Lord Yi Ning pointed at the moving boulder with a long sword wearing grilled fish, and was about to speak, when he turned his head, but Shi Zhiyi's figure was gone. I felt that my small mouth was covered by a hand, and then the whole person was dragged behind a falling boulder.

Feeling the warmth coming from that hand, Lord Yi Ning immediately reacted, turned his head and spit out his lilac-like tongue at Shi Zhiyi, and then made a silent motion.

The creak sounded for about a cup of tea before it stopped, and the two of them held their breath when they heard two footsteps coming from the boulder.

"What's going on here?, where is the White Dust Ancestor?" a rapid, magnetic male voice came.

"Young Master Zhao, don't worry, the ancestor may not have come back yet. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, his voice was full of energy, and there was a faint echo in the cave, and his footsteps were steady and solid, and he should be the guard of this young man called Zhao Gongzi.

"The stakes are so high that I can't help but be in a hurry. Baichen Ancestor has been in my Beigong family for tens of thousands of years, and he has never missed a beat, and it is really a little strange that the three princes can retreat with their whole body this time. Except for Fu Lindai of the Puzhou Fu family, there is no saint-level master around the three princes, and that Fu Lindai is just a mere butterfly realm, how can he rescue the three princes from the hands of the ancestor?"

"The subordinates have also been thinking, the secret letter sent back from Ning Yuchuan mentioned that not only were the three princes unharmed, but even the guards and sailors, except for broken tendons and fractures, there were not many people who really died, it seems that the ancestor only sent a blow, sank the ship, and then left?"

"Baichen Ancestor knows the severity, every time he makes a move, he will not leave a clue, and our target this time is the prince, once the matter is leaked, how can the Kyoto side be willing to give up!? Although the Ning Yuchuan River is large and there are countless rare beasts, there is nothing that can threaten the existence of the ancestor. In this case, it is really unbelievable that the ancestor would leave halfway. Now that Ning Yuchuan is already making trouble, the third prince has suffered this change in my Yongzhou territory, and he will inevitably take the opportunity to make a big fuss, and the second brother must have a headache at this time. ”

"Mu Gongzi is cautious and does things without leakage, and he will definitely not give the three princes a chance to take advantage of. However, this defeat completely exposed the ancestor to the world, and Kyoto, as well as other major families, may have some speculation. We in Yongzhou want to choose ourselves clean from this matter, and it is estimated that it will not be so easy. ”

"Having said that, but even if they have some guesses, but there is no real evidence, what can they do with my Beigong family? Besides, with the ancestor in charge, even if Fu Linyue comes, he will only have the share of escaping in disgrace, but it is a pity that this time the third prince escaped with his life, and now Jing'er's position as the prince, I am afraid that there will be more twists and turns. However, four or five days have passed, and even if the White Dust Ancestor encounters something delayed, he should have come back a long time ago, why hasn't it appeared yet? What is the matter with the falling rocks here, as if it has gone through a big battle. Could it be that there is really something on that boat that can threaten the ancestor?"

Shi Zhiyi was behind the boulder, and when he heard the words "the position of the prince", he turned his head and looked at the county lord of Yining. He knew that Yu Zhongqian was the third prince, and there were two elder brothers on it, and the eldest prince was born to the Empress Daxi, so the cousin mentioned by the young voice outside was not the second prince?

When Lord Yi Ning heard such a secret, he was also shocked, and his little face was full of seriousness. She looked at Shi Zhiyi's expression and knew what he meant, and nodded slightly, confirming Shi Zhiyi's guess.

Today's emperor has three sons and two daughters, among which the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng and the eldest princess Yu Yicheng were both born to the queen Daxi, the mother of the second prince Yu Zhongjing is the pearl of the palm of Beigong Yixiao, the head of the Beigong family, and the third prince Yu Zhongqian and Yu Yining were born to Fu Qinghan, the eldest lady of the Fu family in Puzhou. Among them, the youngest is over 16 years old, and the eldest princess, Yu Yicheng, is over 30 years old.

The emperor himself is not yet sixty, and for a martial artist with profound cultivation, it is the time when he is in the prime of life, so the matter of establishing a prince has not been decided for a long time. According to common sense, the eldest prince is naturally the unyielding prince, and there is no debate between the government and the opposition about this, but listening to the meaning of the prince Zhao, it seems that the eldest prince does not regard the eldest prince as a competitor, but thinks that the third prince, who is low-key and infamous, is the real threat to the position of the second prince.

When the two of them who were hiding behind the rocks heard this, they already knew the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that the name of this famous giant dragon known as the "Ningyuchuan Water Monster" was Bai Chen, and it was actually raised by the Beigong family! Thinking about the age of the giant dragon and the history of the Beigong family, I am afraid that Bai Long has established a close relationship with the Beigong family since he was a child.

The giant dragon Baichen passed through the dark river, going back and forth between the Ning Yu River and this huge cave, and according to the arrangement of the Beigong family, he shot at the target person who passed through the Ning Yu River, which had never been exposed for ten thousand years. And this time Bai Chen's target is the third prince Yu Zhongqian, which involves the hidden story of seizing the heir and establishing the prince, listening to the prince Zhao said, "Let the third prince escape with his life", could it be that Yu Zhongqian's assassination in Tianshui City was also done by the Beigong family?

The Yongzhou Beigong family and the Puzhou Fu family are close to each other, not only are they not enemies, but they can be called quasi-allies, a hundred years ago, the Fu family was able to win the war with the Shaqi tribe in the end, and the support of the Beigong family played a vital role. But this time, for the position of the prince, the Beigong family did not hesitate to attack the grandson and granddaughter of Old Man Fu, which was completely unexpected.

"Zhao Gongzi, the situation is not right, someone has been here here!" it was the middle-aged man who spoke, "Look, there are traces of a fire over there!"

It turned out that before the two of them hid behind the boulder, Shi Zhiyi covered the small mouth of the county lord of Yi Ning and retreated, and at the same time, he extinguished the fire they made from the grilled fish with one palm, but he didn't know how long it would take for the boulder to move away from the hole entrance, so he naturally didn't have time to completely remove the traces of the fire. This cave has a huge space, and the ground is covered with large and small falling rocks, so Zhao Gongzi and the middleman did not find it at the first time after they came in, but when the two of them searched for the whereabouts of the White Dust Ancestor, the traces of this fire naturally could not escape their sight!

Listening to the voice of that Zhao Gongzi, it can be judged that his age should be in his early twenties, even if he is a direct descendant of the Eight Great Families, at this age, his cultivation is at most only the late stage of dawn or the peak, for example, the previous Daxi Mengze was exactly twenty, and he was punched by Shi Zhiyi on the birthday banquet of Old Man Fu and lay on the ground to break through the realm and enter the dawn entry, even if this Zhao Gongzi's cultivation is higher, Shi Zhiyi at this time is also confident to deal with it.

But the realm of that middle-aged guard is far beyond the scope that Shi Zhiyi can deal with. To be able to become the personal guard of the children of the eight great families, Xiuwei has at least advanced to the realm of ascending to the hall, for example, Chen Zhiyi, the guard of the third prince Yu Zhongqian, is the level of the middle stage of ascending to the hall, although Shi Zhiyi has made many gains since he went south, but with his cultivation at dawn, it is absolutely impossible to challenge the master of the hall by crossing two levels.

I think that at the beginning, the guard he met in Tianshui City should have been just the peak of the cold window or the entrance to the hall, and the extreme that Shi Zhiyi could do was only to prevent him from breathing, and he had already fallen into a mortal situation. If it weren't for Chen Zhiyi's quick reaction that day, I'm afraid that he and Yu Zhongqian would have already died in Tianshui City.

The middle-aged man's palm brushed lightly above the fire, "The fire is still hot, it should have just been extinguished when we came in!"

"Who is it? Come out!" With a sword groan, on a falling stone more than half a person high, the stones smashed by Zhenyuan flew one after another, which was sent by that Zhao Gongzi.

Shi Zhiyi pressed the county lord of Yi Ning, who was about to get up, made a silent gesture, and then walked out from behind the boulder by himself.

Zhao Gongzi looked at the fair-skinned and handsome boy in front of him, who was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and asked, "Who are you?
