Section 898 The Black Hand in the Dark
"What did you say?"
Tang Tian was dumbfounded, he felt as if he had heard something incredible.
Melissa was extremely excited at this time, and her voice was still trembling: "Just now, the Qiu family's stronghold was raided by the Knights of Light, Qiu Yunqi was killed on the spot, Qiu Beifeng was seriously injured, and his personal guards were all wiped out. ”
"Are these guys of the Bright Knights crazy?" Tang Tian felt that this matter was really completely incomprehensible, the combat effectiveness of the Bright Knights was needless to say, he had personally experienced it. In his opinion, the annihilation of the entire Guards was normal, but on the contrary, Qiu Beifeng was only seriously injured and could escape, and his strength was not weak.
But there's no reason.
Qianhui had analyzed the current situation with him, and unless the Qiu family really didn't know how to lift, the temple had no reason to make a move against the Qiu family. The temple now needs the power of these famous families, and the Qiu family is a real top famous family, and its influence among the famous families is amazing, and Qiu Xuhua is still fighting in the Southern Alliance.
As a last resort, the temple would never make a move against the Qiu family.
Tang Tian's gaze turned to Qianhui.
Chie groaned, "When is it?"
Melissa hurriedly said, "Just last night." ”
She knew that Qianhui was the proprietress and had a respectful attitude, and she didn't dare to slack off. Those of them who followed Tang Tian were very aware of the status of the proprietress in Tang Tian's heart, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
If it is said that Tang Tian needs to be in contact for a while to understand how powerful he is, then Qianhui is as long as you get along with her for a short time, you can deeply feel her power.
A cold light flashed in Qianhui's eyes: "It must be something that happened in the temple! Send someone to inquire, this news is very important to us, no matter what costs!"
"Understood!" Melissa gritted her teeth and responded.
In Guangming Continent, it is clear to any force that the idea of figuring out the temple works more than anything else. Infiltrating the temple is naturally more difficult, but if it is related to the survival of the family, it must be done no matter how difficult it is.
Time, money, and water drops wear it.
The strength of the Mesfield family is not strong, but it has finally crossed the threshold of fame. If you want to be very influential, it is naturally impossible, but there are still one or two elders who know each other. These elders are fed with money on weekdays, but they don't need to do anything, just for this moment.
Elder Bianchi, as usual, came to the temple. But he immediately noticed the anomaly, the temple was heavily guarded, and there were guards everywhere.
The Guardians of the Temple, by a special name, are the Guardians of the Temple. Normally, the Templar Guardians could only be seen in the corners, they were almost invisible, and the elders' rhetoric was unaffected.
But today, Bianchi saw more than 200 temple guards along the way. For the first time, he knew that there were so many Guardians of the Temple.
Something must have happened.
Bianchi felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw Elder Xius not far away. He had a close relationship with Elder Hughes, and unlike him, the elder at the end of the crane, Hughes was very high in the seat, and he was a real powerful elder.
Hughes has a lot of power, and he is also co-opted by all sides, and he is very well-informed.
Bianchi walked over and lowered his voice: "What's going on?
Xiusi's face was solemn, he looked up at his surroundings, and also lowered his voice: "Something is wrong! His Highness was assassinated." ”
Bianchi's eyes widened suddenly, and the whole person stayed in place, and only came back to his senses after half a sound, and said, "How can it be...... How could it be ......"
"All the candidates for the Holy Son were arrested. Xiusi whispered, "The order of the Great Elder." ”
Bianchi was terrified, he was not stupid to become a Templar Elder. If something happens to His Royal Highness, the biggest suspicion is that these holy sons are alternative.
"How dare they?" said Bianchi's face was still incredulous.
"Only themselves, of course they don't dare. Xiusi snorted coldly, his face was full of murderous energy, and he said hatefully: "With the support of those famous families, it is naturally different." Today, the heads of several small famous families said that they hoped to elect a new holy son as soon as possible. ”
A hint of anger suddenly flashed on Bianchi's face: "Bastard!"
"These guys are just throwing stones and asking for directions. Xiusi's face also became gloomy: "Those old guys in the back are the real masterminds behind the scenes." These guys are so vicious! Pick this juncture, they have a plan!"
Bianchi was terrified, yes, didn't they know how dangerous the situation was now, didn't they know that if this war was lost, the entire Guangming Continent would be over?
"There are no eggs under the nest!" he blurted out.
"They know. After Xiusi finished speaking, he was silent, and only after a moment did he say with difficulty: "But they also know that it is probably only in this situation that the Great Elder can compromise with them. ”
Bianchi was equally silent, and Hughes was right. With the Great Elder's always strong personality, if it weren't for the current situation, he would definitely uproot these famous families and leave none of them.
Bianchi was inexplicably sad, and he suddenly had a feeling that that the mighty temple would never appear again. For some reason, this feeling is so intense. His heart was completely enveloped in sadness, and he asked with great difficulty, "What did the Great Elder say?"
Xius was silent, and only after a half-sound did he come to a faint voice: "I didn't say anything." ”
Bianchi didn't know how he got home, but as he walked out of the temple, he saw the second group of representatives of the famous family enter the temple of light.
He sat down in a chair in despair.
"Sir, there is a Mr. Benny asking to see you. The butler's voice came from outside the study.
Bianchi came back to his senses, and he knew that this Mr. Benny was from the Maysfield family. Can't even a small family like Mesfield?
With an inexplicable sigh in his heart, he said lightly: "Please let him in." ”
Melissa received the message, and when she saw it, she could hardly believe her eyes. She stumbled in like Tang Tian and Qianhui to report.
Tang Tian was also stunned when he saw the information. He had met Charles, and all along, Charles was on his blacklist. The assassination of Charles was one of the first plans he determined after discussing with Chie and Bing.
However, unexpectedly, Charles was assassinated.
Chie was much calmer, she and Charles had not met, so she did not react to the news, but immediately considered the gains and losses.
Ashin and Sima Xiao were both called in to discuss together. Ah Xin is good at strategy, while Sima Xiao is good at scheming.
"We're going to get the word out right away. ”
Ashin and Sima Xiao have very unanimous opinions, almost in unison.
"The more chaotic the situation, the more room we have to play, the more space we can maneuver, and the more opportunities we have. Sima Xiao's eyes lit up, for him, such a chaotic scene was his favorite: "We took the opportunity to kill several important people from famous families." ”
He continued: "Kill a few important people from famous families, and the famous families will definitely point the finger at the temple, and there is no room for reconciliation between the two sides, and the confrontation will only become more intense." There is no room for the Celebrity to retreat, and if they fail, will the Templar let them go, so they can only go one way to the dark, force the Templar to retreat, and force the Great Elder to surrender their rights!"
"That's a good idea!" Ashin said excitedly: "Why should I help the famous family well, the five tiger generals are the corps of the temple, will they be loyal to the temple or will they defect to the famous family? How could those legions loyal to the temple obey the orders of the famous men, and how could the famous men rest assured that so many legions would not obey their orders?"
Hearing Ashin and Sima laugh at your words and me, Tang Tian's heart was very happy. In the past, he could only rack his brains by himself when he encountered any situation. Now all of his subordinates are masters, fierce generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, oops, why are you so powerful?
It is easy to spread the news, and he and the soldiers have a heart-to-heart connection, which is extremely convenient.
Thinking that Gou Cheng Wendao had not received the news from the rear, and the news of Charles's assassination had spread all over SAARC, Gou Chengwendao's face must have been very exciting.
It's a pity that I can't see
As for camouflaging the temple and killing several important people from top famous families, Tang Tian didn't have to think about it, he had the first goal.
That's the Autumn Family, of course!
Charles's death shocked the entire Sanctuary.
The Holy Son's status in Guangming Continent was exalted, and he was regarded as an important person who would succeed the Great Elder in the future, and his death caused a sensation in the Holy Domain. Not to mention that he still died in assassination, you know, no important person in the history of the temple died in assassination. The Temple is extremely unique in how to prevent assassination, and coupled with the strict system of the Temple, there is a natural distance from the outside world, and it is even more difficult for Assassins from the outside world to infiltrate the Temple.
The only people who can assassinate Charles are the people inside the temple, or else there is collusion between the inside and outside. Equally shocking, the Temple is unique in how it controls the loyalty of its insiders.
To enter the temple, one needs to go through rounds of screening, and each round has rituals such as oaths and holy flame tests. Do not think that this is just a ritual, it is real and effective, and anyone who violates the oath will be punished very severely, and these punishments often come from the soul, and there is nowhere to escape, and the higher the higher, the greater the restraint.
As a result, there were almost never traitors in the Temple, which is why many people hated the Temple. In the eyes of many, the temple's complete control over the human body and mind is completely contrary to human nature.
But we have to admit that the temple method was extremely effective. In the midst of other forces, the temple has always been united. The orders of the top are carried out unconditionally, and their soldiers are fanatical and not afraid of sacrifice.
As a result, the outside world was filled with fear and awe of the temple, which they saw as invincible.
His Royal Highness Charles was assassinated, shattering it all.
In everyone's opinion, such an important event spread all over the Holy Domain in the blink of an eye, which was obviously the mastermind behind it.
Immediately afterwards, the contradiction between the temple and the famous gate also surfaced and became the hottest topic at the moment.
This turmoil has only just begun.
