The eastern city gates opened wide, and more pursuers came out from the Kilo City. All eyes were turned towards the fleeing soldiers of the two Dukes, Lan Feng was ignored.

Lan Feng did not encounter any obstructions or questions, and directly entered through the city gate.

The entire imperial city was in chaos. All the stores were tightly shut, and occasionally, a few commoners would run around with fear written all over their faces. Lan Feng walked in the direction of the palace. On the way, his heart tightened upon hearing what he saw.

Finally, the imperial palace's imposing and luxurious buildings entered his eyes, and this was also the only place in the capital that was free from chaos. As a result, Lan Feng was stopped.

"Lan Feng Murchel?" A captain of the imperial guards stared at Lan Feng and waved his hand: "Capture him!"

"Please listen to my explanation, I …"

"There is nothing to explain. If you do not have a rebellious heart, you will be punished by the punishment of surrender!"

Looking at the dozens of Royal Guards rushing over, Lan Feng's thoughts were in complete disarray. Fight back? That was a huge crime against the Empire. He was the Imperial Knight and he would never allow such a thing to happen. Not resist? With a belly full of grievances, he believed that his grandfather would never betray the empire. Even his majesty could not so easily convict a Duke!

To the side, Tantai's dark grey eyes revealed two rays of light. His entire body's bones were making cracking noises, as though he was prepared to make a move.

"Tantai!" Lan Feng pulled him back, and said solemnly: "You are not allowed to attack!"

Startled, Tantai looked at him blankly as she thought to herself, "The mistress told me to protect him, isn't this a dangerous time? But, since the mistress told me to listen to him and he is the mistress's master, what should I do if he doesn't let me do it? "

Lan Feng saw that he was stunned, and said softly: "Since you are willing to follow me, then you must listen to me, or else, immediately leave this place!"

To leave this place was to not complete the instructions of his master. At that time, the punishment he would face would be unimaginable. Tantai no longer hesitated and immediately retracted all of his strength. He followed behind Lan Feng with his head lowered, without moving an inch.

Several guards were dragging two shackles made of elite steel. The two of them were tied up like dumplings and escorted into the palace by a group of people. After a few turns, they finally stopped outside a building. This was the Imperial Palace's dungeon, which was known as a prison that not even Blue Stage Rankers would be able to escape from.

From the entrance onwards, every inch of the floor and walls were made of fine steel. The walls were filled with various kinds of holes, and it was obvious that there were countless mechanisms within.

After turning several times and descending nearly ten steps, Lan Feng was secretly shocked. From the way he came, he could tell that he was already one hundred meters below the ground!

The lowest level of the dungeon wasn't that big. Most criminals would be taken in by the corresponding department. In fact, this dungeon was almost unused. Its true purpose was to imprison the important officials of the empire who committed heinous crimes. In other words, if your identity isn't sufficient, you won't be able to be locked up here.

"Grandfather!" "Father!"

Lan Feng shouted in shock. He had clearly seen a cell that was made of fine steel, layer after layer, with three different sizes and three layers of fine steel cages enclosed together. Duke Longth, Count Singh, Viscount Schiller and others.

When they heard Lan Feng's call, all of them turned their heads around, and then, there was a look of surprise on their faces.

Duke Longth was surprised at first, but then a little joy appeared on his face. He turned around and shouted loudly, "Lan Feng! What are you doing in the imperial capital? Why did you come back?! "

"Grandfather, I … I heard something happened at home, so …"

"Let's talk inside."

After the jailer opened the first level of the prison door, the guard pushed Lan Feng and in, closed the first level, and opened the second level. It was in this manner that, after going through three checkpoints, the true disaster of the prison period began.

As soon as Lan Feng walked in, he immediately knelt and said painfully: "What exactly happened here? Grandfather, please tell me, you can't possibly have a rebellious heart, right? "

Longth sighed and helped him up, "Child, you shouldn't have come. His Majesty has already …"

More than ten days ago, the Mochel family was still immersed in the joy of Lan Feng being just conferred a title.

Suddenly, the His Majesty Marder ordered for Duke Longth to act in an urgent manner. Duke Longth thought that there would be some sort of important battle, who knew that right after arriving at the palace, he would be surrounded by thousands of people, there was no evidence at all to announce his intention to rebel.

After capturing Duke Longth, on one hand, the Royal Guards went straight to the Duke's Mansion to seal him off, and on the other hand, everyone in the house was captured. On the other hand, he had anxiously recalled Xin Luo who was guarding Sedingsor. At this point, all of their families had been captured, leaving only Lan Feng, who did not know who Zhang Ye was. Who would have thought that today, he would walk right into a trap and capture all of the Murchels.

Because of this, even though many loyal private soldiers had other thoughts, they didn't dare to mess around and were all taken captive.

"When I first came to the capital, the Montes and the Burns were wanted all over the country for the same crime of treason. However, they had attacked the imperial city, and the patriarchs of the two families had fled the night before …

"How could this be?" Hearing Lan Feng's words, Duke Longth's face changed greatly, "Impossible! "Although they are enemies, they can't be rebellious. Just like our family, how can His Majesty deal with three of them at once? The Kite family …"

The Count Singh wanted to have a good chat with his son to resolve the pain he had felt during this past year of yearning, but it was not the time for that as he lightly said to Duke Longth, "Father, could it be that His Majesty wants to unite all of his power and control all of his army by himself so that he can only act against a few dukes?"

Xin Luo quickly came closer and said in a deep voice, "Big brother said it is very possible. With something like this happening, logically speaking, Pope Merri should not ignore it. The only possibility is that before our clan was captured, Pope Merri was already captured by us. "

"Third Uncle, your analysis is correct. However, my views are slightly different from Father's."

Reaching this point, Lan Feng lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty can be considered an enlightened ruler. It is impossible for him to not know how important the four great dukes are to the empire. Since the situation has turned out this way, it is likely that it wasn't His Majesty's idea but that something has happened to His Majesty and someone else is giving out the order! "

Everyone was shocked as they looked at each other and nodded their heads. This was the most reasonable explanation, but it was also the most unreasonable explanation.

Putting aside the fact that the His Majesty Marder himself was very strong, the experts in the palace were like clouds. To be able to control the His Majesty Marder without making any noise, it was impossible for even the experts of any country to do so. Then, how could the Purple Stage Expert, who was only a Demigod rank expert of the Purple Stage, do such a thing?

Xin Le walked to Lan Feng's side and sat down, gently patting him on the shoulder and sighed: "This is only a guess, we are the subjects of Empire of Sarn, in the absence of certainty, what can we do. Furthermore, looking at the situation now, even if it's true, there's nothing we can do. "

"No!" Lan Feng stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "Even if you are the Emperor, without evidence, you cannot accuse us wrongly. Is this what the Moche family did for the Empire?"

The gaze of the entire family turned towards him. They just couldn't understand how Lan Feng could say such outrageous words. He was once so upright, so humble, so kind, his loyalty to the Empire was equivalent to the sun and moon. As a knight, even if he died, he could not rebel against his own country!

Sensing his family's gaze, Lan Feng clenched his fists: "Justice is right, if others do not give us justice, then what about loyalty? It's been over a year, and I've been in contact with a lot of things over the past year. Every life of a person in a higher position would be precious without any difference in value. Even if they were a commoner, no one would be able to rob them of their life. I, Lan Feng Mercier, will never place my life in the hands of anyone else. No one can dream of killing me or frame my family, even if he is the ruler of a nation! "

"Lan Feng! You … "Duke Longth trembled in anger, pointed at Lan Feng and bellowed," We of Moche family were loyal to the Empire of Sarn in the era, and yet you dare to say such words.

Lan Feng straightened his back, and said with a resolute expression: "Grandfather, I have changed over a year, but I do not recognize that I have become bad. Once, when I was about to starve to death, a commoner saved me, gave me food, and treated me kindly. "From that moment on, I have changed. I know that nobles and royals are not the noblest, and every single one of them is the same. They are all born from the same parents, so what right do they have to serve a group of people and be bullied by those so-called nobles?"

Singh said in a low voice, "Because the blood of nobles is far more noble than that of nobles!"

"Bloodline?" Lan Feng laughed and sighed in relief, then said: "Father, what are the Knight's standards? Humility, integrity, kindness, loyalty, and the responsibility to protect their own people. Knights are also nobles, but there is nothing in the Knight's Code that proves that commoners are despicable. On the contrary, they are protected by Knights and not bullied. "

"As for bloodlines, there's no difference between high and low. My friend, the leader of Tianxing Mercenary Group, Shawk, was born a commoner, and now, the halo surrounding his body can't even be compared to that of ordinary nobles. Who can say that his bloodline is low?"

His words were like stones falling into a calm lake, causing ripples to form in the crowd's hearts. The things that were once deeply ingrained in them had cracks to appear. The other line of thought was like a small grass that was pressed under a rock. It would take root and germinate, and the rock would collapse at any moment due to the resistance of that tenacious life force …
