This did not sit well with some of the former King's forces.
They didn't even know what the young king's character was like.
They didn't know whether their own people were too involved in the assassination process.
And on this night, several people secretly came to a very hidden stronghold and took away a bearded man from inside.
If someone was conducting secret intelligence work in this area, he would definitely recognize who this bearded person was.
Many years ago, when the old king had conflicts with people from outside the region, this man appeared during the imminent war.
This man once controlled the magic cannons on the guard tower on the border and fired a cannon at the troops advancing in the sixth area.
It was this cannon that blasted the commander of the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops into two pieces directly from the army.
Due to the sudden miraculous effect of this cannonball, this war that was about to break out ended just like that.
The Sixth District's plan to expand and annex the Fifth District was inexplicably aborted.
Later, someone with knowledge went over to inquire and found out that he was the heir to the country he had killed with one shot.
As soon as this highly anticipated heir died, the minds of his younger brothers and sisters who were all of similar level began to take action.
As the real ruler of the aging Sixth Region, there is no way to suppress the ideas of the younger generation.
Subsequently, the sixth region fell into chaos that lasted for decades.
He was this amazing artilleryman who performed extraordinary feats, causing the original old king to directly recommend him two titles, and became a hero sought after by everyone in this country.
What people didn't expect was that this legendary hero would become attached to this mediocre king.
And he was willing to do such dangerous things for this incompetent emperor.
And when the triggering energy cannon was fired so accurately, some people in the know didn't even need to guess to know who fired the cannon.
There was nothing remotely suspicious or thinly disguised.
The bearded legendary hero was confident in himself when he launched.
But when things developed in a weird direction, and the inexplicable passerby actually saved the young prince, the bearded man immediately threw down his weapons and hid in a hiding spot that he thought was hidden.
This hiding spot is also one of the escape routes prepared for him by the current king.
At that time, they rehearsed the assassination process countless times.
Although the bearded man thought he would not miss, he still arranged the hiding spot well.
Then the result was that he used this hiding place as expected.
But this. He thought that the hiding place that only he and the king knew was actually found out by the young prince in a short period of time.
Maybe it's confidence in myself, maybe it's too arrogant.
The legendary hero thought he was hidden, but in fact there were loopholes everywhere.
Not long after the prince dismissed his guests, no fewer than two or three nobles came to report the whereabouts of the legendary hero.
And these nobles are all dependents of the old forces who helped the mediocre king together with this hero.
They couldn't wait to run to the current winner and use this news in exchange for future benefits.
They used news about their own people as a welcome gift to their new masters.
Maybe he didn't know where this person would eventually hide, but in the end, countless clues connected them to form a complete hiding line.
Each of these people is only responsible for a part of the work, but the final result of these tasks is that the bearded man can live a good life in that hiding place.
As long as the people on the new king's side are a little smarter, they can find these clues to find the person they want to capture.
Then, late at night, the bearded guy who thought he was hiding well was dragged out of the bed.
The person responsible for the arrest did not expect that the bearded man would still have the heart to sleep so soundly in bed after assassinating the current king.
If they didn't want to take the former hero's face into consideration, they probably didn't have his pants on when they dragged him away.
In the follow-up process, the bearded hero fully demonstrated his no-nonsense character.
Even though he was facing the current king at this time, and the rescuer of the king was behind him, locked in an airtight prison, he did not show any fear.
Therefore, when the young king asked him why he was not afraid and why he was so loyal to saving the king, the bearded man said his answer indifferently: "I know what I did. When I was caught, no matter how cowardly I acted, I still did what I had to do. Will you spare me because of my cowardice?
No joy, a good enough heir will not forgive his enemies for such boring reasons.
Although you have now taken control of the political power of this country in the shortest time, there are so many undercurrents hidden underneath and the old forces that were still controlled by the king.
At this time, if the methods you use are gentler, they will look down on you, think you are easy to bully, and start to make moves.
As long as you don't kill your brother for one day, then they will think that they still have a chance to stand up.
Therefore, at this time, showing your thunderous methods and cold heart is the most correct way to act.
These cruel and harsh methods are enough to cover up your current shortcomings of age.
And I, the person who assassinated you and brought great harm to the safety of the entire country, became an opportunity for you to show your own methods.
So what if I act like I want to survive? Wouldn't the result still be the same as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?
Therefore, young successor, there is no need to ask me what I am.
Now that I've done those things, I'm ready for what's next.
I just hope that the new king will see that I am brave enough and will not embarrass my family and my friends.
Because they are the most innocent people in this matter, and they know nothing about what I just did.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are the most pitiable, because when I did this, I didn't care about their life or death at all.
so. My dear King, when you want to show your mercy..."
