The early sun was rising, and the small basin, which was originally lush with greenery, collapsed into a deep underground canyon as the ground fissures continued to expand. A giant tree with a strange shape that sprouted from the ground and quickly withered, filled the newly formed canyon, with its blackened branches hanging on the top of the cliff.
On both sides of the underground rift valley, which was more than ten feet wide, groups of government troops were hunting and searching the forest and ground cracks, and they were escaping one after another. They could not help but suddenly raise their heads amidst some kind of noise. I came and saw a small figure emerging from the sun rising from the East China Sea.
Finally, another giant beast from the sea was dragged and hit the top of the mountain like a mountain of meat. Involuntarily, it turned into a sea of shouts from the mountains and the tsunami, and everyone fell to their knees and saluted: "Your Majesty, !" "Your Excellency!" "The office is extremely victorious..."
Jiang Tian, who still held the collar in his hand and only had a small part of the original crown prince, responded to their worship in a familiar manner; at the same time, his mind was slowly recollecting and sorting out the stimulation from the yellow crystals. Obtain large and complex pieces of information.
In fact, when Jiang Tian finally made up his mind to temporarily take over the identity of the "Crown Prince", the fifth stage mission scene in the field of vision panel prompted "Resentment for the Country", which also significantly increased the progress; and when he returned again When I visited Fengsheng Hall at night, the progress of the task was even longer.
But this time, after catching the "culprit" who had been hiding behind the scenes and forcibly exploring Prince Yuan's mind through violent means, the fifth stage mission scene "The Complaints of the Country" in the vision panel also appeared. A lot of progress has been made again, reaching (97%) progress.
Just one last key element is missing to complete the mission and get new module options or upgrades to existing capabilities. Perhaps this progress will also fall into the secret realm "Penglai Ruins" where Prince Yuan obtained the seed of the sacred tree during his first exploration and a series of subsequent changes.
But in the process of searching for thoughts, Jiang Tian also had another question. Because, according to the very few insiders within the palace, the original crown prince was the direct blood child of the deceased palace wife and raised since childhood.
As for Jiang Tian's predecessor, she was just a little better than a housewife. She was born as a bed-servant and concubine in the capital; therefore, her maternal status was quite humble. However, looking back on various clues now, it seems that this is not the case, not to mention that Jiang Tian actually felt a vague resonance of blood in Prince Yuan.
It is precisely because of this resonance of blood that Jiang Tian obtained a vast amount of information in an instant that was more complex and richer than others; it was just because of the other party's near-death state and the stimulation of being forced into a dream; the fragmented memories he obtained. And thinking, it takes time to sort it out slowly.
what does that mean? This means that the similarity between the two is not just a coincidence of some kind of genetic relationship, but a twin relationship with a high probability of sharing the same blood! In this case, the original statement circulated within the office is full of doubts; or, why do you say this?
What is it to cover up and protect? What doubts and inside stories were there about the wife of the official who died young? According to the records in the palace, this lady was just the daughter of an ordinary official. She fell in love at first sight with the princess, who was a descendant of the feudal clan at the time, at a banquet.
Then after several meetings, it was natural for Zhang Nacai to get together. Therefore, when the princess was appointed to inherit the family business, she was already eight months pregnant. As a result, stimulated by the unexpected news, she gave birth to the heir apparent prematurely.
Therefore, both mother and child were inevitably in poor physical condition, and they survived after several rounds of treatment, recuperation, and maintenance. The princess could only leave them to recuperate in Beijing for the time being, and then went to Yizhou Island to take over the family business; more than a year passed when everything was settled and someone was sent to pick them up.
However, he learned that there was another concubine who was also pregnant at the time and gave birth to a very healthy son for him at a similar time to his wife; but he himself died of puerperal fever. So both children were brought back together as some sort of backup.
Since then, the wife of the official, who has been ill because of her damaged vitality, rarely appeared in front of others; she was even less able to manage things for a long time. Therefore, the actual responsibility of taking care of the back house of the office, as well as the responsibility of secretly raising another heir, fell on the assigned female official, Shen.
However, in the remaining memories of Prince Yuan, there are also very few impressions of this mother who lingered on the sickbed; basically they were the haggard voice behind the curtain, the frighteningly pale and blurred face, and the strong smell of medicine in the bedroom; she was always worried or... The maids and slaves who could not hide their sorrow.
Then, the lady's bedroom that I had in mind suddenly became vacant one day; it was quickly sealed up, all the maids and slaves were dismissed, and no one was allowed to enter. Even the prince, who was also physically weak, was not allowed to participate in the funeral procession on the grounds of preventing excessive grief.
But no matter what, as this secret place named "Little Penglai" appeared in broad daylight with the collapsed flesh and blood tree; Yizhou Dadao, Yifu, Qizhou and the official " "Tongning Observation" and "Ryukyu Insights" both published important news at the same time.
However, each of them congratulated and celebrated with unsparing words. In the contemporary period, the imperial guards led by Prince Tonghai pacified and annihilated the vassals, and the "beast disasters" in the Central Mountains and the two prefectures in the west of the island were successfully carried out. Destroy the beast's den/source and return to the court with many captured masters.
There are even rumors that the official intends to reopen the athletic competition to recruit heroes from inside and outside the island; in addition to the three guards and towns and vassals under the official's command, they will train an elite team to deal with changes in various places; therefore, Over time, various states and counties on the island responded strongly and discussed a lot;
In contrast, there are about a dozen feudal families that are too close to the previous prince, or are secretly involved; the head of the family suddenly died of an emergency overnight, or the head of the family was automatically replaced; Of the five family orders issued, one was killed suddenly and the other three retired, which seemed to be calm.
Therefore, a few days later, Jiang Tian was able to stand in the back garden of Futing Palace, a stone ice cellar originally used to temporarily store spirits; and in front of him was a huge glazed jar; it was originally used to store various kinds of ice. Aquarium, many objects that decorated the background scenes have been cleared.
There was only a small half of a light cyan human body left, like a living specimen, soaked in a high-concentration alcohol-mixed embalming fluid. However, this small half of the human body is still tenaciously alive, and occasionally it can turn its eyelids and respond to the sounds and lights outside the outer tank.
Below the ragged shoulders, centered on a whole swaying spine, there was even a little bit of green granulation growing out, which looked as scary as a weird jellyfish. Obviously due to the lack of nutrient supply, it can only maintain its half-dead state.
In fact, no matter who is lucky enough to witness it with his own eyes, the culprit's servants, vassals or generals can no longer be recognized; such a person has a head as long as a twig and only a green and tangled body left, although he is dead, he is still alive. The monster will be the prince they once loyal to and served.
"But I don't know how the prince... plans to punish this traitor?" Then, soft footsteps sounded behind Jiang Tian, and Mrs. Rong Hua's gentle voice came. He couldn't help but turn his head and saw the beautiful woman who had recovered, her hair was swaying high and her gold-woven skirt was graceful.
However, after being glanced at by him, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but take a step back; then she pressed her full chest lightly, instinctively looking around, and then remembered that the attendants and female officers were left outside; and that she had to use On the excuse of being sick, he ended up lying in bed for three full days and nights.
"His crimes are so numerous that they are too numerous to describe..." At this time, Jiang Tian said in an understatement: "It would be too cheap to just lock him up in this dark place, half-dead and unconsciously enduring the severe cold and frost." No more; I can’t even comfort myself in the afterlife.”
"Then... what does the crown prince mean?" Shen, who finally calmed down, asked softly: "But I don't know that this reverse species has become like this. How can he be ranked in other aspects? Is it useful?"
"Of course." Jiang Tian praised her keenness: "For example, as a material for analysis in the office and privately; let this officer experience the pain and torture of those victims for the rest of his life; don't worry, although Only this little bit of damage is left, but it’s not that easy to die.”
"As long as the most basic nutrients are injected regularly, a part of it can be regrown; in this way, it can be recycled and maintained for a long time. Of course, before that, I actually had other plans; I planned to combine it with those alien The remains are on display together.”
"All the exhibitions are free for the first three days, so that the people of Dongning Prefecture can come and watch them, so that they can witness with their own eyes what the monsters and thieves who infringed and disturbed their peaceful years are like; and then Then we will conduct a paid tour and only charge the cheapest ticket price.”
"Of course, it would be even better if there are hidden remnants among them who try to steal or rob..." Jiang Tian softly told his follow-up plan, but Shen's face suddenly changed slightly and he took two steps back before speaking. The voice said: "Everything depends on the prince's instructions, and there is no limit to what I can do."
"By the way, the arrangement for the Donghai Grand Shrine is already on the string, and we are just waiting for the crown prince's order." Then she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at him and said: Jiang Tian turned around again and showed her an order. The man smiled slightly and said, "Don't rush this yet."
"I have a question, and I just want to ask Madam." The next moment, Jiang Tian disappeared in front of her and turned into a deep voice behind her: "Did you hide anything from me about what happened back then? For example, what is the true relationship and origin between me and this reverse species?"
