Chapter 942: Duel
The Holy Light Festival went much smoother than expected, for three days, except for a small-scale safety accident, nothing happened in the entire venue, and Long Yu was happy and stable, but behind this prosperous festival, there was already a storm in secret.
The death of Libeiqi did not weaken the impact because of the passage of time, but developed to a worse edge after three days of fruitless investigation, the entire Libeiqi family has pointed the finger at the Holy King, and behind this, there are many nobles who are fueling the troubles, and no one needs to come out to deliberately organize, an anti-political alliance that has been secretly connected quickly stood up, and the power of this alliance is far beyond the imagination of the Holy King.
The House of Elders, the House of Representatives, and the lords of all regions outside the Holy City, plus the only Duke Andory, collectively submitted to the Holy King a question about the inexplicable death of Earl Liqi, and the specific content of the question is not much to say, and this overall expression has only one meaning, no matter who betrays the poisonous hand to the inside, it reflects the security problem of the Holy City.
And as the imperial capital where the Holy King sits, the primary person in charge of such vicious security problems is the Holy King sitting on the throne of the palace, maybe such a scene is extremely absurd on the Tianlu Continent, but here in the High Elves, the nobles have the right to oppose the monarch through the House of Elders and the House of Lords, and when this opposition reaches a certain level, it can even open the election mode to replace the election, that is, if the situation continues to develop, then the result in exchange is that the House and the House of Elders start the procedure, so as to artificially remove the Holy King.
The situation faced by the Holy King was much more dire than he had previously thought, and he had never cared about the House of Representatives and the House of Elders, the two super-powerful departments of the founding of the state, which had been reactivated by the family of the Holy King after repeated abolitions.
In the eyes of the Holy King, he had never taken this group of old men and idle people from all walks of life into his eyes, in this holy city, he could suppress them with a single order, but he never thought that the fake public opinion department he used to earn prestige had become two sharp knives that could be inserted into his heart at any time with the support of various nobles.
Whether it is calculating Fidel or calculating the Libeiqi family, the Holy King is still too simple, he has overestimated Libeiqi, but he didn't expect that Libeiqi returned to Beijing this time and it was not good, he has been operating for so many years, forming such an alliance, in order to be able to ascend to the golden throne, although Libeiqi is dead, but behind him, this huge interest organization still exists.
Li Beiqi's death only catalyzed the exposure time of this organization, but it did not make them feel a trace of jealousy, and what the Holy King did not expect was that whether Li Beiqi's death could be found out or not, they had already settled the account on his head.
Many times, a series of volcanic effects are just such an excuse or reason, and now, this reason has been placed in front of them, how can the stimulated aristocratic alliance let it go stupidly, after weighing the interests, what awaits the holy king is the collective rebellion of the nobles and the condemnation of all walks of life.
"Cantona, how are things going?" the Holy King's brows were tightly locked, two days ago he was still happy and often woke up laughing in the middle of the night, but now he was only anxious.
"Tell Your Majesty, it will take time for the corpse to heal, and Master Gong Jiumaru is already working on it, and it will probably take a few more days. Cantona was also full of anxiety, he was attached to the Holy King, if the Holy King fell, then without the other nobles to clean him up, the temple alone would make him unable to eat and walk around.
"Tell him that if he can't figure it out tomorrow at noon, then don't blame me for being unkind. The Saint King said unceremoniously with anger on his face.
Cantona nodded and returned: "Your Majesty put it down, his subordinates will urge him to hurry up, and he will definitely strive to finish it at noon tomorrow." "Well, Cantona, you must know that the current situation is no longer under our control, we can't lose~!" The Holy King looked at Cantona, and Cantona nodded, with a knowing expression.
And not far away, a waiter secretly touched his ear, there was a small thing hidden in it, and when the holy king left, the waiter found a reason to quietly leave the palace, and now the palace has been full of tense atmosphere, because of the entry of the major nobles and lords, people come and go every day, and the waiter easily walks out.
This is a delicate-looking waiter, he turned around and came to a restaurant in the east of the city, the name of the restaurant is very special, you can smell a tempting spicy fragrance from afar, after the waiter came, first looked left and right, and then walked in casually.
"How many guests?" asked the receptionist standing at the door. "One. The waiter looked around and returned. "Oh, do you want a single table or a shared table?" This restaurant is Long Yu's first hot pot restaurant, and it is also the location of the main store, because of the special living habits of the high elves, so this table is also derived, even if two single people eat together, they can not only make friends, but also save money.
"Share the table, the second table by the window. The waiter looked down the hall and whispered. The receptionist's eyes flashed with a gleam, he nodded, quickly wrote something in the notebook and handed it to the attendant standing on the other side, and the attendant took it and ran upstairs.
Not long after the waiter sat down, a middle-aged man appeared opposite him, "Friend, together?" The middle-aged man smiled kindly, and the waiter nodded. "Now this season beef is the best, tender and fragrant, the most suitable for hot pot. The middle-aged man said with a list. The waiter's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "This must be a three-month-old calf, the meat has clear lines, three poles and three horizontals, and it tastes the most beautiful." ”
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "My friend is really fateful, I didn't expect to have the same hobby as here." After laughing, the middle-aged man continued to look at the bill, but his voice was secretly lowered: "What news?" The Holy King received General Cantona alone and asked him to hand over the body of Count Libeiqi at noon tomorrow. The waiter did not hesitate, and also pretended to look at the menu, and whispered.
"Is the news reliable?" the middle-aged man continued, "Absolutely reliable, I heard it myself." The waiter returned. "Well, when you walk through the back door, someone will pay you. "yes, I see. The waiter let out a long breath, and his face finally calmed down.
"Tomorrow at noon, really?" Long Yu listened to the news from Yi Shuihan, and his brows furrowed slightly. "It's a spy I planted in the palace, and it's infallible. Yi Shuihan returned to the side. "Hehe, it looks like the show is starting so soon. The corners of Long Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the secret decree on the table.
"Big brother, should we prepare?" Ye Wenhao asked on the side, Long Yu smiled: "That's not necessary, you guys are still behind, if you are really idle, you can change the secret language you made." ”
"What's the matter, that secret language is not good?" Ye Wenhao asked puzzled, Yi Shuihan pouted and smiled: "That's not it, it's just that the beef with three bars and three horizontals, I've never seen it." "You made me want to be a little more respectful, and now you blame me?" Ye Wenhao glared at him and said unhappily.
"I'm not unhappy, my eldest brother said to let you change it. "Big brother doesn't care about any secret words, it must be something you said. "What did I say about you", "You just said", "I didn't", "You have", "Mu has", "Mu has", "Mu has", "Mu has", ·······
At noon on the second day, almost all the high-ranking officials and the hereditary nobles of the various domains gathered in the House of Elders, because the Holy King was about to announce the true murder of the Count of Ribage.
"We ushered in the triennial Festival of Light, but also ushered in a century-old nameless tragedy, this should be a day of joy and enjoyment, and we are gathered here, if the great elven god can see this scene, his eyes will also can't help but cross the sorrow, the brave and loyal Earl Ribage has left us forever, as his people, friends and colleagues, should we seek justice for him?" Standing on the podium was a middle-aged man, and his passionate speech resonated with many people present.
In the chorus of "Should~!", the curtain behind the podium opened, revealing a platform, on which were placed rectangular black crystal coffins, the left and right sides of the coffin were filled with flowers, and standing next to the coffin was Cantona, dressed in armor.
At the same time as the coffin was revealed, the palace guards surged into the palace from the various entrances of the hall of the Elders, and in the blink of an eye, almost the entire hall was under the control of the guards, and a magic bow and crossbow with a black handle was in their hands, and the magic bow and crossbow that could fire five hundred rounds in a row could kill a Moon Shadow-level warrior almost instantly.
"What's going on?Isn't Your Majesty going to give us an explanation?Why is this happening~!" Duke Adori stood up and asked with a long shout, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent.
"Don't be impatient, Lord Duke, I will naturally give you an explanation. "Out of the balcony on the second floor came the Holy King, who was accompanied by two masked warriors dressed in dark green warrior robes, each with a belt tattooed with a dragon pattern around their waists, looking extremely imposing.
"Sunshine peak martial artist. "There are already people gasping, they all say that the Holy King has the most powerful warrior in the country, and now when I see it, it is really not a lie, the little nobles have already retreated, but Fidel and other counts and nobles who are standing at the forefront of the crowd are fearless, and the Holy King leads the peak warriors of the sun to appear, just to deter these people who dare to challenge his authority, and tell them who is the real master of this country.
Just when many people were already frightened, Fidel snorted coldly, and the four or five middle-aged people standing beside him turned into four or five middle-aged people, and took off the robes draped on their bodies, revealing a fiery red warrior uniform, although these samurai who appeared did not have a gold belt, but their momentum was not weaker than that of the people around the Holy King, and the grass on the wall standing in the crowd suddenly felt at ease, they were also the peak martial artists of the Sun, and under the comparison of the forces of the two sides, it was obvious that their side had an advantage.
It's not just Fidel who brought super warriors, but several counts are lords who have been in business for many years, and after appearing together, there are a lot of masters, and what makes the Holy King secretly worry is that it is not the peak martial artist of the sun who is following Andoli, but a cloud-level martial artist who has crossed the peak of the sun and stepped into the divine realm.
