low-key is king

Chapter 204 Are you ordering me to do something?
"Mother, in the battle outside the east gate, my Yan family was indeed defeated, but it was not a fault of the war. All of this is the vicious trick of that old Lu Mingyang!"

Regarding the queen's question, Luo Wuxu had no choice but to tell the truth, but said it a little tactfully. If possible, the Yan family would definitely not hesitate to use those tricks.

Just win!

It's just that when Luo Wuxu received the information from outside the east gate, Luo Wuxu was actually a little startled and confused.

The sudden collapse of the ground, the appearance of a six-level monk and a mysterious skeleton were the keys to the defeat of the Yan family's army.

These changes were all attributed to Zhendong King's conspiracy by Luo Wuxu, but he was not without confidence.

The greatest confidence is the moat outside Tianyang City, and the wall of the east gate of Tianyang City is high and thick.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, if Lu Mingyang wants to attack Tianyang City, he will have to pay a huge price, even his life!"

Luo Wuxu kept comforting the Empress, finally it relieved Yan Chaolu's worry a little bit, seeing that she stood up slowly, her face was not as pale as before.

"That's right, I still have a strong city to defend in Tianyang City, so why is Lu Mingyang afraid of him?"

There was a gleam of hatred in Yan Chaolu's eyes, and now she is already at odds with the Zhendong Palace, her younger siblings and two uncles all died at the hands of each other.

"Tianyang City has high walls and thick walls, so my lady just wait for the good news from the Patriarch!"

When Luo Wuxu said this, he seemed to want to reach out and pat Yan Chaolu on the shoulder, but in the end he didn't.

Some of his thoughts have always been buried deep in his heart and have never been revealed.

"Sorry, excuse me!"

Just when Luo Wuxu withdrew his hand, a voice suddenly came from the depths of Chaoyang Palace, which shocked both of them. At first, they thought it was Yan Rong who had arrived.

After all, only the head of the Yan family knew about the secret path leading to the Chaoyang Palace from the Yan family.

In the past, Yan Chaolu had never seen anyone else come out of this passage.

But when Yan Chaolu just turned her head, she already realized that the voice was wrong, until she and Luo Wuxu both saw a rather young figure in fine clothes walking out slowly.

"who are you?"

Luo Wuxu took a few steps forward calmly, and stood in front of Yan Chaolu. Although he had some guesses, he had to guard against it. What if the king of Zhendong came out with some demon moth?
"My name is Xuan Jing!"

The young man in Chinese clothes didn't care about Luo Wuxu's vague aura, he even had a smile on his face, and he said, "Don't be nervous, it was Yan Rongdao who told me the secret way!"

The young man in fancy clothes who called himself Xuan Jing seemed to be familiar with him, he went straight to the phoenix chair and sat down, without even looking at the body lying on the ground, what he said made Luo Yan and the two of them slightly relieved.

Especially Yan Chaolu, she knew the Yan Clan's secret path, apart from her father and herself, she probably didn't even know about those two dead uncles, let alone some outsiders.

"But His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince of the Daxuan Dynasty?"

Thinking of some things his father had said to him, Yan Chaolu's mind flashed, and suddenly he thought of someone, if Xindao didn't have such an identity, how could Yan Rongdao take it so seriously?

"The Empress is really smart!"

There was a faint smile on Xuan Jing's face, but when he mentioned the word empress, there was an imperceptible trace of disdain, after all, this is just a small Xuanyang country.

"In front of Your Highness, don't dare to call him that!"

At this time, Yan Chaolu had recovered her usual shrewdness, she even heard the strangeness in Xuan Jing's tone, and immediately expressed her attitude.

Such a statement made Xuan Jing nodded in satisfaction.

He is the Ninth Prince of the Daxuan Dynasty, and in his heart, the so-called Empress Empress is only that Empress Daxuan, not this unknown Yan Chaolu.

If Yan Chaolu didn't know what to say, Xuan Jing didn't mind teaching him a lesson. Fortunately, the other party didn't disappoint him and lowered his status on his own initiative, so everything would be fine.

"Yan Rongdao is a bit useless, the prince who lost money still valued him so much!"

Xuan Jing changed the subject, and the first sentence he spoke again made Yan Chaolu dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it, he could only bow his head and sulk.

"Why, did my prince say something wrong? I thought that you, the Yan family, were so ambitious, and your subordinates must be an army of hundreds of battles. I didn't expect that you would be so vulnerable!"

There was a sneer on Xuan Jing's face, he naturally knew what the two people in front of him were thinking, but his mood was not so good, and he always wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.

To be honest, Xuan Jing still has injuries on his body at this moment, and it is impossible for the injury from being blasted by the mechanism skeleton in the underground mausoleum to completely heal within this short half day.

"Your Highness, it can't be blamed on my Yan's army being vulnerable, it can only be blamed on that old thief Lu Mingyang being too insidious. If the judge and Yinhu didn't come out suddenly, my Yan's would not..."

"Judge?"

Luo Wuxu was a little annoyed, and when he said the key to the battle outside the east gate, before he finished speaking, the eyes of Xuan Jing were already blazing, and he interrupted him directly, and even asked a question .

"Yes, judge, it should be the killer of the Hidden Assassination Society!"

Luo Wuxu didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he still emphasized that he didn't know if His Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince of the Daxuan Dynasty, would also be afraid of hidden killing.

After all, for the Daxuan Dynasty, the Hidden Killing Society was an unavoidable hurdle.

No one in the direct line of the Daxuan royal family can ignore the past of a certain emperor being assassinated on the dragon chair by a hidden assassin.

"Tsk tsk, if you don't die like this, this judge's life is really big!"

Just when Luo Wuxu was thinking nonsense, Xuan Jing on the phoenix chair murmured, although there was a smile on his face, but the tone was extremely cold, as if the cold wind was biting the bone.

Yan Chaolu and Luo Wuxu looked at each other, secretly thought that the judge was so famous, even the Ninth Prince from the Daxuan Dynasty had heard of his name?

"What do you think is the relationship between the judge and the Zhendong King?"

Xuan Jing pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked such a sentence, it seems that he still has a bit of brooding over his defeat in the tomb of the mechanism master.

The most important thing is, since the judge is not dead, and even controlled the skeleton mechanism, wouldn't the Qingxuan crystal coffin in the mausoleum also fall into the hands of the judge?

On the one hand, Xuan Jing harbored resentment towards the failure in the mausoleum, on the other hand, it was driven by greed. The value of a pair of Qingxuan crystal coffins was worth any risk he would take.

"I've been to the Hidden Assassination Society branch in Tianyang City, and according to the people there, they couldn't find any news about Judge and Silver Fox!"

Luo Wuxu told the truth, this made Xuanjing thoughtful, secretly thinking that the actions of those two killers might not be under the control of the Xuanyang State Hidden Assassination Society branch.

In this way, it is convenient for him to act. As long as the Hidden Killing Society does not intervene, then he will not have any scruples. He must also get the Qingxuan crystal coffin.

"His Royal Highness Xuanjing, you are the Ninth Prince of the Daxuan Dynasty, can I ask you for help, then..."

What Yan Chaolu was more concerned about was the battle at the East Gate. She suddenly thought of Xuan Jing's identity. If this person spoke, forgive that King Zhendong would not dare to be too presumptuous.

After all, Xuanyang Kingdom is only a vassal state of the Daxuan Dynasty, and it has to offer a large amount of annual tribute every year.

In a sense, the Daxuan Dynasty is the master of Xuanyang Kingdom.

If the master speaks, can the subordinates not listen?
"Empress, are you ordering me to do something?"

Hearing this, Xuan Jing narrowed his eyes, and an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, causing Luo Wuxu, a monk of the five realms, to change his expression greatly.

This guy belongs to the dog, right?
"Your Highness calm down, your empress has no such intentions!"

Now that things have come to this, Luo Wuxu can only bite the bullet and stand in front of Yan Chaolu again.

He could sense the aura of a six-level monk on Xuanjing's body, and if he really made a move, he would definitely not be an opponent.

"It's Zhao Lu who has spoken recklessly, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Yan Chaolu also knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. The person in front of her was not something she could order, whether it was status or strength, so it was better to give in as soon as possible.

"Remember, in the eyes of this prince, you are all just ants. I will do what I want to do, and you'd better not mention what you don't want to do. Do you understand?"

Xuan Jing at this moment is quite complacent, this feeling was never possessed in the Daxuan Dynasty, but in this small vassal Xuanyang Kingdom, he is supreme.

"Understood!"

This time Yan Chaolu and Luo Wuxu didn't dare to say anything more, if they really angered the Ninth Prince of the Daxuan Dynasty and killed them in this Chaoyang Palace, they would really want to cry without tears.

"The Daxuan Dynasty generally doesn't care about the small civil wars of the vassals, but in my prince's heart, I still prefer your Yan family to be in power, otherwise I wouldn't ask my father for that royal decree!"

Now that the two were obedient, Xuan Jing's tone became much more relaxed, and it was not until he finished speaking that Yan Chaolu and the two finally knew that the royal decree was requested by the Ninth Prince in front of him.

"You should have understood the content above the Wang Ling. The first prerequisite for me, Daxuan, to support your Yan family is that you can win this civil war and eliminate all factors of instability!"

Xuan Jing changed the subject, and after telling this fact, he sneered and said, "You guys have let my prince down!"

Hearing these words, both Yan Chaolu and Luo Wuxu felt a little ashamed, but when they knew about this king's decree, they never imagined that this battle would turn out like this.
