177~179 Working together in collusion, suffering the Qibao Glazed Sect again
"Let me go. He has made it clear today that he wants to make things difficult for us. Didn't you hear what he said? If he wants to imprison us, I'll give it up. He actually wants to imprison the sect leader."
Gu Rong was furious.
"He has the strength to rival a peerless Douluo."
But Sword Douluo's next words made him calm down instantly.
The two soul rings were put into their bodies and their soul power was gathered away. Sword Douluo raised his hands and said to Lin Hanye: "President Lin, Prince Snow Star, I know that no matter what, I can't clear away the suspicion of the Qibao Glazed Sect, but Fengzhi is our Qibao after all. As the leader of the Liuli Sect, and as an auxiliary soul master, he is also on good terms with His Majesty. He has neither the ability nor the motive to harm Your Majesty. What do you think of this? I am willing to stay here in place of Feng Zhi and Gu Rong until the truth is revealed. That day."
Lin Hanye smiled and said, "Sword Douluo's words seem to be out of touch. Everyone knows that when His Majesty was assassinated, you were with us at Haotian Peak. There is no possibility of assassinating His Majesty. However, since Sword Douluo If you say this, then I can't be unkind. I just need Bone Douluo to stay and cooperate with our investigation. This can also be regarded as repaying the favor of Sect Master Ning and His Majesty for helping me resolve the grievances between Haotian Sect. "
Ning Fengzhi's heart sank when he heard this. He originally wanted to use this matter as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Lin Hanye, but now it seems that he can't.
And at first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Lin Hanye's words.
After all, he was not the only one who helped him resolve his grievances with the Haotian Sect, but there was also Xue Ye who was already dead. The key was that Xue Ye was the one who took the lead.
But if this happens, the situation of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will become even more difficult.
"Sect Master, what do you think?" Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi, he thought this was the best outcome.
After all, Gu Rong was indeed very suspicious. If he was not the Protector Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he would probably be suspicious of the other party as well.
There was nothing wrong with Lin Hanye's handling.
What's more, they were just cooperating with the investigation, not trying to kill him. Although there was no evidence to prove that Gu Rong did it, there was no evidence to prove that he did it, wasn't he? "In that case, thank you very much, President Lin."
Although Ning Fengzhi felt aggrieved, he did not have the confidence to refute. He turned to Gu Rong and said, "Uncle Gu, I have wronged you for a while."
"What's the big deal? A good heart is not afraid of slanting shadows."
After Gu Rong learned that Lin Hanye had peerless Douluo strength, he had calmed down. Seeing that he was the only one to be guarded, Gu Rong suddenly lost all the resistance in his heart.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, and took one last look at Lin Hanye and Xue Xing. He became more and more suspicious that Xue Ye was the two of them who had plotted against him and then blamed him on the Qibao Glazed Sect. He just didn't know who it was at this moment.
It would be too scary if there was such a master hidden next to Lin Hanye, right? After Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left, Lin Hanye came to Bone Douluo in a flash and slapped him on the chest with a palm before he could react.
"Lin Hanye, wow."
Gu Rong screamed, spitting acid water and stepped back several steps. Just as he stabilized his body, he found that his soul power could no longer function, and his voice stopped abruptly.
"Marshal Ge Long, I have sealed Gu Rong's soul power. Find a secluded place for him to rest. No one is allowed to come near until the cause of His Majesty's death is found out. As for the rest of the people, please disperse."
Lin Hanye said lightly.
"yes!"
Lin Hanye is a guest of the Tiandou royal family. He holds the token of Xue Yeru's personal visit and has the same status as the emperor. Now that the emperor is dead and Lin Hanye wants to capture the real murderer, Ge Long will naturally obey.
After a while, Ge Long led people to escort Gu Rong away, and the other guests at the banquet also left hesitantly. However, after today, everyone knew that the Tiandou Empire was about to change.
Only four people, Lin Hanye, Dugu Bo, Xuexing and Huang Yueyao, were left in the banquet square.
The four of them came to a pavilion in the palace, and Xue Ye's body was handed over to someone to take care of it.
In the pavilion, Lin Hanye asked Xuexing to shield the palace maid's guards.
"Xue Xing, His Majesty is also your biological elder brother after all. How could you kill him?"
As soon as the four of them sat down, Lin Hanye said something shocking.
"Ah" Xuexing didn't react for a moment.
Not to mention him, even Huang Yueyao was shocked because she never expected that the person who killed Xue Ye would be the playboy prince Xue Xing.
But then again, Xue Ye has no heirs yet, and several other brothers who once competed with him for the throne were killed and demoted by him, leaving only one direct line in the royal family.
If Xue Ye is killed, as long as he is not exposed, Xue Xing's succession should be certain.
But the question is, when did Xuexing have such courage? Could it be that the dandy before was just an act.
Hmm. Judging from the previous performance of insisting that it was the Qibao Glazed Sect, it is not impossible.
At most, I just show my true self and enjoy it.
"No, no. President Lin, I did not kill the emperor brother. I did not let anyone kill him."
Xuexing quickly defended, let alone saying it wasn't him, even if it was really him, he didn't dare to admit it.
Lin Hanye looked at him with suspicious eyes and asked knowingly: "It's really not you?"
"That's not true. President Lin, you must believe me. How could I dare to harm my imperial brother? Even if you give me a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare. And Elder Dugu, you should know me best." , you have to say something for me."
Xuexing defended crazily.
Lin Hanye winked at Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo understood the situation, coughed slightly, and said on behalf of Xuexing: "President, based on my understanding of Prince Xuexing, he should not harm His Majesty."
Lin Hanye sighed and said exaggeratedly: "It's no longer important. Everyone knows that His Majesty has no heirs. After his death, the throne will definitely fall on Prince Xuexing as the biggest beneficiary. , it is inevitable to be suspected, just like how the Qibao Glazed Sect killed my father."
Xuexing seemed to have grasped the key point, "President Lin, is it really the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect that killed my respected father?"
Lin Han Ye Sha nodded matter-of-factly, "Actually, I have long suspected the Qibao Glazed Sect. Of course, the Wuhun Palace was also the target of my suspicion. However, my strength was limited at the time, so I changed my name and lurked secretly. "
"It wasn't until I became a Titled Douluo that I showed my true name to others and found out the truth."
Dugu Bo followed the plan and continued to deceive Lin Hanye from the side: "On the day His Majesty hosted a banquet for our president, after the president revealed his real name, he realized that something was wrong with Ning Fengzhi. That night, he destroyed the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect. Later, he secretly sneaked into Qibao Glazed Sect and heard the conversation between Ning Fengzhi and his father Ning Daorong. It was Ning Daorong who ordered Gu Rong to do it. "
"I really didn't expect it to be the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
As the leader of a force, Huang Yueyao was able to run the Grand Soul Fighting Arena of Golden City, the second largest city in the Star Luo Empire, in an orderly manner. Naturally, she knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the most suspicious. It was one thing to have suspicions, but another to truly confirm it.
Calculated in this way, plus the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect that was wiped out before and the Haotian Sect Tang Lie who threatened him in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, Lin Hanye seemed to have a grudge against the last three sects.
After all this calculation, does it mean that I have become enemies with the other party?
Although it is only a semi-threat, it is still a threat!
Thinking of this, Huang Yueyao couldn't help but think about it carefully, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"I didn't expect that things would come to this. You know, His Majesty, Ning Fengzhi and I were once as close as brothers. But in the end, it was Ning Fengzhi's father who killed my father!"
Lin Hanye looked heartbroken.
Xuexing is very good at solving problems. "President Lin, don't worry. Regardless of whether Ning Fengzhi ordered Gu Rong to do this or not, the Qibao Glazed Sect will not be able to escape its involvement."
"Then please Your Majesty, please take good care of our Soul Master Guild next."
Lin Hanye looked directly into Xue Xing's eyes.
There was a tacit smile on their faces.
An alliance of interests was quickly formed.
Xuexing felt happy, knowing that the main event was coming. Otherwise, if Lin Hanye had doubted him before, he would not have said this after everyone left. He said softly: "This is natural. After I ascend the throne, this will happen." An order was given to build a branch for the Soul Master Guild in Tiandou City. The scale would definitely be on the level of the Spirit Temple. Not only that, the Soul Master Guild Academy would also be funded by the royal family. If the president wanted to establish a branch in the Tiandou Empire in the future. If branches are established in other cities, all it takes is a word."
"Then thank you Your Majesty, but I don't know how I should repay you?"
Lin Hanye likes to deal with people like this who are not very smart, but are very good at getting things done, and are a little smart.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I just need the president to protect my safety during the period before I ascend the throne. In addition, if I encounter some unsighted guys who oppose my ascension to the throne, I hope the president can help me."
Xue Xing expressed his needs, and after experiencing Xue Ye's death, he was frightened out of his psychological shadow. No matter whether it was Gu Rong who shouted to catch the thief or not, Xue Ye, the emperor of a country, was still dead after all.
He didn't want the emperor to die so mysteriously after only a few years in office.
In addition, he really needs someone to scare him to conquer the forces left behind by Xue Ye.
As for his demoted royal brothers, no one can guarantee whether they will use this incident to throw dirty water on him and then make a comeback.
"That's easy to say. Next, I will appoint Elder Dugu as the president of the Soul Master Guild's branch in the Tiandou Empire. If Your Majesty wants to go out or something, you can directly ask Elder Dugu to accompany you."
Lin Hanye said.
"Thank you very much, President Lin."
After listening to Lin Hanye's words, Xuexing knew that his throne was secure.
"Elder Dugu, before His Majesty ascends the throne, I have troubled you to protect Him by His Majesty's side."
Lin Hanye looked at Dugu Bo.
"Yes." Dugu Bo responded respectfully.
Next, Lin Hanye discussed with Xuexing again. After confirming the specific distribution of benefits after Xuexing ascended the throne, Lin Hanye stood up and left.
Before leaving, Lin Hanye did not forget to warn: "Your Majesty, the matter of Gu Rong's assassination of the late emperor must be spread as soon as possible, sooner rather than later. As for the Qibao Glazed Sect, I will handle it personally. , don't pay attention to them. If they dare to do anything detrimental to His Majesty, I don't mind going to the Qibao Glazed Sect in person."
"Haha, it seems like we have to suffer a little more from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. President Lin, don't worry, I will arrange this."
Being able to survive the life-and-death struggle for the throne, in addition to being able to take sides, he is also loyal to his subordinates, and has also won over many powerful officials and nobles in the empire, otherwise Xue Ye would not have relied on him so much after he ascended the throne.
As for hanging among the flowers and becoming a dandy in the eyes of the world, in addition to acting in his true colors, it was more to make Xue Ye, a suspicious emperor, feel at ease with him.
After a while, Lin Hanye and Huang Yueyao left the palace unimpeded.
Huang Yueyao followed him, half a body behind. Lin Hanye could clearly feel that the other person seemed to be afraid of him. After sitting down in the Dugu family mansion, Lin Hanye asked someone to serve a pot of tea, and then said: "Huang Yueyao Director, you seem to be afraid of me?"
"President Lin, look at what you said. We are all old friends. How can I be afraid of you?"
Huang Yueyao was not an ordinary person after all, and she didn't show it so easily. However, the fear deep in the pupils could not escape Lin Hanye's eyes.
Lin Hanye put down the tea and said straight to the point: "I won't elaborate too much. Now I give you two choices. One is to lead the Bright Sword Lion family to join me and work for me. As for the second, I guess you don't have to. If I say more, you should know it. After all, you did me a lot of harm and even got on the Haotian Sect's kill list."
"To be honest, when the Pope of Wuhun Palace married my third sister, my eldest brother had already led his family to secretly surrender to Wuhun Palace." Huang Yueyao smiled bitterly.
Lin Hanye naturally knew about this matter, and he even knew that Qian Xunji was not planning to marry Huang Yuee at the beginning, but Huang Yueyao.
But she refused.
Lin Hanye was not interested in knowing why the other party refused and did something that was not in line with her character. He said calmly: "Then you can submit yourself."
Speaking of this, he looked at Huang Yueyao casually and said, "Your soul power should have stayed at level 88 for several years. And your bone age is over sixty years old. If you don't have any great opportunities in the future, you will basically It's only at level 89. There's not much hope for breaking through to the Title Douluo level."
"Yes, President." With these words, Huang Yueyao agreed to join the Soul Master Guild in disguise.
And she has no right to refuse.
At the same time, just don't dislike this choice.
There are many reasons for this.
First, she knew that Lin Hanye would not treat those around him harshly.
This can be seen from Dugu Bo.
Presumably, after the Soul Master Guild officially opens its sect, many people will be willing to join.
As for other reasons, it's okay not to mention them.
Lin Hanye nodded, "The Soul Masters Guild is about to be established. I think you should also know that there is no shortage of powerful and talented soul masters around me, but in terms of management, there are really not many talents. My wives and I You all need to practice, and you don't have much time to devote to managing miscellaneous things. I need you to be my president's secretary and take care of the Soul Master Guild for me, and complete the goals I set and the tasks I assigned."
Speaking of this, Lin Hanye did not forget the principle of giving a sweet date a stick, "If I find out that you are doing it for personal gain, I don't mind ending this friendship. Of course, if you do your best, I can still Give you a chance to break through the Title Douluo."
"Thank you, President. Yueyao will do her best in the future."
Hearing this, Huang Yueyao stood up without any hesitation and knelt down on one knee, revealing a touch of white on her chest to show her loyalty.
Lin Hanye did not go to see her, "I will give you seven days to deliver everything behind you. At the same time, I hope you can let the Bright Sword Lion Family publicize Gu Rong's murder of Xue Ye in the Star Luo Empire. "
After saying this, Lin Hanye disappeared into the courtyard. The battle between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu was not over yet. Next, he would go there to observe the battle and use the Heaven-Bearing Demonic Eye to see how Tang Chen used it. He can also be used as a reference for those who explode.
While Lin Hanye was heading to Haotian Peak, the news that Emperor Xueye had been stabbed to death in the back quickly spread throughout Tiandou City under the arrangements of the officials and nobles attending the banquet and Xue Xing.
I believe it will spread throughout the continent in a few days.
There are many specific versions.
But no matter how it is spread, the one with the greatest suspicion will always be the Qibao Glazed Sect.
As for the person involved, Ning Fengzhi, after leaving the Tiandou Palace with Sword Douluo, returned to the Qibao Glazed Sect without stopping and found his father Ning Daorong.
Tell what happened.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Ning Daorong, who was already very old, felt helpless after hearing this.
"Father, what should we do?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was completely panicked. With Lin Hanye, the god of killing, he couldn't beat him again and again.
He could not escape, but if he could escape, perhaps the Xingluo Empire would be very welcoming. After all, as long as the Xingluo royal family was not stupid, they should be able to tell that it was not his Seven Treasures Glazed Sect that killed Xue Ye.
But in this way, the fact that his Qibao Glazed Sect killed Xue Ye will be completely confirmed.
I'm afraid that before leaving the Tiandou Empire, Lin Hanye would catch up and kill him in the name of clearing out the rebellion.
Ning Daorong lit up his pipe, took a deep puff, and sighed, "After all, we still underestimated that young man. He doesn't just know how to use brute force. If that's the case, it would be better." After all, no matter how strong he is, he is still not invincible."
"You mean to say that Lin Hanye killed Xue Ye?"
Ning Fengzhi seemed to have thought of something.
"We are inseparable. Maybe he already knows that Xue Ye and I are conspiring together. Now it is certain that Xue Xing will ascend to the throne. Whether it is us or not, for the sake of the stability of the throne, he will identify us."
Ning Daorong said.
"Is there really no room for recovery?"
Ning Fengzhi was very unwilling.
"It's not impossible, but at this point, we have only one way to go." At this point, Ning Daorong's eyes suddenly became fierce.
"Did you really want to?" Ning Fengzhi heard what Ning Daorong meant and felt that he couldn't accept it because he truly treated Gu Rong as a relative.
Ning Daorong didn't say anything more, just said: "You should stop caring about this matter, let alone think about revenge. With a dusty heart, run the Qibao Glazed Sect well. Don't let the sect be left alone in your hands."
After saying that, he walked out and left the Qibao Glazed Sect under the protection of several sect disciples.
Got on the carriage heading to Tiandou City.
Two days passed in a flash, and during these two days, everyone in Haotian Peak also understood what happened.
It turns out that Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire was assassinated.
The suspect Gu Rong was subdued by Lin Hanye himself and imprisoned.
For a while.
Most of the people present had no interest in watching the battle.
Everyone left this place, especially those in the Tiandou Empire.
They don't care whether Xue Ye dies, what they really care about is their own interests, because once Xue Ye dies, the Tiandou Empire will definitely be reshuffled.
This new division of interests is the key.
No one wanted to fall behind, so they rushed back one after another to buy heavy gifts and rush to Tiandou City to visit Xuexing.
And during these two days, Xuexing was not idle either.
With Dugu Bo by his side, he felt much more confident than before.
It's just a matter of saying, "I want to be the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. After I finish speaking, whoever is for it and who is against it".
There is no majority opposition to this either.
After all, there is indeed no one in the Tiandou royal family.
It is impossible to let those demoted princes or Xue Ye's unborn posthumous son ascend the throne.
In the end, after some negotiation, Xuexing's ascension to the throne became a foregone conclusion.
At the same time, how to deal with Gu Rong, the 'real culprit' who assassinated Xue Ye, has become a problem again.
After all, the Qibao Glazed Sect is huge in power and controls many industries in the empire. A single move can affect the whole world. If one move fails, the Tiandou Empire's economy will be in turmoil.
It's really not easy to move.
In the end, Xue Xing decided to wait until Lin Hanye came back to discuss everything.
At the same time, Xuexing's time to ascend the throne was also set for three days. Now it has been two days. Tomorrow, he will ascend the throne.
Lin Hanye did nothing else in the past two days, just sitting on the Frozen Throne condensed by the ultimate ice. Practice with your eyes closed.
Until Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu decided the winner.
At this moment, the two have been fighting for nearly three days and three nights, and it is almost noon on the fourth day.
The only ones left to watch the battle were Qian Xunji, Jin Zhong, and members of the Haotian Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect.
"It finally begins."
Lin Hanye seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes.
Tang Chen on the ground and Qian Daoliu in the sky stopped their attacks at the same time.
"Big Sumeru Hammer·Nine Rings Explode!"
On the ground, Tang Chen revealed his soul ring for the first time, two yellow, two purple, four black and one red. Then the nine rings exploded at the same time and shattered. All the soul power in his body and the energy from the broken soul ring were condensed into the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, turning the Clear Sky Hammer into a huge, blood-red hammer head.
"I see."
Lin Hanye saw the route of soul power in Tang Chen's body when he exploded the ring, and combined with the half-true and half-false secrets he had given him before, he quickly made a calculation in his mind.
At the same time, he secretly said: This move has obviously reached the level of a god. If I were Qiandaoliu, I would definitely choose to use the air advantage to escape, and then wait for Tang Chen's Sumeru Hammer to run out of energy before coming back to defeat him.
But with Sendaoliu's nature, even if he knew he could win this way, he would still feel disgraceful.
