The first floor of the villa was pitch black. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the second floor of the villa, there was only one window with a faint glow.

And the third floor, it was also pitch black.

In other words, in the entire villa, there are only people on the second floor!

This is what Xiao Zheng determined during the incubation period. So when he managed to run to safety. and made a quick decision. Climb through the window to enter the first floor. Then go straight up the stairs to the second floor.

As long as all goes well, he can be in front of that door in a minute.

But what could he do when he got to that door?

Rush in?

That's impossible. Rushing in reveals his whereabouts. If you don't go in, how can you know what's going on inside?

At this minute on the way, Xiao Zheng's brain spun rapidly, thinking about the direction of the next step.

Finally, when he ran down the hallway, he approached the door against the wall. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all my worries were unnecessary.

The door was not tightly closed, perhaps because the villa was already a heavily guarded palace. In addition, the nursing home outside the villa is also quite cautious, which can be described as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, so the people in the villa are not highly vigilant.

After all, how many people can get through the layers of guards and get close to the door?

It can be done. You can't stop this door, right?

Three steps and two steps, Xiao Zheng quickly approached the door, but his back was against the wall, listening intently.

Xiao Zheng's Japanese can only barely communicate, but there is no obstacle to listening. But he leaned his back against the wall, and after listening for less than thirty seconds, he was shocked by what was going on in the room...

……

In the room.

The light was faint, but there were three men seated.

One of them lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and his body was shrouded in a black robe. It is difficult to tell the age by looking at the face alone. But his eyes, which were so cloudy that they were blurred, were surrounded by an incomprehensible light.

From beginning to end, he just sat on a single sofa, like an old monk in meditation without saying a word.

The middle-aged man sitting on his left side was holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly. The eyes are sharp, with a faint cold light. Even if the one sitting opposite him is the Prince Tianxiong!

"A master."

Prince Tianxiong, who was supposed to be dealing with the aftermath, sat opposite the two and looked at the old man opposite him respectfully. With a solemn face, he said: "My father has passed away." The palace is ready to move, though I have already summoned them. But it's hard to control them..."

The old man, who was called a master, did not raise his eyes, but the middle-aged man sitting next to him spoke, "Prince." My father's mission has been accomplished. And this villa will also belong to you in the near future. The grievances and grievances in the palace, my father really has no intention of asking. ”

These words reveal a lot of information.

First of all, this master should have a close connection with the emperor. Secondly, the emperor died. A master accomplishes his mission. There is no need to continue to do so. And finally, this villa will soon belong to the Crown Prince, and will no longer be the residence of a master!

When Prince Tianxiong heard this, a trace of anger flashed imperceptibly in his eyes. But it was quickly covered up. Just sighed lightly and said slowly: "Master." I know you're feeling reluctant. But your father's bones are not cold, can you bear to watch the royal family consolidated by your father have civil strife? Among them, there are also your years of operation and efforts! ”

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly: "Prince." My father has made up his mind, and he really doesn't want to participate in the royal battle anymore. And, you know—" After a pause, the middle-aged man changed his words. Said slowly. "Over the years. The emperor is seriously ill, and his father has already done his best. Do you have to die after your father? ”

When Prince Tianxiong heard this, he saw the other party's face clearly. I know very well that if I don't come up with actual benefits, it is difficult to say that I am a master. However, in order to win the support of this emperor's imperial master. Or even-

Prince Tianxiong is willing to pay a certain price.

Once on the throne, he will be able to regain everything he has lost!

"A master." Prince Tianxiong said word by word. "I know that your family has always been oppressed by Ito. Over the years, there has been no chance of getting ahead. ”

From beginning to end, a master did not make a sound. Just sit quietly with your eyes and nose and your nose and your heart. Instead, it was his son, the middle-aged man, who was negotiating with Prince Tianxiong. Fight for enough benefits...

"These things are family matters. We'll take care of it ourselves. The middle-aged man smiled. There is quite a posture that oil and salt do not enter.

As for why he is in this posture, Prince Tianxiong is very clear!

This Helan wants to fight for enough benefits!

You must know that a master is the close master of his father. The closest friend. The position in the palace is quite prominent. And everything he has is all because of the existence of the emperor.

Now, the emperor has died. How could the heirs tolerate this time-honored brand remaining in the palace?

No matter who ascends the throne, he will be the first to move!

This is the commonplace in China, a son of heaven and a courtier!

In this case, how could a master easily help Prince Tianxiong, who would uproot him at any time?

Before leaving the palace, he must bite off a piece of meat! Whoever begs him, he bites!

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility.

In fact, the only one he can help, dare to help, is Prince Tianxiong!

Because Prince Tianxiong is the most justifiable! And the source of all the interests of the master family is also the imperial palace.

He can't be like those high-ranking government officials, who can get out of it even if their supporters lose. It won't hurt the foundation. A master doesn't have this ability. So he didn't dare to support anyone other than Prince Tianxiong.

Because once he loses the bet, he will have nothing!

"It's not exactly a family affair, is it?" Prince Tianxiong's eyes sank, since the other party doesn't miss the old feelings, he only talks about interests. There was no need for him to continue pretending. Instead, he said with a calm face. "Ito is dead though. But his subordinates are still running his business well. I believe that the two of them also know that many of Ito's properties are related to the royal family and nobles. There is a deep transfer of benefits. If no one solves the siege for the two. I believe that this situation will continue forever. ”

After a pause, Prince Tianxiong stared at Helan directly, pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Helan." Do you think that with the energy of your family alone, you can be sure that you will play with the entire royal family without falling behind? ”

was stepped on by Prince Tianxiong in the sore spot. Helan's face also became slightly ugly.

What Prince Tianxiong said is indeed the truth.

Without the support of Prince Tianxiong, he really couldn't rely on his own energy. Go and play with the whole royal family.

"Mr. Helan. Let's take a long-term view. Discuss a win-win situation? Prince Tianxiong said calmly. It's a complete showdown.
