Xu Que, along with the three thousand Syracuse Guards and Buttface, rushed to the Third Duke's mansion in a majestic manner.
The passersby on the road made way for them, not daring to provoke them.
The one thousand guards from the Third Duke's mansion were still hesitating. They did not know if they should inform the Third Duke or save the young Duke.
These two choices were very dangerous for them, and their lives were in danger.
Therefore, the group of people continued to stand there, and no one dared to suggest what to do next.
…
At this time, in the Third Duke's mansion, in the master bedroom of a wing room.
The door was closed. Inside the room, a well-dressed noblewoman was holding a blue dragon robe embroidered with golden threads. She was undressing a middle-aged man.
The man put on the dragon robe, and his eyes were full of anger and madness. He laughed coldly and said, "This is the dragon robe that belongs to me!"
The noblewoman smiled and said, "You've put on the dragon robe, why don't you change the way you address me?"
"Hahaha! Yes, I am the one who is qualified to wear this dragon robe! " The man laughed loudly. This wing room had been set up with a spell, so they were not afraid that anyone outside could hear them.
This middle-aged man was obviously the father of the twelve young masters, the Third Duke.
The noblewoman was the Third Duke's legal wife.
One of them was dressed like the Emperor of the Water Nation, and the other was dressed like the Empress. They could only do such a disgraceful thing in the room.
"Soon, soon, I will be able to appear in front of them!" The Third Duke smiled and stood in front of a bronze mirror, admiring his heroic appearance after putting on the dragon robe.
The noblewoman snorted in dissatisfaction. "When your brother died, if you hadn't been too cowardly and didn't dare to take the opportunity to rebel, the throne wouldn't have been handed over to an outsider. Moreover, it was a woman. How absurd!"
The smile on the Third Duke's face gradually disappeared. He said in a deep voice, "The situation was so chaotic at that time, what could I do? Big Brother suddenly had a daughter. He said that he had a daughter with a woman outside a hundred years ago. We all believed him. Moreover, before he died, he issued an imperial edict, saying in front of all the officials that he would pass the throne to that woman. How could this prince dare to rebel so easily? "
"Then you can only blame your poor memory for suddenly remembering what happened a hundred years ago when that woman ascended to the throne and took control of the military!"
"So what? That woman will only be the Empress for a few more years. Soon, I will take the throne back! "The Third Duke sneered, full of confidence.
The noblewoman's expression softened slightly. "What do you think your big brother is thinking? A hundred years ago, you and your elder brother clearly stayed in the training ground for several decades and returned to the Imperial City after your cultivation was successful. It's impossible for him to have found a woman outside, so why did he suddenly pass the throne to an outsider? "
"I still can't figure it out, but it's very suspicious. I once saw my eldest brother show respect to that woman. At that time, I thought I was mistaken. Later, I remembered what happened in the trial ground and realized that I was right!" The Third Duke frowned.
The noblewoman waved her hand. "Forget it. Who cares about her background? Anyway, we have enough soldiers now. The Water Nation has just gone through two wars, and that woman has not returned yet. It's a good opportunity for us to attack! "
"Hehe, it's all thanks to that General Zhuge. If he hadn't conquered the ten cities and defeated the Ice Queen, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the chance to conquer the ten cities! Now, it's God's will! "The Third Duke sneered again.
He knew that the Water Empress was not the biological daughter of the late Emperor. When he and the late Emperor of the Water Nation entered the training ground, the late Emperor inherited the throne. During that time, he had no chance to meet other women, let alone have an illegitimate daughter.
Only he and the late Emperor knew about this. The other Dukes did not suspect anything.
Therefore, he had this information on him and had been secretly amassing his troops, waiting for an opportunity to openly mobilize his troops.
After all, no one would be willing to give up the throne to an outsider. Therefore, he was confident that when the time came, the rest of the Dukes would stand on his side.
"By the way, speaking of that General Zhuge, who is he? He is so powerful that he conquered ten cities in just two days. Is he really a God of War? I'm afraid that he will be a threat to our plan, "the noblewoman suddenly said, frowning slightly.
The Third Duke smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. Although I haven't found a chance to talk to him alone, I have sent people to investigate the ten cities. It is said that General Zhuge is very young, and every time he conquered a city, he would lead his troops to loot the governor's mansion. He must be a greedy man, and this kind of person is easy to bribe. Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite him to our house. We will know what he is thinking. "
"I see, you devil! I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to try on the dragon robe today. It turns out that everything has been prepared!" The noblewoman patted the Third Duke's chest and leaned into his arms.
The Third Duke laughed and said, "Hehe, I don't know why, but my eyelids kept twitching today. I feel a little uneasy, but now that I'm wearing the dragon robe, I feel a little calmer. I'm only one step away from that position! As long as we can defeat that General Zhuge, the Water Nation will be ours! "
"I can believe you, but after I take back the throne, I will definitely lock that woman in prison and torture her every day. I will use all kinds of cruel methods! Don't forget that our son has been punished by her all these years! "The noblewoman said with a vicious look in her eyes.
"Of course!"
The Third Duke replied. His eyes were flickering, as if the image of the Water Empress had appeared in his mind. He could not help but feel a trace of greed in his eyes.
The noblewoman did not notice this. She was still lying in the Third Duke's arms, but she felt something pressing against her lower abdomen.
She rolled her eyes at the Third Duke and said coquettishly, "You devil! Why are you so energetic in broad daylight?"
When the Third Prince saw the lady in this state, all the images in his mind were instantly swept away. All his fantasies were gone, and he almost vomited.
He quickly changed the topic. "By the way, I have an interesting story to tell you. I heard from several spies that every time Master Zhuge loots the mansion, he will knock on the door first and say that he will search the mansion. He promised that he would not take a needle or a thread! And guess what happened? As soon as the door was opened, he rushed in with his men and shouted that he would take everything except a needle or a thread! Hahaha … "
The noblewoman giggled and said, "How can there be such a shameless person …"
…
Knock! Knock!
But at this moment, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door.
The two stopped laughing and listened carefully. They realized that the knock was coming from the front door of the mansion.
Soon after, a voice was heard!
