Chapter 116: The Desire for Power Kills the Heart
Chu Yunchuan really didn't expect that the matter here was so complicated that it was confusing.
The person who stole the Forbidden Book of Bliss did not have wings, which proves that the person who took advantage of the fire to rob was not from the elven race, and according to Yeqing, that person should still be in the royal city. After the theft of the royal city, it has been completely blocked, it is easy for outsiders to come in and difficult to get out, it is almost impossible to get out quietly under the alert of the whole city, otherwise, Chu Yunchuan and Bai Muxue would not have been targeted as soon as they appeared.
What puzzled Yeqing was that he had already sent someone to turn the royal city upside down, and he had not yet found out the whereabouts of that person, so he suspected that the treasure thief might have colluded with the royal family. If the thief is protected by a nobleman, it is undoubtedly more difficult to find him than to ascend to the sky, after all, there are some powerful places in the royal city, and the guards are not allowed to enter and search the city.
Chu Yunchuan asked: "It is commonplace to encounter obstacles in the investigation of cases, but why don't you tell your king about this? If you hold the royal decree, who would dare to stop it?"
"It's difficult!" Ye Qing sighed with emotion: "The battle of the royal family is definitely not something that a small character like us can intervene in. This matter involves Mo Mingjun, who is the king's revered teacher, under one man, above ten thousand, and is trusted in front of the throne, if he really breaks ground on his head, and the slightest mistake is made, I am afraid that my head will have to move. ”
"Mo Mingjun wants to rebel and seize the position?"
"Nope. Thinking of the royal family's sinkings and curses, Yeqing felt empathy, revealing a trace of eternal wound. He sighed helplessly, and said truthfully: "It's all a mother's fault...... This is a dusty past, imprinted on the mottled palace wall, and has been washed by wind and rain for a hundred years.
A king, a royal city, an indelible history.
Antecedents:
The king in question was called Getu, a name given to him by his father, and in the elven clan, these two words mean brave and fearless. Growing up, the young Getu did things that many people could not do in their lifetimes, such as when he suppressed the rebellion of the Giants, he once single-handedly broke into the rebel camp and angrily beheaded the rebel leader. At that time, he was just a young man, and the pair of powerful black wings on his back always glowed with a mysterious black light.
But this is just one of the indelible sensational deeds of his life.
The third day of succession to the throne.
When he ordered his biological mother to be expelled from the palace and sent to the Giant's Cemetery as a mausoleum keeper, it was destined that he would become the most controversial king in the history of the Youming Elf Clan! After all, the woman named Luo Yu had the grace of birth and nourishment for him, and Luo Yu was an elven nobleman who was a collection of beauty, wisdom, and strength, and was once known as the most perfect queen in the world.
However, the king did not hesitate to cut off the emotional line between mother and son.
In the next hundred years, the voices against the king behind him were always related to ruthlessness, disloyalty and unfilial piety, including Mo Mingjun, who taught him to spread his wings and fly, and even beat him with a scepter in court.
But, the king, has the heart and pride of the king.
As the king, Getu did not turn against Mo Mingjun, but he also refused to explain why he exiled his mother.
“...... A hundred years, not long, not short, the heavy and dead air of the cemetery can wear off the peerless elegance of Queen Luo, but it can't wipe out her unyielding willpower, on the contrary, the sinking in loneliness will only give birth to her anger and unwillingness, and gradually push her to the peak of sin. Seeing that Chu Yunchuan was silent, Yeqing further explained: "In the past hundred years, it seems that the wind and waves have been calm, but in fact, the undercurrent has been brewing, and she has been waiting for an opportunity to break out. ”
"So, you conclude that she did the slaughter of the palace?"
"That's right! All the evidence shows that the Tugong case is inseparable from Queen Luo, and Mo Mingjun is her protector. ”
"I think it's a bit weird. ”
"How's that going wrong?"
"She was the first living person I met when I came to Elysium, do you know what she looks like?"
"Yes. ”
"Then why didn't you recognize it that day? In the craftsman's shop, when you arrested me, the old woman standing next to me was the keeper of the Giant's Mausoleum, that is, the Queen Luo you said. ”
"No way, the noble and arrogant Queen Luo will never have a cunning gaze in her eyes! besides, Queen Luo is much more beautiful than that old woman. Seeing Chu Yunchuan frowning and silent, Yeqing said again: "If you want to know the truth, it's easy, as long as Lord Zhenzun accompanies me to Mofu, I will naturally know the authenticity of that Queen Luo." ”
"You make me think about it first......"
Regardless of whether the mausoleum keeper was the real Queen Luo or the fake Queen Luo, Chu Yunchuan's nerves tensed up at the thought that Bai Muxue might still be mixed with her, but, thinking about it on the other hand, this might be a good opportunity to follow the vine.
After thinking for a while, Chu Yunchuan said cautiously: "Don't startle the snake first, tomorrow first push a condemned prisoner out and behead it to show the public." ”
Ye Qing was secretly taken aback and said, "Zhenzun wants me to pretend to close the case and let them relax their vigilance?"
"Hmm. Chu Yunchuan nodded noncommittally and said frankly: "Before, I had the opportunity to cooperate with that old woman, but I don't know what she wants to do yet, and only by getting close to her can I really find out what she is." ”
"Hehe, Zhenzun is really good, much more clever than me who is hard. ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunchuan smiled lightly, and he was not sure whether this was a clever move.
Success or failure, only God knows.
Chu Yunchuan knows very well that old woman's scheming, she is by no means an idle person, if she wants to find a breakthrough from her, I am afraid it will not be as simple as imagined. However, the winding path leads to the secluded, it is much safer to do so than to break into the Mo Mansion, the master of the Mo Mansion dares to wave his staff to beat the king, if he angers that domineering, even if he has the aura of the Lord of Kunpeng on his head, Chu Yunchuan does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to retreat with his whole body.
"You bring me the spiritual spring holy water first, and I can't interfere until the curse of the ghost is lifted. ”
"Don't worry, this is on me. ”
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news. ”
In order to avoid the suspicion of the mausoleum keepers, Chu Yunchuan left the city patrol mansion alone, and then went to the craftsman shop, and learned that Bai Muxue had completed the elf transformation and left with the mausoleum keeper, but unfortunately, the young craftsman shop owner did not know where they went.
To the north of Wangcheng, there is a very prosperous elf hotel.
When Chu Yunchuan appeared at the door, an enthusiastic elf girl soon came out to greet him, and it turned out that the shrewd Lord Yeqing had already secretly sent someone to help him pay a large amount of expenses. Chu Yunchuan liked the elegant and simple style of this hotel very much, and he also liked the elf girl's meticulous and thoughtful service, but he felt that he needed to adjust his emotions, so he asked for the most quiet guest room, and drank the lonely wine like his former friend Kurosawa.
"Elysium Island, I originally thought that this was a pure land, but I never expected that reality and ideals are always very different. Chu Yunchuan was deeply touched by what he had seen and heard along the way, and felt that this world was very vulgar, it was simply vulgar to the bones!" "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." "This is the vulgar saying of those small mundane countries in the Red Dust World, and now, I think it is also applicable to the Elven King City.
The Immortal Martial Realm's Weak Flesh and the Strong Eat are unforgettable, and he once thought that that kind of naked killing had brought the indifference of the world to the peak realm; compared to Wang Cheng's power technique, Chu Yunchuan felt that that kind of killing might be a little more upright.
Xianwu only kills, and the desire for power is to punish the heart.
With the hand of darkness, obliterating the heart of light, between heaven and earth, there is nothing more helpless than this.
The king has the power of the whole world, and holds the power of life and death of the whole clan.
The woman who is unwilling to be exiled turns a hundred years of loneliness into a sword of anger and points straight at the palace.
If the person who slaughtered the palace is really her, who is right and wrong?
"Alas!" Chu Yunchuan couldn't help but sigh lightly and muttered, "I hope your grievances won't affect my plans." ”
