Chapter 2 A Single Cell in a Secret Room
After the end of the early dynasty, the emperor asked his attendants to leave Ximen Peak, but the location was in an inconspicuous compartment in the inner palace.
Ximen Feng was very puzzled, because as far as this early dynasty is concerned, he should use the least amount of space in the introduction, and he brought it in one sentence, and he didn't understand why the emperor wanted him to stay alone.
The old lion emperor's sharp gaze swept over Ximen Feng a few times, and Ximen Feng's heart was unnaturally nervous to the extreme. It is not the coercion of force, but the majesty of the superior, and the eagle-like torch-like gaze makes Ximen Feng feel like he has swept the light, and all his internal organs are exposed.
The emperor sensed Ximen Feng's nervousness and smiled: "Although the emperor said that you only used one sentence, but as a royal person, it is most important to grasp the most useful information in each sentence." Words like the boss are very sensitive on this occasion, but they also let me know precisely that they are willing to follow you, aren't they?"
Ximen Feng nodded, but the emperor's next sentence shocked Ximen Feng's heart.
"Take him out of the Great Thunder God Kingdom, and I will definitely settle him for him!
Ximen Feng was puzzled and a little angry at the same time, could it be that everything at the court meeting was a show?
The old lion emperor sighed and said, "I know you may have misunderstood, come with me." ”
With that, the old emperor's hand rested on the bottom of a torch on the wall and twisted it.
The wall next to it actually opened slowly, and the secret room did not surprise the little officials of Ximen, but when the stone wall was opened, there was no sound at all, which made Ximen Feng a little surprised.
There is a portrait painting hanging in the stone wall, good guy, what a luxurious portrait, it is actually painted with gold dust cinnabar and other materials, the figure is lifelike, and the photo is yes, it is indeed a heavy treasure, but the old emperor showed him his proud private collection What did he want to explain? There is a small line of text written under this painting, as a Ximen Peak with Luo Qiming's memory, it is not difficult for the English alphabet to spell out a result. Simon soon understood who the person in the portrait was, Duke Zebes 'Dracula' Vlad.
The eyes of the Duke are also very luxurious, one eye is lifelike and seems to be staring at you, the middle part of the eye is actually stained with ruby particles, and the other eye is hollow like a hole.
It turned out to be really a hole, and the old emperor took out a golden shaft from his bosom and inserted it and turned it, and his other eye was perfect.
However, in silence, the wall behind the mural opened again, and the hooking mechanism here must have done a very good job of lubrication, Ximen Feng thought.
A staircase appeared in front of me, and it was very dark inside, and a corner could be vaguely seen.
The old emperor took an oil lamp from the side, lit it on the torch, put on the cover, and walked down the stairs in front of him very cautiously.
The staircase was very deep, and after about the eighth turn, torches appeared on the walls on both sides, and the front suddenly lit up.
At the end of the passage there was only a single cell, which Ximen Feng estimated to be 20 square meters, with a bed, a desk and a comfortable chair, and a urinal. On the bed sat a young man in royal attire looking this way.
Ximen Feng looked at the old lion emperor suspiciously.
The old emperor was looking at the young man, and the two were speechless. After a long time, the old emperor suddenly spoke: "Second brother, second brother, do you still think that what you did is not wrong?"
It's actually the second prince who never appeared in the early dynasty?!
Ximen Feng was taken aback.
The young man lay down lazily and said, "Father, you know, I'm just for the royal reputation, since you already know that it's not your species, why do you want to protect him?"
The old emperor snorted coldly: "How much royal reputation is left when you hired someone to steal your father's diary?" The Leo family has worked hard to cut off contact with the Holy See for thousands of years, and the move is also to avoid disasters, do you know what the power you are in contact with now means?"
The young man smiled: "You are the emperor, is it really good to be so indecisive? I just know what I should know as an imperial family, what's wrong? I now know that the lord of my Great Thunder God Kingdom is actually an evil god, it doesn't matter, but you are indecisive, is there anything wrong with me doing what I can for the sake of the royal reputation?"
The old emperor suddenly kicked on the cell door and shouted: "Put away your beautiful rhetoric! You colluded with the Holy Light Sect to steal my diary just for your own desires, right? Your imperial brother is a gentleman, he has nothing to do and have fun, and he is not the third person who occupies a place all the year round, and he is not that material when he is the emperor." You know that I won't pass on the throne to him, so he is not competitive with you, and you are worried that the third child will come back to compete with you for the throne, so you do these things! Am I right?! If the boss is a little more capable, I'm afraid he won't be able to live now, right? Inheriting the unification with a ruthless and unscrupulous thing like you is a disaster for my Great Thunder God Kingdom!"
Ximen Feng probably understood, originally the second prince was the closest person to the throne, the West did not pay attention to the succession of the eldest son and grandson, but selected the best from the prince, the second prince was worried that the third prince would threaten his status, so he actually found someone to steal the old emperor's diary and discovered the secret of the third child's life experience. So he used the topic to play the role of Yin Lao Sanyi, but I didn't know to what extent he had arranged it, and the little official of Ximen decided to watch this farce patiently.
The second prince laughed: "Does it matter what, how many years has he left the Great Thunder God Kingdom, and he has a little attachment to this country in his heart? Based on this, I am more suitable than him to be the emperor, right? Not to mention that if I have the opportunity to shake this matter out, do you think he still has a chance to inherit the throne?!"
The old emperor also laughed, laughing louder than the second prince. The second prince looked at the old emperor suspiciously, not understanding what he was laughing at. The old emperor said: "You underestimate your Lao Tzu's mind, and you underestimate your brother's mind too much, no matter what, he is your half-brother, you shouldn't have bad intentions towards him, I have announced this matter, just at the court meeting just now." ”
"Are you crazy!?" the second prince jumped up from the bed and shouted: "The Great Thunder God Kingdom is originally a country composed of alliances!
"You're wrong, others prefer this country because I'm an honest and measured monarch. The old emperor smiled: "You also underestimate your brother's wisdom, why do you think I found out that you have a problem with your mind in the first place? Do you really think that your brother is a fool? He played the son of you, he has been a bastard for so many years, what is there that he has been a bastard out of line? I'm afraid he is still very sober when he can't walk the road that the fox friend you introduced. You don't have a good grasp of people's hearts as well as he does, and from the moment he found out that you had something wrong with your heart, he told me that he was going to be a bastard to see if your brother could be saved. If you're really better than him, he'll be a free prince and continue his career, you know what I mean?"
The second prince's face was not good all of a sudden, even in the firelight, he could see the sickly whiteness, and cold sweat fell from the second prince's head.
However, this expression did not last long, and the second prince regained his composure, which made the old emperor feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Measured monarch, poof, forgive me for disrespecting my father, when you know that there is another man pressing on the woman you love, the state described in the diary does not make me feel that you can see it. The second prince smiled shamelessly: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, men, especially noble men, how can you endure this kind of thing?
The old lion emperor's whole body trembled, he felt that this son was hopeless, but like the second prince, he quickly controlled his unbearable state.
The royal family is some rational terrible monster, Ximen Feng thought in his heart, no matter how difficult to restrain the emotion, in order to occupy a little upper hand, they can use reason to suppress their inner impulses in a short period of time, and use reason to guide their own behavior.
"Don't you just want to know about my plans? It doesn't hurt to tell you, you don't know how terrible the Holy Light Sect is, not to mention that the evil seed is an orphan of the Shadow God Cult, and we are royal, and we can be forgiven. Your Hughes was already dead when I told them this, and now he's on the Holy Light Cult's kill list. ”
Hearing these words, the Second Prince and the Old Emperor were all taken aback! Ximen Feng had fully understood what the Old Emperor meant, this country was built on a melee, and all kinds of forces infiltrated and took root in the cracks of political unification, and this was the case with the Shadow God Cult, and the same was true of the Holy Light Sect. Before the Great Purge is over, Yang Yun must be taken out of this country!
"Even fools know that they are the lackeys of the Holy See, and the Holy See has always controlled all countries as if through religion, and even if you ascend to the throne, you are just a puppet, don't you understand this truth? Do you really think that they are willing to be used by you?" The old lion emperor finally stared at the second prince and said his heart.
"Wrong father, as long as I can ascend to the throne, I have everything I need, on the contrary, I am willing to be used by them, do you understand?" The second prince's smile became more and more evil, but he was still calm, and he did not have the slightest consciousness of being in a cage. Ximen Feng instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and the dark blue ghost hand struck the old emperor's back out of thin air, shooting down several poison darts flying in the air, and two masked black-clothed people walked out of the dark shadow of the passage behind.
"If you die, with what your eldest brother has done in the past few years, how many people do you think I will believe if I forge a will?" The second prince's smug voice came from behind, and the grim feeling made people shudder.
