When I returned to Lingnan City, it was early in the morning, and the sky was overcast, cloudy and heavy.

In the square of the palace, fully armed cultivators in practice armor were performing their routine morning drills, fighting with their swords, or riding horses to cut down wooden dummies.

The moment they saw Qi Rusong come back, they all stopped and stared at him for a long time.

He also noticed that several of the warriors were holding on to the hilt of their swords, as if they were about to draw their swords. Is this made for me to see? Qi Rusong thought to himself, what are they trying to do? Attacking me? If so, then the father must be in danger.

Soon after, Qi Rusong came to his father's bedroom, but the king of the south was not there.

The study, the hall, I searched all over the place, but I couldn't find him.

At this moment, several of Qi Rubai's guard captains came towards him; "Little prince, the prince is gone! May Heaven let him rest in peace! ”

"What? Let's go! Qi Rusong's feet were weak, and he took a few steps back, but fortunately, the soldiers behind him supported him and did not fall.

Along the way, there were countless possibilities and countless endings in his mind, but the most fearful thing happened. "How is that possible! You're lying! ”

"Little prince," the captain of the guard blinked, "the prince... No, the King of the South wants you to go to the throne room now! ”

What a [King of the South]!

Qi Rusong glared at the comer, eager to immediately knock him to the ground and ask for the truth.

And the other party had no fear, and his tone was calm and resolute. "Little Lord, please go to the throne hall immediately."

"Watch your words!" Qi Tai's personal soldiers reprimanded. "Is this the attitude of talking to the master?"

The captain of the guard gave them a cold look, and then made a gesture of please. "Please!"

Qi Tai's personal captain helped Qi Rusong to the throne hall, and the other two groups of people followed closely behind each other.

Wearing chain mail and steel helmets, the guards of Lingnan City waited outside the hall in two columns. The guards escorted them through the square, their gray capes crackling in the wind.

Elder Qin greeted him at the door of the hall, he was wearing a richly carved black and gold armor and a refined helmet under his arm.

When he saw Qi Rusong, he looked nervous.

"Old Qin, what's wrong with my father? Did something happen to him? ”

"Lord Wang... It's gone..."

It's gone? Why!!

Old Qin won't lie, my father is not dead! This time, we must not spare these rebellious ministers and thieves!

The governor of the palace led them in. "Welcome to the little prince!" He chanted aloud.

There was still a long way to go from the other end of the hall, and Qi Rubai was sitting on the throne waiting for him. Qi Rusong walked slowly towards the self-proclaimed king-proclaimed brother, followed by the others.

Qi Rubai's guards were all present, a total of seven people. It surrounds him in the shape of a crescent. They were heavily armed and draped from head to toe in elaborate armor helmets.

Behind the throne, there were twenty Lingnan City guards with long swords hanging from their waists. Without exception, they all owe allegiance to Qi Rubai.

But the previous deployment of Qitai is now effective. On both sides of the wall, there are quite a few mercenaries. Each of them had a sword in his hand, and he was ready for anything, and there were five times as many people as the palace guards.

When Qi Rusong stopped, the new "King of the South" stood up. "Do you plead guilty?" He asked.

"Confession? What kind of charges are you going to impose on me! Qi Rusong scoffed.

"Colluding with the demon clan, stealing my Qi clan's ancestral divine weapon, murdering my biological father, and intending to rebel!" A middle-aged nobleman shouted.

Without waiting for Qi Rusong to have any response, he began to list his "crimes" at the right time!" The demon sword dragon light in your hand is the ancestral divine weapon of the Qi family, and it should be inherited by the prince, and it must be obtained by your theft! Elder Qin, the other crimes are up to you! ”

Qin Lao? A cold hand grabbed Qi Rusong's heart. He also betrayed us?

Then these mercenaries are the elder brother's men!!

"Yes, lord!" Qin Wu stepped forward, "Qi Rusong has been plotting to seize the throne of Lingnan City. Qi Tai's most trusted person began to state, "Since the first king was seriously ill, the little prince began to plot how to get rid of the first king.

Before that, this villain even used the demon sword dragon light in his hand to stab into the abdomen of the former king under the pretext of treating injuries. If it weren't for the old decay to see the clues, the previous king would have been killed by him a long time ago! ”

How can I make it up like this... Qi Rusong sneered.

"His next step is to murder the princess, and then you, the prince, so that he can replace him. After a while, he wanted to kill Lord Marven of the Southern Demon Hunting Gate and make himself the ruler of the Southern Realm. ”

"How do you know so much?" Qi Rubai asked, "Why did he leak the plan to you Xie Lu?" ”

"Because he took my grandson and threatened me. I pretended to do the same, just to collect evidence and expose the wolf ambitions of this villain! ”

Qi Rubai smiled with satisfaction, "Then why did he do this?" ”

"Because when he was in the Ghost Forest, he fell in love with the demon girl!" Qin Lao Dao.

"Oh? What kind of demon girl can make me, the royal brother who regards glory as his life, do these things that are inferior to beasts? ”

Su Yu? They found her!!

At this time, the governor of the palace waved his hand, and the door opened again.

His wife was brought into the throne hall by several cultivators, and every eye focused on her.

"Su Yu!" Qi Rusong called loudly. He walked towards her, his boots clanging on the stone floor. She screamed at the sight of him, and then began to sobble and cry.

He took her into his arms, and she trembled. "Brother Qi!" She sobbed.

"How are you?" He said that she looked so weak in his arms, "Have you ever been hurt?" ”

"Nope." She looked terrified, tears leaving pink marks on her cheeks.

"They will pay the price," Qi Rusong said angrily, and then he stood up to face the [King of the South]. "If you come at me, what kind of man is bullying a weak woman?"

"Weak woman? Brother Wang, she is not a weak woman! Qi Rubai said with a smile, "The power of this demon girl's [Snow Demon] can hurt many of me. ”

"Don't talk nonsense with him, this beast just kissed me with the demon girl, and I have all seen it." A nobleman with a pimple on his face said, "These two have already hooked up with each other. ”

"No, nothing happened to us! I love him, but he's a demon hunter, and I can't harm him..."

"You lived in a tent, lonely men and women, and nothing happened? Could it be that our little prince in the south is a T prisoner? ”

"No, it's not a lonely man, there's a demon hunter named Stone Snake. Two men and one woman, hahaha! ”

Qin Lao was the first to laugh, and the head of the palace also joined in, followed by the incalculable old men and ladies. The sudden commotion spread like a hurricane until the entire throne room began to shake. ”

"No... He's not! "The girl has become incoherent.

"He's not?" The palace steward laughed again, "How did you know?" ”

"I've seen it when I take off my pants!" One of the lords said that their laughter doubled at this point. Their mouths contorted in joy, their stomachs trembled, and many laughed so hard that snot splashed out of their nostrils.

I fought with my life against the demon clan in the Ghost Shadow Forest, but in exchange for such a despicable insult from you! The magnates in the throne hall, except for Qi Rubai, everyone was laughing at him. At least the brother doesn't look like he's smiling.

"Silence, silence!" Qi Rubai raised a hand. Slowly, the hall fell silent.

"There is no need to find any more witnesses for collusion with the demon clan!" Qi Rubai said, "And your private cultivation [soul]!" and many other evil deeds. ”

Qi Rusong remained silent, witness? If I say yes, he'll make me some.

"What do you have to say now?" Qi Rubai stared at himself with those cold and arrogant eyes.

"It's nothing more than trying to kill me, the strong people of the Great Xia Kingdom are respected, is it necessary to fabricate so many crimes?" Qi Rusong sneered. "I just want to ask you, what happened to my father?"

"You killed him, and you're coming to ask us?" The main pipeline of the palace.

"Humph!" Seeing the faces of these people, Qi Rusong didn't want to talk to them anymore.

"The person standing in the audience pies his sin?"

"Su Yu is my wife, and I have a husband and wife with her! I broke the oath of the Demon Hunter Gate, and nothing else... I haven't done it. He turned his face to the hall and faced the wicked people.

"You say that I colluded with the demon clan, I really regret that I didn't bring the demon clan to Lingnan City. The only thing I regret about you is that I can't be the monster you imagined I am.

You have harmed my father and my wife, and you have left me no choice! I demand the restoration of the oldest law of my Qi clan, and I ask for the [Swing Judgment]! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

[Swing Judgment] is a rule set by the ancestors of the Qi family. It is a method of adjudicating and resolving disputes.

Unlike the duel of the Hades Sect. [Swing Trial] can only be proposed by the Qi family, and civilians do not enjoy this right. The process of the trial is not a one-on-one fair duel, but the defendant alone meets the challenge of the entire Lingnan City in the ring.

Not only that, but the number of people who can challenge each time can even reach three. It can be said that such a trial is completely suicidal choice!

If the defendant wins the [Swing Trial], it will successfully defeat all the challengers. Then the tradition of respecting the strong man of the Great Xia Kingdom, this person will become the new king of the Southern Realm!

"Have you lost your mind?" Qi Rubai shouted.

"No, I finally found it. I demand [Swing Judgment]!"

For a long time, Qi Ribai's face was so gloomy that Qi Rusong felt that his brother felt like he had drunk poisoned wine. He slammed his fist on the table with a thud, unable to speak with anger.

The commotion became deafening. Qi Rusong felt very happy;

"In that case, according to the rules of my Qi clan, the trial will be held next month!" He turned to the throne room and announced, "That's it for today! ”

He gave his brother a cold, angry look, and strode out of the hall, his own soldiers following.

When I become King of the South, you will all pay for it!!
