Chapter 298: Killing Brothers: Dowry
"Well, Your Majesty, although I don't know exactly how many princes there are, it will never be one. Ling Feng said, he remembered that there was once a third prince who had fought with him for elves.
If the emperor was telling the truth, there was only one possibility, and that was that all those princes died during the time that Ling Feng was gone.
Isn't it time to practice XX gong, play collective**, and go to see God. Ling Feng thought maliciously in his mind, but he also knew that it was impossible.
"In the time you have been away, the news of the unexpected death of the prince has come one after another, and we have not even had time to do anything about it, because it happened so suddenly. Later, in order to protect the remaining princes, they were all confined to the palace until we figured things out. The Emperor's tone was a little sad, he had tried his best to restrain his feelings, but he still showed a little.
Accidental death? How coincidental was accidental death? One was an accident, but all of them were not accidents, and everyone must know this. However, it is difficult to know who caused this accident alone.
On the mainland, it is estimated that there are 10 million people who want Tianxiang to have accidents and chaos, and those who are capable of doing these things are not 1,000 but 800, of course, no one is willing to do it without being driven by interests.
Because you have the ability to do this, Tianxiang is also capable of making you chaotic.
It is not impossible to say that someone just wants this kind of chaos and fish in the middle of the troubled waters in order to achieve the goal he wants. But these are all prerequisites that you can do.
Although the princes of this continent do not have many protectors, it is not easy to kill them in a short period of time.
One more thing to do is that you have to know their whereabouts, otherwise how can you carry out the assassination. Under normal circumstances, the whereabouts of the prince are basically secret, and it takes a very strong intelligence agency to find out.
And this time, before Tianxiang had time to react, he had already killed all of them. That can only show that this person or force is by no means idle.
Of course, there is also a possibility that this incident was done by people inside Tianxiang. That would be simpler, whether it was to know the whereabouts of the prince. It's easier to assassinate them, because they're their own people.
And the next words, let Ling Feng be sure of one thing, this matter is definitely an internal problem.
"And then? How did the rest of the earth prince hang up? Ling Feng asked curiously, and there was no sympathy in his tone, not caring how many sons the emperor died.
"They were all assassinated. The Emperor replied, and his words were more general. It's impossible to know the details, maybe he doesn't want to talk about it.
"Uh, so that's the case, then why didn't this Li Tianqi be assassinated?" Ling Feng didn't ask about this detail, just pointed at Li Tianqi and asked.
"He was there at the time, but luckily he had only one of his hands cut off!" replied the Emperor. But there is no sense of rejoicing.
Ling Feng looked at Li Tianqidi's left hand and found that the hand had been reconnected, after it had been cut off. It was connected with the optical healing technique, but it was only flesh and bone, and his nerves were not connected, which meant that his left hand was useless.
"Is it a gathering of princes who have been caught all in one go?" Ling Feng guessed based on what the Emperor had said. The phrase "he was also present" indicates that the assassination took place on an occasion.
"Yes!"
"Who is the assassin?" Ling Feng asked, after such a long time, with Tianxiang's ability, he should be able to find out who did it.
"I don't know, I don't know how he got in, I don't know how he got out, and no one has seen him. The Emperor gave Ling Feng an unexpected answer.
"That said, you haven't fought against it either, and no one else has been injured?" Ling Feng frowned.
"Hmm. ”
"In other words, it happened like this, a prince party, this Li Tianqi happened to be in it, the assassin killed all the princes, but only cut off his left hand, the hand with the Ring of Imprisonment, and no one but him had ever seen the face of the assassin. Really?" Ling Feng asked flatly.
Who did this matter is already about to come out, I didn't expect this Li Tianqi to be so ruthless, it is simply a change in the Xuanwu Sect in another world.
At the same time, Ling Feng also felt that this Li Tianqi was very ruthless, and it might be understandable to attack his own brother, but it would be difficult to imagine if he attacked himself.
Li Tianqi must have cut off his own hand so that he could remove the ring of imprisonment, which also explained the reason why he regained his fighting spirit, which was the only way to remove it without Ling Feng.
Damn, I knew to give him a vindictive version of the forbidden demon collar to see if he could cut off his head. The reason why Ling Feng gave this at the beginning was because he was a man, although he made a mistake, but how to say the prince, he wanted to give the royal family a little face.
However, Ling Feng didn't expect Li Tianqi to do such a "feat" at the beginning, and he actually played "a strong man's broken arm".
As Ling Feng guessed, this incident in the palace was done by Li Tianqi, and he took advantage of everyone's lack of vigilance against him, because his fighting spirit was imprisoned and he could no longer make waves, so he relaxed his vigilance.
What he didn't expect was that he actually cut off his own hands, took off the Ring of Imprisonment, and killed all the remaining princes, with his strength, it was very easy to deal with those who remained.
The rest of the princes have not yet grown up, or their strength is poor, so they did not go out.
However, it is difficult to judge whether Li Tianqi followed the situation to implement his salted fish turnaround plan, or whether it was originally the situation he created. However, Ling Feng believed that the chances of the latter were much higher than the former.
Anyway, it is certain that Li Tianqi will kill his brother for the sake of the throne.
"Yes!" replied the Emperor with a blank face, as if Ling Feng's words did not arouse his suspicions, and still believed that the assassin had done it.
And this was a strange expression on Long Jue's face, and the others were silent.
"It seems that you all already know this, then we won't talk about this!" Ling Feng saw this situation, and he already understood that everyone knew about this matter, but they didn't break it.
The emperor knew, but in the absence of an heir, he could only make Li Tianqi the crown prince again.
Long Jue also knew, but for the sake of his brother's righteousness and Tianxiang, he had to compromise.
In this matter, the emperor plays a major role, everything depends on his decision, if he wants to execute Li Tianqi, it is also easy, and Long Jue absolutely supports it.
But when there is no successor, he chose to be silent, chose to be innocent, when this incident did not happen, when Li Tianqi is innocent, this may be unimaginable and incomprehensible, but if it is in his position, you can understand.
If there is no successor to an emperor, it will only bring chaos to the empire, so it is better to choose Li Tianqi than this. At the same time, he also has selfish intentions here, if he doesn't choose Li Tianqi, he will choose other people in the royal family, that is, he is not his son. In the case of a father, no matter how much his son behaves, he will forgive him in the end, especially if there is only one, and he is afraid of losing this son again.
As for Long Jue, knowing that the emperor chose the wrong one, he could only follow him to choose, in addition to loyalty, there is also brotherly righteousness, decades of brothers, how can you let him oppose it.
In addition, Long Jue believed that Li Tianqi did not dare to make a move on the Long family, because it would only bring him disaster.
In fact, Li Tianqi, as the crown prince, is actually not a problem, a good emperor is not necessarily a good person, they all know it clearly.
I also understand this Ling Feng, because Li Shimin is the best example, he also won the throne after killing other heirs to the throne, and he is also recognized by history as a good emperor.
However, understanding is understanding, now that Li Tianqi has threatened himself, put the Long family under house arrest, and destroyed Heishi Mountain, this is where he is unforgivable.
"Now that I've had my fill of food and drink, it's time to get down to business. Ling Feng clapped his hands, and then said lightly.
Everyone secretly said in their hearts, and at the same time, they all focused on Ling Feng, seeing how he would negotiate with Li Tianqi and what kind of conditions he proposed in exchange for the lives of everyone in the Long family, including himself.
Today, Li Tianqi's purpose is also for this, he wants Ling Feng's things more than his life, because Ling Feng's things can make him invincible to the world, with his shrewdness, he can naturally distinguish which is more important.
However, everyone was surprised to find that Ling Feng's so-called business did not refer to this, but to ......
"Your Majesty, I want to inform you, I will marry the Seventh Princess. Ling Feng said with a smile. Informing you means that it is the same whether you agree or not.
"Ah......h
"As for the dowry, today is Li Tianqi's life, and the rest will be made up later. Ling Feng smiled slightly, not caring about other expressions at all.
