Chapter 16: Unrest in the royal family
"The border guards were ordered by one of my clan uncles to arrest me back." Ji Youcheng's eyes were gloomy, "Lao Wang, they were implicated by me, and they had to enter the spirit world in advance and go to the land of ruins." ”
"I stayed for a while because the fat man hadn't arrived yet, but I was accidentally discovered by the border guards, so I could only play hide and seek with them, and after finally getting rid of them in front, I found that the two of you were not in the agreed place, so I chased after them."
"By the way, when we encountered earlier, didn't I give you a signal to give you a car light signal and make you wait at the agreed place?"
Speaking of this, Ji Youcheng looked at the fat man and said strangely: "It's not only a few years have passed, and you forgot the signal, right?" ”
After listening to Ji Youcheng's explanation, the two good brothers who are gentlemen, you look at me, I look at you, and I am speechless.
And at this moment, a bright beam of light once again illuminated the night sky—
The faces of the three of them have changed, and it's not over yet?
"Let's go! While the border guards don't have time to pay attention to us, get out of here first! Ji Youcheng said in a low voice, turned around and got into the car first.
The fat man still wanted to get into the driver's seat, but Gu Jiancheng grabbed him and pushed Ji Youcheng's car.
"What did you do to make your clan uncle not hesitate to drive the border guards to arrest you?"
In the car, Gu Jiancheng asked, and Zhao Qianjun also said with gossip on his face that he hadn't heard of it in the circle before.
Ji Youcheng, who was in the driver's seat, glanced at the explosion in the rearview mirror.
"I stole the evil god seed he secretly bred."
"I was able to get rid of the border guards, and it was because I released the evil god seed and asked them to help wipe my ass."
He said it lightly, but Gu Jiancheng and the others plucked out their ears when they heard it, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.
"You heard it right, my clan uncle bred the evil god seed with his human life in the lower continent." Ji Youcheng said calmly.
“……”×2
After a short silence, Gu Jiancheng said, "Do you know about my senior brother Heath Arthur becoming a member of the stars?" ”
"It went crazy overnight, so I naturally knew." Ji Youcheng looked at him strangely and said, "I also know that there are many people who don't want your senior brother to return to the empire, including my clan uncle. ”
"The situation is worse than you think, the civil war has begun, involving the five lords and twelve families of the empire, and this time the cause is the unrest in the royal family." Zhao Qianjun added on the side.
"That's what I wondered, shouldn't the royal family be the staunchest supporters of the stars? Why would you do such a forbidden thing as giving birth to the seed of an evil god with human life? Gu Jiancheng frowned.
Since the establishment of the Stars Territory, the greatest disputes have always come from the gods, and the dispute between order and chaos has always been one of the greater sources.
In order to ease the conflict as much as possible, in the end, the Council of the Great decided to divide the territory according to the divine system, and all parties adapted to local conditions.
The stars are naturally the side of order, and within their territory, the seed of the evil god is naturally a taboo among the taboos.
glanced at Ji Youcheng and saw that he was not ready to speak, Zhao Qianjun said slowly: "You should have heard of the relevant conditions of the Stars Path, right?" ”
Gu Jiancheng nodded.
This great man was a "maverick", he never accepted any faith, and his teachings were so special that most people could not reach them.
It was not so much a way as a reward for the world.
The road to the stars does not focus on talent, does not look at birth, only looks at words and deeds.
Those who embark on this path either have a "Heroic Heart" or perform a "Heroic Action".
Legend has it that those great achievements that are enough to imprint the long river of time are the anchors that keep the [stars] from falling.
"It has been a hundred years since the royal family gave birth to a transcendent person who truly walks on the path of the stars."
Zhao Qianjun shrugged and said,
"This is a fatal blow to the royal family that founded the country in the name of the stars, and it has affected the foundation of the royal family."
"Humans are strange creatures, sometimes they don't want to admit that it's their own mistake when they die, but they all blame it on others, even if they are gods."
Zhao Qianjun paused and continued: "In the eyes of some people, the appearance of Hiss is not a blessing for the empire, but a disaster for the royal family. ”
Gu Jiancheng was puzzled: "For the empire, my senior brother has become a star guide, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
"Naturally, it's a good thing!"
This time it was not Zhao Qianjun who answered him, but Ji Youcheng.
He said in an unusually firm tone: "Your senior brother has become the Dao Marker of the Stars, and in ten years, the Empire will be able to return to the top of the Stars, and then countless people of the Empire will be blessed with it." ”
"Then why is it a scourge for the royal family?"
Seeing Ji Youcheng take over the conversation, the fat man smiled and waited for Ji Youcheng to answer.
After a long time, Ji Youcheng exhaled and said slowly: "The luck of the empire is no longer the luck of the royal family, and the luck of the royal family may not be the luck of the empire." In recent years, the decline of the royal family has been fully revealed, and some people are unwilling to do this, vainly trying to disobey the ancestral teachings and embark on the road of becoming gods. ”
"Which path to the gods?!"
Gu Jiancheng's pupils shrank suddenly, this was the first time he had heard of such a terrifying secret.
"They are not unanimous within themselves, and they are prepared to follow the traditional path of faith, in a vain attempt to make the whole empire believe in them." Ji Youcheng said calmly, "There are also those who have embarked on the evil path, my clan uncle is, I can find out that he is breeding the seed of the evil god, and it is also fate, and it is too late, I can't say that he will really succeed." ”
"No matter what kind of approach it is, it has betrayed the ancestral teachings of the royal family, and if the name is not justified, the five valves and twelve families will naturally intervene."
"In fact, there has been a delicate balance within the empire before, and the royal family knows that this matter can only be slowly figured out, but the appearance of your senior brother has broken this balance."
Listening to the whispered conversation between the fat man and Ji Lao Wu, Gu Jiancheng said, "So, the royal family is ready to betray the star camp?" Aren't you afraid of destroying the country? ”
The difference between camps is that you can enter if you want to enter, and you can get out if you want.
Even if the stars don't count, the other imperial forces that are also in the stars camp will be liquidated.
"Even the evil god seed is contaminated, do you think he is not crazy yet?" Ji Youcheng asked in a deep voice, "The rest of the factions are still sensible, but my clan uncle has completely devoted himself to [desecrating the church]!" ”
"This clan uncle you've been talking about...... Who is in the royal family? The fat man hesitated, "It can't be the king of Dingbei who can drive the border guards, right?" ”
Gu Jiancheng's heart shook.
King Dingbei is the only person in the imperial military department who has the qualifications and strength to compete with Ji Shi, and there is no shortage of gate lord families behind him.
In the past, the king of Dingbei, who pacified the rebellion of the eternal night in the northern territory of the empire in the first war, threw himself into the [desecration of the church] and gave birth to the seed of evil gods in the lower continent with human life?!
This is enough to stir up the empire!
Ji Youcheng nodded lightly: "It's him." ”
The fat man rubbed his hands, and said with some expectation: "Okay, well, as long as Hiss arrives in the imperial capital and enters the Star Gate, and the stars watch down, the fall of King Dingbei is certain!" ”
Ji Youcheng shook his head in disagreement and said, "It's not that simple, we have no evidence to prove that he is breeding the seed of the evil god." ”
"What?" The fat man frowned and said, "Didn't you find out and steal it?" ”
Ji Lao Wu spread his hands and said: "In order to get rid of the border guards, and in order to use their hands to strangle that evil god seed in advance, I have already found a way to throw it out." ”
The fat man silently looked back at the main cannon beam that was still falling, and couldn't help but ask:
"What the hell is that, and it's not going to be scum?"
As if recalling a bad memory, Ji Laowu's face sank, he licked his dry lips, and said astringently:
"To be honest, I regret it a little now, when I found out, the Evil God Seed had not yet been fully conceived, and my actions were equivalent to letting it incarnate in an incomplete state in advance, but its completion was still beyond my expectations, if the border guards couldn't solve it...... If it drags on for a long time, it will turn into a big nuisance. ”
Several people looked at each other.
"Ask him what the evil god seed he found looks like."
The girl who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.
Gu Jiancheng hesitated, and then asked this question.
"An apple, an apple!" Ji Lao Wu replied, "On the 'fruit tree' formed by the accumulation of countless corpses, that apple is condensed!" ”
