The distance between Longling Mountain and the Sient Empire is only over 300 kilometers. With Zhang Fan's speed and full strength, it can be reached in two or three hours, which is much faster than many technological and civilized means of transportation.
When Zhang Fan arrived at Didu, it was already dark.
Another day passed, and Zhang Fan logged off on time amid the system prompts.
When they came to the living room, Qiao Ling'er and others were already offline and chatting on the sofa.
"Brother, you finally came out." Zhang Xiaoling raised her head.
Qiao Ling'er asked gently: "Have you found the jade pendant?"
Zhang Fan shook his head: "I don't have a clue yet, I guess I have to wait for a while. Moreover, this time a unique hidden mission has been triggered. I plan to complete the mission first, and then continue to look for the jade pendant. It will only take a few days to complete the mission."
.”
As the wedding day gets closer, Qiao Ling'er becomes more gentle and considerate, perhaps adapting to the role of 'wife' in advance.
"What mission?" Zhang Xiaoling asked curiously.
Regarding this sister who had a particularly serious gossip mentality, Zhang Fan had no idea what to do with her, so he explained softly.
Zhang Xiaoling suddenly felt as if she had discovered a new world, and was amazed, saying: "It's amazing that there is such a mission. But Liu Yun is so lucky, and can live the addiction of the queen. It's a pity that I don't have such an opportunity, alas~
"
"Why, you still want to be the queen?" Zhang Fan couldn't laugh or cry.
The little girl said matter-of-factly: "What's wrong with being a queen? Look at Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, how majestic she was!?"
He ruffled her hair fiercely. Amid the little girl's dissatisfaction and protest, Zhang Fan said: "I really don't know what's in your mind. You only think about these things all day long. Instead of thinking randomly, you should practice more."
Level, when your strength improves, can you become a queen in the game?"
Then she yelled and rushed into the room: "I have decided to work hard from now on."
Zhang Fan couldn't laugh or cry again, shook his head, and had no choice but to let this girl do whatever she wanted. She was the little princess of the Zhang family, and anyone who dared to offend her would end up in a tragic situation. Even Zhang Fan, a super master who thought he was the best on earth, would
I don’t dare to provoke this guy. In Zhang Fan’s opinion, the number one master on earth should actually be his little sister.
Isn't it? Even I don't dare to mess with her. She is not number one. Who dares to say that I am number one?
While laughing and playing, the family had dinner, and time passed by the night again.
Breakfast was very simple. After a few minutes, Zhang Fan entered the game.
Walking into Didu Huangcheng, the crowded streets prove that this place is very lively. This ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years does not have much sense of vicissitudes, but is permeated with a vigorous vitality, and the ancient charm is all left in many places.
Subtleties.
The old rule is to go to a large inn first.
After staying in the inn for a full hour, Zhang Fan vaguely understood some information, but obviously, this information was far from meeting his needs. After all, he was planning to investigate the situation of the royal family, and others did not know his purpose.
I have no responsibility to tell him specifically, so the various information is really not much. And it is too patchy.
The useful information he has received now is: the emperor's name is Liu Qing. The emperor has five sons and three daughters, that is, five princes and three princesses. Now the heir has been determined, and the eldest prince has been determined to be the next emperor.
, that is, the prince, but three of the other four princes are making small moves secretly, which can be said to be a surging secret. However, one prince has not made any move, and seems to have no interest in the throne at all. And among the three princesses, there are
The two princesses are already married. Liu Yun is the youngest, the little princess of the empire, and she has no lover yet.
Apart from that, Zhang Fan gained nothing.
There were too many things being talked about around him, too complicated, and most of them were talking about the young ascetic who had made a big fuss recently. There was very little talk about the royal family, and it did not involve the internal affairs of the royal family, so even if Zhang Fan listened for one more day, it would take a year or even ten years.
, the result is the same, it is impossible to hear any in-depth news.
"Waiter, check out." Zhang Fan paid the bill readily and left the inn under the respectful eyes of the waiter.
He inquired about it on the road and found that there were many intelligence organizations in the Sient Empire, but the largest intelligence organization was called Qiyetian, and the headquarters of Qiyetian happened to be in Didu.
Moreover, it is said that Qiyetian was probably built by Liu Sheng, the second uncle of the Sient Empire.
Although Liu Sheng, the second uncle of the emperor, did not have much power, he had unparalleled prestige. Almost all the people and many officials would betray him. In the early years, when the old emperor was still alive, he even decided to let Liu Sheng succeed the throne, but he didn't know it.
For some reason, Liu Sheng actually refused the throne, which made the throne fall to the current emperor Liu Qing.
"This person, haha, is interesting." Zhang Fan chuckled, "Did the prince who didn't fight for the throne also learn from this second uncle?"
It’s certain that he doesn’t love the country. As for whether he loves beauty, Zhang Fan doesn’t know yet.
I asked passers-by about it, but I didn’t expect Qiyetian to be so famous, even any passer-by would know about it.
However, if the leader of this intelligence organization was not from the royal family, things might not be so easy.
Even if he is a member of the royal family, I am afraid it will not be easy. The reason why Qiyetian has developed to such an extent is probably because the emperor is not wary of Liu Sheng. After all, the throne itself was given to him by Liu Sheng. If he were replaced by a member of the royal family,
If another person leads this organization, even if it is the emperor's own son, it is estimated that the emperor will never allow it to grow.
The most ruthless emperor's family is not unreasonable.
Qiyetian's headquarters is very small, with an area of only five or six hundred square meters, but there are many people. Every member of the organization carries out their work in an orderly manner. Zhang Fan has to admit that the second emperor's uncle still has his own way of management.
.
Zhang Fan found the person in charge and directly explained his purpose: "Is there any information about the royal family here? It doesn't need to be too in-depth, just some basic information."
The person in charge had a strange expression on his face, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, just a moment."
Soon a young man handed a scroll of paper to the steward. The steward nodded and said to Zhang Fan: "This is what you want. These are not secrets, so you only need 5 gold coins."
Of course, 5 gold coins is not cheap, but after all, it comes from Qiyetian, and with such a gold-lettered brand name, no matter how high the price is, it is not too much.
The currencies used in all major game maps of "Brave" are unified into gold coins and silver coins. Of course, there may also be diamond coins in the future, but they have not appeared yet.
After paying the money, Zhang Fan took the scrolls and started reading them immediately.
"This information is worth 5 gold coins." After Zhang Fan read it, a smile appeared on his face, and he was quite surprised.
The prince is in charge of part of the military power and has a domineering personality. The second prince is scheming. The third prince is talented. The fourth prince is still young and is the son of the current empress of the empire. The fifth prince is the strangest. He is indifferent to fame and wealth. He wants nothing. He only wants to live a free and easy life. It seems that
There was nothing in this world that he cared about. However, the fifth prince, who was indifferent to fame and wealth, was very close to the little princess Liu Yun, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.
The eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince are all currently in the palace. The second prince went to the Luojia Mountains, saying he wanted to train himself.
In addition, there is also a brief introduction about the royal family, that is, the history and current situation of the royal family.
Seeing that Zhang Fan had finished reading, the steward said: "You get what you pay for, how about it, you didn't waste your money?"
"It's worth it." Zhang Fan affirmed.
"But I'm curious." The manager looked at Zhang Fan curiously, "Why did you buy this information? Of course, I'm just curious. It doesn't matter if you say it or not." People in this industry are very taboo about asking customers some questions.
related things.
Zhang Fan shrugged: "I'm curious too."
The manager smiled helplessly: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Zhang Fan added: "I will buy two more pieces of information."
"Please tell me."
"The specific location and appearance of the second prince." Zhang Fan smiled slightly, "And the specific location of the black dragon."
The steward was startled and looked at Zhang Fan dumbfounded. He seemed to have guessed something.
But, is this too shocking?
Zhang Fan was speechless when he saw the manager's expression and said, "Why, this business is not going to be done?"
"Do it, how could you not do it?" The steward reacted, guessing Zhang Fan's identity in his mind, and his face became serious, "But the price is not low. The specific location of the second prince can be said, and the black dragon's
We lost a lot of manpower to get the specific location, which is not cheap."
"Just tell me how much it is." Zhang Fan waved his hand.
The manager thought to himself that it was easy, and then made an offer: "1,000 gold coins, no counteroffer."
Zhang Fan was more straightforward than the person in charge expected. Without thinking, he threw a cloth bag over, which was filled with heavy gold coins. The golden coins were almost dazzling.
"Xiao Liu, take out the ***, there are customers who want to buy it." The steward summoned his subordinates.
After a while.
Zhang Fan walked out of Qiyetian and walked in the opposite direction from where he came. From the system introduction, he knew why the black dragon captured the little princess Liu Yun. This opportunity was rare, so he might as well use his tricks. Didn't the royal family plot against him? Watch now
Let's see who can laugh last and let them have a taste of being plotted.
After leaving the city, Zhang Fan rushed back along a highway, speeding towards Yangzhou City.
Royal Palace.
Liu Qing could hardly hold his breath anymore. It had been three days, three full days, and he still couldn't find the mysterious young ascetic monk. He couldn't find him. How should the plan proceed?
In another luxurious building, Liu Yun was lying on the bed, holding a rag doll in her hand. She lightly hammered the rag doll with her pink fist, and an aggrieved murmur came from her mouth: "You bastard, are you really...
Do you hate people so much that you don’t even want to see them?”
