Chapter 550: The Eight Princes Incident (I)
The assassin said in a flat tone, "I didn't decide this, I said I was just acting on orders." www.biquge.info The eighth prince didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and then roared angrily: "Who is it, who asked you to kill me?" The assassin didn't even look at him, and said coldly, "It's useless for you to shout at me, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I can alleviate your pain." There was a look of despair in the eyes of the eighth prince, and he said in a low voice: "As long as you promise to let my wife and daughter go, I will cooperate with me whatever you want." At this moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, you copy this again." ”
The eighth prince took a note thrown at this moment, only to see that the content on it was that Ashina Yandu and Temule had colluded to overthrow the rule of the Golden Horde. The eighth prince didn't quite understand the intention at this moment, and looked at him puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?" At this moment, he said coldly: "Just write it down, don't ask more." The eighth prince nodded, took out a pen and paper, and began to write the contents of the note.
It turned out that the father of the eighth prince was an enemy with the father of Ashina Tumen in his early years, and the two tribes often went to war, at that time the Tiele tribe was the iron slave of the Rouran people, and often betrayed other brothers of the Turkic tribe for their own interests, because the Ashina people looked down on them, and often fought with them for the fertile pastures of water and grass, and in the Turkic unification war of the Golden Horde, Ashina Tumen was the last tribe to submit,
If it weren't for Tumennian to eliminate Rouran in the Tiele Tribe, it is estimated that it would be difficult to get together with the Golden Horde, and it is precisely because of this that the people of the Tiele tribe often think that the Ashina tribe has ambitions to compete for the throne of the Great Turkic Khan, so although they are unanimous on the outside, in fact, they have long been intrigue and deceit on the inside. Soon the eighth prince wrote the note, and at this moment he took it and looked at it with satisfaction.
The eighth prince wanted to say something, but at this moment, he picked up the knife and cut his throat cleanly with the dagger in his hand. I saw that he looked at this moment with empty eyes, and the sound of grunting in his throat was not able to say a word. The Assassin kicked him out of the carriage and opened the door, only to see a trembling pile of silk cloth behind the innermost pile of silk cloth, apparently hiding a man inside.
The Assassin said, "I promise him not to kill you, you can go and ask for help when I leave, remember that we will definitely take the throne of the Turks, and you Tiele people will become our vassals." Although his accent was not very standard, at least the people in the carriage could definitely understand what it meant. The Assassin jumped out of the carriage, got on his horse, looked back at the carriage, and then walked away without looking back.
Yan Du learned that the eighth prince died very close to his own territory, and he felt shocked at that time, and faintly felt that this matter must not be simple, he immediately sent someone to collect the body, and then sent a fast horse to send the news to the Golden Horde. Looking at the dead body of the eighth prince on the carpet, Yan Du's face was cloudy, there had never been such a painful thing, if the aftermath of the incident in Koro had not subsided, then now the death of the eighth prince has become very weird. Some people with good deeds inevitably began to spread false rumors that the Ashina tribe had ulterior secrets.
At this time, Zhao Gongming came in, Ayuhuan followed, and then some other important ministers came in, Zhao Gongming was the first to step forward to look at the dead body, this eighth prince is indeed a great look, but unfortunately his face is pale and bloodless at the moment, and he is lying there straight without a trace of anger. Ayuhuan said softly: "Regent, the family of the eighth prince has settled down and is temporarily living in the minister's camp. ”
Yan Du nodded and didn't speak, Zhao Gongming said: "Regent, the most important thing for us now is to find out who killed the eighth prince first, according to my questioning with the princess and the princes, they only said that they were chased and killed by a small assassin when they passed by the grassland, this assassin was masked all over his body and couldn't see who it was, but the accent has a little bit of the taste of the Tiele tribe but a little bit of the taste of the Ashina tribe, but the language is very rusty, and it doesn't seem like an authentic Turk. ”
Yan Du sat on it and rubbed his forehead and asked, "Then what is your conclusion?" Zhao Gongming immediately replied, "The minister thinks that this is very likely an assassin from out of town by someone who is hostile to us. The purpose is to stiffen and mess up our relationship with the Tiele Ministry. Yan Du nodded and said, "I agree with you when you say this, but at present, we know too little about the whereabouts of the assassins, and there is no way to start at all." ”
Zhao Gongming looked at Ayuhuan and gave him a look, which means you say. Ayuhuan then stepped forward and said: "We don't know much about the assassins at the moment, but it has been discovered that there is indeed a person in our northern border who is very similar to the above statement, but this person then went to the southeast, if you extrapolate from the direction, it is the territory of the Gaoche people in the south, and the territory of the Khitans in the east. ”
Yandu's head is getting more and more painful, so why is it still involved with the high-speed car people and the Khitans? It's getting weirder and weirder. Then Zhao Gongming said: "At present, we still need to secretly investigate this matter, but as for the Golden Horde Khan's side, they are already on their way, and we must first think about how to deal with his interrogation." Because he knew that the Golden Horde's attitude towards Yandu was not very good before, Zhao Gongming was worried that this accident was likely to make the two sides more and more stiff, and the relationship would enter a freezing point.
Yan Du was even more annoyed when he heard this, these things were completely unexpected, he thought that all the things that would go according to his vision when he killed Koro himself, but he didn't expect that one accident after another made his plan impossible to realize at all, it looked more like a joke. At this time, the Golden Horde, who had a very bad temper, broke in again, and he felt that he was under a lot of psychological pressure at the moment, and it was easy to go berserk.
Ayuhuan comforted: "At present, we are preparing for some of the work we can do in advance, including some funeral matters, and only show our humility to outsiders first, so that even if someone criticizes us in the future, we will at least not take the blame." As for the Assassins' whereabouts, I will continue to send people to investigate them as soon as I have the latest news and information, and I will inform the Regent as soon as I have the latest movements and news. Yan Du nodded and sighed, "Let's do this first." ”
The Golden Horde Khan and Liu Ruyan are drinking tea and tea in the house, the green smoke in the incense burner is scattered, the weather is also very good today, the sun is bright and the breeze is smoking, although the temperature is very low close to zero, but it still can't hide Liu Ruyan's happy mood, I don't know how she has been in a good mood since she got up this morning, and always feels that something good will come to the door today, and she is naturally very satisfied when she sees the sunny weather.
The Golden Horde Khan came to visit her very early, and he was always worried about the beauty in his heart. Don't look at him as a man in his forties and in his fifties, but he has a young heart, and he is not inferior in the pursuit of love and beauty. This can be seen from the fact that he has worked very hard to satisfy Liu Ruyan in sexual affairs, although the two of them are not together much, but every time he strives to make Liu Ruyan get the greatest satisfaction, you must know that with a status like him, there is no need to try to please any woman, and those women will rush to offer their bodies.
