Prince Xia Zuo finally told his brother everything he knew, 1510 without reservation.

"You should have told me about it as soon as possible. England Mu said in a deep voice, with anger in his tone, but he didn't get as angry as Xia Zuo thought.

"Your Majesty should understand why I am doing this. Xia Zuo didn't want to make too many excuses, but his voice was weak, showing his helplessness.

"Hey, I know what you're worried about. I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Lenn, and the reason why I have always shown dislike for him is not only that he has expressed resentment towards me in front of people many times. He's my nephew, and I know I'm not as generous as you, but I'm not so narrow-minded.

His temperament is different from you and me, he is too radical, and although the city is deep, he is easy to be instigated.

I want to create some ups and downs for him, let him temper him more, and still give him the burden of a county king in the future. None of my sons can be the future prince's fodder, and I hope that he will take your place in the future, and that when you and my brothers step down, the empire will not fall. ”

England was a rare man who showed weakness and sighed.

"Your Majesty......" Xia Zuo didn't expect the emperor to say this to him, it seemed that their brothers hadn't had such a calm conversation for several years. The emperor's words moved his younger brother, who had always been inexplicably worried, and he was also a little ashamed of his misunderstanding.

"You must not tell Lenn what I just said, not a word. England Mu suddenly straightened up.

"The younger brother understands that the younger brother has thanked His Majesty for his hard work. It's the younger brother who is superficial. Xia Zuo was moved, and then bowed deeply to his brother.

"I only have a brother like you, and I know your hard work, but ...... Hey, let's not talk about that. England's eyes lit up slightly, and he sighed and didn't continue.

Although Xia Zuo enjoyed this kind of heart-to-heart conversation between brothers, he also knew that this matter was important, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter will affect the alliance between the two countries, if the desert people insist on planting this matter on my Orion's head, I am afraid it will ......."

England snorted coldly. "Hmph, the benefits given to them over the years are too rich, but it doesn't mean that I, Orion, will accept this kind of planting.

Their prince died here, and we can compensate us a little, which can only show the comfort of fellow allies on behalf of the Empire. Yu Li, as long as it is not officially done by our Orion, then it has nothing to do with us. At most, we will assist observers in finding the real culprit, and even arresting the real culprit.

As for the other reasons, we cannot accept them, otherwise what is the honor of the Empire. ”

"I'm afraid the other ministers won't think so!" the ministers have already thought of the decisions they will make. Prince Xia Zuo said in a deep voice.

Neither is worried that the desert people will put the blame on Lunn unless they give up on finding the real murderer.

"I'm afraid they'll be sending someone with status over soon, waiting for news from the observers. That's not what I'm worried about, the desert people won't kill their own prince, if we don't do it, then who will it be?"

......

At the same time, all the royal families knew about this incident, and every day at the court meeting, the ministers and nobles were discussing this matter, and everyone felt that the mountain rain was coming, and the real crisis seemed to begin.

The death of an heir, especially the two strongest empires in the coalition, will be rift because of this incident, which is probably something that no one wants to see.

Except, of course, one country.

The Shadow Empire was also quick to learn about it. On that day, in addition to the emperor of the Shadow Empire, the Duke of the Blood Clan, the Werewolf King and other powerful figures were all present, and the Shadow Empire immediately started a discussion in the main hall of the court. In the end, it was decided to temporarily reduce military output, and the shadow army retreated fifty kilometers.

It seems to give the coalition a chance to breathe, but in fact it does not want to increase the pressure on the coalition at this time. In their eyes, this is a great opportunity.

Originally, the addition of desert people made the Shadow Empire's aggression stagnate, and now these two powerful enemies may fall out because of this matter, which is the outcome that the Shadow Empire is most happy to see.

Why not stop the looming war offensive so that they can focus more on that matter, and perhaps hasten the division of the alliance?

......

Verbo City, in the headquarters of the Dragonwing Mercenary Regiment.

The emperor's order was not easy to refuse, and after agreeing to go to Tamuya City together tomorrow, the head of Monroe sent away the middle-aged court mage Sanya who had come to inform him. Monroe saw the unease in the old friend's eyes.

Alone in the study, and sending the waiter away, Monroe picked up a piece of paper on the table that had recorded the news he wanted to know, and the time on the paper was fifteen days ago.

After Ryan and Grassbone left that day, Monroe ordered that in addition to Ryan's daily news, there was one more news of Silkbone.

He knew Ryan's departure, and he knew that this kid was finally going back to Axavier, back to his father. Thinking of this, Monroe not only showed a slight smile of relief. This stubborn boy finally met his bonds, and Monroe, as an elder, was also happy for Ryan.

"Where's this kid? ”

Just yesterday, his men finally got information on the whereabouts of Lawrence, the "Steppenwolf". Monroe originally wanted to tell Chi Gu the news as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Chi Gu to leave Verbo City the day before.

He also knew the news of Chi Gu's departure from the city, but he didn't know where Chi Gu was going. Monroe, while well-informed, couldn't do it all.

Monroe shook his head and put the information in his hand down. Tomorrow he will be on his way to Tamuya, and he doesn't know which observers will be on this mission. I don't know how long it will be delayed.

The Dragon Wing Mercenary Regiment is now one of the largest mercenary groups in Orion, and there are quite a few mercenary teams under his command, and as the leader of the mercenary group, he is naturally busy with business. Fortunately, his staff and deputy head of the regiment let him worry, otherwise Monroe would probably not even have time to cultivate.

On the second day, the middle-aged court mage Sonya arrived at the headquarters of the Dragon Wing Mercenary Regiment early, and Monroe and Sunya were drinking tea in the reception room. It didn't take long for seven or eight more people to come.

These are the O'Lane Watchers who have received the news and are going to the city of Tamuya together. They all have their own jobs and lives on weekdays, and this is the first time they have come together in this capacity, except that they were approached by the Observer Guild decades ago and given this status. Although the executor of this mission is not them.

To be able to be appointed as an observer by the Observer Guild, it must be a strong person with its own uniqueness in some fields, not necessarily in force, among which there are scholars, and there are also grandmaster-level formation mages and alchemists.

Everyone is a leader in their respective fields, so even if they don't know each other, they have been friends with each other for a long time. In just a few minutes of meeting, everyone talked happily.

"Dalaiqi, I didn't expect you old boy to come, what about Master Joseph?" asked a white-bearded, scruffy-looking old man looking thin to a thin old man in a mage's robe.

"You guy, Joseph is a master, I'm not? He's been busy lately, and it seems that one of his relatives is seriously ill, so he probably can't leave, right? You old arms and legs, such a long journey, isn't this a cause for trouble?"

The two seem to be old friends, and these ridiculous words come as soon as they open their mouths, and the two laugh without any anger.

Monroe took a quiet sip of tea, he knew that Joseph, the alchemy master of the Imperial Academy, was also one of the observers, and that the seriously ill "relative" was probably the unconscious Gail.

"You old fellow, how much better than me, it's my honor to share your majesty's worries, even if you die of exhaustion on the way, you can be regarded as doing your best. Whitebeard wanted to tease a few words, but he sighed as he spoke.

The thin old man was no longer in the mood to ridicule, and sighed deeply. "Well, I'm O'Lane, and I'm in a lot of trouble! Ladies and gentlemen, although Your Majesty didn't say anything more about this time, I have some guesses.

As far as I know, none of the observers in our Oraine territory have received the task, Your Majesty is worried that the observers who came this time will be biased!"

Another middle-aged man who looked like a martial artist continued with the thin old man's words and said, "What Master Dalaiqi said is reasonable, I'm afraid that the people who come this time will all be people from outside the territory, will they be those desert people?"

"Don't say it's all, even if there are one or two, I'm afraid the result won't be too good!" someone in the crowd sighed.

"You don't have to worry about that. Monroe put down his teacup and softly interrupted a chorus of concern.

Commander Monroe's lean short white hair looks domineering, but everyone knows that this strong man in the mercenary world is over 100 years old, and he just looks like he is in the prime of life.

Monroe's prestige was admired by all, although the title mercenary was often derogatory, and they were often synonymous with vulgarity, barbarism, and boasting.

But when a profession reaches its peak, it will also make people gradually ignore all the flaws. Monroe is one of those people.

As soon as the head of Monroe spoke, everyone also fell silent, as if just Monroe's words just now gave everyone a lot of psychological comfort.

Looking at everyone's somewhat eager eyes, Monroe chuckled and said, "You are all the best grandmasters of our Orion in various fields, but if you are well-informed, I'm afraid that I, an old mercenary, am better than me." ”

After hearing this, everyone gradually calmed down, and while waiting for the following, they complimented them over and over again.

"Excluding the unverifiable history of 10,000 years ago, there have been only two incidents about the killing of the heir in the past 10,000 years.

One is that two thousand years ago, the crown prince of the Shadow Empire died in their royal palace, and until now there has been no result. Another incident is that two hundred years ago, the heir of a kingdom close to the Middle Continent was assassinated. ”

It's not the first time anyone has heard of these two events, especially the first one. At that time, the Shadow Empire was just a small kingdom on the edge of the East Great Road, and it was really inconspicuous compared to a "behemoth" like Orion that had existed for 10,000 years.

If it weren't for the sudden exposure of the death of the crown prince in this small border country, I am afraid that many people would have forgotten about it.
