yang Haonian.
Yang Haonian's face darkened with the black smoke entering his body, and with a little luck, he immediately suppressed the negative emotions such as pain, hatred, and resentment that the big men were tortured before they died. After staying for a while, he was decomposed and digested by his strong skills, and he only felt that his strength had improved a lot.
He nodded with satisfaction, ignored the three corpses on the ground, walked straight to the side, touched and pressed somewhere in the secret room, and with a click, the thick door suddenly opened.
Outside the gate, there was already a person waiting.
"I've said many times that when I'm practicing, don't disturb me. If you can't give this seat a satisfactory reason, then congratulations, you are honored to be qualified to practice with this seat next time. ”
The head of the person who was waiting drooped lower, and his face suddenly became as white as paper.
Even if he didn't raise his eyes, he knew very well what would happen to the three of them who were "cultivating" with Yang Ye in the secret room. After all, he also has a role in cleaning the secret room. Just looking at the frightened and painful expressions of those people when cleaning up the corpses, one can guess that they could not die even if they died.
Don't dare to delay at the moment, and quickly pour out all the words that are going to be said:
"Master Yang, Her Royal Highness the Great General and the Eldest Princess have returned."
Yang Haonian was stunned when he heard this, and his smug expression stagnated on his face.
After a long time, the man who bowed his head and bent over heard Yang Ye muttering to himself.
"Coming back? How could it be so fast? Did he perceive something......"
Before he could hear it clearly, he felt a strong surge, and he flew into the air involuntarily, and then fell to the ground with an oops.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at three distorted corpses. When I turned around in horror and inexplicably, I saw that the door of the secret room had been closed with a clicking sound.
"Ah......h
The man was in a state of shock and screamed in horror.
Screams echoed through the chamber, but there was no response. There were only three painfully distorted faces, looking at him coldly, with strange eyes. Like pity, like mockery.
