The incident happened so suddenly that the wizard had no time to react.

Almost instantly, the poison on the needle began to take effect, and the root of his tongue, and even his entire throat and nasal cavity, swelled rapidly in a way that was visible to the naked eye, until they filled his entire respiratory tract.

asphyxia.

He tried his best but couldn't breathe a single breath of air.

His eyes were full of panic. He used his hands to hold his throat, but when that didn't work, he used his fingers to dig, trying to dig out a channel so that he could breathe freely.

He had long, sharp nails, which scratched his throat, leaving bloody marks.

Unfortunately, to no avail.

In just a few breaths, the wizard fell to the ground due to suffocation.

Yan Shiyan lowered his eyes and watched all this, seeing a living person become a cold corpse in the blink of an eye, his expression was calm and without any ripples.

There was no feeling of pity or nausea in my heart.

No more panic.

He watched all this calmly, thinking silently: I did it.

He finally got out of the shadow of his mother's tragic death and was no longer the child who broke out in cold sweats when he saw blood in the stable.

He is mature enough to face everything.

With a light "click" sound, Qing Bai climbed in through the rear window, bent down and felt the wizard's breath.

"He's dead, let's go!"

"it is good."

Yan Shiyan stood up and walked towards the back door with Qingbai.

Qingbai put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

Yan Shouzhuo heard it, left the door, and went to meet them in the agreed direction.

The confidant sent by Pabala hurried to the gate of the wizard's yard and asked the gatekeeper: "Where are the wizard and Miss Muk?"

"It's all in there."

The gatekeeper replied: "My Lord has ordered that we not disturb him."

The confidant stood up and looked inside, only to see that the courtyard was silent, with sunlight leaking through the branches and leaves, quietly sprinkling on the ground.

Thinking about the city lord's order and not caring about the possibility of offending the wizard, he strode inside.

He makes his living by looking at Pabala's face, not by relying on wizards.

"My Lord, Master Wizard, Miss Mook?"

As he walked, he shouted and muttered to himself.

no one?

Even if we want to listen to the revelation, there can't be no one there, right?

When he reached the door, he wrinkled his nose and smelled a hint of blood.

Not daring to delay any longer, he stepped into the room and was almost petrified when he saw it.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

At least, I can't be regarded as the murderer.

"Someone is coming!"

He stumbled out of the courtyard, grabbed the gatekeeper by the collar and lifted him up: "What are you all doing, huh?! The wizard is dead, are you all useless?!"

"what?"

Not only the gatekeeper, but also the dozen or so guards, servants, and slaves left outside by the wizard were all awakened and rushed into the house without caring about any rules.

Their masters were killed before their eyes, and they would all be punished.

The wizard is dead.

Dead as hell.

This news, along with panic, spread throughout the City Lord's Mansion in an instant.

By the time Pabala reacted and tried to cover it up, it was too late.

Who did it?

Who would dare to do this in Pabala's territory?

A guess lingers in people's minds, even though it has not been expressed out loud, it is still hard to get rid of - was it Pabala who did it?

He wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the other arm that the Regent relied on and become the only one in power.

It just makes perfect sense.

One of the conservative forces had just lost his life, and the way they looked at Pabala became more and more fearful.

Is he crazy?

Not only did he just kill a person, he even dared to kill a wizard?

A more terrifying speculation emerged in people's minds: Pabala was simply taking advantage of this wedding to eliminate all the forces that were against him.

This speculation is not without reason.

It was Yan Yuanan who deliberately spread it.

There were more than a hundred people present, all of them were either rich or noble.

If they were really wiped out in one go, Pabala could take over their wealth and power and become the richest man in all of Tubo.

Not to mention the Regent, he can even directly confront the royal court.

Self-proclaimed king.

How logical!

All of this was paved with Pabala's brutal past, and no one would doubt that he would really do such a thing.

Whether it is true or false, the most important thing is to save your own life.

As a result, an extremely funny scene appeared in the City Lord's Mansion.

The artists in the theater were performing hard, but the number of people in front of the theater was decreasing.

People find all kinds of reasons to leave the house.

The backstage of the theater gradually became chaotic.

They come here to make money, hoping to gain fame and fortune, not to lose their lives.

Several people lowered their voices and talked: "Where is Bater? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"When the princess left the table just now, he followed her out. I don't know if he succeeded or not."

Someone looked outside and said, "Let's go too! Go and meet him."

"Yes, no matter whether we can find Bartel or not, we can't stay here any longer. If Pabala looks for a scapegoat, both you and I will be in danger."

The Pabala they were talking about was in a state of panic.

"What did you say? The Muktans and their eldest sister and the princess are missing?!"

The subordinate didn't dare to look up at him and responded in a low voice.

"waste!"

Pabala kicked the man to the ground.

If he hadn't thought that this was the right time to use someone, he would have chopped him down with his sword.

"Go find it, go find it for me!"

He gave the order with bloodshot eyes: "I don't believe they can still fly out?!"

The subordinate didn't dare to say anything else and left in a hurry.

I'm afraid if I stay any longer, I might even lose my life.

Pabala had a bad temper, and no one dared to report to him when he heard that many people were rushing towards the door.

By the time he realized something was wrong, twenty or thirty people had already run away.

"Why are you running?!"

Pabala grabbed a man by the collar and asked viciously.

The man was shocked and immediately begged for mercy: "Sir, please don't kill me. I came here sincerely to congratulate you. Please don't kill me."

Seeing the begging face in front of him, Pabala became more and more furious. He asked someone to come over and find out what happened. He immediately became more and more vicious.

what did they say?

Was he using the wedding as bait to lure them into a trap?

The purpose is to kill all these people and inherit their wealth and power?

Why didn't he think of that?

What a brilliant idea.

In that case, you can’t blame him for being heartless!

He clearly invited them to his wedding with good intentions, but they imagined him to be a murderer.

Pabala's eyes turned red as he ordered: "Kill, kill them all!"

"No one can be left alive!"

"Catch those who ran away!"

"I'll take half of their wealth and women, and you two can split the remaining half equally!"

After a few orders, his men's eyes suddenly lit up.

Those who have been able to follow him until now are all as fierce as wolves and tigers.

These people are unarmed, and even if they have guards, they are few in number. Wouldn't it be as easy to kill them as cutting melons and vegetables?

At this moment, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Sir, there's a fire in Fengqi Tower!"
