Chapter 162: [Slash]
In the square of the palace, there was already a quarrel, Prince Barang and the Queen were-for-tat, and Miss Nicole interjected with the Marquis of Caroline from time to time. [No pop-up novel network]
The two sides are fighting over the succession to the throne.
Her Majesty the Queen, on her side, said that Her Majesty the Emperor was critically ill, and the position of the crown prince should be established immediately, and the prince in Her Majesty's womb should inherit the throne.
And Prince Barang insisted that the emperor had not died, and Her Majesty the Empress had no right to decide the position of the crown prince, while Nicole said that it was logical for the prince to inherit the throne. The Marquis of Carolinge immediately retorted, saying that His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, so it would be unjustifiable for the prince to be the crown prince......
Prince Balang had a very tough attitude, and finally simply pulled out his long sword, slammed it into the ground, and shouted: "The empire is a great cause created by the ancestor Abbasid the Great, how can you allow a woman to usurp it! Although His Majesty the Emperor is seriously ill and unconscious, are the descendants of the Abbasid Emperor at your mercy!"
The queen's face was pale, and Corsica VI next to her suddenly said softly: "Usurpation?"
He suddenly stepped forward, looked at Prince Balang coldly, raised his voice and said coldly: "Your Royal Highness Prince Balang, did you just talk about usurpation? Then let me tell you, what is usurpation!"
The leader of the Divine Cult of the Empire of Light, with a majestic look in his eyes, said slowly in a deep and deep voice: "According to the decree of the Empire of Light, the emperor of the Empire of Light must be a faithful believer in the Divine Cult! The emperor must believe in great gods! Even the great Abbasid Emperor is a faithful believer of the gods!"
His voice echoed in the sky above the square, looking coldly at Prince Barang, who felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but take a step back, as if he couldn't resist the Pope's gaze.
Corsica VI said coldly: "Your Royal Highness, you just talked about usurpation...... Then I ask you, what is usurpation? Is it a usurpation for the son of Her Majesty the Empress, the son of His Majesty the Emperor, to inherit the throne? Is it not your intention that the throne should not be inherited by the son of His Majesty the Emperor, but by you, his brother?"
Corsica VI's voice seemed to carry some strange magic and oppression, and Prince Barang's face was a little wrong, but he suddenly saw the Carolingian Marquis beside him, and remembered that he must be tough, and immediately said proudly: "The baby has not been born yet, but Your Majesty's body may not be able to drag on for so long...... Shall we let an unborn baby be the emperor of this empire!?"
As soon as these words came out, many nobles nodded slightly, and let an unborn baby inherit the throne with such a huge empire, which is indeed a bit unreasonable...... Although it was the emperor's son, if His Majesty died suddenly, would he still have to leave the throne empty for a while, and wait for the baby to come out and inherit it? Even if he waited a few months for the baby to be born, how could a baby manage such a huge empire?
Corsica VI nodded, a smile on his face: "Very good, Your Royal Highness, you have finally spoken your heart...... You think that the throne should be inherited by you, right?"
Without waiting for Prince Baran to reply, Corsica VI's face suddenly changed, and with a sharp reproach in his voice, he exclaimed: "Then, in the name of the great God, I ask you—are you, Prince of Baran, a faithful believer in the gods, and are you full of faith and respect for the great gods with all your heart?"
Prince Balang's face was a little unnatural, but at this moment, facing all the wealthy and noble ministers in the imperial capital, he could only say loudly: "Of course I am!"
Pope Corsica VI smiled coldly and said in a slow voice: "Prince Baran, you are blaspheming! In your heart, everything you do is blasphemy! And when you say such words as 'faith' in the gods, it is even more blasphemy!"
Speaking of this, Corsica VI said coldly: "Prince Barang, I may ask you, how do you explain the appearance of the blood clan in your mansion that day? On that day, there was a dragon qi in the imperial capital that can only appear in the sinful land of the northern pagans, and that dragon qi appeared in the prince's mansion, how do you explain it?
Prince Balang's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "How could I collude with the Blood Clan! That day the Blood Clan attacked my Prince's Mansion and destroyed my castle, how could you say that I colluded with vampires!"
Corsica VI said coldly: "Very well! Then you are denying it! You mean that the despicable Bloodclan attacked your castle, and the castle was destroyed in the fight against the Blood, so you yourself are not in collusion with the Blood, are you?!"
Prince Barang immediately said, "Not bad!"
Corsica VI showed a mocking look in his eyes, and said coldly: "But that day, your prince's mansion not only appeared with the breath of the blood clan, but also the breath of the dragon clan! You said that the blood clan attacked your castle, is it the dragon clan that is helping you to guard the castle? So may I ask you, what is the collusion with the dragon clan and this northern infidel?"
Prince Barang's mouth opened wide, he was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you keep saying that I am blasphemous, do you have any evidence? I have nothing to do with these two alien races!"
Corsica VI said coldly: "Very good, you mean, they fought in your prince's palace and destroyed your prince's palace, but you yourself have no collusion with them, right?"
After a pause, the Pope raised his voice and said coldly: "Then, why are there so many nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, but two alien races choose your mansion as a battlefield? Among them, who are your allies and who are your enemies!"
Barang was angry in his heart and said angrily: "Your Majesty, do you have any evidence in your hands for the charge of colluding with infidels on my head? Could it be that just by virtue of the words of His Majesty the Pope, I am blasphemous? I am colluding with foreign races? Is the Divine Cult ready to intervene in the struggle of our royal family? Or are you far-sighted and hoping to seize the fruits of power!"
Corsica VI's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "The Divine Cult is only a servant of the gods, and it has no interest in the power struggle in the world, but we will put all those who blaspheme the gods to the judgment they deserve!"
Marquis Caroline suddenly said coldly: "Your Majesty the Pope, you have no evidence after all-can it be that the Pope of the Divine Sect can judge the prince of the empire with a single word!"
This sentence is high-sounding, and it secretly provokes the boundary between the empire and the Cult of God -- what it means is that even if you are the Pope, you have no right to convict Prince Barang with a single sentence! After all, Prince Barang is the honor of His Royal Highness, and only the emperor has the right to judge him, unless the Pope thinks that the Cult of God is already above the imperial power!
If he continues, it will be tantamount to believing that the authority of the Pope can be above the imperial power, which is tantamount to offending all the nobles and royal families of the empire......
Corsica VI said lightly: "I am not judging His Royal Highness...... It's just that there are too many mysteries in this matter, and the Divine Religion Institute will investigate them one by one...... But until it is investigated, the Divine Cult will reserve its attitude towards His Royal Highness's trust!"
As soon as these words came out, it was already clear that they did not support Prince Balang's succession to the throne - everyone present looked at Prince Balang with a somewhat complicated gaze - from the founding of the Bright Empire to the present, no emperor had offended the Divine Cult before succeeding to the throne!
Prince Balang laughed angrily, coldly pulled out the sword that was inserted on the ground, and said loudly: "Could it be that the Divine Cult really wants to take advantage of the change of imperial power of our Bauhinia Family? Could it be that you have a plot against the supreme power of the Empire? Your Majesty, if the Divine Cult really wants to plot against the Bauhinia Family, then you must first ask the descendants of Abbasid the Great if they agree!"
He clenched the sword in his hand tightly and shouted: "At this moment, the life and death of His Majesty the Emperor is uncertain! The Empress is here to gather everyone to set up the crown prince! Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, who dares to speak about the establishment of the prince, His Majesty the Pope, even if you are the leader of the Divine Cult, you have no right to say anything about this kind of thing!"
He raised his long sword, pointed at the empress standing on the steps, and shouted: "Put down your scepter, otherwise, even if you don't talk about the crown prince today, I will hold you accountable for usurping the emperor's rights!"
He just raised his long sword, and suddenly there was a strong wind in front of him, and a slender figure rushed out, standing in front of him, his white head raised, and Mr. Qiu said coldly: "Your Royal Highness, please put down your sword! Otherwise, if you point your sword at Her Majesty the Queen, it will be a great crime of rebellion!"
Although Prince Balang was in a turbulent mood at the moment, he was also cold in the face of this first samurai of the empire, and although the sword was not put down, his steps took two steps back.
He slowly retreated to the back, but still shouted: "The whip of the god of thunder has been guarded outside the palace! Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, I will not recognize the crown prince who is appointed! If anyone dares to usurp the throne, then the whip of the god of thunder who is loyal to the bloodline of the Bauhinia family will swear to defend the orthodoxy of the Bauhinia family! Even if you are the queen, I will also send you to the guillotine!"
"Bold!" Mr. Qiu suddenly raised a hand, Prince Balang snorted, the long sword in his hand flew out, and the whole person fell backwards, slamming into the arms of several officers behind him.
Mr. Qiu stood proudly on the spot and said coldly: "I am a palace warrior, and my duty is to guard the palace! Prince Balang, do you want to disadvantage Her Majesty the Empress by mobilizing troops to gather troops outside the palace?"
Prince Baran struggled to his feet, and was about to speak, but when he saw the Marquis Caroline winking at him, his heart moved, and he immediately took a step back.
He saw Mr. Qiu standing there, full of murderous aura, and his heart was also cold - if the other party really killed himself with a sword, then everything would be over! The other party sent Mr. Qiu to kill himself on the spot here, and it was a big deal to put all the charges on Mr. Qiu and exchange a court warrior for the throne, which was also very cost-effective!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and when he stood behind his subordinates, Mr. Qiu smiled coldly, stretched out a hand, and with a whoosh, the long sword that Prince Balang had originally fallen to the ground automatically flew into his hand.
With a sword in his hand, Mr. Qiu pointed at Prince Balang and shouted, "Your Royal Highness, please immediately withdraw the troops surrounding the palace!
Nicole was also surprised in her heart, in today's plan, there was no preparation for Mr. Qiu to make a move! But looking at Mr. Qiu's murderous aura now, it didn't look like a fake at all!
Don't...... Could it be that he really wanted to take this opportunity to kill Prince Balang?!
"No!" a thought immediately flashed in Nicole's heart: "No matter what, Prince Barang has not openly rebelled, he is still the prince of the empire! Now that Mr. Qiu has killed him, even if the matter is successful, then Mr. Qiu's charge of killing the royal family will be confirmed!"
Cold sweat came out of Nicole's head, and she was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Mr. Qiu's voice in her ears:
"Miss Nicole, after I killed Prince Barang today, I will naturally put all the guilt on my head! As soon as Prince Barang dies, the only heir to the royal family will be the child in the queen's womb! Even if others criticize him, there is nothing to be done! I will not leave after I kill him, and I will commit suicide immediately! In this way, all the blame will be placed on my head! I will exchange my life for the queen's safety! I have made up my mind, please don't speak!"
Nicole's face changed drastically, knowing that it was Mr. Qiu who used a secret method to secretly speak to herself, and subconsciously wanted to speak loudly, but now she seemed to be bound by a strange force all over her body, not to mention that her body couldn't move, and she couldn't even say a word in her throat!
Nicole was shocked in her heart, she didn't know how Mr. Qiu got to this point, she looked at Her Majesty the Queen, and when she saw the Queen, she was also frightened, and she knew that Her Majesty the Queen was also restrained by Mr. Qiu!
Mr. Qiu slowly walked towards Prince Balang and said in a deep voice: "Prince Balang, please give up! You have committed the crime of rebellion by disrespecting the queen and privately mobilizing troops outside the palace!"
Prince Balang shouted, and two men in military uniforms rushed up beside him! Both of them drew their swords at the same time, and slashed at Mr. Qiu on the left and right!
The surrounding aristocratic ministers all exclaimed, they didn't expect these people to say that they would do it! Almost everyone was so frightened that they immediately retreated in all directions, only a few military generals couldn't help but hold their swords, and looked at the scene vigilantly, two of them had already stood by Miss Nicole's side intentionally or unintentionally, and protected the eldest lady of the tulip family with their bodies.
No one saw Mr. Qiu's movements clearly, and he heard two muffled snorts, and the two men of Prince Balang, who had done it, flew out on the left and right!
Mr. Qiu said coldly: "Your Royal Highness, the two subordinates around you have already reached the fourth level of samurai or above! I'm afraid it's not an ordinary officer, do you have any plans to bring such a master into the palace?"
Prince Balang's face turned pale, and the other two men immediately took out their small staff from their bosoms and chanted incantations each.
Mr. Qiu's eyebrows raised and he sneered: "It's a warlock, it seems that there are indeed many masters in His Highness's entourage!"
The two fireballs immediately smashed at him, and the two warlocks also knew that such a simple fireball technique would probably not be able to stop Mr. Qiu, so they pulled Prince Balang and retreated outside the square. Marquis Caroline had long been hiding aside, but he had a plan in his heart, but he had already hid to the side of several elders of the Divine Cult.
Mr. Qiu's long sword casually bounced the two fireballs away, and his body flew out, and he instantly stood in front of Prince Balang, who was running out of the square!
Mr. Qiu's eyes showed murderous aura, and he said coldly: "Prince Balang, please don't resist! I have a sword in my hand, and no one can stop me!"
The long sword in his hand swept over lightly, and the two warlocks under Balang immediately laid out a light curtain of defensive spells, but they heard a crisp sound of "ding", and as soon as the long sword touched the light curtain, it easily cut the light curtain, and then the entire light curtain was shattered and dispersed, and the faces of the two warlocks changed dramatically, and a mouthful of blood spurted out at the same time!
Mr. Qiu's sword momentum did not stop, and he slashed towards Prince Balang's head! Prince Balang shouted, and a ball of fighting spirit immediately erupted on his body, he grabbed a long sword from his subordinates in his hand, gritted his teeth and went up!
Only a "clang" sound was heard, and the long sword in Prince Balang's hand immediately shattered, and his body fell out heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Mr. Qiu took a breath, aimed the long sword in his hand at Prince Balang and shot it, Prince Balang rolled on the ground in a hurry, and the sword grazed his face and stuck it on the ground! The two warriors of Prince Balang, who had fallen to both sides, had already gotten up, grabbed the sword from the ground, and at the same time transported out the fighting energy, shouted in unison, and rushed towards Mr. Qiu.
Mr. Qiu sneered, replaced the sword with his hand, and actually resisted the sword slashed by the other party with his bare hands! I only heard a few ping-pong sounds, and the two warriors couldn't stop retreating, and finally all the fighting spirit on the two of them was dispersed by Mr. Qiu, and they fell to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a strong wind behind him, and the two warlocks joined forces to form a wall of flames, swept away by powerful flames, and swept towards Mr. Qiu! A cold light flashed in Mr. Qiu's eyes, and with a fierce slash with one palm, a shining huge light blade immediately burst out in front of him, and he slashed at the swept wall of fire!
The blade of light collided with the wall of fire, and immediately there was a loud bang, and at the same time it shattered! The sparks and energy that were all shining sparks and energy frightened the people hiding around and rushed around, and countless soldiers had already embraced them!
Prince Balang shouted loudly: "Empress, do you dare to order me to kill me without His Majesty's order!! you kill a member of the royal family privately, even if you are the empress, it is a capital crime!!"
Mr. Qiu's cold laughter rang in his ears: "Your Royal Highness, you don't need to shout, it is not the queen's order for me to kill you! I am only a palace warrior, I want to take you down, and I killed you when you resisted, and Her Majesty the queen has no guilt! Even if you are guilty, I am just responsible for it!"
A dazzling light flashed, and Prince Barang could almost feel the chill that pierced through his bones, his whole body stiffened, his body could no longer move, and he was desperate in his heart, closing his eyes and waiting for death......
