He asked in surprise, "Minister, do you want to think about what you are saying?"
At this moment, a general in armor stepped forward, looked at Zhuge Lan, and said coldly, "The King is confused. Guards, take him down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards on both sides stepped forward and took Zhuge Lan away.
Zhuge Lan was full of shock. What was going on? He was the King! How could he be taken down before he even said a few words?
And weren't the guards on both sides his personal soldiers?
He shouted angrily, "What are you doing? I am the King! Aren't you my personal soldiers?"
At this moment, a young man walked out from the side and said, "The old King is utterly incompetent. I, Zhuge Fei, will become the new King."
Zhuge Lan was stunned. This was a usurpation! Zhuge Fei was his and Qian Renxue's second child. What was this situation?
He looked at Zhuge Fei and said, "Fei'er, what are you doing?"
At this moment, the minister stepped forward and said, "Take Zhuge Lan away. He is no longer the King."
After that, two guards directly dragged him away and locked him in the prison. He didn't understand what had happened.
It looked like it was premeditated, but when he thought about it carefully, something seemed off.
From the time he married Qian Renxue, he felt something strange. The people around him felt very exaggerated. This was his feeling, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
He squatted in the prison, feeling like it was a dream.
...
In the palace.
Qian Renxue was surrounded by a large number of guards, led by her second son, Fei'er. She said in shock, "Fei'er, what are you doing?"
Zhuge Fei sneered and said, "Father disobeyed the ancestors' decree and has been imprisoned by me. Now, your existence is a bit in the way."
Qian Renxue's expression changed instantly. Although she didn't like Zhuge Lan very much, he was still the father of her three children and had been with her for decades.
Although the two had always had conflicts, there were no major clashes.
He was also good to their children. She didn't understand why her child would betray him.
She said coldly, "How could you do this? He is your father."
Zhuge Fei sneered and said, "Arrest all of them, except for my mother."
To Qian Renxue's shock, her eldest son and third daughter were arrested. Even though she reprimanded, it had no effect.
There was nothing to say about Zhuge Lan, but her three children were her treasures.
Especially her eldest son, who was very obedient and her heart's desire.
After that, she pleaded, "Fei'er, don't do this. They are your older brother and younger sister!"
Zhuge Fei sneered and said, "As long as you kill Zhuge Lan, I can let Big Brother become the King of the Purple Star Kingdom, and Little Sister can stay by your side. Otherwise, they must die. I don't need useless people around me."
Qian Renxue pondered. She had reservations about killing Zhuge Lan, as he was the father of her three children. But after comparing, her three children were still more important, especially her eldest son.
She thought for a moment and let out a long sigh.
She said, "Okay, I will kill Zhuge Lan. I just hope what you said is true."
Zhuge Fei nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as you do it, I will definitely follow through."
On that day, the palace announced eighteen major crimes of the old King Zhuge Lan, such as indulging in women, neglecting court affairs, and trusting treacherous officials.
So, Zhuge Lan was brought to the city wall, ready to be executed.
And the executioner was Qian Renxue.
Zhuge Lan had an increasingly unreal feeling: he was arrested yesterday, and today he was to be executed.
Was this too fast, so much so that he was caught off guard?
Under such circumstances, he said, "Xue'er, how many years have we been together? Can you really bear to kill me?"
Qian Renxue let out a long sigh and said with a grim expression, "Hmph, it's all your good son's fault."
With that, Qian Renxue took out a long saber and slashed at Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan's face was full of bewilderment. Was this how his life would end?
Suddenly, a brush appeared in front of him. He vaguely felt that this brush was very familiar.
This brush was the Time-Space Brush, a divine item, and Zhuge Lan's life-saving artifact.
At this critical moment, it activated.
A ray of light enveloped him, and then he disappeared.
Qian Renxue was stunned. Suddenly, golden light flashed brightly on her body, and her lost memories began to surge into her mind.
She stood rooted to the spot in surprise, then knelt on the ground.
How could this be? How could this be? All of this was fake, but those days and nights felt so real. What was going on?
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"The secret realm opens."
A ray of light swept Qian Renxue out.
The figures around her began to change. They were all small fish and shrimp, and as for the three children, they were three golden turtles.
And this place was beneath the Tree God Lake.
An old man stood on the back of a giant golden turtle, a hint of disappointment on his face.
He almost killed that guy, but he didn't expect him to escape in the end.
After that, he said, "Golden Turtle, do you think these two will turn against each other in the future?"
The golden turtle pondered and then said, "Tree God, these two were originally enemies. As for whether they will turn against each other, perhaps their relationship will become closer, after all, what happened in the dream was real."
The Tree God sighed and said, "Zhuge Lan got off easy. That woman is really beautiful."
Outside the secret realm.
The gate slowly opened, and a large number of disciples began to return, but these people were less than one-tenth of those who went in.
However, those who remained were the strongest elites, and this was universally acknowledged.
Moreover, everyone was also discussing that Lei Yun's data had reached twenty thousand, which was double that of the second place. This strength was too terrifying.
Everyone wanted to get to know this person.
As all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples came out, Lei Yun was still not seen.
The people below also started discussing.
"Huh, what's going on? Where did Lei Yun go?"
Another person said, "Yes! Wasn't Lei Yun with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect team? Where did he go? Why didn't he come out with them?"
An Elder said, "Maybe he went somewhere else."
The four people on the main seat were also surprised not to find Lei Yun.
Lion Douluo of Spirit Hall said puzzledly, "Sect Master Ning, Lei Yun is the first place, and a record-breaking first place. Why didn't he appear in the team?"
Tang Li of Clear Sky Sect, who was beside him, also said, "Yes! Lei Yun's score is still there, which means Lei Yun is not dead. Where did he go?"
Sect Master Ning's face showed a hint of confusion. He knew that Lei Yun was Zhuge Lan, and logically, he should have come out with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect team this time, but why didn't he?
He was also unsure in his heart.
So he smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"I'm not too sure either. I'll investigate later."
