Seeing Lin Shan looking at him doubtfully, Lao Yantou took a deep breath and said, "Desolate tribe."
"Desolate tribe?
What's the meaning?"
Lin Shan was even more surprised.
"My master doesn't know that the Desolate Clan is a very ancient branch of the Guidong Clan. This race as a whole is very outstanding. There are often all kinds of geniuses who defy the will of the gods. Originally this was a good thing, but then the Desolate Clan appeared.
He met a very cruel guy, who ruled the Guidong tribe with cruelty, gradually arousing public anger."
"The final result can be imagined. The entire Guidong tribe rose up to resist and invited foreign aid to wipe out the Desolate tribe in one fell swoop.
It was the Helen clan elder who killed Mingyue's parents with his own hands, so as long as we tell Mingyue the truth, she will definitely turn her back on the Helen clan elder, and she is weak on her own. She must find a backer, and the master is her best.
's backer."
After hearing these words, Lin Shan nodded and said: "I understand what you mean.
Mingyue is the only bloodline of the Desolate clan. Her parents died at the hands of the Helen clan elder. We can use this to drive a wedge between them and make Mingyue choose us as her backers.
In this way, in order to take revenge, she will definitely listen to my words honestly."
"The master is wise.
That’s what it means.”
Old Yantou said.
"This matter is so private that even the Helen clan members don't know about it. How did you know about it?"
Lin Shan asked curiously.
Lao Yantou hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Ming Yue was saved by Lao Nu."
"What?
How could it be you?
Haven't you been staying in the mountains, waiting for me to appear?"
Lin Shan said unexpectedly.
Old Yantou said: "The high priest has already predicted the decline and outcome of the Desolate tribe.
Therefore, for about five years, the old slave hid in the Guidong clan and secretly guarded the bloodline of the Huang clan.
But we can't change the overall situation, we can only preserve a bloodline for the Desolate tribe.
This is also the order the high priest gave the old slave back then."
"I see.
No wonder when I met the old lady, she told me that you were the only one who had traveled far away. It must have been during that period, right?"
Lin Shan suddenly said.
Lao Yantou nodded, and then said: "My eye was injured at that time."
"Now there is only Mingyue, the only desolate bloodline left in the world. Do you think it is appropriate for her to be the future queen?"
Lin Shan said worriedly.
"The master is worried that she will retaliate against other ghost cave tribes and cause civil strife?"
Lao Yantou shook his head and said: "Actually, we can selectively tell her the truth.
For example, don’t mention the identity of the Huang clan to her. Let’s just say that her parents died at the hands of the Helen clan elders, which is enough to alienate her relationship with the Helen clan elders.”
"Will she believe it if we say this?"
Lin Shan asked rhetorically.
Old Yantou said: "As long as I tell you, she will believe it.
Although many years have passed and she has grown from a child to a grown-up girl, I believe she can recognize me."
"Since she can recognize you, does she have no memory of what happened back then?"
Lin Shan said hesitantly.
Lao Yantou nodded and said: "Old slave can understand my master's worries.
But in order to protect her back then, the old slave used secret methods to erase part of her memory."
"Well, that's more appropriate.
But there’s no rush to do this, just wait for my order.”
Lin Shan said.
"Yes, I will obey the master's orders in everything."
Lao Yantou respectfully accepted the order.
He is only responsible for providing suggestions. As for whether to implement something or not, it is up to Lin Shan to make his own decision.
Waving to signal Lao Yantou to retreat, Lin Shan walked up to Yan Zhenren, took her little hand, went to the top floor of the hall, then leaned against the window and looked at him, asking: "Sister Yan, what do you think of what Lao Yantou said?
"
"You don't trust him?"
Master Yan asked.
Lin Shan shook his head and said, "I can't say whether I believe it or not.
Please tell me your opinion first."
Yan Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "I just think it's a bit coincidental.
Of course, according to what he said, the Desolate Clan are all very talented, and it is reasonable to easily produce geniuses.
But this only desolate tribe happened to become a candidate for the queen, and he happened to be the one to save her. The most important thing is that Mingyue is still the most suitable person to take over as the queen."
"Do you also think Mingyue is the most suitable to take over as the next queen?"
Lin Shan asked.
Yan Zhenren said: "Samsara is indeed excellent, but her identity and background are difficult for us to grasp. Especially, she is the biological daughter of the elder of the Daqu clan, which gives her an advantage over Queen Jingjue.
And Chen Guang is indeed too kind. I have seen this child. He is gentle and speaks very quietly. Although he is very talented, he is really not suitable to be a king."
"Do you think Lao Yantou is also a member of the Desolate tribe?"
Lin Shan suddenly said.
"ah?
This..." Master Yan was surprised: "It's really hard to say, but if he is really from the Desolate tribe, then everything makes sense."
"If he was from the Desolate tribe and wanted Mingyue to be the queen, he wouldn't have told us this. Wouldn't this be actively adding to our doubts?
It’s against common sense.”
Linshan Road.
Yan Zhenren smiled and said: "What you said makes sense, but sometimes the more unreasonable things are, the truth we want."
"It is not easy to investigate the details of Lao Ci Butu.
He used to be the slave of the high priest and has always been very mysterious. Not many people know his details."
Linshan Road.
"Then what should we do?"
Master Yan asked.
Lin Shan thought for a while, then suddenly pursed his lips and said, "Actually, the best choice is not to make a choice."
"No choice?"
Yan Zhenren hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "You mean, let these three people remain candidates for the queen, and Queen Jingjue will still be her queen?"
"I asked Jingjue to choose the new queen, just to give her a kick in the ass and make her be more obedient in the future. I didn't intend to replace her."
Lin Shan said with a smile.
"In this case, all the plots will be meaningless.
But Lao Yantou should know this, right?"
Master Yan reminded.
Lin Shan nodded and said: "Yes, he knows everything.
So, what he said should be true, he is not from the Desolate Clan, and all this is just a coincidence."
"From your tone, it seems like I'm still not sure."
Yan Zhen said.
"Then just walk and watch.
The truth is verified through time.
Sister Yan, go help me invite Queen Jingjue, I want to have a good chat with her."
Lin Shan said.
Master Yan nodded and went downstairs to inform.
Not long after, Queen Jingjue came quickly, and under the guidance of Yan Zhenren, she climbed to the top floor.
Yan Zhenren went to guard the stairs, giving Lin Shan and Queen Jingjue a safe and independent space to talk.
"Jingjue meets the high priest!"
Queen Jingjue saluted with a respectful expression.
This time, Lin Shan could see a hint of awe from her expression and behavior, and it seemed that the show of force was effective.
"Your Highness the Queen, what do you think of the three newly selected candidates for Queen?"
