Duan Xiaofei sat in front of the two of them, and when he saw that they looked at Lin a little unnaturally, he said to them: "Lin is my teacher, don't scruple if you have anything, just say it." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Your Highness, you're okay!" Closing the door of the carriage, Wren heard Duan Xiaofei say this before he spoke, "Now the news that you have been assassinated has spread throughout the entire demon capital!"

"Cut, how can I die so easily?" Duan Xiaofei said, "However, I did encounter an assassin sent by the second prince, but it has been solved by Lin. ”

"That's good, that's good. Wren patted his chest and said.

"So the corpse we saw in the Mordor is fake?" Jessica said.

"Corpse, could someone still bring my corpse back?" Duan Xiaofei asked.

"That's right, Your Highness, half a month ago, someone found a corpse in the woods outside the Demon Capital, that corpse was wearing the same clothes you wore when you attended the dinner that night, and it looked almost exactly like you, with the same black hair and black eyes. Jessica returned.

"But nothing happened to me. Duan Xiaofei frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't the black hair and black pupils unique to the Demon King's lineage, why did it appear in the wild." ”

"We don't know, but the body was buried that day. Jessica said.

"Hmph, someone must have found an unlucky ghost to pretend to be me, so that the demon people know that I am dead, in this case, ......" Duan Xiaofei's eyes froze, and he said, "The second prince can rightfully inherit the position of the demon king, and there is no need to duel with me again." ”

"That's right, Your Highness, the second prince is ruthless, he has coveted the position of the demon king for a long time, he definitely doesn't want to duel with you, so he secretly sent someone to assassinate him. Wren shook his fist angrily and said.

"Now that the second prince has ascended the throne and become the Demon King?" Duan Xiaofei asked again.

"I don't know. Jessica shook her head and said, "Wren and I were suddenly besieged by a group of people when we were out on errands ten days ago, and it took us a lot of effort to get out of the Demon City, and then all the way east to the border city. ”

"You were also hunted down?" Duan Xiaofei said in surprise, "Why are you chasing and killing?"

"I don't know. Jessica shook her head again and said, "Maybe it's to kill people, after all, the two of us are the only people who have been in contact with His Highness except Ellie." ”

"Although I don't really want to meddle in the affairs of your demons, I still want to remind you. Lin, who had been sitting in the back chair, also spoke at this time, "If you were replaced by the second prince, would you do this?

"What?" Duan Xiaofei heard Lin say this, but he didn't hear the point of Lin's words.

"Stupid. Lin continued, "The least likely person to send someone out to assassinate you right now is your rival, the Second Prince!"

"This is impossible!" Wren was puzzled and said, "His Royal Highness and the second prince are clearly in a competitive relationship, if something happens to His Highness, it will be the second prince who will benefit!"

"That's why I say you're stupid. Lin sneered, "Do you think that if something happens to the eldest prince at this time, what will the people of your demon clan think? Presumably, the news that the eldest prince and the second prince are going to duel in three months has already spread throughout the demon capital, and if any of them are killed, then it will be regarded as a means used by the other party to secretly make it." ”

"Then he will stand on the opposite side of public opinion, bearing a notoriety of dishonesty and unrighteousness?" Duan Xiaofei continued.

"Hehe, that's why I say that the least likely person to come to assassinate you is your direct competitor, provided that he is not a fool, of course. After Lin finished speaking, she looked down at her book and no longer paid attention to the conversation between Duan Xiaofei and Ren and Jessica.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, who is behind the assassination?" said Ellie, "The Neet and Dick who came to assassinate His Highness are both under the Second Prince's men." ”

"People die for money, birds die for food, and if someone else bids high enough, it's not impossible for them to come out alone and make a profit. Duan Xiaofei said, "Moreover, I don't think they would have thought that if I died, the interests of their masters would also be harmed." ”

"But...... Except for the second prince, only the third prince and the fourth prince can inherit the position of the demon king in blood. Ellie said.

"Your Royal Highness, the third prince likes freedom, he only cares about traveling in the mountains and rivers every day, he doesn't want to fight for the position of the demon king, do you say it will be the fourth prince? Although the fourth prince has always been guarding the North Wind Fortress and is far away from the demon capital, but the fourth prince has a heavy army!"

"Although the number of legionnaires stationed in the North Wind Fortress is not as large as that of the Demon Capital, and the Demon Capital can also mobilize the surrounding troops, only the soldiers of the North Wind Fortress are really trained on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness with the army of the Demon Capital is by no means at the same level, if he wants to compete for the position of the Demon King......" Jessica continued with Wren's words.

"But the fourth prince has always been a heroic person, if he wants to seize the throne, he can lead his troops south, and even as long as he raises his arms and calls, he will get the support of many people, and he has fought countless battles, and his personal strength is also very strong, as the only one among the princes who cultivates martial arts, he is now about to touch the threshold of a transcendent warrior, if it is in the form of a challenge, I am afraid that the other princes together are not his opponents. Wren shook his head lightly and said, "If the fourth prince is secretly engaged in a conspiracy, I don't believe it. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but this is not belittling your strength. Wren bowed slightly to Duan Xiaofei and said.

"Damn politics. Duan Xiaofei hammered his thigh and said, "I don't know what happened now, but if it's really as you said, wouldn't every prince have no reason to assassinate me?"

Wren and Jessica lowered their heads, everything they had to say was finished, and the rest depended on Duan Xiaofei's choice.

"Teacher, the ...... Do you have any suggestions?" Duan Xiaofei looked at Lin who was sitting in the chair, however, Lin was not very interested in these things, and participating in political disputes was not as interesting to her as reading a magic book or configuring a new magic potion.

"Don't look at me, I'm your teacher, but I only teach you magic, and you still have to solve the affairs of your demons yourself. Lin said without raising her head.

"Since the Demon Capital can't go back for the time being, then it's just right, you guys go to the north with me, I'm going to the Elf Collar for a while, and then I will decide whether to return to the Demon Capital or not depending on the situation." Duan Xiaofei made up his mind.

"Well, we will follow His Highness's orders. Wren and Jessica said.

"In addition, Wren, Jessica, and Ellie, when you are outside, don't call me Your Highness, now my identity is a noble young master from the Eastern Great Yan Dynasty, come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, my name is Duan Xiaofei, you can call me young master. Duan Xiaofei reminded.

"Yes, young master. ”
