On this day, Duke Ruiya's mansion was particularly lively. One second the Western Union mission was assassinated, the next second Duke Tianshang sent Master Zhiwei to kidnap people, and then several guests defected.

When this series of things happened, Duke Rhea himself was dizzy.

The good news is that the leaders of the Western Union were not harmed at all thanks to the strength of their bodyguards, and Tianshang Gong's plan to rob people also failed.

The bad news is that the damn assassin can't be caught, and most importantly, at such a busy time, Mei Lindong, who usually behaves honestly, actually ran away!

Duke Ruiya couldn't help cursing himself for being slow. He should have noticed something was wrong when Fu Jirui sent a letter to Mei Lindong a few days ago, but he never thought that his own son would actually do it for a lowly Luan Chen.

The cultivator made such a stupid move, and he was so angry that he wanted to leave Fu Jirui alone with Tianshang Gong.

"Is there anything else? Let's finish it at once." Duke Ruiya took a deep breath and then exhaled deeply, trying to calm himself down.

The cultivator who reported the situation carefully glanced at his Grand Duke's face, then lowered his head and said, "And... Fu Ping is also missing."

"What?!"

With a shake of Duke Ruiya's hand, the expensive fragrant porcelain tea cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The green tea inside also splashed everywhere.

"We haven't figured out what happened... At that time, Tianshang Gong sent three masters of Zhiwei to rob people, but Fu Ping had already left the scene at that time. It should be expected that he would not be affected, but I don't know why he is gone now.

No trace..." The cultivator didn't dare to look up at Duke Ruiya.

"Gone?! How could a living person disappear without a trace!"

Duke Ruiya, who usually didn't change his color even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, was already trembling with anger, with a look of panic hidden in his eyes.

For countless days and nights, this was what he was most worried about subconsciously, but paper could not cover up the fire after all.

Duke Ruiya didn't know where the flaw was, but his intuition told him that this matter was closely related to Mei Lindong!

"Subordinate... I'm going to search now!" The cultivator dared not explain too much, wishing he could disappear in front of Duke Ruiya immediately.

"Wait!"

Duke Ruiya subconsciously called his men, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan": "Is there any news over there at the Western Union Mission?"

"No, they stayed at their residence without leaving, just waiting for us to catch the assassin, but..." The cultivator looked ashamed when he said this.

Duke Ruiya said tiredly: "I'm afraid the assassins won't be caught. Let's go back and find another way to compensate them."

He couldn't help but sigh to himself, feeling that he was going crazy. He actually suspected Xi Lian, a force from the north, and he had just arrived here. What relationship could he have with Mei Lindong?

"Also, according to my order, Mei Lindong must be captured and kept as quietly as possible, let alone let her fall into Lone Star's hands! I suspect that Fu Ping is also there!" Ruiya Gong said in a deep voice.

road.

"Yes!" The cultivator immediately responded and retreated.

Duke Ruiya stood there silently, staring blankly at the huge landscape painting in the room. Then he seemed to have lost all his strength and slowly sat down on the golden soft chair, as if he had grown old in an instant.

Ten years old.

He didn't know whether his decision back then was right or wrong. Maybe... letting Fu Yuewei and Fu Ping disappear forever would truly eliminate future troubles.

But he couldn't do it after all.

Even if Fu Yuewei hated him so much, he couldn't kill his eldest daughter.

Who told him to lie to her?

Duke Ruiya closed his eyes and showed a sarcastic wry smile, as if he was mocking himself for still having a trace of fatal warmth left.

How would the royal family react if they knew the truth?

He had to think about the worst outcome.

Duke Ruiya was not afraid of the royal family's anger and counterattack, but he was afraid that other princes would take up the banner of respecting the king and resisting the barbarians, and would work together to isolate Ruifuxing, especially Lord Tianshang.

Although it was obvious that everyone conspired to murder the 18th generation of King Nan, once the window paper was pierced, no one would help him share the responsibility.

On the contrary, adding insult to injury is a skill that all princes cannot learn.

"Thousand Eagles."

Duke Ruiya suddenly spoke and called out in a low voice.

"My subordinate is here!" A twisted black shadow suddenly appeared from the corner of the room.

"Go on with the order. Even if you make more concessions, you must exchange Rui'er back as quickly as possible. Of course, you also know the skills of negotiation. The more you do this, the less you can show your eagerness, lest you be treated as a softie by Tianshang Gong.

Take it easy, in short... I only want one result, understand?" Duke Ruiya said slowly.

"I understand!" Qian Ying didn't ask any more questions and turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

"There's no time..."

Duke Ruiya sighed softly. He seemed to have accumulated strength for a long time before he finally straightened up from the soft chair and stood up slowly while holding on to the armrest.

Afterwards, he straightened his clothes, brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves and robes, resumed his noble and solemn demeanor as Lord Rhea, and strode out of the room, no longer showing any trace of sluggishness.

Even if he dies, he must maintain his final dignity.

…

When Jing Ping woke up, he shivered involuntarily, and then he felt a biting coldness all over his body.

He was woken up by a basin of ice water, which shows how bad the other party's attitude was.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Jing Ping sat up suddenly and found that he was in a dark prison with a forbidden spirit ring on his hand, making him weaker than an ordinary person.

And a smiling young man was looking at him up and down with evil intentions, and there were a man and two women beside him.

"Mei Lindong! I haven't offended you, have I?"

Jing Ping's eyes fell on the girl on the far right, and he asked calmly.

"Don't be nervous, we just want to ask you a few questions. Of course, if you are unwilling to cooperate, then I will have to take other measures." Mei Lindong crossed her arms and said.

"Do you want to leave the Grand Duke's Mansion? If so, we still have discussions, and you don't need to..." Jing Ping's thoughts changed rapidly.

"Oh, sorry, I have escaped from that ghost place. Now you are in Nanhuang Star, King City, and Dungeon." Mei Lindong announced the names of places one by one and watched with interest as Jing Ping's face gradually turned gray.

.

"You, you took refuge in the royal family?" Jing Ping's lips trembled, whether from cold or fear.

"No, we have a cooperative relationship." Mei Lindong emphasized, then turned to Fang Zijin and said: "He is already awake, why don't we call His Majesty the King of Nan over? After all, this is related to the truth of that year."

Hearing the word "truth", Jing Ping was completely desperate. He suddenly turned around and slammed his head against the stone wall next to him, with a tragic posture of dying together.

"Hey, hey? Why do you hit the wall when you disagree? The wall hurts even if it doesn't hurt you." Fang Zijin quickly grabbed Jingping's lapel, pulled him back, and pressed him down on the straw mat.

"Kill me if you can, and I won't say a word more." Jing Ping glared at Fang Zijin fiercely, but the courage to commit suicide was squandered in an instant.

"Look, you've already said so many words, why not say a few more words." Fang Zijin curled his lips.

Mei Lindong made serious calculations: "Do you think it's better for me to let Sister Ye fall asleep and talk about it, or for Tang Weitian to come over and help?"

"Let Ye Mengling rest for a while. Tang Weitian's free labor is not in vain." Fang Zijin said matter-of-factly.

"What you said makes sense!" Mei Lindong agreed.

"Then you wait, I'm going to call someone!" Xuanzhu ran out of the prison in a hurry. This girl was very interested in hearing gossip.

However, for Jing Ping, these few minutes were more cruel and longer than Lingchi's execution.

He has realized that he has been exposed, and once the royal family knows the truth, he will probably die even if he wants to.

But the sad thing is that in front of Fang Zijin and others, he couldn't even commit suicide.

After a while, Jingping heard the excited voice of Nan Yanhe from a distance.

"Your efficiency is really amazing to me. Ruifu Star is such a tight place, I can't even put a spy in. You just kidnapped people under the nose of Lord Ruiya. I don't know how to thank you."

That’s it.”

"It's a trivial matter. Your Majesty, King Nan, please hurry up and interrogate me." Xuanzhu waved her hand proudly.

"Well, Tang Weitian, can you handle this?" Nan Yanhe glanced sideways at Tang Weitian.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am a world soul master, but I can't deal with a Fusion Void cultivator?" Tang Weitian said with an almost mocking smile.
