Chapter 851 A Sudden Change
Chu Li left, taking the two geniuses with him. The atmosphere was disturbed and the hall fell into a dull mood.
At this moment, Bone Shadow suddenly stood up and shouted to the old king in a deep voice: "Senior, the Ancient Bone Clan has some matters to attend to, so I have to take my leave."
Saying that, the bone shadow also left the Qiankun Palace as quickly as possible and disappeared.
Lin Feng looked at Bone Shadow's back and wanted to laugh in his heart. The Ancient Bone Clan and the Lunbi Empire had already secretly formed an alliance. I am afraid that today's matter is just a double act between the two of them.
Bone Shadow quickly prompted the three princes to find suitable geniuses, and then ignored the other geniuses. Then Chu Li took action to win over the neglected geniuses, and finally he also left the Falan Empire.
That's the trick.
When the old king saw the bone shadow leaving the Qiankun Hall, he immediately figured it out, but it was already too late.
The atmosphere became increasingly dull, but the five heroes of the Ancient Soul Clan sat calmly on their chairs. Since they had identified the Falan Empire, they would naturally not change their minds.
Garuda didn't care. He didn't get any position from the Ancient Orcs this time, which meant that he could choose the Lunbi Empire or the Falan Empire.
"Little friend Mu Feng, from today on, you are a distinguished guest of the empire. You can come and go in the palace at will without anyone's consent."
The old king spoke, and at the same time he glared at the three princes fiercely. These three people all gave their most precious treasures to Mu Feng, but no one invited Mu Feng, and Chu Li almost let Chu Li pull him away. The old man was very angry about this, so he immediately decided to pay a big price to keep Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at the old man in surprise, but couldn't help laughing in his heart. Unknowingly, he had obtained the old king's permission and could enter and leave the palace at will. If this was the case, the possibility of seeing Yan Ranxue He is much older, and he is confident that he can rescue Yan Ranxue without disturbing anyone.
"Thank you, senior. Mu Feng is very happy." Lin Feng looked at the old man and said a very hypocritical word of thanks.
The old king nodded with satisfaction and laughed out loud, very happy.
Elder Faduo also had a smile on his face. Being able to retain a genius like Mu Feng would only bring benefits to the development of the Falan Empire. He could be sure that Mu Feng would break through to the legendary realm and become the God Emperor. There would be no problem, as long as Falan Empire has a powerful God Emperor, which can change everything.
Although the banquet ended unhappy, Falan Empire actually did not lose much. It was able to retain the five heroes of the Ancient Soul Clan and Garuda, and more importantly, retain Lin Feng. This is the most critical thing. .
The banquet ended quickly, and Lin Feng was left in the palace. Elder Faduo personally came forward to arrange a luxurious palace for Lin Feng. This palace, including the other courtyard and the lotus pond, was half the size of the palace. The prince's palace is so big.
This shows the importance of Falan Empire to Lin Feng.
Except for the eldest prince Fachun, the second prince Fah and the fourth prince Fayin all left the palace, and they were scolded by the old king and left the palace.
Of course, Garuda and the five heroes of the Ancient Soul Clan were left in the palace temporarily, but they were not like Lin Feng, who could walk around the palace casually without telling anyone.
That night, Lin Feng stayed honestly in the hall prepared for him and did not go out. He was not in a hurry to save Yan Ranxue. Since he had come to the Falan Empire, it would not be too late for a few days. More importantly, Lin Feng could not let Falan The empire had doubts about itself and believed that its purpose in coming here was impure.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng opened the door and took a breath of fresh air. The pale yellow sunlight in the sky slowly rose, and the earth was covered with a golden glow.
However, a piece of news that alarmed the royal family also reached the palace as the sun rose. It was still noon when Lin Feng got the news. Of course, it was all under his control.
Fa Xuan was indeed dissatisfied with his actions. He actually united all the children in the border area overnight to start a rebellion. Fa Xuan was seriously injured and appeared in the palace with extremely weak breath.
At the beginning, the old king was extremely angry that Fa Xuan came back without permission. However, when he knew everything, his anger turned into a little bit of heartache.
Faxuan actually persisted until the last moment, but the children on the border still rebelled. The Sunlight Empire took the opportunity to seize eight hundred miles of land. Faxuan led a group of people to fight to the death and defended one thousand miles of land.
The trigger of all this turned out to be that the border area had not paid military pay for more than half a year, which made the old king's anger reach the point where nothing could be attached.
When Lin Feng came to the Hidden Dragon Palace, the old king had already lost his temper several times and investigated at all levels. Finally, he found a person who he could not believe the most. When the eldest prince Fachun was in power, the military salary was provided by Fachun. He has always been in charge, but within half a year, Fachun did not allocate a piece of the military pay issued by the royal family to the border area.
Faxuan's injury has been cured by the old king himself, and Faxuan has been arranged to go to a certain courtyard to recuperate. Let's not mention this matter for the time being. These were the exact words of the old king.
Lin Feng came to the Hidden Dragon Palace and met the old king. He did not ask anything about Fa Xuan. After all, Lin Feng did not want the old king to feel that he was partial to Fa Xuan. Lin Feng did not even mention issues related to Fa Xuan. , I just asked the old king about the palace.
The old king also patiently explained the structure of the palace to Lin Feng. Except for some secret places, the old king didn't have much concern. He also drew a map for Lin Feng, which included the location of Leng Palace.
The Cold Palace, in the Falan Empire, was specially designed to imprison some princesses who were no longer favored, but this was the first time that a princess was imprisoned.
Lin Feng told the old king in advance that he might go shopping and hoped that the royal family wouldn't mind. The old king would naturally pretend to be magnanimous.
Lin Feng remembered all the places in his mind. Except for the Hidden Dragon Palace, Lin Feng walked directly to the east. He probably walked through an imperial garden and passed an artificial lake before arriving at the place where Fa Xuan rested.
There is no one here, and it looks relatively desolate. It seems that although Fa Xuan has gained the attention of the old king, he still does not receive attention. He is still as before, just like sending away the poor, and does not regard Fa Xuan as his prince.
Walking into the courtyard, Fa Xuan's figure fell into Lin Feng's sight. When Fa Xuan saw Lin Feng walk in, he immediately stood up with a surprised look on his face.
"You came". Fa Xuan looked at Lin Feng with a sincere smile on his face. His face was still a little pale, his breathing was unstable, and his arm was injured, and it was not serious.
Lin Feng looked at Fa Xuan, then couldn't help but grinned and said: "It seems that you are risking your life."
"That's not the case. I just did what I had to do. As for your suggestions, I only followed half of them." Fa Xuan listened to Lin Feng's teasing, his face slightly embarrassed and apologetic.
Lin Feng was a little surprised and looked at Fa Xuan waiting for his next words.
"I did discuss it with my men and prepared to fake the disease, but I didn't expect that there would be a traitor among our people, causing the Sunlight Empire to know that our morale was weakening, so they attacked us at night. Fortunately, we were prepared in advance and fought bloody battles all night , hundreds of his men died, and less than 500 escaped, but in the end they defended a thousand miles of land."
When Fa Xuan said this, there was a look of heartache on his face. These subordinates were all old friends who had been with him since childhood, and they were killed like this. He felt heartbroken and even more angry. The eldest prince Fa Chun's tricks caused So many people died.
However, now that the eldest prince Fachun is obviously favored by the old king, could this matter end like this? The old king is not prepared to pursue the case. If so, these hundreds of people may have died in vain.
Fa Xuan shook his head, unwilling to let the matter end like this.
"I want to make it clear to my father, and I must seek justice for them." Fa Xuan thought about it for a long time and finally decided that the eldest prince must pay for his debt with blood.
Lin Feng listened to Fa Xuan's words, but shook his head, making Fa Xuan a little surprised and confused.
"You don't agree?" Fa Xuan looked at Lin Feng and asked.
"Of course, you have already succeeded half way, why do you want to destroy your future? It can be said that your father has noticed you and has some good feelings for you. If you rush out at this time, your father will definitely have a trace of your affection for you. The good impression is gone.”
"Haha, to be honest, if that time comes, it may not be the eldest prince who will be punished, but you."
"You clearly know that the old king is partial to the eldest prince, and you still want to actively anger the old king who doesn't want to touch the bottom line. It will only be counterproductive."
Lin Feng analyzed the secrets for Fa Xuan. Fa Xuan did have advantages, but he was impulsive when it came to himself, and his personality was too upright. Such a person was indeed not suitable for the royal family.
Fa Xuan listened carefully to Lin Feng's words, but he was still unwilling to accept it. This matter was just over, and hundreds of disciples died just because they wanted to?
"I understand how you feel, but it's definitely not a showdown now, it's just the beginning."
"You'd better go to your father now and ask him to return to the frontier immediately. Although this approach is a bit risky, you must express that you cannot let the frontier decline like this. You must seize the lost land from the Sunlight Empire. return".
"But you can't mention the secret inside. Only in this way will the old king value you more and more, and he will even be moved and angry for your experience. As long as he becomes more and more angry with the eldest prince, there will always be a chance. One day the eldest prince will collapse, and you can rebuild the light, and your men can rest in peace."
Lin Feng continued to make suggestions. In fact, these were not difficult strategies, but Fa Xuan was too stubborn to think of them.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Fa Xuan suddenly felt that his eyes became bright again.
"Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow." With that said, Fa Xuan ran out of the courtyard with excitement on his face and quickly disappeared from Lin Feng's sight.
"You haven't invited me to drink this meal yet." Lin Feng smiled bitterly. He could only express his helplessness towards a prince like Fa Xuan.
"It seems that our little friend Mu Feng has found a suitable prince."
Suddenly, a playful voice came from behind Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng's expression to change immediately.
Turning around, Lin Feng saw an old man standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
