"Repeat, all city lords and guards are requested to return to the Xuanqing Palace immediately! Those who do not return within an hour, if there is no special reason, will be dealt with as treason! Others are not allowed to make noise, and the fireworks conference is going on normally! Get out of the way, the people in front Don't get in the way!!"
The soldiers naturally couldn't tell who was the lord of the city and who was not, so they just galloped past and yelled at the same time.
—Conspiracy.
When these two words came to my ears, I frowned slightly.
In my impression, whenever these two words are mentioned, nothing good will happen next. And if such a heavy word is applied to the city lord, the dog king may not be really crazy. Doubting and detaining the city lord for no reason is definitely an important reason for the various territories to raise troops in the future. Or did he make up his mind and prepare for the war, planning to wipe out the most promising heirs of each territory first? Isn't this courting death
Bai Huang looked at me with doubts in his eyes:
"Little, what happened?"
I shook my head:
"I don't know. You have to see the king to understand why he gave such a strange order."
Bai Huang glanced at the fireworks in the sky reluctantly, and asked me:
"Then shall we go back?"
He Ji was afraid that Bai Huang would disobey the king's order again, so he hurriedly said:
"Go back, miss. Once you really get hooked with conspiracy, the situation will be very difficult."
Bai Huang retorted angrily:
"We haven't done anything bad, so it's okay to watch the fireworks? If we don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, why should we be guilty! Lide, don't you think so?"
I reckon Miss Bai Huang's temper has come up, and ordinary methods can't persuade her, so I said:
"Yes. But this matter is somewhat strange. There may be some changes in the palace. If you are not here, I am afraid that the turbulent scene will not be able to cope with the turbulent scene."
"Oh, so..."
Bai Huang nodded and continued:
"Then there is no other way. Since Li De has said so, I, Baihuang, will forcefully pull myself together and exert 1% of my skill, and then I will show you my ability to reduce ten times with one force. Let's go, We're going back!"
Heji heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.
I also took Alaya and Bai Huang back with them.
When the four of them arrived at the Xuanqing Palace, the weird atmosphere almost hit their faces. None of the city lords stayed in the room, and all stood in the corridor. Some gathered in the center of the corridor, and some leaned against the wall of the corridor, discussing some things with each other. But after Bai Huang and I came, everyone's eyes focused on the two of us at once, and after a few seconds, they looked away again and started to discuss something.
The imperial guards surrounded the Xuanqing Palace, allowing entry and no exit. But so far, there hasn't been any clear conflict between the city lord's side and the lackeys of the royal family, and the imperial guards are also very tolerant.
It was not until midnight that the news came.
At that time, Bai Huang and I were playing backgammon in the room with the mentality of what comes and goes. Bai Huang was a little restless, lost three games in a row, and angrily hit my head with a pillow. Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Alaiya went to open the door, and found Fangyuan standing at the door, looking at me anxiously.
Seeing that I was playing chess with Bai Huang, Fang Yuan stomped her feet impatiently. The chubby body wanted to pounce in, but Heji stopped him mercilessly. Fangyuan put his fat hand on Heji's arm and shouted to me:
"Boss, boss! Oops... you still want to play chess? Something happened, something happened!"
I smiled and asked:
"What's the big deal?"
Fangyuan said anxiously:
"There is news from outside that His Majesty the King has been assassinated and is dying now! The imperial doctor is still saving, but His Majesty the King has already woken up and ordered to investigate the murderer immediately. If they can't be found, all the people below will lose their heads! Kaiya, Nuo Lun, and your eldest brother Li Yi took the opportunity to pour dirty water on your head, saying everywhere that you had a problem with His Majesty the King, and that you must have something to do with this assassination. Now many city lords believe it and say I am asking those guards to arrest you and return them innocent!"
Baihuang jumped off the bed with a carp, stomped angrily:
"Damn it, is this something people do? Lide should be blamed for co-authoring, right? Get out of the way, I, Baihuang, will go to them to settle the score. I was in a hurry to get rid of the blame at the first time, and those people are not good people." !"
My attention was not on the second half of the sentence at all, but I was shocked by the first sentence.
Assassinated king? Dying
Who did it, Qingyun
The Jinyiwei masters around the king are all above the ninth level, and such a configuration can directly wipe out the king's capital. Besides Qingyun, who can assassinate the king in the hands of so many people
I didn't have too long to react, and after only a few seconds, there was the sound of iron armor rubbing outside. The sound of numerous footsteps echoed repeatedly in the corridor, and many people rushed in at the door, all in iron armor, just like the imperial army. There was no friendliness in their eyes, and they pointed their guns at us as soon as they met.
Afterwards, the forbidden army stepped aside, and a somewhat familiar figure walked in slowly.
It was the commander of the imperial army who had met once during the banquet. At this moment he stood before us and asked aloud:
"Which one is Lid?"
Like a primary school student raising his hand to answer a question, Li Yi's figure appeared from behind the commander of the imperial army, pointed at me and said loudly:
"That man! That man is the murderer who assassinated the king!"
… You are a little genius.
I was too lazy to look at Liyi, but looked at the commander of the imperial guards and asked:
"I'm Lid, what's the matter?"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard stared into my eyes without any emotion, and replied:
"We have received a report that you are suspected of assassinating His Majesty the King. There is no evidence for this matter, but the situation is urgent. I hope you can cooperate with our investigation. If it is found out that you were wronged afterwards, the Imperial Guard will apologize to you .”
I also stared into his eyes and said word by word:
"Investigation is fine, but I want to see His Majesty. According to the laws of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, to imprison the city lords of other territories requires His Majesty's king's order card, otherwise the city lord has the right to submit a statement to His Majesty face to face."
The commander of the Imperial Guard frowned and said:
"It's not that I won't take you to see His Majesty, but now... no one can see His Majesty."
Fuck, is the dog king dead? ?
The commander of the Imperial Guard obviously noticed the shocked and slightly delighted expression on my face, wondering if he guessed what I was thinking, and patiently explained:
"The royal palace is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall. The outer hall includes many types. For example, the Xuanqing Hall is one of the outer halls. It is specially used for receiving guests, so several people can come and go freely. But the inner hall is similar to a bedroom, except for His Majesty. No one is allowed to enter or leave except for the queen, the queen, the concubines, the princes and princesses. The imperial guards can only wait outside, and the royal guards are not allowed to approach unless there are special circumstances. Now your majesty stays in the inner hall, let us find the murderer, unless this is done Request, otherwise I have no right to take you in to meet His Majesty."
