Alien Paradise.

Chapter 423: Total Revenge
"I don't understand...why should I stop Brother Shenjian? Wouldn't it be possible to avenge my father by letting him kill Long Jiu's family?"

Bi Fei looked at the Long Jiu Gongzi who were facing away from her, and her clasped hands trembled slightly. No one was paying attention to her now. The guards surrounded the stage tightly, but they also treated her as a protected object. They seemed to have forgotten that she was the ninth princess, a child of the Yue Gui family, and had a blood feud with the Long Jiu family!
The guard had a gun on his waist...

If I pull it out now, maybe I can put an end to everything.

"No, it's not them that are going to be killed, it's your life." A gentle voice sounded in her mind, "Do you know that person just now?"

"His name is Mekfa... He is a guard appointed by my father and elder brother... They are now in the royal city, they must be here to defeat the Longjiu family!"

"So you have to stop them and not let them ruin the current good situation."

"What did you say?" Bi Fei was stunned. "Ms. Clara, aren't you protecting the Laurel Family? Why did you let Long Jiu and his gang of thugs..."

"Of course I am protecting you, child." The other party's tone was still calm, making people feel reassured involuntarily, "You have been patient for a long time, and you must not let a momentary impulse destroy your long-term efforts. The hope of the Laurel family does not lie in these guards, but in you... But you are too weak now. Once you lose this shell of the Longjiu family, you will be easily hurt by others."

"You mean... the Royal Guards won't stand on the side of the Laurel family either?"

"That's right." The woman's voice was filled with a hint of approval. "Haven't you participated in many court councils as the heir to the kingdom? In the face of interests and power, past affection will only be ruthlessly abandoned; eternity only exists in stories, and reality is endless change..."

Bi Fei was silent.

Such disputes... have indeed been seen many times in the court council. Those nobles who used to claim that they would always be loyal to the Laurel family are now also flattering the traitors, and they are full of intrigues and deceptions. They are completely different from what is described in the books, that they are of noble character and regard honor above all else.

She always felt that the people in the palace were very kind and friendly to her, and the adults were the same. When they saw her, they would always try their best to make her happy.

However, after experiencing the death of her father, the murder of her siblings, and the betrayal of her vassal ministers, Bi Fei has long understood that the world is not as simple as she thought.

Her clenched hands gradually loosened.

“You must immediately order a lockdown of the city and issue a curfew to prevent this matter from causing greater chaos.”

Bi Fei walked behind Qi Bo who was half kneeling and said.

"W-what?" The eldest son turned his head in a daze.

"The city is sealed not to stop an assassin with extraordinary strength, but to prevent the other party from leaving a backup plan, such as a team of ambushes hiding in the suburbs." She continued, "The strict ban is to prevent the nobles from colluding with each other and spreading unfavorable rumors in the city. The death of the Duke can no longer be covered up, but they should not be allowed to distort or exaggerate the matter. Of course... these are just my personal opinions, and I don’t know if they are correct-"

"No, you're right!" Qi Bo blinked and suddenly came to his senses. Damn it, my father just met with misfortune, how could I panic for so long... and let a little girl remind me! He put away the key handed to him by Weiden, asked the doctor who was driven away to come back to deal with his father's body, and then looked at the two brothers, "Did you hear it? Zigwei, you go to the guards and ask them to deal with the ban and public security issues in the royal city; Qisel, the internal forces will be handed over to you for the time being, keep an eye on those guys who are ready to make a move, can you do it!?"

The two nodded at the same time.

At this time, Bi Fei had already retreated to the side.

Qi Bo looked at her with some surprise... After the bloody scene in the palace, he thought this girl would collapse, but he didn't expect that she not only persisted, but also grew a lot without realizing it.

"Listen to me!" He said loudly to the people below the stage. Although many guests had fled, some still stayed... They were followers of the family, representing the big families and big companies in the Western Territory. They looked at each other in panic. The more times like this, the more they needed someone to stand up and stabilize people's hearts. "This was a vicious assassination outside the battlefield and a naked violation of the noble contract! They couldn't defeat my father, so they could only come up with this shameless method and do this in a public event! I swear in the name of Long Jiu, no matter who the murderer is and what kind of people are supporting him, the Long Jiu family will make them pay in blood!" The panic was temporarily stabilized.

People began to clean up the scene and count the victims.

"What about you, brother?" Zigwe asked before leaving.

"I have to go back to the palace." Qi Bo felt the coldness of the key through his clothes - he had already guessed where the key would lead to, "I'll leave this to you."

……

Strange... why does this victory taste so bland?
Mekfa half-crouched on top of the clock tower at the edge of the northern city, overlooking the city at dusk. Today was the third day after Duke Longjiu's death, and the city of Saintsia should be filled with smoke and chaos.

He knew these nobles too well.

Corrupt, greedy and stupid.

Faced with the sudden vacancy of power, they should throw their brains out and fight each other to the death. Even if other nobles are still afraid of the remaining power of the Longjiu family, there are also nobles and levels within the Longjiu family. Why haven't any of them stood up to respond to the return of the Kingdom Army?
Duke Longjiu is indeed dead.

After he slashed, he could feel the breath in his body fading quickly. That was the price he paid when his wish was fulfilled... The Longjiu family did not hide the news and issued a mourning and revenge oath that night. However, the chaos he expected did not come, and the whole city still seemed to be firmly controlled by someone.

"Cough, cough..." Makefa suddenly coughed violently twice, and a hint of blood spread in his throat.

Such is the price of power.

What a shame...it would be great if I could always maintain this peak level.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood foam. However, he did not regret this choice. If he could do it again a hundred times, he would still sign the contract.

Suddenly, a light flashed twice outside the countryside.

That was Moses' signal to him.

This meant that the sentries in the northern suburbs had been eliminated, and Long Jiujun briefly lost access to information from this area.

That's right, if the city can be in chaos because of the assassination, it would be the best. Even if it is not in chaos, Zhaixing City has a backup plan. On the day before they set out, the reorganized alliance army also set out, passing through the mountains along an unknown secret passage in the northwest, and rushing to the royal city of Saint Xia from an angle that the Longjiu family would never expect. The northern cities they passed on the way have all become the followers of the new gods, and they will provide the army with necessary food supplies and war materials.

On August 730, 8, the agreed day, this army will arrive at the outskirts of the royal city and launch a full-scale revenge on the Longjiu family.

Mekfa didn't care who would hold the throne in the end.

He only hoped to go one step further and win the favor of the gods.
