"I don't know. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] It seems that they have not yet married. Isn't that a matter of time? Empress Dowager Xiao has already given her marriage. It should be a year later. Little Thirteen said.

"Do you Empress Dowager Xiao like your third prince very much?" asked Chen Jie.

Little Thirteen muttered for half a minute. Then he said, "I'll tell you a big secret." That is, Empress Dowager Xiao really wants to abolish the current emperor Yelu Hongji. Replace it yourself. and then passed on the throne to the third prince. ”

Chen was silent. It seems that the tiger poison does not eat the child. This is the principle of the ages. If there is a preferred heir. The ambitious Empress Dowager Xiao may relinquish her position.

But Chen Jue still felt that something was wrong. It's not a question of mother-child love. It's about something deeper.

I heard that this Empress Dowager Xiao was born with a strange nature. I like male colors. There were thousands of people in his palace. All are handsome men from all countries. Although the Star Beast Clan is open in nature. But at least human ethics are still very prevalent in the Star Beast Clan's empires.

Moreover. He gave birth to eight sons. Everyone is vying to give the best men. I heard that she was the most beautiful woman in the Manu Empire. Although she is now forty years old. She looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Chen Jue thought of this and asked, "Does Empress Dowager Xiao like her son very much?" I heard that she loves men and power more than anything. I don't know why she's willing to give it up?"

Xiao Thirteen smiled: "I don't know about this. That's a fucking fantasy question. But every time I go to court, I want to meet this Empress Dowager Xiao. He's my distant aunt. But I still admire her beauty. That kind of domination in the world. ”

Chen Jue nodded. He asked, "What kind of person do you think the third prince is?

Xiao Thirteen said: "He is also one of the eight sons of Empress Dowager Xiao. Of course I sent it. But he's the one we can see through. He's mysterious. It's also very powerful. Even Empress Dowager Xiao, who was at the peak of the Five Changes, admitted that he was very powerful. Every time I see him. will be in a cold sweat. Inexplicably frightened. I don't know why?"

Chen Jue pouted and said, "You will sweat when you see anyone with a small three changes." I know you're working hard. But there are too many geniuses and perverts in this world. So you have to strengthen yourself in a special way. Although you are now on this path. But I don't think it's enough. ”

Xiao Thirteen smiled and said, "What is your special method? I am now a first-class powerhouse in our Manu Empire. Don't brag in front of me. When the time comes, if you see the third prince, you will definitely be like me. ”

Chen Jue laughed and said, "It seems that you are not modest at all. I'm going to let me see who is stronger today, me or the third prince?" His momentum skyrocketed. The coercion and anger rushed out of the sky. permeated his body.

"Bang. Little Thirteen's body fell directly out of the gate. Flying more than ten meters away, he collided with a large pillar before stopping his body.

At this time, Little Thirteen only felt that every bone in his body seemed to fall apart. But he still feels lucky. Compared to when he stood in front of Chen Jue just now, he was much more comfortable now.

He staggered to his feet. Wipe the blood from his mouth. Standing far behind the columns. Said loudly: "Brother Xiaodu." Don't be impulsive. ”

Chen Jue also said from afar: "Little San." Come on in. I still have a lot more to ask you. ”

"I don't. You're too violent. Little Thirteen said firmly.

"I counted to three. You haven't come in yet. I'll throw you into heaven. Chen Jue said coldly.

Hear that. Little Thirteen's body rushed back into the study room like a bolt of lightning. Then sit down carefully. Like a good child, he asked, "Xiao Duel." What else do you have to say? Ask me how you are okay another day? I still have something to do at home. Now I'm going back. ”

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Of course you can go back now." I'll tear your home down if you're willing. Then I don't have a problem with that. ”

"You. You're amazing, little duel. We're friends. I've told you my biggest secret. You won't get any important news from me. Little Thirteen said with a sad face.

"Less nonsense. Come and eat the vegetables. Drinking," Chen said.

Little Thirteen glanced at Chen Jue with infinite resentment. Then I picked up my chopsticks and began to taste the delicious food on the small coffee table.

Chen Jue continued to ask, "Do you think that third prince is compared to me?" Who's more powerful?"

Little Thirteen thought seriously for a while. said: "It seems that you are still better." But I feel like he's hiding a lot of things I don't know. When you meet him. Be careful. ”

The corners of Chen Jie's mouth twitched. Revealing a disdainful curve. "If only he could have made it so easy for you to discover that he had something hidden," he said. That's what he's doing on purpose. Otherwise, his skill could only reach such a level. Can't hide more. ”

"What do you mean by that. So awkward. But it seems to be the same thing. But you really don't despise him. He is the person who our Empress Dowager Xiao calls 'the soul of Manu'. I heard that even the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was at the peak of the Five Changes, was not his opponent. The woman you are talking about is guessing that it has reached the sixth change link. But it doesn't seem to be the opponent of the third prince. ”

Chen Jue nodded cautiously. His eyes looked at Little Thirteen without blinking. He continued to ask, "Have you ever seen that third prince make a move?"

Little Thirteen shook his head thoughtlessly. said: "His twelve guards are all people of the four changes. Where else did he need to do it himself? And the woman of the six changes beside him. Who would dare to provoke him?"

"Is this one of the real reasons why Empress Dowager Xiao gave way to him?" asked Chen Jie.

"I don't know. I seem to think that even the Queen Mother respects him very much. Speak to him politely. This is contrary to the arrogant and domineering style of Empress Dowager Xiao. Little Thirteen said.

Chen Jue thought for a moment. Then he asked, "Have you ever thought about it?" If Yelu Hongqi takes control of the government. Your descendants may be hit hard?"

"Is there a way? I'm going to take refuge in you. When the time comes. Wouldn't it be beautiful for you to also crown a king of the Southern Courtyard for me? Ha ha. Little Thirteen said to be an official. His mood suddenly became extremely excited.

"Alright. You go back and pretend to be sick. I'll meet the third prince in your mouth. If I accidentally kill him. You don't have to pretend to be sick. Your Manu Empire won't have the energy to go to war against my empire for at least ten years......" Chen Jue said with a hesitant smile. This time, he cleaned up his Midu space. Now there's more space here. His plundering plans needed this beautiful space.

"Little duel. Look at the look on your face that is about to succeed. How does my heart feel so cool?" asked Little Thirteen.

Chen Jue stood up. Say: "Now the war is near. A lot of places are not safe. You'll have to send some more men over there, little rabbit. Don't let others take advantage of it. ”

Little Thirteen put away his smile. Nodding his head, he said, "I feel that way too." All right. I'll go back and make arrangements. With that, he stood up. hugged Chen Du. Turn away.

When he walked to Chen Siniang's side, who was quietly standing by the door. pinched Chen Jie's buttocks heavily. Hey hey walk away.

Chen Siniang's face was crimson. "Pervert." ”

Chen Jue raised his head. looked at Chen Siniang who came over. smiled: "Is that pervert bullying you again?"

Chen Siniang blushed and did not squeak. He walked up to Chen Jue. Leaned down and quickly picked up the leftovers on the coffee table. Then stand up straight. Looking at Chen Jue. asked, "Chen Jie." Are you going to Heavenly Fortune City? It's the capital of the Manu Empire. You're going to get there. Be careful. ”

Chen Jue nodded. said, "Hmm. I know. Siniang. Sit down and have a cup of coffee. I made it myself. It tastes really good. ”

Chen Siniang nodded. Put down the food box. Sit down beside Chen Jie.

Chen Jue got up. Come to the cupboard. Brew two strong cups of coffee seriously. Walk over to the small coffee table. sat down next to Chen Siniang and handed him a cup of steaming milk coffee. Add two sugar cubes to her. Then look at her. asked, "Siniang." Now the people of your husband's family are okay with you?"

Chen Siniang took a sip of coffee gently. A sweet smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. "Now I don't have any dealings with them, and now I feel at peace. Very happy. The people of the family didn't dare to come and provoke me. They would tremble with fear when they heard Little Thirteen's name. ”

"Oh. That's good. Chen Jue said.

"Yes. It is. Chen Siniang wanted to speak and stopped.

"If there's anything you want to say, just say it. See if I can help?" said Chen Jue with a smile.

"It's just that little thirteen doesn't have a straight line. It's always you kidding me. Chen Siniang said. A red cloud flew over his face.

"Siniang, let him say it. What's the big deal about this. Oh. Before you know it, it's noon again. Take me to Ironstone. Let's go try the snacks here. It can also be regarded as going to investigate. It is also why the first pint crown adds some colors. Chen Jue said. Stand up.

"Okay. Okay. Siniang suddenly turned into a happy bird.

Walk on the road. Siniang quietly next to Chen Jie. Walk forward side by side with him. The streets here are wide. The people's expressions were peaceful. There is not the slightest shadow of war in sight.

Come to a stall. This is a stall that sells trinkets. Chen Jue chose a few of his favorite trinkets for Siniang. When Chen decided to finish paying. Just as I was about to leave. Suddenly, he saw a small silver ring. It's very similar to the token that Tonya gave him. He picked it up, put it in his hand, and looked at it carefully. There are also two lines of 'Source Text' engraved on the top of the ring, which is different from the 'Source Text' on Tonya's silver ring.

Chen Jue asked the boss in a steady tone, "Boss, how much is this trinket?"

The boss glanced at it. said: "This is not for sale." You're going to pick something else, right?"

Chen Jue was curious: "Why don't you put it here and don't sell it? What does this mean?"

"Uncle. Don't get me wrong. It was a guest who placed it with me. He said to me. If there is someone who knows the goods. It can be exchanged for a thousand gold. I think. He's kidding. So let him leave it here. Of course, I didn't dare to sell it. The boss finished. He watched blankly as Chen Jue really took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to him.

Siniang grabbed Chen Jie's arm. He said in a low voice: "Chen Jie." Don't buy it. How could this little silver ring be worth so much money?"

Chen Jue smiled. whispered to Siniang: "Siniang." You can rest assured. I have my own reasoning, nothing to do. "Finished. Chen Jue picked up the silver ring. took Siniang's hand and walked out.

Then. The boss said, "Uncle." Please stay. The guest seemed to have left a message. He said that this kind of ring is a set of thirteen. He still has seven more. If you are interested. You can go to Anan Village to find him. By the way, he can also tell you a little bit about these rings. ”

Chen Jue stopped. Nodding slightly. "What's the man's name?" he asked. How do I find him?"

The stall owner said: "He said his name was Xingqi. Enter the village. You said to find the seventh. Everybody will know him. ”

Chen Jue thanked the stall owner. Then turn around. Facing Chen Siniang, he asked, "How to get to Anan Village?"

Chen Siniang took Chen Jie's hand. Said softly: "Xiao Duel." You can't go to that place. ”

Chen Jue felt strange. He looked at Chen Siniang. Waiting for her further explanation.

Chen Siniang leaned close to Chen Jie's ear and said softly, "It's a quarantine area. Inside are some incurable infectious disease patients. Now it is tightly sealed by the military. People talk about that place more terrifyingly than they talk about hell. ”

Chen Jue asked, "Why wasn't that vendor surprised at all just now. How did the man who sold the ring come out?"

Chen Siniang said: "That vendor is a foreigner. Maybe he didn't know about this small village. And the person who sold the ring and the person who still owned the seven rings might not be the same person, right? So it could only be two people. ”

Chen Jue nodded. agreed with Chen Siniang's words. So he said: "Siniang, we don't care about this. Now you tell me. Where's the snack street? We're going to eat now. ”

Chen Siniang happily pulled Chen Du to the east.

Eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Jue came to Anan Village.

An area of 10 square kilometers is closed off by a coarse power grid. Ten square kilometers, surrounded by snow-bright searchlights, illuminated everything around. Groups of soldiers stood outside the barbed wire fence as if they were facing a great enemy.

Chen Du jumped up like a bolt of lightning across the power grid. Float gently towards the center of Anan Village. Then it fell silently to the ground like a fallen leaf.

Look at the rows of low. Dilapidated thatched houses. Look further ahead. There are rows of tic-tac-toe fields criss-crossed.

Night. There are almost no pedestrians in the village. Doors and windows are closed. Rest quietly.

Under Extreme Vision. A small bonfire is being lit at the west entrance of the village. There are more than a dozen people sitting in the old and the young. Maybe there's no way to pass the time at night. Children and young people are listening to the old man talk about the past.

Chen Jue walked over quietly.

Hear Chen Jie's footsteps. Everyone turned their heads sideways and looked at Chen Jue in surprise.

There are hardly any outsiders here.
