Chapter Nineteen: Listening to All Things
The whole room fell silent for a moment, everyone was thinking seriously about His Highness the Crown Prince's words.
Impossible! Even if the original Pro Island did not reach the lifespan it should have, it is simply nonsense to want to return to the sky with the flying wall that has fallen into the sky!
"This is simply nonsense... Is that what you want to say?" Prince Mingxi directly dismissed his thoughts and continued, "The queen mother also said the same thing back then. Once he really finds this power,
The source of Feiyuan, rash snatching will definitely cause Feiyuan to be shattered, but Emperor Father doesn’t think so, and he has no intention of taking the entire Feiyuan back with him. He has made precise calculations. As long as the four surrounding capitals are sacrificed, then Tianyu City will be destroyed.
It is completely possible to fly again."
"They had the most serious quarrel since they met. Perhaps it was only then that my father realized for the first time that he and his mother had become strangers without knowing it."
"He insists on his idea, because humans have lost a long life since the island of Pron fell into the sky. He wants to go back, to the sky where he once was, so that he can regain the lives that have been lost long ago."
Prince Mingxi couldn't help but shook his head with sad eyes. His father longed for endless life, but his mother ended her own life in front of him.
He gained all the power in the world because of her, but he forced her to death for his own selfish reasons.
"He didn't stop in the end." Xiao Qianye finally sneered and shook his head, "Not only that, but it even got worse. Queen Wen Yi's death has no meaning at all."
His Highness the Prince looked at him sternly, without denying that eternal life has always been a meaningless thing, but for some things, you have to wait for a long life before you can... wait for the day of miracles.
"Why do Your Highness object?" Xiao Qianye suddenly turned around and asked him sternly, "If His Majesty Tianquan takes the entire Tianyu City to fly into the sky, he will definitely not leave you behind. There is no loss to you, why do you
Want to resist him?"
"Perhaps it's because I have half of the alien blood after all." Prince Mingxi smiled faintly, with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes, "My mother's half of the blood often makes me feel a little... well, how should I put it, uneasy
?”
He shook his head, feeling that what he said was wrong, but he couldn't find a more suitable word. Mother and child were connected, and he could vaguely feel that there must be a more important reason for his mother's decisive opposition. However, after years of searching, he still found nothing.
.
"I don't want to fly to the sky with Tianyu City!" Gongsun Yan quickly interrupted, "Although the Gongsun family has moved to the imperial capital long ago, there are still many uncles and aunts who stayed in Dongming. Now most of the people in the imperial capital
The nobles are in the same situation, right? Xiao Qianye, although there are not many people in Tianzheng Mansion, you have always had a few close friends in the four major cities for so many years, right? Can you bear to let them become victims together? "
This sentence stopped Xiao Qianye and made him think quietly for a few seconds. There are ten generals in the military pavilion, distributed in the four major capitals. There are indeed several subordinates with humble backgrounds, and the imperial capital city is actually under the jurisdiction of the Forbidden Army. If
If Emperor Tianquan really flies into the sky with only God, the military pavilion will undoubtedly lose its current status!
He sighed and finally asked the core question: "So His Highness suspects that the Lingyin tribe's escape is also related to this matter?"
Prince Mingxi nodded seriously and said thoughtfully, "The Lingyin clan has a special ability called 'listening to all things'. It is said that the leader of this clan can talk to any living being, even stones that have become spirits can hear their voices.
, When my father married Lan Ji, it was probably because of this ability. After all, the power he was looking for was too hidden, so maybe this special ability can help him."
"Then why did he kill the Lingyin clan later?"
"Because Lan Ji refused to say anything, he was angered and issued an order to exterminate the genocide."
"But... her daughter is still alive." Xiao Qianye suddenly realized that the matter was not simple, and looked serious, "Lan Xin was imprisoned in Tianzhiya and was never executed. Could it be that the purpose is to listen to the ability of all things?"
"Most likely." Prince Mingxi nodded and acknowledged his words, "Why did the imperial capital ask you to come here to arrest people in person? They are just two fugitives who have been exterminated long ago. Do they deserve to have the master of the military pavilion come to hunt them down in person? Because
Lan Xin is very important to him, and as long as she doesn't die, maybe one day he can pry her mouth open."
"So the reason why these two people escaped was because Emperor Tianquan was self-defeating?"
"No, it's not self-defeating." His Highness the Crown Prince denied him without hesitation this time, "This is simply a conspiracy, to save Lan Xin, or to release Cang Qi, but it just happens to be used for eternal life.
The person who performs the experiment is just Tianshi."
Xiao Qianye frowned and thought carefully about the complicated pros and cons. If the other party was so capable, wouldn't it be faster and more direct to do it himself?
Is it just to hide his true identity? Or maybe... he has reached some kind of agreement with Emperor Tianquan?
Before he could think clearly, Prince Mingxi had already begun arranging tonight's actions. He took out a map and spread it on the table, motioning for Xiao Qianye to come over and take a look.
"The mirage is on the back of a giant turtle. Usually the giant turtle will sink in the sea. The building on the turtle's back is protected by magic and will not be soaked in water. The giant turtle will land on the coast four times a year. The four seas around Feiyuan
Once each, only Biluohai is the largest this time and has the longest stay. This is its internal structure diagram. Take a look at it, it may be helpful."
Xiao Qianye took the map. The Mirage is a three-story building with three gates surrounding it. The outermost is the market, the middle is the dance floor, and the innermost is the so-called "Museum".
Prince Mingxi pointed to the museum and reminded: "Do you know what this museum is?"
Xiao Qianye nodded: "Is it an auction? There is human trafficking in it. It was renamed 'museum' in order to hide it from others."
"That's right, Qianye, I will also arrange for people to go to the mirage to investigate at night. You will work separately. You will find the fugitive, and my people will test the new building owner."
"Is there any problem with the new landlord?"
"It's hard to say." Prince Mingxi frowned, "The original owner of Haishi passed away in a shipwreck last year. This is the first time I have heard that Mirage will suffer a shipwreck in so many years."
"Could he be deliberately trying to lure us in?" Xiao Qianye couldn't help but worry. The seal of Cangjiao was destroyed, the Lingyin tribe escaped and hid in the mirage, and the original owner suffered a shipwreck and died at this time. This series of events
Is the incident too much of a coincidence?
Prince Mingxi stood up, walked in front of him, and bowed his hands in a bow.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! This is unbecoming of one's status..." Xiao Qianye jumped up quickly, and saw Prince Mingxi solemnly extending his hand to him, formally inviting him for the first time: "I hope you can help me, my father will definitely not
He will give up his ascension, and I need your help to stop him."
Xiao Qianye hesitated for a moment and did not extend his hand. He had no intention of participating in the infighting among the royal family. All he wanted was to protect his remaining family members.
Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly - his only remaining family member was sitting by the window, silent from the beginning to now, acquiescing to all the prince's words with silence.
"I can threaten you." Prince Mingxi glanced at Yun Xiao, and finally shook his head, "But I still hope that you are willing."
The prince's eyes seemed gentle, but in reality they were harsh and could not tolerate his rejection.
He thought for a while, took a step back, and did not take his hand. He just made a courteous salute to His Highness the Crown Prince and said: "I am willing to believe His Highness's words and serve His Highness. However, after the investigation of this matter is clear,
Please also ask Your Highness to help me investigate another matter..."
"Another thing?" Prince Mingxi looked at Xiao Yibai, obviously having guessed something.
"Please tell me, Your Highness, the truth behind the Tianzheng Mansion's massacre eight years ago!"
He suddenly raised his head and looked directly into His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes. There was a flash of shock and hesitation in those eyes, but he concealed them without any trace of expression.
"Ming Xi, promise him." Xiao Yibai coughed lightly and opened the curtains. The dazzling sunlight suddenly poured into the room, illuminating the livid faces of several people, making them look particularly gloomy.
"Okay, I promise you." Prince Mingxi had no choice but to relent.
Seeing the subtle relationship between the two, Xiao Qianye suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between His Highness and my brother? When did he join Feng Mo?"
"He - he is my savior." Prince Mingxi covered it up casually and smiled, "You might as well ask him yourself. He did a lot of ridiculous things when he was a child."
"I know this, let me tell you." Gongsun Yan quickly grabbed Xiao Qianye, held him up and walked out. He grabbed a handful of Yun Xiao and said with a smile, "Don't hold me back here, we can do it tonight."
We are going to catch people in the mirage, so go and rest quickly."
After a few people walked out, Gongsun Yan quickly pushed open Yun Xiao's room next door, pushed the two of them in, and waved: "You two chat for now, I'll get you some snacks, and I'll be back in a minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he locked the door and returned to the prince's room again. Seeing him come in, Prince Mingxi hurriedly called him over and asked: "Gongsun Yan, you came just in time. I still have extra invitations for Mirage."
Of?"
"I didn't issue those things, so why are they all coming to me to ask for them?" Gongsun Yan muttered dissatisfied, but still took out a few from his sleeves and handed them to him, "What do you want to do? This is what I left for the city.
Don’t let me take everything from my sponsor.”
"Leave one in Tianche's room, and I'll ask the host to wait for him here."
"You don't want to bring him into the group, right?"
"Give him a favor, maybe he can use it later."
Gongsun Yan rolled his eyes at him and continued: "It's not safe in Haishi. The new building owner doesn't know where he comes from. Please don't cause trouble for me. Just stay in Xiao Qin Building. Xiao Yibai and I will go there tonight."
That’s it.”
"Young Master Yan is right. You are in Xiao Qin Building. I feel relieved that the owner of the building is here." Xiao Yibai also nodded, "Mingxi, since your goal has been achieved, go back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. You are the prince after all.
I came here privately and caused a discussion."
"Then I have to wait for you to come back from Haishi before returning to the Imperial Capital?" Prince Mingxi sighed silently and said worriedly, "When you go in at night, you must test it out and find out the details of the new person."
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't come." Gongsun Yan waved his hand impatiently, "You've nagged me many times, don't worry."
"I don't trust you..." Prince Mingxi looked at Xiao Yibai and hesitated to speak.
"I'm watching him, he's fine."
"Don't force yourself. If something unexpected happens on the way, make sure you are safe first..." The prince took the trouble to remind him again. Seeing that he was going to chatter endlessly, Gongsun Yan felt his forehead was burning and hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, okay, my ears are all gone."
Since you told me that you are calloused, just take a good rest in Xiao Qin Building while I go to see what Xiao Qianye is planning to do."
He ran out in a hurry, and Prince Mingxi shook his head: "It's always like this. He ran away again before he finished speaking."
"Nothing can happen to Mr. Yan, but you are the one who will." Xiao Yibai pointed at him and asked, "How is your health lately? Have you not gotten sick again?"
"I should be the one to ask you this." Prince Mingxi said seriously, "You haven't gotten sick again, have you?"
"I...I'm fine. It's just that sometimes my eyes can't control the color change." He rubbed his eyes, still very tired. The prince remained calm and continued to ask: "Where is your brother?"
"..."
"Is there nothing unusual about him?"
"not yet."
"That's good." Prince Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and finally softened his tone, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go find Tingzhou to discuss something."
"Mingxi." Xiao Yibai stopped him and sighed: "You shouldn't threaten him with me, it will be counterproductive."
"Are you worried about this?" Prince Mingxi blinked, "But you can see from his expression that he is indeed hesitant, right? The explanation is still useful."
