There are many things to look into.

First, why did these Assassins carry out the assassination at this banquet, did they organize it, or rather, who sent them?

Second, how did they get in? Why do you all have sharp blades on your body? Didn't the guards search them? Why did the person in charge of the guard be so negligent, and what was the reason?

Wait a minute......

The guards cleaned up the bodies of these assassins, and then quickly performed their duties to investigate, this matter is too big, it is far from enough for these guards to investigate, there must be a special task department, as well as special manpower to investigate this matter, and this matter, can not be hidden from His Majesty Charles XVI, the emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, must sort out a general eyebrow before he gets the news, and then strengthen the security in the palace to avoid such a thing from happening again.

Anyway, there are a lot of things, everyone knows that such a big thing, if you want to find out a lot, it will definitely not be the result of a while.

However, less than ten minutes later, an unexpected result was sent.

The person in charge of guarding outside the door today and checking the guests is the second squad of the Royal Guard.

There were eight people in total. And just when this matter spread and was about to be interrogated, these eight people, like those assassins, actually committed suicide en masse!

Another collective suicide without hesitation!

At this moment, the seriousness of the matter has been raised to another level.

These guards of the Royal Guard, each of them have undergone strict screening and careful selection when they enter the palace, and they must be guaranteed to be pure Bauhinia Empire blood, and the ancestors have no bad criminal records for four generations, and they must be the most authentic little nobles or a small rich family with a good reputation......

And after becoming a soldier of the Royal Guard, who is responsible for the security of the royal family, the personal income of these soldiers is also quite considerable, not to mention what they want, but their lives are absolutely worry-free, they want to have an identity, they want to have an income, and it is almost impossible to be bought at a high price...... It can be said that these people should all have no desires and no desires.

However, they actually bought a whole team of people...... Well, it must have been bought, otherwise, how could it be that before the investigation began, a whole team of people committed mass suicide, and there was no proof of death?

And...... The more people think about it, the more terrifying it is that they are so determined and determined to commit suicide, if they don't get a huge benefit that allows them to make up their minds so determined, they will definitely not do this kind of brain-dead behavior.

Life is priceless for anyone, it is the supreme thing, and one thing that can make people give up their lives so simply and then accomplish their goals, needless to say, must be a huge benefit that makes people's hearts beat even when they think about it.

With their deaths, all the clues were cut off at once, and they fell into a state of cluelessness, but after everyone present calmed down, they all wondered who was behind this could give them great benefits and make these guards and assassins die without hesitation.

Also, in this hall, in the palace, in **, is there such a group of people who are willing to die like them, and there are no of their comrades.

If anything, it's simply terrible.

These royal guards, who guard the security of the palace every day, can be called the most loyal armed force in the palace, and even they can rebel and openly assassinate the prince in public, so ...... Everyone, who else can be trusted?

Everyone, looking at each other, looked at each other with suspicion and anxiety.

The Grand Prince can be assassinated.

Is it just the Great Prince?

The black hand hiding behind the scenes, is there His Majesty Charles XVI, the emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, among the targets he wants to kill?

No one can tell!

And at this time, if there is anyone in the hall who is the most suspicious, then, without a doubt, it is Carter, the envoy of the Byron Empire.

This kid, in the whole hall, only he, and his subordinates, are outsiders.

Moreover, the contradiction between the Byron Empire and the Bauhinia Empire is well known to everyone, and the devil knows if they will want to kill the eldest prince Powell, thereby causing chaos in the Bauhinia Empire, and then take this opportunity to send troops south and smash Huanglong.

Smack.

The old baron Hilbert slammed the wine glass on the table, and the first one stood up, with a look of righteous indignation, pointed at Carter, and said, "You abominable Byronic people, say, did you send these assassins?" ”

"Isn't it you?"

"Say!"

With him taking the lead, almost all the nobles at the banquet, big and small, stood up, with angry flames in their eyes, and pointed the finger at Carter.

Carter was stunned for a moment, and then, unhurriedly, he actually laughed out loud.

"What? I sent those assassins? He laughed and said, "Is this the wisdom of your Bauhinia Empire nobles?" Hmph, what are you kidding? Don't forget, those assassins, both in appearance and dress, are the people of your Bauhinia Empire, and those guards who committed suicide later are even the guards of your Bauhinia Empire's royal guards, I've only been here for a few days? Do I have that much energy? Can they all die for me? All right...... This is your territory, and if you must use me as a scapegoat, I have nothing to say, so you can do whatever you want. ”

“……”

All of a sudden, everyone was speechless.

Yes, because of the excitement, my brain is a little confused.

These assassins, as well as the suicidal guards, seemed to have nothing to do with the Byronic envoy in any way.

This kid of the Byron Empire, even if he has great ability, it is impossible for him to collude with such a large number of people who want to die to serve him in such a short period of time, and they have such great energy. Absolutely nothing.

Or are those people the hidden stakes of the Byron Empire that have been in ambush in the palace for a long time?

These are not right, if this is the case, they absolutely do not need to make a move on this occasion today, whether they succeed or not will be put aside first, the key is that they do not need to put the envoy of the Byron Empire into it......

Damn, what the hell is going on?

These reasons are obviously unreasonable, these nobles have nothing to say, and Du Ang has been standing in his position for this time without moving, he heard the whispers of Carter and his men outside the door just now, and from this level, he is definitely not the mastermind of this assassination.

At the previous critical moment, Du Ang had no time to rescue, so he had to throw a transfiguration technique and turn the nearest assassin into a sheep, which narrowly resolved this crisis that was enough to cause a huge shock in the Bauhinia Empire, and after that, against those ordinary assassins, Du Ang never made a move, because those guards had already reacted, this was their responsibility, and Du Ang did not need to overstep.

During this time, Duang has been thinking.

Man, as intelligent animals, does everything with a purpose.

And - benefits!

Without enough interests, no one will do such a big thing, it is purely full of food and support.

In other words, this mastermind behind the scenes, this murderer hidden in the dark, if the eldest prince Powell is assassinated, he will definitely get some kind of benefit and advantage from it, and this benefit will not be a small benefit of needles and threads, but must be a huge benefit, which can make him desperate and choose to assassinate the eldest prince Powell on such a public occasion.

Huge benefits......

Huge benefits......

People who can get such benefits and benefits...... Suddenly, Du Ang's heart moved, and a figure of a person appeared in Du Ang's mind.

The reason why the eldest prince Powell is important is because he is the eldest prince of the Bauhinia Empire, the crown prince, and the next emperor heir, if he dies, then, this heir to the throne does not exist, and there will be a vacuum in the position of the crown prince.

And there is only one person who can fill this gap without any reservation and fill it, and that is - the second prince Karaze!

Oh, my God!

When this thought appeared in Du Ang's mind, Du Ang's whole body was almost messy.

Really?

If it is him, then, does this mean the beginning of a struggle for the throne in the royal family? Look at the suicide of the assassins and guards, this premeditated plan will definitely not be a matter of a day or two, maybe it has been premeditated for many years.

Perhaps, on the surface, Karaze's uninhibited appearance of not asking for the throne is all pretended, and he has long been secretly brewing his own power, like a lightning bolt, has been hidden in the dark clouds, rolling, boiling, waiting for the time to come, he will fall from the sky, and deal a fatal blow to the eldest prince Powell with lightning speed.

Well, well, if it's really him...... Du Ang wiped the cold sweat on his head, the competition between the two brothers is a matter between their two brothers, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the throne cannot fall on Du Ang's head, and Du Ang doesn't want to mix with them. But...... It's so good that just now, just when the assassin was about to succeed, Du Ang made a move and pulled the eldest prince Powell back from the death line.

There are no reasons, no promises, no guarantees.

Duon is so confused - standing in line!

Because of this move, he was labeled as the Great Prince Powell and became the person of the Great Prince Powell!

No way!

Wrong! I didn't mean that!

Duang really wants to cry now, and feels very wronged.

He has no intention of getting involved in this political whirlpool at all, and has always wanted to be outside the world, and just because of that moment just now, he is very likely to be regarded as a loyal fan of the eldest prince Powell by the second prince Kaladze.

Even if he doesn't have this kind of thought, it is estimated that he must be very tired of himself in his heart!

"Since you're not one of his, you made a fuss just now? What the hell is going on with you? ”

It's been brewing for so long, and it's about to succeed, but it turns out to be messed up by Duang so suddenly......

If this matter was really planned by the second prince Kaladze, it would be difficult for him not to hate Duang.

All right...... can only hope that the mastermind behind this matter is not the second prince Kaladze.

Really, I can only comfort myself with this method of spiritual victory.

Maybe it's the political enemy of the eldest prince Powell!

Maybe it's the rival of the eldest prince Powell!

Maybe it's because the eldest prince Powell and his wife are not in harmony......

Du Ang really didn't know what evil he had hit today.

"Duang, come here!"

Du Ang was chattering here when suddenly, the eldest prince Powell beckoned to him.

For the first time, Duang was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not react, but it was Baron Lawrence who pushed him, and Duang understood what was going on: "Call you!" ”

"Oh!"

Duang was apprehensive and walked over.

As soon as he walked over, the eldest prince Powell gave Du Ang the warmest hug in front of everyone: "Thank you, if you hadn't made a timely move just now, I'm afraid I would no longer be able to stand here and talk." Well done, Duon, you saved my life! ”

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay! The smile on Duang's face froze.

The eldest prince Powell said a few more kind words, then turned around, patted Duang's shoulder, and said to Carter beside him: "Formally introduce, this, Duang?" McNuss is the only son of my poor dear friend Earl McNuss, and in a few days he will officially inherit the title of Earl...... Oh, don't look at his age, but he's a real magician, Lord Carter, that magic just now is his masterpiece! ”

I don't know if I drank too much alcohol before, or if I was scared by the assassins, Powell talked a lot today, although Du Ang couldn't say anything on his lips, but it was inevitable that he would chirp crookedly in his heart.

"I'll save you, just thank me, why do you have to introduce him in such detail? When my father was alive, he was stationed on the frontier, and it was their Byron Empire that was guarded, and the two sides have been facing each other for so many years, it is estimated that they have long been tired of my father, although they are not enemies, but they are similar to enemies...... Well, you threw me out yourself, what do you mean? Tell this kid that this is the son of your Byron Empire's enemy, and if you want to take revenge in the future, you will find him? No way...... Comrade Powell, you are also a big prince, and you have always been a very cautious person, why are you so out of shape today? Were you stupid by the assassins just now? ”

Du Ang is reluctant in his heart, with his surname, it is best for everyone not to know who he is, try to be incognito, do not show his head if he can, do not squeak if he can, be a low-key person, and do things in a low-key manner, so as not to encounter the embarrassment that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, so that he will not be recognized when he is watching the excitement.

The boss behind the scenes, the enthusiastic audience, this is Du Ang's ideal, the feeling of being thrown into the spotlight, Du Ang doesn't like ...... MB's, it's all baked to death, and it's not comfortable at all.

But there is no way, no matter how unwilling Du Ang is, the eldest prince has already said this, and there is no way to recycle it. Du Ang had no choice but to force a smile and greet Carter with a blank head: "Hello, I'm Du Ang." ”

Carter first looked Du Ang up and down a few times, in fact, when he raised the bar with the nobles below just now, he had already noticed Du Ang, first, the clothes on Du Ang's body were more special, and the second was that at that time, almost all the nobles stood up and accused Carter, and only Du Ang sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and had no intention of standing up at all. He looks like a wise man with confidence.

Just now, because the matter was more urgent, Carter didn't see who made the transfiguration, but now when he heard what the eldest prince Powell said, he knew that it was this kid who dared to act in times of crisis and use magic to save Powell's life...... Du Ang himself didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he was listed by Carter as a key watch list of the Bauhinia Empire, and became a dangerous opponent in Carter's heart, both civil and military.

No matter what Carter thought in his heart, the expression on his face and the gesture he made were still very impeccable. He took off the hat from his head, stroked his chest with one hand, and bowed deeply to Duon, performing the most honorable courtesy of the Byronic Empire.

"Dear Duang? Please accept my sincerest thanks, Lord McNuss......"

Halfway through his words, he was stopped by Du Ang: "Wait a minute, Your Excellency Carter, what are you thanking me for?" Where do you start with that? ”

"No, thank you!" Carter had a sincere expression on his face: "Although the assassin just now was running for His Royal Highness the Great Prince, but we are very close, if it weren't for your timely action, maybe I would have been injured and even killed, from this point of view, you not only saved His Royal Highness, but also saved me, and you are my savior." Oh...... It's just a courtesy, it's too light, it doesn't express all my gratitude, if you have the chance, you are welcome to be a guest of our Byron Empire, I can guarantee that you will be the most honored guest of our Byron Empire. ”

With that, he bowed down again and saluted Duang.

"Forehead ......"

Since everything has been said and done, Du Ang has nothing to say, so he has to stand so stupidly and bear it.

They were talking at the top, but there was a lot of chaos below, and there was no way for the banquet to continue because of such a big thing, and the guards pouring in from outside occupied almost every corner of the hall.

And at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "What the hell is going on?" What do you eat? Damn, you don't want to live, do you? There were so many people that the Assassins had been allowed to sneak in from the outside...... Miller, you ......" snapped, the man couldn't help but say, and as soon as he raised his hand, he gave Miller a resounding slap: "You owe me an explanation!" ”

The second prince, Karadze, came...... (To be continued.) )
