Chapter 438: Turmoil
The moon is dark and the wind is high, I'm afraid it's a murderous night.
Lin Ruo had been in this cell for a long time.
These days, he can always feel the atmosphere outside getting weird.
The bright moon outside the sky was smeared with a layer of blood red.
It's like a murderous lurk.
Looking at the flowers in the moon, it seems that someone in the sky is peeping here.
Lately, he's been feeling very uncomfortable. Even before eating, I will try this meal with a silver needle.
This silver needle was also brought to him by Lin Yin when he came in to see him.
At the beginning, he was still thinking about what to do with this silver needle, but now he understands it.
Some people regard him as a thorn in the flesh and want to execute him in every possible way.
The last time Lin Yin saw him was a month ago.
And in the past month, Lin Yin has not appeared again.
Bai Changning did not stay in the same cell/cell with him, but stayed next door to him.
Xu Wei leaned against the wooden fence and said to Bai Changning.
"Is there still time?" Xu Wei was naturally talking about the soul bead necklace.
During this period of time, he could also feel the soul power in the soul bead necklace gradually dissipating.
"If you go out now, you can still have time, and it may not be delayed."
Bai Changning also had some doubts in his heart, when they were locked up at the beginning, it seemed that they were dead, and they would definitely die.
However, in the end, they were just locked up here, and they didn't look like prisoners but more like VIPs with good food and wine on weekdays.
And that time Lin Yin came over in person, which made him feel so much.
Unlikely they will die?
But the big problem now is that if you can't get out, then all this is useless.
They had to go out because the man still needed them to save him.
And for Bai Changning, his future is also completely pinned on that person.
That person is the third prince of the Xingsha Empire - Lin Mengxi.
"And when do you think we'll be able to get out?" In fact, Lin Ruo also wanted to go out.
But now the question is, can they really get out in the face of heavy guards?
I'm afraid that if I get out of this prison by luck, I will be found immediately, and I will be arrested/taken by everyone.
At this moment, Lin Ruo especially missed Ying Zixu, who he knew when he was in the place of execution.
If Ying Zixu was here, maybe he could use his dream to leave quietly.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Thinking of Ying Zixu, Lin Ruo suddenly had a feeling that time had flown by.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
He didn't know what was happening to Ying Zixu and his brother now.
"I don't know, the guards here are like an impregnable wall, and more importantly, my strength is completely restrained."
Not only Bai Changning's strength was restrained, but also Lin Ruo's strength.
The two of them were in a dull state when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
The sound was almost mournful, and then the bell rang between heaven and earth.
When Bai Changning heard the news, his face changed.
"How is that possible?"
Hearing Bai Changning's strange voice, and seeing Bai Changning's pale face again, Lin Ruo had a bad premonition in his heart.
"What happened? You don't look good? ”
"The bell rings 30,000, the sound is the same sorrow, there is no old master in the world, and the new king has ascended ten thousand steps!"
Hearing Bai Changning's inexplicable recitation of the poem, Lin Ruo was even more confused.
"I can speak human words, how can I listen to this poem and feel weird." Lin Ruo was a little frightened when he heard this, but he didn't understand what Bai Changning was talking about?
"Lin Yin is dead!"
Bai Changning's words suddenly made Lin Ruo stunned.
The cold wind outside came in through the small window, and the cold light was so cold.
Bai Changning's words were like a joke, he was only revived more than a month ago, and he was also very strong when he saw him last time, how could he say that he was dead?
"You're kidding, hehe, don't be scary!"
"The 30,000 bells refer to the fact that after the death of the king of the Xingsha Empire, there were 30,000 bells ringing in the entire Xingsha City, and each bell was extremely sad, as if the world was destroyed."
Bai Changning muttered to himself.
He had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Turning his head to Lin Ruo, he said, "No matter what method we use, we must leave here as soon as possible, this is already a place of right and wrong." ”
Lin Ruo didn't doubt Bai Changning's assertion here.
When he heard Bai Changning talk about the news that Lin Yin was dead here, he already had this feeling in his heart.
It's just that he can't forget the old man, a month ago, the old man was still talking to him affectionately, and said that he was very similar to his third son Lin Mengxi, and now, from other people's mouths, this old man has died.
I don't know why, there is some sadness in his heart inexplicably.
Even if this old man once issued twelve imperial decrees to let him die, but these were just bewitched by others at the beginning.
On this side, Bai Changning's words had just fallen, and the sound of chaotic footsteps had already resounded outside.
These are the people who came and tried to kill them.
Sure enough, Xue Wangzu and the others were still unwilling to let him go.
Even if he hadn't seen anyone before, it was not difficult for Lin Ruo to guess who was coming to kill them, and only Xue Wangzu and the others could have a feud.
……
The eldest prince, Lin Yao, sat on the table, and his face did not show any expression.
The bell outside has nothing to do with him.
Until his men brought a white suit and placed it beside him.
"Your Royal Highness, after changing clothes, we should also enter the palace."
"Hmm." The eldest prince said indifferently.
The endless sorrow and joy in his ears lingered in his ears.
For him, this should be a joyful thing, but at the moment, he can't be happy.
The throne means a lot to him, but he may not be able to easily let go of the old father-son friendship.
"Father, if you had passed on the throne to me as soon as possible, you would not have ended up in this world!"
On the road ahead, the eldest prince Lin Yao became more and more determined, and now he was about to walk to the palace.
There is no one in this world who will not be left without an owner for a day.
But for now, there will be no one more suitable than him.
……
"Katsuo, what's going on with this bell?"
Bai Qian originally slept very comfortably, but the inexplicable bell rang, completely extinguishing her dream, and she was a little irritable in her heart, and wanted to scold.
But it was counterbalanced by the wailing of the bells.
She felt a little too ordinary, so she asked Ji Shengnan on the side.
Ji Shengnan has been living in the same room with her.
She looked at Ji Shengnan.
And Ji Shengnan also frowned, how could she not understand?
The bell here will easily not ring unless something big happens.
For Ji Shengnan, what this continuous bell means, she couldn't be clearer.
The king of the Xingsha Empire, Lin Yin, has died.
This once-invincible king has finally passed away today.
No matter how powerful a person is, he can't withstand the erosion of time after all.
Ji Shengnan didn't speak, just looked through the window at the eldest prince who was walking towards the palace.
Once, when her father died, her eldest brother and second emperor brother fought for the throne, and after she left, she never returned to the realm of phantoms, and she did not know who won the throne in the end.
Now, if she was to believe that the death of Lin Yin on this side would not cause any disputes, she would never believe it.
This is true of all royal families, and there is no chance of surprises.
……
The bell rang for a long time.
The people outside the Imperial City of Xingsha City heard this bell, and they were all stunned in place in an instant.
Then he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
It's just that no matter how loud they shout, the person in their mouth is dead.
Slogans do not equal facts, they can only be regarded as self-hypnosis.
But now, everyone knows that they have only one thing to do right now.
White silk in front of the door, no laughter, until the new emperor ascends the throne!
The eldest prince should ascend the throne as emperor!
In their hearts, only the eldest prince is the next king.
If it was in the past, there was a third prince Lin Mengxi.
But 6 years ago, the third prince Lin Mengxi had already died, and as for the second prince Lin Xiao, they never thought that he would be suitable to become a king.
After seven days, a new king will ascend the throne.
……
"The timing was just right."
Xue Deren stayed in bed for a month.
I knew I just got out of bed today.
What he was waiting for was today.
"Master, it won't be found out!"
Xue Deren looked at Xue Gui and knew that Xue Gui was kind.
Xue Gui has been with him for decades, and he has been by his side since he was a teenager.
At that time, he had not yet become the head of the Xue family.
And if there is anything to do, he usually leaves it to Xue Gui to do.
Xue Gui's ability to do things also made him particularly relieved, otherwise he would not have been by his side all these years.
"Find out, maybe, right? But the problem is that most of the people in the palace are our people, and if there is really anything wrong at that time, everything will be pushed to Chang Baishu. ”
Xue Deren said with a smile: "It's a pity, I just let Chang Baishu and the others save it once, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago." ”
Stop talking and look outside.
The mournful tone of the bell sounded, and he put on a coat and went outside.
"My king, Lin Yin, I'm sorry, in the end, you are one step ahead of me, I still want to see the glory and wealth of this world, and watch the Xue family reach the top? I'm sorry, my friend. ”
Xue Deren thought in his heart, and there was a hint of triumph under his gaze.
The evening breeze blew, and the line of sight stretched out infinitely: "Wangzu has already taken people to the prison/prison." ”
"Yes, the little master brought someone over."
"Well, you must kill them, they have already let people sabotage the plan once, and I don't want people to sabotage the second operation, or the same people."
He used to want to kill Lin Ruo and Bai Changning and the others, but he knew very well what it meant for Lin Yin to send Lin Ruo and Bai Changning to prison/prison?
Lin Yin found some clues.
But for now, it was undoubtedly too late, and he couldn't give Lin Yin such a long reaction time.
"By the way, how is the investigation of Lin Xiao and Chang Baishu, who I asked you to investigate recently."
Xue Deren once again thought of the other two people.
These two men are a little more troublesome than the two people in prison/cell.
Those two people weren't just going to be assassinated.
If you have too many hands and feet, I'm afraid you'll show your feet, but it's okay, anyway, the overall situation has been decided.
It was already doomed when Lin Yin died.
"I investigated, but I couldn't investigate it at all, I couldn't find their information at all, as if the world had evaporated."
"Really?" For Xue Gui's side to investigate nothing, he was not angry.
Because he had investigated before, but he didn't find any deeds, and now Xue Gui can't investigate it, just as he thought.
……
"Uncle Chang Baishu!"
Lin Xiao had a smile on his face, and he didn't feel the slightest sadness because of Lin Yin's passing.
"The second prince seems to be very happy." Chang Baishu looked at Lin Xiao.
"His age has also arrived, and death is nothing more than a relief, and he has already arranged everything, hasn't he?"
Lin Xiao found a place to sit down.
He poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and rolled his eyes: "The name on it, I hope you will change it at the end." ”
"How can you be sure it's going to be your name."
Chang Baishu had a smile on his face and looked at Lin Xiao with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be my name, anyway, I won't recognize it when I read it, haha......"
For Lin Xiao, he will never care about everything around him, just laugh if he wants.
looked at Chang Baishu and looked at him like this.
Lin Xiaowaner: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, in the prison/prison, your two scapegoats, you don't save them, otherwise they will die, and then what your father asked you to do, you can't do it." ”
"You really know everything! It's a pity that your heart is not in this place, otherwise you are undoubtedly the most suitable person. ”
"Forget it, everyone is suitable, but I'm not suitable, I'm leaving, but you have to protect the two people in the prison/prison."
Chang Baishu said with a smile.
He watched Lin Xiao leave the room, sighed, and then turned to look at the things he had placed on the cabinet.
Let this stuff be left here, no one can move it without his permission anyway.
It's starting to get a little buzzy outside.
But when he came back, he had already thought of this situation.
I came back to take the blame.
Pushing open the window, the dark shadows that had been outside just now were gone.
Those people have clearly begun to act, and they seem impatient. 、
But they are inevitably a little too obvious, do they really feel that they have won the game?
If that's the case, it's a bit too boring.
He yawned slightly, then closed the window and sat down in his chair and fell asleep.
You can fall asleep as long as you sit in a chair, or sleep with your eyes open.
The imperial city is volatile, and turmoil is coming, and some people just need to wait and see what happens, and some people will be the protagonists of this cholera.
Chang Baishu knows that he is not the protagonist, he is just pushing, that's all.
