When the birthday feast began, Ge Ya was the first to present her gift, and the four servants carried it up to a large wardrobe. Seeing this, the surrounding people were stunned. They were all confused. Even the old king, who was sitting on the throne, was confused.

?? Zhuang Li clapped her hands and the music started.

?? Zhuang Li was the one who suggested the gift to Ge Ya, so she naturally knew about it. Lowering her head, she snickered to herself, "Ge Ya, this damned girl. Sure enough, it was she who did that naughty thing." Ge Ya was also extremely proud of everyone's confused expressions. Along with the sound of music, the wardrobe's door suddenly opened. A beautiful young girl dressed in purple walked out. She came out gracefully and danced about like a lotus. Her body was as soft as a water snake and for a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. The young girl was very pretty, just like a mysterious purple lotus.

The girl walked out and changed her clothes from head to toe. The people around her exclaimed in admiration, this was too amazing, the moment they entered the cabinet, they didn't even have enough time to take off their clothes, how could they change their clothes. Then, the girl went back into the cabinet, and after a second, she came out and changed her clothes again. At this point, many of the guests couldn't sit still any longer. They all stood up, wanting to clearly see what had happened.

The young girl had neat makeup and was wearing a smile without any flaws, which made people clap and cheer for her.

After the dance, Ge Ya went up to the young girl to thank her for the reward. Even the old king couldn't help but ask what was going on.

Ge Ya smiled mysteriously and opened the door with the young girl.

It turned out that there was another girl in the cabinet who looked exactly the same as the girl from before. She was dressed differently. It was precisely the two sisters, Moon and Nanny.

The two twins had exquisite appearances and had the same makeup. It was impossible to tell the difference at all, which made everyone click their tongues in surprise.

The king was overjoyed, he never thought that there would be such an outstanding pair of sisters within the Fanbo City.

When he sat down, he saw that the Prince of Mongolia was indeed a lot taller than the people around him. He didn't expect that when he stood up, he was twice as tall as the people around him, and his muscular body was as intimidating as an iron bucket giant. However, his small and terrifying head was still looking around for his translator. He looked kind of cute.

Zhuang Li was inwardly elated. Her mind was simple and her limbs were well-developed. This description was simply tailor-made for him.

He bowed to the king. His think tank, Fat Sassa Gan, began to introduce this as the prince performing his best performance for King of West Cold.

The big fool listened to Fat Sassafras and picked up a common knife. He held both ends of the knife with both hands and exerted force with one hand. The blade split in two.

The guests cheered, and then he turned to look at the stone block at the foot of the steps. He ordered someone to carry the stone block into the hall.

The stone block wasn't big, but it was solid. The four soldiers then managed to lift it and move it to the main hall. After the soldier retreated, the big man squatted down and took two deep breaths, then he wrapped an arm around the stone block and stood up to lift it up. The surrounding people were all amazed. He held the stone block and walked around it, as if he was sure that someone had witnessed his innate divine strength before he put it down. When the block fell on the ground, it produced a dull sound, as if a crack had instantly appeared on the floor. The crowd was even more enthusiastic and began to praise him.

At this time, a report came in that Eldest Prince had returned to the city and was about to arrive at the palace.

It had been a long time since he had seen his son. Although he had some doubts regarding why the king would appear in the Great Wei Country, he was still very happy in his heart. They waited for him to come and meet them, but Eldest Prince still didn't show up even when the banquet was almost over.

Ge Ya had been drinking too much during the feast, and her lover, who was watching from outside the hall, revealed an infatuated smile. The birthday feast was also coming to an end, and all that came after were fireworks and performance, so she called over Qing You, hoping to send Ge Ya back to King Xiao's Palace first, in case something bad happened to her.

The king and his guests also gradually moved out of the hall, waiting for the fireworks to begin.

She and Qing You supported Ge Ya in the middle, passing through the guests. While no one was paying attention to them, they secretly prepared a horse and stealthily went back to King Xiao's Palace. Just as he reached the door, he saw a green flame rise into the air. Zhuang Li was wondering if the fireworks party had already begun.

Suddenly, he saw the sky filled with rockets flying towards the palace. Many of them landed on the servants' bodies and ignited into a ball of fire. Those who were struck by the rockets struggled a few times before turning into a ball of fire and rolling on the ground.

Zhuang Li pulled Qing You and Ge Ya back and hid behind a stone pillar. In the blink of an eye, the entire area outside the hall was a mess.

What happened?

Following that, a wave of mocking voices could be heard as dozens of assassins with sabers charged out from the shadows towards the main hall. The first one to react was Xi Cuo. He rushed out of the main hall, dressed in formal attire, to attend the banquet. He didn't even bring his sabre, he actually took a sabre from the assassin's hand and hacked the assassin to death.

"Protect the king!"

Xi Cuo shouted, and the palace guards he controlled rushed out. The king was escorted back into the hall, stumbling and in a state of chaos.

Those palace guards weren't useless. Within an hour, all of the assassins that had rushed out had been subdued. Once they saw that there was no hope for them, they would all stop on their own, not leaving a single one alive.

Just when everyone was still in shock and not knowing what was going on, someone rushed out of the hall with blood all over his body. The person who came down from the horse was Third Prince. With a grave expression and fear, he pushed aside the servant who had come to support him and rushed up the hall. Everyone was shocked.

"father, father. "Big brother, we forced you to palace."

No one believed what he said, and the old king collapsed into a chair. Ge Ya was also frightened to the point that she seemed to have woken up from her stupor.

Third Prince had always been on good terms with Eldest Prince. As long as he followed Eldest Prince's lead, he would always follow Eldest Prince's lead in his campaign to the north. The credibility of what he said was indeed very high.

"What the hell is going on!?" the king asked, catching his breath.

Third Prince was covered in blood. Zhuang Li sent Qing You to find a doctor and saw that he could not hold on for much longer.

He was quickly placed on a chair, and when the doctor arrived, he quickly cut his clothes to reveal the scars all over his body.

Third Prince said intermittently, "father, big brother wants to seize the throne. Half a month ago, when I left Mongolia to raise his Cloud Peak Cavalry, he locked me up after I found him. It was only on account of my brotherly relationship that he didn't kill me. Right now, he was at the entrance of the city, leading ten thousand Cloud Peak Knights with him in an attempt to force father to give up his position. The assassin just now was his first chess piece. "

The old king trembled in anger. Xi Cuo quickly kneeled down and said that he would immediately bring the two thousand guards to protect the safety of the people inside the city.

Zhuang Li sighed secretly. How could two thousand soldiers who were used to staying in the city be a match for Eldest Prince's Cloud Peak Cavalry that lived in poverty for ten thousand years on the border?

At this moment, Third Prince spoke again …

Don't worry father, there are a lot of people among the Cloud Peak Knights who aren't willing to follow Big Bro. They are all deputy generals who have followed me before, and if I find a suitable opportunity to inform them, they will definitely cooperate with Second Brother and become Big Bro within the Cloud Peak Cavalry.

"?"

Zhuang Li looked at Xi Cuo helping Third Prince out, and felt that this matter wasn't that simple. She held Xi Cuo back, wanting him to be on guard, not knowing if he understood what she meant. She replied Zhuang Li with a smile, "Don't worry."

"?"

Everyone was waiting in the main hall. All night long, the outside of the city was lit up by flames. The border of the city was a mess, and it was only at dawn that the ruckus gradually quietened down.

"?"

Xi Cuo knelt in the hall and reported, "Brother Huang Ge and the soldiers from the city have joined forces to annihilate the rebel army. Eldest Prince died in the chaos."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and some even cheered. Ge Ya calmed down a little, but felt sad. After all, she was her big brother. Although she hated him, she would never have thought that he would do such a thing.

The king seemed to have aged ten years in one night, and no joy could be seen on his face. However, his face was solemn as he announced the great reward to the defending army and Third Prince.

Zhuang Li and Ge Ya headed towards the King Xiao's Palace. Xi Cuo was going to escort them back, but when Zhuang Li saw that his body was covered in blood and mud, and his nerves were still in a broken state on the battlefield, she wanted him to go back and rest. In the end, she still let him take care of her.

The throne belonged to him, so he was in no hurry to force the King to abdicate. He went to the Great Yu Country to transfer troops, and coincidentally, he met with the envoys of the Great Yu Country. He even had the mood to help the envoys escape from danger?

Even if he was kind-hearted and wanted to save someone, he could call himself someone else. Why did he have to report that he was Eldest Prince's Cloud Knight?

Finally, Eldest Prince was known to be unparalleled in terms of viciousness. He was also a prodigy in war, even the king was proud of him more than once. How could he not know that his rebel army had many hidden dangers?

Since he had captured Third Prince, with his style of doing things, how could he give Third Prince a chance to escape and even incite the rebel army to fight back? This was a taboo meeting for soldiers. If Zhuang Li said so, then it would be more likely for him to just kill Third Prince.

In the end, he actually died outside the city. It could be said that he died with no proof.

Xi Cuo was looking after the Acropolis City and the entire palace was looking after his own safety. There must have been something missing …

What is it...
