Chapter Eighty-Three: The Separation of the Four Realms
"What is the situation in the Imperial Capital and the Imperial Capital now?" Xiao Qianye suddenly asked, pondering, "If the Earth Binding Spirit returned directly with a spirit body, it must have already reported my situation to His Majesty by now, so ...... The new arrest warrant must have come down, right?"
"No, I don't. Xiao Yibai also shook his head puzzled, he unfolded his palm, looking at the blurry light mirror on it that could not be opened, "I haven't been able to contact him since the last time I opened the mirror without his permission, and I don't know what he's doing now." ”
"What about Gongsun Yan?"
"He took over the Wind Demon. Xiao Yibai's face was serious, and he whispered, "I have ordered everyone to move to the Mountain of Charm and the Valley of Confinement to temporarily avoid the limelight, and only he and Mingxi are the only ones left in Tianyu City, but with his status and status, most likely, probably, nothing will happen." ”
"You don't even have the confidence to say this. Xiao Qianye saw his worries, and continued, "Your Majesty just ordered the secret department to arrest me secretly at the beginning, just because he didn't want to be too public, and now if the Earth Bound Spirit has reported my appearance to him, he can find a reason to issue a wanted warrant for the whole territory, treat me as a foreign race, a traitor, or even directly, directly let the forbidden army temporarily take over the four realms instead of the military pavilion, and the guards of the four realms ......"
"Most of the guards of the Four Realms will be temporarily detained under an excuse. Xiao Yi's white eyes were cold, Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, had long had ambitions to carve up the power of the military pavilion, how could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now! Fortunately, most of the guards at the level of the chief and deputy generals of the four realms were also from famous families, except for a few wastelands, most of them should not be in danger of their lives.
"Nanjing, Zhengfan, and Lin Qingyang, only the three of them will be in danger. Xiao Qianye held the sword hard, even if he was anxious but there was nothing he could do, a sense of powerlessness came from his heart, coupled with the exhaustion of several days of running, a flower in front of him directly fell back against the wall.
"Don't worry too much, at least for now, the imperial capital hasn't issued an order. Xiao Yibai comforted, knowing that such a statement was actually just self-comforting, "According to the original plan, after the matter of Jia Luo is resolved, I will go to the Valley of Confinement in the East Underworld to try to destroy the Nightmare Heart, I have been there a long time ago, but at that time I didn't know that the black gold ancient knife inserted on it was the blade of the God of War, and after seeing those things in the forest just now, I realized that the Nightmare Demon must be three bodies in one to really kill, and we don't even know what its remaining two bodies are." ”
"One of them must be something in the Demon Throne, right?" Xiao Qianye rubbed his head and tried to organize his thoughts, "Since it is something that the Holy Blind Clan has guarded for generations, then I can only ask the people of the Holy Blind Clan, and that Chi Qing doesn't know about it?"
"I guess only the Great Elder knows. ”
"Have you thought about such a variable in your plan?" Xiao Qianye smiled bitterly, "With the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gongsun Yan, it shouldn't be possible to go all the way to death, you must have other arrangements a long time ago, right?"
"The arrangement did exist, but it was a little bit more than expected. Xiao Yibai continued to try to open the light mirror to contact Prince Mingxi, but the other party seemed to be deliberately trying to avoid him, and he never allowed the mirror to be opened, he thought about it for a while, pinched his fingers and snapped his fingers, and after a soft "crackle", a dark butterfly flew out of his fingers.
"This is Gongsun Yan's thing?" Xiao Qianye stared at the green Butterfly, Xiao Yibai nodded, and said, "It's Butterfly Valley's Butterfly Technique, he left one for me, and I can find him at a critical time." ”
I saw the butterfly's wings fly through a circle, and the spiritual power gradually converged from the edge of the circle to the center like a stream of water, and finally opened a mirror image in front of them.
"It's very convenient, but a butterfly can only be used once, and if you don't know how to do it, the butterfly's lifespan can only last for a month, and you can only open the mirror for a short time. Xiao Yibai casually explained, on the opposite side of the mirror, Gongsun Yan was sitting in a dimly lit room, the table in front of him was messily covered with all kinds of letters, official documents, and behind him were two tall bookcases, in addition to the same messy books, there were also a lot of exquisite antiques, he leisurely drank tea, and after seeing the mirror light up, he simply pushed the things on the table directly to the ground with his hands, and then placed the light mirror on it.
Xiao Qianye recognized at a glance that this was the Mirror Pavilion in the imperial capital, unlike the Military Pavilion and the Ink Pavilion, which would be cleaned and placed neatly, the Mirror Pavilion would always be this chaotic appearance, just like the dirty transactions behind it.
"Where's Mingxi?" Xiao Yibai asked straight to the point, but Gongsun Yan waved his hand unhurriedly, and asked, "How is it over there?"
"I was hurt a little, but it wasn't a big deal. ”
"That's good. He took a sip of tea, bent down and rummaged on the ground for a long time, and finally pinched a letter and shook it, and said mysteriously, "Guess what this is?"
"The light mirror won't last long, and I don't want to play a guessing game with you. Xiao Yibai urged impatiently, the other party sighed helplessly, still ignored him, Gongsun Yan directly opened the letter and pasted it on the mirror, "This is the report letter I entrusted the owner of the Jiang Mansion to find the joint name of the major commercial houses, it is worthy of the landlord, the work is fast, you look at these signatures and seals, absolutely reliable, right? I will hand this thing over to my father tomorrow...... Oh, it's the hand of the left minister of the ink pavilion. ”
Xiao Yibai looked at the letter in the mirror seriously, his face finally became pale and weak, he swallowed foam, and said with difficulty: "You, what are you doing here?
"No way, I can't...... Affect your family. Gongsun Yan put away the letter and repacked it, and carefully placed it in the corner of the table, "I can't take this risk, even if my mother is His Majesty's second sister, I can't take risks easily, you also know, His Majesty didn't leave any affection for his eldest sister back then." 518 Chinese Net
"Xiao Yibai, the showdown between the crown prince and His Majesty is coming......" He said the words that shocked the world quietly, but there was no trace of waves in his eyes, "Although I have been imagining the situation of this day for a long time, but it still came earlier and more suddenly than I expected, to be honest, I really came to this point, I am still a little uneasy in my heart, if you can still free your hand, hurry back to Tianyu City, after all, I am alone...... I'm really not sure I can save him. ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yibai's heart instantly rose to his throat, Gongsun Yan sighed silently, suddenly put down the tea in his hand, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Are you injured......" Xiao Yibai's eyes were a little terrifying, and on his bare arm was the marks of being cut by the flames, which looked like the Yandi Sword from Gao Chengchuan!
Although Gongsun Yan always looks cynical, his true ability, as an accomplice, is very clear, how could he be so seriously injured by Gao Chengchuan in the stable Tianyu City?
"Don't show the injuries on your body, right? Hey, the old man is a lot older, and he is really ruthless. Gongsun Yan smiled indifferently, "It's worth the injury, I sneaked into the Governor's Mansion and found a letter from Gao Chengchuan that was ready to be sent to the dark departments in various places, it was the latest plan from the Star Sacrifice Palace, they named it 'Separation of the Four Realms', that is, to separate the four realms of Yudu, Dongming, Jialuo, Yangchuan and Tianyu City, it's a pity that I didn't see what to do, because Gao Chengchuan suddenly returned." ”
"The separation of the four realms?" Xiao Qianye suddenly stepped forward, his eyes full of anger, "The great palace master of the Star Sacrifice Palace is transformed by the Earth Binding Spirit, and they actually want to listen to a monster's plan to start the separation of the four realms?"
"Earth Binding Spirit?" Gongsun Yan's wrist trembled, and he suddenly raised his eyes, "You said that the Lord of An Yu Palace is the Earth Binding Spirit?"
"I've fought with it, and it's the Earthbound Spirit. ”
"No wonder Mingxi wants to check her details. Gongsun Yan had a fierce look in his eyes, and he crushed the teacup in his hand hard, "No wonder the Star Sacrifice Palace can calculate that the sacrifice of the four realms can lift the Heavenly Domain City to the sky, and the Star Sacrifice Palace Master turned out to be a monster......!" Where does the monster want to return to its homeland with Feiyuan, it simply wants Feiyuan to shatter and sink to the bottom of the sea forever! Is Your Majesty really crazy? He will actually listen to the monster's slander!"
"Does Mingxi know about this?" Xiao Yibai hurriedly asked, only to see Gongsun Yan pause, be silent for a long time, and shake his head, "I know that I know, but I won't be able to contact him from this morning." ”
"You can't get in touch so close!?" Xiao Yibai felt a burst of nameless fear, his mind was in a mess, Gongsun Yan nodded, and continued, "Maybe I'm worried that he will save your brother, or maybe I don't want him to interfere in the plan to separate the four realms, Your Majesty asked Gao Chengchuan to escort him to Fengxintai early in the morning on the grounds of repairing the prince's palace to prepare for the wedding, and now all the guards in the imperial city have been transferred to Xingluo Lake, and I can't see him anymore." ”
"This is to put the prince under house arrest. Xiao Qianye reminded in a low voice, lowered his head and looked at the ground indifferently, His Majesty has always been indulgent to the prince, and he will be caught off guard at this time, so it is obviously on the embankment early in the morning, right?
"It's a clumsy excuse, but I can't fault it. Gongsun Yan is also very helpless, Prince Mingxi has long passed the marriageable age, although there has been no woman he likes around him, but as the most orthodox heir of the royal family, even if His Majesty forcibly points to marriage, it is a matter of course.
"But Your Majesty hasn't issued a warrant for you all yet. Gongsun Yan suddenly added, he was also a little inexplicable, staring at the two brothers behind the mirror, muttering to himself, "I'm curious about what he is afraid of, if he just didn't want to be too loud and cause turmoil in the four realms at the beginning, then now he can arrest you under the pretext of 'alien race', but he still didn't do it...... Why, on earth, is there anything about you that deserves to be so jealous of him?"
"It's probably not him who is afraid of me. Xiao Qianye snorted coldly, his face was filled with a terrifying expression, and his eyes instantly brightened and terrifying, "The one who is really afraid of me is the Night King behind him, he doesn't want to see the prophecy of the Emperor Star Fall come true." ”
"It's time for you to have a good talk with the people behind Your Majesty......" Gongsun Yan picked up the report letter on the table and put it in his arms, waved his hand at the two, revealing an innocent smile, "I'm waiting for you in the temple." ”
Before the words fell, the Stygian Butterfly extinguished the spiritual fire with a snort, and directly dissipated the actinography.
"Qianye, I have to go back and save them first. Xiao Yibai was still looking at the light mirror that had disappeared, trying his best to control the trembling and uneasiness in his eyes, "You just asked me if I had any other arrangements, right?" Originally, he wanted to win you over after seizing the military pavilion, first secretly control the four realms, and then mobilize the power of the wind demon to assassinate Gao Chengchuan to seize the military power of the forbidden army, and finally force His Majesty to take the initiative to abdicate, but now all the plans must be put aside first, and the only thing to do now is to rescue him from Tianyu City!"
"Hmm. Xiao Qianye nodded unexpectedly, Xiao Yibai looked at his younger brother in surprise, a little stiff, "You, you are really willing to help us?" Qianye, I know that when you were in North Shore City, you were just forced to be helpless, it was Mingxi who threatened you with Yunxiao and Tianche, forcing you to join the Wind Demon, now, now you ......"
"I won't survive without helping you. Xiao Qianye exhaled lightly and laughed sarcastically, "From now on, to human beings, you and I are humble and lowly aliens, and to aliens, you and I are imperial lackeys who kill our compatriots, and neither side is pleasing to you." ”
Xiao Yibai didn't reply, the fear in his eyes gradually receded, and he became firm and bright little by little - although the road ahead is difficult, he still needs to move forward.
