Chapter 239: Treacherous
Lu Zhan's ears and eyes were very sensitive because of the blessing of the crystal space in his body, and at this moment he clearly heard the voices of passers-by: "Hey, have you heard? This big tree is an ancient strange tree that the prince collected from the southeastern wilderness for a huge amount of money, and it is said that it is going to be transported to the royal garden and planted in the center of the imperial garden." ”
"Hmph, the emperor is already so sick, the prince still has the heart to collect this kind of rare treasure at this time, he doesn't want to try to get more elixir for the emperor to prolong his life. ”
"But it's understandable, if the emperor ...... That's it, the owner of this imperial garden is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next, and he can't wait to repair it in advance. ”
"It's really hard to say whether the new owner of the Imperial Garden is the crown prince or not, I heard that the army of the Eighth Emperor has just returned to the dynasty after victory, and it is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing outside the North Gate, among the many princes of the Great Chu Empire, if you want to talk about who is qualified to be the new emperor, I think it must be the Eighth Highness...... Lu Zhan didn't want to listen, he sighed lightly, left the bank of the canal, and walked back to the saddle of the "Snow Mountain Flying Clouds".
Suddenly, Lu Zhan sensed that someone next to him seemed to be staring at him, so he turned his head to look around, but saw a four-story restaurant on the side of the road, the restaurant was brilliantly lit, and it was very lively, and someone poked his head out of every window to look in the direction of the canal, and he couldn't see who was paying attention to him for a while.
Lu Zhan shrugged his shoulders, secretly thinking that he was probably too careful, so he turned over and jumped on horseback, commanded his soldiers to re-line, and continued to walk along the street.
After Lu Zhan left, in a window on the highest floor of the four-story restaurant on the side of the road, Qing Ji's beautiful and exquisite face appeared, and she was watching Lu Zhan's back slowly blend into the gradually deep night.
At this time, she was sitting in a very private private room on the fourth floor, with the small woman Rou Ji and the white-haired Elder Bai sitting opposite her, and at the same table was Atul, who was dressed like the bark of a dead tree, and there were three other people, one was the old lady with a hawk's head and a cane. One was a middle-aged man with a short stature and a whirlwind tattoo on his face, and the last was wearing a black cloak. It was the four princes of Dachu who participated in the secret discussion that day.
Rou Ji took a sip of the special rice wine here, glanced at Qing Ji, who was still looking out the window, and whispered, "I really can't see it, and I haven't seen it for two years." That kid surnamed Lu actually directly became a peerless powerhouse in the realm of transforming energy, and I am afraid that he has already cultivated in the middle stage of transforming energy, I remember that the last time we saw him in Xiaoyingzhou, that stinky boy was still only in the realm of condensation. ”
The fourth prince's expression moved, and he asked Rou Ji curiously: "You and Miss Qingji have seen that brave Bolu Zhan before?"
"Yes. In the city of Hongzhou. ”
The fourth prince sighed "oh", "It's no wonder, this Lu Zhan was born in Hongzhou, and he was also introduced to the eighth child by Sima Dudu, the governor of Hongzhou, and became his assistant." When this kid captured the battle of the 'Floating Immortal Island' a year ago, he was already a cultivator in the early stage of the Transformation Realm. In this year, he followed the Lao Ba Northern Expedition to the Great Sui, and achieved outstanding results, especially when attacking the Sui capital of the Great Sui. He alone faced the three powerhouses of the Great Sui Emperor who guarded the Sui Imperial Palace. But he didn't fall behind at all, and in the end he killed two and injured one. This battle alone made him known as the number one warrior of our Great Chu Empire. ”
The four princes still didn't know that Lu Zhan was that after the accumulation and perception of the first battle in the Sui Palace, his martial arts attainments had suddenly risen to the late stage of the Transformation Realm, and he had become an existence comparable to the national teachers of the Tianji Academy.
Rou Ji spit out her bright red tongue and said with a little admiration: "One person can easily win against the siege of three powerhouses. This surnamed Lu is so powerful? It seems that our Qingji has a vision, and when he was in Hongzhou City, he could see at a glance that this son was extraordinary. ”...,
Atul, who was sitting on the sidelines, heard this. There was a heavy cold snort in his nostrils.
Rou Ji gave him a blank look and said, "Atul, don't be unconvinced. Lu Gongzi is much more handsome than you, if I were Qing Ji, I would only like him and not like you. ”
Atul's face sank when she said this, and he grabbed the wine on the table and poured it into his mouth.
The old lady who was sitting on the opposite side of the table glared at Rou Ji when she heard this, and said in a tone that was worse than that of a male duck: "No matter how you say it, Atul is also the number one warrior among the younger generation of our Holy Clan. Qing Ji is a holy daughter, and if she wants to marry in the future, she will >

Qing Ji turned her gaze back to the table from the window, and said lightly: "Okay, you don't need to worry about my affairs, now let's talk to the Fourth Highness about the plan for tomorrow's action." ”
She turned her gaze to the Fourth Prince, "The Eighth Prince of Great Chu is finally back now, and our actions are going according to the original plan, how are you preparing there?"
"We can rest assured here," the fourth prince took a sip of wine, with a mysterious smile on his lips: "As long as the eighth child is alive tomorrow morning, we will follow the steps and cooperate in the Taiji Gate." ”
Qing Ji felt that there seemed to be something else in his words, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, so he nodded and said, "In this case, the masters of our Holy Clan's participation in the operation will wait outside the Taiji Gate tomorrow according to the original plan and wait for the signal you send from inside." ”
The Fourth Prince turned his head and glanced at the canal outside the window, and asked, "Is that guardian holy beast called the 'Boundary Tree Turtle' in your country really able to deal with the 'Floating Immortal Island'?" I am worried that if that Turtle is unable to fight, our actions will be completely defeated. ”
Elder Bai glanced at him and said, "Our 'Boundary Tree Xuanwu' is a desolate beast with a trace of the strong bloodline of the ancient divine beast Qingtian Xuanwu, and it is a dignified desolate beast......!
Qing Ji frowned, and said to Elder Bai: "Okay, Elder Bai, how can you scoop up the destruction of the Great Chu Palace, it's too rude." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the Four Princes with a smile, and said knowingly: "I heard that the 'Spiritual Light Cannon' of this 'Floating Immortal Island' is extremely powerful, and even the formation that Great Sui has worked so hard to practice that it is known as the most powerful in the world cannot stop it from launching a shot with all its might. If the 'Spiritual Light Cannon' suddenly launches a cannon while I am waiting for the Taiji Gate to act, then won't we be directly reduced to ashes, and all plans will be in vain in an instant?"
"You can rest assured of this, saint. The fourth prince said: "It is precisely because the 'spiritual light cannon' is too powerful, only one cannon can destroy the entire Chu capital city, and the eighth self can't use this kind of cannon in the palace, otherwise it will end up together." Therefore, at that time, he can only use another less powerful 'cyclone cannon' on the 'Floating Immortal Island' to deal with us, and the range of the 'Cyclone Cannon' is only fifty or sixty zhang at most, and it can't fly too far away from the 'Floating Immortal Island' itself, so at that time, the 'Floating Immortal Island' will have to reduce its height to a distance of about fifty zhang from the ground, and then you will have to rely on the divine power of your 'Boundary Tree Turtle' to deal with this 'Floating Immortal Island'. ”
"Well, I see. Qing Ji nodded and said, "'Floating Immortal Island' will be handed over to our Holy Clan's Zhen Clan Holy Beast to deal with." ”
"Okay, that's it, the king will go back and arrange it now, there are still many things to prepare for tonight. The fourth prince stood up as he spoke, wrapped the hood of his cloak tightly around his head to avoid being recognized, and then took his leave. ...,
Qing Ji walked to the door of the private room, and watched through the crack in the door as the back of the fourth prince disappeared at the staircase, before closing the door, she walked back to the wine table and whispered to Elder Bai: "What this fourth prince said just now always makes me feel weird. ”
"Which word?"
"Didn't he just say, 'As long as the old eight are alive tomorrow morning'. Exploring the deep meaning of this sentence, could it be that the Eighth Prince will die tonight?" Qing Ji turned her gaze to Attu, who was sitting in the distance: "Atul, did you see any clues in his eyes just now?"
Atul nodded, "They're going to take action against the Eighth Prince tonight." ”
"Just tonight?" Kiyohime said movingly, "Can you see what the action is?" ”
"Oh, assassination. ”
With a "snap", a pair of ivory chopsticks in Qing Ji's hand were pinched off by her, only to see her willow eyebrows upside down, jade teeth biting lightly, and her expression was very annoyed: "Hmph, I know that these guys from the Great Chu Imperial Family don't keep their promises, and they really do so many small actions behind their backs." ”
Atul looked at Qing Ji in confusion and said curiously, "It's normal for them to do this." Make two preparations, one is to assassinate, if the assassination fails
, and then cooperate with our Holy Clan to deal with the Eight Emperors and the party. If it were me, I would do the same, people's hearts are like this, hehe. However, if they succeed in assassinating the Eighth Prince tonight, it will save us a lot of trouble tomorrow to snipe the Eighth Prince and his masters, what's wrong with that?"
Rou Ji gave him a slight glance and sneered, "If they really kill the Eighth Prince tonight, then tomorrow's action will naturally be canceled." All they have left is to defeat the leaderless Eight Princes and their party. At that time, these guys will presumably be tricked into refusing to cede the three states that were originally promised to the Holy Clan, so won't this time be in vain?"
Qing Ji said coldly: "Who is rare for their three broken states, the real purpose of our coming to Chu Capital this time is to receive the order of the Council of Elders to grab the 'Floating Immortal Island' in the sky." With this flying island, let alone only these three states, even the Great Chu Empire, the Great Sui Empire, and even the entire Eastern Earth Continent are not in the hands of our Holy Clan? The reason why I negotiated with them about ceding the territory was just to let them not be suspicious and cooperate with my Holy Clan with confidence. So we can't afford to sit back and let their assassination attempt succeed tonight. ”
Elder Bai scratched his head and looked at her and asked, "What's the matter, Holy Maiden, do you still want to sabotage their assassination tonight?"
"That's all it takes when necessary. Qing Ji turned her head to the middle-aged man who was sitting next to him and was eating and drinking, and his face was tattooed with a whirlwind pattern, and he ordered, "Uncle Tululu, you and I will sneak into the Eighth Prince's palace tonight." ”
The tattooed man's mouth was stuffed with wine and delicacies, and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head constantly. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
