----------------------------------- gorgeous dividing line-----------------------------------------------

Also at the beginning of December of the 6th year of the Demon Martial Calendar, a war broke out in the East Dragon Empire in the east of the Garland Continent. The Yu family, the most powerful family in Donglong, staged a coup d'état without warning. The Yu family relied on several god-level masters and more than a dozen saint-level masters to carry out this operation, and it went very smoothly, but the final outcome was beyond people's expectations.

The coup d'état in the Eastern Dragon Empire occurred almost at the same time as the outbreak of war between unknown races in the Demon Empire.

On December 2, the second prince of the Donglong Empire went to the northwest of the empire to hunt, and that night, he heard about the assassination of the second prince. The assassin was a master whose strength had reached the high level of the Holy Rank, but unfortunately, the assassin's assassination was unsuccessful, and this Saint-level Assassin was killed by the master of the guard who killed out of nowhere.

On December 2, the eldest prince Long Tianyu was assassinated at the Imperial Capital Academy, and the assassins successfully attacked and killed, and the head of the eldest prince was cut off, and the assassin retreated with the head of the eldest prince. On the same day, another group of assassins suddenly appeared inside the palace and assassinated the three princes of the Eastern Dragon Empire in one fell swoop, the eldest of whom was no more than six years old, and the youngest who had just turned a year old, were also beheaded.

After the assassins assassinated the three princes, all but one of them were captured and poisoned and died, and several others fled. Judging from the strength of these assassins, there was one god-level assassin and two saint-level assassins, and there were six assassins below the saint level. Upon learning of this, Emperor Long Xiaoyun was furious and sent several masters to hunt down the Assassin and offer a hefty reward for his capture.

Subsequently, it was discovered that the Assassins had appeared in the towns in the western part of the empire closest to the Celestial Empire, and had fled into the Celestial Empire with a swagger. In anger, the emperor of the Eastern Dragon Empire, Long Xiaoyun, lost his judgment and decided that this was the Celestial Empire's black hand and wanted to destroy the inheritance of the Eastern Dragon. Except for the second prince Long Mingyu, who was hunting outside, and the fifth prince Long Xingyu, who had not returned to Donglong for a long time, the rest of the princes were assassinated. This made Long Xiaoyun furious, and immediately, Long Xiaoyun gathered millions of soldiers from the five major legions and went to the western border, with the possibility of war with the Celestial Empire at any time.

On December 3rd, the eldest prince Long Tianyu suddenly appeared in the Imperial Capital Academy, which surprised everyone, and after that, someone revealed that the eldest prince did not go out the day before, and the "eldest prince" who was attacked and killed was actually just one of Long Tianyu's attendants, and the two were both master servants and friends. There is also an interesting story in this, when Long Tianyu was studying at the Imperial Capital Academy, because he disdained the course arrangement, he often let his attendant take the class on his behalf, while he himself stayed in the dormitory to study. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, they do not know who the real prince is.

In this assassination, it happened that the eldest prince skipped class again, and this servant went to class on his behalf, because he was mistaken by the assassin and killed. This result can't help but make people feel emotional. (Attention to children's shoes, do not click on behalf of others in class in the future, so as to avoid similar incidents!)

Long Tianyu, who escaped the catastrophe, did not know that he had already walked in front of the Ghost Gate, but he did not wait for his servant to return on the evening of the third day, so he went out to look for it on the second day, and at this time, he knew that an assassin was going to assassinate him. And that servant became his substitute for the dead, and was slaughtered.

As a result, after Long Tianyu appeared, he disappeared again and disappeared. In the palace, no one saw the eldest prince go back again, which made many people speculate whether the eldest prince was assassinated.

On December 5, a horrific coup d'état broke out in the Eastern Dragon Empire. The Jade family, known as the backbone of the empire, took advantage of the five major legions of the empire to present troops on the frontier, and the other three legions were stationed in the north and south, which led to a void in the defense of the entire empire.

At the same time, the Yu family colluded with the Imperial City Garrison Corps, which guarded the safety of the imperial capital, and the "Xuanyue Legion", which guarded the side of the imperial capital all year round, to launch a military coup. In the early morning of December 5, the gate of the imperial city was quietly opened, and countless soldiers of the "Xuanyue Legion" stole into the imperial city and waited for an opportunity to ambush. However, due to the clever arrangement, the matter was not known to the emperor.

Therefore, in the early dynasty, a large number of imperial officials were still in the early court, completely unaware that an earth-shattering conspiracy was quietly going on.

Originally, if things developed according to plan, the original plan of the Yu family was to cut off all the royal members of the empire, and lead the troubles to the west, and blame everything on the Heavenly Empire. As we all know, the Celestial Empire covets the prosperity and fertile soil of the Eastern Dragon, and the biggest suspicion in the event of an assassination is the Celestial Empire. With a little guidance, they were able to turn the Emperor's attention to the Celestial Empire. At that time, after the loss of his beloved son, Long Xiaoyun would inevitably lose his judgment, and if he was eager for revenge, he was likely to use troops against the Heavenly Empire. Among the emperor's ** regiments, four were stationed at the edge of the imperial capital, and under the interference of the Yu family, two were eventually sent to the border, so that the two legions left behind were controlled by the Yu family's cronies.

If the Yu family wants to launch a coup d'état, it is likely to attract the three surrounding empires to intervene, and when the time comes, it may be invaded and eventually make wedding clothes for others, which is not cost-effective.

The Ice and Snow Empire in the north is not too strong, and a legion of the empire stationed on the border is fully capable of defending it, and the same is true for the south. The biggest threat is the Celestial Empire. Prior to this, through a series of schemes, it was actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone. First, the regiments that are not under his control will be transferred away so that the coup d'état can be carried out. Second, if a coup d'état occurs, and the Celestial Empire wants to intervene sideways, the several legions stationed on the border will be able to resist a little, and at the same time drag the Celestial Emperor's ** team, but also drag the empire's army. Moreover, if the two sides are at war, the loss will inevitably be large. This is more conducive to the seizure of power.

The final step of the plan was to seize power by force in the imperial capital. The plan of the Yu family was to take advantage of the emperor's early dynasty to discuss politics, wave the army to surround the palace, directly force the palace, let the emperor give in, and then cut it off.

The two major legions in the imperial city, the garrison legion are controlled by the Yu family, and although the Guards legion is strong, the number is too small. And the Yu family has received the help of the mysterious organization, and it is still very easy to deal with these soldiers of the Guards Legion. As long as the Guards Legion is resolved, the entire palace will become undefended, and at that time, the entire royal family will inevitably be baptized in blood. Once the royal bloodline is lost, the other legions of the empire want to restore the country, and they will have no support.

And if the palace is successful, if the emperor concedes, the Yu family can be regarded as "justifiable" to seize the imperial power, even if the major garrison corps of the empire are not satisfied, but there is no way, at most they will make a princes, but the Yu family has two-thirds of the peak force of the empire, even if those people want to break away, the final outcome is difficult to change. As long as the Yu family sends strong people to encircle and suppress, those legions will be difficult to deal with. Of course, the people of the Yu family never thought of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

Although the plan is very good, there will always be accidents, the second prince Long Mingyu suddenly proposed to go out hunting two days before the Yu family was preparing to act, although many ministers opposed the prince going out to hunt, but Long Xiaoyun had his own considerations. Therefore, Long Mingyu left the imperial capital smoothly.

If Long Mingyu is not assassinated, even if his Jade Family succeeds in seizing power, there are still people who can launch a counterattack with the rest of the empire's legions, and when the time comes, even if there are many peak masters of his Jade Family, how many people can he destroy. Yes, the assassination plan was temporarily changed, because Long Mingyu was out of the imperial capital, he was attacked and killed in the middle of the road, and he could also be perfectly blamed, so the assassination of Long Mingyu was carried out in advance.

But what people didn't expect was that a saint-level mid-level hired by the Yu family from the alliance at this moment was discovered and killed at this moment. This news is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Yu family. I wanted to continue to send people to assassinate, but thinking that the saint-level masters had been killed, there must be a master guarding Long Mingyu's voice, in order not to reveal the true purpose, and in order to be able to successfully transfer the target to the Heavenly Empire, the Yu family suspended the assassination of Long Mingyu.

The next day, the assassins lurking in the capital of the Eastern Dragon Emperor successfully assassinated the four princes, including the eldest prince, of course, they did not know that the assassinated eldest prince was fake. However, this move still achieved the purpose of bringing disaster to the west. Enraged, the emperor mobilized five legions and headed to the west to prepare for war against the Celestial Empire.

Subsequently, on the fifth day, the Yu family colluded with a mysterious organization and surrounded the palace, preparing to seize power in one fell swoop when the early dynasty was in place.

However, on this day, the empress had good news, after the loss of several princes, the emperor attached great importance to the fetus that could be born, so the early dynasty was also postponed. Such a coincidental situation also made the Yu family's plan fall through.

At the same time, a little eunuch on duty accidentally spied the "Xuanyue Legion" ambush around the palace, and the smart little eunuch immediately realized that the situation was not good, and he was heartily protected. And this also made Long Xiaoyun realize that everything was caused by someone behind the scenes, but it was too late to find someone to escort him at this moment, so Long Xiaoyun gathered with the queen and all the concubines, and withdrew to the direction of the cold palace, and let Ling Ri lead the guards to escort him.

The Yu family's spies in the palace reported the emperor's actions to Yu Zhongtian, and knowing that his actions were exposed, he immediately decided to launch a strong attack, and ordered his subordinates to control the Manchu civil and military palace, and then sent people to surround the ministers' mansions, so as to force these ministers to submit. But except for a few who surrendered, the rest of the people would rather die than give in. Yu Zhongtian, who was angry, sent people to take these ministers up and wait for the success of seizing power before cleaning them up.

Subsequently, Yu Zhongtian personally led the "Xuanyue Legion" to attack the palace, but it was also greatly hindered by the Guards Legion.

However, all these obstacles, after the "Evil Fire Guard" and "Evil Wind Guard" joined, were quickly cleared, and they were fought until the front of the cold palace, where they encountered the main force of the Guards Legion, and a large-scale battle broke out between the two sides.

During the battle, Ling Ri, the commander of the Guards, suddenly fled, leaving the Guards Legion leaderless, and then, under the joint strangulation of the "Xuanyue Legion", the "Evil Fire Guard" and the "Evil Wind Guard", it only took a quarter of an hour to bury the entire Guards Legion.

opened the passage, and Yu Zhongtian led people to search for the emperor and the others comfortably, but then something happened that made him dumbfounded. searched the entire palace, but he didn't find the emperor and the concubines, but only found more than a thousand eunuchs and palace ladies in the cold palace. After the inquiry was fruitless, Yu Zhongtian became angry and immediately had these eunuchs and palace e's children slaughtered.

Immediately, Yu Zhongtian led his subordinates to dig three feet into the ground, wanting to find out the whereabouts of the emperor and others, but unfortunately, even if countless secret passages were found, there was still no trace of the emperor and others, which also led to the failure of this power seizure.

Long Xiaoyun is not dead, the eldest prince and the second prince are not dead, a series of coincidences have made this coup a big joke. Although the Yu family controls everything in the imperial capital, as long as the emperor Long Xiaoyun escapes and ascends to heaven, he will inevitably lead a large army to return to the imperial capital, and when the time comes, something will be wrong for his Yu family. In the madness, Yu Zhongtian mobilized all his cronies, put the entire imperial capital under martial law, searched door to door, and sent people to find the secret exit, because the time was very short, and with the concubines, the Yu family judged that the emperor and others did not go far, and his Yu family because there are several god-level masters, as long as all directions are guarded, it is possible to intercept the emperor. And this became the only chance for his jade family.

In fact, they finally found the traces of the emperor and his party on the East China Sea, and immediately, the three god-level masters of the Yu family rushed over and wanted to attack and kill the emperor and others, but they were blocked. The hidden forces within the royal family also surfaced, and the two royal ancestors appeared, and they were all masters with god-level strength, barely blocking the three god-level masters who rushed over, and then, the imperial national teacher rushed from the imperial capital, and the national teacher with the peak strength of the god level directly hit the three god-level masters of the Yu family.

However, then reinforcements from the Yu family's side arrived, and they were the two Venerables in the mysterious organization. is also the pinnacle of the god level, in the case of two to one, this national teacher also has only the power to parry, and in the end, with the help of the two god-level masters of the royal family, the three of them fought and retreated, covering the emperor and his party to escape to the sea.

Chasing and killing all the way, the two god-level peak masters finally forced the royal family into the "Sea of Red Flames", and at this time, thunderstorms broke out in this dangerous land, and under the huge waves, the ship that Long Xiaoyun was riding was blown into the depths of the sea, and there was no trace of it. The five god-level masters in the battle had no intention of continuing to fight. The national teacher and the two royal god-level masters were anxious, and immediately ignored the danger and followed the direction in which the ship disappeared. And the two god-level peak masters were afraid of the "Sea of Red Flames", so they guarded the periphery for a day and a night.

On the second day, an earthquake erupted at the bottom of the "Red Sea", which subsequently triggered a tsunami. In this case, the two god-level peak masters naturally believed that all the people who had fled from the Donglong royal family had been killed, and then evacuated from here.

Although they did not really witness the death of the emperor, the Yu family was still a little relieved, as long as they found two more princes and removed them, Donglong would still be in their pocket in the end. As for the fifth prince Long Xingyu, the young man who assassinated the second son of his Yu family, Sun Gen, was the fifth prince, and they had already found out about this, and they only succeeded in that assassination, but they didn't know that the mysterious organization had not really confirmed this. Not to mention the "magic sword" that has risen in the past two years, which is the object they thought they would have killed a long time ago.

gradually controlled the development of the situation, and as a result, the Yu family's assassination of Long Mingyu was launched again. At the same time, the search for Long Tianyu also began.
