The three veteran-level ministers of Donggu City, when they said their final goodbyes to His Majesty in the past few days, they were all entrusted by His Majesty Wesley, saying that he initially planned to pass on the position of city lord to his eldest son Cuien, but who exactly would pass it on to in the end, he would leave his will under the bed in the bedroom.

Theoretically, taking out the will and reading it in public requires the presence of the three heirs, but until Cui En came out of the farewell room, His Second Highness and Third Highness did not appear.

Fortunately, just when the important ministers were in a hurry, the Third Highness, accompanied by Ira's apostle Abby, finally arrived. Seeing that Aurora was carrying a large mutant head, the important ministers whispered for a while, and many of them had a look of regret on their faces, sighing that the Third Highness could even defeat a leader-level monster, but it was likely that he would not have a chance with the city lord.

After a few minutes, the second highness who was said to be going to repent behind closed doors finally arrived, this time she did not have those male pets who hugged back and forth, but only brought a maid, followed by a foreign female traveler, the female traveler held a sleeping child, but the male traveler who had been inseparable from her did not know where to go.

The Third Highness is still as irritable as ever, as if he is ready to pounce on and hit people at any time, but every time he wants to break out, he will look at Abby beside him, and then endure the anger, but the Second Highness, he can no longer see the charming smile on his face all day long, his face is only gloomy, and his eyes are now full of coldness.

As for His Royal Highness, who had just walked out of the farewell room, the important ministers found that he could no longer see his previous vanity and inferiority, and he was full of confidence in his gestures, as if he had changed people, which made everyone sigh, it seems that his father's death has completely matured His Highness.

The three Highnesses, as always, each occupied a corner, far away from the other two, and did not even glance at each other, but it didn't take long for Abby, who had never been to a similar occasion, to wave to the second Highness Sophie.

Sophie twisted her head as if she hadn't seen it, and it wasn't until the traveler next to her pushed her that she reluctantly walked towards Abby, but there was still no eye exchange for Aurora on the side. However, Aurora's eyes did not deliberately avoid Sophie, but stared at Sophie who was getting closer and closer, her eyes were fierce, and her fists were clenched tightly, so that some important ministers on the side subconsciously let go of a space.

"You just arrived." Abby's eyes rolled over Sophie's face and she said with a smirk, "I thought you weren't going to leave me today." ”

"Someone advised me to hide in the god store and not come out." Sophie said with a straight face, "They're guests invited directly by Ira, and I think it's right to listen to their advice." ”

"So you've been hiding in the hut since last night and won't come out? I thought you'd never want to live in it again when you grew up. Abby glanced at His Highness Cui En in the distance, "Are you really scared this time?" ”

Sophie didn't seem to hear it, and nodded lightly after a long time: "As long as I don't leave the temple, you and Ira can keep me safe, at least for now, so I didn't plan to come today." Heh, I received some news, which is not good for me, I don't want to be tortured to death, so I'd better hide and wait and see, so that at least when I really want to die, I still have time to solve it myself. ”

"Then why did you end up running out? And......" Abby glanced at the maid who followed Sophie, "and brought her out too, hiss...... This Báb. ”

"I know you're still asking." Sophie rolled her eyes, but sighed again and said, "Although I have been mentally prepared, but the old guy is really dead, I always feel uncomfortable, even if it is dangerous, I should come to send it." And I don't know why, I always felt that something was wrong, and today I felt very panicked, as if something very terrible was about to happen. ”

"Yes, indeed." Abby stared at His Highness from afar, and said with a wry smile, "I also feel that the situation is wrong, I haven't seen you for a few days, how can Cui En change so much, it's like a different person, the more you look at it, the more you look like Wesley." ”

"Huh? Has he changed? From Abby to the left and the right, Sophie and Aurora exclaimed at the same time, and the two subconsciously glanced at each other, both showing expressions of disgust, and each moved two steps to the side, hiding a little farther away from the other.

"Well, you can't see it, but I can." Abby shook her head in confusion and muttered, "I don't know if Babu is going well or not, Monica, do you have any news of him?" ”

She asked, gesturing to Anna, who was still asleep.

Monica's eyebrows furrowed, and she shook her head worriedly: "There should be no accident, otherwise it wouldn't be so peaceful." However, it is said that Cui En has come out, and he should come back too, is there something delayed? Or ......"

Muttering in a low voice, Monica looked around with a covert movement, but unfortunately, she didn't see the shadow of Babu.

"Shhhh At first, it was only a small area that quieted down, but the scope expanded rapidly, and soon, the entire vestibule of the castle was completely quiet, and the three old senators slowly walked out of the depths of the second floor of the castle under the gaze of everyone, one in the middle holding a scroll, and the other two followed left and right, and the three of them went straight to the high-profile platform before stopping.

"Please come to the stage."

Hearing the shouts of the ceremonial officer, the four important ministers who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped onto the platform, and the others Monica didn't know any of them, and the only one they recognized was General Matthew, who was still fighting together on the edge not long ago. Seeing Matthew, Monica was stunned, her eyes patrolled the crowd, and sure enough, many senior officers were also among the witnesses, and some of them nodded in response to Monica's eye contact.

Under everyone's gaze, the four witnesses took the scroll and examined it one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem with the fire paint and seal on it, they returned it to the most senior patriarch at the head. The old man's gaze swept over the faces of the three highnesses one by one, and then his hands trembled slightly, and he carefully uncovered the fire paint of the scroll.

As the scroll unfolded little by little, the faces of the old people who almost forgot to breathe turned red, and they finally read all the words on the scroll. Then, the old people Huo Ran raised his head and looked at the three highnesses in turn again, this time it was the turn of the important ministers in the audience who forgot to breathe, everyone stared at the mouths of the three elders worriedly, and there was silence up and down the high platform for an instant.

"After our identification, it is indeed His Majesty's handwriting, and His Majesty's pen is still so powerful, it is impossible to tell that it was written when he was dying." The three old men sighed deeply and sighed slightly, and then raised the scroll in their hands, "Your Majesty's decree, after he sleeps, will pass the position of city lord to his eldest son, Baron Cuien, and this order will take effect immediately after His Majesty's sleep." ”

At this moment, the field was quieter, no one made a sound, and almost everyone looked at Baron Trine in the audience, no, it should be called His Majesty Trine now.

Baron Trine clasped his hands on his chest, with a faint smile on his face, nodded to the important ministers who came over, and then walked towards the high platform, his steps were not hurried or slow, and he was quite steady.

Walking up to the high platform, he took the scroll from the hands of the patriarchs, and raised it to the important ministers below, and the crowd immediately erupted in a tidal wave of cheers, although the important ministers had different expressions, but the cheers were louder and louder, and the cries were deafening and intensified.

Knowing that His Majesty Cui En raised his hand, the cheers stopped abruptly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after decades of hard work for Donggu City, His Majesty the City Lord can finally rest at ease. In the past few decades, with the assistance of all the pillars, Your Majesty has made Donggu City more and more prosperous, which is Your Majesty's merit and your merit. Now Your Majesty is resting, but we who are alive can't rest yet, Donggu City still needs us, and the citizens of Donggu City also need us to fight for them, we can't rest yet, and we have to continue to dedicate ourselves to them. ”

"Your Majesty is a rare genius, and every one of his decrees is as precious as gold, and it is by virtue of these decrees that Donggu City is prosperous today. Therefore, although you can rest assured, the policies left by Your Majesty will not change, what was before, and what will be in the future. ”

There was a loud applause below, and Monica could even hear it, and many people in the crowd breathed a long sigh of relief.

"No, there are changes." Cui En seemed to suddenly remember something, and added, "The monitoring team is a loyal army created by His Majesty during his lifetime, and the safe and stable life in Donggu City now depends on the selfless dedication of the inspection team, in order to reward you, and for the future peace of Donggu City, in the future, the budget of your inspection team will be doubled, and the captain will be promoted to baron." ”

"Hey, thank you for your care." One of the four important ministers who came to the stage to inspect the scroll before slowed his breath, and bowed deeply to Cui En excitedly, "In the future, our monitoring team will definitely be loyal to you as loyal to your former majesty, be your most loyal servant, and find out every rebel who is disrespectful to you." ”

"And Matthew, my general." Cui En turned to Matthew, who looked sad, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although the pro-guard team has lost a lot of manpower, it doesn't matter, in the future, I still need you to be loyal to me as before, and slowly recover the lost troops." By the way, I heard you killed that mutant? Well done, tomorrow I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you, and treat you well. ”

"Your Majesty, allegiance to Donggu City is the responsibility of every member of the Guard. We have only fulfilled our duty to defend the city with our lives, and we do not deserve to be rewarded or rewarded. Matthew still had that expressionless face, and said in a deep voice, "Moreover, His Majesty Wesley has just slept peacefully, and it is really not suitable to hold another celebration banquet, Your Majesty, please think about it again." ”

"Hahaha, that's a good point, I like your loyalty." Cui En laughed loudly, didn't insist any longer, he let go of Matthew, walked to the middle of the platform a few times, raised his hand and said loudly to the important ministers below, "Okay, all the pillars of Donggu City, since His Majesty Wesley entrusted me with the position of the city lord, then I will not shirk, from today onwards, I will be the new city lord of Donggu City." ”

"Long live His Majesty the City Lord, long live His Majesty Cui En!" Dozens of important ministers raised their arms in the vestibule and chanted, all shouting the same name.

"Shut up, you father-killing traitor."

Just when Cui Enzhi was enjoying the cheers that he couldn't get tired of hearing, a familiar voice suddenly burst into his ears. The sound came from all directions and appeared to be the amplification equipment of the vestibule. At the same time, another voice of the same sounded from the depths of the second floor, this one was much weaker, but the voice was extremely familiar, His Majesty the new city lord felt that he must have heard it often, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, but after careful identification, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart beat wildly.

He remembered that it was his own voice, which he heard every day, and of course it was incomparably familiar.

Not only did he react, but all the important ministers realized whose voice it was at this time, and the cheers stopped instantly, and everyone stared blankly in the direction of the depths of the second floor.

Footsteps sounded, and a bloated figure gradually revealed its tracks from the shadows deep on the second floor.

It was one man carrying another man, and below was of course Báb, and the one who was being carried was the old city lord 'Wesley', who was supposed to be dead. The old city lord's face was gray at this time, his voice was weak, and he obviously couldn't support it for long, but he still held on to his eyes and stared at Cui En opposite. And the person carrying him on his back was holding a round device to his mouth, the important ministers had seen it, this was the amplification equipment that the old city lord had put in the room before, and he was the one who used it when the Second Legion was mobilized in front of the station before, but he didn't expect it to be used again so soon.

Everyone was stunned, even Abby, who had always been calm and composed, stood in the audience stunned and speechless, and the complacent Cui En was even more stunned, and the person he killed with his own hands came out alive again, and accused himself of killing his father, which made him stunned for a long time before he said everyone's heart: "You, aren't you dead?" I personally checked it. ”

"Wesley's" weak voice spread throughout the vestibule with the help of amplification equipment: "Everyone, it's him, it's Trien, he secretly harmed me when I suddenly became critically ill, and ......"

"Stop him, Matthew, shut him up."

'Treen' habitually gave orders, but Matthew looked at the old city lord and then at the young highness, standing still and motionless.

"And I didn't die at all just now, I had already woken up, and he covered me with a pillow with his own hands, or if His Excellency Babu had saved me, I would have been covered by him. Cui En, you father-killing rebel, don't think about it. ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he, he...... Snack, let your people give it to me. Cui En's gaze turned to the captain of the monitoring team again, and shouted, "I have succeeded to the throne, and now I am the city lord, don't forget my promise just now." ”

The gloomy Inspector Captain hesitated for a moment, but nodded, and in the confusion, several men dressed as servants quickly approached the increasingly weakened Wesley, but before they could get close, several people appeared next to Wesley and Babu, protecting them in the middle.

"Protect Your Majesty." Matthew finally moved, and it was he and several of his high-ranking officers who were protecting Wesley, and although they were not armed with weapons, they all clenched their fists and glared viciously at the spies who did not dare to approach.

"Cui En, we have all sworn allegiance to Your Majesty, and as long as Your Majesty is alive, he will be the city lord of Donggu City, not you." Matthew scolded loudly, "You actually killed your father and killed your relatives, and now after the conspiracy is revealed, you still want to provoke a rebellion." Hmph, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let him hurt you again. ”

'Cuien' opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, and with Matthew joining, the scene became more and more chaotic.
