After retreating, Nangong Wang absentmindedly appeased a few cronies who had gathered over, and after a few words of pity in his eyes, he hurried back home. In the secret room, there was a white-faced, beardless young man standing, with a slender nose. The cheekbones are high, and they look so cold, so deep. He is Nangong Wang's unknown eldest son, Nangong De, that is, Dehai, the personal eunuch who killed Koro III. He entered the palace at the age of eleven, and it has been twenty-seven years so far, and these more than 20 years of companionship have developed his habit of being happy and angry.
After quietly listening to his father's angry explanation of what had happened in the morning, he said coldly: "Father, it seems that they are ready to do something to us. "As a confidant of Kolo III, he knew no less about the secrets of the court than his father.
Nangong looked at the head slightly, his eyes were slightly sad, for a politician, such an ending is sad. From the time Ling Huming proposed to marry him, he knew that the forces behind the empire had already chosen the object of cooperation, and he and his forces would become the stepping stone for the rise of this force. Although he had expected this qiē, when it really came, he still felt a little heavy and lonely in his heart.
"Then what should we do?" Nangong De said calmly. Compared with his two younger brothers, in terms of heart, he is more like Nangong Wang.
Nangong Wang paced back and forth indoors for a few steps, a palpitating gloom floating on the surface, and said slowly: "Carry out the second step plan." You go and call him. ”
After Nangong De lowered his head, he turned into the dark room next door, and soon, an almost identical "Nangong Wang" walked wide under his guidance, and his posture was the same as that of Zhennangong Wang. His name is Xu Qiang, and his extremely similar appearance to Nangong Wang is natural, without any magic change, and because of this, he was collected by Nangong Wang, trained as a dead soldier, and raised for thirty-nine years. In the past thirty-nine years, he has spent all his time learning Nangong Wang or pretending to be Nangong Wang. It can be said that he is the second Nangong Wang.
"Xiangye. Xu Qiang nodded slightly. Seeing that Nangong Wang does not salute, it is also a rule.
"From today on, you are me, and there is no Xu Qiang. Nangong Wang changed Xu Qiang's identity in just one sentence.
Xu Qiang understood what Xiangye meant, this time it was not a temporary dress-up, but a permanent replacement. He knew what that meant, but enough was enough for him. After nodding slightly, he opened the secret door and walked out. From now on. He is Nangong Wang. And who is the real Nangong Wang. For him, there is no need to know.
"What about the third brother?" Nangong De said in a low voice, he was very clear about his father's plan for the second step, and the only thing that was not arranged now was his unsuccessful younger brother.
"He's not your brother. Nangong Wang suddenly said something incomprehensible at this time. Gaze at the closed secret door. Said slowly: "He is Xu Qiang's son." ”
Nangong De instantly understood, and he had to admire his father's foresight at this moment. He guessed correctly, Nangong Wang thought of a way out decades ago, and asked Xu Qiang to pretend to be him and sleep with a concubine, giving birth to Nangong Peng, that is to say, Nangong Peng and Nangong Peng's son, Nangong Wuxian, actually had no blood relationship with him, but were just two chess pieces he laid out. It is used as a last resort to hide people's eyes and ears.
"Father, when are you leaving?" Nangong De said in a low voice.
When Nangong Wang heard this word, a touch of desolation rose between his eyebrows, and he said with some emotion: "Tonight." De'er, after the father is gone. The imperial capital will be handed over to you. ”
Nangong De said without any frustration: "Please rest assured that the child will definitely complete the task and wait for the father to return." ”
Return. Nangong Wang sighed gloomily, staring at Nangong De with a compassionate gaze, he was full of guilt for his own child. After pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice: "De'er, do you know why your father failed in the end?"
"Because the fox is desperate. Nangong De said coldly, and there was a terrifying and vicious light in his eyes. This is not to say how much hatred he has for Linghu, but because of his almost perverted psychology, he can't see any child of the family living nourished and living freely.
"Wrong. Nangong Wang said with such a haze and unyielding: "It's because my father doesn't have the strength himself, although my father has always thought that wisdom is the strongest, but wisdom also needs support, so in terms of cultivation, you must work hard." ”
Nangong De was firm, his talent was not bad, but he couldn't concentrate on cultivation because of his identity before. Up to now, he was only a candidate for the high rank, but he believed that with the elixir that his father had exchanged for from the strong people in those clans who left, he was confident that he would become a knight-level powerhouse within half a year.
"Alright, you go down and prepare. Nangong Wang said as he sat down on the chair behind the desk, he now had to think about what Zhong Lichao's compromise in the court was about.
Nangong De retreated, and Zhong Lichao, who was guessed by Nangong Wang, also returned to the mansion at this time, as soon as he entered the hall and took a seat, he changed color, and in anger, he swept the carved porcelain vase on the ground on the ground. The splashing porcelain pieces startled Xiao Yuanshan and Zhao Tianhe, who had just entered the door, these two people, since they were defeated by the Remnant Moon Clan in the Western Legion, came to the imperial capital and are now in charge of the temple. Because neither of them likes the court, although they are qualified to enter the palace, they have never been to the court.
Eyes lifted from the fragments of a place, the two glanced at each other, Xiao Yuanshan said with a little confusion: "Brother Zhongli, why are you doing this?"
Zhong Lichao, who was still angry, didn't dare to put up a fight in front of the two people above him in this realm, got up and sighed and said, "It's not for the sake of Ling Hu to kill this kid." ”
As soon as he mentioned Ling Huju, a wave of anger appeared in Zhao Tianhe's eyes, and he shouted at the foam: "What's wrong with this kid?"
"What's wrong?" Zhong Lichao smiled a little obscurely, turned his gaze to Xiao Yuanshan, and said sadly: "Brother Yuanshan, what's going on in the clan? That kid has killed a lot of our clansmen, but now it's good, as soon as he turns around, he becomes our own people." ”
Xiao Yuanshan's eyes were cold, he had also dealt with Linghu Jue in Cro City, he couldn't talk about hatred, but he also had no good feelings, and said calmly: "Why, you don't know? ”
"Lay down, Far Mountain, you speak lightly. Brother Zhongyuan died so tragically, and how rampant that kid was. If I let go like this, what will I face to see Brother Zhongyuan in the future? Zhao Tianhe's eyes protruded, and his teeth were like grinding down. When Chu Zhongyuan was alive, the two of them were at odds with each other, but this death made him feel a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Xiao Yuanshan was a little disdainful, but Zhao Tianhe was his elder no matter what he said, so he could only persuade in a low voice: "What if you don't put it down?" It is estimated that now, the three of us tied together are not Ling Hujue's opponents. "He's telling the truth, he's heard about the fall of several kings in the Remnant Moon Clan.
This sentence touched Zhong Lichao's pain. Compared to the attitude of the clan. This is what worries him. What kind of person is Linghu. He knew very well what he had done, and he knew very well, and he believed it. As long as one day, the two face each other, Linghu will definitely not let him go. Thinking about it, thinking about it, the stiffness in his chest almost squeezed his heart and lungs, and in the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled hoarsely: "I don't believe it, I can't deal with that kid." ”
Zhao Tianhe calmed down instead. Between his eyes, he smiled gloomily: "It's not impossible, didn't the clan let that kid enter the secret realm? We can't deal with him, there are people in the clan who can deal with him, and they hate him more than us." ”
Xiao Yuanshan was first flustered. Instantly woke up, immediately understood what he meant, and immediately said, "You mean the people of the Wu family?" In the Guangming Clan, there are only a few big families such as the Wu family who dare to fight against the Luo family now.
The corners of Zhao Tianhe's lips twitched, and he said viciously: "I don't dare to say anything about the rest of the Wu family, but Wu Hai's eldest brother Wu Yong is far away from the mountains, and you know that he is not afraid of things." I inquired, he has been in retreat these days, and he still doesn't know the news of his brother's death, if he knows that his most beloved little brother died at the hands of Ling Hu Jue, Ling Hu Jue still has a way to live?"
Seeing that Xiao Yuanshan was silent, he obviously acquiesced to Zhao Tianhe's statement. Zhong Lichao's spirit suddenly lifted, although he was a member of the Guangming Clan, he had never entered the secret realm, and the situation in the clan was only known through the Guò Temple, so Wu Yong's name was also the first time he heard of it, and he immediately said hotly: "Is that Wu Yong very powerful?"
After Zhao Tianhe smiled coldly, his voice was very vicious: "That's natural, before the retreat, he was a celestial-level demon king." It is a palace-level elite clan member of my clan. ”
When Zhong Lichao heard this, he laughed, but this laugh was a little bloody.
At this time, outside the mansion of the Linghu family, there was a long official sedan chair and carriage. Those officials and nobles who are not qualified to go to the court, whether it is the Linghu family or not, after learning about the changes in the court, as if they had discussed it, put up a line to squeeze at the door of the Linghu family's mansion, even if the guards guarding the door repeatedly emphasized that Marshal Linghu was not a guest, but they still couldn't disperse the crowd, for them, standing at the door also means showing loyalty.
And Ling Huming really didn't see the guests? No, in his study, there was an old friend who hadn't come to the door for a long time, Murong Ao. The two of them closed the door, not knowing what they were discussing?
Linghu Sheath, who had just returned from the barracks, paced back and forth outside the corridor not far away, occasionally casting his eyes on the closed door. He was now desperate to know, how was his marriage?
But at this time, the other half of Princess Colleen, who was in his mind, also received the news, and at the same time knew that Murong Yi, who was with Princess Colleen, was also a classmate, and they were both students of the Imperial Academy of Etiquette. This royal ceremonial academy does not teach magic or martial arts, and is a school dedicated to teaching etiquette to the children of the nobles of the empire. The schoolwork is not complicated, there are no grade certificates, and in general it is more like a private meeting place for the children of nobles.
The college is very beautiful, it is located near the palace, like a palace-like house surrounded by green willows, there are rockeries, there are small lakes, in front of the hall and behind the house, planted with dense spring wattle flowers, in this early spring season, rendering colorful colors. Along a tree-lined path, Colleen and Murong Yi walked side by side, followed by several palace maids, including the palace maid who had just arrived to report the news.
It may be the relationship between clothing and light, at this moment Colleen is not as graceful and noble as last night, a little more pretty, a little less mature, she frowned slightly, and walked forward silently, in fact, she has faintly realized that she is going to marry from the tone of the royal brother's casual chat a few days ago, and it is likely that she is going to marry. This is also one of the main reasons why she bothered to make people paint, but she didn't expect that the news that came today made the fox family ask for marriage was actually Ling Fox Sheath. For a while, the mood was low and complicated, which is not to say how much she has a good impression of Ling Hu Jue, and how much resistance she has to Ling Fox Sheath, but the sudden change, some of which make her uncomfortable, in fact. From the bottom of her heart, she did not reject Ling Fox Sheath, and even once, the handsome and heroic Ling Fox Sheath became the ideal lover in her dreams.
Murong Yi didn't know so much, but she also saw the faint loneliness between Colleen's eyebrows, she misunderstood, thinking that Colleen was thinking about the elusive son a few months ago, her lips pursed, and she comforted: "What are you thinking? Are you thinking about that weird person again?" He hadn't been seen in months. What do you want him to do? It's useless if you like it, you're a princess, how can you marry a mysterious person?"
Colleen was stunned, and Murong Yi's words reminded her of a vague figure. As Murong Yi said, she was really a weird person, she always appeared very suddenly, without saying a word, and after looking at her from a distance for a few times, she disappeared. She barely saw what that person looked like, but vaguely felt that that person was quite handsome, with a kind of outstanding, arrogant and natural temperament.
Smiling, she knew that Murong Yi had misunderstood. didn't explain, hung down the rows of thick and slightly curly eyelashes, and said depressedly: "Yi'er, if you marry, who are you willing to marry?"
"Me. Murong Yi's eyes brightened. A blush appeared on his cheeks, but he was forced to calm down, and said almost without hesitation: "Of course, I am married to Brother Linghu." ”
"Why?" Colleen said in a silky voice, she was one year older than Murong Yi, but she was a lot more mature, and she knew that a large part of Murong Yi's extreme affection for Ling Hu Jue was an innocent dream when she was a girl, and some part was blind worship, and there was still a distance from true love.
"Why. Murong Yi raised her head in a muttering voice, she was slightly shorter than Colleen, and she could only look up at each other. In his eyes, he was straightforward and calm, so innocent but contained a shuddering scorching heat, and said frankly: "There are so many reasons that I have forgotten them." Maybe he's too good, too perfect, but I just like him anyway. Speaking of this, seeing Colleen's dim gaze, she chuckled in her heart, and immediately changed her words: "The third brother is also very good, I think he is very compatible with you, don't you know? After saying that, she also made a grimace with her eyelids peeled.
At this time, Colleen laughed, slapped Murong Yi lightly, and said coquettishly: "You talk about your big brother Linghu every day, aren't you afraid that I will like it too?"
Murong Yi was a little cautious just now, thinking that he was seen through by Colleen, so he simply let it out, and snorted: "If you look at it, you will like it, if you say you don't like Brother Linghu, I still don't believe it." ”
"Then you're not afraid that I'll snatch your big brother Linghu?" Colleen said with her big beautiful eyes open, quite meaningful.
Murong Yige smiled, and after laughing, he sighed a little dazed and said: "Then you don't know Brother Linghu, did he say that you can grab it?" He is like the bright moon in the dark night, only if he is willing, he will cast a wisp of moon shadow, otherwise, anyone can only look up and watch from afar." ”
Colleen didn't expect Murong Yi to say such emotional words, she was stunned, and finally bowed slightly, and said with emotion: "Yes, there are some things that cannot be forced, since this is the case, you should cherish the person in front of you, are you right?" ”
Murong Yi thought that Colleen was just comforting herself, forced a smile, and said with a hazy gaze: "I will wait, wait for that moon shadow to fall, even if it is only for a short moment." At this point, she paused, turned her gaze and said, "Say, am I stupid?"
Colleen chuckled and shook her head, looking at Murong Yi, who showed a slight sadness and sadness in her eyes, her mood was much calmer, and she understood better what she wanted. Thinking of the obsessive eyes that made the fox sheath look at her last night, she suddenly felt that maybe such a man could be with her for a lifetime. I don't know if it's because of their discussions, but when night fell and the eagle horse landed with its wings, Ling Fox sneezed a few times. (To be continued)
