I was imprisoned by the Empress at the beginning, and I was secretly invincible

The King of Yan is dead!

This incident soon caused a great uproar in Yongsui City.

No, it was more than a great uproar.

Yongsui City was the old nest of the King of Yan for many years.

In a sense, the King of Yan was the sky of Yongsui City.

The death of the King of Yan was no less than a bolt from the blue for many people in Yongsui City, or it could be said that the sky... had collapsed!

At the same time, the news quickly spread out at an alarming speed.

The first to arrive were the other seven princes who had joined the rebellion with the King of Yan.

"Is the King of Yan really dead?"

After entering the King of Yan's mansion, the seven princes were all shocked to see the mess.

Originally, they did not believe the news and thought someone was joking with them.

After all, the King of Yan was such a person that he was accompanied by a large number of guards when he traveled. In addition, the King of Yan himself was not a weakling, so how could he be assassinated so easily?

Not to mention that the assassination took place in the Prince of Yan's mansion in Yongsui City.

In their opinion, this was simply a fairy tale.

But at this moment, seeing the dead body of the Prince of Yan with their own eyes, they had to believe it.

"Who dares to be so bold as to assassinate the prince in broad daylight?"

The Prince of Lu, whose prestige was no less than that of the Prince of Yan among the seven princes, immediately shouted angrily.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the Lord of Yongsui City.

The Lord of Yongsui City was not only the confidant of the Prince of Yan, but also the second person in Yongsui City.

He naturally had an unshirkable responsibility for such a big thing.

Facing the unfriendly eyes of the seven princes, the Lord of Yongsui City couldn't help sweating profusely. He knew very well that if he couldn't explain the matter clearly, he would probably follow the Prince of Yan today.

"My lords, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"According to the information gathered from the servants of the palace, the murderers should be three Taoists. They sneaked into the city this morning, and then deceived His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan under false pretenses. After entering the mansion, they took the opportunity to commit the crime, and then left. The whole process was swift and resolute."

"When I learned of this bad news, I immediately led people to block the entire city, but it was still a step too late and I didn't catch them."

The Lord of Yongsui City swallowed hard and explained with a look of panic.

After listening to his explanation, several princes frowned slightly, and they were naturally not satisfied with this explanation.

However, they did not say much, but looked at an old man who was walking with them.

The old man did not waste words, and immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the body of the Prince of Yan.

And the commander Lu, Yao Zhijia and others next to him were not let go.

After a moment, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and then slowly spoke:

"According to the situation at the scene of the crime, hundreds of people in this mansion had no power to resist before they died. They were slaughtered in a short moment. If I am not mistaken, it should be three Tianren Realm masters who acted at the same time... So, this matter really cannot be blamed on this city lord. Even if the army in the city gathers, it may not be able to catch three Tianren Realm masters!"

"What...what?"

"Three Tianren Realm masters?"

"You said that three Tianren Realm masters acted at the same time?"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Including the city lord of Yongsui City, he was also horrified.

He originally thought that among the three Taoists, there was one Tianren Realm master, or at most two Tianren Realm masters, but he didn't expect that all three of them were Tianren Realm masters.

At this moment, he suddenly felt lucky that he didn't stop the three Taoists, otherwise, he would not be alive now...

At the same time, no one else spoke.

If it was really the three Heavenly Realm masters who acted together, then everything could be explained.

But in this case, a new question came up...

Where did these three Heavenly Realm masters come from?

Or, what virtue and ability did the King of Yan have to attract three Heavenly Realm masters to assassinate him together?

Each of the Heavenly Realm masters is a well-known figure, and they are all Taishan Beidou-level existences in the martial arts world.

If you really compare them, their status in the martial arts world may not be much worse than those of the vassal kings.

Except for the Black Witch Cult Pope Helian Feng, who was willing to be driven by the King of Yan in order to revitalize the Black Witch Cult.

Other Heavenly Realm masters are the masters of one side, and even if the vassal kings speak, the other side may not give face.

How could such a person degenerate into an assassin?

If this were to be spread out, wouldn't the other Heavenly Realm experts laugh at him to death!

They couldn't afford to lose this person!"So, who are these three Taoists?"

Everyone looked at the old man again.

Because this old man is a veteran Tianren Realm expert.

However, the old man shook his head: "Although I have not dealt with all the Tianren Realm experts in the Great Zhou, I have an impression of most of them except for a few exceptions, but these three Taoists... I can't match any of them!"

"According to the description of the servants in the palace, the appearance of these three Taoists should be Zhou people without a doubt!"

The Lord of Yongsui City saw this and quickly assured.

Everyone couldn't help but frown for a while.

What are the origins of these three Taoists?

"No need to guess!"

At this time, King Xing, who had the closest relationship with King Yan, was furious and gnashed his teeth and said:

"Since there are no such people in the world, these three Taoists must have come from the court, or in other words, they are 100% powerful people in the realm of heaven and man secretly cultivated by the royal family!"

"So, the result is now very clear!"

"It must be our good niece who sent people to commit the crime. The means are so cruel that it is really outrageous... How can such a person be the master of the Great Zhou?"

...

"What, King Yan is dead?"

"Three powerful people in the realm of heaven and man?"

"Did I send them?"

In the imperial palace, looking at the commander of the Jinyiwei Cao Shaobing reporting the news to His Highness, the female emperor Ji Luoyao was completely stunned.

The sudden death of King Yan was naturally good news for her.

But the problem is that she didn't send anyone to assassinate him at all.

"What is going on?"

Ji Luoyao immediately looked at Cao Shaobing and asked.

Cao Shaobing naturally did not dare to neglect it, and quickly stated all the news that Jinyiwei had found out.

After listening to his statement, Ji Luoyao could not help but fall into silence.

At this moment, she had the same question as the seven princes, where did these three Tianren realm masters come from?

But after thinking for a while, she had no answer.

The only thing that was certain was that these three people were definitely not from the court, let alone from the royal family.

"Now, what is the situation in the outside world?"

Ji Luoyao took a deep breath and looked at Cao Shaobing again and asked.

"The King of Yan bowed his head, and the outside world was greatly shocked. Many princes were frightened and submitted petitions to apologize. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. This is really great news!"

Cao Shaobing immediately complimented loudly.

But Ji Luoyao was unmoved.

She is not the time when she just took power. After this period of training, she has become much more shrewd. She knows very well that this matter is definitely not that simple.

He immediately asked in a deep voice: "Since there is good news, does that mean there is also bad news?"

"This..."

Cao Shaobing hesitated.

"Speak!"

Ji Luoyao uttered a word coldly.

Cao Shaobing's face trembled, how dare he hide it anymore, and hurriedly said:

"The King of Yan was assassinated, and it was three people in the Heaven Realm who did it together. The outside world is saying that Your Majesty... acted too cruelly, the means were too cruel... not worthy of being a leader... Although some princes were frightened and begged for mercy, it angered more princes and chose to join forces, and some other forces also secretly helped..."

Speaking of this, Cao Shaobing did not dare to say anything more.

Instead, he quietly looked up at the empress.

As expected, Ji Luoyao's face had completely darkened at this moment.

Although the Eight Princes Rebellion is now in full swing.

But in the final analysis, it is just a civil war in the Ji family.

Because the empress wanted to reduce the power of the vassal kings, and the vassal kings did not agree, the two sides would of course fight with real swords and guns.

At that time, whoever has the bigger fist will have the final say.

But now, the empress used the Tianren realm strongman to directly assassinate the King of Yan, and things have undoubtedly changed.

First of all, this is a violation of the rules!

If everyone uses the Tianren realm strongman to assassinate, who can live in peace in the future?

You have a Tianren realm strongman, don’t I have one?

Secondly, it is hard to convince the lord of the Great Zhou to assassinate.

Finally, who would not be afraid of treating his own uncle so cruelly and ruthlessly, killing him without even looking at him?

In this way, the other vassal kings will inevitably be in trouble.

Perhaps some vassal kings are frightened.

But more vassal kings will go all the way to the end.

After all, judging from the fate of the King of Yan, even if they choose to surrender, it is estimated that they will hardly survive in the future, so it is better to go all out and take a risk!

Therefore, the death of the King of Yan not only failed to cool down the turmoil of the princes, but made the turmoil more intense!

But she did nothing.

She was completely blamed.

How could Ji Luoyao feel good at the moment?

"Who is it? "

Ji Luoyao couldn't help but shout in her heart.
