Thinking of this, the old man stood up and began to pace in the study, frowning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the end, the old man stopped, took out the purchase list, and solemnly said to the two old men: "According to the intelligence, this sub-list should be the main material for the configuration of the myelin cleansing pill. I'll leave it to you now, and be careful to keep it a secret! ”

"What?!" The two old men opened their mouths in shock, and then looked at the old man of the Sun family with admiring eyes. They didn't expect that this head of the family would be so powerful that he could get this "formula" of the myelin-washing pill.

Seeing the two family potion masters leaving with excited expressions holding the "formula", the old man smiled bitterly. He didn't want to expose Sun Xiang too soon, even to the upper echelons of the family. The more super the family, the more complicated the relationship inside is, so he has to protect his grandson.

Wait for the two Potion Grandmasters to leave. The old man straightened his clothes, opened the secret passage of the study, and then got in. Sun Xiang's identity is too sensitive, even beyond the scope of his rights, and he needs to ask for instructions from above.

After coming over for a long time, the old man came out of the secret passage again, and shouted outside with a serious expression: "Go and call Sun Gang." ”

While waiting, the old man wanted to take a sip of wine, but after picking up the wine bag brought back by the second grandfather, he found that it was empty. He put the wine bag back in regret, glanced at the other wines on the wine cabinet, and suddenly lost interest in drinking.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in. This person is wearing a magician's robe, and looking at the badge on it, he is already a great magician. He has a slender body, a ruddy complexion, full of energy, and small eyes, giving people a sense of affinity.

Sun Gang is also one of the martial artists cultivated by the family, and once served as a magic instructor in the Demon Martial Arts Academy, and later resigned to sit in the Sun family as an instructor.

In this world, there are very few magicians, and even fewer accomplished magicians. They generally exist as a deterrent, because they are devastating as soon as they strike, and they can easily destroy a city. Therefore, there is an unwritten constraint on the continent for magicians above the great magician, that is, they are not allowed to fight in densely populated places, otherwise they will be hunted down and killed by the entire continent.

Old Man Sun first handed a jade plate to Sun Gang, and then said to Sun Gang with a serious face: "I asked you to go out this time, and your tasks are two: one is to protect Sun Xiang's safety; The second is to find out the person behind Sun Xiang. You are going to go to Astor City, Sun Xiang is there, and Sun Ying is also there, and Sun Ying's mission is the same as yours. The materials for Astor City will be sent to you in a moment, and you will leave tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes." Sun Gang replied dryly, then turned around and left the study.

***********

Also in the capital, in the study rooms of the Zhennan General's Mansion and the Zhenxi General's Mansion, the situation is basically the same.

"What a big layout! If it weren't for the time and money problems, we would have lost. The two heads of the house sighed as they looked at the map of Astor City. Only now did they know that the land in the western suburbs of Astor City had been granted to the Bai and Zhang families.

The trials of Astor City are only known to the royal family and a few bigwigs in the capital. The patriarchs of these three families are concerned about the performance of their sons-in-law,

All are personally following the progress of the trials in Astor City. Only the Sun family, who originally had no hope for that gentleman, handed over the task of concern to Sun Lihai.

Of course, because of Sun Xiang's gorgeous turn, now the old man of the Sun family has also begun to pay attention to it personally.

These two heads of the family are not the same as Fabre King and John Mark, and they both see that both of them are likely to lose this trial. But their thoughts were also surprisingly unanimous: "How could this layout come from the work of a sixteen-year-old gentleman?" The Sun family is really insidious. Fortunately, the time and money problems simply cannot be solved, and the children still have a chance. Alas, it's just that we may be able to win a trial, and Astor City will always be the Bai family and the Zhang family, so in the end we still lose. ”

The two families almost simultaneously believed that Sun Xiang's image of being a gentleman was all pretended, and it was not until there was a royal trial that the Sun family exposed Sun Xiang, who was hiding his strength. As a result, a pit was dug for the Black family, which caused the Black family to suffer a lot of losses. Now he is behind the scenes to guide Sun Xiang in the layout of Astor City, and finally won the royal trial. So they came to the conclusion that the Sun family was too insidious.

Especially after the two children came back to confess that they were defeated in the competition with Sun Xiang, they firmly believed in their judgment even more. Sixteen-year-old high-level swordsmen and have invincible strength of the same rank, they would not believe that this was cultivated in a few months.

But they will also let their children participate in the royal trial, although the two of them did not sit together to discuss, but it is rare to take the same approach: "Hide all this and let the children continue the trial, it is good for their growth." ”

In fact, the spheres of influence of both of them were concentrated in the south and west of the empire, respectively. They have no interest in the remote city of Astor in the east. If it weren't for the royal trial, they wouldn't even send someone there, let alone fight for some Astor City Lord.

Thus, Fabre King and John Mark were sad and somewhat lucky. Sadly, the family has seen that even if the trial is won, it will not be of much significance, because Astor City will definitely be controlled by the Bai family and the Zhang family in the future, and the family has hidden all this from them; Fortunately, this trial failed, and the family did not blame them, but blamed all this on the insidiousness of the Sun family.

It is also in the capital, in the study of Prime Minister Blake

The same map of Astor City was on Old Black's desk. Old Black finally looked up from the map and asked Blake Watt and Blake Arashi in a low voice: "The advantage of the layout is gone, and you can't be blamed for it. If you want to blame Xiao, Xiao missed the opportunity when he was out of the woods. Ay... “

Old Blake, like the other two, thought that the Sun family was too insidious, and this defeat was not a mistake. The only difference from the other two is that the east is basically their family's sphere of influence, and if Astor City loses, it means that the Black family will lose the opportunity to continue to expand eastward in the direction of Astor City in the future, because Astor City will become a roadblock in that direction.

After sighing, Old Black still left the decision to the children, because he also regarded the remaining trials as the children's growth experience: "Are you two still ready to continue?" ”

Without waiting for her sister to express her position, Walter preemptively said: "Grandpa, I still want to continue, you have taught us that we must not easily admit defeat until the last moment." In addition, you also reminded that the problem of funds and time is difficult to solve, unless the Sun family breaks the rules of the trial again and directly funds to help them. “

"Okay, good, I'm optimistic about you, go ahead, people who don't experience wind and rain will never see a rainbow. I'll also give you a hint, for the current situation, just getting the position of Lord of Astor City is no longer meaningful. Restricting the development of the Bai family and the Zhang family, and even restricting them from returning to Astor City, is the only way to achieve the final victory. ”

In the imperial study of the imperial palace of the empire, Emperor Deco of the Detulai Empire was drinking a little wine and looking at the map of Astor City, and sighed: "What a good layout, what a good product." It's a pity that how to solve it with money and time? ”

The Emperor has to put himself in his shoes. For Sun Xiang, he knows the most besides the Sun family, because his princess, that is, the aunt who dotes on Sun Zhongkai, always finds excuses to summon Sun Xiang into the palace, so as to see how far the only bloodline left by this brother has grown. The emperor has seen it a few times, and the saint-level masters in the imperial family have also seen Sun Xiang, and the conclusion he gave is: cultivation waste.

Therefore, regarding Sun Xiang's gorgeous transformation, the emperor and the old man of the Sun family have the same opinion, that is, there are hidden masters behind the back. But this cannot be explained to the other families. One is to take care of the attitude of the reclusive master, but also worry about the uncertainty that this will bring to the empire; The second is that this is just their speculation, and if they can't come up with evidence, they can't convince the others.

So far, those families only suspect that the Sun family is suspected of cheating, and they have not been able to produce evidence. As for the three families mentioning Sun Xiang's hidden strength, how could the emperor not know the truth, so he blocked the mouths of those families on the grounds that they did not violate the rules of the game.

Now Sun Xiang has changed from a gamer who is outside the game to the protagonist of the game, and has entered the emperor's field of vision.

The city of Baleno is north of the city of Aster, and the distance between the two cities is more than 300 miles. If you look closely at the eastern map of the empire and connect the three cities of Baleno, Astor and Cox in a straight line, you will find that this is an equilateral triangle, one of the vertices of the triangle is Cox City in the west, and the other two equilateral points are Astor City and Baleno.

In fact, Baleno City is also under the administration of Cox State.

The mountainous area of Abel is so large that not only the city of Astor borders it, but also the city of Baleno. And there are many more cities like them that border the Abel Mountains.

The two cities have very much in common: they are about the same size, with a population of hundreds of thousands; It's all developed from adventure towns; They are all cities that mainly deal in Warcraft materials; Now it's going to be the rear of the adventurers.
