"This one is actually perfect for you. When Shangguan Yi was in a dilemma, the blood cloak took a dagger from the weapon rack and handed it to Shangguan Yi.

"But I'm not very good at using daggers, and besides, it's useless for a swordsman to give up his sword and not practice two martial arts. "Shangguan Yi is a little incomprehensible, swordsmen use swords, and no sword uses fists instead of swords, this kind of common truth, the blood cloak will not understand.

"An inch is short, an inch is dangerous, it can also be used as a sword, and the value of this dagger is not low, you can keep it for yourself or give it away. "The Blood Cloak continues to recommend.

"But ......" Shangguan Yi still hesitated, not because he was afraid of taking the dagger and wasting the opportunity to get the treasure or something, what he wanted, how many things he wanted could be discussed with Mo Lan with a shy face, the key was that he felt that the attitude of the blood cloak was very suspicious.

"She actually wants you to bear the cause and effect of this dagger, don't think about it so much. Jiu glanced at the dagger and revealed the truth.

"Cause and effect? This dagger's?" Shangguan Yi was even more confused, what kind of cause and effect could this dagger have? Although it is indeed a good dagger, it is only to the extent of "good", and it is estimated that there will be a gap or something when used to fight with Shangguan Yi's sword.

"Well, this is the dagger of the previous head of the Fu family, it seems to be connected with something, so the Fu family has been looking for it, although it is not very enthusiastic, but it has also hung a reward, and sent it back to the Fu family, maybe it can be personally received by the Fu family." Jiu explained a little, he was seducing Shangguan Yi and being fooled, but Shangguan Yi could see that he was also not interested in this matter.

"Oh, not interested. Shangguan Yi pouted, this dagger is really important, Fu Changan will take it back by himself, and the blood cloak will not be left to himself, eighty percent of it is hidden in it, they don't say it, they are digging a pit for themselves, and a fool will jump.

"Don't take the heart of a villain to the belly of a gentleman, take it, if you send this dagger back to the Fu family, plus your eloquence and shamelessness, you will definitely be able to hug the thigh of the Fu family, and then operate it, if you encounter any trouble in the future, I can't say that the Fu family will protect you once." What's more, you should have heard of the Fu family, right? When the family really becomes the climate, it will be too late to pull the relationship, and now is the best. Mo Lan also persuaded him, there is really nothing wrong with this matter, just send the dagger back and get some reward or something, it is really Shangguan Yi thinking too much.

Shangguan Yi was speechless, and secretly complained in his heart: I have already had a good relationship with Fu Changan? You ignorant human beings, you are stupid! It's the blood cloak, if he is willing to help me, he should know some information about me, right? Why do you still make such a suggestion, it's very strange.

Spit and complain, reluctant to reluctant, Shangguan Yi still accepted the dagger and prepared to return it to Fu Changan when they met next time.

"Okay, since we've almost taken it, let's leave, it's time to go back to Kyoto, I hope nothing big happens. Mo Lan clapped her hands and was going back.

Shangguan Yi said approvingly: "The purpose of this trip has basically been achieved, it is indeed time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and hit King Ning by surprise, first say okay, let me come with that guy's dog life." ”

"Cut~" The crowd listened to his serious speech, and just when they wanted to nod their heads to show that you were right, they heard Shangguan Yi's last sentence, and at the same time showed a contemptuous expression, and then followed Mo Lan back.

"Hey, what do you mean by this, even King Ning's head is going to be robbed with me? Shangguan Yi shouted as he followed.

"King Ning rebelled, and life and death should be handled by the emperor. Mo Lan glanced at Shangguan Yi and said without being salty.

"This, the sword has no eyes, there is no way, not to mention that King Ning is like that, how can he be left alive?" Shangguan Yi shook his head, looking very helpless.

"Yes, yes, the sword has no eyes, no way. "Jiu and the others echoed one after another, and the meaning was already clear: the sword has no eyes, there is no way to kill King Ning and rob people's heads, and we didn't mean it.

"I think you just can't get along with me, right? It's no good for you to kill him, why do you have to rob him?" Shangguan Yi stomped his feet a little angrily and asked.

"Hahaha, you don't understand this, if I take it, I will be able to blow everywhere in the future, can the head of King Ning be the same as the head of ordinary people? They heard that I took the head of King Ning of Donghai, and they are not allowed to look up to me, serving me with good tea, good wine and good meat?" Jiu talked about his own reason with a little eyebrows, and Shangguan Yi and Mo Lan who listened to it were full of black lines, this reason was too boring, right? If King Ning of Donghai really died in his hands like this, I am afraid that the entire East China Sea would be ashamed of it.

"Let's rely on their abilities, anyway, King Ning must die. The blood cloak said the most critical part in one sentence: King Ning will die, as for who dies in whose hands, it is all acceptable, but let him run away.

"Well, it's up to each person. Shangguan Yi grinded his teeth, smiled very kindly, and looked at Jiu's scalp a little numb.

......

When the group returned to the ground, they found a problem: how to transport the stolen goods back to Kyoto, it must be unreliable to store them here temporarily, but it was impossible for them to drive a few carriages back, it was too slow and misguided.

But fortunately, with Jiu's reinforcements, their manpower is not too stretched, so this matter is entrusted to Jiu and his teammates, let Jiu take his nine team members to escort these things slowly, and the rest of them hurry back to Kyoto with some key items.

Since the plan has been set, then they will not procrastinate, they will go back directly to Nanke to get the horse and rush back, plus the support of the original team of prison ghosts on the way, their lineup is unprecedentedly strong, and they can almost break their wrists with the worship hall of the East China Sea.

(PS: The prison ghost is the name given to them by people who have a certain understanding of this organization, not the real name of this organization, for the time being, this team of people was entrusted by Shangguan Yi to be responsible for intercepting Xingluo and people traveling between Nanke and Kyoto.) )

Mo Lan looked at his lineup, calculated something, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Yi was a little curious about why he suddenly won the ticket, could it be that he thought of some killer idea?

"No, it just feels like there's a bottom in the battle for the throne. Mo Lan smiled and said something that made Shangguan Yi a little confused.

"Well, in fact, I have always been optimistic about King Ning's winning rate, but he dares to do it, he should have hole cards in hand, so even if we have such a lineup, we can't act rashly, it's better to be careful. Shangguan Yi shook his head, King Ning is not a fool, although he is a madman, but at least he should have the measure of the strength ratio of the two sides, and if he dares to do it, it means that he has a chance of winning, and it is not low.

After Shangguan Yi said this, Jiu Yao and Feng Li both nodded approvingly, but the Blood Cloak and the Captain of the Hell Ghost Squad (let's call him Chief) shook their heads a little disapprovingly, and after the two exchanged glances, the Commander said: "I'm afraid you don't understand the system or rules of the East China Sea in this matter, right? If it weren't for our support, the Holy Lord would actually be on the weaker side today."

The battle for the throne is a battle between two or more parties who are of the same era and have the right to inherit the throne, and the power that can be used is the power of the disciples who are subordinate to themselves, and the courtiers, the enshrinement, and the vast majority of troops cannot be used unless it is carried out to the stage of war between soldiers and horses.

If one of the parties is the emperor, he is allowed to use the forces within the imperial city at any stage, i.e., the chamberlains and the royal guards, but he must also fulfill the emperor's responsibilities until he loses and hands them over to the next emperor.

And so on, there are a whole bunch of cumbersome rules, and it is the royal antiques who oversee the process of the battle for the throne and the prosecution of those who break the rules. ”

"Supervision, everything that involves people to make this kind of ruling, there is inevitably unfairness, how is the East China Sea resolved? Multiple factions supervise each other?" Shangguan Yi frowned, if King Ning is allowed to launch a war to seize the throne, Jun Yishen, Qian Quanlin and others may not be able to help the emperor, even if the emperor has secret forces, it is still a question whether he can deal with King Ning, not to mention that while fighting for the throne, he also has to be responsible for the daily life of a country, no wonder King Ning wants to provoke a war with Miao Jiang, with ill intentions.

"No, they didn't solve the problem, they thought it was a stroke of luck to be appreciated by the Overseer, so ...... There are no substantial restrictions on this, that is, it is not allowed to do it yourself and not to violate the royal code of the East China Sea, and the content of that code is quite limited, and there is not even any mention of the battle for the throne.

The worst thing is that when the emperor ascends the throne, the royal antiques should go to watch the ceremony, but when the current saint of the East China Sea ascends the throne, the royal group of old things did not appreciate their faces, and the reason is unknown, what does this mean, you should have a number, right?"

"That is to say, if we can't defeat King Ning by an overwhelming margin, they may make a fuss about the rules and will not be punished, and we will be strictly limited by the rules, and it will be difficult to play. Shangguan Yi frowned, thinking about this question, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked Mo Lan: "Once the war starts, what is our identity?

"Once the war starts, I will be the emperor's lackey, and you are my disciples, so it doesn't matter. Mo Lan waved his hand, he had already thought of this layer.

"Please use the phrase "I am the emperor's guest", thank you, or I will go back and pack the package and I will slip away. Shangguan Yi's face was full of black lines, what kind of adjective is this?

"Well, okay, you are the emperor's doorman, and you are also a doorman, so it's not a big problem. "Mo Lan corrected the repetition when he knew his mistakes.

"Is this a loophole?" Shangguan Yi's eyes lit up, wouldn't it be okay to let a fierce man like Qian Quanlin be the emperor's doorman first, and then restore his official position?

"What do you think most people choose to be officials for?" Mo Lan suddenly raised his head and asked meaninglessly.

"Climb up with meritorious service?" Shangguan Yi was a little confused.

"Yes, courtiers who participate in the battle for the throne have to pay a price, and if they choose participants before the battle for the throne is announced, the official position shall not exceed seven ranks, and afterwards, their official positions shall not exceed four ranks for life. After the announcement, participants are required to give up their official positions, and they are not allowed to suspend their posts for five years after the end of the battle for the throne, and their lifetime official positions must not exceed seven ranks. Officials who have reached the third grade or above shall be treated in accordance with Article 2.

To pay such a price, how many people are willing to help others? As long as they choose neutrality, nothing will happen afterwards, so why risk their own future and risk their lives to participate in such a thing?" Mo Lan smiled and said a rule, pouring a basin of cold water on Shangguan Yi.

"So, why bother?" Shangguan Yi asked rhetorically, Mo Lan could also choose to watch from the sidelines, but he wanted to go into the water, what was this for?

"He Ning Wang is not worthy of me Mo Lan saddled his horse for him, bow and do his best!" Mo Lan straightened his spine and held his head high, and said proudly, speaking impassionedly and categorically.

He can be humbly the emperor's dog and solve any troubles for him, as long as the emperor is wise, but he is not worthy of this treatment for King Ning.

"It's a good "He Ning Wang is not worthy", we should not get drunk and return to this sentence, it's a pity. Shangguan Yi shook his head, a little regretful.

"It's okay, drink after the big win, there is a chance. Mo Lan smiled, but at the moment she was inexplicably a little relaxed.

"So do you know the seven-day limit given by Miao Jiang? The chief sighed helplessly.

"What is the seven-day limit?" Shangguan Yi was a little inexplicable.

Mo Lan patted his head and said with some uncertainty: "If you extraduce, those Miao Jiang envoys came to the East China Sea to ask for an explanation because of the things that King Ning did, but everyone didn't know that King Ning did it before, so the other party asked to hand over the murderer within seven days?

The chief nodded and added, "That's roughly the case, after all, they don't have anything to do with Donghai, and if they want to chat, they don't send sacrifices." They weren't just doing things for King Ning, or rather, they were trying to see something else through those things and what was happening. ”

Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment, and said with a headache: "It should be the one from Miao Jiang who wants to see the context of the future through the future and the present, after all, there are many directions in the future, if you find out some of the clues, you can rule out some of them." If his skills are really as legendary, the news fed back by Miao Jiang's envoys this time is enough for him to lock in the future relationship between Miao Jiang and Donghai, and it seems that the complexity of this matter has increased a lot. ”。

"That's right, so, we really don't have much time, and we still have to prepare" What should we do if we fail to take off King Ning's head in time and give it to the Miao Jiang envoys?" The chief nodded, looked approvingly, and suddenly touched the key to Shangguan Yi.

"Take the head of King Ning Xiang within four days. Shangguan Yi said coldly, whipped his horse again, and sped up to rush back.
