Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 058

The accompanying personnel, apart from a few civil servants sent to investigate, naturally also had guards escorting them all the way.

Xiao Luo sat calmly by the bonfire, he had already sensed someone approaching, those civil servants didn't notice it, but those guards were specially selected for this trip, so there was still a bit of vigilance .

At this moment, those civil servants sitting next to Xiao Luo couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw the guards? , Along the way, don’t they all take turns to watch the night, there has never been a time like this.”

The other civil servant realized something, frowned, and said, "No, it's dangerous."

As soon as these words came out, these civil servants naturally became vigilant. Although they were all people who had met in the court, but facing such a juncture, especially those guards who were all so vigilant, it was obvious that the danger was not only A little bit, how could they not be nervous.

It's just that those civil servants all focused their attention on Xiao Luo. They looked at His Highness Ninth without the slightest expression of panic on their faces, as if they had expected such a thing long ago.

"His Royal Highness, tonight's matter..."

Xiao Luo said calmly: "They are all coming for me, and have nothing to do with you. The matter concerning the Ministry of Officials and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is a foregone conclusion. As for the Ministry of Households that will be involved later, it is only in this round. I just want to add one more thing. When you go to Jiangzhou City, you just have a final confirmation of these, and an investigation of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce’s self-report. As for me, you are also people who have been immersed in the court for many years. Say more, think about it, you should know it well."

These civil servants are naturally clear, they look at each other in blank dismay, each has their own speculations in their hearts, regarding the matter inside, then, who is the person who is going to deal with His Highness Ninth Prince at this moment?His Royal Highness?Or His Royal Highness the Second Prince?

Among them, the chief civil servant asked directly: "His Royal Highness is not worried at all, is it because King Ding has made arrangements?"

Xiao Luo replied directly: "My lord, do you think that when we left the imperial capital, the news about the imperial capital was false?"

"Ah?" The man was startled, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, could it be that King Ding really didn't interfere, then you..."

"It's not that there are still these guards. They are all selected from the forbidden army under my father. They should be more than enough to deal with a group of killers."

When the guards heard this, they felt a little horrified. They are the forbidden army. Moreover, if you want to become a member of the forbidden army, the skills and abilities are beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, this is about to face Those people are well-cultivated deadly killers, and judging from the current movement, there are quite a few people here. These killers want to target His Highness Ninth Prince, and that is to ensure nothing goes wrong. How could they send a few insignificant people? killer.

Those civil servants were very good at observing words and expressions, and naturally noticed the changes in the faces of those guards, "Your Highness, what you said seems to be incomplete, and they may not be able to do it."

Xiao Luo is still calm and composed. From his practice of swordsmanship, control of the Star Sword, learning of the Star Sword Jue, and the previous trial in the nine-story trial tower, although his current state of swordsmanship has not yet reached the 'unity of human and sword' However, he has also reached the state of 'reaching the pinnacle'. With his perception of sword intent, he has long been aware of the situation of those hidden killers.

"My lords, what do you think is my chance of winning this time? I can do well? Then I will arrive at Jiangzhou City smoothly, complete the business of this trip, and then return to the imperial capital smoothly. Stand firm and participate in the subsequent battle for succession?"

As soon as these words came out, these people were a little astonished. They just looked at me and I looked at you. Although they are all the emperor's cronies, they are very clear about His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince. His Highness stood up, and they also knew what the purpose was, but isn't it too early to talk about it now?

Of course, if King Ding wanted to break the agreement with the emperor and announce in front of everyone in the world that he would support His Highness the Ninth Prince, that would be a different matter, but the agreement between King Ding and the emperor had been confirmed since that year, and It has been maintained for nearly 20 years, how can it be broken? Moreover, the person chosen by the emperor to succeed must be excellent in all aspects. There are people who can control the overall situation of the world, rather than simply relying on someone else's successor. person.

Xiao Luo saw the hesitation of these people, "I just asked casually, the adults don't need to be entangled, you might as well change the question, the adults think, Xiao Luan or Xiao Cheng, which one of them is more likely to be the last successor?" By?"

The leading civil servant coughed, "Your Highness, we are all the emperor's people. The emperor's choice is the most important thing. Only with the emperor's approval can we go to the end. As far as we are concerned, as long as If the emperor approves, then we will naturally be loyal."

"Yes." Those people agreed in unison.

Up to this point, Xiao Luo didn't say any more, he looked at the guards, at the killer killers who were still hiding in the dark, sneered, and said: "These guys have followed all the way, and they didn't show any movement until tonight. At such a time, I still dare not show my face.”

One of the head of the guards said: "His Royal Highness is behind Ding Wangfu, who in the world does not know the name of Ding Wangfu, even if Ding Wang really announced it, he will never interfere with these matters, but no one dares to take it lightly. Take a risk, I guess, they are still confirming."

"It seems that their brains are not very bright. If Prince Ding's Mansion really intervenes, they can still follow all the way here. I'm afraid that if they don't know where they are, they will all become corpses."

When these guards heard Xiao Luo's words, they always felt that His Highness Ninth Prince scolded them as well.

Suddenly, under the dark night, several black shadows fell together, illuminated by the light of the bonfire, at a glance, there were estimated to be a hundred of these black-clothed dead soldiers. High-powered generation.

Xiao Luo still sat on the rock by the bonfire, and said with a smile: "It seems that it took some effort."

At this time, among the men in black, the one who stood at the front gave an order, "Do it, clean it up."

Those men in black were about to rush forward, but Xiao Luo got up first, and quickly passed the guards who were around them, "You don't really want my life, my husband has already said that he won't meddle in government affairs, yours Master is so afraid of me intervening in this succession struggle?"

Xiao Luo stood up suddenly, not only those men in black were stunned, but even the guards who were sent to protect the safety of His Highness the Ninth Prince were all shocked. Just now... His Highness Ninth Prince was still sitting by the bonfire, What happened, how did they arrive in front of them in the blink of an eye?

And those accompanying civil servants also looked at Xiao Luo in disbelief, is this person the Xiao Luo they know?But in fact, the person in front of him is indeed.

The leader of the killer in black frowned, "You are not Xiao Luo."

Xiao Luo sneered, "I'm not Xiao Luo, who is Xiao Luo, if you want to kill me, you won't even know what I look like, but what you said is true, in the back alleys of the palace , Xiao Luo, who can only be bullied by others, is already late."

"Let's do it together."

All of a sudden, those killers in black came out with their swords and swords. Under the night, the bonfire flickered, and the swords and swords intertwined. However, there was only one difference, the sword light was bright, like the shining stars, the light and shadow passed by, and the sword intent was fierce. This moment.

There were hundreds of killers, corpses scattered all over the place, and in the end only one person was left standing there.

The black-clothed dead man who was still alive at the end, his eyes fell on Xiao Luo, his eyes were full of fear, "You are not Xiao Luo, this...you are not human, even the strongest in the world, it is impossible to be so easily Hundreds of enemies, even killed..."

Xiao Luo smiled sarcastically, maybe the former him would have recognized such words, but since Ming Che taught him, he has a new understanding of everything, the strong, the world's understanding of the strong is too limited.

"Don't worry, I will spare your life, go back and tell your master that I am in the game of this battle for the throne."

After the man in black fled in a hurry, the accompanying guards and civil servants hadn't recovered from the shock they saw just now. After some time, someone recovered first, and these people turned back one after another. come over.

"Your Highness Ninth...you...are you really His Highness Ninth?"

Xiao Luo didn't take it seriously, but said: "Do you think it's fake?"

One of the guards asked: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's skill is so strong, he is an expert in the world, if he sees His Royal Highness Jiu make a move, I'm afraid he will bow down."

"How strong? The strength you have seen may be just a drop in the bucket. The real strength can kill those hundred people just now with a flick of a finger."

"His Highness the Ninth Prince is appointed..."

Before the guard finished speaking, he was interrupted by a person, "What His Royal Highness said is very true."

At this time, a civil servant stood up and asked, "Why did His Highness the Ninth Prince let that person go back? Just to send a message? His Highness the Ninth Highness doesn't want to know who ordered them?"

"Whether it's Xiao Luan or Xiao Cheng, is there any difference? As for asking him to go back to pass the letter, it's the same thing. Since I want to enter the game, I naturally want to enter the game in a legitimate way. Anyway, that person will die if he goes back. One of them didn't complete the task. The dead who go back alone have no way out except death." Xiao Luo said calmly, "What you saw tonight, after we have checked everything from Jiangzhou and returned to the imperial capital, you can tell my father the truth. .”

None of these people said much, for a while, the surroundings became quiet, only the sound of the dry wood burning in the bonfire...
