Time passed day by day, and Qin Dong knew very well that once the news of Dadan's defeat and death in Elak spread, then the Xiongnu Empire would be torn apart, and the other Hu peoples who had previously been attached to the Xiongnu Empire would definitely no longer obey the orders of the royal court, nor would they obey the orders of the local Xiongnu generals.

Now that Edica is his father-in-law, Qin Dong believes that Edika himself must be not hostile to him, but Qin Dong does not dare to guarantee that Edika's people are not hostile to him, especially those military generals, will they instigate or even coerce Edika to rebel?

After thinking about it, Qin Dong decided to take advantage of the fact that the news of Da Dan Yu Erak's defeat and death had not yet spread, and take the lead in attacking Edika, and then blame the Ostrogoths and take over the military power immediately when the Skir people lost their king.

On the night of the end of the interrogation, Liu San reported to Qin Dong: "Due to the continuous heavy snowfall in the past few days, the thatched houses inhabited by the Skir people in many places have been crushed by the heavy snow, causing many people to be buried in the heavy snow, especially in the small town of Blaze, which is located a hundred kilometers to the west, where most of the houses were blown down by the heavy wind and snow, and everyone in the town was affected, so Edika, as the king of the Skir people, will go to Blaze tomorrow to have a look, and by the way, he will direct the disaster relief matters." I think this is an opportunity!"

The decision to kill Edika was something Qin Dong had already considered, so he didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Okay, you have arranged and planned this matter properly, and you must succeed in one blow." You must not fail, and afterwards you have to pretend that it was the Ostrogoths who did it! ”

"Understood!"

It was already late when Qin Dong returned to the palace, and as soon as he walked into the backyard, he heard the sound of smashing things. The voice came from Sula's side, and after a while, he saw a maid crying and running out of the western courtyard, and he stopped and called the maid: "You, come here!" ”

The maid sobbed and walked over with small steps and saluted Qin Dong: "King! ”

Qin Dong said: "What's going on in the West Courtyard?" ”

"King Qiqi, I don't know why Princess Sula has always picked on our thorns in the past two days, and often loses her temper for no reason!"

After hearing this, Qin Dong understood that the woman in Sulana was pregnant. The pregnant woman often had a bad temper, and he waved his hand to the maid: "Okay, you go down first!" ”

"Yes. King! ”

After seeing the maid leave, Qin Dong walked into the West Garden with his hands behind his back, and the maids who saw Qin Dong along the way saluted and called the king after seeing that it was him, and Su La, who was still throwing things, saw Qin Dong coming. He made a vigilant look and said, "What are you doing here?" Get out. Go out, I sue you, I must give birth to the child, if you dare to beat my child's idea, I will fight with you! ”

Qin Dong said with an indifferent expression: "You are wrong, I just came over to see why you lost your temper and why you beat and scolded the maids at every turn." Is it interesting for you to do this? If you're not Edika's daughter, if you're not my princess. What kind of situation would you be in? You're about to be a mother, and you should control your feelings. Tantrums all day long to the child in the belly! ”

Sula immediately said: "It's my child, not yours, don't worry about it!" ”

When Qin Dong heard this, the fierce light in his eyes was great, and he walked up to Sula and said word by word: "I warn you again, this child is our child, if you want to be a good mother, for the sake of the child, I advise you to control your mouth, if the news that you are pregnant with someone else's child spreads, do you think what your people will think of you?" ”

After Qin Dong finished speaking, he turned around and left, he believed that as long as Sura was not a stupid woman who came home, he should understand the weight of these words he said, in fact, Qin Dong wanted to say a few vicious words to vent the depression in his heart, marrying such a pregnant woman as his wife, and there was no relationship between the two parties, this matter was held in Qin Dong's heart and almost suffocated him from internal injuries, it was really uncomfortable not to vent it.

Qin Dong spent the night at Martha's, since he got married, Qin Dong has never spent the night on Sula's side, this phenomenon makes Martha very strange, she has asked Qin Dong several times during this time, why don't you spend the night on Sula's side, Qin Dong asked her rhetorically, how do you know that I haven't slept over there? Sleep doesn't have to be at night, it's okay during the day! In fact, when answering Martha's question, Qin Dong's heart was full of bitterness, in order to stabilize the current situation, in order to control the 60,000 army under Edika, he had to endure it.

Lying on the bed, Qin Dong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he was worried about the assassination tomorrow morning, this matter is too important, if this time fails, then Edika will inevitably be vigilant, and it will become very difficult to assassinate in the future, and if it is not successful, it will inevitably be tracked down by Edica, so as to find clues, which will be very unfavorable to him, when it is almost dawn, Qin Dong decided to personally lead the team this time.

The next morning, on the way to the small town of Blaze, a hundred kilometers west of Saidika, Edika was galloping towards Blaze with more than two hundred cavalry guards.

In the snow ahead, a man in a thick sheepskin jacket ran panting towards Edika's cavalry team, shouting as he ran: "Stop, stop!" ”

Edikla stopped holding on to the reins, and a centurion next to him shouted, "Who are you, why are you blocking our way!" ”

The man took a breath and said, "My lord, I am a resident of the small town of Slitsa, ninety miles to the north, please lead the troops to save the people of our town!" ”

Edika was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on, you say it slowly!" ”

"Yes, that's the case, due to the continuous wars in the north, coupled with the continuous heavy snowstorms these days, so that many northerners fled south, thousands of people gathered outside our town, these people fled out with very little food and clothing, so many people froze to death and starved to death, some rich families in our town organized the townspeople to donate some food and clothing, but our town was originally small. The population was also small, and it was impossible to help so many refugees, and those people were so hungry that they began to besiege our town. We can only send people to guard the entrance of the town, but we can't hold it for long, please hurry up and send troops to suppress it, otherwise our town will be finished! ”

"How so? How could I not know that so many refugees had fled south? Edika was taken aback, if there were really a large number of refugees going south, then it could only mean that there was a big war between Dadan and Erak and Erzhixik and Enek, otherwise this situation could not have happened.

The centurion next to him reminded, "Your Excellency. There have been heavy snowstorms in the past few days, so it's normal for messages to be slow to deliver! ”

Edika couldn't help but nod when he heard this, but he was embarrassed now. Now that many of his Skir people have been affected by the heavy snowstorm for several days, and now that there are so many refugees in the north, should they go to relieve the siege of the besieged town and settle those refugees first? Or should we go to Blaze first to deal with the affected people?

After thinking about it. Edika said to the centurion beside him, "Leave me ten." You take everyone else with him to relieve the siege of Slitsa, and gather some food and clothing from the surrounding towns and villages to send to the refugees, and help them build some wooden houses and grass huts to protect them from the wind and snow! ”

The centurion was a little worried: "My lord, this is not good, the number of people around you is too small, it will be very unsafe!" ”

Edika waved his hand and said, "It's okay, with such a big snowstorm, who has the time to disadvantage me?" There you go. In addition, I sent someone to inform the Eastern Courtyard Grand Prince's Mansion, and I think the Eastern Courtyard Grand Prince's Mansion will react soon. And quickly solve the problems of refugees and disaster victims! ”

"Well, sir, you must be careful along the way!" The centurion had no choice but to set off with all the horses on Edika's orders, leaving only ten horsemen to follow Edika.

Behind a small mound covered by heavy snow in front, Qin Dong and a dozen people were leaning on the mound to eat, when a horse galloped quickly from the front and jumped off the horse behind the small mound and reported to Qin Dong: "My lord, your strategy really worked, Edika only left ten people by his side, and the others were all sent by him to the town of Tisrica to relieve the siege, and now they are coming to this side, the distance is only six or seven miles!" ”

Qin Dong exhaled a breath of white air and got up and lay on the mound of dirt and said, "Let everyone get ready, and when the goal arrives, everyone will follow my orders!" ”

It turned out that Qin Dong used a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, no one in Europa in this era knew that there was a scheme called the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and Edika was of course no exception, how did he know that Qin Dong had been calculating him and used this trick against him?

"Yes, sir!" Everyone nodded.

Edika came out this time with more than 200 escort cavalry, it is actually very easy to kill Edika, Qin Dong can do it alone, but he will not assassinate this kind of high-tech work, he can only rely on the incomparably strong force with a knife and a gun, but in this way, it will make a big noise, and it will be known by others, which is not in line with his intention to blame the Ostrogoths, so he must assassinate, and then blame the Ostrogoths, so that the Skir people will share his hatred with him, so as to willingly obey his command, this is his real purpose.

And if you can't make a noise, you have to transfer most of the guard cavalry around Edika, only ten cavalry is much easier to deal with, this time Qin Dong brought all marksmen, and these marksmen have very strong individual combat ability, not only good at riding and shooting, but also good at hand-to-hand combat.

Edica soon trotted over with ten cavalrymen, and when he arrived not far from the small mound, Qin Dong stretched out his head and raised his hand, and the sharpshooters next to him all opened their bows and arrows to aim at Edika and the other ten cavalrymen on the snow road.

Qin Dong saw the opportunity, waved his hand down suddenly, "whoosh...... The marksmen shot the arrows in their hands one after another, and in just one round, the ten cavalrymen all fell off their horses, and Edika himself also had a few arrows stuck in his body, two arrows also penetrated his body, the war horse stopped, he swayed on the war horse, and after a while, he lay on the horse's back and did not move.

Qin Dong came out from behind the mound and checked Edika on horseback, and found that he was completely out of breath, "I'm sorry, Edika, my father-in-law, in fact, you are a good person, but it's a pity that your storage zài is in my way, so you have to die!" ”

Qin Dong silently said a few words in his heart and then said to his subordinates who rushed over: "Check it, don't have a live mouth, quickly arrange the scene!" ”

The others sprang into action, mending the dead cavalrymen with a few knives and wounds, and then throwing the bodies in a mess, and bringing in from behind the mound several secretly captured Ostrogoths, including Guccino, who had been sent by Diordemir to lobby Edica, who were quickly killed, and the bodies were placed together with the corpses of the cavalrymen, and they threw down some bloodstained Ostrogothic weapons, creating the illusion that the Ostrogoths had assassinated Edica and the ten cavalrymen around him.
