Kang County Prince’s Mansion.

As a county prince's mansion, Kangjun Prince's Mansion is undoubtedly located in a good location and its scale is quite large. However, this house was rewarded by His Majesty when he first became the county king. Even if the location is better, it is only the standard of an ordinary county prince and is not conspicuous.

However, the interior of the Duke Prince's Mansion is unique. Not only is there a small spirit gathering array, but the decoration in the study room where Prince Kang spends most time is even more low-key and luxurious. It is extremely exquisite. In terms of luxury, it is almost as good as Some princes in the magical power realm are only slightly worse than Emperor Longchang's Humble Administrator's Pavilion.

On the walls, ancient paintings worth millions of gold are hung one after another.

In the study room, the gauze curtain made of high-quality silk swayed slightly, and the dragon-shaped texture embroidered on it was lifelike.

In the corner of the wall, a red copper chilong-pattern incense burner is exuding a lingering fragrance. The fragrant pills placed inside are refined from ninth-grade ambergris. They are rare items in limited supply even in Guilong City. , only higher-status members of the royal family received rations.

Next to the desk, Prince Kang was lying on his back on a rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed.

Over the past few days, his tense mood has relaxed slightly. Now he has a rare sense of leisure and relaxation, drinking a pot of "Xianchao Ling Tea" that has the effect of calming and concentrating, while enjoying Princess Zhao Yijing helped him relax his brain with acupressure, which was so satisfying.

"Your Highness, with your public speech, the announcement of the case from the Third Division, and our 'Breaking Dawn' guidance of public opinion, the wind direction in Guilong City has changed." Next to it, Luo Yuqing from Daybreak Organization is reporting on his work.

Luo Yuqing is a graceful Xuanwu female cultivator.

Her facial features are not too delicate, and she only has simple eyebrows and lipstick on her face. She does not wear complicated and exquisite makeup like the princess Zhao Yijing, but her temperament is extremely outstanding, just like her He is of average stature and has a lot of inner strength that no one dares to underestimate.

She is a talent recruited by Prince Kang from a third-grade family in the Immortal Dynasty. She is extremely good at intelligence work. Her direct boss is Gong Yangce, the great genius of the Holy Land. She has also made many contributions to Prince Kang over the years.

"Yuqing, I have worked hard for you during this period." King Kang showed some kindness and approval, "The rumor storm has just subsided, and you need to keep an eye on it more to avoid being stirred up again by someone with intentions. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Luo Yuqing responded, "The previous defeat was due to deliberate calculations, and our manpower has not yet been organized. Now that three divisions have proven His Highness's innocence, I will not let it go. Rumors are rampant again."

"Okay, okay, with Yuqing in charge of Guilong City, my Highness will feel relieved." Prince Kang's face softened a lot, and he smiled slightly.

"Your Highness." Princess Zhao Yijing, who was helping with the massage, said in a slightly flattering manner, "Since you have been proven innocent and have nothing to do with smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, can you help Grandpa Zhikun?"

Counting from Zhao Yijing's generation, Zhao Zhikun belongs to the "grandfather" generation of King Kang. But Zhao Zhikun was related to Long Wuji from Zhao Xiqing, and Long Wuji was his cousin and the same generation as Prince Kang. (The first two chapters were written incorrectly and have been corrected)

As the family grows, there are many marriages to each other. Sometimes the seniority will be confused.

"Huh?" Prince Kang's smile faded, "Yijing, how do you plan to ask His Highness to help him?"

"It's like this. When I returned to my parents' home yesterday, I met Grandma Jiang." Zhao Yijing seemed not to be aware of her husband's displeasure and continued, "She secretly begged me for mercy, saying that the cannon fodder camp is not a place for people. . I hope my husband can secretly smuggle their family to immortality..."

"Bang!"

A crisp sound suddenly sounded in the study.

Zhao Yijing covered her face, feeling the burning pain on her face, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? You..." This was the first time that the two had been beaten since they got married.

"Bastard!" Prince Kang said with an embarrassed expression, "Don't you know what's going on now? Everyone is staring at us and Zhao Zhikun, trying to find some evidence of connection. But you still dare to go back to your parents' home? , and you’re meeting with Mrs. Jiang? Are you handing a knife to Prince An’s group of people? Do you think I don’t die quickly enough?”

Obviously, Prince Kang was very dissatisfied with Zhao Zhikun this time.

"I don't mean this." Zhao Yijing said with panic in her eyes, "I just want Grandpa Zhikun to help you all the time. We can't ignore him if something happens to him, right?"

"A woman's opinion." King Kang waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Now Zhao Zhikun is charged with smuggling and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. This kind of crime can be easily helped? Isn't this a crime for Prince An? The handle? He will definitely hold on to this matter and continue to talk about it at the court meeting, so as to drag His Highness into the quagmire."

"Your Highness, calm down." Luo Yuqing hurriedly persuaded, "The words of the county princess may not be unreasonable. Zhao Zhikun and the Zhao family are on the side of His Highness after all. If something like this happens, they should be punished both emotionally and rationally. Appease him a little to avoid any suspicion."

Kang Junwang's expression was gloomy for a while, and he waved impatiently at Zhao Yijing and said: "You should retreat first. Your Highness has his own thoughts on this matter. Remember, you are not allowed to return to your parents' home for the time being."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhao Yijing retreated a little aggrievedly.

After a while, King Kang suppressed the frenzy in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Yuqing, your identity is relatively hidden. You can secretly visit Zhao Zhikun for me and comfort him, and tell him not to be impatient or impatient. He acted rashly, but as long as I get the position of emperor's son, I will find a way to rescue him from cannon fodder."

"Yes, Your Highness." Luo Yuqing bowed and answered.

"In addition, wake up the hidden child buried next to Zhao Zhikun." Prince Kang thought about it for a while, and said with a stern look, "Zhao Zhikun is a bit henpecked. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand Jiang's instigation. Make something happen. Now is the most critical moment in the battle between emperor and son, and we cannot tolerate any sloppiness."

"Then..." Luo Yuqing's eyes moved slightly, "If Zhao Zhikun makes any changes, how should my subordinates deal with him? He is a magical seed in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, so it is not easy to deal with him."

"Zhao Zhikun is now a prisoner who is about to be sent to the cannon fodder camp. Even if he can be reunited with his family for the time being because of his special status, according to the usual practice, his cultivation will definitely be chained by the shackles of the gods. In both spiritual thoughts and mysterious energy, If he cannot be used, any person in the Heavenly Realm can take care of him." A cold look flashed in Prince Kang's eyes, "Zhao Zhikun, Zhao Zhikun, if it weren't for your stupidity this time, how could His Highness fall into such a passive situation? ? I hope you won’t do stupid things again..."

"Your Highness, I understand." Luo Yuqing's eyes narrowed slightly and she lowered her head.

"Where is Brother Gongyang? Why haven't I heard from him for some days..." After King Kang finished dealing with one thing, he mentioned another matter.

"Your Highness, after Mr. Ce and Zhao Zhikun arranged the plan, he was called back to the Holy Land by Senior Langya." Luo Yuqing said in a low voice, "It should be the emergence of Li Yao's genius, which disrupted Senior Langya's plan. Regarding the layout and rhythm, the senior hopes that Mr. Ce can stay in seclusion for a period of time and accept further inheritance."

"Why the rush?" King Kang said with some dissatisfaction, "The battle between the emperor and his son is not over yet, and the battle for the saint's son is still early. If Gong Yangce had not left his post at the critical moment, how would the Wang family have been able to take advantage of it? Yuqing, please immediately send someone to notify Gong Yangce and order him to return to Longcheng immediately."

"As long as I win the battle between emperor and son, I will definitely do my best to help him succeed."

"Yuqing understands." Luo Yuqing took the order.

"In addition, there is Wang Shouzhe..." As soon as Prince Kang mentioned Wang Shouzhe, his handsome and powerful face was filled with gloom and hatred.

I think back then, he also had the intention of recruiting the Wang family. However, the Wang family in Changning was just a seventh-grade family at that time. He didn't pay much attention to it, and his intention to recruit was not very strong, so he left it to Long Wuji and Gongyang Ce, hoping to suppress the Wang family severely and let them go. They obeyed orders honestly.

But he never thought that the humble little Wang family would suddenly develop to such an extent that he would become a personal thorn in his side.

"Wang Shouzhe is a man of deep scheming and scheming. If it weren't for him, how could Prince An take advantage of the situation and rise up to challenge me?"

"If it hadn't been for him, how could Zhao Zhikun and I have fallen into such a passive situation?"

"Yuqing, do we have a chance to send assassins and kill this beast before the meeting? Give Prince An a heavy blow!" A fierce look flashed across Prince Kang's face.

Luo Yuqing smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "My subordinates have been keeping an eye on Wang Shouzhe's whereabouts. But he stays in the Wang family's main residence most of the time. Recently, due to the suspension order of the Third Division, It’s obvious that he doesn’t even leave the front door and doesn’t step forward...Although the Daqian Wang family has declined, it is not easy to bully. Waiting for someone to sneak in...that is to die."

She was quite experienced in intelligence work, but she had never seen a target be so stubborn, squatting in any place without moving, and when she tried to find him alone, she couldn't find him.

"Huh!" Prince Kang snorted angrily, "This man is not only hateful, but also extremely cunning. It is said that His Majesty has drafted a decree to summon him to participate in this great court meeting. With this person's scheming and acting methods, most of them will Making trouble at the court meeting."

"Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe, since you insist on being an enemy of His Highness, don't blame me for being ruthless. As the saying goes, a monk can't hide in a temple. How can you, Wang Shouzhe, hide in the Wang family's main house in Daqian without coming out? Can those people in your main house in Changning also hide?"

"Your Highness, you want to draw the fire under the cauldron?" Luo Yuqing's thoughts slipped in her eyes, and she said, "It is said that Wang Shouzhe is very good at leveraging others' strength, and will be lenient when he predicts the enemy. His subordinates have been keeping an eye on the connection with the Wang family in Changning. Those cultivators in the Purple Mansion Realm, now they all have their own places to go."

"The whereabouts of the ancestors of the Fire Fox and the two ancestors of the Qian family can be determined to be in their respective families... I also received news yesterday that the ancestor of the Yan family appeared in the main house of the Yan family. Now it should be This is the time when the Wang family's main residence is at its weakest."

"According to intelligence, the Wang family is currently suspected of possessing two Zifu realm combat powers. One is the Zhen clan spirit beast Wang Lilong, who is currently living in the palace. In addition, the Wang family is suspected of having obtained a purple statue from the Gongye family. Puppet of the Mansion Realm..." Luo Yuqing continued after making some calculations, "But since Wang Shouzhe has entered the capital, with his usual cautious personality, there will probably be puppets accompanying him to protect him, so this puppet of the Purple Mansion Realm is probably on him. How are Your Highness going to draw out the firepower?"

"Okay, okay, I heard that Wang Shouzhe is quite henpecked." King Kang drank the spirit tea and said with calculations in his eyes, "If we can capture Wang Shouzhe's wife and some key clan members, it may not be possible to make Wang Shouzhe surrender. . However, in order to prevent accidents, we cannot use our apparent experts."

"Yuqing, it's time to use the Wushi brothers."

"The Wushi brothers?" Luo Yuqing's eyes were full of fear, "They are both rebellious and wanted criminals in the Immortal Dynasty. Will they be too harsh?"

"The Wushi brothers are good at sneaking and hiding, and are very capable of stealing and assassinating. However, since they are willing to take refuge in His Highness, they are naturally those who care about their lives. If they act recklessly, how can I tolerate them?" Prince Kang said , "If Yuqing is worried, I can ask 'Xin Lao' to accompany him again. Xin Lao is in the middle stage of Zifu, so he can suppress the formation and prevent accidents."

"With Xin Lao here, he can also control Wushi, so Yuqing can rest assured." Luo Yuqing said, "My subordinates will make arrangements now and use the fastest mount to fly the chariot and let them catch up. Raid the Wang family's lair before the court meeting and capture Liu family alive, so as to create an opportunity for His Highness to control Wang Shouzhe."

"Everything is so hard."

After the discussion between Prince Kang and Luo Yuqing, a series of arrangements were made. The entire Kangjunwang Group began to operate in an orderly manner.

……

An Guo Gongfu.

These days, Duke Anguo's mansion is in a dire situation. Zhao Zhikun, a magical species with high hopes in the family and trained as the heir to the chief minister of the cabinet, was involved in a case of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy.

Zhao Hongbo, the family elder who is almost as powerful as one person and more than ten thousand people, was also implicated. He resigned from the position of chief assistant of the cabinet out of "suffering shame".

Although Zhao punished himself in a timely manner and was not implicated in any punishment, and even received a few compliments from His Majesty such as "killing relatives for justice", his reputation among the people still suffered a huge blow.

It is rumored that His Majesty has already intended to let Patriarch Yinda of Dingguo Palace temporarily take over the position of chief minister in order to stabilize the situation.

As the saying goes, there are many people who add icing on the cake, but few people who provide help in times of need.

The Duke's Mansion used to be like a city hall, but now it is deserted and the bustle of the past is no longer the same. In fact, a considerable part of Zhao's industry and business have been affected.

Zhao Zhikun's courtyard is still full of energy and vitality, but some of the servants in the courtyard are less proud than before. They all lower their eyebrows and eyes, and are cautious in every possible way, fearing that they will make any mistakes. Wrong step.

Inside the main wing.

Both Zhao Zhikun and his wife looked quite miserable. They sat across the table with a look of anger between their eyebrows.

Especially for Zhao Zhikun, the exquisite weapon-refining mechanism-"God Locking Shackle" extended from his abdomen to his cheeks like a piece of armor, wrapping him tightly.

Objects like fine needles like cow hair penetrate deeply into the Qi Hai Xuan Core in the abdomen and the spiritual platform above the head. Once the spiritual thoughts and Xuan Qi are used, the pain will be excruciating.

"God Locking Shackle", this is a very expensive weapon-refining creation.

Only monks and criminals in the Purple Mansion Realm have always been eligible to enjoy it. Once they are put in the divine shackles, they will not be able to exert even 10% of their strength.

Zhao Zhikun had only seen this kind of powerful torture instrument in the cannon fodder camp, but at that time, he probably never even dreamed that one day this thing would be used on him.

However, without the divine shackles, His Majesty would not pardon him and go home to be with his family. After being reunited for some time, he would be taken to a cannon fodder camp on the battlefield outside the territory.

"Husband."

Ms. Jiang held Zhao Zhikun's hand with a distressed expression.

Although she is not a great genius, she is still of a more powerful bloodline among the geniuses. She has excellent training conditions and through her own efforts, she has reached the Purple Mansion realm under the age of three hundred.

Today, she still looks very charming. Under her mature and gentle temperament, she still has the demeanor of a fairy who walked with a sword when she was young.

"Yuanxiang." Zhao Zhikun said bitterly, "I can't help you, and you have been wronged during this period."

"Husband, what are you talking about?" Ms. Jiang said angrily, "You and I are husband and wife, and we are an inseparable body. How can we have any grievances? It's just that I am unwilling to accept it. You He has done so many things for Prince Kang, and even shouldered the burden for him...but what did he do? He rushed back in a hurry and cut off all ties with you."

"Husband, do you know what the outside world says about you? It is obvious that you committed treason to pay off your gambling debts, but in order to reduce the crime and punishment, you still want to bite Prince Kang for no reason!"

"The battlefield gods and heroes are just whitewashed disguises."

Zhao Zhikun said hurriedly: "Yuan Xiang should be careful, after all, Prince Kang is the quasi-emperor and the future emperor. I can't afford to offend him, and the Zhao family can't afford to offend him."

"What future emperor? He is just a quasi-emperor. If you want to be an emperor, you have to ask Prince An if he agrees." After all, Jiang was born in the first rank of the Immortal Dynasty and had a very high vision. She sneered. "I originally thought he was still a figure, but I didn't want his cold-heartedness to be so cold. After this incident, he only sent one of his foreign subordinates to appease us. Husband, he is treating you like an abandoned son."

"Yuanxiang, don't talk nonsense. Now Prince Kang must renounce his relationship with me. Only if he wins the position of emperor's son can he make up for everything." Zhao Zhikun said with a slight embarrassment.

"You know, I put down my dignity and shamelessly asked Yijing to plead with him. As a result, Yijing agreed at the time, but now she avoids me like a plague. Don't you understand what he means? Husband, you Having known Wu Chengsi for many years, have you not even figured out his true nature?" Jiang's face was cold and her tone was cold, obviously she was filled with deep anger.

"This..." Zhao Zhikun's face was also a little uncertain, "We, the Zhao family, have placed all our bets on Prince Kang, and now we can only hope that he will win. And I, if we don't count on Kang, Prince, is it possible that we still expect Prince An to go?"

"We can go, let's go back to Jiang's together." Jiang looked at Zhao Zhikun, the frost in her eyes instantly disappeared, and said with hope, "As long as we can return to Jiang's, we will definitely find a way to lift your lock. Divine shackles."

"Leave? What should we do with the children?" Zhao Zhikun shook his head hurriedly, "What should we do with Zhao?"

He and Mrs. Jiang have had children for a long time, and they even have great-grandchildren. The number of all the children combined is quite large.

"The children are now grown up, and after all, their surname is Zhao, and they are protected by the Zhao family. Even if they are aggrieved in a short period of time, when we have established a foothold in the Immortal Dynasty, we can coerce Prince Kang to send them here The Immortal Dynasty is reunited. As for the Zhao family, what are you worried about in a family that has lasted for thousands of years? Prince Kang has to rely on the Zhao family to ascend to the throne, and when Prince An ascends to the throne, the Zhao family will at best be the next Wang family."

"Besides, I heard that Prince Anjun is kind-hearted. As long as Zhao doesn't do stupid things, Zhao's livelihood will not be cut off." Jiang opened her mouth with a series of analyses. Apparently, she had been thinking about these things a lot during this time. .

She is also the legitimate daughter of a first-class family in the Immortal Dynasty. Even though she doesn’t have a deep understanding of the Zhao family, she still has some basic insights and can grasp the key points very well.

She held Zhao Zhikun's hand tightly and prayed: "Husband, in short, you must not go to the cannon fodder camp. I don't know how many pairs of hidden hands will be waiting for you."

Cannon fodder camp!

Zhao Zhikun, who had also served in foreign battlefields with military honors, certainly understood the cruelty and horror of the cannon fodder camp. There was no human rights at all in that place.

Zhao Zhikun's heart trembled, and when he saw the worry and prayer in Jiang's eyes, he was finally shaken: "Yuanxiang, even if I intend to go to the Immortal Dynasty to hide from the limelight. But in this situation, how can we escape? ? Even if you can escape from Guilong City, you won't be caught before you can run far."

"As long as my husband is willing to cooperate, I can still think of a way." Ms. Jiang said, "More than 20 years ago, I met a very interesting kid from a small family in a clothing store when I was shopping. We are quite talkable. She looks ordinary, but is very good at makeup, and can make the fake look real. Moreover, I also have some people and trump cards brought from my mother's family."

"How to run out?" Zhao Zhikun was slightly moved.

"Husband, you must have heard of the Yao family's air transport," said Jiang. "We, the Jiang family and the Yao family, are both of the first rank of the Immortal Dynasty. We are also related by blood marriage to each other. The cloud ray flying boat transported by the Yao family is not simple."

"If Yuan Xiang is confident, I will listen to you this time." After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Zhikun finally made up his mind.

……

Time flies by.

Another five or six days have passed. Not to mention the undercurrents surging in private, there are only three days until the next imperial meeting.

At this time.

In Changningwei, which is quite far away from Guilong City.

A flying chariot pulled by two sixth-order peak dragon eagles was flying through the clouds over Changningwei at the fastest speed, quickly approaching the direction of Anzhen.

The night is hazy and the moonlight is sultry.

At this moment, there were only three people in the flying chariot. One was an old man with a dignified appearance, while the other two were two middle-aged men with thin bodies and an indescribably wretched appearance.

Both two people have a pair of triangular eyes and aquiline noses. Judging from their appearance, they are 60-70% similar.

They are one of the strange people raised by Prince Kang - the Wushi brothers!

They are wanted criminals who have committed numerous vicious home invasion cases in the Immortal Dynasty. They are all strong men in the early stage of the Zifu Realm. They came to Daqian because they were hunted down in the Immortal Dynasty and could not survive. Because he was good at sneaking and hiding, and had some rare spatial skills, he was valued by Prince Kang and recruited as his subordinates.

Ahead, the rippling Zhuwei Lake has appeared in sight. Under the moonlight, the water is rippling like a pool of broken silver, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

The Wushi brothers looked down at Zhuwei Lake from a high position, and almost at the same time they let out a series of weird smiles: "Your Highness has been raising and protecting our brothers for many years, and this is the first time he takes action?"

"Xin Lao, His Highness actually allowed us to kidnap a country girl with a mere Celestial Realm cultivation level...Are you looking down on our brothers a little too much?"

Seeing their tone, the dignified old man frowned slightly. He couldn't stand it, but he didn't say anything. He just warned: "This matter is of great importance. You must not be careless. His Highness has orders. First, Use your small magical talents to sneak in and try not to alert others. Second, if conditions permit, rob a few more core members of the Wang family's direct lineage."

This handsome old man is naturally the "Xin Lao" in the words of the Wushi brothers.

"Didn't you say you would kidnap one?" The Wushi brothers were a little surprised.

"Your Highness is afraid that Wang Shouzhe, who seems to be very affectionate and righteous on the surface, may have long wanted to change his wife privately... If we take this opportunity..."

"Jiejiejie, we understand. Let's identify it first. How beautiful that little lady is."

After saying that, the Wu brothers looked at each other and let out a series of obscene laughs in unison.

Amidst the laughter, the two of them swayed and got out of the chariot at the same time with tacit understanding. Like two black birds, they glided down from the clouds silently.

Soon, the two figures merged into the dark night like two wisps of ink, and gradually disappeared.

……
