Chapter 488: Confronting Emperor Xia
Zi Feng's words made everyone nervous again, and Zi Ning Xue hurriedly said: "Father, if Xiao Ran is controlled by Emperor Xia, then ......"
"Xiao Ran is an exception, his dark ability is extremely strange, and he may be able to dissolve a lot of things. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and he can connect to the Demon Realm, so it is not certain whether Emperor Xia's threat will be effective for him. I believe that Xiao Ran will get through the difficulties, let's continue to pretend to be people from the Lin Tea Garden, and not exposing ourselves is the greatest help to Xiao Ran. Zifeng said.
Han Zhao nodded in agreement: "The Lord of the Chen Alliance was arrested because he went to explore the Lu Palace. So we don't do anything during this time so that no one finds out. β
Everyone hurried back to the inn, at least until Tong Tong and the others entered Shenlong City, they would not act rashly.
As for Chen Ran, who was captured alive, he had been sent to the palace overnight.
The eight people of the zero department escorted all the way, Chen Ran's body was sealed, and he couldn't move at all, just one person could subdue him, but the masters of the zero department still acted together, which showed that they attached great importance to Chen Ran.
After the group arrived at the imperial city, they flew down, and no one dared to fly above the imperial city.
Fu Hao took out the token granted by Emperor Xia, and the Tianlong Department guarding it immediately let him go. Even the people of the Eight Divisions of the Ming Hall can't enter the Imperial City with their own tokens alone, and they must have the emperor's edict and imperial decree.
The group directly entered the Ruoda Imperial City, Chen Ran was carried by Liang Yefan, and was sneered at along the way: "Haha, aren't you very powerful? Now you haven't been captured alive, whether you are dead or alive, you can't show off your power anymore!"
Chen Ran didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and looked around the layout of the imperial city by himself.
As soon as you enter, you can see the Heavenly Dragon Palace, and everyone goes around from the east. A piece of building on the east side belongs to the East Palace, which is the residence of the crown prince Xia Fanxin, while a piece of the palace on the west side is the West Palace, which is the residence of the people in the palace, and the main residence is the eunuch.
There is a row of palaces behind the Tianlong Palace, this is the Zhengqing Palace, the Xia Emperor privately met with the ministers here, and the Lin King Xia Yin lived in a certain room in the Zhengqing Palace, and even the imperial study was also in the Zhengqing Palace. Behind is the harem, the residence of the queen concubine is in the harem, and the residence of the maid is in the corners of both sides of the harem.
The eight people of the zero department entered the Zhengqing Palace with Chen Ran, and the number of rooms in the long row was too many to count.
After walking for a short time, I have already arrived at the imperial study, because the imperial study is in the center of the Zhengqing Palace.
The inside of the imperial study was brightly lit, and there were eunuchs guarding outside. Fu Hao explained his intention, and the eunuch entered the imperial study to report.
This was followed by a summons: "Spread the Zero Department Fu Hao, Ye Meng Chenran Jin Jin!"
Fu Hao took Chen Ran in alone, and the eunuchs in the room went out of the house one after another, and then closed the door.
Bypassing a row of bookshelves, Emperor Xia, who was sitting in a position reading a book, came into view.
The first time he saw this person who was the most powerful and probably the strongest in the Shadow Continent, Chen Ran only felt a sense of imperial oppression, which made him gasp for breath. Obviously, the other party did not deliberately release coercion, just sitting there can bring great pressure to others.
Fu Hao knelt down to greet him, and Emperor Xia put down the book.
"Flatten. β
Xia Yan's eyes kept staring at Chen Ran, and Fu Hao was reporting the operation below.
"We lay in ambush in King Lu's Mansion for three days and three nights, and finally waited for Chenran ......"
"Okay, okay!" Xia Yan waved his hand impatiently, he didn't care about what happened, he only cared about the final result. Chen Ran was already in front of him, so this operation was successfully completed.
"You go down first. Xia Yan said lightly.
Fu Hao retired and left, even if Xia Yan did not give him rewards and rewards, he would not have any complaints. It seems that Xia Yan doesn't blame them, it is already the greatest gift.
Only Chen Ran and Xia Yan were left in the room, and after the initial nervousness, Chen Ran had already let go.
Xia Yan looked at it for a while and said, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Ran replied with an unchanged face: "I just took refuge in His Highness Ximen, and taking refuge in him is equivalent to taking refuge in the Xia Empire, so why should I be arrested?"
"Presumptuous!" Xia Yan suddenly drank.
This shout was earth-shattering, containing a powerful power of light, although there was no light to be seen, it was to oppress Chen Ran and lie directly to the ground.
Not to mention that Chen Ran didn't have the slightest strength at this moment, even in his heyday, he couldn't compete with Xia Yan alone.
Chen Ran, who fell to the ground, was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Where did I say something wrong?"
Xia Yan said coldly: "Defecting to Ximen Li, fanning the dispute between the crown prince, you still plan to kill the crown prince, isn't this a big rebellion?"
"Hmph, Xia Fanxin's scheming is too deep, and he is cautious. He pretends to be amiable on the surface, but stabs him from time to time behind his back, if this kind of person is allowed to sit on the throne, I believe everyone will not agree! Kill him as soon as possible, lest he stir up the situation in the court and make the empire turbulent!"
Xia Yan frowned, he was surprised that Chen Ran could say such a thing, but he continued to make things difficult: "There is no shortage of followers around the prince, and many generals of the Tianlong Department support the prince, how can you say that everyone will not agree?"
Chen Ran stood up with difficulty and retorted: "This is just a superficial phenomenon, only those stunned young people who like to fight and kill will believe him." There are so many wise men in the court, why didn't they support Xia Fanxin? It's because they know that Xia Fanxin will definitely cross the river and tear down the bridge, and this kind of unpopular prince should have been abolished a long time ago!"
Xia Yan said coldly: "You actually said bad things about my son in front of me, are you in a hurry to find death?"
Chen Ran retorted again: "What I said is just the truth, if it goes on like this, one day Xia Fanxin will definitely launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and then the entire empire will be shaken, or even torn apart, and the gains outweigh the losses! Only by establishing the prince as soon as possible and cutting off Xia Fanxin's ambitions can the empire be durable and stable!"
"Hahaha, you want to kill my son, and you still say so many high-sounding reasons, do I still have to thank you?"
Chen Ran said: "The grass people don't dare, I just don't want to see turmoil in my country." β
"Your own country?"
"That's right, I was born in Dark Cloud City, and the Xia Empire is naturally my motherland!" Chen Ran said without blushing and without a heartbeat.
In the intelligence of the Xia Empire, Chen Ran's previous record in Dark Cloud City was blank, so Xia Yan was not sure of his details.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and Xia Yan finally spoke: "For your sake for the country and the people, I will let you go today, but you will swear allegiance to the empire and be loyal to me in the future, instead of instigating Ximen to leave and fight with Xia Fanxin!"
Chen Ran did not rush to express his attitude, but said solemnly: "As long as the emperor determines the prince as soon as possible, I will serve you with peace of mind." β
Xia Yan was stunned, if Chen Ran agreed directly, maybe he would kill him immediately. Unexpectedly, Chen Ran said such a thing again, which suddenly made his murderous intent much smaller.
"I have already established the crown prince, he is the prince!" Xia Yan said coldly...... (To be continued.) )
