Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

Chapter 245 Internal and external troubles

While Xiao Hongchen walked towards He Caitou, Wang Dong helped Beibei, who had just been thawed out of the ice and was not yet fully awake, and handed him over to Yin Shuang's care.

Although they have no hostility towards Beibei, their cooperation during this period also confirmed that Beibei is a guy whose emotions can easily get the upper hand. If he saw what happened to He Caitou, he would definitely help He Caitou, the Shrek of colleagues.

Moreover, Beibei didn't know about the one-sided deal between Caitou, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen during his previous exchange period. If he hears something he shouldn't hear, it will be difficult for everyone.

"Long time no see, classmate Xu He."

Xiao Hongchen squatted slowly in front of He Caitou, smiling and looking more like a fox. He Caitou had just recovered from the extreme cold, and his limbs were still stiff and unable to move. He could only lie on the ground and look up at Xiao Hongchen. This posture could easily make people feel scared.

"You..." His vocal cords had just recovered from the freezing and were working very hard, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be so panicked." Xiao Hongchen kindly helped him up from the ground, holding his arms and helping him to a chair next to him.

"I don't want to reminisce with my former classmates. It's a pity that I didn't run into you during the competition. Now I have the opportunity. How have you been lately? While Shrek continues to enjoy the resources of the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, have you ever thought about it? Me and Yuhao?"

He Caitou's eyes widened: "Whatever you want me to do, just say it!"

The teasing look on Xiao Hongchen's face turned cold in an instant. "It's boring." He said, "Well, since you want to go straight to the point, I'll say it directly. You still remember that you are the prince of the old royal family, right, Xu He?"

The cabbage head trembled visibly.

"What are you going to use this identity for?!"

"Do what you think about day and night." Xiao Hongchen leaned down, his pair of blue-green eyes reflecting the wrinkled face of Caitou in the shadow, "Don't you always dream of overthrowing Xu Tianran? The opportunity is right in front of you, as long as you listen to me and Yuhao on the most critical matters, I guarantee that you will be as happy as you want."

……

At the same time, the Imperial City of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran sat in the study with a gloomy expression, which was where he handled government affairs day and night. A quick report was lying on his desk at the moment. The ink on the brown paper had not yet dried, but Xu Tianran's face was darker than the ink.

Orange stood aside, not daring to express his anger. Although she hasn't seen the content of this quick report, all kinds of troubles caused by Shrek's raid have been coming one after another in the past few days, so there must be trouble in the aftermath.

With a "bang" sound, Xu Tianran slammed the desk, causing the pen and inkstone to tremble three times. His voice was cold: "Huh, after the letter from the Three Kingdoms, Shrek actually came to ask me for someone... They still had the nerve to talk about the current situation in the letter."

Orange frowned slightly, Shrek? She remembered that the people who dealt with Shrek were the evil soul masters... As of now, I'm afraid many of those students have died.

This made her feel abnormal. If Shrek confirmed that their students were massacred like this, with their temper, they would not care about the peace of the mainland, and it would not be impossible to directly send super Douluo to blow up Mingdu.

However, the current situation is that they are still in the mood to write a letter to threaten Xu Tianran with the situation in mainland China, asking him to "release the students as soon as possible."

A bad premonition flashed through Orange's heart. Could it be that the Holy Spirit Cult failed to kill those people, and not even a single one of them?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The leader of the Holy Spirit has ensured that Qiankun Wenqing Valley can kill everyone from the leading teacher to the students. In addition, there is also a team of evil soul masters and Zhong Liwu personally sitting there. At the exit, no one was killed?

Unless there is only one possibility, Shrek's people not only escaped, but also fled in the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire - that is to say, those people are still within the territory and hiding.

They only locked up people from other sects and colleges, not the Shrek people.

"Orange, you seem to have something to say?"

Xu Tianran's voice rang in Orange's ears, and she quickly came back to her senses. It seemed that she was too absorbed in thinking and showed some expressions that made Xu Tianran aware.

She didn't hide anything and directly told Xu Tianran all the analysis she just thought of.

"It's very possible. Humph, a bunch of rats!" Xu Tianran shook his sleeves, "How dare you run back under Mingdu's nose. However, Orange, there is one thing in your analysis that I am very concerned about."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The Qiankun Qinggu Valley plan carefully planned by so many evil soul masters, but not even a Shrek person was killed. Should I hold some people accountable?"

Orange's eyes turned cold. "Your Highness, now is not the time," she said. "Your plan still needs the Holy Spirit Sect. If everything goes well, then they will also need their help to maintain stability in the future."

"I know." Xu Tianran rocked the wheelchair and turned around, looking out the window at the palace garden scenery. "Rather than the apparent accountability, I care more about what went wrong with their operation this time."

Of course Orange understood the meaning of Xu Tianran's words. This was a crisis of trust. After all, the plan that was boasted to be so flawless in advance actually had such a huge change, it's hard not to be worried.

"I can tolerate their atrocities, as long as they are loyal to my current career. But if they start to do small tricks before even completing the current thing, it will be unbearable."

"Your Highness, what do you mean...?" Orange asked cautiously.

"Tell my people to be careful with this operation." As he spoke, Xu Tianran tightened his grip on the armrests of his chair, "Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek... after I kill that old guy and successfully ascend the throne..."

The first ray of dawn shone into the Imperial City of Mingdu, and a figure quickly walked through the various palaces. He held a token in his hand, so there were no guards to stop him. If you don't stare at him for a long time, you won't be able to see the faint silver color on the surface of his skin.

This is Huo Yuhao's half body. He made an excuse from the Holy Spirit Cult to recuperate for a few days in seclusion for this assassination operation, locked himself in the room, and left the undead magic circle that only Chi Qiu could open. Therefore, he can focus his mental energy on the actions in Mingdu.

He was not idle for even a second here. After settling the places where Ye Guyi and Yin Yun were going, and saying goodbye to Mr. Kong, he rushed almost non-stop to the east side hall of the palace: the deserted palace of the fourth prince Xu Tianling. palace.

This was a promise to Marshal Liao Mengkai and Marshal Liao proposed that as long as he cured the fourth prince's martial spirit, the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Group would be willing to provide assistance at critical moments. Huo Yuhao also completely understands this. Even if he wants to support a new person, the deep-rooted bloodline concept in the entire continent is difficult to remove, and it is impossible for a prince with a malignant martial soul to be supported. He pulled up his hood, letting the early morning light cast deep shadows on his face. Then he raised the token that Xiao Hongchen had given him before towards the guard at the door of the side hall:

"I am the doctor invited by His Highness."

"Wait a moment," the guard said, "I will convey this to His Highness."

After a while, Xu Tianling came to the entrance of the courtyard. Huo Yuhao was slightly surprised: His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was neatly dressed, holding a candle, and his face was healthy. His overall condition did not look at all as bad as what Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen had described before. Perhaps because he saw the turnaround, even eating tasted better than before.

"Please come in." Xu Tianling made a "please" gesture with great respect.

Huo Yuhao had long ago asked Xiao Hongchen and Jing Hongchen to spread the word through the air, saying that he could cure his martial arts problem, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time. In addition, when Huo Yuhao met Liao Mengkai recently and said "we will meet soon" again, Xu Tianling's joy at this time can be regarded as the result of excellent emotional control.

Huo Yuhao could actually sympathize with his feelings. After all, he had thought more than once back then that if his martial spirit had been that white tiger, his mother's fate would not be so bad... Of course, he no longer thinks so now. The Eye of All Spirits has lived and died with him countless times.

If his encounter with the martial spirit was the result of chance, then the Fourth Prince, who was framed and fell into a terrible fall, could live under the roof of his enemy all day long to save his life, which is also considered an ability.

Xu Tianling held the candle in front, and Huo Yuhao walked behind him without saying a word. The flickering light reminded Huo Yuhao of what Jing Hongchen said: his martial spirit changed from the sun to a useless candle. Under the night, the surroundings were dark, except for the candle in the fourth prince's hand that was clearly extinguished.

The two of them didn't say anything more until they entered the palace. Xu Tianran relied on martial arts to bring him down, and this must be the most vigilant person, so they didn't even dare to talk about this matter in the main hall where they were supposed to be all their own people. Who knows if that guy... can use the soul guide to set any keywords to trigger it.

The interior was brightly lit. Xu Tianling walked behind a landscape screen and seemed to be activating the secret door mechanism. Huo Yuhao waited quietly behind and tightened his hood. He noticed that the screen was painted with a view of the Mindo Mountains.

The Ming Dou Mountain Range is a direct military location for the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and various matters nearby are also very sensitive. And frictions, big and small, have been constant throughout the ages. I don’t know whether the prince erected this screen here to encourage himself to return to the hall one day, or whether he was just looking at the mountains and rivers with sorrow for spring and autumn.

"I'm sorry, my conditions for hosting you are really not good enough." Xu Tianling's voice came from behind the screen. Huo Yuhao walked over and the secret door was already open.

A spacious and bright tea room appeared in his eyes. He quickly scanned it with mental detection and confirmed that there were three or four such dark rooms in the temple, and it seemed that they were all developed after being assassinated - he could probably tell. The renovation didn't take very long.

"These are all small things." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Although His Highness said so, this place is still very clean. I think you have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Xu Tianling took the initiative to lift the teapot and pour tea into the two ceramic tea cups on the table: "To be honest, I do look forward to it, but I don't dare to look forward to it. This hope is too heavy, and I'm afraid it's just a dream."

Huo Yuhao looked at the steaming tea in front of him, and a faint fragrance penetrated his nose. "It's normal to think so." He said, "I have been busy with other things during this period. Your Highness, you should also know that the situation was very complicated during the competition. Brother Xiao and I represented the sect and the academy, so only I received such anticipated news from you, but have never been able to fulfill it.”

Huo Yuhao's words and address to Xiao Hongchen were equivalent to directly revealing his identity to the prince. At this time, he felt that it would be a better choice to directly let Xu Tianling know who was helping him. This was Huo Yuhao's judgment only after Hongchen and his grandson came into contact and felt that the fourth prince was indeed available. .

"These are all trivial matters." Xu Tianling said immediately, "It's not too late now, it can even be said that the time is right."

Huo Yuhao rubbed the edge of the teacup with his fingertips. It seems that Xu Tianling also heard the rumors outside, and maybe he did his best to investigate. Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao mentioned that although there were few attendants in the Fourth Prince's palace, as long as they could enter the room, they were loyal to Xu Tianling, and their cultivation level was above the fifth ring.

It sounds pretty good, but Huo Yuhao had already scouted Xu Tianran during the opening ceremony of the competition. That guy was at least the eighth ring or above, and he had a group of titled Douluo and ninth-level soul master confidants around him. At present, he was far from enough. Touch porcelain.

"The timing is just right." Huo Yuhao slowly repeated his words, "It is indeed true, Your Highness, there is no better time to appear than this. However, His Highness is not the only one who wants to take advantage of this moment. Now it is clear that It can be said that there are undercurrents, internal and external troubles, and people with some sense of smell want to take this opportunity to share something..."

He squinted his eyes, and the silver light swirled in his eyes composed of tangible and qualitative spiritual power: "Me too."

Xu Tianling understood what he said: "This is supposed to give you a lot of reward, but I have been suffering from not knowing what you need. Now that we have talked about this, I will ask straight to the point, what do you want from me? What do you get here? As far as this goes, I'll pay whatever I can give."

"Actually, I don't want much." Huo Yuhao stopped and took a sip of tea before continuing, "Furthermore, this matter is a long-term operation, and His Highness may not be able to get all the conditions I want in a short while. Satisfied. However, I definitely support credit here. Let’s pay a small deposit first.”

"What do you want?"

Huo Yuhao winked slyly: "The map of the Mingdu Imperial City."

Xu Tianling was stunned for a moment, then smiled politely: "The value of your first payment is not low. The deposit is this price, so it seems that the debt I owe you is quite large."

"So His Highness is willing to pay?"

"I can only pay part of it. After all, I haven't left the palace for a long time. The place furthest away from here may have been renovated later but I don't know about it."

Huo Yuhao was also secretly surprised. He actually didn't expect that Xu Tianling would agree, so he had prepared two other compromise options in his heart before coming. The palace map was what he used to increase the price, so as to attract the next two options.

"A little surprised." Huo Yuhao looked into his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I am actually a spy of the Douluo Three Kingdoms? I used you as a tool to defeat Xu Tianran and then immediately ignored you, turning you into a puppet emperor as soon as you ascended the throne. In the end Will it lead to the destruction of the entire Sun and Moon Empire? To put it harshly, I am stronger than everyone you can use."

"I felt it when you came in." Xu Tianling said calmly, "I have lost my martial spirit, so I can't feel it accurately, but you must at least be an Eight-ring Spirit Douluo. Such a person can be regarded as a strategic resource. , I can’t possibly adjust it.”

"In the same way, if you are really an Eight-ring Soul Douluo sent by the Douluo Three Kingdoms - even they should value this level of soul master, there is absolutely no need for you... to go through such a big circle and go through all the trouble Come and use me to deal with Xu Tianran."

"Even my information, if you are not a member of the royal family or a close confidant many years ago, you should not know it, right? And you have such close cooperation with Mingdetang. If you are a spy and a traitor, then why don't you and Mr. Xiao The Hongchen Hall Master on the line will also be guilty of the same crime."

"Hall Master Hongchen... is the person who is most afraid of this. And if I guess correctly," he also took a sip of tea, "Even the specific rumors about my loss of power were probably brought to you by Master Hongchen. ?”

"It seems that cooperating with His Highness is not a wrong choice. You are actually very smart and calm." Huo Yuhao slowly took off his hood, revealing his black hair, "Then Your Highness might as well guess what I want the map for? "(End of chapter)
