Chapter 032: Escape to the Western Regions
The battle for the throne has always been full of crises and unpredictable undercurrents, and several princes of the Bane family unknowingly start an inexplicable competition.
No one knows what started it, but everyone agrees on the fact that only the victor will sit on the throne and have the right to dominate everything. In order to enjoy this right, you can give everything, even the lives of your family!
After Holline was killed in the Guenla challenge, there was a great shock in the royal capital, and the old Wang faction and the third prince's faction both suspected that the other party was secretly attacking their own forces, and it was difficult for the eldest prince to say anything if he was caught in the middle. The third prince wanted to enter the palace several times to meet the old king, but he was blocked from the palace. The third prince was very uneasy, because he had military power in his hands, and he was often feared by the eldest prince and the old king, and now he had a misunderstanding with the old king, or the kind of misunderstanding that was inexplicable. Is it that after handing over the military power, you will be safe?
On this day, Lao Wang suddenly became interested and wanted to go out hunting, and asked the eldest prince to accompany him.
Lao Wang led the eldest prince to a hillside in the suburbs, and on the uphill there was a tombstone that read: --- the tomb of his beloved brother George---
The eldest prince was very strange and asked, "Father, didn't we come to the countryside to hunt, why did we come to check the grave of a commoner?" I don't understand!"
Lao Wang said mysteriously: "Dig it up!
After the Janissaries dug up the grave, the eldest prince was stunned, there was only one pair of armor in the coffin! Could it be that George was not dead? That kid actually broke off his shell? I was actually deceived? How could it be? That kid was just a slave-born clay leg!
Lao Wang said: "Son, it seems that this time the matter is not simple, either this kid cheated to death, or your subordinates deceived you." Whether it's the former or the latter, you've invisibly offended a powerful magician!
The eldest prince was dumbfounded and said, "Impossible! No way, Slade told me that he had died in Gunn's challenge! How could it be a fraudulent death? Slade can't lie to me!"
Lao Wang said worriedly: "If you think that Slade can be your good helper, then you are very wrong! I hope you will not be so stupid in the future, otherwise how can I rest assured that I will pass the throne to you in the future?"
A hint of gloom flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, and then it seemed that he had made some decision, and it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer... No, it's just me, it's only me who can sit on the throne, I have to do something!
A month later, the old king suddenly fell ill and died in the palace, and everyone knew that the old king's health was deteriorating, but the old king's death seemed too sudden, and the eldest prince succeeded to the throne smoothly.
After the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, the second prince, who had always been opposed to the eldest prince, was completely obedient, and the second prince swore allegiance to the new king to Lady Luck! However, the third prince, who had always been very close to the eldest prince, suddenly fled the royal capital and led the northern army to rebel a month later! The situation in the country of Da Yu instantly became confusing!
George, Tina, and Simpson did not go directly to the west, but made a detour first to the north, and then all the way west along the border!
In many places, patrols often beat the autumn breeze on civilians, making the already difficult civilians live in purgatory.
After seeing all this, George suddenly had a very strange idea, George wanted to overthrow the rule of the Da Yu kingdom and establish a new dynasty that would allow most of the common people to live a good life through their own efforts and labor.
After a three-month detour, George finally arrived in the western part of the country.
After arriving at the western border, George felt that the vegetation had suddenly decreased a lot, and most of the area was the Gobi or even the desert.
There are no crops here, occasionally you can see a shepherd driving a flock of sheep by, the shepherd is often dull-eyed and thin, it seems that the exploitation is very serious, no wonder everyone has a day but, they are rushing to be a horse thief!
Finally, George, Tina, and Simpson arrive at a small market.
George said: "During this time, I have only eaten jerky, and I haven't even seen a few cities along the way, so I can go to the market today to buy some delicious food!"
Tina said, "You know how to eat, so ask where Ataya Basel is!"
The group found an open-air stall, asked for nearly 3 boiled mutton, and then began to eat and drink.
At the checkout, the owner of the stall actually asked George for 5 gold coins!
You must know that a daily pot of 5 catties of meat is only 10 gold coins, and 1 gold coin can be exchanged for 100 silver coins.
The stall owner saw that George had no intention of paying: "Several, let me be honest with you, I have already seen that you are foreigners, I'm sorry, we are outsiders, originally 5 gold coins were enough, but now I want to leave your woman behind, and the man will be captured as a slave!"
George sighed secretly: "The country of Da Yu is not only the internal erosion of the country, but even the folk customs in the place far away from Emperor Gao have become like this, and it seems that it is not far from the country of death." ”
George said: "Boss, that's right, we are actually a caravan, if you know the caravan, please make it convenient!"
The stall owner laughed: "Yo! Characters are here today, the horse gang? Just a few of you are from the horse gang? The thin man in the back is obviously a fallen nobleman, although you are strong, but there is one thing you ignore, the uncle of the horse gang is wearing a scimitar with him, and those poor ghost troops in Da Yu country only prepare bronze knives!"
George was also angry, it seemed that he had to be rough today, so he said: "Okay, I originally wanted to give the money for this meal just now, but now I am not ready to give it, and besides, you have to prepare 20 catties of jerky for grandpa, if the preparation is not complete, grandpa will let you know what kind of uncle of the horse gang is!"
When the stall owner heard that the kid on the other side was so crossy, he yelled: "I really don't believe in evil, brothers, don't hide, there is a young master pretending to be the master of the horse gang!"
At this time, several sturdy men with large wooden ties appeared around, and one of them had a dagger in his waist.
The stall owner said, "Brothers, go ahead, break this kid's leg!"
After that, the people around us began to attack us one after another.
I said, "Tina, you can do it!
Tina sighed and said, "Hey, let me do such a boring thing!" After a few staggered steps, she returned to the small table where we were sitting, and continued to take a piece of lamb bone and began to gnaw on it.
I saw that several big men who were still showing off their might just now fell down one by one, the whole process was clean and neat, and Grape also threw the money bag in the waist of one of the big men on the table by the way.
At this time, the stall owner shouted: "It turns out that it is really the grandfather of the horse gang! This is too neat! Grandpa, don't you want 20 pounds of jerky? I'll get it right away!"
After a while, the stall owner prepared 20 catties of dry meat and 10 catties of dry food for us, and we continued westward.
