Chapter 91: The royal family is in turmoil
Kang Yi, who returned to his residence from the secret contact point, savored the news that he had just gotten, and after Fang Cai's investigation, Kang Yi knew that this mission was much more tricky than he imagined. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the old emperor who is about to die has no major achievements and no major mistakes in his life, he is considered an emperor of the mean, but there is one thing that is praised by the people and courtiers of the world, that is, the emperor who is not the concubine of the three palaces and eight courtyards, but this emperor is an infatuated person, and he married a harem lord and two concubines for life, this phenomenon is difficult to find.
The old emperor's harem is less and there are naturally fewer children, there are only five in total, they are the eldest son born to the queen, that is, the prince who is now nearly fifty years old in the southern foothills - Bai Jingong, the next two princes and the third prince are born to one of the concubines, as for the remaining two are dragon and phoenix fetuses, this is naturally born to the remaining concubine, but it is worth mentioning that the man in this dragon and phoenix fetus is Kangyi's fellow Bai Jinlin.
Kang Yi not only heard these news at the contact point, but also knew the secret of the three imperial brothers of Bai Jinlin, although the southern foothills of the country belonged to the jurisdiction of Chaoyang Sect, but Chaoyang Sect adopted the management method of inaction for its territory, as long as the new emperor bowed down to Chaoyang Sect and did not pay the corresponding items, he generally would not interfere too much in mundane matters, so which of these three princes became the emperor is the same for Chaoyang Sect, so the three princes compete for the throne is doing everything, and all three of them want to kill each other, and the means used are simply outrageous。
Moreover, the shopkeeper of the contact point also privately told Kang Yi that the three princes who were vying for the throne had also hired loose cultivators or evil cultivators, and it was not excluded that they had also invited people on the Red Cloud List, but Kang Yi was unhappy when he heard the news, and this task did not say that it would be so tricky.
However, it seems that the shopkeeper of the contact point got the benefits of the old emperor, and when he saw that Kang Yi was unhappy, he immediately took out a superior protective armor, saying that the old emperor compensated the Chaoyang Sect people who took over the task this time, in fact, this is also understandable, if the old emperor truthfully told the Chaoyang Sect that several of his sons invited foreign monks to help for the throne, and there may be evil cultivators among them, then the Chaoyang Sect may carry out a purge of the entire royal family, and the Bai family will not be able to please the Bai family at that time, so they dare not say it clearly on the task, and use this thing to block the mouths of the people who came to help stabilize the situation。
What surprised Kang Yi even more was that the old emperor didn't want to pass the throne to the three princes, but wanted to pass it on to Bai Jinyun, that is, Bai Jinlin's sister, of course, these words were told to Kang Yi by the shopkeeper of the old emperor's contact point, and bluntly said that if Bai Jinyun became the empress, he would immediately give Kang Yi another hundred spirit stones, and as for the monk who took over this task, it was Bai Jinlin, who had a direct relationship with the Bai family's royal family.
After getting the news, Kang Yi, who was about to leave, suddenly asked the shopkeeper about the relationship between Bai Jinwen and the royal family, it turned out that this Bai Jinwen was not called this name before entering the Chaoyang Sect, and the specific name of the shopkeeper is nowhere to check, it is said that Bai Jinwen was originally just a maid in the palace, and was only given a Bai family surname by the previous emperor after being found to have a spiritual root, and Bai Jinlin's current mother is Bai Jinwen's sister, and Bai Jinwen is Bai Jinlin's aunt, I don't know why these two people are called brother and sister in the sect.
Kang Yi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the high-grade spirit armor he had just gotten, there were only thirty spiritual power nodes inside this spirit armor, which was the worst of the high-grade spirit weapons, but it was much better for the medium-grade broken spirit armor that Kang Yi had picked up from Wang Dechan's corpse.
And then there are those monks who came to help, with the financial and material resources of those princes, they should not invite any powerful monks, it is great to have the sevenfold qi training, as for whether there are any powerful monks on the red cloud list, Kang Yi can't judge now, with Kang Yi's current strength, as long as he doesn't meet the monks at the top level of qi training, he still has a chance to escape, which is why Kang Yi learned that this task was tricky but still stayed.
As for the old emperor's additional proposal to let a woman ascend the throne, it is not without precedent in the southern foothills, but most of the current ordinary people are influenced by orthodox Confucianism, and it is even more difficult for them to accept an empress, which is still debatable for Kang Yi.
After clearing his mind, Kang Yi meditated again until noon on the next day.
Kang Yi went downstairs and ordered a table of good wine and food, but he drank it alone, and the delicacy of this mundane world was really far better than Bigu Dan, I don't know how many times.
Just when Kang Yi was eating the food in the world, three richly dressed people walked in from outside, one woman and two men among the three, the three of them went straight to the counter and asked for three good guest rooms, and then went up, Kang Yi didn't look at the three people when they came in, but before the three people stepped into the door, Kang Yi's vigilance was aroused, the woman's cultivation was the highest six-fold cultivation of qi, and the other two men also had the cultivation of five-fold qi, and the three of them had to attract Kang Yi's attention when they came to this Xiangyang City at this time. After the three of them entered their respective rooms, there was no movement, Kang Yi squinted and ate the food on the table, but his consciousness was fully open.
Now Kangyi's divine consciousness has been able to reach more than forty zhang, and it is a piece of cake to explore the three people upstairs, and soon after the three people entered, they found that the woman in the middle tore herself against the wooden wall that divided the room, and a hole was created, and then the five qi practitioners next door drilled into the woman's room from the torn opening, and the woman tore at the other wall in the same way, and the three of them gathered in the middle room.
"Boss, did Bai Jingong really ask me to wait for eighty spirit stones to help?" asked one of the people who entered the room at the back.
"Hmph, he dares to deceive me into waiting for the three saints of Aoi Mountain, have you eaten the gall of a leopard!" said another man disdainfully.
"Second brother, I have been practicing on the mountain all year round, and I have few ordinary people in contact, anyway, I know that this royal person is all mouthful, and they tell more lies than the three of us combined, so we can't easily believe it" The man who began to speak lowered his head and said again.
"The third child is reasonable, so I have to put the spirit stone in my hand before I can rest assured, even if I don't take it all, it is necessary to take half of it first" The woman at the head was silent for a while before speaking.
"Can he afford it? I know that today's crown prince Bai Jingong not only invited me to the three saints of Kwaishan, but also invited the old ghost of Kuxiao Folin Chan, as well as the white-faced Xiucai Hu Xiaoyuan, I estimate that he will have to help him ascend the throne, and he can only afford it after mastering the treasury of the Nanlu Kingdom" The youngest one said his guess.
"No matter what, I want him to give half first, it's okay if there is no half, if not, we will leave immediately, you must know that this is the territory of Chaoyang Sect, if someone finds out that we are involved in the royal family dispute, I am afraid that we will not have good fruit to eat" The woman at the head said this very decisively, and then the other two did not speak, and retreated to their respective rooms.
Kang Yi didn't think that he could find out about the tail of the eldest prince Bai Jingong after having a meal here, he didn't eat this meal, returned to his room, and watched the three people wholeheartedly, now it is the day of the day, and it must be at night to do these unsightly things, so Kang Yi guessed that these three people would see Bai Jingong tonight, and when the time came, they would find out a lot of news.
Sure enough, the moon hung high, and the three of them opened the windows and went up to the roof to the south.
