After retreating from the court, Nangong Wang absent-mindedly comforted a few of his close followers who had gathered with pitiful eyes, and then hurried back home after a few words. In the secret room, there stood a white-faced, beardless young man with a slender nose. The cheekbones are high and he looks so cold and deep. He is Nangong Wang's unknown eldest son, Nangong De, who is also the personal eunuch Dehai who killed Koro III. He was purified and entered the palace at the age of eleven, and it has been twenty-seven years since then. During these twenty-plus years of accompanying the emperor, he has developed the habit of being overly happy and angry. After quietly listening to his father's angry account of what happened in the morning, he said coldly: "Father, it seems they are preparing to attack us." He knows no less secrets than his father. Nangong Wang nodded slightly, his eyes looking slightly melancholy. For a politician, such an ending is sad. From the moment Linghu Ming proposed marriage, he knew that the forces behind the empire had already chosen a partner to cooperate with, and that he and his forces would become a stepping stone for the rise of this force. Although he had expected all this, when it finally came, he still felt a little heavy and lonely in his heart. "Then what should we do?" Nangong De said calmly. Compared with his two younger brothers, he is more like Nangong Wang in terms of character. Nangong Wang paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, a palpitating gloom rising to the surface, and said slowly: "Let's proceed to the second step of the plan. Go and call him over." Nangong De nodded slightly and turned to the door next door. In the darkroom, soon, an almost identical "Nangong Wang" walked forward under his guidance, his posture was the same as that of the real Nangong Wang. His name is Xu Qiang, and his extremely similar appearance to Nangong Wang is natural. There are no magic changes. That's why. He was collected by Nangong Wang and trained as a dead soldier for thirty-nine years. In the past thirty-nine years, he has spent all his time imitating Nangong Wang or pretending to be Nangong Wang. It can be said that he is the second Nangong Wang. "Prime Minister," Xu Qiang said with a slight chin of his head. It was the rule not to be polite when seeing Nangong Wang. "From today on, you are me. There is no Xu Qiang anymore." Nangong Wang changed Xu Qiang's identity in just one sentence. Xu Qiang understood what the Prime Minister meant. This time it was not a temporary dress-up, but a permanent replacement. Although he also knew what this meant, for him, enough was enough. After nodding slightly, he opened the secret door and walked out. From then on, he was Nangong Wang, and who the real Nangong Wang was, to him. No need to know. "What should we do with the third brother?" Nangong De whispered. He was very clear about his father's second step plan. The only thing that has not been arranged now is his underachieving brother. "He is not your brother." Nangong Wang suddenly said something puzzling at this time, staring at the closed secret door. He said slowly: "He is Xu Qiang's son." Nangong De understood instantly. He had to admire his father's foresight at this moment despite his deep city. His guess was correct. Nangong Wang had already thought of a way out decades ago, and asked Xu Qiang to pretend to be him and sleep with a concubine, and gave birth to Nangong Peng. In other words, Nangong Peng and Nangong Peng's son¡ª¡ª - Nangong Wushang actually has no blood relationship with him at all, they are just two chess pieces he set up to cover up people's eyes as a last resort. "Father, when will you leave?" Nangong De asked in a low voice. When Nangong Wang heard this word, there was a touch of desolation between his brows, and he sighed with some emotion: "Tonight. De'er, after my father leaves, the imperial capital will be handed over to you." Nangong De said without any hint of depression: " Please rest assured, father, that the child will complete the task and wait for his return." Nangong Wang sighed sadly and stared at Nangong De with a compassionate gaze. He was full of guilt for his child. After pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice: "De'er, do you know why fatherhood failed in the end?" "Because of Linghu Jue." Nangong De said coldly, with a heart-stopping and vicious light in his eyes. This is not to say that he hates Linghu Jue very much, but because of his almost perverted psychology, he cannot see any child of aristocratic family living a nourished and comfortable life. "Wrong." Nangong Wang said with such gloom and unyielding: "My father himself has no strength. Although my father has always believed that wisdom is the strongest, wisdom also needs support. Therefore, in terms of cultivation, You must work hard." Nangong De nodded firmly. His talent is not bad, but he could not concentrate on training because of his status. Until now, he was only a candidate for high rank, but he believed that with the pills his father had obtained from the strong men in the clan who had left, he was confident that he would become a knight-level master within half a year. "Okay, go down and get ready." Nangong Wang said as he sat down on the chair behind the desk. Now he had to think carefully about the purpose of Zhong Lizhao's compromise in the court? Nangong ?He retreated, and Zhong Lichao, who was guessed by Nangong Wang, also returned to the mansion at this time. As soon as he entered the hall and took a seat, his expression suddenly changed. In anger, he swept the carved porcelain bottles on the table to the ground. The splashing porcelain pieces startled Xiao Yuanshan and Zhao Tianhe who had just entered the door. Since the Western Corps was defeated by the Cangyue Clan, these two people came to the imperial capital and are now in charge of the temple. Since neither of them liked government affairs, although they were qualified to enter the palace, they had never been to the court. Looking up from the debris on the ground, the two of them looked at each other. Xiao Yuanshan said with slight confusion: "Brother Zhongli, why are you doing this?" Not daring to put on airs in front of him, he stood up and sighed: "It's not because of this guy Linghu Jue." As soon as he mentioned Linghu Jue, Zhao Tianhe's eyes filled with anger and he yelled with foaming at the mouth: "What's wrong with this kid?" "What else is wrong?" Zhong Lizhao smiled a little obscurely, focused his eyes on Xiao Yuanshan, and said sadly: "Brother Yuanshan, what is going on in the clan? That kid killed us. Many clan members have now turned around and become one of our own. "Xiao Yuanshan's eyes were cold. He had dealt with Linghu Jue in Crow City. There was no hatred, but he definitely didn't have a good impression. He said calmly: "Why, you don't know? Who of the ancestors of the Luo family is not afraid of three points? What's more, Linghu Jue is no longer the Linghu Jue of before. I advise you two, let go of some things that should be put down." "Let it go. , Yuanshan, you put it lightly. Brother Zhongyuan died so tragically, and how arrogant that kid was. If I let him go like this, how would I look when I see Brother Zhongyuan in the future?" Zhao Tianhe said with bulging eyes and grinding teeth. When Chu Zhongyuan was alive. The two of them were at odds with each other, but this death made him feel as sad as a rabbit dying. Xiao Yuanshan was a little disdainful, but Zhao Tianhe was his elder after all, so he could only console him in a low voice: "What if I don't let go? I guess now, the three of us tied together are no match for Linghu Jue." He said It was true. He had heard about the death of several kings of the Cangyue clan at the hands of Linghu Jue. This sentence touched Zhong Lichao's pain. Compared with the attitude of the clan, this was what worried him. He knew very well what kind of person Linghu Jue was. He also knew very well what he had done. He believed that as long as one day the two of them faced each other face to face, Linghu Jue would definitely not let him go. Thinking and thinking, the coldness in his chest almost squeezed his heart and lungs. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted hoarsely: "I don't believe it, I can't deal with that kid." Zhao Tianhe calmed down and looked at him hoarsely. While thinking about it, he smiled sinisterly: "It's not impossible. Didn't the clan let that kid enter the secret realm? We can't deal with him. There are many people in the clan who can deal with him, and they hate him more than us." Xiao Yuanshan first said Leng, suddenly woke up, understood what he meant, and said immediately: "You mean people from the Wu family?" Among the Guangming clan, only a few big families such as the Wu family dare to go against the Luo family. . The corners of Zhao Tianhe's lips twitched and he said viciously: "I dare not say anything about the other people in the Wu family, but you know that Wu Hai's eldest brother Wu Yong is far away, and he is not afraid of trouble. I asked about him, these days he He has been in seclusion and doesn¡¯t know the news about his younger brother¡¯s death. If he knew that his beloved brother died in Linghu Jue¡¯s hands, would Linghu Jue still have a way to survive?¡± Seeing Xiao Yuanshan¡¯s silence, he obviously agreed with Zhao Tianhe¡¯s statement. . Zhong Lichao's spirit was instantly lifted. Although he was a member of the Guangming clan, he had never entered the secret realm. He only knew about the clan's situation through the temple. Therefore, this was the first time Wu Yong had heard of the name, and he immediately spoke hotly. He asked: "Is that Wu Yong very powerful?" After Zhao Tianhe smiled coldly, his voice was very sinister: "That's natural. Before the retreat, he was the Eternal Demon King. He is an elite member of our clan." Zhongli When Chao Yi heard this, he laughed, but his laughter sounded a little bloody. At this time, outside the residence of the Linghu family, there was a long line of official sedans and carriages. Those officials and nobles who were not qualified to go to court, regardless of whether they were from the Linghu family or not, after learning about the incident in the court, they seemed to have discussed it, and lined up to squeeze in at the entrance of the Linghu family's mansion. Even the gatekeepers The guards repeatedly emphasized that Marshal Linghu would not see guests, but they still could not disperse the crowd. For them, standing at the door meant showing loyalty. And is Linghuming really not seeing guests? No, sitting in his study was an old friend who hadn't visited him for a long time, Murong Ao. The two of them closed the door, wondering what they were discussing? Linghu Sheath, who was so anxious that she had just returned from the military camp, was pacing back and forth outside the long corridor not far away, looking at the closed door from time to time. He now desperately wants to know how his marriage is going? But at this time, the other half of his intended marriage, Princess Colleen, also received the news, and at the same time he knewAlso accompanying Princess Corinne was Murong Yi. The two of them were classmates, both students at the Imperial Academy of Etiquette. This Royal Etiquette Academy does not teach magic or martial arts. It is a school dedicated to teaching etiquette to the children of imperial nobles. The coursework is not complicated, and there are no grade certificates. Generally speaking, it is more like a private gathering place for the children of nobles. The college is very beautiful. It is located near the palace. The palace-like house is surrounded by green willows. There are rockeries and a small lake. In front and back of the house, dense spring vitex flowers are planted. In this early spring season, Renders colorful and gorgeous colors. Along a tree-lined path, Corinne and Murong Yi walked side by side, followed by several palace maids, including the palace maid who had just arrived to report the news. Maybe it was the relationship between the clothes and the light. At this moment, Colleen was not as graceful and noble as last night. She was a little more pretty and less mature. She frowned slightly and walked forward silently. In fact, she had walked forward in front of the emperor. During the few days of chatting, she had already vaguely realized that she was going to get married, and the person she was marrying was probably Linghu Jue. This was one of the main reasons why she bothered to have people portrait her, but she didn't expect it. The news came today that the person proposed by the Linghu family was actually Linghu Sheath. Feeling depressed for a while. complex. This is not to say that she has a great affection for Linghu Jue or how much she resists Linghu Sheath, but the sudden change makes her uncomfortable. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she does not reject Linghu Sheath. Even once. The handsome and heroic Linghu Sheath has become the ideal lover in her dreams. Murong Yi didn't know that much, but she also saw the slight loneliness in Corinne's eyebrows. She misunderstood and thought that Corinne was thinking about the elusive young man in the past few months. She pouted her lips and comforted: "I want to What? Are you thinking about that weirdo again? He hasn't appeared for months. Besides, it's useless if you like him. How can you marry a mysterious person? " Colleen was startled. Murong Yi's words reminded her of a vague figure. Just as Murong Yi said, that was really a weird person. He always appeared suddenly without saying a word. After looking at her from a distance for a few times, he disappeared suddenly. . She barely saw what that person looked like? I just had a vague feeling that the man was quite handsome, with a distinguished and arrogant temperament. Smiling, she knew that Murong Yi had misunderstood and did not explain. She lowered her thick and slightly curly eyelashes and said depressedly: "Yi'er, if you get married, who would you marry?" "Me." Murong Yi's eyes brightened, and a blush appeared on her cheeks, but she forced herself to remain calm and said almost without hesitation: "Of course I will marry Brother Linghu." "Why?" Colleen said in a silky voice. She was older than Murong Yi. One year old, he is quite mature. He knows that a large part of Murong Yi's extreme affection for Linghu Jue is the innocent dream of a girl, and another part is blind worship, which is still far from true love. "Why." Murong Yi murmured and raised her head. She was slightly shorter than Colleen and could only look at her when she raised her head. His eyes were frank and calm, so innocent yet filled with a shuddering heat. He said frankly: "There are so many reasons that I have forgotten. Maybe it's because he is too outstanding and perfect. Anyway, I am I like him." At this point, seeing Colleen's eyes darkening, she felt a little in her heart and immediately said, "The third brother is also very good. I think he is a good match for you. Didn't you know that he saw me that day? Your eyes are almost falling off." After saying that, she raised her eyelids and made a face. This made Colleen laugh, she hit Murong Yi lightly, and said coquettishly: "You talk about your brother Linghu every day, aren't you afraid that I will also like you?" Murong Yi just showed up. So careful, thinking that Colleen had seen through it, she simply risked it, Yaobi snorted: "If you like him, you will like him. If you say you don't like Brother Linghu, I still don't believe you." "Then you just do it. Aren't you afraid that I will steal your brother Linghu?" Corinne opened her beautiful big eyes and said quite meaningfully. Murong Yi giggled. After laughing, she sighed in confusion and said: "Then you don't understand Brother Linghu. He said that you can snatch it away? He is like the bright moon in the dark night. Only he is willing , will cast a ray of moon shadow, otherwise, everyone can only look up and watch from a distance. "Colin didn't expect that Murong Yi would say such emotional words. She was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and said with emotion: " Yes, some things cannot be forced. In this case, you should cherish the people in front of you, are you right? " Murong Yi thought that Corinne was just comforting herself. She forced a smile and said with hazy eyes: "I will wait. , wait for the moon shadow to fall, even if it is only for a short moment." At this point, she paused, turned her eyes and said, "Do you think I am stupid?" Colleen smiled and shook her head. Looking at Murong Yi, whose eyes showed slight sadness and melancholy, she felt much calmer and clearer.What kind of relationship does Bai want? Instead of waiting lonely, it is better to have happiness. Not all beauties are worthy of heroes? As a low-spirited princess, she was used to the sadness and twilight of beauties in the harem, but she longed for a true and gentle companionship in her heart. Thinking of Linghu Sheath's obsessed look at her last night, she suddenly felt that maybe such a man could be with her for the rest of her life. I don't know if it was because of their discussion, but when night fell and the hippogriff landed with folded wings, Linghu Jue sneezed several times.
