Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2610: Uncertain Fortune and Disaster
A few days later.

Seven days had passed since the old emperor's body was laid to rest. Under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites, a simple coronation ceremony was held.

In fact, this is against the rules.

However, considering the current chaotic situation, it is necessary to inform the ministers as soon as possible who the new emperor will be.

The formal coronation ceremony will be held after everything is settled.

At this simple coronation ceremony, the third prince was full of pride. He put on the imperial robe and turned around to ascend the throne.

All of a sudden, all the ministers gathered together.

They knelt in the hall and saluted him one by one.

Although many important officials were reluctant, they still followed the crowd and bowed down.

At this time, when the third prince took the throne, he asked the chief eunuch to announce the decree.

"..."

"Confer the title of Prince of Virtue on the eldest brother, and Prince of Loyalty on the second brother."

He first gave the two royal brothers the title of king, and they were both one-character kings, which seemed to sound good.

But everyone knew that this was just the beginning, and later on, his two elder brothers would plot to kill him.

Don't forget the experiences of previous dynasties.

Then the third prince began to promote a large number of people to higher positions.

Almost everyone got a share, which made everyone feel a little more at ease.

Some people also felt that they could change their allegiance in time and join the Third Prince.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter who you rely on, and it doesn’t matter who you serve as a dog.

In the feudal era, the loyalty rate was very low, less than one percent.

These people naturally knew that once the Third Prince took the throne, a new purge would begin.

How can you change your business so cheaply? It's impossible.

Now is the time to test everyone's ability to use connections.

But they don’t know that the world is changing.

The so-called relationship soon became useless.

Just as all the ministers were congratulating the new emperor, a man in black suddenly walked in from the entrance of the hall.

The man in black walked silently, and the guards saw him first.

At this time, the Minister of Rites, who was presiding over the ceremony, was facing the entrance of the hall and therefore saw the man in black directly.

"Who dares to break into the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

"Do you know that if you disrupt the coronation ceremony, your entire clan will be killed?"

The coronation ceremony always has a fixed process.

Who appears and when is fixed.

It is absolutely impossible for an inexplicable person to appear at this ceremony.

Then when the man came closer, everyone was horrified to find that this man in black had no face at all!
He didn't wear any mask, but it was as if there was always a black cloth covering his face.

In fact, there was nothing on his face, just a black mass.

I can't see the nose or eyebrows clearly.

Everyone looked at it and was immediately surprised.

"Who is this person and why is he so dark?"

"Could it be that these are Kunlun slaves sent as tribute from some other place?"

"Kunlun slave? Where is the Han general? Take him away immediately!"

Then two big generals, holding ceremonial hammers, stepped forward.

However, before they could get in front of each other, everyone saw the man in black took two steps forward and grabbed the two men's throats with lightning speed.

The next moment, the two guards rolled on the ground, covering their broken throats.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Soon his face turned blue and he suffocated to death in agony.

Then everyone was shocked.

"There are assassins!"

"Come and protect the emperor!"

"There is an assassin, where are the guards?"

Soon, the guards responsible for guarding the hall gathered from the palace.

At one moment, under the command of several commanders, they drew their bows and arrows and immediately shot at the man in black.

It is impossible for them to have arrows under normal circumstances, but now it is a special and tense situation, so the bows are drawn and the arrows are on the body.

However, facing the rain of arrows, the man in black immediately swayed left and right, dodging the arrows one after another.

Everyone was stunned.

However, a hail of arrows followed.

This time an arrow finally hit the man in black.

Before anyone could shout out in joy, someone discovered that the arrow had actually passed directly through the man in black!

It's like shooting at a shadow.

This is simply unbelievable.

"How is this possible? Why did it go through?"

Everyone was very frightened.

Only the eldest prince who had just been named "King of De" was very happy.

This ghost was indeed very powerful, and it was worth it that he secretly killed a hundred people to sacrifice to it.

Of course, the killings were still done in underground caves, and the victims were still homeless people, beggars, and the elderly, weak, and disabled in nursing homes...

He suppressed the joy in his heart.

[Okay, that's good, go kill him quickly! ]

[The target is the new emperor! ]

As if he had heard the eldest prince's thoughts, the man in black quickened his pace.

He began to walk towards the third prince who was sitting on the throne.

At this time, the third prince was already frightened to the point of being at a loss.

He quickly used the charcoal under his robe to paint on a new drawing.

The painting shows that the man in black will be beaten to death by several palace masters.

Wen Rensheng naturally knew that this man in black came from the resentment of the eldest prince.

And the eldest prince, who used to be a high and mighty prince with everyone trying to curry favor with him and was the first in line to the throne, has fallen to the point where he can only be a prince in name only.

Soon the eldest prince will also taste the feeling of being bullied.

A local seventh-rank county magistrate could use the emperor's decree to oppress him.

It's entirely possible.

Who has the upper hand between the vassal kings and the local authorities depends on the emperor's thoughts.

If the emperor wants a good reputation, a reputation for royal harmony, he will suppress local bureaucrats.

On the contrary, if the emperor disliked a certain prince, local officials would deduct money in various ways, causing people in the prince's family to starve to death.

If the princes dared not to give in, they would be accused of treason.

By then, there would be no way to survive.

Therefore, when Zhu Di rebelled, he fully demonstrated his forced side to the royal family, which is why there were so many neutral people.

Now, facing the threat from the man in black, the third prince has quickly stepped down from the throne.

He wanted to leave the hall quickly, but he was too fat and had difficulty walking.

Several guards helped him hide behind.

Fortunately, the man in black walked slowly.

But every move will kill one person.

The morale of those guards is also high.

I can actually hold on.

Otherwise, in the middle and late period of the dynasty, even the palace guards would not be very active when facing assassins and would hide whenever possible.

That’s what the Qing Dynasty was like.

And now there are dozens of eunuchs, one after another, stepping forward to stop the man in black.

However, the man in black killed one person with every step he took.

At first, he quickened his pace a little and moved towards the emperor.

But as everyone panicked and the emperor fled, his speed slowed down again.

He killed one person with every step he took, and kept chasing the emperor slowly like this.

Everyone was shocked, terrified and angry.

"This is, this is a monster!"

A minister couldn't help but speak.

The ministers all hid away.

There was a military general who relied on the inner armor he was wearing.

Because you are not allowed to hold a sword during the ceremony.

He chose to go forward and fight the man in black with his bare hands.

However, he fought with his bare hands for less than a move before the opponent leaned into his arms and grabbed him, tearing him open. A well-known young general fell in such a way.

And at this time.

The third prince had already fled to the back of the palace and was about to escape through the back door.

The eldest prince hid in the corner and watched the man in black killing everyone.

He couldn't help laughing in his heart.

[Very good, very good, kill him quickly! ]

[If I can't get it, no one else can get it! ]

At this time, no one dared to resist.

After all, the other party is impossible to kill.

How high could the morale of soldiers be in the feudal era?
When the bravest group died first, the seemingly majestic and sacred ceremony became vulnerable.

The man in black continued to kill the third prince.

The third prince continued to run.

For the first time in his life, he hated himself. Why was he so fat?

It was obvious that the man in black was walking very slowly.

The speed is roughly three steps per second, and one meter per step.

This can be said to be very slow.

After all, it is no problem for a normal person to run 20 meters in less than seconds.

That's a speed of 5 meters per second.

But the problem with the third prince is that he can't even walk 1 meters in 3 second.

Walking basically relies on support and moving.

Fortunately, several loyal eunuchs supported him, pushed him, and dragged him, and finally he left the palace.

Then the third prince opened a secret passage on the wall of a side hall and tried to escape.

However, the man in black also entered the secret passage.

The walls couldn't stop him.

At this time, the third prince drew a new picture as he walked.

The content of the new painting is a bolt of lightning coming down from the sky and directly killing the man in black.

However, the result was that thunder did strike from the sky.

However, it hit nothing, and only cracked their hall.

Then the man in black finally came in front of the third prince.

Just as the man in black was about to reach out his hand, the third prince suddenly said:

"Wait, don't kill me, I'll give you everything you need."

At this time, the man in black heard this, he smiled slightly, and then said:
"Yes, as long as you bring me 10,000 people as sacrifice, I will spare your life."

Ten thousand people?

The third prince was shocked, this is too cheap!

He thought it would be really difficult to kill a million people.

Even for an emperor, it would be difficult to kill millions of people in times of peace.

It requires careful planning, and border affairs usually have to be handled in border areas.

With only 10,000 people, they only need to suppress one bandit.

So he decisively agreed: "Okay, I can sacrifice 10,000 people for you."

Hearing this, the man in black disappeared before his eyes.

Wen Rensheng was also speechless when he saw this.

My goodness, this so-called weirdness is also misleading.

At this time, the eldest prince was still happily waiting for the death of the new emperor, and he quickly ascended the throne according to the order.

After all, in his heart, he is the emperor.

When the current emperor dies, it will naturally be his.

However, in the afternoon, the emperor summoned his ministers again and the princes and nobles came to court.

The eldest prince was immediately furious. He actually failed?

How can this be?

According to the scene we saw before, the man in black killed the emperor like a person killing a chicken!
Afterwards, he returned home.

Started to curse.

"Damn it, I was cheated!"

Soon, the man in black appeared in his shadow.

The eldest prince glared at him:

"Why, why didn't you complete my task!"

"Sorry, the other party offered a higher price than you."

"Damn it, you monster can't do this. You have to be trustworthy as a human being."

"Haha, since you know I'm a monster, what credibility do you have?" the man in black taunted, "Besides, you haven't paid me yet."

"Nonsense, I have clearly killed hundreds of people as sacrifices for you!" said the eldest prince angrily.

"Hahaha, I never said a hundred people would be enough." The man in black laughed.

"I'm weird, and it's normal for me to go back on my word, right?"

The eldest prince looked at the faceless face of the man in black. That smile was like the skin crawling, and he suddenly became afraid.

He didn't expect that after all his hard work, he still failed in the end.

"You, what do you want?"

"Nothing. Next time you want to command me, prepare more sacrifices." After the man in black said this, he left.

This made the eldest prince feel relieved.

Fortunately, the other party did not kill him.

Afterwards, the eldest prince quickly ordered people to find the sorcerers, alchemists, Taoist priests and monks...

And at this time.

The third prince was also worried.

He originally thought that by using plug-ins, he could make the world more and more magical.

He can also become more and more powerful from it.

The result was that they shot themselves in the foot.

The world is beginning to be filled with demons, but what emerges is weirdness.

It's the kind of demonic world that most people hate the most.

In other worlds with demons, smart people and geniuses can gain extraordinary powers, live longer, and enable individuals to break the upper limits of the world without demons.

In this strange world, smart and genius people die faster.

Because they can easily find strange places.

Afterwards, the third prince found a way. In the name of suppressing bandits, he massacred several mountain strongholds and several nearby villages and gathered 10,000 people for the sacrifice.

Finally the man in black was satisfied and stopped chasing him.

However, in the following months, demons ran rampant.

The third prince was in a terrible state.

Ministers wrote letters one after another.

Something strange happened here today, and something strange happened there tomorrow.

He originally wanted to quickly eliminate the troops and forces under the command of the eldest prince and the second prince.

As a result, he now has no time to clean up.

He simply doesn't have the energy or the mind to do so.

Moreover, in the seemingly magnificent palace, there are also wronged ghosts and strange things appearing everywhere.

It caused him to have trouble sleeping day and night.

I had no choice but to temporarily leave the palace and return to my original residence before I could sleep well.

He finally understood now that for ordinary people, it was a good thing to have no weirdness.

Being weird is actually a bad thing.

He never imagined that after working so hard for so long, he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

If he had not ascended the throne through painting, he could have been a wealthy prince who lived a hundred years.

No matter which prince comes to power, he will not target his disabled brother.

It would not cause so many messy things.

Now he feels uneasy when he sleeps every day and feels uneasy all the time.

And on this day, a group of monsters came to find him in the middle of the night.

"What are you doing here? I am the emperor, don't come over!" The third prince shrank into bed.

"We are the people who were drowned in the flood a few years ago." The leading monster said, floating outside his quilt.

The third prince did not call for help in vain, because he knew that outsiders could not hear him.

This is the monster's ability, isolating sound, a basic operation.
