Chapter 269 Someone comes in the middle of the night

In the dark night, the stars and moon are hidden, the clouds are dense, there is no light, the sky is as dark as an endless abyss, and the deep darkness scattered below seems to reveal an ominous atmosphere, which makes people feel fearful.

This is the precursor of the coming heavy rain and the beginning of everything returning to silence.

at this time.

The Tiandou Palace was brightly lit, and the bright firelight illuminated the entire palace, but the ominous aura brought by the darkness still did not dissipate the fear in people's hearts, and the feeling of being destroyed by the storm came over them.

Late at night, in the imperial study, several bright lights lit up the surroundings, dispersing the deep darkness and illuminating the people sitting here.

Emperor Xue Ye sat in his chair, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, not sleeping, but just meditating. Emperor Xue Ye's appearance had changed a lot compared to before, and his body was already very weak.

Now, my body is getting thinner day by day,

The wrinkles on the old face are like old tree bark, criss-crossing the face, without a trace of luster. The thick black hair on the head has also disappeared, replaced by sparse white hair, but it is also like a candle in the wind.

Like a flame, it will fall and go out at any time.

Just like the side of his life

With such a picture of a dying old man, it is difficult for people to imagine that this man was once, no, a year ago, a high-spirited emperor. Emperor Xue Ye's age cannot be called old. He is only middle-aged, but

Now that he is dying, it is difficult for people to imagine what he once looked like.

The changes of Emperor Xue Ye in the past six months have naturally attracted the attention of other ministers, but no matter how they help Emperor Xue Ye check up, the results they get are the same. It is normal and natural aging, except that he is older than others.

It would be nothing soon, which made everyone sigh for a while.

Emperor Xue Ye gradually began to retire due to health reasons, and the court was handed over to Xue Qinghe. In the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Xue Ye paved the way for Xue Qinghe to succeed to the throne.

It's a picture of prosperity, but how many people understand the sadness in it.

Today Emperor Xue Ye is still sitting in the imperial study room as usual. He persists in this behavior every day, as if he is missing the past time and expressing his inner fear.

It's just that today is destined to be a little different. He doesn't come here to miss you, but to wait for someone. He has a feeling that he can wait for someone.

"Knock knock!"

There was an untimely knock on the door, breaking the tranquility of the night. Emperor Xueye opened his eyes, revealing cloudy eyes. He was no longer young. The dissipation of vitality made him look like a real old man, and his eyesight was also cloudy.

, but the long-standing majesty has not dissipated.

"Come in." Opening his old lips, Emperor Xueye made a hoarse voice.

"Crunch~"

The door opened, and a man dressed in black robes walked in. Then he did not move and stood three meters away from Emperor Xue Ye's desk. He just stood there and looked at Emperor Xue Ye quietly.

After waiting for a long time to take action, Emperor Xueye flashed a trace of impatience in his eyes and said coldly: "What? Do you still behave like this in front of me?"

It seemed to be embarrassing, it seemed to be sarcastic, and the tone was not very good, as if he was very unhappy with the pretentious behavior of the man in black in front of him.

The man in black trembled, feeling as if he had returned to the past. No longer hiding, the man in black stretched out his pale hands and slowly took off the hood on his head, and a slightly coquettish voice sounded, "Brother, the majesty of the emperor remains undiminished.

Back then, my younger brother admired me."

The hood fell down, revealing a young face. Judging from its outline, it turned out to be that of Prince Xue Xing who accompanied Xue Beng to the north. But the appearance of Prince Xue Xing was really shocking. It was in sharp contrast to Emperor Xue Ye.

Over the years, Prince Snow Star has not only not aged, he has even become a lot younger.

Just like an old tree blooming and rejuvenating.

However, Prince Snow Star's face is very pale, with almost no trace of blood. His strange lips and blood-red eyes show that everything is abnormal. At the same time, he also exudes an evil aura, with a faint trace of blood.

The taste is extremely obvious.

Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Xue Xing would become like this.

"Are you going to see me with this demeanor of a human being and a ghost?" Emperor Xueye said coldly. His anger could not be heard, but he was obviously angry.

Prince Xue Xing's appearance could indeed be said to be that he was no longer a human being or a ghost. In addition to being angry, Emperor Xue Ye's heart was filled with hatred for him for not fighting and taking the wrong path.

Prince Snow Star frowned subconsciously, the red light in his eyes flashed, and a violent emotion rose in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed.

"Brother, did you know that I would come to find you?" Prince Xuexing said in a deep voice.

This look was really a bit difficult for him. It had been a long time since he had controlled his emotions like this. If the man in front of him was not the emperor of the Tiandou Empire and his brother, he might have killed him and sucked all the blood from his body.

.

"Who do you think you can hide from? It's just that I didn't guess that the person who came to see me was you, which surprised me a bit." Emperor Xue Ye said with a face full of mockery and disappointment.

He also noticed the cruelty in Prince Snow Star's eyes just now. He knew that the person in front of him was no longer his former brother, because the real Snow Star would not treat him like this. The two of them were once very close brothers, but now

Instead, they look like enemies.

As the emperor of the empire, Emperor Xueye had naturally noticed what happened in the north, and he was not as young and inexperienced as Xue Qinghe. As soon as what happened in the north appeared, he had already guessed that it must be related to the avalanche, and he did

It must be something treasonous and unethical.

It was only now that he saw Xuexing that he understood how cruel this so-called treason was.

"Since the Emperor already knows that I'm back, I wonder if you know what I'm here to do." Uncharacteristically, Prince Snow Star calmed down and said with a faint smile on his face.

"It's nothing more than asking me to help cover up and prevent Qinghe from noticing you." Emperor Xueye said with a calm face. There was another thought he didn't say because he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"It's a pity that you have gone too far. You have killed so many people just for your own greed. I will not provide you with any help." Emperor Xue Ye said and finally looked at Prince Xue Xing with an angry expression.

.

Emperor Xueye is old and retired, but he has not lost all his rights. The entire Tiandou Empire still has his intelligence network. This intelligence network may be useless outside the Tiandou Empire, but Tiandou

Not even the slightest disturbance within the empire could be hidden from his eyes.

A year ago, the intelligence network in the north was disconnected one after another, which had attracted the attention of Emperor Xueye. At that time, he did not take it seriously. He just thought that Xue Xing was eliminating these intelligence networks in order to prevent Xue Qinghe from using this information in the future.

The intelligence network obtains their intelligence.

When the population began to disappear half a year ago, and people in the surrounding areas died strangely, Emperor Xueye didn't pay attention, because people in the Tiandou Empire died abnormally every year, which was normal. He didn't think of Xue Beng.

Then three months ago, the problem in the north had become prominent and almost became a big problem. Emperor Xueye, who sensed something was wrong, felt that it might be related to the avalanche, so he planned to use the Tiandou Publishing House newspaper to cover up and help the avalanche.

To cover it up, this is the love from my father.

But this also aroused the suspicion of Emperor Xueye. He sent intelligence personnel to sneak into the fiefdom of Northern Avalanche to investigate thoroughly. Then it took him two months and hundreds of intelligence personnel to die, and finally obtained the information about Northland.

The situation on the ground at this time was appalling.

The fiefdom of the Northland Avalanche has been closed and refuses contact with the outside world. People inside cannot get out, and those who go in may also disappear. It is completely unknown to the outside world. Only after the death of Emperor Xue Ye, a strong man at the Soul Saint level, did he know

What happened inside.

The people's desperation is just praise. The entire fiefdom in the north has turned into a hell. Cannibalism is just the norm. All the people living there have become madmen. There are not even ten people left, but most of them are Xue Beng's subordinates.

And this is also the key to the officials of the cities around the fief not reporting it, because the group of people just went to the Northland and did not disappear. And after being there for so long and not coming back, everyone knows what happened to that group of people.

.

Emperor Xue Ye's angry rebuke did not make Prince Xue Xing flinch, but instead aroused the ferocity in his heart.

"Since Brother Huang is unwilling to provide help, don't blame Brother Huang and me. I can't bear to see Brother Huang become so old. I also want Brother Huang to taste the power of my magical skills and regain his youth again."

, now it seems there is no need for this." Prince Snow Star licked his blood-red lips and said with a cruel smile.

"I will not collude with you." After Prince Xue Xing revealed his purpose, Xue Yeda's expression calmed down, and he looked at Prince Xue Xing indifferently and said calmly.

"Then there is no other way. I can only control the emperor to taste such wonderful things." Prince Snow Star said with a smile.

He was not here to convince Emperor Xue Ye to help them from the beginning. After all, he still knew very well what kind of person his imperial brother was, so his early plan was to control Emperor Xue Ye and make him their puppet.

.

"Haha, what gave you such confidence?" A smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face, but what was more sad was that there was no greater sorrow than to give up. Xue Xing's performance made Emperor Xue Ye give up.
