With a thought in his mind, Ding Hao withdrew his consciousness, hiding in the void, and suddenly sighed.
Through the investigation just now, he found that there are two formations in total, one big and one small.
The big one is outside, the small one is hidden inside.
"The two formations are intertwined and extremely mysterious. Once someone steps in, even someone like Ding Hao, who is hiding in the void, will touch the formation and be trapped in it.
Of course, if Ding Hao wants to, he can forcefully break this formation, but in this case, another small formation will be triggered and everything in it will be destroyed.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And it also alerts the imperial guards, and even calls in the leader of the [Nine Spirit Clan]. In this way, it is impossible for Ding Hao to quietly take away the tome.
Unable to go in and destroy the formation, Ding Hao could only give up temporarily and leave here in frustration.
After leaving the palace, he still didn't attract any attention and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as she returned to the room, Xie Yue got up leisurely and said, "Okay, no need to ask. Looking at you, I know you didn't get the secret book."
"There is a formation there. I can't untie it, nor can I force it open." Ding Hao sighed slightly.
"Then what should we do now?" Xie Yue asked while washing her face with her little paws.
¡°There is nothing we can do for the time being, we have to think about it carefully¡¡± Ding Hao shook his head.
at the same time¡ª¡ª
The Prince's Mansion, in the inner hall.
Two figures were sitting opposite each other, with nervous expressions and low voices, as if they were discussing something.
These two people are none other than Prince Rongfu and Wusun¡¯s military advisor.
"My father is now old. Even though he is still the strongest person in our [Nine Spirit Clan], his health is deteriorating. I am afraid that it will not be long before otherwise, my father will not start to choose the successor. Originally, once my father takes over Damn, it was supposed to be me, the prince, who ascended the throne, but now" Prince Rongfu seemed to be mumbling to himself, or complaining.
"Your Highness is worried aboutthe third prince?" Wusun Liuce seemed to have noticed something and asked.
When he heard 'Third Prince', Prince Rongfu's face suddenly sank, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded after a long time: "The second brother Rongji, and the fourth brother Rongyi, although they are not stupid, and their power is not bad, but they are different from each other. Compared to me, he is very young and poses no threat to me, but this third brother"
It turns out that the patriarch of the [Nine Spirit Tribe] has four sons, namely Rong Fu and the four of them. Since the old patriarch began to have health problems, these four young patriarchs have been coveting the position of patriarch, and among them the most threatening to the prince. The person is the third brother he just mentioned, Rong Si.
"Rongsi is extremely talented, forbearing and gloomy, and has countless masters under his command. He has always been eyeing my position as the crown prince, and even my father's throne. I think that once my father goes west, I'm afraid he will Know how to take action, seize my throne, and control the divine weapon" At this point, the cold light in his eyes became even colder.
Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sighed: "If I had known, I should have listened to your words, military advisor, and got rid of the third brother as soon as possible. If I had not always taken care of the brotherhood, I would not have raised a tiger to cause trouble, which has led to this situation now." situation."
"His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, so it is reasonable for him not to take action against his close relatives. Besides, none of us thought that the power of the third prince would develop so fast, and that he would have the tendency to overtake the Prince's Mansion so quickly," Wusun Liuce said.
"Yes, the third brother's military strength is indeed not as good as mine, but his three strengths have all reached the peak of true immortals, and one of them is even a half-step eternal guardian. But it is really difficult. Without this It will be much easier for three strong men to deal with the third brother." Prince Rongfu frowned, and then asked: "What has the third brother done recently?"
Wusun Liuce thought for a while and said: "According to the report from the spies, the third prince has been staying behind closed doors all day long, and the residence is as usual. There is nothing special about it. But from my point of view, the third prince is very likely to be here." Drilling troops and horses, it¡¯s time to start preparations.¡±
"Is that really so" Prince Rongfu's face sank, his eyes flashed, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "How have our soldiers been practicing recently?"
Wusun Liuce replied: "It's almost done. All we need now is an order from His Highness to start the operation."
"Well, very good!" Prince Rongfu's heavy expression finally eased, and then he asked: "By the way, how has your contact with Ding Hao been these days?"
"Not bad." Wusun Liuce nodded.
"Try to be on good terms with him. No matter what he asks for, agree to him. Maybe he will become my last weapon to defeat my third brother!" Prince Rongfu told him.
"Your Highness, don't worry!"
¡¡
Since that day, Ding Hao stayed in the prince's residence for another half month.
During this period, in addition to communicating with military advisor Wusun Liuce, he had been thinking about how to get the classic book.
But what made him a little frustrated was that no matter what method he tried, he could not break through the two formations and enter the [Royal Arsenal].
However, on this day, his main concern now is not the book, but the news he got from several guests.
Ever since Ding Hao showed off his power at the banquet that day and defeated dozens of guests and the Crown Prince Shaobao, these guests were all respectful and polite to him. They would come over from time to time to discuss some cultivation issues, or [Ling Hao]. some things in the world.
"Thanks to them, Ding Hao, who doesn't know much about the [spiritual world], is no longer as ignorant of current affairs in the world as a wild man outside the mountains.
After the guests left, Ding Hao began to look thoughtful.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? News is constantly coming out in the palace that the old patriarch went crazy while practicing Kung Fu and will die soon.
And those four young patriarchs who coveted the throne, including Prince Rongfu, began to take action.
Some ministers in the clan have begun to choose to "choose sides." Of course, relatively more ministers rely on the crown prince Rongfu and the third prince Rongsi.
It can be said that the DPRK is now in extreme turmoil and undercurrents are surging.
"So, of the four young patriarchs, the most likely to ascend to the throne is the crown prince Rongfu, and the third prince Rongsi"
"No wonder, I said that the prince has been more and more attentive to me recently. He often comes to give me gifts here and there. It turns out it's because of this incident!" Ding Hao connected the two things and was immediately sure that the news was true.
"He just hopes that you will play a role in seizing the throne" Xie Yue, who was on the side, looked at Ding Hao and said: "People's pet, if you want to say it, they are in civil strife, and it has nothing to do with us, so don't go Just ignore them, our most important thing now is that book."
"That's what I said, but do you have any way now to break that formation or take out that tome?" Ding Hao looked at Xie Yue and said lightly.
"Is this" Xie Yue blinked her big eyes and muttered: "Aren't you the same as Meow, there is nothing you can do, otherwise you wouldn't have to stay here for so long."
"It's true that it didn't happen before, but now" His eyes flickered a few times, and Ding Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Now I have a method."
"You have a method?!" Xie Yue jumped up immediately after hearing this and asked curiously: "Quickly, tell Meow, what method do you have?"
Ding Hao said: "This method is to help the prince and win the throne!"
"Help that kid seize the throne? What's your idea, Ren Chong? You probably haven't taken your medicine, so you're talking nonsense here" Xie Yue's eyes suddenly became larger and smaller, and she looked very confused. .
¡°Obviously, with its small head, it couldn¡¯t figure out why Ding Hao came up with this idea.
Ding Hao looked at it speechlessly and cursed: "Damn you, I thought you were quite smart before, why have you become so stupid now?"
¡°Meow stupid?!¡±
"You are stupid. Then tell Meow, why do you want to help that kid seize the throne?" Xie Yue looked at Ding Hao angrily and jumped three feet high.
"You still can't understand?" Ding Hao slowly explained: "As long as we help the prince win the throne, when we ask for a classic book, will he refuse to agree?"
"Huh? Oh! So that's it Well, Meow said that on purpose just now. With Meow's intelligence, he already knew such things. He just wanted to give you a try. Well, that's it. "Xie Yue turned her head and rolled her eyes a few times before she realized what she was saying. Then there was a burst of shameless and face-saving words.
Ding Hao glanced at it and ignored the fat cat who was obsessed with saving face. He walked directly out of the door, with Xie Yue's 'explanation' coming from behind him from time to time.
"Hey, eh, eh, Meow said, human pet, listen to Meow, Meow really knows what you just meant, really, it's true"
After leaving the other courtyard, I learned from several servants that the prince and the military advisor were in the inner hall at the moment, discussing important matters.
After that, he passed directly through the living room and came to the inner hall.
After being informed by an attendant, Ding Hao walked into the inner hall and came to the prince and the military advisor.
"Brother Ding, why did you come to see me today?" As soon as the prince saw Ding Hao, he immediately greeted him with a smile.As for Military Advisor Wusun, he was clearing away some letters and other things on the table, as well as the two maps that Ding Hao left behind.
Ding Hao knew the terrain of one of the maps, it was the map of the imperial palace.
Ding Hao didn't recognize the other map, but he could guess that it was probably the map of the third prince's residence.
Ding Hao just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, looked at the prince, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I also know something about some recent events in the palace"
"Oh?" Prince Rongfu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. After looking at Military Advisor Wusun, he asked, "So, brother Ding, you came to me because of this matter?"
"That's right!" Ding Hao nodded and said, "I know that His Highness's main concern now is the three powerful guardians of the Third Prince. I can help His Highness solve this matter."
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Prince Rongfu looked stunned, then showed a look of surprise and said hurriedly: "Brother Ding, are you serious about what you said? Can you really kill those three people?"
"Can!"
"Brother Ding, tell me, after everything is done, I can promise you whatever you need" After receiving Ding Hao's affirmative reply, the joy on Prince Rongfu's face became even more intense, but he also understood that there is no need to do anything without permission Treasure Palace
