Chapter 417: Crisis is coming
The third princess has been having a bad premonition these days.
She had been focusing on Ma Fan some time ago, and it wasn't until Commander Bai reported to her a few days ago that she knew that the eldest prince seemed to have unusual behaviors during this time.
When he was attacked in the Dark Coffin Gorge, all the evidence has confirmed that the mastermind behind the scenes is his eldest brother. But the third princess buried the matter deep in her heart and did not mention it to anyone.
originally thought that his forbearance and generosity would be able to make the eldest brother rein in, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother was still obsessed and seemed to be really going to launch a blatant coup d'Γ©tat.
The third princess had no ambition in the first place, and she had no interest in imperial power. She is gifted and intelligent, but she just wants to satisfy her hobby - to run the royal business as well as she can. However, the eldest brother doesn't think so, and always feels that he is his roadblock and competitor.
And the father also regarded the third princess as the ideal heir to the throne. In this regard, the third princess had a vague premonition, perhaps it was the change in her father's attitude towards herself over the years that made the eldest brother realize the crisis and decided to strike first.
Therefore, during this time, the third princess has been secretly contacting her own strength and preparing to deal with the eldest brother's plan.
However, the third princess still underestimated the patience of the eldest brother after all.
On this day, there are still fifteen days before the lord of the Eastern Continent country leaves the customs.
"Third princess, it's not good!" The third princess was in her princess's mansion, ready to go out to visit Ma Fan, but saw Commander Bai hurriedly running in and reporting.
"Why are you so alarmed?" The third princess has a bad premonition in her heart, could it be that the eldest brother has acted?
Sure enough, Commander Bai's words confirmed the third princess's guess.
"Princess's Mansion.............. I'm fenced off! β
"What? Who are they? Although the third princess had already been mentally prepared, she still didn't want to believe it in her heart.
"Yes.............. Black Knight! β
The Black Knight is a force under the Great Prince, although the establishment is not more than two thousand people, but it has excellent combat power, almost all of them are cultivators, and the strength of the cultivators who have entered the Black Knight is at least the early stage of Jindan, and the more than 20 centurions of the Black Knight are the strength of the late stage of Jindan, and the two centurions are the mid-stage realm of soul refining, and the commander Xiao Yishan has reached the middle stage of the Yuan Infant. This force is enough to be worthy of a small sect of cultivation.
What's more, over the years, the eldest prince has been secretly developing his own power, and the number of black knights has already exceeded eight thousand, far exceeding the two thousand people in the establishment.
And more importantly, the eldest prince has been secretly absorbing many masters of the cultivation realm, and the strength of the middle stage of the black knight commander Xiao Yishan is vulnerable in front of these masters.
The third princess's face was calm, she walked to the door of the princess's mansion, quietly looked at the neatly arranged black knights outside the door, and said, "What are you doing here?" β
"Third princess, subordinates are also acting according to orders, please don't go out of the princess's mansion from today onwards, otherwise you will .............." A black knight in centurion costume dismounted and saluted the third princess.
"How else?" The third princess lowered her face and said, "Whose orders are you listening to?" β
"Third princess, don't embarrass your subordinates! We are all following the orders of the eldest prince and are here to protect the safety of the third princess............"
"The Great Prince? Big brother, is this going to rebel? "The third princess is worried about her father's safety, since the eldest brother dares to put himself under house arrest now, what will he do to his father?
The centurion smiled, still standing in front of the door, but did not answer.
"Rebellion? Isn't this nonsense? Now the behavior of the eldest prince is a blatant rebellion! The centurion said in his heart.
"What happened to my father?" The third princess asked coldly.
"This................... I beg your pardon for having no .............. to advise."
The third princess saw that several of her guards outside the princess's mansion had been surrounded by the Black Knights, and there were still a few guards lying on the ground, and a large pool of blood had oozed out of the ground under her, and it seemed that she was hopeless, so she said angrily: "Let go of my men!" β
"This ............... My subordinates really can't promise you! As soon as the centurion waved his hand, a dozen or so black knights immediately waved the spears in their hands, and instantly pierced the bodies of the guards.
Several of the guards screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
The White Commander has the late stage realm of soul refining, but there is nothing he can do at this time. Just now, he obviously felt a wave of extreme coercion surging towards him, and in an instant, the White Commander almost collapsed to the ground on his feet.
"Who is the master?" Commander Bai was stunned, and he used all his body's aura to relieve himself. The white commander's eyes lit up when he came back to his senses, because he also saw clearly that among the black knights in front of him stood an opponent who made his heart palpitate.
These guards all have Jindan period cultivation, but they didn't expect that they had no power to fight back at this time, the third princess was angry, and she couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that there must be a master of cultivation in the field to suppress the strength of these guards.
Sure enough, the third princess looked around, and saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe at a glance.
"Is that you? I couldn't have imagined that the three elders of the dignified Immortal Feather Sect would do such a rebellious thing for the tiger! β
It turned out that the middle-aged Taoist priest was the third elder of the Immortal Feather Sect.
The Immortal Feather faction is the division of the Great Prince, and this time it was moved by the Great Prince, and sent several masters to assist the Great Prince in launching a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the imperial power, and the three elders were one of the several masters who came to help this time.
"The third princess, the one who knows the times is Junjie, and the eldest prince is connected with you by blood, so I specially ask me to treat you with courtesy.............. I think you should obey the arrangement of the eldest prince and stay in the princess's mansion obediently! As for the forces under your command, please also ask the third princess to pass on the order to let them give up resistance and submit to the eldest prince............. Otherwise, those people would not have been treated so courteously like the third princess..............." The three elders used both soft and hard words in their words, and even threatened the lives of the soldiers under the third princess.
However, the third princess has seen a big scene anyway, and she is not moved.
"You are so blatantly rebellious, don't you have any scruples about other sects of cultivation? If you dare to mess around, you do so at your own risk! After the third princess finished speaking, she stepped out of the door.
"Hmph, do you really think the eldest prince is stunned?" The Third Elder said disdainfully.
The third princess felt a pang in her heart, could it be that the eldest brother had already snare all the forces of the other Xiuzhen sects? Impossible, why didn't his master, the head of the Kunlun faction, Mosha Daoist, have any information coming?
The Kunlun sect is his own sect, and it is also the sect of cultivation that his father relied on the most. It is impossible for the Kunlun faction to be unaware of such a big matter.
However, although the third princess had doubts in her heart, her face did not change and she still walked towards the door.
"Third princess, what are you going to do? Is it really reckless? The centurion snapped.
The third princess glared at the centurion coldly, did not speak, went down the steps in front of the door, and walked straight towards the dozen or so guards who had been assassinated in front of her.
Seeing that the third princess was just heading towards the corpse of the guard on the ground, the black knight hesitated for a moment, but finally gave way to it.
The third princess stepped forward, bent down and examined the guards carefully, and found that they were all out of breath.
Under the suppression of the three elders of the Immortal Feather Sect, these guards of the Jindan Stage realm were stabbed to death by the spears in the hands of the black knight without even resisting at all.
More than a dozen guards, none of them spared, all of them were dead.
The third princess was sad in her heart, held back her tears, and said loudly: "Someone! Bring these soldiers back to the princess's mansion and transport them out of the princess's mansion early tomorrow morning for a burial! β
Immediately, several guards walked out of the gate of the princess's mansion and brought the bodies of these dead guards back to the princess's mansion.
The Black Knight did not stop this time, and allowed the guards to move the body back to the princess's mansion.
After the bodies of all the guards were moved, the third princess turned around and returned to the princess's mansion.
"If you have anything to say, let the eldest brother come and tell me in person!" After the third princess stepped into the princess's mansion, she turned to the three elders of the Immortal Feather Sect and said.
After speaking, regardless of the reaction of the three elders, he ordered his subordinates to close the gate of the princess's mansion.
"Commander Bai, is there a way to send a message to the outside world now?" The third princess and the others closed the door and asked eagerly.
"Third princess, I'm afraid................ Things are a bit troublesome............... The outside of the princess's mansion has been surrounded by black knights, and there are no masters around the third princess..............." Commander Bai said, a little ashamed, "It's all blamed on the little incompetence, the three elders................. The strength is too strong, and I .............. in front of him Almost no way back................ Hey, it would be nice if Master Feng was here..............."
"Commander Bai, you don't have to blame yourself. This time, my eldest brother came prepared, and we have already lost the opportunity to have no intention of having a heart................. But it seems that the royal brother will not kill me for the time being.................... I just don't know what happened to my father.................. Inside and outside the Imperial City, what happened to those soldiers under my command.................
The third princess was also contacting and mobilizing her forces before, and one of the deputy commanders of the Imperial City Guards was also the third princess's person, and this time she promised the third princess to find a way to stop the conspiracy of the eldest prince.
However, the identity of this deputy commander has always been very secret, and the third princess has decided that she will never reveal this person's identity until she has to do so.
And several generals in the army of the Eastern Continent Kingdom are also the people of the third princess, and they have also mobilized troops outside Shengzhou City before, preparing to deal with the changes in the imperial city.
At this moment, the third princess couldn't help but be anxious. He was under house arrest in the princess's mansion, but he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he became blind.
Outside the Princess's Mansion, the three elders of the Immortal Feather Sect directly covered the entire Princess's Mansion with their divine senses, and every move of everyone in the Princess's Mansion was all under the control of the three elders' divine senses.
Once anyone in the princess's mansion wants to sneak out, they will definitely be detected by the three elders' divine sense, and the three elders will definitely not show mercy.
In the Princess's Mansion, the Bai Commander, who has the highest cultivation, is only in the late stage of soul refining realm, and he is still two small realms away from the Yuanying realm, and he is far from the opponent of the three elders.
The three elders conservatively estimated that they were also in the late stage of the Tribulation realm, even surpassing Feng Feng's cultivation in the middle of the Tribulation.
Therefore, even if Feng Feng is in the princess's mansion, he will not necessarily be the opponent of the three elders.
