Chapter 478: The Dark Shadow of the White Hidden City (11)

"Xie Qi, the commander of the Imperial Dragon Army, that is the great cultivator of the Xuanji Lower Realm, he is only thirty-four years old this year, and he can be described as extremely talented, once my Divine Court also intended to absorb him, but Prince Bai Haoyue was clearly unwilling to let him go, and wanted to focus on cultivating him into a royal guardian, so he gave up." Lin Jue glanced at the palace beside him and said: "There are many other capable people in the Dragon Army, it stands to reason that since the emperor intends to flatter and wants to hand it over to my divine court for disposal, he must be strictly guarded, and there is no reason for this Leqi to escape." ”

"Could it be that there is something else wrong with this?" Shi Xinming asked.

"Naturally, something isn't quite right." Lin Jue didn't answer the chanting deacon's question, but turned his head and asked, "Skywalker, what do you think?" ”

Standing on the other side of Lin Jue was Sun Yeyu.

He didn't think about it for too long, and replied flatly: "That can only mean that someone deliberately let it go." The number one suspect is Xie Qi, and secondly, it may also be someone from the family, and of course there is a possibility... It is a member of the royal family. ”

Lin Jue nodded slightly, indicating that this was exactly the answer he wanted to hear.

In addition to the Divine Court, the Imperial Palace is naturally the most heavily guarded place in the Southern Jin Kingdom, with eight hundred imperial dragon troops, half of which are masters of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, and there are people like Xie Qi who are in command. In addition, Lin Jue also knew very well that the royal family must have one or two Xuanji masters secretly guarding them.

Under such guard, even if Na Leqi was a powerhouse in the Xuanji Middle Realm, the possibility of escaping alone was very small. It is more likely that there is a loophole in the internal guard. And those who have the ability to cause this loophole, Xie Qi, as the commander of the Dragon Army and the main person in charge of guarding Leqi, is naturally the most suspicious, and secondly, there are also people from the family in the Dragon Army, and with the means of the family, he is fully capable of letting go of a hole. In the same way, the emperor can't get rid of suspicion.

Shi Xinming glanced at Sun Yeyu, she didn't have much trust in this Skywalker, and even felt a little disgusted in her heart. However, there is already news circulating within the Divine Court, and this person has helped the Divine Court in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty a few days ago, and there is no problem with his position for the time being. Moreover, these Skywalkers do have some skills, and Sun Yeyu's answer also made her stunned.

She frowned slightly, and muttered: "If this is the case, the suspicion of wanting to come to the family is the greatest, after all, Leqi is the trace that escaped to the vicinity of the family's mansion." ”

"So far, that's true." Lin Jue opened his mouth and said, "But the suspicion of Xie Qi and the royal family cannot be erased. ”

"Xie Qi, I have already started to investigate his movements in the past few years, and I have not found anything abnormal for the time being. And the emperor ... He sacrificed a lot of loyal and powerful subordinates to capture this Leqi, and specially invited my divine court to get people, why did he let him go? Could it be that this emperor dares to play tricks on my divine court? Shi Xinming was a little incomprehensible.

Lin Jue narrowed his eyes and muttered, "If it is really the emperor's doing, it is not a joke, but a use." After saying this, he looked at Sun Yeyu again and asked, "Does Providence have guidance?" ”

Sun Yeyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he spoke: "Heaven's will vaguely pointed out that it is related to the family. ”

"The family, these big families that have taken root in the Southern Jin Dynasty, is it possible that they have something to do with the gods?" Shi Xinming's brows furrowed, and he said coldly: "It's just a few nobles who assist the Emperor Clan, is it possible that they think they have the same strength as those great families on the Fengyin Great Road?" Dare to be the enemy of my divine court! ”

Lin Jue exhaled lightly and said, "Let's go over and find out later." ”

Having said this, Shi Xinming was vigilant again, and said cautiously: "If it is really a certain family, or even several families, who join hands with the traitors to deal with our Divine Court, will it be as they wish if they are so reckless?" ”

"That's what they want." Lin Jue said calmly: "In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are just child's play. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xinming understood in his heart, and his complexion suddenly changed slightly, and in an instant, he thought that there must be a court master who had arrived in Jianye City. And Sun Yeyu's expression hasn't changed much, obviously

It is known from the main quest.

"But..."Lin Jue paused and said, "Be careful, the royal family still has to confirm again." ”

Shi Xinming asked, "How?" To monitor the Emperor's movements? ”

"No, you don't need to look for him, go to Prince Bai Haoyue. If the emperor really has a different heart, this prince is the key person. Lin Jue's mind was delicate, and he also thought of this, he said: "You go to meet Bai Haoyue, don't let others find out, ask me in detail how Leqi was arrested and how he escaped, and find out Bai Haoyue's attitude." Threats can be made when necessary. ”

"Okay, I'll do it." Shi Xinming turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" Sun Yeyu suddenly spoke and stopped Shi Xinming.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jue was not annoyed, he guessed that Sun Yeyu must have thought of something.

Sun Yeyu has naturally been secretly thinking about the relationship between the several major forces on the battlefield this time, and with the hint of the main quest, it will be much easier to smooth it out.

[Main Quest: Assist the Divine Court to clear Jianye City]

[Difficulty: Difficult]

[Mission: Assist the Divine Court to complete today's purge, kill the deputy leader of the rebels, Le Qi, and other gods who are hiding in the city, as well as the children of the family of the traitors.] Killing Leqi will declare the mission a success. If Zhu Qingchi, the master of the Divine Court, dies, or Le Qi escapes, the mission is declared a failure. 】

[Reward: 150 points, 20 credits]

[Additional content: If Zhao Si orders Lin Jue to survive, players on the side of the Divine Court can get an additional 50 points.] If the Punishment Division orders Li Manshan to survive, players on the side of the Divine Court can get an additional 50 points. Each time you kill a renegade, you will receive additional points: 10 points for the Lower Realm, 20 points for the Middle Realm, and 50 points for the Upper Realm. For each person killed by the Rebel Master, an additional 50 points will be awarded regardless of whether the player participates in person or not. 】

[Note: The Divine Court, the Seven Great Families, the Imperial Family, the Divine Beings and other forces have their own thoughts and gather to build Ye City, is it the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, or throwing themselves into the net? 】

Sun Yeyu found that in the content of the main quest, there was no mention of the royal family at all, but he didn't think that the position of the royal family in the current plot was not important. This place is the capital of Jianye Kingdom, and the royal faction is the most powerful person in this city, and the reason why the royal family does not appear in the mission content can only show that the royal family is neutral in the current plot, or that it has nothing to do with the main conflict. But if you can win over the royal family, you will naturally have a better chance of winning.

"We'd better win the support of the royal family." Sun Yeyu said: "If the royal family can help with all their might, we will have a better chance of winning. ”

Shi Xinming said disapprerovantly when he heard this: "Originally, the royal family caught Leqi and wanted to hand it over to us, and at this time, Leqi escaped from the palace, so he naturally wanted to help with all his might." If this emperor really doesn't want to use my divine court, we must let him give an explanation. ”

Sun Yeyu was silent for a moment, but still reminded: "No matter what, for the time being, we can't push the royal family to our opposite. ”

"He dares to be an enemy of my Divine Court?"

Lin Jue understood what Sun Yeyu meant, and reminded Shi Xinming: "According to what he said, don't be too anxious, you should be careful." ”

"We will not fail in our mission." Shi Xinming responded and left quickly.

Lin Jue glanced at Shi Xinming's departing back, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. It stands to reason that it has been nearly a thousand years since the founding of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and five hundred years ago, the Bai clan of the royal family also helped the Divine Court to kill the traitors, and there is no reason to have anything to do with the traitors. Even if it was really the emperor who deliberately let Le Qi go, it was nothing more than a calculation to deal with the family under the pretense of using the hand of the Divine Court, and he should not have the courage to gamble on the throne and be the enemy of the Divine Court.

Lin Jue exhaled lightly, took Sun Yeyu and the rest of the deacons of the Divine Court, and walked towards the mansion of the family.

......

Today's situation is grim, and several major families are naturally all over the eyeliner in Jianye City, and they have already noticed that the edict is coming, and the people of several major families are ready to greet it.

In the Xue family's mansion, the head of the Xue family ushered in a familiar guest.

"You mean, it's true that the Divine Court came to arrest Leqi, but it is also here to help the emperor deal with our families? This..."The head of the Xue family frowned, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this thing really sounds a little... Unreasonable. ”

Huo Zhenxiao said with a serious face: "It's not a day or two that our emperor is afraid of the power of our major families. ”

"I know that if it weren't for the fact that it weren't for the power of our family in the court, he wouldn't have given the prince so much power." The head of the Xue family naturally saw this issue clearly, but he still couldn't believe it: "But the Divine Court is high up and ignores the world, how can they help the royal family to deal with my family?" ”

"High up? Ignoring the world? Huo Zhenxiao also stood up from his seat and said seriously: "That's already a thing of the past, in the past six months, the Divine Court on the Fengyin Road has encroached on the interests of those great families, and has been united and hostile by several major families, and on the Source Law Continent, the Divine Court has helped the Lawson Empire fight against the coalition forces of several other countries. Even not long ago, in the land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Divine Court also helped several anti-kings to suppress the new emperor Ji Ruguang. You don't know that, do you? Since the gods fell silent and Skywalker came into the world, their divine court has long been no longer high, they have fallen into the earthly world. ”

As the head of the Xue family, he naturally knew all these things, so he was speechless for the time being, thinking in his heart.

Huo Zhenxiao continued: "Just talk about today's events, don't you think it's strange? Le Qi was a powerhouse in the Xuanji Middle Realm, and he was surrounded and suppressed by dozens of masters sent by the emperor, and it was only after so many deaths that he was finally caught. The emperor did not kill him, nor did he escort the Divine Court, but invited the Divine Court to come to Jianye City to lead the people. But Leqi, who had obviously been seriously injured, escaped from the heavily guarded palace, and the time was when the Divine Court had just arrived in Jianye City. And... He also said that he fled into our family's mansion. It's almost impossible. ”

The head of the Xue family nodded, and said lightly: "I naturally knew that there were some problems with today's affairs, but I didn't dare to think about it this way. I don't think the emperor, even if he is afraid of the strength of my family and intends to withdraw his authority, should not do such a presumptuous and absurd thing. He never thought that if he really knocked down our major families, half of the sky in the Southern Jin Dynasty would collapse? ”

"The Northern Qin Dynasty fell into civil strife, the Western Tang Dynasty also waded into troubled waters, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was even more chaotic. With the conceit of our Emperor, of course he can do such a thing! Huo Zhenxiao said solemnly: "Leqi is just a bargaining chip, the emperor will fully cooperate with the Divine Court to strangle the traitors, and the United Divine Court will attack several of our great families." Lin Jue is by no means the only one in Jianye City today, if you want me to say, there must be a court master present! ”

Xue Jiazhuang's face changed suddenly: "What? How could the court owner be out of the way because of such a thing!? ”

"We can't sit still, we have to be ready!" Huo Zhenxiao said: "If the Divine Court intends to frame our family and have something to do with the traitors, then we will be speechless, and maybe there is a danger of extinction!" Only if we work together can we get through this crisis! ”

"Are we going to be enemies of the Divine Court?"

"The knife is already hanging over our heads, can we still slaughter our necks!?" Huo Zhenxiao stared at the eyes of the head of the Xue family, and said coldly: "Lin Jue is coming soon, and the Dragon Dragon Army is also moving closer here, we can't hesitate any longer." ”

The palm of the head of the Xue family trembled slightly, revealing his inner struggle, but after all, as the head of the family, he knew that he could not hesitate at this time. After a while, he clenched his fists and nodded heavily: "Okay, if that Lin Jue is really aggressive, we will let him know that the family business of the Southern Jin Dynasty family for thousands of years is not something that can be easily destroyed by his dirty scheme!" ”
