Inside the Tiandou Palace.
When Tang San and the Fourth Elder entered the palace, Xue Xing took them both into Xue Beng's residence.
Coincidentally, this scene was recorded by the soul guide.
The guards in the palace arrested them all before Xue Qinghe could even speak.
"Uncle Emperor, look at what you have done." Xue Qinghe stood in front of the throne that symbolized the emperor, looking at Xue Xing and the others with sharp eyes.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe was intimidating without even getting angry, and already had the aura of a king.
Xue Xing and Xue Beng lowered their heads, not daring to look each other in the eye.
Xue Xing never figured out why Tang San and the Fourth Elder would try to assassinate Xue Ye. Once Xue Ye died, Xue Qinghe would definitely ascend the throne with the support of a group of ministers. As a result, Xue Beng would completely lose his competitiveness for the throne.
He couldn't figure out why the Haotian Sect did this. He even suspected that Xue Qinghe and the Haotian Sect were secretly doing something unspeakable.
Xue Xing did not beg for mercy, but said with an indignant look: "Xue Qinghe, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since the king and Beng'er have fallen into your hands, you can kill them or rob them as you please."
A minister accused him at this time: "Prince Xuexing, you are really confused. His Majesty is bedridden, and you actually sent people to the palace to assassinate him. Are you still His Majesty's brother? This is tantamount to treason."
As he spoke, he looked at Xue Qinghe respectfully, bowed and said, "Your Highness, please demote Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng to commoners and put them in the Heavenly Prison."
Xue Qinghe waved his hands and said sternly, "Uncle, brother, you two are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and father and I turned a blind eye to it. But I never expected that you would actually commit assassination. Such disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial acts, if I still consider the feelings of brothers and sisters, how will the world see it, how will the Spirit Hall and the Xingluo Empire see it!"
"I hereby declare that Xue Xing and Xue Beng will be demoted to commoners and deprived of their right to enter the royal ancestral hall. Come, throw these two lunatics into jail and execute them in the street in three days!"
Hearing the word "execution", Xue Beng's legs went limp and he begged for mercy: "Royal brother, you can't do this to me. I still have fiefs, and I am willing to return all of them to the empire and stay away from Tiandou City. Royal brother, please let me live."
"Your Highness." All the ministers shook their heads.
As long as the avalanche is not removed, Xue Qinghe's throne will be unstable. Once the tiger is released back into the mountains, who knows whether the avalanche will gather a large army and affect the security of the Tiandou Empire.
Xue Qinghe walked up to Xue Beng and said helplessly, "Royal brother, you should never send someone to assassinate my father. Since you can even assassinate my father, if I let you go, will you dare to assassinate me in the future?"
"That's right, Your Highness. Such lunatics must be beheaded to comfort Your Majesty's spirit in heaven!" All the ministers echoed.
Xue Xing looked as pale as death. In this situation, unless someone could break into the prison, they would have no chance of survival.
It was a pity that he had already used up Dugu Bo's favor to save Xue Beng's life. Otherwise, he could at least save his own life this time because of Dugu Bo's favor.
His heart was filled with regret and annoyance. At first, he supported Xue Qinghe. If it weren't for his greed, he wouldn't have turned to support Xue Beng in order to gain greater convenience.
It was too late to say anything now. Since he was already deeply bound to the avalanche, he would naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.
After Xue Beng and the other man were taken away from the palace, all the ministers advised in unison: "Your Highness, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible and lead the entire empire."
Since the coup, Qian Renxue has returned to Wuhun City with Snake Spear and Bloodthirsty. The Xue Qinghe in front of him is just a substitute sent by Wuhun Palace. He has only one mission, which is to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Xue Qinghe remained silent, which was considered as his tacit agreement with the ministers' proposal.
He doesn't need to do anything for what happens next, as the ministers will take care of everything.
…
Outside Tiandou City.
After getting the latest issue of Wuhun Daily, Tang San knew that Ning Fengzhi would definitely escape with them.
In a forest outside the city, everyone waited for a while and soon Ning Fengzhi arrived.
"Uncle Ning, let's leave the Heaven Dou Empire first. We will discuss what happens next." Tang San went up to Ning Fengzhi and advised him.
Ning Fengzhi naturally wouldn't be stubborn, and he sighed and said, "Hey~ In the territory of Yunluo Principality of Xingluo Empire, there is a property purchased by Qibao Liuli Sect many years ago. We will go there to hide, and when the time is right, we will definitely return to Tiandou Empire."
Ning Fengzhi secretly got angry! How could he bear that Xue Qinghe, who had invested more than ten years in him, kicked him out when he was about to ascend the throne?
As for their properties in the Xing Luo Empire, they were purchased by the former leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
The disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect did not have strong strength. Given the environment of the continent at that time, the former sect master knew that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be targeted sooner or later. The real estate purchased in the Xingluo Empire in advance was for the disciples to take refuge when the sect encountered danger.
Unexpectedly, the foresight of the former sect leader would prevent Ning Fengzhi from reaching a dead end today.
"Third brother, are you still in touch with Xiao Ao? After we leave the Tiandou Empire, Xiao Ao may never find us." Ning Rongrong's heart had long been numb, but every time she thought of Oscar, she felt a pang of heartache.
Oscar is a food-type soul master with full innate soul power. On the battlefield, the food provided by a food-type soul master is likely to turn the tide of the battle. Tang San will not give up Oscar no matter what.
But the other party traveled around the continent without making much noise, so finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Rongrong, there are a small number of disciples of the Power Clan lurking in Tiandou City. If Xiao Ao comes to Tiandou City, they will inform Xiao Ao of our departure." Tang San said comfortingly.
The situation in Tiandou City is very important. The lurking disciples of the Li clan are equivalent to their spies planted in Tiandou City.
The Wuhun Daily will report major events that happen across the continent, but there are some things that all major forces will keep silent about. It is definitely unrealistic to rely on the Wuhun Daily's reports.
Moreover, the news released by Spirit Hall has also been screened.
…
At the same time, Ma Hongjun and Oscar had arrived at the outskirts of Tiandou City.
In view of what was happening in the city, they were not in a hurry to enter the city and planned to wait outside the city for a while.
"How could Xiao San be so foolish that he actually assassinated His Majesty Xue Ye." Oscar said as he walked, obviously he didn't believe that this was done by Tang San.
Ma Hongjun shrugged. Although he had a bad relationship with Tang San, assassinating a king was obviously impossible for a man who respected his teachers.
Not long after they walked, they noticed a lot of people gathered in the woods ahead.
"Xiao Ao, there are so many people gathered in front. Did something happen?" Ma Hongjun asked in surprise.
“Great, Fatty, let’s go over and take a look, maybe Rongrong and Sect Master Ning are among them.
Ma Hongjun nodded slightly.
Oscar stepped forward and said hello, and the people who were about to leave soon noticed his presence.
"Oscar~" Hearing the familiar voice, Ning Rongrong hurried over and threw herself into Oscar's arms.
Oscar was very happy to see Ning Rongrong. He patted Ning Rongrong on the back and said comfortingly, "Rongrong, you suffered during the time I was away. Don't worry, I won't leave again."
As he spoke, Oscar opened his arms and was about to hug Ning Rongrong. Suddenly, he saw Ning Fengzhi's figure. His body instantly froze in place, and even his voice became stammering, "Master Ningning."
Unexpectedly, Ning Fengzhi did not stop him. He simply said, "We will go first, you guys follow later."
After saying that, he and Gu Rong walked towards the direction away from Tiandou City.
Tang San and Dai Mubai followed and smiled when they saw Oscar.
Just as he was about to say hello, he suddenly noticed Ma Hongjun behind Oscar. The faces of both of them darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"How dare you come back, Fatty, and betray your brothers? I'll make you pay." Dai Mubai shouted angrily and was about to step forward to teach Ma Hongjun a lesson, but was blocked by Tang San.
"Xiao San, are you going to help this fat guy?" Seeing that it was Tang San, Dai Mubai softened his tone a little.
Tang San shook his head, the arrow in his hand already quietly loaded, "Mu Bai, let me do it. I want to let this fat guy know the consequences of betraying our Shrek."
Ma Hongjun's teacher, Flanders, has betrayed Shrek, but due to the opponent's strength, Tang San is temporarily unable to clean up the mess; but he is still capable of killing Ma Hongjun alone.
He slowly raised his right hand and was about to kill Ma Hongjun with a hidden weapon when Oscar stood in front of him.
"Xiao San, stop for a moment. Fatty is not what you think."
"Xiao Ao, what's wrong with you? Why are you hanging out with this fat guy? Are you planning to betray Shrek Academy too?" Dai Mubai took two steps forward and shouted loudly.
Ning Rongrong quickly stood in front of Oscar and said, "Boss Dai, calm down. How could Oscar betray Shrek? I won't allow you to slander Oscar."
Seeing that Shrek was about to have an internal conflict, Yu Xiaogang quickly stood up and said, "Xiao San, Mu Bai, calm down. Ma Hongjun is also a member of our Shrek. Is this how you treat your classmates?!"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun was a little surprised. When he betrayed Shrek Academy, it was Yu Xiaogang who shouted the loudest. Yu Xiaogang even wanted to skin him alive.
I haven't seen you for five years. How come Yu Xiaogang has changed so quickly?
Tang San was also puzzled. He turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang. "Teacher, Fatty betrayed Shrek Academy and colluded with Han Yu. We..."
Yu Xiaogang waved his hands and put them behind his back, "Xiao San, Mu Bai, follow me."
After saying that, he walked aside by himself.
Tang San and Dai Mubai looked at each other and hurried to catch up.
Seeing that they had walked far enough, Yu Xiaogang said, "Xiao San, Mu Bai, if we want to take revenge on the Spirit Hall, we must accumulate enough strength. Although Ma Hongjun is morally corrupt, his innate spirit power has reached the ninth level. Xiao San, I told you that innate spirit power determines the end point of a spirit master's cultivation. You should know what the ninth level of innate spirit power means."
Tang San nodded and replied: "With innate spirit power above level eight, as long as you continue to practice, you will almost certainly become a Titled Douluo. With innate spirit power of level nine, you can almost become the top of the Titled Douluo. Teacher, do you mean that we should make peace with Fatty and pull him onto our chariot?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao San, you are worthy of being my disciple. That's right, with Ma Hongjun's talent, he is very likely to become a strong man among the Titled Douluo. We just need to guide him well, and he will be a great help to us in the future."
"Flanders has already surrendered to Han Yu. If Ma Hongjun joins Canaan Chamber of Commerce with him, we will undoubtedly have one more enemy. As for Ma Hongjun's betrayal of Shrek Academy, this matter must not be let go. After we successfully take revenge on Spirit Hall and Han Yu, Xiaosan, it will be easy for you and Mu Bai to kill him, right?"
Hearing this, Tang San and Dai Mubai suddenly realized.
In other words, they first squeezed out Ma Hongjun's value and then killed him. Without a doubt, this would be the biggest punishment for Ma Hongjun!
Tang San and Dai Mubai are naturally confident that they can surpass Ma Hongjun in strength.
"Master, we understand."
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaosan, you and Mu Bai go find Ma Hongjun. Remember, don't let him find out."
After a little thought, Tang San found a reason.
Soon, he and Dai Mubai greeted Ma Hongjun with a smile.
Ma Hongjun was just planning to take advantage of the opportunity when Dai Mubai and Tang San were called away to escape, but Oscar tried to stop him.
If they hadn't supported each other during these years of training, they would have been killed by soul beasts long ago. Ma Hongjun knew the dangers of traveling alone on the continent. If he could stay, he would be happy.
Seeing the expressions of Tang San and the other man, Ma Hongjun's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to run away, he heard Tang San say, "Fatty, we wronged you."
"Hmm~"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun looked confused.
Coming back to his senses, Oscar hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, what's going on?"
Tang San stepped forward and told the reason he had thought of, "During the days when the teacher was in the Spirit Hall, I accidentally heard something. Fatty, you were secretly hooked by Han Yu. He secretly guided you, and eventually you betrayed the interests of the academy."
Ma Hongjun didn't think so. It was clearly him who took the initiative to find Han Yu.
However, since Tang San had given him a chance, there was no reason for him not to take it. "Third brother, I..."
"Fatty, you don't have to say anything. This was Han Yu's despicable act. He tried to disintegrate Shrek from within. Fortunately, the teacher discovered it in time, otherwise we might have really misunderstood you."
Dai Mubai said, "Fatty, welcome back to our Shrek. Tianheng and Tailong have already set off. When we catch up with them, our Shrek Seven Devils will be reunited."
As for Xiao Wu, there's no way she'll come back.
