"And what does this have to do with the Assassin......s? But it can't be. ”

Ling Xuan thought of a possibility, but immediately shook his head and denied it, the family has always acted by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no troubles, and there will definitely be no fish that slip through the net.

"Don't worry, listen to me. Situ Wen said with a smile, and then he changed his words, "Your Highness hasn't been to my house for a while, and you have been playing chess with me, can you go to my house and play another game?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey, I have long wanted to play chess with my grandfather, but I have never had time. ”

Ling Xuan looked at the courtiers around him who were curiously looking at this side because the two of them stopped, but because Situ Wen was very powerful, coupled with Ling Xuan's noble status, no one dared to come over.

He understood that what was going to be said below might be the reason why the royal family and the family issued the gag order, and this was obviously not the place to speak.

Ling Xuan and Situ Wen walked to a carriage, both boarded the carriage, and without saying a word all the way, the carriage ran slowly to an extremely solemn and prosperous mansion, and the plaque in front of the door was written with three big characters with iron paintings and silver hooks - Xiangguo Mansion.

These three words exude a shocking momentum, looking at the world, majestic in all directions, making people involuntarily rise up to surrender to the mind, it is said that this plaque is the ancestor of the Situ family when he became the god of the dynasty, the ancestor Linghua himself wrote.

Although Ling Guo has Ouyang Yuan, the right minister, the people only recognize Situ Wen, the left minister, and think that he is the Xiangguo lord of Ling State.

"Alas, the old man is ashamed of his ancestors and insults the glory of his ancestors. ”

After Situ Wen got off the carriage, he looked at the plaque in front of the mansion and was stunned.

"I think my grandfather will definitely be able to reproduce the grand occasion of the Situ family back then, and make the Situ family the second only to the Ling royal family. ”

Ling Xuan comforted from the side.

The two of them both entered the Xiangguo Mansion, and the Xiangguo Mansion had a very strong bookish atmosphere, and the books collected by the Situ family over 100,000 years could be said to be richer than Wenyuan Pavilion.

The two sat opposite each other in the study, with a chessboard in the middle, but the black and white twins were on Situ Wen's side, and the black and white twins kept falling on the chessboard in Situ Wen's hands.

"This is the war forty years ago?"

Ling Xuan looked at the two sides fighting in the chess game, at first he didn't understand what his grandfather meant, but with the fight on the chessboard, he understood that Heizi represented the Ling army back then, and Baizi was the alliance of all countries.

The sunspot formed a momentum of encirclement, and it could devour the white son at any time, and at this time, Situ Wen had an extra white child in his hand, Ling Xuan looked at it seriously, he knew that maybe this was the real reason why the Ling Kingdom lost the war forty years ago and the Shen family disappeared.

The white piece fell on the ninety-five position, which was precisely the center of the sunspot, and the situation on the chessboard changed instantly, the white son slayed the dragon, and the sunspot was defeated.

"At that time, there was a rebellion within the Ling Kingdom, and it was a member of the Five Great Families, but why did the Five Great Families still exist now?"

The doubts in Ling Xuan's heart were one after another, although this game of chess explained the reason for Ling Guo's defeat, but more doubts came up.

"The people of the five great families did gather the soldiers of their respective fiefdoms, but not for rebellion, but to quell the rebellion. ”

Situ Wen sneered, his eyes full of disdain and hatred for the five great families.

"Suppressing the rebellion?" Ling Xuan was puzzled, "Could it be the Shen family's ......?" This is impossible, if the oath witnessed by the Chixiao Sword is violated, there will definitely be a price. ”

"At that time, all the armies of the imperial family were fighting against the allied forces of the countries on the battlefield, and the stability of all parts of the country was handed over to the Shen family to maintain to prevent the countries from disturbing the rear and affecting the morale of the army. ”

But this gave the five great families an opportunity, when the five great families booby-trapped the head of the Shen family, and then framed the Shen family for rebellion, and then gathered the army and ordered to kill all the bloodlines of the Shen family. ”

"At that time, when the first emperor learned of this, he was furious and ordered to end the peace talks with the countries as soon as possible, but at this time, the countries abandoned the peace talks and turned to attack our army. ”

"The Shen family perished, our army's heavy grain and grass could not be supplied on time, morale was low, our army was defeated by the fierce offensive of the coalition forces of the countries, and returned defeated, and the coalition forces of the countries even hit the imperial capital. ”

"In the end, if it weren't for the joint arrival of the powerhouses of the four domains of the Demon Clan, coupled with the pressure of the Imperial Pavilion, I am afraid that my Ling Kingdom would be destroyed. Even so, our Ling State still ceded the twenty-three counties of the three continents, so as to avoid the danger of losing the country. ”

Situ Wen's voice was choked, and his face showed pain, witnessing with his own eyes that his country, from a hegemon with the intention of dominating the world, declined overnight to the point that he could only avoid the destruction of the country by ceding land and seeking peace, and no one could bear this blow.

"Later, we learned that the alliance of the countries had reached an agreement with the five great families at the time of the peace talks, disrupting the rear of the empire, damaging the morale of our army, and dividing the country after the matter was completed. ”

As for the Four Domains of the Demon Clan, Ling Xuan had read a biography of the Demon Clan in the Wenyuan Pavilion. The demon clan is divided into the Dragon Domain, the Phoenix Domain, the Ape Spirit Domain, and the Xuanwu Sacred Domain.

The Phoenix Domain is controlled by the Phoenix Clan, who dominate all kinds of birds and monsters in the world.

The ape spirit realm is led by the ape clan, commanding all the land beasts in the world.

The Xuanwu Sacred Domain is dominated by the Xuanwu clan, managing all aquatic monsters in rivers, lakes and seas.

As for the Dragon Domain, it is naturally respected by the Dragon Clan, suppressing the other three domains, and is a veritable Lord of the Demon Clan.

"This assassin is the one who was good friends with the Shen family back then?"

After Ling Xuan comforted his grandfather, he suddenly asked.

"There was indeed a person named [Wang Xian] back then, who had a bad relationship with the Shen family, and even killed dozens of clansmen from the five major families as revenge, but the person who appeared in the imperial capital this time was definitely not him. ”

Situ Wen's tone was affirmative, unquestionable, paused, and continued, "This assassin was the only clansman left in this world by the Shen family back then. ”

"How is this possible? How could the people of the Five Great Families leave such a trouble?"

Ling Xuan felt incredible, he didn't want this descendant of the Shen family to die and the Shen family's bloodline to be cut off, but this was not in line with the family's code of conduct at all.

"If the five great families don't know that the Shen family still has bloodline left in the world, then what?"

Situ Wen looked at Ling Xuan with a smile on his face, and sighed that his grandson was too young after all, and he didn't know much about most things.

"How is this possible!"

Ling Xuan shouted in a lost voice, you must know that although the secret guards of the five great families are not as good as the [Obsidian] of the imperial family, their ability is also unquestionable, otherwise the five great families would not have existed for so many years and stood tall.

"The royal family and the Shen family have made an oath under the Chixiao Divine Sword, and if the oath is not completed, where will the person who made the oath disappear. Situ Wen said with a smile.

"Chixiao Sword used great strength to transform an arbor outside the Zangfeng Pavilion into the appearance of the young son of the Shen family, and used the technique of transferring flowers and grafting trees to swap the young son of the Shen family with the arbor, which saved the young son who was just born to the head of the Shen family at that time. ”

Situ Wen was amazed by the power of the Chixiao Divine Sword, this was just when the Divine Ancestor had not yet become a god, all the swords had such a powerful power, and his awe for the Divine Ancestor deepened again.

In other words, this assassin was the youngest son of the Shen family back then. ”

Ling Xuan frowned and said, he didn't have much reverence for the Divine Ancestor, the two of them had a friendly and cordial conversation six years ago, if you didn't count the second meeting, the four sword lights.

"Yes, he is the youngest son of the Shen family, and the five great families still think that [Wang Xian] came to the imperial capital to avenge the Shen family, but they don't know that it is the real descendants of the Shen family who have come to them to collect debts. ”

Situ Wen's face was relaxed, and it was also a joy to see the five great families suffer.

"Then this matter is in trouble!"

Ling Xuan rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache, this descendant of the Shen family had fallen to this point because of the royal family, his family was ruined, and he was living alone in the world, obviously he couldn't be caught in the prison.

But if you don't do this, you will be cut off after that month, and you will be dismissed, which is really a bad choice.

"This matter is up to you, and you can only solve it yourself. ”

Situ Wen gloated and said, he has a month to prepare, even if he can't catch the descendants of the Shen family after a month, he has a way to save the three of them, no, it's four people, it's inevitable to suffer a little, but Han Feng, it's okay to let him suffer a little.

Although Han Feng did not have a military order, the five great families would definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack the power of the royal family, and there would be a good show to watch when the time came.

......

At this time, sitting in the main hall of Dali Temple, Lord Zhengqing, who was cursing Ling Xuan in a low voice, suddenly sneezed a few times.

"What's the matter? Could it be that Your Majesty knows what I scolded Ling Xuan?" Han Feng rubbed his nose and said in a humming voice.

"Forget it, I'd better investigate the case honestly, Ling Xuan, you kid, don't let me find a chance to fix you. ”

Han Feng resignedly looked at the files of Yu Wenming and Su Sheng in front of him, the more he looked at Han Feng, the more interesting he felt, and in the end, he laughed out loud regardless of his image.

The officials of Dali Temple who passed in front of the hall looked at Han Feng, who was laughing, and shook their heads helplessly, this adult has always been profligate, I really don't know how His Majesty would let him serve as the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, this is a three-grade official position, and it already belongs to the high-level of the court.

Which of the third-grade officials is not middle-aged in their thirties, only this one is the exception, but they forgot that there was a six-year-old member of the second-grade imperial court six years ago, but that person's official position obviously has no sense of existence.

......

Ling Xuan didn't know that he was being remembered by the dignified Dali Temple Zhengqing, but even if he knew, he shouldn't care too much.

He is walking on the streets of the imperial capital at the moment, experiencing the prosperity of the imperial capital, Ling State is located in the center of the Chinese realm, east of the three sects, west of the four regions of the demon clan, most of the transactions between the human race and the demon clan are completed in the territory of the Ling country.

The Ling State ceded the twenty-three counties of the three continents, and its national strength still ranked at the peak of the Nine Kingdoms, in addition to the strong heritage and the monarch's hard work, it was because of the trade between the human race and the demon race.

"When it's okay, it's good to go out for a walk and relax. ”

Ling Xuan wandered around the imperial capital aimlessly, of course, he would never admit that he was distracted in the imperial capital because there was no carriage to go.
