All Heavens: Starting from Douluo

Chapter 1353: Turning against guests

"Your Highness, do you need my help?"

After realizing something was wrong.

After his demonic powers were sealed.

Before being locked up.

This captain of the Royal Guards, who seemed to have some brains, recommended himself and tried hard to prove his worth to Huan Du Luolan.

The main thing is that this matter is indeed a bit strange.

Look back and think carefully.

Now, Lady Gai, who is handling government affairs on behalf of the emperor, can call Huan Du Luolan over if she really needs to urgently summon her. The imperial palace is big, but small too. Lady Gai is a genuine demon king herself. Even if she doesn't give a reason, based on her relationship with Huan Du Luolan, she can call Huan Du Luolan over. This is the most brutal but most efficient way.

Secondly, just as Huan Du Luo Lan said.

Ask a female official or maid to come and inform.

There are no concubines in the Southern Kingdom's palace, because Huan Du Qingtian is considered a son-in-law. He was chosen by Huan Du Luolan's mother before he was hailed as the number one warrior in the Southern Kingdom. At that time, Huan Du Qingtian was just a demon king, that is, a foundation-building cultivator, and Huan Du Luolan's mother was the Queen of the Southern Kingdom who ascended the throne with the help of Lady Gai. She passed away hundreds of years ago.

Because the lifespan of the demon race is just long.

Not infinite.

Therefore, for Huandu Qingtian.

He has lost a lot of his spirit over the years, and it would be difficult for him to have any ambitions unless he is stimulated. He would rather stay with his daughter Huan Du Luolan and train her to be a qualified successor before he dies. Although this wish is not unrealistic, it is very realistic and safe, because Huan Du Qingtian is the Demon King.

Don't look at him now that he is very old.

In fact, living another three thousand years is still possible.

Three thousand years of time.

Even if Huan Du Luo Lan is a pig.

It can also be a bit of achievement.

Therefore, there are no concubines in the Southern Kingdom’s palace.

Huan Du Qingtian himself could not forget his wife who had been with him through thick and thin.

In addition, she was afraid of finding a stepmother who would not treat her daughter well, because not every woman would be self-aware after being favored. Instead of worrying about these trivial matters, it is better to strangle the problem at the source.

But there are still female officials and maids.

Because before, the internal affairs of the Southern Kingdom were handled by Huan Du Luolan's mother.

Among them, the head of the female officials was Lady Gai.

In addition, Huan Du Luo Lan also needs to be taken care of.

On the matter of gender.

Women are undoubtedly more convenient for this kind of work.

Therefore, it is indeed reasonable to let a female official or maid come to notify.

Moreover, even if the above methods do not work, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard should come in person. As for the commander of the Imperial Guard, that is, Du Laozi, one of the Five Poison Guards, it is inconvenient for him to come because of relationship issues. To put it bluntly, his identity is Huan Du Qingtian's younger brother. If he comes here, it would be like an uncle meeting his niece. It is not good to handle the matter impartially, and it is not right to play the family card, because this matter is inherently serious, and it is not wrong not to meet.

But the deputy commander should come, right?

Why did the deputy commander want to divide this task?

Why didn't his immediate superior, one of the thousand households under the deputy commander, come in person, but instead let him, a centurion, bring his men?

He even warned him not to let the news leak out?

If you think about it, isn’t this suspicious?

Also, why would someone assassinate him when he gave the order to remove his armor?

Or even that the assassin was his subordinate?

All signs point to one thing: there may have been a palace coup within the Southern Kingdom!

Therefore, at this critical juncture, making amends for one's crime is the best option!

Even if he guessed wrong.

As long as Princess Huan Du Luo Lan pleads for him.

At most you'll get scolded.

Just tell him not to think about things he shouldn't think about.

It's harmless.

However, Huan Du Luolan did not want to keep a person who was not sure whether he was a time bomb by her side. Even if she had tested this person and found that he did not seem to be a time bomb, there was no need for her to give the mastermind an opportunity to take advantage of him because of her momentary kindness.

Even if she knew.

There is no way this mastermind will succeed.

Nothing you do will succeed.

Because Lin Chaoci and others have already arrived, and they are moving in a group. It can be said that even if the entire Southern Kingdom is united in resistance, it is impossible to have any impact on Lin Chaoci and his group. It is just the difference between killing more or fewer people.

But there's no need to take the risk.

It’s best not to take the risk.

This is actually the same thing as trouble.

Therefore, Huan Du Luo Lan rejected the proposal.

He didn't even plan to take the maids out.

It wasn't that she didn't trust the maids.

Quite the opposite, even.

It was precisely because she trusted these maids that she let them stay to guard these soldiers. Although the cultivation of these maids was generally not high, each of them was a hard-earned warrior, personally selected and trained by her father Huandu Qingtian.

However, loyalty and strength are two different things.

No matter how loyal the soldier is.

If you don't have the strength, you will be of no use.

There are indeed some assassins with high cultivation and realm in the palace.

However, on the one hand, these powerful death warriors had other uses and were placed beside various demon kings. This was a system drawn up by her mother when she was alive. Secondly, because she was too young, her father Huan Du Qingtian, her elders Gai Taijun, and even the Five Poison Guards were all worried that she would abuse these death warriors. For example, if she saw someone she didn't like on the road today, she would send death warriors to assassinate him, which would lead to her developing a wanton character. On the contrary, it would be more appropriate to replace them with death warriors who were at the second level of Qi training, or at most the third level, because they didn't have that ability.

Because of this, she didn't want to waste these precious warriors.

It’s just that Huan Du Luo Lan didn’t know.

Among that group of soldiers.

There are also one third of the hidden assassins whose cultivation level is around the seventh level of Qi training.

Even if an accident really happened.

These powerful demon-level warriors can also make this accident not be an accident.

Fenglidan and the like are even more of a joke.

For the Southern Kingdom’s warriors, immunity to all poisons is standard.

As for the efficacy of the medicine, it definitely exists.

But at most it can only suppress their cultivation.

Therefore, without Huan Du Luolan noticing, these assassins had already broken free from their restraints, and then exchanged secret signals with the maids in Huan Du Luolan's yard. They found the antidote from these maids, took it, and quietly followed Huan Du Luolan.

And secretly assisted Huan Du Luo Lan in seizing power.

Until Huan Du Luolan took control of the Imperial Guard.

Because the nominal leader, Du Laozi, is not here.

These assassins returned to where they were supposed to be.

Just like the plan.

The stage was handed over to Huan Du Luo Lan.

And, Huandu Qingtian who is in seclusion.

"Actually, what's the danger?"

"Just an old father's fishing plan."

"But I didn't expect that a really big fish, the one I had never seen before, would take the bait."

"It's that simple."

Looking at the southern capital not far away.
