1226 Slap in the face
"ah!"
It was daybreak, and the extremely decibel level of frightening screams broke the tranquility of the entire Tyrant Ape King's Court.
All the descendants of the direct lineage of Baoyuan disappeared without a trace overnight. Only the bloody head of the new royal lord Yuan Quan was placed in his palace, with deathly gray eyes full of confusion and fear.
The servants and descendants of the violent ape tribe gathered outside the royal lord's palace, watching in silence as the imperial guards who came after hearing the news carefully searched for any clues.
The emperor's face remained as calm as water, but her eyes were half-closed with light shining, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The expressions of the seven kings are all different, some are gloating over misfortune, some are gloomy, some are frowning in thought, some are frightened, some are fearful and uneasy...
The two maids knelt on the ground and shivered, their eyes full of fear and fear, and they accepted the interrogation of the imperial guards with pale faces.
Soon, after the interrogation was completed, the imperial guards respectfully stepped forward to report.
It turned out that they were maids who were responsible for the royal lord's daily life. It was still dark in the early morning, so they came to serve the royal lord in dressing and washing as usual.
Since Yuan Quan had just temporarily become the king yesterday, the two maids could not figure out his temper. Seeing that the palace door was closed, they did not dare to disturb him at will, so they waited respectfully outside the door.
Yuan Quan still didn't get up until daybreak. The two maids were afraid that he would oversleep and delay his business, so they had the courage to knock on the door. However, no matter how hard they knocked, there was no response.
They had discovered before that there were no guards guarding the royal lord's palace, but they thought the new lord didn't like it and didn't care. But now they couldn't knock the door no matter how hard they tried, which made the two women feel that something was wrong.
So, the two women hurriedly opened the door and found that Yuan Quan only had a bloody head left. They were so frightened that they screamed. After realizing it, they got up and went to report to someone, but they didn't want the entire royal court to be exposed.
All the direct descendants of the ape clan disappeared without a trace.
Realizing that something serious had happened, the two maids had no choice but to report it to King Kong, the most powerful among the branches of the violent ape tribe. King Kong was shocked when he learned about it, and immediately arranged for people to surround the royal palace and sent another person.
Go to the imperial court to report.
"Have you found any clues?"
The emperor asked calmly without showing any emotion or anger.
"This subordinate is incompetent and has not found any clues. Please punish me, Lord."
The leader of the imperial guards knelt on one knee, lowered his head and apologized in shame.
"No clues at all?"
You Ye asked with a gloomy face.
"No...no."
The leader of the imperial guards glanced at the emperor secretly, and replied with gleaming words.
"There are no outsiders here, just tell me."
The emperor frowned slightly and shouted in a low voice, she was a mature woman, and there was nothing strange about the leader of the guards.
"We found this under the head of Lord Yuan."
The leader of the guards took out a blood-stained animal skin from his arms, held it respectfully in his hands and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor's face, which had always been calm and unfazed, finally changed. He was so gloomy that he could drip water. He grabbed the animal's skin and crushed it to pieces. He turned around and left angrily: "Go back to the imperial court to discuss matters."
The royal lords looked at each other, wondering what happened to the lord. Only Kong Xuan's eyes flickered. The animal skin seemed to be an order from the imperial court. Could it be...
"Royal Lord?"
When King Kong saw the imperial court, he left without saying anything and shouted anxiously without knowing why.
"King Kong, you are temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Royal Court of the Tyrant Ape and are waiting for the next order from the Royal Court."
The imperial master had already flown far away, but the voice came from far away. However, in this short time, his tone had returned to calmness again. "Yes!"
King Kong responded with helpless fists.
The royal masters did not stay long and followed the emperor back to the imperial court. Only Kong Xuan glanced at King Kong meaningfully. Did the emperor surrender?
From the moment he found out that the animal skin was an order from the imperial court, he guessed that the direct lineage of the violent ape clan was wiped out and must have something to do with the Marshal's Mansion. This was a strong counterattack against the imperial court's attempt to punish Lang Kui.
Otherwise, why should the imperial edict be placed under Yuan Quan's head?
Unexpectedly, after Ding Ning died, an ordinary widow in the Marshal's Mansion would still have such courage. The emperor was obviously aware of this, so he got angry and destroyed the animal skin on the spot. This slap made her face burn.
It hurts.
King Kong owes Ding Ning a life. After learning that Ding Ning passed away, he was the first to rush to pay homage. He was obviously someone close to the commander-in-chief. The emperor appointed him as the temporary leader of the Ape King at this sensitive moment. The meaning is quite intriguing.
"Let's talk about it. Now that Prince Yuan has unfortunately died, who will be responsible for revoking Lang Kui's military power?"
In the imperial meeting hall, the emperor's face returned to calmness again, he took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
The royal lords are not fools either. Although they didn’t understand why the royal lord would be so rude before, they communicated with each other through messages on the way back. How could they not react? This was clearly the decision made by the Marshal’s Mansion to the imperial court.
The strong counterattack is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
This made the Royal Lords feel suddenly heavy. They all looked left and right, avoiding the Royal Lord's intimidating sight, and no one said a word.
Just kidding, although Yuan Quan was temporarily appointed to the position of Royal Lord, and his cultivation level is definitely not as good as theirs, but they have self-awareness, even if they are stronger than Yuan Quan, they are only limited, and the murderer can kill people silently.
All the direct descendants of the ape clan have been wiped out, and it is not difficult to wipe them out. Who the hell would be stupid to jump out at this time to take on this thankless and life-threatening drudgery.
With the lessons learned from the past, even if they wanted to defeat the Marshal's Mansion again, they would not dare to express their stance without scruples like they did yesterday in front of two unstable people, Peng Tianao and Qingque'er, for fear of following in the footsteps of Yuan Quan.
I was careless. I didn't expect that even after Ding Ning died, the Marshal's Mansion would still be so strong. He gave the imperial court a resounding slap in the face with such a tough attitude and gave everyone a bloody warning.
The emperor's eyes were dark and he said calmly: "Since the decision of the imperial court has been made, it cannot be changed. Otherwise, how can the imperial court and you all have any dignity at all?"
The kings looked at their noses with their eyes, their noses at their mouths, and their mouths at their hearts, and turned a deaf ear like an old monk in trance, which made the emperor furious and shouted: "Yesterday, didn't you two clamor that Lang Kui was guilty and that he should be punished?
Why, they are all mute now."
The emperor was furious, and all the princes lowered their heads, looking frightened, but they sneered in their hearts. If you have the ability to implement it yourself, no matter how joyful we are, without the acquiescence of you, the emperor, can the resolution be passed?
"The meaning of the existence of the Royal Court is to implement the decisions of the Royal Court. If the decisions made by the Royal Court cannot be implemented, then what is the use of the Royal Court?"
The emperor shouted angrily with a stern voice.
The royal lords suddenly felt their hearts beat, knowing that they could no longer remain silent. If the royal lords used this as an excuse to launch an attack and take back the rights in their hands, then the eight royal courts would be just decorations from now on.
Youye rolled her eyes, stepped forward and bowed with her fists clasped, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Last night, Princess Yuan received the order from the imperial court. It was the imperial court's response to the Royal Court of the Tyrant Ape."
Favor, I think, since the Royal Court of the Tyrant Ape has accepted the order
, regardless of whether Prince Yuan is here or not, this matter still has to fall on the King of Tyrannosaurus Ape. Otherwise, if Prince Yuan had just been killed and the Imperial Court withdrew his favor, the Imperial Court of Tyrannosaurus would surely think that it had lost the trust of the Imperial Court.
People are in panic, please think twice, Your Majesty."
Damn it, people can be so shameless, I've really learned a lot.
Niu Yue stared blankly at You Ye, who had a red face and a righteous look, and suddenly felt that his shamelessness was nothing compared to You Ye, and they were not on the same level at all.
Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with strange light, and he glanced at You Ye with a strange expression. He secretly became more vigilant in his heart. It seemed that he had underestimated You Ye, who was usually taciturn. Speaking of being shameless, this guy was definitely one of the eight kings.
most.
The other princes were also amazed. They didn't expect that the inconspicuous Youye could be so vicious. He used his spear to attack his shield. Isn't the Marshal's Mansion tough? Then the Imperial Court sent King Kong who was friendly with the Marshal's Mansion.
Go and seize the military power and see what else your commander-in-chief can do.
Peng Tianao and Qingque'er looked at each other and saw the deep worry in each other's eyes. In fact, until now, they did not think that the destruction of the Tyrant Ape Royal Family was the fault of the Marshal's Mansion.
After all, they were in the Marshal's Mansion last night and never left until dawn. Although Zique'er and others were filled with indignation, they were only prepared to protect Lang Kui and showed no signs of taking action against the Tyrant Ape King's Court.
They wanted to give an explanation to the Marshal's Mansion, but although everyone in their hearts believed that it was the Marshal's Mansion, no one said it out loud, leaving them with no way to explain.
Now You Ye made such a suggestion again, and the Emperor was obviously interested in it, which made them even more worried about the Marshal's Mansion.
"Alright, I, the Emperor, will ask someone to draft an edict now, and leave this matter to Lord You."
The emperor stretched and stood up, and said calmly: "I am old and a little tired, so let's put it that way."
Youye froze and cursed the emperor secretly for being cunning. It was obvious that the damn old woman was unhappy about being slapped in the face, but she didn't want to openly quarrel with the commander-in-chief, so he gave in and came up with such a bad idea, but
He didn't expect Master Huang to throw the blame so cleanly and simply leave the matter to him to implement, which made him feel like he had shot himself in the foot.
But what could he say? He could only bite the bullet and agree, secretly praying that the Marshal's Mansion would not put the blame on him, secretly deciding that he must not sleep in the royal court during this period, and must hide.
Okay, so as not to end up like Yuan Quan.
The other princes secretly curled their lips, they were half in a state of trance and still felt tired, so go ahead and lie to ghosts.
It’s just that the dead Taoist friends are not poor Taoists, so they will not take the initiative to cause trouble. They are happy to see the emperor leaving this unfortunate errand to You Ye. Naturally, they will not ask for trouble at this time and speak for You Ye.
.
I'm afraid only Bai Chuanxin, his future brother-in-law, is worried about him. It's just a matter of his family and his life. Even if You Ye is his future brother-in-law, he won't be stupid enough to open his mouth and cause trouble at this time.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
Seeing that the emperor wanted to leave after leaving a word, Kong Xuan rolled his eyes and took a step forward.
"Oh, what else does King Kong have to do?"
The emperor still had great respect for Kong Xuan, whose cultivation level was on the same level as hers. Hearing this, he stopped and said,
"After all, the Royal Court of the Violent Ape is one of the eight royal courts under the imperial court. Prince Yuan Quan was brutally murdered just after he took office. If our Imperial Court does not seek justice for him and give an explanation to the Violent Ape clan, I am afraid it will be difficult for people to convince people. If this continues,
, everyone in the major royal courts is in danger, who dares to serve the imperial court?"
With a worried look on his face, Kong Xuan said firmly, with an expression of loyalty and plans for the imperial court.
But she was sneering secretly in her heart. The damn old woman wanted to secretly compromise in exchange for benefits. Huh, no way. It would be best if the Imperial Court and the Marshal's Mansion could tear each other apart and fight to the death. Only then would we, the Peacock Clan, benefit and become the Imperial Court.
