Chapter 82: The Dark Tide is Surging
The eunuch looked left and right, and said carefully: "The emperor said about the heir. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The prince's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? What exactly did you say? ”
Although he is already in power, and even the emperor is under house arrest by him, he is still very concerned about what the current emperor says about the heir, after all, the emperor's decision is orthodox.
The identity of the crown prince belongs to the inheritor of the imperial artifact, but throughout the history of Kaslo, there are countless deposed princes, and the previous princes were killed inexplicably, who knows if the old emperor has other hole cards.
The corners of the eunuch's mouth flashed with an imperceptible sneer, but on the surface, he said with sincere fear: "The emperor doesn't want to pass on the throne to you. ”
The prince was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Who will I pass if you don't pass it on?" I'm his only seedling now, can he still want to pass it on to the royal family? ”
The eunuch also nodded and bowed: "Yes, Xiao Dezi first congratulates His Royal Highness the Prince, no, congratulations to the emperor on his upcoming throne." ”
The prince nodded with satisfaction: "Well, after I ascend the throne, your reward will be indispensable." However, the old man of the emperor has to be guarded against, you give me a secret investigation to see if any royal relatives have contacted him recently, or if he has illegitimate children outside. ”
The eunuch Xiao Dezi struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, Xiao Dezi also heard that old thing say a bottle of crystal clear things." ”
The prince was shocked and shouted, "Where is that thing?" ”
Xiao Dezi pretended to be scared and squeaked, "That old thing said that he handed it over to the Yuka patriarch. ”
The prince frowned, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said solemnly: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it must not be quiet." ”
Xiao Dezi retired disappointed, and although he did not succeed in provoking, it was not bad to plant some seeds of instability.
After Xiao Dezi left, the black-robed man reappeared in front of the prince.
He said fiercely: "It's Yuka Saiko who is bad for me, and I will make him look good." ”
It turned out that the black-robed man secretly reminded the prince just now and asked him to suppress this matter, otherwise with the prince's character, he wouldn't have broken out on the spot and found trouble for the Yuka family?
But now that he knew the whereabouts of the bottle, the black-robed man's heart settled.
The prince always felt that the evil aura of the black-robed man was trembling, and he muttered: "Master, or I will send a false decree to the Yuka patriarch to come to the audience, and then we..."
As he spoke, he gestured with his palm to his neck.
The black-robed man shook his head: "If it were that easy, I wouldn't be so distracted." Every time Yukka Seko goes out, there are many guards in the shadows, and it will be difficult to fight in Tulip City and attract the attention of others. ”
The prince was unwilling to say: "Do you want to let him take that treasure for nothing?" ”
The black robe smiled coldly: "Hmph, I have my own plans." ”
With that, black smoke came out of his body, and then vanished.
……
At the same time, in a bustling and quaint complex of buildings.
Yuka Saiko, the head of the Yuka clan, is hurrying to the depths of the compound, where no one is usually allowed to step in, and only when the Yuka family is in danger of extinction, the patriarch has the power to go deep into it.
A small bamboo forest, a small wooden house, the candlelight lingers in the wooden house, the breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves make a gentle sound.
Everything seemed so harmonious and silent.
Just the sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the tranquility of decades.
Before Saiko stepped into the bamboo forest, a rich and old voice sounded in his ears: "Little Saiko, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in and talk." ”
Saiko bowed respectfully and stepped closer to the bamboo forest.
In the cabin, there was only a simple wooden bed, a table, and four chairs.
An old man with gray hair was meditating in bed.
As soon as Saiko pushed the door, the white-haired old man opened his cloudy eyes, but those eyes seemed to be able to see everything in the world, making Saiko feel that there was no secret in his body, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
But the matter was urgent, he couldn't care about it so much, and hurriedly said: "Ancestor, this time the northern legion of the Kaslo elite army was completely wiped out and swallowed by the beast tide, and now the beast tide has broken through Cangzhou City, and it will attack Tulip soon." ”
The old man nodded, and the old monk hummed in a settled manner.
When Saiko was about to think that the old ancestor was asleep, the old man suddenly said, "What do you want to do now?" ”
Saike sighed and said helplessly: "In order to preserve my strength, I hope that the Ju clan will be relocated to the Tianshi Dynasty, and I implore the ancestor to agree." ”
The old man shook his head, and suddenly made Saiko's heart half cold, could it be that the old ancestor still had the idea of dedicating himself to the Kaslo Empire?
The old man said slowly: "Little Saiko, at this time, it is time for you to know something. Do you think that the Heavenly Rank in this world is already the strongest? ”
Saiko was shocked, and exclaimed, "Could it be that there are other realms above the Heavenly Steps?" ”
The old man raised his head, looked through the window, looked to the east, and said in a melodious voice: "In the far east, there is a powerful country there, and they have as many earth-level powerhouses as dogs, and sky-level powerhouses walk all over the land.
As for the Heavenly Steps, there are indeed higher levels, but the specific situation is not yet appropriate for you to know, but I hope you can open your eyes and not be confined to the current difficulties and obstacles.
On the road of the strong, only by overcoming obstacles all the way and having the same belief can we have the opportunity to reach the top. You don't have enough strength and experience to know more, but you have to learn to be determined. Go ahead! ”
Saiko left in despair, and when he escaped from the battlefield today, he dragged his tired body and mind to look for his ancestor.
But he was hit again, with his current strength of the middle stage of level 12 (Ground Rank Sect Realm), not to mention being proud of the Western Continent, he is also the number one figure in Kaslo.
Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the old ancestor, his strength was still far from enough, and what was even more devastating was that in the distant eastern country, the earth-level powerhouse was just an ordinary member.
As soon as he stepped out of the bamboo forest, the voice of the old ancestor came again: "As for the matter of the beast tide, someone will deal with it." ”
Saiko nodded, since the old ancestor said that the strong man of the Eastern Country, he no longer worries about the problem of the beast tide, as long as he invites a few, the beast tide will not be destroyed in minutes?
But he fell into the confusion of himself, although there is a saying that there are fifty people who know the destiny of heaven, but for the lifespan of thousands of years for the earth-level powerhouse, in the martial arts avenue, fifty years old is just like a newborn baby.
He sighed to himself, it seemed that he had spent too much time in the family, and he was too keen on power, so that he wasted his martial arts talent in vain, but fortunately, it was not too late to comprehend it now.
It's just that he didn't know that the arrival of the Zerg gave him an unexpected chance, but that's another story.
……
At night, the chaotic tulip city is surging, and although the streets and alleys are patrolled by soldiers, they can't stop the major forces from going through the alleys.
Families are looking for accomplices, plotting officialdom, or fleeing to other countries.
Under the threat of the beast tide, only the commoners and weak nobles really felt fear, while the big nobles and big forces did not panic, they just had a headache about the future base area.
For some careerists, the beast tide is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for them.
Every disaster in the Kaslow Empire brings a major reshuffle, and once this opportunity is firmly grasped, maybe in the next hundreds of years, the official fortune will be prosperous with one hand.
In addition, the only heir to the throne of the empire, the crown prince Tuwen is young and has poor ability, and he has no deterrent effect on the nobles, and everyone is more centrifuged.
