Chapter 22: Twists and Turns
Apo killed the bearded Zero, who followed him all the way......
Under the clouds that destroyed the city, no one could see the tears that fell on his lips in the torrential rain, and as his body trembled, he hugged the colder corpse, and looked at the traces of the army on the other party's arms for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You may not believe it, but the other thirteen Assassins in the field bear the marks of the army of the Grand Prince of Persia. (Persian)"
In other words, the situation in the Persian Empire may not be as simple as we think. (Persian)"
Mo Wushuang held the umbrella, Di Huaiying was present and did not want to see the life and death of Ah Pu and his comrades, and after repeatedly looking at the other assassins with different faces, he also found this strange scene on their arms.
"Say... Maybe the mongrels of the Saracen Empire pretended to be in order to create the illusion of infighting in our Persian Empire. (Persian)"
"Or, maybe they really had some last resort, and they had to pull out the scimitar at their waist towards the little princess Piruth. (Persian)"
"After all, he didn't want to admit that he was a traitor when he was dying, and it was very likely that something happened to Tibes, the great prince of the Persian Empire!"
Speaking his conjecture, the corners of Ah Gou's eyes clearly showed a touch of sadness and hatred, maybe this is the brotherly feelings of his comrades in the army, if there is no war, he will drink and talk with Zelo in the army.
It's a pity that here, behind Siqing and Li Yuanfang, they are responsible for the safety of the Tang Dynasty, so they can't intervene in Apu's even a little more sentimentality.
"Do these assassins still need to be interrogated, or are they sent back to the Great Xia region along the same route?" Li Yuanfang still looked indifferent with his knife in his hand.
"Forget it, they are all people who do what they are told, and if you want to know the news, you won't get any valuable information from them. ”
Di Huaiying heard Li Yuanfang's questioning on the side, and when he saw that the latter reached out to pull several assassins to the water prison, he unexpectedly found a special metal club around his waist.
"This, when I was tracking down the bearded man last night, I noticed that several Assassins were on guard and trying to check something with him with this object, so I thought it should be of some use and took it back. ”
Saying that, Li Yuanfang handed over the somewhat rusted metal stick to Di Huaiying's palm, and felt a little heavy at first, rubbing the uneven but smooth stick body on it, I don't know how many people's hands have been experienced.
And a conspicuous raised mark on the head of the stick reminded Di Huaiying of the weird sheepskin belt.
After all, the grooves are very similar to the marks of the protrusions, and it must be a fitting object for the belt......
I also heard that there is often a secret method of transmitting military newspapers on a belt overseas, and the letters can be neatly tied to a specific stick, so that you can see through the mysteries.
Thinking of this, Di Huaiying frowned, took out the sheepskin belt from his bosom and buckled it at the head of the stick, wrapped it around the metal rod in a circle, until the end was tightened by Mo Wushuang, and then looked at the rows of exotic characters on it!
Sure enough, reading like this finally began to flow smoothly, but the few instructions described in the few strokes made Di Huaiying couldn't help but feel a wild jump in his right eye.
It is a sheepskin made of a standard assassination warrant, with the names of Ruth and Apo clearly written on it, and the name of the person who signed it is also clearly depicted on it.
And there is one passage that is particularly eye-catching......
"Die or Return......"
"This is the standard military order in the Persian army, and I once took over the military order given to me by the eldest prince, but the grade is obviously higher than the one in front of me......"
I don't know when, Ah Pu had already woken up from the silence, and at this moment he came to Di Huaiying's side, staring at the scroll-like military order and smiling bitterly.
"The one on it is Ulug, the right general of the eldest prince Tibes, and it should not be a fake to see if the seal is a fake, so it can be confirmed that Ulug rebelled and fornicated with the Saracen Empire, trying to control the little princess and make Tibes submit!"
There was a flame in Apu's eyes, as if he wanted to burn another former comrade-in-arms to ashes, but seeing that Mo Wushuang had something to ask, he didn't expect Di Huaiying to reach out and stop the latter.
"It's useless to say it, as long as we leave this suspense in our hearts, not to mention that now that the Persian assassins in Chang'an City have been eliminated, this is a major event that unlocks the heart of Lord Siqing. ”
"And the internal disputes and beliefs in their countries are by no means something that we outsiders can intervene in......"
Mo Wushuang had no choice but to agree to Di Huaiying, looked back at Ah Pu's direction but pursed his lips, and did not go over to persuade him to put down the burden on his shoulders.
"Then what should we do next? help Apo bury Zero's body, or wait quietly for the news of Lord Shaoqing's return?"
Mo Wushuang was beside Di Huaiying, glancing at the faces of Siqing and Li Yuanfang with serious faces, and then asked in a low voice with eyebrows.
"Hehe, it's a coincidence, I received a letter falcon not long ago, and the young lady who asked just now is afraid that he has arrived outside the door of Dali Temple at this moment!"
Si Qing's ears were four or five feet away from Mo Wushuang before he could hear Fang Cai's whispering, and before the latter could be surprised, he saw a woman in a black dress and black gauze flying in the rain.
It seems to be a black lotus swaying in a thunderstorm and rainstorm, weird but indescribably elegant......
"Lord Shaoqing has finally returned, and it looks like the matter between Ah Pu and Pi Ruth has finally come to an end!"
Mo Wushuang was happy that Ah Pu's master and servant could realize his ideals, but he didn't know that Shaoqing's black dress was dragging a phantom in the air, and before Ah Pu could react, he kicked a leg in the chest, and the rain within the range of the rest of the body was scattered!
"Ahem, poof!"
Ah Pu's strength is much worse than that of Shaoqing, the damage to him from this kick is not low, after flying upside down, he crashed into the half-built parapet, and he crawled up and felt the cold dagger against his throat, and the blood stains that pierced his neck fell on the bluestone ground mixed with rain......
"Lord Shaoqing, slow down, what the hell is going on, why are you so heavy-handed to Ah Xue!"
Mo Wushuang and Di Huaiying were a little panicked, and just wanted to step forward to stop the dagger in Shaoqing's palm, but unexpectedly, Li Yuanfang took two steps forward and blocked in front of the two.
"Shaoqing will never hurt people for no reason, and listen to her explanation before stepping forward to question!"
When the two of them heard this, they could only look at Shaoqing's slender back, and with the rain soaking through their clothes, Shaoqing shook his head and said coldly in the direction of Mo Wushuang and Di Huaiying.
"We were all tricked by this kid called Ah Pu, who actually killed the third emperor and kidnapped the little princess, and then lied about the military situation and deceived the soldiers to attack the rebels in Persia!"
