Chapter 113: The Name of Dawn
Liangwangfu, Swallow Dock.
The calm surface of the lake gradually turned from black to blue, and a wooden curtain was lifted, and the black and gold palace robes looked particularly eye-catching in the morning curtain.
In the leaky wind, Duguce tightened his collar, his eyes stayed on the row of swallows standing on the eaves, and a thin letter was folded between his fingers, and he said to himself: "The swallows haven't come back yet, it seems that something has gone wrong." β
With a sigh, the black hair gently slid down his neck and shoulders, Dugu Ce's brows seemed to wrinkle slightly, and then slowly soothed, and he said calmly and indifferently: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Liang needs to accept a new concubine, and Yu De, the ancestor of the Zhao family, is not enough." β
Duguce gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, burning the letter point in his hand, not far away, the figure of several mute eunuchs came over, he looked down at the paper ashes that had burned on the ground, wiped his feet, and let the passing wind blow into the lake.

"Your Highness, I have received a message from His Highness Snow Phoenixγγγγγγ I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. β
His Royal Highness King Liang nodded, looking at the swaying sparks on the wick, he sat in silence for a while, and then slowly stood up, the sky outside the window seemed to be faintly dark, it was the time when night and day alternated, and the indescribable loneliness and coldness permeated the air.
"Can it be saved?" King Liang asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it's extremely difficult, even if I can save it, I'm afraid it will be a corpse." Duguce lowered his head, stared at the ground intently, and his tone tried not to have the slightest subjective color: "Judging from the information I have obtained so far, for some reason, the best rescue time has passed. β
"Some reasons?" King Liang stared at Duguce, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
"Yes, Mansion Lord Zhao didn't report it at the first time, I was afraid that he wanted to solve it himself and suppress it, but unfortunately, the strength of the thief was really beyond his expectations, so that at this moment, not only did he not save His Highness Snow Phoenix, but he also had the trace of the thief." Duguce's tone paused slightly, and added: "If my expectations are correct, I'm afraid even the traces have been completely lost." β
King Liang rubbed the bridge of his nose, his eyes were like a black sea that could not see through the depths, and the corners of his mouth gently hooked a meaningful arc, but he said lightly: "Save my sister's heart, even if it is mixed with a little selfishness, it is understandable, what does Mr. think?" β
Dugu Ce didn't answer immediately, but seemed to think for a while, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Ce thinks that you can see more directly and transparently by not looking at the process of everything, but only looking at the results." β
"The thief will be killed, whether the Lord of the Zhao Mansion will give him benevolent comfort or severe punishment, it is all up to His Highness's will, and the whole thing will be spread out, and it will only hurt his face at most for His Highness." Duguce gritted his teeth and said: "The top priority is to choose another princess Liang to ensure the smooth holding of the wedding." β
"And the impact it will have is a matter that needs to be considered whether it will make the Lord of Zhao have dislike and even resentment in his heart, if not, His Highness can take measures to appease; If so, then γγγγγ Duguce raised his head, and the cruelty in his eyes made his heart palpitate, "Centrifugal people are not enough to keep secrets, let alone trust half a point." β
Tapping his fingertips on the table a few times, King Liang seemed to think of something, and couldn't help sneering softly, and asked, "What's the matter with the thief?" β
"Xiao, that's the name of the organization." Dugu Ce's expression was slightly strange, and there seemed to be an intriguing look in the eccentricity, "Your Highness may not have heard of it, but in fact, γγγγγ Hehe, it's not the first time I've been in contact with Ce. β
"Oh?" King Liang showed a look of surprise on his face, and chuckled, as if he was interested.
"Qingyun Sect doesn't know if His Highness is a little impressed?" Dugu Ce replied, "The leader of the organization is Qin Hao, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect that has been destroyed. β
"Qingyun Sect?" King Liang took a sip of tea lightly, feeling that the name seemed to be a little familiar, it should have been heard before, but it shouldn't be too important, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he couldn't remember it at the moment.
"It's just the sect master of a three-rank sect, it used to be like thisγγγγγγ At the time, Ce didn't pay attention to it, but now it seems that it was Ce's mistake. Duguce sighed and pleaded guilty.
"It's okay, it's just a small shrimp, it's normal not to enter Mr.'s eyes, even if it is a mistake or omission, it can still turn over the river and the sea, this time Mr., just dispose of it together." King Liang smiled faintly, and expressed his understanding very much, after all, a person of their status, a sect master of the original Sanpin Sect, is really just an ant, and he can be crushed to death at will, and it is normal behavior not to deliberately pay attention to it.
"In this way, the capture of the snow phoenix this time is a planned revenge action by the thieves?" King Liang smiled coldly: "Interesting, this king hasn't met a guy who dares to take revenge on this king for a long time." β
Although he was laughing, the coldness in his words made the temperature around him seem to drop to freezing in an instant.
Dugu Ce didn't answer immediately, his expression suddenly became more strange, and he said in a deep voice: "This point, Ce can't be sure yet, judging from the limited information, it is not ruled out that the original target of this 'Xiao' organization was not His Highness the Snow Phoenix, and His Highness the Snow Phoenix's captivity was more like a temporary act." β
"Oh, that's even more interesting." King Liang stood up and walked out with his hands in his hands, but his voice gradually became cold: "It's even more bold, what does Mr. Duguce think?" β
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the policy will be taken care of." Duguce bowed down and replied in a deep voice.
It was from this moment that the gaze from the Liangwang Mansion really fell on an organization called "Xiao", and fell on a bold bandit leader, Qin Hao.
And it was from this moment that the organization of "Xiao" began to truly break into the stage of this level of the world with an incredible, unreasonable and domineering head, and began to attract the attention of the most first-class princes, sects, and family organizations one after another.
and began to move frequently, shining fiercely, to paraphrase a vulgar phrase - from this moment on, the wheel of history will eventually run slowlyγγγγγγ
And the only thing that people in the world don't understand is that no one can predict that the trend of the world is that inconspicuous time, and suddenly it turns a corner and goes to a road that no one can predict.
Perhaps, judging from the future generations, I am afraid that only "Xiao" will have some vague ideas about the future.
