It's not that Ben Xue doesn't want to get rid of Chen Rui, but from the perspective of interests, she currently needs to use Chen Rui's Liliang to enter the Bright Holy Mountain again to comprehend the origin of creation, after all, this is the most important purpose for her to lurk for so many years and then come to the ground.

Chen Rui's murderous intent towards Ben Xue is even heavier, because Ben Xue has threatened the safety of his most cherished relatives and friends in the Demon Realm, and his cooperation with Ben Xue is not for profit, but forced by the situation, whether it is the Bright Thunder of Light or the Holy Grail, it is not enough to really control Ben Xue, but it only increases the weight of the chips in his hand, so that he can be regarded as competing for the most Haode result under the comparison of his existing strength.

As for the Tower of Splendour, it is an unexpected gain, and it is also a step of cooperation between the two sides.

Ben Xue proposed to continue to live on the six-star mark on Chen Rui's wrist, but Chen Rui refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient for him to practice and live, and only said that he would wait until the time was ripe to go to the Bright Holy Mountain before he would live in the house. And Chen Rui tentatively led the topic to the equal contract, but was also quietly changed by Ben Xu. After personally experiencing Chen Rui's abolition of the pseudo-god-level contract and the strange liliang of that "kingdom of God", at least in terms of ability and scheming, Ben Xue no longer has the high-minded and down-looking mentality he had before, but puts Chen Rui at the height of an almost equal opponent.

There is a lesson from the battle of the Holy Mountain, whether it is Chen Rui or Ben Xu, they are a little more wary of the other party, in fact, the real hole cards of the two sides are definitely more than what they see on the surface. Whether it is to seek the skin of the tiger or the yellow finch behind, no one is sure at present.

That's it. Ben stayed in the Lord's Palace. Chen Rui then explained the origin of Ben to Lola and Isabella, and even Lola was taken aback. Unexpectedly, this "guest" who came to visit and had a considerable insight into magic turned out to be a powerful pseudo-god in the silver box in the Darkmoon Territory!

However, this terrible enemy has now gone from the darkness to the light. It also changed the status of a "temporary ally" with common interests. In any case, before heading to the Bright Sacred Mountain, the risk factor of Ben Xue is not too threatening for the time being.

Evening.

The Imperial Palace of the Longhuang Empire.

Emperor Rex the Great is pondering on the throne, the recent disappearance of Arthur has complicated the relationship with the Blue Yao Empire, and it must be carefully sorted out to maximize the benefits.

In fact, he knows better than anyone else the role of a father who has a bloodline sense. Arthur may be missing, but he is not dead.

At this time, Urthor, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, came to report: "Bixia, Princess Phil has something important and wants to report to Bixia. ”

Rex the Great groaned slightly, "Let her in." ”

"Yes. ”

Soon, Princess Phil appeared in front of Rex the Great.

For this daughter, Rex the Great still likes it very much, because Phil is not only well-behaved and docile, but also born to the late Empress Ekarina. He himself can't remember how many women there were in the life of Rex the Great, and there were hundreds of concubines who had been ordained. However, his beloved woman was always only Ikarina, and after Icarina died of illness, he still did not have another queen.

Love the house and the black underneath. Rex is also very fond of Arthur and Phil, the pair of children left behind by Ikarina, but Arthur mysteriously disappeared seven years ago, and now he has reappeared and set off a series of waves. Especially the Lan Yao Empire's refusal to marry in public, it is hard to imagine that the son who behaved calmly and mentally extraordinary in front of him did it. And that's not all. What baffled Rex was that after this boiling rejection. Arthur disappeared again......

"Father. ”

Princess Phil's voice interrupted Rex the Great's thoughts, and looking at his daughter standing in front of him, Rex vaguely saw a little of Ikalina's shadow, and his eyes softened a lot.

"Fei'er, you came to me, what's the matter?"

"Father, I ......"

Seeing her stumbling appearance, Rex smiled and said, "Are you worried about Proyo? He is now staying in the Blue Yao Empire as an envoy to negotiate Arthur's disappearance, or I will transfer him back to China." ”

"No......" Although Fei'er didn't have a special affection for Proio, the object of the marriage, but the other party was the confirmed fiancé after all, the girl's face suddenly turned red, she shook her head vigorously, and looked at the guards on the left and right: "Father, I want to report this matter to you alone, okay?"

Rex nodded, waved his hand to the left and right, and the guards retreated.

"Alright, Fei'er, now you can speak. ”

Fei Er said hesitantly: "Actually, it's the Third Emperor Brother......"

"Arthur?" Rex frowned, his pupils shrank, and his gaze fell on the figure that was gradually condensing beside Fei'er, and his original questioning tone turned into shock: "Arthur!"

Originally, Emperor Rex had a special blood sense for his children, but now I don't know if it was due to some special concealment ability or the illusion caused by Fei'er's side, this missing son suddenly appeared without the slightest warning in advance.

“bixia。 Chen Rui saluted Rex.

"I'm sorry, Father, I ......" Fei'er lowered her head.

"It doesn't matter about Fei'er," Chen Rui glanced at this sister with a smile: "I asked her to keep it secret for the time being." ”

Rex felt the power of that clear bloodline, and bowed slightly: "Fei'er, you go out first, and tell Ursor to strengthen his vigilance, no one is allowed to approach without my order." ”

Fei'er gave Chen Rui an encouraging look, then bent down and bowed.

After Phil left, Rex asked, "Arthur, what happened, where have you been these days?"

"I don't know what the exact name of the place is, only that it's a hell-like being. If it weren't for luck, my life and soul would have been wiped out, and it would have cost me dearly to save my life - all three Guardians had fallen. ”

"With the strength of your three guardians, ...... All gone?" Rex looked shocked, originally in his impression, the lazy-looking super-strength man with a wine bottle in his hand was the strongest guardian. Even a certain weird onion had an aura that made ordinary saint-level powerhouses tremble, and those three women were much inferior.

However, in the subsequent information received from Proyo. He learned that the truly strongest guardian was the mysterious woman Lola with the veil. She also has an identity, a woman of "Arthur".

Arthur, there is such a powerful woman.

The most incredible thing is that three such powerful guardians have all fallen! It can be seen how dangerous "Arthur" is!

"Yes, they are all dead, but not in vain. Chen Rui's face didn't have any expression, but his eyes were like ice. Even Rex couldn't help but feel a chill.

Rex quietly changed the subject: "Weishenme wants to refuse marriage?"

"I remember that after the first meeting with Grandmaster Qikui, Bixia left me to talk," the coldness in Chen Rui's eyes gradually subsided, "Before Zuihou left, Bixia asked me a question. ”

"What I'm asking is, 'What do you want?'" Rex had a pretty good memory, and immediately remembered it, and snorted coldly, "Refusing to marry in public will cause disputes between the two countries...... That's what you want?"

"No, that's not what I wanted...... Maybe. It's what Bixia wants. Chen Rui shook his head and said an astonishing sentence.

"Ridiculous!" Rex slapped the armrest heavily, and the special metal material made a dull echo, "What do you mean by that!"

"Does Bixia remember. I also said to Bixia - 'My reappearance will upset the original balance and even destroy more things, but I can promise.' I will not shake Bixia's rule, I will only make it more solid'. ”

"You did say that. But what you're doing right now is simply upsetting the balance! for the sake of the woman who has lost her husband. For the sake of the so-called old love, you are willing to abandon your fiancée who has been waiting for you for seven years!

Facing Rex's undisguised anger, Chen Rui smiled and shook his head: "Lan Bisi didn't wait for me for seven years, but 'been' Bixia for seven years. In the past seven years, she has risen step by step from an ignorant and ignorant girl to a treacherous struggle, and even became a strong contender for the throne. I guess...... Bixia's pusher behind this should have played a considerable role, especially in her initial stage - although the Blue Yao Empire was strong, its strong fortresses were often captured from within. From this point of view, Bixia's move is far-sighted and a good move. ”

Rex's anger gradually subsided, he glanced at Chen Rui deeply, did not speak, and began to continue to move his index finger on the armrest. This is a subconscious habitual action, which is usually only experienced in two situations, the first is restlessness, and the second, killing intent.

"It's just that in recent years, the ability and courage that Lambis has shown, including something called 'ambition', has exceeded Bixia's expectations, and it has also become more and more difficult to control. If she really inherited the Blue Yao Empire, then it is very likely that that fortress will be even more difficult to overcome. To use an unfamiliar phrase from Bixia, it is 'to make a wedding dress for others'. So after my return, Bixia quickly restarted the marriage with the Blue Yao Empire, and just such a decision made the political situation of the Blue Yao Empire reshuffle. Even if the marriage fails, you can still have more control over something...... It's a pity that some things are not as good as the sky, and now they are being taken advantage of by Lan Bisi, and it has really become the climate, and Bixia wants to repeat the old tricks, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

"Go on. Rex's eyes flickered slightly, his fingers still tapping at the usual rhythm.

Chen Rui sighed: "People's desires are endless, especially the desire for power and control, Bixia's heart has always been very big, although the Longhuang Empire is one of the two holy empires, it can no longer satisfy Bixia's heart." Above...... It's just my guess.,What's offended?,Please forgive me.。 ”

"I don't care about the so-called 'offense' or 'forgiveness' at all. Rex sneered, "That's all you guess?"

"Bixia, the way you look at me now tells me that you are contradictory, and in fact, this contradiction has always existed. First of all, as a father, I definitely hope that my children will be as good as possible, or even surpass themselves. Chen Rui didn't care about Rex's fierce eyes, "But, as an emperor...... They often hope that their children will have excellent abilities and can inherit the inheritance, but they are also worried that they will be too good and will threaten their status. Am I right, 'Father'?"

Rex's eyes narrowed, "It's the first time in so many years since that time that you've called me 'Father', and I'll be happier if the tone wasn't so mocking." ”

"Bixia really cares about this kind of title?Bixia has always been a very strong emperor with a strong desire to control, as can be seen from the absolute rule of the Longhuang Empire. It's just that there are two sides to everything, and it is precisely because of your desire to control that you want your courtiers and even your sons to follow the prescribed line and range in your subconscious, and once you exceed this range, you will try to 'correct' this 'threat' or 'mistake' that you perceive. As a prince, I am good enough, far beyond the expectations of the 'father', and even beyond a certain limited psychological bottom line. If you really marry a 'strong help' like Lambis, once you get out of control, I'm afraid that the 'father' will be even more restless. You want me to be excellent, but you don't want me to be too good, you want to stifle the threat that Lambis may pose to the Longhuang Empire in the future through marriage, and you are worried that my 'alliance' with Lambis will shake your throne prematurely. As a monarch, such a contradiction is understandable, but doesn't Bixia feel too tired? If everything really goes on according to the framework of your limitations, do you think that such a 'framed' person is really capable of inheriting this country?"

"You can 'guess' this step is indeed better than I thought," Rex took a deep breath, "If you can really inherit power from me, you will probably become a great emperor, far more than I have achieved." But only if you can wait until that day. There can be many good princes, but there is only one emperor in the end. You're much stronger and smarter than either Luke or Garfield, and I don't think you're an impatient idiot. The more I tempted, the more I felt that I couldn't see through you. I don't understand, weishenme, you have to say it like this, weishenme, you can't be like Luke's forbearance?"

"What should be understood, will be understood. Chen Rui shrugged his shoulders, said a proverb that Rex didn't understand, and showed an indifferent expression: "So, the temptation that Bixia said...... Is it an ambush in the Black Rock Mountains?"

As soon as these words came out, Rex's face changed slightly, and he stopped tapping his index finger on the armrest. (To be continued......)
