Chapter 17: The Emperor's Brother
When Lu Hou and the three of them reappeared, it was already a few days later, stepping on the streets of Fengguo Liangcheng, and walking all the way towards Chunxiang Pavilion.
As usual, the three of them ordered a lot of meals on the first floor. Beihe and Modu began to eat like a whirlwind.
On the first floor of Chunxiang Pavilion, many diners are still noisy and extremely lively.
And I can still hear a lot of diners, still talking about the fact that Galeries Lafayette was dying of his fist some time ago, after so long, this matter is still fermenting, and the excitement has not decreased much.
However, I believe that in some time, the death of the old Taoist priest on Nanqiu Mountain will sweep through the entire Fengguo like a wave of frenzy, and the object of everyone's talk at that time will no longer be Lafayette.
But in Beihe's opinion, compared with Lafayette, the news of the death of the elder of the Forgotten Dust Dao will inevitably spread much slower.
It's just that Nanqiu Mountain is extremely remote, and few people go there on weekdays, and there are people passing by almost every day.
But Beihe is destined to make a mistake, even if this reason is ruled out, the news of the death of the chief of the Forgotten Dust Dao is destined to not spread widely.
......
When Lu Hou and the three entered the Chunxiang Pavilion in Liangcheng, the seven princes of Fengguo and his party had already entered the capital of Fengguo and stepped into the imperial city.
Behind the group of iron riders was a chariot, and on the chariot, a black coffin was placed.
It seems that the news has already been received, so in the imperial city, many palace maids and eunuchs are ready to greet them on both sides of the road.
The group walked between the crowds, silent except for the sound of horses' hooves.
When the Seventh Prince came to the most majestic hall in the imperial city with the corpse of the Forgotten Dust Dao Chief, at this moment, an old man in his fifties dressed in a dragon robe and with a short beard was already waiting here.
This person is none other than the emperor of Fengguo.
At the moment of seeing this Emperor Fengguo, the Seventh Prince turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the emperor and knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father!"
However, Emperor Fengguo just glanced at him, and strode to the coffin, at this moment, he looked at the coffin, and there were tears in his eyes.
I saw him grasp the lid of the coffin and lift it hard.
After the coffin was opened by him, he saw at a glance that there was a thin corpse lying in it, it was a Taoist priest who looked older than him.
Interestingly, the two look similar.
"Brother ...... Emperor"
Emperor Fengguo could no longer contain his grief and anger, and lay down on the coffin, crying out of old tears.
No one could have imagined that this Forgotten Dust Dao Chief was actually the brother of Emperor Fengguo.
Not to mention the people in the rivers and lakes, even the people in the Fengguo court don't know much.
And this secret has to start with the last emperor of Fengguo.
The previous emperor of Fengguo had two sons, the eldest of which was addicted to martial arts training and indifferent to political affairs, while the second son showed great ambitions from an early age.
But after the death of the old emperor, according to custom, the throne was passed to the eldest son.
In just one year, the eldest son gave the throne to his younger brother, and he found a broken Taoist temple by himself and devoted himself to studying kendo.
And in order to cut off the connection with the Fengguo court so that he could devote himself to the way of the sword, the emperor also asked his younger brother not to send anyone to disturb him.
The one who doesn't even want the throne, just to participate in the way of the sword, is the master of the Forgotten Dust Dao. His younger brother is now the Emperor Fengguo.
The two brothers are like brothers and sisters, and the chief of the Forgotten Dust Dao even gave up the throne, so the current emperor is very respectful to this brother.
Not only that, when the Seventh Prince was just born, he also sent the Seventh Prince to Puyang Temple, where the Forgotten Dust Daoist was located, and was personally trained by the Forgotten Dust Daoist until he was ten years old before he was sent back to the Fengguo Imperial Court.
Because of this, the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Forgotten Dust Daoist is not an exaggeration to say that it is like father and son.
It is not difficult to understand why the death of the chief of the Forgotten Dust Dao would make the usually ruthless Seven Princes so sad.
"What the hell is going on......"
After a long time, the sobbing emperor suddenly turned around, looked at the Seventh Emperor and said angrily.
"Father, on the way back, the child has already asked people to investigate this matter, and finally knows the general cause of the matter. ”
Say. The Emperor spat out a word succinctly.
The Seven Princes didn't dare to hide anything about this, so they heard him: "In the rivers and lakes of my Fengguo these days, in fact, it has not been peaceful, just because on the virtual realm list on the rivers and lakes, those nine people pushed forward from the back and were killed one by one. And coincidentally, Uncle Huang happened to be the fourth person on the Void Realm list. More than a month ago, the fifth-ranked person was killed, so ......"
At this point, the Seven Princes paused.
"Bastard!"
Emperor Long Yan was furious, and never thought that his brother, the previous emperor of Fengguo, would actually die at the hands of the people in the rivers and lakes.
And after seeing his expression, not only the Seven Princes, but also the surrounding eunuchs, ministers, eunuchs and palace maids were all silent, they had never seen the emperor send such a thunderous fire. Thinking about it, under this anger, the entire Fengguo will not be peaceful, especially the martial arts cultivation world of Fengguo, even more so.
"Father, leave this matter to the child, the child will personally cut off the head of the murderer of the emperor's uncle and send it to his father to sacrifice the emperor's soul in the sky. At this time, I only heard the Seven Princes grit their teeth and say.
Hearing his words, the emperor closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath, as if he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Give you a month. "Just listen to the emperor.
"Yes, Father. "The Seven Princes are overjoyed.
After receiving the order, I listened to him again: "I hope that my father will give me two more guards with swords, plus a hundred iron horses." ”
"Yes!" said the Emperor.
When the words fell, he turned around and continued: "Fugui, prepare for the future for the imperial brother." ”
"Go!"
A seventy or eighty-year-old eunuch who had always followed him bowed.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince stood up, saluted respectfully to the emperor's back, and then walked in the direction he came. The twenty iron horsemen he led before followed him, and the armor on his body still made a swishing sound as he walked.
The Seventh Prince has a month to find out the murderer of the Forgotten Dust Daoist, and it is not long or short, so there can be no delay.
"Zhang Gu, are you sure that the one who killed several people on the Void Realm list didn't leak any rumors in the rivers and lakes. ”
At this time, I only heard the Seventh Prince speak.
Hearing this, a middle-aged man in armor behind this person said: "My subordinates have inquired for a few days, and there are indeed no clues, just because that person kills every time he kills people, and even the baby is not spared, so there is no one who knows who did it." ”
The eyes of the Seven Princes narrowed slightly, and a touch of yin appeared on his handsome face.
"Check it out for me immediately, who is the third on the Void Realm list. ”
