The first thousand two hundred and forty-nine chapters thwarted the coup
"The Xiao family is in danger? Senior, what does this mean?"
Lin Fei was stunned.
Lin Fei also stayed at Prime Minister Xiao's house for several days, and his relationship with Xiao Yinyue was pretty good.
Therefore, Lin Fei naturally did not want anything to happen to the Xiao family.
"The eldest prince of the Yue Kingdom has secretly colluded with the heads of the six major sects in the Yue Kingdom, and is planning to stage a coup tonight after the martial arts competition to depose the current emperor and let the eldest prince take the throne as the emperor.
Once the eldest prince comes to power, he will definitely purge all the princes and ministers of the Yue royal family and eradicate dissidents.
The prime minister, Xiao Zhongnian, belonged to the camp of the three princes, and he also held a high position of authority. As prime minister, he commanded the ministers in the court.
The eldest prince will definitely attack the Xiao family and uproot the Xiao family."
The old man said.
"What, a coup!"
Lin Fei was shocked, as a result, the Prime Minister Xiao's family was indeed in danger.
Lin Fei thought of the Grand Marshal Liu Guangjue. Liu Guangjue belonged to the eldest prince's camp and had been fighting openly and secretly with the Prime Minister Xiao Zhongnian for decades.
Once the eldest prince comes to power and becomes emperor, Liu Guang will definitely not let go of the Xiao family.
"Now that the martial arts competition has just ended, the eldest prince is about to launch a coup. Aren't you afraid of the representatives from the three holy places and the representatives from the first-class major sects in the Eastern Region?"
Lin Fei asked.
"Haha, Yue is just a small country. It is insignificant in the eyes of the three holy places and the first-class sects. Representatives of those sects will not ask about the political changes of a small country.
Besides, as soon as the competition is over, the sect representatives will leave in a hurry with all the disciples they have recruited, and rush back to the sect.
Who has such thoughts to stay in this small place?"
The old man curled his lips and said.
Lin Fei was right when he thought about it.
"The coup attempt by the eldest prince should be kept secret. How did you learn about it, senior?"
Lin Fei was a little curious.
"Haha, it's not because of this guy."
The old man smiled and pointed to the ground beside him.
Then, in the surprised eyes of Lin Fei and Qing Luo, on the ground where the old man pointed, a figure slowly rose from the ground, from illusory and transparent to gradually becoming solid and clear.
Soon, a short young man with a strange build appeared in front of him.
This young man, about twenty years old, has a pointed head, slender limbs, but his abdomen is slightly protruding, and there is a faint evil aura permeating his body.
Monster!
Lin Fei immediately saw that this young man's true identity was a monster.
"Jin Jing, this is Lin Fei, and he will be your junior brother from now on.
This is Lin Fei's friend, his name is Qing Luo.
Get to know each other."
The old man took a sip of wine and introduced the three of them.
"Hello, senior brother."
Lin Fei slightly saluted the golden spirit.
"Um."
The golden eyes were also a bit small, staring at Lin Fei, revealing a kind of kindness.
"The true identity of Jin Jing is that he belongs to an ancient tribe of beasts, called the Tiangu Golden Rat tribe.
He has a talent that is good at hiding in the earth and void.
Once he hides, it is very difficult to find him.
Moreover, he is active by nature and likes to move around.
In the past few days, there are very few things that have happened in the imperial capital of Yue that he does not know about."
The old man chuckled.
Lin Fei and Qing Luo suddenly realized that it seemed that the eldest prince was going to have a coup. Such a top-secret matter must have been discovered by Jin Jing unintentionally and he casually told the old man.
"No, I have to tell Miss Xiao the news so that the Xiao family can make preparations."
Lin Fei stood up.
Xiao Yinyue and the Xiao family treated him well, so Lin Fei naturally didn't want anything to happen to the Xiao family.
"Junior brother, you have to hurry up. The Taoist nun from the Yuxuan sect, surnamed Ruan, will leave the country of Yue and return to the Yuxuan sect with the girl named Xiao after an hour."
Jin Jing said from the side.
"Thank you, junior brother, for reminding me!"
Lin Fei said to the golden spirit.
Then, Lin Fei took Qing Luo and immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the people guarding the door recognized Lin Fei and naturally would not stop them. Lin Fei and Qing Luo walked directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the large living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Yinyue was saying goodbye to her family, and it was hard to leave.
The middle-aged Taoist nun from the Yuxuan Sect was also sitting in the big living room. She brought Xiao Yinyue back to say goodbye to her family, and then she was going to take Xiao Yinyue to the Yuxuan Sect.
Xiao Yinyue's father, Xiao Shimi, and the Prime Minister Xiao Zhongnian were naturally in the living room, carefully accompanying the middle-aged Taoist nun from the Yuxuan Sect.
The Yuxuan Sect is one of the top sects in the entire Eastern Region, and its strength is only slightly inferior to the three major holy places.
To the Xiao family, this middle-aged Taoist nun from the Yuxuan Sect is naturally considered a high-ranking figure.
Just as Xiao Yinyue was saying goodbye to her family one by one, Lin Fei and Qing Luo suddenly walked in.
"Lin Fei, why are you here!"
Xiao Yinyue shouted in surprise.
"Hello, senior."
Lin Fei first saluted the middle-aged Taoist nun from the Yuxuan Sect. After all, she would be Xiao Yinyue's teacher from now on, so Lin Fei still had some courtesy.
"Um."
The middle-aged Taoist nun nodded, quite satisfied with Lin Fei's attitude.
"Miss Xiao, the Xiao family is in danger."
Lin Fei didn't want to waste time, so he immediately told the truth about the eldest prince's plan to stage a coup tonight.
"Lin Fei, what you said is true!"
After listening to Lin Fei's words, everyone in the Xiao family was completely shocked. After a long time, the Prime Minister Xiao Zhongnian took a deep breath and asked Lin Fei.
"Return to Prime Minister, what I said is absolutely true!"
Lin Fei said.
"good!
Very good!
Lin Fei, thank you for coming here to remind me, otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor, the Third Prince, and our Xiao family would be in doom!
Lin Fei, you are our Xiao family’s great benefactor!
Humph, I will go to the palace immediately to find the emperor and report this matter!"
Prime Minister Xiao Zhongnian respectfully resigned to the middle-aged Taoist nun from the Yuxuan sect, and then hurriedly left the Xiao family and went to the palace to see the emperor.
An hour later.
The entire imperial capital of Yue State was completely boiling.
The emperor's personal soldiers, the Imperial Guards, were suddenly dispatched. The emperor, the prime minister, and a large number of princes and ministers who were loyal to the emperor personally led the troops and rushed into the palace of the eldest prince with lightning speed, catching them by surprise.
The eldest prince caught him and beheaded him on the spot.
Then, a large-scale purge operation began in the entire imperial capital. A large number of guards poured into the streets and began to hunt down and suppress the eldest prince's henchmen everywhere.
Including the Liu family of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, a large number of the eldest prince's closest confidants were uprooted and killed.
Liu Guangjue was also beheaded by Prime Minister Xiao Zhongnian in person.
However, in the territory of Yue Kingdom, which had previously colluded with the eldest prince to prepare for a coup, the heads of the six major sects saw that the situation was over and had no choice but to leave the imperial capital one after another.
Lin Fei was completely relieved after receiving this news.
The Xiao family is finally safe.
However, what Lin Fei didn't expect was that after foiling the eldest prince's coup plot, the emperor of Yue State actually brought Prime Minister Xiao Zhongnian to see Lin Fei in person and presented him with a large number of holy crystals, elixirs, magic weapons, and other gifts.
There are various cultivation resources such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was now poor, so he naturally accepted it with a smile.
Most of a day later.
The old man took Lin Fei, Qing Luo, and the Jin Jing and left the Yue Imperial Capital.
According to the old man, he was planning to take Lin Fei back to the base of Cang Yan Holy Land and let him undergo hard training.
Lin Fei also had some expectations in his heart.
This Blue Flame Holy Land was destroyed more than 1,500 years ago. Now it has reappeared. I wonder what kind of environment the base of Blue Flame Holy Land will be like.
