Chapter 248 Assassination Avalanche
The sky is getting dark, and the candlelight in the palace is flickering. Not long after Prince Xuexing left in a hurry, a soldier in armor walked quickly and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, Marshal Ge Long is on his way."
Xue Beng nodded slightly, His eyes were still looking into the distance.
Now we just need to wait for Marshal Ge Long to arrive and communicate with each other before cutting it off. After all, if the Wuhun Empire takes this opportunity to attack the Tiandou Empire, his position as an emperor is indeed difficult to protect.
You must know that the Wuhun Empire is currently ready to move. If it is known that Marshal Ge Long in the border area has left the border, then he will definitely attack their area in a large scale?
Not long after, Marshal Ge Long strode into the palace. He was tall and tall, exuding a majestic air that had been battle-hardened.
As a top powerhouse in the Contra realm, Marshal Ge Long can be regarded as an outstanding powerhouse in the entire Tiandou Empire. Even some titled Douluo would not dare to bully him. Head-to-head.
After all, Marshal Ge Long’s Yaizhen Martial Spirit is extremely powerful. If he can break through to the realm of Titled Douluo, he will definitely be a hero of the Tiandou Empire
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince."< br>
Marshal Ge Long clasped his fists and saluted.
Xue Beng turned around with a gentle smile on his face: "Marshal, there is no need to be polite. The situation is complicated now, and I still need more support from the marshal."
Marshal Ge Long raised his head with a firm gaze: "Don't worry, Your Highness. The general will try his best."
At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing the curtains of the palace.
Xue Beng's eyes became cold again. He approached Marshal Ge Long and whispered: "Marshal, the Wang Quan family needs more attention. Although Wang Quan Wumu is young and promising, his mind is unpredictable. . If he can be used by me, it will be a great help; if not..."
Xue Beng did not continue, but Marshal Ge Long already understood what he meant.
Marshal Ge Long frowned slightly: "Your Highness, the Wang Quan family has considerable prestige in the empire, so we should not act rashly. Moreover, Wang Quan Wumu's strength is extraordinary, and we need to consider it in the long term."
The Wang Quan family is extremely powerful in the entire Douluo Continent. Strong, and the Immortal Emperor had already said that no emperor was allowed to touch the royal family.
After all, if they offend the Royal Family, they are likely to be completely destroyed in this world like the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family last time
Xue Beng sneered: "Prestige ? In this struggle for power, prestige may not protect them. Marshal just needs to do what I tell him."
Marshal Ge Long had doubts in his heart, but he could only nod in agreement. .
After Marshal Ge Long accepted the order, although he felt uneasy in his heart, his face remained calm. He knew very well that in the whirlpool of palace power, a little carelessness would lead to disaster.
At this time, night has completely enveloped the palace. The stars twinkle, but they cannot penetrate the haze of this conspiracy.
Marshal Ge Long was thinking about the strategy to deal with the Wang Quan family. He understood the influence of Wang Quan Wumu and the intricate forces behind the Wang Quan family.
If they really become enemies of the Royal Family, the Tiandou Empire may fall into civil strife, but Prince Xue Beng’s orders must be obeyed.
Xue Beng looked at the night outside the window again, planning constantly in his mind. He knew that if he wanted to secure the throne, he must firmly control all forces.
The threat from the Wuhun Empire looms large on his back, and these aristocratic families in the country are also a major concern for him. He must find a way out of this complicated situation, a path that will allow him to become an eternal emperor.
Marshal Ge Long raised his head slightly, looked at Xue Beng and said: "Your Highness, I thought that we could first send someone to secretly monitor every move of the royal family, and understand their movements before making any plans. If you act rashly, you will only alert the enemy."
Xue Beng nodded thoughtfully: "What the marshal said is absolutely true. However, the person monitoring must be absolutely loyal and reliable."
At this moment, a palace maid slowly brought some tea. Come slowly. She lowered her head and walked lightly. When she came closer, the maid bowed slightly and saluted.
Xue Beng glanced at the palace maid inadvertently, but found that there seemed to be something strange hidden in the palace maid's eyes.
Marshal Ge Long also noticed something was wrong. He calmly put his hand on the sword at his waist. The palace maid slowly stood up, suddenly pulled out a dagger from the tea tray, and stabbed Xue Beng.
Marshal Ge Long reacted quickly and drew his sword to block Xue Beng. With a "clang" sound, the dagger was blocked by the sword.
The palace lady failed to hit the target, turned around and stabbed Marshal Ge Long again. Marshal Ge Long ducked sideways and kicked the palace maid. The palace maid was kicked to the ground, but she got up again in an instant, her eyes full of determination.
“Who sent you as an assassin?” Xue Beng shouted angrily.
The palace maid sneered: "Today is the day you die."
After that, she rushed towards the avalanche again. Marshal Ge Long started fighting with the palace maid. Although he was very powerful, he had to protect Xue Beng in this small palace, so he couldn't do anything for a while.
After a hard fight, Marshal Ge Long finally subdued the palace maid. He pulled off the palace maid's scarf and found an unfamiliar face.
"Your Highness, there must be a mastermind behind this assassin."
Marshal Ge Long frowned and said.
Xue Beng looked gloomy: "Check! We must find out who wants to kill me."
After some interrogation, the palace maid finally confessed that the Star Luo Empire sent her to assassinate her. It turns out that the Xingluo Empire has always coveted the throne and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of Xue Beng.
After Xue Beng learned about it, his anger became even stronger. He decided not to sit still and take the initiative.
"Marshal, you immediately lead troops to the palace stationed here by the Star Luo Empire and capture everyone inside."
Xue Beng ordered.
Marshal Ge Long took the order and left. Calm returned to the palace again, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
…………
Tian Dou Empire, Tian Dou City.
Marshal Ge Long led a group of elite soldiers aggressively and quickly rushed towards the Star Luo Empire's station in Tiandou.
Along the way, the clatter of horse hooves broke the silence of the night.
When they arrived outside the station, they saw the palace was brightly lit and there was a faint atmosphere of tension.
Marshal Gelong waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly surrounded the palace. With his weapon in hand, he strode toward the palace's main entrance.
When the Star Luo Empire envoys in the palace heard the news, they became alert.
The leader of the envoy stood on the steps in front of the palace and shouted loudly: "Marshal Ge Long, what do you mean?"
Marshal Ge Long's eyes were cold and he responded loudly: "There are assassins. Tell me that your Xingluo Empire tried to assassinate my Emperor Tiandou, and I am here to arrest him today.”
The messenger's face changed and he said angrily: "This is slander. Tiandou should not provoke unreasonable disputes."
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Marshal Ge Long said no more and signaled the soldiers to prepare for a storm.
