After entering the night house, the two were silent on the road, and after entering the study of the night family master, Ye Junyi closed the door.

Bai Shiying looked around, how to say, a place like the head of the family's study should be the most important place for a family, and outsiders can't easily come in, but Ye Junyi brought her here, and the night family master didn't object?

"Although the night family doesn't have to worry about a villain sabotaging it or being overheard, it's always wrong to take more precautions." Ye Junyi explained, and as he spoke, he motioned for Bai Shiying to sit down.

And he also took out a few pieces of paper from a certain compartment on the bookshelf on the side, sat down next to Bai Shiying at random, and handed her the things in his hand: "This is the information about Qinglan Academy that I ordered someone to collect in the past few days, you better take a look." ”

From last night's conversation to now, only six or seven hours have passed in between, but Ye Junyi has prepared the information for the next destination in advance.

If he hadn't known it for a long time, it was that the people under him were extremely capable.

Six or seven pages of information is a lot of information, and it is by no means possible to find out in less than half a day.

"What are these?" Bai Shiying took it, she didn't rush to see it first, but raised her eyes and looked at Ye Junyi's face as if she was thoughtful.

Ye Junyi bowed slightly.

Bai Shiying understood.

"Why did he give you this?" Bai Shiying looked at it with confidence.

Although Ye Junyi's tone was a little flat, there was also a hint of doubt: "I don't know, at the beginning, I did go to visit your fourth uncle from the Bai family as soon as I returned to the capital, and he didn't seem surprised at all by my arrival, only when I said that I hoped he wouldn't make a move and use this to make the Bai family and the Ye family smoothly form an alliance, he was surprised...... Well, a little surprise. ”

Hearing that Bai Yueze would show surprise in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Shiying raised her head, and after Ye Junyi was silent for two seconds, she changed.

"I've never seen anything like him...... Uh, people? Don't be angry when I say that. ”

"No, because I feel the same way."

The two of them went one after the other, but they were silent at the same time for the second time.

"What's that look on your face? I didn't actually talk to him much, and these are not secrets among the five major families, right? Bai Shiying had a strange expression, but felt that it was strange that Ye Junyi was so shocked, she shook the information in her hand, and showed a smile that was really so: "I seem to know why he gave you this, but don't worry, you go on first." ”

Ye Junyi was puzzled, but he didn't object.

So I continued.

"At that time, the city was still very chaotic, I saw that there should be a reason for his containment, otherwise no one in the capital would have been alive for a long time, when I anxiously arrived and thought that the Ye family would also encounter accidents, what I saw was that the five major families except for some dead people, in fact, the foundation of the essence has not been shaken much."

"This result is very surprising, you must know how strong those unknown guys who are ravaging in the city are, ordinary people are simply unable to resist."

"Although most of the five major families have cultivation, the spiritual cultivation of the general low-level spirit realm is the same as ordinary people for some guys, it stands to reason that the entire city should turn into a bloodbathed dead city in less than fifteen minutes!"

"I knew that someone should have made a move behind it, but I didn't know that person was in the Bai family at the time, until I remembered the cold ice outside the city gate that still hasn't dispersed, and the disgusting things in the city that the human body put together can't set off an overwhelming wave no matter how strong they are, someone is secretly solving those big guys, and what we see is deliberately let go of the person who made the shot."

Speaking of which.

Ye Junyi's expression was a little more serious, his eyes were not sharp, but he stared at Bai Shiying's cheek as he lowered his head and flipped through the information for a moment.

He exhaled a little, showing a hint of helplessness on his face: "Thanks to his undisguised cruelty under the unbearable and benevolent coldness, it reminds me that when the Chinese New Year's Eve family was about to be extinct, he suddenly escaped, and it also reminded me that I have been disturbed by people for so many years to explore the truth of the year, whenever I am about to touch it, waiting for me is not bitter, but almost killing me!" ”

The movements in her hands paused slightly, Bai Shiying raised her head, and she understood: "So, you start to suspect that there is the same person behind it?" ”

"Yes."

"And that person must have a lot to do with the Bai family!"

……

Meanwhile.

In the palace of the capital, Rong Chenxi has been escorted, today is the time of his death, the damage of the palace has also been repaired, and the main palace has also been restored to good condition, after all, it was here that was first built.

Rong Ziqing held a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, written in black and white, but it was so cold that there was a slight chill in his heart, and there was no joy in the people around him after they were reborn.

There is nothing else written on this page, only a short sentence.

A sentence that fits that person's style -

'Clear all obstacles, you are king!' ’

Clean?

Hinder?

The road to becoming a king is destined to be bumpy and difficult, and there are many brothers who have the same purpose and are ready to move like him, and there is no fatal disaster, so one by one he knows how to lick his face and start to come out, of course, he just doesn't have time to pay attention to these people.

It's just that people must be hindered, so light and fluttering, but behind it is blood.

Do you want him to kill his royal brother and royal brother...... Maybe not only that, but also his two older sisters......

Rong Ziqing's fingertips trembled, he reopened it and looked at it carefully, and finally closed his eyes vigorously and crumpled it into a ball of flames, devouring the pages and turning them into ashes.

Turn around.

The remaining momentary hesitation on his body was gone at this time!

He had already decided to go down this path alone, and he had done so much to get the support of that man, and now he had done it, he had done it as promised—only then would he be able to negotiate with that man even the slightest!

Sometimes Rong Ziqing also feels ridiculous, he squeezes his head, he can't do it from his heart, but he has to do what others want him to do, if a chess piece is casually weighed and manipulated.

But is it really bad?

No.

He can get what he wants, he wants Tanglin to become the well-deserved overlord of the Xuanling Continent from now on, he wants to become stronger, so strong that no one can control his fate, he wants to touch the authority of the most presumptuous and bold taboo for this piece of heaven and earth to challenge the laws of heaven and earth - he wants to resurrect one person!

"Block all palace gates!"

The cold voice carried a brutal and bloodthirsty aura, the air was filled with the gloom of the storm, and he couldn't see Rong Ziqing's face clearly, only a pair of dim eyes under the gloom, and a chill suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes, and the corners of his lips slowly raised an arc like a smile, and he said word by word: "From today on, no one is allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

The palace people around suppressed the panic in their hearts and hurriedly responded.

The palace gates are closed at the same time.

However, closing the palace gate at this time will not attract people's attention, because the bustle is gathered on the other side, which causes the rest of the capital to be deserted and empty, and naturally, no one notices the changes here.

But not the rest of the palace.

Rong Ziqing suddenly issued an order now, and it is still such an abnormal order, otherwise it will be difficult for people to think about it!

"Quick! The Third Highness said, block all the palace gates, no one is allowed to take half a step, violators, beheaded!! ”

The eunuch had a sharp voice, and those who could not ride horses were now allowed to ride around the palace, which made him look panicked and disheveled.

The order was carried out very thoroughly, and now the whole palace is under the control of Rong Ziqing's soldiers, and the people who belonged to Rong Chenxi and the old emperor before were all killed by him, and no one was still alive.

Innocent?

Innocent people have to die!

What's more, they are already in line? He is not innocent from the moment he stands in line, he has never been a person who allows his enemy to come back one day to make trouble for himself, since he wants to die, then he will die.

At this time.

In other parts of the palace, hearing the news, many princes and princesses who had taken the opportunity to live in the palace before panicked.

"Close the palace gates?!"

"What is Rong Ziqing going to do? Who gave him the right to dare to close the palace gates! ”

The first to learn the news was the eldest prince who was snubbed a long time ago, and it stands to reason that the throne is also divided into descendants, but the old prince is an exception, from the birth of the eldest prince to the birth of the ninth prince, there is no intention of establishing a crown prince in the middle.

The position of the crown prince is something that everyone wants to get when they are red-eyed, but they can't get it!

On the other hand, the second princess was very calm when she learned about it, she didn't think about anything else, anyway, the dog bites the dog's mouth and it has nothing to do with her, the princess.

It's just that when he heard that Rong Ziqing was so bold, he was still a little displeased: "My father is not dead yet, he is obviously ambitious when he does this, is he going to attack his father?" ”

One after another, everyone else also knew the news.

Closing the palace gate is such a big thing, naturally it can't be covered up even if you want to, not to mention that Rong Ziqing has never said anything to cover up, which makes the news fly even more unscrupulously.

"Your Highness knows that he is uneasy and kind! What is the temporary management of the size of the palace, this is clearly for the sake of the throne now! Another prince scolded directly, angry: "Those courtiers are also blind, and so are those untouchables in the city, all of them are blind!" said that Rong Ziqing was selfless and righteous? Bah! ”

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and poured it into his throat, and there were big fish and meat in front of the table, and his life was so happy.

Suddenly.

He felt that there was something too quiet around him.

"Why don't you speak? Didn't they all agree just now, but now they are all dumb, heh, just you minions, you still want to please this prince and soar in the future? The Nine Emperors didn't care.

He's been ignored for a long time.

When those minions saw that now that the emperor had fallen, and the three princes had also fallen, it was time to establish the emperor, and with his words, they coaxed a group of people to offer him up.

I didn't even know what the treatment of the prince was before, and the prince born in the palace has never been valued by anyone, even if he is the prince, so these days are probably the most nourishing time for him.

Now.

But if he looks back, he just glances......

There is no blood on the sword, because its owner cherishes it, and even a drop of blood will be gently wiped away.

Fell at his feet and kept his eyes open, and he couldn't shout until he died, so he could only last breathe from the place where the Nine Emperor Princes were so close...... It seems that as long as you reach out and reach to touch someone, unfortunately, there is no chance.

Rong Ziqing listened to his unscrupulous words, and there was no expression on his unpredictable Qingjun face, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment, and incompatible with the corpses lying all over the ground behind him.

"Speak! Why don't you speak! Are you all tired of living, don't forget that I will also be a prince, be careful that I am not happy to kill you all!! ”

He spat on Xingzi and flew everywhere, but no one echoed him, and the Nine Emperor Princes were angry, and directly slapped the table and got up, intending to teach these minions who didn't know life and death a painful lesson.

However, when he got up and turned the next second.

The Nine Emperors' faces changed, and his original anger turned into a flattering smile, and ......

"I'm afraid they won't be able to speak, Ninth Brother." Rong Ziqing's eyes were raised slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly hooked: "Dead man, can you live again?" ”

"No, I can't...... Hahaha, it turned out to be Seventh Brother, this is ......" The Nine Emperor Prince stammered, he looked around in disbelief how Rong Ziqing didn't make any movement at all.

All dead.

All the fifty men who were with him died......

died in the hands of Rong Ziqing, the seventh prince who was incarnated as justice in the eyes of the world!

"Can't?" Rong Ziqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and he shook his head: "You lied to me, someone told me that I could live!" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were dumbfounded: "Ah... Yes? ”

What can live?

Person?

Can the dead live? What a joke, how can a dead man come back to life!

"But if the dead had lived, these minions would have ...... long ago."

It's not done yet.

Rong Ziqing's non-serious voice easily broke his confusion, and he said expressionlessly: "Don't believe it, if you die once, I'll see if you can still live?" ”

The Nine Emperors understood this time.

He gasped.

"No, Brother Qi, you misunderstood, who is chewing the root of the tongue? I... I have no intention of competing for the throne, I know that Brother Qi wants to do it, so I will definitely support it, I will do whatever Brother Qi asks me to do, and I will fight wherever I want! I ......"

"There's too much nonsense."

A flash of cold light.

I saw a touch of blood, staining the food and wine all over the room with scarlet.

Plop.

The last corpse behind him stared at the top of his head silently and in horror, blood gushing from his neck, and soon staining the ground red.

"The first."

Rong Ziqing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze fell in the direction of a certain place in the palace, and he approached in that direction unhurriedly.

Gradually.

The second.

The third.

Fourth ......

"The fifth." Rong Ziqing had a light smile on his face, and three words slowly came out between his lips and teeth.

However, the fourth princess couldn't hear what he was reading, and kept grabbing things in her hands and throwing them at him, her delicate face was full of panic: "Stop!" What are you going to do, this princess won't fight for any throne, you stop me!! ”

"Rong Ziqing, are you crazy?!!"

With a heart-rending shout, Rong Ziqing did not leave the second step for a long time when he stepped out in an orderly and unchaotic manner.

The fourth princess finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just when she thought she could finally live, she heard-

"Am I crazy? Perhaps, is there anything wrong with being a madman? ”

The fourth princess raised her head suddenly.

She condensed spiritual power in her hands, almost gritted her silver teeth and said angrily: "Okay! In that case, then don't blame Princess Ben for being unkind! ”

Under one blow, the momentum is huge.

When she landed on Rong Ziqing's body with one palm, but saw that he didn't dodge, the fourth princess was stunned, she raised her head, but saw that she couldn't read the emotions in Rong Ziqing's eyes, and let the spiritual power rage in his body, and the blood in his mouth kept flowing out.

"Why ......"

The fourth princess staggered back a few steps, and she suddenly realized that she had never understood this imperial brother.

Also, there is no intersection, isn't it normal not to understand.

"Being so merciful to the person who wants to kill you, the imperial sister is really beautiful and kind." Rong Ziqing didn't seem to care about his injuries at all, and he didn't mean to be angry at all about the fourth princess's shot, but instead blamed the fourth princess for being soft.

Rong Ziqing said: "You are the first to attack me so far, and the few in front of you have all been scared and weak, and they have even left behind that they can resist." ”

"Why?" The fourth princess shook her head, she didn't feel regret, but was really puzzled by what this imperial brother had done.

On the sword in Rong Ziqing's hand, a drop of blood gradually slid down the sharp tip of the sword and dripped to the ground.

"You want to know that? Or do you want to procrastinate and expect someone else to step up and save you? Rong Ziqing said with interest.

He raised the sword in his hand, but the man in front of him was not afraid.

"I know no one can stop you, the whole palace, it's all your people."

The fourth princess lowered her eyes.

She was horribly sober and knew she was in danger today.

Rong Ziqing must be tired of hearing the words of begging for mercy, and those people in front must have said more than one sentence, and it makes no difference if she has more than one sentence or less than her, but she still wants to know.

It turns out that before people die, do they want to die clearly?

A thought flashed through the fourth princess's heart, and she suddenly felt that it was very funny that she was now seeking to die clearly.

"The throne is yours, you are the will of the people, and the ministers of the court and the central government are all on your side and unanimously hope that you can become the emperor of Tanglin, and no one can compete with you for a long time, why do you bother to do this?!"

"I don't know about the others, but even if it's the eldest brother, he can't do it to your level...... As for the father. The fourth princess suddenly chuckled, she raised her eyes to look at him: "You don't care, do you want to kill him?" ”

"I can die, I can't beat you anyway."

The fourth princess took a step forward, she was already fearless enough to make such a bold and lifeless move, because she didn't have a bottom, she couldn't see through Rong Ziqing and didn't want to see through, but begging to die to understand was the last thing she wanted.

"But you're going to tell me, why?"

Three times why, you can see her persistence.

Rong Ziqing said disapprovingly: "Sister Huang, you know too much, and you die faster." ”

Say so.

In fact, the sword in his hand did not fall for a long time, which should not have been, because he had not hesitated once a few times before.

"Horizontal and vertical are dead, can I still live?" The fourth princess was very surprised, and then, she was amused by her words, and closed her eyes calmly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you say it or not, Donglin is a country that is rotten to the bones, from top to bottom, when the princess of this country is very tired, I don't know when I will be sold as goods, and I am happy to die, kill it!" ”

Obviously, he was still persistent at the last moment.

The next moment, I was relieved again.

Rong Ziqing's hand ached, and then he looked down and saw that he didn't know that he had accidentally made a cut in his hand holding the sword.

The fourth princess didn't wait for a long time to feel the pain, just when she opened her eyes in confusion.

"For some reason, you're a lot like her......"

"Why? Perhaps, I just want to see her again and repay the kindness of saving my life...... And, like you, this country is really hopeless, and the others are unreliable, so I have to go into battle myself! ”

She heard.

The young man in front of him whispered.

It seemed to solve her doubts, and it seemed to be telling him the person in his mouth, after all, he said something similar to the two.

The fourth princess didn't have time to speak, and suddenly, there was a violent suffocation all over her body!

She felt that her consciousness was slowly withdrawing, and she smiled bitterly in her heart, it turned out that this is what it is after death...... No wonder everyone wants to live, she ......

Consciousness completely plunged into darkness.

Rong Ziqing didn't stay here, he had stayed here for too long, for a long time, he would be suspected by that person, and he must not make a mistake when he was not yet suspicious.

After leaving.

This palace was completely silent, and none of the palace people who fell to the ground were spared, and the faces of the four princesses were the most decent of all, as if they were asleep.

Until noon, the sun was shining.

The smell of blood in the palace was not strong, and the palace people who lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at them carried the corpses one by one, originally these corpses should have been disposed of secretly, but the third prince who suddenly did such a big rebellious thing ...... Oh no, soon you can't call him the third prince anymore, you should call him the emperor.

In short, the new king's meaning was to have the corpses thrown into mass graves.

This trick can be described as ruthless to the extreme!

If it is dealt with secretly, it will be burned clean, but if it is thrown into a mass grave...... There are hungry and scrawny dogs, and soon these corpses will be torn everywhere, and they will not die with dignity and limbs!

Dare to resist?

No one dares anyway.

Now there is only one person left in the Tanglin royal family, and there is no doubt that the final emperor will be selected, and there is only one person to choose from!

Even the former emperor ......

Everyone thought that Rong Ziqing was a wolf's ambition this time, first creating an illusion to let everyone relax their vigilance, and then picking a sudden sneak attack on the easiest day to relax and caught everyone off guard.

This year's maple trees turned red exceptionally early.

Rong Ziqing sat alone under the tree, this is just a deserted and dilapidated place, to use a well-known word in the palace, it is the location of the cold palace.

Very few people come here.

Naturally, there are very few people who know that there is a red maple tree here that is at least more than 100 years old.

Everyone who saw it was deeply impressed, including Rong Ziqing, who accidentally broke into this place when he was young, and the unforgettable picture of red maple leaves flying in the wind amazed him to stay in place for a long time.

Of course, the beautiful scenery in his eyes has become a symbol of the soul in the eyes of others, saying that these red maple leaves are watered by the blood of the cold palace, so the color of the leaves is so gorgeous.

Except for the rustle of leaves, the world was silent.

"I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect it to come soon."

Rong Ziqing stopped wiping the sword in his hand, and sat here left and right in silence, he wanted to see how he was refracted by the sword body that was wiped as bright as a mirror, but after looking at it for a long time, the cloth in his hand was wiped again and again, but he didn't see the joy of the winner in these eyes.

Everybody said he should sit back and relax.

No one knew that he was terrified at night.

The person who came here was an old man, and if anyone saw it, they would know that it was Mrs. Ye.

"Taifu, do you think that my murderous intent is too heavy?" When Rong Ziqing asked this sentence, the smile on his face did not change without going straight into his eyes, he could read it personally, he had something to say, and he himself was very dissatisfied with this result.

Mrs. Ye carried one hand and a cane in the other, he was already old, sometimes he couldn't even straighten his back, and he never thought that he would be able to stand in this palace one day.

And all of this was given by one man.

There was no reproach or indignation on Mrs. Ye's old face, and he, like everyone else, didn't know what Rong Ziqing was doing this for.

"Your Highness has made the same decision as your father back then." Mrs. Ye didn't say much, even if she didn't know it in her heart, she knew it when she saw Rong Ziqing himself.

When it comes.

Mrs. Ye thought a lot.

For example, he was also old, and it was normal for his old eyes to be dizzy, so when he looked away, he felt that the young man in front of him was different from the emperor, and he was full of joy and emotion.

But he forgot.

One is a father and the other is a son, and it seems normal to be similar or even do the same thing.

There is no point in anger, just like the ministers who keep their mouths shut, what else can they do? Except for Rong Ziqing, there is not even an alternative!

Originally, there were still people who supported the eldest son, that is, the eldest prince, Rong Ziqing's merits were very high, but he couldn't get rid of his background no matter what he said, he was the seventh prince, far less noble than the eldest prince born to the queen.

Now, this kind of voice is gone, and it is this group of people who are most afraid of being settled by Rong Ziqing after the autumn.

"He is for his own selfish desires."

Rong Ziqing lowered his eyes.

"Your Highness, isn't you?" Mrs. Ye asked in a low voice.

Rong Ziqing didn't change, but said lightly: "Not all." ”

Just three words, I don't want to say more.

Mrs. Ye also had a number in her heart.

"The old minister is willing to believe that His Royal Highness can pretend to be the people of Tanglin Kingdom more than the previous emperor's heart, and that day His Royal Highness personally visited at night, and the minister saw that His Highness's words came from the bottom of his heart."

"The Tanglin Kingdom needs His Highness, and the old minister is here today on behalf of all the ministers of the court, and I beg His Highness to lead my Tanglin Kingdom to a prosperous and prosperous era!"

It was very impersonal to make an elderly courtier kneel.

But Rong Ziqing didn't care about this, he didn't even do it now, what else did he want? !

It's just a process.

These people.

What he wants is nothing more than for him to sit in that position openly, hoping that the people in the capital will see the good of the royal family, not that he will suddenly kill his father and brothers and sisters.

It turned out that year.

His father, the Emperor, had done the same.

The emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom has a thin line, he has never had a prince, and he has never heard rumors such as an imperial uncle when he is so old.

A group of people were erased from all traces, and no one mentioned it, not even the storytellers in the streets and alleys, as if an invisible hand was quietly manipulating, quietly obliterating, and no one could resist.

……

At this time, the night house.

In the study, the two were speechless.

Until Ye Junyi said: "I have investigated everyone in the Bai family, there is only one person, every time I find him, it is always not smooth, and most of the news I get is well known, and I can't go deep, because if I go deep, my people will definitely die." ”

The other party doesn't care that doing so will be exposed.

Or, deliberate exposure.

Bai Shiying said: "So you suspect my fourth uncle and think he is suspicious, because the past of the Ye family and the secret help behind the capital, you want to see him, I want to know if this is the case?" ”

"yes." Ye Junyi's face showed a touch of bitterness: "But when I stood in front of him, I realized that I was ridiculous, so I changed my purpose, I hope he doesn't interfere in what happens next, because if he doesn't want this matter to go in a certain direction, he will definitely be able to change it!" ”

"It's horrible......"

Ye Junyi let out Bai Shiying's heart.

So, she also showed an expression of 'look, you know I'm not alone'.

"You succeeded? He didn't appear again, maybe because the situation in the capital had reversed again, and he didn't need to make a move? Bai Shiying guessed.

Ye Junyi's expression was so weird: "That's it, I feel like I'm too stupid!" But...... Not really, our purpose is to hope that Rong Ziqing can smoothly become the emperor of this country, if Bai Yueze has the opposite purpose of ours......"

"Well, now that he hasn't made a move, will there be a possibility?" Bai Shiying's eyes shimmered slightly.

Ye Junyi looked at it unexpectedly and made a deaf look.

Bai Shiying pondered for a while and said, "His purpose is also to hope that Rong Ziqing will eventually become the emperor of this country?" ”

“？！！”

Ye Junyi didn't think about it, and directly subconsciously denied: "Impossible!" Didn't Ziqing fall into his hands and didn't even have a chance to turn over? Rong Ziqing is shrewd and ruthless, although it has become more and more strange in the past few years, and suddenly there will be many things that I have never seen him learn before, and sometimes he reminds me what to do to save ......"

Speaking of the back.

Ye Junyi's voice became quieter and quieter.

Bai Shiying consciously thought that she was deaf.

Then she shook the information of Qinglan Academy in her hand and changed the topic: "It said above that Qinglan Academy is expanding the number of people in the Alchemy Branch, this news should be true, I have heard it before, but it seems that Qinglan Academy is planning to let these freshmen participate in what assessment...... Well, there are other branches, and those who pass this assessment at the end can go-"

"What is this? Qualifications to go to the Upper Realm Secret Realm?! ”

Ye Junyi had to break free from his contemplation, his eyes regained clarity, and when he heard this, he nodded heavily: "See, Upper Realm, the word 'Upper Realm' here is not small, I think-it's a place outside the Xuanling Continent, right?" ”
