Ye Wenqin turned on the monitor, but it didn't receive any signal.

"It seems that Song Dazhong has not yet arrived, and I don't know if Kumar is free to see him in this situation recently. ”

Ye Wenqin turned off the monitor and began to think about the plan for the two days.

"Tomorrow I'll go to the Madatri and set up a relay station, and then we'll see if there's anything else to do, and I'll set up a few more. Then look for a chance to go to the Police Department. ”

Hartland does not have a department like the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and the National Police Department is in charge of the Royal Police Service. According to Ye Wenqin's disguised identity now, there is still a chance to enter.

And Ye Wenqin only needs to get close to the distance of 100 meters from the archives now, which is the maximum distance that the spiritual vision can concretize the text information, at least he doesn't have to go to the archives one by one like he did a few years ago.

"Let's see if we can get close to the inspectorate's archives, and if we can really sneak in, it will be fun. It's just a bit difficult. By the way, those people from the Astor Empire should still be there, I don't know where they live, we have to see if there is a chance to get close there.

If the king of Hartland was really killed by these men, then he should be able to find out some news from the mission, and the palace will definitely not be accessible anyway. ”

Ye Wenqin touched the beard he had just shaved and said to himself.

The view of Quint's house is quite good, you can see the peaks where the royal family and the Inspectorate are located in the distance, both of which are brightly lit at this time, but there is no sign of chaos, it seems that the royal family is still blocking the news of the king's death.

"The status of the spies in the palace is not low. I don't know if it can be the interior of the palace or a high-ranking official?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Wenqin gave up, thinking like this is a waste of time.

"Have a good night's rest, there have been a lot of things going on in the past two days. ”

Coming to a place where there were enemies everywhere, Ye Wenqin didn't dare to cultivate as if no one was around.

Fortunately, the owner of this identity in this area, Quint, is also a contractor, so he relieved himself to release Haolian and Ao Huang, and let them act as sentinels, using a Xuanwu turtle with sixty percent Xuanwu bloodline and a real colorful dragon as sentinels, and there are few such extravagant ones in the whole world.

When the two contract beasts saw Hatland City for the first time, they squatted on the windowsill with some excitement, looked around, and commented from time to time.

Truth be told, with the exception of the buildings with local cultural characteristics, most of the houses disappointed the two contract beasts, and the darkness could not block their keen vision, and the slums that occupied two-fifths of the city made them constantly criticize the rulers here.

Ye Wenqin didn't care about the two of them, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

... I'm the dividing line...

The core location of the Hartland Palace has been surrounded by dense soldiers, and everyone in the palace who has nothing to do is ordered to stay in the house and not go out, so Ye Wenqin saw that it was still that calm scene here.

Hart was pacing back and forth here, waiting for all his henchmen to arrive, and Kumar was cautiously waiting, because Hart was already a sure king.

Just over an hour earlier, he had personally strangled his father.

This situation was not in his plan, and it was not until he came to the dormitory that he knew that it was all a conspiracy against their father and son, and it was all a lie to help him dispose of the old king and directly support him to ascend the throne.

He had arrived at the old king's bedchamber an hour and a half before, for William had sent someone to say that it had been dealt with, and that he had come to receive the throne.

Who knew that when he got here, he saw an angry old king and an innocent William.

Long before Hart's arrival, the entire dormitory was under William's control.

Who would have thought that Hartland's deputy chief of internal affairs turned out to be Astor's man, he killed the chief administrator, and then replaced the surrounding guards with his own people, and finally William and his party swaggered into this dormitory with a history of more than 800 years.

It was only at that time that the old king figured out why after taking the medicine prepared by the Astor people for so many days, not only did he not get better, but he even became weaker.

At that time, he still maintained the pride of a king, and with the help of the only remaining personal attendant, he sat up straight, looked at William with an angry face, and said,

"William, can't the empire tolerate me like this?"

"Your Majesty, don't you want to let it go?"

William drank the tea on the table and looked at the dying man with ignorance.

"Tell me why, I don't think the Empire will be full enough to move the head of an Allied Nation, don't fool me with some more obedient nonsense about Hart, if he were an obedient man, you would have done it a long time ago. ”

The old king knew very well in his heart that he had not acted exactly according to the will of the empire over the years, and was regarded as a thorn in the side by many high-ranking officials of the empire, but it was not enough for them to use such drastic means against him.

"Brother-in-law, this is the last time I will call you that. ”

William finally looked squarely at this man who was considered a relative.

"Troubled times are coming, and we must remove all instability, and you are our biggest instability in Hartland.

As for Hart, you don't need to worry, we naturally have a way to control him, and if he really acts like you, it will only be ruined. ”

"What are you going to do, it's an immature white-eyed wolf, he's been waiting for me to die for a long time. ”

The old king could not think of what William would do.

"You'll know right away, and you still need your brother-in-law to cooperate with this. ”

William said with a grim smile.

"You, he's also your nephew, is he so ruthless?"

The old king thought of something, and pointed at William with a shocked expression.

"Nephews, I have dozens of nephews, how can I care about their feelings. ”

William was still a little surprised to see that the old king had guessed his thoughts so quickly, but what if he found out, it was just a bad old man who had lost all his rights.

The old king asked a few more questions, but William had no intention of replying, but drank the tea in front of him cup after cup.

"Uncle, that old thing is finally dead. ”

Finally, after William had drunk the fifth cup of tea, Prince Hart finally arrived.

Before the sound came, it was only his words that made the old king sad and indignant.

"Uncle, who are the people outside, you can't let them spread the news. ”

It was only then that Hart entered, and the first thing he saw was William sitting in the middle of the room drinking tea, but when he looked into the inner room, he immediately stood there.

It was a long time before he pointed to the old king and stammered,

"He... He... How is he still alive. ”

This scene scared him so much that he even thought it was a trap against him.

The old king sat there, looking feebly at the ugliness of his usually favorite son.

"My good nephew, the new king of Hartland in the future, come quickly, this tea is very good. ”

William seemed to have only seen Hart standing by the door at this time, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle, that old man, my father, how is he still alive. The man you sent to deliver the message said..."

The frightened Hart sat beside William, not daring to glance at the old king sitting there.

"Oh, yes, that piece of waste must have misspoken, we and Hartland are allies, how could we murder the king of an ally?"

William said with a dumb look on his face.

"No, didn't you say that you supported me to take the position? Uncle, this joke is not easy to make casually. ”

Hart, who had realized that something was wrong, forced himself to compose.

"We Imperial people definitely don't lie, saying that supporting you is supporting you, you see, we have almost cleared the obstacles on your way to the top, only the person in the house remains, and now the surrounding area has been controlled by us, what do you want to do. ”

William is now like a big bad wolf teasing Little Red Riding Hood, constantly tempting Hart.

"There's only one person left in there, and it's a waste that can't be moved, can't you solve such a person? ”

"What, you mean to let me kill my father, are you crazy, how can I still ascend to the throne if I do it. ”

Hart, who understood what William meant, ignored the many attendants and guards around him, and shouted at William.

"Calm down, calm down, dear Hart, look at you, you are the man who wants to be king. ”

William looked at the somewhat manic Hart with disdain.

"Didn't I tell you, there are all our people around, no one will spread the word, everyone will only know that the old king passed on the throne to you when he was dying. You are the rightful king. ”

"The rightful king, the king under your control, I am afraid. ”

No matter how stupid Hart was, he knew what William meant, and he said with a bit of a broken jar.

It's the same as killing the old king, but his action and the Astor people are completely different concepts.

If he does it tonight, then he will be firmly controlled by the Astor Empire for the rest of his life, and he is a real puppet, and there is basically no possibility of turning over.

"Oh, don't you want to say that? You really don't think about it anymore? There is no shortage of princes in Hartland. ”

William finally showed his true face and looked at Hart viciously.

"Uncle, is there really no other way?"

Hart immediately softened, and was desperate to get something more.

"The road is your own choice, as your uncle, I think you should move forward like a man. ”

William withdrew the fierce glint in his eyes, came to Hart, patted him on the shoulder, said solemnly, and then walked to the door, leaving the hidden door wide open, and the cold wind immediately poured in.

"Feel the wind, this is the taste of the times. ”

Hart's muddy brain was blown by this cold wind, and he finally made up his mind.

"Uncle, as you wish. ”

He bowed to William, and then walked towards the inner chamber with a hideous expression.

The old king watched the changes in Hart the whole time, and when he saw that this son had finally made up his mind, the strength in his heart was finally discharged, and he lay on the bed with force.

The faithful chamberlain bravely opened his arms and stood in front of Hart, and shouted,

"Prince Hart, turn back, are you really going to kill your father?"

But what's the use of this, he is an ordinary person who has no cultivation at all, how can he stop Hart, who has already made up his mind.

"What are you, don't let me go, for the sake of your loyalty, I will spare your life. ”

Hart looked at this servant with disdain, although what he said was beautiful, but in his heart he still decided that he must kill this guy who was in the way, who let him know too much.

He didn't know that his disdainful expression was exactly the same as William's expression when he looked at him, and he was worthy of being a person with the same blood.

The chamberlain was very smart, and naturally knew that he would not be spared, so it was better to persevere to the end, and maybe he could leave a good reputation.

Not only did he not retreat, but he even took a step forward and continued to scold.

"Please take your true responsibility, Your Royal Highness, and what you should do now is to save your father, so that you can truly become a king. ”

"Long-winded. ”

Hart had lost his patience and waved his hand to knock the chamberlain away.

The force he used was so great that he lost his life when he was in the air.

"Well, what's the trouble? ”

When the old king saw that the last of his own people was also dead, he could not help but burst into tears, not knowing whether he was for himself or for this chamberlain.

"Father, let me give you a ride today. ”

Hart didn't look at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, and walked up to the old king.

"You, do it. But remember, you are the king of the Hartland people. ”

The old king looked at Hart and said in a serious voice as if he had given his last words.

"Don't you need to say it, I'm not as useless as you are. ”

Hart said with a sinister smile that since he had developed a mind of his own as a teenager, he had not had much respect for his father, who in his heart was weak and incompetent, and who was frail and sickly. But he didn't know that these ideas were secretly instilled in him by the Asteres.

"You, let's be honest and be a dog of the Empire, so that Hartland may still have some hope. ”

How the old king did not know about this son of his own, but he was going to die, and he could only make some last effort. But he clearly overestimated the place of his words in Hart's mind.

Hart came behind the old king, propped up his upper body, and strangled his neck with his right arm, and just before he was about to exert himself, he leaned into the old king's ear and whispered,

"Father, don't worry, I will avenge you, I will definitely kill all of these Astor crumbs one by one. You see, how filial I am. ”

Immediately afterwards, he tightened the old king's grip, and soon, the old man, who had little strength, was no longer breathing, and he did not even struggle twice, only his eyes were wide open.

William, who had been observing the situation in the room, walked in at this time.

Looking at the old king, who had no signs of life, he suddenly screamed,

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you. Wake up, Doctor, Doctor, come in!"

Then, the Astor man, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed in, and after pretending to examine it, he said to William with a sad face.

"Lord Viscount, King Hartland has passed away, please mourn. ”

When William heard this, he controlled the muscles in the corners of his eyes and tried to squeeze out a few tears.

He took two steps forward, hugged Hart, who was a little overwhelmed, and comforted softly,

"Hart, my nephew, you must be strong, and now the country depends on you. ”

At this time, Hart found that he was not as ecstatic as he imagined, nor as confident as he had just shown in front of the old king, and a feeling of emptiness came to his heart.

He let William hold him, like a walking corpse, without saying a word.

After a pretended reassurance, William dragged Hart aside and removed a shadow stone from the wall in front of him, which meant nothing to say.

Then William had the chamberlains who had come in after the doctors begin to sort out the old king's remains.

Just as a few of the chamberlains were about to move the body of the dead chamberlain, Hart suddenly stood up.

"Don't touch that person, it's an assassin sent by my third brother, he just tried to assassinate my father, although he didn't succeed, but my father died of fright. You have to protect the scene, and I want the servants of the kingdom to see the ugly face of the third brother. ”

After saying this, Hart seemed to have returned to normal, and he threw himself down in front of the old king's bed, and began to cry bitterly.

"You've done a great job and hopefully you'll be able to do even better in the future. ”

William frowned when he saw Hart's performance, then leaned into Hart's ear and whispered.

"Dear uncle, since you have that shadow stone, are you still afraid that I will be disobedient?"

Hart also gritted his teeth and whispered back.

"You just have to remember that we can take back what we can give you, and we can take back much more than we give you. ”

William said another harsh word and got up to leave.

There are only a few servants left here who have defected to the deputy chief, first, to continue to monitor, and second, there is indeed a need for enough people to serve here.

A few minutes later, the voice of Hart's men could be heard outside, and it was only at this point that the entire dormitory was truly in his hands, but what was the use.

Kumar was the second to arrive, the first was Hart's head of the guard, he had been kept out by William's men, and he didn't come in until William had led the group out, and he had already sent someone to inform Kumar.

As a man who likes to be arbitrary, Hart doesn't have many real henchmen, and Kumar is one, and the only one he can negotiate with now.

Ignoring the embarrassment, Hart told Kumar what had happened, and even his chief of the bodyguard didn't know the truth.

"Kumarqing, we are all in the dark, what can you do now?"

Hart said with a bitter expression.

"Your Majesty. First of all, the news must be blocked, especially the other highnesses, and they must not be allowed until. ”

Kumar thought for a moment and said.

"Well, but it's hard to block messages for too long. ”

"At this time, it is necessary to contact the princes and nobles who support you as soon as possible, Your Majesty, it is a good trick to splash dirty water on the third prince, and we can use the property of the third prince's mother family to reward your followers. ”

Kumar was a ruthless man, and immediately decided the fate of the third prince's family.

"When all of us have gathered, we will hold a court meeting, and then the whole situation will be under our control. ”

After Kumar finished speaking, he waved his arms excitedly, as if he had seen the scene of Hart's ascension to the throne.

"Okay, just do as you say. What about the Asters? Am I going to be a dog for them for the rest of my life?"

Hart remembered William's eyes before, and a vicious aura filled his entire brain again.

"Your Majesty, this has to be considered in the long run, at least on the surface, we can't do anything, only by really finding their death hole, can we achieve a fatal blow, and before that, I have to wronged you. ”

Kumar couldn't have figured out a way for a while, otherwise he wouldn't be just a mere inspector general, but he could only fool Hart first, at least what he said was true.

Hart couldn't do anything but nod his head first, but how could the anger in his chest be extinguished so easily, since a seed is planted, it will soon grow into a big tree.

Hart didn't expect that at this time, on a mountain peak a few kilometers away, a pair of young eyes were watching here.

Tonight, no one slept in Hartland.
