The residence of the royal family is in the very center of Linyang City, there is still a beautiful mountain in the city, hidden in the market, overlooking it from afar, faintly carrying this ethereal meaning, as if it is in the sky, this mountain is surrounded by lakes on all sides, it is not so much a mountain as an island. In the dark night, the water surface lingers with fresh water vapor, making the whole island in the city more like a fairyland.

The four of them hid all the way, the road between the restaurant and the island was not long, but with the ability of the four people, it still took more than two hours to touch here, in addition to the single evil, Dugu Yun, Lei Daqiang and Qu Mingxian have oozed sweat, which shows how strict the guards on this road are, and how difficult it is!

Shan Xie frowned and said: "The layout of this place is really a bit breathtaking, such a big island can actually make people's eyes have an illusion, if it weren't for Xiaoqu leading the way, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to touch this place for a while!"

Dugu Yun smiled at Qu Mingxian and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Qu, thank you for taking the risk to lead the way for us!"

Qu Mingxian lay down next to the lake and buried his head in the lake, only after a while did he raise his head, wash his face and say: "No, I should thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the courage to come to this home to take a look!"

"Home?" The three of them looked at Qu Mingxian inexplicably, and Lei Daqiang couldn't help but ask, "You said this place is your home?"

Qu Mingxian nodded and sighed: "It used to be, but now it is owned by the royal family!"

Duguyun couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.

The royal family almost overnight made a difficult move to bring down all the families, and then retreated to one side, and the large-scale austerity was bound to occupy a large amount of territory, and the families on the border were naturally not spared!

Qu Mingxian said again: "You all only say that our border family is remote and has no knowledge, which is indeed our shortcoming, but because of this, we know less, and we naturally do it better!" He pointed to the island and said: "This island in the city is the result of our Qu family's painstaking efforts over the years, and the perfection of generation after generation has the scale it is today." Qu Mingxian said with his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and said humiliatingly: "In my father's generation, this huge project can be completed, but it is occupied by the so-called royal family!"

"What about the rest of the Qu family?" Even though he knew the result, Dugu Yun still asked this question with some luck.

Qu Mingxian said silently: "If this lake is not connected to the Jingjiang River outside the city, this water should still be red now!"

Dugu Yun pursed his lips, there are some facts that should not be asked again, the result is already obvious, the home that the Qu family has spent all their efforts to build is naturally the thing they value the most, and they are definitely unwilling to give it up, with the ambition of the royal family, the result is self-evident, this place has become the most important thing for the Qu family, and even more than life, Duguyun can already imagine the situation when the Qu family fought a bloody battle to defend their homeland!

Lei Daqiang wanted to say comfort, but he didn't know what to say, he looked at Duguyun, expecting him to say something.

Dugu Yun shook his head slightly, maybe people who also have painful experiences may have some resonance, but they understand better that the wounds in their hearts are pale and powerless except for action and time.

Shan Xie looked up into the distance, and the mountains in the middle of the lake were full of trees, and in the dark night, it was like a guard with teeth and claws covering the scenery of the mountain tightly, adding a little mystery to it out of thin air. He said softly, "Xiaoqu, do you know how to sneak into this isolated island. ”

Duguyun smiled slightly, Jiang is still old and spicy, and a word can pull Qu Mingxian out of his sad memories!

Qu Mingxian said: "It's impossible, before the royal family was controlled, only with my family's power, it would be difficult for others to steal to the island, not to mention that it is now handled by the people of the royal family. ”

Shan Xie sighed: "Sure enough, now it's just impossible to rely on a few people or a few small forces to stir up the troubled waters!"

Dugu Yun did not give up and said: "Everything is flawed, and there can be nothing perfect." After saying that, he was suddenly stunned, and even he didn't know why he suddenly said such a sentence.

Qu Mingxian wanted to refute, but his heart was full of thoughts about the home that was close at hand, so he didn't speak.

The water is rippling, and the dark clouds in the air make the lake like ink, which makes people feel a little palpitation!

The surroundings were very quiet, and the four of them suppressed the frequency of their breathing and heartbeat, even with the ability of a single evil, they were not sure to break into the island in front of them, but they had already come and had not sought some useful information, how could they give up easily?

Duguyun looked at the dark lake, secretly thinking in his heart, and suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Qu, I don't know if the Qu family has any living besides you?"

Lei Daqiang looked at Duguyun blankly, he didn't know why Duguyun had to ask this knowing question repeatedly.

Qu Mingxian was gloomy, and Duguyun's words sent him into painful memories again.

Dugu Yun said again: "Don't be sad, I mean if the Qu family has someone who surrendered to the royal family and betrayed the family?"

From Qu Mingxian's mouth, it was concluded that the time when the royal family attacked the Qu family was exactly when the battle with the temple was hot, and it was also the weakest period for the royal family as a whole, and the royal family in the border area had never been touched, and now after seeing the layout of this island, if the imperial family was at its weakest at that time, it could also be attacked in a short time, if there was no internal annihilation and external cooperation, this is absolutely impossible!

Qu Mingxian stood up suddenly, and said bitterly: "Impossible, the Qu family definitely has no one who betrayed his own conscience." After saying that, he sat on the ground, and almost fell into the lake, so startled that Lei Daqiang hurriedly supported him.

Dugu Yun approached Qu Mingxian and said: "Don't be blinded by your feelings, since you are so confident in the island you have built for generations, how can you be easily captured by the royal family who won and weakened at that time without internal annihilation in it?" ”

Shan Xie glanced at Dugu Yun deeply, and agreed with what Dugu Yun said!

"You are talking nonsense! My second uncle is here to ......" Qu Mingxian's face was flushed, and he was very emotional, but he couldn't say anything more halfway through his words!

Shan Xie immediately knocked down Dugu Yun and Lei Daqiang, only to see the waves on the lake in the dark, as if there were oars rowing!

There were two people on the boat, and in the haze, they could only vaguely see the height of the two people, but they couldn't see the faces of the people who came.

Qu Mingxian's eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils shrank sharply! This scene happened to be seen by Dugu Yun, and he secretly thought: "Presumably, there must be someone on the boat who is from the Qu family!"

"Brother Qu, do you see how we have taken care of this island in the city since we started it, and how does it compare to your eldest brother?"

"Naturally, the prince is well governed, how can my short-sighted eldest brother compare with you who has the world in mind? ”

Dugu Yun and Qu Mingxian's bodies shook at the same time, obviously the two characters in this sentence touched the heartstrings of their hearts at the same time!

"Oh?

"Of course not, it's not even worthy of lifting shoes with you!"

"Hahaha, that's a good point! Your Qu family has guarded this projectile land for generations, and the frog at the bottom of the well who sits in the well and watches the sky is still delusional about resisting my army? But you know the general situation, and you know that you will take refuge in me and fight the world with me!"

"That's natural, although I am surrounded by some short-sighted people, but can not erase the ambition in my heart, this time fortunately appreciated by the prince, I have a chance to show my ambitions, the prince is so kind and virtuous, the villain I must remember in my heart. ”

"Very good, very good! I wonder when you are going to get rid of your arrogant nephew?

"The prince can rest assured that when he is allowed to leave, he is to use him as bait to lure other people with bad intentions, so as to get rid of other disobedient people in the city in one fell swoop, and it is not soft-hearted. ”

Duguyun and Lei Daqiang looked at Qu Mingxian in unison, only to see that his whole body was trembling, obviously so angry that he couldn't help himself.

"Oh, I wonder if you've caught those big fish lately?"

This sentence was already blurred in my ears, and as the boat went away, I could only hear the word "Lu" in a blur!

Qu Mingxian's face turned pale, and he muttered: "This is impossible, this is impossible, my second uncle is not this kind of person? Our Qu family is not harmed by him, it is definitely not ......."

Lei Daqiang slapped the top of his head suddenly, pushed Dugu Yun and said, "Thank God, if you hadn't come over, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how I died!"

Dugu Yun shook his head helplessly, looking at Shan Xie Dao: "Uncle Shan, Uncle Lu's stronghold is not safe at all, I'm afraid our operation has also been exposed, what should we do?"

Shan Xie pondered for a long time and said: "We still have to go back to the restaurant, otherwise it will alarm the royal family, but we can't stay in this Linyang City for a long time." After speaking, he looked at Qu Mingxian and said, "Don't be sad, this won't do you any good!"

Qu Mingxian trembled, tears came out of his eyes, and he sobbed: "This is impossible, my second uncle can't be such a vicious person, it's impossible, it's all a family, although he has different ambitions, how could he poison his own family because of this?"

Dugu Yun looked at Qu Mingxian lightly, during this period of time, he has seen a lot of abuse and deception between people, and he is almost numb to these.

Dawn was approaching, but the night was getting darker.

The islands in the lake fade into the night, leaving only a few curves to outline the sky and the earth.

The surroundings were a little strangely quiet, and even Qu Mingxian, who was crying, just bit his lip tightly, not daring to make a sound. The three of them waited quietly for his emotions to calm down regardless of the danger of their lives, which made him feel a trace of guilt in his heart, if he stayed for a while, as soon as the morning dawned, once the people of the royal family found out that they were by the lake, there must be death or life, Qu Mingxian endured the depression in his heart, stood up and said: "Everyone come with me, we must get rid of their warning hell, we can be safe!"
