Chapter 119: The 'Resurrected' Gassel (9)
The queen's position is in jeopardy!
Aji's intentions, King Loulan knows very well, the old horsemen in the court are like flies all day long, hoping that Sha'er will fall out of favor as soon as possible, so that they can arrange their daughters to enter the palace as they wish, if they learn the news of Sha'er's infertility, won't they be so happy that they can't close their mouths?
After pondering for a moment, King Loulan helped up the half-kneeling Aji and agreed to his request: "Okay, I will allow you, but you know the inside story of this matter, and you must not leak it to your brother, so as not to spread into the ears of people with good intentions and breed trouble." ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand, please rest assured that my subordinates will vouch for their heads, and my brother will be honest and reliable, and he will not ask too much questions."
The only hope is that Aggie can really find a famous doctor to solve this vital matter.
As soon as he finished telling Aji, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Tan Ya, walked in with a solemn face, only to see him kneeling on one knee, presenting a silver whip, and saying with a guilty face: "Holy Lord, what you have ordered the lowly to do......... If you fail to complete your humiliating mission, please punish you! ”
Three months ago, King Loulan instructed Tanya to secretly arrange for the assassins to assassinate Prince Songqi and bring his head back to the army. Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the people sent out by King Loulan should have succeeded, waiting for the good news of coming back, but unexpectedly, the Royal Forest Army, which has never been foolproof, has failed to live up to expectations this time!
King Loulan's face sank, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Tanya was ashamed, "I arranged ten assassins to assassinate Prince Songqi, and the original plan went well, but I was just about to take the last step to cut off his head and bring him back to his life, but unfortunately at the critical moment, a group of mysterious people appeared to stop our actions and successfully rescued him!" ”
"Did the soldiers at the border pass of Weitou learn that their prince is in trouble and send troops to rescue him?"
"According to the humble opinion of the lowly position, the lowly position thinks that it is unlikely, the lowly rank is well planned, has been deployed for a long time, all the way to follow the prince of Songqi to the head of the captain, deliberately chose to start ten miles away from the border pass, where there are few people, there is no grass, and the people at the border pass will not be alarmed. The group of people who appeared were of unknown origin, their identities were mysterious, they had been inspected at the scene, and the deceased was dressed in black, not a captain's soldier! ”
Tanya told the specific situation of the matter, and after finishing, he kowtowed, and blamed himself: "The lowly duty is not good, and there is no place to meet the holy lord, so I present the silver whip, please punish and teach the lowly duty a lesson!" ”
As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he arranged the assassination of the main person in charge, and he could not escape the blame for the failure of the mission, and what saddened him more than not completing the Holy Lord's instructions was the soldiers who died in vain.
That group of mysterious people is cruel, they all exterminate without leaving a living mouth, cut off the heads of their brothers and make them behead in different places, this blood revenge is not revenge!
He swore to the sky that no matter what the price was, he would find out that group of mysterious people and ask them to pay for their blood debts!
"In this operation, you disappointed Lone very much!"
There are meritorious awards, there are punishments, the king of Loulan has always had clear rewards and punishments, and Tanya knows this, so he took the guilt and accepted the punishment with his heart.
"It's the fault of the lowly position, and the lowly is willing to accept any punishment!"
"As a general, not only did you fail to fulfill Lone's entrustment, but you also sacrificed the lives of ten soldiers, and later whipped yourself thirty, remember this lesson, and take it as a warning!"
King Loulan took the silver whip and put it aside, and then said: "How do you plan to make meritorious service next, you think clearly as soon as possible, and give Gu a satisfactory answer." ”
Probably worried about waking up Yisha, who was resting in the house with torture, King Loulan told Tanya to go to the interrogation building, and everyone who made a big mistake was punished there.
"Yes, do your bidding!"
On the way back to Loulan from Weitou, Tanya thought a lot, according to reason, Prince Songqi made many enemies, and the other princes all wanted to kill him, except for the court soldiers, who else would save him?
He never figured it out, it was a matter of his brother's life, he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, but unfortunately after checking for a long time, there were no clues, and trying to find out the mysterious people he had never met from the captain was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!
"But whatever has happened, no matter how careful the other party is, it will inevitably leave traces!"
Frowning and analyzing the detailed process of Tanya's narration, King Loulan tried to find clues from it.
Knowing his master's thoughts, Tanya tried to recall, hoping to come up with useful clues.
On the day of his assassination, he and another lieutenant waited at an inn two miles away, waiting for the vulture to report that the mission had been successful or failed, and if it succeeded, the subordinate would tie a red piece to the vulture's claw, and if it failed, the vulture would fly back.
When the lone vulture came back alone, his heart fell to the bottom, he didn't believe that his well-trained subordinates had failed to complete the task, he questioned, suspecting that the red belt might have fallen off on the way back from the vulture, so he quickly rushed to the place where the crime occurred, and it was true that the matter was true.
Unexpectedly, the scene was miserable, none of the ten subordinates survived, and all of them were cut off with their heads and heads in different places!
Blood stained the red sand, and they only saw the footprints and horseshoe prints left by another group of soldiers and horses, and nothing else!
They had tried to follow them through their footprints, but the impending sandstorm and strong winds had blown away the marks of the group's departure, and they could not be found.
"You say they're all in different places?"
Beheading, a very cautious move, fearing that one of them would be lucky enough to survive, so cutting off the head of the deceased as a precaution, they did so that the gang knew who they were, or probably guessed the owner of the order, and did not want to reveal his identity.
Who is it, who dares to blatantly oppose him King Loulan? Is it a gang of captains, or a hidden force behind Prince Songqi?
"That group of people simply didn't leave a living mouth, it is obvious that they came prepared, otherwise according to the martial arts of the soldiers, it is impossible to wipe out the whole army!"
The secret decree issued by the king of Loulan was extremely secret, and only he, Aji, the two lieutenant generals, and the ten soldiers of the Royal Forest Army knew, could it be ......... Is there an inner ghost among them who has ventilated the news in advance and leaked their plans?
If that were the case, it would have become quite tricky and complicated, and it would no longer be a simple assassination, but a matter of having enemies within them!
Who had the audacity to despise Long Wei and do these things under his nose, he didn't even notice it!
"Bastard!"
King Loulan was so shocked by a cold reprimand that Tanya and Aji shook one after another, and his cold and hard face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The king who is not angry and self-righteous on weekdays has already given people a sense of fright, and he has launched anger, which makes people even more frightened and afraid!
Even Aji, who has followed him for many years, is afraid of what he looks like when he is angry, not to mention Tanya, who is derelict in his duties and makes mistakes, it is even more terrifying!
"Tanya."
The low, cold voice was like an ice blade.
