In the Central Holy Kingdom, the Common People's Hall, above the court hall, hundreds of civil and military officials were seated, with the prince and the seventeenth princes on both sides!

Now the Holy Emperor is in seclusion, and the Seventeenth Prince and the Crown Prince are acting in government affairs.

"Huh? Why are there so many people missing from the main hall today? Are you on leave?" After His Highness the Crown Prince walked into the majestic Cangsheng Hall, he looked back and saw the official Dacheng standing in the court hall. As much as half!

"Yes, yesterday I felt that there were a few people there. I thought they were on leave, but today I saw that there were a lot less people?" The seventeenth prince also felt that something was abnormal!

The whole hall of ministers was silent, and many ministers were even trembling.

The entire Cangsheng Hall was shrouded in a cloud of suspicion!

"What's going on? Can someone tell me?" The prince looked at the officials and roared angrily.

"Prince, calm down!" Millions knelt on the ground, praying to calm down.

Finally, Tai Fu Bai Ye, who was behind the Crown Prince, stood up and said: "Your Highness, there have been officials absent from the morning court in the past few days. I have gone to check and they did not ask for leave. I felt that there was a reason for the matter, so I went to your Lord's mansion, but... Found...they had already been killed!"

"What!" The prince and the seventeenth prince both looked at Bai Ye with wide eyes!

"Yes! Counting the more than 20 ministers who are not present today, there should be more than a hundred ministers who have died in the city of God!" Bai Ye said lightly: "Including Cabinet Minister Zhang Nianhua, Minister of War Su An, Ling Hai, Minister of Defense of the Divine Capital, and Pan Longfeng, Minister of Military Affairs of the Central Holy Kingdom..."

Hearing Bai Ye announce the names of the dead ministers one by one, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventeenth Prince broke out in cold sweat.

"Now that hundreds of ministers have been killed, the news has already spread in the city of God!" Bai Ye said calmly.

"Brother, let the Xuanjian Division investigate!" A large number of court ministers were killed. The Seventeenth Prince also felt that this was not a trivial matter, and immediately said to His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and said: "Not only do we need the Xuanjian Division to investigate, but to be able to assassinate so many ministers in just a few days must be the work of some powerful forces in the divine capital, and they are well prepared. , at least they know the formation of these ministers’ offices very well, otherwise, they would not be able to kill so many ministers so easily!”

"Where is the general? There are people in the capital of God who are causing trouble like this. What crime do you deserve?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately roared. The imperial general is responsible for the defense of the divine capital. Now that someone is assassinating the ministers of the court in the divine capital, the first person to be held accountable is the imperial general for his unfavorable defense.

"Reporting to His Majesty the Crown Prince, the Imperial General did not come today..." a minister responded.

"Not coming..." His Highness the Crown Prince glared.

"If the imperial general hadn't come, the situation would probably be much worse!" Bai Ye said calmly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately said: "Master, immediately take my jade order and take over the troops of the imperial general. Immediately cooperate with the Xuanjian Division to investigate who did it. Once found out, kill him on the spot immediately!"

"yes!"

Taifu Baiye received the order on the spot!

…

In the divine capital, the streets and alleys are bustling with activity!

"Another minister has been killed!"

"The imperial general has been killed!"

"In the yamen of the imperial general's mansion, the blood is so high that someone risked his life to go in and take a look. There are corpses everywhere inside, and there is no one left alive!"

Someone shouted in the street.

Immediately, the news that the imperial general was killed spread throughout the streets and alleys of the divine capital, causing people to panic!

In a tavern, a person smiled cruelly and said: "This must be the hundredth minister killed in the past three days!"

"One hundred and seven!" someone sneered.

"It is said that the forces that assassinated these ministers also announced the crimes of these ministers and threw them on the corpses. Every piece of evidence of these crimes was enough to make them dead and injured hundreds of times. It is a pity that in the past, they were so moral and respected that they could not People can deal with them, but today there are finally people who can’t stand it anymore and want to do justice for God!”

In the tavern, many warriors seemed to be watching this matter with excitement.

At the moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventeenth Prince are busy mobilizing the Xuanjian Division and troops from various places.

The Xuanjian Division is responsible for investigating the case.

Nowadays, many ministers in the divine capital who have not been assassinated are also panic-stricken. They can't help but contact their old friends. Some ministers have even begun to mobilize the Longwu Army's legions to secretly protect their government offices!

In just a few days, the legions in the divine capital were almost divided up one by one by these ministers.

There is nothing to be done about it. These ministers have immense power in the divine capital. Naturally, there are several generals and military princes who want to curry favor with them. When they hear that they are in trouble, these generals and military princes are eager to immediately dispatch their legions to protect them!

Prince's Mansion!

A guard ran in and said: "Your Highness, Lord Mowenshen invites you to go to the palace of Prince Rong to discuss matters!"

"He asked me to come over to discuss matters? Who is he? Does he think he is the Holy Emperor? I am the Crown Prince of the Central Holy Kingdom, how can I allow him to dispatch me?" His Highness the Crown Prince roared: "Now the city of God is about to fall into chaos. It’s a mess, the dead minister wants to find out the truth, and the living minister keeps petitioning the Holy Kingdom to send troops for protection!”

"He thinks I'm not busy enough, right?"

"If you don't want to go, tell him to get out and leave me alone!"

The prince roared angrily!

Bad Mansion, inside the Sword Alliance!

"How is the situation?" Lin Bai asked softly as he walked between the sword alliance towers.

"That's almost it. According to Lord Ye Di, more than a hundred ministers have been killed." Bai He said in a low voice.

"It's not enough! Continue!" Lin Bai said softly: "And this time, I want to scare the prince and the seventeenth prince, so that the brothers can be careful. Just scare them, you can't kill them!"

Bai He frowned and asked: "Since Lord Ye Di knows that he can't be killed, why do you still..."

Lin Bai chuckled and said: "After all, it is the crown prince and the seventeenth prince who are in power now. Only when their lives are threatened can the foundation of the city of God be shaken! In addition, I asked you to deceive a few cronies in Prince Rong's palace. You succeeded. ?"

Bai He said: "Success!"

Lin Bai said: "Very good, let Yi Ersan become a close confidant of Prince Rong, and let these people who have been successfully deceived by you follow you together. After entering the Prince's Mansion and the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion, let the brothers quickly Leave and leave these people behind!"

"I understand, then I'll make arrangements right away!"

Bai He stepped back in response.

That night, hundreds of soldiers in black attacked the Prince's Mansion and the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion.

But fortunately, there were many experts in the Prince's Mansion and the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion, and they blocked all the intruding men in black.

But even so, these men in black seemed to be determined to die. Even though the people in the Prince's Mansion and the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion tried their best to resist, they still injured the Crown Prince and the Seventeenth Prince.

Especially when they caught a few men in black, and they claimed to be... people from Prince Rong's Mansion!

In the seventeenth prince's palace, the seventeenth prince was sitting on a chair with serious injuries. Looking at the dozen men in black who were caught in front of him, he immediately said coldly: "Tell me! Who are you?"

"Seventeenth Prince, we are from Prince Rong's palace. We received a secret order from the prince to assassinate someone... But we did not expect that it was the Seventeenth Prince... Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding in this!" The men in black also hurriedly explained.

In fact, when they arrived at the yamen of the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion, they felt that they had been deceived, but at that time they had already fought with the guards in the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion, and they could not withdraw for a moment.

When they came back to their senses, they found that the man in black who came with them had long disappeared, and they were already surrounded by the guards of the seventeenth prince!

"Prince Rong!" The Seventeenth Prince growled through gritted teeth.
