Chapter 561 The Demon King Wants To Steal The Princess? (3/3)
The next morning, Jiang Li took the initiative to come to the palace before Alice sent someone to call him.
"Hey, do you need to be so rigid? After all, I have been entering the palace for several days in a row, and I can't even let you go?"
But at the gate of the palace, Jiang Li was blocked by the guard.
"I'm very sorry. We also know that you have a very good relationship with Her Royal Highness, but today's situation is special and the palace is under tight security. We cannot let you go without Her Royal Highness's token."
The guard looked at him with a troubled expression.
"Special situation? What kind of special law?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly. He really couldn't ignore this special situation, otherwise the cute little princess would turn into a greasy uncle in princess skin at some point!
"Someone broke into the palace last night!"
The two doormen looked at each other and thought it would be okay to tell him, so they explained it to him quietly.
"Trespassing to the palace? Who is it?"
"have no idea."
"What was the result? Were you caught?"
"If I were caught, I wouldn't be so nervous."
"It seems that there is no gain at all. This is the atmosphere among the people in the palace."
The guards shook their heads, they were just ordinary guards, how could they know so much.
No wonder he dared to let Jiang Li in casually.
The criminal who broke into the palace without permission has not been found. The entire palace must be under martial law.
"You can help me find Alice, or Rein, and just say I'm here to visit."
Jiang Li took out two banknotes and handed them to the two of them.
"Hold on."
The two accepted it calmly, and then walked into the palace one by one.
After a while, one of Alice's guards, the magician Rein, arrived at the city gate.
"Mr. Nanxiang, you'd better go back."
Lei Yin's face was speechless.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Jiang Li scratched his cheek and said with an unhappy expression: "I said I wanted to find Alice because there was something very important that would endanger her personal safety!"
"Now Her Royal Highness the Princess is in personal crisis."
Lei Yin sighed, looking unhappy.
"His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Prince have both returned from the front line. Now the entire palace is under martial law and no one is allowed to see the Princess."
"What happened?"
Jiang Li asked in a calm voice, the noise was really quite big, it didn't seem like an ordinary fight.
"It's not because of last night."
Lei Yin's face was gloomy, looking like a bitter gourd.
"Last night someone broke into the palace without permission and threatened to steal the princess. He alerted all the guards in the palace, but in the end they failed to catch him. Now the security of the palace is several times tighter than before!"
Good guy!
Rob the princess?
What is the background of the thief that makes him so bold?
"Who broke into the palace?"
Jiang Li continued to ask, could this matter be related to the body-changing necklace?
Lei Yin looked around, pulled him to a place where no one was around, and whispered quietly.
"It's the Demon King."
"Ahem!"
Jiang Li almost choked on his own saliva.
"Who are you talking about?"
He asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
"O Demon King!"
Lei Yin shrugged her shoulders with an expression of disbelief.
"Last night, the intruder showed up in the palace without anyone noticing, claiming that he was the devil and came to steal the princess. Then he disappeared all of a sudden and couldn't be found no matter how hard he looked for him."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Jiang Li shook his head repeatedly.
joke!
Didn’t I know whether I entered the palace last night and whether I wanted to steal the princess?
I went to the Grand Duke of Senfornia’s residence last night, but I didn’t even enter the palace!
Who the hell ruined my reputation?
"What does the man who calls himself the Demon King look like?"
Jiang Li continued to ask, and I stopped believing in evil. Is there really someone pretending to be me?
"Fully armored and wearing a mask, that's what the guard said."
Lei Yin told the description of the guards.
Good guy, this is an intruder who has done his homework!
This description is exactly the same as Jiang Li's Demon King posture. Someone must have deliberately disguised himself as him and then appeared in the palace to cause trouble!
But who is it?
"After His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Prince heard about it, they teleported back from the front line overnight. Most of the kingdom's power was gathered in the palace. Now the entire palace is under martial law. No one is allowed to see the Princess. Only Claire and I were detained.
Allowed to take care of His Highness’s meals and bed.”
Lei Yin relayed the situation in the palace.
His Majesty the King is a daughter-in-law, and His Royal Highness the Prince is a sister-in-law.
Jiang Li already knew this while chatting with Alice.
The most unprovoked person in the entire ancient kingdom of Belze is Alice. Once she is wronged, the king and prince will be like a dragon whose scales have been touched. They will plow the entire country to find the perpetrator.
Once they knew that their good daughter and sister were being targeted by the devil, they didn't even care about the front line and ran back to the palace overnight.
What's more important than protecting your daughter and sister?
No!
"So I definitely won't see Alice today?"
"Yes."
"That's okay."
Jiang Li thought about it but gave up the idea of entering the palace.
Taking a step back and thinking, since only a few people such as Claire and Lei Yin can see Alice now, then the noble who paid tribute to the necklace must not be able to see Alice now. At least there is no need to worry about what is inside her.
It's time to become a greasy uncle.
"If that's the case, then I'll leave first."
Jiang Li planned to leave, and he would find a way to solve the problem of the pretender later.
Hey, as soon as a person becomes famous, all kinds of troubles will come to him!
You must let that bastard know what price you have to pay for pretending to be the devil!
"Please wait a moment."
When he was about to leave, Lei Yin stopped him again.
"To deal with the Demon King, the power of the black-haired adventurers is indispensable, so the king will send people to the guild hall at the latest this afternoon to invite you to enter the palace as guards... When I came out, Your Highness Alice asked me to convey to you
This sentence."
"I see."
When Jiang Li heard this, he suddenly realized.
Huh, what a smart little princess.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Li returned to the guild hall.
Not long after lunch, as expected, a messenger from the palace came over and invited the four black-haired adventurers who were still in the guild hall to come into the palace to serve as the princess's escorts. The reward was quite astonishing.
"Go! You must go!"
"How can we allow the princess to be snatched away by the devil? We, the reincarnated ones, have no face at all?"
"My sword has been thirsty for the blood of the Demon King for a long time!"
Everyone hit it off immediately and Jiang Li had no objection.
"I won't go."
The witch closed her hood.
"Then you wait for me in the clubhouse."
Jiang Li nodded in agreement.
It would be inconvenient to bring her into the palace. With her identity as a demon, once she is discovered in the palace, she will definitely not be able to escape as a spy, and may even implicate Jiang Li.
The four of them boarded the carriage and drove towards the palace.
