Chapter 23: Conspiracy on a Rainy Night (1)
There are three months of rainy season in the Southern Wilderness every year, in these three months, it rains almost every day, sometimes it is pouring heavy rain, sometimes it is a light rain, abundant rain, so that the vegetation of the Southern Wilderness grows rapidly, and the branches are luxuriant, but it is precisely because of this that in these three months, the various activities of the demon clan will also be temporarily stopped, and they use these three months to recuperate, reclaim the village, and replenish supplies.
Since the last martial arts competition, the demon king's health has been getting worse and worse, and the witch doctors of the demon clan are helpless, watching the demon king get thinner and thinner, and just a few days ago there was news from the demon king's palace, saying that the recent rainy season has aggravated the demon king's condition, and the demon king is afraid that he will ...... ,
With the arrival of the rainy season, this news spread throughout the demon clan, especially for those princes and magnates, this rainy season is destined to not be so peaceful.
In the dense forest on the west side of the Demon King Palace, there is a palace built on the ancient tree, the palace is magnificent, all are built by ancient trees, the whole palace has hundreds of large and small houses, and at the same time in the four corners of the palace in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively built four pavilions, also built and above the trees, the pavilions are exquisite, carved with all kinds of heroic stories of this family, the four pavilions are linked to the palace in the middle through the wooden bridge, the whole building is magnificent from a distance, not lost to the Demon King Palace.
This is the first big family of the demon clan - 'Ao family', that is, the son of the demon king, Ao Tian and Ao Guang's mother, Ao Lengshuang's mother, the Ao family has always been the most powerful of the six major families of the demon clan, mastering nearly one-third of the demon clan's troops, especially the overlord army and the iron-blooded army are the main elite of the demon clan, and once established a humvee for the demon clan, especially Ao Lengshuang married the demon king, and gave birth to two sons for the demon king, the status of the Ao family in the demon clan has been improved and consolidated, although after the loss of Ao Lengshuang ** , but no one can shake the status of the Ao family, and now to the Ao family, on the surface, there is Ao Tian presiding over the overall situation, but in fact, it is Ao Lengshuang who controls everything behind the scenes.
After learning the news of the demon king's serious illness, Ao Lengshuang immediately entered the palace to visit, only the demon king is allowed to live in the demon king's palace, unless the demon king summons or the demon king grants, no one else is allowed to stay for a long time, even the demon king's wife is the same, so Ao Lengshuang lives in the Ao family on weekdays.
It wasn't until late at night that Ao Lengxue returned to Ao's house from the Demon King Palace. As soon as she entered the door, Ao Lengxue saw that the eldest son Aotian's house was crowded, as if many people were inside, and Ao Lengxue suddenly wondered in her heart, "Who else is here on this big night? What is Ao Tian going to do?" Ao Lengxue walked towards Ao Tian's room.
As soon as she approached the door, she heard the voice of the four elders and the black ape inside, and Ao Lengshuang suddenly became nervous, in her opinion, the four elders of the black ape were insidious and vicious, every time she saw his cold black face, it made Ao Lengxue feel cold in her heart, but in the past year, for some reason, Ao Tian and the black ape suddenly came together, and the two often interacted in private, and the four elders were important ministers around the demon king, and it was naturally good for the family to be able to make friends with them, so Ao Lengshuang did not interfere too much. But recently, the demon king has been seriously ill, and this black ape is not waiting in the demon king's palace, but he ran here at night, presumably because he had some conspiracy with Aotian, which made Ao Lengshuang feel nervous.
Not long after she stood up, she was discovered by the black ape inside, and the two of them suddenly rushed out of it, and when they saw that it was Ao Lengshuang, they prayed to the house: "It's the head of the house who has returned." ”
Aotian hurriedly greeted her, "Mother is back, how is my father's health, come in" Aotian asked Aotian about Ao's visit to the Demon King Palace today, and let his mother into the room. Immediately all the people in the room stepped forward and saluted.
As soon as he entered the house, Ao Lengshuang looked around, Ao Guang and several Ao family members who held important positions in the army were there, and the black ape was still standing in the corner of the room with a cold face, the people in this room could be said to be the mainstay of the Ao family, and they all gathered together, and they must have discussed not ordinary things, and they were actually kept in the dark.
Ao Lengshuang stared straight at Ao Tian, with an angry look on his face: "You all gather here at night, what do you want to do behind my back?"
Hearing Ao Lengshuang's question, everyone didn't dare to answer, and Ao Tian hurriedly explained: "Mother, today's incident is not hidden from you, but it happened suddenly, so I hurriedly asked everyone to discuss." Ao Guang also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Yes, mother, it was Elder Wu who brought the news overnight, and I waited until we gathered here to discuss." Just wait for my mother to come back and make a decision. ”
After listening to the explanations of the two, Ao Lengshuang turned his gaze to the elder black ape in the corner, "Elder Wu, what kind of urgent news made you rush over overnight?"
The black ape in the corner, with only a pair of eyes emitting a cold gaze on his dark black face, slowly walked out of the corner: "Tell the queen, the demon king asked the god king and our four elders to discuss in the council hall a few days ago, and decided to let Qinglong succeed to the throne. ”
As soon as she heard this, Ao Lengshuang's face suddenly turned pale, and this news was like a shocking thunderstorm, which blew her up all at once, but after thinking about it, she felt wrong, "Didn't the demon king still be furious about Qinglong's refusal to accept the reward in the martial arts arena a few days ago, why did he pass the royal power to him in a blink of an eye, and since it was agreed on many days ago, why didn't I receive any news at all, and the demon king I just went to visit in the demon king's palace today, he didn't mention this matter to me." ”
"Queen, the demon king is angry with the nine sons Qinglong, but he sees that the princes and ministers look down on Qinglong, and they will not support him to pass the seat to Qinglong, so the demon king will lose his temper, that is angry with those princes and ministers, so the news of this succession was only told to the god king and us in the council room, just to prevent the news from leaking and causing trouble, and it is impossible to tell you in person, I also saw that the demon king was seriously ill, so I had the opportunity to tell Prince Aotian. Ao Lengshuang looked at the black ape's face, and this time slowly accepted this fact, the surprised expression on his face slowly disappeared, and was replaced by the depth in his eyes.
Aotian and Aoguang on the side saw that their mother didn't speak, as if they were thinking about something, Aoguang said impatiently: "Mother, what else do you want, the matter is already clear, my father has always been one of the green dragons, and the son born to a maid is going to override us nobles, isn't it a big joke, if he is really made a demon king, will our life be good!"
Everyone also agreed, in their eyes, Qinglong is just one more prince, in fact, it is no different from a pariah.
"Shut up for me!" Ao Lengshuang listened to everyone's words and suddenly became angry: "You are slandering a prince of the demon clan, do you know, what he says is also royalty, is it your turn to judge!" Ao Lengxue glared around angrily, and everyone closed their mouths.
