In this situation, even a strong man like King Samo couldn't help but feel nervous.

If he died in a battle with a strong man of the same level, he could barely accept it.

But if he died at the hands of these unknown soldiers, for a strong man like him in the Heaven Realm, that would be really aggrieved.

What's more, he just saw hope for the future, so he naturally didn't want to die like this.

He took a deep breath, quickly suppressed his inner throbbing, and then spoke loudly:

"I am the state teacher of the Golden Horde, and also the envoy sent by the Golden Horde Khan to the Great Zhou. I came to the Tianlao to visit the Duke of Weiguo on the order of the Empress of your country. I wonder what you all want to do? Do you want to kill the envoys of other countries?"

The two commanders of the imperial guards, the Huben and Yulin, looked at each other, and then the Huben commander stepped forward and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, envoy, we are just ordered to capture the imperial prisoner. May I ask where the Duke of Weiguo is?"

"The Duke of Weiguo is still in the Tianlao. He rejected our proposal and was unwilling to go to the Golden Horde with us."

When King Samofa said this, he keenly felt that many people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even the overwhelming murderous aura dissipated a lot at once.

At this moment, the result was already obvious. The Empress' proposal was indeed a trap.

Rather than testing them, it is better to say that it is testing Jiang Hao.

If Jiang Hao really dares to accept the invitation of the Golden Horde and walk out of the prison, then there will be bloodshed here today.

On the contrary, if Jiang Hao refuses the invitation of the Golden Horde and does not walk out of the prison, then they don't have to do it again.

Although the order of the empress cannot be disobeyed, facing the world-famous Duke of Wei, there are still many people present who are unwilling to start a war from the bottom of their hearts, at least, they don't want the Duke of Wei to die in their hands.

However, at this time, the commander of the Yulin stepped forward with a bad look, staring at the King of Samo, and asked murderously: "You all entered the prison, why did you come out alone, I wonder if the envoy can give us an explanation?"

The King of Samo did not change his expression: "They intended to forcibly abduct the Duke of Wei. In order to avoid conflict between the two countries, I had to stand up to stop them. Now their bodies are in the prison."

This is what they had agreed on long ago.

Of course, when he returns to the Golden Horde and faces the Golden Horde Khan, the Samoth Prince will definitely have another story.

Anyway, he just says one thing to one person and another to another, fooling both sides.

Hearing this, the Huben Commander and the Yulin Commander looked at each other again, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But seeing the Samoth Prince's solemn promise, they couldn't tell what was wrong.

They immediately sent people to the Heavenly Prison to investigate.

After a while, the people they sent reported that the Duke of Wei was indeed still in the Heavenly Prison.

And the Golden Horde envoys such as Baldon also turned into corpses.

Judging from the remaining breath on the corpse, it seems that they were indeed killed by the hands of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse.

In such a large Heavenly Prison, except for the Samoth Prince, there seems to be no other Heavenly Realm powerhouse.

So, did the Samoth Prince really clean up the house himself?

The leaders of the Huben and Yulin looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Imperial Palace.

Soon a female official reported the news from the Tianlao.

Ji Luoyao nodded slightly, indicating that she knew.

Then she waved her hand to dismiss the female official who came to report.

"Uncle, it seems that you guessed wrong. He did not accept the invitation of the Golden Horde and still stayed in the Tianlao."

Ji Luoyao's beautiful face could not help but show a smug smile.

The person sitting opposite her at this moment was Prince Duan Ji Yuanheng.

Prince Duan's expression did not change. He did not look like he had guessed wrong, but rather as if he had expected it. He looked up and said calmly, "Your Majesty seems very happy that he did not come out of the prison?"

Ji Luoyao was stunned when he heard this, then he restrained his smile and said expressionlessly, "I just feel a little relieved. Although he made many mistakes, he did not forget where his roots were after all, and did not do such acts of betrayal..."

Prince Duan shook his head and did not further expose the empress. He just asked, "If he really walked out of the prison, would your majesty kill him?"

Ji Luoyao was silent for a moment, then looked up and said indifferently, "Traitors should be killed, no matter who this person is!"

"In this case, then this old minister asks your majesty to execute Jiang Hao in secret!"

Prince Duan suddenly asked solemnly.

Hearing this, Ji Luoyao was shocked and looked at Prince Duan with an unbelievable look.

"Uncle, why is it so?"

"Isn't Duke Weiguo your best friend? You asked me to clear his name before, but now... you want me to execute him in secret?"

Ji Luoyao really couldn't understand why Prince Duan did this.

Prince Duan explained calmly:

"This is a different time. If Your Majesty had pardoned him at that time, everything could still be saved, but at this moment, everything is too late!"

"Your Majesty is right. Duke Weiguo is indeed my best friend. I cherish his talent and respect his character, but how can personal friendship be compared with my Ji family's kingdom?"

"It is precisely because I have a close personal relationship with him that I understand his threat and fear even more."

"Although he himself is powerless, he has the ability to turn the world around. Any force, as long as it gets his help, can immediately threaten the ruling position of the Great Zhou. How can such a person be kept forever?"

Facing Prince Duan's burning gaze, Ji Luoyao was a little flustered for a while, and couldn't help but retorted: "But he has not rebelled at the moment, how can he be executed without guilt? "

Hearing the empress's words, Prince Duan was so confused that he almost couldn't hold back.

Executed without guilt?

Isn't this your own operation?

You fabricated some charges and put Duke Wei in prison. Do you really think everyone in the world is a fool?

But the person in front of him, although he is his niece, is currently the ruler of the Great Zhou.

Prince Duan did not refute directly, but said earnestly: "Your Majesty, when that time comes, I'm afraid it will be too late! "

Ji Luoyao opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She knew very well that Prince Duan was right. It would be too late when the time came.

And she knew after hitting a wall with Jiang Hao last time that Jiang Hao could no longer help her like before.

In this case, keeping Jiang Hao was not only useless, but also a big threat.

It would be better to follow Prince Duan's suggestion and execute him secretly, once and for all, and never let him go!

But... she was unwilling to kill him like this.

Ji Luoyao was wavering in her heart.

After a while, she took a deep breath and finally said:

"Don't worry, uncle, I will arrange people to strengthen the guards of the prison and will not give him the opportunity to escape from the prison. Moreover, he is a smart man and will stay in the prison honestly and will never put himself in danger! "

When Prince Duan heard this, his face changed slightly, and he could not help but persuade again: "Your Majesty, you..."

But Ji Luoyao had no interest in talking anymore, and directly interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, uncle, there is no need to mention this matter anymore, I have my own ideas!"

Seeing her determined attitude, Prince Duan sighed helplessly and could only say: "If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. I just hope that Your Majesty will not be soft-hearted when that time comes!"

Ji Luoyao's eyes condensed, and he immediately said coldly: "If there really comes such a day, I will personally send him off!"
