Chapter 83: The Catwalk
The news of Di Xue's second assassination was concealed by the imperial side with all its might, after all, the assassination of the royal family members was really enough to cause a sensation in the empire, and the last time the matter of the knight's cemetery made the entire empire shake and uneasy, and there was another royal assassination case in a short period of time.
The movement in the knight's cemetery was too big, and most of the students and teachers of the Divine Law Academy saw the royal distress signal sent by Emperor Xue in distress in the sky, and it was impossible to suppress the news, but this time the incident was empty around the Dragon Crack Canyon, and the battle of the Night Forest happened in the middle of the night, so under the drastic means of Captain Richard's Xu Bo, there was no news at all.
However, the fact that the large airship that Di Xue was riding in fell into the Dragon Crack Canyon could not be concealed, and the appearance of the Royal Guards in Red Maple Town had already attracted the attention of the townspeople and Rift Valley City.
In this regard, the explanation released by Captain Richard is: The eldest prince went to Xiyue Province to play, and the airship he was riding when he returned to Eternal City was struck by lightning and fell in a fire, and the eldest prince parachuted to escape without being harmed.
Drag the blessing of the large-scale rainstorm in the Xiyue Province, although the rain has stopped in the Heroic Soul Plain in the past few days, there are still rain clouds gathering sometimes, and the Dragon Crack Canyon is so big, no one knows if there was really thunder that night, so the statement of this lightning strike is quite reasonable.
The only one who knew the truth, the staff members on the airship who survived, had been secretly charged by the royal guards for investigation, and the guards naturally did not talk much under Di Xue's gag order, so the news of the assassination was silently blocked.
On the second day of Taylor's departure, the city lord of Rift Valley City got the news and rushed to Red Maple Town to meet Di Xue, Di Xue naturally met him, except for his pale face did not show a trace of injury, although the city lord was a little strange Di Xue's face was not very good, but he was relieved to think of the rumors that Di Xue had been weak and sick since he was a child, and he had just been frightened by the airship crash.
The city lord of Rift Valley invited Di Xue to move to the city lord's mansion of Rift City, and he also set up a banquet to entertain Di Xue, Di Xue was very moved, and then rejected him, first, he didn't want others to see the signs of his injury, and second, he wanted to be quiet, so he politely refused Captain Richard's statement that "seeing the pleasant scenery of Red Maple Town, I am ready to stay in the town for a few days".
Although the city lord of Rift Valley City was very regretful, he did not dare to go against Di Xue's wishes, and Shi Shiran went back to the city.
After the city lord left, Di Xue received an encrypted letter from Princess Dilan's Tong Guò Space Information Transmission Array, in which Her Royal Highness the princess began to express condolences and care about Di Xue's injury, and a large part of the middle was gossiping about the progress of Di Xue's relationship with Taylor, and finally said that since Di Xue had disclosed her whereabouts, then the royal family members must have royal prestige when traveling, and she had asked Di Xue's royal guard of honor to prepare, and she would come to Hongfeng Town tomorrow to pick up Di Xue back, and let him wait obediently, if he dared to make his own decisions again, be careful to come back and be spanked.
Di Xue quickly replied to Princess Dilan, at the beginning saying that her injuries were not serious, and she was about to heal under the healing of her magic, and she was very ruthless in the middle of not satisfying the gossip of Her Royal Highness the princess**, and at the end she promised to wait for the honor guard for the sake of her ass
The classification of royal ceremonial guards is complex, from the emperor to the prince and princess, the rules and specifications are different, and there are different configurations for different occasions and uses.
Like the prince's honor guard that Di Xue is now using, the specifications are generally more than 200 and less than 500 royal guards, 36 royal ceremonial musicians, eight flag bearers and a single dragon emperor.
In fact, Princess Dilan had to let Di Xue take the prince's honor guard back to Eternal City, in addition to the so-called royal prestige, there was another reason.
In less than a month, there were two assassinations against Di Xue in succession, which was a stern provocation to the majesty of the imperial family, although the truth of the second airship incident was temporarily concealed, ordinary people may believe the lightning strike, and some people may not necessarily believe it.
Ordinary people only need a plausible argument to be content, and as for other things, they don't care, because they can't afford to care.
Maybe some smart people can find out a trace of suspicion, but it doesn't matter, because the airship crash of His Royal Highness the Great Prince belongs to a current event, and the biggest feature of current events is that it will be forgotten with time.
But those who have the ability to care about the affairs of the royal family, they will not forget any major events that happened to the royal family over time, these people are the group of people who live at the top of the empire, they have huge power or financial resources or power in their hands, they can have a position today, it means that none of them are idiots, and the last thing they believe in is coincidence.
It just so happened that the eldest prince had just been assassinated in the knight's cemetery, and when the eldest prince went to Xiyue Province after the assassination and came back, there happened to be a thundercloud floating on the eldest prince's airship in the Dragon Crack Canyon, and it happened that a thunderbolt fell and struck the eldest prince's airship......
Is there really such a coincidence in this world......
Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway.
It is true that with the ability of the imperial family and the ability to lean on the column, I am not afraid of the patriarchs of these big families, or these people who hold great power in the imperial government and the opposition, what do you suspect, you are good people in the empire, but no matter how big you are, can you have your majesty? No matter how high you stand, can you be taller than the Tower of Eternity?
However, human curiosity is always very strong, because they don't believe, so they are curious, and because they are curious, the more they want to understand the truth of things.
In order to prevent some unnecessary trouble, it is still necessary to carry out some deterrence.
Therefore, Princess Dilan's other reason was to let Di Xue use the majesty of the royal honor guard to tell this group of people two things.
First: I'm fine, nothing happens, and since I'm so good and nothing, nothing can happen when the airship crashes.
Second: Whether you believe it or not, because my surname is emperor, you have to believe what I say.
All in all, Di Xue's next return trip is actually to have a high-profile catwalk.
