I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 316 Conspiracy
After hearing that Xu Ling finally entered the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, General Zhu has something to tell me to bring to you."

He sat down under the astonished gazes of Gregory and Simon III, and put a solid strength pill into his mouth. The sneaking all the way made him a little tired.

The emperor, who was as tall as two people in one person, first calmed down, not thinking about why Xu Ling could completely hide his traces in the air, and asked first, "General Zhu, what did he say?"

"He said that if you can trust us, give me a token, and then tell me which dignitaries in the city are loyal to the royal family."

"Are you going to reach them?"

Simon III, who was leaning on the chair, moved his body. For a normal person, he should sit up, but he is too fat, making this action look like a seal turning over.

Xu Ling nodded: "We don't have much time. No matter what Sergey's purpose is, he should have done a lot after so many days. We can't let him go on so easily."

The emperor frowned: "I thought about it yesterday, if he didn't invite you to the Immortal City out of good intentions, then there must be some malice."

"...listening to what you say is like listening to what you say."

"what?"

"It's okay, you continue."

"Okay, before this, the Immortal City army under his control has always been hostile to your alliance. If he really wants to do something, he can just launch a war directly. There is no need to invite you into the city with great fanfare."

Xu Ling nodded: "That's right, that's what we thought too, and now that it's confirmed that he probably doesn't have the sincerity of the peace talks, it means that what he wants to do requires us to exist at the same time as something in Immortal City. "

Simon III nodded, the flesh on his face trembling: "Since you know, why don't you leave here as soon as possible?"

"Because we want to solve the problem at once." Xu Ling said lightly.

The emperor couldn't imagine why they made such a decision, and hesitated to speak, but he had seen enough "miracles" from the Xia people, so he didn't say much, and turned back to the matter itself: "I think about it Go, I feel that there are only two things related to this matter."

"One is the World Exterminating Cannon on the city wall, and the other is me."

Xu Ling raised his eyebrows, as if he had expected this statement, he leaned forward slightly, and got closer to the other party, then lowered his voice: "You mean, his plot may involve everyone in the mission, And yourself."

"Yes."

The emperor also lowered the volume involuntarily, and the atmosphere in the room with the closed curtains suddenly became strange, "I suspect that they want to gather us together and shoot us!"

"..."

Xu Ling shrank back, and smiled without embarrassment, "It's not impossible, it's too reckless."

Simon III disagreed: "Sometimes, simple and crude methods are the most effective."

Xu Ling shook his head: "That's not the question. Sergey personally entered the three towns of Dongtu. With his personality, would he take such a risk easily? He must have a more important purpose, or in other words, a greater profit the goal of."

Simon III said with a smile: "Is there any purpose that can benefit more? In the Immortal City now, he can decide most of the things by himself. If he wants to gain anything, he can only be the emperor..."

Xu Ling knew that he had finally discovered the key to the matter.

"Sergey is no longer satisfied, he wants to decide everything, replace you, and become the emperor of the Immortal City."

Simon III was stunned for a while. He was not a person greedy for power, and he contacted the mission only because he wanted to resist and let himself be free, so he couldn't understand Sergey's psychology.

They already have so much power, why should they push forward.

After being reminded, he finally remembered this fact.

Gregory was not as shocked as the emperor. He had always been a bystander. As a bodyguard, he knew exactly how dangerous the palace was. If Sergey wanted to do such a thing, he would not be surprised at all.

Simon III regained his composure and said in a trembling voice: "I think you are right. If he directly kills me and seizes power, the forces and people in the city may rebound. The price of bloody suppression is too high, but if you get involved with outsiders relationship, then he has a solution.”

Xu Ling nodded and said, "That's right, the best way is to kill you and then blame the mission. In this way, he will get rid of the high-level officers of the expeditionary force and you at once."

"Then what should we do? Can we act first?"

The emperor's reaction was calmer than expected. After all, he has survived for more than ten years surrounded by enemies, and he may have long been used to threats to his safety.

Xu Ling hesitated: "Well..."

Simon III got it wrong: "Sorry, I took the liberty, this is still an immortal city after all."

Gregory took a step forward and said earnestly, "Can you sneak into Sergey's mansion and kill him like you came here?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, Gregory."

Simon III stopped his guards, "We can't let others take risks for us."

They had topographic maps and defense maps of the palace, but they didn't know about Sergey's personal protection. He felt that asking Xu Ling to assassinate him would put him in danger.

However, Xu Ling felt that it would not be difficult to just kill Sergei. When he entered the palace for negotiations a few days ago, he quietly hid the throwing knife on his body, which was enough to kill all the congressmen present, and no one could stop him.

But the problem is that the situation in the Immortal City is much more complicated than that of the tribes on the snowfield. If the situation changes suddenly due to violent cleansing, no one can predict what will happen next. It is impossible to kill all the forces with armed forces.

And the emperor himself, to put it bluntly, has only one orthodox title. At that time, the first one might have to be slaughtered to sacrifice the flag.

However, Simon III himself voluntarily denied this idea. Although the motives were different, the result was the same. Xu Ling stopped talking and just said: "So Your Majesty, we need you to master your own power, even if it is not strong enough, just Hunting party."

"I'm already doing it."

Simon III said, "In two days, I will start to test that commander and win his allegiance."

Xu Ling felt very relieved. This teammate just has no foundation, but his ability is not bad.

"Besides, as I said just now, I need a list to confirm that those people in the city are hopeful to win over."

"I can give it to you."

The emperor said, "But, major, please tell me what you people who have come to the city can do. If I win the support of the leader of the hunting team, and you add up, I will be able to compete with Sergei." Are the guards in charge to rival the Ministry of Special Affairs?"

Xu Ling pondered for a moment and said, "If there are no accidents, as long as they are not within the coverage of the World-Exterminating Cannon, no matter how many people Sergey can mobilize in the city, they can all be praised."

Despite expectations, Simon III and Gregory are in disbelief.

But whether they believed it or not, they could only follow Xu Ling to give it a go and handed him the list and an agate ring as a token.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Ling told Zhu Taran about the matter intact, and then received questioning filled with righteous indignation.

"You look down on us too much! Even within the range of the World Exterminating Cannon, we can blow them all up. Do you know how many generals there are here!"

Xu Ling scratched his chin with toothache: "Is it true?"

He suddenly felt a chill behind him, and turned around to find that all the brigadier generals, major generals, lieutenant generals and generals next to him were all staring at him resentfully.
