Chapter 335: Return to the Sea Empire
All of this is just Dongfang Shuo's speculation and nonsense.
To say that they came here is not an order from the Guihai Empire, which is a matter of course.
Which empire would let the son of its own backer run to the enemy's position to die?
Therefore, they must have come here without permission.
As for the fact that the Longlin Empire knew some of the defenses of the Guihai Empire, it was even more nonsense. And even if there really is, where does Dongfang Shuo know where to go?
All this, Akiba Bai saw in his eyes, and he just listened quietly.
And Dongfang Shuo directly pried open the mouth of this frightened young man.
The affairs of the Guihai Empire in the spiritual realm were originally controlled by the crown prince, but since the crown prince was assassinated and coma five years ago, all matters have been presided over by the second prince.
And unlike the decision-making of the six princes of the Longlin Empire, the model implemented by Lu Yanzhang is different, the second prince is the absolute authority in Guihai City, controlling everything.
And all the secrets, the two princes were handed over to several people to deal with, including Xie Mingjie, the second son of the backer. As Xie Mingjie's right-hand man, this young man who was deliberately left behind by Dongfang Shuo naturally knows a little bit.
Although it is not much, it is just a road leading from the east to Guihai City, which is now open. The arming situation along the way was revealed by this person.
In addition to the defense, there is also the difference between forces in the city.
On the bright side, everything is in the hands of the second prince, but on the dark side, the prince's power is still dormant. Although as soon as the second prince took office, he quickly solved the bright line and several dark lines of the prince, but after all, there was still a time when there was a hundred secrets and one sparse.
Although the prince's faction is in decline, there is still a breath of life now, and the second prince does not know it.
"So, as long as you can get the second prince, then you can get Guihai City?" asked Dongfang Shuo.
The young man sneered and mocked, "Who do you think you are? What if you know this? ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Dongfang Shuo asked.
However, although he asked, he knew quite well in his heart.
The young man said: "Needless to say, the spiritual domain is the lifeblood of the Seven Kingdoms, and losing the spiritual domain is equivalent to losing the fortune of the country." Not to mention whether you can get the Guihai City of my Guihai Empire, even if you can, do you think that the other five will watch your Longlin Empire swallow Guihai City, and the family is dominant?"
Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth.
"You don't have to worry about it. He said.
After all, he didn't belong to the Dragon Forest Empire.
Naturally, asking these questions at this time is not for the sake of the Dragon Forest Empire at all.
The young man snorted coldly and said no more.
However, Dongfang Shuo quickly asked again: "Having said that, I still want to know another thing. You said that the crown prince was assassinated five years ago and fell into a coma, and he hasn't woken up until today, but is it true? Could it be that he is just pretending not to wake up, and is planning a bigger plan, but you don't know?"
"The crown prince is the prince, why does he need to plan things?" said the young man.
"For example...... The second prince threatens him, and he needs to take the opportunity to get rid of him?"
Five years ago, the second prince was unarmed and could not threaten the crown prince at all, but the prince was in a coma, so that the second prince got such power. ”
After listening to the young man's narration, Dongfang Shuo pondered slightly.
If you want to deal with the second prince of the Guihai Empire, you have to understand this guy first.
In addition, Dongfang Shuo also has to ask about the prince's affairs.
"Shhh...... That's weird. He touched his chin, and then said, "Then who did it, the prince was so badly injured, and did the murderer find it?"
"Huh, murderer?"
Suddenly, a cold light appeared in the young man's eyes, and he stood up straight and stared at Dongfang Shuo, "Murderer, isn't it sent by your Longlin Empire? ”
Dongfang Shuo put his hands behind his back, and said with a slight smile: "Then you are really eight lifetimes of blood mold." However, I'm a little curious, you said that the murderer was sent by the Longlin Empire, and the prince of the Longlin Empire assassinated the Sea Empire, and the Sea Empire would not react at all to such a big matter?"
The young man narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "After the incident five years ago, the Guihai Empire only sent back the murderer's head, and then made peace with the Longlin Empire outside the Spirit Realm. ”
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo was clearly stunned.
He looked back at Akiba Bai behind him, and Akiba Bai looked at his gaze with some doubts.
"You said to send the head back?" Dongfang Shuo looked at the young man, and after a pause, he pondered again and again, "Five years ago, five years ago......" suddenly realized, "Could it be that the murderer is Wu Yi?"
"Huh. The young man sneered, "Looks like you know." Do you know and ask?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Dongfang Shuo's eyes suddenly appeared with a sudden expression.
Back then, Wu Yi was ordered by the empire to go to the Guihai Empire as a spy, although he was highly poisonous, he should not die, and he was just a spy, even if it was discovered by the betrayal, there was no need for the Guihai Empire to send the head back to the gate of Longlin City.
In that battle, even if the Guihai Empire could know about the deployment of the Longlin Empire, it would never be possible to retreat from the hinterland, and there would be a price.
Just to send back the head of a spy is a bit of a stretch.
But if it is the head of the murderer who assassinated the prince that is returned, then it is a different matter.
"I see, I kind of get it now. ”
Dongfang Shuo whispered in his mouth.
Back then, the empire did ask Wu Yi to be a spy, but Wu Yi didn't just go to be a spy, but also assassinated the crown prince of the Guihai Empire by the way.
The poison in his body can still seriously injure the prince of a country to this point, and this Wu Yi's methods can be seen to be by no means simple.
"What do you understand?"
On the side, Autumn Leaf Bai suddenly asked.
Dongfang Shuo turned his head and smiled slightly, but he didn't say much.
But suddenly his smile stopped abruptly, and he looked at the young man in front of him again.
Frowning, he said in his heart: "System, haven't I already discovered the cause of Wu Yi's death, why haven't I completed the task?"
"Solution: It's still a little bit close. ”
"What's missing?"
"Solution: The purpose of Wu and his entourage to assassinate the prince of the sea. ”
"Isn't it a secret order from the Dragon Forest Empire?"
"Solution: No. ”
"I'll go, you won't be so refined in the system, do you have to let me get to the bottom of it and find out all this kind of inconsequential things?"
Solution: It's not inconsequential. ”
Dongfang Shuo suddenly rolled his eyes.
In this way, the system does not intend to disclose, nor does it intend to accommodate.
So, he didn't care about it, and looked at the young man in front of him again.
Dongfang Shuo said: "However, you just said that you are here to seek revenge for the prince?"
"Of course," said the young man, "the prince and I have a great favor. ”
"Wait a minute. Dongfang Shuo raised his hand, and after a little thought, he pointed to the headless corpse not far away, and said, "Didn't the second prince hand over some of the secrets to Xie Mingjie to take care of, then Xie Mingjie is not the second prince's person?
"Of course Gongzi Xie is not the second prince's person, after all, his father is the king of the mountain, but he is the prince's own uncle. The youth said.
"Wait, wait, this is too messy, isn't it?" Dongfang Shuo scratched his head and said, "In other words, the second prince handed over the secrets to the prince's uncle's son, that is, the prince's cousin?"
The young man shook his head, slightly revealing a bit of desolation, and said, "The imperial doctor said that the prince may never wake up again." Therefore, there is no need for the second prince to alienate the king of the backer at all, and it is more beneficial for the second prince to take this opportunity to show favor to the king of the backer. ”
"Tsk, you are a little person, you know a lot. Dongfang Shuo suddenly laughed coldly.
The young man snorted coldly, noncommittal.
Dongfang Shuo continued: "However, why did it take so long for five years to think of revenge?"
"This ...... It's none of your business, right?"
The young man looked at Dongfang Shuo.
And the latter sneered, and without saying much, a book of martial arts appeared in his hand as soon as he flipped through it.
He handed out the martial arts, and after the young man was stunned for a moment, he took over the martial arts.
After a few glances, the young man's eyes suddenly widened.
"Through the fight of Fang Cai, I have already clarified your martial arts skills. You really want to use a sword, but you don't have the right swordsmanship, right? And this set of martial arts just happens to coincide with your situation and is quite suitable for you. Dongfang Shuo said.
With Dongfang Shuo's martial arts attainments, it is not difficult to see through the young man in front of him.
Moreover, this set of swordsmanship is indeed very suitable for this young man.
"Wonderful, wonderful, simply wonderful!"
The young man was overjoyed.
And at this moment, Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand to regain the martial arts, and then said: "Now, you can tell me, why did it take so long for five years to seek revenge?"
"It's very simple, because the rules of the Guihai Empire are that only those over the age of twenty-three can enter the spiritual realm. Five years ago, several of us were not yet of age, and Mr. Xie was only 18 years old at the time. The young man said.
Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then said with half surprise: "Eighteen years old, that means that Xie Mingjie has just entered the Spirit Realm this year?"
"Gongzi Xie entered the realm two months ago, and he has been planning for today's matter for two months. The youth said.
As soon as he heard this, Dongfang Shuo suddenly laughed out loud and said, "It's really funny that he was in a hurry to enter the Spirit Realm when he was just twenty-three years old, and he was in a hurry to send him to death after planning for two months. ”
"Give me some respect in your mouth!"
The young man suddenly looked angry.
Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Even if I don't respect me, what can you do to me?"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you. ”
Young people know they can't do anything, so they stop arguing.
Then, he stretched out his hand to Dongfang Shuo and said, "Give me what I deserve." ”
Dongfang Shuo paused, and when the young man's face showed a little anxiety, he handed over the martial arts in his hand to the young man.
The young man took over the swordsmanship and martial arts, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of joy.
"It's ridiculous that you can still show such a look after betraying the empire. Dongfang Shuo said.
The young man put away his martial arts and said with a straight face: "I just said something inconsequential, at most, it is just to make the empire hurt, and after being injured, the defense of all parties will change accordingly, no matter what your Longlin Empire plans to do, it will not hurt the lifeblood of my Guihai Empire at all." ”
Dongfang Shuo sneered and said, "Really?"
The Longlin Empire really can't do it, and it can't do that.
However, Dongfang Shuo may not be able to.
"Can I go now?"
The young man asked.
Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "Return to Haicheng?"
"Of course, I won't go to Longlin City, that would really be treason. ”
"Lightweight. ”
Dongfang Shuo pointed in the direction of Guihai City.
The young man bowed his hand goodbye, then turned and walked away.
Bear!
Suddenly, a flame ignited from his chest, but in the blink of an eye, it engulfed his whole body.
Before he could hear a few wails, he fell to the ground.
After a few moments, the heat cleared, and only the dry bones of the scorched earth remained.
