Chapter 2310 The Emperor Shenwu Appears!

Li Yao nodded nonchalantly: "Oh, it's her!"

Dongfang Wang's eyes bulged out again, his eyeballs were covered with dense bloodshot eyes, and he said in despair: "Why are you not shocked at all, you already knew? You are Li Linghai's accomplice!"

"No, no, Dongfang Prime Minister must not misunderstand. I absolutely do not know about this matter, and I am not an accomplice of Her Highness the Queen. However, based on my past experience, I have seen similar things a lot, and I have long been familiar with them."

Li Yao hastily explained, "Please think about it carefully, you are full of evils, and you are full of crimes, and you have finally suffered retribution, and you are about to die a miserable death, there is no need for me to lie to you, right?

"Speaking of which, you are so sure that Her Highness the Empress is behind the scenes, what evidence do you have?"

Dongfang Wang stared at Li Yao, and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't find a reason why Li Yao would go to such lengths to deceive him, and said bitterly: "There is no direct evidence, but isn't the whole thing obvious? If It wasn't the outbreak of the "Blood Alliance Incident", which had completely intensified the conflicts between the four major elector families and the young military officers on the front lines and the peripheral warlords of the empire. How could these young military officers and peripheral warlords all fall to the reformers so quickly?

"Also, if General Lei Chenghu hadn't been put under house arrest and told to cut his military power, how could he have made up his mind to betray the Senate and join hands with Li Linghai?

"From the blood alliance incident to Lei Chenghu's house arrest, they gave the reformers a large number of allies for no reason. They helped the reformers unite all the forces opposing the four major families in the empire. In the end, who got the most benefits? It was Li Linghai!

"Then, she wasn't the one who planned the whole thing from beginning to end, who else could it be?"

Li Yao propped his chin, pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, "Such a serious accusation, based on this kind of speculation, is really not very convincing!"

"Then you accuse me of planning the 'Blood Union Incident', how much evidence and convincing do you have?"

Dongfang Wang's eyes were burning red, and he roared hysterically, "Whether it's the young officers on the front line or the warlords on the outskirts of the empire, what they want is nothing more than some benefits, and they will not shake the foundation of the four major families, and they will not easily shake me. The position of the 'iron-blooded prime minister' can be discussed slowly. Anyway, asking for a lot of money, paying back the money when the ground is on the ground, and after soft and hard work, a profit distribution plan that is barely satisfactory to all parties can always be negotiated.

"Now that the war is not completely over, and the division of interests in the post-war reconstruction is still out of the question, why should I be so anxious to use such radical measures to intensify all conflicts?

"Take a step back, if I was really crazy enough to use force to completely eliminate you, I must have arranged everything long ago. Once the blood alliance event is launched, it will definitely be a steady stream of thunder strangling, killing the reformers, young officers and the empire. The peripheral warlords have been wiped out in one sweep, and you will never be left with the slightest chance!

"But what about now? Now, I am at a loss, clumsy, passively beaten, exhausted, how can I plan carefully? Do you believe that the huge layout of the prime minister of the empire is so full of loopholes and has no back-ups?

"You want evidence. The biggest evidence is my miserable appearance now. This appearance is not enough to prove that I was really ignorant of the whole thing, unprepared, and caught off guard?"

Dongfangwang's voice really interpreted the word "grievance" to the fullest, reaching people's hearts.

Even Li Yao could not help but believe his words.

He continued to growl angrily: "After the incident of the Blood Alliance, the reformists seemed to be caught off guard. Many people were arrested one after another, and the organization suffered serious losses. The Thunder Fleet still has a large number of young officers, peripheral warlords, and even ambitious and unstable factors among the four major families, and its strength has more than expanded tenfold!

"Afterwards, you launched an overwhelming, interlocking, and endless counterattack, pushing all my forces to the ground in one go. Let me ask, is such a sharp and violent counterattack really possible in a hurry?

"Vulture Li Yao, I don't know if you are Li Linghai's accomplice or not, and if you know the whole story.

"If you are her accomplice, then I admire your forbearance, planning and acting skills. This is really a nearly perfect layout, leaving no chance for me to fight back. No matter what I do, I will definitely die!

"If you don't know the truth, it's really sad, you were also used by Li Linghai and became her pawn, loyal dog and dagger!

"Believe me, Li Linghai, Empress of the Empire, knew that a veteran of the Empire would be assassinated before the incident of the Blood Alliance, and calculated all the subsequent chain reactions, and had already planned every step of the response strategy. It is not a counterattack, but a premeditated attack!

"Haha, amazing, Li Linghai, I really underestimated you time and time again. I didn't expect you to be so terrifying. Everyone, from the four major elector families to the reformists, from the frontline soldiers to the warlords in the rear, from me From the prime minister of the empire to the iron-blooded warriors like Lei Chenghu, they are all played by you in applause!"

Dongfang Wang smiled terribly, with his drooping skin and ferocious smile, he was really like a ghost.

"Wait, I have a most critical question."

Li Yao frowned deeply, and asked after a long time of deliberation, "Prime Minister Dongfang said that Her Highness the Empress got the most out of the whole thing, so she planned a series of conspiracies, but I don't understand, what she got" What exactly are benefits'?

"In terms of military power, she didn't touch a single soldier. The Deep Sea Fleet is commanded by General Dongfang Sheng, and the Thunder Fleet is commanded by General Lei Chenghu. Not to mention the elite of the four major elector families, it is not her turn to manage it." .

"In terms of prestige, although she is the leader of the reformation faction, she only plays a role of calling and linking up. Except for showing her face a little in the "Weeping Tomb Incident" in the imperial capital, she is among the miscellaneous generals and disabled veterans. In addition to gaining some good impressions, she usually lives in seclusion, is quite low-key, and does not say anything when she is too majestic. She usually does not show up on the battlefield as many times as I do. Now many people know that Vulture Li Yao and the Golden Eagle, but not everyone knows the role Her Highness the Queen played in the great cause of 'renovating the empire'!

"In terms of the situation, with the downfall of the Prime Minister of the East, the Dongfang family is bound to be greatly weakened, but the combination of the three major families and the reformers is also very confident that everything can be resolved in a calm and uneventful manner, and the Emperor Shenwu is about to be welcomed back. Your Majesty, the Senate has been rebuilt, and the status and appeal of Her Royal Highness will only be further reduced.

"From the point of view of 'the interests of the empire are above everything else', the so-called 'conspiracy' doesn't seem to do much harm, and it doesn't bring any benefits to Her Highness herself! For ten years, I have carefully planned a series of conspiracies, but without the slightest selfishness, just for the revival and rise of the empire, then I... have nothing to say."

"No selfishness at all? Hehehehe! We are about to welcome His Majesty Emperor Shenwu back? Hahahaha!"

Dongfang Wang was about to die from laughing, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he screamed, "Then come, welcome back Your Majesty!"

From the beginning to the end, he was holding a human-shaped package the size of a cat and dog in his arms. The package skin was made of some unknown material, and its insulating ability was extremely strong. Li Yao used his divine sense to spy on it many times, but he couldn't penetrate it. go in.

At this moment, Dongfang Wang shook the package, and the whole thing fell apart, and a black charcoal-like thing flew out from it, mixed with a strong smell, and fell in front of Li Yao with a "slap", and fell to pieces. .

Li Yao was slightly taken aback, and before the fragments splashed on his body, he opened his psychic shield and carefully observed the coke-like object.

At first glance, it looks like a charred monkey.

But the hands, feet and face are impressively human-like, only scaled down several times.

Although Hei Qu Qu looks like coke, it is not curled up like this by the fire, but it seems that all the water in the body has evaporated, and it is alive with a secret method... sucking all the blood and soul, it withered into this appearance.

"this"

Li Yao stared at the fist-sized black charcoal head for a long time, trying to find some clues from the grinning, painful expression, but still found nothing, "What the hell is this?"

He couldn't figure out why Dongfang Wang would hold such a terrifying scorched corpse in his arms when he was about to die.

"Haven't noticed? Didn't I just say that?"

Dongfangwang's smile was both bitter and ferocious, "This is the master of the stars and the ocean, the king of the True Human Empire, and the husband of Li Linghai, His Majesty the Emperor Shenwu whom you have been planning to welcome back!"

Li Yao's eyes froze immediately, and he froze for half a minute before he relaxed a little: "Wow...you...you are so courageous, bold and unruly, unexpectedly, you are so crazy that you made your majesty like this?"

Dongfang Wang smiled wryly and said, "If I say, I didn't do it, would you believe me?"

"I believe."

Li Yao thought for a while, then nodded and said, "The narrow emperor wants to command the princes, what you want is a living emperor, not a dead emperor, but then again, when you just kidnapped your majesty, he would never look like this...very You look unhappy? So, His Majesty died by your side, and you have nothing to do with it, how did you die?"

"Poisoned."

A strong confusion appeared in Dongfang Wang's eyes, and he said, "A very strange and extremely violent poison. I send the best doctor to examine His Majesty's body every day to ensure his safety, but it has never been detected! And I suspect that this poison has been injected into His Majesty's body a long time ago, activated through timing, remote control and other indirect methods, in order to let His Majesty die in my hands!"
