Section 569: A shocking case
readx;
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the Battle of the Burning Scourge, during which the Griffon Kingdom had undergone an astonishing change. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The three princes, who had always been favored, were finally pulled off the altar, and under the joint pressure of the old mage and other five law saints and the three sword saints, the emperor finally had to announce the dismissal of him from all his duties, and gave him a relatively remote fief to let him go as a lord. Although the third prince was not punished by the grounding, everyone knew that he had almost lost his qualification to win the throne after being driven out of Yanjing.
And Catherine suddenly rose to the top, as a princess, taking over most of the vacant positions vacated by the three princes, such a drastic change is undoubtedly equivalent to telling everyone who is the next heir to the throne. It's just that Catherine is short of manpower, and she encountered a little trouble after taking over.
However, with the means of the imperial aristocracy, of course, they would not let go of this opportunity, and for a while, Catherine's door was almost broken by various nobles who were looking for jobs. And Catherine herself was then overshadowed by endless official duties, so that it was difficult for the old evil to see her.
As for the army at the front, it was unexpectedly led by Carlos. At the age of 30, he became the commander of an army of 100,000, and Carlos can be regarded as creating a miracle. The nobles of Yanjing were envious, but they couldn't help but sigh that Carlos had a keen eye, and he fell to Catherine, who was not very optimistic, early, and as a result, Catherine's momentum made Carlos also developed.
However, the people on the side of the queen and Augustus did not reach the time when all thoughts were lost, although the three princes were abolished, but they did not give up and played another trump card, that is, the little princess Lan Snow. In contrast, the little princess's innate conditions are naturally no worse than those of the third prince, and even surpasses, after all, her teacher is a cold ice magic saint, and that is a strong man who can be controlled even by an old mage. In addition, the little princess Lan Snow's own bloodline is also pure human, which is also stronger than Catherine, so once she enters politics in the future, the chance of ascending to the throne is still very high.
Of course, the little princess Lan Snow still can't compete with Catherine, after all, she is still young, and she doesn't even have a little experience in politics, and she is far inferior to Catherine in terms of qualifications and prestige. It's just that the emperor is now in his prime, and it is estimated that he will not die in ten or eight years, so the little princess Lan Snow still has a chance to catch up.
Because the queen's side has been hit by a huge blow because of the affairs of the three princes, they urgently need to launch someone to boost their morale, so they ignore the opposition of the little princess Lan Snow and plan to set a marriage for her first, first, they can take the opportunity to hype up the popularity of the little princess Lan Snow, but they can find a strong ally in order to gain the upper hand in the future struggle.
Yanjing's aristocratic circle is naturally very concerned about this matter, after all, the little princess Lan Snow is also a rare beauty, and she is also one of the popular candidates for the next emperor, so there are many people who want to marry her. So much so that as soon as the queen let out the wind, hundreds of noble ladies came to say goodbye. There was even that cheeky guy, who came directly with the boys, looking at the ugly faces one by one, the little princess Lan Snow was so angry that she almost wanted to go crazy, anyway, the things in her room had been changed several times in a few days, and they were all smashed by her. If the queen hadn't had the foresight to send someone to watch her and take away all of her equipment, I'm afraid that she would have demolished the palace with the ice dragon.
But even so, the anger of the little princess Lan Snow made the queen have some scruples, and in the end the queen had to compromise, saying that she would only choose the right person for Lan Snow, and the final decision would be left to herself, which slightly made the little princess Lan Snow extinguish. It's just that this made the queen miserable, she tried hard to choose a bunch of candidates, all of which were denied by the little princess Lan Snow, which made her anxious, and she didn't know how to explain to so many noble ladies.
For the bad things of the royal family, the old evil is naturally too lazy to pay attention, he is now young and proud, and he is good all day long, in addition to sufficient practice time, he is left to play with a group of beautiful women.
On this day, the old evil accompanied Constany, Vivien and the little princess Lan Snow who had sneaked out, and played together for a day in his dreadnought castle on the Gobi, where the ptarmigans had come out of their shells, and they all looked as big as foals, and their furry was particularly fun. The young ptarmigans were so cute that the girls couldn't walk when they saw them, and they played with the birds almost all day until they returned to the magic tower. After dinner, the little princess Lan Snow reluctantly took a thunderbird that she forcibly asked to come over and set foot on the way back to the college dormitory. And the old evil is like a vicious tiger, holding the two beauties and rushing straight to the luxurious bathroom upstairs, intending to have a hand-to-hand combat inside.
That night, the old evil who had paid the public food for several hours hugged his beloved beauty and fell asleep. was sleeping incense, and suddenly there was a nervous footstep outside, and a person was running towards the old evil bedroom.
The old evil has profound skills, and he immediately woke up, his ears moved slightly, and then he heard from the footsteps that it was the old mage. The old evil suddenly frowned, and he said in his heart, it's almost three o'clock at night, why does this old guy come here without sleeping?
Before the old evil could react, the old mage had already come to the door, and he didn't even have time to talk nonsense in a hurry, he directly stretched out his hand, and a strong lightning bolt came out, directly shattering the exquisite magic wooden door, and then the old mage said angrily: "Stephen, come out and follow me!"
"Damn!" the old evil suddenly became furious, and while spreading out the quilt to block the exposed large skin of his two confidantes, he scolded angrily: "Old bastard, you are too old to act, and you dare to take advantage of my wife!"
"Fart!" The old mage was also furious when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Lao Tzu can still lift that!" Obviously, any man will not show weakness when he encounters such a problem involving the dignity of men.
"Can you still lift?" The old evil suddenly froze, and said with a shocked face: "You are almost 200 years old, can you still lift?"
"You~" The old mage was half dead by the old evil, but fortunately, he finally remembered his purpose, and no longer talked nonsense with the old evil, and said angrily: "Okay, I'm not here to discuss this issue with you, now you put on your clothes and go with me immediately, there are 100,000 urgent things to find you!"
Seeing that the old mage was so anxious, the old evil immediately put away his playfulness, and quickly put on his clothes, and said, "What kind of bullshit is that the third watch doesn't let people sleep in the middle of the night!"
"Big trouble, big trouble!" said the old mage anxiously, and at the same time he kept walking back and forth in the corridor, showing that the anxiety in his heart had reached an extreme.
The old evil was also shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out, and asked the old mage, "What the hell is the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Alas, it's hard to get in at a glance, you fly to the palace with me first, there are already people waiting for us there!" The old mage said while pulling the old evil outside, "If you have something to say, go there!"
Seeing that the old mage said solemnly, the old evil also knew that the matter must be extremely urgent, so he didn't ask much, and followed the old mage directly to the window, and then the two of them showed their magic powers and flew towards the palace together. The old mage used the flying technique of the wind system, and the old evil transformed into a Vermilion Bird, both of them were very fast, more than 10 miles away, and they would arrive in a while.
This time the matter was obviously so urgent that the old mage ignored the ban on flying over the palace, and flew directly into the palace with the old demon, landing on a brightly lit platform, and then the two entered a conference hall.
The old evil went in to take a look, and was stunned for a moment. It turned out that almost all the big names of the Griffin Country had come, not only the Five Law Saints, but also the Four Sword Saints, and the patriarchs of the various big families had also arrived, the emperor himself was at the top, and Catherine was at the bottom. There are only a dozen or so people, but they control almost all the rights of the griffin kingdom. Seeing this posture, how could the old evil not guess that something was wrong!
Although it was about three o'clock in the night, when the people were asleep, and all the people present were dragged out of the bed, none of them were sleepy, and their faces were heavy, as if they were frightened by some news.
After the old mage and the old evil entered, everyone immediately got up and responded, and the emperor was no exception. However, the old mage directly waved his hand to stop them, and then pushed the old evil down on the chair behind him and sat down, and he came to the other side of the emperor to sit down, and said at the same time: "It's an emergency, don't be polite!"
"It's fine!" the emperor and the others nodded, and hurriedly sat down one after another.
The old mage then said, "Your Majesty, how is the situation now?"
"Very bad, we still don't know where it came from!, and we haven't come up with any way to do it!" said the Emperor helplessly.
"Well, I understand!" the old mage nodded, then turned his face to the old evil and said, "Little Stephen, do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Nonsense, how do I know if you don't tell me?" said the old evil with a white look.
Seeing that the old evil dared to talk to the old mage like this, everyone was taken aback, but Catherine, who had known such a thing, smiled bitterly.
As for the old mage, he didn't care much, and then he said to the old evil in solemnity: "That's right, we just received a news at night that a powerful guy suddenly appeared in Parker Town, and he carried out a bloody massacre in Parker Town, and almost all of the more than 10,000 people in the town were killed. ”
"Ah, one person killed more than 10,000?" said the old evil in immediate surprise.
"That's right!" the old mage said solemnly: "This massacre happened two days ago, and after the incident, the people who ran out reported to the surrounding garrisons that the Third Army sent 20,000 regular troops, as well as more than a dozen accompanying mages, to exterminate him!"
"The result?" asked the old demon curiously.
"I got the news 2 hours ago, and they were all wiped out!" said the old mage in a heavy voice.
