Mu Ningqiu said with a cold face, "Is it clear that you want to die? Okay."

There was no emotion in her voice, and her eyes fell on Zhao Tianci's face, "Did I ever mention that someone is chasing me?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Tianci had an ugly expression, and Zhu Xiao's face turned livid, wishing he could beat this idiot to death on the spot.

At that time, his eager words to 'show loyalty' revealed a minor flaw. Although Zhu Xiao also noticed it and stopped him in time, he did not expect that Mu Ningqiu would be so sharp because of that unintentional sentence. If they failed, they would once again become suspicious of the two of them, and secretly sacrifice the artifacts such as Swallowing Heaven.

This shows that from that sentence, she had already determined that the two of them had betrayed her, and quietly led them to expose themselves.

"Your Highness the Princess has such a deep scheming mind and a keen sense of consciousness. I admire her."

Zhu Xiao glared at Zhao Tianci fiercely, and said with a gloomy expression: "I hope Your Highness the Princess will not blame us, we can't help ourselves. Now that the Jitian Demon Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom are at war, if King Yan does not die, there will be more If a person is going to die, only by offering the head of King Yan will the Demon Emperor of Jitian let go of the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven."

"Even if it's for the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven... I beg the princess to send King Yan on his way."

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Xiao's words made Mu Ningqiu's pretty face turn pale. That was because of anger!

"The ancestors of the Zhu family once opened up territory with the ancestor of the Mu family and were loyal to the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven. The Zhu family has been the pillar of the Holy Kingdom for several generations! Now that you have betrayed the Holy Kingdom, you are the eternal sinner of the Zhu family!"

Although Mu Ningqiu knew that at this point, Zhu Xiao and Zhao Tianci were determined to stand on the side of the Jitian Demon Kingdom. No matter how much she accuses them, once these two people decide to take action, there is no possibility of turning back.

But she still felt extremely angry.

Because this is Yanzhou, the fiefdom of Mu Hongxiu!

Even the aristocratic families in the territory of the Nine Kings of the Holy Kingdom have rebelled. Is there any place that is safe in the entire Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven

How many backbones of the Heaven-Devouring Kingdom have been instigated by the Jitian Demon Kingdom

Thinking of this, Mu Ningqiu felt anger welling up from the bottom of her heart, unable to contain it at all.

As expected, in the face of Mu Ningqiu's anger, Zhu Xiao behaved extremely calmly: "Your Highness, many things are not as simple as you think. Although the ancestors of the Zhu family followed the ancestors in the north and south, they conquered the current state of Tun Heavenly Holy Kingdom. But Yu Yin, my ancestor, has already used it to great effect by my generation. What can the Zhu family get even if they die for the Heavenly Holy Kingdom? The royal family controls most of the resources, like you Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was born in a noble family, has been able to acquire endless treasures since she was a child. She started to practice martial arts of the level of Zhen Guo Sheng Gong. But what about the Zhu family? In addition to becoming a small aristocratic family in the fiefdom of King Yan, Has your royal family ever given any benefit to the Zhu family?"

"How many of those ministers who were ministers of the Dragon died happily after the change of dynasties?"

Zhu Xiao's tone became more and more excited. An old man with white hair and beard had a hoarse voice at this moment, as if he was crying about the unfair treatment the Zhu family had suffered over the years: "The emperor is ruthless and the best at suspicion! Since the second generation of emperors succeeded to the throne, In the beginning, the family that had laid the foundation for the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven was like a tool that had lost its usefulness. It was weakened, squeezed out, and purged overtly and covertly. In my generation, the Zhu family could not even provide a genius to cultivate to the realm of Mingyou. We can’t allocate any resources!”

"Who caused all this? Your Highness, Princess, can you answer me, what has the loyalty you said brought to the Zhu family of Yanzhou!?"

Zhu Xiao's voice was close to a roar, shocking the eardrums.

Mu Ningqiu said coldly: "The reason why the emperor is ruthless is that he must learn to make trade-offs. On the shoulders of the emperor, there are countless people of the entire dynasty. The purpose of establishing the dynasty was not to protect the interests of the powerful, but for more. Create a place for the persecuted members of the 'Demon Sect' to stay!"

"The Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven has lasted for thousands of years. The country is powerful and the people have enough food and clothing. Under the governance of the royal family, almost no one has been displaced. If the current situation were not for the successive emperors of the Holy Kingdom to insist on the 'ruthlessness' you said, wouldn't it be possible? Do we still need to rely on moths like you?"

"Moth?"

The indignation on Zhu Xiao's face suddenly dissipated, but there was a hint of ridicule: "Your Royal Highness, you are still too naive. Without worms like us, the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven would not exist at all. What you said in your mouth The prosperous age of China is also maintained by countless moths. Otherwise, how can the so-called nine kings of the Holy Kingdom, the governors of various states, and the so-called officials in the court manage such a tyrannical dynasty? "

Zhao Tianci on the side also said: "If your Majesty can really be ruthless, you should first reduce the resources occupied by the royal family. Especially the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom, each occupying a rich fiefdom, this is the greatest injustice. Now King Yan also wants to invade Bazhou and Qingzhou. She has violated the interests of too many people, so she must die."

"Stop talking nonsense to her."

Zhu Xiao raised his hand, interrupting Zhao Tianci's intention to continue speaking, and said calmly: "Tuntian should have exhausted her energy, otherwise she would not be wasting her time with us. This girl is just bluffing. "

After they really broke up, Zhu Xiao even omitted the title Princess, and glanced at the golden cube in front of Mu Ningqiu, "If you want to delay time and wait for the rescue of Shenwei Division, then I advise you not to waste your efforts. . This operation is very covert, and the Shenwei Department has no time to react, and that secret order belongs to the powerful people of the Lei Department who are supposed to come to rescue you."

"It will appear in my hands. I don't need to explain the fate of that guy to you again."

Mu Ningqiu remained silent.

Lei Bu is in charge of the trial, and anyone who can be called a 'powerful' is at least a master-level character. Therefore, Mu Ningqiu was able to rule out the possibility of the other party's rebellion almost instantly, so the fact that the secret order originally belonging to a powerful person from the Lei Department would appear in Zhu Xiao's hands could only explain one problem.

Either the other party was seriously injured and lost his freedom, or he had been killed.

Thinking of this possibility, Mu Ningqiu said coldly: "You are so brave."

Zhao Tianci said: "Assassinating King Yan is a treasonous crime. Since we dare to come, we must be mentally prepared."

"You are indeed the most powerful genius of this generation in the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven. If you let your hands and feet go freely, I may not dare to take risks. But now that you have two burdens, how much of your combat power can you use?"

Zhu Xiao looked at Mu Hongxiu and Ling'er who were being held by Mu Ningqiu, "I can give you a chance to hand over King Yan, and you can leave."

"Mr. Zhu? No!"

Zhao Tianci showed a shocked expression.

If they let Mu Ningqiu go now, even if they kill Mu Hongxiu, they will be hunted endlessly by the royal family of the Holy Kingdom.

Even if the Jitian Demon Kingdom is outside to contain and support them, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom. Because killing the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom is the most extreme provocation for the royal family, especially in this sensitive situation, the Holy Kingdom royal family will not let the traitors leave peacefully. Even if they are pursued to the end of the world, they must be killed. The body was left in the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian.

Because this is related to the dignity of the royal family and no provocation is tolerated.

What's more, even if the royal family does not take action, when the Shenwei Division knows who the murderer of King Yan is, the four tribes of heaven, earth, wind and thunder will come out. At that time, not only themselves, but also their family will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be able to survive. Keep.

"Of course I know the truth of cutting weeds and rooting them out, but the matter has come to this. Instead of fighting in vain and ruining my own life, it is better to hand over King Yan and exchange her life for the peace of the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven."

"Since Her Royal Highness keeps saying that 'ruthless' is for the benefit of more people, as the heir to the royal family, should the eldest princess make a choice?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhu Xiao's old face: "Should you sacrifice King Yan's life to save countless people, including yourself, or should you risk your own life and fight to the end for her alone?"
