Chapter 50: Causing a Commotion in the Imperial Court

  "Your Majesty, the evil Duke has slaughtered foreign envoys, insulted the princes of five nations, and extorted money. The evidence is conclusive, it's a capital offense! Please pass judgment, Your Majesty!"

  The right prime minister's face turned red with rage and directly pointed at Li Xie!

  What happened at the Wang Dynasty Hotel was no longer a secret in the Imperial City, and it had already spread. The Right Prime Minister naturally also knew about this matter, and he also knew that Mercedes VII did not intend to pursue it!

  He chose to inform Li Xie at this time, seemingly with ulterior motives.

  Li Ye sat down on the chair with a pleased expression, but before his butt had even warmed up, he was slapped in the face. He felt extremely displeased! Before Mercedes VII could speak, he pointed at Right General Evan Hayes and scolded: "Old man, what did you say? Did I offend you? You're accusing me as soon as you arrive! Get out of my sight! Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"

  Li Xie was furious beyond control, and on his first day in court, someone wanted him dead; did he still need to be polite?

  Of course, he dares to be so rude because he has absolute confidence!

  Because Zinedine was standing right next to him!

  This is Li Xie's condition for attending court - let Zainan follow by his side!

  Li Xie himself knew that his treatment of the princes was not entirely proper, and he would likely incur their resentment. Someone might even jump out and kill him on the road. So, he had to let Zeenath follow him! And when he went to court, he also thought that the princes might take the opportunity to accuse him, what if the five countries put pressure on Mercedes VII, would she punish him?

  Although Li Xie thought the princes wouldn't dare to report him, he also suspected that Mercedes VII would not do anything to him. But what if? What if the princes did report him and Mercedes VII suddenly wanted to sentence Li Xie to death, how would he handle it?

  Li Xie currently has no sense of belonging to the Tudor dynasty, and is even less interested in the so-called emperor who wants you dead and still has to thank him. Mercedes VII wants Li Xie to die, Li Xie cannot not resist!

  But Li Xie only had that little bit of strength that he couldn't bring out, and if someone really wanted to kill him in the imperial court, he would have to let them do it!

  So, he must have Zayn Nard with him when going to court. Once something unexpected happens, this 9th-level giant dragon will be a protective sword!

  But Li Xie did not expect that the princes would not report, and the court had just begun when the Right Prime Minister jumped out to ask the Emperor for his death penalty! Mercedes Seventh Li Xie wanted to resist, let alone a Right Prime Minister?

  So Li Ye was angry and didn't dare to suspect him, he directly ordered Zayn Nadir to kill the Right Chancellor! The Right Chancellor wanted him dead, but still treated him with courtesy? Isn't this brain damage?

  Rushing to Li's side, Xie sneered coldly: "Your words are coarse and rude, clamoring in the imperial court, threatening a high-ranking official of the royal family is also a capital offense!"

  "Hum! This guy wants to put me in a desperate situation!"

  Li Xie was furious and turned to smile, looking at the princes: "You princes, I ask you, have I ever threatened or intimidated you? Have I ever extorted money from you? Have I ever insulted you? Have I ever killed anyone of you? Speak up, if one of you says no, I might be dead, and you will never see me again!"

  Li Ye's death was extremely heavy-handed, and his intention was so obvious. They dared to speak recklessly, and they would all be killed!

  Several princes looked at Li Xie's sinister expression, then glanced at Zeennard standing beside him with a blank face, and touched by Zeennard's icy gaze, they all shuddered!

  In the Wang Chao Hotel, Duke Ye said to kill someone, and then killed them. Who can guarantee that Duke Ye wouldn't dare to kill someone in the imperial court? Moreover, from start to finish, the Tudor Emperor didn't make any statement, simply letting things develop on their own!

  If the evil duke really rises up and kills people, the princes will all be hanged, what else can they control?

  "No, no, the Duke of Evi was very hospitable and showed us not a hint of disrespect. He didn't harm any of us at all. The two people who died were killed in an accident, yes, they fell down the stairs because it was broken." Prince Redi hastily explained.

  The right eyebrow wrinkled, with both hands clasped in a fist: "Prince Ge Rite, your attendants, one beheaded and the other crushed to pieces, how can such a trivial staircase cause this? Please, Your Highness, speak clearly, I dare say that our emperor will take charge for you!"

  Li Xie's two index fingers on his hands extended a foot, and the two sharp fingernails rubbed against each other, making a "sizzling" sound: "Right, dare to speak, I like people who are bold, especially those who have the guts to dig out their own gallbladder!"

  Gerd's prince mouth twitched, how dare he say such an obvious threat? He hastily bowed to Mercedes VII: "It's really a crash, just a bit too heavy."

  "Hahaha......" Li Xie burst out laughing: "Everyone has heard, the parties involved, these princes, all say they have nothing to do with me, so there's no such thing as insulting foreign princes, slaughtering envoys and other capital crimes."

  As he spoke, Li Xie put away his smile, the right corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a small white canine tooth. He looked at the Right Minister and said in an icy, sarcastic tone: "My dear Right Minister, you're just a Marquis, aren't you? I'm a Duke, it seems! You're only the Right Minister of the imperial court, whereas I am the Lord of Three Cities, it seems! You stand there, while I have a seat! My status is higher than yours! Isn't that right?"

  Without waiting for him to respond, Li Xie continued: "You use a fabricated crime to ask His Majesty to sentence me to death. Doesn't that count as threatening me? Threatening someone who is higher than you in status and position, isn't that threatening the high-ranking officials of the imperial court? Since you say threatening the high-ranking officials of the imperial court is a capital offense, haven't you committed a capital offense?"

  "Your Majesty!" Li Xie stood up, turned around and made a fist: "That old man has committed a capital offense, please grant him a death sentence! There's no need for Your Majesty to bother with it personally, let me take care of this trivial matter of cleaning up the trash! Ze En, kill him!"

  Li Ye sang a solo opera, directly giving the right prime minister a death sentence, without waiting for Mercedes VII to give an order, he directly gave the kill order!

  And he was not pretending! But gave a real order, let Zain kill the Right Prime Minister right here, on the court!

  Some people say that when honest people act foolishly, it's the most terrifying thing, because they often don't consider the consequences and dare to do anything!

  Li Xie may not be a straightforward person, but he has this kind of stubbornness. Whoever bullies him will definitely fight back to the death, no matter how much more hurt he gets! And whoever wants to kill him will also be killed by him without hesitation, even if it means his own death!

  What a silly temper!

  And such a silly temper, because of Zayn's presence on the side, it has been constantly sublimated and transformed into Li Xiang's ruthless momentum!

  Someone wants him dead, he doesn't need to struggle himself, there are subordinates who can be ordered around! However, the way of not considering consequences is the same!

  The Left Prime Minister wants him dead, so he killed the Right Prime Minister! Who cares about being in court, who cares about how much trouble it will bring! Those are things to be said later, let's talk about them later!

  Zainnarde accepted Li Xie's jewelry, and now he is even more obedient to Li Xie. He is even more unscrupulous than Li Xie! In the eyes of the nine-tiered giant dragon, what imperial court, what high officials, are all nonsense, aren't they just lowly humans? Killing them is just killing them!

  Then Li Xie gave an order and he immediately took action!

  Transformed into a black specter-like figure, charging forward with a burst of energy that spills out in all directions!

  No one expected Li Xie to order the killing! Even more unexpected, he really dared to take action! On the court, one by one, they were shocked! For the first time in the history of the Tudor dynasty, a fight broke out on the court, and it happened like this!

  However, Li Xie wouldn't care about that much, and Zaynarde wouldn't either. He simply threw a straightforward punch, directly targeting the right temple of his opponent, with extreme speed and unmatched force. The right eye was about to fly off, just like the attendant of King Ge Rite!

  But then, with a look of surprise on his face, his eyes turned cold as ice and frost, and he didn't seem to be panicked at all. He raised his right hand, forming a sword-like shape with his fingers, and rotated his wrist. As he muttered some words under his breath, a dark green mist appeared between his two fingers, instantly taking the shape of a dark green thorny vine. The vine twisted in a spiral motion towards Zayn Na'rd, wrapping around his arm in an instant. The black, hook-like thorns on the vine were about to pierce into Zayn Na'rd's skin!

  Zayn's eyes still had a cold glint, but the corners of his mouth had a scornful smile. His fist clenched with force, and the muscles on his arm tensed up even more. Golden fighting energy swirled around his arm, and the thorny vines were shaken off by the energy in an instant, dispersing into smoke. Meanwhile, Zayn's fist didn't lose any momentum!

  The right minister's face turned pale with fright, and just as the fist was about to reach his body, he hastily crossed both hands: "Vine Shield!"

  Its body emitted a dark green gas that dispersed and transformed into vines that entwined each other, weaving together to form a wooden shield with a diameter of one meter, attempting to use it to defend against Zayn's punch!

  Bang!

  The shield formed by the wisteria vines was instantly shattered into pieces, but it reduced Zainnrad's punching power. His right fist didn't land on his head, instead, his entire body flew out and left a trail of bright red in mid-air!

  Everything happened too quickly, until the Right Chancellor flew out, that everyone deeply realized that the Evil Duke not only dared to take action, but he really wanted to kill the Right Chancellor!

  "How dare you!"

  Marquis Panson let out a loud roar, his aura fully unleashed, and saw that his entire body was surrounded by golden aura, actually releasing his aura externally, the standard of a 10th-tier Sword Saint!

  "Hungry Leopard Strike!"

  Marquis Panson charged at Zaynarde, his golden light-wrapped body transformed into a golden leopard, baring its fangs and biting at Zaynarde!

  Zayn Nad felt danger and immediately gave up chasing after the Right Minister. He turned around and threw a punch, his fist shining with golden light!

  "Boom!"

  Two fists collided, shaking with a burst of energy that blew in all directions!

  Zayn Nad was punched by Marquis Panson, retreating five steps in a row. The black clothes on his upper body were shattered into pieces, revealing steel-like muscles and black thorn tattoos all over his upper body!

  Marquis Pan was also not at ease, similarly shocked and retreated five steps, and was supported by his general to stop retreating!

  Zainnarde's strength is stronger than the tenth-order Sword Saint, but it has been transformed into a human form, and its strength has decreased. Even so, the distance between the two men retreating, the high and low have already been decided!

  "Halt, evil duke, let your followers retreat."

  Mercedes VII finally spoke up, otherwise these two would have really fought and this main hall of the palace would not have been preserved!

  "Zain, come back." Mercedes VII's face still needs to be given.

  Zayn Nadir cast a bloodthirsty glance at Pan Sen, then walked slowly to Li Xie's side.

  Marquis Panshen snorted, glanced around with his eyes, and several people beside him quickly ran over to help the Right Minister back. Although the Right Minister was injured, it seemed that only his nasal bridge had collapsed, and he hadn't suffered much harm. At least his consciousness was clear, but his face... was gloomy enough to scare people!
