Gan Long stroked his beard and sighed, "Yes, if these seven treasures disappear from now on, then there will naturally be a lot less killing in the martial arts." ”

"Linfeng knows that my predecessors will definitely understand what I mean. ”

Gan Long chuckled and nodded, and then asked, "Now that you know this clue, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Linfeng said with a straight face: "Anyway, I don't know where the next treasure is hidden, so we just pretend that we have never seen this clue." ”

"Wouldn't that be a pity?"

What Gan Long meant by this, Shen Linfeng naturally understood, and he opened his mouth and said: "Although it is a pity that the treasure is dusty, it is the source of all greed. Moreover, there are strong foreign enemies in the Central Plains Martial Arts, so they must not kill each other because of this, and let the Demon Sect reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Gan Long was full of smiles, and seemed to be a little excited. He patted Shen Linfeng's shoulder, feeling very relieved.

"From the first time I saw you at the Silver Spring Inn, I knew that you kid was not an ordinary person. ”

Shen Linfeng was confused.

"As Linfeng said when I first met my seniors, the younger generations are just ordinary travelers in the rivers and lakes. ”

Gan Long smiled and shook his head.

"I'm afraid that the life and death of the Central Plains Martial Arts depends on you, an ordinary traveler!" After speaking, Gan Long was about to walk out of the secret room. But as soon as the stone door turned, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

"By the way, an old friend of yours is waiting for you in the waterhole below. When you're done, go see him. Perhaps, he will have something that interests you?" After saying that, Gan Long smiled mysteriously and turned to leave.

"Old friend?" Shen Linfeng muttered as he looked at Gan Long's departing back.

"Will there be my old friend here?" Shen Linfeng thought about it, but couldn't figure out who this "old friend" was.

He glanced at the rejuvenation book on the table, and secretly said that this Ganlong really likes to sell Guanzi. Then, Shen Linfeng straightened his clothes and walked towards the outside of the secret room.

Out of the cave, the deafening sound of running water came again. Shen Linfeng had just walked out of behind the current when he saw a figure standing on the edge of the pool.

Through the faint moonlight, Shen Linfeng could see that this person's back was slightly bent, and his long hair was scattered behind his head. He wore heavy cotton clothes and trousers, but he wore a pair of conspicuous official boots on his feet.

"Old beggar?" Shen Linfeng exclaimed.

The old beggar slowly turned around when he heard the sound, he looked at Shen Linfeng in front of him, and changed his previous crazy style. He clenched his hands into fists and bent his waist slightly. Between the gestures, they are all just right.

"I've seen Childe!" 's voice was deep, not at all similar to what he had spoken before.

Shen Linfeng glanced left and right, still a little uncertain in his heart.

"You're looking for me?"

"That's right, I have some things that I want to talk to Childe about alone......"

"About what?"

"About my ...... Identity!"

The old beggar glanced at Shen Linfeng meaningfully, and then said, "My real name is Chen, and my name is Dequan." Is...... The crown prince and the prince!"

Shen Linfeng was taken aback.

Although he doesn't know much about the official system of the imperial court, he knows very well what the status of this prince is. Isn't that the teacher of the current emperor?"

After thinking about it, Shen Linfeng looked at the "old beggar" in front of him again. He once thought that this person was definitely extraordinary, but he never expected it to be so extraordinary.

"I've seen Mr. Chen, I have offended a lot before, please bear with me!" Shen Linfeng said.

Chen Dequan hurriedly returned the gift.

For people like me, who can only survive by pretending to be crazy and stupid, there is nothing to offend at all. ”

"That'...... I'm afraid that the gentleman came to me today not just to tell me your identity, right?"

"That's right, the matter I want to tell you about is related to the entire imperial court and the entire martial arts. ”

Shen Linfeng put away his smiling face and quietly waited for Chen Dequan's next words.

"Childe, have you heard of another third prince in the capital?"

Shen Linfeng said with a smile: "Not only have I heard of it, but I have also dealt with it several times. It's just that we've never seen each other!"

Chen Dequan nodded.

"This third prince is the brother of the former emperor, although the two were not born to the same mother, but the former emperor regarded him as his own siblings. ”

"His name is Lin Yuliang, this person is good at strategy, and the city is very deep. He advocated that the first emperor should abolish the elder and establish the young, and let the son of Jing Concubine ascend to the throne of the crown prince. ”

"Then who is this concubine?" Shen Linfeng couldn't help but ask.

"This woman was also dedicated to the emperor by Lin Yuliangjin. Since she entered the palace, she has been quite loved by the emperor. Coupled with the fact that the prince dredged up the relationship behind his back, the limelight of the concubine soon overshadowed the queen at that time. ”

"The favor of the concubine made the calm harem set off a monstrous wave again. She fought openly and secretly with the queen for several years, but the queen was not her opponent after all. So, in the tenth year of Jing Concubine entering the palace, the queen died. The cause of her death has always been a mystery in the harem. ”

In the second year, the eldest son, who lost his mother, was abolished as the crown prince by the emperor under the design of Jing Concubine. As for the new crown prince, it naturally fell on the son of Jing Concubine. ”

"At that time, the civil and military officials tried their best to obstruct the abolition of the elder and the young, but the three princes were high and powerful, and they were ruthless. The officials who took the lead in obstructing it were either dismissed or died tragically at home. So a grand meeting of hundreds of officials, without even seeing the emperor's face, it was over. ”

"It is a foregone conclusion that the abolition of the long and the young. Since the ministers are powerless to change, they can only accept it gladly. Since then, the prince has entrusted him to serve as the crown prince. ”

Shen Linfeng listened to it for a long time, and it was nothing more than talking about some things in the imperial city. He didn't really care about that.

"Didn't Mr. just say that this matter is still about the entire martial arts?

Chen Dequan also seemed to feel that he had said too much off-topic, he put his hand into the cotton coat, and after groping for a long time, he took out a handkerchief from inside.

He carefully dismantled it, and then took out a yellowed white piece of paper from inside. He glanced at Shen Linfeng and put it in his hand.

Shen Linfeng didn't know why, and slowly opened it. When he saw the pattern on the paper, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

I saw that on the white paper, there was a pattern in the shape of five water droplets. The water droplets gather around and together look like a flower.

The reason why Shen Linfeng was so surprised was because the patterns on this paper were exactly the same as the patterns he saw in the "training ground" and "armory" in the maze forest.

What Shen Linfeng thought at the time was that someone had secretly hoarded soldiers and horses here. Now it seems...... Could it be that this hoarder of soldiers and horses is the current Three Princes?
