Chapter 224 Assassination of the new prince
For an empire, no matter which era it is, there are only two times when it is the most lively and solemn. One is the new emperor's ascension ceremony, and the other is the new prince's ascension ceremony! The prince is the crown prince, the highest ruler of the future empire. Although the prince's ascension is not as grand as the emperor's ascension, it is only a little bit short of it. In the 314th year of the new era of the Magic Martial Arts Continent, the Dragon Empire ushered in a lively and sacred and solemn day. More than a month ago, the eldest prince, the original prince, was rebelled because of the rebellion.
After being killed, the new prince's ascension ceremony was suddenly held without anyone's expectations. To everyone's expectations, the new prince who became the new prince after the eldest prince was not the second prince known as the Long Wei Wuhou King, nor the third prince who was known as the multi-faceted wisdom and starry stars, nor the other princes who were jealous of this prince later. Instead, they were only known a few years ago, and belonged to the youngest ninth prince born to the emperor and an unknown little concubine - Byron Rejett!
Undoubtedly, once this shocking news came out, both within the Dragon Empire and around the four empires and some large and small forces were looking at the royal family of the Dragon Empire. Everyone was imagining what the old emperor Lanrik was planning to push his youngest son to such a storm! Everyone knew that at this moment, even the seventh prince and the eighth prince in the royal family of the Dragon Empire had been mixed up in the court over the years.
The trace is also a small supporter, but it is this ninth prince. Because his mother is not known among the many concubines, his status is very low. In addition, the ninth prince himself also has some inferiority complex. He is urged by his mother to read and write quietly in his bedroom. After he was born, he was not many people knew about the existence of this little prince before the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. If you want to talk about supporters, perhaps the only one is the Long family of the foolish royal family...
The old emperor, who had great means and courage, disagrees with the public and makes the ninth prince become the new crown prince. As soon as the news of the throne ceremony was heard, everyone from all directions looked at the Dragon Empire. As long as someone who is not stupid, it can be expected that this throne ceremony will not be so calm.
"Oh Yao Tian, there is absolutely no mistake in today's matter! I will hand over all the imperial guards to your Long family army to dispatch. The 50,000 imperial guards in the imperial city and the 100,000 troops dispatched by your Long family army should be enough to deal with everything! Humph, there are always some restless boys who want to cause trouble for me! This time, the matter can make all the restless boys jump out! But before that, I need to ensure the safety of Lei Jiete! He is my future successor, and there is absolutely no harm. Can you guarantee, Yao Tian?"
In the palace courtyard of the Dragon Empire, two men of different ages stood one after another. One of them was wearing a golden dragon robe, which was Byron Lanrik, the current emperor of the Dragon Empire! The other was of course the most heartfelt guardian of the royal family. The current head of the Long family was Long Yaotian, the father of Long Jiu!
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I have asked my son Long Yi to lead the 100,000 Long Family Army troops to surround the imperial city. Long San personally inspected all the entrances and exits. Those two boys joined forces, and I believe there will be no mistakes! The Your Majesty held the throne ceremony of Your Highness Ninth with confidence! No matter who wants to sneak in, it is impossible!"
He saluted the old emperor respectfully, and Long Yaotian spoke in a deep voice, his expression full of seriousness. This matter is of great importance, and he dared not be careless at all!
"Okay! I've always been at ease with you! Yaotian, this time, I don't care about the opposition of all the ministers and generals, and I'm willing to treat the child Lei Jiet as the new crown prince. But I know that he has no prestige in the palace. Except for your Long family, no one will believe in my sudden decision. I wonder, what will you think of me?"
"Reporting to the emperor, no matter what decision the emperor makes, I dare not comment on it. The king has his thoughts. I only need to do what I want to do. No matter who becomes the new crown prince, I am the object of guarding me to the death! I believe that Your Majesty, you must have your own decisions and ideas. Although Your Highness Ninth Prince is still young and has little experience, it is precisely because of this that it is absolutely impossible to have a situation similar to Your Highness Big Prince. Your Majesty can take advantage of these years to complete all the things you want to accomplish, and then hand over everything to Your Highness who grew up with you!"
Hearing Long Yaotian's answer, the old emperor was obviously extremely satisfied. He smiled slightly, and a glimmer shot out of his eyes, and he slowly spoke: "Yaotian, you are worthy of being my true confidant! You have guessed most of my thoughts! As for the remaining small part, I can't tell you to know for the time being, but one day, you will understand my painstaking efforts! The Dragon Empire has been developing for tens of thousands of years. Although the territory has not been occupied by the four powers, most of the prestige accumulated has disappeared. Now the four empires are all beginning to become restless. This continent has been peaceful for too long. Perhaps, I have found an opportunity to fight back! Everything depends on whether the God Help will help..."
Byron Langric's inexplicable words, Long Yaotian naturally understood something, but he was indeed a good minister and would never ask any more questions if he shouldn't have asked. Although he had thought of the old emperor's intentions in his heart, he did not dare to think too much. He stood by the side with his hands respectfully held his hands, without saying a word!
But at this moment, a miserable trumpet sound suddenly sounded, and a soldier covered in blood stumbled over and knelt on the ground more than ten meters away from the pair of monarchs and ministers, with a "plop" sound on the ground, his face full of horror.
"No...no, my grandson! General Long! There are assassins! There are assassins to assassinate His Highness Ninth Prince! Ninth Prince His Highness Ninth Prince is already seriously injured!"
"What-!? How is it possible, Yaotian-!?"
This news is like a bolt from the blue. Both the old emperor and Long Yaotian changed their faces for a moment. After a moment of stunned angrily, the old emperor turned his head angrily and looked at Long Yaotian who had promised him with confidence the moment before. The latter clenched his fists tightly, but wanted to leave, but he was a little worried about the safety of the old emperor. He stood there and hesitated for a moment.
"What are you doing while standing there! Although I am old, not everyone can attack me! There are so many guards here, don't worry about me, go and save Lei Jiete. If something happens to him, everyone in the Long family will come to see you-!"
This time, the old emperor was really a little angry. The solid imperial city was surrounded by a group of 100,000 Long Family Army. There were 50,000 imperial guards constantly patrolling the city. With such a guardian, even if other empires attacked, they would not want to break through for a while! But under such protection, there were assassins who were infiltrated and attacked the Ninth Prince without any knowledge! Moreover, since the incident happened, it took no more than half an hour to get the news. However, the visitor could break through the heavy guard and attack the Ninth Prince directly! How could this not make the old emperor shocked and angry? It was already a great tolerance for not attacking Long Yaotian on the spot!
"yes--!"
After hustle-handed to the old emperor, Long Yaotian had some bad premonition in his heart for some reason, and he didn't wait for the seriously injured soldier to lead the way. He was no longer familiar with the imperial city Long Yaotian. With a slight force on his legs, his whole body had already risen into the air. The strength of the super master who quantified the five realms was reflected at this moment. Although he could not really fly in the air, the speed of this light body lifting and lingering technique was no longer much slower than flying, and it seemed more elegant and elegant.
On the way to the palace where the Ninth Prince was, Long Yaotian also closed his eyes and wanted to feel the breath of his two sons. According to his instructions, he had his two children personally guarding the ninth prince in the palace. With the strength of Long Yi and Long San, even if Long Yaotian wanted to break through, it would not be possible in a short time. This is also the reason why Long Yaotian dared to guarantee the old emperor! But now, not only did he get the news that the Ninth Prince had an accident, but what made Long Yaotian feel the most sank in the huge palace,
He could feel many powerful auras, but he could not feel the unique aura of fighting spirit in his two children. This can only explain two points. Either Long Yi and Long San deliberately hid their breath and made Long Yaotian unable to feel it. If this is the case, it would be okay, but if it is the second situation, the two sons who were issued military orders left their posts without his consent and left the palace without his consent, things would have become a little bad...
"Damn it, what's going on? Those two little bastards should not be able to disobey my order and leave the palace alone! Why can't you see them now... Could it be..."
