Shagora ushered in the forty-eighth year of his life.

Looking back on the first half of his life, it was really fateful. As a member of the Shadow Brotherhood, he has no memories of his childhood other than pain. Every day there was nothing but hellish training, pain, tears, beatings. With strength, wisdom and luck, Shagora became the best of the Brotherhood, rising to prominence at a young age, becoming an important backbone and finally the top leader of the Brotherhood. It was the most glorious time of his life, but it had nothing to do with happiness. During that time, Chagora's life was filled with assassination and bloodshed, and even he himself believed that he had been born into this world to kill people.

Until a more powerful talent rises, and the glory of Xia Gora collapses. That is Brudasmo, a man of strength and ambition. Believing that the Shadow Brotherhood had made the wrong bet, Brudarsmo defected to the current King of Yaqui, Kadir, and became the King's exclusive killer organization. At the same time, he pushed a group of elders, including Xia Gora, out of the core of the Brotherhood, and then monopolized the power of the Brotherhood, turning the Shadow Brotherhood into his personal possession.

In the battle with Brudasmo, the old school suffered heavy losses, and most of them became disheartened and began to live in seclusion, but the young and powerful Shagora was unwilling to submit to Brudasmo, and resolutely joined the employer of the year, the only person who could compete with the king, the royal brother Aiyukamen.

In order to defeat his former rivals, Chagora did the same thing as Brudasmo, only on a smaller scale. Even Châgora herself often laughs at herself in her heart. The only way to defeat your opponent is to use the same means as your opponent. Until he met Li Tianhao.

Since following Li Tianhao. Shagora is no longer a ruthless killer and doesn't even need to deliberately hide in the dark. For the first time, Shagora felt that she was not a tool of physical composition. It's a person. For this reason, he organized his only relative and disciple Mokadu to continue to practice assassination techniques, hoping that one day he could live in the sun and not follow in his footsteps.

Before Li Tianhao left the city of Nirlu, the capital of Parchi, he just said lightly to Xia Gora: "My wife and children will ask you to protect me." ”

Maybe Li Tianhao himself didn't realize the meaning of this sentence for Xia Gera, not an order, but an entrustment, not to kill, but to protect people, which is a person who has always been ordered to investigate. The assassin had a sense of rebirth. After that, while collecting information about Palch and sending it to Li Tianhao, Xia Gora quietly lurked beside Princess Alfrit, planning for her and her daughter Patura's safety.

As time passed, Chagora felt more and more that the atmosphere had changed: the situation in Palci was in danger of getting out of hand.

Although Princess Afrit is the designated heir of King Aylul, it is really because Her Royal Highness the princess is a healthy and lively child, and in terms of governing ability, Princess Afrit can be said to know nothing, and she cannot be compared with Prince Bard at all.

If Prince Bard hadn't been in good health, he would have been a good candidate for the throne. It was a shame that Airul would make the choice he made today. Because his mental condition in his early thirties is much more energetic than that of his son in his early thirties, and Bard has no ability to produce offspring at all, if he is made the crown prince, it will not be long before he has to find a new king from the royal family. Rather than looking for an heir from the side branch at that time, it is better to pass the throne to the princess, and then find a capable son-in-law to continue his lineage. In fact, Airul's plan was a success. Li Tianhao is the best candidate in every aspect.

It's just that Airul has two miscalculations.

The first is that he underestimated Li Tianhao's political ambitions. For Li Tianhao, the status of king is not something he covets. It was the king's name that made the reforms that made Palci stronger. However, the impact of the reforms harmed the interests of the old aristocracy, which led to the polarization of the political situation in Palci.

The second is that he ignored Prince Bud's mood. Originally, doctors estimated that Prince Bard would not live to be thirty years old. His Royal Highness the Prince loves his sister very much, and since he is physically unable to bear the heavy responsibilities of the king, Prince Bud, who is well versed in the way of power, has no objection to making his sister the crown prince. But now the situation is different, Prince Bard not only lived to be thirty years old, but even thirty-two years old and still alive, although his physical condition is still very poor, but there is a possession of women's **, which means that he may give birth to an heir. In this way, the nobles who were dissatisfied with Li Tianhao were stimulated, and the calls for Prince Libud were surging. While the king was being troubled by the nobles every day because of religious issues, some secret actions were quietly and planned. All this escaped the king's sight, but he was inquired about by Shagora.

Shagora knew that if someone sent an assassin to assassinate Princess Alfrit, it would be more than enough to deal with them herself, but if it turned into a coup, it would be beyond her control. Therefore, he sent his adopted son Mokadu to Li Tianhao to deliver a letter urgently.

After Mokadu left, Xia Gora's heart hung in the air, and as the situation he understood changed, the uneasiness in his heart continued to expand, and he knew that time was running out for him, and the other party's preparations were almost complete.

While anxiously waiting, Xia Gora also made some preparations as a last resort. Subsequently, Mokadu's return made Xia Gora breathe a sigh of relief - since Li Tianhao had already reacted, the burden on his shoulders was much lighter. After learning about the situation, Shagora entrusted Mokadu with the task of delivering the message to the Nubian tribe. On the one hand, this matter is a matter of success or failure, and must be completed by someone who can be trusted and skilled in martial arts, and on the other hand, Xia Gora's intuition is very risky to rush to this operation, although Mokado's martial arts are strong, but he lacks actual combat experience, and staying here may not only not help but also hinder his hands.

Just as Shagora had his men in place, several travelers found his hideout. Xia Gora recognized at a glance that the leader of them was none other than Li Tianhao's confidant, the commander of the cavalry of the Dils Army, Mueller.

"Lord Muller, it's been a long time."

Mueller's expression was solemn: "How is the situation now?" Will we still have time to implement our scheduled plan? ”

Xia Gora smiled bitterly: "It's probably still too late." Recently, their whereabouts have become more and more secretive, and it is impossible to fully grasp them. But at least they haven't done it yet, and we still have a chance. ”

"Without further ado, let's get to work." Mueller said, leaning together in the dim light. (To be continued......)
