Outside the Grand Duke Bashuut's mansion, Edgar, the second prince of the empire, was waiting calmly.

Although Edgar, as the second in line to the throne of the Empire, had ample privileges to freely enter and exit the mansions of some ministers, it was only a few ordinary ministers with low power.

A large family like the Bashutt family, which has been in power for hundreds of years, is headed by a generalissimo who controls the six southern provinces. With such an identity and status, Rao has to be honestly informed if a prince like Edgar wants to enter.

After all, Edgar is determined to be the supreme throne, and anyone who has this mind naturally knows in their hearts that the Bashutt family plays a pivotal role in the empire.

And now the assassination of Grand Duke Basiut is a big blow to the Basiut family. However, the Bashut family's heritage is still there, and as long as he has the help of the Bashut family, Edgar believes that he will definitely not be too far from that throne.

Although the current new head of the Bashut family, Barn Bashut, is relatively close to his royal sister Isabella, but that was only before, and Edgar came today to prepare a big gift for his royal sister of the prison country.

Edgar didn't wait for a while, and the guard who had just gone in to report walked out quickly: "Your Royal Highness Prince Edgar, the head of the family is invited." ”

"Thank you. ”

Edgar smiled and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the hall, Edgar did not go directly to see Barn, but walked quickly to the mourning hall where the coffin of Grand Duke Bashut was kept, slammed his knees on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.

According to the laws and institutions of the Empire, Edgar, as the prince of the Empire, was not required to bow to anyone outside the royal family. But he did, and whether Edgar really did it or not, at least he did it to give him a lot of points in front of outsiders.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness. The old butler standing on the side hurriedly helped Edgar up.

Edgar got up and glanced at the old butler, who nodded slightly and said sideways, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, please come with me." ”

With that, the old butler led Edgar to Barn's study.

"The head of the family, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down. The old butler said softly.

"Please. ”

A calm voice came from the study.

The old butler bowed and got out of the way, and Edgar gathered his thoughts, pushed open the door, and entered.

As soon as he entered the door, the first thing that caught Edgar's eye was Barn's slightly immature face, although Barn's age was still young, but after a series of blows during this time, Barn's psychology had matured.

"Long time no see, Grand Duke Barn. Edgar said.

Barn nodded slightly, "What is the important matter for His Royal Highness the Second Prince to come here today?"

Seeing that Barn went straight to the point, Edgar was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "The Grand Duke is quick to talk, and this prince is not a mother-in-law, I came this time to get your help from the Grand Duke, in exchange, I can tell the Grand Duke something you want to know." ”

Things I want to know?

Barn smiled when he heard this, "My help, I wonder what kind of help the second prince needs from this duke?"

"It's very simple, as the second in line to the throne of the Delos royal family, I naturally aspire to the throne above those ten thousand people. ”

"Does His Royal Highness mean that you want this Duke to be on your side?" Barn said lightly.

"Not bad. There was a hint of frenzy in Edgar's eyes.

Although there was a trace of disdain in Barn's heart when he saw this, his face was still very calm: "Second prince, you seem to have forgotten, now that His Majesty the Emperor is unwell, Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella is appointed to supervise the country, why should Duke Ben take such a big risk to help His Royal Highness the Prince in this situation?"

When it comes to Isabella's imprisonment, Edgar is angry. Originally, as soon as the news came that his father, Leon III, was unwell and could not take care of the government, both he and his royal brother, the first prince, were gearing up to obtain the power of the prison state. However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and before they could take action, Leon III directly ordered Isabella to supervise the country, which instantly cut off the desire in their hearts.

Although he resented his father's decision, he was now in Barn's mansion, so Edgar still maintained a certain demeanor.

I saw him smile slightly: "Father made this decision with his own considerations." However, whether this imperial sister of mine can sit firmly in the position of this prison country is a question. ”

"Oh? Barn was immediately intrigued.

"The reason is simple: imperial law stipulates that whoever is suspected of murdering an imperial nobleman is punished as a felony. My royal sister is not so simple, and this is what I want to tell the Grand Duke, the death of the old duke is related to a magic sword called Apophis, and this magic sword is now in Isabella's hands. Edgarpi said with a smile.

"Seriously!"

Barn's anger burst out, and he rushed to Edgar's side, pinched Edgar's collar and asked, "Is the magic sword really in Isabella's hands, does my father's death really have anything to do with her?"

"Grand Duke, I-I'm fast, out of breath. Edgar's face flushed, and he looked out of breath.

Barn was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that he was too excited, and slowly let go of Edgar: "Sorry, I'm too excited." ”

Edgar waved his hand to indicate that it was okay: "Grand Duke, although I can't be completely sure, I am sixty percent sure." ”

Sixty percent!

For Edgar, the prince who has mastered the imperial intelligence department for many years, sixty percent certainty can already be said to be extremely high.

Barn took a deep breath and said slowly: "If this matter is true, on behalf of the Bashut family, I would like to thank the second prince for telling you the truth, and if things are really as you say, then I can stand on your side on behalf of the Bashut family." ”

"With the help of the Grand Duke, my great cause can be expected. Edgar said excitedly after getting Barn's statement.

The purpose had been achieved, and Edgar didn't want to linger longer, so after a few more idle words, he hurriedly took his leave and left.

After Edgar left, Barn looked into the distance with deep eyes and muttered, "Isabella, since you made such a choice, then don't blame me. ”

With that, Barn walked out of the study quickly.

In May 980 Arad, Barn Basut, the new Grand Duke of Caesar's Empire, led 3,000 elite knights to the southern valleys, with the sole purpose of exterminating the mysterious organization of violent search and arrest groups.

At the same time, after Barn issued an order as the new head of the Bashutt family, the Dark Elves' attack on the six southern provinces of the Caesar Empire began to be thwarted, and the garrison corps of the southern provinces of the Caesar Empire began to gradually launch a counterattack.

......

After about half a month's march, Bahn and Su Yang finally arrived at the outskirts of the southern valley, at the foot of a mountain known as the Black Dragon Cliff by the locals.

The reason why they stayed here was because before they set off, Buwanga had agreed with Su Yang and them that the Bantu reinforcements who had come from the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain would join them here. Therefore, the Caesar Imperial Army, which had a shorter itinerary, naturally had to wait here for reinforcements from the Bantu tribe for a while.

After camping, Su Yang glanced at the southern valley shrouded in a large amount of white mist not far away, and suddenly thought of going in and inquiring about it.

Who would have expected that as soon as he told Han Menglan this idea, he was resolutely denied by Han Menglan.

"Menglan, you think, we don't know anything about the situation in the southern valley now, and if we march rashly, we will inevitably take a long detour and have some unnecessary losses. So, if I had gone inside first, I might have been able to avoid these situations. Su Yang continued to persuade.

And Han Menglan also raised her eyebrows: "It's okay if you want to go in to find out about the situation, but you have to bring me with you, otherwise you won't want to go anywhere." ”

As soon as he heard Han Menglan's request, Su Yang's head was big, and he could guarantee that he would be able to retreat by himself, after all, there were three near-god-level powerhouses living in his body. And Han Menglan is different, if he takes Han Menglan with him, once there is a danger inside and he can't take care of it, causing Han Menglan to fall into some danger, then Su Yang regrets it and has no place to regret going.

"No, no, Menglan don't even think about it, the situation inside is unknown, I can't let you get into danger. Su Yang's head shook like a rattle.

Seeing that Han Menglan couldn't be persuaded here, Su Yang could only temporarily give up the idea of going in alone to investigate, and honestly got into the tent and began to rest.

Han Menglan saw Su Yang's resignation, and although she felt strange in her heart, she didn't delve into it.

At night, a bonfire is lit in the camp.

After everyone had dinner, Barn went to arrange for the soldiers on duty at night, and Jiu Xian'er, who was tired of driving for a day, also went directly into the tent to rest, and took Han Menglan away before leaving, and only Su Yang and Buwanga were left by the fire in an instant.

Buwanga glanced at Su Yang, who was restless, shook his head, picked up a piece of firewood from the ground, and cut it off with both hands and threw it into the fire, and the flame suddenly burned a lot stronger.

The two were silent for about a quarter of an hour, and Su Yang took the lead in getting up and walking towards the outside of the camp.

"Be careful, if something is wrong, don't be reckless, withdraw and we'll make plans. Buwanga's voice rang behind him.

Su Yang didn't turn around, just nodded silently, Brother Buwanga really understood him, and knew that once he had an idea in his heart, he couldn't help but realize it.

"Tell Meng Lan, don't worry about me, I'll go and go back. ”

After leaving such a sentence, Su Yang's figure disappeared in front of Buwanga's eyes in an instant.

Tell Han Menglan?

Buwanga smiled bitterly when he heard this, this brother is really going to give himself a problem.
