The news of the stone monument in the "Qingquan River" continued to ferment, and the eight words "the world is in chaos, the four seas kneel" made the entire "Fengdu City" panic. Many ordinary people don't know what these eight words represent, but the civil and military officials and the generals defending the city all have the same thought in their minds: "The star is the star of the bright thorn"

At night, in the main hall of the "Qianyuan Palace" of the second prince, there were Ming Thorn Star, Qian Qunxiao, Dongfang Danyu, Princess Ming Feiyu of the Sun and Princess Yun Bingyan of Xiqi. In addition to Dongfang Danyu, several other people have a lot to do with Ming Thorn Star. What happened during the day, Qian Qunxiao was naturally clear at the scene, so he was also invited to the mansion by Ming Thorn Star. As soon as Ming Feiyu heard the rumors, he immediately pulled Yun Bingyan with him.

Although there were five people sitting in the lobby, none of them spoke, and at this moment, a pin drop could be clearly heard.

After a while, Ming Feiyu stood up first and said worriedly: "No, I have to explain it to my father, otherwise it will be very bad for the second brother." ”

Hearing this, Ming Thorn Xing immediately stood up and planned to stop Ming Feiyu, but before he could speak, Yang Cheng, the leader of the guards, walked in quickly, hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Second prince, Qiu Shaohan, the leader of the guards beside the prince, has already led people to take care of the surrounding groups, and he also called Hai Qingyue." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qian Qunxiao and the others were startled at the same time, and vaguely felt that something unusual was happening. But at this moment, it was too late to ask, and everyone immediately followed Ming Thorn Star to the gate of the "Qianyuan Palace".

"The second prince, a thousand young heroes."

As soon as Qian Qunxiao and the others arrived at the door, the "Imperial City Division" Zhonglang Hai Qingyue immediately stepped forward to greet him. Behind him, the commander Shi Yan Qingqiu, the commander Liu Chengfei, and the leader Qiu Shaohan beside the prince all came. At this moment, there were more than 1,000 officers and soldiers around the "Qianyuan Palace", not to mention the surrounding area, and all of them were the catchers of the "Imperial City Division" and the guards of the Prince's Mansion.

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Queen's personal maid Lan Qiu has disappeared, and the matter is serious, so I notified General Hai and the three of them to come to your mansion to search."

Qiu Shaohan hugged his fists at Ming Thorn Star, saying "I'm sorry", but he didn't get off the horse at all, and his expression was very arrogant.

Ming Tingxing frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "The queen's maid is lost, what does it have to do with this prince?" ”

"Because Lan Qiu had a conflict with Concubine Shu's maid, and someone saw her enter the mansion. So I had to offend. ”

After Qiu Shaohan finished speaking, his right hand was raised and he motioned to search the house.

Princess Ming Feiyu couldn't hold back any longer, walked to the steps of the door, and said in a cold voice: "A little escort leader is so bold that he dares to search the Prince's Mansion." Don't you get down when you see Princess Ben? ”

Ming Feiyu's loud shout suddenly frightened Qiu Shaohan. You can offend anyone, but don't offend the pearl of the saint today. Frightened, he immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down in front of Ming Feiyu to plead guilty, and pleaded vigorously, but secretly turned around and signaled Ming Feiyu not to hinder him from performing his official duties.

Seeing that today's matter was no longer good, Ming Tingxing had to let Qiu Shaohan take someone in to search, and invited Hai Mingyue and Yan Qingqiu to follow him to the lobby to drink tea and wait.

Everyone was acquaintances, and after chatting for a while, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Immediately after, Qiu Shaohan walked in quickly. Behind him was a stretcher, on which lay a woman dressed as a maid covered in blood.

When the second prince saw it, he was stunned. He has seen this woman a few times, and it is Lan Qiu, the personal maid of the queen's mother. Judging by the situation, Lan Qiu has been dead for a long time.

"What's going on?"

Mingthorn Star asked in surprise.

Qiu Shao smiled coldly, but when he glanced at Princess Jiaoyang, he immediately put his smile back and said seriously: "This is dug up in the back garden of the Second Prince's Mansion, may I ask the Second Prince, how did she be buried here?" ”

Ming Thorn Xing was speechless, he wanted to say that someone must have deliberately framed him, but who wanted to frame him, he didn't have a clue, and he couldn't come up with any evidence.

At this moment, Liu Chengfei, the commander of the "Imperial City Division", hurriedly ran in and said in a panic: "The emperor and the prince are here, take over." ”

When Ming Thorn Star and the others heard that the saint had arrived, they immediately trotted all the way to the door with a nervous expression. Qian Qunxiao also wanted to go out to face the saint, but was stopped by Ming Feiyu, the princess of the sun, with her eyes. He pulled the Oriental Niwa and hid behind the curtain in the lobby.

Outside the gate, there were thousands more Yulin troops. Ming Thorn Star trembled and knelt in front of the "Nanyun" Emperor Ming Qichen and bowed his head to plead guilty. He knew that his father must have come to ask the teacher for the words "returning to the stars from all over the world".

"Hmph, you said it wasn't you, I believe you for the time being. The rivers and mountains that have been fought in the field will be passed on to those who have both talent and virtue. ”

Ming Qichen snorted coldly, and drank to make Ming Thorn Star get up and reply.

The crown prince Ming Chengxuan, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and said gloomily: "Second brother, even if the stone tablet in the river is not for you to make trouble, then how can you explain the maid next to my mother?" ”

"Prince...... This ......"

Ming Thorn Star was speechless for a moment, he wanted to say that someone had framed him. But there is no evidence, and he has to come up with substantial evidence.

Ming Chengxuan sneered, and said in a weird manner: "Is it because Lan Qiu and your maid had a conflict that day, and your mother's maid was slapped twice." ”

"Big brother, there is no such thing as ......"

Ming Thorn Star was arguing in a hurry, and was about to continue, when suddenly a piercing cry came from the night sky. The screams were terrible and terrifying, and people shuddered to hear them.

Ming Qichen couldn't help but shiver, and looked up into the air. I saw that in mid-air, a huge bat hovered in the distant sky, and the two black wings were two meters long each, which looked particularly terrifying. Immediately afterwards, a sharp cry like a strange bird suddenly resounded in the air: "The black-clothed king, go back to Fengdu, the world will be in chaos, and the world will return to the stars." ”

"The King in Black", "The King in Black is back"

The guards of the "Imperial City Division" and the guards of the Prince's Mansion all exclaimed in surprise.

The title of "King in Black" is really terrifying. Ten years ago, the name of "King in Black" swept the entire "Fengdu City". In fact, the "King in Black" is not alone, because all everyone has seen is a bat as huge as tonight. But how can a bat talk? No one can say clearly. Since its appearance, there have been outbreaks of plague and cholera in the city, and there are ten empty houses in the city, and smallpox-stained lepers and decomposing corpses can be seen everywhere in the streets. Life is not a single line, and the barbarian tribe Da Chi, who is ruled by Nanyun Country, is also evil everywhere, burning, killing and looting everywhere. Later, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Qian Zhenting, led a thousand armies and the "Red Blood Battalion" to completely quell the Great Red Rebellion. Then he led famous doctors from all over the world to return to "Fengdu" to treat the people, and after more than a year of hard work, the plague was finally completely eradicated. Later, Qianzhen Court sent people to search for the "Black Heavenly King", but they never found its shadow. Since then, the "King in Black" seems to have disappeared from the world and has never appeared again. No one would have thought that ten years later, the "Black King" would flash into the night sky again, and it seemed to be even more strange and terrifying than the first time.

"Arrows, arrows"

Mingqichen screamed hysterically.

As soon as Ming Qichen's words fell, the black bat in mid-air suddenly stood up, its huge wings flapped twice, and a huge whirlwind blew dozens of guards on the ground back a few steps back.

"The king in black, unparalleled in the world, under the order of the black clothes, the four seas surrender"

The strange screams just now rang out again, and they were even more terrible and terrifying than they had been. The black bat also followed the sound and disappeared into the distance, as fast as lightning, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
