Disaster for the country, the enchantress is an attack

horn family.

Jiaolun returned to the Jiaozu alone with a gloomy face, and locked himself in the room.Because Jiao Lun was afraid that he could not control the anger in his heart for a while, and hurt other Jiao people.

Jiao Lun is like this not because of those half-orcs, but because of the orcs that were inexplicably folded inside. They were all carefully cultivated by Jiao Lun, and they just disappeared for no reason. , Jiang Huo promised yes, but it was three days later, when everything was settled, wouldn't his wish to keep Jiao Fei in the palace be tantamount to failure?

And the worst part is that he has no right to say no.

The more Jiao Lun thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "Damn it."

bang bang.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Jiao Lun suddenly looked out of the door with an unfriendly expression, "Who is outside? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to come over and disturb my rest?"

"Father, it's me." Jiao Xiluo's timid voice could not help but sound from outside the door.

"Ash?"

Jiao Lun raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Father, I think your face will be a little pale when you come back, so...so I specially stewed some tonics for you. I wonder if my father will let me in? If not, I can put the tonics outside. However, father must Don't forget to drink."

Jiao Xi's unabashed concern immediately made Jiao Lun feel warm.

Yes, Jiaofei is hopeless, but he still has Jiaoxi.

"come in."

"Yes, father."

With Jiao Lun's consent, Jiao Xi immediately opened the door and walked in holding the tonic, then carefully placed the tonic on the table, and said in a gentle voice, "Father, this is stewed with the antler of the light antelope. effect."

"Ah Xi, of all my children, you are the most careful." Jiao Lun sighed silently, and then took a sip with a spoon, "Not bad, not bad, the taste is just right, you have a heart."

Jiao Xi's face turned red immediately, "Father, you have been honored. Father, you have always devoted yourself to the Jiao clan. I am only doing my best, which is nothing."

"Well, if Ah Fei can have half of you, I will be satisfied." When Jiao Fei was mentioned, Jiao Lun seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face instantly sank.

"Father, did something happen?"

Jiao Xi looked at Jiao Lun full of worry.

However, at the same time as he was asking in the depths of his eyes, a dark glow that even Jiaolun couldn't detect flashed across quickly.

"Afei's matter may not turn around."

Perhaps Jiao Xi's eyes were too sincere, Jiao Lun said it subconsciously.

"How could it be?" Jiao Xi gasped, not daring to believe it, "Didn't father go to ask the priest in the clan? Could it be that the priest refused??"

Regarding the existence of Jiang Huo, the Jiao clan has always declared that he is the family's unborn great priest, because he is devoted to cultivation and ignores common things.

"Yes, and no." Jiao Lun shook his head with a wry smile.

It will be much easier if the other party is really offering.

Seeing that Jiao Lun didn't want to talk more, Jiao Xi changed the topic calmly, "Father, what about Brother Fei? You must help Brother Fei."

"I can't help it." After Jiao Lun finished speaking with a sense of decadence, he turned his attention to Jiao Xi, "Ah Xi, since there is no way for Ah Fei, the marriage between you and the seventh prince is imperative. , you must not let me down, the glory of the Horn Clan falls on you."

to be frank.

If it was possible, Jiao Lun would not be willing to let Jiao Fei, who grew up under his doting, become a useless chess game. However, when things got to this point, Jiao Lun had to make a choice.

Ah Fei, my father has tried his best, so I can only wrong you.

"Axi, after I bring Ah Fei back, you must solve Ah Fei well, and don't let him know about it? From now on, you will be your brother Fei's support in the clan."

"Father, if you don't tell me, I will take good care of Brother Fei." Jiao Xi nodded solemnly, then seemed to remember something, and said worriedly, "I'm just worried that if I care too much about Brother Fei, it will have the opposite effect."

"This... I didn't think carefully." Jiao Xi's words immediately reminded Jiao Lun, and Jiao Lun had no choice but to change his words, "Ah Xi, you still treat Ah Fei as you always do, and you only need to help out in urgent matters. "

"Yes, father, if someone dares to listen to Brother Huafei in private, I will definitely not forgive him lightly."

"Okay, very good, I feel relieved with your words."

Jiao Lun patted Jiao Xi's shoulder in relief.

Jiao Fei will definitely receive a lot of criticism when he comes back from the palace this time, and he will even be spurned by some Jiao people in private.Although Jiao Lun is the patriarch, he is too busy on weekdays/days/days to care about Jiao Fei at all.

……

the other side.

As soon as Xinsu came to Xumi Palace, he said directly, "My lord, when I investigated Mr. Shenzhi, I found that many families had half-orcs missing. Moreover, in other towns near Wangcheng, there have also been orcs inexplicably. Missing."

Teng Li lowered his head without saying a word.

Teng Sanpao raised his eyebrows, "The orcs and half-orcs are missing?"

"Yes." Xinsu nodded, "I suspect that most of the missing orcs and half-orcs were captured by the same person. Because the prisoners who captured the half-orcs were very careful, and the number of captured orcs would not be large. arouse the suspicion of others."

Come on.

Xinsu was able to discover this matter, thanks to the investigation to find out the cause of death. After all, whether it is the kingdom of orcs or other countries, there will be a large number of half-orcs who commit suicide or are killed every year. It is difficult to arouse the attention of others. Notice.

"Are they related to Shenzhi's death?"

Teng Sanpao knew that Xinsu would not suddenly say something unkind, and he must have investigated something before bringing up the half-beast.

"Yes." Xinsu cupped his hands and said, "But it was accidental that Tengli and I discovered it. We happened to be going to a mass grave outside the city to search for things, and we happened to find a half-orc corpse/with soul-destroyer inside. Shi, and after in-depth investigation, it was found that this person was one of the missing half-orcs before, but for some reason there was only one, and the other missing half-orcs disappeared out of thin air."

From this, Xinsu can infer that at this time he has something to do with the black hands behind the abduction of the orcs and half-orcs.

In other words, that guy was the one who killed Shen Zhi.

Yu Canglan asked coldly, "In that case, can I ask the high priest of Xinsu to take me to see the corpse?"

"Uh……"

Xinsu was stunned for a moment, never expecting such a request from Yu Canglan.

"Your Majesty, just ask the High Priest Xinsu to take me to have a look. I'll just take a look, and I won't touch anything..." Yu Canglan turned her expectant gaze to Teng Sanpao in an instant.

"My lord, Your Majesty, there is a spirit-snatching stone on that corpse, please think again."

Teng Sanpao took a deep look at Yu Canglan, and said to Xinsu in an unquestionable tone, "Xinsu, there is a beauty who wants to see it, so you can take him there."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Xinsu didn't understand why Teng Sanpao followed Yu Canglan's wishes under such circumstances.But in the end it was Teng Sanpao's order, Xinsu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and made a gesture of invitation to Yu Canglan.

"High Priest Xinsu, please excuse me." Yu Canglan followed with a smile.

Seeing that Yu Canglan and Xinsu had already left, Teng Li cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I think it's not good for you to indulge Your Majesty like this. What if something happens to Your Majesty?"

"Teng Li, you don't understand."

Teng Sanpao only gave an ambiguous answer and didn't say anything further.

It's not that I don't understand, it's that you have changed.

Teng Li silently said something in his heart, and at the same time, an uncontrollable bitterness rose in his heart.

How could Tengsanpao say such unreliable words in the past?

"Your Majesty, go a little further and turn left."

"Okay." Yu Canglan replied with a smile, and then looked at Xinsu meaningfully, "By the way, the high priest of Xinsu seems to be very special about Tengli. Could it be that... the high priest likes Tengli?"

Being exposed, Xinsu couldn't help stiffening his back, and retorted subconsciously, "Uh...Your Majesty, that's okay, Teng Li and I are both orcs, how could I have that kind of attitude towards Teng Li who is also an orc? thought."

"But your eyes are just like the king's looking at me. Am I really wrong?"

Yu Canglan scratched her hair in confusion.

"Your Majesty, sometimes what you see with your eyes is true, or it may be a misunderstanding." Xinsu heaved a sigh of relief, "Please investigate the next time Your Majesty says something like this. Teng... the reputation of the others is bad."

"Sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

Yu Canglan pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and nodded abruptly.

"Your Majesty, please, we have to walk a little further to arrive."

"it is good."

This time Yu Canglan didn't talk to Xinsu about the topic just now.However, unlike Xinsu's slightly apprehensive expression, Yu Canglan's eyes are more full of inquiry.

Are you afraid to say that just because he is an orc?

Although Xinsu didn't say it clearly, the complexity hidden in his eyes fell into Yu Canglan's eyes.

Mo make an appointment for a while.

Yu Canglan finally arrived at the autopsy place under the guidance of Xinsu.And the body that was found to have the spirit-snatching stone was placed right in the center.

There are still many orc soldiers stationed in this place, but no soldier dares to approach the corpse.

"Heart High Priest, is he?"

"Yes." Xinsu nodded, and continued, "Your Majesty, since you have read it now, then we should also... Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Xinsu was taken aback by Yu Canglan's next move.

Because Xinsu never thought that Yu Canglan would be so courageous to touch the corpse.

"Okay, let's go back." Yu Canglan didn't care about being caught by Xinsu, and calmly withdrew her hand, then smiled at Xinsu.

"..."

Xinsu, who wanted to reason with Yu Canglan, was dumbfounded.

Did I hear it wrong?

"Heart Priest, why are you silent all of a sudden?"

"No...no, I will send His Majesty back home."

"That would be troublesome."
