In the huge imperial city, a man who obviously had an imperial robe but did not wear it, alone, paced slowly, he seemed to be thinking about something, sometimes frowning, sometimes stunned, and then shook his head and continued to move forward.

When he raised his head, he was an extremely immature face, with a delicate appearance, if he wore a dress and spread his long hair, he probably looked like a beauty who had captivated the country and the city. It's just such a man who looks weak, but he has a pair of eyes that seem to have gone through vicissitudes, and there are no waves in the ancient well.

With such a pair of eyes, if you don't lose confidence in life, then you have truly experienced the hardships of life and the cold of the world.

Apparently, he is the latter.

He looked at the high walls of the Imperial City, and as far as the eye could see, there were only red walls and the sky. I don't know when I've been used to looking at what I can see, just because I've been watching it for so many years. The young man sighed, he lowered his head, shook his head, and raised his head again, his eyes sharp, as if he had made up his mind.

If there is one person who can own Luo Shuiguo, then it can only be me!

The young man clenched his palms and gritted his teeth.

Although I have pretended not to care about the battle for the throne for so many years, and let the eldest brother and the second brother intrigue and lose both, but I actually know everything, know everything, and your so-called intrigue is actually a child's trick in my eyes. Now that the second brother has been solved by a foreigner woman, as the eldest brother, do you think that your throne is sitting firmly like this? The young man tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his face was cold.

The man turned to look in the direction of the emperor's throne, where he should be enjoying this short-term position as emperor, right? You're sitting there right now, really...... Somewhat early"

The young man slowly rolled up his sleeves, and a long scar gradually revealed, and what had not healed for many years may not only be a physical scar. He looked at the scar on his arm and rubbed it gently with his hand, his eyes full of sorrow, his fingers running over the long, crooked scar, and the young man was stunned.

There were some things he wanted to do by himself, but he didn't expect Tusheng to change, and he was actually preempted by a foreign woman, or not, he also saved me from doing it myself, and the young man's fingers were bruised.

He just felt a little pity, that kind of death seemed to be a little merciful to his second brother, and he originally thought that the way of that person's death should be more "eloquent". It's a pity, the young man clenched his fingers, his fingers made a joint sound, his face was dark, and he suddenly said, "Yue Jie." "It is strange that a man in a black robe appeared at some point, more respectful than he had been in the palace.

He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness." The young man rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Is that woman's background investigation clear?" The man in black said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, according to the spy report, that woman seems to be a snake demon who has just successfully [molted], and she has only recently entered Milo City, as for the conflict with the Second Highness, it is because the Second Highness ......" The young man interrupted the man in black and sneered: "Presumably that guy can't control the bird under his crotch again, and he is causing trouble at will, right?" The man in black broke out in a cold sweat, and talking to this third prince was even more terrifying than talking to the real Ninety-Five Venerable. That one is addicted to the sound of dogs and horses, and has no psychology to go to the government, so it doesn't matter to himself, let his subordinates mess around, anyway, he doesn't have a few years to live, rather than sitting at the desk every day to deal with court affairs, it is better to be accompanied by beautiful wines and have fun in time. So every time the man in black faced the emperor, he was more talking, and the man listened symbolically, and then returned to his "gentle country" to enjoy himself.

And what about the third prince? He has ambition, patience, and ability. Why would such a man with imperial qualifications endure for many years without saying a word, and in recent years, he has gradually begun to show abilities that are extremely inconsistent with his age. He didn't dare to ask this question, and he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to ask it. It's just that when I think about it occasionally, I feel a chill behind me, which is shocking.

The young man slowly lowered his sleeves to cover the terrifying scar on his arm, and the man in black noticed the scar on the third prince's hand, and then he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at it again. Because he felt the gaze of the man, a little cold and piercing.

Over the years, the third prince has cultivated a lot of obedient "chess pieces" and used them for him, as for how he won the trust of these people and how he won the hearts of the people, the university question is worth scrutinizing and pondering. In the past few years, no one knows what the third prince has done, but only that the third prince likes to walk around, no matter where it is, the streets where people come and go, the ancient trees that are uninhabited, and the old wells that are dry...... It seems that there is no place in Luo Shui Country that he has not been, and gradually, although the third prince is usually inconspicuous, he has established a good image in the minds of the people of Luo Shui Country, and even the people have built a shrine for him and enshrined him.

It's just that these news are only circulating among the people, and they have not reached the ears of the other two princes, and for this matter, it can reflect the unique skills of the third prince. Blocking news is far more difficult than spreading it, and spreading news only requires a talking mouth, while blocking news requires the unswerving hearts of the people and countless mouths that will be closed at the right time.

It can be seen that this third prince is really not simple.

This is the so-called emperor, right?

In this regard, he did better than his father, the second prince who had died and the eldest prince who was now complacent were not good, they could only look at him, but they were separated by an unknown number of Luo Shui countries. So the man in black is very glad that he made the right choice a few years ago. That decision at the beginning, now that I think about it carefully, actually saved my own life. Otherwise, with the heart of the third prince, he must have died quietly at the party three years ago, silently, no one will notice his disappearance, he believes, this third prince, must be able to do it! This is not blind trust, but his deep feeling over the years, what life is better than death, he has seen too much, so he will become more and more cautious, step by step.

The young prince waved his hand, motioned for the man in black to stand up, and then said, "That woman doesn't need to pay too much attention, just need to know her location at all times, and the young men and women who have recently entered the city need to pay close attention." He smiled, looked at the wall, and continued, "I've heard an interesting thing that you can put to good use. ”

The man in black immediately understood and retired.

It's important.

The young prince stood on the huge Imperial City Avenue like this, he stopped and looked into the distance, looked at the sky, squinted his eyes, and said, "It's my turn." ”

Not far away, in a shadow, a graceful woman in red sneered, she twisted her fingers, her red nails still looked bewitching even in the dark, her fingers crossed the city wall, silent, but left a thin mark on the wall.

She disappeared in place, silent.

The weather was unpredictable and warmed up a little suddenly. The floating clouds in the sky slowly drifted away, mixed with golden sunlight and hot air, dormant in the bodies of the people of Luo Shui Kingdom, quietly.

——————————————————

In the imperial city of Luoshui Kingdom, there are two old trees that have witnessed a long time, a locust tree and a cypress tree. One is in front of the [Fengyue Hall], and the other is under the steps of the [Dacheng Hall]. It is said that this was planted by the first president of the National University of Luo Shuiguo, the priest of the country, the priest of the country.

The cypress tree is still stubborn, and the old trunk and horizontal branches are swaying, and it seems that it can live for another few hundred years. The locust tree, sparsely draped with a few thin branches, was dry and stiff, completely lifeless, and was too old to look good. Looking at its appearance, it is difficult to tell if it is still alive, and legend has it that it died once a long time ago, dead for decades, but one year I don't know how to live again. But this is all an old thing, no one will mention it, only this old sacrificial wine lord still has some thoughts, often go to the old locust tree to turn around, and then ask someone to move a bamboo chair, he sat on the chair, looking at the old locust tree, looking at it, as if he saw the original self.

Now, they're all old. The old sacrificial wine sighed and looked at the old locust tree quietly, his eyes confused. The old sacrificial wine often said that his yellowed eyes were seen in the Elysium in people's mouths, and there was no way, the body was now more eager to run to that place than he thought, what do you call this? The old sacrificial wine sighed again, he was old, although he saw many things in his eyes, he was already powerless, this feeling of powerlessness, he still hadn't gotten used to it, he himself always wanted to fight again, even if he flicked his fingers and plucked off some dust.

He looked in the other direction, still a little uneasy, his proudest disciple's temperament, he was clear. Although it may be because he is still a little too conservative, he is always worried that his disciple's wrist is a little too strong, and it may not be as simple as removing the dust at that time, presumably at that time, it will be more appropriate to use the word "bloodbath" to describe it, right?

The old priest shook his head, leaning back in his chair and crossing his hands.

That's it, young people have their own ideas, I, the old man, should watch quietly, I just hope that before the old man and I pass away, I can see Luo Shuiguo see the light and vitality again.

The old sacrificial wine looked at the old Huai, smiled, and fell asleep quietly.

At this time, a young man appeared beside him and smiled, "It's still a little cold." Then he gently put a long blanket over the old sacrificial wine, and continued, "Take care of yourself, teacher. The third prince's eyes were warm, a kind of gentle closeness that had never appeared under his hands, he bent over, gently helped the old priest to fold the blanket, smiled, and slowly left.

Teacher, you'll see that day, wait and see, soon.

The young man walked slowly, with a firm step. He looks like an emperor at this time.

——————————————————————

A simple and elegantly furnished inn room.

A woman was meditating quietly, and the table in front of her was full of all kinds of materials she had collected, in order to collect these materials, she could be said to have exhausted her mind, but there was no way, the reason why she came to Luo Shui Country was because of this matter. This incident has been bothering her for a long time, and from that chance in the mountains, she saw a scene that is still unforgettable.

That day, she saw many faded human skins, shimmering in the blazing sun.

From that day on, she began to investigate this matter, because this matter was related to her own avenue and heart, so she acted resolutely, even if it was a little clue, in her eyes, it was like a towering mountain, which could not be ignored, so she traced it all the way to Luo Shuiguo, during which a lot of things happened, some were expected, and some were unexpected.

Killing people at will, cruel means, this is an act of anger and disdain for her, in fact, the most important thing is that technique, that molting technique is somewhat like a process of [metamorphosis] of her own clan. She had no clue about this for so long, but she vaguely had some ideas. She didn't dare to think about it, because it was really scary.

She opened her eyes, a trace of white aura slowly drifted away from her body, she spread her hands, slowly smoothed the folds on her clothes, looked at her legs, and sighed. I had consumed too much cultivation before, and it was difficult to maintain my body, so I finally recovered some of it, and I barely recovered my body, but now it seems that it is still a little reluctant.

The woman in white stood up, walked to the table and sat down, and began to sort through the mess again, she frowned, and thought carefully, it seemed that the matter was much more serious than she expected. She was depressed.

Suddenly, she turned her body away, and her lower body subconsciously melted like heavy snow, quickly turning into a snake body, dodging a tricky sword dart. The sword dart went through the table where she had just been scrolling through the information, and sank into the ground. The table fell apart and dusted after a few moments.

"Who is it!?" The woman in white turned her body and slid to the side, a slender silver sword slowly appeared in her hand, she frowned, and felt two different breaths, could it be two groups of people? She looked around carefully, looking for a way out, she knew that she only had the seven success power at her peak, and she couldn't deal with two classes of people at the same time, so she had to quickly find an opportunity to escape from this place, leaving Qingshan not afraid of no firewood.

"Hmph!" a sneer came out, melodious, and a masked man in black appeared on the beam of the room, holding a sword dart in his hand, it seemed that the previous sword dart with a tricky angle was his handiwork. The woman's horizontal sword was in front of her chest, the sword aura was cold, and the cold light was shining. "You killers, why do you wear black every time, don't you have any other clothes?" the woman in white sneered.

The masked man didn't seem to be very satisfied with his previous sword dart, after hearing the woman's words, he didn't care whether the person who had not made a move was friend or foe, jumped directly from the beam of the house, and hit another sword dart in the air, this time the strength was much greater than just now, and there was a huge explosion in the air, like spring thunder exploding in the ears, deafening. The woman's expression froze, the snake body swung, and she dodged the sword dart very quickly, but her skin was still cut by the air flow when the sword dart slashed, and the masked man sneered, and without saying much, he threw a sword dart again.

This time, it was three swords and darts fired in unison, but it seemed to be even more silent, as if mixed with the air, but faster, it instantly penetrated the shoulders of the woman in white and the body of the snake, the three blood holes were gurgling blood, the woman's white clothes were already dyed red, she gritted her teeth, and cold sweat flowed.

These three sword darts are completely incomparable with the two just now, even if they have a premonition of the direction of the sword darts, they are unavoidable, after the sword darts instantly pass through their bodies, their hidden internal strength is completely revealed, just like the spring thunder that exploded in the body one after another, one after another, painful.

The woman coughed up a mouthful of blood, pressed her wound, and quickly tapped her fingers on the wound a few times, and then a thin layer of ice appeared on the wound, freezing the wound and stopping the flow of blood. The man in black smiled, it seems that this killer still has some ability, and he has to take it seriously. His eyes were playful, looking at the woman's eyes like looking at an ant lying on the ground.

Ants, trampling on them, that is, a matter of one foot.

The masked man disappeared in an instant, and the woman in white's eyes quickly widened, and she quickly slashed away with her sword. But it was too late, and the man appeared behind the woman, his hands covered with blood, and he was smiling. Turning to look, the woman didn't know when a long sword dart had been inserted in front of her, she still maintained the posture of holding the sword, but her eyes had been dizzed, she grabbed the long sword inserted in her chest with her right hand, the white light flashed in her hand, and the cold air bursted, and soon, the long sword condensed into ice and was resolutely pinched off by the woman with her hand.

The man in black nodded, feeling that this mortal person asked for above was somewhat interesting, he wrapped his hand around his back, and slowly pulled out a sword dart with a unique style, which was full of poison, the man bent his knees slightly, and threw the sword dart out of his right hand one by one, and threw it at the woman who was already half dead, he stood in place, decided to watch her die slowly, and then take off her head and go back to receive the reward, and then find a tavern to drink a glass of the best wine in the store, happy as a fairy.

Suddenly, the man in black began to retreat quickly, because the sword dart that should have passed through the woman's heart disappeared silently, like a snowflake melting. The man had just fled to the window, ready to leave the place quickly, but he suddenly couldn't move, and an indifferent voice came: "It's almost enough, this woman's life is not something you can ask for." The man in black hurriedly waved his hand and said nervously: "I don't want it, I don't want it, that woman is at your disposal, and I beg my seniors to let me go." The man's voice trembled, his eyes rolled, and he couldn't see the man hiding in the shadows, which made him feel more uneasy, and for a long time, he didn't respond.

The man asked again, "Senior?" He looked at the half-dead woman, and decisively jumped out of the window, preparing to escape. At this moment, a flat voice came out again: "Don't go yet." The man in black trembled, and threw out all the swords and darts on his body, and he took advantage of his strength to retreat, and decided to quickly escape from this place of right and wrong, and the sword darts flew quickly into the room like a large net in the air, as long as one sword dart stabbed him, only one! As long as he stabbed the unknown strange assassin, he could win the chance to escape.

"The carving insect skill is worthy of being an ant. An indifferent voice came out, and I saw that when those sword darts flew to the window, they seemed to have hit a transparent wall, and it was difficult to get in an inch, and those sword darts hung by the window, trembling slightly. A snap of fingers rang out, and the darts quickly reversed course and flew faster towards the masked men fleeing into the distance.

"No!" the masked man's heart-wrenching cry quickly vanished.

He exploded and shattered in the air, like a rare blood-colored firework, scattered on the streets and alleys.

In the world, there are many such scenes.

in the room.

A man also wearing a black robe slowly walked out of the darkness, he looked at the woman who still had a breath, his fingers hooked, the unconscious woman slowly floated off the ground, a few pieces of ice fell and shattered.

The man looked at the woman's injuries and said coldly, "It's still alive." Then he disappeared with the woman in place, a slightly swirling cyclone in the air, and the broken ice on the ground had melted.

The sun was shining outside the window, and it seemed that the city of Milo was even more beautiful.

————————————————————

Inside the Imperial City.

A young man wearing an imperial robe walked into the gate of the Guozijian, this is a strange thing, you know, this is the first time that the third prince has put on the imperial robe, he has never worn it before, what is going on today? The father-in-law who passed by whispered, and when they saw the man's gaze, they were silent, and they were respectful.

The man smiled, he was wearing a mutton fat jade hairpin on his head, and a silk robe embroidered with gold dragons on a black background fit very well, outlining his slender figure just right, his eyes were deep, staring at the gate of the Guozijian - Zhongxian Gate. A yellow glazed archway, inside the archway is a very large and gorgeous building, that is, [moon machine]. This is the most central and most prominent building of Guozijian. This was created by the emperor when he was still working hard. The moon machine is also the learning of the Son of Heaven. What the study of the Son of Heaven should look like has always been a matter of opinion, and no one can say clearly.

The man walked into this very grand square hall, with heavy eaves, two layers of columns, covered with yellow glazed tiles, and a huge gilded roof, and the beams and pillars were decorated with gold, all of which were painted with vermilion lacquer and painted with gold. The young man smiled, looking like a large sedan chair.

The main hall is open on all sides, and it can be opened. The pond is surrounded by white stone railings, and there are stone bridges on all sides. The pattern is very exquisite.

The man looked at the somewhat empty hall, a little lost.

Teacher, it's really interesting to have no of you.

He walked slowly, as if he were taking a walk, looking east and west. Estimating that it was almost over, he suddenly spoke: "How's the matter going?" A man in black instantly appeared beside him, knelt on one knee, crossed his arm in front of his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Highness, everything has been arranged." The young prince nodded and asked, "The letter was delivered?" The man replied, "Back to Your Highness, the letter has been delivered to the hands of the group." ”

The young man curled the corners of his mouth, "That's good, I'll wait for them now." He waved his hand to signal the man in black to step down, and the man quickly disappeared in place. The third prince of the Luo Shui Kingdom sat on the steps in the [Moon Machine] hall like this, looking at the empty hall, he narrowed his deep eyes and muttered, "It's started." ”

In the empty hall, a young man in an imperial robe sat on the steps, quietly watching the ups and downs of Luo Shuiguo's national fortunes.

His heart is like water.

——————————————

Evening.

Lin Futian and they had just found an inn to settle in, and suddenly, a broken window sounded, Lin Futian wiped his hands, grabbed the sword dart, looked down, there was a note on the sword dart, wrote a few lines, Lin Futian looked at it, his face changed greatly. Luo Mei was frightened by the movement just now, the incident happened suddenly, almost had no time to dodge, this sword dart didn't know where it flew from, there was no sound, if it wasn't for Lin Futian's sensitivity, between several people, at least one person would be hit hard.

Mo Yunfu breathed a sigh of relief, holding a coin between his fingers, he looked out the window, his face was solemn, this kind of handwriting is not something ordinary people can do. He pinched his fingers and counted, and his heart was as cold as water in an instant, and cold sweat flowed.

Several people gathered around Lin Futian and saw the contents of the note, Luo Mei's face changed greatly, and they looked at Xu Qing, who had been pretending to be calm. Xu Qing was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, I have to go." ”

Whether the note was true or not, he had to make this trip, it wasn't impulsive, it wasn't reckless, it was something he had to do, whether it was a trap or not.

It's a trap, I jump, it's the south wall, and I break it.

Xu Qing raised his head, looked at Lin Futian, and was resolute.

Lin Futian looked at Xu Qing and just said, "I'll accompany you." Xu Qing nodded.

"Why do you go with him, I'll go too!" said Lomé. Mo Yunfu and Zhao Jingzhi also said: "That's right!

Xu Qing clasped his hands together, "Then I'll thank you all first." ”

After speaking, Xu Qing stepped out, and the next moment he had already appeared in the sky outside, "Brother Lin, I will take the first step." He was covered in gold, bathed in golden light, and his hands were folded. Just like this, the melodious Buddha sound surrounds the air. At this time, Xu Qing can really be called a "monk who has attained the Tao".

Such a realm is hard to come by and very rare.

High in the sky, although Xu Qing's face was calm, it was actually like a dark tide, and under his gentle face, there was a monstrous anger, which made him even calmer. He felt that when he would make a move, he would only be more ruthless, and he would not leave a trace of mercy.

He knew his inner voice all the better, that woman, whether she liked him or not, he was going to do it, even if it was to give his life, and he decided to let go of all his life's madness, regardless of it.

For that woman is the flower that never withers in his heart.

High in the sky, a strong golden light pierced the night, illuminating the entire Milo City in a golden yellow, it went all the way, dragging a long golden line behind it, heading towards the direction of the imperial city.
