"Have you found out where Lanna is?"
I asked.
Fang Yuan nodded cautiously. After thinking about it for a while, I said to Fang Yuan:
"Take me there."
Bai Huang said loudly:
"Li De, Jin Ling's imprisoning is obviously a conspiracy of King Xi's gang. Now our top priority is to rescue Jin Ling, so as to save the 300,000 people in Tianyue Mountain!"
I asked bluntly:
"How to save?"
Bai Huang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The black-armored warrior who stayed at the gate of Tiance Mansion said just now:
"I advise you guys not to add to the chaos. Right now, the masters of Jinyiwei and Imperial Guards are basically guarding the prison to prevent the remnants of the Tiance Mansion's rebels from attacking the prison. If you guys want to act forcefully, don't blame me if you die. remind."
Bai Huang stomped her feet fiercely.
I cast my eyes on Fang Yuan again, and said:
"Go and save Lanna first. We are outsiders in the matter of the capital, but Lanna must be saved. Some things were said as a joke at the time, but since the other party took it seriously, I have to be responsible. Alaya, Follow me with your sword. Fang Yuan, lead the way!"
Fang Yuan got up from the ground and said repeatedly:
"As expected of the boss, he values love and righteousness! Big sister, will you go with us?"
Bai Huang bit her lip, still full of unwillingness. I said:
"Bai Huang, you stay here. Tell the people in the Tiance Mansion not to do stupid things... such as going to prison to demand someone. Let them perform their duties. After all, Jin Ling is the general of the Tiance Mansion. It will be so easy to die. Also, if the situation in the capital is out of control, don't try to join us, and don't try to save anything by yourself, the sooner you slip, the better."
Bai Huang nodded and said:
"That's the only way. Lied, be careful."
After separating from Bai Huang, Fang Yuan took me to the north of the capital. Fang Yuan only knew a rough idea, and took us through many detours.
On the way, Fang Yuan kept telling me about various things about Lanna, until Alaiya and I got a little tired from walking.
When the cold wind blew on my face, I suddenly felt something was wrong. When walking through a secluded alley, I stopped the young man who was walking in front of me and was so fat that he almost blocked the entrance of the alley:
"Wait, Fangyuan."
Fang Yuan turned her head and looked at me puzzled.
I leaned against the wall and asked calmly:
"How far is it from where Lanna is being held?"
Fang Yuan wiped the sweat off his face and said:
"It's not far, Boss, just go forward for a while..."
I interrupted him, and asked bluntly:
"What benefits did King Xi promise to give you, that you would not hesitate to make up a lie to deceive me at this point in time, and also to send me away from Tiance Mansion?"
Fang Yuan's body trembled, but she didn't speak.
I took a few steps forward, and there was no one around, only the cold moonlight shining outside the alley, dragging the shadows of the three of us for a long time. I walked up to Fang Yuan, stretched out my hand, patted his cheek lightly, and said:
"You've got a lot of skill, Fangyuan. I thought you were a smarter and more cunning person, who knew when to lower your posture and when to raise your eyebrows. Now you are helping others to plot against me. Are you planning to act Don’t act, just turn your face? But if Yuxi City and Lord Zhaochen launch a pincer attack on your fief now, your situation will not be much better than Fang Lita.”
The sweat on Fangyuan's face dripped down on the ground like a stream, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off. He just looked at me and argued:
"Boss, I..."
Still smiling, I interrupted him:
"Bai Huang can't get into Prince Xi's Mansion, and you don't even have a guard, so how can you go into Chao Wang's Mansion? How do people in Chao Wang's Mansion know that Princess Lanna is in danger tonight? How can they tell you the location while chatting?" ? You happen to know this place, so you can take Alayya and me there right away? You have only been in the capital for a few days, Fang Yuan, not much earlier than us, how come you are so familiar with this place?"
Fang Yuan's eyes dodged a little, but then he gritted his teeth suddenly, and replied crisply:
"Boss, I really lied to you, but I also did it to protect you. The royal capital will soon be over, the royal family is about to be truly destroyed, and the Eternal Heaven Kingdom will be in chaos. I am not the only city lord who knows, many city lords have participated This matter! Including Kaia, including Noren... Boss, it’s still too late, get on our boat.”
I stared into his eyes and sneered:
"Destroy the entire royal family? Just rely on him as King Xi?"
Fang Yuan said:
"Boss, if there is only one King Xi, why would I bother to work for them? Isn't it obvious that I will lose? They found other ways... At first I wanted to refuse, but I didn't do it, even if one day I sat down They will not recognize my father's position. In addition, those city lords and the territories behind them will sign a treaty with my father and help them destroy me! Boss, boss! I have no other choice than to promise The road can go!"
I just wanted to ask what his so-called "other method" was, but found that it was unnecessary.
The aura that had disappeared once again jumped up in his mind.
Tamrose's calm expression and Fang Yuan's fearful expression came to mind together.
——"Human nature is like this, what else do people need?"
— "The night is still long."
— "The capital of the kingdom will soon be over... Eternal Heaven will be a mess."
What immediately came to mind was the conversation between General Jin Ling of Tiance Mansion and me during the banquet.
— "What do you guys usually do in Tiance Mansion?"
- "Mobilize troops every year to fight against foreign aggression... In addition, in peacetime, the main responsibility of the Tiance Mansion is to guard the country's large formation, and not to let this formation go wrong. The formation's eyes are set in the capital, the weakest The place is also in the royal capital, and the safety of human beings is at stake here, so we must guard it carefully."
The biggest doubt before was that even if King Xi killed the king, he would not be able to sit in that position. He simply didn't have enough strength to suppress the Imperial Guards, Jin Yiwei and the gang of Tiance Mansion, doing so was completely suicidal. But if... the power in his hands is not in the capital, or even in the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven, but somewhere else...
As soon as I thought about it, I slapped Fang Yuan across the face.
This time, he didn't control his strength, and he flew out directly, watching him smash into the wall. Fangyuan's fat is very thick, if it were someone else, he would have been injured, but he still got up, knelt down in front of me, and kowtowed without saying a word.
I felt my hands trembling a little, but my brain was sober for a moment, and my voice was very calm:
"Tell me, which race did you sell humans to?"
Fang Yuan raised his head, his round eyes fixed on me, and I also looked at him with a smile.
Fang Yuan panted violently, and after a long time, he pressed his forehead to the ground and uttered a sentence:
"Dragon... the dragon family in the northeast."
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said tremblingly:
"The Dragon Clan was originally one of the [Six Middle Clans]. They are powerful and fast, and they live close to human territory. As long as a hole is opened in the national protection formation, they can rush to the king's capital from the air in an instant. Arrive At that time, the upper limit of the king's capital was only Qingyun, who had the tenth level of swordsmanship, and the Dragon Clan expected that there would be giant dragons at the twelfth level coming here. Also, there were not a few regular flying dragons... Whether it was Jinyiwei, Imperial Guards, etc. , or the guards brought by the city lords, will evaporate in an instant, King Xi will become the new king, and humans... will become slaves of the Dragon Clan."
I kept as calm a mind as possible.
Because I know it's too late.
When the roar that seemed to shatter a human skeleton came from the distant sky, it was too late.
I breathed calmly and asked Fang Yuan:
"The National Defense Array cannot be destroyed so easily. What did you do?"
Fang Yuan replied:
"It's Tianyue Mountain...Boss, they planned it a long time ago. They want to use the blood of the victims of Tianyue Mountain to destroy the royal capital's national protection formation! It is difficult to break through the formation from the outside, but it is difficult to break through from the inside out." It is not impossible to corrode a hole. As long as there is enough blood... the people of Prince Xi's Mansion, as well as a part of the army under the command of ten ministers and ten generals, have secretly rushed to Tianyue Mountain since yesterday... "
Fang Yuan knelt in front of me, tears fell to the ground, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Just wait for tonight!"
I rubbed my temples and looked up to the sky.
Strands of blood gathered towards the moon, and the cold moonlight was covered with a faint red.
You don't need to think about it to know what Tianyue Mountain looks like now.
I looked at Fang Yuan who was kneeling in front of me, and suddenly smiled and asked:
"Fang Yuan, when General Jin Ling of the Tiance Mansion was imprisoned, he immediately sent me away from the scene. This should not be something Xi Wang asked you to do, but your own choice. Tell me, why did you do this?" Do?"
Fang Yuan said with difficulty:
"Because I don't want to hurt the boss..."
I stepped on his head with such force that the bricks and stones in front of his forehead were broken into countless cracks.
I said slowly:
"No. Because you are afraid of me, Fangyuan. You are afraid that I will directly see what you want to do at that time, so you chose this path. Until now, you who are standing on Xiwang's boat, should have It is right to look down on me from above, why do you still kneel so lowly, what are you still afraid of?"
I moved my eyes from the moon in the sky to his head, and asked:
"I'm afraid of such a situation, but I can still handle it. Right?"
The blood on Fangyuan's forehead flowed all over the cracks in the masonry.
His hands trembled unconsciously, and he said:
"Boss. I know you look down on people like me, but in my eyes, being a beast doesn't make any difference to whomever you do it for! I've been my father's cow and horse for so many years. I didn’t get any respect. Now? What can I lose by serving those dragons? What I can lose has already been lost! Boss, let me tell you! We beasts don’t care who our masters are. Who cares about who can make us eat and drink enough, who can let us live for a few more days!!"
The last ray of moonlight is gone.
A huge monster like a dark cloud blocked the moon, and a pitch-black shadow enveloped the entire capital.
The strong wind blinded people.
I removed my foot from Fangyuan's head, and said slowly:
"You are right to be afraid. Let me tell you, Fangyuan. King Xi can't be a king, and the Dragon Clan can't rule human territory. There are no shortcuts to many things in the world. If you want revenge, you have to take it step by step. In my eyes, the world There is no upper third, middle sixth, lower ninth, and no distinction between eighteen races. Those strange races are nothing more than the difference between people and beasts. The dragon race is more like beasts. Throughout the ages, I have never heard of it. There are people who obey the principles of animals."
