Looking back at the magnificent hall, King Chengtian frowned, and his eyes were full of contemplation.

Over the years, the imperial family has tried to lay out the military, but it has not gone well.

Your Majesty is more cautious.

He is still willing to try, but he must see hope and feasibility.

Therefore, this chess piece needs to break out on its own in order to be eligible to enter the chessboard.

Otherwise, it is better to destroy it and avoid damaging the majesty of the imperial family.

After His Majesty made his attitude clear about this matter, he could only remain silent and wait for the final outcome.

It depends on whether the dark lord Ning Qin is fighting for luck!

......

With the arrival of the imperial palace guards, the palace returned to quiet.

As Li Zhou thought, there is no one in the Western Wilderness who dares to provoke His Majesty head-on.

But he knew in his heart that the Lord of Darkness couldn't after all, he had been hiding here, and he still had to go out.

But at the very least, it will give him some time to prepare and organize.

"Ning Qin, I have asked to meet the previous Emperor of the Wilderness to see if I can ask him to come forward and ease the relationship with the Hou Ye family. ”

Li Zhou spoke slowly, but he was unsure in his heart.

Chan let the abdication of the emperor rarely interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, especially involving the military.

But that was the only way he could think of right now.

As for Li Zhou, even if his status as the Sixth Highness has been restored and he is qualified to compete for the throne, it is not enough to make the Hou Ye family jealous.

He is self-aware of this.

Qin Yu arched his hand, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

He frowned slightly, his expression heavy.

Even if they didn't say it, they both knew that things wouldn't be so simple.

Moreover, until this moment, there was no news from the Imperial Palace, and this silence revealed something unusual.

What's more, the Hundred Trace True Saint and the Heavenly King behind it are also not moving at this juncture.

Did he want to break out on his own and put it to the test? If this is the case, blindly huddled in the palace is the next resort.

What to do?

Qin Yu's thoughts turned rapidly, and he gradually had some consideration in his heart...... Well, wait for them to do it!

......

The forbidden army of the imperial palace was stationed in the palace, which made Li Zhou's status improved in the eyes of all parties.

At least this shows that the Sixth Highness who was in trouble has completely turned over, and has even received a certain amount of recognition from His Majesty the Desolate Emperor.

Then next, their attitude towards Li Zhou will also be adjusted accordingly, and the future succession of the throne will be a little more confusing.

But in the eyes of discerning people, Li Zhou is facing a huge test at the moment.

If the dark lord Ning Qin Heng died, it would be a major blow to his prestige, and no one would want to get close to him anymore, even if he got out of trouble, he would have no chance in the future.

So, it's not just about killing people and seeking revenge.

......

"It's not just killing. The eldest princess looked indifferent, and her eyes were like a quiet lake, "The Hou Ye family wants to take revenge, and it is also showing its attitude and resisting the imperial family's excessive interference in the military." ”

"And the main hall is to ease the relationship with the Hou Ye family, and it is also to knock Li Zhou into the dust again, not giving him any hope. ”

She turned around and looked at the Imperial Palace from afar, her eyes showed awe, and there was some ridicule, "Although Your Majesty has already passed on his will, he still wants to do another trial to see if Ning Qin, the master of darkness, has the qualifications to become a chess piece." ”

"Therefore, to kill him, you must be quick, before the arrival of the imperial palace's decree, within the time frame of your majesty's acquiescence. ”

There is another point that Princess Celestia did not say.

This incident is also a test for her.

Successfully killing Ning Qin proves that this chess piece is not qualified, and what he did before can be erased and not investigated.

Otherwise, disobey Your Majesty

Will, even if she is a princess, comes at a price.

That's the rule!

The person behind him frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely handle this matter." ”

The eldest princess nodded, "If the palace wants you to make a move, it naturally believes you." Go ahead, do it well, and what I promise yours will come true. ”

"Please wait for good news, Your Highness!"

Footsteps sounded, and quickly walked away.

On the indifferent face of the eldest princess, there was a trace of helplessness and self-deprecation, if she had no choice, she would not want to take risks.

But...... There is no turning back from the bow!

The darkness dominates Ning Qin and must die.

......

In the case of the Mausoleum of the Western Barbarian Emperor, Ye Qinheng, one of the two main generals of the Imperial Capital Garrison Division, died.

Of course, it was announced to the public that Ye Qin died in a secret operation of the empire, and the specific details would not be revealed.

As a master and a powerhouse, a heavy general in the army, and a cultivator of the old Ye family, his death is destined not to be silent.

The invocation ceremony is scheduled for two days later.

This is a treatment that only those who are military generals and have sufficient status are eligible to enjoy.

After his death, his heroic spirit is immortal, injected into the soul of the imperial army, and is blessed by the fortune of the empire to live forever.

Only those who are of high status, or who have an old relationship with the deceased, and who are relatively close to each other, may be invited.

And once the invitation is received, those who participate in the invocation ceremony regard it as honor.

Because this is the recognition given by the heroic spirit of a general who died in battle for the great cause of the empire.

As the prince, Li Zhou returned to the sequence of competition for the throne, and it was natural for him to participate in the spirit summoning ceremony.

This represents the attitude of the imperial family, as well as respect for the military!

But Qin Yu actually received an invitation from the Lao Ye family, which was very wrong.

"There's a problem!" Li Yiyi frowned, worried, "You and Ye Qin obviously don't have much intersection, and the Ye family invites you to go, I'm afraid there will be an accident." ”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, "Your Highness, I can't refuse. ”

Having clearly understood the meaning of the spirit summoning ceremony, of course he knew that refusal was equivalent to the greatest insult to Ye Qin.

will completely push the old Ye family to the opposite side and become his enemy.

Just imagine, the imperial clan tried to lay out the chess pieces of the military, but before it really landed, it had already convicted the two Ye families at the same time, what future is there?

It is even possible for the imperial palace to directly abandon Qin Yu and change the established plan.

The imperial clan did try to strengthen its voice in the army, but it definitely did not want to create a rift with the military.

The reason is very simple, and you can understand it when you think about it.

Li Zhou smiled bitterly, because what Qin Yu said was right, even if he knew that there was a problem, he knew that there would be an accident.

can be invited from the old Ye family to participate in Ye Qin's spirit summoning ceremony, and the dark lord can't refuse.

Knowing that it is a fire pit and a trap, you have to jump into it head-on!

"Ning Qin, this hall will do its best to help you, and during the spirit summoning ceremony, if someone tries to make trouble, the Hou Ye family will not allow it. ”

"Be careful, it might be fine. ”

Qin Yu nodded and didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that this was just Li Zhou's wishful thinking.

The other party has already made a move, and naturally laid out a plan, but I don't know what they are going to do.

Soon, the day of the invocation ceremony has arrived.

Li Zhou was dressed in black and reckless, his expression was very calm, and the things that the eldest princess could think of, as a party he knew better.

If something happens to Ning Qin, the dark master, he will also be unlucky, but there are some things that he is powerless.

"Let's go!"

With a low sigh, Li Zhou stepped into the carriage, and Qin Yu followed behind.

Around the carriage, there are eight imperial palace guards, and they can be eliminated with them, and they can be stopped on the way back and forth

was assassinated.

The journey went smoothly, and when the Hou Ye family's mansion was visible, the carriage took the initiative to stop.

Li Zhou got out of the car first, his eyes swept the surroundings, and he saw that the big trees on both sides of the road were all hung with white silk.

The atmosphere was low and oppressive.

At that moment, another carriage stopped not far away.

Feeling something, Li Zhou turned his head to look, his face changed slightly, and his eyes showed jealousy.

But this expression only lasted for a very short time, he coughed lightly and smiled, and bowed, "Brother Li Zhou, I have seen the eldest sister." ”

The eldest princess looked flat, her eyes paused behind him, nodded and took the lead towards the mansion.

Qin Yu didn't expect that he would actually meet the eldest princess like this, although it was the Hou Ye family who wanted to kill him, but it was the eldest princess who did it.

The two sides are mortal enemies!

"It's almost time, let's get over too. Li Zhou coughed lightly, gave Qin Yu a look, and walked away.

The reason why the old Ye family occupies the word "old" is because of its long heritage, and this vein has existed before the Zhou clan, the emperor of the Western Wilderness, has been in charge of the country.

No one knows how deep the roots of this big tree are in the territory of the empire, and how much power it hides in the dark.

But any surname that can have a place in the imperial capital understands a truth - in the face of the mansion in front of him, he must maintain enough awe at any time.

Li Zhou was outside the main gate, and after taking Qin Yu to salute respectfully, he stepped into it solemnly and came to the place where the spirit calling ceremony was held.

Eyes converged from all directions, looking at the two people who came.

Most of them were looking at Qin Yu in the back, with indifference in their exploration.

His identity, his situation, is not a secret to the owners of these eyes.

To be honest, they are not optimistic about Qin Yu.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be this attitude.

"Sixth brother, you're here!" a calm voice sounded, and a calm face came into view.

Li Zhou arched his hand, "Fourth brother." ”

nodded to a few people around him, shouting "second brother", "fifth sister", "seventh brother" and so on.

The princes and princesses of the Western Wilderness have almost arrived.

Qin Yu's eyes swept over, his expression was calm, and his heart was also very calm.

He has long been ready to deal with all the troubles, and since His Majesty the Western Wilderness wants to test, then he will hand in a report card.

The better the performance, the more valued it will be in the future, which is fair!

"This is Ning Qin, the Lord of Darkness? Yes, if you have a chance in the future, you can come to our palace to drink. His Royal Highness smiled and spoke, lowering his voice, "Folded ears are my little sister who grew up together since childhood, and if you save her, this palace owes you a favor." ”

Qin Yu arched his hand, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

There was a bit of sincerity and provocation in these words, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

If he can succeed, he can jump out of the circle of the imperial capital, and from then on, the sky will be high.

Li Zhou could take advantage of it, Qin Yu was a vain snake, and as for the battle between these princes and princesses, he didn't care.

The Fourth Highness smiled, turned around and said, "Sixth brother, I don't want to dig into your corner, you must believe the fourth brother." ”

Li Zhou smiled and nodded, as for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

A group of people looked detached, and the atmosphere of the whispered conversation was harmonious, Qin Yu's afterglow swept over the eldest princess, her expression was cold and indifferent, and she didn't seem to care about everything in front of her.

Suddenly, the eldest princess tilted her head slightly, and the two met their eyes.

One is cold, the other is calm.

Knock –

A soft sound came out, breaking the stares between the two sides.

The Ye family has arrived!
