Chapter Seventy-Five: The Crisis in the General's Palace
Huang Zhicai, as the prime minister of a country, although his force is not very strong, he still has some determination. Faced with the situation in front of him, it was obvious that he was much calmer than the rest of the ministers.
Long Aoyu also set his eyes on Huang Zhicai, but there was a flickering cold light in his seemingly soft gaze, and the threat could not be more obvious.
Huang Zhicai took a deep breath, a little glad in his heart, fortunately, his son Huang Weiguo had gone to Beiling Academy.
Huang Zhi only knew that now he didn't express his position, but he couldn't, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, how about holding a formal succession ceremony? ”
Long Aoyu's eyes flickered, obviously what Huang Zhicai said made him a little moved, no matter what, he didn't want to bear the infamy of killing his father and usurping the throne.
"Huang Zhicai, you cowardly villain!" Qiu Nan is fiery temper, as the generalissimo of the Fengyun Empire, he is only loyal to Long Zhentian.
Huang Zhicai smiled bitterly: "Generalissimo, in the current situation, I have no choice. ”
Huang Zhicai only knew that Long Zhentian's biggest reliance was that second-level inscription master Ning Fengyu, and now that Ning Fengyu had been killed, he couldn't think of anything else that Long Zhentian could fight against Long Aoyu.
Qiu Nan wanted to scold, but Long Zhentian clasped his shoulders, and then stood side by side with Qiu Nan, there was not much panic in his expression, and he said slowly: "Aoyu, you want this throne so much?"
Long Aoyu's gaze when he looked at the dragon chair was full of fiery, and his coveted gaze was undisguised, "Father, I have been better than my eldest brother since I was a child, I don't understand why you still make him the crown prince!"
Long Zhentian shook his head and sighed, his second son was too competitive and competitive, from the time Long Aoyu was very young, Long Zhentian saw that Long Aoyu was quite ambitious, so he turned to Long Aoxiang as the prince.
He just hoped that Long Aoyu could restrain his ambitions, but he didn't want to cause today's situation, and it also led to Ning Fengyu being killed.
"Aoyu, it's too late for you to turn back now!" Long Zhentian advised.
Long Aoyu smiled arrogantly and said, "Father, I don't know why you can still be so indifferent now, if you rely on those Praetorian Guards, I'm afraid I will disappoint you, they have all taken refuge in me!"
"Great Commander!" Long Aoyu shouted.
A sassy and heroic man strode in and knelt down in front of Long Aoyu, "Scream Second Prince!"
The Grand Commander turned his gaze to Long Zhentian again, and said a little apologetically: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the second prince has saved my life. ”
Long Zhentian finally sighed helplessly, if the Praetorian Guards were all controlled by Long Aoyu, this imperial city would probably be under Long Aoyu's control.
"You traitors, I'll kill you!" Qiu Nan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the momentum of the Xuan Ling Realm exploded in full force, and a strong aura erupted from the pores of his body.
Qiu Nan bent his knees suddenly, and his body shot at Long Aoyu like an arrow from the string, and in the current situation, as long as he killed Long Aoyu, he could solve the problem.
Long Aoyu was not flustered, the corners of his mouth set off a mocking arc, and he didn't take Qiu Nan of the Xuanling Realm in his eyes at all.
Qiu Nan's sharp fist was getting closer and closer to Long Aoyu.
"Kill it!"
Long Aoyu let out a faint sound, and in the next moment, Qiu Nan's pupils shrank, and he looked at his chest in disbelief, his heart had been pierced by a long sword.
The spiritual power on Qiu Nan's body dissipated instantly, and the fist hung weakly a foot away from Long Aoyu's chest, and then his body fell heavily to the ground, he had lost his breath, and his eyes were still round in disbelief.
The shadow drew his sword expressionlessly, moved slightly, and disappeared into the main hall.
The ghostly murderous method of the shadow made the scalp of the ministers tingle, which was simply murderous and invisible, making the ministers feel as if they had a sharp sword hanging over their heads.
"Your Majesty, I think I'll pass the throne to the second prince. ”
"I believe that under the leadership of the second prince, the Fengyun Empire will be more prosperous. ”
One after another, ministers began to stand on Long Aoyu's side, as officials of a country, choosing to take sides is what they are best at.
Long Zhentian looked at Ning Fengyu, who was in a different place, and shifted his gaze to Qiu Nan, who was not blind, which made Long Zhentian's eyes burst into tears, these two people were his closest people, he sat on this throne, and both of them made great contributions to him, but now, they were killed one after another in front of him.
Long Zhentian puffed up his chest and said, "You better kill me, I won't pass the throne to you!"
Long Aoyu's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that in the current situation, Long Zhentian still wouldn't give him the throne, a trace of viciousness flashed in Long Aoyu's eyes, since this is the case, what if he was saddled with the infamy of killing his father and usurping the throne.
"Shadow, kill him for me!"
Long Zhentian slowly closed his eyes.
For a long time, Long Zhentian didn't feel anything unusual, he slowly opened his eyes, only to see a long figure standing in front of him, and the killer shadow also flew out upside down, hitting the pillar heavily.
The waist-thick pillar was cracked by the impact.
"Zhentian has seen the Old Ancestor!" Long Zhentian said respectfully, he didn't expect that he would alarm the Old Ancestor.
Long Xiao stood in front of Long Zhentian, he didn't exude any might, he just glanced at it lightly, and the ministers who were watching him all lowered their heads, they didn't expect that the ancestor of the Fengyun Empire was still alive.
"Little guy, I don't care if you want to usurp the throne, but you can't hurt the royal family, and now what you have done has threatened the safety of the Long family!" Long Xiao's voice was not loud, but it was quite majestic.
After all, the ghostly shadow killer is vulnerable in front of him.
When Long Aoyu saw Long Xiao who suddenly appeared, he was only momentarily surprised, and then returned to normal, and Long Xiao's appearance did not shock him too much.
"Ancestor, you are also going to prevent me from ascending to the throne!"
Long Xiao said in a deep voice: "The Fengyun Empire can't be handed over to a ruthless junior like you, today, I will take out your rebellious junior!"
The heavy pale yellow spiritual power shuttled between Long Xiao's fingers, and I saw him clenching his five fingers and punching Long Aoyu in the air.
The spiritual power fist seal imprinted towards Long Aoyu with a strong qi, and the strong man of the Earth Spirit Realm struck a blow, if Long Aoyu, a martial artist of the Yellow Spirit Realm, was hit, he would definitely die.
Long Aoyu was a little shocked, he felt the breath of death from the printed fist prints, and in fright, Long Aoyu shouted for help: "Elder Zhou save me!"
A figure appeared in front of Long Aoyu with the sound of breaking wind, but with a wave of his robe, Long Xiao's powerful blow was lightly blocked.
Long Xiao frowned, he didn't expect Long Aoyu to have the help of a powerhouse in the Earth Spirit Realm.
"Who is Your Excellency, actually interfering in the affairs of the Fengyun Empire?" Long Xiao felt a dangerous aura from the black-robed man in front of him.
"We made a deal with this little guy, so we're going to help him get to the throne. The black-robed man's voice was a little hoarse, but it was full of pride, as if he didn't take Long Xiao, a powerhouse of the Earth Spirit Realm, in his eyes at all.
"Long Aoyu, you actually colluded with outsiders to seize the throne?" Long Zhentian was furious in his heart, he didn't expect Long Aoyu to do such a thing for the sake of the throne.
"If you want to help him, it depends on whether Your Excellency has the ability!" Long Xiao's body quickly swept out of the main hall and rushed into the air.
The black-robed man moved, and he also went out.
Long Xiao knew that the battle between the powerhouses of the Earth Spirit Realm was too terrifying, and the spiritual impact was enough to destroy the palace, so Long Xiao chose to fight the black-robed man in the air.
Long Aoyu, Long Zhentian and the others all walked out of the main hall and looked up at the sky, they all knew that the final victory of the battle in the sky would determine the final winner.
Although they couldn't see the battle in the sky, the fluctuations that came from the sky terrified their hearts.
After an hour, the movement in the sky became smaller and smaller, and finally any fluctuations disappeared, and the people on the ground knew that the battle had been decided, and they were all staring intently above the clouds.
After a while, I saw a black-robed man slowly falling, the black robe on his body was somewhat damaged, Long Aoyu was overjoyed, he didn't see Long Xiao's figure, which meant that the black-robed man had won.
"That Long Xiao ran away, but he was also seriously injured and could not pose a threat to you! ”
"Elder Zhou, don't worry, you go back to the house to rest first, and you will definitely send people tomorrow!"
The black-robed man nodded, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
As soon as the black-robed man left, everyone felt that the pressure was light, and such a strong man, even if he didn't do anything, stood there, he had a huge sense of oppression.
Long Aoyu looked back at Long Zhentian and said slowly: "Father, in the end, I won." ”
Long Zhentian sighed and said, "If you want to kill, kill it!"
"Grand Commander, invite my father to the palace to rest, don't take half a step, wait for ten days, and hold the enthronement ceremony!" Long Aoyu's heart was full of pride, he was finally going to get the throne of his dreams.
The Grand Commander sent someone to escort Long Zhentian away.
The ministers headed by Huang Zhicai all knelt down to Long Aoyu and said respectfully: "The ministers see Your Majesty!"
Long Aoyu nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Get up!" Huang Zhicai, you go and draw up a holy decree, just say that Yi Zhantian has the intention of rebellion on the border, remove the position of the general, and detain all those people in the general's mansion!"
Huang Zhicai took the order and left, and now he can't refute anything at all.
Long Aoyu returned to the main hall and sat on the dragon chair, full of excitement, this chair, he dreamed of sitting on it.
"Lord Zhang, you just say that it is my father's will to cancel the marriage contract between Yi Feng and Lianmeng, and marry Princess Lianmeng to Mu Xingkong of the Purple Cloud Empire, and the two countries will marry and never go to war. ”
Long Aoyu sat on the dragon chair, and ordered one command after another, and the feeling of being high above made Long Aoyu enjoy it very much.
In the General's Mansion, Lan Mengyu was chatting with Huangpu Xiaoyue, when someone suddenly came to report, looking quite flustered, "Mrs. Qiyu, the Praetorian Guards have surrounded the General's Mansion, and, and ......"
"And what?" said Huangpu Xiaoyue, frowning slightly.
"And the emperor said that the general rebelled on the border!"
"This is impossible!" Huangpu Xiaoyue understands Yi Zhantian, to say that anyone in the Fengyun Empire can oppose it, to say that Yi Zhantian will oppose it, it is absolutely impossible, because she knows that Yi Zhantian has no ambition.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard directly led people to rush into the general's mansion, arrested all the people in the front yard, he walked through the front yard to the hall, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yi, let's go with us!"
