Southwest of Three Imperial Cities, not far from the Third Prince's Manor, Imperial Guards is coming and going. Although he is not too close, he is constantly monitoring the situation of the Third Prince's Manor.
In the Third Prince's Manor, Baiyi and Suyi sat looking at each other, discussing countermeasures.
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother must have seen it when he came. Now, Imperial Guards has surrounded this place. Without the instructions of the two Demon Emperors, Commander Xuan Mo would not dare to have any For this behavior, I didn't expect that even the two Demon Emperors would think that Marquis Qingyuan and King Beizhen were the fault of me. This time, it's hard for me to defend them," Xuan Qing said with a bitter smile.
"Then was the Emperor Brother responsible for this?" Ning Chen looked at the person in front of him and asked seriously.
"No"
Xuan Qing shook his head seriously and said, "I'm not stupid enough to put myself in such a passive situation. Even if I want to get rid of these two people, I will use other methods instead of choosing this extreme method."
Ning Chen nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "The current situation is indeed not good for my brother. First Prince Although you have lost two capable men, my brother, you have been pushed to the forefront. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."
"I understand."
Xuan Qing said solemnly, "So, I need your help Thirteenth Imperial Brother."
"Me?"
Ning Chen frowned and said, "Brother Emperor, you should know that I can't protect myself now. After that Xuanluo came to the imperial city, I had to be careful all the time. After all, it's hard for me to deal with a master who is in the middle or even late stage of King Realm."
"I may have a way to get rid of this person." Xuan Qing said seriously.
"Oh?"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Brother, does the emperor have a solution, or is the emperor willing to lend troops to me?"
"None of them."
Xuan Qing shook his head and said, "I wonder if Thirteenth Imperial Brother has ever heard of a spell called Curse Arts?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it." Ning Chen said intently.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, in the primitive demonic realm, there was a large clan named Qihuang who was famous for their magic. They were very prosperous because they were good at all kinds of strange spells. Legend has it that anyone cursed by the Qihuang clan could not escape the fate of death even if they were thousands of miles away. Later, the Qihuang clan because of many He committed injustice and was annihilated by several royal families. When he was about to die, the great elder of the Qihuang clan carved the last three talismans with his own life source, named the three talismans of heaven, earth and man. Among them, the most powerful heaven talisman and earth talisman have long been missing, while the human talisman has been transferred several times and now falls into my hands."
While talking, Xuan Qing took out a wooden box. In the wooden box, on the yellow silk satin, a cyan jade talisman lay quietly there, with a strange aura flowing, which was very extraordinary.
"This is Human Talisman."
Xuan Qing said sternly, "Although Human Talisman is not as powerful as Heaven Talisman and Earth Talisman, it still has incredible power. According to my inference, the power contained in this Human Talisman is enough to kill a strong man who has just entered the king realm without being aware of it. As long as that Xuanluo's cultivation level has not exceeded the late stage of King Realm. Even if this Human Talisman cannot kill him, it will definitely seriously injure him. With Thirteenth Imperial Brother's strength, it shouldn't be too difficult to get rid of a seriously injured King Realm expert. The emperor's whereabouts are being monitored at all times and he cannot act at will, so he can only help Thirteenth Imperial Brother here."
Ning Chen looked at the talisman in the wooden box, thought quietly for a long time, put the talisman away, and said, "Thank you Third Imperial Brother."
Seeing the former accept the curse, Xuan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thirteenth Brother was willing to appreciate it, and the rest would be easy.
"During the days when Thirteenth Imperial Brother left the Demon Realm, did he encounter some assassins in black?" Xuan Qing said seriously.
"Yeah"
Ning Chen nodded, without hiding anything, and said, "No less than ten times."
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother have you ever thought about who sent these people?" Xuan Qing asked.
"It's a fair guess, but there's no evidence."
Ning Chen looked at the First Prince's Manor in the northwest and said, "There is only one person in the entire imperial city who is deliberately trying to get rid of me."
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother, I know you don't want to be involved in the battle between me and First Imperial Brother, but you have also seen the current situation. You and I are both people that First Imperial Brother wants to get rid of at all costs. If we don't join forces, we will soon be defeated by him one by one."
Having said that, Xuan Qing didn't mince words anymore and said directly, "Thirteenth Imperial Brother, I need your help."
Ning Chen was silent, and after a moment, he said, "Brother Emperor, what do you need me to do?"
When Xuan Qing heard this, joy flashed in his eyes, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "It's very simple. Thirteenth Imperial Brother only needs to stand up and speak a fair word for me, and there is nothing else to do."
"Okay."
Ning Chen nodded and said seriously, "Since the emperor has been wronged, it doesn't matter if the emperor stands up and says a word for the emperor. In addition, I will find a way to inform the commander-in-chief Xuan Mo of the injustice of the emperor. I hope the commander will stop monitoring the whereabouts of the emperor in disguise."
Xuan Qing heard this, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thirteenth Imperial Brother, Brother Huang, I would like to thank you in advance."
Ning Chen Seeing this, he also stood up, supported the person in front of him, and said softly, "Brother, you are welcome, this is what I should do."
After saying what needed to be said, Ning Chen didn't stay any longer. After saying goodbye, he left Third Prince's Manor.
Outside, the sun was setting in the west, and the day was about to pass. Ning Chen glanced at Imperial Guards who was patrolling not far away from Crown Prince's Estate, smiled lightly, and walked away.
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, at sunset, Ning Chen returned. In the house, Shi Yu Shi Qing had already returned first, waiting quietly.
"Has the tea been delivered?" Ning Chen walked into the hall and asked.
"Sent it away." Shi Yu said softly.
"What did Master say?"
Ning Chen picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and said calmly.
"The Demon Emperor asked His Highness to be careful in his words and deeds, not to be afraid of trouble, but not to be troublesome." Shi Yu said.
Ning Chen heard this and smiled dumbly. His master really understood him and knew that he was going to cause trouble again.
"Tomorrow, send another tea." Ning Chen asked.
"Yes." Shi Yu respectfully accepted the order.
"You guys go down first." Ning Chen said.
"Yes"
Shi Yu responded, taking Shi Qing beside him and walking out of the hall together.
After leaving the main hall, Shi Qing finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Sister, Nine Nether Demonic Emperor doesn't seem to like drinking tea. Why does Your Highness still send tea?"
"Your Highness is not delivering tea, but asking questions." Shi Yu said softly.
Shi Qing heard this and looked puzzled, saying, "What do you mean?"
Shi Yu turned around, looked at Plain-clothed Figure in the palace, and said, "His Highness should be asking the Demon Emperor about something."
"I don't understand."
Shi Qing shook his head and said, "It's so troublesome. Why don't Your Highness just go and ask."
"I don't quite understand either."
Shi Yu sighed softly, "Maybe we can't go. Well, we shouldn't know these things. We just need to do the things His Highness has given us seriously." "Oh."
Shi Qing nodded in understanding and softly agreed.
In the main hall, Ning Chen sat quietly, drinking cup after cup of tea, thoughts flashing through his eyes.
So far, there are two things that are urgent and must be resolved as soon as possible.
The first thing is the trouble of Xuanluo. Xuanluo knows his identity. Although he is temporarily afraid of the existence of the master and does not dare to stand up and clarify the facts, this is an uneasy factor after all. Once Xuanluo senses the danger, he will probably choose to expose everything and burn them all.
If that day comes, even Master will be hard-pressed to protect him. Although the war between Outer Heavens and Primeval Demonic Realm has not yet broken out, since Three Demonic Emperors has planned a war between the two realms, he will not let him leave alive.
As for the second thing, it is to provoke civil strife in the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan as soon as possible.
Compared with the first thing, this matter is actually more difficult to handle.
The matter of provoking civil strife in the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan must be hidden from Master. After all, Master is still the emperor of the Heavenly Demon Clan, and it is impossible to allow him to act recklessly.
In the past two days, he did not dare to go to Nine Nether King's Estate because he was afraid that the master would notice the bloody aura on his body. Imperial Dao Supreme Being was so powerful that it could not be measured by reason, so he had to be careful.
Outside the hall, night fell, Ning Chen stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.
At this time, Shi Yu came over with the hot tea that had just been brewed. When he saw that His Highness was about to go out again, his expression changed obviously.
"Don't think too much, I'm just going for a walk today and have a drink with someone."
Ning Chen Seeing what the girl in front of her was thinking, she smiled softly and immediately walked out of the house.
On the streets of the Imperial City, Imperial Guards were running around, the whole city was under martial law, something happened to two Imperial Authority nobles, and now everyone in the Imperial City was in danger, fearing that it would be their turn next.
Ning Chen walked quietly on the street, his expression calm and indifferent, not affected by the tense atmosphere in the imperial city at all.
To the southeast of the imperial city, in an inconspicuous courtyard, the lights were on, and a beautiful-looking woman was busy preparing dinner for her returning husband.
After taking off his heavy armor, Xuan Mo's face became less serious and more peaceful as he sat at the table to eat.
The feeling of home is always found in the simplest dish of vegetables and a bowl of rice, which makes people linger.
"You can sit down and eat too. You can put it away after you finish eating."
Seeing that the woman was still busy, Xuan Mo said.
When the woman heard this, she smiled gently and said, "Okay."
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
Xuan Mo looked at his wife sitting opposite and said softly.
"You are busy outside, so naturally I have to take care of the things at home."
The woman smiled and said, "You must be exhausted from the past two days."
"Yeah"
Facing his wife, Xuan Mo did not deliberately hide it, but reminded, "Something happened in the imperial city, and martial law is now in place. If there is nothing important, you should not go out these days."
"Okay"
The woman didn't ask any further questions and nodded in response.
Outside the small courtyard, Plain-clothed Figure stood quietly, watching the warm scene in the courtyard without going in to disturb.
Demons are ruthless by nature, but there are exceptions. The master and the Xuan Mo in front of him are all very affectionate people. This is also the few warmth he can see in this cold Heavenly Demon Royal Clan.
He didn't know how long this sporadic warmth could last. Even if he didn't want to, one day in the future, he might destroy everything in front of him with his own hands.
