"Your Highness, rest assured We have been friends for so many years, how could I sit idly by and do nothing. I have brought all the people, all of them top notch experts. They have all entered the residence. I guarantee that the fellow who pretends to be a member of the Ghost Sect won't be able to escape even if he has wings. "
"That's good. Have you found out about your men? Don't let anyone sneak in just because you changed your guard. That won't be good." "You can rest assured. All the people I brought here have been following me for more than ten years. What do they look like, what kind of temper, what kind of disposition, and what little habits they have? I know everything. If someone really comes in to fish in troubled waters, I guarantee that I'll be able to find him in an instant. I'll protect you closely. Your Highness, don't worry."
" That's good. That's good."
Prince Yong seemed to have let out a long sigh of relief.
Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang were listening to it with curiosity. It seemed that this prince was also someone who was afraid of death. A death notice frightened him to such an extent that he actually wanted to invite the general over to specially protect him. It is also formidable!
Fatty Zhang said in a low voice, "Mr Lo, I thought that this prince was quite powerful. Hearing this, his courage was only average."
Lo Tian patted the fat man and said, "Don't talk, continue listening. Don't stop me from earning points. "
On the other side, Prince Yong just felt relieved. General Dong continued, "Your Royal Highness, I still have something to ask you. Why did you transfer the Imperial Forest Guards out recently? It's not that the various competitions haven't ended yet, but the large-scale mobilization of the Imperial Forest Guards. It wasn't too good. Moreover, they haven't passed the Military Department. "
Prince Yong frowned and said," General Dong, you don't have to worry about these small matters. "
General Dong immediately followed and said, "You can't ignore it. If something really happens... You're still using me to denounce you. You should know that I'm a person who knows how to fight a war or something. I'm good at killing berserk beasts, but I can't play politics or anything. All these years, it was all thanks to the trust of the empress that I was able to sit still without collapsing. But if something happens to me when I'm protecting the empress... Then I would die for it. You'd better tell me, I believe there must be a reason."
Prince Yong said helplessly," Do you really want to hear it? "
"Of course I want to hear it. Not only do you want to hear it, but you must also make it clear. My brain isn't very good, so I'm slow. Please explain more."
General Dong was very respectful. Prince Yong lowered his voice and said, "Then I will only tell you about this. Let me tell you, the Queen's headache is getting worse and worse. "
When Lo Tian heard this, he immediately frowned.
General Dong said in a low voice, "You mean there might be a problem?"
Prince Yong nodded and said, "Yes. The chronic illness was fatal. If there was really a problem with the empress, and she did not have any children... He was afraid of mutiny. So let me first clear out all the unreliable people, and transfer them away. Get rid of them, get rid of them, and get demoted. The rest are my trusted aides. Even if something happens, they'll still be more reliable."
General Dong immediately shook his head and said:" Impossible, the empress is so young. Even if you look at her lifespan, there are still at least 50 years left. How could she possibly collapse just like that? Your Highness, you are making a big deal out of nothing. Her Majesty the Queen has also overthought it."
" Whether or not you overthink things isn't something we can decide. I am also obeying orders "
Prince Yong's tone was not polite anymore.
General Dong also did not speak anymore, as if he was thinking about something. On the other side, the skull said softly, "My unlucky master, have you heard enough? My crystals are almost used up. Next time! "
" Mhm! "
Lo Tian withdrew his hand and sat up straight with Fatty Zhang again.
Fatty Zhang said in a low voice, "Mr Lo, it sounds like a big deal. Did we hear some secrets that we shouldn't have heard?"
Lo Tian said in a low voice, "If you keep your mouth shut, nothing will happen. I'm afraid the situation is more complicated than we thought. Just wait for dinner! "
They waited for another half an hour.
Finally, perhaps Prince Yong was hungry as well. He finally began to greet everyone and began to take their seats. The banquet was in the bamboo forest in the backyard. Various dishes had already been placed.
Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time, had their eyes glowing like wolves. The two of them looked around. Fatty Zhang was talking nonstop beside them. "There is a need to pay attention to the banquet. You can't pick too many young people at that table. This group of people will definitely not stop fighting over the food. If they were a bit slower, they wouldn't even be able to eat the chicken butt. They also couldn't pick a lot of these uncles and aunties. Don't look at the officials. They might even be scumbags. It wasn't easy for them to have a good meal. After eating, they still had to pack. It was alright to have a lot of children, but children couldn't eat much. Well, those old men having more was also not bad. That table, that table, Mr Lo, I'm interested in that table. A group of old drunkards came up and hugged the wine jug. These old drunkards only care about drinking and don't eat. It's a good place for us to go to battle."
Lo Tian didn't pay attention to Fatty Zhang. At this moment, he could already see Zhou Yuming waving at him. Lo Tian dragged Fatty Zhang over and sat down with Zhou Yuming. There was a huge table in front of them. It was more than five times bigger than an ordinary round table. All kinds of dishes were piled up on the table, and only those that he didn't know. There was nothing that he could not find.
"Deacon Lo, please. Everyone had participated in the battle competition before. Let's forget all our grudges! "
Zhou Yuming's words were pleasant to the ears. Lo Tian looked over. Alright, all of them wanted to swallow his enemies.
Hong Gang's face was ashen. Feng Hou's face was filled with surprise. The others looked left and right, but they didn't dare to say anything. Only Dong Huizhi could be considered generous. He went forward and patted Lo Tian's shoulder. "I saw you and Zhan Guang fighting. Beautiful. You have to kill those arrogant Forsaken Clan like this. Here, let me toast you. We still have two more chances in the future, but this time, we didn't have to face each other alone. It's such a pity."
Lo Tian laughed awkwardly and could only raise his glass. Even if the others did not like Lo Tian, they would not act up in front of Zhou Yuming. They just kept silent.
"Lo Tian! Deacon Lo!"
Another shout came from behind. Lo Tian turned his head and saw Prince Yong walking over with quick steps.
Lo Tian quickly got up, cupped his fists and greeted, "Greetings, Your Royal Highness."
Fatty Zhang and the others also got up and bowed. Prince Yong was scholarly and easy-going, and said, "No need to bow. All the guests are here. They sat down and sat down. The three girls were still dressing up. Everyone just needed to be patient for a while. Deacon Lo, come with me. I have something to say to you."
Prince Yong patted Lo Tian's shoulder and brought him to the side. The bamboo forest rustled under the night wind. The moonlight shone on Lo Tian and Prince Yong.
The two of them were a little further away from the crowd. Prince Yong stopped his footsteps and said, "Deacon Lo, I am ashamed to say that. I have a presumptuous request. I hope you will agree to it."
Lo Tian suddenly had an extremely bad feeling in his heart. He looked at Prince Yong and slowly said, "Your Royal Highness, please speak."
Prince Yong sighed and said, "Zhou Xuan is a little too arrogant and domineering. He does not know the immensity of heaven and earth. This time, the battle competition lost to you because of their strength. He couldn't blame anyone. No one would speak up for him. His Majesty has already sent him to the border to kill beasts."
Lo Tian already knew what Prince Yong wanted to say. He nodded and said," His Royal Highness is right. Killing ferocious beasts is also good. Only through experience can one grow. "
Prince Yong continued, "So we will not say anything about his matter. But his Rainbow Sword is a royal item. To be precise, it should be a royal treasure. It was a huge mistake to give it to Zhou Xuan this time. But we can't make mistakes again and again. So, Deacon Lo, please bear with the pain and give the Rainbow Sword back to the royal family. It's definitely not me who wants it. I really want it back to the Imperial Family. Put it in the Imperial City's treasury."
Lo Tian immediately revealed an embarrassed expression and said," This, isn't too good. "
Prince Yong smiled and said, "Of course, of course. It would not be good to ask for it directly. I also know the rules of martial artists. As the saying goes, the spoils of war belong to the winner. I'm not asking you to force me. I just want to trade with you. How about this, you return the Rainbow Sword to the Imperial Family. I'll bring you to the royal family's treasury, you can choose any treasure as compensation. How about it?"
Lo Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head." Your Royal Highness, it's not that I don't want to return it. It really can't be returned. It might, should, probably, completely recognize me as its master."
As he spoke, Lo Tian stretched out his palm and the Rainbow Sword appeared.
Prince Yong lowered his head and looked at the incomparably black Rainbow Sword. "It really acknowledged me as its master. Aren't you lying to me?"
Lo Tian replied, "Let's put it this way. I have obtained a wondrous rock before. It can be fused with a weapon. After the Rainbow Sword is returned to me, it will fuse with the wondrous rock. They were no longer inseparable, so he was no longer the original Rainbow Sword. Even if I want to return it, I can't do it. "
Prince Yong stretched out his hand and touched the pitch black Rainbow Sword. Then he said meaningfully, "So it's like this... That was really too unfortunate. The royal family lost another beloved sword! "
Lo Tian said in a low voice," The royal family will not punish me for this, right? I also did not do anything wrong. "
Prince Yong quickly waved his hand and said, "No, they won't. Of course not. I am just telling you about this matter. How to deal with the Rainbow Sword is naturally your right. Now, it has completely merged with you. If he couldn't take it out, then he could only give up. Lo Tian hopes that you can use the Rainbow Sword properly. Don't let down its reputation. "
Prince Yong said with a kind smile. His words caused Lo Tian to have a favorable impression of him.
"Alright, let's go back. Deacon Lo, have a good dinner tonight. "
Prince Yong gestured with his right hand. Lo Tian cupped his fist and cupped his fist, then quickly walked back.
However, the moment he turned around, Lo Tian felt a light on his back. It was as if Prince Yong's eyes were filled with killing intent, causing him to feel pain.
"Mask Tiger!"
Lo Tian thought to himself, then quickly walked back.
