From Blackwood Castle, the weather is getting colder and the snow is getting thicker!

"When is the heir to the throne?" Su Junbao asked on the way.

"At the beginning of spring, the Central Empire will come, and we are afraid that we will not be able to catch up, so we will rush back now!" Xue Mingfei said.

"That's still a few months! We can just do a little bit of preparation. Su Junbao said.

In the cold season, people can only hide at home to keep out the cold, whether it is transportation, commerce, and all kinds of business transactions have almost stopped, but this is it, every year people with insufficient reserves in winter will freeze to death and starve to death in the severe cold.

Su Junbao now only has half a month at most to rush to Wangcheng, otherwise they can only stop on the road.

"You're saying we're going to find a place to hide first?" Xue Mingfei also asked.

"No, we must rush to the royal city before they realize you're not dead!" Su Junbao said.

"They can know the time of your departure, and intercept you on the way, they must have planted eyeliner around you a long time ago, now those people are dead, no one knows that you are still alive, they can only infer from whether the killer came back to report, whether you are still alive, the time difference in the middle, is the time when we rushed to the royal city, after that, it will be difficult to enter the city, they know that the mission failed, you are still alive, they will do everything possible to prevent you from reaching the royal city, we have to hide, we have to rush to the royal city first, Find a place to hide and wait and see! Su Junbao said.

He didn't know anything about the situation in the royal city, and it was impossible to have any plans and assertions now, so he could only start from the actual situation first.

Xue Mingfei nodded, and also thought so, and didn't complain about braving the snow to hurry, but hoped that the sooner the better.

Everyone hid in the car, even if it was on the way, they had to burn the charcoal fire in the charcoal trough under the car to resist the cold, Su Junbao relied on his cultivation, and he could withstand it, only the little guy insisted on staying with him, not afraid of the cold, Su Junbao dressed her tightly, but he didn't seem to see this little guy afraid of the cold.

After more than ten days of driving, a white city covered with ice and snow appeared in their field of vision!

The capital of Fenglan country is also called Fenglan City, it has been built for thousands of years, the city wall is built by a piece of black giant stone, it looks simple and vicissitudes, it is as high as more than 20 zhang, it is durable and durable, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it stands tall, on the city wall, the towering formation tower goes straight into the sky.

This is the economic and power center of the Fenglan Country, and many of the people of the Fenglan Country are proud to have visited it.

It is more than 200 miles longitudinal from north to south, and millions of people live.

Like the other vassal states of the Northern Regions of Mangyuan, at least half of the rich and noble families of the Fenglan Kingdom are gathered here, rooted in the royal city, outside the royal city, there is a large area of sparsely populated bitter cold land, only close to the royal city, can you see the prosperous side of human civilization.

Su Junbao and the others quietly returned to the city, without making any noise, before they could take action, they had to find out the situation in the royal city first.

After entering the city, Su Junbao and the others did not go back to the palace directly, but first went to the city to find an inn to live in!

If you want to say that the best place to find out the news, it is the best place where the three religions and nine streams gather, such as wine shops and teahouses, with a large flow of people and all kinds of well-informed.

Su Junbao The inn they stayed in was of a medium level, not up or down, all kinds of people.

After settling down, Xue Mingfei stayed in the room all day because she was afraid of being recognized, and Su Junbao occasionally came to the lobby with rouge, picked a remote corner to sit down, and while drinking tea and eating, she quietly listened to the loud discussions of the people drinking and eating in the lobby.

There are indeed a lot of people talking about the selection of the monarch, but to Su Junbao's surprise, these people are not talking about which prince can be elected, but the three major families behind them, which one is about to ascend to the throne.

This can't help but make Su Junbao a little surprised, he knows that the previous monarch had three adult princes, namely the eldest king Yan He, the second prince Yan Chonglie, and the third prince Yan Fengying, these three people were born to different concubines, and behind them, they all had their own power support, and they were the three powerful ministers under their father.

Su Junbao didn't know anything about the former monarch of Fenglan Kingdom, and only heard Xue Mingfei mention that it was a person who was seriously ill. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that Yan Guiyi is not the king's own flesh and blood, and many people are suspicious of the monarch's return to the concubine in his later years and the birth of Yan Guiyi, but there is no conclusive evidence, and Yan Guiyi's mother and son were demoted from the royal city because of this.

And when Yan Guiyi was demoted from the royal city, he didn't come forward, but listening to what Yan Guiyi's mother and son said, this was also a way for the monarch to protect them.

The former monarch was seriously ill and had not taken care of the government for many years, and almost all affairs were handled by his three ministers.

They are the general Tong Minghai in charge of military power, Prime Minister Lin Wenxuan in charge of government affairs, and Finance Minister Li Jinghong in charge of the treasury and taxes!

These three people can be called the three giants of Fenglan Kingdom, and their respective families behind them are not small, because of this, they each support a prince, when the old monarch is still alive, they can still check and balance each other, but once the old monarch dies, the prince they support will take the throne, the balance will be broken, and there will be a monopoly on one side!

Su Junbao has never been in contact with the power field, but he has a good teacher, and the old man Qingxiao has taught him a lot of things before his death.

The former monarch has not been in charge of the government for more than ten years, the royal power has declined, and it is an indisputable fact that the ministers are in power, and now, Su Junbao sounds that among the people, the influence of the three major families has far surpassed that of the royal family, even if anyone can become the monarch, I am afraid it is just a puppet.

No one is interested in a puppet!

Su Junbao listened quietly and did not express any opinions! Often when it was almost time to close, he returned to the room, and after coaxing the little guy to fall asleep in his arms, Su Junbao thought quietly under the lamp.

He wants to help Concubine Xue Ming seize the throne, this is not an empty word, and once he participates, it is related to the fate of all of them, he, Yuenu, and Xiaoxi, Su Junbao has to face not only other princes, but also the real forces behind them.

In Su Junbao's view, those people supported the prince to ascend to the throne in order to monopolize the power in the name of righteousness, and how could an ambitious person be willing to live under the people for a long time? Even if it is only a nominal courtier, he will definitely try his best to claim the throne himself, and the first step is to eradicate the other members of the royal family, only when the royal family is weakened and the king has no heir, they can replace him! ”

This may be what Xue Mingfei said, they can only survive if they seize the throne, she is a woman, but she understands a lot of things.
