Chapter 823: Perfect Assassination
"Have you identified the Assassin?"
Timur sat on his throne as if he were the emperor of heaven, although his voice seemed very calm, but his breathing was very rapid, and that heavy breathing sounded like a tiger lying in the forest and gasping, a tiger, even if it was lying there lazily snoring, who would dare to ignore its presence?
In the huge sweat tent, everyone was trembling, and countless beautiful girls in thin shirts and beautiful faces and those eunuchs with white faces and fat bodies and beards under their chins were all prostrate on the ground, with sincere fear on their faces.
The general who stood in front of Timur, trying to control his fears, told Timur the Great that Tibetan Feng had committed suicide by poisoning himself, that his accomplices had escaped from the camp, and that he was now searching.
After a moment's hesitation, he took the plunge to report his friend's misfortune and sudden loss of the token, but he immediately added that he had taken the necessary remedial measures and sent the highest level of security signal, and that even if the enemy stole the token, it would be difficult for him to escape.
At this time, he had already found out that his token had been stolen, but he didn't dare to say that if the Great Khan in anger wanted him to die, it was just a matter of one sentence, anyway, because of the sudden loss of the token, the remedial measures that could be taken had already been done, even if he told the truth, it would not help the whole incident. He is the guard general of the Chinese army, and he has taken advantage of his position to get another token for himself.
Timur was still angry, and his anger was not because he was assassinated tonight, although he was an old tiger, but he had seen many battles and more dangerous scenes in his life, how could he take a lame assassination to heart, and he was angry that it had disturbed his pleasure while he was happy.
He waved his hand coldly and said, "The assassins must be found, and they must be uncovered to find out the mastermind behind them, but this matter does not need to be known to the three armies, it is really disappointing!" ”
"Yes, yes! Obey! ”
Relieved, he hurriedly bowed to Timur and retreated quickly.
Timur took a few quick breaths, and phlegm sounded in his throat, and the blonde Roman princess, who was kneeling beside her, quickly picked up the spittoon and moved in front of him with two steps, and raised the spittoon high with both hands.
Timur coughed a few more times like pulling a bellows, spat out a mouthful of phlegm, turned his head to Gaius, the chief eunuch, and commanded: "Call me Hamit at once, my asthma is terrible again!" ”
Gaius, the obese eunuch, hurriedly agreed, and walked out with a fat body.
At this time, on the edge of Timur's military camp, Gabbal led twenty-four dead soldiers to rush and kill.
One step ahead was life and self-reliance, but they could not rush out, and the enemy was endless, and they were already surrounded by a steady stream of enemies.
Gabon Er swung his sword to the death, the wounds on his body continued to bleed, the soldiers around him fell one by one, and the enemy continued to increase, and he was completely desperate.
Timur's military camp is a three-layer concentric circle structure, the core part is the army's battalion, this is the inner circle, of course, this inner circle is divided into complex layouts according to the distance of different arms and factions.
On the second level of the inner circle, there is a settlement of merchants and their families who serve the army from all over the world, and there is also an army stationed at the outermost level, who maintains order in this barracks-like city, and this army is mainly composed of the Sabadar militia.
Timur's army consisted of Turkic and Mongol warriors, with a large number of nomadic cavalry being the most powerful part of his army, followed by troops recruited from conquered areas, Transsoksani, Turks, Indians, Iranians, Khorasan and Sisdanis, Afghans, Turkmens, Azabyanis, Persians, Iraqis, Armenians, and so on.
These armies have their best tactical tactics, and a large number of troops together constitute Timur's army system, in addition to his Sabadar militia, the so-called militia is different from the modern definition of militia, they are also the most outstanding soldiers, and they are quite well equipped, but they are all composed of infantry, and they are the best at city defense and siege.
This army was stationed in the outermost part of the city, protecting the main force of their army and the traveling merchants who served the army, and they did not prohibit the entry and exit of personnel at ordinary times, and their role was only equivalent to the defenders of the city gate, responsible for maintaining order here, but when the order to guard was given, they immediately "closed" the city gate, turning the entire barracks into an iron bucket that could not be splashed with water.
Gabbal could no longer retreat, he had been so loud as he rushed this way, and the lookout posts of the Sabadar militia had already seen them, and if they suddenly retreated at this time, they would certainly be alerted, but they went up with stiff hair, because the order of the supreme security had been issued, and they would definitely be blocked, and it was absolutely impossible to leave.
At this time, Gaybon was sitting on his horse, and he had the feeling of wanting to laugh out loud, and he really wanted to laugh like crazy.
It's really funny, if he didn't leave with his heart, but saw that the opportunity was wrong, immediately took off his forged military uniform and buried it in the sand, and then changed back into ordinary clothes, mixed among these hundreds of thousands of civilians, it was not easy to find them, maybe their excuses would be limited for a few days, but in the end there was a great chance to escape, but now it was he who took the initiative to put his neck under the enemy's butcher's knife.
But, as ridiculous as it may be, does he have a choice? He didn't know what was happening in Timur's barracks, but from the analysis of the warning situation, the so-called seamless assassination had been declared a failure, and of course he had to flee as soon as possible and inform His Highness to deal with the situation. His value is not to preserve himself and the twenty-four dead soldiers, but to preserve His Highness.
Now, he can only go up hard, but he is also a soldier of the Timurid Empire, he knows very well what is going on in this army, since the other party has issued the highest level of security order, then even soldiers who have official duties are not allowed to leave, this order was issued, obviously because someone has discovered that the token is lost.
If you can't get out in front, there will be soldiers as big as wolves and tigers rushing out from behind, and they will be wandering out like them...... The Soldier will definitely be under scrutiny, as the loss of the token means that the Assassin will be disguised as one of his own. Although the flame signal could not accurately tell the defenders in front of them the number of the lost token, the soldiers who came out of the Chinese army camp to check it would definitely know about it, and at that time......
Gaboner had no second choice, he could only draw his knife, like a wolf falling into a trap, and ordered his people with red eyes: "Kill!" Rush out one by one! Be sure to send the news back! ”
The Sabadar militia is very strong in combat, although they have the heart of death, but the number of Gabbal is too small, they are like a group of moths without hesitation into the flames, the struggle is futile, and there are fewer and fewer people around Gabbar......
In the sweat tent, Dr. Hamit gave Timur a very detailed examination and comforted him: "Dear Great Khan, you don't have to worry, you just drank too much wine and your emotions are too excited, so today's asthma attack is particularly bad, please sweat as soon as possible after taking the medicine to ease your emotions, and you will be fine with a good rest." ”
At this time, Timur was already panting even more, his old face was swollen red, and he was panting heavily, and after listening to Hammit's words, Timur just made a gesture to him to hurry up and take medicine, and Hamet immediately opened the medicine box.
Because he was Timur's attending physician, and Timur's various diseases were usually treated by him, he was very clear about the various chronic diseases that Timur suffered, and the corresponding medicines had already been prepared. At this time, he hurriedly took out a packet of asthma treatment powder and poured it into the cup...... A few more spoonfuls of honey were added, and as soon as they were stirred evenly, Timur, who was having difficulty breathing, snatched the cup and drank the liquid in one gulp.
Maybe it was because the medicine really had a wonderful effect, maybe it was a psychological effect, Timur soon felt much more comfortable, his heart no longer beat so fast, and he no longer had the feeling of inhaling desperately, but it was difficult to breathe air into his lungs, the tightness in his chest was reduced a lot, Timur gently stroked his chest, and his face softened.
Hamit closed the medicine box and said to Timur: "Great Khan, please rest, the minister will sleep outside your tent tonight, if the Great Khan has anything uncomfortable, you can summon the minister in at any time!" ”
"Hmm!"
Timur did not show much of an imperial shelf to the doctors and scholars, he nodded slightly, and Hamit lifted the burial box and retreated.
Gaius, the chief chamberlain, hurriedly ran up, waved his hands like flies, and said in a sharp voice: "Go out, go out, let the Great Khan have a good rest, you two, hurry up and serve the Great Khan and sleep!" ”
The two beautiful maidens appointed by Gaius to warm up the Khan tonight remained, while the other women and chamberlains all withdrew, and the wide tent immediately became empty, and the two maidens gently picked up Timur and untied his clothes, and Gaius extinguished the oil lamps in the tent one by one, leaving only the light of a large butter candle on the table.
He went out at last, crept to the tent door, and when he looked back, the two beautiful girls had stripped Timur the Great and helped his old body to bed, and Gaius hurriedly lowered the tent curtains, yawned, and went back to rest in his tent. Tonight, he also drank a lot of wine, and the wine came up, so sleepy......

Running wildly all night, as anxious as the star
At this time, there was a faint glimmer of white light, because of the moment's incessant galloping, the horses were already foaming at the mouth, and could no longer take a step, and if they were urged to continue walking, the speed would be as slow as an ox, and the horses would be exhausted to death.
By this time, they had come to a mountain pass, a hill, which was not very high, because there were no inhabitants nearby, and no one had gone up the mountain to cut wood and wood, so the trees were growing and very dense.
It is said that Sehazhi, who was in pain, was sitting on the horse at the moment, and his face was not very good-looking. Although he had taken the antidote in advance and immediately induced vomiting after leaving the Chinese army camp, and the dose of poison he had taken was insufficient to be fatal, he was still tossed enough.
There is no way, none of them can imitate the epileptic seizure vividly, and they have to hide so many well-informed artists who have traveled from south to north, in order to make the onset realistic and have no flaws, the boss has to sacrifice the ego and fulfill the big self, he eats one of the several poisons sent by Harry.
Chen Dong and Ye An were also tired enough, they ran non-stop for nearly three hours, the two big legs were wooden, and the farts were in pain, but they couldn't rest at this time, after everyone rushed to the mountain pass, Chen Dong immediately drove his horse into the valley.
In the valley in the early morning, the first rays of sunlight have not yet shone, it is still dark and gloomy, Chen Dong raised his head and let out a wolf howl, the wolf's howl echoed in the valley for a long time, and a figure suddenly appeared in a dense forest, leading a few horses and walking towards him quickly. The two are converging...... After whispering a few words in a hurry, they drove out of the valley together, and the person leading the horse was Liu Yujue.
It was too late to be polite when the two met, and Xia Xun immediately ordered: "Change horses!" ”
They dismounted, their legs fluttering, and their minds dizzy, as if a small boat was riding the wind and waves, and they were stepping on the deck of the small boat.
Long-distance running is common, but even if it is a person who has lived on horseback since childhood, the so-called long-distance running cannot run as fast as them, no matter what kind of running, it is always necessary to maintain the combat effectiveness of people and horses, which is destined to be impossible to run wildly at the speed of a sprint, but they have run for nearly three hours with the speed of a sprint, and the horses are of course tired to death, and they are about to fall apart.
After getting used to it a little, they began to prepare nervously, all the black robes on their bodies were taken off and concentrated together and stuffed into the dense bushes, they changed into ordinary Western Regions travel clothes, and the saddle sheath on the horseback was all removed and replaced with those horses with full strength and energy, and then slapped down, blasting those tired horses away.
Then everyone got on their horses and galloped away like a gust of wind......
A red cloud became brighter and brighter on the horizon, and suddenly, as if the sun had jumped with all its might, it suddenly jumped out of the cloud...... The brilliant yang rice was suddenly sprinkled all over the earth.
On the surface of the medicine killing water (now the Syr Darya), the golden snake writhed happily.
The sound of rushing water sent a light boat down with the waves.
The river is so fast that there is almost no need to paddle the moon, and the boat rushes down the waves as fast as possible, and it is enough to control the rudder to prevent the boat from spinning or hitting the reef.
Ah Dong and Ye An are both from Jiangnan Water Town, not only know water, but also make good boats, at this time they are taking turns to control the tail rudder, and it doesn't take much effort to take the helm, but they are really exhausted, so two people have to take turns to operate. Others fell on their backs in the cabin, even Cyrin and Jeanne.
I'm really tired, my body has fallen apart, and I really can't care about my image. Fortunately, their feet are in the direction of the bow of the boat, and there are only their men and the little girl Tang Sai'er on the bow, so even if the posture is unsightly, others can't see it.
Ke Cha Sehazhi was originally a person with a very strong physique, but at this moment he was lying on the boat, like a woman who had been raped a hundred times, his face was pale and he was out of breath.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind, and the old cargo of Sehazhi was seasick!
Except for Chen Dong and Ye An at the stern of the boat, the only one who was still sitting was Xia Xun.
Xia Xun was also very tired, but he was so excited, so he couldn't lie down, he had to sit in the bow of the boat, facing the wind, looking at the waves, so that his mood could calm down.
"Godfather, everyone's butts are turned upside down, and they are all numb......"
Tang Sai'er pouted, pitifully coquettish to Xia Xun, Xia Xun laughed, and said, "Come, godfather rub it!" ”
The big hand was covered on the smooth little butt with elasticity, the hand felt very good, Xia Xun kneaded it like kneading dough, Tang Sai'er squinted his eyes, moaned comfortably, fell into his arms, and fell asleep after a while. She hadn't closed her eyes that night, galloping on her horse, exhausted, and really tired.
"Guogong, let's ...... Did it work? If I don't, my sin will be in vain! ”
Sehazhi couldn't vomit anymore, he leaned on the boat and retched for a while, suddenly a wave hit, and it was hitting his face, his face was full of water, but he was much more sober, he didn't care about wiping his face, he turned over lazily, lay back in the cabin, and asked Xia Xun weakly.
The whole plan, everyone only knows one part of it, and only Xia Xun and Liu Yujue know the whole content of the whole plan, so until now, they don't know what they did for the purpose of what they did, and they don't know what others have done, no wonder they have this question.
Xia Xun's hand was still on Tang Sai'er's little fart, but it had been changed to patting, he gently patted Tang Sai'er's little fart, and looked ahead with a smile. The golden snake on the broad water surface is constantly pressed to the bottom of the boat by the bow of the ship, crushed, and in front of it is still twisted countless golden snakes, on both sides of the bank are reeds and weeds more than one person high, as the boat passes, from time to time there are wild ducks and other birds flying from the grass and infinite vitality.
Xia Xun said slowly: "My plan is to start with my discovery of Harry Sultan's current predicament......"
At the beginning, Xia Xun knew about the fierce struggle within the Timurid Empire, which he knew as early as when he rushed to the Western Regions to collect political, military, and economic intelligence on the Timurid Empire, and he initially wanted to use this to reach an agreement with the Sultan of Hari, and the two sides cooperated on the battlefield.
Of course, this cooperation is conditional on Sultan Harry returning him safely to Xiliang.
But unexpectedly, the fourth prince Shaharu and the crown prince Pixinma Heima actually took the lead and slandered Timur to plot Hari Sultan's support for the army and plot against him. Harry Sultan did not dare to send troops without authorization, in fact, because of the experience of his genius cousin, he did not want to be slandered for entering the army, but he did not expect to be cautious, or slandered, and he was about to be robbed of military power.
