Qin Shi, who was thinking closely, caught the confusion on Zhou Qinqiao's face at a glance, and asked: "By the way, how is Xiao Yuzi's situation in the empire now?"
"It's very pessimistic." Zhou Qin didn't hide anything from Qin Shi, and sighed bluntly: "In the early years when the late king came back to the world, Empress Xiao Chong had actually emptied all the imperial power. Otherwise, Yuzi would not have been the prince.
I haven't been able to register for a long time, and I have to participate in the election of the new king."
"Empty the imperial power?" Qin Shi frowned and said in confusion: "In my impression, the late King Chiyan should have a cultivation level close to the four-day realm? Why did Empress Xiao Chong exclude him?"
"Hey, I actually know a little bit about these things. The late king did have a cultivation level that was close to the Four Heavens. No one in the Chi Yan Empire except Dongfang Hua Ling was his opponent. But fifty years ago,
At that time, a very mysterious wizard suddenly appeared in the empire. This wizard claimed to have the magic to extend life span. Fifty years ago, the former king encountered the shackles for decades. After being unable to break through for a long time, he already felt that his longevity
"Yuan Kujie, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death, even he, as the leader of a country, is the same. He just wanted to be lucky and recruited this wizard into the imperial city, and the problem arises with this wizard." Zhou Qin.
Speaking of this, he shuddered all over his body and gritted his teeth and said: "I later found out that this wizard was actually someone hired by Queen Xiao Chong. What he was good at was not the ability to extend life span at all, but the magic of bewitching people. Through
Fifty years of constant bewitching of the late king caused the late king's spiritual power to diminish day by day, and his mind to become increasingly confused. Until a year ago, the late king had completely lost consciousness. Over the past year, Empress Xiao Chong has controlled the imperial power. Now,
Most of the people in the imperial city are close associates of Empress Xiao Chong, and the old ministers who fought with the late king in the past have died or retreated, and there is no one left."
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Shi frowned and scolded: "Haha, this Xiao Chong is so vicious, he won't even let his husband go!"
"Well, Queen Xiao Chong's methods are extremely insidious. If it weren't for the several deployments that Concubine Lin has run over the years, and the continuous support of the Lin clan behind them, Concubine Lin and Yuzi would have been dead long ago, let alone the election of a new king.
This is a chance." Zhou Qin shook her head sadly.
Knowing this, Qin Shi thought for a while, smiled and patted Zhou Qin's shoulder: "Don't worry, the election of the new king hasn't started yet, Xiao Yuzi still has a chance."
"Opportunity? Where is the chance? In fact, Yuzi and I both know that the election of the new king is just a formality. Now Queen Xiao Chong can be said to cover the sky with one hand. The east, west, south, north and west areas are all filled with the trust of Queen Xiao Chong, and those in the West
Not to mention the Qingluan Sect, the Laoshan Sect in the southern region and the Burning Sky Sect in the northern region both took refuge under the banner of Queen Xiao Chong. Only the Xuan Palace in the eastern region never responded, but even the Eastern region's
Xuandian's vote for Yuzi was only three to one, so the election is a foregone conclusion."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case." Qin Shi raised his lips with a sly smile and said sarcastically: "I don't know how capable Queen Xiao Chong is, but it's not her turn to point fingers in the northern region."
"Um?"
Zhou Qin frowned slightly. She was trapped in the Qiongjiang Volcano for more than half a month. She didn't know anything about the change of ownership in the northern region: "Shitou, what do you mean by this?"
"meaning is……!"
Qin Shi just spoke, but before he could finish his words, a sound of breaking wind passed by, and Lin Yu landed in front of the two of them.
Just as he stopped, Lin Yu took over what he had just said: "Shitou means that the northern region is already under his control. Am I right? Master Qin Sect!"
Lin Yu's sudden appearance made Qin Shi stunned, and he smiled easily: "Haha, you're back?"
"Yu, what did you just say?" Zhou Qin grabbed Lin Yu's arm in confusion and asked quickly.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu stared at Qin Shi with blazing eyes. He still has a hard time recovering from the news he got during this trip. He said dryly: "The Burning Sky Sect in the northern region was wiped out by Qin Sect half a month ago. Today's
The overlord of the north is no longer the Burning Sky Sect, but the Qin Sect, and Shitou is the leader of the Qin Sect!"
"What?" Zhou Qin's beautiful eyes froze, she turned around and stared at Qin Shi in surprise: "Shitou, is this, is this true?"
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for three years. If I don't bring a big gift, how can I have the nerve to come to see you two?" Qin Shi smiled and nodded, acquiescing to Zhou Qin's words, and then said: "Besides, Dongfang Xuan Palace's
I also got the tickets for Xiao Yuzi. The current situation is two to two. Do you think there is still a chance? Miss Zhou?"
"Stone...!" Zhou Qin squeezed her jade fingers together, and her beautiful eyes instantly became moist. Girls are so easily moved, not to mention what Qin Shi did was really like giving her timely help.
She doesn't care about the imperial throne, or whether she is a queen, she only cares about Linyu, and in the past three years, she has never seen Linyu smile from the bottom of his heart like he did today. All of these are thanks to Qin Shi
Give.
"Don't worry, the Chi Yan throne belongs to my brother Qin Shi, and the future queen of Chi Yan must be my brother's wife, Qin Shi. No one else can get involved!" When Qin Shi said this,
There was a hint of domineering that was self-evident, which even made Lin Yu, a prince, feel terrified.
Staring at their childish faces, Lin Yu and Zhou Qin both smiled happily. They knew that after three years of hard work, Qin Shi had undergone earth-shaking changes, but the only thing that had not changed was the friendship between them.
Qin Shi smiled. Through Zhou Qin's words, he also had a general understanding of the current situation in the empire. To be honest, Linyu's situation was not very optimistic.
In a two-on-two situation, the regional election is equivalent to a false action. In the end, I am afraid that it will still have to rely on whose fist will determine who will be the new king.
But no matter what, now that Qin Shi has intervened, he will definitely not let Lin Yu fail. After all, the reputation of the Qin Sect leader is not in vain.
Now, he just wants to know more information to make plans for the next thing, so he said: "By the way, Xiao Yuzi, this time you went out to find out information, did you get anything new?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Well, three days ago, Mu Xin, the sect leader of Qingluan Sect, went to the empire. Along with him was the sect leader of Laoshan Sect: Yaohe Laogui, and the two of them formed the backbone of the sect.
Bring them all."
Qin Shi frowned and said, "It seems that Xiao Chong has already made the decision to fight to the death."
"Not only that, there is one thing that I care about the most." Speaking of this, Lin Yu's expression suddenly became horrified, making the two people next to him stunned.
"What's up?"
Clenching his fist fiercely, Lin Yu said feebly: "Seven days ago, Fang Heng caused a thunder disaster and successfully ranked in the Qitian realm!"
"What?" Indifferently, Qin Shi couldn't help but stand up: "Fang Heng broke through?"
This news is definitely like bad news for Linyu now.
Qitian Realm, that height, although it is only one level away from the Three-Day Realm, is an existence that Qin Shi is not sure about facing.
The Qitian Realm is already on par with the sky. Even the powerful ones who touch the peak of the Three-Day Realm are like ants in front of them.
Just like it was between Hua Ling and Yu Qing in Xuandian.
"What are your plans in the Four Heavens Realm?" In desperation, Qin Shi asked Lin Yu's idea.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yu said resolutely: "I promised my mother that I will never let this throne fall into the hands of others. The worst I can do is fight Fang Heng to the death. I'm not afraid of death."
Qin Shi's clear eyes lit up and he said with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll just wait for your words. This is like my Qin Shi's brother. Let's fight him to the death."
"No!" Unexpectedly, Lin Yu grabbed Qin Shi fiercely and said seriously: "If it really comes to that point, Shitou, you have to promise me that you must protect the safety of Qin'er and my mother, instead of blindly doing it for me.
sacrifice!"
After being stunned, Qin Shi was about to speak, but Zhou Qin stepped forward angrily from the side and gasped: "No, I don't want it. You told me that we are dependent on each other for life and death. I have accompanied you to conquer this nectar volcano. What do you think?"
Am I scared to death? Do you think I want to live alone?"
"Qin'er, be obedient!" Linyu gritted his teeth and said.
"Looking at your size, I, Zhou Qin, said that if the man I choose is going to live in poverty or fall into hell, I will stay with him!" Zhou Qin said angrily.
Lin Yu opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
Staring at the quarrel between the young couple, Qin Shi stepped forward and said: "Okay, can't we just accept death one by one? Things are not as bad as you think. Have you forgotten that Fang Heng is not the only one in this Chi Yan Empire?"
realm.”
The two of them turned around: "You mean Hua Ling?"
"Well, let's take a walk, isn't there a perfect path?" Qin Shi smiled. If it really came to that point, he thought he would put down his dignity and go and ask for money.
I just hope that when the time comes, Hua Ling will not refuse.
The two looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Now they really had no other choice.
"Then let's get out of here. After staying here for more than half a month, I'm about to shed my skin." Linyu flexed his muscles and looked around in the blazing fire, looking bored.
But at this time, Qin Shi raised the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I came to Qiongjiang Volcano, but I actually have other things to do."
"What's up?"
"Looking for a treasure." Qin Shi said without concealment and moved his gaze towards the top of the mountain.
The two hesitated for a moment, but without asking any further questions, the three of them stood up in the air and leaped towards the top of Qiongjiang Volcano.
The closer they got to the mountain pass, the more intense the heat felt. When they were halfway up the mountain, several people were already sweating profusely. If Linyu's Three-Day Realm hadn't always been protecting Zhou Qin, Zhou Qin would have been unable to hold on.
But before going up the mountain pass, Qin Shi still needs to look for someone. No, to be precise, it should be a tree, a sycamore tree.
