As soon as the second prince and the treasurer entered the city gate with two escorts, they were immediately surrounded by a large group of soldiers, led by the messenger who had gone to Langcheng this morning to give an order, and the four messenger escorts.

Around the five messengers were at least ten open-top carriages, each of which contained four soldiers, each armed with a powder gun from the prairie, and watched the second prince and the treasurer.

Although these soldiers were all dressed in the uniforms of the palace guards, they were completely unfamiliar faces in the eyes of the second prince and the treasurer.

By this time, the last vestiges of luck in the hearts of the second prince and the treasurer were gone, and they knew that what they were about to witness would only be the worst.

At this time, the treasurer regretted very much in his heart that he did not advise the second prince not to enter the city, and he should directly lead the troops back to Langcheng and leave.

The two originally wanted to contact the soldiers in the city to get more information and persuade them to deal with possible events in the palace together.

But I didn't expect that the opponent had set up a net inside the city gate, and as long as the two entered the city gate, there was no chance of turning the tables.

"Second General, Lord Treasurer, Your Majesty's order will be here to welcome you into the palace." The Messenger, though respectful, spoke in a much tougher tone than he had spoken in Lang.

"Then please lead the way!" The second prince said angrily, like the treasurer, he saw that he could not get out, and could only take one step at a time.

The four of the second prince were caught in the middle of this group of heavily armed soldiers and rushed to the palace.

They hurried to the south gate of the palace without stopping, only to see a large group of palace guards gathered outside the south gate, and they asked the two princes and the four of them to leave their horses and weapons at the south gate according to the regulations.

The second prince understood that any argument was in vain, and he dismounted and handed over his sword.

After entering the palace, the second prince asked to meet his father immediately, but was flatly refused.

The messenger said: "Second General, Your Majesty has an order, please invite the four of you to have dinner and then have a meeting in the council hall. ”

The messenger's tone became cold at this point, and the four guards behind him glared angrily with their swords in hand.

The treasurer's eyes scanned the surroundings to take a closer look, and there were many guards standing guard or patrolling in the dotted lights, although there were still many old faces among them, but they were wandering around silently like ghosts, completely oblivious to the loud quarrels between the second prince and others on this side.

Seeing this, the treasurer was not horrified, and seeing that the second prince still insisted on seeing the king first, the treasurer persuaded: "In that case, second general, let's have dinner first, after all, it is meal time." ”

The five messengers led the second prince and the four of them through a long corridor to an inner room.

A dining table and four seats have been set up in the room, and cutlery and wine glasses have been placed on the table.

Soon after the four of them sat down, several unfamiliar guards brought food and drink, and they set up four plates of meat and pasta and a large pot of wine before leaving.

The messenger said, "Second General, Lord Treasurer, please eat, the last general is waiting outside the door, please tell me what is going on." ”

The treasurer said with a pleasant face: "We have nothing to do, the five little brothers can also eat, let's go to the council hall by ourselves after eating." ”

The messenger said: "We have all had dinner in advance, because it is possible for the people from the sea to sneak into the palace to assassinate, so Your Majesty has an order, and we must protect the Second General and the army master throughout the whole process until we enter the council hall to meet Your Majesty." ”

As soon as the five messengers walked out of the door, two guards immediately walked over and closed the door, each of them took a dagger from his underwear and stood at the door, blocking the door with their bodies.

The second prince asked the treasurer in a low voice, "Does the treasurer see anything wrong?" ”

The treasurer whispered, "The palace seems to have been ghosted, and I see that the old guards are all as stupid as if they have fallen into an evil spirit, and these new guards are not only strangers but also hostile to us. So this matter must have something to do with the Emperor of Qizhou, who used the legendary Qizhou spells and herbs that can make people stupid to take control of the palace. ”

The second prince was shocked, and said in a low voice: "I knew something was wrong after I entered the palace, but I still didn't think of Qizhou's spells and herbs, but the old emperor of Qizhou who knew how to transform died outside the sky, besides, even if he didn't die, it was impossible to make more than a thousand people in the palace stupid with spells overnight." ”

The treasurer glanced at the wine and food in front of him, and his mind flashed, and he pointed to the table and whispered, "The problem is probably in these wine and food. If someone were to enter the palace kitchen and poison it, it would easily cause everyone in the palace to lose their minds, which would explain why they had to wait for me to wait until after dinner to see His Majesty. ”

The second prince suddenly realized, "I see! Brother Haidong had already said that there were many types of poisons in Qizhou, as long as a pharmacist who was proficient in herbal medicine infiltrated the palace kitchen to poison it, or they bought off the people in the palace kitchen, the Emperor of Qizhou could easily control the palace. ”

The treasurer took out a short gun from his underwear pocket, he activated the energy switch and said, "Since we are here, we can't die in vain, we will find a chance to kill them later!"

The second prince nodded yes, and he took out the gun from his arms and put it in his pocket.

"These drinks and food cannot be eaten or drunk but not on the table, so that they will think that we have eaten and drunk and sooner or later we will become stupid, and only then will they let their guard down and give us a chance to start." Treasurer Road.

The two of them looked inside the room, and it was empty except for a locker on the wall inside.

They glanced at each other, then stood up and walked over with two plates of food, pulled open the locker and poured the food into the plates. The treasurer then poured some wine on the table and on the floor with a flask in hand, and then poured it into the corner.

When the four princes were brought to the council hall, as soon as they entered the door, they found that the interior of the council hall had changed, the original pattern of sitting opposite each other in the two rows in front of the throne was now a rectangular array of four seats facing each side of the throne, and the number of seats had at least doubled.

At this time, the seats were almost full, and from the dress, the civil and military generals accounted for half of them, and the people sitting were all demented.

As soon as the second prince raised his eyes, he saw the king sitting on the throne, but his father's vacant gaze looked over his head and looked blankly ahead, not knowing what was wrong.

When the second prince and the treasurer approached the throne with two guards, the look on the king's face and eyes did not change in the slightest, and it seemed that he did not notice at all that his second prince was among the people who came in.

The five messengers, with long swords in their hands, followed behind the second prince and the four.

The second prince looked back to the left and right, and he saw his two royal brothers in the general's seat, they were sitting there drooping their heads as if they were asleep.

The second prince walked to the throne and was about to speak, when suddenly, five people walked out of the side of the screen behind the throne, and they came straight to the four of them and stood still.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the five people with abnormal appearances, the second prince involuntarily took a step back and asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”

The red-haired man on the other side smiled and said, "The second general doesn't need to panic, we are aliens who fell from the sky, and we are here to help you fight against the undersea people." ”

The treasurer was secretly surprised when he saw the five strange-looking strangers who had just appeared, and the changes in the palace were undoubtedly the work of these people. Now when he heard the words aliens, he immediately thought of the story told by Kapok, could it be that these people are related to the old emperor of Qizhou?

When the second prince was stunned, the treasurer asked, "Since you claim to be aliens to help us fight against the undersea people, but according to the treasurer's observation, our majesty and the ministers and generals have become irrational overnight, is it also your doing?" ”

"No!" The red-haired man smiled, "Of course not, they were all stupid by the undersea people, it seems that the four of you are not small, it seems that you are not intimidated by the undersea people!" ”

The redhead's tone was sarcastic.

The second prince woke up from his stunnedness, and the five people across his fingers said sharply: "Who are you sacred?" How dare you sneak into my palace and make trouble! ”

A man flashed behind the red-haired man and said angrily, "Don't think that you are a prince and dare to be presumptuous!" Have you heard of the founding emperor of Qizhou, Emperor Hui? The one who is talking to you is my imperial master back to the emperor, why don't you hurry up and salute! ”

The second prince and the treasurer were shocked, the truth turned out to be so!

After they stared at the ghost spirit for a moment, the two of them reached into the pocket of their clothes and took out a pistol, and the second prince raised the gun to shoot at the ghost spirit spirit, and at the moment when he took out the gun, Ziba, who was standing next to the ghost spirit spirit, stepped in front of the ghost spirit spirit and blocked it, almost at the same time, the second prince shot a laser in the face, and then the first shot shot from the treasurer hit him in the chest.

At the same time as Ziba let out a scream, the two guards standing behind the second prince and the treasurer reached out and pulled out their daggers, but before they could turn around and attack, they were stabbed by the messenger guards standing behind them with swords in their hands.

The ghost spirit spirit held Ziba with both hands to block himself with his body, and when the second prince moved two steps sideways and raised the gun to shoot at the ghost spirit spirit spirit again, Hu Zheng had already held the gun in his hand and fired, the second prince was hit in the face, at the same time, the gun in the treasurer's hand fired one after another, Hu Zheng dodged in time, and Ma Shan behind him was hit and fell to the ground.

The treasurer and the second prince never had a chance to shoot again, as they were knocked to the ground by Hu Zheng and the messenger guards at the same time.

The ghost spirit let go, and Ziba's body fell to the ground.

The King of the Ancient Land on the throne and his military generals looked at the four corpses on the ground, their eyes were full of fear, but no one dared to leave their seats and run away.

Because at this moment a dozen armed men with short guns rushed into the hall, and they surrounded everyone.

Hu Zheng stepped forward and picked up the pistol of the second prince and said to the ghost spirit: "Your Majesty, their guns were undoubtedly given by that bad boy from the prairie, and they came prepared, indicating that the news that we are here has leaked, and we must go to Xinnan City as soon as possible to get rid of him, lest he report to the space police." ”

The ghost spirit didn't squeak, he was still shocked, looking at the two dead disciples with a look of chagrin.

Hu Right stepped forward and said: "Brother Hu, if we attack the palace of Xinnancheng now, it will make the undersea people take down the three southern kingdoms of Xizhou without much effort, and then it will be very difficult for us to deal with thousands of chariots and troop carriers of the undersea people." It's better to let the undersea people clean him up first, and if he can't die, it's not too late for us to do it. ”

The ghost spirit came to his senses and said angrily: "These two boys have two cavalry regiments outside the city, and they will definitely make trouble, so we must try to drive them away first." The seamen on the west road will turn around and attack south tonight, and the new southern city will soon have a good show, and the kid in the prairie will not survive today. ”
