Chapter 137: Dig a Big Pit and Watch You Jump Into It (1)
Lane Castle, in an elegant living room.
Leo and Molière sat at opposite ends of a table, with no servants by their side, but a table full of delicacies and wine.
"Lei Ao, my only friend in the Reims Empire, for Roddy to be deprived of everything, cheers!"
Molière elegantly raised a glass of red wine, only to see Lei Ao laughing and drinking the red wine, "It's all old friends, what are you polite?"
Lei Ao's expression was puzzled, "It's just that I don't understand, since you hate Luo Di, kill him, why ......"
"Don't you think, my friend, that it is more intoxicating to let Roddy live and suffer than to kill him?"
Molière sighed softly, "And in two months, I must take Roddy to the Celestial Cliff, before that, I can't, and I don't dare to kill him!"
"You don't dare to kill Roddy, why?"
"It's the rules of the Nature Society, so you should not bother with it. ”
Hearing Molière mention the Nature Society, Lei Ao changed the topic with interest, "Okay, don't mention this! My friend, I helped you punish Roddy and get the authority to fight, but I paid a lot of price, others don't say it, just to invite Elder Hai, I'll ......"
"You don't have to go on, I understand. ”
Molière smiled and said, "I will definitely repay you, say, what is your difficulty?"
"Heh, I can't say the difficulty, it's just that I always feel that my identity as the 'second heir' is a bit ugly......," Lei Ao asked tentatively, "Can the Natural Association give me some help and let the old man appoint me as the real first heir of the Rhine family?"
"Of course you can!" Molière nodded, his tone immediately changing, "but you have to tell me truthfully, why didn't the Rhine family have a 'first heir', and is there any secret hidden in it?"
"There's a big secret!"
Lei Ao's slender eyes bloomed with astonishing hatred, "Truth be told, sixteen years ago, the Rhine family had the first heir in line - it's my nephew!, but that little guy ......" looked around, and after making sure that there was definitely no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "That little guy is a freak without a father!"
"Freaks, how weird?"
Molière smiled slightly, as if he had seen many deformities.
Lei Ao said mysteriously, "That little guy looks like an ordinary person, but...... He doesn't have a father!"
"Is it strange that there are many fatherless children in the world?" Molière shook his head a little unhappily.
"My friend, you still don't understand what I mean, oh, it's really hard to understand......
"When I say that the child has no father, I mean that his mother, my sister, was a virgin until the moment he was born. ”
"Virgin child!?" Molière looked at Lei Ao in disbelief.
Lei Ao smiled bitterly and nodded, "I can guarantee that my sister has never been touched by any man, but she is pregnant and gave birth to a boy, what else can you say this child is not a freak?"
"Funny boy...... "Molière's voice was full of interest, "since the boy is a freak, how did he become the first in line to the throne?"
"Talent!" Lei Ao Zhengse said, "After that child was born, he showed unimaginable talent, he could speak at the age of half a year, he could recite hundreds of poems at the age of one, and by the time he was three years old, the strength of his totem power had reached the level of a fifteen-year-old boy! Seeing this talent, the old man thought that this child would definitely become the greatest male lord in the history of the Rhine family, so he ignored the fact that the child was only his nephew, and coerced the family elder to nod his head by force, and forcibly put him on the throne of the first heir!"
"At the beginning, that child did not disappoint the old man, and even the elders of the family who were persecuted at the beginning began to like that child......"
Lei Ao's face became strange, "But in the second year after being established as the first heir, when the child was five years old, the old man suddenly killed the child's mother with his own hands, and announced that the child had died of illness...... In fact, the boy did not die, but was left by someone! However, the old man refused to give up, and personally led people to chase and kill all the way to the Daliu River......
Molière was stunned, "Why hunt down such a good heir?"
"Who knows, anyway, the old man didn't explain it to anyone. ”
Lei Ao said, "According to the family elders who participated in the chase at the time, the child was slapped by the old man and fell into the Daliu River, and he definitely won't survive." But the strange thing is that the old man knew that the child was dead, but he did not cancel the child's status -- he is still the first heir in line to the Rhine family! My friend, do you understand, it is precisely because of the appearance of such a freak in the Rhine family that it is never my turn to be the first heir in line!"
After listening to Lei Ao's story, Molière was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "I already know the general situation, Lei Ao, in the process of helping you seize the rights of the family, do you mind if the Natural Association uses some 'drastic' means?"
Lei Ao smiled coldly, "You can use any means!"
"I see, within two months, the Natural Society will definitely take your family's status one step further!"
After finishing business, the two chatted.
Time passed minute by minute, and gradually, the sun reached the highest point of the day...... "Leao, something seems to be wrong!" Glancing at the sky outside, Molière frowned and said, "Roddy has been gone for five hours since he left, and at his speed, even if he goes to the suburbs, he should come back!"
"Does this kid dare to cheat!?"
Lei Ao pushed open the window violently and shouted, "Come on, go and ask Roddy's whereabouts immediately!"
Soon, a family general ran back, "Young Master, Luo Di went to the palace under the surveillance of the two family generals, and according to the chamberlain, he is accompanying His Majesty the Emperor to dine!"
Lei Ao blocked Jiang Nan in front of the palace this morning, and at this time, thinking about it, Jiang Nan's appearance in the palace was not a particularly strange thing, he just said cautiously, "Send someone to the palace to urge Luo Di, if he refuses to come back, catch me and catch me back!"
Another hour passed...... The general ran back in disgrace, knelt on the ground as soon as they met, and complained: "Young Master Lei Ao, the brother sent to the palace not only did not find Luo Di, but was stopped by the royal guards!"
Lei Ao suddenly got up, and took out a token in his arms and threw it away, "The palace guards dare to stop the Rhine warriors? bastard, take my token and go again, who dares to stop it, even the royal guards will kill me!" After speaking, he and Molière glanced at each other, damn Roddy, do you really dare to cheat?
A few minutes later, the family will come back again, but this time he is not only discouraged, but also covered in blood, and his nose is bruised and swollen, "Young Master Lei Ao, we forced our way into the palace according to your orders, and the result was ......"
Raising one of his bandaged arms, "The palace guards didn't know what order they had received, and they dared to do it with us! We were wounded more than 20 brothers, and in the chaos of the battle, we also found the two generals who were spying on Roddy, they, they ......"
"Waste, can't you even say a word, what happened to the two of them?" said Lei Ao angrily.
The generals finally mustered up their courage, "They were broken by the palace guards and thrown in the garbage heap outside the palace!"
"Hey, hey!" Leo suddenly laughed strangely, and said to Molière, "Roddy must be making trouble, Molière, I'm going to go myself, are you going?"
Molière had been listening quietly, and when he heard this, he smiled coldly, "As you asked, all the Knights Templar are leaving!"
...... When Molière arrived at the palace gate, the scarlet palace gate was closed, and there was no one in front of the door, not only the palace guards who routinely patrolled were not here, but not even a bird fell!
Eerily quiet!
This silence is often accompanied by the most bizarre intrigues!
"Ignorant sinners, is this like holding back the Templars?"
Molière conjured up a thunderbolt cross sword and slashed open the palace door with a sword, "Roddy, you cunning coward, come out!"
There was no one behind the door either, and the silence was terrible!
Molière's brow furrowed, and he slowly walked in with his crosssword...... There is no one in the main hall of the council!
There is no one in the dormitory!
There is no one in the Imperial Garden either!
The entire palace seemed to be shrouded in ghosts, and in an instant it became an empty dead place!
"Warriors of the Temple, search every corner of the palace!"
Molière stood in the main hall of the council and said in a deep voice.
"Molière, it's okay to search, but tell the brothers to be careful!" Lei Ao beside him showed the wisdom of the second in line to the throne of the Rhine family, and he muttered, "Roddy is just a count, without the help of the emperor or Archimedes, he will never be able to affect the entire palace!"
"You mean, the Lance royal family is helping Roddy?"
Lei Ao's face was solemn!
"If it's the royal family......" Molière pondered for a moment, "where might they end up hiding Roddy?"
"It's hard to say, but the Rhine warriors keep an eye on the palace all year round, and I can guarantee that Roddy has never left!"
At this time, the Templars and the Rhine warriors had already dispersed to search, and there was not a single creature in the three or four thousand square meters of the main hall square, only Molière and Leo, and the whirring sound was like a terrible evening breeze with a mournful roar...... Night has fallen.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the middle of the day, a series of salutes rang out in the northeast corner of the palace, and the brilliance of the fireworks reflected half of the Reims Palace!
Molière and Leo turned into two streamers and rushed over!
"The ceremony begins!"
Contrary to Fang Cai's mysterious quietness, a palace in the northeast corner of the palace was decorated with lights, palace maids, eunuchs, royal guards, all the missing people gathered here, even the old queen mother, who did not often show up.
"Haha, let's cheer together!"
"Salute ready! 120 more shots!"
Boom, boom, boom, people seem to be celebrating some kind of ceremony, the palace maids danced, the internal guards applauded and cheered, and even the old queen mother sat on a Luanfeng chair and laughed, "Luo Di, this kid really wants it, how many years, there has not been such a lively scene in the palace!"
A jubilant atmosphere!
Molière was stunned, and Lei Ao's slender eyes were round!
The sudden change between stillness and movement made both of them a little confused.
Jiang Nan was at the gate of the palace, but he wore a wide saffron aristocratic robe, a golden crown on his head, and two scepters in his hands that were used during court ceremonies!
"Roddy?"
Molière saw that the knights who were searching were also alarmed by the salute, and he had already surrounded him, and rushed towards Jiangnan with his sword raised.
But Lei Ao grabbed him violently, "Molière, don't act rashly!"
"Sinner, are you hindering my divine mission?"
Molière's face turned gloomy, "If I'm not mistaken, it's your family warrior who is responsible for searching this area! Hmph, the Rhine warrior didn't find such an obvious place, are they deliberately perfunctory to me?"
Lei Ao opened his mouth, it seemed that there were a thousand words, but he didn't know where to start!
He pointed in a direction, "It's not that I'm perfunctory to you, it's just that my samurai don't dare to search here, you see, ......"
"Empress Dowager Reims!?" Molière looked at the surprised old lady with a surprised face along Lei Ao's fingers, frowned, and said, "Are you afraid of this old woman?
"It's not the old lady, it's the back, the back!"
Molière's gaze was under the guidance of Lei Ao, and he crossed the Queen Mother, crossed Jiangnan, and saw the inconspicuous palace gate.
It's an ordinary iron gate that is one person high!
"Gate of Thorns!"
Lei Ao's voice was dry, "This palace is the Thorn Temple, and the Imperial Culinary Academy, Changyou Island, is also known as the Thorn Temple of the Three Totem Holy Lands!"
Molière's expression changed slightly!
In front of the Imperial Culinary Academy, he didn't dare to do it easily, and in front of the Thorn Sanctuary, he also had to put away his Thunder Cross Sword!
"Roddy is here, is he trying to use the Temple of Thorns to stop me?"
"In any case, you can't use force easily in front of the Temple of Thorns, Molière, Roddy has already promised to hand over the authority to fight, the reason is on our side, you wait, I'll go and call him out first!"
Lei Ao said as he approached the celebratory crowd with a slightly difficult step, and said to a palace guard, "Go and call Roddy out to me, in the name of the second in line to the heir of the Rhine family!"
"Oh, it's Lord Leo!" the royal guard danced with cheerful steps, "I'm sorry, I can't help you, because Lord Roddy is presiding over the ceremony!"
"Bastard, didn't you hear clearly? This is my Lei Ao's order!"
"My lord, I'm afraid it's you who didn't hear clearly!" the royal guard said with a smile: "I'm saying, Lord Luo Di is 'presiding' the ceremony! It is with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor to preside over the ceremony of meeting the tortoise shell of the Heavenly Mandate!"
"Meet the Destiny Tortoiseshell!?"
"Yes, the Mandate Tortoiseshell!" the smile of the Imperial Guard was even more pleasant, "Your Excellency, you should know that the meeting of the Mandate Tortoise Shell is a great tradition left by the Lance Saint, and anyone who dares to stop it is a blasphemy of the glory of the Saint, and everyone in the Empire will be punished......"
"If you don't want to offend the spiritual faith of the 130 million Reims people, just wait a few hours. ”
