A young and vigorous nobleman stood up and asked sharply, "Marquis Lyman, why are you poisoning Count Hogan?"
”Earl Hogan was the benefactor of many nobles present, but now he was poisoned and killed.His Majesty would surely be furious at this, and it would not be good if he suddenly changed his mind and punished the nobles who supported the Great Prince."
That's it!
Why?
”A group of nobles spoke out against the Marquis of Lyman.Marquis Lyman did not answer them, but said slowly: "You should almost have a seizure. ”As soon as the words ended, several elderly nobles were the first to feel unwell, and then they had the same symptoms as Earl Hogan, and finally fell to the ground and died in agony.Middle-aged and young aristocrats also fell to the ground one after another.The reason why Count Hogan died so quickly was because the Marquis of Lyman gave him a very large dose of poison, while the others were relatively small, and the attack was delayed.For a time, the nobles present were all in danger and panicked."
You bastard!
Give me the antidote!
”A panicked nobleman rushed to capture the Marquis of Lyman and force him to hand over the antidote.Seeing this, the knight beside the Marquis of Lyman decisively drew his sword and struck, and a long sword pierced the opponent's chest directly, killing him.Glancing at the nobleman, the Marquis of Lyman said indifferently: "Don't be in such a hurry to die, don't forget that this place is full of my knights and soldiers."
And not everyone was poisoned by me. ”The young and vigorous nobleman just now lay on the ground, raised his head and glared at the Marquis of Lyman with a painful expression, and asked difficult questions."
You......
Why......
""No, why. ”The Marquis of Lyman replied, "I am just doing what Your Majesty wants, and Your Majesty wants you to die, it's as simple as that." ”The words of "......" were no longer spoken, and the young nobleman soon rolled his eyes and died."
But didn't Earl Hogan say that His Majesty has pardoned you?"
The Marquis of Lyman gave what he wanted to say for the young nobleman who had just died.After saying that, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha-" "It's a pity, I made up all those nonsense words about Earl Hogan just now to lie to you, Your Majesty hates the rebel the most, how can I forgive you?"
”Hearing this, the nobles who were still struggling after the poison died with a face full of despair, and they still didn't see it.According to rough estimates, nearly half of the nobles present had already died of poison."
Tsk."
Seeing this scene, Marquis Lyman couldn't help but shake his head and smack his tongue, the poison that His Majesty gave him was really strong.After such a while, all the nobles who were poisoned died.The remaining nobles who had not been poisoned were all clubbed in place, not daring to act rashly.Marquis Lyman glanced at them and said unhurriedly: "Those of you who were not poisoned, you didn't decide to support the eldest prince in the first place, and you were barely neutral, so you were able to escape. ”The rest of the nobles looked at each other, and it seemed that it was right not to want to get involved in the struggle for the throne before, otherwise they would end up like the dead people on the ground."
Marquis Lyman, are you the messenger of His Majesty?"
Someone summoned up courage and asked cautiously."
That's right.""
Then Count Hogan ......"
"He's just a pawn of mine, and he can be discarded when he runs out."
In fact, White only asked the Marquis of Lyman to kill all the nobles who supported the Grand Prince, not including Earl Hogan.It was the Marquis of Lyman who felt that Count Hogan was in the way, so he took the initiative to deal with him by the way.As long as you can deter that group of neutral nobles, I believe that Your Majesty will not blame you, Marquis Lyman thought with confidence.At the right time, an old nobleman stood up and said, "I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, can you let me leave here?"
”"Me too.""
And me."
A group of nobles scrambled to show their loyalty, wanting to leave this unfortunate place where so many people had died early."
Don't be in a hurry."
Marquis Lyman raised his hand, suppressed the voices of the nobles, and then took out a crystal clear gray magic stone."
This is the gramophone magic stone, Your Majesty has something to say to you personally."
Next, he drove the mana into the magic stone and activated it.The magic stone glowed faintly silver, and White's voice came from within."
Presumably, the people who supported the eldest prince are all dead, and the rest are all neutral people.Not participating in the war that Brother Wang and I started over the throne is the luckiest thing in your life.Of course, I don't like you guys who are wise enough to protect your life. ”"For this reason, I have prepared for you a miraculous poison that can discern faithfulness.Each of you must take one from the Marquis of Lyman, and say 'Forever loyal to me' before you eat it.If it's true allegiance, then it's fine, if it's fake, you will be poisoned immediately, and your betrayal will attack in the future. ”"Remember, you don't have any other choice."
The follow-up voice was gone, and the magic stone in Marquis Lyman's hand turned into a pinch of gray powder, and the feeling was still a disposable."
Do you understand?"
Marquis Lyman patted the ash powder off his hand, and then took out a clear glass bottle containing red pills."
Didn't you just say that you would be loyal to Your Majesty?
Now is the time to prove yourself, please line up and pick it up. ”Under the supervision of the knights, the nobles all lined up in front of the Marquis of Lyman, and the bodies that were in the way were moved to other places.The first was an old nobleman with a long beard, and the Marquis of Lyman took out a red pill and put it in the palm of his hand."
Don't be fooled, I have so many eyes on you here."
Marquis Lyman motioned to the four knights beside him, and they looked at the nobleman who had obtained the pill with their swords in hand.As soon as suspicious behavior is detected, it will be unceremoniously moved."
I see."
The old nobleman said "I will always be loyal to Your Majesty" as requested, put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.Then, nothing happened.In response, the Marquis of Lyman smiled and said, "Very well, your loyalty to Your Majesty is genuine. ”"Can I go, then?"
The old nobleman asked."
Not yet, I can't let you go until everyone has eaten the red pill.Next. ”In this case, the old nobleman could only honestly step aside.And the nobles behind saw that he was safe and sound, and they were immediately relieved.The rest of the people were fine, until the eighth nobleman ate the pill, suddenly grabbed his neck uncomfortably, his face turned blue and purple, he couldn't speak, he fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, and after a while he rolled his eyes and died.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
