Chapter 433 - Changes in the Imperial City
At the speed of Lin Yan and the others, they were rushing towards Shengle City at full speed, and it would take some time. What's more, Lin Yan's injury has not healed now, so his speed has slowed down a little.
But now that he has offended the "Bone Erosion Gate" and escaped in the hands of an existence like Dugu Ye, he naturally does not dare to slack off, and has made many arrangements along the way, even if there are pursuers coming, it will inevitably take more effort to catch up with them.
Once Lin Yan and the others enter Shengle City, even if their whereabouts are leaked, they can be protected for the time being.
Lin Yan's injuries are mostly caused by battles, and as for the poisonous injuries, they can be regarded as "old problems", even if Miao Miao is able to get the true inheritance of the medicine king, he is powerless to solve it, and he can only try his best to calm down, which is excellent.
The harvest of this trip is not small, and the most important thing is a bad breath! Even the clay people also have three points of anger, and they have been plotted and provoked by the people of the "Bone Erosion Gate" several times, Lin Yan has long wanted to find out their bad luck, but now he is also able to reach his thoughts!
But the consequences of this are not small, not to mention that Lin Yan swept all the good things on the fourth floor of the Danfang, and no matter how many "Bone Erosion Sect" people died under the spread of the toxin, just because he refused the invitation of the sect leader Dugu Ye was enough to make him hold a grudge.
Moreover, Lin Yan always felt that the stone pages on the fifth floor of the Danfang were not mortal, otherwise he would not let the stone fish sit on the fifth floor to guard. Now that it has been taken by himself, I am afraid that it will be another disaster!
But as the saying goes, "if there are more lice, you don't itch, and if you have more debts, you don't have to worry", anyway, your grievances with the "bone erosion" are irreconcilable, so you don't need to care about one thing or several things that annoy the other party, and the result is always much worse.
It's obviously not very realistic to want to resist the entire sect of the other party with the strength of just a few people, and this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and now what we need to do is more to take precautions.
Time passed, and the group gradually approached Shengle City, and they didn't see Dugu Ye chasing after them along the way, which also made Lin Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
Since his debut, he has never felt the powerlessness he felt in the face of Dugu Ye, even if his strength has increased greatly now, but when he is facing the top powerhouse of this kind of martial artist, he is still far behind.
If it weren't for the sudden slashing of the black knife, Lin Yan might have been pinched to death by Dugu Ye like a little chicken!
He didn't want to experience this feeling of powerlessness anymore, and thought, "I still have to solve this toxin problem as soon as possible and break through to the innate realm!" ”
Now that I think about it, I did have some "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" in the past, and with the strength of the end at that time, I dared to face the Xuantian Sect, and it is a miracle that I can live in peace until now!
Of course, it's not all luck, the most important thing is to have Qiu Lao by his side at all times to solve disasters for him.
This time the black knife accident made Lin Yan puzzled, originally the recovery of the black knife was an unexpected joy, but later Lin Yan found that things may not be so simple.
Because if Qiu Lao woke up and would never say a word, and immediately returned to silence after making a move, it could only mean that Qiu Lao had not fully recovered, and he might just sense that Lin Yan had a life and death crisis, so he just forcibly took action.
Lin Yan has no better way to do this for the time being, so he can only find an opportunity to see if there are any treasures that can accelerate the recovery of Qiu Lao, so as to wake him up as soon as possible.
I didn't realize that I had come to the outside of Shengle City, but I saw that the capital of the Southern Dynasty at this time was much different from the previous time, and the most significant thing was that there were many white silk floating above the city gate.
Having this thing means that someone is dying, but who is qualified to make the whole city white after death?
Looking closely, the soldiers under the white silk were also wearing mourning clothes outside the armor, and a wave of uneasiness surged into Mingya's heart.
Something happened!
With such a big battle, there is a high probability that something will happen to someone from the royal family, and what Mingya knows is that her father has been seriously ill for a long time, is it ......
Not only Mingya was like this, but Fei Qian's face on the side also changed slightly, and his heart was uneasy.
Although he is anxious, the matter is not yet clear, and it is not good to show too much, otherwise once the city guards find out that something is wrong, it will only increase the incident.
The carriage was too carefree, and everyone simply abandoned the carriage and entered the city on foot, disguised themselves, so that they could avoid interrogation.
Monk Chen, Guo Toad, Lin Yan and others scattered into the city to prevent the target from being too big to attract attention, and then joined up after entering the city.
I don't know if I didn't expect Mingya, the "fugitive princess", to return to the city on her own, so I didn't feel defended against her. Or maybe the royal family felt that this matter was not suitable to be publicized, so the soldiers below did not know about it, and there was no way to talk about it or anything.
But Lin Yan had a feeling that when he entered the city, the city guards all had a murderous aura on their bodies, I don't know why?
As they walked into the city, a faint smell of blood entered his nose, making Lin Yan frown slightly. Turning his head to look at Fei Gan, he saw his brows furrowed, obviously he had also discovered this.
Not only that, but if you look closely, you can also distinguish a slight red color on the stone slabs on the side of the street, which makes people inevitably guess in their hearts.
"Ever used swords here?" Lin Yan's heart couldn't help but have this thought, but Shengle was the capital of the Southern Dynasty after all, who was so bold and dared to raise swords here, this is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!
The group originally planned to go straight to the imperial city, although they were suspected of throwing themselves into the net, but now that the situation is special, they can't manage so much.
However, it backfired, the perimeter outside the Imperial City was heavily guarded, and unlike in the past, anyone who tried to approach the Imperial City would be noticed by heavily armed soldiers, and then they would take it directly.
Seeing this posture, I'm afraid that it won't work to go in directly, so I can only see if there is any chance to sneak in at night.
Now that the vigilance of the Imperial City has increased several times compared to the past, there must be something big happening, but I don't know where the disaster is?
Although she knew that Mingya was anxious, she could only press what she thought for the time being, waiting for it to get dark and listen to some information.
The group walked into a restaurant, ordered some food and sat in the hall on the first floor. If such a big thing happens in Shengle City, people will inevitably have discussions, and maybe they don't need to deliberately investigate, and the information will be automatically sent to the door.
Sure enough, within a moment, Lin Yan and the others heard a discussion at the adjacent table, and the main content was the strangeness of Shengle City today.
After listening attentively for a while, Lin Yan and the others basically figured out the root cause of this anomaly - the barbarian emperor died!
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Mingya, tears were in her eyes, and the next moment she was snatching out of her eyes, and the sadness in her heart was incomprehensible.
Lin Yan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and at the same time to prevent attracting the attention of others. Simply Mingya is now covered with a light veil, and others can't see clearly, but there is no one who comes forward to make trouble without opening his eyes.
Continuing to listen, one of the lean men said, "I have heard about His Majesty the Barbarian Emperor's serious illness, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden. Alas, now that my Southern Dynasty lacks the backbone of His Majesty the Barbarian Emperor, what should I do? ”
Another fat man who was a little rich said: "It is true that there is a serious illness, but what kind of person is His Majesty the Barbarian Emperor?" This matter is very strange! ”
The thin man said, "What do you mean by this, brother?" ”
The rich fat man looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Did the virtuous brother know about the new emperor's enthronement?" ”
The lean man nodded, this matter was already public news, and he naturally knew about it.
The rich fat man continued: "Do you know who the successor is? ”
The lean man said: "Naturally, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, speaking of which, His Royal Highness has always been shrewd and capable, quite the shadow of a barbarian emperor, with His Royal Highness in charge, my Southern Dynasty can also rest assured!" ”
The rich fat man sneered and said: "In ancient times, he was not virtuous, but now that His Majesty the Barbarian Emperor has died, and the eldest prince is missing, this matter is also interesting!" ”
"Brother Xian just came back from outside, I didn't know that the city was full of elite soldiers under Murong a few nights ago, and the blood stains have not dried up yet!"
The thin man's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said, "Brother is talking about usurping ......."
The rich fat man's eyes were quick, he covered his mouth, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "Silence!" Do you want to kill me! ”
The thin man also knew that he was speechless, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were instantly wet with sweat.
The topic that the two talked about was already relatively sensitive, and they looked left and right, lest they be caught by someone with a heart.
Lin Yan and the others were there, and they didn't pay attention to their side at all, and the rest of the places were also talking about themselves. The first floor is already noisy, and it is not easy to distinguish what the rest of the guests are talking about in this environment, which is why the rich fat man chose to be here.
But after thinking about it, he finally felt that he was not at ease, so he called the lean man and left in a hurry.
can say these remarks, these two people are definitely not as simple as civilians, but Lin Yan is not familiar with life, and there is no way to tell the difference.
Ming Ya wiped away her tears and said to Fei Gan: "Uncle Fei, are they telling the truth?" ”
Fei Qian was silent, he knew in his heart that the second prince Yang Guang had been secretly cultivating his own power, and he was quite close to the Murong family, the pillar of the military. To say that Yang Guang has no idea about the throne, he categorically does not believe it!
It's just that although His Majesty the Barbarian Emperor is seriously ill, it is impossible for him to die so suddenly, and the eldest prince who should inherit the throne also disappears, and it is too coincidental!
There are so many coincidences in the world, and some are just careful calculations.
It's just that Fei Gan still can't believe it, and he doesn't even dare to think in that direction.
Can anyone really do something to kill a king and seize the throne?
Faced with Mingya's question, he couldn't answer it, and everything could only be known after entering the palace in person.
Lin Yan said: "Xiaoya, don't worry, if someone plots against your father, no matter the ends of the world, I will not let him go!" ”
Mingya nodded, the truth of everything could only be found out by them on the spot.
As night fell, three black-clothed figures shuttled through Shengle City, and then quietly escaped into the imperial city and disappeared......
