Poor Hongyan always has a thin life, and she is the most ruthless emperor's family! This Ji Xuan didn't believe that the second brother who used to love and care for her would kill her mercilessly. This is also the first time Shui Hao has seen the weakness of the royal family's humanity.

Of course, the one who is most unaccustomed to these is Twilight, he looks at Ji Ru in the distance with hatred, and the disdain in his eyes is extremely obvious.

"Brother, this Ji Ru is too cold-blooded and ruthless. That's his own sister, and he even did it, let's not be with him!"

Shui Hao bowed his head and was silent, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. He didn't go to Ji Ru with Shui Hongze, because he had the same thoughts as Twilight.

Thinking about it, Shui Hongze also saw through his thoughts, so he didn't force it.

"Family affection is not worth mentioning at all in front of royal power. Qingqiu Zeguo has existed for thousands of years, during which the throne was replaced, and it was not uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other and brothers to kill each other. Shui Hanquan shook his head and sighed lightly.

Shui Lan'er fell sullenly behind, although she was rude, but she was simple-minded, and she was also unaccustomed to what Ji Ru did.

This Ji Ru never expected that his move would make Shui Hao and everyone disgusted at the same time.

"Is the royal power really so good? I really don't know what they are for?" Shui Lan'er muttered to herself blankly, she felt worthless for Ji Xuan.

"It's to live. ”

The faint voice suddenly sounded from behind him, like a sad sigh!

When everyone looked back, they saw a young man in white standing far behind him, with a very complicated expression.

"So it's you!" Twilight raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at the young man in white.

The person who came was the third prince Ji Wu, who hurried back to the royal city from Chaoyang Valley to redeploy, but he didn't want to see this scene.

"Tu Shanshuihao, I didn't expect us to meet so soon. Ji Wu sighed abruptly, with a thick exhaustion in his voice.

"You've arrived early?"

"It has come from the time when you have a dispute. ”

"Why don't you stop it?"

"Stop what? Stop Ji Xuan from activating the royal blood order? I didn't expect that she would have a jade ring in her hand, let alone that stupid woman would activate the blood order. ”

"I'm afraid I won't stop it if I think about it!"

"Not bad. Ji Xuan's stimulation of the blood order will only be good for me, why should I stop it!"

Shui Hao and Ji Wu asked and answered, their tones were calm and their expressions were natural, as if they had been friends for many years.

"The Tao is different, and I don't think it's a plan. Let's go!" Shui Hao snorted coldly and walked towards the city gate.

The tall gate of Chaoge City is more than ten meters long, and the width is also more than ten meters, which is enough for eight horsemen to ride in parallel. There are also two side gates next to it, which are slightly smaller than the main gate, but also several meters wide. The main door is closed, and the left and right side doors are wide open.

"Brother Shui Hao didn't see anything?" Shui Hanquan asked with a smile in a narrow voice.

Shui Hao was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were puzzled.

I saw that the side door on the left side was wide open, and the long line was moving forward in an orderly manner, and the soldiers guarding the door strictly checked the packages and goods, and levied the corresponding shellfish according to their quantity.

The side door on the right side is also open, but only occasionally people pass through it. Strangely, the soldiers guarding the gate did not check it, and even nodded their heads.

The look of doubt in Shui Hao's eyes was even stronger, and he didn't understand the difference between the left and right side doors.

"You feel the breath on the pedestrians on both sides!" Shui Hanquan reminded.

Shui Hao held his breath and stared, and the doubt in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Civilians on the left, lawmakers on the right!"

"Haha...... Brother Shui Hao, you finally noticed it. Shui Hanquan said loudly, "The Dharma Practitioners have a high status in the Shenze Continent, and they do not need to pay shell coins to enter any city, this is the iron law of the continent. ”

"Why did the soldiers stop me then?" asked Twilight.

"Civilians have access to civilians, and the Dharma have access to the Dharma. You must have accidentally walked into the ranks of civilians. ”

Twilight reached out and scratched her head, nodding yes. Everyone didn't realize it, and there was infinite pride in their hearts, sighing at the transcendent status of the Fa.

Walking into the Chaoge City, everyone's eyes lit up.

The castle is extremely prosperous, and all the streets are paved with bluestone. The streets are lined with pedestrians and lined with shops.

From time to time, the crowd was mixed with the shouts of hawkers, and all kinds of food were dazzling.

"Brother, I want to eat that!" Twilight pointed to a nearby place to eat, and saliva quietly trickled out of the corners of her mouth.

Shui Hao was dumbfounded, but he was relieved when he thought that Twilight Chi Kankan was only sixteen years old.

"Twilight, call sister. I'll buy it for you!" Shui Lan'er reached out and took out a handful of shellfish coins from her arms, winking playfully at Twilight.

"Sister!" exclaimed Twilight, without hesitation.

Shui Hao held his forehead with one hand, looking at the sky speechlessly, and Shui Hanquan laughed wildly.

Everyone kept moving forward, and Twilight followed behind Shui Lan'er, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she held all kinds of food in her arms.

The footsteps of the water cold spring suddenly stopped, and he stopped in front of a small wooden building.

"Brother Shui Hao, let's settle down in this place. ”

Shui Hao couldn't help but look up.

The wooden building has three floors, and the whole body is antique. The eaves of the building are turned up like spreading their wings and want to fly, and there is a plaque "Red Pig House" hanging under the eaves of the open Xuan.

"Red Pig Residence!Shui Yi Industry?" Shui Hao was stunned at first, and then suddenly.

"Yes, this is our own industry. The Great Elder has instructed that the resources of the Water Clan in Chaoge City can be mobilized as you wish. Shui Hanquan said in a solemn voice with a straight face.

Among the three ancient families in Yingshui Village, the Shui family and the Hu family have been operating in Chaoge City for hundreds of years, and the industry is all over the place. There is also only the Tushan clan living in Qingqiu, and it is rarely involved in Chaoge City.

Chi Pig House, located in the most lively street of Chaoge City, has excellent terrain. The four of them sat at a small table by the window, looking down at the scenery at a glance.

Shui Hanquan called the shopkeeper and Shui Hao to introduce them one by one, and ordered Xiao Er to order a few side dishes.

"Brother Shui Hao, what are your plans next?"

Shui Hao's brows were furrowed, and his expression was slightly gloomy. Yue was trapped in the Lock Spirit Tower, and he could only rely on the battle between the three princes to win the heir, but he really didn't like Ji Ru.

Seeing Shui Hao bowing his head and pondering, Shui Hanquan couldn't help but shake his head and smile, but he didn't speak. After a few days of getting along, he knew that Shui Hao was jealous and hateful, and he must not want to associate with Ji Ru.

After a long time, he saw that Shui Hao was still silent, so he couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "The Great Elder once explained that everything is based on you. As for Ji Ru, you don't have to worry too much. We don't care much about the slightest chance in the Locking Spirit Tower. This time, I will do my best to help you rescue the ancestors of the Red Pig Clan and lift the curse. As for the second elder who went to Ji Ru, it was just to appease him temporarily, just in case of emergency. ”

Shui Hao was stunned at first when he heard this, and then asked without giving up: "Brother Hanquan, can you really only rely on the battle for succession to enter the Lock Spirit Tower?"

"Yes, there is no other way. The Wangcheng Lock Spirit Pagoda is like a winged tower, which can only be opened by the direct bloodline in a special way, and once the Dharma enters it, the spiritual power will be banned, just like ordinary people. ”

"Brother Hanquan, how is the character of the eldest prince Ji Xian?" Shui Hao asked again.

"You want to help Ji Hyun win the throne?"

"Yes, I really hate Ji Ru, as for Ji Wu, although he doesn't hate it so much, but because of the incident in Chaoyang Valley, he doesn't have a good feeling. ”

Shui Hanquan sighed in his heart, feeling worthless for Ji Ru. If Ji Xuan hadn't jumped out to stir up trouble, his battle for the heir would have been unprecedentedly smooth;

"Since you have made it clear, we will not let Ji Ru ascend to the throne, but it is absolutely impossible to assist the eldest prince!"

Shui Hao was shocked but didn't say anything, he knew that Shui Hanquan would definitely tell the reason.

"The most influential in Qingqiu Zeguo is our Yingshui three clans and Chaoyang Valley. The Tu Shan clan has always been in a dispute with the world and has never participated in the struggle for the throne. For hundreds of years, it has been our water clan, and the Hu family and the Wu clan have each supported a prince. ”

"How is that possible?" Shui Hao was shocked and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the repeated successions of thrones have been made by three princes. ”

"Yes, every king has three sons, no more, no less!"

Not to mention Shui Hao's surprise in this matter, even as a prince, he didn't know the reason. For hundreds of years, no matter what method was used to explore the cause, it was in vain.

I only heard Shui Hanquan continue: "Not only is the number of princes fixed, but even the families and Dharma practitioners involved in the battle for succession also have absolute requirements, and that is balance!"

"Balance?" Shui Hao raised his head and looked at Shui Hanquan in confusion.

"The so-called balance refers to the power behind the prince, and there is no limit to the strength of the prince himself.

If our clan supports the eldest prince instead, the second prince Ji Ru will not have a decent force behind him, which the king will not allow. ”

Shui Hanquan got up, paced to the window, looked at the endless crowd outside the window, and said abruptly: "On the one hand, the king and the nine-tailed heavenly fox asked for the balance of power behind each prince, and on the other hand, they did everything possible to make all parties do their best, so they placed something in the lock spirit tower that none of our three clans could refuse. ”

"What is it?"

"I don't know. Shui Hanquan's words changed, "However, this time is different from the previous ones, a few months ago, the Qingqiu Hu family and the ancestor of the Tushan clan fell one after another, and my Shui clan became the strongest force in the entire Qingqiu Ze country. Although Chaoyang Valley is barely on par with our three clans, after our trouble, the strength of its clan has suffered serious losses, and it is no longer competent to compete for succession. ”

Shui Hanquan looked at Shui Hao with burning eyes, and his eyes were amazingly bright.

"Brother Shui Hao, you represent the birth of the Tu Shan clan, but you can only choose one of the second prince and the third prince, and we will support each other. But no matter who they win in the end, we can all enter the Locking Spirit Tower. Moreover, our two clans are secretly allied, and the probability of the eldest prince winning is very small. ”

Shui Hao couldn't help but fall silent. Everyone glanced at each other, but none of them made a sound to disturb Shui Hao.

At this moment, an indescribable look appeared on Shui Lan'er's face. In just a few months, it was like being in a dream. She either heard or saw with her own eyes that the young man had gone from being spurned by everyone in the clan to now being able to influence the change of the throne.
