Before it was reported, the content of Jacob's declaration had already caused a commotion in Shangri-La, and it was still the case abroad, let alone the royal capital of Jixia, which was only a hundred miles away from Jacob.

Lancelot's manifesto made it clear that if he didn't take the initiative to open the gates, he would force his way through them. Therefore, the commanders and military attaches in charge of the defense of the royal capital were busy making arrangements all night.

If the attackers were just a group of reckless Shets armed with weapons, they could easily shoot them to the city, but what Lancelot showed in Jacob was not only his arrogant declaration, but also his own celestial power, and if he attacked the city head-on with the power of the celestial power, he did not know what to do with the military attachés who had never encountered such a battle.

Reins Tillen has a long history, and there are no lack of records in history of heavenly masters attacking the royal capital. It was during the Kyushu War, the second prince of the demon clan Yinren led the army to attack Jixia, when the "Sun Sage" Huang Taiji and the "Star Sage" Kadar joined forces to resist the enemy, fought for two days, defeated the enemy army miserably, and made Yinren forge feathers and return. Not to mention the heavy casualties on the Jixia side, the city wall was almost demolished in the two-day battle for the heavenly position, and countless buildings in the city were destroyed and collapsed. Now that history repeats itself, the demon who invaded Reins is coming, but not to mention the heavenly masters in Jixia City, even two grandmaster-level realm strongmen can't be found, originally a peaceful country like Reins who is good at magic and the ancient demon path is not easy to produce any martial arts strongmen, but the crisis is imminent, God knows what to take to defend the city wall tomorrow?

There was no choice but to bite the bullet and negotiate with the Bai family's Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute, hoping to borrow a little Ancient Demon Dao weapon to increase his strength. It was the many students of the Jixia School Palace who instigated the action of closing the city gate and preventing the new prince from entering the city, and now they are so angry that they are about to kill them, so they should also take some responsibility!

The military attache in charge of the city's defense became an ant on a hot pot in a hurry, and the civilian officials also acted frequently.

In Reins, the prince was originally able to concurrently serve as the prime minister, but the previous queen, that is, Leah's mother, announced the abolition of the post of prime minister after the death of her husband, and instead promoted the six secretaries under him to the cabinet to assist in the government.

Bai Dezhao, the current palace secretary, is the only remaining elder of the Baizi family, and in terms of generation, he is the ninth uncle of Bai Wuji, the head of the family of this generation, and his qualifications are the same level as the provost of Daxue Mountain. Since the reign of the first two queens, it was convenient for the court to serve, and Liya's mother was promoted to the palace secretary, until now, in the nearly 300 years of administrative career, most of the court factions belong to him.

In addition, Pak was also responsible for a sacred task: to take care of the Reins Royal Academy, known as the "Jixia Academy", with the duty of sacrificing wine. Although he had not studied the Ancient Demon Dao, this old man who had witnessed the rise and fall of the Bai family had profound knowledge and affinity, which made scholars of all factions in the academy highly respect him.

The Jixia School Palace is an existence that can influence the administrative direction of Reyns, and most of the important positions in the imperial court are from the Jixia School Palace, so that a scholar who has a close relationship with the School Palace. Serving as the cabinet, of course, is a very attractive personnel arrangement, with the position of the palace itself, if the sacrificial wine of the administration of the palace is served by the important ministers of the empire, it is of course a very glorious thing.

In fact, after a long period of power struggle and merger, the Reyns court, the Jixia School Palace, and the Baizi family are almost one, for example, more than eighty percent of the participants are related to the Bai family by blood or kinship, and from a certain point of view, it really looks like a family gathering.

Compared with many dazzling Bai family geniuses, Bai Dezhao has no outstanding talents, but his steady and modest personality has made him highly praised by the three queens and won the respect of the major nobles.

But such a personality, now in the eyes of everyone, seems to be gentle and slow, and has become a major reason for everyone to be impatient.

"Lord Shangshu, please make a decision immediately, the matter can't be delayed any longer!"

"That immaculate has taken over Jacob, so please order him to be reorganized at once, and tomorrow he and his comrades will be wiped out from the city in one fell swoop!"

"No, Jacob's people are being ravaged by his clutches, and we must not delay for a moment, but we should immediately send Jacob to deliver our people!"

"The snake can't have a head, it's all because the heir is undecided, there are so many incidents, Lord Sacrificial Wine, we should immediately elect a leader!"

The important figures of the Reins court and the Jixia Academy gathered in the large conference hall of the Jixia Academy, and you and I expressed their views on the situation in front of them, and tried to persuade those who disagreed.

Reins's conservative system made the bureaucracy extremely important, and since the queen was not there, the one who had the right to order the army to be dispatched was the palace secretary. The rest of the people are of similar status, each with their own opinions, and the partiality is that you don't obey me, and I don't obey you, and they have been noisy for most of the night, but they have never reached a conclusion, just waiting for Bai Dezhao's decision.

Hunched over and hunched in an oversized leather chair, his eyes narrowed to the point that one could almost think he was asleep, the old man with a long white beard and a wrinkled face listened to all the words of the crowd.

He was undoubtedly old, but he was by no means old, and although he did not have great wisdom, his insight as an elder still allowed him to grasp the mind of each speaker.

The people who shouted that they wanted to reorganize their armaments had already seen that they were very inward-looking, and they thought that after hearing that the other party had the power of the heavenly position, they were already frightened and wanted to strengthen their courage.

The young nobleman who shouted that he was going to send Jacob to the army, who had never paid attention to the welfare of the common people in his life, said this because he did not understand the situation, and simply hated the thief.

And the people who have been clamoring for a leader...... At this moment, he is still focused on this matter, it seems that this junior is really determined to be more than the head of the Bai family, but wants to seize the whole country of Reins.

The courtiers use old ministers with considerable experience and rich experience, but those who sit on the throne must be energetic young people. This was the instruction of the first Queen Reins, and it was also the ideal politics that the Kinoshita Academy had always advocated.

Reins's new generation, there are not many young talents who are enough to ascend to the throne, looking at the selection of qualified people, Bai Xing is indeed a schoolmaster, coupled with his relationship with the Jixia School Palace, and his friendship with the courtiers, the call for him to ascend the throne is indeed very high.

In fact, after the Kyushu War, Reins adhered to the administrative principle of not participating in the continental hegemony, which allowed the country to be peaceful for 2,000 years. But all along, the opposition has not abated. There are still many people who believe that during the Kyushu War, Reyns led all forces as the leader of the alliance to fight against the demons, if it wasn't for the initiative to give up the leadership position after the war and live in a corner, the entire continent is still under the rule of Reins, how can there be Eltino and the martial arts barbarians?

When the white family was strong, it had the ambition to win the world, but with the occurrence of the catastrophe, this ideal was shattered, but the children of the Bai family have always remembered that glorious time.

This time, the queen died, and there was no one to succeed to the throne, and a wave of noise began to be set off in the Jixia School Palace, demanding that Reines should not be allowed to be so weak anymore, and that a wise and promising male protagonist should be chosen to ascend the throne and regain his strength.

This idea coincides with Bai Xing's line, and if he were to ascend the throne, probably many people would be very happy to see it!

But Bai Dezhao didn't think so. As the only remaining elder of the Bai family on the mainland, he knows many secrets that others don't know, and he also knows that the Bai family, which is already weakened on the Wind Continent, has a lot of insiders, not as simple as it seems on the outside, and participating in the continental hegemony is not as simple as imagined. If he doesn't know these things at all, it will be difficult for the emperor to sit firmly, and in the end, not only will the Bai family's children be killed or injured in vain, but it will also cause Reynes to collapse, and then he will become a sinner for the ages.

"It's important to choose a successor. After Bai Dezhao spoke, the surrounding quarrel immediately subsided, and everyone listened quietly to the words of the elder and important minister.

"Reyns's royal lineage is inherited by blood, and it is passed down from generation to child, if it is ascended by an outsider who has no royal blood, how can the people be convinced?" Bai Dezhao said: "Although Queen Leah is no longer there, in terms of blood, her brother Bai Wuji is the most orthodox heir to the throne." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and the ministers who originally proposed to elect the heir were especially opposed, because if it was to be calculated by blood, the difference between the day and the line would be 108,000 miles, and it would not be close to the throne. But there are many who agree.

Although in the eyes of opponents, Bai Wuji has no ambitions, has no strengths except for business talent, and is excessively good at fishing, and is often criticized as a "pervert with a copper smell", but this person's kindness, boldness and spend-thrift have also made him very popular in China, and he is a commoner prince without a fight. He is the elder brother of Queen Leah, and the people can't help but love him, plus he is mostly friendly with powerful forces abroad, and he will ascend the throne as emperor, although there may not be any development, but it will certainly not be worse than now.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, this is not good, the current era is different, we can no longer rely on bloodline to choose an heir, and those who can bear the fortune of Reyns should be a strong man with ability and responsibility!"

"When you say this, do you think that Wuji Gongzi is incapable and unresponsible?"

"My lords, don't argue about this matter now, we should first deal with the madman in Jacob's city!"

Bai Dezhao remained silent, seeing that the scene was about to become chaotic again, and a voice from outside interrupted everyone's dispute.

"It's rare for you to have such a diverse evaluation of my little brother's ability, which really flatters me. ”

The person who spoke slowly walked into the room, with an uninhibited smile on his face, and said slowly: "It's been a few hours since the discussion, and there still doesn't seem to be any conclusion!"

Shocked by this person, the room was suddenly quiet, and then the noise was renewed.

The white character family has dominated Reines for a long time, and more than eighty percent of the important figures in the court and the school palace who meet here have the blood of the Bai family, which will make them have such a huge shock, and the person who comes is not someone else, it is Bai Wuji, the current head of the Bai family.

Since the death of Queen Leia, he has never reacted, as if it was none of his business, and unscrupulously engaged in the relationship between men and women, changing ten different female companions in ten days. The people who originally supported him were disappointed by this, and the children of the Bai family who opposed him criticized him even more fiercely, how could a cold-blooded person who could even do nothing to do with his sister's death lead the Bai family?

Now, he took the initiative to appear here, does this mean that he wants to be on the same front with everyone? In any case, as the head of the Bai family, he has a lot of resources in his hands, and with his help, the number of people fighting the enemy has greatly increased. belongs to the faction of the daytime line, but they are worried that this person will officially express his position to compete for the throne.

"Uncle Nine, I haven't asked you for a long time. ”

Without losing the number of rudeness, Bai Wuji first saluted the elders, and Bai Dezhao did not dare to return the salute to the younger generation who was the head of the family, and when the due courtesy was exhausted, Bai Wuji began to speak, although he expected that he would do something here, but everyone did not expect his attitude to be so direct.

Looking at the people and horses of the Bai Xing family, Bai Wuji shook his head and said with a smile: "Let the Tianxing kid die!" The position of the head of the Bai family, he can't sit on it, even if I let him sit down, he won't be able to sit steadily, give up early, he can still keep a way to live." ”

After Bai Xing expressed his desire to compete for the position of head of the family, Bai Wuji expressed his opinion on this matter for the first time. Many of the children of the Bai family who supported the daytime were defending the people they supported.

"Nonsense! You can sit down, why can't Tianxing Gongzi sit down?"

"Since you don't have the ability, don't die to occupy this son, you should hand over the power of the Bai family to someone who is really capable!"

"Tianxing Gongzi is both civil and military, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of morality, he is hundreds of times higher than you, a lustful cold-blooded bastard!"

shouted and scolded repeatedly, but as a result, it aroused the anger of the faction that supported Bai Wuji, and stood up to speak for the head of the family, and the two sides scolded again. As the chairman of the meeting, Bai Dezhao just remained silent and waited for Bai Wuji's reaction.

"My talent is not understandable to ordinary people, at least ...... I can get you to stand here and shout at me for being a cold-blooded bastard and be safe. If it were another family, would you guess what happened to you now?"

Everyone shuddered.

Because of Reins's freedom of speech, they have always regarded criticizing the head of the family as a natural right, in fact, most of the seven major sects have strict family rules, absolutely upholding the dignity of those in power, like them arbitrarily insulting their own family masters, except for the freaks of Wu Lian Wang Wu and Bai Wuji, they will not care at all, and it will be difficult for the rest of the family to do things easily, Hulegu may come up with some punishments that make people laugh and cry, if it is Shi Chong and Hua Tianxie, they will probably immediately skin the whole family and put them to death, and make mud for the public.

"I'm a horny, cold-blooded bastard, and the reason why the Skywalker is not qualified to sit at the head of the house is because he is not. Bai Wuji said slowly: "The person who can sit on the head of the Bai family must not be a normal person, and he will definitely not be a normal person." ”

The unbelievable words, not only the members of the Bai family discussed a lot, but Bai Dezhao, who was the leader, was greatly touched.

"The genius Bai family, the crazy Bai family", this is the outside world's impression of the white family when the Bai family's strength was at its peak. The outstanding ancestors of the Bai family in the past dynasties, all those with outstanding abilities, are not just ordinary heroes, but are geniuses who are rare to see in hundreds of years, and have made amazing progress in the subjects they are good at, leaving everyone far behind, and the research contributions they have left behind are enough for their children and grandchildren to enjoy for several generations.

But just like their peerless qualifications, these ancestors also had strange personalities. Most of them have perverse personalities, some are like Bai Wuji, who is a womanizer who chases behind women all day long; some are reverse sexualists who prefer beautiful men and boys; and there have also been strange people like Bai Shengming, the fifth-generation head of the family, who regards sex as fearful and lonely all his life.

The most terrifying thing is the seventh-generation head of the family, Bai Doom, who created the nuclear fusion fist. This man is an extremely bloodthirsty maniac, and the warriors who died in his hands were enough to pile up a mountain. Before he forcibly wanted to advance to the heavenly position and practiced to die violently, he had to kill one person every night before he could sleep, especially the scene where the knife cut through the bones, which could make him orgasm during sex.

These ancestors undoubtedly made outstanding contributions, but perhaps it is precisely because of their talents beyond most ordinary people that their own personalities cannot support them, and they must vent their crazy behavior, so that they can find the motivation to live. In fact, the Bai family Junjie, who died early and committed suicide, is full of genealogy.

Bai Dezhao knows his ordinariness very well, and knows that Bai Xing, who is closer to his blood, should also be just an ordinary person, unlike Bai Wuji and Liya, the three brothers and sisters, who are extraordinary under the ordinary appearance. Therefore, he refused to be courted by Bai Xing in private meetings several times, and now that Bai Wuji has stood up to speak, he must have to make a move......

"The head of the house. The old man, who had been silent, opened his mouth, "What do you think about the succession to the throne?" Bai Dezhao had previously expressed that he hoped that Bai Wuji would sit on the throne, and this inquiry was to confirm whether Bai Wuji had the intention of ascending the throne as emperor.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Bai Wuji did not change his expression. My sister and I like this uncle very much, and being able to recognize my own weight and not think about it is not something that everyone can do.

"Let the rightful heir sit on the throne, I have never been a devout person, and if I were to pray for you in the place of the queen, it would bring bad luck to Reins. ”

Bai Wuji said: "That's why I'm here this time just for one question. May I ask you, what reason do we have for not allowing the orthodox heir to ascend the throne?"

As soon as these words came out, the room was suddenly hung in a suspenseful atmosphere, and everyone scrutinized the meaning of the words, but they didn't dare or want to believe the meaning of his words.

"What does the head of the house mean ......?"

Bai Wuji said: "As people of Reins, haven't you all sworn to obey the queen's orders? Now that I'm going to push and choose here, and no one takes the Queen's orders to heart anymore?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, a courtier said: "The queen's will is naturally important, but how can an outsider come to ......?"

"It can't be regarded as an outsider!" Bai Wuji said: "Regardless of background, since I am officially married to the queen, I am Prince Reins, and I have been from the army of the Hua family before, guarding the safety of the queen, which has made great contributions to my Reins." In terms of relationships and merits, the new prince can no longer be said to be an outsider. ”

In a sound of surprise, everyone realized that the reason why Bai Wuji came here was actually to help the foreign bandit ascend the throne and become king, and now they were greatly panicked, regardless of faction, all united to stop this.

"Wuji Gongzi, even if that guy is not an outsider and has made great contributions to our country, but such a brutal and unkind reckless man who only knows how to convince people by force, if he is allowed to sit on the throne, it will only be a catastrophe for our country!"

"Hah! Let you sit on the throne, that is really the catastrophe of Reins. Bai Wuji sneered: "There has always been a wave of reviving the national strength in the school palace, just now you yourself said that the succession of the throne can no longer rely on blood, it needs a capable and responsible strongman, the new prince is true to subdue people with force, but it is a fact that he has the power of the heavenly throne." According to your arguments, this kind of strongman is the best person to lead Reynes in the struggle for supremacy, and he will succeed him, and you should applaud him. ”

Overwhelm all opposition and leave opponents speechless. Only then did everyone remember that Bai Wuji was famous for his eloquence in the Jixia School Palace, and only a very few people could argue with him, including Queen Leah, and now they were fighting with him, and no one could fight for him.

Since the battle of words is useless, then work hard from the most focused place.

"Wuji, maybe what you said is right, but please don't forget the recent report, this new prince is really suspicious, there is no reliable witness to prove the marriage in Kigru, it is very likely that he coerced the queen to marry with violence, or even there is no so-called marriage at all, everything is just a conspiracy between him and his party, pretending to marry the queen, intending to seize the throne of our country!"

Finally getting to the center of the matter, the ministers said yes again and again, pushing the heavy negative pressure back on Bai Wuji.

Bai Wuji waved his hand and said, "Why do you knowingly ask? Can that level of reporting prove anything? As long as I am willing, tomorrow the headlines of the major newspapers in Reines will also select a new murderer, so as to ensure that all your names are on the top, everyone has a share, and there will be no failure." How about it, do you want to taste what Qianfu is referring to?"

Remembering his strength as the head of the Bai family, as soon as he said this, how could anyone dare to speak, but his unconvinced eyes were still looking at Bai Wuji.

"At the time of the incident, I was holding a woman under the grass, and I couldn't prove the truth about what happened to Kigru. Bai Wuji smiled: "But if you want to say that there is no witness, it is not necessarily." ”

"Righteous and unscrupulous son, this matter is very important, you can't just find someone and say it's a witness!"

"Is there a witness?

The discussion had reached a critical point, and the ministers were afraid and curious, not knowing how Bai Wuji would solve this critical problem.

"It's ...... me"

The voice was crisp, coming from the door, and the ministers looked back, but they didn't look at anyone, and lowered their gaze an octave, and then they saw the figure of the speaker.

Dressed in a black robe and a large magical black hat slanted over her head, Merlin slowly walked into the conference hall. Some people recognize this smiling girl, who often wanders around the Jixia School Palace and sets up a stall, putting a crystal ball on the table, specially helping young students to divinate love and fate, and is very popular with students, but they don't know why such a lowly character would come to the important meeting place.

At the front of the conference table, the old man, who had always been as silent as a stone, suddenly moved. He bowed down to the girl and exclaimed, "Palace Master, I didn't expect to alarm your old man, I'm really ashamed..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and there was only one thought in their minds, that is, could it be that the legendary palace master of the Jixia School Palace really existed?

The Reins Royal Academy, also known as the Jixia Academy, should be headed by the dean, which is commonly known as the position of the master of the Academy. At the beginning, the Academy Palace was led by the Palace Master, and with his extraordinary ability, he unified the major factions, laid the foundation of the current Academy Palace, and made it the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of Reins. But according to rumors, more than a thousand years ago after the palace master went out to visit, never returned, the first two queens thanked the palace lord for his kindness, and added the position of sacrificial wine, on behalf of the head of the Jixia School Palace.

As time passed, the true face of the palace master of Jixia was no longer remembered, and many young children thought that it was just a fabricated image of a great man, and there was no palace master at all. Now, Bai Dezhao, who is the patriarch of the Reyns court, salutes this girl so humbly, is she the elder of the elders, the master of the Jixia School Palace?

"Palace Master, why are you ......?"

"The biggest advantage and disadvantage of the ancient civilization is that there are a lot of old immortals, and it is really not easy to find some old bones to instigate in the case of El Tieno and Wu Lian. ”

Accepting Bai Dezhao's salute, Mei Lin said: "Hello everyone, I am Merlene Green, the dean of Reyns Royal Academy, if my memory is correct, more than ninety percent of you here are our students. I followed the queen at the time of the Kigru incident, and I was able to confirm the merits and innocence of the new prince, and if that wasn't enough, the two thousand magic guides of the Wizard Guild could prove it. ”

Mei Lin's voice was not loud, and the girl's appearance was not the slightest bit powerful, but as the head of the palace and the first elder of Reins, her words had an irreversible sense of oppression, making it impossible for everyone to speak out against them.

"The new prince is a brave man with a chivalrous heart, and for such a person, the Demon Guild will do its best to defend it, and I hope that all of you here will not doubt our determination. ”

"The position of the white character family is the same, unless someone raises the banner of rebellion against me, otherwise all the children who are loyal to my Bai Wuji, please give the new prince the support and respect he deserves. ”

It is well known that Queen Reyns is the president of the Wizard Guild, but the courtiers all know during the Kigru incident that the Rains court does not have the power to rule the Wizard Guild, and they don't even know how to contact it. Now, the Wizard Guild has finally taken a stand, and with the support of the White Character Family, the two forces are united, and there is an absolute power to influence Reyns and suppress all kinds of opposition.

"I don't care what you decide, anyway, the gate of Jixia will be opened tomorrow. Mei Lin said coldly: "The queen's last order is true, although there is still some room for discussion in it, but if anyone advocates closing the city gate and not allowing the queen's coffin to be buried, it is the enemy of all my magic guild!"

Bai Wuji, who was next to him, nodded and said, "I agree with Teacher Mei Lin's statement. ”

So, while the people of Lancelot were still thinking about how to use to capture the gates, the gates had fallen silently in this council chamber.
