The news of Beichen's assassination was quickly reported to the eighth prince, Lord Bileg.

In the study room of the Eight Princes' Mansion, Qi Binxuan, Battell, and the housekeeper Binta gathered together to discuss the matter with the Eight Princes. The Eighth Prince first praised Binta, praising him for adjusting the memory of the monitoring software, and thanks to this move, he grabbed the handle of the radicals in one fell swoop.

Binta was a little embarrassed about this, not that he was thin-skinned, but that he was a little embarrassed to be praised in front of Qi Binxuan.

After that, Bilegg asked what to do next.

Battle immediately said: "Eighth Prince, we must take this opportunity to put pressure on the radicals, combat their arrogance, and take the opportunity to seize some of the benefits. ”

These are some of the unspoken rules of the previous struggle between the two factions, one side has a handle to be caught, and the other side will give up a part of the interests of equal value in order to calm the situation.

After hearing this, Bileg nodded unconsciously, as if he had dealt with this many times and had become a habit. Later, he saw Qi Binxuan, and then he reacted, he did everything possible to find this staff, but he hadn't really used it yet.

So Bileg began to ask Qi Binxuan's opinion: "Master Qi, do you have any suggestions for handling this matter?"

After Qi Binxuan heard this, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Eighth Prince, I want to confirm again, compared with our conservatives and radicals, which is stronger and which is weaker, and how much is the difference?"

Regarding this, the eighth prince replied very directly: "The strength of our conservatives is far from that of the radicals. It's only about half of their strength, and that's because I'm the Khan's brother, and because my old face can speak to some of my relatives. ”

After Qi Binxuan listened, he continued: "The Eighth Prince has a very thorough view of the situation. So, I would like to ask, what is the attitude of the neutrals?"

"Speaking of this, I get angry, the neutral faction, under the leadership of my third brother, is a wall grass, helping this and that for a while, sometimes helping the strong side, sometimes helping the weak, and the position is very unfirm. ”

"And what about the strength of the neutrals?"

"A little worse than us, our two factions together can barely compete with the radicals. I don't understand, in this case, the alliance between the neutral faction and our faction is the right way, such an obvious thing, the third brother still can't understand it?" the eighth prince complained, obviously very angry.

Qi Bin smiled and said, "Don't be anxious about the eighth prince. It's also normal for them to do it. Think about it, if you were to unite with each other, whose ideas would you be guided by, and should you be called conservatives or neutrals?"

When the eighth prince heard this, he suddenly realized that this was a layer of window paper, which would break if he stabbed it. What seems to me to be taken for granted, it is in my own position, and the neutrals may not see it that way.

The eighth prince nodded, agreed with Qi Binxuan's explanation, and then asked, "Then in your opinion, what should we do?"

Qi Binxuan said: "Eighth Prince, from my research on the information you gave me before, I found that although the competition between the three factions has become semi-open, the main power is still in the hands of the Khan. In other words, even if it will break the bones, as long as the Khan is determined, he can still easily get rid of any faction. ”

"Well, so to speak. Bilegg had no objection to this, and he was not rebellious, and he was happy to see it happen.

"Then, we can understand it this way, the key point in the struggle between the two factions is still the attitude and tendencies of the Khan. Therefore, it is more important to win the support of the khan than to play a game between the two factions. ”

When the Eighth Prince and Battle heard this, they felt reasonable, but then asked, "Then how can we win the support of the Khan?"

"From the previous information, I checked the achievements of the Khan since he succeeded to the throne, and found that the Khan was a very capable king. Then, he will definitely not sit back and watch a faction grow bigger, and will maintain a balance. Therefore, we should use this incident as an opportunity to send a message to Khan that we conservatives are weak compared to the radicals and urgently need his support. ”

"How should this message be conveyed?" the eighth prince asked eagerly after hearing this, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the chief staff member he fancied, and the way to solve the problem was different.

"The eighth prince can go to the khan to cry and tell what happened during this time. You see, in just half a month, you were first chased and killed by your return to China, and then the chief staff was inexplicably arrested, and now the leader of the secret guard has been assassinated again, this series of things can just make you feel disheartened, and you intend to disarm and return to the field, be an idle prince, and spend the rest of your life in peace. ”

"Isn't there something wrong with this?" Battelle asked at this time: "The Hungarian Kingdom is established by force, and it is important to move forward bravely and fearlessly. This crying will not give Khan the impression of a crybaby, but it will backfire. Moreover, the eighth prince resigned, and if the khan really agreed, then what should he do. ”

"Rest assured, as a generation of Ming lords, the Khan will not agree to the resignation of the Eighth Prince, otherwise, the radical family is dominant, which is extremely unfavorable to its rule. Qi Binxuan explained: "In addition, letting the eighth prince cry does not mean that he is cowardly, but can be regarded as iron-blooded tenderness." The eighth prince can express his heart directly from the Khan, showing his willingness to contribute to the strong rise of Hun Zhen, but it backfired, but he was constrained by the younger generations everywhere. After that, you said that it was nothing that you were hunted down and killed, but you put your friends and subordinates in danger. The Eight Kings can tell some touching stories about what Beichen did in the process of defending you. It's best to block guns and bullets for you, but if you don't, in order to protect your safety, you can abandon your small family and work while sick. Then you sighed, you are really tired, and you don't want to see your subordinates leave you one by one for their ideals, so you want to put Nanshan and be an idle prince and a rich man. This is the method of retreating as an advance and the attitude of retreat as a means of progress. ”

After hearing this, Battle frowned and asked, "I still feel that this is too risky, if the Khan really agrees to the resignation of the Eighth Prince, then we will lose a lot?"

Qi Binxuan said: "Judging from Khan's personality and way of doing things, this possibility is very small. After all, the important ministers of the court have the unspoken rule of asking for three resignations, except for those that make the khan extremely disgusted, they will not agree to it as soon as they resign. Moreover, even if the Khan agrees, the Eighth Prince will go into hiding for a period of time, and he can still use the power of the conservatives to accumulate strength and secretly influence the court situation. Presumably, when the time comes, the radicals will gain power and become dominant, and they will definitely be arrogant and domineering. In this way, the khan can understand that without the containment of the eighth prince, the court situation will be greatly affected. At that time, the Eight Princes will be reactivated, and they will be more reused. In addition, you have fought so many times with the radicals before, and you are often at a disadvantage, and there is not much improvement. This time, you can win a higher hand by Khan's tendencies. It's a rare opportunity, and it's worth the fight. ”

The eighth prince slapped his thigh at this time and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

Things should be time-sensitive, especially when this kind of subordinate is assassinated, and it has just been found out that the murderer is his rival, it is more normal to make some outrageous actions when his mind is hot.

The eighth prince immediately entered the palace and met the Khan.

In the Khan's study, the eighth prince cried about his ambition to assist the Khan in his ambitions, and told about his daily hardships and resistances. Despite all the hardships, he still did not give up his original intention. However, some things that have been experienced recently have made the Eighth Prince's heart cold. The great sages were hunted down, the sages were framed for no reason, and even the leaders of their own bodyguards were assassinated. The assassin turned out to be a relative of an important minister in the court. I want to support my ambition to support Hungary, but the resistance is not international, but domestic, which is too chilling.

The eighth prince told the khan about the bits and pieces of his relationship with Beichen, including the unforgettable experience of Beichen blocking the knife for him when he was assassinated; he worked overtime, Beichen bought food for him, and told him to take medicine on time; he needed to visit, Beichen insisted on being on duty despite the death of the elders in the clan, and after his visit, he returned to his hometown and knelt in front of the elders' graves in pain.

The Eighth Prince babbled and said, his words were reversed and there was no logic, however, this made the Khan feel real and not like deception. In the narrative of the Eighth Prince, Beichen is simply a model in the bodyguard world. Khan also regretted the loss of such a good warrior. At the same time, I was also a little jealous, why didn't I have such a perfect guard by my side.

The Khan reassured: "Eighth brother, this is my dereliction of duty. I care too little about you. But I can't grant your request, the Hungarian Kingdom still needs you, and the Khan also needs you. In the future, I will need you to contribute your strength to the country. Don't worry about Beichen's affairs, I will give you an explanation. At the same time, I would also warn some people to be careful in their actions and not to go too far. Your escort force is indeed insufficient, so I will allocate you a private army to protect you and some important subordinates. In addition......"

Khan's mind recalled a previous discussion with the Eagle Commander, Ang Qinfu. Regardless of whether the chief staff invited by the Eighth Prince is a spy or not, he must have real skills, rather than letting him come up with some painless ideas under the Eighth Prince, it is better to put it in the court, on the one hand, it is convenient to monitor, on the other hand, his ability can be used by the court to squeeze his real talent.

Thinking of this, Khan said: "In addition, I feel that Brother Wang does have a group of capable people with lofty ideals, for example, the staff member Qi Binxuan you invited from the Song State last time is not bad, I hope you can recommend a group of officials to join the dynasty and serve the country, don't hide your secrets." ”

After hearing this, the eighth prince was very excited, he didn't expect that he could have such a big harvest with a cry. However, on the surface, he still did not show joy, and bowed down and thanked: "The khan is so heartfelt and sincere, and his subordinates will be smeared with liver and brain, and they will die to assist the khan in achieving immortal causes." ”

After the Eighth Prince's departure, Khan Dulifu was furious, and he summoned the Eagle Capital Sidu Zhi Ang Qinfu to confirm the truth of what the Eighth Prince said about Beichen's murder.

Ang Qinfu went down to investigate, and then reported to the Khan: "After some investigation by his subordinates, it is true that as the Eighth Prince said, his bodyguard Beichen was murdered at the secret outpost of the Eight Princes' Mansion. Judging from the surveillance video, it was indeed Victors, the nephew of the patrol captain Shi, who did it. And the patrol captain is indeed a member of the radical faction. ”

"Yes!" the Khan snorted heavily, and the grievances in his heart overflowed.

Aung Qinfu glanced at Khan, and then added: "But there are some doubts in this case. ”

"What is the suspicion?" the Khan tilted his head slightly, looked at Ang Qinfu, and thought to himself, could it be that the account of the eighth prince was still a little untrue? In that case, the behavior of the eighth prince who came to the palace to cry before was to be discussed.

"That's right, after Wenchas was caught and imprisoned, he kept saying that he was wronged. He said that he had been recuperating from his injuries at the junior level, and that it was his deputy Helekin who was really assassinated. In the investigation of the humble position, it was found that Winchas was really an idle man who did not learn and did not know how to do it. Saying that he assassinated Beichen, not to mention whether he could hide in that small craft store for seven days, even if he really attacked from behind with a heavy object as the scene surveyed, he might not be able to kill Beichen with one blow, and he might even be killed. So, he thinks that maybe Winchas is not the real murderer. But the strange thing is that Haile Gold was detained for drunk driving seven days ago, and now he has not been released, so it is impossible to commit the crime, which is the suspicion of the feeling of despicability. As for Winchas's junior, he disappeared inexplicably, and according to his identity information, there was no such person, which is really strange. ”

After Aung Qinfu finished recounting his suspicious feelings, Khan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the wave that had just been set off in his heart calmed down. What he cared about was whether the Eighth Prince had lied to him and whether he had hidden something. Who is the real murderer, for the Khan, is really not a big deal.

The khan said to Aung Champ: "The suspicions you have mentioned are insignificant. Besides, whether it is the hand of Winchas or the hand of Hellkin, for us and the Eighth Prince, they are all the hands of the radicals, aren't they? Moreover, even if Haile Jin did it or found someone to do it, when the surveillance has captured Winchas, can replacing an insignificant person with an insignificant person calm the anger of the Eighth Prince? Is it necessary for the radicals to do this? You go and pass a message to Fuqu, so that he can be more restrained and understand some sense of proportion in the future. The Khan did not want to see another bloodshed of fratricide in the Eagle Capital. ”

Wechen understood. Aung Qinfu took the order and left.

"Utilizing a monitor for a seven-day cycle of coverage, this is the idea of whom. If you happen to encounter a power outage, a day or two late, the murderer is still exposed. Such a careless assassination is really disappointing for the radicals. The Khan shook his head and sighed, feeling a little disappointed in his courtiers.

On the way to Fuqu, Ang Qinfu thought that sure enough, in the torrent whirlpool of the Hun Zhen court, the little people were just pawns. Even some statuses, such as the previous Hiroshi Bunbo, are just more important pawns, such as the hippopotamus. In the real game, abandoning the horse and protecting the car is a common thing, and at the critical moment, abandoning the car to protect the handsome is also a helpless choice. I really don't know which chess piece I belong to? Will there be a day when I will be abandoned?

When Ang Qinfu came to Fuqu Mansion, Zuo Dan was reporting to Fuqu Dabuxing about the assassination of Beichen. Knowing that Ang Qinfu was coming, Dabxing hurried out to greet him. Zuo Dan found a no-man's place to hide.

After Aung Qinfu conveyed the Khan's will and left, Zuo Dan came out of his hiding place, looked at the trembling Dabxing and asked, "My lord, does the Khan have any will?"

Dabxing replied: "You said just now that Winchas wanted to covet the credit of Hylegin, so let Helekin assassinate him in his name. But unfortunately, Helekin was arrested, so he had to find a henchman to carry out this task in his place.

That's what it means. ”

"Hmph, these wine bags and rice bags, there are more than enough successes and failures, and they want to take the credit, but they don't want to take the responsibility, where is that kind of good thing? The Khan also paid attention to this matter, and asked the Inspector Division to convict Winchas and deal with it quickly. ”

"However, Captain Shalson may have an opinion from there. ”

"He still has an opinion? The person he introduced has messed things up, and it's good if he didn't look for his business, dare to have any opinions. ”

"Yes. "Zuo Dan, who was soft-spoken, couldn't answer, so he had to deal with it, if Hasen really had an opinion, let him come directly to Lord Fuqu.

"And you, let you do something, how to do it. Frustrated Qu also began to scold Zuo Dan.

Zuo Dan also began to complain, his subordinates are all a group of related households, whether they have the ability or not, they have to be inserted, and they are also in important positions, they can't beat and scold, there are a few hard workers, this credit will be robbed, and the work is really impossible to carry out.

Frustrated Qu listened, frowned and pondered, maybe it is indeed as Zuo Dan said, this department that specializes in dealing with the shady needs to be rectified.

Frustration said: "You set up a new company, let the remaining nine idiots go to retire inside, and don't get in the way anymore." Then pick the right man and return to the mini-boss. ”

"Will the powerful members of the radical faction have an opinion?"

"After this incident, whoever has an opinion is to the detriment of the interests of all. This is just an opportunity for us to take a good look at our own shortcomings. ”

"Yes, let's do it for the little ones. ”

Zuo Dan took the order, and on the way to the Patrol Division, he took out a spare mobile phone and sent a message to an unfamiliar number with an unnamed number: "The oranges are so rotten, let's buy apples instead." ”

In the Patrol Division Prison, Hellegkin, who was detained for drunk driving, took out the spare mobile phone in his pocket and saw a text message from one of the familiar numbers about buying an apple, and let out a hysterical silent smile.

It seems that I have voted for the right one.

The assassination incident is indeed as Zuo Dan and Fu Qu introduced, but the order is different.

First of all, when Winshas told him that he wants to take the credit, he has a plan to blame Winchas, and he is in the car and persuades Winchas not to go out and communicate with the outside world for the last seven days, so as not to be suspected when he takes the credit. In the second step, he informs Zuo Dan and at the same time designs to frame Winchas as a petition for his defection to Zuo Dan. In the third step, Hellegin first found his henchman and asked him to use a simulated hood to play Winchas to carry out assassination activities, and then pretended to be drunk with his friends, drove drunk, caused an accident and hit a roadside vehicle and was arrested and imprisoned as alibi. Things then turned out as expected, and Winchas was released as a scapegoat. Winchas's junior was also secretly transferred by Hellekin arrangers, so that the last bit of evidence for Winchas was gone. As for Xiao San, it is easier to understand that he can't find it in the file, and Xiao San doesn't want his true identity to be exposed, when he was introduced to Winchas by Helekin before, he used a fake ID card.

Even if the monitor really only retains a seven-day loop coverage as speculated, however, Helekin still arranged a series of back-up hands that could allow the catcher to track down Winchas step by step by extremely fortuitous coincidence. It's just that because of the memory card replacement, the process has become easier.

In a ridiculous assassination, the Eighth Prince lost a guard leader, but won the Khan's inclined support; Fuqu was reprimanded by the Khan, but finally made up his mind to rectify his spy agency to avoid bigger and more fatal omissions in the future; although Zuo Dan failed in his mission and was scolded by Fuqu, he got his wish, purged his subordinates and reorganized the team; Helekin failed in his mission and led to the killing of his superiors, and entered the public eye in a dishonorable manner, but he successfully submitted his name to Zuo Dan, and since then he has a place in the radical spy organization。 Really, there is a real taste in this, and I know the gains and losses.

Qi Binxuan got the good news from the eighth prince, and the khan intended to let him enter the court, get an official and a half position, and serve the king. Qi Binxuan sighed with emotion, "You don't need a sword for revenge, and you don't need a soldier for the auxiliary country", after several twists and turns, you can finally start your own formal plan.
