"Simple, casual, nothing too fancy."
Zhao Fan looked at Zhirou.
This steward will accompany him through his tenure of hundreds of billions of years.
Although there is a master-servant relationship, Zhao Fan doesn't pay attention to any dignity, otherwise it would be too boring for such a long time.
"Okay, my lord."
Zhirou thought for a while and then tried to decorate a building in the mansion, inside and out.
Then he called Zhao Fan and asked him if it was okay to dress like this.
"That's right, let's do it."
Zhao Fan nodded, "I'm going to retreat. If anyone sees me, touch this mark and report it."
He condensed a communication mark and handed it to the other party.
As soon as he finished speaking, he escaped into the retreat room.
Zhirou looked at the closed door over there and felt relieved, "The Lord of Shangxu Palace really doesn't ask for much."
…
Quiet room.
Zhao Fan took out the classic book "Spider Jue".
He took what he had touched and waved to ask the snow and practiced it from beginning to end.
After a while, the knife in his hand switched to the emperor's name again.
but.
There is a huge difference in power.
Using the Emperor's name, the power of the linear sword is only equivalent to the eternal peak of the strongest.
If you ask Xue, then it has broken through the restrictions of the rank and is comparable to the eternal strike that breaks the path!
"Brothers."
Di Ming said with some disappointment: "It seems that I can't be with you all the time."
"Calm down."
Zhao Fan said with a smile: "The number of times I will fight against Eternal Po Dao in the future is very few. I estimate that most of the battles will be with Eternal Xianqiang. I will definitely use you."
"Uh-huh!"
Di Ming's tone was a little cute.
Zhao Fan felt quite helpless. When Ju Zu wanted to refine offensive and defensive treasures for himself, he once offered the offensive treasures in exchange for the other party to change the emperor's name. However, when he thought of his first entry into Shangxu Palace, he couldn't help but mention this and that. It was great, so I didn’t speak.
What's more, transforming and sublimating the quality on the original basis is much more difficult than creating a new treasure.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will improve your quality."
After Zhao Fan comforted Emperor Ming, he continued to study "Spider Jue".
During this period, he was immersed in it and could not feel the passage of time.
this day.
The exclusive communication mark vibrated.
It's Zhirou's notice.
"Um?"
When Zhao Fan came back to his senses, he realized that thirteen years had passed since he entered the mansion.
He touched the communication mark and responded: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty."
Zhirou said cautiously: "Prime Minister Wu wants to see you."
"Military Prime Minister?"
Zhao Fan recalled for a moment, "Remember his title is Chengfeng, right?"
At that reception banquet in the imperial palace, one of the five ministers held the position of Prime Minister.
And this position was in charge of the military power of the entire Shui Mie Dynasty.
Together with Wen Xiang, who is in charge of resources and officials, it ranks first among ministers.
"right."
Zhirou introduced: "Chengfeng Wuxiang, his strength is eternal."
"Well, take it to the living room. I'll be there later."
After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he simply sorted out his image in the retreat room and came to the living room.
Zhi Rou, who was serving tea and pouring water, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty."
Wu Xiang Chengfeng also stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty Creation."
Zhao Fan nodded and asked casually after sitting down: "Brother Chengfeng came here suddenly. Is there something wrong?"
"well."
Wu Xiang Chengfeng sighed and said with emotion: "I'm here to report to you. This matter involves a lot. If I directly block it, not only will the impact be bad, but I will also be severely hindered because I have crossed the line."
"oh?"
Zhao Fan asked thoughtfully: "Who to report?"
"Wen Xiang."
Wu Xiang Chengfeng said in a solemn voice: "A few days ago, I received a report from my subordinates that an elite team of a hundred people in the army had disappeared. Each of them was the strongest eternal, so I personally investigated After checking, I found that they died mysteriously in a wilderness, and there was only an ordinary town nearby. Judging from the way they died, they were killed by monsters."
"Monster..."
Zhao Fan asked doubtfully: "Does this have anything to do with Wen Xiang?"
"A year ago, Prime Minister Wen went there quietly with only one entourage."
Wu Xiang Chengfeng said: "Three years ago, he also went there like this. It was just an ordinary town. The other party went there twice in a short period of time, and something like that happened again. It is difficult to let go of the relationship!"
"Which town?"
Zhao Fan flipped his hands, and the large map of the dynasty given by Lord Shui Mie appeared on the table.
The records are detailed, even small villages are not omitted.
Wu Xiang Chengfeng stretched out his finger and pointed at a town-level unit three capitals away from the imperial city, "Lingluo Town."
"How far is the location where the elite team was destroyed from Lingluo Town?" Zhao Fan asked.
"it's here."
Wu Xiang Chengfeng pointed to the side again, "It's considered a suburb."
"good."
Zhao Fan nodded slightly and said: "I will investigate this matter as soon as possible. You can go back first."
"Um."
Wu Xiang Chengfeng turned and left.
After Zhirou sent him out of the gate, he returned to Zhao Fan.
"Zhirou." Zhao Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any precedent for ministers colluding with monsters in the past?"
"this……"
Zhirou wanted to speak but stopped.
"It's okay, just talk about whatever you want while the two of us are here." Zhao Fan waved his hand.
Zhirou whispered: "There have been, but there has never been a minister with such a high status."
Monster, very evil.
Also good at hiding.
In addition to swallowing eternal creatures, it can also enter the target's body, control its consciousness and actions, and disguise itself as watertight.
"What did you do before?" Zhao Fan suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty," Zhirou said truthfully, "I serve in the dance troupe of the Imperial Palace. Before you came, the monarch arranged for me and the nine sisters to wait here."
Yawenba
"How much do you know about the partisan struggles between ministers and ministers in the DPRK?"
Zhao Fan asked again.
"Prime Minister Wen and Prime Minister Wu were at odds a long time ago." Zhirou introduced: "Originally, they had a good relationship, but Prime Minister Wu's son failed to pursue Prime Minister Wen's daughter and was rejected in public during an overture. , became angry and killed the other party. Although the son of Prime Minister Wu was imprisoned for an indefinite period and will never be released, Prime Minister Wen did not give up. He began to target Prime Minister Wu and related people everywhere, and the fight became more and more ruthless. "
"The monarch doesn't care?" Zhao Fan was greatly surprised. At the banquet, the Minister of Wen and the Minister of Military Affairs did not have any interaction.
"When the fight gets serious, the monarch will beat them all, and they will restrain themselves."
Zhirou spread her hands, "But there is no way to reconcile."
"Um."
Zhao Fan understood clearly and said one after another: "Get ready, we will go to Lingluo Town to have a look tomorrow."
He has no plans to mobilize troops yet.
Let’s go check out the situation first.
"good."
Zhi Rou retreats.
The next day.
Zhao Fan took Zhirou and set off.
Follow the directions on the map.
With Ye Zhou's non-stop shuttle, it took nearly five days to cross the three capitals and reach Lingluo Town.
