#326 - Clear the court

After entering the city, the group went straight to Xue Beng's residence. Seeing Davis return, Xue Beng hurriedly ran over, his face beaming with a smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Your Highness Prince Davis, you're finally back!"

"Haha, Prince Xue Beng, long time no see." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Davis got down to business. "Now, Tiandou City is surrounded like an iron bucket. Prince Xue Beng, do you know what happened in the city?"

Hearing this, Xue Beng frowned, recalling the recent events, and finally shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Davis, but in my memory, nothing special has happened in Tiandou City recently."

Davis nodded slightly, muttering to himself, "It seems Xue Qinghe wants to control the court and prepare to ascend the throne and become emperor..."

As he spoke, he told them about the situation of the city gate guards of Tiandou City. Hearing this, Xue Beng's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a panic, "Your Highness Prince Davis, what do you think we should do now?"

"Since that's the case, then we should remain calm and adapt to the situation. Like this, you first take Leng Leng and Chairman Yang to Emperor Xue Ye's palace to treat Emperor Xue Ye. As long as he can wake up, Prince Xue Beng, you will naturally be safe and sound!"

"Okay, I understand!" Xue Beng nodded hurriedly, walked to Ye Leng Leng and Chairman Yang Wudi, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Student Leng Leng, Chairman Yang, please come with me!"

"Okay."

Ye Leng Leng nodded heavily, following Xue Beng to Emperor Xue Ye's palace. Watching the backs of the three leaving, Davis's expression was not good, and he muttered, "Although I believe that with Chairman Yang's and Leng Leng's abilities, they will definitely be able to cure Emperor Xue Ye's illness, I'm afraid Xue Qinghe won't let them see Emperor Xue Ye..."

Sure enough, as Davis had expected, in less than half an hour, the three of Xue Beng returned dejectedly, Xue Beng's face still bearing expressions of resentment, fear, and unwillingness.

Seeing this, Davis couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Prince Xue Beng, what happened? Why are you back so soon? Could it be that you didn't see Emperor Xue Ye?"

"Alas!" Hearing this, Xue Beng couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, saying miserably, "Your Highness Prince Davis is indeed as wise as a god..."

It turned out that Emperor Xue Ye's palace had long been sealed off by Xue Qinghe, and without his order, no one could meet Emperor Xue Ye, not even Xue Beng, saying it was to protect Emperor Xue Ye's safety.

Xue Beng wanted to force his way into the palace, but at this time, four Tiandou Empire generals stood in front of them, arrogantly issuing a final warning to Xue Beng, saying that if they didn't get lost, they would take action!

The strength of the four generals was second only to Marshal Ge Long, all of them Soul Douluos above level eighty, with extremely strong strength.

Seeing that the other party was powerful, Xue Beng didn't dare to be tough anymore, so he had to retreat and run to Xue Qinghe's Crown Prince's residence, asking him to take Ye Leng Leng and Yang Wudi into the palace to treat his father.

However, his guards claimed that Xue Qinghe had caught a cold and would not see anyone these days.

Anyone with eyes could see that Xue Qinghe was deliberately avoiding Xue Beng. No matter how Xue Beng shouted, Xue Qinghe didn't even show a shadow.

Therefore, he could only return dejectedly, asking Davis if there were any other solutions.

After listening, Davis, Dugu Bo, and Prince Xue Xing, who was on the side, all had very ugly expressions.

Davis frowned. He was not surprised. After seeing the strict guards outside Tiandou City, he knew that Xue Qinghe would not let his plan succeed so easily.

"Your Highness Prince Davis, do you have any other solutions?" Prince Xue Xing asked urgently, his voice trembling. He and Xue Beng were now grasshoppers on the same rope.

If Xue Beng died, Xue Qinghe would never let him go. In this world with extraordinary power, it was too easy to make a person disappear.

And the only power he could rely on now was Davis. Although Dugu Bo was his old friend, he also obeyed Davis's orders.

At this time, Dugu Bo suddenly spoke, "Little friend, why don't I take Prince Xue Beng to force our way into Emperor Xue Ye's palace? Anyway, as long as Emperor Xue Ye wakes up, the situation will be reversed, won't it?"

"I'm afraid it won't work!" Prince Xue Xing shook his head helplessly, sighing weakly, "Since Xue Qinghe dared to seal off Big Brother's palace, he must have made complete preparations. It won't be easy to force our way in.

Besides, what kind of behavior is it to force our way into the emperor's palace? Once we do this, Xue Qinghe is very likely to directly announce to the citizens of Tiandou City that we have joined forces with the Star Luo Empire to plot a rebellion. In that case, even if we jump into the Yellow River, we won't be able to clear our name..."

"No! I think Senior Dugu's idea is very good! We will force our way into the palace and try to rescue Emperor Xue Ye!" Davis's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Prince Xue Xing.

"Prince Xue Xing, you immediately go and conscript your inspection army, as well as all the Soul Master forces you have in your hands. Tomorrow night, we will take advantage of the night to force our way into the palace, catching Xue Qinghe off guard!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Prince Xue Xing, but everyone present was surprised. Prince Xue Xing even widened his eyes and said, "Your Highness Prince Davis, are you serious? If we do this, once we are falsely accused of rebellion by Xue Qinghe, then we..."

"Haha, Your Highness Prince, what time is it now? Are you still concerned about this?" Davis couldn't help but say with a smile, then his eyes sharpened, and he said madly.

"If we fail, it's rebellion. If we succeed, it's clearing the emperor's side and killing treacherous officials, isn't it?"

"Now Xue Qinghe has sealed off the palace, clearly not wanting us to treat Emperor Xue Ye. Once Emperor Xue Ye dies, Xue Qinghe can inherit the throne smoothly. At that time, you will all have to die! And if we can take a step ahead of them, there is still a chance of success!

Moreover, you all know that on the way back to Tiandou City, we were attacked by the Spirit Hall's Majestic Lion Douluo. Obviously, Xue Qinghe has secretly reached an agreement with the Spirit Hall for the sake of the throne!

No matter what agreement they have reached, they will inevitably betray the interests of the Tiandou Empire. As princes and relatives of the Tiandou Empire, as sons and brothers of Emperor Xue Ye, can you allow such a treacherous official who betrays the interests of the empire to inherit the throne?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing were speechless. They looked at each other and saw a trace of determination in each other's eyes!

Davis continued, "Now that Emperor Xue Ye is unconscious, shouldn't you set an example and protect the interests of the Tiandou Empire?

Tomorrow will be a sleepless night, and what we do will surely be immortalized in history!"

These words completely ignited Xue Beng's blood, and he shouted, "Okay! Since rebellion still has a chance of survival, Your Highness Prince Davis, I'll follow you! Uncle, what about you?"

"Me too!" Prince Xue Xing nodded heavily, "Now we can only take a gamble, can't we?" (End of this chapter)
