Chapter 277: Avoiding Its Edge
By now, the shadow that had nothing to do with this matter almost understood that it was a dispute within the royal family.
He glanced at the Seventh Princess, who was thinking about countermeasures, then looked at Lu Chengfeng, and said with a little curiosity: "Thanks to you for discovering them in advance, but, from such a distance, I don't think even a Saint-level powerhouse may not be able to sense their existence, right?"
Lu Chengfeng didn't answer him immediately, but smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's step back a little first and stay hidden." Because of the terrain, Lan Sihai shouldn't have discovered us yet. As for why I was able to spot them in advance, you'll find out later. ”
The four of them retreated as they were told, and not long after, they saw a huge golden-winged thunder eagle passing from high in the sky. After coming to the sky above them, Thunderhawk circled a few times and quickly pounced.
"It's it!"
The Seventh Princess had seen the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle before, but she was not impressed, and she didn't think of it for a while. Now, seeing this bird spread its wings and slid in front of Lu Chengfeng, she understood how Lu Chengfeng had discovered Lan Sihai.
"What is this?"
Because the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle is a ninth-order demonic beast, it is rarely domesticated, and this is the growth period in front of him, and he didn't find anything abnormal at the first glance. However, after a few more glances, he finally remembered the name of the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, and he had doubts in his heart.
Yue Mingxi's elder brother Yue Mingxuan, as well as her second uncle, are all golden-winged thunder eagles, so she has also heard of them. Seeing the look on Shadow's face, she nodded and confirmed, "As you think, it's the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle!"
"It really is!"
Brake Ying was taken aback, and couldn't help but look sideways at Lu Chengfeng. A sixth-order sword master was actually able to get a ninth-order flying demonic beast battle pet, and he was also a well-known thunder eagle. This ability is not ordinary. In his impression, many entrenched families may not be able to do this.
The Seventh Princess hadn't recognized the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle before, but she had heard of its name, which would be a bit of a surprise as well.
However, seeing the courage and intelligence of this golden-winged thunder eagle, she quickly thought of a solution: "Since it can fully understand what Mr. Lu meant, then we might as well bring a note back and ask Boken from the Afaria camp to bring someone to pick us up." I don't believe it, Lan Sihai and they really dare to fight and wipe out all the troops in the entire camp!"
This is undoubtedly a sound strategy.
With no certainty of Lan Sihai's intentions, it is not the best choice whether it is to delay or fight rashly. The proposal of the Seventh Princess, in Lu Chengfeng's opinion, was still very smart, enough to make Lan Sihai's plan self-defeating.
So, two minutes later, the Golden-winged Thunderhawk had an extra piece of tightly tied parchment on his feet. Under Lu Chengfeng's control, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle flapped its wings vigorously and quickly flew into the sky, turning into a black dot and disappearing from their field of vision. However, Lu Chengfeng can still rely on contact to observe the situation on the road. In order to minimize omissions, Lu Chengfeng also specially let the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle go around in a circle, bypassing Lan Sihai.
Such caution does not give the opponent any chance at all.
Everything went very smoothly.
Two hours later, Boken, the heavily armed third prince and the captain of the camp's garrison, personally rushed over with a large number of troops. Lan Sihai, who was waiting on the cliff rock, was very strange at first, and he didn't understand why the third prince personally led people out. But soon, when the troops of several hundred people circled back not long after, and the figure of the seventh princess appeared among them, Lan Sihai's face darkened, and he immediately guessed the truth.
Most of his ambush here was discovered. Moreover, the other party used some means that he did not understand to transmit the news back to the Affalia camp.
Now, things are in trouble.
Thinking of the anger and rebuke of that person after he returned, Lan Sihai couldn't help but have a headache. Although he was a ninth-order sword sect, no one would do anything to him easily, especially if there was no real evidence, but being remembered by a royal family was not a happy thing after all.
For a moment, he hesitated to continue looking for an opportunity. But in the end, he shook his head, disappeared into obscurity, and returned to Kaiyang alone before the seven princesses and them.
I just don't know what happened to the Fallen Spirit Clan.
.........
This question was also asked by the three princes after the seventh princess and Lu Chengfeng returned to the camp.
Although the specific situation was not written in the previous letter, Lan Sihai, who had set off with the Seventh Princess, was gone, and Mi Wei, who followed Lu Chengfeng, was also gone. Such a change gave the three princes some bad associations. And the result was just as they expected, even though they were close to success at one point, after the Fallen Spirit Clan's Elders' House decisively launched a rebellion, everything fell short!
Of course, Lan Sihai's matter involved royal infighting, and the Seventh Princess naturally didn't mention it. Mi Wei's affair with Brake Shadow is mainly related to Lu Chengfeng, and she is also a passing person.
After listening to the process in detail, the third prince frowned and said, "So, now I can only hope that the masters of the queen's faction can repel the rebels, or rush out of Andafdo City?"
said so, but even he didn't believe in these two results.
The seventh princess drank half a glass of water, moistened her lips, and then said, "In my opinion, although that queen is quite smart, she is not decisive enough. Under the pressure of the House of Elders, she has been a little hesitant, bent on avoiding civil war. In this case, the biggest possibility is that the queen's faction compromised. ”
"Compromise?" the third prince fell into deep thought.
The atmosphere in the room became a little oppressive. A few minutes later, the third prince made a decision and slowly spoke: "In this case, war may really not be far away. Once the House of Elders forces the queen to back down and dominate the power of the Spirit Clan, it will be launched immediately. I think this Afarian camp can be abandoned, and everyone outside the gate can be returned to the Elwin Line. Since those spirit people are determined to fight, we are not afraid, so let them attack the city at any cost. ”
As the nominal supreme leader of the camp, since the three princes made the decision, Boken and they quickly executed it.
Because I had already done a belly case before, the speed of packing, packing, and evacuation was very fast. Yue Mingxi was still hesitant to leave first and go back to report, but seeing that they were ready in half a day, she patiently stopped, planning to return to Kaiyang together.
It was also during this time that the third prince privately heard the full version from the seventh princess.
For these things, the three princes inevitably have to pay a little price. Of course, this is a tacit understanding between the two, and many times there is no need to make it clear at all.
Lan Sihai's suspicious betrayal, the mysterious spirit master who is suspected to be behind the scenes, the reappearance of the pretender, and the seemingly inconspicuous saint-level fighting god girl......
One piece of news after another, the three princes, who boasted of being firm in their hearts, were also shocked.
How to deal with the war of the Fallen Spirit Clan after returning home, and the possible recurrence of the Blood Moon Catastrophe without mentioning it, the third prince paid special attention to one point, that is, Lu Chengfeng. This sixth-order swordsman who doesn't seem to have any background actually has unimaginable strength, and he also has a ninth-order war pet like the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, and the girl who is traveling with him is even more of a saint-level!
It is even reported that he has an extremely close relationship with the Liu family in the southeastern province.
A Saint-level powerhouse already has a decisive power. If you add the support of the Liu family, as well as the possible hidden family behind me, Lu Chengfeng definitely has a very high value of wooing. Even if the Holy Rank disappeared temporarily in the royal city of the Fallen Spirit Clan, it did not affect the determination of the Three Princes in the slightest. The more times like this, the more you have to show favor to the other person.
Even if this intervention in the Fallen Spirit Clan War was not successful, just being able to get in touch with such a magical swordsman would be enough to protect the capital.
"You think so too?"
As if to see the third prince's plan clearly, the seventh princess stroked the broken hair in her ears and said, "That guy is indeed very unusual, I think I can't see through him." If you want to make a profit, you have to hurry. It won't be long before such a person soars to the sky. At that time, even if you want to extend an olive branch again, people may not care. ”
"I see. ”
The Third Prince nodded, falling into a brief contemplation.
Half an hour after this private conversation, the Afaria camp, which had made all preparations, began to evacuate in its entirety. The third prince only left two teams of five people, responsible for finding out the news of the Spirit Clan, and at the same time answering the few internal responses over there. The others, all of them, joined the vast convoy that stretched for miles.
Fearing that they might be attacked by the Fallen Spirits, the front and rear guards of the convoy were all hundred-strong soldiers, and there was also a small elite team protecting the wings. In the middle of the convoy were the few non-combatants of Afaria, as well as a group of powerful people such as the Three Princes.
As the nominal representative of the Apocalypse Sect, Lu Chengfeng was naturally invited over. Moreover, in the name of thanking Lu Chengfeng for his hard work in escorting his sister, the third prince insisted on inviting Lu Chengfeng to his Luan.
Because he was ordered to go to a border like Affalia, the car of the third prince was not luxurious. However, this is only relative. In fact, the inside of the carriage is blessed by space magic, and it looks very spacious, almost comparable to a study. Moreover, the carpets, magic lamps, and other decorations in the carriage are all fine. The incense in the carriage is an extremely precious benzoin, and just a small piece costs thousands of gold!
If you are not a powerful person, you may feel restrained and even restless when you suddenly enter such a place.
When the three princes came out like this, there was no doubt that they also had the meaning of observation. Needless to say, before Lu Chengfeng was reborn, he was the prince of the Tianfeng Empire. Although the Lanwu Empire is now one of the three major empires of mankind, the Heavenly Wind Empire back then dominated the continent. In the face of such an environment, Lu Chengfeng not only did not feel uncomfortable, but sat very comfortably and calmly opposite the third prince. Even, there was a faint look of nostalgia on his face.
