After getting the important clues provided by Hang Shiqi, Ao Wu asked Shuang Yu to search Chen Mu's memory, and sure enough, he found some clues in the memory of three years ago.

The poison under Chen Mu was taken from the Cocoon Orc who pretended to be a merchant.On the bright side, I bought a spice used to cook meat and stew. The old wolf king likes broth, and he would drink a bowl almost every day.At that time, the cook who was in charge of cooking in the palace happened to fall drunk and fell down the building, and the person who replaced him was recommended by Chen Mu.

This poison is mixed in the spices. It is said to be poison, but it is actually more like Gu. The spices eaten by the old wolf king are mixed with tiny insect eggs, which gradually hatch in the human body temperature, crawl into the brain, and occupy this place as theirs. It is a breeding nest, but at this time it will not cause substantial damage to the host, but from time to time there will be low-grade fever, headache and forgetfulness, and the priest will check it out as a kind of brain disease that does not affect health.

What really caused the old wolf king's condition to suddenly worsen, so that he had to replace the wolf king in advance, was the time when Ao Wu saw Chen Mu "poisoned" with his own eyes.

What Chen Mu dropped was not poison, but a kind of plant powder that induced those Gu insects to go berserk. He mixed the powder into the old wolf king's teacup. It wasn't fatal, but it would catalyze the old wolf king's death.

After Ao Wu bumped into him, he immediately detained the things and people, but no matter how the healing priest checked, the things were just ordinary plant powder, non-toxic and harmless.

Chen Mu argued that it was a folk prescription that he heard from elsewhere, and it was good for brain diseases, so he specially added it to the old wolf king's tea.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and the matter was finally settled.

From then on, the old wolf king's condition began to deteriorate rapidly.Their tempers are getting irritable day by day, and their training is getting stricter day by day.

Chen Mu didn't boil the old wolf king to death, but he was tortured by training to the point of death.Seeing that several juniors lost their lives during the training, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to withdraw from the battle for the wolf king ahead of time, planning to wait for Ao Wu and Ao Jing to be tossed to death by the old wolf king, and then pick up ready-made bargains.Unexpectedly, Ao Wu not only survived the training, but also successfully defeated the old wolf king and took over the throne smoothly.

Now Chen Mu's tossing and tossing turned into making a wedding dress for Ao Wu.No matter how unwilling he was, he was helpless. The battle between the old wolf king and Ao Wu made him realize that this little junior had a monster-like growth rate.Now he is not the opponent's opponent at all.

Ao Wu became the wolf king, and his first order was to imprison Chen Mu for interrogation.Ao Wu firmly believed in his intuition that it was Chen Mu who killed the old wolf king.But he didn't have evidence, and with the protection of Chen Mu from the chamber of commerce and the elder's house, he could only stand in a stalemate like this.So Chen Mu stayed in the prison like this.

Shuang Yu sorted out Chen Mu's memories of that year, and handed it to Ao Wu: "Your Highness's judgment is correct, Chen Mu is the murderer who killed the old wolf king. Although the evidence may be impossible to find now, if His Highness deals with Chen Mu now Mu, I can help to testify."

"No rush." ​​Ao Wu rejected Shuang Yu's proposal.Now that there are clues, it is even more impossible to close the case in a muddle-headed way, and find out the truth: "Our evidence is gone, but there may not be any evidence from the cocoon mouse. In addition, the Elder's House and the Chamber of Commerce that protect Chenmu are also You should give me an explanation."

"Your Highness wants to..." Shuang Yu listened to Ao Wu's tone, and wanted to make a big move.The Great Elder of the Presbyterian Church, the Third Elder, and the President of the Chamber of Commerce have all participated in this matter. If all three of them are replaced, the Northern Territory will be in chaos.

"The Presbyterian Association and the Chamber of Commerce in the northern border have long been rotten to the root." Ao Wu's expression was indifferent: "If you don't cut out the flesh and bones, you can't change the status quo at all."

"Your Highness has decided?" Shuang Yu's eyes lit up, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Ao Wu's tone was firm: "Even if it's not for the old wolf king, it's for the future of the Frostwolf clan."

Shuang Yu bowed deeply to Ao Wu, punched his fist hard on his chest, and made a gesture of loyalty, with a choked voice: "I would like to do my best for Your Highness."

Ao Wu helped him up: "You are my future partner, and we are the same generation, so there is no need to do such a great gift."

Only then did Shuang Yu suddenly realize that her etiquette was wrong."I'm just so happy," said blushingly.

Shuang Yu followed the third elder and elder brother, and grew up in the elders' house, so he naturally knew that the current elders' house was decayed.

The earliest Frostwolf clan established the Elder's House for the purpose of enabling future generations of orcs to learn about world affairs and discern truth while tempering their strength.

When the House of Elders was founded, the right to participate in and discuss state affairs was taken away from the Wolf King.Although the Wolf King commanded the military power, his internal affairs were restrained by the House of Elders.The juniors trained by the wolf king also need to worship the elders of the presbytery as teachers, and only after graduation can they be qualified as heirs.

This design was originally intended to make up for the wolf king's lack of experience in governing the country because he only knows how to focus on force.Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years, the elders' house has become a place where politicians play tricks on each other and exchange power.Later, the chamber of commerce that controlled the economy of the northern border was also involved, and interests and power were entangled with each other, like vines entangled together, pulling each other, gradually sinking into the depths of the mud.

And the vine that tightly entangles everyone is called family blood.The births of Shuang Yu and An Qing were the product of the third elder's efforts to climb up the vines when they were young.Later, the third elder used this vine to entangle his two sons again. Shuang Yu broke free with her priestly talent, but An Qing couldn't break free, and drowned in the mud.

Shuang Yu said that he wanted to avenge An Qing. Apart from the direct murderer called Yushu, he also hated his father who pushed his brother to this point, and the intricate elders' house and chamber of commerce behind him.I hate them for being a vegetarian, playing tricks and cronyism.I hate them for their desire for power, self-righteousness, and misbehavior.

It's a pity that it's not easy to shake these two major forces. The old wolf king and the high priest once tried to use gentle means to slowly correct the long-standing abuses of the elders' association and the chamber of commerce, but the result was that the old wolf king died young and the high priest couldn't support himself.Shuangyu didn't think he could do better than the old wolf king and the high priest, but if Ao Wu wanted to make a move, he would risk his life and try again.

"So do you want to attack the chamber of commerce and the elders' house?" Hang Shiqi gnawed the sliced ​​honeydew melon next to him, and made a crisp sound of clicking, and the serious and touching atmosphere between Ao Wu and Shuang Yu disappeared in an instant: "If you want me to tell you, why don't you reason with them? It's better to tie the people back first, and capture the king first. I think it's fine to arrest the elder and the president of the chamber of commerce. There are also three elders. If Shuangyu doesn't mind, I can also join them." Caught it, in case we go to fight on the western front, they will make trouble behind."

"This won't work." Shuang Yu reflexively denied this kind of robber's operation: "I don't care if I catch the third elder or not. I have long since lost his father in my heart. It's just that the northern border always needs someone to manage it, so I took them away rashly." It's going to be messy."

"Why is there a mess? It's not that they are the only ones who can do it. There is no one in this position. It would be better if someone else comes up." Hang Shiqi wiped his mouth and said.

Shuang Yu patiently explained to him: "The great elder and the president of the chamber of commerce have great influence in the association of elders and the chamber of commerce. If His Royal Highness the Wolf King captures them, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the entire association of elders and the chamber of commerce."

"Although the elders' courtyard has been rotten, it is not without capable people. For example, the first elder, he is His Highness's teacher in name, he is self-restraining, fair, and has a good way of handling political affairs. He has a high prestige in the northern border. It's not that he puts the interests of the elders' house more than the northern border, so he should be a very good elder. It's just that he's gone astray..."

"Well……

"Hang Shiqi didn't understand the great elder, but insisted: "But isn't this the more important thing?It is better for one person to walk slowly than for two people to run in opposite directions.You said that the Great Elder is very powerful, so we have to be arrested, otherwise he will use these powers to deal with us, won't it be troublesome? "

Shuangyu still disagrees. He grew up in the presbytery when he was a child, and later went to the priestly court. These places gave him how to be a good person and a good priest, but he never taught him how Hang Shiqi sounded like a villain's robber logic. .It's not that he sympathizes with these people, but he is worried that excessive means will lead to bad consequences.

"If they are caught, the rest of the elders' house and the Chamber of Commerce will definitely use various methods to force His Highness to release them. These methods are nothing more than using some major events in the northern border as bargaining chips. In their eyes, the happiness of their own children They can all be used as bargaining chips, let alone the life and death of other orcs in the north."

Hang Shiqi shook his head: "Some people, that is to say, there are still some who don't know how to do it. That's better. Observe who makes trouble and arrest them together. The rest are those who are willing to work hard towards the north. .”

Shuang Yu's train of thought was gradually diverted by Hang Shiqi: "Then how do you plan to deal with these arrested people, and how do you explain the reason for arresting them to the outside world? If you can't have a satisfactory explanation to the outside world, maybe you will be in the public eye." cause panic."

"That's not easy. There's no ready-made reason now." Hang Qiqi put one leg on the armrest of the chair, leaned back in the chair in a very inconspicuous manner, and said with an expression filled with righteous indignation: "It's all cocoon rats." Well done, their purpose is to mess up the management of the Northern Territory, so that the Northern Territory will be defeated without a fight, so they took advantage of the wolf king's campaign on the western front, captured our president and great elder, and spread rumors that it was His Royal Highness the Wolf King The purpose of doing this is to sow dissension, to cause discord among the Frostwolves of the Northern Territory!"

"Later, they still felt that it was not enough, and through the lists provided by the elders and the president, they captured a large number of elites from the elders' association and the chamber of commerce. Of course, with the efforts of our wolf king, they rescued these people back to the North However, they were tortured by the cocoons, and after being appraised by the healing priest, they found that their spirits were abnormal, they could talk nonsense, and they were prone to attack, so they were not suitable to continue their original work. Your Highness, the benevolent wolf king A secluded place has been prepared for them alone, where they can live and recuperate, and I hope they can recover soon."

"..." Shuangyu originally wanted to question Hang Shiqi and let him get rid of his thoughts, but he didn't expect to find that it was really feasible after he finished speaking, and even a little bit moved, so he had to use the sliver of reason left to ask Ao Wu for help: " Your Highness the Wolf King?"

Ao Wu nodded: "The solution is feasible."

Although the strategy is a bit sloppy, the advantage is that the risk is small. If it is handled well, internal fighting can basically be avoided, which is a good thing for the people in the northern border.Ao Wu was a little curious, but Hang Shiqi had more and more unconstrained ideas in his head recently: "Where did you come up with this idea?"

Hang Shiqi shook his tail: "I learned it from Cocoon Mouse, they have always been like this, planting blame and spreading rumors."

The author has something to say:

Hang Shiqi: They are all taught by Cocoon Mouse, Cocoon Mouse is really bad.

Cocoon Mouse: Not as bad as you.

Shuang Yu: ... Is it really No. 1?
