In the Three Emperors City, it rained heavily all night, and when it was dawn in the east, the rain gradually stopped.
In the Marquis of Qingyuan's mansion, there were corpses all over the floor, and several women and girls who had been knocked unconscious woke up with confusion in their eyes.
The next moment, a shrill shout resounded through the Qingyuan Hou residence, so sad that it made people shudder.
Not long after, in the imperial city, a group of banned troops came running quickly. The leader, dressed in heavy armor, was extremely majestic. It was Xuan Mo, the commander of the banned army.
Pushing away the Hou Mansion, his eyes were red with blood, Xuan Mo's eyes shrank fiercely, and he couldn't believe the sight in front of him.
In just one night, Qingyuanhou's mansion was almost completely slaughtered, and only some women, children and maids survived, which is unbelievable.
"The commander is all stab wounds, and there should be only one murderer."
Several guards came back to report after checking a few corpses.
"Um?"
Xuan Mo heard the words, his expression was slightly condensed, there was only one person? how is this possible!
"Go in and have a look."
Xuan Mo said something, and immediately walked towards the rear of the Hou Mansion.
In the deepest part of the Hou Mansion, after the war, it was a mess, the king who died in the battle, his eyes widened in anger, and he couldn't rest his eyes.
Xuan Mo squatted down and checked the injuries on Marquis Qingyuan's body. His brows were wrinkled, and it was still a knife wound. As expected, there was only one murderer.
However, in this imperial city, there are only a handful of people who can slaughter the entire Marquis of Qingyuan without knowing it. As far as he knows, there is no reason for these people to do this.
Moreover, although Marquis Qingyuan is old and withered, he still retains the combat power of a king, so he shouldn't be so vulnerable.
Even if Marquis Qingyuan was no match for the murderer, he should still be able to escape or call for help.
After meditating for a long time, it was difficult to figure out the reason, Xuan Mo got up, looked at the forbidden army behind him, and said, "The entire Qingyuanhou mansion is blocked, and no idlers are allowed to enter."
"Yes!"
At the rear, a group of forbidden troops led the order, and quickly left.
At the same time, the eldest prince and the third prince's mansion, the secret report came in, Xuan Zhen and Xuan Qing saw it, their expressions all changed.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Qingyuan was destroyed! How could this be
"Brother, what happened?"
In the Prince's Mansion, the fifth prince asked in confusion.
"There's something wrong with the Marquis of Qingyuan."
Xuan Zhen handed over the secret report and said solemnly, "You immediately send someone to investigate, who did this!"
The fifth prince took a look at the secret report, his expression suddenly changed, without much nonsense, he responded, and immediately walked directly outside the hall.
In the palace of the third prince, Xuan Qing handed out the secret report in his hand and said, "What do you think?" The sixth prince Xuan Yu took the secret report, read the contents, and said condensedly, "I can't tell who it is now. For this reason, there are not many masters of swords in the imperial city, but the people who can slaughter the mansion of the Marquis of Qingyuan overnight without knowing it, are the people.
Countless. "
"You go back to the eldest brother to find out. If something happened to the Marquis of Qingyuan, it must be our eldest brother that hurts the most." Xuan Qing said with a sneer.
"Um"
Xuan Yu nodded and said, "Brother Three Emperors, be careful these days. There is an accident in the Marquis of Qingyuan, and the first object of suspicion for the first emperor must be you, the emperor."
"I see."
Xuanqing nodded, now that the situation in the imperial city is becoming increasingly tense, and the Marquis of Qingyuan has suffered a catastrophe, the eyes of all forces will definitely focus on the Third Prince's Mansion.
Presumably, the two Demon Sovereigns also knew about this, and it was really troublesome that the father emperor was not here at this time.
Xuan Yu left the hall, and inside the palace, Xuan Qing stood quietly, his expression became more and more solemn.
The father emperor was trapped in the far east, and such a big event happened in the city of the three emperors. Is it really just a coincidence
In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, not long after the secret report came back, Xuanque left the Mansion and walked directly towards the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.
The news of the destruction of the Three Imperial City and the Mansion of the Marquis of Qingyuan spread quickly, all parties shook, and the entire imperial city was covered with dark clouds, making people unable to breathe.
In the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen, who single-handedly created the current situation, sat quietly in the palace and drank tea, his expression was calm, and he could not see any waves.
"His Royal Highness, the ninth prince asks to see you."
A guard walked over quickly and respectfully said.
"welcome."
Ning Chen put down the tea in his hand and said.
"Yes"
The guard took orders and turned to leave.
Not long after, the ninth prince entered the mansion and walked towards the palace.
Ning Chen got up and walked to the front of the hall to greet him.
"Brother Nine Emperors."
"Thirteenth brother, something happened."
Xuan Que stepped forward and said solemnly, "Have you received the news?"
"What's up?"
Ning Chen didn't take it seriously. "Last night, the Marquis of Qingyuan was massacred from top to bottom, and even Marquis Qingyuan was not spared. Now the Imperial Army has blocked the Marquis of Qingyuan, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. When I came, the entire imperial city was everywhere. They are all figures of the Imperial Army, presumably the emperor
The city is now under martial law. " Xuan Que said condensedly.
"Qing Yuanhou?"
Ning Chen frowned, "Isn't that someone from the eldest brother's faction? Could it be because of the third brother?"
Xuan Que's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he reprimanded softly, "Thirteenth brother, don't talk nonsense, this is a big sin, you can't say it casually."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I understand, it's only me and Brother Jiuhuang, I dare to say that, in front of outsiders, I will pay attention." Xuan Que nodded and said, "Actually, what you just said is very big. Most people's guess is that the Qingyuanhou mansion was destroyed, and the three emperors were indeed the most suspect. However, there is no absolute in everything, and it is possible that someone deliberately blamed the three emperors for this.
Wait for the annihilation of humanity. "
"If that's the case, then the person who did it is really sinister." Ning Chen smiled. Xuanque sighed softly and said, "What is the truth, no one knows now, I am here to inform the thirteenth brother, at this time, we must be careful, the matter of the Marquis of Qingyuan will inevitably cause a big shock, If you are thrown at this time
Sewage, endless troubles. "
"Brother Jiuhuang is also."
Ning Chen said sternly, "Be careful."
"Um"
Xuan Que nodded and said, "I have to go back to deal with the matter of Marquis Qingyuan, so I won't stay any longer, I will leave first."
"Brother Huang, please." Ning Chen replied.
"Thirteenth brother stay."
Xuan Que said something, and immediately walked out of the mansion.
Ning Chen looked at the back of the former leaving, the smile gradually faded from the corner of his mouth, and turned back to the hall.
In the hall, Shi Yu heard the conversation between the two, thinking of the blood and energy in his body when His Highness came back last night, the waves in his heart were surging.
"Don't make random guesses."
Ning Chen scolded with a smile and said, "The tea is a little cold, go and warm it up."
"Yes"
Shi Yu respectfully took orders, stepped forward, and took out the tea.
Outside the hall, Shi Qing looked at Shi Yu who walked out, and whispered, "Sister, did your Highness do what happened to the Marquis of Qingyuan?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Shi Yu's face sank, and he reprimanded, "Nothing happened yesterday, do you know that His Highness has never left the palace!"
Hearing the reprimand, Shi Qing was taken aback and nodded immediately, not daring to say anything more.
Inside the hall, Ning Chen looked at the scene outside the hall, smiled slightly, and didn't care.
In the imperial city, from dawn to sunset, the Imperial Army came and went, trying to search for the whereabouts of the murderer.
The tense atmosphere permeated the entire imperial city, from the dignitaries down to the common people, and everyone panicked.
In the west, the sun is setting, the sky is getting darker, and the Imperial Guards have begun to change their duty one after another.
Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, inside the main hall, Ning Chen sat quietly for a day, waiting for the sunset.
In the mansion, the lights were on, and when the sky was completely dark, Ning Chen got up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
When Shi Yu Shiqing saw this, her expressions were all startled. Is His Highness going to leave the house
"Your Highness."
Shi Qing couldn't hold back and called out.
Ning Chen stopped, turned around to look at the worried two women in front of the hall, and said with a smile, "Do something small, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After speaking, Ning Chen didn't say any more, and walked out of the house.
In the imperial city, Su Yi's figure flashed past, and the speed was extremely fast.
In the palace of Beizhen, Su Yi swept over, held a knife, and started to kill.
Blood, splashes, the guards in front of the palace did not even see the appearance of the person who came, and fell down.
After a few breaths, in the palace, the light of the sword swept across the night, and the king of the underworld took his life ruthlessly.
"boom!"
Not long after, in the palace, the hall collapsed suddenly, Su Yi walked out, dragging a knife and leaving.
"king!"
In the palace, a desolate cry rang out, resounding through the night sky.
In the imperial city, the Imperial Guard heard the movement and immediately rushed to the Beizhen Palace.
On the other side of the imperial city, Xuan Mo rushed over after receiving the report.
In the palace of the King of Beizhen, blood was flowing, and the same scene as the mansion of the Marquis of Qingyuan appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which was shocking.
The collapse of His Royal Highness, the death of the king, the stab wound that pierced his chest destroyed the life of the king.
Xuan Mo looked at the scene in front of him, his face became more and more serious, who is this person, and what is the purpose
The Marquis of Qingyuan and the King of Beizhen, although they were not considered peak powerhouses in the realm of kings, they were not the ones to be kneaded by others. Now they were killed by people without even knowing it, and they didn't even have the chance to ask for help.
Could it be that there is a powerhouse with the peak of the king shot? However, there are not many strong men at the peak of the king even in the entire Primordial Demon Realm, and none of them are in the Three Emperors City. If he enters the city, he should not be unaware at all.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo sighed softly in his heart, the Three Emperors City might be in chaos.
The First Prince's Mansion, in the main hall, Xuan Zhen's expression changed suddenly when he heard the report of the dark pile in front of the hall.
King Beizhen also had an accident
Almost at the same time, the news of the assassination of King Beizhen and the Third Prince's Mansion came to Xuanqing, and his expression changed.
Another person from the line of the eldest prince, trouble.
It was not certain before, this time, now he can be sure that someone is deliberately putting the blame on him.
In the Mansion of the Thirteenth Prince, Ning Chen quietly stood in front of the palace, looking at the turbulent situation in the imperial city, his eyes became colder and colder.
He wanted to see how long the eldest prince could sit. Even if he could sit still, it was impossible for his supporters to remain calm.
No one hopes that the next butcher's knife will fall on his head. If the first prince does not act again, the hearts of those kings and nobles will soon be scattered. However, if the eldest prince wants to make a move, the slaughtering knife must fall into the line of the third prince. As a result, the battle between the two princes will be completely heated.
