Chapter 519: Good death

The spy leader is actually not stupid. He has been engaged in spy work for many years and has known that this matter is inseparable from the third prince, but how dare he get out of the third prince? So he didn't plan to find the mastermind behind it. He just hoped to catch the murderer and then destroy the verdict, so he quickly closed the case. As long as he could have an explanation with the emperor, it would be fine.

But after the spy leader came to the scene to see it, he was stunned. Looking at the palace where a corner was knocked out, he almost wanted to cry. Because from the extent of this destruction, it was obvious that the masters at the Holy Realm level were fighting, that is to say, the assassin was the sword saint! Then his original plan was completely lost. With his strength, he was not able to surround the sword saint. But if he could not catch the murderer and could not find out the mastermind behind the scenes, how could he explain to the emperor?

In desperation, the spy leader had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​further pursuit and ran back quickly to report the situation on the scene to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could understand his difficulties.

Because the spy leader acted quickly, the emperor received a reward that morning. After listening to the spy leader's report, the emperor was also surprised and said, "Are you right? Are you fighting for the masters of the holy realm?"

"Absolutely not wrong!" The head of the spy smiled bitterly, "I have personally investigated seven stone pillars, two-foot thick, and one-foot thick bluestone walls broke eleven sides. The entire three rooms on the outer layer were all broken and completely disappeared. The huge palace was at least one-tenth of it. Judging from the situation of the destruction site, this was caused by one blow!"

Lao Xie did not intend to reveal his old story, so he did not admit to the spy leader that it was his own actions, but that it was done by the assassin. Therefore, the spy leader had such a misunderstanding.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately frowned and said lightly: "This situation seems to be caused by the sword saint. So who did it?"

"Your Majesty, there are only five sword saints in the empire now. Among them, Sven of the God Sword is the little Stephen's man, and he is also his uncle. It is obvious that it is impossible to assassinate Princess Catherine and Stephen's little Stephen. The perfect sword saint Cassia is far away from the front line and cannot come back at all. Although Sword Saint of the Wild Wind is also a holy land. However, he is good at archery and is not familiar with close combat. This level of damage cannot be done by him. Although Sword Saint of the Heavy Armor has the ability to cause such damage, he got married last night and married his 23rd wife. On this wedding night, he would probably not do such a thing, and he has a close relationship with the Stephen family. He has received the favor of the Sage Saint of Lightning, so there is no reason to assassinate the Stephen's daughter-in-law!" The spy leader stopped after he said this.

Of course the emperor knew what he meant, frowned and said, "So, the only doubtful thing is the Shadow Sword Saint?"

"Oh. From the perspective of strength, the Shadow Sword Saint is indeed suspicious. Besides, he has been with the Stephen family for nearly a hundred years~" the spy leader said carefully. "So, this matter may have something to do with him!"

After all, the Shadow Sword Saint is also the emperor's confidant, so the spy leader was very careful when speaking, almost looking at the emperor's face and saying that as long as the emperor's face is a little wrong, he will stop immediately.

But to the surprise of the spy leader, the emperor just listened silently, without any expression on his face. After he finished speaking, the emperor said, "Since there is a partner of suspicion, then check it out for me! Anyway, I can't find the murderer, so I'll just ask!" After that, the emperor left without looking back.

The spy leader was not surprised and happy when he saw this. He thought that the emperor had acquiesced to investigate the Shadow Sword Saint at will. However, the emperor knew that this was not done by the Shadow Sword Saint, so no matter how much the spy leader investigated, it would be impossible to find the handle of the Shadow Sword Saint. The reason why the emperor asked the spy leader to investigate was to frame him on purpose. He planned to sacrifice the spy leader as a scapegoat to protect the two real holy assassins under the Shadow Sword Saint. Obviously, in the eyes of the emperor, the status of the holy assassins is undoubtedly much higher than that of the spy leader. At this time, the poor spy leader did not know that he had become a victim and was still loyal to investigate the Shadow Sword Saint for the emperor.

After seeing off the spy leader, Lao Xie and Catherine played in the scenic Qingquan Palace for a while. Constantine and Vivian also followed them to see them. There were dozens of barbarian warriors brought by Sven to protect them. Then the few people had lunch together. After eating and drinking, they planned to go back to the Magic Tower to live together. This broken place is beyond the gold and jade, and the scattered shaggy. Visiting is a holy place, and living is a garbage place.

However, just as Lao Xie and others were about to go back, a team of elite soldiers from the imperial capital blocked their way. A total of 3,000 troops surrounded Qingquan Palace, and then a young nobleman with a slick accent came to Lao Xie and the others proudly.

"His Royal Highness Princess Catherine, I am sent by the military department to protect your local people. For your safety, please don't walk around?" The guy stopped in front of the old Xie's carriage and pretended to be concerned. Although his words were all about Catherine, it can be seen from his attitude that this kid was clearly the one who was ordered to put Catherine under house arrest.

What a smart person, Lao Xie? How could he be deceived by him? Naturally, he suddenly saw his tricks and immediately became so angry that his eyebrows stood up. He thought to himself, I just killed a fat pig that was ignorant yesterday, why did another one die today? Is this stupid boy really thinking that the garrison troops of the Three Thousand Imperial Capital can suppress me? Or did he look down on me at all?

Thinking of this, Lao Xie walked out of the carriage with a sneer and came to the other side, and then said with a slight smile: "So it was the one sent by the military headquarters to protect the princess?"

"That's right!" the guy nodded immediately and agreed.

"Then let me ask you, whose order did you come here?" Lao Xie asked pretending to behave.

"We came here to protect the princess' safety by the orders of General Cockland, Vice General of the Military Department!" The guy thought that he had really scared Lao Xie, and then said proudly: "Sir, this place is a princess' resting place. Please leave if you are idle!" Obviously he was driving people.

"Where is the princess?" Lao Xie sneered.

"Of course the princess can't leave!" The guy immediately said: "For the sake of the princess' safety, the order we have received is to strictly prohibit the princess from going out!"

"Ba~" Lao Xie slapped the boy directly, slapped the boy to the ground, and then cursed angrily: "What is the little military deputy? Just that bullshit bastard, who is a big bullshit, is also qualified to interfere with the Princess's actions? Are you idiot?"

"Wow!" The guy was dizzy when he was beaten by Lao Xie. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and immediately brought these several big teeth. Then he was so angry that he trembled all over and said directly: "You, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?" Hearing that tone, he seemed to have some great support, but unfortunately this thing was ineffective against Lao Xie.

"I don't care what you are?" Lao Xie looked down on such a bully guy the most. He kicked him out and kicked him up, knocking him down several soldiers before stopping.

"Wow!" The guy immediately spitted out a mouthful of blood after landing. The moment just now was just a wound in his mouth, but this time it was a serious internal abdomen, which made him burn in his inner trunk. The huge pain seemed to arouse his fierceness. The guy then roared at his subordinates: "Bastard, kill him for me!"

Seeing this, the soldiers who followed him immediately drew their weapons, but that was all they were all. No one dared to come forward to attack Lao Xie. Obviously, these people were extremely concerned about Lao Xie's identity.

However, despite this, Lao Xie was also angry by the boy's repeated ignorance of appearance, and then sneered: "Haha, I still seem to be too gentle. There are still idiots who dare to ask someone to kill me? Humph, it seems that it will be impossible not to teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, Lao Xie waved his hand and said, "Give him a meal!"

With Lao Xie's order, the magic spiders who sat down by the barbarians suddenly became energetic and rushed over excitedly, ate all the guy in a short moment. As for the guards he brought, they were scared away when the magic spiders rushed over, and none of them dared to stop them.

"Hmph, idiot!" Lao Xie then cursed angrily, then boarded the carriage again, and replied, "Let's go, whoever dares to stop him will kill you!"

"Yes!" The barbarian knights roared, and took out their weapons to open the way in front.

When the new troops saw this situation, no one dared to stop them, and took the initiative to make way. Even the main general was killed, how could they dare to show up? After all, Lao Xie's group of people were too sensitive, and they were both princesses and dukes. According to the laws of the Griffin Kingdom, the great nobles killed these ordinary soldiers, and if they had to die, they would be fined a little money. If these soldiers broke a hair of Lao Xie and the others, they would be a serious crime for being executed. Therefore, when no one supported them, they would not dare to touch Lao Xie and the others at all. They could only watch Lao Xie and others kill and leave.

More than an hour later, the news of the guy being killed was returned to the imperial capital. In a hidden place in the August family, the third prince and the patriarch of the August family were secretly talking about this matter.

"Oh, what a pity, a talented young man was killed by the brutal little Stephen just 2 hours after taking office. What an outrageous and heartbreaking thing!" The third prince finished speaking in a pretentious manner, then laughed to the sky and said, "Haha, good death!"
