Chapter 214: Taking a Risk
The news of Zhu Xiaoqi's big trouble in Jiangshan Tower spread all over Haiyue City on the morning of the second day, and immediately made the whole city look sideways. After a brief silence, he once again caused a strong blow to people's nerves. The people were cheering for him, because the hero in their hearts, even though they had been treated unfairly, was still the hero who could make their blood sparkle.
The arrival of the Ice and Snow God of War and the Prince of the Rising Sun, and the stay of the mainland superstar Meng Geli had already made Haiyue City boil like a pot of oil, and Zhu Xiaoqi suddenly poured a scoop of water, which suddenly made this pot of oil explode violently.
"This time, the Zheng family has fallen into blood mold! A general was killed in a pit, and the heir of the family was beaten in public, and the face of the nobles was gone!" someone sighed infinitely.
"Who is Brother Seven? Brother Qi is not a person, he is a god like a demon? Who made the Zheng family not look long and want to touch his moldy head? I look at this situation, the Zheng family is afraid that they will be removed from the noble circle of Haiyue City. "Someone gloated.
"It's up to the owner to beat the dog. In the final analysis, the Zheng family is working hard for the Wu family, and Zhu Xiaoqi did this, making it clear that he was going to the Wu family. The young master of the Wu family, his temperament is still a little worse, he is desperate with Meng Yi on the front line, but he let the people of the Zheng family pull the back legs of others, and a battle of righteousness among young people suddenly turned into a life-and-death struggle. Since Zhu Xiaoqi came back alive, he naturally has to ask the Wu family for an explanation!"
"Although the seventh brother is strong, the power of Wu and Lan is in full swing, I'm afraid it's not so easy to mess with. What's more, there are big names behind the Wu family, and this battle of Seventh Brother is difficult to fight!"
"Has he fought a good battle along the way? From the Green Snake Society to Xishan Xinxun, from Blackwater City to the Wolf Clan's northern land, has he ever lost? The opponent has changed from Mo Tianci to Meng Yi, doesn't he still live well? Is Wu Chen comparable to these two people?"
All kinds of discussions outside are the gossip of outsiders, which come casually, and soon become calm. But others in the center of power are not so easy. While listening to the discussions, they nervously watched the development of the situation and the attitudes of all parties, and carefully considered their next steps.
Imperial. Moon.
This palace used to be the residence of Long Yinyue, the first male lord of the Celestial Dragon Empire, when he was young, so it has a transcendent place in the hearts of the members of the Celestial Dragon Imperial Family. In the past few hundred years of history, many princes of Tianlong have become the lords of the Moon Palace, and most of them have finally succeeded to the throne and become the new emperors.
In the era of Long Xiaoyun, the first master of the Moon Palace was the eldest prince Long Zhantian. At that time, everyone firmly believed that he was destined to become the future emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and he would continue Long Xiaoyun's will to lead the country to a stronger tomorrow. With great strength and talent, he is like the moon in the sky, and his two younger brothers are just stars that emit a glimmer of light in the night sky compared to him. His father's vigorous cultivation, the full support of the military, and the submission of the major families of the Heavenly Dragon Empire made his position as immovable as a rock.
It's a pity that the Flying Dragon was defeated, Mu Bai died, and the Moon Palace lost its proud master.
Time has changed, the glorious history of Long Zhantian has been sealed in the dust, and the Moon Palace has also ushered in a new master, the second prince Long Zhanyue. However, for this prince, staying in the Moon Palace is just a compliment, and it is still very difficult for him to ascend to the throne. In front of him, there were two mountains that he had to overcome, one was his father, whom he feared, and the other was his scheming, eight-sided younger brother Long Zhanye. Moreover, in the near future, it seems that there will be a mountain that will appear, and his sister, who has a mysterious origin and is loved by thousands of people, is experiencing a transformation from a cocoon into a butterfly. Once she dances in Haiyue City, she will become the third force in the struggle for imperial power, a powerful force that can affect the future trend of the Heavenly Dragon.
"Big brother, I'm not as good as you after all! Although I live in your Moon Palace, I have never been able to reach your height. At dusk, Long Zhanyue sat in the garden of the Moon Palace, staring at an osmanthus tree in front of him with a complicated expression, with a wry smile on his face.
On the tree, the buds bent the branches, and the faint fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating. This is a tree planted by Long Zhantian with the two brothers, and he hopes that the relationship between the three brothers and Tianlong's national fortune can last for a long time.
"There are so many things I don't want to do, why do you want to force me?" he sighed and looked up at the sky, "It was like this in the past, and it is like this now, it is really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop!"
The sky, the sun is shining, the evening clouds are like fire, and the blood is red, just like the blood light of the world.
Long Zhanyue closed his eyes. The blood-colored sunset made him feel a little uneasy, because it reminded him of some unbearable past, and he would realize that his hands had been stained with too much blood.
A guard quietly walked into the garden and came to him.
"Your Highness, Xu Hu has sent someone. The guard whispered.
"Nope. Long Zhanyue said softly, "Let him bring a word back to Xu Hu." I will pay back the sins I have created, and even if I don't kill him, that person will take his life. ”
"Yes. The guard said respectfully.
"If he misses, you know how to deal with the aftermath, right?" Long Zhanyue asked lightly.
"My subordinates understand!" the guard said in a deep voice.
"Go!" Long Zhanyue waved his hand slightly.
Shortly after the guards left, an old man in a white robe walked out from behind a rockery like a ghost.
"What, you're not going to fight for him?" he smiled as he walked towards Long Zhanyue.
"This person, even the woman I like dares to rob, if I want to take him for my own use, what is the taste of this prince in front of him? Even if he helps the world in the future, he will become a thorn in my heart!" Long Zhanyue sighed leisurely.
"I still haven't figured out who saved him. The old man walked up to him, sat opposite him, and frowned.
"Isn't it the old man's man?" Long Zhanyue looked at him in surprise.
"No, it's someone else. The old man shook his head, "Not only that, but my people also discovered an incredible thing when they were surveying the battlefield. ”
"What's the matter?" Long Zhanyue felt a pang in his heart. There are not many things in this world that can surprise this old guy, and if this matter is related to Zhu Xiaoqi, it is definitely not a good thing.
"There is a strange and amazing energy left on the battlefield, which does not belong to the spiritual power of a warrior, nor is it the mana of a magician. ”
"What is that?" Long Zhanyue was startled.
"I don't know, but it's scary. The Martial Saint I sent out was blasted into slag by that force. The old man said in a deep voice, "So I specially came to remind you to be careful." If you miss a blow, you must stop decisively, and don't give people the opportunity to reap the benefits. Before we have figured out his background, it would be too risky to rush to him again. Don't let so many years of hard work go to waste, you can't bear such a result, and I can't bear it. ”
"Okay!" Long Zhanyue realized the severity of the matter and nodded.
"Why don't I put up with him and not move him?" he asked again.
"You can try it, otherwise we'll never know his cards. He and we are not all the way, and they are destined to become enemies in the future, so it is good to prepare in advance. The old man replied.
"Hmm. ”
"By the way, I heard that the prince of the Rising Sun sent someone to take the initiative to show you after he arrived in Haiyue City, but you refused. Why?" asked the old man lightly.
Long Zhanyue was shocked when he heard this. This matter is an absolute secret, how did this old thing know? Could it be that he has been secretly spying on himself? Thinking of this, Long Zhanyue couldn't help but feel a chill in his vest.
"Your expression is strange, as if you have an opinion about me?" the old man guessed his thoughts, and smiled, "Don't worry, we are partners, and I don't disdain to use those means." I can tell you that my news is from within the Rising Sun. ”
"If I become the Lord of the Dragons, I will give you what you want. But if I want to sell my country to seek glory and be an emperor who lives by looking at other people's faces, it is wishful thinking! Therefore, I don't have anything to talk about with him, I can meet him on the battlefield if I want to meet, and talk with a sword!" Long Zhanyue said coldly.
The old man smiled and praised, "I appreciate your courage and arrogance! As long as you can succeed to the throne, I will give you the greatest support, and the Rising Sun Empire may not be able to get you!"
"If you cross the line, so will my attitude. Long Zhanyue was not confused by the conditions he prescribed, and said lightly.
"Rest assured. What we are after is not the same thing. In the face of Long Zhanyue's provocation, the old man seemed very calm.
There are some things in this world that are more attractive than imperial power, even if Long Zhanyue becomes the emperor, he will not be able to reach the height he stands.
He and his companions were not looking down on all beings, but they were looking at the beings under the sky as nothing.
After Xu Hu received the message brought back by his subordinates, the whole person fell into an ice cave. He offered loyalty, he offered wealth, he gave all his energy, but the second prince, whom he regarded as his greatest supporter, abandoned him at the most dangerous time.
"How is this possible? Could it be that that kid's strength has already threatened His Highness?" Xu Hu thought so, and suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet. He knew his position in the heart of the second prince, he also knew that it was difficult for the second prince to make this decision, and he knew that the door to power was not closed to him. It's just that the shape of shì forced the second prince to bow his head, and if that person lived, he would have to die.
At this time, he has become an outcast, and if this outcast wants to live again, there is only one condition to go. Although the second prince did not say anything, he sent a clear message to him: if he kills Zhu Xiaoqi to resolve the crisis, he can become his heart again.
"I thought it was calm, but I didn't expect this kid to be secretly investigating us. Now His Highness doesn't care about us, how can this be good!" Xu Ming, who was sitting next to Xu Hu, sighed lightly. knew that the people of the Li family were so difficult, and he would rather call a chicken than touch the pregnant woman.
After the two of them returned to Haiyue City, although they lived in seclusion and hid their whereabouts, they were still targeted by Liu Yuanfeng, the deputy director of the Nancheng Police Station. At first, those people in the police station were only secretly following, but recently they have appeared openly on the occasion of their appearance, which has brought them great pressure.
They all know the rules of the police station. Liu Yuanfeng must have found some clues, and he may even have some evidence in his hand that is extremely unfavorable to them, so he will act like this.
Putting aside the relationship between the two of them and the second prince who are very close, just talking about the power of the two families, it is not something that a small deputy director can afford to provoke. It can be inferred from this that Liu Yuanfeng must have received support from the Li family. The purpose behind such a step-by-step approach, but never attacking them, is thought-provoking.
"I had to kill him. Xu Hu said fiercely, "As long as he dies, the world will be peaceful." Even if Liu Yuanfeng found something, he could only rot in his stomach. ”
"Even Meng Yi didn't kill him, can we do it?" Xu Ming asked with a frown.
"If you and I scatter all our wealth, I don't believe that no one can do this job!" Xu Hu Senran said. As long as life is there, status is still there, what is money?
