[Xue Rongqing: This king just wanted to hold his own rights, but I didn't expect him to make this decision and force this king to a dead end. 】

"Report, nothing unusual was found in the ancient mansion, and the surroundings were very quiet."

Xue Rongqing couldn't help frowning when he listened to the report from the secret agent, and he began to have some doubts, Xue Liyue, are they here?

Suddenly, his eyes looked at Yu Chu, who was tied to the side, his cloudy eyes rolled, he pretended to cough, and walked over.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Chu looked at the person who was gradually approaching him, although he was scared in his heart, but his momentum could not be lost, and he hurriedly shouted to warn him.

"Don't worry, this king won't do anything to you, but you have to think about it, if this king doesn't see Xue Liyue and that Xiran later, you won't want to leave here alive."

Xue Rongqing just came to her side, brandishing the knife in his hand and threatening, he wanted to test whether this little girl was lying to himself.

"You don't believe me?"

Yu Chu had heard Mo Hexin and them say that all three formations here were all opened, and at least some of them could be resisted, but now that the first one was broken so quickly, she began to worry a little about whether they had escaped or not.

"Hmph, it's better not to play any tricks."

"You're really bold, even I dare to tie up, you're not afraid... Hachu felt that she needed to say something to try to delay the time so that Shizome and the others would be better prepared.

"Afraid of the Feather Clan? Hahahaha, how powerful do you think your Yu clan is, if it weren't for Yu Gu in charge, what would you be capable of as a medicine family? Xue Rongqing didn't take the Yu clan in his eyes at all, and he followed Yu Chu's words coldly and sarcastically.

I saw that his eyes were fierce, and then he held the big knife in his right hand, and the middle finger of his left index finger gently slid over the knife surface together, looking sideways at the blade, and the knife surface shook against the silver light.

"Hmph, then you are also in vain, you are attacking so aggressively, you are blatantly opposing the Fifth Highness, you will not end well!"

Yu Chu was choked by Xue Rongqing's words, and what he said was indeed reasonable, the foundation of the Yu clan's foothold was because of the existence of Yu Gu, otherwise who would look down on a family that could only engage in medicinal herbs to cure diseases?

But Yu Chu still couldn't get used to Xue Rongqing's appearance, she felt very disgusted. Especially after abolishing his own son yesterday, he is going to kill his relatives on a large scale today, Xue Liyue can be regarded as his nephew.

"Hmph, what kind of fate this king will have, it's not up to you to decide, and if this king doesn't fight for it, then what else can be left for this king?"

Xue Rongqing heard Yu Chu's words, turned his right hand, slammed the big knife into the ground, and turned his head to look at Yu Chu as if asking.

"Uh... You're not right, but I can help you analyze why you want to keep the prince's position so much? ”

Yu Chu was a little uncomfortable when she was looked at like this, and then she plucked up the courage to say, she was sure that Xue Rongqing didn't dare to touch herself, after all, she was still afraid of Yu Gu, so she still asked the doubts in her heart.

"Why? Why do you say? Why should I give it to his son, according to the rules, he is a deposed prince, why should he replace me? And I'm going to be sent to the frontier to fill the army? ”

Xue Rongqing finally said what he was holding back in his heart, he was really unwilling, saying that he was going to be a general, but in fact, it was just a title in name only.

As soon as Yu Chu heard this, it was obvious that the emperor of their Xingnuo Empire was jealous of his brother and was trying to weaken Xue Rongqing's power, and in addition to the crown prince, he also favored the five princes alone, giving Xue Liyue such a princely treatment.

Everyone knows such an obvious truth, and the subtle connection between the crown prince and the fifth prince makes people think about it.

However, if it weren't for Xue Rongqing's haste in recent years and revealing his rebellious heart, maybe the emperor would not have made this decision.

And handing it over to Xue Liyue to solve it is also a test of his heart and ability, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, if Xue Liyue loses, the emperor may not be so uncomfortable, but he is just missing a chess piece.

This is the cruel status quo of the royal family, everyone is just a pawn of others to consolidate their power, and there is no mercy at all.

"Actually, if you take good care of the people of Flan Town, maybe he won't make this decision, after all, you are also brothers."

Yu Chu sighed and looked up at the sky, she remembered what her father said to her before, to stay away from the struggle of the royal family, because once involved, it is really impossible to get out, this is a life-and-death struggle, silent and ruthless.

"Heh, he just didn't like me for a long time, I want to rebel, first of all, I will take his fifth son to operate!"

Xue Rongqing laughed wildly, his horse's feet and ambition were finally revealed, and he had no way out. Besides, his son hasn't been found yet, and he doesn't know if Xue Man is deliberately avoiding himself, but he really lost a son.

That is his only flesh and blood, how can he not be heartbroken, so let Xue Liyue repay all this! This time, he had the mentality of becoming a benevolent person if he didn't succeed, and wanted to settle with Xue Liyue.

"You're talking a little too much." Xue Rongqing looked at Yu Chu, who was about to open his mouth to speak, and cast a warning look, then pulled out his knife and got up to urge everyone to move on.

"Uh...

Yu Chu looked at the soldiers who got up again, just now because some of the soldiers who took the lead won the first formation and lost some.

But for this battle of thousands of people, it is nothing, but because of the experience just now, let them be doubly careful when they march.

This time, Xue Rongqing decided to change to the soldiers of the Star Spirit Master to explore the way in front, the spirit pattern was released, and they were ready to be on guard at any time, everyone was on alert, and Xue Rongqing, the old fox, hid in the safest place in the team.

Yu Chu twisted the restraints on her body with some unease, because she was also a star spirit master, and ordinary ropes couldn't trap her, so Xue Rongqing used the restraint technique in the primary spell to restrain her.

Yu Chu looked at the situation around her and gradually began to worry, and she thought about what she could do for them.

Ancient mansions

Xue Liyue secretly gathered all the guards together, without making a big noise, he calculated that when Xue Rongqing broke through the three formations outside the door and attacked, the remaining people should be at least four or five percent less.

Still, this was a lot for Xue Liyue and them, so he decided to set the battlefield in the ancient mansion, and he could set up a few more traps while he was in the middle of now.

He quickly arranged the few remaining men in batches in all corners of the ancient mansion, and set up simple, hidden traps in all the doors and places where it was possible to climb over the walls.

In this way, at least they can preemptively attack and intercept some of them, so that the number of people who can come in can be reduced again.

After setting everything up, Xue Liyue meditated alone in the center of the hall, closing his eyes and thinking quietly, he listened to the shouting and killing not far away, and felt the breeze blowing, but his heart was exceptionally quiet at this time.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to win against Xue Rongqing alone, and if there were other Star Spirit Masters to help him, then he would really be more than lucky, so what he had to do was to delay time and wait for support.

Coupled with the fact that Yu Chu was still in the hands of the other party, he had to act carefully, hoping that he could wait for Mo Hexin and the rescue soldiers they moved.

Underground passages in ancient mansions

"I didn't expect you to really have a secret way." Emperor Xuan Lie's arm was a little sore at first, but finally he carried it directly, so as to save effort, and followed Mo Hexin into the secret passage, the space was a little narrow.

"Of course there is, this was built by His Highness at that time in order to leave a way back." Mo Hexin led the way in front, and he was followed by the fat man and the woman named Fangzi.

"Oh, where does this lead?"

"It leads to the forest, but it's far from the old mansion, and you can get out of Fran Town soon."

"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't go straight to the outside of Frantown?" The fat man listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help complaining, he was very uncomfortable in his heart now.

"Dead fatty, do you think this secret passage is easy to cultivate, and it leads to the outside of Flan Town, why don't you go to heaven?" Before Mo Hexin could explain the reason, Emperor Xuanlie's temper came out again, and it was really strange that he actually helped Xue Liyue speak this time.

"Who do you call a dead fat man?!"

The fat man was already unhappy in his heart, he just promised Xiran just once, who knew that if Xue Rongqing hadn't come out, he was brought here inexplicably, and now he had to run for his life.

As soon as the fat man spoke, everyone stopped, looked at him strangely, pointed to his figure, his round face, and his body was still fleshy, who was fat if he wasn't fat?

The fat man couldn't help but glance at his figure, rolled his eyes directly, and suddenly his voice changed: "I'm not doing it anymore!" ”

Then the gray smoke suddenly came out of the fat man, and in the next second, everyone was stunned in place, especially Emperor Xuanlie, who stammered, "You... You... How are you? ”

"Why can't it be me?" It was Ji Tao who appeared in front of him, how could there be any fat man, which made everyone stunned, and the trick of changing people really just appeared.

"Who are you?" Mo Hexin said vigilantly, he hadn't seen Ji Tao, so he was very suspicious of the identity of this man who suddenly appeared, and looking at his expression, he didn't look like a good person.

"You can ask Shizome about this, I was asked by her to help play the fat man to testify, but since I don't need it now, can I leave?"

Ji Tao is also very aggrieved, playing the dead fat man is really tiring, although he can transform himself, but he also has to rely on himself to act.

He now wanted to leave quickly to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, report the situation here, and explain the reason for his disappearance.

Because he was outside the Fengxian Mansion at that time, it was also a temporary idea of Xiran, and the prince had no way of knowing why Ji Tao suddenly disappeared.

"No, when Xiao Ran wakes up, let her decide, you'd better not do any tricks." Mo Hexin still didn't believe him, and immediately refused, looking at him with a warning look in his eyes.

"Okay, okay."

Ji Tao was afraid that he would be besieged in the next second, and he would not be able to get any benefit from fighting in such a narrow dark passage, so he couldn't help but look at the person who was lying on the back of Empress Xuanlie and was still unconscious, he was really angry and funny.

She can figure it out that she can play the role of a fat man and come back from the dead, although this scene is under the banner of priing open the old fox's mouth, but it is definitely deliberately trying to fix him.

"Be careful, I'm about to go out of the dark road, I don't know if Xue Rongqing's people are not there, but you still have to pay attention. We need to leave Frantown to move the rescuers, and His Highness is still waiting for us to come to the rescue. ”
