Chapter 314 The Most Unlikely Man

In fact, the so-called royal faction and the southern faction are nothing more than two interest groups, and there is no division of justice and evil.As the loyalists of the royal family, the Beifeng family might lose their stand if they did not support the new king.In other words, if you have not shown loyalty to the king, what right do you call yourself a royal loyalist?

After the queen expressed her intention, many nobles of the royal family, even the internal members of the Beifeng family, thought it was a very suitable opportunity.If Jianbao can marry the royal family, it will mean a reconciliation between the royal family and the southern faction, which is a good thing for everyone.

But the current Patriarch Michelo has his own considerations, because Diana's talent was concealed back then, even the family members don't know much about it, but only he knows best how outstanding his daughter is. If Tier is a sword master, the Beifeng family will not need to compromise with any other forces at that time.

But he also knew that although the royal family valued the strength of the Beifeng family, they would never expect such a surprise.Just as Eastalen was a lesson from the past, the rise of the Beifeng family will inevitably be suppressed by vested interest groups.If Diana's secret is announced, it is conceivable that various shady methods will follow.

Michelle's judgment was not wrong. Even though he tried his best to conceal this secret, the Beifeng family was not monolithic.Under the continuous investigation of those with a heart, the news was finally leaked out.Although no one knows what step Diana has reached now, the fact that "the Beifeng family has evil intentions to hide the truth" makes Michelle completely speechless.

After a series of bloody plots that are popular within the family, the Beifeng family finally split inevitably.And the result of this internal struggle is the rebellion that El and Tiana are now encountering.

Sima Ke, who stood on the side of the current family head, called this farce a "rebellion", but Hua Lain and Hibbert, who launched the rebellion, thought they were "setting things right."They regard Michelo as a "crazy gambler who wants to go his own way". After confirming that the problem cannot be solved through dialogue, they resolutely draw their swords in order to protect the future of the Beifeng family.

"It sounds like those people seem to have no confidence in Miss Diana." When hearing this, El couldn't help sighing.

"It's not lack of confidence, but excess confidence." Sima Ke sighed and said with a wry smile: "When they found that they could never catch up with Missy, they began to feel jealous. They are all proud geniuses , it is absolutely intolerable for a woman to inherit the name of Juggernaut."

"It's a big deal to use force for this reason, right?" Tiana snorted and said, "Since they dare to launch a rebellion, they must be prepared to deal with Diana. In Sword Castle...or the Northwind family , is there still a strong person who can suppress the eldest lady?"

"Of course not, otherwise the eldest lady would not have to stand up and preside over the situation after the Patriarch fell ill." Sima Ke said without hesitation: "This group of people must have prepared a dirty trick. Since they can give us If you poison, you will definitely poison the eldest lady."

"Poison that can bring down a quasi-juggernaut is not something that can be bought with money." Tiana said quietly.

"Wait a minute, I don't know if there is a problem with my understanding or something is wrong. You said that the reason they launched the rebellion was to force Diana to marry the king, right?" El blinked and asked with some doubts: "Regardless of whether this can be done or not, the price Jianbao paid is too high, right? They not only want to bring down the current Patriarch, but also eliminate those who support the Patriarch like you, and finally deal with a Miss Juggernaut...is it worth doing this?"

"This... who knows what those lunatics think, maybe someone gave them more benefits, enough to make them betray Sword Castle." Sima Ke was taken aback by this question, and he was a little uncertain. Say.

What kind of benefits can make a mere silver-ranked swordsman have the courage to plot against a quasi-juggernaut?If it wasn't your will, who would force a quasi-juggernaut to do something she didn't want to do?
This problem is also bothering Miss Juggernaut herself.

The conflict between the Istaronites and the Masonry Brotherhood made Diana very anxious. She was going to the refugee camp to question the prophet about the destruction of the local lord, but as Al and Tiana expected, she was in There is no meaningful answer from the Prophet.

The Prophet warmly welcomes Diana's visit, but is completely ignorant of the accusation of murder and robbery.Except for Mr. Baron Farah, all those involved that night have been murdered and silenced.As long as the masonry fraternity kills and refuses to admit it, Diana has nothing to do.

After just drinking a cup of tea, news came from the north that the people of Istaren were killing people. Diana rushed over immediately and forcibly suppressed the powerhouses on both sides.As the temporary owner of Sword Castle, Diana was not good at handling such disputes. She only hoped that the two parties could calm down and put the issue on the negotiating table to resolve it, but this was obviously an almost impossible goal to achieve.

The people of Istaren wanted to pass through the sword castle and continue to march south. Their goal did not conflict with the Masonry Brotherhood, nor should there be a conflict. The merciless massacre directly turned the Masonry Brotherhood into a sworn enemy.

Diana reconstructed the scene at that time based on the descriptions of both parties, and found that it was indeed the Eastalenians who made the first move, and these Eastalenians did not mean to deny or conceal it at all.Facing the wrath of the masonry fraternity, the girl who covered her face with a hood showed no sign of remorse, but gave a strong answer—either let us pass, or we pass over your corpses, there is no third party. options.

No one doubted whether these Istaron exiles still had the qualifications to speak like this. Istaron was originally one of the territories with the strongest military power in the country, and the military power of the White Lion family was also not in vain.When thousands of heavily armed soldiers set up their battle formations, the momentum alone was enough to make people feel suffocated.Had Diana not been present, this force would have swept the Castle of Swords.

Reminiscing what the two guests who were guests at her home said, Diana vaguely realized that the friction this time might not be as simple as it appeared on the scene.The Brotherhood of Stoneworkers seemed to be behind the scenes, and the people of Eastalen had no intention of compromising.There seemed to be another goal hidden behind the conflict between the two sides, but this kind of intellectual level confrontation was beyond Diana's understanding, making her feel like an idiot who didn't know what to do.

For a real fighter, the solution to the problem should never be to use the brain to think, it is meaningless and a waste of time.So Diana chose the simplest method, which was a direct threat of violence—the two sides retreated a certain distance, and the current line was used as a separation zone, and they were not allowed to provoke each other.Regardless of the reason, as long as someone crosses this isolation zone, it will be regarded as an offense to the majesty of Sword Castle.

The order was brutal and unreasonable, but Diana assured both parties that it was a stopgap measure.Both parties are not satisfied with this but they have to abide by the rules, because the simplest rule in this world is that the strongest wins.A sword master, even a quasi-jugger master who has not successfully advanced, her words have supreme authority here.As for how to deal with this matter, she has to go back and ask the elders in her family for advice.

But when Diana returned to Sword Castle, she found that her own home had been turned into a mess in just a short while.Seeing the collapsed houses and flames and smoke in the city, the girl opened her eyes wide and didn't react for a long time.

"What the hell is going on here? What are you bastards doing!" Diana, who was swearing for the first time, hurried back to the family castle, and there were traces of fierce fighting everywhere she looked.The battle here had apparently just ended, and the castle guards were picking up the corpses of their former colleagues.Seeing Diana come back, everyone fell to their knees and remained silent.

"Hua Laiyin! Simaco! Where are you?" Perhaps because she had never experienced such a change, Diana never thought of asking the truth from the mouths of these ordinary soldiers, let alone noticing the strange look in the eyes of those soldiers. look.She yelled and walked towards the bedroom where her father was resting.

When she came to a corner, Diana saw the little maid Kiki huddling in the corner with her head in her arms, motionless. She couldn't help but rush over, and was relieved to find that she was not injured.

"Qiqi, don't be afraid, it's me. What happened here? Where did Sima Ke and the others go?" Diana patted the head of the little maid, who subconsciously shrank her neck and let out a pitiful sob , looked up at Diana with tears in her eyes and whispered, "Miss, it's Hua Lain..."

"Hua Laiyin? Is he crazy?" Diana froze for a moment, blinking her eyes in doubt.Of course she knew that Hua Lain was not safe, and had been doing some tricks secretly after her father fell ill.But after all, he also grew up in the Beifeng family, so why did the conflicts have to get so out of hand?

Maybe it was because too many things happened today, and everything was so foggy, which made Diana feel that her IQ was not enough, so that her mind was a mess, and she felt drowsy and aching.Suddenly there was a blur in front of her eyes, she shook her head and came back to her senses, and found that this pain was not an illusion, a dagger had already been inserted into her chest!

And the other end of the dagger was held in Qiqi's hand.
