Chapter 117: Treacherous
It was late at night, and the Splendid Garden stopped.
Although the outside of the garden is still surrounded by the Guardian Chu Legion, there are no outsiders inside, only Xiong Junjiang and the little cicada Chunya are guarding inside, and the outside is the Shengong Camp and the Shaking Mountain Camp. The officials have already come, and the spies of the major forces have seen it, and the rest are either not qualified to come, or there is no need to come.
Chunya cried very sadly, Xiong Jun was also very sad and very angry, the problem is that his anger is useless, because he doesn't know who the enemy is, is it possible to go out with a knife and cut people?
Jiang Xiaocian was not angry or sad, but acted a little ignorant. She kept her head down, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes, kneeling in the corner, no one noticing her presence. When the night was getting deeper and no one came in for a while, Jiang Xiaocian moved his steps, walked behind Xiong Jun, and stretched out his hand to tap him on the shoulder.
Xiong Jun turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaocian and asked, "Xiaocicada, what are you doing beating me?" It's not that Old Xiong said that you, Your Highness is gone, why aren't you sad at all?"
Jiang Xiaocian did not speak, but took out a letter from his arms, pointed at Li Yunyi, and then pointed at Xiong Jun. Xiong Jun took the letter in a daze and asked, "What is it? whose letter was given to me?"
Jiang Xiaocian looked around and said, "Look, hurry up." ”
Xiong Jun opened the letter, looked through it quickly, his eyes widened, he wiped the tears in his eyes, and looked at it again. After reading it, he lowered his voice with a look of surprise, pointed at Li Yunyi and said, "This is what he gave you?"
Jiang Xiaocian nodded, then pointed at Li Yunyi, she said, "Letter, burn it!"
"Oh, oh~"
Xiong Jun hurriedly threw the letter into the brazier, he stood up and turned around a few times, looked at Li Yunyi from time to time, and the more he thought about it, the more excited his face became, and muttered: "I'll just say, Your Highness is a man of God......"
He didn't dare to say anything halfway through, there are so many people here today, who knows if there are any masters lurking outside? He thought for a while and said, "Chunya, you go back to the room first, don't worry about anything, stay in the room." ”
"Yes~"
Chunya saw something on the side, but didn't dare to ask more, Xiong Junyi said that she hurriedly went back to the room. Xiong Jun spun around for a moment again, walked out and ordered, "Little Sun!"
"The last general!"
Commander Sun walked over, and Xiong Jun said, "You take a few people, go to the best coffin shop in the city, and buy a good coffin and come back." In addition, buy some things to decorate the mourning hall and come back, remember not to make trouble in the city, and come back to report any situation first. ”
"Whoa!"
Commander Sun went out with ten sergeants, but the Chu Protector Army outside did not stop it, and the Protector Chu Army left two thousand, and they were surrounded here just to prevent greater chaos, and did not restrict people from entering and leaving.
Towards dawn, Commander Sun returned with several carriages, one of which contained a black wooden coffin. When things were brought in, Xiong Jun got busy, he mobilized all the sergeants, and first cleaned up the Splendid Garden.
In addition, people were arranged to arrange the mourning hall, and the entire Splendid Garden was full of people, busy and smoking.
The coffin was placed in the main hall, and there was a corpse in it, but it was not Li Yunyi's, but the body of the guard who was stabbed to death yesterday afternoon. Li Yunyi was secretly taken to another small room, which was originally inhabited by subordinates and had no windows. Xiong Jun didn't send guards to guard it, so he let Jiang Xiaocian guard beside him.
Li Yunyi still didn't have any breath, there were no signs of life, and even Xiong Jun, the long sword on his chest, didn't dare to pull it out. He didn't know how Li Yunyi could be "resurrected", there was no explanation in the letter, and he didn't dare to act rashly. He only knew that since Li Yunyi said that he could come back to life, he would definitely be able to come back to life.
The mourning hall was raised, the coffin was sealed, and it was nailed to death with a large iron nail.
Xiong Jun asked ten sergeants to wear linen and filial piety, knelt in the mourning hall and cried, while he secretly began to eat in the back. He had a lot to do after dawn, and he had to keep his strength up.
It's dawning soon!
He secretly went to take a look at Li Yunyi, and found that it was still the same, he explained a few words to Jiang Xiaochan, and went out with a few sergeants.
He didn't go too far, but went to the nearby Beijing Garden. This is the embassy of the Northern Yasukuni Kingdom, and the prince of Yasukuni, Zhuge Jian, lives here. Xiong Jun handed over the post, Zhuge Jian basically didn't sleep well last night, and hurriedly got up after getting the news.
Not long after Xiong Jun entered, Zhuge Jian sent a few of his men to the rest of the envoy pavilion, and half an hour later, the envoys from various countries gathered in Beijing Garden.
The envoys of various countries basically didn't sleep well last night, except for quickly sending news back to various countries, they were all thinking about the impact of Li Yunyi's killing on various countries, and what kind of response they needed to make.
They were a little stunned when they saw Xiong Jun in the back, Xiong Jun didn't have any fame before, and he was a little famous after following Li Yunyi, but he was nothing in front of the envoys of various countries. Li Yunyi just died, what did Xiong Jun come to do?
After everyone came, Zhuge Jian looked at Xiong Jun and said, "General Xiong, everyone is here, you can say anything you want." ”
Xiong Jun's face was heavy, he bowed to everyone, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although my Royal Highness is the regent, he is exercising the duties of the lord of the country. This time I came on behalf of Jingguo, I came by the will of Emperor Nanchu, and now I was suddenly assassinated, what does this mean?"
All the messengers were expressionless, no one spoke, and looked at Xiong Jun waiting for him to continue.
Xiong Jun paused for a moment and continued: "On behalf of Southern Chu, he doesn't look down on our Jingguo at all, on behalf of Southern Chu doesn't look down on the major vassal states at all, and it also means that the magnates of Southern Chu are wantonly trampling on the unspoken rules between Southern Chu and the vassal states, breaking the tacit understanding and balance. Today, Nan Chu can summon His Royal Highness to kill me, and tomorrow he can summon the regent or lord of your country to assassinate him, and the major vassal states will be in danger if this continues!"
The messengers are still silent, why don't they know this?
What are they doing here this time? Isn't it just to cheer Li Yunyi on and tell Nanchu not to mess around? Usually, the major princes fight happily in the country, but when facing Nanchu, they all have the same hatred. Because they know very well that with one or two vassal states, no one can carry Southern Chu. Only by uniting can they fight against Nan Chu.
Similarly, once there is a foreign enemy, the major vassal states and Southern Chu will definitely stand in the same line. There will never be absolute allies and enemies before the state and the state, there are only eternal interests.
Seeing that all the envoys didn't speak, Zhuge Jian looked at Xiong Jun and said, "What does General Xiong mean?"
Xiong Jun said with a sad face: "Xiong wants to invite all of you to go to the Chu Emperor's Palace to meet Your Majesty, but Xiong is soft-spoken, and His Majesty will not be summoned if he goes." Your Excellency is transcendent, and Your Majesty will definitely summon you. Xiong wants to ask you to help my Royal Highness get an explanation and explanation, my Royal Highness can't just die so inexplicably. Jingguo needs an explanation, and the major vassal states also need an explanation, even if His Majesty does not find out the perpetrators, he will definitely make a guarantee that such a thing will not happen again. ”
"Hmmm......"
Xiong Jun's words made all the envoys bow slightly, and Xiong Jun did not make excessive requests. Just let them go to the Chu Emperor's Palace to help shout, which is necessary for their country, Xiong Jun's last sentence went to their hearts.
Even if the murderer is not handed over, it can prevent such a thing from happening again. If they don't do anything, the culprits behind them will definitely be unscrupulous, which is not a good thing for the major vassal states.
If Xiong Jun asked them to help administer justice and find out the murderer, it is estimated that this group of messengers will pat their butts and leave, and they will not say a word. Xiong Jun's words now are more to help them think about it, and they all think that it is necessary.
"I'm okay with that!"
Zhuge Jian stood up and said: "I think that no matter whether Your Majesty sees us or not, we should go there, if we don't do anything, our major vassal states will be looked down upon by the magnates of Southern Chu." ”
"Agreed!"
Lu Guanhou stood up, and Liang Yuhe stood up the third and said, "If we don't stand up today, it will be our turn to die tomorrow." ”
"it!"
King Ju slapped the table and stood up and said, "If we don't give an explanation today, we will make a big fuss about Emperor Chu's palace." ”
Princess Yunfei also bowed slightly: "Let's go~"
Most of the messengers agreed, and the rest of the messengers didn't say anything and stood up.
Xiong Jun bowed and thanked him, and strode away.
Zhuge Jian looked at Xiong Jun's burly back, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, the intelligence showed that this was a pure general, a big old man. Today's words are polite and courteous, and the logic is very clear, not like a reckless general in the army.
Zhuge Jian didn't have time to think about it, everyone took a carriage, and under the support of the guards, they drove towards the Chu Emperor's Palace. Today, they all made up their minds that they must meet the Emperor of Southern Chu, and they must ask Li Yunyi for an explanation, as well as for the major vassal states.
So many wagons were dispatched, and the nearby spies were quickly alarmed.
Half an hour later, Ye Mansion received the news, Ye Xiangfo smiled at Zou Hui who came to report the news, and said: "The old man guessed correctly, right? This kid is very treacherous, how can he have no backhand? You go and launch it and send him out of the city." ”
