Chapter 152: The Scapegoat
It was a matter of the country's face, and this time the investigation of Emperor Nanfeng became extremely careful and keen, and the seemingly unintentional reminder of Shangguan Zuozhi at the banquet that day was remembered by him, so he paid special attention to the movements of the envoys of the Western Barbarians.
The Assassins, who were imprisoned, committed suicide by poisoning themselves soon afterward, and none of their men could stop them.
However, after observing their corpses, it was not difficult for the post-mortem to find that these Assassins were very different from Nanther in terms of body and appearance, and after careful comparison, the servants finally had the courage to present their conclusions to Emperor Nanfeng.
These assassins were all Western barbarians without exception!
Tuoba Chu felt very uncomfortable these days, and wherever she went, she felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark, so that she couldn't even mention her interest in going to the six princes of Donglin to tease her.
Until one day Tuoba Sheng told her that the matter was revealed.
In fact, as early as when Shangguan Zuozhi questioned on the spot, Tuoba Chu expected that this day would come, so he was not very shocked after hearing the news.
She teased the birds in the golden cage and said with a smile, "Why is my brother so panicked?" Isn't the scapegoat already prepared? ”
In addition to Tuoba Chu and Tuoba Sheng, there was also the king of Li Jun of the Western Barbarians, who held heavy troops and was brave and good at fighting, but he was stubborn and self-serving, and his eyes were above the top, his father had long been very jealous of him, and he had always felt that the king of Li Jun would one day rebel and replace his position, so before leaving, he summoned their two brothers and sisters to a secret talk, and his words and deeds revealed that if there was an opportunity, he would eradicate the meaning of Li Junwang.
Now, isn't that the opportunity coming?
Tuoba Chu glanced at him and reminded, "As a prince, my brother needs to be more calm." ”
After a while, Tuoba Sheng obviously thought of going with her, calmed down, and saw that she was still teasing the bird with great interest, and couldn't help but say, "If you are not a woman, my brother will really be a little jealous of you." ”
Tuoba Chu laughed twice and began to drive people away, "Let's leave if there's nothing to do." ”
Tuoba stood for a while and left.
……
When Jiang Qiushui heard that Emperor Nanfeng ordered the arrest of King Li Jun from the Western Barbarians, he was stunned for a moment.
She has heard of this person, a famous killing god on the battlefield, who has fought in the Xiban for many years, and has few defeats, so to speak, the Xiban has the status of the four countries today, and most of the credit is on him.
However, this person's character flaws are also obvious, he is self-righteous and arrogant.
I heard that he led his troops to the battle, and often did not obey the orders of the Western Barbarian King, and kept saying that "the generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it", and when the Western Barbarian King repeatedly explicitly hinted that he would hand over the military power, he expressed his refusal.
No king with the slightest ambition could endure such a person as King Li Jun for long.
But since you've endured it for so many years, why did you make a move at this time?
Jiang Qiushui couldn't figure it out.
You must know that at this time, the loss of King Li Jun in Xiban is equivalent to a tiger pulling out its sharp teeth, and encountering a slightly fierce beast is like fish on a chopping board, which can only be slaughtered.
Could it be that they thought that by using the hand of Nansour to get rid of King Li Jun and seize the military power in his hands, they could find a general who was more adept at using troops than him?
Jiang Yushui shook his head.
No matter what others think, Emperor Nanfeng has found evidence in the residence of King Li Jun, and the so-called evidence is conclusive, even if you are a general of another country? Directing an assassination of an assassin at an important banquet in his country is simply ill-intentioned!
And the Tuoba brothers and sisters jumped out at the right time to "kill their relatives with righteousness", which made King Li Jun fall into a situation of irreversible death.
No matter how much he denied it, it would be of no avail.
This matter is also over.
Soon after, the envoys sent by the three kingdoms set out for their homeland.
looked at Yin Luo, who came to see him off...... Jiang Wushui beside him, a trace of reluctance flashed in Shangguan Zuozhi's eyes, he got into the carriage for a moment, and the next second he had already appeared in front of Jiang Wushui.
Before Jiang Yushui could react, the back collar was pulled, and she had to take a few steps back, and then a young man in a white robe stood in front of her, with his back to her, and he stared at Shangguan with wide eyes.
"Qi Gongzi." Shangguan Zuozhi's polite smile could barely be maintained, and these three words seemed to pop out of his teeth.
Qi Jin smiled without changing his face and said, "Shangguan Gongzi, they are all waiting for you." ”
He raised his chin slightly, signaling to the group of people who were looking at this side not far away.
Shangguan Zuozhi wanted to roll his eyes at him regardless of his manners.
He ignored the people in front of him and looked at Jiang Yushui, and the look in his eyes made people feel a little pitiful.
Jiang Wushui is not a dull person, and the relationship between these days is enough for her to feel Shangguan Zuozhi's heart for her.
But she didn't understand where Shangguan Zuozhi's friendship for her came from, and she couldn't repay the same deep feelings.
So she could only pretend not to see the deep meaning in his eyes, and said, "Take care all the way." ”
The simple four words conveyed her attitude to the official.
His face turned pale for a moment, and he quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded slowly.
He moved his lips, wanting to smile and say a few more words to her before parting, after all, the two countries are far apart, and if they say goodbye today, maybe they will not have fate to say goodbye in this life.
However, before he could organize the language, he was suddenly hugged by someone, and the girl's innocent and laughing voice was in his ears, "Xiao Zuozi, don't miss people too much, if you have the opportunity, people will definitely go to Donglin to play with you!" ”
I don't know why, I used to hear a voice that was only noisy and disturbing in Donglin, but at this moment, he felt a little comforted, and there was no disgust in his heart.
Maybe it's because I've listened to it a lot these days, and I'm slowly getting used to it.
Shangguan Zuozhi's heart moved, and he was about to move, when he suddenly felt two soft things in his chest, and quickly reacted to what it was, his whole person froze, and his hands that were about to fall behind her back froze in the air, and he said in a dumb voice: "Yin, Yin Luo, can you let go of me first?" ”
"Don't! People haven't had enough of it! ”
Yin Luo didn't notice that something was wrong with him, but hugged him tighter.
Jiang Qiushui saw the embarrassment of Shangguan's stopping, and couldn't help laughing: "If Ah Luo doesn't let go, the team will set off." ”
She reluctantly let go of her hand, and grabbed the corner of Shangguan's clothes when he stopped his desire to flee, "After you go back, you won't forget about people, right?" ”
Shangguan Zuozhi just wanted to leave quickly, and replied without hesitation: "No." ”
"That's good."
Yin Luo was satisfied and let go completely.
Shangguan Zuozhi glanced deeply at Jiang Wushui and turned to leave.
