It was a cold night, the night was as cool as water, and under the moon, the three princes of heavenly demons gathered together, and their powerful auras were extraordinary.
Facing the first prince of the royal family, Ning Chen didn't show any fear, looked at the former with a smile, and his words were tit for tat.
Xuan Zhen sneered and said, "It is indeed a serious crime to frame the prince, but it is also a capital crime to protect the murderer of the prince. Old Thirteen, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to swim in this muddy water."
"What if I refuse?" Ning Chen smiled.
"If you are obsessed, then don't blame me, who is my elder brother, for being ruthless."
Xuan Zhen's expression sank, and he looked at the commander beside him, and said, "Commander Xuan Mo, the two people in front of you, one murdering the prince and the other protecting the murderer, as the commander of the Imperial Army, should you do something? already."
Xuan Mo sighed lightly and waved his hand, "Encircle the Third Prince's Mansion!"
"I see who dares! Do you want to rebel?"
In front of the mansion, Xuan Qing, who has always been good at forbearance, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart at this moment. The pride of the prince of the royal family would not allow him to bear such humiliation and injustice.
Behind Xuan Mo, the soldiers of the Imperial Army, look at me, I look at you, and finally, looking at the great commander in front of him in embarrassment, surrounded the Prince's Mansion, such a crime is no trivial matter.
"Brother Xuanmo, how come the third brother is also a prince. Before the matter is found out, it is too much to seal the mansion." Ning Chen looked at the man in front of him and said calmly. "What about the crown prince, the safety of the imperial city cannot be neglected, and now the Marquis of Qingyuan, King Beizhen and the twelve princes have all been assassinated, no one can guarantee that the next murderer's target will not be one of us present. ." Behind the eldest prince
, the fifth prince opened his mouth, and there was something in his words.
When Xuan Qing heard the words, his expression immediately became cold. He looked at the fifth prince behind the eldest prince, and said solemnly, "Eldest fifth, I think you know better than anyone about the truth of misfortune."
The Fifth Prince smiled lightly and said, "Brother Three Emperors, are you threatening me? I'm not the old Twelve, and I won't be easily injured so that I can't even save my life."
"yes?"
The words didn't fall, but Suyi's figure flashed by, and the speed was so fast that everyone present had no time to react.
There is no real energy fluctuation, only the control of time and space, the moment when you look at it, the sword finger condenses and points to the person in front of you.
The fifth prince's eyes shrank fiercely, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block the front, but he felt a huge force coming, and with a bang, his body was shaken back a few steps.
After a finger, Su Yi's figure turned back and returned to the original place.
"Old Thirteen, you!"
The fifth prince was furious and was about to fight back, but was stopped by the eldest prince.
Xuan Zhen looked at the young figure in front of him calmly, and said, "Thirteenth brother is very good."
"It's just a self-protection trick, the first emperor's cultivation is what we all envy." Ning Chen smiled.
Xuan Zhen looked at the former and said coldly, "Today, you must protect this murderer of compatriots?"
"I'm just telling the truth, why should I protect you? Besides, Brother Three Emperors is not a murderer of compatriots." Ning Chen said lightly.
The situation was stalemate, and it was difficult to understand for a while, and Xuan Zhenzhen's thoughts flashed quickly. Now, the twelfth brother has not woken up, and he can't take the crime of Xuanqing. In addition, an old thirteen who has disrupted the situation, wants to convict Xuanqing today. I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Thinking of this, Xuan Zhen looked at Xuan Mo on the side, and said calmly, "Grand Commander, I hope that before the twelfth brother wakes up, no more imperial dignitaries will be assassinated in the imperial city."
"Your Royal Highness, please rest assured."
Xuan Mo gave a serious salute and said, "I have sent the Imperial Army to impose martial law, and we will meet the murderer as soon as possible to bring the murderer to justice." Xuan Zhen nodded, moved his eyes, looked at the young man in Suyi on the other side, and said calmly, "Thirteen Brother, I will give you a face today, but if the twelfth brother wakes up and identifies the murderer himself, then I hope you will have the same eloquence as today.
Articulate eloquence. "
"Brother, you have a good journey."
Ning Chen ignored what the former said, smiled and saluted.
"let's go."
Xuan Zhen said indifferently, then turned around and left.
The fifth prince and the sixth prince glanced at the two figures in front of the mansion and followed them together without saying any more.
In front of the Third Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen looked at Xuan Mo in front of him and said with a smile, "Big Brother Xuan Mo, the eldest brother has already left, can the forbidden army behind you also retreat?"
"Take a thousand steps back, patrol alternately at twelve hours a day, and don't neglect for a moment."
Xuan Mo looked at the many banned soldiers behind him and ordered.
"Yes"
The people took orders and turned to retreat.
Thousands of paces away, the Imperial Army stopped, stationed in place, and monitored the Third Prince's Mansion not far away.
In front of the Third Prince's Mansion, Xuan Qing's expression was still gloomy, but he didn't say anything. He knew that this was the last bottom line of the commander of Xuan Mo, and he couldn't force it any more.
"His Royal Highness the third prince, I hope you don't leave the imperial city for the past two days."
Xuan Mo said calmly and turned to leave.
Ning Chen looked at the former's back, and sighed softly in his heart, sorry, for the peace of the world and the world, he couldn't be merciful, and now, it's just the beginning.
"Thirteenth brother, thank you."
In front of the mansion, Xuan Qing looked at the young man in front of him and thanked him with a serious expression.
"Brother Three Emperors, you're welcome."
Ning Chen converged, looked away, looked at the former, and said with a smile, "I have promised to say a fair word for Brother Three Emperors, and I will not break my promise."
"Having said that, I still have to thank the Thirteenth Brother. If the Thirteenth Brother hadn't arrived in time today, the eldest prince would have forced the Imperial Army to put me under house arrest." Xuan Qing said solemnly.
"The emperor's brother is the crown prince. In this world, except for the four demon emperors, they cannot be qualified to convict the emperor's brother, nor the eldest prince, but"
Speaking of this, Ning Chen changed his tone and said sternly, "Brother Huang really wants to think about what to do next, the eldest prince is so excited to come here, he must be sure to convict brother brother, the twelfth prince. , it will be a big problem.”
Xuan Qing heard the words, his expression darkened slightly, and said, "Thirteenth brother, let's enter the palace and say."
Ning Chen nodded and followed.
In the palace of the third prince, in the palace of the king, Xuan Qing looked at the person in front of him and said, "Thirteenth brother, what do you think I will do next?"
"Cut the grass and remove the roots, and leave no calamity."
Ning Chen said seriously, "No matter what the truth is, soon, once the Twelfth Prince wakes up, he will definitely testify against you, the Third Prince. By then, it will be too late for the Prince to say anything, so the Twelfth Prince will never wake up."
Xuanqing heard it and fell silent. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Now that the old twelve has been strictly protected by the first prince, how difficult it is to get rid of him."
"It depends on whether you are willing to leave the car and keep the handsome man."
Ning Chen calmly said, "Brother Huang should have no shortage of masters. You can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. At this time, you won't have to wait until you don't need these powers."
Xuan Qing heard the words and sighed softly, a look of exhaustion flashed on his face, and that was all he could do.
"Brother Three Emperors, have you ever thought about who is behind these things?" Ning Chen asked in a condensed voice.
"no idea."
Xuanqing shook his head and said, "So far, I know that the person who shot is a master with a knife, but, recently, no king-level master with a knife has entered the imperial city. I really don't understand who is setting up the frame. I."
"It's not hard to guess."
Ning Chen said sternly, "Brother Huang only needs to think about who wants to get rid of you the most, or who will be the biggest beneficiary after the brother is in trouble."
"Eldest Prince!" Xuan Qing said solemnly, "If I fall, the biggest beneficiary will undoubtedly be him, but, I don't understand, Qingyuan Hou and Beizhen King are both the eldest prince's capable subordinates, while ten The second prince is his brother, how could he do this
The thing about breaking your wings. "
"Once you will succeed, your bones will die."
Ning Chen said indifferently, "Sacrificing two subordinates and a younger brother, if he can take down the third brother, it is undoubtedly a very worthwhile choice, the brother will not really think that the first prince is such a person who misses the old love? Hearing the former's words, Xuanqing's expression became more and more gloomy. In the past, he had never thought that the first prince's heart would be so deep. If the truth is as Old Thirteen said, the first prince will definitely do whatever it takes to deal with this situation. he died,
Otherwise, once it fails, the loss of the eldest prince alone is enough to damage his vitality. "Brother Three Emperors, make a decision early to restore the situation. The First Prince is betting, and the key chip is the Twelve Princes. If Brother Huang can destroy this chip, all problems will be solved. At that time, the dilemma will be will be the first prince
. "Ning Chen advised.
After listening to the former's advice, Xuan Qing gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
He can no longer be passive like this, and he must take the initiative back into his own hands.
Thinking of this, Xuan Qing restrained his mind, looked at the young man in front of him, and said sternly, "Thank you thirteenth brother for reminding me, I know what to do."
"Since the emperor has already figured it out, then I can rest assured. It's not early, so I won't stay any longer and will leave first." Ning Chen said softly.
"Now that I am inconvenient to move, I will not be far away." Xuan Qing said apologetically.
"Brother Huang can stay, and when Brother Huang regains the overall situation, he will come to congratulate him with a heavy gift."
Ning Chen asked for a word, immediately clasped his fists in a salute, and turned to leave.
Seeing the former leave, Xuanqing's expression gradually condensed, and after a while, he turned and walked towards the back of the hall.
It's time to let them go.
Outside the Third Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen looked at the forbidden army stationed in front, stopped for a few breaths, and walked away.
Before the banning army, Xuan Mo had a feeling, his eyes moved, and he looked at the figure who was leaving from outside the third prince's mansion, with a complicated expression.
In the past, I just watched the extraordinary wisdom of the thirteenth prince in dealing with the major forces in the imperial city. Today, in a head-to-head confrontation, I have a clearer understanding of how difficult the thirteenth prince is. .
Today, although the eldest prince seems to have the upper hand temporarily, Xuanqing has the help of the thirteenth prince, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose. In the distance, under the darkness of the night, the figure with white hair in plain clothes was walking alone, with a thin body that seemed out of tune with the whole world.
