His Majesty the King died suddenly, and the Second Prince suddenly ascended the throne. Things happened so fast that it was almost unbelievable.
The previous king, Emperor Crocker Asimov, was an eighth-level warrior, and he also had an eighth-level contracted creature. With two eighth-level beings, who could kill them silently?
Moreover, from the incident until now, the king's body and his contracted creature have not been seen by anyone. Only two princes, a princess, and a few officials have met, but those officials have now been charged with treason by the new emperor.
was executed. The eldest prince's Princess Tina is still under house arrest, and her location under house arrest is also unknown.
There were also those royal guards, who were all members of at least the fifth level. They also died very strangely. There were no scars on their bodies at all, and there were no symptoms of poisoning. They looked like they had suffocated themselves to death.
That's just like a joke. Can a fifth-level warrior be suffocated to death by himself?
"This matter can be said to have a very direct relationship with you."
The Grand Duke said to Wang Wei.
"Okay, Dad. We know this matter is full of mystery, but what does that have to do with us?"
Wang Wei couldn't understand that even if the second prince really usurped the throne, he didn't instigate it?
"That's exactly what I'm going to say. It's because they thought you were dead that they dared to launch this operation. Do you believe what I say?"
The father-in-law looked into Wang Wei's eyes and said word by word.
"What? Do you think you dare to do this if you think I'm dead? I'm so capable?"
Wang Wei doesn't believe it even more now.
"But in my opinion, that's the reality."
The Grand Duke said slowly.
"Not long ago, Leya escorted the princess back to the imperial city. She reported to the king's pen your entire trip to the Far Mountain Council. She said that you built a huge warship, as huge as a sea fortress. With one blow,
It can sink a giant whale warship. Are these correct?"
After getting Wang Wei's nod of confirmation, the Grand Duke continued.
"Then you go after the Sea Clan, but do you know that the mainland has fought no less than a hundred huge battles against the Sea Clan, and there have been countless small battles, and none of them have been successful! No one has ever believed that you will come back alive.
, even I am extremely worried. As a result, you have been away for two full months. No one will believe that you will sail on the vast sea for two months without supplies, and the Sea Tribe will never let you feel at ease at sea.
The voyage took two months. Especially one month ago, Aragorn, the prince of the Tolkien Empire, returned from the combined naval fleet and brought news of your death!"
Wang Wei then remembered that at that time he had to act cool and pretend to be a martyr. In the end, Aragorn might actually regard him as a martyr.
"Yes, that was the day after he announced that you were buried under the sea, and then the king was killed! We guessed that he was afraid."
The Grand Duke said.
"Afraid? Afraid of what? Afraid of a dead person?"
Wang Wei felt even more incredible. Even Luna on the side felt a little baffled.
"I'm not afraid of a dead man, I'm afraid of a king, afraid of us grand dukes!"
The father-in-law shook his head and said.
"The second prince is different from his elder brother. His Highness the eldest prince is a typical martial artist. He always lacks thinking before doing something. But the second prince is different. Since he was a child, I have noticed that his way of thinking is different from others.
Children are very different, they are very easy to go to extremes, and they think about many simple things very complicated."
"You, a person who walked out of the forest, were able to learn language and fight in a short period of time. You became a noble, obtained your own territory, and got engaged to the daughter of a grand duke. In a few months
A rare castle was built inside, and then suddenly a giant battleship was built that even the Sea Clan could not compare to."
"What would you think if I told you this story without contacting you?"
The Grand Duke asked Wang Wei.
"I definitely think that it was a story designed by you and His Majesty the King. I am the actor and a force that the King wants to cultivate!"
Wang Wei smiled and said that his progress has exceeded everyone's imagination. This is not a speed that humans can achieve. No one will believe that it was achieved through his own strength.
"That's right, so some of us privately believe that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is worried that your death may cause His Majesty the King to look for new cultivation directions, and ultimately lead to everything being out of his control. You know, in the past two years, Renault and you
The rise of China has made many people uneasy."
The Grand Duke said somewhat seriously.
"Then what do you princes think?"
What Wang Wei doesn't understand the most right now is the thoughts of his father-in-law and the other princes who are like his father-in-law. There are currently three princes in the country, namely the lion prince Fernando who guards Lingnan County.
The Archduke of the Holy Fire, Kyle Yi, who guards the western frontier, is also the father of Vincent Yi who once participated in the bride-kidnapping.
And the Crystal Archduke, Atlas Verdun, is located in the north, guarding and bordering the Frozen Lands.
These three Grand Dukes all seem to be on the edge of the territory far away from the imperial capital. Unless there are major domestic meetings, they will not participate in any agenda at all. But everyone knows the meaning of those Grand Dukes' territories stationed there.
Borders are always places full of wars, no matter where they are. Except for the eastern seas, these border areas spend almost every day in war.
Lingnan County, where Duke Fernando is located, is considered the most stable place. To the south is the endless Amazon forest, to the northwest are the Gray Dragon Mountains, and to the east is the vast ocean. As the granary of the empire, it may be that once a war breaks out,
The first place to be attacked. Therefore, this place has always been heavily guarded by Duke Fernando's Lion Legion.
The situation on the other three borders is also the same.
The number of these legions accounts for almost half of the entire country's army!
However, no matter what, these troops cannot be mobilized.
"The only thing we want to do is to know what happened so we can know what we should do."
The father-in-law looked into Wang Wei's eyes and said.
"Okay, leave this matter to me. It just so happens that I am going to the Imperial Capital. I have a fun way."
It was rare for Wang Wei to take the matter personally, which was far beyond Duke Fernando's expectations.
"This matter is not as simple as you think. My son, a prince will never be able to rebel against his father so smoothly. In the past few days, the incidents on the border have become more and more tense and numerous. We are very worried.
I suspect that the second prince is supported by foreign forces."
My father-in-law didn’t quite agree with Wang Wei’s involvement.
"I said, I don't like that guy, I like the queen, uh, the female king."
Wang Wei said.
Wang Wei told his father-in-law about Leya finding him, and his father-in-law immediately agreed that Wang Wei should rescue Princess Tina. What's more, it might even turn the entire imperial capital upside down.
"There is a saying in my former hometown, which is called fishing in troubled waters. It means muddying the water and then catching fish. If I suddenly appeared in the Imperial Capital and suddenly rescued Princess Tina, or to put it more seriously, I would suddenly declare my support What about Tina's ascension to the throne? I guess there must be some people who can't sit still. If there are really some external forces supporting him, then they definitely don't want to see me suddenly appear, because they all know that behind my back It is very likely that it is Lingnan County."
"Once they think that Lingnan County is planning this incident, they will definitely worry that the other Grand Dukes will also be involved, and no matter who is hiding it, they will definitely not want to see things that were developing smoothly encounter sudden changes. If something changes, some people will definitely take action. At that time, no matter who takes any action, we very much want to see it."
Wang Wei said.
Cao Cao will always live a better life than Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Although Wang Wei does not want to be Cao Cao, he does not want to watch Dong Zhuo run amok there.
However, His Highness the Second Prince this time is far worse than Dong Zhuo in history.
Wang Wei stayed at his father-in-law's house for a total of three days and left behind countless treasures from the Sea Clan. A small part of them was used to fill the gap in funds when Wang Wei took the burning crystal cannon from here, and some of them were given to his father-in-law. Gift.
Even the well-informed Grand Duke Lion was a little moved by the sudden appearance of so many rare sea treasures on land. Although Wang Wei told him what had happened, it was still difficult to let go of these things. The Grand Duke accepted. Look at those colorful pearls. The big one is almost as big as a fist, and the smallest one is several times larger than the pearls that can be seen on the mainland. There are also some corals, ocean volcanic crystals, and some rare water. The elements were crystallized, and the Grand Duke was obviously extremely shocked by Wang Wei's harvest this time.
