Swallowing the Emperor

Chapter 479 Song Xiangyu's Worries
Yunlan Kingdom, the imperial palace.

"What? Merlin is missing?"

"Yes, he disappeared the day after the two major powers of Dongliu and Murong in the burial place were wiped out."

"Then there is no shadow of him in Chang'an City? Nor is Fengshen Academy?"

"No, there are spies in the palace in the three cities of Chang'an, and the Duke Protector has not been found."

"Understood, let's go down."

"Yes."

After the eunuch in charge of reporting the letter left, the second prince frowned and looked at Song Xiangyu.

"Father, where do you think Mo Lin will go? He transferred all the craftsmen in the imperial city to the Boneyard. I thought he wanted to develop his power there, so why did he disappear suddenly? Plus The barbarian warriors he bought, at least thousands of them, just disappeared out of thin air?"

Song Xiangyu frowned slightly, and said: "There are more than 1000 people who want to leave, it is impossible not to leave some clues. Dongliu, Murong, and the three major forces of the Kong Family have been developing in the Boneyard for decades. Being destroyed must be related to Molin."

The second prince said: "How can Mo Lin's small force destroy the three major families? Didn't you say that each of their families has a high-ranking Martial King sitting behind them?"

Song Xiangyu said: "This is also something strange to me, but the problem is that the guardians of their family were all killed on the same day. The one who can do this, the entire Yunlan Kingdom...could it be him?"

"Who?"

Seeing that Song Xiangyu's face suddenly became ugly, the second prince hurriedly asked.

"Ye Wentian, the patriarch of the Ye family, he is the only one who has the strength to kill three high-level martial kings in a row in one day." Song Xiangyu said slowly.

The second prince's face also became ugly: "Father, what you said is that 18 years ago, a person broke into the palace alone and injured Eunuch Liu, who had the strength of a seventh-level martial king, and forced you to hand over Ye Qingxuan's Ye Qingxuan." A mysterious master?"

Song Xiangyu nodded: "Yes, that's him."

The second prince was puzzled and said: "But isn't Mo Lin a deadly enemy with the Ye family? He went to the Ye family to find his mother and was kicked out, and was seriously injured. Could it be..."

The second prince had an inconceivable look on his face, "Could it be that the two of them have reconciled, and everything they did was just acting? It was originally a conspiracy?"

"Why is there no such possibility?" Song Xiangyu said slowly: "Although Ye Qingxuan made a big mistake back then, Mo Lin is after all the Duke of Yunlan and the strong King Wu. , if you are Ye Tunjing, is it necessary to be an enemy of a grandson who has the cultivation of King Wu?"

"If this is the case, then the Ye family is too scary." The second prince exclaimed with lingering fear.

Song Xiangyu said: "The idea of ​​the Ye family is beyond our comprehension, but fortunately, the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole are behind, even if he secretly and Mo Lin jointly ruled the Boneyard, when the army of the heavenly king arrives, there will still Otherwise, you will become a prisoner of my Song family?"

The second prince smiled and said: "It seems that it was a wise move to confer the title of Lord Protector of Molin back then. It is worth paying the price of the three major sects for more than a year of preparation time."

Song Xiangyu also smiled: "So, if you want to achieve great things, you must have a mind to plan strategies and proceed from the overall situation. A moment of humiliation and disappointment is nothing. The winner is the one who laughs last. Since Mo Lin is gone, then Let him live a little longer. General He sent news yesterday that Jiuyouguan has completely fallen into his control. Mu Hongwu refused to obey the order and was killed on the spot by the master of the dark hall. This morning, I have sent People went to Chen's house, Fang's house, and Jiuchonglou, and asked them to send troops to Jiuyouguan to support them, and just took this opportunity to uproot these poisonous thorns."

The second prince cheered up and said: "Father is still wise, and since then, all the enemies of the past will be eradicated."

"Hahaha……"

"His Majesty!"

Song Xiangyu was smiling happily when an eunuch hurried over, "Your Majesty, it's not good."

"What's the panic?"

"People from the three major families of Jiuchonglou, Fang's family, and Chen's family have all run away!"

"What? Run away?" The expression on Song Xiangyu's face froze instantly, "Where did you go?"

The eunuch replied: "Your Majesty sent my ministers to the three major families to preach the decree to send troops to Jiuyou Pass, but the patriarchs of the three major families all avoided them and used various excuses to evade them. The ministers felt strange, so they sent people to force their way in. It turned out that The three major families left only a few servants to guard the mansion, and all the others disappeared. Later, I learned from a servant that all valuable things in the entire clan were emptied! The three major families were all like this without exception! "

"Investigate! Send the Black Armored Army! No, let the people in the dark hall also take action. You must find out the whereabouts of the three major families for me!"

The eunuch left in a hurry.

Song Xiangyu couldn't sit still anymore, her face was gloomy and uncertain, and she paced back and forth.

The second prince had never seen his father so nervous before, and his heart ached.

"Father, will the patriarchs of the three major families have something to do, and temporarily bring the clansman along..." Halfway through the conversation, the second prince also felt that it didn't make sense, so he shut up and couldn't continue.

Song Xiangyu looked at his most proud son, and said in a deep voice: "The three major families have been operating in Hongdu City for hundreds of years, and they will not escape for no reason. There is only one possibility for them to do this, and that is to get some news in advance. , and there is only one reason for them to leave Hongdu City quietly, and that is knowing that the royal family is going to attack them!"

The second prince was surprised and said: "This, is this impossible? There are no more than five people who know about the three major families. They are all flesh and blood relatives of my Song family. How could they inform the three major families? Moreover, Even I only learned of your plan a day ago, even if the three major families got the news, it is impossible for them to escape from the imperial city in such a short period of time."

Song Xiangyu said: "This is what worries me the most. If the guess is correct, the businesses of the three major families in the imperial city should all be closed. You should send someone to investigate immediately. It is impossible for so many people to move without leaving clues about their whereabouts. In addition, the royal family spies hidden in the major cities were mobilized to see if there were a large group of strange business travelers entering the city. Also, didn’t the three major families all have members of the Fengshen Academy practicing? Send someone to see if they are still there."

"My son will go right away."

The second prince took the order to leave.

Song Xiangyu was the only one left in the hall. He sat down slowly, looked at the sky outside the hall and muttered to himself, "Why, why did the accident happen at this time? Who is behind all this? Could it be that the black dragon scroll fell into the sky?" Into the hands of the three major families? But even so, no one has the prestige to make the three major families relocate... Mo Lin, could it be Mo Lin?"

Thinking of this, Song Xiangyu stood up abruptly from the chair.

"Come on."

The eunuch ran in.

"Decree to General Zhenbei, let him immediately take [-] elite soldiers to Chang'an City, in the name of the disappearance of the Duke of the Protector, thoroughly investigate the City of Chang'an, arrest all the people related to the Duke of the Protector, and wait for their punishment."

"According to the order."

The eunuch left in a hurry, and Song Xiangyu's heart, which had always been calm, could no longer keep calm.
