Chapter 158 Escape Li Daoye looked solemn, "Prince Fang, you mean...it should be your Emperor of Great Xia who colludes with the Blood Spirit Religion?"
"Xiao Shence was acting before he died. He was really a loyal fool."
Fang Chen took a deep breath, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes: "Now that I think about it, how can Xia Yu be qualified to make Xiao Shence die? He has been just the emperor's confidant from the beginning to the end."
"What about the rest?"
Mr. Li Dao was a little stunned.
He never thought that these ordinary people were all full of tricks. Even a monk like him could be easily deceived. He had no doubts about Xiao Shence's actions at that time.
"The rest of them? It doesn't matter anymore, but I guess they also think they are the prince's people."
Fang Chen sneered: "Xia Yu probably thinks so too, thinking that he has won over a group of confidants and can use the Blood Spirit Religion to help him become the emperor, lead Daxia to the top, and he will become a famous figure who will be remembered forever. emperor."
"But he never thought about whether his father knew about the existence of the Blood Spirit Cult. After Tao Yu reminded him, do you think there is any reason for the Blood Spirit Cult not to contact the Emperor of Daxia first, but to contact the Emperor of Daxia instead?" A prince with little real power?"
"My uncle is very thoughtful and ruthless. He uses the emperor's technique to the fullest. When necessary, even his own flesh and blood can be used as a shield and a life-saving talisman.
From the very beginning, he knew how influential the Blood Spirit Sect's actions were and thought of a way out.
He didn't really get involved from the beginning to the end, letting Xia Yu do things in front of the stage, and he just watched from behind. The most ridiculous thing is that Xia Yu didn't know the truth until his death. "
Li Daoye said angrily: "Is this guy too cruel? This Daxia is his Daxia, but he allows the Blood Spirit Sect to use Daxia as a furnace?"
Fang Chen was speechless, closed his eyes, and his soul suddenly came to the top of the palace. In the past few days, the palace was quite lively because of the matter of Emperor Daxia's Zen throne.
The palace maids and eunuchs were all busy over this matter, the civil and military officials of the court were also running back and forth, and the imperial army was more strict than usual.
Fang Chen saw the silly-looking Concubine Hua, saw a group of other concubines chatting excitedly about the crown prince in the back garden, and saw many princes meeting their supporters.
But the only thing he didn't see was the Emperor of Daxia, nor his aunt! "Not in the palace?"
Fang Chen frowned slightly, and his soul immediately went to other places, such as the emperor's palace in the suburbs, hunting grounds, etc., but no trace of the Emperor of Daxia was found.
"It's impossible for him to escape for no reason. If he wanted to escape, he would have seen Tao Yu enter the Fang Mansion. But it took so long. What ability does he have to disappear in Kyoto and take his aunt with him?"
Fang Chen's eyes were solemn.
In the next half an hour, his soul traveled throughout Kyoto, but could not find the two of them. The two of them disappeared between the heaven and the earth like air!
Gradually, Fang Chen felt a little anxious.
He didn't care whether the Emperor of Daxia lived or died. This cheap uncle didn't hold much weight in his heart, but his aunt Fang Cangyue was his closest relative!
Before marrying into the palace, Fang Cangyue loved him the most at home. This friendship has never changed since she was a child.
"If I could have seen through this earlier, nothing would have happened to my aunt. Xia Xuanji, if you dare to make my aunt lose a hair, I will fight to find you out!"
Fang Chen was filled with self-blame and anger. After all calculations, he had not taken Xia Xuanji into account because he had been pretending too cleverly over the years.
His soul flew out of Kyoto in an instant and searched in a circle for more than ten miles. Until he felt tired and his soul had to return to his physical body, he could not find any trace of the two of them.
"To be able to escape from Kyoto in such a short period of time and take one person with him, Xia Xuanji is probably already a monk, or a martial artist whose realm is far beyond my imagination."
Fang Chen whispered to himself.
Seeing that he had been silent for so long, Master Li suddenly said this sentence with a look of shock: "Who escaped?"
"Emperor of Daxia."
Fang Chen snorted coldly and hurried seeing this, Master Li quickly followed.
Not long after, the fierce sword guards in Kyoto were mobilized and searched everywhere, as if digging three feet into the ground. Fang Chen still didn't let go of the slightest chance.
Maybe Xia Xuanji just used some kind of cover-up method and was still hiding in Kyoto.
This kind of search spread to some official families, and even the mansions of major ministers rushed into a group of sword guards. No matter how the minister's family scolded them, the sword guards remained unmoved.
Some people want to bribe and try to find out the reason, but these fierce sword guards don't know what they are looking for, how can they answer?
The news quickly spread to the palace, and all the ministers happened to be there, as well as the fifth prince. When they learned the news, they all showed a look of shock on their faces.
Li Guozhu frowned and slowly looked at Jiang Yushu and the Fifth Prince: "What do you two think? The Holy Emperor just abdicated, and Fang Guogong did this. Could it be... that he wanted to influence the choice of the crown prince?"
"Don't make unfounded guesses."
Jiang Yushu stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "Fang Guogong's move must have a purpose. It may be that Fang Guogong discovered that there are remnants of the Blood Spirit Sect hiding and wanted to find them out."
Everyone took a breath and immediately fell silent.
But after a while, they heard someone calling Fang Chen's name outside, and then Fang Chen led Li Daoye into the hall. Seeing this, a group of officials quickly stood up to greet them.
"Fang Guogong, all of you are here."
Eunuch You said with a flattering look.
"Ah."
Fang Chen nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on Tao Mingsheng, Ye Dongming, Li Guozhu and others. His eyes made everyone feel uneasy.
The Fifth Prince was surprised and asked: "Someone just sent a message saying that you sent people to search everywhere, even the residences of major officials, but are you looking for the remnants of the Blood Spirit Sect?"
"It's nothing, just to make sure again and to have peace of mind."
Fang Chen suddenly smiled.
Peace of mind?
It turned out to be the case.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Chen smiled, "Have you decided who will be the heir apparent?"
Li Guozhu pondered for a few breaths and said: "Originally, the prince has died, and the second prince should succeed him as the crown prince. However, the second prince is still young, so the third prince must succeed him. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and the third prince has also died. In the hands of Qingsong..."
"Didn't the Holy One say which prince he wanted to succeed?"
Fang Chen interrupted Li Guozhu.
"Uh……"
Li Guozhu paused, then shook his head slightly: "The Holy One has not seen me in the past few days. The Holy One has said from the beginning that I should wait and make my own decision."
"In this case, you should think about it carefully, and I will go see the Holy One."
Without saying a word, Fang Chen took Li Daoye and headed towards the residence of the Emperor of Daxia.
