"If I say I don't know." Xingze showed a strange expression and sighed faintly: "Your Highness, do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it." Ao Xuehua shook his head.
"Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess is in the center of this city, but knowing that does not mean that she can be rescued." Xingze walked leisurely on the snowy streets and turned around: "Today's situation, Princess Dieying How much do you really know?"
He looks like a boy of thirteen or fourteen, but his words are incredibly calm and wise.
It's not like he's pretending to be mature, but that's just his character.
Ao Xuehua shook his head: "The Xingche clan launched the Eternal Night City and kidnapped the princess as their trump card. This is the only thing I know."
Xingze smiled bitterly: "Her Royal Highness does not seem to be a liar, so it seems that Brother Xiche has not told you all the information he has."
Ao Xuehua suddenly became alert. She originally lacked enough trust in the prince, but she saw the silver-haired boy in front of her shaking his head at her and rejecting her idea: "Don't think too much, brother Xiche, he just doesn't want to talk about those extraneous matters." irrelevant information, even if it is of great importance to the overall situation."
Saying this, he gently asked a question: "In your opinion, when did this situation start?"
Aoxuehua was silent.
On the surface, it seems that the layout of the Eternal Night City was naturally launched the night before yesterday, and then the whole situation was controlled with the power of thunder.
He even said that he would not leave any force time to react.
But when did this layout begin?
Even the top intelligence network she owned in the Os Empire knew nothing about this layout.
just like.
When this layout started, everything was already arranged logically.
"In the autumn of the third year of Qingli, as the finale of that auction, a piece of mulberry paper was auctioned. The princess must not be unaware of this news." Xingze said softly.
Ao Xuehua nodded. Whether it was the name of the auction house or the shocking degree of the item itself, the news had already spread to the ears of senior officials throughout the continent.
"So." Xingze asked, "The princess will definitely not forget the words written on the mulberry paper."
"The princess is in the lake." Ao Xuehua blurted out. She was the most outstanding girl in the world, and she finally felt faintly uneasy at this moment.
"You noticed it, right, Your Highness Princess." Xingze smiled slightly: "Do you know which force auctioned this precious item, and which force paid for it with ten thousand yi of gold?"
Ao Xuehua was silent again.
"Yes. They are all dark stars." Xingze slowly gave the answer, an answer that seemed both natural and extremely weird. "In that autumn, an organization called Dark Star personally handed this lot to that auction house, and then personally took down its own lot."
Ao Xuehua continued to remain silent.
"The final auction price was 10,000 yi of gold, and the auction took a 5% commission. That is to say, the actual cost was 500 yi of gold." Xingze said: "In return for the investment of 500 yi of gold, All the great forces in this world have obtained the information of these four words, the princess is in the lake."
"The Ninth Princess who lives alone by the lake has become a bargaining chip in the game."
"Why do you do this?" Ao Xuehua could only ask. This had nothing to do with her status and wisdom, but only the attitude and pursuit of those forces, so she would not know.
"For most forces, that princess symbolizes an extremely precious opportunity, an opportunity to contact the Lanye royal family, and an opportunity to gain huge benefits through that princess." Xingze smiled. "But at the beginning, this lot was introduced as a possibility."
"So it's not just that."
"For Qingyi, this princess can stir up disputes between empires and even become the fuse of war. As long as it is used properly, there is a chance to create a big enough war to provide the right conditions for Qingyi's restoration. "The soil." Xingze said softly: "But using this purpose as a cover, they mobilized a force that far exceeded their needs and wanted to kill Her Royal Highness in this country."
"For West City, they tend to maintain the balance of order, so they are doing their best to coordinate and be alert to any abnormal situations that may occur."
"So." Xingze said with a vague smile, "Dark Star, who is the initiator of everything, wants to do something."
How could Ao Xuehua not understand when he heard this? He sighed deeply: "It turns out that the layout of the City of Eternal Night began at that time."
"Yes and no." Xingze said: "In fact, the idea of the City of Eternal Night was proposed as early as fifteen years ago. It just said that the core space-like heaven-level spiritual weapon has never been found, so Said that when the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern in Lanyin City was exposed, all this planning began. If a behemoth like Dark Star mobilizes enough manpower to support the operation of Eternal Night City, it will be intolerable to all forces. unknown threats."
"So we need to stir up the water in this situation. When all the forces start to mobilize their plans, Dark Star hides behind the scenes, as quiet as a sleeping giant snake."
"But you missed Qingyi." Aoxuehua said coldly: "You didn't expect me to come here, so there was a flaw in the plan."
"It's not you." Xingze smiled slightly: "It's Dark Star. Yes, they never expected Qingyi to use such terrifying power. This is an apple on the chessboard that will disturb the balance. So, at this time, Qingyi needs to be completely eliminated.”
Ao Xuehua rubbed her temples. Such a sophisticated plan would make even a princess who has been at the center of power for a long time feel tired: "But you are not qualified to order that saint. No one in this world is qualified."
"It's not you." Xingze stubbornly repeated her idiom: "But the saint didn't want Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess to be the bargaining chip, so she chose to entrust Brother Xiche to be her agent."
"This originally had nothing to do with Dark Star, because brother Xiche's actions have always been outside the Dark Star system, and there is only a loose relationship between employment and employment. However, this does not prevent Dark Star from using this saint to make certain restrictions. internal interference.”
"So in this saint's game, Dark Star chose to become a chessboard, constantly giving Qingyi convenient conditions, stimulating their nerves, and creating conveniences for them to assassinate the princess. One of them was to bribe the princess. An Ning's Fengmian Villa wants to find out the lady's opinion."
"So in the end, Dark Star finally got his wish and pushed Qingyi to carry out the assassination, and lured them to eat Xiche's brother in one fell swoop, allowing the pocket to open in a moderately large way, and selectively eradicated Qingyi's existence." Xingze He said calmly: "Even if the Princess of the Sea sees all this clearly, she still has no ability to interfere, because Dark Star's actions are actually promoting her plan to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess with the help of others."
"Although at the end of the saint's chess game, the saint came forward to save the Ninth Princess, all the forces had to be dispersed. Qingyi was expelled from the Lanye Empire as the leading bird, and the three heavenly realm experts were ordered to live forever. Step on the orchid leaves.”
Xingze slowly gave a summary at this time: "At the same time, Dark Star has completed the transfer and arrangement of personnel, eliminating the possibility of accidents, and is only waiting for the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At this time, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess and The Ninth Princess appeared in Lanyin at the same time, so how could an operation that had been planned for fifteen years and covered up with such a huge chess game be quietly abandoned?"
Ao Xuehua sighed, realizing that she had really underestimated the city of eternal night. She glanced at the stars in the dark sky and said tiredly: "What a bunch of lunatics."
