After removing the third prince and his "legacy", everyone left the realm and returned to the outside world.
As for the Thunder Leopard, he fell into a deep sleep after the third prince was sealed in the Holy Mother's coffin. According to the system, this Thunder Leopard was probably placed under some kind of vicious restriction, and the key to the restriction is
The ring that the third prince had used to force the Thunder Leopard to fight was now swallowed up by the Holy Mother's coffin along with the third prince, so the Thunder Leopard also lost consciousness.
But if they can get the ring, they might be able to control the Thunder Leopard.
Thinking of the amazing speed and thunder power that the Thunder Leopard had shown before, Huang Shang was also very happy and spared the Thunder Leopard's life, preparing to deal with it later.
After returning to the outside world, Huang Shang also asked Liu Xin to arrange for people to deal with the funeral affairs of the brothers who died in the battle. At the same time, he calmed everyone's emotions and told everyone that the future perpetrators had been executed.
Due to the lack of news about the apocalypse, other ordinary soldiers and even survivors except Huang Shang and other senior officials did not know the news about the ancient capital. This also led to the fact that although many people had heard the third prince's threats before, they only vaguely knew about the third prince.
The prince comes from a big force, but they have no idea how big the power is. In addition, Huang Shang and others have a high prestige in the hearts of everyone, so there is no panic in the camp because of the third prince's matter, and everything is as usual.
.
Huang Shang and others, who were the only ones who knew the inside story, seemed to be doing everything as usual, but they felt a lot of pressure in their hearts. After all, it was an ancient capital and the legendary legacy of an ancient royal family. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried about the other party's revenge.
.
What's more, according to the information revealed by the third prince during the previous battle, he seemed to be guided or instigated by someone to come here to cause trouble for them. So who is this person who instigated the third prince, and why did he do this?
After this, will this person take other actions?
All of this has brought invisible pressure to Huang Shang and others!
But fortunately, since the end of the world, everyone has already become accustomed to the ubiquitous pressure, so these pressures will not crush them, but will only make them turn pressure into motivation and practice harder.
…
At the same time, Yu Province, Ye County!
Yejun is one of the eight ancient capitals of China and one of the oldest ancient capitals that can be traced back. The Shang Dynasty once had its capital here, so Yejun is also called the capital of Yin.
Now, in a space in Yejun City that is isolated from the outside world, a huge palace stands majestically, and there are nearly ten thousand people moving around in this palace, and many of them are wearing various ancient costumes.
The palace clothes are as if the ancient palace has reappeared in the world.
In the deepest part of the palace, there is the Golden Luan Hall. In the hall, a man wears a golden short coat on the upper body and a pleated skirt on the lower body. At the same time, he has a wide belt around his waist, his calves are wrapped with white silk ribbons, and his feet wear pointed skirts.
Shoes, it can be said that from top to bottom, the middle-aged man is incompatible with modern people. He is holding a stack of memorials and looking through them. At the same time, his brows are tightened, as if he is thinking about something.
The appearance of this middle-aged man is not too outstanding, but his stern look and sharp eyes, combined with an indescribable temperament about him, give him a special sense of oppression, especially now that he is frowning
, which made the atmosphere in the entire hall become extremely solemn. Even some women in palace costumes serving on the side were trembling and did not dare to make any noise.
"strangeness……"
After a while, the middle-aged man put down the memorial, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Why do I always feel that something is wrong? Is someone plotting against me, or has something happened to someone?"
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man turned his head, moved his gaze below to an old man who was also wearing ancient clothes, and asked: "Master, has anything special happened in the past two days?"
"Just yesterday, the third prince got the news about the Evil God Soul Crystal from somewhere, and then he borrowed a batch of magic weapons and the Thunder Leopard from the fourth princess and left the palace, saying that he wanted to help His Majesty get the Evil God Soul Crystal back.
, so that our great merchants can take the lead in the upcoming Fengdu Feast."
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the old man who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and writing something on the desk raised his head and said in a neither humble nor overbearing voice.
"Nonsense!"
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man's eyes turned cold: "How can he interfere with the evil soul crystal matter? All parties play chess without regrets. Since someone can disrupt the chess game and benefit from it, we cannot easily deal with it.
That person made a move. This was the consensus reached by many of our chess players back then. How come this scoundrel doesn't even understand this?"
At this point, the middle-aged man's face became more and more gloomy: "Didn't you see that even the old guy who suffered the loss could only recognize it and didn't dare to attack the chess piece that messed up the chessboard? As a result.
That's good, this scoundrel is trying to steal the Evil God Soul Crystal on his own, he's really confused and stupid!"
"The third prince must have been instigated by someone, and then became someone else's pawn."
The old man shook his head and said calmly: "In this way, if the third prince fails to succeed, forget it, but if he succeeds, then both the capital and the person who was in Yincheng Buzi will have a problem with the third prince.
It’s even a reason to take action against our big merchants.”
Having said this, the old man paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although our Ye County is the oldest ancient capital, and Dashang is also one of the oldest royal families, being old does not mean being powerful. On the contrary, it makes us the oldest
It is one of the weak ancient capitals, so these people dare to stumble upon us secretly in order to carve out some benefits from us."
"Since you know this, why didn't you stop the third prince?!"
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man's eyes sharpened: "What on earth are you thinking about?"
"I can't stop it, I don't want to stop it, and I don't need to stop it."
The old man shook his head and said calmly: "I have already made a calculation. The hexagram seems to be a sign of imminent success, but in fact it is a sign of being outnumbered. The so-called yin is prosperous and yang is declining, and it is empty to draw water from a bamboo basket.
That’s it.”
"Then I added one more thing. From the perspective of the hexagrams, the upper hexagram is used to restrain the body, which is bad. If everything fails, there will be losses. The lower hexagram is used to restrain the body, which is good. The sea and the sky are bright."
Having said this, the old man paused for a moment, and then continued: "To put it simply, the third prince is bound to fail in this trip. If he escapes early, he can still have a bright future, but if he is obsessed with it and persists in it, he will be damaged at least, or his body will be destroyed at worst.
danger."
"You mean the third child's life is in danger?"
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man frowned even more tightly: "In that case, you should stop him even more."
"The third prince is determined to seize the throne through meritorious service, how can I possibly persuade him? Hastily persuading him will only make the third prince more prepared. If he succeeds in regaining the Evil God Soul Crystal, it will only bring trouble to Yejun."
, bringing greater trouble to our big merchants."
Facing the frightening look in the middle-aged man's eyes, the old man said calmly: "So I can't stop him, I can only let him go. When the time comes, whether it is failure or death, at least it will not damage our Dachang business."
Vitality can even give us a chance to overcome the enemy."
Having said this, the old man paused for a moment, and then continued: "The third prince is of royal blood after all. Even if he is taken down, his life may not be in danger. But if he really dies because of this, your Majesty can use this as an excuse."
Find the forces secretly instigating the third prince, and ask them to make corresponding compensation, so that our Dashang strength will be further improved. Considering His Majesty's pain of losing his son, and because now is not the time to break up, there are also Badu
The alliance is behind us, even if the opponent is not weak, they will have no choice but to give in when the time comes."
"As for avenging the third prince, as long as we become stronger, we will always find opportunities, whether overt or covert."
"But now compared with the third prince, the future of our Yejun and Dashang is the most important!"
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"
After saying that, the old man leaned deeply on the ground without saying a word.
"I see……"
After listening to the old man's words, the middle-aged man's expression changed. After a moment, he returned to normal. He nodded and said, "The Prime Minister is right. Compared with one person's life, the future of our Dashang and Yejun is the most important.
.As long as I, the Great Shang, can regain my position as the common master of the world, let alone the third child, I will be willing to sacrifice my life."
"In that case, then do as the Prime Minister said!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man suddenly waved his hand, and then a golden light shot out from his palm, instantly surrounding the entire hall!
Puff puff puff puff puff!
The next moment, except for the middle-aged man and the old man who were not injured at all, all the other guards and maids in the hall were directly beheaded and turned into headless corpses and fell to the ground. Even their souls were completely wiped out.
"What happened today cannot be spread to other people's ears, and you will have someone clean this place up later!"
Dozens of people were slaughtered in an instant, but the middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged. He stood up, turned around, walked into the hall, and left.
Then he and the dozens of headless corpses were the only ones left in the entire hall.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The old man leaned on the ground and responded. It wasn't until the middle-aged man left that he stood up. Then he looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed heavily.
For the glory of Dashang and the future of China, no matter how many people die, he can only continue to follow the cruel but equally wise emperor.
Thinking of this, the old man took a deep breath, then waved his right hand, and then the corpses and blood on the ground disappeared without a trace in a ray of blue light.
After disposing of all the corpses, the old man opened the front door of the hall and walked out.
