The fifty-ninth octopus is mixed
Due to the slow flight speed of manta rays, it took everyone a whole week to reach the northeastern border of the Demon Flame Empire. There are nine vassal states here, and Daxing is relatively strong. Of course, compared to the four major empires, these vassal states are only equivalent to the size of a first-tier city. Therefore, these vassal states are generally the most central imperial city, surrounded by a few small towns, and a few border towns on the outer border are finished.
"It's finally almost there!" Finally arriving at the northeast border, Shengtian couldn't be more excited. Several people have been fishing in the sea all the way for the past seven days, and then let Mu Hong'er roast them and eat them directly. At first, Shengtian thought it was quite interesting, but after eating it for seven whole days, not to mention how uncomfortable it was!
Unexpectedly, Feng Qianlan, as His Royal Highness Shenyan, not only did not complain, but was quite happy. She said that their Shenyan Empire was mostly desert and far from the sea, so they rarely ate fish, including the royal family. She couldn't be happier after eating all kinds of seafood along the way! It's no wonder that their Shenyan Empire yearns for the fertile land of the Longyan Empire so much, all for survival.
In the evening, everyone arrived at Jinlei Pass on the southern border of Daxingguo, and the third prince of Daxingguo, Taishudeng, personally came out to greet everyone, and brought them into the pass as a guest, and set up a reception banquet.
Uncle Tai sat in the first place, raised his bottle and said with a smile: "This time, I have come all the way to invite all the geniuses of the Five Yan Academy to come to my small place, it is really hard for you! If it weren't for the fact that things were beyond the control of the small country, I wouldn't have given you this kind of trouble." ”
Taishu Deng is the king of Daxing, since the age of 16 has been on the battlefield, fifteen years of brave and good fighting, for Daxing has made great achievements, but also the heir to the throne. Although he has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, Taishu Deng is very handsome, without the roughness of a general. This time the matter about the demon spy was provided by him.
Xia You said with a smile: "Where, where is it, it is the duty of our Five Yan Academy to ensure that there are no demons on the continent. So, can the prince tell us more about the demon spies?"
Taishu Deng was silent for a moment, and said, "Half a month ago, I was assassinated, but fortunately, there was a Sage senior who rested in my pass at that time and repelled the assassin for me. The Sage said, although those assassins are all in the Venerable realm, they use demonic energy, and they are demonic people! I suspect that there are people in our country who are secretly colluding with the Bayan Empire, but I have been guarding the battlefield and don't know anything about the royal city, so I don't know who did it. ”
Xia You was a little surprised. "Is there only His Holiness?"
Taishudeng said embarrassedly: "That, we are just a small country, and the predecessors of the Dragon Ram Tour of Zhenguo are just the only sages in the country." His Holiness is already a supreme being with us. ”
The Holy Heaven couldn't help but open his mouth wide, you know, those first-tier cities of the four empires are all under the jurisdiction of several Sages!
As if seeing what Shengtian was thinking, Feng Qianlan, who was sitting with him, explained in a low voice: "These vassal states are all ethnic minorities with relatively small populations, and their population size is only equivalent to a first-tier city. The most important thing in a country is the national defense force, and they have invested most of their financial resources in the army, how can they have so much spare energy to cultivate saints? It's good to have one!"
"Oh~" Shengtian nodded. "I see!"
Xia You narrowed his eyes and said, "Then how many brothers and sisters does the prince have?"
Uncle Tai Deng let the left and right retreat and said, "I have an eldest sister and a second brother. As you think, I suspect that my second brother did it, but I don't want to believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. ”
Xia You said: "What did the prince find?"
Uncle Tai Deng sighed and said, "I have not been in the royal city for many years, and I don't know the situation in the royal city, the only thing I know is that my father is seriously ill, which has caused turmoil among all parties in the royal city. My people told me that my second brother was forming a faction everywhere, presumably coveting the throne."
Xia You knocked on the table with his right hand and said, "In other words, if we want to investigate the affairs of the demon clan's spies, we have to enter the royal city to investigate your second brother?
Uncle Tai said: "I can't help it, the Bayan Empire is not something we can deal with at all, if I don't have to, I don't dare to bother you." However, I have here the golden decree given by my father for you, and if you see the golden decree as you see my father, no one will dare to embarrass you when you enter the royal city, and you also have the right to condemn anyone, including me!
Xia You waited for Uncle Tai Deng to take out this kind of thing, took the golden order with a smile, and said, "That's really good, with the golden order, it will be easier for us to act." "Hey, it's a pity that only four of them were prepared, and only a few people could use them.
Intervening in a country's internal affairs is bound to encounter all kinds of resistance, even if they are from the Five Yan Academy, but the strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, these intricate forces will not buy his face for their own interests!
Uncle Tai stood up and arched his hand: "Then, this matter will bother you, if anyone dares to embarrass you, tell me directly, I will immediately rush to the royal city and directly exile his whole family!"
"Haha, it's serious!" Several people also got up and saluted back.
"Then please stay here for a few days, and let me do my best to investigate this matter. Come, take you to the best room!"
Three days later, several people went to the royal city, and were entertained by the eldest princess and the second prince. The eldest princess is called Tai Shuyan, not only looks quiet, but also very gentle. The second prince and uncle Yu Chang were heroic, and his behavior and rhetoric were very sharp, and as soon as he came up, he listened to the purpose of the Holy Heaven people coming to their country. It seems that Taishu Deng secretly contacted their Wuyan Academy.
After that, they were summoned by the king of Daxing, Taishuba, to visit Taishuba's dormitory. Uncle Tai was very sick and could only lie on the bed, unable to sit up, and even had difficulty speaking. But he was very happy, and he also told Shengtian and them about his youth, saying that when he was young, he was guided by a person who graduated from Wuyan Academy, which led to his later achievements.
After that they took up residence in the royal palace. At this time, everyone was gathering together to discuss the investigation of the demon clan's spies.
Xia You distributed the golden order to everyone: "After that, Zuo Bin and I are in a separate group, Hanyun and them are in a group of three, and Shengtian is a group of two." I am in charge of the second prince, Zuo Bin is in charge of those kingdom ministers, and Shengtian you are in charge of all the forces in the royal city. As for Hanyun, since Yulan and Hong'er are here, you can stay in the palace and be responsible for contacting our three groups. ”
Mu Hong'er was unhappy. "Brother Xia You, what do you mean, are you and Sister Yulan just a burden!"
Xia You couldn't help but smile and said, "Yulan, your heart is too kind, it's not suitable for this kind of thing." As for you, if we are asked to compensate at that time, we can't afford to pay it!"
Mu Hong'er's face turned red when she heard this, and Ye Yulan couldn't help but smile. She had this kind of thing before, and assigned a task to her, but she directly made a big fuss, and in the end, the academy sent a teacher to negotiate for compensation. Since then, several of them have teamed up to do tasks, and they don't dare to arrange anything for Mu Hong'er. The only thing she was given was to protect Ye Yulan and act as a thug when necessary, but she must not be allowed to stay ten steps away from Dong Hanyun.
Xia You took out another stack of drawings, divided them into four parts, and said, "This is the distribution of the forces of the various parties in the royal city prepared for us by the third prince, and the situation of the forces of the various parties in the royal city is marked in detail. There are so many things we need to pay attention to the most, the second prince Taishu Yu, Taifu Duannan, Jiang Wang Gongyang Fei, the Minister of Finance Xie Tianhao, and the two major merchants Han family and Ren family. In addition, everyone should pay extra attention to one thing, that is, there are signs of activity in the Dark Front Hall here!"
"Darkfront Hall?" "Sheng Tian had never heard of this force. "Let's talk about it~"
Xia You shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's terrible to be uneducated! Dark Fengtang is the strongest assassin organization on the mainland, and even the super powerhouses of the Shadow Flame Realm have assassinated them!"
Sheng Tian opened his mouth wide and said, "No! Such a, I can't afford to provoke it!"
Xia You said with a smile: "This junior brother can rest assured, Dark Fengtang will not kill people casually, as long as you don't threaten the other party's life, the other party will not scold you back." They only kill those on the list, not those who don't matter. ”
"Oooh. Sheng Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's this force and that force in the past few days, I'm scared by you, alas, I didn't bring Qianlan here if I knew it was so complicated here!"
Dong Hanyun said: "If you go on more missions with us, you can learn more about the secrets of the continent, and these things are very helpful for you to walk on the continent." ”
Shengtian Dao: "I also know this, but in the past few days, so many mysterious organizations have popped up, and my brain is a little insufficient! I originally thought that in addition to the God Realm on the continent, the five major empires and our academy were the strongest. Who would have thought that there was actually a force like the Dark Edge Hall that could assassinate the powerhouses of the Shadow Flame Realm, and the strongest existence of the four empires was only the Shadow Flame Realm!"
Dong Hanyun said: "That's right, the strongest people in the four empires are indeed only in the Shadow Flame realm, and the strength of an organization like the Dark Front Hall is enough to compete with an entire empire. But there are more mysterious forces on the continent, and they can even compete with the God Realm!"
Sheng Tian's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "You mean the Ancient Sects, are they really so powerful that they can compete with the Divine Realm?" At the beginning, he heard that the beautiful big sister of the Cold Ice Valley said that their Cold Ice Valley could compete with the Divine Realm, but he didn't believe it. After all, does the mortal world that can be compared to the divine realm really exist?
Dong Hanyun and the others were very surprised that Shengtian actually knew about the Ancient Sect, you know, this is the top secret on the continent, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know it!
Feng Qianlan couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" As His Royal Highness Shenyan, she only overheard her mother talk about the Ancient Sect, and she couldn't ask her mother.
Shengtian said embarrassedly: "That, didn't I tell you about my eldest wife, she was recruited as a disciple by the Ancient Sect." ”
"Oh~ I see!" Xia You was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he was even more yin and yang when he spoke, and he deliberately said to Feng Qianlan.
"Ahh
