"Perhaps." Lin Lichuan pondered.

With Qimingjiao's behavior style, it is really possible to get involved.

Seeing the frowning expressions of Yao Gan and Yao Bing, Lin Lichuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry so much, even if the Qiming Sect really participates in the battle for the throne, it may not be a good thing for us, thanks to Weicheng The muddier the water, the easier it is for us to move, isn't it?"

Yao Qian and the two thought about it again, and their brows gradually eased.

Seeing this, Lin Lichuan smiled and didn't say anything more. He returned to the room arranged for him by the Manches family and sat cross-legged on the bed without taking a break. He took out a shadow-invading medicine and crushed it directly, continuing to master the cultivation of virtualization .

......

In the imperial palace, in a luxurious study room.

Hodtania sat behind the desk, listening to his subordinates' reports with a blank expression.

At the age of 35 this year, he is in the golden age of the peak of a man. He has been in a high position for many years, which has given him a sense of majesty that cannot be ignored. Just sitting there quietly, he naturally exudes a chilling oppression feel.

There were more than a dozen people sitting around the study room, all of them assumed a solemn appearance of listening intently, except for an old man with a hooked nose who was seated closest to Hodtania. His face was thin and his cheeks were sunken. , the age is already old, but the eyes are still as sharp as a falcon.

Not long after, the reporting subordinate finished speaking, and silence enveloped the entire study for more than ten seconds. Then Huo De frowned slightly and said:

"Have you found out the identities of those assassins?"

"No, neither Yege nor the Imperial Secret Police have yet identified the identity of the assassin."

Huo De snorted softly: "Ye Ge is fine, I am afraid that the Imperial Secret Police are not unable to find out, but do not want to find out."

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Where is the Public Security Bureau?"

"After the incident, the people from the Public Security Department immediately stepped up their patrols in the noble area, but shortly afterwards, the Royal Legion suddenly issued an explicit order to take over the defense of the noble area and drove the people from the Public Security Department out."

"The Royal Legion? Who gave the order?"

"It's the Marquis Brocker."

Holder frowned immediately, and looked at the hooked-nosed old man, his grandfather, Duke Maurice, who was also one of the few great nobles in the empire.

"The assassination happened in the aristocratic area, and the one who was assassinated was the seventh princess. The nature of the assassination was extremely bad. It is normal for Broker to do this. After all, he is responsible for all the security of Baiwei City during the festival. If something happens, the first He is the one to be held accountable." Duke Maurice looked calm.

As soon as these words came out, Huo De frowned a little, but immediately showed anger again.

"That old fox, his attitude has always been ambiguous. No matter how much I persuade and lure him, he still refuses to show his attitude and stand in line. It's really annoying!"

Duke Morris said slowly: "Brocker is old, and he is a marquis, enjoying all the glory and wealth. Even if he goes up to a higher level, he will not get much more power and status than he does now. Compared with participating in the battle for the throne The risk that needs to be taken is far from being worth it, and it is reasonable for him not to want to take the risk, as long as he does not vote for Misel or Ai Lei, and always remains neutral, there is no need to care about him."

As the head of the Royal Legion, Brockel is in charge of the defense of Baiwei City and all the security in the city during the festival, and can play an extremely important role at certain moments. If he can be drawn to his side, it will undoubtedly be a big deal. help.

Even if it doesn't work, as long as he doesn't fall to the opponent, he doesn't need to force the opponent too much, so as not to backfire.

Hodder pondered for a few seconds with his complexion changing, and nodded slightly.

Chapter 263 Zhan Yue

When passing through the street where the battle took place last night, Lin Lichuan found that the vehicles and corpses at the scene had been cleaned up. If it weren't for the dark brown blood stains remaining on the ground, no one would have thought that there had been a tragic fight here not long ago.

In addition, there are many soldiers in red and brown military uniforms on the street, who are slightly different from the uniforms of ordinary imperial soldiers in details, but look more gorgeous and upright, patrolling solemnly.

In just a short while driving out of the aristocratic district, Lin Lichuan saw no less than five patrol teams passing by.

"That's a soldier of the Royal Legion."

Yao Gan's voice rang in his ears.

"Although it is an army stationed in the city, its combat power is not inferior to that of the Frontier Legion. It is one of the few elite ace legions in the empire."

"Is the law and order in the noble district the responsibility of the Royal Legion?" Lin Lichuan turned around and asked.

Yao Qian shook his head and replied: "The Royal Legion is in charge of the city defense, and the Public Security Department has always been responsible for the security of the city. However, the Royal Legion will temporarily take charge of both during the ceremony. It should be that the assassination incident last night alarmed Brocker. Order the Royal Legion to temporarily take over the defense of the Noble Quarter."

While speaking, the vehicle happened to pass by the central square, and Yao Qian's eyes suddenly moved, signaling Lin Lichuan to look outside.

"That's Brockel."

Lin Lichuan followed his gaze, and saw a middle-aged to old man with a thin face and sharp eyes standing on the edge of the square. He was wearing a straight military uniform and a gray beard. He ordered something, and the latter nodded respectfully.

Brockel looks hale and hearty, but in fact he is over 120 years old.

After a transcendent is promoted to the knight realm, his lifespan will be extended with the increase in his bio-energy level. It is very rare for a transcendent to be over a hundred years old, and the lifespan of a Huiyue knight can even reach 150 years.

"However, in this way, Brocker can be regarded as entering the last period of his life. Even if he doesn't kill him, he will live for 30 years at most." Lin Lichuan glanced at the Yao Gan brothers.

Of course, at that time, it is estimated that the people of the Black Flame Council will not have many years to live.

The ability of Huiyue Knight is mysterious and unpredictable. In order to avoid arousing Brocker's vigilance, Lin Lichuan took a few glances and then looked away, while the car drove through the square without stopping.

Just when Lin Lichuan was about to close the car window, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a crowd more than twenty meters away, and he was taken aback for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Yao Bing immediately noticed his strange demeanor.

"It's nothing, I just saw a few acquaintances." Lin Lichuan replied with a strange expression, thought for a few seconds, suddenly stopped the driver, opened the door and got out of the car, without turning his head, said, "I have something to leave. "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yao Qian and the two to respond, they walked straight forward.

"I didn't expect to meet here. It seems that my luck is really good."

Looking at Ren Yanan, Jiang Han and Lu Lin who were playing together not far ahead, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but flash a smile on his face.

A few days ago, I was still thinking that without Ren Yanan's luck, I would have to spend a lot of crystals to draw cards, but I met Ren Yanan in a blink of an eye. What is this good luck?

"But shouldn't the three of them be in Guanglan Academy? Why are they here?" Lin Lichuan was slightly puzzled, and shook his head after a while, throwing his doubts to the back of his mind.

Perhaps the three of Ren Yanan came to visit Weiwei City during the festival, but this kind of thing is irrelevant. The most important thing now is to take this opportunity to get close to Ren Yanan and draw cards.

With calculations in his heart, Lin Lichuan followed the three girls calmly, thinking about how to create opportunities to get close to them.

But before he could figure it out, the opportunity presented itself quickly.

The three women seemed to be tired from shopping, so they stopped in front of a stew restaurant, discussed a few words in whispers, and then walked briskly inside.

Seeing this, Lin Lichuan was slightly delighted, and stepped forward without hesitation. After the three of Ren Yanan sat down, he also picked the nearest empty table and sat down. The seat happened to be facing away from Ren Yanan.

In the past, he and Ren Yanan had dinner at the same table when drawing cards, but now Lin Lichuan used a mirror to change his appearance. On the surface, he and Ren Yanan were strangers, and he didn't know Ren Yanan's good luck in this situation. Can it still work on drawing cards?

But it's worth a try anyway.

After ordering the meal with a calm expression, while waiting for the food to be served, Lin Lichuan quietly called out the card draw interface, glanced at the number of crystals in the early 100s left, and directly chose to draw cards.

In the void where others cannot see with naked eyes, a dazzling light emerges out of thin air, and then sinks into Lin Lichuan's eyebrows.
