Su Mu looked at Yang Zimu's distant back, and the wrinkles in his eyebrows became more and more acute.

It is true that Su Mu did not prepare to fail from the beginning, but this does not mean that Yang Zimu himself must also have the expectation of defeat.

Although according to the agreement between Su Mu and Yang Zimu, Yang Zimu would of course let Su Mu seize the leader.

But as a knight, giving up every communication with a peak opponent is obviously a huge loss for himself.

Since Yang Zi herded him, he could resist even the temptation of war.

The only thing that can be said is ...... Hidden behind the whole thing, Yang Zimu has a bigger and more amazing purpose!

But at this moment, no matter how incomprehensible Su Mu was to Yang Zimu's behavior.

However, with the referee's inexplicable verdict, everything has finally become an irrevocable conclusion:

"In this battle, the Federal Northern Realm Magic Academy, Su Musheng!"

Su Mu's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, looking at Yang Zimu, who had already returned to Qinghua's preparation seat with a light smile, and those companions and mentors around Yang Zimu were also stunned now.

Su Mu was sure in an instant, I am afraid that even the Qinghua Academy does not know about this matter.

However, at this moment, Su Mu suddenly remembered something, and suddenly looked at a direction that was difficult for ordinary people to notice.

The second prince, Su Tan, is the titular "master" of Yang Zimu.

If there is anyone else who can know about this particularly strange thing, I am afraid that the only person who knows about it is the second prince of the empire who is Yang Zimu's companion.

But Su Mu's ingenious peeping undoubtedly did not get the result he wanted.

At this time, on the royal special seat, whether it was the second prince Su Tan, or the eldest prince Su Zheng, and even the imperial princess Su Tong, who Su Mu was most familiar with.

All the princes and princesses also showed straightforward confusion.

If it wasn't that they were so well disguised, they didn't know the cause of the mutation either.

However, at the moment when Su Mu was disappointed, an incomparably cold and indifferent gaze suddenly stabbed back at Su Mu's peep.

It is a kind of domineering that reigns over the world, but also a kind of disdain for the mundane, and a kind of loneliness and widowhood full of tyranny and domination.

Although this gaze was not specially for Su Mu, it just swept the entire martial arts arena indifferently.

But the aura contained in this gaze made Su Mu also frightened.

In this world, there is only one person whose gaze can be so domineering, and this person should not be so domineering in the eyes of most people.

"Emperor Longtuo...... It's not the dying person people imagined!"

......

"Next, it is the penultimate deduction battle of the second round of the round-robin, and the two sides are the Federal Northern Magic Academy, Jiang Lan, and the Pope Guo Lanxiang Karakuri Academy and Maggie, please get on the alchemy console as soon as possible. ”

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

Just when Su Mu hadn't figured out Yang Zimu's weirdness, he hadn't understood Emperor Longtuo's domineering.

The deduction battle, which is related to the final victory or defeat, is about to start under the announcement of the referee.

According to the points situation of the group stage, the conference naturally arranged the final battle between Jiang Lan and Yang Zimu after the actual final on the last day.

But no one would have thought that with Maggie suddenly defeating Yang Zimu, the most important game would become the second-to-last battle in front of him.

As long as Maggie can defeat Jiang Lan, no matter what the final battle results are, the final points of Yang Zimu and Jiang Lan will no longer be able to catch up with Maggie, who was once ranked third.

So to a certain extent, the current deduction battle is actually the real final of the deduction battle.

Whichever side of them wins, I'm afraid it will be the ultimate victor.

However, it was only when Jiang Lan and Maggie that they stepped onto the alchemy console of the deduction war, and even the troop configurations of the two sides were still being adjusted.

Qin Dong, who was Su Tong's protector, suddenly took the risk of disrupting the order of the conference, came to the preparation seat of the Magic Academy in person, and quickly leaned over to say something in Su Mu's ear.

Today, Su Tong and the Emperor stayed together, and Qin Dong naturally didn't need to follow closely behind Su Tong.

Therefore, Su Tong arranged Qin Dong in the dark behind Su Mu and his party to contact Yang Zimu who Su Mu and his party tried to contact.

And as a conference system, in order to ensure fairness and fairness in resources, except for the leading instructors of the three major academies during the battle, the rest of the high-level powerhouses are not allowed to contact the mission at will.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Qin Dong should not take the risk of appearing in the field.

However, since Qin Dong had already appeared, and had appeared so decisively and desperately, the message brought by Qin Dong ...... Naturally, it will be something extremely amazing!

There was not the slightest hesitation, nor the slightest hesitation.

After hearing the news brought by Qin Dong, Su Mu almost subconsciously, he had already looked at Yang Zimu, who was still sitting in the preparation seat, and a more secret place.

Then he didn't look back, and quietly left the martial arts arena with Qin Dong.

Although Lu Cheng saw this, he was naturally also full of doubts.

But now, as the tutor of the academy, she can't leave the scene as casually as Su Mu, and can only suppress the strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, and continue to watch the progress of the deduction confrontation.

......

It's still that dim passage, and it's still the same oppressive illusion that makes people feel cramped.

There weren't many places around the martial arts arena that were suitable for secret meetings, and even if the people who came weren't the most familiar with the terrain from the Empire, they seemed to have chosen the same location.

When Su Mu came with Qin Dong, a certain figure was already waiting in the passage.

Bastion, who was still the target of Su Mu's investigation plan last night, gave priority to face-to-face contact with Su Mu at this time.

Even the purpose of the contact between the two sides...... It was also Yang Zimu who Su Mu had tried to meet!

"How do you know this?"

The question in Su Mu's mouth is very straightforward, very sharp, but extremely sincere.

Because Su Mu really didn't understand why things had become so complicated.

The news that Bastion brought to Su Mu through Qin Dong could not be described as an exaggeration, and it could even be said that it was completely beyond Su Mu's imagination.

But what's even more weird is that as soon as the news reached Su Mu's ears, Su Mu had to be shocked to find that he believed eighty percent of the news in an instant.

For the message itself is:

"The 'Chosen One' on the imperial side is not only not Yang Zimu, nor is it Qin Invincible, but it is hidden behind them...... The Emperor himself!"

Bastion looked at Su Mu's expression playfully, and understood that Su Mu himself had discovered something.

Then he didn't do much useless cover-up, and said calmly:

"You once asked me why I chose to work with you instead of engaging with the Chosen One in the Empire, because I wasn't sure who he really was. ”

The "he" in Bastion's mouth naturally refers to the Chosen One on the side of the Empire.

"And as I came to the empire in person, and secretly with the help of the mission, I began to analyze the situation of the empire little by little. We were stunned to find an extremely shocking phenomenon. ”

"As we all know, the empire does not have an eldest son who can be appointed as the crown prince, so this dispute over the throne has gradually surfaced, and even become the mainstream of imperial officialdom. ”

"But I'm afraid you can't imagine that in such a seemingly turbulent situation, the combined power in the hands of all the princes is not even one percent of the emperor's hands. ”

As Bastien said this, the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

And a more critical message was also gently twisted out of the cloudy darkness by Bastion:

"The most critical point of contact is the so-called Yang Zimu. With this person as a bait or promoter, almost all the princes and princesses were involved in the same struggle. ”

"Su Zheng, the eldest son of the imperial emperor, once secretly used Yang Zimu as a medium to arrange for his subordinates in the middle of the army to study in the academy; Su Tan, the second prince of the empire, also relied on a large amount of funds provided by Yang Zimu to buy the rising stars in the academy; and the imperial princess Su Tong escaped from the federation under Yang Zimu's planning, and then met you; even the young prince Su Kun, who seemed to be out of the way, also received financial assistance from Yang Zimu all the year round. ”

"If it weren't for Yang Zimu, with the little power in the hands of the princes and princesses, they would obviously not have the confidence to win the heir at all. Or to put it more bluntly, the entire quagmire of seizing the heir was built by Yang Zimu himself, and continued to develop and grow little by little. ”

When Su Mu heard this, the surprise in his eyes really drowned out the doubts at the beginning.

And in this surprise, Su Mu finally understood Bastion's suspicion of the emperor.

With such a huge hand, all the princes and princesses were played with in applause, and even after years of accumulation, they were not seen through by too many people.

Even after Yang Zimu was the imperial merchant of the empire, he definitely did not have such a huge energy.

"The manipulator of everything is actually the Emperor himself, and whether it is Yang Zimu or Qin Wudi, they are just puppets who were pushed forward by him to attract attention!"

"This ...... It's the truth buried in the shadows of the Empire!"
