Silver Fort, King's Tower, Observatory.

The huge telescope points to the sky, like an ancient cannon. This is the largest traditional astronomical telescope in the whole Ambergris River, and although the observation distance is far less than that of the most advanced radio telescopes, it can observe the starry sky with the naked eye.

The Wei family has been astronomy enthusiasts for generations, and some family members have discovered new stars.

Next to the telescope stood a man in his early thirties. The long shirt and jade belt, the sword at the waist, a new Zen Confucian dress. At this moment, the Confucian scholar looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about something.

Quietly, a shadow appeared at the entrance of the stairway.

"Young master, they want to blow up the tower." The voice was low and hoarse, like the sound of sharpening a knife.

The Confucian looked at the sky silently, as if he did not hear.

"Young Master......" The shadow spoke again.

"Let them blow it up......" The Confucian priest turned his head, stared at the shadows in the corridor, and sighed, "The country is dying, and as the crown prince, I have no face to live." ”

"Young Master ......"

"Let's go." The Confucian raised his hand, "From today onwards, you are free. ”

"No, I'm not leaving." The hoarse voice seemed to be a little excited, "A slave for a day, a slave for life!" ”

"Why are you doing this?" The Confucian shook his head and sighed slightly.

"Finally, let the cheap slave accompany the young master for a ride." The hoarse voice was tinged with begging.

"You ......," the Confucian exhaled a long breath, "Okay, on the Huangquan Road, it's good to have a companion." ”

"Thank you, young master!" The hoarse voice was full of surprise, as if it had been greatly favored.

The shadows on the stairway faded away.

The expression on Confucius's face gradually became cold, "Take care of the last door for me." ”

He whispered, walked over to the wall, found a funnel-shaped constellation on an astronomical mural, and pressed it hard. The hidden trap is activated, and the mural opens upwards, revealing the metal pull ring inside.

The Confucian priest grabbed the pull ring and pulled it outward, the iron chain rattled, the friction of gears came from inside the wall, and a secret passage appeared in the corner of the wall.

It was pitch black inside, and the Confucian crouched down and shone a flashlight into it, and inside was a spiral slide, like a passage for throwing garbage in a hotel.

The Confucian didn't hesitate much, and the whole person got in. With a soft sliding sound, it disappeared into the mouth of the passage.

"If you don't hear that, if you don't surrender, we're going to blow up the tower!"

Below the tower, a tall fat man shouted towards the spiral staircase.

However, the hallway was silent, and there was no response.

"Big cat, what should we do if they ignore us?" A black guy leaned up and asked.

"If you really can't do it, just blow it up!" Big Cat said.

"No, big cat, there are a lot of valuable things on it, and if it is blown up, it will be gone." Cassie shook her head as she waved her hand, like a chimpanzee who could speak human words.

"It's better to have the money gone than to let the brothers die." Big Cat said.

"No, Mr. Qin will be unhappy." "It's okay, I'll ask the boss before I blow it up."

The two were arguing when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Let me do it."

Big Cat and Cassie are startled at the same time. Both of them are guard-level powerhouses of different bloodlines, with keen five senses, but the other party can quietly appear behind them, and the danger factor can be imagined.

Turning their heads, it turned out to be the head maid, and the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you, don't you have to follow Mr. Qin to the teapot?" Cassie asked curiously. In his memory, every time he saw the head maid, the other party would hold a teapot and plate in his hand.

"The host asked me to come over and see if there was anyone who needed help." Seeing Yue Canglian answered, she then crossed the two of them and walked towards the spiral ladder.

As soon as Cassie and Big Cat moved away to help, they heard her say, "This is a duel between warriors, please leave me alone." ”

Before the words fell, countless pink petals floated out of the void, as if encountering a whirlpool of air, swirling and flying around the slender body, gradually clinging to the surface of the body, forming a pair of bright red armor.

"Stay safe!" "Don't tell Mr. Qin that we didn't help when we hid behind!"

Seeing Yuecanglia turn her head sideways, she bowed her head slightly, and then walked up the spiral ladder.

There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was a flash of red light, and there was a fierce sound of swords colliding.

The tinkling was non-stop, and the frequency was very high, at least three to four times per second, and if it wasn't for the promotion to the town guard level, they wouldn't have heard it at all.

The sound of the clashing of swords continued for several minutes, when suddenly there was a soft sound, and the sound stopped abruptly.

"Poof!"

It was the sound of swords scurrying into flesh and blood splattering.

The hallway fell silent. Big Cat and Cassie stared nervously at the hallway, breathing a little stagnant. If the head maid was damaged here, they wouldn't know how to explain it to Chen Xing.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

The sound of crisp heels sounded, and two long legs stepped into sight, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, go up and arrest someone!"

"Wei Qingshan is on it, that's a big fish!"

"Everyone, listen up, capture the Silver Claw Prince, and the bounty is one hundred!"

White-gloved gendarmes rushed up the spiral ladder and into the observatory.

But it was empty, and there was no one. After some searching, a gendarme discovered a mechanism on an astronomical chart.

"There is a secret way!" "Chase!"

At the same time, the castle hall was bustling with people. The gendarmes and the captured servants were busy carrying the corpses, cleaning up the bloodstains, and cleaning up.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" "Hurry up!" "Keep it up, adults are still waiting outside, quick!"

At the constant urging of the captain of the gendarmerie, the castle hall was cleaned and the floor was as clean as a mirror and spotless. The throne was wiped repeatedly with alcohol, and it was completely new.

"The castle has been cleaned, please settle in!"

"Brothers, go in!"

Chen Xing waved his hand vigorously and entered the castle hall with Xiang Caidie, Huo Tsui, Lin Shiyuan and other senior officers.

At this time, the double doors had been barely repaired and opened to the sides.

The gold-painted red carpet stretches from the doorway to the bottom of the Silverclaw Throne.

"Oh, this is the palace." "It's really magnificent." "It's too big, it's enough to play."

The castle hall is luxuriously decorated, spacious and bright, with thousands of square meters, square porches and high domes.

The throne is located in the middle of the center, with two steps.

According to convention, the noble lord is the first step, the principality lord is the second step, and the kingdom king is the third step.

The throne is made of sterling silver, with leather embedded in the middle and armrests, giving it a luxurious look.

It turns out that this is the throne of power......

Chen Xing circled the throne, gently stroked the back of the throne, and after several hesitations, he finally did not sit down, but sat on the second step of the high platform, leaving the throne empty.

If one day he wants to sit on the throne, it must be the day when the mercenaries will establish a country.

With the exception of a few who were in charge of security, all the officers at the brigade and regimental level and above entered the hall.

Most of them were low-level mercenaries and had never entered the palace, let alone entered as victors. I'm very curious, this touch, that touch.

"This thing can't be made of pure gold, right?" One of the brigade commanders touched the knight's armor leaning against the stone pillar as a decoration. The surface of the armor emits a faint golden glow, which is different from the dazzle of gold and is a very soft luster.

"How much is such a large piece of pure gold worth?" Another regiment commander said. As he spoke, he pulled out the gloves of his armor, only to exert too much force, scattering the entire armor to the ground.

"Haha, are you an elementary school student, you can break everything." The brigade commander scoffed.

"Oops......" The commander who dismantled the armor was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Quartermaster Lu Shanhai happened to come up from behind, patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, maybe I'll move out and sell it later, just do it!" ”

When Chen Xing saw this scene, he immediately said loudly, "Don't be polite, everyone, just treat it as your own home." ”

"We are the victors, and these are our trophies!"

"If you see anything you like, take it!"

"Look at what good wine, good meat, eat as much as you want!"

"Hahaha!" "The boss is arrogant!" "We won't get drunk tonight!" "Hooray!"

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely warm, but everyone maintained considerable restraint and did not really rummage through the boxes and cabinets and grab things. But anyone who can enter here is a high-ranking officer of the expeditionary force, and he will not covet money casually.

Chen Xing pointed to an old man who looked like a butler, who immediately trotted over. It is not difficult to see from the outfit and movement that this person is one of the servants of Silver Castle.

"The butler of the court, little Trollope, has seen the adults."

"Go, let people prepare food and drink!"

"Yes!"

"Do this well, what position you were in the past, and what position you will be in the future." Chen Xing said.

Little Troope, the butler, suddenly showed ecstasy, "Thank you, thank you, my lord!" ”

Little Trollope was originally just one of more than thirty palace stewards in Silver Castle, mainly in charge of the dining room and a small part of the living area, and had a low status among the stewards.

Being able to gain the appreciation of big people in advance at the critical moment of power alternation will not only stabilize the position in the future, but also possibly go to the next level.

"What kind of cellar wine, food, this and that, just get it."

"There are three hundred years of brandy in the cellar, and two hundred and seventy years of Eastern Continent Tenglong liquor."

"Bring them all!"

"There are Antarctic tuna, polar bear's paws, deep-sea crabs, smoked deer legs in the Andes, Kunlun matsutake mushrooms ...... in the ice cellar"

The housekeeper is like a few treasures, most of Chen Xing has never heard of it, and he is too lazy to study, he shook his hand, like driving away flies, "Okay, okay, just go get it and eat it, don't be verbose!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The butler bowed ninety degrees, then faced Chen Xing and slowly retreated.

Xiang Caidie glanced at Lin Shiyuan on the side, who understood, and immediately beckoned seven or eight staff officers to personally lead the team to leave with the housekeeper.

These people don't know what to do, and someone has to be watched to ensure the safety of food and drink.

Although the universal antidote can cure most of the poisons now, they are new to the royal city, and it is better to be careful in all aspects. No one can say for sure whether these servants are hiding the diehard loyalists of the Wei family, harboring evil intentions, waiting for opportunities, and ready to create accidents at any time.

"My lord, the results of the preliminary inventory have come out......"

While waiting for food and drink, Ye Yang Masao came back to report to work.

"Kill five hundred and seventy-six of the forbidden army of Silver Castle, one demon guard, and fourteen servants who tried to resist......"

"How can so many minions resist?" Chen Xing wondered.

Servants are not warriors and generally do not resist in the face of heavily armed gendarmes.

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding......" Ye Yang Zhengxiong wiped his forehead. More than half of them were gendarmes under their command who couldn't help but rape beautiful women when they saw them. As the captain of the military police, he must shield his own people, so he simply killed him, and the right was to kill it by mistake, so as not to be corrected by the other party.

Chen Xing could see that Ye Yang Zhengxiong avoided the important and trivialized, but it was the matter of a few deaths, so he did not continue to investigate. The reason why he asked was to knock the other party so that nothing more excessive would happen.

"There are two thousand one hundred and six servants, one hundred and ninety-three noble attendants, and four hundred and thirty-two descendants and dependents of the Wei family, of which three hundred and fifteen are female dependents, and about forty ......percent are of marriageable age and good looks."

"More than 2,720,000 gold coins, more than 1,270 cultural relics and antiques, more than 790 precious calligraphy and paintings, 65 100,000 gold-class luxury cars, 46 precious swords, 178 precious firearms, 11 luxury yachts, 7 million-dollar gold-class luxury floats, and 10 million-dollar gold-class luxury floats......"

"It's so rich." Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"A royal family that has been inherited for two hundred years has much more savings than these, but the treasure has not yet been found." Ye Yang Zhengxiong said.

"I'm just going to just say it and go ahead."

"Yes."

"Crown Prince Wei Qingshan escaped from the secret passage and is being pursued......"

"The second prince Wei Qinghe was successfully arrested and has been imprisoned in the dungeon......"

"Wei Qingshan ran away?" Chen Xing asked.

"This ......" Ye Yang Masao wiped his forehead, and every time he was nervous, he would do this action.

"Just run away and forget it." Chen Xing waved his hand, not very concerned. After all, he promised Dongfang Xuanyuan that except for Wei Qinghai, Wei Haitang's other two sons would not be killed.

It's also a trouble to catch it, and it's hard to explain it if it's accidentally killed by a subordinate.

"No need to chase." Chen Xing said.

"Yes!" Ye Yang Zhengxiong was on the verge of amnesty, and not catching Wei Qingshan was his biggest mistake, so he said it at the end. But fortunately, Chen Xing did not blame. He was happy in his heart, it seemed that this son-in-law was still good, and he knew how to take care of his uncle's face.
