Chapter 630: Win Zhaojun's hometown again, and the battle for the heir is about to break out (2)
Both Ying Zhaojun and Chang Xi keenly captured the many meanings contained in the second senior brother's blurted out, the former smiled, and the latter was much more secretive.
Chang Xi didn't dwell too much on the word "Zhaojun", and said with careful analysis: "Since the eldest prince has faded out of the public eye, we simply don't guess him as the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, he has not been heard from for many years, even if we regard him as the primary imaginary enemy, there is no way to target and start planning." ”
The corners of the second senior brother's mouth raised slightly, and sure enough, only the last second prince remained.
"There are many people in this Lushan Mountain, no matter how you think about it, there may be a chess piece hidden by the dragon, and the only trustworthy Dharma Protector Red Fish was also secretly transferred to the Imperial City by the sect master Yi Duzi, so this is no longer a place to stay for a long time. ”
Chang Xi glanced imperceptibly at the dark place, and said softly: "This also confirms from the side that Yi Duzi should have reached some kind of cooperative relationship with the Ying clan's royal family, maybe the collaborator behind this is the second prince who is in charge of the dragon." ”
Ying Zhaojun is a smart woman, Chang Xi's impeccable truth deduction convinced her, she subconsciously asked, "Then what should we do next?"
Chang Xi and the second senior brother glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Enter the Imperial City!"
The walls of the Demon Domain Imperial City are extremely high and extensive, and its height can even be comparable to the scale of Xianyang City in the Demon Realm. According to Ying Zhaojun's explanation, the Demon Domain many years ago was not the current situation of the Win clan's unification, but the three-legged trend of the Demon Dao Sect and the division of many powerful lords. Later, the Demon Emperor ordered Batuo Hongtu to open up the territory for the Ying clan to rip the soil and flatten the forces of various places, after many years of strife and fighting, this piece of demon land from the real "unification", the imperial city has also experienced countless baptism of war and gunsmoke, will have such a magnificent and tall city wall, as high as a mountain can not be crossed.
The four of them met the soldier who checked the identity plate in front of the city gate, and the appearance and bearing of Ying Zhaojun who were not like ordinary families could have made the soldier suspicious, took the token handed by the woman, and saw the lines on the front and back that symbolized the identity of the Ying royal family, and suddenly his face was colorless. With a shake of his hand, he almost didn't even grasp the token.
Seeing this scene, the lieutenant next to him strode over to take the token, and his expression and movements were no better than the previous soldier. The lieutenant on duty didn't bother to think about how the members of the royal family of the Ying clan would line up to enter the city with these untouchables, and opened a special passage for the top nobles of the imperial city for Ying Zhaojun non-stop.
The lieutenant said with a smile on his face: "Please also ask the princess to forgive me, the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, which delayed your time to enter the city, and please ask the princess a lot." ”
The second senior brother laughed quietly: "This is barely in line with the style that the eighth princess should have." ”
Ying Zhaojun quietly twisted Yunmo's waist, and the sound of labor made the lieutenant feel like he was in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really appropriate for me to come back like this?"
The pimple flesh on Yunmo's waist is not far from the strength of meteoric iron, where is it that an ordinary woman in the Void Realm can pinch and move? He said: "The little junior brother's analysis is good, the poisonous insect that can only move in the dark is the most afraid of light, and we go directly back to the imperial city, which is equivalent to standing on the edge of the dazzling light source, and the second prince is in charge of the monstrous power of the dragon, and he can't do anything under the nose of the Demon Emperor." ”
Yunmo smiled: "Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest place. ”
The corners of Ying Zhaojun's mouth curled with warmth, she actually knew most of it in her heart, but she just wanted to hear the man next to her explain it to her.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, is nothing more than that.
Ying Zhaojun, who has been away from the imperial city for a long time, stretched out her arms and made a hugging motion, although the pattern of the imperial city has changed in the past few years, but she is as careful as a hair, she still quickly recognized one of the aspects and led them to the front.
The scale of the Demon Imperial City is very large, and it is much more prosperous than Chang Xi imagined, the streets are wide and there are many merchants, and you can even see many gadgets from Kyushu craftsmanship here, which are dazzling, but the prices are staggering.
Chang Xi asked Ying Zhaojun to know that it turned out that the Demon Domain had sent tens of thousands of various spies to Kyushu, and these spies with different cultivation were divided into geese and turtles. Every once in a while, spies belonging to the wild goose genre will bring back various books and items from Kyushu from unknown special ways, so that the Demon Domain can study the customs and habits of the Kyushu human race, so as to know each other and know themselves in order to survive a hundred battles. At the same time, they also absorb the parts of the human customs that are suitable for them, localize and improve them, and then apply them to various fields.
As the name suggests, as long as they take root in Kyushu, they will not come back, and they will often infiltrate a certain sect or lurk in an unknown village like mortals, living peacefully while completing various tasks arranged in advance. Because they have learned the customs and etiquette of the human race since they were young, they will not show the pepper at all, waiting for the day when the Demon Domain will wake them up.
These turtle spies are all elites in ten thousand, and they have been specially treated from the moment they were born, and they have not practiced magic since they were young, but practiced the magic powers of the human race, so as to reach the point where they can be fake. For example, the dead wood that once discovered the body of the yin phoenix and the elder Fu Lao of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect are the elite of these old turtles.
If they don't make a move, they will definitely stir up the storm.
Chang Xi was silent when he heard this.
After walking through the long streets, after several twists and turns, the bustling pedestrians around them were no longer the bustling people they used to be, and they came to the door of a house with two mighty stone lions in front of it.
This used to be the Eighth Princess's Mansion, but at this moment, the hot stamping plaque is no longer there.
Ying Zhaojun was expelled from the imperial city by the Demon Emperor many years ago, but because she was able to return to her identity as the heir at this time. This Eight Princesses' Mansion is not overgrown with weeds as imagined because people go to the mansion, and even the two stone lions at the entrance of the mansion have no excess dust, and they are even faintly shiny, obviously every once in a while someone has cleaned them, otherwise it is impossible to achieve such cleanliness in a few years.
Qingzhu, who was standing behind Ying Zhaojun, took out a long-handled key from his arms and solemnly handed it to the princess, who was the mistress of this mansion.
Ying Zhaojun walked up the steps and came to the door, the long-handled key trembled slightly in the woman's hand, and as the woman took a deep breath, she slowly inserted it into the copper lock.
The shaving-like scroll sounded in the old copper lock, and there was a crisp click, like a stone falling to the ground, and the sound of the fine machine bracket was particularly comfortable.
The woman pushed open the courtyard door, and the familiar scenery spread out in front of her again like a picture.
She crouched down and touched the earth, tears dripping from her feet wet.
"I'm back. ”
