"Your Royal Highness, Søren is actually not suitable to be the ruler of a kingdom, isn't he?" High priest Yan Ping said plainly, "He's too casual and impulsive. He's just ascended to the throne and he can't wait to make a move on Marquis Fue, giving people the impression that he suddenly became rich after a long period of poverty. "
Yan Ping was making fun of Søren for being a political upstart.
Princess Jung Yeon lowered her beautiful eyes and said, "You said you want to abandon Søren, but how?"
Yan Ping said, "That depends on Your Royal Highness' will. There have been many such cases in history."
You said, "Then wouldn't our Yun Family really become a group of people who would be thrown away when the birds are no longer needed and cooked when the hares are dead?"
Yan Ping said, "If we don't cast aside after all the birds have been killed, can we still be called kings?"
Princess Jung Yeon said, "Between the Dragon Temple and Søren, can I really only choose one?"
"Yes, you can only choose one," Yan Ping said, "This is also the will of the Holy Priest Ge Li and Chief Judge Rogge."
Princess Jung Yeon stood up and said, "Alright, I understand. Sir Yan Ping, please go ahead."
Yan Ping was startled and said, "Your Royal Highness has made your choice? That's for the best, I'll report to Lord Ge Li now. "
Princess Jung Yeon looked at Yan Ping and said word by word, "It's a great honor to have the Sky Priest crown me. However, all honor is a matter of face. Losing face will only make me look a little ugly, but at least I won't die! My husband, Søren, is my biggest support. Without him, how can I rule the kingdom? You want me to destroy myself just for the crown of the Sky Priest? Do you think I, Jung Yeon, am such a stupid woman in your eyes? "
Yan Ping's expression changed and said, "Your Royal Highness, do you really want to become enemies with the Dragon Temple?"
Princess Jung Yeon said calmly, "Of course not, I have no intention of becoming enemies with the Dragon Temple, and neither does my husband. Of course, I hope to get the support of the Dragon Temple. But if you want me to abandon my husband, Sauron, as the price, this is absolutely impossible. "
Yan Ping said coldly, "Without the support of my Dragon Temple, does Princess Jung Yeon think that you can sit firmly on the throne? Moreover, you are a woman. "
Princess Jung Yeon said lightly, "None of the previous monarchs of the Dongli Kingdom have been crowned by the Dragon Temple. They are still living well."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Ping's expression changed greatly. He abruptly stood up and said with an ashen face, "I will pass on your words to His Excellency the Holy Priest!"
Then, High priest Yanping turned around and left.
His every move showed the anger of the Dragon Temple.
But as soon as he walked out of the room, he immediately felt a pair of eyes. A pair of beautiful eyes, cold as ice.
Raising his head …
Sure enough, her eyes were like the ocean, so beautiful that the bottom could not be seen.
Ashita Liren's beautiful face was just a dozen meters in front of him.
She was still so beautiful, even more beautiful than before. However, the most beautiful woman in the world no longer belonged to him.
Or rather, she had never truly belonged to him.
More than a decade ago, although Ashita Liren was his wife in name, they had never even touched each other's hands.
Now, this woman and Søren were incomparably intimate. Every time he thought of this, Yan Ping's heart ached, and he wished he could tear Søren's body into pieces.
If Yan Ping had not put on an ugly show before, he could gracefully go forward and ask about his well-being.
But now, he could only nod his head and leave in front of the woman he loved the most.
"Yan Ping!" Ashita Liren suddenly called out to him!
Yan Ping's body trembled as if he had been hit by the Body Fixing Spell. This woman was still full of infinite charm towards him.
Ashita Liren said, "Remember, I will definitely kill you."
Yan Ping felt a chill run down his spine and said, "Then I will wait."
Then, he directly left.
…
Zhi Li was now in a state where life and death did not matter!
It was fine to let him live. He would live in a muddle-headed manner, unable to find any goals anyway.
It was fine to let him die, especially if his death could bring peace to his wife and daughter.
Therefore, he used all his strength in this chopstick, wanting to pierce through the entire head.
Although the Evil Demon's blood could heal any wound and detoxify any poison. However, it was not that it was miraculous. It was all at the cost of overdrafting one's life force.
Therefore, he directly chopped off the head and pierced through the brain.
Damn it, he would still die.
"Slash …" After the sharp chopstick pierced half an inch into the brain, Zhi Li's entire body was suddenly imprisoned, unable to move at all.
"Bang …" Then, a huge wave of spiritual energy suddenly exploded in his brain.
In an instant, Zhi Li directly fainted.
Then, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and appeared at the entrance of the tower.
The door opened, and an incomparably beautiful snow-white figure slowly entered.
Saintess Ji Soo-ning's face was filled with incomparable anger and disappointment!
Not long after she entered the Fengdu Holy Palace on her griffin, she immediately used her spiritual energy to lock onto Zhi Li's direction.
Then, she easily sensed the strong fluctuations of Zhi Li's spiritual energy field, the kind of determination before death.
She immediately knew that Zhi Li was going to commit suicide!
So, she directly jumped off the griffin and used her fastest speed to approach Zhi Li. Then, from a distance of a few hundred meters, with a few layers of walls between them, she used her spiritual energy to imprison and freeze Zhi Li's body!
No one saw this scene, otherwise, they would be completely shocked!
It was completely unbelievable that Ji Soo-ning, who was only in her twenties, could be so powerful.
The all-loving Saintess Ji Soo-ning always looked indifferent, and her eyes were always full of compassion.
Although she was the high and mighty Saintess, the eldest princess of the Yan Empire, she always gave people a feeling of kindness and tolerance.
Although she was the high and mighty Saintess, the eldest princess of the Yan Empire.
At this moment, her beautiful face was unprecedentedly cold, and her gentle eyes were filled with unprecedented anger.
These Temple Warriors were personally handpicked by her from the Flame Capital Temple. It had only been two to three days, but they had all been bribed by someone else.
She originally thought that the Fengdu Holy Palace was rotten to the core, and that the Yanjing Temple should still be clean. Unexpectedly, the Yanjing Temple was also rotten.
Sensing Ji Soo-ning's anger, all the Templars in the secret chamber immediately knelt down.
"I will definitely get to the bottom of this." Ji Soo-ning said coldly, "I want to see how muddy the waters of the Fengdu Holy Palace are."
Ji Soo-ning walked in front of Zhi Li and saw a chopstick stuck in his forehead, as if it had grown a horn.
She pulled the chopstick out, and blood gushed out. But in just a moment, the half-inch deep wound was completely healed.
With a gentle brush of her hand, Zhi Li woke up and saw the beautiful Ji Soo-ning.
"Why do you want to die?" Ji Soo-ning asked.
Zhi Li said, "If I don't die, my wife and daughter will die."
Ji Soo-ning said, "I promise you, they will not die."
Zhi Li said, "Your Excellency Saintess is powerful and righteous, but you can't guarantee that."
Ji Soo-ning said, "Søren sent Ashita Liren and Jung Yeon to protect your wife and daughter. I think that unless Her Excellency Jiang Shang comes, no one can kill them."
Zhi Li was shocked, "Really?"
Ji Soo-ning said, "Before, Jung Yeon and Søren were inseparable, but now that Jung Yeon is always at the Princess Residence, Gao Yin and Zhuang Zhixuan are Søren's bodyguards."
Zhi Li smiled strangely, "I didn't expect that the lives of my wife and daughter would be protected by my greatest enemy. This world is ridiculous."
Ji Soo-ning said, "Let's go, follow me to Yan Capital! Even if it's for your wife and daughter, at the last moment, don't be stubborn! "
…
Ji Soo-ning personally brought Zhi Li out of the underground chamber of the tower and came to the surface.
At this time, there were 20 Gryphons floating in the air. These were brought by Ji Soo-ning from the Yan Empire, specifically to escort Zhi Li.
Holy Priest Ge Li and Chief Judge Rogue finally showed themselves. When they saw that Zhi Li was still alive, their expressions turned ugly.
They were deeply entangled with Zhi Li, but not to the point where they were implicated.
This time, it was the power of the Hidden Island that made Zhi Li commit suicide. Ge Li and Rogue only cooperated.
But they didn't expect that Zhi Li was still alive!
Rogue and Ge Li faintly felt that they were in trouble.
Of course, Fengdu Holy Temple had some unspeakable dealings with Zhi Li, and it even involved money, women, etc.
But it was still the same, at Rogue and Ge Li's level, they definitely wouldn't fall because of money and women.
There were only two reasons that could lead to their downfall: political struggles and the belief in the Dragon.
Ge Li and Rogue were really worried that Ji Soo-ning, in her anger, would implicate them for the crime of Zhi Li having demonic blood and opposing the belief in the Dragon.
Sure enough, Ji Soo-ning asked, "Zhi Li, does Fengdu Holy Temple know that you have demonic blood?"
Ge Li and Rogue's eyes were filled with a strong warning as they looked at Zhi Li.
Zhi Li hesitated for a while. Fengdu Holy Temple didn't know that he had demonic blood.
And if he implicated Fengdu Holy Temple, it would be equivalent to doing Søren and Jung Yeon a big favor. His wife and daughter could no longer rely on others. They could only rely on Søren and Jung Yeon's protection.
Ji Soo-ning asked again, "Zhi Li, does Fengdu Holy Temple know that you have demonic blood?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhi Li said calmly, "They should know because my demonic blood was taken out by High Priest Naaru. His elder brother happens to be working in the Dragon Temple's laboratory. "
"Zhi Li, don't slander me." Rogue said sternly, "The demonic blood you have has nothing to do with Fengdu Holy Temple. Don't make a mistake."
Ji Soo-ning said coldly, "If it has nothing to do with Fengdu Holy Temple, why did you kill him in such a hurry?"
Rogue instinctively wanted to say that it was the Hidden Island who killed him, but he immediately stopped himself.
Ji Soo-ning wanted to use Zhi Li to stir up a huge case, and her target was Fengdu Holy Temple and the Hidden Island.
Therefore, the Hidden Island and Fengdu Holy Temple had to stick together and not expose each other.
However, Fengdu Holy Temple was indeed wronged in this matter. They really had no idea that Zhi Li had demonic blood.
However, this matter happened in Fengdu Holy Temple, and Zhi Li was almost killed in Fengdu Holy Temple. Therefore, they could not clear their names no matter what.
"The real can't be added, and the fake can't be real." Ji Soo-ning said coldly, "Take him away!"
Then, she brought Zhi Li onto the griffin and flew north under the protection of more than twenty griffin warriors!
Rogue and Ge Li looked at each other and sighed. "A storm is coming!"
…
Palace Cabinet!
Today, Søren was going to clean up the second Cabinet target, which was Finance Minister Solf. He was Zhi Li's most direct subordinate and had a very ambiguous relationship with the Hidden Yuan Association.
According to the information Søren obtained, Solf had embezzled more than 630,000 gold coins in the six years he had been the Finance Minister.
What did this mean? It was equivalent to more than half of the annual taxes of the Raging Wave Kingdom!
His wealth was truly comparable to a country! Of course, this huge embezzlement paled in comparison to He Shen of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
However, Solf's status was not as high as He Shen's.
In the court of the Raging Wave Kingdom, Finance Minister Solf could barely be ranked in the top ten.
Just based on this point, Søren was enough to sentence him to death!
Today, Søren arrived at the Cabinet very early, so there would not be any ministers present.
However, he did not expect Finance Minister Solf to arrive already. It was as if he had been waiting for Søren.
When he saw Søren, he stepped forward and bowed. "Your subject greets Duke Søren."
His tone was relatively flat and did not have much flattery.
Søren asked, "Why is Lord Solf here so early?"
Solf replied, "Please tell me that Marquis Fu E angered Lord Solf and was sent to prison."
Søren was startled. How interesting!
I was just about to make an example out of you, the Finance Minister, but not only are you not worried, you even ask about Marquis Fu E?
"That's right." Sauron smiled and said, "Does Lord Sof want to accompany him?"
Finance Minister Solf gave a mysterious smile and handed over a book.
Sauron took a look and found that each page of the book was actually a gold note. Each note was worth a thousand gold coins, and it was a thick stack of notes.
There were nearly 200 pages in this book!
This Finance Minister Solf actually used 200,000 gold coins as a bribe!
Søren understood now. Solf's question about Marquis Fu E was fake, and his real intention was to let him go.
Solf used 200,000 gold coins to buy his life, but he could not say that he was guilty, so he could only use Marquis Fu E as an excuse.
"As the Finance Minister, I will definitely follow Lord Duke's lead from now on." Finance Minister Solf said indifferently, "Right, there are some things you might not know. Besides being the Finance Minister of the kingdom, I am also one of the ten elders of the Hidden Era Association. In addition, His Excellency Baron of the Holy Cathedral of Necropolis is my milk brother and also your mother's direct superior! "
The so-called milk brother referred to Baron who grew up drinking Solf's mother's milk.
Søren's eyes narrowed.
The target in front of him that he wanted to purge was actually so fearless.
First, he took out 200,000 gold coins to bribe him, and then he brought out his backer!
One of the ten elders of the Hidden Era Association, and his milk brother was one of the four leaders of the Necropolis Tribunal!
This backer was indeed powerful, even more so than Marquis Fu E.
No wonder this Solf was neither servile nor overbearing, and even threatened him.
Seeing Sauron's expression, Minister of Finance Sauron calmly said, "Sir Sauron, some things are better off not being muddle-headed. Opening one eye and closing the other, is it good for both of us? Isn't that right? "
