Three Imperial Cities, It rained heavily all night, and when it dawned in the east, the heavy rain gradually stopped.
Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, there were corpses all over the ground, several women and women who had been knocked unconscious woke up, their eyes were confused at first, and after a while, they were so frightened by the sight that they saw that they trembled all over.
The next moment, shrill shouts echoed through Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, so sad that it made people shudder.
Not long after, in the imperial city, teams of Imperial Guards came running quickly. The leader, dressed in heavy armor and majestic, was none other than Imperial Guards Commander Xuan Mo.
Pushing the Hou Mansion away, his eyes were filled with blood, Xuan Mo's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.
In just one night, Qingyuan Marquis's Estate was almost completely slaughtered, leaving only a few women, children and maids alive, which is really unbelievable.
"Commander, these are all stab wounds. There should be only one murderer."
After several guards inspected several corpses, they came back to report.
"Huh?"
Xuan Mo looked slightly condensed when he heard this. Is there only one person? How is that possible!
"Come inside and have a look."
Xuan Mo said something and immediately walked towards the back of the Hou Mansion.
In the deepest part of the Hou Mansion, after the battle, it was a mess. The king who died in the battle had his eyes wide open and refused to rest in peace.
Xuan Mo squatted down and checked the injuries on Marquis Qingyuan's body. He frowned and saw that it was still a stab wound. As expected, there was only one murderer.
However, in this imperial city, there were only a handful of people who could massacre the entire Qingyuan Marquis's Estate without anyone noticing, and as far as he knew, there was no reason among these people to do this.
Moreover, although Marquis Qingyuan has aged and lost his vitality and blood, he still retains a king-level combat power. He shouldn't be so vulnerable.
Even if Marquis Qingyuan is no match for the murderer, he should still be able to escape or call for help.
After thinking for a long time, it was difficult to figure out the reason. Xuan Mo stood up, looked at Imperial Guards behind him, and said, "Seal the entire Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, and no one can enter."
"Yes!"
At the rear, teams of Imperial Guards took orders and left quickly.
At the same time, First Prince and Third Prince's Manor, the secret report came in. After Xuanzhen and Xuan Qing saw it, their expressions all changed.
Qingyuan Marquis's Estate was destroyed! how so?
"Brother, what happened?"
Among Crown Prince's Estate, Fifth Prince asked in confusion.
"Qingyuan Marquis's Estate Something happened."
Xuanzhen handed over the secret report and said in a deep voice, "Send someone immediately to find out who did this!"
Fifth Prince took a look at the secret report, his expression suddenly changed, he responded without any more nonsense, and immediately walked directly out of the hall.
Third Prince's Manor, in the royal palace, Xuan Qing handed over the secret report in his hand and said, "What do you think?"
Sixth Prince Xuan Yu received the secret report, read the contents, and said in a solemn voice, "We still can't tell who did it. There are many masters of swords in the imperial city, but there are only a handful of people who can kill Qingyuan Marquis's Estate in one night without anyone noticing."
"Go back to First Imperial Brother and have a look. If something happens to Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, our First Imperial Brother will be the most heartbroken." Xuan Qing said with a sneer.
"Yeah"
Xuan Yu nodded and said, "Third Imperial Brother Be careful these days. If something happens to Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, First Imperial Brother's first suspect will definitely be you, the emperor."
"I understand."
Xuan Qing nodded. Now that the situation in the imperial city is becoming increasingly tense, Qingyuan Marquis's Estate has suffered a catastrophe, and the eyes of all forces will definitely focus on the Third Prince's Manor.
Presumably, the two Demon Emperors also knew about this matter. Since their father was not here at this time, it was really troublesome.
Xuan Yu left the palace, and in the royal palace, Xuan Qing stood quietly, his expression becoming more solemn.
My father was just trapped in Farthest East, and such a big thing happened in Three Imperial Cities. Is it really just a coincidence?
Ninth Prince's Manor, not long after the secret report was sent back, Xuan Que left the house and walked directly towards the Thirteenth Prince's Manor.
The news that Three Imperial Cities, Qingyuan Marquis's Estate was destroyed spread quickly, shaking all parties, and dark clouds enveloped the entire imperial city, making people breathless.
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Ning Chen, who single-handedly caused the current situation, sat quietly in the palace drinking tea, with a calm look on his face, and no disturbance could be seen.
"Your Highness, Ninth Prince would like to see you."
A guard walked over quickly and said respectfully.
"Please."
Ning Chen put down the tea in his hand and said.
"Yes"
The guard took the order and turned to leave.
Not long after, Ninth Prince entered the mansion and walked toward the palace.
Ning Chen stood up and walked to the front of the hall to greet him.
"Ninth Imperial Brother."
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother, something happened."
Xuan Que stepped forward and said with a heavy expression, "Have you received the message?"
"What's the matter?"
Ning Chen said indifferently.
"Last night, Qingyuan Marquis's Estate was slaughtered from top to bottom. Even Marquis Qingyuan was not spared. Now Imperial Guards has blocked Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, no entry or exit is allowed. When I came, the entire imperial city was full of Imperial Guards figures. I think the imperial city must have been under martial law now." Xuan Que said in a solemn voice.
"Marquis Qingyuan?"
Ning Chen frowned and said, "Isn't that a member of First Imperial Brother's group? Could it be Third Imperial Brother's doing?"
Xuan Que heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he scolded softly, "Thirteenth Imperial Brother, don't talk nonsense, this is a serious sin, you can't say it casually."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I understand. Only Ninth Imperial Brother and I are here. I dare to say this. I will pay attention in front of outsiders."
Xuan Que nodded and said, "Actually, what you just said is also the speculation of most people. Qingyuan Marquis's Estate was destroyed, and Third Imperial Brother is indeed the most suspected. However, nothing is absolute. It is possible that someone deliberately framed Third Imperial Brother for doing such an inhumane thing."
"If this is the case, the person who did it must have sinister intentions." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Xuan Que sighed softly and said, "No one knows the truth now. I am here to inform Thirteenth Imperial Brother that at this time, you must be careful. What happened to Qingyuan Marquis's Estate will definitely cause a big shock. If someone splashes dirty water on him at this time, there will be endless troubles."
"Ninth Imperial Brother too."
Ning Chen said seriously, "Be careful."
"Yeah"
Xuan Que nodded and said, "I have to go back to deal with Marquis Qingyuan's matter, so I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave first."
"Brother Imperial, please." Ning Chen responded.
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother Stay."
Xuan Que said something and immediately walked out of the house.
Ning Chen looked at the former's leaving figure, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and he turned back to the palace.
In the palace, Shi Yu heard the conversation between the two, and thought of the vitality of His Highness when he came back last night, and his heart surged.
"Don't make random guesses."
Ning Chen scolded with a smile and said, "The tea is a little cold, go and warm it up."
"Yes"
Shi Yu respectfully accepted the order, stepped forward, and took out the tea.
Outside the palace, Shi Qing looked at Shi Yu who walked out, and whispered, "Sister, what happened to Qingyuan Marquis's Estate, was it your Highness who did it?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Shi Yu's face fell, and he scolded, "You know, nothing happened yesterday, and His Highness never left the house!"
Hearing the reprimand, Shi Qing was startled and nodded immediately, not daring to say anything more.
In the hall, Ning Chen looked at the scene outside the hall, smiled slightly, and didn't care.
In the imperial city, from dawn to sunset, Imperial Guards came and went, trying their best to search for the whereabouts of the murderer.
The tense atmosphere permeated the entire imperial city, and everyone from the dignitaries to the common people were in panic.
In the west, the sun sets and the sky becomes dark, Imperial Guards also begins to change duty one after another.
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, in the main hall, Ning Chen sat quietly for a day, waiting for the sunset.
In the mansion, the lights were on and when the sky was completely dark, Ning Chen stood up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
Shi Yu Shi Qing looked shocked when he saw this. Your Highness wants to leave the house?
"Your Highness."
Shi Qing couldn't hold it back and called out.
Ning Chen stopped, turned around and looked at the two worried women in front of the palace, smiled and said, "Just a few small things to do, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Ning Chen said no more and walked out of the house.
In the imperial city, Plain-clothed Figure flashed past at extremely fast speed, and Near Yet Far was already a hundred miles away in an instant.
Beizhen King's Estate, dressed in plain clothes, arrived, held the knife, and started to kill.
Blood splattered, and the guard in front of the palace fell down without even seeing the face of the person coming.
After a few breaths, in the palace, sword lights flashed across the night, Underworld King Yama, ruthlessly accepting his life.
"Boom!"
Not long after, King's Estate, the hall collapsed suddenly, Plain-clothed Figure walked out, dragged the knife and left.
"King!"
In the palace, desolate cries echoed through the night sky.
In the imperial city, Imperial Guards heard the noise and immediately rushed to Beizhen King's Estate.
On the other side of the imperial city, Xuan Mo received the report and rushed over quickly.
Inside Beizhen King's Estate, blood flowed freely, and the same scene as Qingyuan Marquis's Estate appeared before everyone's eyes, which was shocking.
His Royal Highness collapsed, the king died, and the knife wound that penetrated the chest destroyed the king's life.
Xuan Mo looked at the scene in front of him, his face became more and more serious. Who is this person and what is his purpose?
Marquis Qingyuan and King Beizhen, although they are not the top experts among the King Realm, they are not people who can be manipulated by others. Now they were killed without anyone noticing, without even a chance to ask for help.
Could it be that someone at the peak of the king's level took action? However, there are only a few strong men at the pinnacle of kings in the Primeval Demonic Realm, and they are not among Three Imperial Cities. If they enter the city, he should not be unaware at all.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo sighed softly in his heart, Three Imperial Cities, I'm afraid it will be a big mess.
First Prince's Manor, in the main hall, Xuanzhen's expression suddenly changed when he heard the hidden stake report in front of the hall.
King Beizhen Something happened too?
Almost at the same time, the news of the assassinations of the Third Prince's Manor and King Beizhen came. Xuan Qing heard about it, and his expression also changed.
It's someone from First Prince's lineage again, and we're in trouble.
He was not sure before, but this time, he was now sure that someone was deliberately setting the blame on him.
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Ning Chen stood quietly in front of the palace, looking at the turmoil in the imperial city, his eyes getting colder and colder.
He wanted to see how long First Prince could sit still. Even if he could sit still, his supporters would not be able to remain calm.
No one hopes that the butcher's knife will fall on their head next time. First Prince If there is no action, the hearts of those kings and powerful nobles will soon be scattered.
However, if First Prince wants to take action, the butcher's knife must fall on Third Prince's lineage. In this case, the battle between the two princes will become completely intense.
