Although Elder Kuta had doubts in his heart, he did not say anything. After all, the king has passed away. No matter who is the murderer, one thing cannot be changed, and that is the succession of Prince Seongxiong. Anyone who dares to question the new king is digging his own grave.
.Since the prince insists that the boy named Qiu killed King Yi, everyone should just obey the arrangement.
The queen and other concubines picked up King Yi's head, sewed it around his neck with needle and thread, and placed it in the training hall. Their own staff worked overnight to make a coffin for burial on a different day.
Prince Chengxiong and others appeared in the main hall. Now that King Yi is dead, Gao Chengxiong is sitting on the tiger skin throne in a swaggering manner. Elder Kaihong lost no time in suggesting: "The country cannot live without a king for a day. The king has died, and the prince will succeed him."
In line with tradition and public opinion, how about we all support the prince as the new king? There should be no objection."
At such a point, anyone who dares to hold different opinions is completely uncomfortable. Many leaders naturally follow the trend and unanimously express their respect for the new king. Then the person on the throne suddenly transforms into King Chengxiong!
As the saying goes, "Don't forget the well diggers when you are ready." Gao Chengxiong immediately announced that the original leaders performed their respective duties and remained unchanged. However, Elder Kaihong worked hard and made great achievements. He was specially named the Grand Master of the National Protector. He can mobilize warriors from all departments at will and his status is respected. In this way
, the other four elders are inevitably dissatisfied. After all, they were all equals in the past, but now they have become the Archmage and are above them.
After all, King Chengxiong suddenly came to power as a prince, with little foundation and far less ability and ferocity than King Yi. He had to rely on the support of the five elders. Therefore, as soon as the order was promulgated, the other four elders immediately expressed their opposition. Some elders said
: "The Yi Kingdom has never had the position of a great protector of the country. Your Majesty's move is too unconventional. Please think twice. It's best to take it back."
Another elder said: "No one has seen Elder Kaihong's achievements. Isn't it dissatisfying that His Majesty is so partial to him?"
"Isn't that right? Your Majesty should drink a bowl of water evenly..."
Gao Chengxiong couldn't help but look embarrassed. After all, he had just ascended the throne. He couldn't just rely on Elder Kaihong and offend all the other elders. It would be chaos and it would be difficult to end! He glanced at Elder Kaihong and said,
I also ran out of ideas, "Well..."
Elder Kaihong's face turned livid and he said angrily: "What do you want to do? Why don't you obey the king's will? How dare you refute? Is this the behavior of a minister?"
Facing his question, Elder Kuta said in a deep voice: "We bad old men are just trying to be reasonable. If we set up a great mage to protect the country, we must make extraordinary achievements. Now the murderer of the late king is still in Luoxia Mountain."
You are free and easy, why do you want to be the Archmage? According to my opinion, whoever kills the boy named Qiu and takes his head is the one who is qualified to be..."
As soon as this statement was approved by other elders, Gao Chengxiong felt helpless and had no choice but to look at Elder Kaihong and asked: "Elder Kai, what do you think?"
Elder Kaihong also saw it. These old guys were so jealous that they would never let him become a great mage easily. He had to show his true ability for others to see. He said in a deep voice: "Well, according to what the elders said,
That’s all, I will lead my men to Luoxia Mountain, kill the traitor named Qiu, and come back with his head.”
Gao Chengxiong was also filled with hatred for that boy Qiu Yu, wishing to peel off his skin and twitch his muscles. He said excitedly: "This is very good. As long as Elder Kai does it, you will be the great mage who protects the country."
Elder Kaihong said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Tomorrow I will definitely return with the head to pay homage to the late king."
Elder Kuta said solemnly: "Then let's set the deadline tomorrow at sunset. If you can't succeed, we will go over and catch the murderer."
Elder Kaihong sneered, "According to what you said, it's settled. How can I still not kill a little brat? It's really unreasonable."
However, Elder Kuta retorted: "That's not necessarily true. This boy is very capable. It's hard to say who will win."
Elder Kaihong frowned, suddenly remembered something, and said with a straight face: "Killing that boy is easy, but after all, he is the consort, and Princess Nishang has always protected him. What if the princess fights to the death and refuses to touch him?"
Gao Chengxiong showed a ferocious look on his face and said fiercely: "No one can protect the murderer of my father. If the princess really dares to go her own way and has to protect the one named Qiu, then she will be killed together."
Hearing the words of the new king, everyone was shocked. They felt that Gao Chengxiong had indeed inherited the ferocious character of the previous king. Even if Princess Nishang was his sister, he would show no mercy. Thinking that the most beautiful woman in Yi Kingdom might die because of this,
Many leaders felt sorry for him.
"Yes!" Now that he had the king's will, Elder Kaihong became more confident. He was determined to ascend to a high position and immediately led thousands of warriors to set off and rushed to Luoxia Mountain overnight.
Looking at Qiu Yu's side again, after returning to Luoxia Mountain, he immediately ordered that the Sky Eagle team under his jurisdiction enter a state of emergency preparation, which surprised Princess Nishang and quickly asked the reason. Qiu Yu responded: "To tell you the truth,
King Yi has not improved, and it should be difficult for him to recover. The prince and Elder Kaihong will definitely send people to carry out the killing. If you are with me, we will share the same hatred, otherwise you can leave on your own."
Princess Nishang also understood that the reason why her husband lied about her father's well-being was so that the golden cicada could escape from the palace and leave the palace smoothly. She hurriedly said: "Husband, what are you talking about? I am such a person. I will marry a chicken."
If a chicken marries a dog and follows the dog, he will naturally fight with you together."
Now that Gao Nishang has made his position clear, Qiu Yu nodded, "Okay, let's have a big fight..." In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he set up large formations around the smelting site, namely the Ecstasy Formation, the Stone Formation and the Iron Cloud Formation.
After years of continuous practice, he has become a very high-level spiritual formation master and is good at innovation. The formation he deployed this time is a set, and its power cannot be underestimated.
Qiu Yu adapted his measures to local conditions. After all, the smelting site had a lot of ore, discarded iron slag and finished iron ingots, which were all materials for his formation. He ordered many eagle slaves to get busy and throw many iron ingots from the cave to the open space.
He walked as fast as the wind, placed the formation flags in the corresponding positions, put in the spirit coins to form a driving force, and waited for the enemy to arrive.
Everyone was busy until midnight before resting. More than a dozen masters of the National Guard were hidden in the surrounding woods, standing on the branches, staring at the night sky like hawks, responsible for the duty of standing guard, and their hearts gradually began to stir. After all, more than two people
In the past month, they have only helped King Ling make secret weapons without playing any real role. Now that the war is about to begin, they finally have a place to use them.
Qiu Yu and Gao Nishang returned to the cave to rest. After a while, a ray of light emerged from the ground. Princess Nishang was extremely surprised. She quickly stepped back and took a closer look. It was a metal puppet beast with a load behind it.
The snake girl with a slim figure and her long tail hanging on the ground made her frown and asked sternly: "What are you doing here? Why don't you serve His Majesty in the palace?"
