Chapter 307 The Muddy Waters of the Indestructible City
Although Xu Ling always felt that the title of Immortal City Emperor was no different from that of the village tyrant of Shui Buffalo Village, he still expressed enough respect for the God-Selected Person sent by His Majesty.
After a while of introduction, Xu Ling learned that the other party's name was Gregory, who was responsible for following Emperor Simon III since childhood and was also his security defender.
"So……"
Xu Ling always kept a safe distance from the other party to prevent being attacked by melee combat. "What do you want to say to me if you asked me to come here?"
Gregory seemed to have rhinitis and would sniff from time to time. He spoke in a muffled voice, and did not directly answer the question, but said, "Do you know who this manor once belonged to?"
Xu Ling thought to himself that I knew there was a ghost. I searched for this street for a long time, but I didn’t even know what it was used for.
He shook his head.
Gregory continued: "After a dozen years ago, its master was the elder brother of His Majesty who should have inherited the throne."
Xu Ling, who was originally calm in his heart, suddenly became a little guilty.
Hey hey hey, why do you feel like you are talking about some royal secrets? If you are a palace fight, don’t pull outsiders in, I’m not interested.
He did not respond, and Gregory continued with a look of fear: "But three days before the Highness should succeed the throne, he was accused of murdering the former king. The parliament determined his crimes and executed him overnight. The next day he declared the orthodox throne inherited by His Majesty."
Xu Ling felt even more guilty.
Isn’t this development the current emperor murdered his own brother and seized power? Fortunately, my family has no throne to inherit.
Then he thought of his sister and felt a little relieved.
Come on, that guy's enthusiasm for power is far less than ice cream.
Suddenly, Xu Ling discovered a blind spot.
If the facts are really as I have guessed, then why did His Majesty the Emperor send his confidant to tell him the outsider?
Could it be that it was to kill someone, so that it deliberately told a secret and then it could silence you with peace of mind?
It's impossible, this reason is too nonsense.
Xu Ling stopped his mind's thoughts, and simply asked directly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Gregory ignored it and said to himself: "After the execution of that highness, all his property was confiscated, except where he once lived, which was vacant, and no one has entered for more than ten years, has become what he is now."
Seeing that his tone was stiff and seemed to be very secretive, Xu Ling ignored his own questions, so he simply lay down and stopped asking questions, waiting for the other party to continue talking.
However, Gregory stopped at this moment, staring at Xu Ling dumbly, which made him feel a little scared, and his hand that was always on the hilt of the sword was tighter.
At this time, he suddenly saw the other person reaching his hand into his clothes.
Xu Ling made a big alarm in his heart, and this action might be to draw a gun.
The next moment, the strong man who was snoring and snoring took out a note.
"Oh, oh, I'll go on, but none of this is true, it's a lie woven by the parliament, that highness..."
Xu Ling was speechless and had a long time to do this guy was memorizing lines. No wonder his tone was so stiff.
"Okay, okay, give me the stuff, I'll see it myself."
Gregory hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently and handed out the note in his hand.
Xu Ling frowned and read it carefully, roughly understanding everything.
The Highness who was supposed to be on the throne had a heroic ideal, that is, like the expeditionary army, hoped to revive the entire winter country of snowfield.
But to do this, you must unite all tribes, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish even with the power of the Immortal City.
But once the tribes unite under this flag, no one will be left outside to work hard labor. At that time, Immortal City will not be able to exchange for the extra magic crystal and magic beast materials for a price equal to free purchase.
Gupi
For all humans on the snow field, this is actually not a bad thing. It reduces internal friction and helps everyone make progress.
But there was a group of people who could not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen, that was the powerful class in the city, headed by several old boys in the parliament and their families.
If the exploitable tribes are lost, how can they stay in the immortal city to spend time and enjoy everything that power can bring?
So things are very obvious. Here, the actual power of the parliament, including Sergei, was the one who had already been undermined, but they were just puppets that they helped to power.
The man Gregory in front of him was the messenger he sent.
Xu Ling saw the words written by the emperor at the end of the note.
"I ask everyone from the north in the name of Simon, and I hope you can lend a helping hand to help the Kingdom of Winter restore its former glory. At that time, our two sides will be able to carry out unlimited cooperation and work together to rebuild the human order in the east of the world."
There are some polite and complimentary words below.
Xu Ling thought that this emperor had the same ideals and ambitions as his brother. If he could really take power in Immortal City, it would be a good thing for Xia Kingdom.
Of course, the premise is that the wish expressed by Gregory in front of him is true, not some larger trap.
“I will bring the news back.”
He said solemnly, "Please convey my respect to His Majesty the Emperor, and hope that the Thousand Kings will take care of their own safety. From now on, we will meet here with a one-day interval and two-day cycle."
Regardless of whether it is true or false, he plans to bring the information back first.
"Okay." Gregor nodded vigorously.
Before leaving, Xu Ling suddenly turned around and asked, "Why did you sleep here when I came?"
Gregory's wide face turned red: "I didn't expect you to find this place so soon, and I thought you might have to wait for a day or two."
Xu Ling didn't say much. From a professional point of view, his jointing method is too hasty. If he secretly joins hands with the other party, a little carelessness may lead to exposure to both parties.
However, it is useless to complain about teammates at this time. He talked about some things to pay attention to when meeting next time, and then left first.
When he returned to the hotel, Xu Ling first checked his room and found that there was no sign of anyone entering, so he felt relieved.
When it was dark, the delegation that followed Sergei for another day came back, and everyone gathered in Zhu Talan's room again.
"Some people who are investigating, let's talk about what they found today."
First, a lieutenant colonel said: "The Royal Grand Theater, after investigation, is the private property of the Chancellor of the Finance Department. It was originally owned by the royal family. I don't know what means he used to obtain it. Some things recorded in the middle are vague."
This was not important news, and several decision-makers just nodded and went to ask the next one.
Several people took turns to say it, but they didn't give anything worth noting.
Zhu Talan comforted him, "It's okay, it's only the first day, so it's normal that I can't get any clues. Anyway, I don't plan to talk about the serious matters when I see that Sergey is in the short term."
At this time, Xu Ling suddenly said quietly beside him: "Boss, you haven't asked about my investigation yet."
Zhu Talan was happy: "I forgot you. Why, did you find a club or a foot washing city?"
Others also laughed. Although the pink little card was weird, it was not a big deal compared to positive information, such as the social relations and asset structure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and some even thought it was just a prank.
Xu Ling tugged at the corner of his mouth: "That place is not a club. It belongs to a heir to the throne, but now people are already cold."
The people in the room were a little overwhelmed by this unfolding.
It’s not that they have no concentration and are shocked by this content, but that no one expected Xu Ling to say such a thing.
He continued: "I met the envoy secretly sent by the emperor at Kreman Street, now at 19 Reign Street. These things were all said by him, and I have not fully confirmed them yet, but if you have this thing, you can take a look first.
There was a silence in the room. Xu Ling walked up from the corner and handed over the note written by the emperor.
Chapter completed!
