Stepping on a sugarcane field and compensating 10,000 gold yuan, with such a generous writer, the owner of the team is naturally Fang Xiaobao.

Invited to the imperial capital. The etiquette system cannot be abolished, he did not teleport directly into the city, but like other vassals, he first passed it through, and then entered the city.

King Zhenhai arrived. The Gu clan seems to have been prepared for a long time, and sent hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome them.

All the way forward. The motorcade arrives at the hotel. Fang Xiaobao took the two ladies and walked out of the chariot, resting here according to the rules, waiting for his friend Gu Lie, who was summoned by His Majesty today.

"Lord Wang!"

The greeting team was led by Duanmu Xiong. This is an important minister of the Gu clan, in charge of the 100,000 forbidden army garrison imperial capital, and he is brave and fierce, and has the title of the first warrior of the ancient dynasty. At the same time, he is also the number one big family in the imperial capital, the head of the Duanmu family. Gu Xuan's maternal uncle.

Speaking of which, it is still an in-law relationship with Fang Xiaobao.

"Uncle, we are all our own family, there is no need to call the prince, if you look up to me...... Just call me a little treasure! Fang Xiaobao took Duanmu Xiong's hand, and his tone was extremely enthusiastic.

"Public to public, private to private!"

Duanmuxiong still insists on being called 'Wangye'. In Fang Xiaobao's opinion, this uncle is a little pedantic, since it doesn't make sense, how can he call it casually.

"The canonization ceremony is in the afternoon three days later, and the ministers are under the command of His Majesty, and the king of Zhenhai is now in the palace to rest for one night, and tomorrow there will be a banquet in the palace!"

Duanmu Xiong brought Gu Lie's message. After hearing this, Fang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Before the big banquet, there will be a small party, Your Majesty is very thoughtful!" After a pause, he looked at Duanmu Xiong and pretended to ask casually: "Who are the people at tomorrow's luncheon?" ”

"Only the prince and your vassals!"

Duanmuxiong explained that this banquet was specially received by His Majesty from the Xinghai Ministry, and no one else attended except Fang Xiaobao and his entourage.

"Your Majesty, the minister is grateful, and I ask my uncle to convey it on my behalf, and the minister must go to the banquet on time!"

Fang Xiaobao didn't ask much, and simply agreed neatly. After a few more greetings, Duanmu Xiong said goodbye and left.

Walk through the hall. Before he could stop, Fang Xiaobao immediately summoned everyone and held a meeting. This time, according to Gu Lie's request, he brought almost all the high-level members of the Star Sea, the four parts of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the main and deputy flag masters of the Five Elements Banner, the Eight Heavenly Kings, and so on, one by one.

Everybody's here. But the proceedings did not begin. Fang Xiaobao is still waiting for someone.

Five or six minutes at most.

A thin old man seemed to have walked out of the shadows, unaware and unaware, and appeared in front of Fang Xiaobao.

"Holy Lord!" Seeing Fang Xiaobao, the old man knelt directly on one knee, stroked his chest and saluted.

"The old thorn has worked hard!"

Fang Xiaobao hurriedly stepped forward to help the other party up. The assassin in his mouth is the Assassin King, the king of assassins who became famous a hundred years ago. He was originally controlled by the Yaksha and reduced to a dead soul warrior, but after being rescued and regained consciousness, he was persuaded by the sages to join the Xinghai family.

In terms of strength, the Thorn King belongs to the peak powerhouse of the Great War Spirit, even in the sea of stars, where the masters are like clouds, there are not many people whose combat power compares to him. The most important thing is that he is proficient in the way of concealing and hiding assassination, and once established the 'Dark Moon' with his own hands, which is the first assassin organization in China.

Specializes in assassination and exploration, and has experience. Therefore, after joining Xinghai, he immediately replaced Jiang Yan as the head of the Ministry of Electricity.

This old man lived up to expectations, and under the painstaking management over the years, the Ministry of Electricity spies were all over China, and the news network was extremely well-informed, and its tentacles even extended to the territory of the Western Sass Empire.

Huaxia is the foundation of Xinghai. Knowing the movements of the Gu clan imperial capital is the top priority.

Therefore, the Thorn King sat in the imperial capital for a long time, collected information from all aspects, and transmitted it back to Xinghai. Because of this, Fang Xiaobao, the Holy Lord of the Star Sea, can know the affairs of the world even if he is sitting at home.

In this regard, the King of Thorns can be said to have contributed a lot.

"What's going on now?"

Fang Xiaobao summoned the Assassin King, the reason was very simple, he wanted to know the recent movements of the Gu Clan. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we be confident. He wanted to find out whether his friend Gu Lie's invitation was really canonized as the crown prince, or if he had other plans.

"Everything works!"

The Thorn King replied succinctly. After the investigation of his secret agents, there has been no change on the Gu side recently, and the inner court of the palace and the vassals of various departments are all working on one thing, canonizing the crown prince.

"There are also our people in the palace!"

The Thorn King looked at Fang Xiaobao and said, "Our Majesty is very attentive to tomorrow's banquet and will personally handle the big and small affairs...... It is said that two other friends of the Holy Lord were also invited to participate! ”

Fang Xiaobao smiled after hearing this. At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

All the probing was done for the sake of caution to find out the true intentions of the Gu Clan, or his friend Gu Lie. At present, it is just a banquet and nothing else.

"That's good!"

Fang Xiaobao thought silently in his heart. He knew very well that he and even Xinghai were definitely a big hidden danger to the Gu clan that endangered the imperial power. Especially when the strength of the Naiban Department was exposed, it was easy for the Gu clan to suspect him, and it was not surprising that he shifted the spearhead to deal with it.

He was not afraid, but he did not want to see such a day.

"Broken bones, I said that as long as you reign for one day, Xinghai will never rebel, but if you do it first......"

Fang Xiaobao's eyes flashed with a fierce color.

Inner Sanctum.

The layout is not large, and the decoration is luxurious. Three or five attendants and palace maids accompany each other, or clean up, or decorate the venue, and make final preparations for tomorrow's banquet.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

The group strode in. The leader is none other than Gu Lie, wearing a dragon robe, a crown on his head, and his gestures are majestic. The attendants and maids all bowed to the ground and shouted 'Long live'. Gu Lie didn't look at these subordinates much, and looked around the inner hall, not letting go of any small detail.

"Tomorrow is a family banquet, and there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, only the host and guest!"

Gu Lie casually accused. Immediately, the inner court supervisor led people to rectify it. It took hours of tossing and turning to satisfy His Majesty.

"Are you all ready?"

Wave your hand to let the idlers retreat. Gu Lie looked at the second elder Xuanji behind him and asked in a low voice.

"Everything is ready!" The second elder nodded.

"He's clever and cunning, and he'll see through the slightest mistake...... At that point, we won't be able to finish! Gu Lie said this, and his face showed an indescribable tangle.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

"We have been planning for a long time, and once we make a move, only success will not fail!"

The second elder is full of confidence. Seeing this, Gu Lie was silent, paced to the main seat and sat down. After a long time, I heard him sigh softly: "After the matter is done, don't hurt him, let alone kill him...... After all, he is one of the few good friends and good brothers of mine! ”

The two elders looked at each other after hearing this. Gu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots can we never suffer in the future!" ”

Gu Ji echoed: "Your Majesty, don't be soft-hearted! ”

Without waiting for them to persuade again, Gu Lie waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, and it is not negotiable at this time...... As for what to do, follow the example of Alcatraz Island and find an island in the East to settle him...... Except for freedom, give him everything he wants! ”

"Yes!" The second veteran of Xuanji resolutely took his attitude, did not say more, and respectfully accepted the order.

waved his hand. The second elder retreated. There was only one Gu Lie left in the huge hall. He was stunned, and his mind was full of images of the past.

"Xiaobao, don't blame me...... There are many things that I can't help myself......"

Whispers rang out. Through the entanglement, there is also inexplicable helplessness.
