Chapter 1153: The Whirlpool of Conspiracy (Part 2)
Lin Haoming sneered in his heart when facing the words of Zishi Dutong, but said respectfully on the surface: "Of course, what should Dutong Qu have to say? Please say it directly."
"Nie Fengyun, the chief commander of the Chou Nie Guard, was originally a very powerful figure. He was originally an official in the Ministry of Justice. His Majesty admired him, so he specially transferred him to the Heavenly Demon Guard. The reason why His Majesty did this was that he hoped that Nie Fengyun could help him investigate some things that His Majesty was not very willing to others to know." said the Chief Majesty.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he felt a little chilled. The more he didn't want others to know, the more he knew, the better he would definitely not be a good thing.
But the Rat Metro seemed to realize the changes in Lin Haoming's heart and continued: "Lin Metro, if someone else investigates this matter, there may be problems, but your identity is different after all, you should relax. As long as you are dedicated to your work for Your Majesty, there will be no surprises. In fact, Your Majesty is still very generous to those who are loyal to him, otherwise it would not be my turn to say this to Your Majesty."
"President Nie, please tell me!" Lin Haoming said as if relaxed.
"I'd better talk about Nie Fengyun directly. More than a hundred years ago, Your Majesty discovered that a group of dead soldiers appeared in the holy realm. These dead soldiers had not had a high cultivation level, and were all in the Nascent Soul to the God Transformation Stage. However, this group of dead soldiers was very special. The dead soldiers seemed to have taken some kind of poison very early. This poison lurked in the dead soldiers for a long time, constantly using the dead soldiers' own body as supplies. Once these dead soldiers needed to take action, these dead soldiers would treat themselves as deadly weapons and kill the targets to be assassinated without mercy, and they would die together. Before Nie Fengyun investigated this matter, several cultivators in the Void Refining Stage had already died, which made Your Majesty feel a headache, because many of these fallen people were key officials of the Eight Divisions."
"Is it a method set by other domains?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Your Majesty doesn't know this, so Your Majesty asked Nie Fengyun to investigate the matter. As a clue to this matter, the only thing you know is that several of the dead soldiers had appeared in Anfeng City and Biwei Island. This was what Nie Fengyun presented to You Majesty after halfway through the investigation. You can take a look at what Your Majesty means. I hope that Tong Lin can investigate the matter clearly." Tong Zishi put a jade slip in Lin Haoming's hands, and then said goodbye directly.
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Lin Haoming himself never expected that the Demon Emperor would be so anxious and so direct. You must know that no matter how you look at him, he is an outsider and trusting him so much, it seems something is wrong. However, Lin Haoming still has no solution to what the Demon Emperor should do, especially in Lin Haoming's opinion, it is too easy to deal with his cultivator in the Void Refining Stage with the cultivation level of the Demon Emperor Mahayana stage, and there is no need to use conspiracies and tricks at all, but now he feels in a vortex.
No matter what, Lin Haoming pressed the jade slip left by the Rat on his forehead and read it carefully.
The content inside is as the Rat said. Nie Fengyun investigated the dead soldiers when he received the decree emperor's order, so he went to and from Anfeng City and Biwei Island many times. During the investigation, Nie Fengyun discovered that Prince Jing had appeared in these two places several times, and then he placed the investigation target on Prince Jing.
According to Nie Fengyun's description in the jade slip, he found a manor owned by Prince Jing on Biwei Island, which was likely to hide the dead soldiers, so he submitted this secret report, begging His Majesty to give him the right to catch the other party when Prince Jing entered the manor. Of course, the result was that Nie Fengyun, including his adopted daughter Nie Wanying, and two other deputy commanders of the Lienxu period and eight lieutenants all fell on Biwei Island."
Seeing this, Lin Haoming felt a little chill on his back.
King Jing is no other person, but his half-brother of His Majesty the Demon Emperor. It seemed that the two of them had also fought for the throne of the Demon Emperor back then, but the Demon Emperor now ascended the throne. Although King Jing was defeated, after the failure of the struggle, there was no sound at all, as if he had placed all hope on cultivation. In this way, it would take more than 10,000 yuan in a day. If Lin Haoming and Xuanyuan Wenyu were not together, occasionally hearing her mention her father's struggle for the throne of the Demon Emperor back then, Lin Haoming would not have known that the capital of the emperor still lived.
Lin Haoming didn't know whether the Demon Emperor really wanted to attack his younger brother or that King Jing felt unwilling to accept it, so he came here a few ten thousand years ago and was still attached to the throne, but no matter what, he seemed to be swept into this vortex all at once, which was definitely not a good thing for him.
Lin Haoming asked himself that after embarking on the path of immortal cultivation, he has always been low-key and has never actively touched the vortex, but it seems unlikely to be unknown now.
"What? Are you in trouble?"
Seeing Xie Ruolan appear in front of him and ask directly, Lin Haoming felt helpless.
Fortunately, the person in front of me was finally someone who could tell the truth. Lin Haoming didn't hide anything and simply changed the matter.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Demon Emperor seems to intend to ask you to reveal King Jing's affairs. It's best to have an excuse to kill King Jing." Xie Ruolan said lukewarmly after hearing this.
"After King Jing failed to fight for the throne, An An lived steadily for more than 10,000 years. The Demon King could have eliminated him long ago if he wanted to take action. Why did he wait until now? It was because he really discovered that King Jing had made a bad move?" Lin Haoming still couldn't think of it.
"No matter what, it is obvious that the Demon Emperor hopes that you can help him with his affairs, and I think this matter is just a confession?" Xie Ruolan said.
"Why do you think so?" Lin Haoming asked back.
"Just as you said, King Jing has been living under the eyes of the Demon Emperor today. The Demon Emperor could defeat him back then. Could it be that after becoming the Demon Emperor, he would give the other party a chance? And think about how many coincidences there are in your position, just to deal with a King Jing who is under control. I don't think it is necessary to spend so much effort on you." Xie Ruolan said in a slight manner.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming felt that what Xie Ruolan said was indeed reasonable, but before revealing the truth, he might have to be a puppet for a while and obediently listen to the arrangements of the Demon Emperor.
In the next month, Lin Haoming did not leave the house, but only asked Fang Suniang and others to take over the direct lieutenant as soon as possible. He himself was in the archives room and browsed some information about Chou Niuwei.
A month later, Lin Haoming completely disappeared into the garrison, and he only brought Xie Ruolan and Mirong away by his side. (To be continued.)
