Chapter 477: Quid pro quo

In order to prevent more unfavorable factors, Wan Peng let Xie Ting return to the fire and thunder space again. At the same time, Lan Jia is still in the Fire and Thunder Space, because now after such a long war, the King of Zifu has not openly searched for Lan Jia's whereabouts, which is not in line with the normal practice of being a father. Therefore, Langa still needs very effective protection.

Yi Qian is not optimistic about Wanpeng's trip. However, he only suggested from the perspective of a bystander. Wan Peng's decision has never been changed.

Along the way, the land of Zifu, which has experienced war, has more or less traces of gunsmoke. Security has deteriorated again in some areas, and some villages have been destroyed by local bandits in Zifu.

Of course, there are more "anti-demon teams" one by one. Objectively speaking, the acceptance of the demon in the Purple Mansion is not high, and if it weren't for the previous king's strong support, it is likely that he would still not be able to stand up publicly. Now, this situation has returned, and some of the demons' small strongholds, as well as other buildings built by demons except for the Aura Tower, have all been destroyed.

And in the city of Zifu, there is also an obvious depression. In the city of Zifu, the demons still have considerable forces that have not withdrawn, and the attack of the ape clan on the demons has not extended to the interior of the city. However, the relationship between the demon and Zixiao's native personnel has become very delicate, and no matter who sees whom, they are far away.

The Purple Mansion Palace, from the outside, is still so solemn. But Wan Peng sighed in his heart, and he didn't know if this was a human face that didn't know where to go, and the peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze.

The summons of the king of Zifu was arranged in the main hall of the palace of the main city of Zifu, and there were more than a dozen ministers on both sides, all standing solemnly. The King of the Purple Mansion sat on the top seat, with a calm expression on his face, calmly watching Wan Peng approach.

Wan Peng has seen a lot of this kind of formation, so there is no stage fright. He walked to a suitable position in the middle and bowed slightly, "Great King." I am Wan Peng, a cultivator from Xuanxiao, and I have to go to Jinxiao to track down an incident in our Xuanxiao, so I have to borrow the Purple Mansion. I hope the king will give me the way to the sky. ”

The King of the Purple Mansion snorted, "Well, Wan Peng, I've heard this name a long time ago. Previously, you took the third prince Lan Jia to escape and return from Qingdu, and at the same time assisted Shu San and others to ensure the safety of the third prince. You have credit for these things. ”

There was something in his words, and Wan Peng himself could naturally hear it. To have merit in those things implies that you may have done it in other things.

Wan Peng smiled slightly, "Wan Peng is a newcomer, he doesn't understand the rules of the Purple Mansion, and there may be some things that are not in line with the king's wishes, so please don't blame the king." ”

The King of Zifu grinned, not knowing if he was laughing, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all in the past." I have summoned you this time mainly to ask you something. Where is the third prince, Lan Jia, now?"

Wan Peng still smiled and said, "King, the third prince Lan Jia is now in a very safe place, please rest assured." When all the unstable factors in the Purple Mansion are eliminated, I will send the third prince back. He knew that if the king didn't respond to his suggestion to go to Jinxiao, he would definitely not want to talk about this topic anymore, so he didn't ask anymore, but he also seemed to have a handle, and he was vague about the specific whereabouts of the third prince Lan Jia.

The King of Zifu didn't seem to be satisfied with Wan Peng's statement, "Now that the war is over, the insecurity has been eliminated in general." As long as the Ape Clan does not invade, the Purple Mansion will be safe. ”

Wan Peng glanced at the ministers around him, intentionally or unintentionally, "But when the second prince of the eldest prince was assassinated, and when the third prince was threatened, the Ape Clan did not invade. ”

The King of the Purple Mansion nodded slowly, "That's right. Wan Peng, it seems that you know a lot of things, and you also have your own opinions. Now above the main hall, I don't have much to say. You come with me. The others waited and dispersed on their own. ”

The king got up directly, turned a screen, and left the hall from behind. Wan Peng knew that this was the time to get to the point, and it was also the most dangerous time he would face, so he took a deep breath and quickly followed.

After the King of the Purple Mansion walked out of a section, he entered a passage. The entrances and exits of the passage are guarded by soldiers, and at the end, there is a secret room, and then enter, only he and Wan Peng are left. The King of the Purple Mansion turned around at this time, his eyes staring at Wan Peng, "Wan Peng, hmm." Wan Peng. Very good. ”

A hint of anger gradually rose in his eyes, "You want to go to Jinxiao? Well, that's good." But if you go to your Jinxiao, do you know that your appearance has made the current Zifu a mess! If it weren't for you, maybe the Zifu would be peaceful in the world and the people would be happy. ”

Wan Peng was of course not convinced by such words, and said, "Who is it, I think, the king himself must be clear." The king summoned me this time, I am afraid that he did not want to discuss anything, nor did he seek Prince Lanjia, but to settle accounts with me. ”

"Hmph, hahaha......" The King of the Purple Mansion laughed very presumptuously, "Settle accounts, it seems that you have a fairly clear understanding of the situation." ”

Wan Peng nodded, "That's right. As a demon, the king wants to make the demon recognized in Zixiao, first become a legal resident on the surface, and then slowly control Zixiao, I am afraid that he has been planning for a long time. And during this period, whether it is killing two princes, or you yourself being taken captive, or rebels, or rebels, it should be concocted by the king. Of course, maybe according to the plan, Lan Jia should have died too, but the ape rebelled in the middle and changed your plan. ”

The expression on the face of the King of the Purple Mansion became a little stiff, "You say I'm a demon?"

Wan Peng nodded, "That's right." Since I can find the only demon from the Council of Elders, I can also determine your identity, Great King. Of course, I say this only in the case of the two of us. Whether you replaced the original King of the Purple Mansion or whether you were the original King of the Purple Mansion in the first place, I can't be sure. Therefore, I will not reveal your identity rashly. ”

The King of Zifu said, "It seems that you really have the means, and you are also very scheming. It's just a pity that you don't seem to be going to die for me. If I have a good general like you, the great cause will be accomplished in the near future. And in this way, destroying the Rift Valley and organizing the army of the Apes, at least you are all involved. ”

Wan Peng nodded slowly, "The king is right. Yin and Yang, there should not be aura, nor should it be ruled by demons. Now, Zixiao's aura is decreasing, and the demon no longer has the possibility of making a comeback. Although I was a passerby, I did a good thing for Zixiao. ”

The King of the Purple Mansion snorted coldly, "Then you are not afraid, I will kill you now?"

Wan Peng shook his head and said, "I believe the king won't." The king is a demon, even if he plans to make a comeback in the future, he still has to maintain his rule over the Purple Mansion and maintain people's trust in you. If I die here, wouldn't the king be passive in speech? I think the king came to me for one of the purposes of wanting to know where Lan Jia was, and the second purpose was to spread things out with me and put them on paper. Because the king actually didn't want me to stay in Zixiao. ”

"That's right. The King of the Purple Mansion actually sighed, "My plan is seamless, but at the end of the day, there is a friend like you." At the same time, you're nosy. There are some signs that killing you is not a good idea. So, I could have arranged for you to leave Zixiao. The problem is that you have destroyed the Rift Valley, and without the passage, there is nothing I can do about it. Unless, you can restore the supply of aura in Rift Valley. When the time comes, you go to your Jinxiao, and I will leave my Purple Mansion. What do you think?"

Wan Peng knew that this was the true intention of the King of the Purple Mansion, so he didn't answer immediately. He knew that, in some ways, the proposal was reasonable. There is actually no fundamental conflict between him and the King of the Purple Mansion, including with the demons, and the conditions thrown by the King of the Purple Mansion have a certain temptation.

However, this is not the best option. The large number of casualties of the ape clan has been exchanged for the current decline of the demons, and if the supply of spiritual energy is restored, the situation may change immediately. At that time, or later, Zixiao will definitely fall into fire and water again.

"I'm sorry to tell you, my lord. Rift valleys are irreversible. The lake in the entire rift valley is a complete formation system. Previously, you destroyed the aura restriction so that the aura could flow out, and did not touch the formation of the island in the middle of the lake. And this time, all the formations have been completely destroyed, and I have no ability to repair them. Wan Peng did not mention that he had obtained the green stone, because he was afraid that the king of the Purple Mansion would have new ideas when he learned about the stone.

"Bastard!" Wan Peng suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and he felt like he was stuck in the neck and pressed against the wall behind him. When he looked at it again, it was the King of the Purple Mansion who had a demonic mist wrapped around his arm, which stuck his neck.

The eyes of the King of the Purple Mansion had turned blood-red, "You! It's because of you! I worked hard to lay out the game carefully, and it was ruined! If it weren't for the fact that you now have a certain reputation in the Purple Mansion as a foundation, I really want to kill you now!"

Wan Peng was slightly shocked in his heart, because judging from the moment just now, the King of the Purple Mansion had quite strong strength. If you really want to fight, it is unlikely that you will win, that is, you will break away, and you may not be able to retreat with your whole body. But obviously, the king of Zifu is still restraining his emotions, and he doesn't want to be suspicious and alienated by his ministers and people because of the devil, and when the time comes, he will use Wan Peng's death at the hands of the king as an excuse to cause any more trouble.

Taking a deep breath, the King of the Purple Mansion let go of Wan Peng and paced two steps. "Forget it. Then I would like to propose one more quid pro quo. I'll try to get the Space Authority to send you away. And after you leave, you must no longer express any attitude towards the internal affairs of my Zifu, and you must not come back to interfere in any matters of Zixiao. How's that going?"
