"However, the Five Nations Alliance is indeed underestimating the Celestial Star Empire this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gu Crocodile changed his words: "The current Celestial Star Empire is indeed the most turbulent moment in the past twenty years. But our Emperor His Majesty is not dead, and the old lords of the major families are still alive. As long as these people are still around, there will be no major changes in the Celestial Star Empire. The strength of the Celestial Star Empire will not be greatly depleted. ”

"So the situation is very different from the beginning. The strategy sought by the Five Nations Alliance for a quick victory was completely shattered, and it turned into a continuous confrontation with the Celestial Star Empire. The Five Nations Alliance will not be able to wipe out the Celestial Star Empire in the short term. Although the Celestial Star Empire was unable to resolve the crisis quickly and was slightly at a disadvantage, it still had more than enough to protect itself. ”

Lin Zhan nodded, and then asked, "Then in the current situation, what benefits can we get?"

"Childe, I have ordered our various forces to be gathered and prepare for war. ”

Lin Zhan asked, "Where are you going to prepare for war?"

Gu Crocodile said: "Returning to the prince, according to the news from the palace. Now the situation of the war is stalemate, the big war is decreasing, and the small war is continuous, and this is the case in all directions. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor considered sending the younger generation to the various fronts to sharpen his skills, hoping to unearth a few usable talents. ”

Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Is it credible?"

Gu Crocodile said with certainty: "Ninety percent sure." ”

Gu Crocodile continued: "Now that the Celestial Star Empire is in internal and external wars, it is still the ministers of the older generation who are taking the lead, which inevitably gives people a sense of rigidity. Now the war has entered a phase of stalemate, and all affairs are stable. It is not surprising that His Majesty wants to use this to test and promote the younger generation. ”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhan asked, "Will all the children of the family be recruited?"

"Not only the children of the family, but even those princes and grandsons can't escape. ”

The determination was so great, but Lin Zhan was a little surprised.

"Speaking of the prince and grandson, how is our lovely sixth prince now?"

Gu Crocodile said with a smile: "According to the information we have gotten, this prince has also found more than a dozen highly respected imperial doctors at the beginning. But three months later, he honestly came to the door to see his son. It's just that at that time, Childe was already on his way to the Frozen Temple, and his subordinates received him. Now he has no choice unless he wants to die. This time the news in the palace was the last to be confirmed from him. ”

Liu Xiang, the sixth prince. At the beginning, Zhang Jiye and Zhang Weiye joined Ma Bukong to kidnap Lin Ling and dedicate it to the six princes, on the one hand, to slap the six princes, and on the other hand, to shave Lin Zhan's eyebrows and let out a bad breath. This sixth prince was so obsessed that he happily accepted it, and he was ready to insult Lin Ling. As a result, it was taken by Lin Zhan, who arrived in time.

Among the participants in the Lin Ling incident, Ma Bukong was the most miserable, and he was tortured by Lin Zhan to the point that he was not human. Zhang Jiye was beaten dozens of canes for Zhang Weiye's defense of the crime, and he recuperated at home for more than a month. Zhang Wei also directly became a laughing stock among the imperial families, and he still doesn't even dare to go out of the gate. As for the remaining small fish and shrimp, naturally none of them ran away and were cleaned up by Lin Zhan sooner or later.

But the most amazing thing in this matter is that Liu Xiang, the sixth prince who almost committed violence to Lin Ling, who should have been cut by Lin Zhan with a thousand knives, actually didn't have anything to do, Lin Zhan just let him go, and he didn't trouble him again.

Correspondingly, the six princes above the court actually defended Lin Zhan, which made people have to consider whether there was any connection between them.

Most people speculated that an agreement was reached between Lin Zhan and the Six Princes, and Lin Zhan no longer pursued the matter and even covered it up for the Six Princes. And the six princes spoke for Lin Zhan in front of the emperor and put all the responsibility on Ma Bukong.

Of course, this was a very normal transaction, and Lin Zhan was able to get out of the event with his whole body in the aftermath of the incident. The six princes avoided the notoriety of raping the people's daughters, avoided the conflict with the Lin family, and left a good impression in front of the emperor who took the overall situation into account.

But Lin Zhan's thinking is different from ordinary people. Lin Zhan can sit with people he doesn't like and talk and laugh for some interests, but he will never let go of anyone who tries to hurt the people he cherishes.

So contrary to other people's speculations, Lin Zhan didn't think about letting go of the sixth prince Liu Xiang at all.

For Liu Xiang, the sixth prince, the night he was detained by Lin Zhan was the last nightmare he wanted to recall in his life.

Lin Zhan stripped the guards of the Ma family and his own guards one by one in front of him, and Ling Chi was executed. A person who was alive a moment ago turned into a pile of meat sauce in front of his eyes.

That night, the sixth prince knew for the first time what the human body looked like, for the first time he knew that a person had two hundred and six bones, and for the first time he knew that Ling Chi actually had to cut three thousand three hundred and fifty-seven knives when he was executed.

In the first half of the night, the sixth prince's body was not damaged in the slightest, but his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

No matter how noble a person usually looks, when he is faced with how a life is dying little by little, piece by piece, for the first time, the mental blow is great.

Especially watching the cruelest punishment in the world unfold in front of you in front of you, the feeling is enough to drive anyone crazy.

And in the second half of the night, the six princes learned that sometimes death is not necessarily the most painful.

Lin Zhan didn't actually do anything, just fed the Sixth Prince some poison that Gu Crocodile had gotten with a lot of effort.

This is a mixture of hundreds of toxic and non-toxic drugs, and the name is unknown. To be precise, it is a poison that has not yet been shown to the world. At the beginning, Gu Crocodile discovered this poison in the hands of a strange man in the mountains. After Gu Crocodile discovered this poison, he killed all the people who could prepare this poison and all those who knew about it. Therefore, the only people in this world who know the formula and know this poison are Gu Crocodile and Lin Zhan.

Gu Crocodile once boasted to Lin Zhan that the effect of this medicine was amazing. And this experiment on the Six Princes just proved its effect.

There is actually only one effect of this medicine, and that is to control a person's heartbeat, so that a person's heartbeat changes with the sunrise and sunset.

When sunlight is present, this medicine does not have any effect on the human body. But when the sun sets, the person's heartbeat stops suddenly. And the most amazing thing is that even if the heart stops, the person will not die immediately, at least a month later, and die violently on one night.

The Six Princes never knew what it would be like to have their hearts stopped, but since that night, the Six Princes never wanted to experience a feeling more terrifying than death.

There is no heartbeat, no pulse, no body temperature or even the feeling of existence, everything is deprived of oneself, like a zombie that cannot move, lying there alone to experience the feeling of no temperature.

After determining the effect of the drug, Lin Zhan did not directly threaten it, but put the six princes back within three months.

After the six princes returned to the palace, they immediately summoned more than a dozen respected old doctors to diagnose themselves, but in the end, all the imperial doctors came to the same conclusion.

There was nothing wrong with the body of the six princes, and there was not the slightest sign of poisoning.

When hearing this unanimous conclusion, the Sixth Prince suddenly thought of what Lin Zhan had said before he left.

"The antidote given to you is only valid for three months. Give you three months and you can do anything. But if you don't stand in front of me again in three months, then be prepared to die on that cold night. ”

Just three months later, when the cold feeling of no heartbeat and no temperature enveloped him again, the sixth prince finally chose to surrender to Lin Zhan.

However, there was an accident, at that time, Lin Zhan had been sent by Lin Tianxiao to the Frozen Temple to heal his injuries, and the six princes did not see Lin Zhan. Gu Crocodile came forward to reach an agreement with the Six Princes: Gu Crocodile would regularly provide the Antidote to the Six Princes in the future, and the Six Princes would listen to all kinds of news in the royal family as Lin Zhan's internal adviser.

It turns out that it is too convenient to have such a prince as an internal response.

After Gu Crocodile confirmed the news from the Sixth Prince, he immediately ordered to gather forces and train for battle.
