"Om."

Lan Yu's communicator vibrated, and he took it out to have a look, only to see that Yuan Xiao intercepted the news strip just released by the empire.

[On April 1330th, 4, the Lan family was hanged for murdering His Highness the Second Highness. 】

Lan Yu stared at it for a while, and didn't feel much except sighing. This kind of result can only be regarded as his own fault, but Lan Ce is innocent anyway.

He sent Yuan Xiao a message back: I will return to the empire soon, please help take care of Lan Ce for a while, don't let him do stupid things.

But Lan Yu's heart dropped in the next second, and Yuan Xiao replied: I'm sorry, I missed Lan Ce, he ran out the moment he saw the news.

"Fuck, this kid—"

Lan Yu cursed in a low voice, but he could understand Lan Ce, after all, what He Yun wanted to kill was his family who loved him so much.

At this time, Yuan Xiao sent him another message: But don't worry, I will try my best to find him, no matter what, he is also my friend.

Lan Yu: Thank you.

He breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know why he felt that this woman, Yuan Xiao, was far less simple than she appeared on the surface, when she killed Ling Yiyao, she looked very much like... a well-trained killer.

That's right, it was the killer. Although her hands trembled, the coldness and sternness in her eyes did not subside.

Yuan Xiao replied: When you come back, you can give me news.I can go to meet you, and now the entire empire has opened a defense network, it is difficult to enter.

Lan Yu: OK, I see.

After returning, he put away the communicator, turned his head to glance at Ling Zhan, and asked, "What do you think of Yuan Xiao?"

Ling Zhan was silent for a moment, and said concisely: "It's not easy."

"I think so too." Lan Yu said: "She just told me that He Yun blamed the Lan family for the second prince's death, but I know she was just venting her anger and couldn't find any evidence to vent her anger. It's in the family's pocket, and she will be what she says."

Ling Zhan hugged him tightly: "If Horus hadn't been in the way, I think the elders would definitely punish the He family, but now—"

He looked down into the sky, and pondered: "I guess the elders and the royal family have reached some kind of cooperation in order to jointly resist Horus. Otherwise, with my grandfather's temperament, even if he doesn't like Ling Yunfeng, he will definitely not For allowing He Yun to expose such a thing, I even suspect that his power has been emptied."

"I don't think you should have any doubts." Lan Yu thought for a while: "Judging from the current situation, your grandfather's power has indeed been emptied, or the empire would have long been in the possession of Horus , and I feel that the eight major legions that have been divided for a long time should also have an unprecedented unity."

Ling Zhan was silent for a while, agreeing with Lan Yu's point of view, he suddenly thought of another thing, and asked, "How is Qingye's situation, are you still awake?"

"No." Lan Yu frowned slightly: "Since what happened last time, it has been sleeping."

Speaking of this, Lan Yu paused for a moment, and murmured thoughtfully: "Tell me, this Qingye is a breed after all. Not only can it talk, but it also seems to understand many things, just like a human being."

"Haven't you ever thought about it?" Ling Zhan said seriously, "Qingye is actually a human being, but he has continued his life in the form of a phantom beast."

"Perhaps..." Lan Yu looked inside again at the situation inside the mental space, and Qingye was still sleeping deeply, with no intention of waking up at all.

But Ling Zhan's words gave him a new way of thinking.

After returning to the hotel, Lan Yu contacted Lao Yan in a special way.

He looked up at the endless starry sky and asked, "Uncle Yan, is there any way to fuse the souls of the two people together while maintaining their rationality."

"Are you kidding?" Lao Yan vetoed: "I can tell you responsibly that this kind of situation is impossible at all, and there is only the possibility of mutual devouring. But——"

"But what?" Lan Yu's eyes lit up.

Old Yan said in a deep voice: "However, it is possible to cross species. Do you remember the contract in the era of cultivating immortals? Some kind of contract was reached between some people and spirit beasts, so that fusion can be achieved, which is equivalent to a relationship of mutual dependence. There will be no contradictions. But this situation only exists between humans and spirit beasts, and cannot exist between humans."

"Why?" Lan Yu was puzzled: "According to my understanding, human beings evolved from apes a long time ago, and they can be regarded as a high-level animal. Why can't contracts exist?"

"Lan Yu," Lao Yan called him and sighed, "You never know how ambitious people will be. Contracts can't restrain them."

"Oh……"

Lan Yu responded, chatted briefly, and cut off contact.

What Lao Yan said is indeed true. Isn’t the leader behind Horus an ambitious man? Through constant provocation, he attempted to annex the Empire and the Federation at the same time. He didn’t know what his next goal was, but he definitely didn’t dare imagination.

So, although a contract can be bound for a while, it can also be changed, right?

This is probably the way people get along with each other. There are few real friends, but there are many people who get together for common interests. Once the interests of this relationship are out of balance, it will directly break down.

Like Horus and the imperial family...

Lan Yu suddenly trembled, he turned and walked into the bedroom, and Ling Zhan just came out of the shower.

"Ling Zhan!" Lan Yu called out to him in surprise.

Ling Zhan paused slightly for wiping his hair: "What's wrong?"

Lan Yu: "I finally know why Horus values ​​you so much."

Ling Zhan looked at him: "Why?"

"Because they need an image representative, and you are definitely the best candidate." Lan Yu analyzed seriously: "First of all, in terms of your identity, you are a child of the former Empire God of War. After you take office and announce your identity, you will If you are absolutely supported, then controlling you is equivalent to controlling the empire."

"Secondly, it is the relationship between your father and the Federation. I think they want to use you and the Federation to build a bridge of cooperation and expand their ambitions. The identity of the son of an old man is really easy to use, but—"

Lan Yu rubbed his chin: "I think they suddenly changed their plan and turned it into a provocation, which made the relationship between the empire and the federation more and more rigid, and there was a vague sign that it was about to explode."

"Then why did they change the established plan?" Ling Zhan asked: "Besides, they shot me for the first time when I was 13 years old. What were they doing in the first 13 years?"

Without hesitation, Lan Yu said, "I don't know why the plan was changed. After all, it's just my guess now, but one thing I can be sure of is that they didn't move because they were quietly observing you just like Michael. See if you are suitable to be the image representative they need."

Ling Zhan roughly understood Lan Yu's meaning, and speculated: "Then according to this meaning, they have no intention of killing me at all, and they are even constantly training me, using my mother's line. But have you ever thought about it? For this question, I gave up this campaign. Ling Yijin is in the top position. Faced with a disobedient pawn like me, their best choice is naturally to give up and take the line of Ling Yijin. According to the situation we have See, Horus doesn't seem to mean that at all."

"I think," Lan Yu thought for a while: "Could it be that the leader behind Horus has something to do with the He family or Ling Yunfeng, and that's why he did this. Of course, it's just me at the moment. speculation."

Ling Zhanmeng suddenly remembered something, he turned on his optical brain and searched for a piece of news from many years ago.

The date displayed on it was 22 years ago, and the report was about the family suppressed by the He family, related matters.

It is said that that family, like the He family, also controls the waterway. During the night, all the waterway operations went wrong, and the interstellar navigation failed in a large area, resulting in the disappearance of the passenger starship and the collision of the cargo ship. After a big drop, the entire waterway was paralyzed, but the He family's waterway was put into use in time and received numerous praises.

In the eyes of the politicians, it was designed to replace the family.But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a problem of management. With such a big mistake, this family has no meaning of existence, and it seems to be taken for granted.

According to reports, after this family was replaced, it was destroyed by a fire soon. It looked like an accident on the surface, but the members of the royal family knew that this was done on purpose, just to hide being replaced. If the truth is true, then it is self-evident who did it.

"However," Ling Zhan pointed to the report and said, "Although the reporters said that everyone was dead, as far as I know, there is one person missing. It seems to be a ten-year-old child. When you find someone, you give up."

"So, do you think that the leader behind Horus may be this kid?" Lan Yu couldn't believe it: "Then this is a bit outrageous, if it is really him, how old was he when he disrupted the empire and the federation, Thirteen or fourteen years old? Then this is too unbelievable!"

"But it's not a problem, is it?" Ling Zhan said, "Didn't I also start working for the empire when I was this old?"

The fact is indeed so, Lan Yu has to believe in this bold idea, he said: "But all this is our guess, do you have any information about this child?"

"Not at present." Ling Zhan shook his head: "After what happened back then, the family's information was cleared. This news is still the royal family's internal information. However, the star network has memories. Find someone to dig it out, maybe you can find it." Find useful information."

Lan Yu: "Who do you want to find?"

Ling Zhan took out the communicator: "Yan Ming."

"Almost forgot." Lan Yu patted his forehead: "The master Xingwang who is so active is here, so it's not for nothing."

Ling Zhan smiled and didn't say a word, and directly called out the communicator. After explaining, Lan Yu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you know what I want to do after speculating so much?"

"Of course." Ling Zhan pinched his fingertips and replied, "You want to seek skin from a tiger to maximize your benefits."
