Chen Dequan saw the strange expression on Shen Linfeng's face, so he asked, "Could it be that Gongzi has seen this pattern?"

Shen Linfeng glanced back at him and nodded.

"I've seen it in the Lost Forest south of Huashan City!"

When Chen Dequan heard this, he seemed to be extremely excited.

"Childe has been to the Lost Forest?"

"Been there, what's wrong?"

Chen Dequan hurriedly replied: "To be honest, I found this picture from the prince's study. ”

Shen Linfeng was shocked, and secretly said that what he thought was indeed right.

Chen Dequan continued: "Before I found this picture, I also received an identical one. ”

"Oh, where did you get it?"

Chen De smiled across the board.

"It's exactly what Childe just said about the lost forest!"

Shen Linfeng stopped talking, waiting for Chen Dequan to continue.

The latter understood and said: "I can't hide it, although I am the crown prince who was single-handedly promoted by the prince, I am not from the same party as him. Once, I overheard the prince mentioning the lost forest many times in the study, so I sent someone to inquire. As a result, there really was such a place in the Central Plains, and I secretly sent a few spies into the labyrinth. ”

"And then, did the agents come back?"

Chen Dequan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No one has come back." However, they sent me this picture and a note. ”

"What a note!"

Chen Dequan looked around unnecessarily, and said in a low voice: "Tens of thousands of troops are intended, intending to rebel!"

"I was shocked at the time, but I also knew that this matter was absolutely inseparable from the prince. Thereupon...... One night I sneaked into his study. ”

"And found the same picture?"

"That's right!"

"What happened later?" Shen Linfeng couldn't help but ask.

"Later?" Chen Dequan laughed coldly.

"Later, I was beheaded by the prince on a charge. ”

"Who leaked your whereabouts?"

Chen Dequan opened his mouth, but then shook his head again.

Shen Linfeng knew that he didn't want to say that person's name, so he simply didn't ask more.

"Since you have been beheaded all over the house, why are you still alive?"

Chen Dequan showed a bitter smile.

"Pretend to be crazy and stupid! When the prince learned that I had become a waste, not only did he not kill me, but he also let me continue to stay in Nandi City. ”

"Why did he do that?"

"Why? In order to show those who disagree with him that this is what will happen to those who oppose him. He is also insulting me, because my Chen family has been an official for generations, and I am also a gateway with a head and a face in Nandi City. He made me beg all day long on the streets, and let others bully me, in order to make me lose the face of my ancestors. ”

"What about the emperor, who is so indulgent in his ministers' misdeeds?"

Chen Dequan sighed, and his face was full of sadness.

"Since the concubine was favored and the crown prince was displaced, the emperor's body is getting worse day by day. When the crown prince had just turned eighteen, he had already begun to govern the court alone. ”

"In other words, from then on, the entire court has been the crown prince?"

Chen Dequan shook his finger.

Some people say that the prince is coercing the crown prince to monopolize the government, and his purpose is to abolish the crown prince and establish himself as the king when the emperor dies. ”

Shen Linfeng suddenly remembered the night when he heard that the emperor had died in Huashan City.

"And did he really do it?"

Chen Dequan nodded.

"Don't look at me begging all day long on the streets, but I know everything that happens in the court. When the emperor was critically ill. The Dongying Kingdom on the southern border of the Celestial Empire suddenly sent troops to make trouble, but at this time, the prince's behavior was very abnormal, he asked the border troops to stand still, and then sent the Yulin army, which was responsible for guarding the capital, to the border. ”

When I heard the news, I knew something was wrong, so I secretly contacted my old friend to discuss emergency measures. Because I sensed that the fox's tail was about to be exposed. ”

"And then?"

"It didn't take long for this to happen, and the emperor died. On that day, the whole court was sad, but the prince rushed into the council hall with a sword on his waist. ”

"What about the crown prince? he didn't ascend the throne?" asked Shen Linfeng.

Chen Dequan laughed dryly.

"The emperor died, and the prince sent someone to control the prince's mansion at the first time. ”

"However, the prince's plan still failed in the end, didn't he?"

Chen Dequan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, just when many officials thought that the dynasty was about to change hands. The six major earthquake-bian generals of the Celestial Empire suddenly appeared out of thin air, and each of them led more than 10,000 troops to the imperial capital, bluntly saying that they would protect the crown prince from ascending the throne!"

"Is this the work of a person?"

Chen Dequan shook his head and said: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are shocked, when there is no other than the first emperor, who else can invite these six Zhenbian generals? ”

Shen Linfeng nodded in a daze, and secretly said in his heart that this court was more complicated than the rivers and lakes.

"Then why are you showing me this today?" Shen Linfeng raised the blank paper in his hand.

Chen Dequan said with a straight face: "Because, I received the news. In one place, they found many soldiers with this pattern tattooed. ”

"Where?"

"Nanyang!"

"Wait...... You just said, soldier?"

"That's right, soldier!"

Shen Linfeng was taken aback, just now what Chen Dequan said, the water drop diagram was found in the prince's study. Even if these soldiers are not the prince's people, they are inextricably linked to the prince. But why did they appear in Nanyang at this time? Protecting the safety of the Nanyang rally? This is obviously impossible!

Because the prince has been training in secret for so many years, how can he easily dispatch his own housekeeper for the safety of a Jianghu assembly?

Shen Linfeng lowered his head in contemplation.

Chen Dequan no longer spoke.

Shen Linfeng imagined all kinds of possibilities in his mind. Suddenly, he remembered a few conversations......

"Who told me that the sect master of your Demon Sect must be from the Ulan Kingdom?" This is Qiu Ningxue overhearing Xu Zhenjiang's conversation with Qi Qiubai and Tianquan Hall Shen Gongzi.

"The power of the Demon Sect spreads throughout the Central Plains ......"

"Who is the head snake of the land, not necessarily?"

Shen Linfeng raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he remembered something terrifying.

Chen Dequan was startled and hurriedly asked, "Gong, Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Linfeng ignored his question, his eyes still staring ahead. His brow furrowed, and his thoughts raced......

He had a bold idea in his heart......

"Why did the imperial court let the Demon Sect enter the Central Plains, and why did it support the Jianghu assembly so openly. ”

"And why there are a large number of imperial soldiers in the southern suburbs and Qingling Lake. And why did the Demon Sect, which had just stepped into the Central Plains, dare to say that it would exterminate all the Central Plains sects in the Nanyang assembly. ”

If it is really as Shen Linfeng thought, then this kind of question will be explained......
