Chapter 315 Conspiracy
After hearing that Xu Ling finally entered the emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I wish you something to ask me to bring to you."
He sat down in the surprised eyes of Gregory and Simon III, and sent a pill of solid energy into his mouth. The sneaking along the way made him feel a little tired.
The emperor, whose body size is comparable to that of two, calmed down his mind first. He didn't think about why Xu Ling could completely hide his traces in the air. He asked first: "What did General Zhu say?"
"He said that if you can trust us, give me a token and tell me what powerful people in the city are loyal to the royal family."
"You want to contact them?"
Simon III, leaning in the chair, moved his body, which should be a normal person, but he was too fat, making this move look like a seal turning over.
Xu Ling nodded: "We don't have much time anymore. No matter what purpose Sergey has, he should have done a lot of things after so many days. We can't let him continue so easily."
The emperor frowned: "I thought about it yesterday. If he invited you to Immortal City was not for the purpose of good intentions, then there must be some malice."
"... Listening to your words is like listening to another words."
"What?"
"It's okay, you keep going."
"Okay, before that, the Immortal City Army he controls is originally hostile to your alliance. If he really wants to do anything, just start a war directly. There is no need to invite you into the city with great fanfare."
Xu Ling nodded: "Yes, we think so too. Now that we have confirmed that he is most likely not sincere in the peace talks, it means that what he wants to do requires us to exist at the same time as something in the Immortal City."
Simon III nodded, and the flesh on his face trembled: "Since you know, why not leave here as soon as possible?"
"Because we want to solve the problem at once." Xu Ling said lightly.
The emperor could not imagine why they had such a decision, and they wanted to speak but stopped, but he had seen enough "miracles" in the Xia people, so he didn't say much, and turned back to the matter itself: "I thought about it over and over again, and felt that there were only two things that were related to this matter."
"One is the giant cannon on the city wall, and the other is me."
Xu Ling raised his eyebrows, as if he was expecting this statement. He leaned forward slightly, approached the other party, and lowered his voice: "What you mean is that his plot may be about everyone in the mission, as well as yourself."
"That's right."
The emperor couldn't help but lower the volume. In the room with the curtains closed, the atmosphere suddenly became weird. "I suspect that they wanted to gather us together and kill us!"
“…”
Xu Ling shrank back and smiled awkwardly, "It's not that it's not that it's too reckless."
Simon III disagreed: "Sometimes, simple and crude methods are the most effective."
Xu Ling shook his head: "It's not this problem. Sergei personally entered the three towns of permafrost. With his personality, would he easily take risks? He must have a more important purpose, or a greater purpose of profit."
Simon III smiled and said, "What can you have a greater purpose? In the current Immortal City, he can decide most of the things alone. If he wants any other benefits, he can only be the emperor..."
Xu Ling knew that he had finally discovered the key to the matter.
"Sergey is no longer satisfied. He wants to decide everything and replace you and become the emperor of the Immortal City."
Simon III was stunned for a long time. He was not a person who was greedy for power, and contacted the delegation just because he wanted to resist and let himself be free, so he could not understand Sergei's psychology.
They already have such great power, why do they still have to be more aggressive?
After reminding, he finally remembered this fact.
Gregory was not as shocked as the emperor. He had always been a bystander. As a personal guard, he knew exactly how dangerous the palace was. If Sergey wanted to do such a thing, he would not be surprised at all.
Simon III recovered and said in a trembling voice: "I think you are right. If he kills me directly to seize power, the forces and people in the city may rebound. The cost of bloody suppression is too high, but if it is related to outsiders, then he has a way."
Xu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, the best way is to kill Je and then blame the mission. In this way, the top leaders of the Expeditionary Force and you will be solved by him at one time."
"What should we do? Can we start first?"
The emperor's reaction was more calm than he imagined. After all, he had been living around the enemy for more than ten years, and he might have been used to his safety being threatened.
Xu Ling hesitated a little: "Well..."
Simon III was wrongly impressed: "I'm sorry, I took the liberty, after all, this place is still an immortal city."
Gregory stepped forward and said with a little earnestness: "Can you sneak into Sergei's mansion and kill him like you did here?"
"No, don't talk nonsense, Gregory."
Simon III stopped his escort, "We cannot let others take risks for us."
They had the terrain map and defense map of the palace, but they didn't understand Sergei's close protection. He felt that letting Xu Ling go to assassinate would be equivalent to putting the other party in danger.
However, Xu Ling felt that it would not be difficult to kill Sergei alone. During the negotiations in the palace a few days ago, he hid the flying knife quietly on his body, which would be enough to kill all the members of the parliament present, and no one could stop him.
But the problem is that the situation in Immortal City is much more complicated than that of the tribes on the snowfield. If the situation changes suddenly if violently cleans up, no one can predict what will happen in the future. We can't kill all the forces with armed forces.
To put it bluntly, the emperor himself only had an orthodox status. At that time, the first one might have to be slaughtered to the sacrifice flag.
However, Simon III himself took the initiative to deny this idea. Although the motivations were different, the results were the same. Xu Ling stopped talking and just said: "So your majesty, we need you to control your own strength. Even if it is not strong enough, it is just a hunting team."
“I’m already doing it.”
Simon III said, "In two days I will begin to test the commander and strive to gain his allegiance."
Xu Ling felt quite relieved. This teammate just had no foundation and was actually not bad at all.
"In addition, I just said that I need a list to confirm that those people in the city have hope of winning over."
"I can give it to you."
The emperor said, "But, Major, please tell me what kind of things you have come to the city can do? If I have won the support of the hunting team leader, and combined with you, can I compete with the Guards and the Special Affairs Department under Sergei?"
Xu Ling pondered for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, as long as it is not covered by the World-Destroying Cannon, no matter how many people Sergei can mobilize in the city, he can all be promoted."
Despite expectations, Simon III and Gregory were incredible.
But no matter whether they believed it or not, they could only follow Xu Ling to give him a try and hand him the list and an agate ring as a token.
After returning to the hotel, Xu Ling told Zhu Talan about it intact, and then received indignant questions.
"You look down on us too much! Even within the scope of the World-Destroying Cannon, we can still lift them all. Do you know how many generals there are here alone!"
Xu Ling scratched her chin with a toothache: "Is it true or false?"
