Although Duan Chen guessed the answer, he was not happy at all.

If something happens to the king of Shang at this juncture, no matter what happens, it is not a good thing for them.

But he still patiently explained: "With your identity as Qin Daoyou, you can't see the King of Shang yet, then there are only three possibilities. ”

One possibility is that the king of Shang was in retreat and had no time to meet him. Another possibility is that the King of Shang is not in the Shang Capital, but the King of Shang, as the lord of a dynasty, will not leave the Shang Capital easily, and even if he leaves, a month is enough for the King of Shang to rush back from other places, but Qin Daoyou, you have not seen the King of Shang in the past month, so there is only one last possibility. ”

His voice paused slightly, and Duan Chen's tone was firm: "If what I expected is right, King Shang should have been seriously injured because of something, and he is still unconscious until now, so he can't meet Qin Daoyou." ”

Qin Huaiyue looked at Duan Chen with a surprised expression, and asked in a strange voice, "Duan Daoyou, to be honest, did you already know about this?"

The old woman was also a little surprised, but Nangong Yao looked at Duan Chen with admiration.

Duan Chen shook his head and smiled: "I didn't know in advance, but when I entered the city, Xu Duwei, who was guarding the city gate, once said that in recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered to strengthen the city defense, but as far as I know, the city defense of the Shang capital has always been under the responsibility of the forbidden army, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great power, he should not have the right to command the forbidden army, unless something happens to the King of Shang, it will be His Royal Highness the Prince's turn to act as the court and other affairs." ”

Qin Huaiyue couldn't help nodding, but still exclaimed with an exclamation on her face: "Even so, Duan Daoyou, you can guess that King Shang is seriously injured and unconscious, which is still admirable." ”

Duan Chen shook his head, and then asked, "Please also ask Qin Daoyou to make it clear, why was King Shang so seriously injured that he was unconscious until now?"

Qin Huaiyue sighed lightly: "That happened more than a month ago, the King of Shang felt that the war of the Five Dynasties would eventually affect the Southern Barbarians, so he wanted to gather the power of the dynasty to capture a Jindan demon beast and domesticate it before the war came." ”

"It is said that there are more than a dozen false Dan monks gathered for this matter alone, and as for the foundation building monks, there are more than 100 people. ”

"However, even with such a large lineup, it is still vulnerable when facing the Jindan Demon Beast. ”

"In the end, all the Zhuji monks who participated in the hunting of Jindan demon beasts suffered heavy losses, more than half of the casualties, and even more than ten fake Dan monks also fell as many as four or five people, and the king of Shang himself was seriously injured because of this, and he did not wake up until this moment. ”

Duan Chen's face changed slightly, but then he reacted immediately, and said with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "Although I have never seen the King of Shang, I have also heard that the King of Shang is a Ming Jun, with the wisdom of the King of Shang, he should have measured the strength of the Jindan Demon Beast, why did he fail to capture the Jindan Demon Beast this time? Even if he fails, he should not suffer such a heavy loss." ”

Qin Huaiyue shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this matter, but it is said that the Jindan demon beast that King Shang wants to capture is a golden pupil biao who has just given birth to a young beast and has suffered a great loss in strength. ”

Duan Chen's heart moved: "Could it be that the head of the family is also the head of the family."

Participated in the capture of Jin Tongbiao, so he was injured and had to retreat to recuperate?"

Qin Huaiyue nodded and said, "Yes, but his injuries shouldn't be too serious, and he should be able to get out of the customs in a few days." It's just that the crux of the matter now is that the king of Shang is still unconscious, and if he doesn't wake up for a day, the alliance will not be able to go smoothly. ”

Nangong Yao sat on the side and listened, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Huaiyue, can't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be the master of the alliance?"

Qin Huaiyue's eyes showed a hint of solemnity and said: "Although my cousin is now in charge of acting as the government minister, I really don't know whether he has the power to call the shots, but I have been in contact with him many times, and he himself does not seem to be willing to form an alliance with our Great Qin Dynasty." ”

Duan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this? Isn't he on a bad relationship with you or your mother?"

Qin Huaiyue shook her head slightly, first raised her hand to create a soundproof barrier, and then continued: "The situation is just the opposite, the current Queen of the Great Shang used to be my mother's best friend, plus the relationship between my mother and the King of Shang, so my relationship with my cousin has been very good since I was a child. ”

"And every time I come back to visit relatives in the Great Shang Dynasty, my cousin treats me very well, but this time, I feel that there seems to be some changes in his personality, and I suspect that he is very likely to have contact with the Demon God Society in private, so he is reluctant to form an alliance with our Great Qin Dynasty. ”

Nangong Yao couldn't help but let out an exclamation when she heard this.

Duan Chen seemed very calm, in his opinion, the four major dynasties wanted to attract the thirteen dynasties of the Southern Barbarians to join their camp, as long as the demon god would not be stupid, they would naturally get in the way, so he was not surprised that the demon god would contact this prince in private.

He was more concerned about the extent to which the Demon God Society had infiltrated the Great Shang Dynasty, and whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had secretly joined the Demon God Society.

Thinking of this, Duan Chen immediately asked, "Qin Daoyou may be sure if your cousin has become a demon cultivator?"

Qin Huaiyue shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this for the time being, but I feel that even if he is not a demon cultivator, he should soon become a demon cultivator." ”

At this time, I only heard Nangong Yao exclaim: "Sister Huaiyue, if he has joined the Demon God Society and become a demon cultivator, wouldn't the Shang King be in danger at this moment?"

Qin Huaiyue couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "You can rest assured about this, no matter whether my cousin has joined the Demon God Society or not, he will definitely not be able to hurt a single hair of the Shang King." ”

Nangong Yao looked puzzled: "Why is this?"

Duan Chen asked with a stir in his heart, "But is it because of the Son of Heaven Longwei?"

Qin Huaiyue nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, there will be a group of powerful Heavenly Son Dragon Guards around the Great Shang Kings in the past dynasties, although I don't know why the Shang King didn't bring these Heavenly Son Dragon Guards when he captured Jin Tongbiao last time, but in the Great Shang Palace, there are these Heavenly Son Dragon Guards guarding them, even if they are Jindan monks, it is difficult to hurt a single hair of the Shang King." ”

Nangong Yao said with a look of disbelief: "Is Long Wei so powerful these days?"

Qin Huaiyue said: "Relying on this group of Heavenly Son Longwei alone, it is naturally impossible to resist the Jindan monks, but there are formations left by the Jindan monks of the past dynasties in the palace of the Great Shang King, if they are supplemented by these formations, they can naturally still fight against the Jindan monks." ”

At this point, she abruptly

Ran sighed and said: "It's just that the king of Shang will be unconscious for a day, and my cousin will continue to act as the government of the court. ”

Duan Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how serious the injury of King Shang is, is there any hope for a cure?"

Qin Huaiyue shook his head and said: "I don't know how serious it is, but I represent the Great Qin Dynasty to negotiate an alliance with the Great Shang this time, and one of the gifts I brought with me is a Nine Turns Returning Yuan Dan, as long as I see the King of Shang and let him take this Nine Turns Returning Yuan Pill, I believe that I will be able to heal the injuries in his body and make him wake up again." ”

"But my cousin is now in charge of the government and the court, so I'm afraid he won't let me enter the palace to see the king of Shang easily. ”

Duan Chen frowned and said, "Isn't there any way to bypass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and enter the palace to face the saint?

Qin Huaiyue shook her head and said, "I can't even see her now." ”

Duan Chen's heart sank when he heard this.

At this time, I only heard Nangong Yao say impatiently: "This is not good, that is not good, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to rebel?"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Qin Huaiyue's face changed slightly, and she said, "This shouldn't be possible, right?"

Duan Chen's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "This is really not impossible. ”

After a slight pause, he opened his mouth and asked, "Qin Daoyou, I don't know how old your cousin is this year?"

Qin Huaiyue didn't know why, and muttered: "If I'm not mistaken, he should be nine out of twenty this year." ”

Duan Chen said in a low voice: "It is said that a man stands at thirty, he is already twenty-nine years old, and the calculation time is about the same." And as far as I know, the King of Shang is only sixty years old this year, right? If he abdicates normally to make way for Xian, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have to wait for at least another hundred years, and if the King of Shang can break through to the realm of Jindan, I am afraid that the longevity will be longer than that of His Royal Highness the Prince, who wants to be the prince for a lifetime?"

Qin Huaiyue was still a little incredulous, and said, "But King Shang is his biological father!"

Duan Chen shook his head and said: "In all dynasties, although it is not common to kill your father and rebel like this, it is not impossible, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has no intention of rebellion, how can he refuse to let you enter the palace to face the saint?

Qin Huaiyue was speechless when Duan Chen asked her, while the old woman standing behind her fell silent from the beginning, as if she was thinking about the possibility of all this.

Nangong Yao asked with some confusion at this time: "You have been talking for a long time, what is the surname of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Duan Chen looked at her helplessly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Shang Dynasty is naturally surnamed Shang, and his single name is an autumn character. ”

Nangong Yao said: "Then this Shang Qiu you are talking about, does he really have such a great ability to succeed in rebellion?"

Duan Chen was shocked in his heart, and suddenly figured out something, and then glanced at Nangong Yao with some strange eyes: "Of course he doesn't have such a great ability, but if there is a demon god who will give him advice behind his back, then he may not be able to succeed in rebellion." ”

Nangong Yao suddenly realized, while Qin Huaiyue and the old woman sank in their hearts.
