Chapter 657: Suspicions are thick
After closing the letter, Lu Heng licked his lips, shook his head and smiled.
Ah Gui beside him saw that Gongzi showed such a happy smile for the first time in the past few days, and his heart became happy, scratching his head and laughing.
The same is true of the Yanyun Guards, who were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Although they didn't know why the military advisor was so happy, they did know one thing, that is, as long as the military advisor showed such a bright smile, all problems would be solved.
Lu Heng nodded and smiled.
But in his heart, he had mixed feelings, and sighed softly: "Desert fox, desert fox!" ”
A light sigh represents a thousand words.
In the end, the wave in my heart was gradually replaced by a deep emotion.
Wang Liye is heroic, and his military attainments are definitely not lower than his own. And even in some ways, better than yourself.
Such an outstanding character, but he is willing to live in seclusion in Mobei and be a peerless sword in Lu Heng's hands.
Such friendship made Lu Heng really moved.
I still remember that at the beginning, Lu Heng once asked him: With your talent, if you enter the government, you will definitely become a generation of famous ministers. Aren't you aggrieved to do things under me like this?
At that time, Wang Liye smiled slightly, and after a long time, he said something that moved Lu Heng very much.
"Death to a confidant!"
Wang Liye did not live up to Lu Heng's trust, three years of operation, struggle in the sand and wind, and now, the commercial kingdom on the Silk Road, the Blue Sea Empire. Under the operation of the Wang family and the Ouyang family, it has taken shape.
Tens of thousands of people, thousands of merchants.
Although there are only 10,000 people, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong. A well-disciplined army.
No one knows how this country, which seems to be located outside the Great Zhou Dynasty and rose overnight, came into being, and who founded it.
The surrounding countries only know that this country is rich and powerful.
It's so powerful that no one dares to touch every plant and tree in this country.
This kingdom shouted a slogan that spread all over the world during the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago: those who offend our land. Even if it is far away, it will be punished.
And, they're doing it well.
Lu Heng sighed lightly, closed the letter, and put it in his arms.
His eyes looked at the front of him with heavy eyes. On the blazing bonfire, the dancing flames looked calm and motionless.
Although, the emperors of today and the emperors of the future. It's all good for him.
However, Lu Heng still planned his own retreat in the worst case.
He is now. No more than a single person in the previous life.
He also has a large family, so. He has to think about his family.
In doing so, there is no disobedience. It's just a way out.
That's it!
……
Golden Wolf Beach.
A noisy scene.
Warriors wearing masked iron helmets and Crusader uniforms, with typical medieval-style broadswords pinned to their waists, rode tall horses of European origin and assembled outside the camp.
The night sky was dyed as white by the roaring light of the fire, and the dull sound of the horn resounded throughout the camp.
"What's going on?" As a knight passed by the gate of the camp, he asked the sentry standing guard.
The sentry smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Honorable knight, I heard that three adults were killed!" Lord Cardinal, gather the soldiers to surround and suppress those abominable bugs! ”
"Assassinated again?" The knight was puzzled, "Who is it?" ”
It seems that this situation has been happening for several days in a row, and more than a dozen priests have been assassinated by God without knowing it.
The shadow of death, unconsciously, shrouded the sky over Golden Wolf Beach.
The brothers in the camp, trembling in fear, did not sleep well for several days in a row. Now, it seems, one is more haggard than the other.
The sentry thought for a moment and said respectfully, "It's the three pastors of the church!" ”
When the knight heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's it! ”
After a sigh that seemed to be quite catch-up, the knight turned his horse's head and rode leisurely, ready to leave the camp.
If it's not his brother, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, it's the church guys, uh...... Ahem.
Seeing that the sentry was looking at him strangely, the knight coughed, and reprimanded angrily: "These bedbugs are really damned, even the respected priest dares to kill them, they deserve to die for their crimes, they deserve to die for their crimes!" ”
The sentry was suddenly solemn, and the level of respect for this knight lord went up a new level.
My lord is really a devout disciple of God, and when he heard that the priests who had been killed with a thousand knives had been killed, instead of showing the slightest schadenfreude, he was so angry.
I'm not as good as an adult!
The sentry sighed in his heart as he watched the knight leave.
Two years ago, a group of fierce Turks set foot on the Western continent.
This group of heretics did not believe in God, let alone recognize the status of the church.
After going back and forth, fierce clashes broke out between the two sides.
But what I didn't expect was that this group of Turks was extremely brave and brave, and the cavalry fought like a divine help.
After several battles, the crusaders of the Church were defeated.
The Turks officially set foot on the land of Europe and became a force to be reckoned with in Europe.
As the Turkic peoples became more and more active, the influence of the Church diminished.
Under these circumstances, many samurai, who had previously believed in the omnipotence of the Holy See, began to have an impact on the Church.
And, with the emergence of various heretical doctrines in Europe, the dominance of the Church is now in jeopardy.
This time, the Holy See summoned the major lords to participate in foreign wars, and did not intend to rebuild the majesty of the Church with a brilliant victory.
However, the intention is the intention, but the reality is different.
Along the way, the crusaders of the Eastern Crusade were sniped by countries along the way, and the road to the east was difficult and difficult.
Although, they have now reached the borders of the Eastern Empire.
But nowadays the Crusaders. Compared with when he first set off, there is a world of difference in terms of morale and military appearance.
Especially a month ago. The brainless cardinal unexpectedly caught the attention of the Duchy of the Blue Sea.
As a result, the opponent's 3,000 men and horses killed 5,000 crusaders who lost their armor and left behind 1,000 corpses.
That battle, like the first snow after winter, gave this group a thousand miles to trek. The future of the lone crusaders cast a shadow of uncertainty.
Now, with the war looming, more than a dozen priests who played a role in faith in the army have been killed in succession.
Not a good sign!
The sentry headed towards the outside of the camp. The crowd took a look. He sighed worriedly, deeply worried about his future.
Outside the camp, thousands of people came out of the camp, surrounding the scene.
The center of the crowd. There were three corpses on display.
All three corpses were dressed in priest's robes.
On the side, the cardinal archbishop, his head uncombed and his face unwashed. Draped in a cloak, he pointed to several knights in charge of the night watch. It's like a crazy scolding.
Several knights bow their heads and remain silent, allowing the protagonist to spit out saliva all over his mouth. Absolutely still.
At their feet, however, were the corpses of several soldiers.
It was clear that the soldiers had been killed in order to appease the bishop's anger.
A knight bent down, lifted the white cloth and looked at it, and was shocked to find that the three priests had only one fatal wound.
Eyebrows......
From the words of several sentinels, it was known that the three priests had traveled together.
However, at this time, the position of their hit arrow turned out to be exactly the same. It's all in the center of the eyebrows.
What does this mean.
This shows that the assassins hidden in the shadows are all first-class masters.
At the same time, the three of them fired three arrows at the same time, and all of them hit the target.
And, you know, it's night!
Such a skillful fit, exquisite technology.
Hiss ......%
Terrible opponent!
After feeling the horror of the other party, the knight took a closer look at the wound on the eyebrows of the three priests.
When he saw the small hole in the priest's head, the knight frowned, then turned his head and asked the soldier beside him, "Where are the arrows?" ”
Hearing this, the soldier hurriedly bowed down and sent the three arrows he had collected.
The knight stretched out his hand and pinched the sharp arrow, and his face suddenly became even more ugly.
The arrow was a foot long, the arrow was narrow and sharp, and it also carried three blood grooves. Extremely targeted, it can be said that this arrow was specifically designed to deal with crusaders wearing chain mail.
This kind of arrow, he had only seen it when he was fighting with the Duchy of the Blue Sea.
The knight's face was gloomy and he stood up on his knees. He walked up to the cardinal with an arrow. Holding the arrow in both hands, he said respectfully: "My lord, I think, you should take a look at this!" ”
The cardinal, who was scolding with a dry mouth, glanced at it, waved his hand angrily and said, "Isn't it just three arrows, what's there to see?" ”
When the knight heard this, he was speechless, glanced at the cardinal in a stupid hat, and cursed in his heart, what a fucking idiot!
However, the other party's status is there, and he can only say this in his heart.
If you really say it, you will have to go to the gallows tomorrow!
Seeing the impatience on the cardinal's face, the knight was patient and said slowly: "My lord, this kind of arrow is only available in the Duchy of the Blue Sea!" ”
The cardinal frowned, puzzled, "What can it say?" ”
The corners of the knight's mouth twitched, and he wanted to rush up and slaughter the fool with a single sword.
After taking a deep breath, the knight raised his head and said to the cardinal archbishop worriedly, "This shows that the Tieda tribe has already allied with the Principality of the Blue Sea!" ”
The knight slowly raised his hand, pointed to the west, and said, "And the Duchy of the Blue Sea is right behind us!" ”
"And then?" Cardinal Murne asked. Seeing the knight's stumbling appearance, the cardinal said impatiently, "What do you want to say?" ”
The knight smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "In other words, my lord, we are surrounded!" ”
At this moment, the cardinal's face finally changed!
