Seeing the footprints on his right cheek, Zhang Mu was shocked: "Someone actually attacked Your Highness?!
Who? Who did it?"
Looking around, everyone looked up at the sky, and they were just about to whistle to prove their innocence. He seemed to understand something and kicked Recht.
Recht thought the beating was over, and was halfway to his feet with a look of grievance on his face when he was kicked over again without warning.
After being humiliated repeatedly, he exploded.
He almost jumped up, took out his staff and was ready to fight Zhang Mu to the death.
The city lord, who had already calmed down, was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly took out the magic wand he had just put away.
This is what he wants to do!
The four city lords who were being beaten up in the back hurriedly hugged Recht's limbs from behind: "Calm down, they have more people!"
"Enough!" Seeing that the city lords were about to gang up on him again, Andre shouted angrily.
When everyone was quiet, he walked towards the door with a cold face: "Pack up and go to the debriefing meeting."
Zhang Mu looked at the five city lords who supported each other and ran towards the stairs and fled back to their rooms. He shook his sleeves and also went back to the room.
"Lord Aigi, please wait a moment."
The voice was chilling. He paused, turned slowly, and looked at the icy blue figure standing outside the door: "Your Highness, Princess, how are you?"
Chapter 274 What is treason? This is called clearing the court of officials
Avril stopped outside the door, and Lord Edge performed a standard knight's salute.
Looking at the middle-aged man in the center of the hall with a respectful smile on his face, the fire in her heart gradually died out.
If he is really my junior, how could he not recognize me...
She knew that she had recognized the wrong person again, but she was a little unwilling to accept it.
After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Lord Aigi."
"exist."
"That." She pointed at the phone on the ground that had been crushed in the chaos. "Is it a magic prop? Or a tool?"
"Tools?" Aggie muttered to himself blankly, then said with a smile, "Princess, I have never heard of tools.
Besides, it belongs to Mr. Recht, so if you want to know its specific name, you have to ask him."
"Thank you for your answer."
"It is my honor to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess." As he spoke, he saluted again.
Avril nodded in response, turned and walked out the door. Biaou, who was waiting across the cobblestone road, saw her and immediately ran over.
"What are you doing suddenly in there? Although my brother has dispersed the guards, he is likely still nearby.
If he sees you, he will definitely punish you for contacting the city lord without permission."
"It's a little... nothing, sorry." She replied with her eyes looking blankly at the ground.
It can’t be my junior classmate. He has no reason to pretend to be the Lord of Gul City.
Moreover, even if his disguise magic could deceive city lords from all over the place, it would be impossible to escape the eyes of the church, especially since City Lord Aggie went to the church on the first day he came to the capital.
Seeing her dazed look, Bi Yaou asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? Did you discover anything unexpected?"
Awake, Avril forced a smile: "No, I... Let's go back to the palace."
"Wait a minute, Danielson just sent his deputy to pass me a note."
"What did you say?"
He led her into an alley not far away, looked around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and told her about the blood sacrifice formation.
After hearing this, Avril did not show the shocked expression he expected, but just twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly.
“It fits my perception of them.”
Biyao was stunned for a few seconds, then came to his senses and asked in astonishment: "In your mind, is father so cruel?"
With an ambiguous smile, she stopped talking and walked towards the alley.
"I'll leave the blood sacrifice array in your hands."
"What about you?"
"I have more pressing matters."
The icy blue figure reached the alley entrance, turned left and disappeared.
Piaou stood there, guessing about the "important matter" she mentioned.
The royal family's inherited magic tower.
According to normal development, the two must defeat Andre and ascend the throne before they can enter the magic tower.
However, Avril's health condition has deteriorated much faster than expected, and she may not survive until the day when the heir to the throne is announced.
Andre didn't need to do anything. If he just left her alone, she would die from the side effects of the secret technique.
But now things have taken a turn for the better.
The king and the two grand dukes are ambitious and want to be promoted to divine protection through a blood sacrifice array, but Andre intends to snatch them away.
It was obvious that the conflict between the two sides was so acute that it was irreconcilable, and a decisive battle was bound to break out in the royal capital.
By then, the capital will be in chaos, and Avril can take the opportunity to sneak into the magic tower and receive the inheritance from ice and snow.
Piaou sorted out the context.
The only thing he could do was to divert the attention of both parties so that they would have no time to care about Avril.
Thinking of this, he stopped standing there in a daze and quickly hurried towards his own house.
…………
"Both of them are gone." Mi He pushed the door open and reported to Zhang Mu who was sitting at the wooden table in the living room.
"What did we talk about?"
"I didn't mention you."
Mi He seemed to be answering a question that was not relevant to the question. Zhang Mu looked up and glanced at him: "Just guess it yourself, don't spread it around."
"As ordered."
After saying that, he glanced around: "Where are the two of them?"
"Since Domit had nothing to do in the hotel, I sent him out into the world to train.
Soren...”
"Lord City Lord." Soran held the cardboard box in his arms, pushed the door open with his buttocks and walked in backwards, "It's all here."
"I asked him to get all the city lord's cell phones back."
After finishing what he was saying, Zhang Mu took out a laptop from his inventory, placed it on the table, and connected it to his phone with a data cable.
Afterwards, as the two people watched like curious babies, they copied the video of Andre talking to himself to each of their mobile phones.
Because of the large number of mobile phones, this process took two hours.
After finishing everything, Zhang Mu stood up and said, "It's dark. The city lord has returned to the hotel after a meeting. Send it to them."
"The city lords are all in the hotel."
"Hmm? No meeting today?"
"Only the five city lords you beat went to the palace. The other city lords all asked for leave due to illness."
"Oh, they are all getting bolder." Zhang Mu sat back on the wooden chair and said cheerfully, "Aren't they afraid of being remembered by Andre?"
Soran put the scattered mobile phones on the table into the cardboard box and replied: "My fellow city lords were originally planning to go to the performance review meeting, but I followed your instructions.
After I mentioned Andre's plan while retrieving the phone, they seemed to have no intention of going to the meeting anymore."
"Knowing that the master wants to kill me, it would be strange.
Well... since they are all here, send them now."
"Yes."
Soran picked up the cardboard box full of cell phones and walked out of the house.
Zhang Mu put away his laptop and looked at Mi He: "Guess who will come first? The Second Prince's city lord, or Andre's?"
He stroked his beard and said, "The one closest to our room."
“Hahaha…that makes sense!”
Just as Mih expected.
About a minute later, the city lord who lived next door knocked on their door.
Mih opens the door.
The city lord clutched his phone tightly and asked hurriedly as soon as he came in: "Is it true?!"
"Didn't you see the video?"
"Looked."
"Then what are you asking?"
He was speechless for a moment, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's just... I just can't believe that the royal family wants to sacrifice all the city lords."
"Not all of them, but the city lords who have rebellious tendencies."
"But, isn't that all?"
This time Zhang Mu was stunned: "What did you do?"
He rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Everyone... everyone has expanded the legion privately."
The facts are indeed as he said, but not all city lords want to be independent.
At that time, news spread that the king was seriously ill, and the city lord with evil intentions began to recruit more soldiers.
