"Father, I...I am willing to fight for you!" The eldest prince stood up with difficulty. Although he was seriously injured, there was still an unyielding light in his eyes.
Seeing this, the king was filled with emotion. He looked at Lin Feng and others with gratitude in his eyes: "Thanks to you, the kingdom has survived!"
"Your Majesty, you want Punish the traitors of the second prince and the Demon Sect severely!" Lin Feng said firmly, thinking in his heart: "This conspiracy must not end here!"
The king nodded, with majesty in his eyes: "Second prince, yours. The crime cannot be forgiven, and he will be put into prison immediately for further interrogation!"
"Father, no!" The second prince yelled in despair, but it was to no avail.
"You are all my heroes!" The king looked at Lin Feng and others gratefully, with a light of relief in his eyes, "I have decided to make Lin Feng the general to protect the country!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Feng said in his heart Shocked, he quickly declined: "I just want to protect this country, and I don't need a reward."
"Your courage and loyalty are my most cherished wealth!" The king said with a smile, feeling extremely pleased in his heart.
“We only hope to do our part for the country!” Xiaoyue and others said in unison, their hearts filled with pride and determination.
At this moment, the second prince's roar sounded again: "I will not give in just now, you will pay the price for today's decision!"
"You have no way out!" The king responded coldly, with incomparable majesty in his eyes, "You will pay the price for your betrayal!"
In the end, after rigorous interrogation and investigation, the second prince's death was revealed. The conspiracy was completely exposed and peace returned to the kingdom. Lin Feng and others were remembered by the king for their bravery and became the guardians of the country.
"Although this battle is difficult, we must always be vigilant and never let the evil invade again!" Lin Feng said firmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding companions, and his heart was full of faith.
"We will always protect this country!" Xiaoyue responded, with perseverance shining in her eyes. However, just as they were about to leave the palace and return to their lives, something unexpected happened.
The little princess Xiaoyue suddenly stepped forward, with a look of reluctance on her face, and said softly: "Lin Feng, I want to go with you."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Little princess, you are a member of the royal family and cannot leave the palace."
"But, I don't want to stay here, I want to see a wider world, and I want to be with you Let's go on an adventure together." Xiaoyue's eyes sparkled with expectation and desire, as if she was telling her dream.
Hearing this, the king frowned and hesitated in his heart. After some thought, he finally sighed and showed helplessness: "Since Xiaoyue insists on going, I can't stop it. As long as you can take good care of her, I agree."
"Thank you. Father!" Xiaoyue cheered excitedly, with light shining in her eyes.
Before leaving, the king specially held a grand farewell banquet for Lin Feng and others. The banquet hall was brightly lit, with all kinds of delicious food and wine, and the atmosphere was warm. However, Lin Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if this banquet was not as simple as it appeared.
"Lin Feng, what's wrong with you?" Ning Shishi noticed his expression and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, I always feel like something is wrong." Lin Feng frowned, his eyes wandering around the banquet hall, trying to find any signs of abnormality.
At this moment, the king stood up and raised his glass to greet everyone: "Today we are gathered together to thank you for everything you have done for the country. I hope you will be safe and smooth in your future journey!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere reached a climax. However, Lin Feng's mood became increasingly heavy. He vaguely noticed a strange aroma permeating the air in the banquet hall, which seemed different from usual.
"What kind of fragrance is this?" Xiaoyue frowned slightly and asked softly.
"I don't know either, but I think..." Before Lin Feng finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy and the scene in front of him began to blur.
"Lin Feng!" Xiaoyue exclaimed and quickly reached out to him, but her body began to shake and her consciousness gradually blurred.
“Quick, hurry up and call!” Ning Shishi panicked and tried to hold Xiaoyue up, but she also felt weak.
In the banquet hall, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong, chaotic sounds sounded, and the guards began to run around, trying to find an antidote.
“This is a conspiracy!” Lin Feng was shocked and finally understood the truth of the matter. He tried his best to force himself to stay awake, and whispered to Xiaoyue and Ning Shishi: "Don't... don't fall asleep!"
However, as the effects of the drug worsened, Lin Feng's vision became increasingly blurry, and the sounds in his ears became distant and vague. Just when he was about to lose consciousness, a thought flashed through his mind - this must be stopped and the truth must be found.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a dark room, surrounded by silence and only the faint candlelight swaying. He struggled to hold himself up and looked around, finding Ning Shishi and Xiaoyue also nearby, looking in a trance.
"Are you okay?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice, secretly glad that they were all still alive.
"We...we were poisoned." Xiaoyue's voice was weak, obviously she had not fully recovered.
“I think we are imprisoned.” Ning Shishi gritted her teeth and said with firm eyes, “We can’t just give up, we must find a way to escape!”
Lin Feng nodded. They must find a way to escape from this place and at the same time uncover the truth of this conspiracy.
After some hard work, Lin Feng and Ning Shishi finally found the exit of the room. Opening the door carefully, there was a dark corridor outside. It was quiet and no one seemed to be guarding it.
“We have to hurry up!” Lin Feng whispered, and the three of them cautiously moved along the corridor, trying to find a way to escape.
At the end of the corridor is a door, which reveals a faint light. Lin Feng quietly opened the door and found a courtyard outside, with several guards patrolling the courtyard.
“Get out of here.” Lin Feng whispered, secretly thinking about how to avoid these guards.
"I'll distract them." Ning Shishi said suddenly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Are you crazy? It's too dangerous!" Lin Feng objected immediately.
"This is the only way. I will try my best to hold them back. You go quickly!" Ning Shishi said firmly and ran towards the depths of the courtyard without hesitation. "Ning Shishi!" Xiaoyue exclaimed and wanted to catch up, but was held back by Lin Feng.
“She is for us, we must believe her!” Lin Feng’s eyes were firm, and he secretly prayed in his heart that Ning Shishi could successfully hold off the guard.
Sure enough, Ning Shishi's actions successfully attracted the attention of the guards. She shuttled flexibly in the courtyard, sometimes making noises, sometimes deliberately causing chaos, and the guards chased after her.
“Let’s go!” Lin Feng grabbed Xiaoyue’s hand and ran towards the door. After some intense running, they finally broke out of the palace and set foot on the land of freedom.
"Find a safe place and find a way to contact the outside world." Lin Feng gasped, secretly glad that they finally escaped from danger.
“But where should we go now?” Xiaoyue’s face was full of confusion, and her eyes showed uneasiness.
"We can go find our old friends, maybe they can help us." Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided to go to a secret stronghold where they were former allies.
However, just as they were about to set off, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind them. Lin Feng turned around and saw a group of guards chasing them, their faces full of anger and murderous intent.
“Quick, hurry up!” Lin Feng yelled, pulling Xiao Yue forward.
During the process of escaping, Lin Feng kept thinking about the relationship between the second prince and the king, and vaguely felt that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.
After some twists and turns, Lin Feng and others finally found the secret stronghold. It was an abandoned cave with a dangerous surrounding environment, suitable for hiding.
"Let's rest here for the time being." Lin Feng said, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Both Xiaoyue and Ning Shishi looked exhausted. The three of them sat together and began to discuss the next plan.
In the cave, Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Xiaoyue sat around the fire, and the weak firelight reflected their tired faces. Ning Shishi raised her head and said with firm eyes: "We must find a way to expose the conspiracy of the king and the second prince as soon as possible. They must not get away with it like this."
Xiaoyue nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. : "But, what should we do? We don't even have a reliable ally now."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and suddenly thought of the eldest prince. Although his status in the palace is not as good as that of the second prince, his loyalty to the country and concern for the people make him a trustworthy partner. "We can go to the eldest prince, he will definitely support us." Lin Feng said, with hope shining in his eyes.
“But his current situation is also very dangerous, no one will believe him.” Ning Shishi said worriedly.
"We can use the evidence we have to expose the conspiracy of the king and the second prince." Lin Feng responded firmly, "We must let the eldest prince understand that only by uniting can we overthrow this decadent rule."
After some discussion, they decided to leave immediately for the eldest prince's secret hiding place. Along the way, Lin Feng kept thinking about the various signs they saw in the palace, becoming more and more convinced of the collusion between the king and the second prince, and secretly vowed to expose this conspiracy completely.
After several hours of arduous trek, they finally arrived at the hiding place of the eldest prince. It is a hidden valley surrounded by towering peaks, making it difficult for outsiders to approach. Lin Feng carefully knocked on the heavy wooden door. The door slowly opened, revealing the figure of the eldest prince.
"You are here!" The eldest prince's face showed a trace of surprise and joy, "I have been worried about your safety."
Lin Feng quickly told the eldest prince what happened. Special mention was made of the conspiracy between the king and the second prince. "We need your support. Only you can unite those who are dissatisfied with the king and expose their true colors."
A trace of hesitation flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination: "I have always wanted to do something for this country, but my voice has been suppressed. Now that you are here, I see hope."< br>
“We can unite those nobles and soldiers who are dissatisfied with the king to launch a resistance.” Lin Feng said, fighting spirit ignited in his heart.
After some discussion, they decided to secretly summon those forces who were willing to resist the king's rule as night fell. As the night deepened, a group of soldiers and nobles dressed in black gradually gathered in the valley, their faces filled with anger and expectation.
"We have to fight for the future of this country!" The eldest prince stood on a high place, his voice was like thunder, echoing in the valley. "We want to expose the conspiracy of the king and the second prince, and make them pay for what they have done!"
There was an enthusiastic response from the crowd, and the flame of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.
"We must act quickly and not give the king and the second prince a chance to fight back." Lin Feng reminded, "We must act tonight!"
With the combined efforts of everyone, Lin Feng and the eldest prince led the resistance The army marched towards the palace. Under the moonlight, the team was like a giant black dragon, winding its way towards the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, it was late at night, and the guards were relatively low on vigilance. Lin Feng and the eldest prince led the team to sneak in quietly and quickly took control of the guards in the palace.
"Quick, go find the king and the second prince!" Lin Feng ordered in a low voice, secretly planning the next plan in his heart.
However, as they went deeper into the palace, Lin Feng felt a little uneasy. There is a tense atmosphere in the air, and it seems that a larger conspiracy is brewing.
Finally, they arrived at the king's palace. The guards at the door were quickly dealt with. Lin Feng opened the door and saw the king and the second prince sitting at the table, with gloomy expressions on their faces, as if they were planning something.
"You are finally here." The king stood up slowly, with a sneer on his lips, "I knew you would come, but did you think you could stop me?"
" We won't let you succeed!" The eldest prince responded angrily, holding a sword in his hand and a determined light shining in his eyes.
"Huh, how naive." The second prince smiled coldly, with a hint of sinister flash in his eyes, "Do you think you can shake my throne with just a few people?"
Lin Feng was heartbroken. Shock, as expected, the second prince was already prepared. They arrived just to fall into his trap.
"Do you think I will just sit back and wait to die?" the king said coldly, "I have already arranged a backup plan, and today will be the end of you!"
At this moment, fierce fighting sounds came from outside the palace, and resistance There was a fierce battle between the army and the king's loyal ministers. Lin Feng knew that time was running out and he had to end this before the battle escalated.
“Do it!” Lin Feng roared loudly, rushing towards the king and the second prince, his sword flashing as he rushed towards them. The eldest prince followed closely behind, his sword blade intertwined with blood.
The battle broke out in an instant. The king and the second prince obviously did not expect that they would fight back so quickly. When they were panicking, Lin Feng was already approaching. The two princes swung their swords at each other. Their swords gleamed and sparks flew everywhere. (End of this chapter)
