"Prime Minister, if I cannot wake up, the new emperor will be decided by the old ministers of Fire Seed."
After saying these four sentences, Emperor Ying III closed his eyes.
The imperial doctors immediately surrounded Ying III.
The prime minister took a deep breath, looked at the queen whose face had turned ashen and the three princes who looked terrified, and maintained the composure that a prime minister of Ying State should have.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince, you have heard His Majesty's order. Forgive me for offending you, but I ask you four to be careful with your words and actions for the next period of time, and it is best to stay indoors."
The eldest prince seemed to be the least sophisticated and was the first to burst out: "Father, what does this mean?"
The Prime Minister said coldly: "It is obvious that your Majesty suspects that someone else assassinated him."
And the person suspected by Ying III is one of these four people.
There is no conflict of interest between the Ying Kingdom and the Assassin's League, and Ying III and Jue Jianxian have never had any intersection.
The people who really wanted Emperor Ying III to die were naturally the people within the Ying Kingdom.
Of course, Ying State also has many external enemies.
However, it seems very obvious who Ying III is guarding against.
The second prince also spoke slowly: "Prime Minister Li, it is normal for father to have such suspicion, but why did he give the right to investigate to Hongye?"
Li Xiang said bluntly: "At the time of the incident, only Princess Hongye was wandering outside, and she had already said she had given up inheriting the throne and chose to join Xuandu Temple for cultivation. If we were to say who is the most innocent, Princess Hongye is more innocent than any of the old ministers. Let her investigate the truth, and the whole court will be relieved."
The second prince said calmly, "What if Hongye is trying to use this as a pretext to frame us?"
The third prince added, "Hongye has been very close to Ji Changsheng, the young leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, recently. It is said that they travel together and sit together. There are also rumors that the two have a mutual admiration for each other. Fourth sister, I naturally believe it, but the young leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult... must be guarded against. What if this assassination was secretly planned by the Heavenly Demon Cult? Taking this opportunity to infiltrate our Ying Kingdom, or even using the relationship between Ji Changsheng and Hongye to support Hongye to take the throne, is there such a possibility?"
The third prince's two words made many ministers think deeply.
The eldest prince, the second prince and the queen also looked at the third prince in surprise.
Li Xiang frowned and said, "Third Prince, there is no need to speculate. The secret law pavilion's assassins have confirmed that Yu Bihai is now in the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and his injuries are more serious than your majesty's. This matter has nothing to do with Yu Bihai."
When Prime Minister Li brought up the "Secret Law Pavilion", the Third Prince immediately shut up.
The Secret Law Pavilion is a secret organization established by the Ying Kingdom to target the major immortal sects. Its original purpose was to analyze and develop various skills and treasures.
Later, on this basis, the intelligence function was added. After all, some skills and magic tools are the secrets of the major immortal sects, and I need to have a deep understanding of them before I can analyze and transform them for my own use.
Later, the Secret Law Pavilion formed a new team - the Secret Law Enforcement Team, which was composed of the most elite soldiers in the Ying Kingdom’s army and specialized in assassinations and undercover operations.
When Emperor Ying III was assassinated, the Secret Law Pavilion did not receive the news in advance. The Pavilion Master had already been confined to his mansion, and everyone in the Secret Law Pavilion had begun to work at full capacity.
The news coming from the Secret Law Pavilion has not been wrong for a long time.
Since the Secret Law Pavilion said that Yu Lao Mo is now seriously injured, then the "Absolute Sword Immortal" this time cannot be Yu Lao Mo in disguise.
Li Xiang continued, "Fairy Linglong is about to ascend to heaven, and the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to become the largest sect in the world. At this critical moment, Princess Hongye can befriend the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, which will benefit our Ying Kingdom more than it will harm. If Ji Changsheng really wants to come to Ying Kingdom, the government and the people should give him a warm welcome. As for what he says and does, just observe carefully. In our Ying Kingdom, Ji Changsheng can't turn the world upside down. The most urgent task is to call Princess Hongye back and let her preside over the investigation of the assassination of His Majesty. Do you have any objections?"
There was no more objection from the government and the public.
After all, Emperor Ying III had just issued the order in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. Anyone who dared to disobey the order would be charged with treason.
Only the Empress, the Eldest Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince dared to open their mouths to question, but if they wanted to stop it, they did not have the power to do so until it was confirmed that Emperor Ying III had passed away completely.
Therefore, before Ying Hongye returned to Ying State, he had already received the news from Ying State.
Ying Hongye was a little dazed: "My father has assigned me to investigate his assassination. Changsheng, what does this mean?"
Ji Changsheng carefully read the information that Li Xiang reported to Ying Hongye, especially focusing on the arrangements made by Ying III for the Queen Mother, the First Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Hongye, our dad doesn't trust anyone around him."
Ying Hongye no longer cared about Ji Changsheng's words. She was still immersed in shock and sadness: "I didn't expect that my father would even be on guard against my mother."
Speaking of which, from the eldest prince to her, the four brothers and sisters are all born of the same mother and are the closest siblings to each other.
On the surface, Ying III was a rare infatuated man in the royal family.
He did not take concubines, had no romantic affairs, had zero scandals, and his love for the queen was unquestionable. This was a legend in the court and the country of Ying.
Of course, this matter is no longer valid for Ji Changsheng since Luo Qingling's identity was confirmed.
After taking a look at Ying Hongye, Ji Changsheng had a guess in his heart:
Emperor Ying III was so wary of the Queen Mother, could it be that he had an accident outside and was discovered by the Queen Mother?
However, this kind of speculation is not suitable to be communicated with Ying Hongye.
Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye stepped onto the teleportation array together.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ying Hongye walked out of the teleportation array, and his face turned pale.
The oncoming eerie ghostly aura made Ying Hongye shudder subconsciously, and then he realized where he was: "Santu River? The bank of Huangquan? Xuandu Temple? Changsheng, we went to the wrong place."
"That's right."
Ji Changsheng took Ying Hongye and went to pay a visit to the temple master as soon as possible.
"Master, I have done meritorious services for Xuandu Temple and shed blood for it. I want to see Fairy Linglong."
Viewer: "..."
He silently took out a small box.
"Here's what you want. Don't add those lines next time. Keep the way you speak simple."
Ji Changsheng opened the small box.
In the box was a golden pill that smelled fragrant and shone with golden light.
Ying Hongye's face lit up with joy.
Ji Changsheng also felt a little relieved.
"Thank you for your generosity, Master. With the magical medicine from Xuandu Temple, the life of Ying III should be saved."
"This pill can only sustain life. The internal and external injuries of Ying III require the right medicine." The temple master reminded: "Unless it is the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill made by Master Taiqing himself, the effect will not be so fast. Don't take it lightly."
"Thank you, Master. Hongye will always be grateful to my father and the people of Ying State."
The master nodded slightly: "Hongye, your father's accident this time may not be directed at him. Back then, it seemed that Xuandu Temple and Emperor Ying were on opposite sides, but things are not as simple as they seem."
Ying Hongye nodded: "My father told me that if Fairy Linglong really wants to kill people, Yingguo will not be able to stay."
The master of the temple sighed lightly and revealed a little inside information: "Changsheng, Hongye, you must be vigilant about the future of Yingguo. Yingguo... is an early test of the struggle for the emperor of the prehistoric fairyland."
Ji Changsheng's mind moved: "Experiment?"
The master nodded: "Senior sister has told me that if a Daluo-level being wants to do something but is not absolutely sure, he will often use his great magic power to let the sentient beings in the small world deduce for him. After a long time, Daluo will get an answer. This answer may not satisfy Daluo, and it may not necessarily happen, but it will allow Daluo to have a psychological assessment."
Ji Changsheng almost couldn't keep his expression calm.
If this is the case, then the mythological stories he knows are very likely to be some great man's deductions about the future.
The Immortal Emperor of Antarctica?
"In our world, the Ying Kingdom has a powerful person who is deducing for the Human Emperor. If you follow the Ying Kingdom's path, can you become the Human Emperor?"
The master of the temple hesitated for a moment, and then said bluntly: "This great man is the great master Xuandu. When the Ying Kingdom started, the biggest supporter was our Xuandu Temple, but it was very secretive."
Ying Hongye was moved.
This was also the first time that Ji Changsheng knew this inside story.
"The great wizard's deduction failed?" Ji Changsheng asked.
"Yes." The master of the temple said, "Master Xuandu has given up the current route of the Ying Kingdom, and only asked Senior Sister to protect the Ying Kingdom from being destroyed by the immortal gate. It seems to me that the marriage between Senior Sister and the Bai family is also related to this matter. I only got to know the inside story of many things after I became the master of the temple, and I can't see clearly how deep the water is behind the assassination of Ying III this time."
Ji Changsheng digested all this information and said to the master, "Master, give me a list of the people and forces that you and our Xuandu Temple dislike in Ying State."
The master of the temple: "... Changsheng, please don't mess around."
Ji Changsheng explained, "Master, rest assured, I will not do anything rash. Ying III has already given Hongye full authority to investigate his assassination. Hongye, you should also make a list. When we arrive in Yingguo, I will let Yingguo's friends witness the demeanor of Xuandu Temple and Tiansheng Sect's number one detective."
Chapter 188: Season Fast Boy's Experience: The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed
Ji Changsheng stayed in Xuandu Temple for half an hour this time.
This is very inconsistent with Ji Changsheng's efficiency.
But everyone expressed understanding.
After all, this is Old Demon Ji's return home in glory, and Old Demon Ji really has old friends in Xuandu Temple.
Ji Changsheng talked in detail with his beloved senior sister Taiyin Xingjun for half an hour before boarding the teleportation array to Ying State.
In the teleportation array, Ying Hongye asked Ji Changsheng curiously: "What did you talk about with Master Li?"
Ji Changsheng recalled his conversation with Li Changxi.
Li Changxi told him something very important:
"Junior brother, if you run into trouble during your visit to Ying State, you can seek help from Prime Minister Li."
"Li Xiang?"
"Yes, he is the current prime minister of Ying State."
"Is he related to my senior sister?"
"Among all the famous people with the last name Li, except Li Qinglian, they are basically all from the Li family."
Ji Changsheng was speechless.
Your Li family is so awesome.
Is there a comrade named Erfeng?
If the Ying Kingdom is destroyed, I am very optimistic that he will build a Great Tang Dynasty.
“Senior Sister, this means that your Li family has bets from all sides, and they are all in high positions.”
There is Li Changxi in Xuandu Temple.
The Hehuan School includes Li Huanyan.
There was also a Prime Minister Li in the Ying State.
There are people with the surname Li everywhere.
They all hold high positions.
The Li family is really lucky.
Li Changxi nodded, thoughtfully: "Brother, now that you mention it, I wonder if it's my fault?"
"what?"
Ji Changsheng was screwed by Li Changxi.
Li Changxi explained: "As the Taiyin Star Lord, I am temporarily acting in the name of the Li family. The Li family is able to benefit from my luck. If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. This logic is very reasonable."
Ji Changsheng: "..."
He often feels out of tune with Li Changxi because he is too thin-skinned.
It's so shameless.
However, Li Changxi's tone was too serious, causing Ji Changsheng to unconsciously follow Li Changxi's logic and think about this matter, and then nodded subconsciously: "It is indeed possible."
"It seems that my junior brother and I have the same opinion." Li Changxi nodded with satisfaction: "The Li family has me, which is really a blessing from the ancestors. I should have half of the family property."
Ji Changsheng said seriously: "What are you talking about, Senior Sister? All the Li family's assets should be yours."
Li Changxi smiled happily: "Not really, not really, Junior Brother, we should still be more humble."
Ji Changsheng continued seriously, "That's why I only said that the Li family's assets should all belong to you, Senior Sister. If we are being realistic, then the Li family should owe you at least 10 billion high-quality spirit stones."
Li Changxi was already smiling: "Junior brother, if you can talk, just say more."
"Senior sister, next time the Li family chooses the head of the family, I will definitely vote for you."
Li Changxi said with a very regretful tone: "You don't have the right to vote."
Ji Changsheng casually asked, "Senior Sister, doesn't your husband have the right to vote?"
Li Changxi shook her head: "No, only members of the Li family can vote."
"Then I'll go visit some of the Li family members. I'm good at persuading people."
