Chapter 550: Murder in the Palace
After walking out of the room, Fang Luo looked at the palace wall in front of him in a trance.
He actually refused?
Why did he dare to refuse?
Are the conditions of the Fang family not attractive to him at all?
"Fang Zuoxiang is indeed a man with the world in his heart. Serving the cabinet sounds very impressive, but you are wrong. I have never served the imperial family, the military, or the King of Dingbei."
"Lord God, will others believe you when you say this?"
"I have always served myself."
Thinking back to the conversation with the Destroyed Monarch in his mind, Fang Luo couldn't help but return to question him.
He had half an hour, but before even a cup of tea had passed, their conversation ended in failure.
Fang Luo came here with confidence, but in just a few words, his confidence was gone. He really couldn't figure it out. In this situation of life and death, what reason did the Destroyed Monarch have for not accepting the help of the Fang family?
As long as he agreed, the cabinet's order would come down, and the War Dragon Guards in the northern border and their 100,000 troops would put the greatest pressure on the Wan Yao Dynasty, forcing the Wan Yao Dynasty to send the Destroyed Monarch back safely.
But the Destroyed Monarch refused, refused the help of the Fang family, refused the help of the cabinet.
"How dare you refuse?" Fang Luo couldn't help asking himself.
"Do you know him?" A voice sounded from the side. Fang Luo came back to his senses, turned around and greeted respectfully: "Master Nangong."
Nangong Yi looked at him: "I can almost guess what you talked about. If you have investigated him, you will know that he is not a person who likes to be threatened."
"I didn't threaten him." Fang Luo said a little confusedly: "How dare I threaten a sage-level strategic magician?"
Nangong Yi smiled: "Everyone knows that the Destroyed Monarch is here. Does the cabinet dare not rescue him? If it doesn't rescue, the empire will lose a strategic magician, and the military will be dissatisfied with the cabinet's performance."
"No matter what the situation, the cabinet must rescue people!"
The sharp words made Fang Luo suddenly realize that what he said to the Destroyed Monarch "only serve the cabinet" has implied that the cabinet will not rescue with all its strength if he does not agree.
Although he didn't want to threaten, his words already contained such meaning.
And the Destroyed Lord saw it very clearly. Would the cabinet not help after refusing? Even if it was not the best help, it was better than no action.
No wonder the Destroyed Lord has been sitting on the Diaoyutai, he has considered all aspects.
Thinking of this, Fang Luo sighed. Although he has practiced Taoism for more than ten years and has strong strength, he has not considered many things because he is not in the world.
"Can the head of the Nangong family help persuade him?" Fang Luo asked, and suddenly froze. Why is Nangong Yi here? When did Nangong Yi come to the Wan Yao Imperial Capital?
"I don't have time." Nangong Yi said lightly, turned around and left: "I still have to go home."
Fang Luo was stunned again. He thought Nangong Yi was the biggest confidence of the Destroyed Lord. After all, the two sage-level magicians worked together to break the crisis. But Nangong Yi said such words again. If he didn't help the Destroyed Lord, what was he doing here?
Seeing Nangong Yi disappear from his sight, Fang Luo felt powerless. It was too difficult. These people's thoughts were too hard to guess. Was this a battle between magicians? How could it be full of intrigues?
Fang Luo turned around and glanced at the door. After all, he did not step in again. He walked out of the palace in a daze.
"Mr. Fang, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Ping, who was at the gate of the palace, was startled when he saw Fang Luo coming out. He was full of vigor and energy when he went in, but why did he become so distraught after coming out?
Fang Luo, who was in a bad mood, ignored Lin Ping and made a phone call after returning to his residence.
"Grandpa, I failed." Fang Luo's tone was full of disappointment and unwillingness.
"It's okay, you are ready to return." The voice on the other side was still calm, as if it had been expected.
"Grandpa, I..." Fang Luo weighed his words: "I want to try again..."
"No need." Fang Xiuzhi's voice came over: "Come back as soon as possible, it's very dangerous there now."
"Letting you go there is mainly to let you feel that the world of magic has other things besides strength." Fang Xiuzhi continued: "Practicing is not just about practicing hard in the mountains, but also about opening your eyes to see more of this world."
"I understand." Fang Luo said: "Thank you for your teachings, Grandpa."
"Well, let's go back."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Luo breathed a sigh of relief. He was also relieved that his grandfather did not blame him. His teachings echoed in his ears, and his eyes showed confidence again.
Seeing Fang Luo coming out, Lin Ping hurried in: "Mr. Fang, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Fang Luo said: "Let's go back to China."
"Ah?" Lin Ping was confused. Why did he suddenly have to go back to China again? Was the matter done?
Fang Luo did not explain to him, but walked out first. Lin Ping could only follow him quickly. He was weak, and staying here was just waiting to die.
...
"Master, we are ready." Song Yan said respectfully: "You can leave and return at any time."
Nangong Yi nodded. Nangong Muxin had fallen asleep in the car. The weakening of the contract had a great impact on her.
"What about you? Have you made up your mind?" Nangong Yi looked at Xiao Xiaoha who looked depressed: "Are you going or staying?"
Xiao Xiao Ha was not as determined as he was at the beginning to say that he wanted to go back. His heart was in an endless struggle.
"You can't help." Nangong Yi said lightly, and Xiao Xiao Ha's expression became more depressed. Its strength was too low, and it could not help the Demon King at all. On the contrary, it would become a hindrance.
"So get in the car." Nangong Yi said without any objection. He didn't want Xiao Xiao Ha to stay from the beginning. The contract weakened but not lifted. Xiao Xiao Ha was needed to help his daughter share the pressure of the curse.
Xiao Xiao Ha looked back at the magnificent palace, got into the car and lay down.
Nangong Yi did not get in the car immediately. Song Yan stood behind him respectfully and did not urge him.
"This place will soon become a battlefield, but it is two different wars."
"That kid failed. I don't know how much confidence he still has." Nangong Yi smiled.
"Won't the head of the family take him with him?" Song Yan asked thoughtfully.
"No." Nangong Yi said, "Bringing him will be troublesome. There will be no peace on the way. I don't want to disturb my precious daughter. Besides, that boy can't go with me."
"A man's dignity?"
"No." Nangong Yi shook his head, "It's the spirit of revenge."
Song Yan was stunned. Nangong Yi had already turned around and got into the car: "Let them do what they want."
"Yes." Song Yan closed the door and got into the passenger seat. The convoy set off and returned along the way they came.
...
Pah!
Su Xiaobai put down his chopsticks, and the clean plate that seemed to have not been used was left on the table.
Ji Tianxuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he knew that Su Xiaobai was an orc, the appearance in front of him was no different from that of a human. He felt a little uncomfortable even eating bones.
"It's delicious." Su Xiaobai leaned back in the chair and wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly: "It's OK."
"Hmm?" Ji Tianxuan raised his eyebrows slightly. What's OK?
Su Xiaobai stood up: "That god general looks ready."
Ji Tianxuan's face darkened: "A strategic magician who is comparable to a sage is ready, and he will burst out with powerful strength even when he is dying. You actually waited for him to be ready?"
"No, no, no, I'm not saying that he is ready for defense." Su Xiaobai shook his head and walked under the eaves: "What can be done in such a short time? And he failed."
"What failure?"
"He is now suffering from more serious injuries." Su Xiaobai turned and looked at Ji Tianxuan: "It is indeed the best opportunity."
"I know." Ji Tianxuan stood up and said goodbye. It was meaningless to stay here any longer. Su Xiaobai had already informed the time of attack by saying this.
After Ji Tianxuan left, Su Xiaobai walked to the backyard. Li Xiuzhi stood in front of the lake and looked at his reflection in the water.
"You were cultivated by the Demon King. Are you sure you are ready?" Li Xiuzhi's voice was still elegant.
"What else?" Su Xiaobai smiled: "I think this is the best choice I have made."
Li Xiuzhi turned his head to look at this handsome man. There was no hesitation or sadness on his face. Instead, he looked very happy.
Happy?
Li Xiuzhi smiled and heard the famous lich lord say something -
"Life is like a rap. Since you can't resist, you can only enjoy it obediently."
...
In the palace complex, the palace window of the Demon King.
The Demon King, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the endless sky, which was covered with dark clouds and no sunlight could be seen.
Behind him, the annihilation demon emperor Xu Qin held the wheelchair. This great marshal of the million-man army of demon beasts was like the most loyal guard at this moment.
Boom!
The sound of thunder resounded in the sky, followed by a huge lightning that seemed to split the sky in two. The bright light illuminated the earth and the eyes of the demon king.
Hualalalalal...
The heavy rain poured down, hitting the eaves, the ground, and the trees, forming a beautiful symphony.
Xu Qin waved his right hand gently, and no drop of rain could enter the window.
The sound of rain was accompanied by thunder, and lightning flashed.
"Is this the heaviest rain in recent years?" The Demon King asked softly.
Xu Qin nodded: "It has indeed been a long time since it rained so heavily, but I don't know how long it will last."
"It's better to rain harder." The Demon King smiled slightly: "Heavy rain can cover many traces."
Xu Qin said nothing. He was older than the Demon King. He witnessed the Demon King's rise to his current status with his own eyes. It's just that now, he saw white in the Demon King's dark and thick black hair.
The hero is old?
No, the Demon King is at the most glorious age. If you insist on saying that the current situation should be living towards death!
Boom!
A thunder!
In the sky, a lightning that lasted for hundreds of miles did not go out for a long time, as if it was rushing straight towards the palace, causing a commotion among the imperial guards in the palace.
"This old bastard!" Xu Qin's face darkened, and he looked at the lightning with a cold voice: "Your Majesty, the Golden Dragon Phoenix is too arrogant!"
The Demon King's expression was not as gloomy and angry as Xu Qin's. He said lightly: "The position of the Demon King is not inherited from the father to the son like the Qin Dynasty, nor is it elected like the Sky Eagle Empire. Whoever has the strength can sit on this position."
"We are beasts after all. In the world of Warcraft, the bigger the fist, the more right it is. This has never changed."
"Now that I have become like this, of course they want to covet this position, so there is no need to be angry over such a small matter."
"What makes me angry is that this old man Jin Longfeng has no self-awareness. Even if Your Majesty is no longer at the top, Jin Longfeng cannot be bullied by a great demon emperor. He is not worthy!"
The Demon King smiled and saw that as the lightning disappeared in the sky, a full moon actually poked its head out from the dark clouds and heavy rain. It looked extremely bright in the dark night, covering the entire imperial city with a silvery glow. .
"Li Yinxiao!" Xu Qin had murderous intent in his eyes.
Roar!
A roar exploded the next second, and violent winds and rain rolled in, forming dark vortexes in the sky. The entire air became heavy, and cracks appeared on the surface of the stone bricks that made up the ground, like spiders in bloom. net.
"Cang Yun Ji!"
Silver-winged Dapeng royal family, Netherworld Dark Wolf royal family, Iron-backed Cangxiong royal family!
The heads of the three clans are demonstrating to the palace and the Demon King!
"They can't sit in this position." The Demon King said softly: "They are self-aware, so at this time they are beating gongs and drums and shouting."
Xu Qin had a flash of inspiration and asked with an uncertain tone: "Su Xiaobai really wants to sit in this position?"
The Demon King looked at the pouring rain outside: "Who knows?"
…
Outside the window, Su Yian looked at the changes in the sky and realized that the conflicts within the Ten Thousand Demons Dynasty had become acute enough to require the use of force.
"No wonder they dared to set up in the Capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperors. They had known for a long time that this would happen inside the palace, and the Demon Emperor was powerless to distract them."
Su Yian murmured, knowing that the attack on him was about to begin, but his heart was in sharp contrast to the sound of rain outside.
He was not nervous at all. On the contrary, he was looking forward to who would attack him.
Boom!
There was another thunder, and Su Yian felt a shadow being lengthened. He turned around and saw Su Xiaobai dressed in snow-white.
"Master General Shen doesn't look nervous at all." Su Xiaobai smiled slightly: "Are you no longer afraid of death?"
"Do you want to usurp the throne?" Su Yian asked.
"Don't say it so harshly." Su Xiaobai's two fox ears twitched: "In this country, strength is respected, and the position of the Demon King is won by strength. You can fight against the demon at any time and anywhere. Challenge for the throne of the emperor.”
"The Great Demon Emperor has great confidence in the Demon Saint."
"The god general can also kill strategic level beasts and sages as a strategic level magician. Others may not be able to do it." Su Xiaobai said quite confidently: "It is the god general who wants to return home safely. Is there a solution?"
boom!
Thunder exploded, and a thunderbolt that looked like a roc swooping down fell towards the palace. The light shone and the night turned into day!
