Chapter 245: Captain Edika
Qin Dong also knew that the situation was uncertain now, and he couldn't act rashly, it was unwise to blindly attack Adika, he pretended to have a bitter face and said: "Lord Lored, you can't stay here for a long time, sooner or later you will have to return to the royal court, you don't need to look at Lord Adika's face, but I'm different, no matter what, I'm under the jurisdiction of Lord Adika, as long as he uses some means casually, I won't be able to bear it, go and pay a visit when he comes back, at least show that I still respect him and obey his orders, He won't deliberately trouble me in the future, my lord, you say yes! ”
Qin Dong's intention in saying this was to test how deep Lored's resentment towards Adika was, but who knew that Lorid said with an unkind face after hearing it: "What? You're still going to be an honest captain under him? If he asks you to lead your troops against the royal court, will you obey his orders as well? ”
Qin Dong was "shocked" and said, "Where did you start with this, my lord? I was born as a person of Da Shan Yu, and I died as a ghost of Da Shan Yu, how could I obey such an order, if Adika ordered me to do this, I would be the first to kill him! ”
"Hmph, that's good, after all, Adika is a Skir, there are hundreds of thousands of clansmen below him, at the critical moment, he is likely to only think about his own people, and ignore Da Shan Yu's orders, maybe he is likely to have a rebellious heart, this incident shows that he is not very loyal to Da Shan Yu at least, if he is loyal, how can he lead the team back? You must watch him well in the future, if he makes any rash moves, you will send troops to kill him as soon as possible! ”
Qin Dong's face changed slightly. "My lord, things are not as strict as you say, are they? If he really wants to rebel, I'm afraid that I alone will not be his opponent at all. He has 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry under his command, and each of them can drown us with a spit of spit into my territory! ”
After listening to Qin Dong's words, Lored's tone softened a little, "Of course I don't want this to end up like this, it's just my worry." It's best that the southeast side can always be safe and sound, and Da Shan Yu doesn't want us to have internal problems ourselves, and it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes. Especially for a general like Adika, who has a heavy army and guards outside, he is afraid that they will rebel, and if he doesn't look at them, he is worried that they are secretly doing ghosts. It's really hard to do. If you find out that he is really rebellious, don't act rashly, you must report to Da Shan Yu as soon as possible, and if it is too late, you must also find a way to assassinate him."
"Understood, sir!" Qin Dong now understands Lored's attitude towards Adika, although the two have a good relationship, Lored's loyalty to Dadan Yu Erak seems to be much stronger than his friendship with Adika.
Can you use this to kill Adika? And then what about the army and forces that he left behind? I heard that Adika only has one daughter, if she can kill Adika. If he marries his daughter, he will have the support of hundreds of thousands of Skirs in the Balkans, as well as 10,000 iron horsemen and 50,000 infantry.
This idea lingered in Qin Dong's mind as soon as it appeared, but he also knew that he had to go and meet Adika first now, and then think of a complete plan after he returned, which could not only pick himself out, but also blame others for killing Adika.
After bidding farewell to Lored, Qin Dong immediately went to see Adika, whose mansion was in another cathedral in Saidica, where he both worked and lived, and his family was with him.
Hearing the guard's report that Qin Dong asked to see him, Adika was very surprised, he didn't expect Qin Dong to get the news that he had returned to Saidika so quickly, and he didn't expect Qin Dong to come to see him so soon.
After the two met, Adika was very enthusiastic, and did not treat Qin Dong as a subordinate at all, as if Qin Dong was like a guest who came to his house, and he was not a junior, but a peer, which made Qin Dong have to deal with it with a twelve-point spirit, the more Adika was like this, the more Qin Dong did not dare to be careless, if Adika put on a superior appearance, or treated him like an elder to a junior, Qin Dong really wouldn't take Adika seriously, in fact, Adika used such an attitude to talk to him, It made him feel that Adika was a bit unfathomable.
"Captain Qin Wanfu is really a good ability and a good means, in just one year, he has taken a big leap from a guard to a continuous promotion to Captain Wan, this matter is really a happy thing, congratulations!" Adika said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir!" Qin Dong hurriedly got up and saluted, although Adika was very polite to him, but he still put his posture very low, as the saying goes, many people are not to blame, at least Qin Dong thinks that he should not let Adika be hostile to him, otherwise his life will be very difficult, I thought that after being promoted to the commander of ten thousand years, I can be on an equal footing with Modo on the third acre of land in the Balkans, but I didn't expect that just a few days after cooling, Adika, the captain of Zuo Dadu, who had been staying in the royal court, actually came back, and there was another big mountain above his head, which made a lot of trouble......
After Qin Dong sat down, he asked, "My lord, the royal court is in an eventful time at this time, how could my lord bring troops back in this matter?" ”
This question can be said to be like a stab to Edika's vital point, if the answer is not good, Qin Dong can kill Edika on the spot under the pretext of being disloyal to Da Dan Yu, because nominally, whether it is Qin Dong, Modo, Edika, or Enek and Ernak and other princes should be loyal to Da Dan Yu Erak, but Qin Dong and their courtiers are different from those Da Dan Yu's brothers, those Da Dan Yu's brothers can compete with Da Dan Yu for the throne, but Qin Dong and their courtiers cannot, they must obey Da Dan Yu, Now that Da Shan Yu has fallen out with several of his brothers, Edika and the others should stay in the royal court to assist Da Shan Yu, instead of picking on them.
Edika's face showed a very distressed, regretful and helpless expression, "Captain Qin Wanfu should also know that I have been following Xian Shan Yu Attila for decades, it can be said that I have watched Da Shan Yu grow up with several of his brothers, and I regard them as my own children from the bottom of my heart, and now they have fallen out, and they want to fight against each other, they are meat in the palms and backs of their hands for me, what do you let me do?" Besides, in terms of status, as a subordinate, any of them have a higher status than me, and I am also older, this kind of bad thing makes me really physically and mentally exhausted! ”
Qin Dong didn't expect Edika to play the family card to deal with his acute question, which made him have to pull Edica up again in his heart. However, Edika can say so, but he Qin Dong cannot, he must clearly state his political position, he is Elak's bodyguard, destined to be Erak's person, this can never be changed, even if he wants to change the court, so he must properly question Edika for Da Dan Yu Erak's grievances, in order to prove that he is resolutely supporting Da Dan Yu Erak, if he doesn't do this, then Edica will doubt his political position in Qin Dong.
"Your Excellency's words are inaccurate, when the first Shan Yu returned to the Dragon Palace, the Lord and all the lords of the royal court unanimously agreed that the Great Prince should inherit the throne of Da Shan Yu, but now Enek, Deng Zhixike, and Elnak and others have rebelled against the rule of Da Shan Yu, violating the oath they made in the name of the gods to the current Da Shan Yu.
I think that our Xiongnu Empire has gone through hundreds of years and several generations of efforts to build a powerful empire, and only then has the prestige that today makes the Romans, Greeks, Gauls, Persians, and Armenians fearful, but Enek and others ignore the overall situation and ignore the interests of the country for their own selfish interests, it is really a crime to die, and it is not an exaggeration to condemn them as traitors. Are you doing this better than Attila's appreciation and support? ”
Qin Dong's words can be said to be heart-wrenching, Edika's face changed constantly, and after Qin Dong's words fell, Edika was speechless for a long time, until he came back to his senses and saw that Qin Dong was still staring at him tightly, Edika sighed: "Captain Qin Wanfu is right, I do have selfish intentions, I don't want to attack my own people, although I am a foreigner, but since the beginning of the times, we Skir and Huns are a family, so no matter what happens, I don't want to attack my own compatriots, The fight between Da Shan Yu and several of his brothers, this is a civil war, the people of the Xiongnu Empire do not fight the people of the Xiongnu Empire, in addition to participating in the civil war, Da Shan Yu's edict ordered me to obey Edika unconditionally, but if you want me to fight the civil war, please forgive me Edika can't obey! ”
Qin Dong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, how could this be as if I wanted you to fight a civil war? I'm just a minion, okay? Now that there are no foreign enemies, why don't the Huns fight the Huns, do you think this is a united front?
"My lord seems to have misunderstood what I meant, today I am not here to ask the adult, nor is it on behalf of the big single Yu to ask the big single Yu, and there is no civil war to say, the adult has been around the first single Yu for many years, you should understand that there is a problem of standing in line in the political zhì problem, the meaning of the adult seems to be that you don't want to stand in line, I think you should also understand the risk of not standing in line, both sides may treat you as an enemy, but you can rest assured, as long as you are loyal to the Hun Empire, I will not be your enemy here, You should be wary of your neighbors to the north, who may come to you at any time!
