Chapter 298: The Dowry for Brother Murder
Chapter 298: Killing Brothers · Breeding Gift
"Uh, Master, although I don't know how many princes there are, it will never be one." Ling Feng said. He remembered that there was another third prince who had competed for the elves with him.
If the emperor said the truth, there was only one possibility, that the princes all died during the period when Ling Feng left.
Have you gone to practice xx skills, started to mobilize yourself, and went to see God? Ling Feng thought maliciously in his mind, but he also knew that this was impossible.
"During the time you left, the princes outside had news of their accidental death. Because this happened too suddenly, we didn't even have time to take measures. Later, in order to protect the remaining princes, they were all locked in the palace and knew that we had figured out the matter." The emperor's tone was a little sad. He had tried his best to restrain his feelings, but he still showed a little.
Death by accident? How could it be by chance? One is an accident, but all of it is not an accident. I believe everyone knows it. However, it is difficult to know who the person who caused the accident is just based on these.
On the mainland, there are probably people who want Tianxiang to have accidents and chaos, and there are probably millions of people who are capable of doing these things. There are eight hundred or eight hundred people. Of course, no one is willing to do it without the power to drive them.
Because you have the ability to do this, Tianxiang is also capable of confusing you.
If someone wants this kind of chaos and takes advantage of the situation in the middle to achieve the goal they want, it is not impossible, but these require a prerequisite, and you can do these things.
Although the princes on this continent do not have much protection personnel, it is not easy to kill them in a short time.
Another thing to do is to know their whereabouts, otherwise how can they be assassinated? Generally speaking, where the prince is, it is basically a secret, and it is necessary to find out that a very powerful intelligence agency is needed.
This time, Tianxiang had already killed all of them before he had time to react, which only means that this person or force is not easy.
Of course there is another possibility. This is done by people inside Tianxiang, so it would be easier. Whether it is to know the prince’s whereabouts or assassinate them, because they are their own people.
And what happened next, Ling Feng could be sure of one thing, that this matter was definitely an internal problem.
"What happened later? How did the remaining prince die?" Ling Feng asked curiously, without any sympathy in his tone, and he didn't care how many sons the emperor died.
"They were all assassinated." The emperor replied, and his words were rather general, making it impossible to understand the details. Perhaps he did not want to mention this matter.
"Uh, so that's the case, then why wasn't Li Tianqi assassinated?" Ling Feng didn't ask about the details, but just pointed at Li Tianqi and asked.
"He was also present at that time, but fortunately he was just cut off one hand!" The emperor replied, but there was no sign of gratitude.
Ling Feng looked at Li Tianqi's left hand and found that his hand had been reconnected. After it was cut off, he used light therapy to connect it. However, it was just the connection between flesh and bones, but his nerves did not connect it, which means that his left hand was useless.
"Are the princes gathered and were caught in one go?" Ling Feng guessed based on what the emperor said. The sentence "He was also present" means that the assassination happened in one occasion.
"Yes!"
"Who is the assassin?" Ling Feng asked. After so long, with Tianxiang's ability, he should be able to find out who did it.
"I don't know, I don't know how he came in, I don't know how he got out, and no one has seen him." The emperor gave Ling Feng an unexpected answer.
"That means, you have never had a fight with him? No one else was injured?" Ling Feng frowned.
"Um."
"In other words, the incident happened like this. A prince gathering, Li Tianqi happened to be inside. The assassin killed all the princes, but only cut off his left hand, with the hand of the ring of imprisonment. No one except him had seen the assassin's face. Yes?" Ling Feng asked calmly.
Who is doing this? I didn't expect that Li Tianqi would be so cruel. It was simply a change in the Xuanwu Gate in another world.
At the same time, Ling Feng also felt that Li Tianqi was very cruel and it might be understandable to attack his brothers, but it would be hard to imagine how to attack him.
Li Tianqi must have cut off his hand himself to remove the ring of imprisonment, which also explains the reason why he recovered his fighting spirit. This is the only way to remove it without Ling Feng.
Damn, I had known to give him a fighting version of the Forbidden Demon Collar, and see if he could cut off his head. Ling Feng gave this at the beginning because he was a man. Although he made a mistake, he would give the royal family some face.
However, Ling Feng did not expect Li Tianqi to do such a "feat" and actually played the role of "a hero broke his arm".
As Ling Feng guessed, this incident in the palace was done by Li Tianqi. He took advantage of the fact that everyone was not wary of him because his fighting spirit was imprisoned and he could no longer cause trouble, so he relaxed his vigilance.
Unexpectedly, he cut off his hand, took off the ring of imprisonment, and killed all the remaining princes. With his strength, it was very easy to deal with the remaining ones.
The remaining princes have not grown up or have poor strength, so they have not gone out.
However, it is difficult to judge whether it was Li Tianqi who followed the situation and implemented his plan to turn over his salted fish, or whether it was originally the situation he created. However, Ling Feng believes that the probability of the latter is much higher than that of the former.
No matter what, it is certain that Li Tianqi killed his brother for the sake of the throne.
"Yes!" the emperor replied expressionlessly, as if Ling Feng's words did not arouse his suspicion, and he still believed that it was the assassin's work.
And this is a strange expression on Long Jue's face, while the others are silent.
"It seems that you all know this, so we won't talk about it!" Ling Feng understood this situation as soon as he saw this. In fact, everyone knew this matter well, but it just didn't expose it.
The emperor knew, but without his offspring, he could only let Li Tianqi become the crown prince again.
Long Jue also knew, but for his brotherly loyalty and Tianxiang, he had to compromise.
In this matter, the emperor plays the main role, everything depends on his decision. If he wants to execute Li Tianqi, it will be easy, and Long Jue will definitely support it.
But with no successors, he chose to remain silent, choose to be silent when this has not happened, and when Li Tianqi is innocent, this may be unimaginable and incomprehensible, but if you are in his position, you will understand.
An emperor will only bring chaos to the empire if he has no successor. Instead of doing this, it is better to choose Li Tianqi. At the same time, he also has selfish intentions. If he does not choose Li Tianqi, he will choose other people from the royal family, that is, he is not his son. For a father, no matter how his son ishaved, he will forgive him in the end, especially when there is only one, he is afraid of losing his son again.
As for Long Jue, even though he knew that the emperor had chosen the wrong choice, he could only choose with him. In addition to loyalty, he also has the right to be brothers. How can you let him oppose brothers for decades?
In addition, Long Jue believed that Li Tianqi would not dare to attack the Long family because it would only bring disaster to him.
In fact, as the crown prince, Li Tianqi is not a problem. A good emperor is not necessarily a good person. They all know this clearly.
Ling Feng also understands this very well, because Li Shimin is the best example. He also killed other heirs of the throne and won the throne. He is also a good emperor recognized by history.
However, no matter how understanding is, Li Tianqi has threatened himself to put the Long family under house arrest and destroy the Black Stone Mountain. This is what he cannot forgive.
"Now I'm full of food and food, so I should talk about the serious business." Ling Feng clapped his hands and said lightly.
Finally got to the point! Everyone thought to themselves, and at the same time focused their attention on Ling Feng to see how he would negotiate with Li Tianqi and what conditions to put forward to exchange for everyone in the Long family, including his own lives.
Today, Li Tianqi's purpose is to do this. He wants Ling Feng's things more than he wants his life, because Ling Feng's things can make him invincible and the world. With his cleverness, he can naturally distinguish which is more important.
However, everyone unexpectedly discovered that Ling Feng’s so-called serious matter did not refer to this, but...
"Your Majesty, I want to know that I will marry the Seventh Princess." Ling Feng said with a smile. It means that it is the same whether you agree or not.
"Ah..." Everyone looked at Ling Feng in amazement.
"As for the betrothal gift, today is Li Tianqi's life, and the rest will be added later." Ling Feng smiled slightly, not caring about other expressions at all.
