Chapter 686: King Jing (Fourth Watch)
After Tang Yan left the camp, he did not return directly to Fengdu Town, but sent Zheng Jianghe to the vicinity of the search team of Cold Moon Academy, gave him a few words of advice, and left alone. Moving in the western direction at the extreme speed of the eight-phase thunder seal, that is, the direction that Cang Hong instructed to reveal to Shura.
Every few kilometers left a few drops of the killer's or his own blood, or traces of battle, and every fifty kilometers left some clothes of the Venerable Qishui and the two killers, and even a broken finger, and finally until it reached the western edge, leaving a hosta of Su Qianluo.
Although these traces will be quickly buried by the sand, with the ability of the Shura Venerable, they should be able to be vaguely detected. The clues of Tang Yan's loss are very ingenious, trying to take into account all aspects, and making exquisite disguises.
It is believed to be enough to lure the Venerable Shura out of the wind-eroded hilly area.
This is not only to divert the attention of the Jingwang Mansion, but also to disguise their own existence and life and death, and bring them more distracting information.
After Tang Yan did this, he returned to Fengdu Town again, and it was almost dawn. After changing into tattered linen clothes and a grimace mask, he quietly returned to the inn.
However, the inn is obviously different from yesterday, or the town of Grace has changed.
A staggering number of black-armored warriors can be found in various areas, especially in the inn, where the queue of luxurious cars line up outside the inn.
The Six Princesses have arrived!
As many as 3,000 black-armored warriors were her escort troops.
As soon as Tang Yan entered the village, he was stared at by dozens of black-armored warriors, he didn't plan to leak anything, so he casually chose a dilapidated inn to live in, even so, the dozens of warriors still surrounded and did not disperse.
"The six princesses live in the inn, and there are three other martial venerables guarding them, one is a second-order martial venerable and two first-order martial venerables, and the lineup is not too strong. Brother Hei skillfully probed the situation, and in order to avoid arousing the vigilance of those martial artists, he didn't dare to investigate in too much detail.
"Where are the people from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land?"
"There is no entry into Grace Town, and there is no specific location to detect them, so they should be ambushed in some area. ā
"The sixth princess should have a secret guardian force, where is it?"
"Directly south of the Huangsha District, there are a few special breaths about ten kilometers away, but the specific situation is not very clear. Are you going to meet the Sixth Princess?
Tang Yan leaned back on the dilapidated wooden bed, was silent for a while, and said, "This is not a simple inspection task, the sixth princess should have her own calculations." But now there is a situation, the team of Jingwang Mansion is dead, and those who leave leave, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land can't wait for Jingwang Mansion, and it shouldn't be in a hurry.
What I'm worried about is...... The Jingwang Mansion will send more strong people after Su Qianshi can't be traced, and then things will be bigger and more chaotic. ā
"What are you going to do?" The black water locust didn't pay better attention, things were already very chaotic, and the Jingwang Mansion was not a small gang, there were still many masters inside, once the anger was touched, there were too many variables.
Tang Yan summoned the remaining spiritual source liquid from the golden lock, and there were only eighty-three king-level left, and he was silent for a long time: "Risk! Kill Shura!"
Sansheng Ancient City, Jingwang Mansion, Guanju Palace.
A majestic figure stood behind the bookcase with his hands in his hands, staring at the huge map spread across the wall, he was a majestic figure, wearing a purple carved brocade robe, a golden belt around his waist, and hanging an egg-sized piece of peiyu.
The man was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a bronze complexion, and his facial features were well-defined and deep, like Greek sculptures, and his eyes were dark and deep, which was as dark as seeing through the real world. He stood in front of the scroll with his hands in his hands, not angry and arrogant, and he was a kind of king who shocked the world.
He is King Jing, the emperor's half-brother and half-mother.
He has a prominent position and great power, above 10,000 people under one person, and ranks high in the court, but he is also ambitious.
Just because he was still young during the period of the change of the throne back then, he did not strive to grab the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he was full-fledged, and the current emperor has consolidated his hegemony, and his grace and power have spread to any region of the empire.
He could only forbear, could only retreat, accepted the emperor's reward, left the imperial capital, went to the ancient city of Sansheng, and founded the Jingwang Mansion.
Today's emperor can see his wisdom and city, and he can see his ambition, but in view of his parents' bloodline, the same father and mother, he can only let it go.
But...... He was not reconciled!
He is unwilling to miss the battle for the throne back then, unwilling to be subservient to the people for the rest of his life, and even more unwilling to sit only as a king of a hundred miles of territory, he wants to be the emperor of hundreds of millions of subjects!
"Lord Wang, I just got a report from Venerable Shura, and I have discovered the whereabouts of the woman and Venerable Qishui, they seem to be tracking Tang Yan, and according to the trajectory found so far, they may have broken away from the wind-eroded hills. An old man with white hair walked into the palace and bowed to King Jing.
"A little Tang Yan can make my Jingwang Mansion a wolf. Does he have three heads and six arms, or does he have the help of a saint?"
"Please forgive me, this time there was a small accident. The old man has served the prince for nearly a hundred years, and he can be regarded as a close confidant, but he is also cautious at the moment: "It is rumored that Tang Yan kidnapped his wife, and Venerable Guishui was restrained everywhere because of his concerns, and Tang Yan seized the opportunity to escape." ā
King Jing was silent with his hands, did not turn around, and did not speak again, but the atmosphere in the hall was as depressed as an abyss.
The old man's voice lowered slightly: "Venerable Shura is pursuing with all his might, I believe that good news will come back soon, please rest assured." ā
"Kill my son first, and then rob my concubine. A humble fanatic wants to become the nemesis of my Jingwang Mansion? Uncle Wang, do you feel ridiculous?"
"The prince is angry, this time by the Shura Venerable, he will definitely not let him escape again. The news sent back by the Shura sent back attached a secret letter, if Tang Yan threatened the woman again, and the situation was in crisis, he implored that the woman be destroyed together regardless of the woman, and that it would be important to kill Tang Yan. ā
King Jing lowered his eyebrows and was silent, and after a while, he said indifferently: "Accurate! Fight quickly! I want Tang Yan's head to pay tribute to my son." ā
"Yes! I will send someone to inform Shura as soon as possible. ā
"I don't want to hear any more news of defeat and let Shura weigh it himself. ā
"The six princesses have entered Fengdu Town in the early hours of last night, guarded by the three Venerables, and the rest of the secret guardians have not appeared for the time being, and we are doing our best to confirm their traces and specific strength. The Heavenly Demon Sanctuary had already rushed to the agreed ambush location, but since they didn't see our team, they changed their trajectory and sent us a question, saying that if we didn't take the initiative, they would terminate the operation.
According to the itinerary of the sixth princess, she will stay in Fengdu Town for five days before leaving. In other words, there are only seven days left until the time we agreed to shoot. If Shura can't rush over with Venerable Guishui and the others at the appointed time, the operation will be terminated.
I mention yƬ...... In order to ensure that the operation is foolproof, we will send another third-order Venerable, and if Shura can't arrive at that time, we can also give an explanation to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land and lead them to attack together. ā
Prince Jing didn't give any instructions, but asked back: "The little baby of the sixth princess should be able to expect that we will make a move, she only has a few cards in her hand, how can she insist on carrying out this mission? ā
"Is the prince worried about self-defeating?"
"Is there any movement on the royal side?"
"It's very calm, including the holy places and sects, and they haven't found out that they are involved with the six princesses. The old slave felt that the main result of the Sixth Duke was just to complete this inspection alive, and only needed to resist a possible sneak attack even if she succeeded, rather than fighting back or catching something. So...... As long as you can really be ruthless, there is no suspense in this matter, and it will be completed, and the six princesses will never be able to return to the Enwang Mansion. ā
The white-haired old man's tone was calm, but it was spicy and cold.
King Jing was silent, for some reason, he actually felt a little uneasy, this is a feeling that he has never felt in many years, not to mention that the opponent is still a female baby, and he is his own child!
The old man raised his head slightly, lowered his eyebrows and said, "If the prince feels inappropriate, the old slave is willing to come forward in person." The Heavenly Demon Holy Land sent out all the fanatics, they do things recklessly, if there is really any change, the old slave will deal with it properly, or...... Blame it all on the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. ā
"You can run it yourself, although the sixth princess is young, she is quite sophisticated in her way of doing things. I just got the exact news, many forces within the empire already know that she is patrolling the territory of the Enwang Mansion, and it may be that she is secretly spreading the news. In other words, if she has an accident in the middle of the process, anyone will suspect us. No matter what kind of cover-up is made, it is tantamount to a semi-public provocation, a provocation towards the royal family, and I don't want to see that. ā
"The old slave understands, please be patient, I will give you a satisfactory answer in seven days. The white-haired old man bowed and exited the room.
He understood the prince's concerns, and the original plan was perfect, if not silent, at least secret. But unexpectedly, the sixth princess used her network in the imperial city to make an ordinary trip to the uproar, informing various clans and families, and more and more people knew and began to pay attention, and openly or implicitly told people that they might be assassinated by a certain royal mansion, because the establishment of the Enwang Mansion touched the interests of some people.
This move to suppress public opinion directly pushed Jingwangfu to the wave.
Prince Jing originally didn't care about this, and he wasn't afraid of gossip, even if he killed the sixth princess with his own hands, the emperor couldn't shake his position in the empire, but ...... The prince is not ready to stiffen the relationship between the palace and the royal family to the point of inextricability.
So......
The prince's subconscious meaning should be to let go of the sixth princess, wait for the rumors to subside in the future, and then find other ways to kill her, at least at that time, so that the royal family will not catch any handles, or transfer the spearhead to other aspects.
But the white-haired old man is not a prince, he doesn't have so many worries, and sometimes, he also needs to secretly deal with some things that the prince has concerns about and is difficult to decide. He decided to go over in person, whether to kill or not, whether to blame the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, or to frame the Sand Waterfall mercenary group, it depends on the situation.
PS: Four more are offered, and there are still ......
