"After you left the last time, Lone ordered someone to thoroughly investigate my brother's residence and the prince's mansion. It is almost certain that the monster was acquired when he was a prince. Because of the confession of the subordinates in the palace, a strange roar was occasionally heard from the back garden of the palace, and the guards in the palace also sent a large amount of fresh meat and bones into it every once in a while, saying that they were feeding large Ao dogs. But with the weight of two live cows at a time, where can a dog eat so much meat?"

"Can you find its origin?" Yan Saburo said, but in his heart he remembered the Cangwu envoy in the mouth of the ghost of the Hidden Country. Two messengers passed through the wall of fog, one of whom was infected by the Wraith King, and the other stripped the core of the sacred tree and fled the Hidden Realm with his companions......

And then what?

What happened to them when they returned?

After going through so much, Yan Saburo and Chitose have a basic consensus, that is, the three-eyed monster is the messenger of Canggo. It was a powerful creature that could pass through the plane, how did the Wei King get it and enslave it?

An old servant in the Prince's Mansion recalled that a few years ago, his brother received a distinguished guest at Lanzhi Villa on the outskirts of the city as a state guest. The man stayed in the house for about two months, and had a good conversation with him. According to the old servant's recollection, since the man left, strange roaring noises were often heard in the house. ”

"Do you have any information about this person?"

"There were forty people, long beards, tall and thin, with clear faces, and a mole under the earlobe. Xiao Mi replied quickly, "The old servant heard his brother call him Mr. Yu. The rest, I don't know. ”

However, another guard in the prince's palace confessed that there was indeed a large iron cage hidden in the back garden, but when the garden was open, the cage was empty. ”

Chitose Interface: "It's not surprising that the avant-garde king controls it through a chain encrusted with gems. It's likely to have storage power. She paused, then emphatically added, "Living creatures." ”

"A living thing?" Yan Saburo saw the look of surprise on Xiao Mi's face, and remembered that the monarch was not a stranger, so he explained to him: "Storage space is not common, but there is one after all." But space for living creatures is extremely rare. ”

So far, he had seen the crocodile's green-skinned belly capable of holding a living person, and as for the wooden bell he carried, Chitose never mentioned it, and he didn't know if it counted.

In other words, this surnamed Yu not only brought the Three-Eyed Monster to the Avant-garde King, but also gave him a space to store living things. Chitose held her chin in one hand, "What a big stroke!"

Yan Saburo nodded: "This Mr. Yu won't be an unknown person, right?"

"We're still investigating. Xiao Mi took a sip of tea, "Yu is a big surname, and this description is not enough." "There is a large population on this continent, and it is not easy to find out a person with the surname Yu based on this bit of information alone. "So far, there are as many as thirty suspects, and there may be some missing. ”

"I'm tired. ”

"Between you and me, what do you want to thank you?" Xiao Mi smiled heartily, "I still owe you a good favor, and I can't wait to pay it back quickly, but, it's not ......" He was a little surprised, "I'm afraid I will owe another one again this time." ”

"Do you want to keep an account?" Chitose took a sip of tea, "If you owe too much, you will have to calculate interest." ”

She saw that Yan Saburo had just peeled a walnut, so she snatched the peach kernel and ate it, "Peel it again, I want more." ”

Donglin Restaurant has honey-refined amber walnuts, but she refuses to eat them, so she doesn't order walnut balls with shells. The boy knew that ninety percent of this drudgery would fall on his head.

Really.

No matter how hard the walnut was in his hand, it was like a paper shell, and it shattered with a slight pinch, revealing the whole kernel inside. He carefully removed the shell dregs before handing them to Chitose.

Seeing Yan Saburo honestly bury himself in peeling walnuts, Xiao Mi was also distressed: "I want to give San Lang an official, but this guy refuses." ”

"Feng Guan?" Chitose rolled his eyes, "Are you repaying the favor, or do you want him to die for you?"

Both. Xiao Mi smiled.

Yan Saburo didn't raise his head: "Say, what's the trouble again?"

"I would like to invite you and Chitose to the palace. Xiao Mi straightened her face, "To be exact, it's a trip to the Heavenly Prison." ”

Yan Sanlang's hand moved, and he was quiet for two breaths before saying, "Ji Nanke?"

Sure enough, he couldn't be scared, and when others heard the word "heavenly prison", their legs were weak. Xiao Mi was bored. "yes. ”

"He hasn't confessed yet?" It's unbelievable, there must be a master of torture in the palace, after so many days, can't he dig out the mastermind behind Ji Nanke's mouth?

"Recruited. Seeing that Chitose was fragrant, Xiao Mi also grabbed a handful of melon seeds, "At first, he confessed that it was Xu Minghai's mastermind. "Anyway, Yan Shichu is going to live in Weiguo for a long time, and he will know these news sooner or later.

Yan Saburo knew that Xu Minghai was a general in the central part of the country, and he was once a supporter of the avant-garde king, with 70,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Three years ago, Han Zhao raised an incident, and he also sent troops to King Qinwang of Shengyi. However, the Zhenbei army moved too fast, and when Xiao Mi seized the throne, Xu Minghai had not yet reached Shengyi, but he received the news that the overall situation had been decided, and immediately died down and retracted again.

Han Zhao knew his thoughts, but at that time, the country was in urgent need of stability, and Xiao Mi issued an amnesty decree after succeeding to the throne, as long as everyone from all walks of life supported the new monarch, the royal court could ignore the past suspicions.

After all, most of the powerful people are inextricably linked to the avant-garde king. If Xiao Mi wielded the butcher's knife, there would be few people left in the entire royal court.

Many wealthy families, including Xu Minghai, have been preserved in this way.

Chitose said lightly: "Raising tigers is a problem." ”

"Why didn't you know at the time?" Xiao Mi shook her head, "I have to be heard." ”

At that time, the defense of the country had been fought for many years, and the people had been exhausted, and the people urgently needed to recuperate, and the royal court only wanted to calm down. And because these tumors cannot be removed in a short period of time, even if hidden dangers are buried, Xiao Mi has to issue an amnesty order to alleviate domestic contradictions.

"However, I have used all kinds of supernatural powers to retry, and he changed his confession. Xiao Mi exhaled, "He identified King Huai." ”

"Huaiwang?" Yan Saburo frowned, "Huaiwang Sidaguang?" handing Chitose a small plate of peeled walnuts.

"I, David, am such a king with a different surname. Xiao Mi took a bite of the hawthorn cake and couldn't help frowning.

It's so sour, even if it's sprinkled with sugar, it's still sour, and it seems to be sour all the way to the heart.

"If it's really King Huai, it's even trickier. Yan Saburo used to walk with Han Zhao, and he listened to him analyze the domestic generals. King Huai, who was stationed in the west of David, was forty-seven years old this year, and his 100,000-strong army guarded the border. When the Brown Army revolted, he led his team to suppress it and won several great victories.

Chitose smiled: "It is said that his reputation in the west is skyrocketing. ”

Xiao Mi raised his eyebrows, and his face turned cold: "The civilians in his jurisdiction only know that there is King Huai above, but they don't know that David has a son of heaven!"
