In addition, in order to rush back as quickly as possible, Black Tooth Fei and Ma Tian let the large army rush behind them, but they each used their magical powers to return to the royal court early.
The two of them did not stop and came all the way to the palace.
There was already a chamberlain waiting there, and he immediately led the two of them to the imperial study room.
The two of them were wondering, could it be that the Demon Emperor had come out early, otherwise who would dare to use the imperial study room.
The waiter led the two people in and then closed the door.
The slamming of the door was like hitting their hearts, and only then did they notice the situation in the room.
Standing at the top was Prince Jinwu, and next to him was his protector Wu Lao. The two of them were curious. The existence of Wu Lao was usually kept secret, so why did he appear in public now?
On the other two sides stood King Wuli of Yongchang, who was the guard at that time, Wufa, the minister, and Leixin, the minister.
The Weiwei is in charge of the imperial guards, the Shizhong is the head of the Demon Emperor's secretariat, and the Shangshu is responsible for carrying out government affairs. The current Shangshu Ling is the fourth prince, but the fourth prince is not very old, and he also eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays.
Government affairs are handled by Shangshu Lei Xin.
Wu is a unique surname of the Golden Crow royal family, so these three people basically represent the will of the military, government and even the royal family in the royal court.
In addition to these three heavyweight officials, the two also noticed that there were also Youwei General Niu Dao, Changsheng Wang Wusheng, Anyi Wang Wupei, Jiuyang King Jianwu and Wei General Wu Cheng.
These four people, together with the left guard general Ma Tian, are in charge of the most elite Golden Crow Guard in the royal court. Now that they are gathered together, it is obvious that something big has happened.
At this time, Weiwei Wuli said: "Since Da Sikong and General Ma have arrived, we can start."
Wufa, the servant, nodded and took out an imperial edict: "The Demon Emperor has an order, everyone accepts it!"
There is a mighty aura exuding from it, which is the unique coercion of the Demon King, and others cannot fake it.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!" Several people hurriedly saluted respectfully.
At this time, Wufa then read out the contents of the imperial edict. It turned out that the throne was to be passed on to Prince Jinwu and he was appointed as the new Demon Emperor.
The surprise of several people in the room was not trivial, especially General Ma Tian of the Left Guard. Although he had always been friendly with Prince Jinwu, he was ultimately a confidant of the Demon Emperor. It was only because Prince Jinwu was the crown prince that he became friendly with him under the instruction of the Demon Emperor.
have to.
But now that the Demon Emperor has not come out, the Golden Crow Crown Prince is eager to succeed. This may be a little inappropriate.
He had no choice but to tentatively say: "I wonder where His Majesty the Demon Emperor is?"
Wufa sighed deeply and squeezed out a few tears: "His Majesty the Demon Emperor... passed away." "What!" If they had just heard the news, although the few people were shocked, they also felt a bit natural.
But hearing this news, there is nothing better than hearing that meteorites falling from the sky will bring disaster to the world.
"How did the Demon Emperor die?" The generals in the room became excited. The Demon Emperor's status in the eyes of the Demon Clan is just like Zhao Hao in the human race. He has been the supreme existence for so many years and is absolutely
The strong man is their spiritual totem.
Not long ago, everyone was waiting to welcome the Demon Emperor, but now they are told that the Demon Emperor is dead?
How could the invincible Demon King die!
Who can kill him?
At this time, Weiwei Wuli replied: "The Demon Emperor died in that strange secret realm. As for the reason, we probably have no way of knowing."
Ma Tian frowned and said: "Didn't the Crown Prince say before that the Demon Emperor was dealing with some minor matters in the back and would be out soon? Why did he say that the Demon Emperor died inside now?"
If the Demon Emperor was not too powerful, the prince would never have been able to plot against him. The people in the room would even doubt whether the prince had done something.
Prince Jinwu wiped his eyes and said sadly: "I don't know either. It was obviously fine when we parted, but who knew that my father would pass away not long after, and I am also heartbroken now."
Black Tooth Fei nodded secretly. His nephew really had the air of an emperor. No matter whether he was sad or happy in his heart, his ability to express emotions was mature enough.
"Then how did the prince know that the Demon Emperor had passed away?" Youwei General Niu Dao asked curiously.
"Let me answer this question. There is a secret room inside the palace, which enshrines the divine cards of the direct bloodline of the royal family. When each direct member of the royal family is born, a drop of blood essence will be taken out to refine the divine cards. In this way, as long as any member of the royal family
If something happens to the direct lineage, the palace will know it immediately." Wu Lao, who was behind Prince Jinwu, said, "Unfortunately, not long ago, the magic tablet representing His Majesty the Demon Emperor was broken into pieces."
Although the Demon King is powerful, he also left behind such a magic card when he was born.
"Demon King!" Everyone in the room was shocked and frightened. They were in a position where they had never heard of this statement, but this time it was confirmed with their own ears.
Prince Jinwu said at this time: "The secret realm we entered is very special. There are all kinds of powerful and mysterious beings in it. My father may have encountered these accidents accidentally."
This was indeed his true thought. Although he knew that the Demon Emperor stayed to deal with Zu An and the others, he did not think that Zu An and the others could pose any threat to his father no matter how much he thought.
It was probably because they alerted some existence like Dayu or Gonggong.
"Is there any existence more powerful than the Demon Emperor?" Everyone in the room turned pale, and their eyes were filled with inexplicable horror.
Prince Jinwu hurriedly said: "It's not that there is a more powerful being than my father, but that the world is very weird, and the space tunnel will be closed when I come back. It's also possible that my father didn't have time to pass through the passage before it was closed, and then
Or maybe we encountered some accident in the space tunnel."
There are often turbulent flows of time and space in space tunnels. Even in the most mature secret realms, when passing through these space tunnels, no one dares to make the slightest mistake. Therefore, if the Demon Emperor really had an accident here, a few people would not
I can barely understand it.
At this time, Wu-Wei General Wu Cheng couldn't help but question: "Then why did the Demon Emperor let the prince come back first and insist on staying in such a dangerous place?"
The Golden Crow Crown Prince knew that his father could allow these five generals to take charge of the Golden Crow Guard, and they were obviously his confidants, so he could only patiently reassure everyone: "Originally, this was a confidential matter, but now I have no choice but to tell it.
Yes. The reason why my father stayed there was because he got clues about the elixir and went to look for it..."
Then he briefly talked about the things related to the elixir, omitting the existence of Zu An and others. Anyway, they were either killed by his father at this moment, or they had died in the mysterious changes in the secret realm.
"Elixir of death..." No one in the room doubted it anymore, because they all knew how tempting the elixir of death was to people who were approaching their longevity.
They all even speculated that the Demon King might have died near the elixir. After all, such a heaven-defying thing must be guarded by a powerful being.
At this time, the servant Wufa said: "Since the Demon Emperor has passed away, the prince will inherit the throne. This is also the decree left by the Demon Emperor."
At this time, several generals were still hesitant, but Black Teeth Fei had already taken the lead and knelt down to the Golden Crow Crown Prince: "My lord, join me, my emperor, long live long live, long live long live!"
He, the great Sikong, and his uncle all knelt down, and the guard Wuli and the servant Wufa also knelt down.
The remaining Shangshu Lei Xin and the five generals in charge of the Golden Crow Guard were still hesitant at first, but when they saw the scrutinizing eyes of the Grand Master Wu Lao on the side, they all knelt down and saluted.
Prince Jinwu was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "My dear friends, please get back to your feet quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After several people got up one by one, the servant Wufa said: "The second prince has always had a disobedient heart. When the old demon emperor was still alive, he dared to assassinate the prince. If he knew that the old demon emperor had died, the prince would have died."
Once he ascends the throne, he will definitely rebel. Instead of letting him prepare to rebel and cause chaos to the demon clan, it is better to nip it in the bud as soon as possible."
The rest of the people were shocked: This is the second prince who is going to be attacked!
