It's been a long time.

The second prince spoke slowly.

"The three major sects, the dominant side, each of them is a huge threat to my Song family, now that the imperial brother is dead, no one can compete with me for the throne, the support of the junior brother, for me at this time, do you think it is dispensable? For a completely negligible force, you let me take in 50,000 elite soldiers to offend the three major sects, this deal, it doesn't seem to be too fair." ”

"Does Your Highness feel that you have lost anything?" Merlin asked with a smile.

The second prince also smiled: "Don't you think?"

Merlin thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, I think Your Highness still takes advantage, unless you don't want to inherit the throne at all." ”

The second prince looked puzzled: "I don't understand, I don't understand what you're talking about." As long as the royal brother is dead, no one in the entire royal family can pose a threat to me. ”

Merlin said: "Maybe there is no inside the royal family, but what about outside the royal family?"

The second prince raised his eyebrows slightly: "What does the junior brother mean?"

Mo Lin put down the tea bowl and looked at the bamboo forest not far away: "Before coming to the Wind God Academy, General Mu Hongwu of Jiuyouguan had met with me, when the Ruthless Sect was destroyed, he wanted to lead the troops out of Yunlan and swore to kill Song Yuanbiao to avenge the division, but I stopped him." If the second prince is unwilling to borrow troops, it doesn't matter, I will borrow it from General Mu, I believe he will not refuse. ”

The second prince said: "Senior brother seems to be a little too confident, right? The 300,000 troops in Jiuyouguan are the soldiers and horses of my Song family, and without the order of the royal family, General Mu will lend you the soldiers and horses? ”

Mo Lin said: "This has nothing to do with who it supports, I just want to ask His Highness, if General Mu is reversed, your Song family will lose the 200,000 army of the Great Prince, how much confidence will you have to be able to block the 300,000 elites of the Nine Shadows Pass?"

The second prince was silent, staring into Merlin's eyes, his brows gradually furrowed.

Merlin smiled and stood up: "Your Highness, don't mind, what I just said is just a joke, since Your Highness thinks that I, Merlin, are not qualified to let you take risks, then this deal is not mentioned, and since the deal cannot be done, then there is no need to say the third request." ”

With that, Merlin turned and walked outside.

Whoosh ......

Three figures flew out of the bamboo forest silently, and the finished word stood in front of Mo Lin.

Merlin's expression remained unchanged, and he turned his head to look at the second prince.

The second prince stared into his eyes and said, "Senior brother wants 50,000 elite soldiers, always give me a reason, as long as you can defeat the three of them, borrow the matter of soldiers, I will personally ask my father for his life." The second prince didn't know when his brows had been stretched, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again.

Merlin didn't say anything more, his gaze fell back on the three black-clad guards opposite, and then slapped him forward.

This palm, without any fancy fancies, slowly pushed it out.

Can be raised with Merlin's arm.

There was a sudden violent wind between heaven and earth, and countless palm prints flashed out of the space within a radius of three zhang, and from all directions, they overwhelmingly slapped at the three royal masters.

The three guards blocking Merlin's path were all martial arts cultivators, two first-level martial sects and one second-level martial sect.

They had already seen that Merlin was just a seventh- or eighth-level martial artist, and they were hesitating who would strike first, after all, the realm was very different, and even if they won the opponent, they would not have any sense of accomplishment, but when they felt the changes in the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, the faces of the three of them changed instantly.

Three roars rang out at the same time in the depths of the bamboo forest, and the majestic soul yuan surged out from the bodies of the three martial arts masters, and the three cold flashing sword lights cut through the space in front of them, slashing towards Merlin from three directions.

This is a desperate way of fighting with injuries for injuries, and the three royal masters are the personal guards of the second prince, and they are also the black-clothed dead soldiers in the Zhenghe Palace who are only loyal to the second prince.

On weekdays, in order to deal with assassinations and sneak attacks that may occur at any time, he specially practiced a tactic of three-person cooperation, and once he used it with all his might, the fifth-level martial sect did not dare to face its edge.

Merlin didn't dodge, as if he didn't see the three knives at all, just stared intently at his palm, and took a step forward.

At this step, the palm shadow in the sky suddenly dissipated, and a wave of qi visible to the naked eye erupted from the palm of his hand, and the knives in the hands of the three royal masters were still more than two meters away from Merlin and were hit by this wave of air, and they all flew upside down in the air, and their faces turned pale after landing, and each of them spit out a mouthful of blood.

The second prince behind him saw this scene and his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body leaning on the stone chair sat up straight, and with just one palm, three well-trained martial arts masters were seriously injured, and this Mo Lin's strength was beyond his imagination.

"Is that enough?"

Merlin turned his head to look at the second prince again, his eyes were unwavering, and the corners of his mouth faintly hooked up a playful smile.

Although the three royal masters were seriously injured, they still had the strength to fight again, although they were shocked, but as dead soldiers, as long as there was still a breath left, they would fight hard for their masters!

Glancing at each other, the three of them released their martial spirits at the same time, and they were going to fight with Merlin.

"Stand down. ”

The second prince waved his hand to stop the three guards who were destined to bring humiliation on themselves, and stood up from his chair with a smile.

"The junior brother is really amazing, so he rushed to the palm just now, 50,000 elite soldiers, I came out. ”

The situation reversed, and the second prince invited Merlin back to his seat for the second time, and ordered the maid: "Wine!"

On the stone table, a pot of wine, two wine glasses, five plates of exquisite dishes with color and aroma, Merlin and the second prince raised their glasses to drink.

"Senior brother, I don't know what you want to inquire about this third matter?"

The tense atmosphere has long been gone, just like two old friends who haven't seen each other for many years reuniting again, the two of them pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and after a pot of wine entered their stomachs, the second prince suddenly asked.

The Mo family put down the wine glass and said, "This matter is related to the Ye family who lived in seclusion sixteen years ago, and it is the Ye family, one of the four major families in the imperial city. ”

The second prince put the wine glass raised to his lips on the table, and listened to Merlin continue.

"When the dragon slaying failed, Ye Qingxuan, the genius girl of the Ye family, heard that she was punished by the family and locked up by the royal family, I don't know how much His Highness knows about this matter?"

The second prince looked puzzled: "Why does the junior brother care about this old matter? Does it have anything to do with the Ye family? Sixteen years ago, the junior brother should have just been born, if you say that you have a grudge, you shouldn't be?"

Merlin said: "This matter is a long story, and I will explain it to His Highness when I have the opportunity in the future." If His Royal Highness has anything unspeakable, just assume that Merlin didn't ask, and take the liberty to speak today, just thinking that since His Highness is one of the princes His Majesty values the most, he may be able to hear some inside stories that outsiders don't know. ”
