Chapter 170: Bloody Night(2/3)
"Don't think of the Luo family as too weak."
"The heritage of the Luo family is beyond comparison with that of our Chu family..."
"And our Chu family...do we still have a choice?"
King Chu sighed, raised his head, and looked at the deep palace of Tian'an City, the place where Da Xia's endless energy gathered.
No one can say what the outcome of tonight's events will be.
Whatever happens depends on the person's attitude.
…
Imperial Capital, Tianan City.
As the most prosperous city in Daxia, it has a rich historical heritage. Time has left too many traces on this city, and there are too many miracles and stories brewing in this city that carries countless qi.
Zhenbei Palace.
It's late at night, but it's hard to be quiet.
In the past, Zhenbei Palace was crowded with visitors, but on this night, it was full of people.
One carriage after another came from the ancient main road of the Imperial Capital and stopped in front of the Zhenbei Palace.
There was a butler with a strong aura who was responsible for ushering these dignitaries who stepped off the carriage into the Zhenbei Palace.
The guards in front of Zhenbei Palace have also become stricter than ever before.
Terrifying energy surged into the sky in the dark night, and the air above the mansion seemed to be distorted.
There are more than a dozen second-grade experts visible to the naked eye alone.
Basically, every old man will be protected by a second-grade or even first-grade martial arts master.
If the officials were here, their expressions would change with horror when they saw these old people.
Because all those who got off the carriage were old people, all of whom were elderly.
Many people once held high positions in the imperial temples and were highly regarded as ministers, scolding Fang Qiu.
The status of many of these elderly people is even more impressive.
But now, most of these old people who have been relegated to the second line walked out of their mansions, which usually refused to see guests, with great solemnity and came to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
Around the palace, spies from many families and major forces were already frightened when they saw this scene.
They spread the news back to their respective families and forces one after another.
This night in the Imperial Capital, the lights were brightly lit.
No one can get a good night's sleep.
In addition to the endless messages in the Imperial Capital, there is also news from Jiangling Mansion, conveyed by various eagles, carrier pigeons, and night kites that have been blessed by Taoist talismans, and they are like an undercurrent in the Imperial Capital.
When people from various major forces saw the news sent back from the letter.
When he learned that the prince had used Jiangling Mansion's troops to surround and kill Luo Hong, his expressions changed drastically.
This news caused a violent earthquake in the entire government and opposition parties.
Crazy!
The prince is crazy!
The Luo family is not a small family with cats and dogs, nor is it a small family that allows you to bully without daring to resist.
It was a family that controlled 300,000 Saibei Black Cavalry, and also had connections with many elders!
Although the Luo family is usually very low-key, there is no doubt that this family... has great power.
Everyone knows about Jiangling Mansion’s sword appreciation competition.
At first, it was just a faint smile. Everyone knew what the reward was in the sword appreciation competition, and it was tacitly understood.
The prince designed and dug a pit to trap Luo Hong.
Although this is not a small matter, in the end it will hardly shake the government and the opposition.
However, when this sword appreciation meeting turned into an encirclement and suppression meeting, the nature and meaning completely changed.
It's like sending a signal.
The prince wants to send a signal that the Luo family will be extinct!
The prince and the Luo family did not deal with each other, and the death of the five sons of the Luo family actually had a lot to do with the prince.
Even Luo Hongchen, the unrivaled genius of the Luo family who will inherit the throne of Zhenbei King in the future, was framed and killed by the prince!
The conflict between the Luo family and the prince is basically irreconcilable.
However, this contradiction has not been made explicit all this time. Everyone knows it and only tacitly understands it.
But this time, the prince sent out 10,000 troops to surround and kill Luo Hong, a fifth-grade man.
It's like completely breaking one's face.
No one needs to think about how intense the Luo family's reaction will be.
The third generation of the Luo family was the only one left. Even the King of Zhenbei had plans to let Luo Honglai inherit the position of King of Zhenbei, regardless of hereditary succession.
As a result, the prince planned to kill the heir of King Zhenbei.
Can the Imperial Capital not be shaken?
Within Luofu.
King Zhenbei was sitting in the atrium, an oil lamp burning slowly, illuminating the entire dark atrium.
In the atrium, one after another Taishi chairs were placed, and on each chair there was an old man sitting upright. Some had white beards, some had hunched backs, and their faces were covered with crane spots. They looked like they were about to die. They were all a group of people.
The rotten old man.
However, many people outside the Imperial Capital know what kind of force these old people are when they come together.
It was an existence that could make the imperial capital tremble with just one step.
"Your Majesty...it's late at night. Why have you summoned us?"
"The last time the prince summoned us was fifteen years ago."
"It seems that the prince has made a decision."
Each of the old men had deep eyes, and they all sighed with emotion. Their eyes fell on the white-haired King Zhenbei, and they had mixed feelings for a while.
"This time, the prince indeed went too far."
"The Xia Emperor is in seclusion and the prince is in power, but the prince's series of actions against the Luo family are chilling."
"With such a prince in the world, how can Daxia be stable?"
One by one, the old men shook their heads, with disappointment that could not be concealed in their eyes.
He whispered for a while.
The palace gradually became quiet.
Because the King of Zhenbei stood up, the once burly King of Zhenbei, who roamed the battlefield and scolded Fang Qiu, was now much older, and his hair turned gray overnight.
There was deep fatigue in his eyes.
"I have invited you all to come here overnight. Actually, there are only two things to do."
King of Zhenbei, Tao.
One by one, the old people sitting on the Grand Master's chair looked at King Zhenbei. Some had complicated expressions, some had excitement in their eyes, and some had expectations.
"The first thing is to celebrate my king's birthday. I will not send out invitations. For this birthday, I will directly invite you all to come here. As for the venue..."
"I am getting old, and I hope that my grandson can accompany me on my birthday this time. Therefore, the birthday party will be held in Anping County."
King Zhenbei spoke.
As soon as the words came out, the eyes of many old people shrank.
The birthday party is held in Anping County?
This decision is not ordinary.
There has never been a precedent for the King of Zhenbei to come out of the imperial capital to celebrate his birthday. Perhaps, it will happen this time.
Moreover, this is also a test for King Zhenbei to the people present. If the people present can really leave the Imperial Capital and go to Anping County...then King Zhenbei may be able to relax.
Many old people present expressed their understanding of this.
As for what he thinks, no one can tell, and no one will tell.
We are all mature people, and everyone knows what choice to make.
Moreover, this choice will represent their family's choice, and they do not dare to make a conclusion easily.
King Zhenbei glanced at the old people, smiled, and didn't care.
He had already guessed this situation.
To be continued...
