"What?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Wait, Big Brother, why are you telling me such an important thing now?"
"This … Could it be …" Vergo finally realized what was going on.
"Could it be that these people are controlling the emissary group?" Green asked immediately.
"Since we can't find them in the palace, they are most likely with the emissary group," Li Huailin said. "Where did they come from? Where are they now?"
"They are the emissary group from Slansol City," Vergo replied. "They should be waiting in the front hall for His Majesty's summons."
"Hurry up," Li Huailin said.
Vergo, of course, didn't dare disobey Li Huailin's order. He brought Li Huailin and the others to the front hall. This wasn't the main hall, but a waiting room. When Li Huailin and the others entered, several elven emissaries were sitting there resting. When they saw someone enter, they thought it was someone informing them that they could come forward and have an audience, so they all stood up.
"Are there any here?" Li Huailin didn't care about them and asked Bryant, who was next to him.
"Hmm …" Bryant frowned slightly, then said, "To be honest, I don't feel anything strange."
"What? Really? "Li Huailin said," Hey, hey, there is obviously something wrong, okay? Is there something wrong with your perception? "
"I don't know what you mean when you say that there is something wrong with someone of a higher level. What kind of feeling is it? I have never seen this kind of magic beast before. Is it a strong sense of strangeness or alertness? I really don't know, "Bryant said. Bryant said, "Is it only your subordinate who has a special talent that allows him to sense these creatures?"
"Really?" Li Huailin was a little hesitant. To be honest, he only remembered that one of his subordinates had reminded him about this before. He thought that people with a higher level than them would be able to sense it. Did it really have to be a specific person? If that was the case, Li Huailin would have to go back to the Duke's Mansion to find the person from before and ask him to identify him.
Of course, it was also possible that the other party's plan hadn't been carried out yet. In other words, they hadn't managed to sneak in yet. However, Li Huailin thought that it had been a long time. Theoretically, they should have started working on their plan. Could it be that they were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they hadn't taken action yet and were still looking for a good opportunity? But wasn't this emissary group the best opportunity? Not only would they have a chance to assassinate the Emperor, but even if they failed, the Elf race and the Human race would turn against each other. After all, if the Elf race's envoy group assassinated the Emperor, no matter what, the two countries would go to war. Therefore, in theory, this was the best opportunity. Li Huailin felt that the other party would not let go of this opportunity.
"Sir, is His Majesty ready?" The Elf emissary saw that Li Huailin and the others didn't react, so he asked Vergo. That's right, they didn't recognize Li Huailin. Li Huailin didn't look like a minister, but Vergo, who was wearing an official's uniform, seemed to be here to pass a message.
"Don't be rude. This is the leader of the Continent Alliance, the Continent's Emperor, Lord Ruolin." Vergo immediately pointed at Li Huailin and said.
"What?" All the Elf emissaries were stunned. Yes, although they didn't recognize Li Huailin, they knew who Li Huailin was. Previously, Li Huailin had violently unified the entire continent. Based on the current situation, they were naturally under Li Huailin's command. Now that their leader suddenly appeared in front of them, they were a bit at a loss.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Continent's Emperor." After being stunned for a moment, they hurriedly saluted Li Huailin. One of them also stepped forward and said to Li Huailin, "May I ask why His Majesty the Emperor is here …"
"…" Li Huailin didn't know what to say. He didn't know if these people were Nemoya in disguise. If they were, he wouldn't be able to judge. After all, Nemoya could read the memories of those who were possessed. It was basically impossible to identify them, and Li Huailin didn't have any special way to distinguish them.
While Li Huailin was worrying, the door suddenly opened again. Of course, it attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked over and saw three people walking in. From their appearance, they seemed to be the ceremonial officers here.
"Elf emissary, His Majesty has already …" Just as he was about to say that His Majesty was already waiting for them, he saw Li Huailin. Yes, this ceremonial officer knew Li Huailin. On the day when Li Huailin killed the previous Emperor, he happened to be at the scene. When he saw Li Huailin here, he immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, His Majesty the Continent's Emperor."
"Is everything ready?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the ceremonial officer replied. The ceremonial officer replied. Since Li Huailin asked so casually, he casually added a few more words. Yes, this ceremonial officer was quite a crafty one. He had a lot of experience in the officialdom. At this moment, he only said a few good things about His Majesty Misad. "His Majesty didn't blame the Prime Minister for being late. What a virtuous man …"
"Is the Prime Minister here?" Vergo asked at the side.
"Yes, His Majesty originally told the Prime Minister not to come. After all, he is sick. However, the Prime Minister said that this is an important matter for the country. Although he is a little late, His Majesty didn't blame him," the ceremonial officer replied.
"Wait, sick?" Li Huailin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "What illness?"
"It doesn't seem to be a serious illness. I think it's just that he is getting old and his body isn't too good. He didn't attend the previous two court meetings. I didn't expect him to come today even though he is sick," the ceremonial officer replied.
"In that case, your Prime Minister hasn't seen him for a long time, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, I think I haven't seen the Prime Minister in seven to eight days. (There are not court meetings every day)." The ceremonial officer replied. He didn't know why Li Huailin suddenly cared about the Prime Minister, but he didn't hide it.
"Wait, could it be …" Green suddenly realized something. "Could it be that the Prime Minister is being controlled?"
"What? What control? "The ceremonial officer was stunned. Although he didn't know what was going on, he had a bad feeling about it.
"What?" Vergo was also stunned. "Could it be … Wait, the Prime Minister is late today. If he came in in a hurry, does that mean he didn't ask the guards to check him?"
"Well … the Prime Minister usually doesn't check …" The ceremonial officer said. "He is meeting with the envoy today. If the Prime Minister is a little late, I think it will be more …"
"I see. It's not the envoy, but the Prime Minister?" Li Huailin said. "Your Majesty didn't go to the Prime Minister to see him."
"Well …" The ceremonial officer was a little speechless. Yes, in theory, when the Prime Minister was sick, as the ruler of a country, he had to go see him. However, Emperor Misard wasn't fit to be an emperor. He didn't even bother to do anything on the surface. He didn't even go see the Prime Minister when he was sick.
"I'm really lucky to have escaped this disaster," Li Huailin said. Now he understood. Yes, the person who helped Nememoya find should be the Prime Minister. Originally, they were going to pretend to be sick and make the Emperor come to visit him. In the end, they didn't expect the Emperor to not follow the plan. He didn't come to see the Prime Minister when he was sick. They had no choice but to change their plan. Today was the day the envoy met, so they chose a good opportunity to directly attend the court meeting and use the opportunity to get close to the Emperor. Although this plan was obviously more dangerous than when they were treating the Prime Minister. After all, there were many experts in the palace, but it still had a good chance of success.
"Let's go." Roughly knowing what was going on, Li Huailin brought his people directly to the main hall.
"Eh? That, Master Ceremonial Officer, we … "The few Elf Envoys here were also confused. What was going on? What should they do?
"You guys continue to wait," Li Huailin said. "You guys haven't been cleared of suspicion yet. Let the guards watch them."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Vergo, who was beside him, said. He then greeted the soldiers next to him. Of course, the soldiers heard Li Huailin's words and immediately surrounded the Elf Envoys.
"No, Your Majesty, we are innocent." The group of Elf Envoys didn't dare to resist, but they really felt wronged.
Li Huailin didn't say anything. After all, he didn't know if it was really the Prime Minister. It was still possible that they couldn't tell. Of course, he couldn't let this group of Elf NPCs leave.
With a few people in tow, Li Huailin walked directly to the main hall of the palace. Of course, the surrounding guards were confused. They saw the ceremonial officer, and of course, they knew that the ceremonial officer was going to call the Elf Envoys. But why were there three Humans? The Elf Envoys couldn't be Humans, right? Although it was strange, they didn't go forward to ask. Li Huailin and the others smoothly walked up the stairs. Just as they were about to continue forward, suddenly, an angry roar came from the main hall of the palace.
"Lord Prime Minister, what are you doing!" The voice sounded very loud and clear. It was a man's voice. When Li Huailin heard the voice, he immediately sped up and walked towards the main hall. When he arrived, he saw a tense situation in the main hall.
Yes, the Prime Minister had already made his move. When Li Huailin turned around, he saw that Emperor Misad had been injured. He was currently clutching his chest and being protected by two guards. In front of the Emperor was an old man who looked like he was 70 years old. The old man was holding a bloodied sword. This old man was probably the Prime Minister. There were also a few people behind him. These people were all holding swords. They were probably the Prime Minister's accomplices.
The surrounding ministers still hadn't reacted. Yes, they were completely dumbfounded. The Prime Minister had actually injured the Emperor? What kind of situation was this? Was this a rebellion? Even if it was a rebellion, it shouldn't be like this. This was an assassination in front of the palace. What gave him the confidence to do such a thing? Did he really think that killing the Emperor would make him the Emperor? They really didn't expect such a situation to happen. Now, they were completely stunned.
"Guards!" At this time, one of the guards in front of the Emperor shouted. Li Huailin also recognized that this person was the one who questioned the Prime Minister just now. It was obvious that he was Misad's personal guard. In other words, he was a bodyguard. He probably noticed the Prime Minister's abnormality and reacted in advance, causing the Prime Minister's assassination plan to fail. After all, the Prime Minister would only make his move when he had the chance. Misad, this useless trash, definitely wouldn't have reacted. The only explanation was that the Prime Minister's personal guard helped to block the attack.
Hearing the guard's shout, the surrounding guards also reacted. That's right. Although they couldn't understand the current situation, protecting the Emperor was of course the most important. Therefore, they directly surrounded the Prime Minister, and the surrounding ministers hurriedly retreated.
"Attack!" Realizing that the situation wasn't right, the Prime Minister immediately shouted to the people behind him. Then, they immediately rushed towards the Emperor. Yes, it would take some time for the guards to arrive. It was obvious that the Prime Minister wanted to kill Misad now.
"Quick … Quick, protect me!" Misad was really terrified. Seeing this situation, he probably peed his pants. He immediately pulled the guards beside him to block the Prime Minister's path.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!" The guard on the Prime Minister's side was rather loyal. He immediately rushed towards the Prime Minister's side, but he didn't expect the Prime Minister to be flanked by two people, one in front and one at the back. The Prime Minister's side stopped the guard, while the rest of the guards continued to rush towards Misad's side.
"Your Majesty!" The guards shouted anxiously. Misad was scared out of his wits, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from behind, "Your Majesty, this way."
Misad didn't think too much about it. He immediately turned around and ran towards the back. Behind him was a guard. To be honest, he didn't recognize who it was. In such a critical situation, how could he still think so much? However, what he didn't see was that the guard had already tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. Yes, his target was also Misad. At this moment, no one expected this guard to attack Misad, so they weren't prepared at all.
"Save me …" Misad shouted to the guard behind him. However, he didn't expect that when he ran in front of the guard, the guard actually raised his sword at him. At this moment, Misad realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, you too …"
"It's too late. Die." The guard directly slashed at Misad's head, but the others around him didn't move at all.
"Ding!" At this critical moment, a hand suddenly appeared in front of Misad, and then two fingers pinched the sword that was slashing at him. When the guard saw the person who suddenly appeared, he was stunned at first, then suddenly said in surprise, "It's … It's you?"
