Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Yin Pan'er clearly hadn't figured it out yet.

Xiao Ce then explained to Yin Pan'er, "You are a citizen of the Xiao Kingdom. Moreover, you now have the support of the Illuminati headquarters, your status is above that of the East and West presidents of the Illuminati, and you also control the most powerful Light Guards in the headquarters!"

"Some clever people will spot the opportunity: the inevitable integration of East Asia, and even Xiao Kingdom, with the West! Whoever understands the other side's words first will have the upper hand..."

Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words, as if she understood what he meant...

Morgana nodded and said, "That's right. In the past, each country had its own language system. Later, the Illuminati first established itself in the British Empire. After gaining a foothold in the British Empire, it began to promote the language of the British Empire. Later, the whole West used this language, which formed the Spanish language we know today."

"Because of this, after they tasted the benefits, those who were the first to open up and learn benefited. In fact, most of the local nobles didn't care much about who they were loyal to; they just wanted to gain huge profits..."

"Especially after the previous naval battles in East Asia, they discovered that East Asia was no longer what they thought it was—a place they had never been before, and therefore, it was bound to hold enormous profits... So, a large portion of them will discover these enormous profits..."

"So, they don't resist learning... but I learn entirely because of you, Mr. Ce. It's because of you that I developed such a strong interest in the place you came from; putting everything else aside, I'm particularly interested in your writing..."

After listening to Morgana's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right. If the whole world could still speak Xiao's language, it would truly be one of my dreams..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "I never expected that Xiao Yang would be the one to make your dream come true..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce looked at her with a surprised expression and then asked, "What do you mean?"

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, please look at the back of this book."

Xiao Ce turned the book over and saw several large characters.

Xiaoyang Academy

Xiao Ce said, both amused and exasperated, "Xiao Yang did all of this?"

Yin Pan'er looked at the book, then asked Xiao Ce, "Is Xiao Yang in the Roman Empire?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then nodded and said, "That's right, that's indeed the case. Xiao Yang is indeed in the Roman Empire... and that kid also knows about my dream..."

"Furthermore, I've also heard that Xiao Yang is doing quite well in the Roman Empire... he's definitely living a more comfortable life than me..."

Just then, Da Lei said, "That's right. Ever since Prince Xiao Yang was brought under our control and reformed, he's treated you like a god, meticulously recording your every move. He learns everything from you, saying that if he can even grasp a fraction of your skills, he'll be able to do whatever he wants... Now it seems he really has indeed learned a fraction of it..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right. I didn't expect that someone like him would survive the beginning. I always thought he wouldn't live past the start, but I didn't expect him to have survived until now..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, even if we don't include myself, isn't that not entirely true? In the beginning, I wanted to kill you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have already become a speck of dust..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Actually, I understand you... The me of the past, with that personality, if I had become emperor, would indeed have been a scourge to the country. Let alone surviving the later invasion of Fusang, I wouldn't have been able to resist even the Turks..."

"Then the later Great Xiao Kingdom probably ended up like those other countries..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "So, it's all thanks to you for coming!"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Fate is truly a very mysterious thing."

Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er both spoke the Xiao language, which Morgana could understand to some extent.

However, when the two of them started saying this one after another, Morgana was completely dumbfounded and couldn't understand it.

Just then, Morgana, though unable to hear clearly, noticed that it was getting late.

Without lingering for further pleasantries, she directly addressed Xiao Ce, saying, "Mr. Ce, it's getting late. You should go and rest. I'll let you know as soon as I hear any news from the Ensemble Manor tomorrow..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded at Morgana.

...

At this time, in the manor outside the city of Lingas.

Inside the Ensemble Manor, only a few oil lamps flickered in the dim light.

Several small castles stand within the manor.

The entire manor was extremely quiet; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, in the basement of a castle, there were about a hundred people dressed in tight-fitting clothes, masked, fully armed, and equipped with various firearms and weapons.

These are the killers Gandhi mentioned earlier.

In front of these hundred or so assassins dressed in tight-fitting clothes stood an old woman with a hunched back and stooped figure.

If Luna saw this old woman, she would definitely recognize her immediately.

This old woman is the same old woman who took over the robot he delivered.

The old woman stood before the assassins, though she had become noticeably thinner.

However, the old woman's aura remained undiminished.

The old woman paced back and forth for a while, while the assassins stood ramrod straight, motionless.

Just then, the old woman slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen, we've been exposed. We've captured several spies from Lingas City... These spies have all said that Gandhi has betrayed us... Anyone who betrays the Lord must die!"

"The Lord has ordered that a four-man team be left behind to kill Gandhi. Those who betrayed us must be skinned alive and nailed to the most conspicuous place as a warning to others..."

"But with the current level of security in Lingas City, once you go in, there's no going back... So, this time when you go in, you must be prepared to die. If the plan fails, you absolutely cannot be captured alive..."

As the old woman spoke, she kept waving her arms in front of the assassins.

These assassins had resolute expressions, and there was no fear in their eyes.

The old woman continued, "Who among you is willing..."

The assassins almost simultaneously raised their hands, then shouted, "I do..."

The old woman was not at all surprised when she saw what these people looked like.

He then said, "Alright, you are all warriors. Of course, if you succeed in your mission, the Pavilion Master will bestow a great reward. And if you die, and the mission fails, the Pavilion Master will still make sure your families are well taken care of, giving them enough wealth to last a lifetime..."

"Alright, since everyone's so enthusiastic, let's skip the small talk and start the draw..."

As she spoke, the old woman took out a handful of sticks.

The stick is flush on one side, and has four red dots on the bottom of the other side.

Internally, they refer to those without a red dot as "living tickets" and those with a red dot as "dead tickets"...

Those who draw the death lottery will be the suicide squad this time.

Those who drew the "birth" lot naturally missed this opportunity.

The old woman walked past each assassin with a handful of sticks in her hand. The assassins were expressionless, their eyes calm and undisturbed. Each of them had a tattoo on their palm.

If Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue were to see this tattoo...

They'll recognize it immediately...

Because the tattoo on the palms of these people is actually a symbol of the Blood Ghost Pavilion.

However, the pattern on this person's hand is clearly different from the pattern on the pendant around Luna's neck...

The pattern on the pendant around Luna's neck is different.

The patterns on the palms of these assassins were clearly much simpler.

The Blood Netherworld pattern on Luna's neck was clearly more intricate.

However, the general outline is similar, and it is easy to tell at a glance that it is the pattern of the Blood Nether Pavilion.

Only by looking closely can you see the differences.

These people all looked very indifferent, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were expressionless.

However, some of the people who didn't draw those so-called "death draws" were still very disappointed.

Those who drew the winning ticket showed a flicker of excitement on their faces, but this excitement did not last long.

It could even be described as fleeting.

Soon, four people had already been drawn!

The old woman said to the four people, "Now we are surrounded by people from Lingas City, and they have brought out all the weapons from the Crouching Dragon Manor... So, don't rush out. Just wait in the safe house here."

If Xiao Ce were here and heard what the old woman said, he would definitely be full of surprise.

After all, Xiao Ce believed that the place where their Wolong Manor manufactured weapons was a secret.

But actually, they already know that.

However, Xiao Ce also knew that what happened at Wolong Manor would eventually be known to others...

After the old woman said this, the four people nodded.

The old woman said, "Alright, I need eight more people to stay behind. They'll definitely come in to check once they get impatient waiting outside... The sect leader said he wants to teach them a lesson... You stay here to set traps, and kill as many of them as they come in..."

After saying that, the old woman asked them again who was willing.

Upon hearing the old woman's words, the assassins became excited again and began scrambling to get to the top.

They seemed completely unafraid of death.

After seeing their appearance, the old woman used the same method again.

They selected eight more assassins.

The old woman said, "Very good, the same goes for you. No matter whether you live or die, the Pavilion Master will never forget you!"

The eight assassins showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, they were filled with excitement.

The old woman said to the remaining assassins, "Alright, the rest of you, follow me through the secret passage."

The remaining assassins naturally nodded in agreement without saying a word.

The old woman then said to the remaining eight assassins, "After we leave, blow up this tunnel that leads to the outside."

The eight assassins nodded again after hearing the old woman's words.

The old woman nodded: "Although we've put you in this suicide squad, we don't want you to die. We don't want you to die; we want you to live! So, we look forward to seeing you again."

The twelve assassins didn't show much change in expression after hearing the old woman's words, but they still nodded.

The old woman then went directly into the basement. These manors were originally built for security, with many underground passages. Although these passages weren't large, they were far enough apart. The old woman had the worst legs, so she was the first to go out.

They walked for half an hour before finally getting away from Ensemble Manor.

Meanwhile, there were many people watching outside the Ensemble Manor, completely unaware of what was happening inside.

Because their tunnel was dug so far away, most people really don't know about it.

This group, led by the old woman, left the area directly.

They moved toward another manor not far away.

They then went directly into another manor.

Upon arriving here, the assassins looked at the old woman with puzzled expressions and asked, "Weren't we supposed to be leaving this place?"

The old woman smiled slightly: "Of course not. When they come to arrest us, if they fail to catch us, then they'll know we've escaped."

“However, I will do the opposite; we will go to Lingas City tomorrow.”

The assassins looked puzzled, then said to the old woman, "Are we going to Lingas? Aren't our four assassins also going to assassinate Gandhi? If the assassination succeeds, will they come looking for us?"

After hearing the assassin's words, the old woman smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Of course not. We all have legal identities... No one will find out... The most dangerous place is precisely the safest place for us!"

After hearing the old woman's words, the assassins nodded without saying a word and stopped talking. They were just following her orders anyway!
