Volume 1: The Dragon Swims in Shallow Water, The Dispute of a Hundred Kingdoms Chapter 43: The Royal Capital, the Royal Family

Great Chu State, royal capital, suburbs.

The wind is blowing, the twilight clouds are hanging low, the figures of three or two are as thin as cutting bamboo, the sunset is dimming, and the heaven and earth seem to be suddenly shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, making the suburbs of this royal capital indescribably desolate and desolate.

Coming out of Haiyun City, several people had been traveling for a day, tossing and turning all the way, and finally arrived at the royal capital before dark.

There are two sects in the Great Chu State, Haiyun and Shenyin, which are separated from the east and west of the royal capital, and there are about two days away.

Li Changan and his entourage, who have a grudge against the nineteen princes between the royal family of the Great Chu State, chose to pass through the royal capital, which seems to be quite a bit of a self-defeating net.

However, as Nie Xian said, the darkness under the lamp is the most unimaginable, and the Haiyun Sect must be pursuing in the rear at this time, rather than bothering about the detour, it is better to come to the king to be at ease.

In the entire Great Chu Kingdom, who doesn't know about the fact that Haiyun Sect and the royal family wear a pair of pants?

Having said that, but not to underestimate the people of the world, for the sake of conservatism, before entering the city, Nie Xian specially found three homeless people who settled outside the city, gave each of them a white coat and a hundred taels of silver, and told them to wear them outside the city at midnight to see the scenery, if anyone found out, just run.

After the explanation, the three of them went against the king's capital, and went around in a circle before entering the city one by one.

Leaving a small step in his hand, Mo Yanyu felt a little resistant in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage of others, even if he was given enough compensation.

He didn't know that in the hearts of Nie Xian and Li Changan, those three homeless people were already dead, and the only value was just to help them confuse the public and delay a little longer.

Of course, these things, neither Li Changan nor Nie Xian will take the initiative to explain, if one day Mo Yanyu suddenly sees through it, it is easy to understand everything, and if they don't understand, they won't care.

After all, neither of them is a good person.

Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want, the sky is long, who is this?

Each has its own way.

Wang Du is the most important place in a country, it is said to be the most prosperous place in the country of Great Chu, and it is absolutely deserved, although it is close to dark, it is still noisy, and there are fire trees and silver flowers everywhere.

A few people did not covet the excitement of mortal dust, and found a remote alley, lucky, in a house heard a pair of uncles and sisters-in-law discussing the origin of human beings, decisively knocked unconscious, thrown into the backyard, doves occupy the magpie's nest, is really not the slightest sense of guilt.

"Rest well, tomorrow should be a little tired. ”

Seeing that Mo Yanyu couldn't sit still and his mind was active, Nie Xian couldn't help but remind.

You don't have to think about it to know that Haiyun Sect has suffered such a big loss today, and it is inevitable to find a place, but even the Law Enforcement Hall is close to the entire army, and sending ordinary disciples to death is undoubtedly a matter of death.

Either they don't come, or they must be elder-level figures.

Don't look at it all in the Earth Mystery Realm, it may be an elder of Shanghai Yunzong, how can it be so simple, needless to say, the cultivation is stronger, at least they also have their own strengths, plus the polishing of the years, it is definitely more difficult to deal with than the hairy boy.

"I understand, Mr. Nie. ”

Mo Yanyu nodded, he was not a fool, he naturally knew the current situation, and the reason why he was excited was nothing more than the instinctive reaction of coming to the royal capital for the first time.

No matter what the current situation is, he is still a native of the Great Chu Kingdom, and when he first came to the royal capital, if he didn't react, it would be abnormal.

......

As the night deepened, and as the royal capital became quieter, a group of people woke up at the gate of the city.

"Who's coming?"

"Open the door! I am Qiu Wei, the second elder of the Haiyun Sect, and I have an urgent matter to enter the royal capital. Hearing the question, Qiu Weiwei drank, showed his token and shouted.

The soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off, and after checking that everything was correct, they immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and welcomed a group of Haiyun Sect elders into the city.

In the Haiyun Sect, because the royal family is actually in control behind the scenes, it is not like other sects to form gangs, and there is only one voice from top to bottom, which is very harmonious.

At least, that's what it looks like on the surface.

In addition to the sect master and the great elder, Qiu Wei, the second elder, was already the highest speaker.

Being able to send him out this time, and also sending ten inner door elders to accompany him, is enough to see how much attention the Haiyun Sect attaches to this matter, and will not give up until the goal is achieved.

Qiu Wei was also very aware of his task, and he didn't dare to delay and slack off in the slightest, so he chased after him all the way, but the thieves were cunning, and they were suspicious on the way, which consumed too much of their time.

In desperation, Qiu Wei could only enter the royal capital first, resting is one thing, and asking for help from the royal family is also another.

You must know that Haiyun Sect can also be regarded as a royal property, but now that it is humiliated, if the culprit is not found, the face of the royal family is not good-looking.

His face was a little gloomy, and after arranging the residence of the elders, Qiu Wei hurriedly entered the palace, there was an identity token, and there was no obstacle along the way, and he saw the main lord - His Royal Highness the Prince!

Chu Feng, the prince of the East Palace, is twenty-nine years old, has a fourfold surface cultivation of the earth, is talented, intelligent, and gentle, and is one of the hottest figures in the competition for Dabao, with many supporters, almost half of the court.

The other half supported the Nine Emperor Princes, Chu Wenjie, and a small group remained neutral.

Chu Feng has an extraordinary face, is extremely handsome, and with a gentle and elegant personality, he is very affinity, and he is also very satisfied with his character and tries his best to maintain it.

However, in the recent period, Chu Feng was a little unhappy, and his face was stiff every day.

Because, he received the news that Chu Le's guy died outside when he went out of the palace to have fun.

In fact, for Chu Feng himself, Chu Le's death has no effect, but the key is that this guy is a person on his side.

The follower is falling, Chu Feng is the crown prince, and countless people under him are looking at him, and it is difficult to track it down casually.

It's okay if you don't investigate, but once you investigate, the whole case is full of weirdness.

For example, Chu Le had just been out of the palace once, and according to his previous habits, he had to stay for a few days, but that time he went out the next day.

Another example is that he had a conflict with someone in the inn, but he died outside the city, but the time of death was different from the corpse.

There are many suspicious points, in fact, there is no need to check, Chu Feng can also guess that there must be the involvement of Chu Wenjie, the Nine Emperor Princes, as for whether he arranged the game in advance or joined temporarily halfway, it is difficult to guess.

Under a lot of pressure, Chu Feng has been running around for this matter for the past few days, and he is about to lock down the real culprit, but before he has received a message from his subordinates, Qiu Wei of Haiyun Sect has brought him another annoying news.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is how it happened, please help me with His Royal Highness the Prince!" Qiu Wei saluted and pleaded.

"How do you want me to help you?" Chu Feng was very annoyed, but he had to deal with it seriously.

In his position, Chu Wenjie is undoubtedly much busier than the Ninth Emperor Prince, and the Chu Emperor will ask him about major events in the court, and some annoying twists and turns will also be reviewed by him.

In the name of beauty, it is to cultivate him in advance, but Chu Feng knows very well that he is not the only candidate in the mind of Emperor Chu, and he thinks about it in his heart every day.

Even, because he accidentally mishandled a few small things, in the heart of Emperor Chu, his status has begun to decline.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need for anything else, just need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to convey a few orders, and put a reward in the city, so that a few thieves have nowhere to hide, and his subordinates will personally kill him. ”

For Chu Feng, these requirements were indeed very easy, and his appearance looked a little better now, and he was afraid that Qiu Wei would directly transfer the task of arresting him.

"Well, I know, I'll let someone convey it later, at most tomorrow morning, the road from the royal capital to the Shenyin Sect will be full of bounties, you go, just leave a portrait. ”

"Yes. Qiu Wei nodded and stepped back respectfully.

The people of Haiyun Sect have an unwritten rule that before entering the court, it is forbidden to participate in anything in the court, and because of this, Qiu Wei respects Chu Feng, if he is changed to Chu Wenjie, the ninth prince, he will have the same attitude, and he will never flatter.

At least, not for the time being.

Without delay, Chu Feng immediately drafted the text and asked his subordinates to go out with the portrait to run errands.

There was only Chu Feng left in the hall, and I don't know how long it took, Chu Feng suddenly spoke, "Thirteen, how can the Chu army reply?"

A figure emerged from the shadows, standing respectfully behind him, like a ghost, but Chu Feng did not react, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, the second prince said that he still needs to think about it. The figure called Thirteen replied.

Chu Feng was obviously not satisfied with this reply, and his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly.

As early as a few months ago, Chu Feng's secret guard suddenly came with news, saying that the second prince who was far away in the northern battlefield seemed to be interested in standing in line, and when he got the news, Chu Feng sent someone to confirm it as soon as possible, and the news was true.

But it's been a few months, and he hasn't clearly stated his attitude, which really makes it difficult for him to think about it too much, could it be that Chu Jun has already been mixed up with Chu Wenjie?

"You say, what does Chu Jun mean, what he has done recently is not quite like the second brother in my impression, is it possible that he has stayed in the northern battlefield for a long time, and can he still exercise his mental power? I don't want the enemy to pop up one after another. ”

"Forgive the offense of the subordinates, according to the subordinates, this possibility can be ignored, if the second prince really has an idea, it is the best opportunity when the monarch establishes the prince, after all, the second prince was deeply popular at that time, so many years have passed, and now the situation in the court has changed, and His Royal Highness's biggest opponent is the Nine Emperors. ”

"The second prince's move, maybe more for self-preservation, after all, he is not afraid of death, but his subordinates are not necessarily, in order to prevent being liquidated in the future, it is not an inevitable choice to stand in advance, and it is precisely because of caution that he does not dare to make up his mind. ”

Reasonable, Chu Feng nodded slightly.

After talking so much, Thirteen seemed to be quite tired, and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"That's right, it's a pity that my good second brother is too naΓ―ve, and it's precious to send charcoal in the snow, and the icing on the cake is not so grateful. ”

Chu Feng's smile appeared, and he returned to his gentle and elegant appearance, and he was confident, if he knew, at this time, this similar conversation was also being staged in the palace of the Nine Emperor Princes, Chu Wenjie, I don't know what kind of feeling it would be.

......

On the other hand, with the support of the crown prince Chu Feng, Qiu Wei undoubtedly acted much more conveniently, and in order to save trouble, he directly dispatched a team of soldiers to search in the city.

It was midnight, and before the soldiers had finished searching, they suddenly received a report that three people had been found outside the city, dressed in white, and it was very likely that they were looking for them.

Qiu Dawei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate, and it didn't take much effort to arrest the three suspicious people.

When he brought it to the front to see his appearance, Qiu Daxi completely turned into anger, this is just a few fakes!

When things came to this point, Qiu Wei didn't understand that he had been put together, and the anger in his heart became more and more turbulent.

"My lord is wronged, we really don't know anything, this dress was given to us by three young men in the evening, and gave us a hundred taels of silver, let us go to the city gate for a few walks, we really don't know anything else. ”

Without waiting for torture, several homeless people had already confessed everything they knew, after all, apart from this incident, nothing bad had happened to them.

"What about the three of them, have they entered the city?"

"No, they gave us the clothes and went south, laughing and saying to keep the fools busy. ”

Chi Guoguo's ridicule was like a winner playing with the loser's IQ, Qiu Wei was angry from his heart, and directly slapped the three of them.

Long before he came, he had received some information about Li Chang'an and several people, and knew that one of them had some brains.

Yes, Qiu Wei felt that the most dangerous place was the safest place, and maybe those people would enter the royal capital in reverse thinking.

But now it seems that after all, the man is still a step ahead, and he guessed that he would think so, so he didn't go into the city directly.

Depend on!

The greatest sorrow is when you think you are very smart, and suddenly you suddenly find that you are a complete fool, and you are being toyed with and applauded.

After losing invisibly for a while, Qiu Wei's face was hot and uncomfortable, as if he had been slapped by someone, and he turned around and left angrily.

"My lord, are you still searching?" asked a soldier cautiously.

Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, at this time, in front of Qiu Wei, this matter is undoubtedly to reveal the scar on the spot, and the spiritual power in his body surges, and he can't wait to slap this soldier to death.

Holding back the killing intent and kicking away the soldiers, Qiu Wei roared angrily, "Get out, whoever wants to search for it, just go, you can't find it out tomorrow morning!"
