Gu Qingfeng nodded: "Ying Chaoyang and Ying Jian are Ying Jiangshan's people, it's not strange that they died, Ying Maitreya was assassinated, it is indeed a little incomprehensible, plus Ying Hao's matter, could it be that Ying Wanli blamed Ying Hao to kill Ying Jiangshan's concubine and forced Ying Hao to stand in line?" ”

"It's not out of the question." Ye Fan frowned, "The contradiction between Ying Hao and Ying Jiangshan, coupled with the situation of Ying Maitreya, originally I thought that Ying Wanli and Ying Hao could make friends, but now I can't see through Ying Wanli and Ying Hao." ”

"None of them are fuel-efficient lamps." Gu Qingfeng bit his lip, "This time we came back to the Imperial City, I don't know if it's right or wrong, it's better for us to leave the Imperial City, we won't mix in the troubled waters this time." ”

Ye Fan raised his hand and patted Gu Qingfeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, stay in the imperial city first, wait for the opportunity." ”

Gu Qingfeng showed hesitation, and then nodded slightly.

Taiwei Mansion.

"Bang ......"

In a secret room carved with intricate formations, a dense thud sounded.

A figure was filled with a faint blue light, and his body was like a ghost, constantly dancing in the secret room, his body was fast and slow, and the energy emanated from his body, constantly impacting the walls of the secret room, and the blue light shining on the walls offset the impact of the energy.

"Grandfather!"

A shout came from outside the back room.

The figure in the secret room immediately stopped, raised his hand and waved, and the door of the secret room automatically opened slowly, only to see Ying Jiangshan standing outside the secret room.

The figure in the secret room is a middle-aged man, with a strong figure, a ruddy complexion, long hair and eyebrows are a little white, a faint scar on his forehead, coupled with sharp eyes, invisibly exuding a faint killing aura, this person is Xu Heng, the imperial lieutenant of the Ying Dynasty.

When Xu Heng saw Ying Jiangshan, he showed a look of kindness, and said to Ying Jiangshan: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Ying Jiangshan nodded, walked into the secret room, raised his hand, and the door of the secret room slowly closed before he spoke: "Kong Qiu is missing, I suspect that something has happened." ”

Xu Heng frowned slightly, and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"It's been more than ten days, and there has been no news."

"There are not many people who can kill Kong Qiu, it seems that Yang Yan's old miscellaneous hair is ready to do it." Xu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a murderous aura.

Ying Jiangshan nodded: "The fourth and sixth were killed, the third was seriously injured, and the fifth is estimated to have taken refuge in the boss, we can't sit still." ”

"A bunch of shrimp soldiers and crabs will be just that." Xu Heng showed disdain, "It's the so-called come and don't be rude, go and inform Kong Xiang and let him immediately implement our plan." ”

"Execute the plan at this time, if the father wakes up......"

"Don't worry!" Xu Heng's eyes were full of confidence, "Even if you wake up, it doesn't matter, as long as Kong Xiang completes our plan, the Ying family's country is yours." What's more, with his current injury, it is a question of whether he can survive for a month. ”

Ying Jiangshan pondered for a moment, his face showed a trace of ruthlessness, and he nodded and replied: "Then I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Ying Jiangshan immediately turned around and prepared to leave the secret room.

"Wait!" Xu Heng opened his mouth and said, "I'll let Qingzhu follow you to prevent Yang Yan's old miscellaneous hair from hacking you." ”

Prime Minister's Office.

Ying Wanli sat opposite a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a green shirt, his hair was jet black, his face was elegant, he seemed to be full of poetry and books, but he exuded a heroic righteousness, this person was Yang Yan, the prime minister of the Ying Dynasty.

"Father-in-law, something is wrong, the fourth and sixth children were killed, the third child was seriously injured, it was not our hand, it seems that there is a competitor who is stirring up the situation." Ying Wanli's brows furrowed.

Yang Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the seat and replied, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

"The fifth child, the fifth child has been more active recently, and he is closer to the dean, except for me and the second child, it is estimated that only the fifth child has the heart to compete for the imperial power." Ying Wanli said what he thought in his heart.

"The academy has always been a neutral position, and with Tang Yun's temperament, it should not participate in the struggle for imperial power." Yang Yan showed a thoughtful look, "This matter is a little strange, I will personally go to the academy, and you let the people below pay attention to the movements of the academy, as well as the actions of various cities." ”

"I've arranged it, and I haven't noticed anything going on for the time being."

"With Xu Heng's temperament, it is estimated that he has already started to act, let the people of the Dark Soul Hall start to move, and gradually take over the military power of each city."

Ying Wanli's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Don't wait for the death of your father and the emperor before you do it?" ”

"If you don't wait, if you wait any longer, you will inevitably lose the opportunity."

Ying Wanli nodded: "Then let's start acting." ”

Imperial.

Linglong Pavilion.

Linglong Pavilion is the most famous restaurant in the Imperial City, and the fame of Linglong Pavilion not only comes from the dishes, but also from the fact that Linglong Pavilion is also an organization that sells intelligence.

Ye Fan sat alone at the window on the second floor of the restaurant, drinking wine while looking at the street outside the window.

"Have you heard? Just an hour ago, the Seven Princes died in the Sea King's Mansion, and I heard that the death was extremely miserable, and the corpses were all hung at the door of the mansion, and their eyes were gouged out. ”

"As expected, didn't the fourth prince and the sixth prince also die a few days ago? This should be the second prince starting to fight back. ”

"The struggle for imperial power is really cruel, but it has only suffered our Xiuwu families, and now all Xiuwu families are forced to stand in line, and if one of them is not good, they may face the disaster of extinction."

"Alas! Who says it's not, my old man is so sad that we little ones are also trembling. Don't mention these messes, the more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes, drinking and drinking. ”

Two middle-aged men in brocade clothes chatted while eating.

Ye Fan's eyes were staring out the window, but his mind was thinking about the words of their conversation, and after a while, Ye Fan stood up directly and walked towards the third floor of the restaurant.

"Childe, may I ask what I can do for you?" A young woman blocked Ye Fan's way at the top of the staircase on the third floor.

"I'm going to get some information."

The young woman nodded slightly, and walked towards the fourth floor with Ye Fan, and came to a side room on the fourth floor.

"What does Childe need to know?" The young woman asked.

"Intelligence information of all the Stellar Realm powerhouses in the Imperial City."

"Oh?" The young woman looked at Ye Fan with a look of surprise, "Are you sure?" ”

Ye Fan nodded.

"The intelligence of the powerhouses of the Stellar Realm is very expensive, and each piece of information is worth at least one million top-grade Yuan Spirit Stones, are you sure you need it?" The young woman reconfirmed.

Ye Fan nodded again.

"Please follow me."

The young woman took Ye Fan out of the wing room, continued to walk up the stairs of the restaurant, and came directly to a secret room on the ninth floor.

There was a window in the secret room, and an old man in the window was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when the young woman and Ye Fan entered the secret room, the old man opened his eyes.

"Elder Yu, this son wants to buy the information of the powerhouse of the Stellar Realm." The young woman bowed slightly, then turned around and left the secret room, closing the door of the secret room.

"You may be seated!" The old man spoke.

Ye Fan came to the window and sat directly on the seat.

The old man asked, "Whose intelligence do you want to buy?" ”

Ye Fan replied: "The stellar realm powerhouse behind Ying Jiangshan. ”

"Eight million top-grade Yuan Spirit Stones."

Ye Fan took out a storage bag and threw it into the window.

The old man grabbed the storage bag and probed it slightly, then put it away.

"Wait a minute!"

The old man stood up, left the window, and after a quarter of an hour, he returned to the window and handed Ye Fan a green jade slip.

The old man said, "You can only see it, you can't take it away." ”

Ye Fan caught the jade slip, and the spiritual sense invaded it to investigate, until ten minutes later, Ye Fan handed the jade slip back to the old man.

"I also want the information of the star realm powerhouse behind Ying Wanli, and I also want Ying Hao and Ying Maitreya." Ye Fan said.

The old man pondered for a moment and replied, "A total of 40 million top-grade Yuan Spirit Stones. ”

Ye Fan frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "How much is the information of Ying Wanli, Ying Hao, and Ying Maitreya worth?" ”

"Ying Wanli's intelligence is worth fifteen million, Ying Hao's intelligence is worth 20 million, and Ying Maitreya's intelligence is worth 5 million."

"Ying Hao's intelligence value is higher than Ying Wanli's?" Ye Fan asked suspiciously.

"Definitely great value for money."

Ye Fan thought for a moment, took out a storage bag and handed it to the old man, and after the old man investigated, he left the window directly.

This time.

The old man asked Ye Fan to wait for half an hour, and the old man returned to the window, took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan directly investigated the jade slip, the amount of information in the jade slip was relatively large, Ye Fan wrote down the content of the jade slip for nearly an hour, and raised his hand to return the jade slip to the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "The Yuan Spirit Stone is not a white flower, right?" ”

"Great value for money!" Ye Fan nodded in response, "But you sold this information to me, so you are not afraid of the royal family's investigation?" ”

"The information you get, there is no evidence that it is the information we provide, besides, you are a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, you can't make any waves in the imperial city, and we also look at people when we sell intelligence." The old man explained.

"Indeed!" Ye Fan laughed, stood up directly, and said to the old man: "Farewell!" ”

"Welcome to the next visit!"

Ye Fan smiled, shook his head slightly, turned around and came to the door of the secret room, and the door of the secret room slowly opened.

"Childe, please come with me." The young woman waiting outside the door said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan followed the young woman out of the ninth floor, and the old man in the secret room left the window and came to a secret secret room.

"Master, according to your request, the information has been sold to Ye Fan."

"Pay attention to Ye Fan's movements, maybe there is still use value."

"Understood!" The old man bowed, then exited the chamber.

……

Ye Fan left Linglong Pavilion and walked slowly on the streets, analyzing the authenticity of the information, the information about Yingwanli and Yingjiangshan in the information, Ye Fan didn't feel strange at all, but Yinghao's information, if it was true, then Ye Fan would have to re-examine this prosaic fifth prince.
