The time will soon come. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The 20,000 troops led by the prince had successfully entered the palace, occupying almost half of the palace, and the prince came to the door of the dwarf king's bedchamber first.
The prince took a deep look at the palace gate and was about to enter it, but was stopped by the guards guarding the palace gate.
"Your Royal Highness, please stay, the king has rested, if anything happens, please come back tomorrow." The guard bowed to the prince and said.
was stopped by the guards, but the prince was slightly startled.
It stands to reason that in the palace, except for the guards, no one has the right to bring weapons into the palace, and if someone brings troops to the palace, then the guards will report to the dwarf king as soon as possible or even in advance, and someone intends to rebel.
And at this moment, the prince was dressed in armor, and there was a group of soldiers behind him, this guard was so calm and polite to persuade the prince to leave, this cannot but be said to be a little suspicious.
The prince looked at the guard carefully and asked, "Isn't it strange that I entered the palace with an army of 20,000 men and came straight to my father's bedchamber?"
The guard leaned over and said: "His Royal Highness the prince is the status of the prince, and it is normal to enter the palace at any time, and the subordinates will definitely not dare to suspect that the prince has the intention of rebellion." ”
The prince nodded slightly, but the eyes of the guards were sharper, and said: "Tonight is not an ordinary night, I got the news that someone intends to assassinate my father, so I brought troops to the king of Qin to escort him, and I will go in now to report to my father and remind my father to be careful." ”
As he spoke, the prince was about to take a step into the palace, but the guard stopped the prince again and said, "Your Highness, the king has rested, please don't disturb the king."
"Presumptuous!" the prince suddenly shouted angrily, "I am the prince, the prince of the dignified prince, can't I even enter my father's bedroom?"
The guard's attitude was still very resolute: "The subordinates have already said that the king has rested, please don't disturb the king!"
According to the past habits, the dwarf king almost never slept before the child, and in addition to the review and review, there is also the expansion of the branches and leaves of the descendants, so at this moment the guard actually said that the dwarf king has slept, which is really a little suspicious.
The prince looked at the guard carefully again, and the look of doubt in his eyes was thick, and then he suddenly asked, "Isn't it time for the little king to be on duty tonight? Why are you here?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then said a little vaguely: "Xiao Wang has something to do today, let his subordinates be on duty for him." ”
"Hmph!" the prince suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said angrily, "There is no such person as Xiao Wang at all, I just deceived you a little, and you really showed your feet!
The guard was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, I heard only a voice coming from not far away, it was a man's voice: "It was the queen who sent him, the original guards here have been temporarily replaced, and all the guards at this moment are the queen's people." ”
The prince immediately turned his head to look, and saw a man floating in front of the guard, this man was dressed in black, lean, and strangely enough, his whole face was covered with a thick black cloth, and even his eyes were not exposed.
This person is none other than Liang Jian.
The prince obviously hadn't seen Liang Jian, but he heard some rumors, it was said that the former Janissary Commander Lu Feng had rescued a blind soul cultivator on the mainland, Lu Feng originally wanted to recommend it to the dwarf king, but this person was cold and arrogant, and refused to serve the dwarf royal court, so he had been living in seclusion in Lu Feng's residence.
And the person in front of him at this moment should be the soul cultivator. However, the prince felt an unusual aura from this person, it was by no means an ordinary soul cultivation aura, but something similar to Xiao Zhang's soul slaying knife technique.
"Who are you?" asked the prince, though he had already guessed the man's approximate identity.
Liang Jian said lightly: "You don't care who I am, anyway, as long as I am here, you don't want to enter the dwarf king's bedroom." ”
The prince suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "What a big breath! Don't you see the 20,000 male soldiers behind me? You are alone, and it is too self-conscious to try to stop me, right?"
Liang Jian didn't answer, but waved his hand lightly, and suddenly, I saw a large number of soldiers pouring out behind the dwarf king's bedroom, and there were 20,000 of them, and all of them were solid in armor and bright in weapons.
When the prince saw this, he immediately understood that these soldiers were obviously the army of the general's cronies, so after the general's death, these soldiers should be the queen's cronies.
It's just that how could this Liang Jian have such power and be able to lead the queen's army of cronies?
In fact, before entering the palace, the prince had been guessing who the queen would send to lead the army, and at this moment, the prince never imagined that the person the queen relied on would be this Liang Jian!
As for why Liang Jian took refuge in the queen's men, it was because Liang Jian couldn't bear Lu Feng's stupidity, so he acted alone and took the initiative to sneak into the palace to get close to the queen, but the queen took a fancy to Liang Jian at a glance, just because of the special aura on Liang Jian's body, the breath of the soul slaughtering knife technique.
The prince showed a cold smile: "I said why don't you accept the reuse of your father, it turns out that you are the same party as the queen's traitor, it seems that I came to the right place tonight, and sure enough, someone wants to rebel!
With that, the prince waved his dwarf long knife and rushed towards Liang Jian, and at the same time cast the dwarf concealment technique, his body and aura were completely hidden, and he had already killed Liang Jian like lightning.
Previously, the prince hated his half-race status and hated the dwarf king for giving him this sinful life, so he refused to practice the dwarf hidden arts. But after Xiao Zhang's persuasion, if you want to achieve great things, you have to do whatever it takes, what can you do if you practice the dwarf hidden technique?
The prince took Xiao Zhang's suggestion and immediately began to practice the dwarf hidden art, because he originally had the blood of the dwarf tribe in his body, coupled with his talent and intelligence, and the accumulation of dwarf hidden art since he was a child, it only took a few days for him to cultivate successfully, and he had reached the realm of fifty percent.
At this moment, the prince hid his body and aura and rushed hard, if he was an ordinary ninefold realm soul cultivator, he would probably be at a loss, because he couldn't feel any breath at all, so he could only sit and wait.
However, Liang Jian is different, he has the Soul Slayer Sword Technique. Although it was a fake, the basic ability of the Soul Slayer Sword Technique was still there, and although his perception was not as good as Xiao Zhang's, he could still feel the vague outline of the prince's body.
