Chapter 772 Ruthless

The imperial palace in the human race area of ​​Qingtian Island.

Gong Fang stood in front of the throne in the main hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the throne in front of him.

"Brother, I still took this position after all, but what about you, you died at the hands of a small person. It's really an impermanent world."

Gong Tian died, on the Fengrao Plain.

Gong Xiaobai didn't have any accidents, so he probably couldn't escape the fate of death.

The two contenders for the position of successor have all ended, and Gong Fang feels that no one can stop him from sitting on the throne.

However, Gong Fang was not very happy, because no matter now or in the future, there is a lot of mess that he needs to deal with.

"The Beast Emperor, Demon Emperor, these two arrogant guys really think that I don't know your plans, and think I'm a fool to be deceived, right?"

"Just wait, when I ascend the throne and reorganize the imperial court, I will let you know that the so-called calculations are nothing but jokes."

Then Gong Fang lingered in front of the emperor's throne for a while, then left and walked towards Renhuang's bedroom.

Walking into the dormitory, he glanced at his mother and concubine who was still kneeling in front of Gong Zhenglang's corpse. Gong Fang's eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he quickly put it away.

"Mother, you haven't slept all night, you should go to rest quickly." Gong Fang walked to Li Fengbo and said softly.

Li Fengbo shook his head, rubbing Gong Zhenglang's face with his hands and said: "I want to see your father again, and I will never see you again."

"Mother, father needs to be buried at dusk today. If you don't rest well, you won't be able to preside over the funeral." Gong Fang persuaded.

Li Fengbo listened to the words in his hand, raised his head to look at his son, and questioned: "Why is it so hasty to bury today? The emperor is dying and needs a big burial. Many things need to be prepared. How can it be done in less than a day?" It can be completed, not to mention inviting royal families of other races to watch the ceremony, but the place of burial has not been selected, you are in such a hurry to bury, you want to find a random place to bury your father, and just deal with the funeral."

Gong Fang remained silent, he really thought so.

A person dies like a lamp goes out, and when he dies, he is dragged away to be buried. The grand burial is too cumbersome, and it really takes ten days and half a month to complete it. It is a waste of time. He is now in a hurry to take over and reorganize the imperial court , in order to deal with what is going to happen next, it is very urgent, there is no time to waste on a dead person, even if it is his own father.

"Fang'er, now that no one threatens you to sit on the throne, why are you still in such a hurry to bury your father? He loved you in every possible way when he was alive. Do you treat him like this after he dies? He is your father. Do you really care?" If you do this, not only will the human royal family be reduced to a laughingstock, but it will also chill the hearts of many people, so it must not be done." Li Fengbo persuaded.

However, Gong Fang was unmoved. Naturally, he had his reasons for doing so. He wanted to use this opportunity to see how many people jumped out to accuse him, so that it would be easier to start the next clean-up operation.

"Mother, you are tired, come and help my mother and concubine to rest, and take care of her, if there is any mistake, you will die."

Gong Fang waved and called a few servants to give orders.

Li Fengbo stared at Gong Fang angrily, she never thought that her son would be so heartless and ungrateful.

Gong Fang looked at his mother expressionlessly.

"Okay, okay."

"I really gave birth to a good son."

Li Fengbo finally gave a wry smile, followed the servant and left with a haggard look and a sad expression.

Gong Fang bowed and watched Li Fengbo leave the dormitory, turned around and glanced at Gong Zhenglang who was temporarily placed on a bed brought from elsewhere, and then walked towards the treasure house in the secret passage.

At this time, in front of the treasure house, a group of people were busy working. One of them, a rich old man, was pacing left and right. Regardless of the blood-stained meat on the ground, he anxiously watched the operations of several people who were cracking the treasure house.

When Gong Fang came here, he smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, frowned, took out a white scarf from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, passed by the ground full of potholes, and walked towards the entrance of the treasure house.

The sound of footsteps caught the attention of the rich old man. He turned around and saw that it was Gong Fang, and hurriedly attracted him.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" the old man asked.

"Grandpa, don't be so polite, just call me Fang'er like before." Gong Fang put down the handkerchief covering his mouth and nose, and said with a smile on his face.

This old man is Gong Fang's grandfather, Li Fengbo's father, Li Youdao.

"No, no, no, how can we call you like that again? At this time, it's not like in the past. Your Highness is going to be the emperor in a few days. I'll call you His Majesty again in the future." The old man said with a smile.

Gong Fang was noncommittal.

"Grandpa, when will the treasure house be opened?" Gong Fang asked without wasting time.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the people I brought are professionals in cracking the treasure house. They will definitely be able to open the treasure house in at most three days." Li Youdao patted his chest and said.

But Gong Fang was not very satisfied, "Three days is too long, I can only give you one day."

Li Youdao showed embarrassment, "Your Highness, if there are keys, no matter how many there are, and no matter how strict and complicated the protection measures are, it can be solved in half a day at most, but now that the keys have been stolen, the protection and defense system of the treasure house needs to be dismantled layer by layer. Opening the door of the treasury without causing the treasury to self-destruct is a delicate job that cannot be rushed, so I will say it sooner in three days."

Gong Fang was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Then I'll give you three days."

"Your Highness, if possible, it's better to send someone to arrest the person who stole the key. This will save a lot of time."

"I have already sent the imperial court priest to chase after him, but don't put too much hope in it. The other party will probably hide it directly after taking the key. Even if they are captured and interrogated, they may not be able to find out, so it is still up to you."

Gong Fang felt that the person who sneaked into the palace to take away Wu Yaoyan and stole the key should be a dead soldier of the Wu family, and it is unlikely that he would be caught alive. Wu Yaoyan naturally knew the importance of the key, and she would definitely let the dead soldier hide or directly Ruin, relying too much on it is likely to be a waste of time.

Li Youdao listened and nodded.

"By the way, how is Yamato Second Priest? Still unwilling to serve me?" Gong Fang asked, remembering something.

"After knowing his son's death, Zhou Gongfeng made a condition that His Highness will help him destroy the entire Wu family in the future before agreeing."

Gong Fang nodded, "Tell him that the Wu family must be destroyed by me."

Regardless of whether Wu Yaoyan or Gong Xiaobai died at the hands of the people he sent, he and the Wu family are already enemies, and they will definitely face each other in the future, so agreeing to this condition is nothing.

"Ask the priest and say that he only obeys the orders of the concubine and the princess, but I don't agree."

Li Youdao made a ruthless look on his face, "Do you want to kill him now that he is poisoned and can't do his best?"

Gong Fang said lightly: "Tonight, the eldest concubine and the eldest princess will die of excessive worry and depression because of the death of the former emperor. You can figure it out."

Li Youdao nodded, how could an old man fail to understand Gong Fang's words.

Then Gong Fang said a few more words to Li Youdao, ordered some things, and when he was about to leave, a guard ran over.

"Your Highness, someone has entered the exit of the secret passage on the side of the flight field, and they are now coming towards us." The guard said respectfully.

Gong Fang was a little annoyed, "What's going on over there, I can't even guard a place, people come and go whenever they want, and the people guarding there are all fools."

Before, someone sneaked into the palace and escaped through the secret passage with Wu Yaoyan, and now someone came in from there. This is using the royal secret passage as an underground passage, so why not let the palace get angry.

"Send someone to the secret passage over there, and kill the intruder."

Gong Fang snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
