Chapter 423: Total Revenge

"I don't understand... why should I stop Brother Shenjian? If I let him kill Long Jiu's family, wouldn't that avenge my father?"

Bi Fei looked at the Long Jiu sons who were facing away from her, and her clasped hands trembled slightly. No one was paying attention to her now. The guards surrounded the stage tightly, but they also treated her as a protected object. They seemed to have forgotten that she was the ninth princess, a child of the Yuegui family, and had a blood feud with Long Jiu's family!

The guard had a gun on his waist...

If he pulled it out now, maybe he could end everything.

"No, it's not them that are going to be killed, but your life." A gentle voice sounded in her mind, "Do you know that man just now?"

"His name is Mekfa... He is a guard appointed by my father and elder brother... They are now in the royal city, and they must be here to defeat the Longjiu family!"

"So you have to stop them and not let them destroy the current good situation."

"What did you say?" Bi Fei was stunned, "Miss Clara, aren't you protecting the Laurel family? Why did you let Longjiu and his gang of thugs..."

"Of course I'm protecting you, child." The other party's tone was still calm, making people feel at ease involuntarily, " You have been patient for a long time. You must not let a momentary impulse destroy your long-term efforts. The hope of the Laurel family does not lie in these guards, but in you... But you are too weak now. Once you lose the shell of the Longjiu family, you will be easily hurt by others. "

"You mean... the royal guards will not stand on the side of the Laurel family?"

"Yes." The woman's voice has a hint of praise, "Didn't you participate in many court councils as the heir to the kingdom? In the face of interests and power, the past affection will only be ruthlessly abandoned; eternity only exists in stories, and reality is endless changes..."

Bi Fei was silent.

Such disputes... have indeed been seen many times in the court council. Those nobles who used to claim that they would always be loyal to the Laurel family are now also flattering the traitors, and they are also full of intrigues. It is not like what is said in the book, with noble character and honor above all else.

She always felt that people in the court were very kind and friendly to her, and the adults were the same. When they saw her, they would always try to make her happy.

However, after experiencing the death of her father, the killing of her siblings, and the betrayal of her vassal, Bi Fei had long understood that the world was not as simple as she thought.

Her tightly clenched hands gradually loosened.

"You must immediately order the city to be sealed off, and at the same time issue a strict ban to prevent this matter from causing greater chaos."

Bi Fei walked behind Qi Bo who was half kneeling and said.

"What, what?" The eldest son turned his head in a daze.

"The sealing of the city is not to stop an assassin with extraordinary strength, but to prevent the other party from leaving a backup, such as a team of ambushes hiding in the suburbs of the city." She continued, "The strict ban is to prevent the nobles from colluding with each other and spreading unfavorable rumors in the city. The death of the Duke can no longer be covered up, but they should not be allowed to distort or exaggerate the matter. Of course... these are just my personal opinions, and I don't know if they are correct-"

"No, you are right!" Qi Bo blinked and suddenly came back to his senses. Damn, my father just encountered misfortune, how could I panic for so long... and let a little girl remind me! He put away the key that Weiden handed to him, asked the doctor who was driven away to come back to deal with his father's body, and then looked at the two brothers, "Did you hear it? Zigwei, go to the guards and ask them to deal with the ban and public security issues in the royal city; Zisser, the internal forces will be handed over to you for the time being, keep an eye on those guys who are ready to make a move, can you do it!?"

The two nodded at the same time.

At this time, Bi Fei had already stepped aside.

Qi Bo looked at her with some surprise...After the bloody scene in the palace, he thought this guy would collapse, but he didn't expect that she not only persisted, but also grew up a lot without realizing it.

"Listen to me!" He looked at the people under the stage and said loudly. Although many guests had fled, some of them stayed... They were followers of the family, representing the big families and big companies in the West. They looked at each other in panic. The more it was at this time, the more they needed someone to stand up and stabilize people's hearts. "This is a vicious assassination outside the battlefield, a naked trampling on the noble contract! They can't defeat my father, so they can only come up with this shameless method and do this in a public event! I swear in the name of Long Jiu, no matter who the murderer is, and what kind of people are supporting him behind him, the Long Jiu family will definitely make them pay with blood!"

The panic was temporarily stabilized.

People began to clean up the scene and count the victims.

"What about you, brother?" Zigwei asked before leaving.

"I have to go back to the palace." Qi Bo felt the coldness of the key through his clothes-he had guessed where the key would lead to, "I'll leave this to you."

...

Strange...why is the taste of victory so bland?

Mekfa half-crouched on the top of the clock tower at the edge of the northern city, overlooking the city at dusk. Today is the third day after Duke Longjiu's death. Saintsia should be in chaos.

He knows these nobles too well.

Corrupt, greedy and stupid.

Faced with the suddenly vacant position of power, they should throw their brains out and fight each other to the death. Even if other nobles are still afraid of the remaining power of the Longjiu family, there are also nobles and levels within the Longjiu family. Why hasn't anyone stood up to respond to the return of the kingdom army?

Duke Longjiu is indeed dead.

After he cut it, he could feel that the breath in his body was fading quickly. That was the price paid when the wish was fulfilled... and the Longjiu family did not hide the news. That night, they issued a vow of mourning and revenge. However, the chaos he expected did not come, and the whole city still seemed to be firmly controlled by someone.

"Ahem..." Mekfa suddenly coughed violently twice, and a trace of blood spread in his throat.

This is the price of gaining power.

What a pity... It would be great if I could always maintain this peak level.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood foam. But he did not regret this choice. If he could do it again a hundred times, he would still sign the contract.

Suddenly, a light flashed twice in the suburbs.

That was the signal Moses gave him.

This meant that the sentinels in the northern suburbs had been cleared, and Longjiu's army had temporarily lost information from this side.

That's right, it would be best if the city could be in chaos because of the assassination. Even if it wasn't, Zhaixing City would have a backup plan. Just before they set out, the reorganized alliance army also set out, passing through the mountains along an unknown secret passage in the northwest, and rushed to the royal city of Saintsia from an angle that Longjiu's family would never have thought of. And the northern cities they passed on the way have all become the new gods' followers, and they will provide the army with the necessary food supplies and war materials.

On August 21, 730, the agreed day, this army will arrive in the suburbs of the royal city and launch a comprehensive revenge on the Longjiu family.

Mekfa didn't care who would eventually take over the royal power.

He just hoped to win the favor of the gods further.
