Chapter 0060: A Suspicious Carriage Murder Case
This pawn surnamed Gou was careful to accompany him, and at the same time ordered the Pakistani guards to immediately track down the whereabouts of the murderer.
At the same time, the envoys of the two countries each had a fast horse, galloping in the direction of the capital of the enlightened country and the capital of Pakistan respectively, and wanted to report the incident to their respective kings as soon as possible.
However, Du Xuan cautiously approached the carriage, and looked into the carriage with the torches of the guards who stayed on the side, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave.
Miss Yue'er is dead!
The girl was still wearing the same dress she had just dressed, half-leaning back on the carriage, and her pretty face was full of surprise, as if she could not believe that the mysterious assassin would attack her.
Her neck was obviously slashed by a sharp blade, and the wound was very thin and deep, showing the precision and ruthlessness of the murderer's shot.
In the face of the existence above the peak of the ninth grade, the Yue'er girl of the seventh grade naturally has no power to resist.
Du Xuan glanced at the tragic death of the Yue'er girl again, pretended to be unable to bear the bloody scene in front of him, cried out loud, and then walked to his carriage.
The eldest princess who died was Gongzipan's aunt, and it was normal for the little princess to react like this.
The attendants around him thought.
Why is this happening?
Hiding in the carriage alone, Du Xuan was puzzled.
There are too many doubts about the killing of Miss Yue'er, and one of the most important questions is, why did Yue'er appear in that carriage?
He and Yue'er had already predicted that if another killer attacked, the target would be the eldest princess, and staying in Du Xuan's carriage was originally a tacit plan for the two of them to avoid the attack, but why did Yue'er go to that carriage?
Also, who is the murderer and what is his purpose? Is it really as Yue'er guessed before, that it is to provoke the contradictions between Kaiming and Pakistan and provoke the two countries to go to war? If so, who is the one who will benefit the most from the coming storm?
Du Xuan's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know that he would be in a mess at the embassy station, quietly feeling the body temperature of the Yue'er girl who was still under the futon, and a sense of powerless loneliness swallowed him.
In an instant, the sky was bright, and Du Xuan, who had fallen asleep in a blur, woke up vaguely.
turned over and got out of the carriage, and there were already guards sent by Lord Zhao to guard the carriage.
The guards told me that Lord Zhao decided overnight to take the body of the eldest princess and go to the country of Pakistan immediately, the purpose of which was naturally to go to Xingshi on behalf of the enlightened country to ask for the guilt.
The morning was in a hurry, and since the eldest princess of the noble status was dead, there was no need to worry about the bumps in the carriage, and the journey of the mission team was significantly accelerated.
It was not known how much of a shock it would have to the relations between the two countries, and a sense of foreboding hung over everyone's minds, and the huge procession became lifeless and rushed away.
Lord Gou of Ba Guodian followed suit, followed closely behind Lord Zhao, and accompanied him with good words.
In this way, there was originally half a month left, and the team only took ten days to see the capital of Pakistan from afar.
At that time, there were frequent wars between Ba and Chu, and Ba moved westward several times, closer to the side of the Enlightened State.
The further the procession progressed, it came to a long passage. The passage leads directly to the gate of the capital of Pakistan, which is as high as the capital, and the cypress trees are planted on both sides, standing majestically.
Everyone was puzzled, calculating the distance, and the news should have been sent to the capital of Pakistan a long time ago, knowing that after the accident of the eldest princess, Pakistan should have reacted, why did it seem that it was approaching the capital, but there was no movement from Pakistan?
At this moment, the city gate in front of the city opened, and a group of Pakistani musicians came out, but listening to the great music, the bells, drums, reels and other percussion instruments suddenly sounded, and the sound of gold and stone rang in unison, which was actually the joy of celebration!
The next moment, a group of dancers poured out, dancing happily to the music. Ba people are good at dancing, Ba dance is magnificent, sonorous and powerful, originally a dance to boost morale before the war, and later became a necessary dance for priests and celebrations in Pakistan.
Up and down the mission, seeing and smelling, they all looked at each other. How many meanings does this mean? When the eldest princess was killed, instead of showing due apology and sorrow, the Ba people staged a gift to welcome the distinguished guests.
"Lord Gou, a dignified and enlightened country, how can you be humiliated like this?"
Lord Zhao's face sank and he was furious.
Hearing Lord Zhao's anger, the dignified seventh-grade swordsman was also frightened and trembled slightly, and quickly apologized, and his figure rushed straight to the ceremonial team at the gate of the city.
However, he said that the Pakistani Lile team was also stunned when they saw that their pawn was the first to greet them. Isn't this not in accordance with etiquette, shouldn't the Pawn personally escort the enlightened mission to the city gate to receive the highest etiquette of the country?
It wasn't until Master Gou had a black face and asked a question that the Lile team figured out that there was a trouble, and the country of Pakistan only received the messenger's return of the enlightened initiative to propose peace, and no one knew that the eldest princess had been killed on the way to peace.
When Lord Gou heard this, his heart sank, after the eldest princess was attacked, he immediately sent a messenger to report the news, why was the news not delivered?
Lord Gou ordered the song and dance to stop, and told King Ba as soon as possible, while he hurried back to the delegation and gave Lord Zhao a good explanation.
"You are guilty of a great sin! When you enter the city, you see what the king of Ba is. ”
Lord Zhao's black face did not change, and he gave an order, and the anti-guest was the main thing, and he ordered the family envoy to immediately escort the carriage of the eldest princess and go straight to the city gate.
Master Gou didn't dare to interfere and hurriedly followed.
When I entered the city, a group of Pakistani reception officials who had received the latest news greeted them, with embarrassed faces, not knowing whether to express the joy of welcoming the distinguished guests or the sadness of the death of the eldest princess.
"The envoy will go to the city, and the king of Ba will not welcome him, so he will underestimate the enlightened country?"
Lord Zhao still said with a dark face.
"The king has an order, it will be late, and the envoys are tired all the way, but please enter the palace to rest, and the king will give a banquet tomorrow and feast on the envoys. ”
One of the leading officials had already seen that he was not good, so he took a step forward and said cautiously.
Lord Zhao snorted coldly, and this official led the way, led everyone, and walked to a hall dedicated to receiving the mission.
Du Xuan had already gotten out of the carriage and followed the team, his divine sense came out, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, this capital of Pakistan was actually heavily guarded, and he saw the breath of a seven-rank swordsman.
When it was time to enter the palace, Lord Zhao immediately dismissed the irrelevant personnel, leaving only the diplomatic members with official positions to discuss the next countermeasures, and Du Xuan, who had the youngest official position, was also among them.
Lord Zhao raised two questions, one is why the messenger of Pakistan failed to deliver the news to the capital of Pakistan, and the other is that on the night of the attack on the eldest princess, between the enlightened missions, two palace maids who served the eldest princess mysteriously disappeared, what does this incident mean?
"Maybe I should ask, the eldest princess was attacked, who was the biggest beneficiary, who benefited the most, and who was the real culprit behind the scenes. If Ben Gongzi is not mistaken, the messenger of Pakistan should also have encountered an accident. ”
Du Xuan put his hands behind his back, his little short legs took small steps, but his tone was extremely serious.
"What is the intention of stopping the messenger from reporting?"
Lord Zhao asked with an approving look on his face.
"To further exacerbate the contradictions between the two countries. When the family envoy was asking for guilt, Pakistan still knew nothing, and greeted him with ceremonial music, singing and dancing, didn't it just stimulate the anger of the mission?" Du Xuan said.
"Gongzipan's words are reasonable, and we must be careful to deal with them, waiting for the king's messenger to report. ”
