Chapter 228: Mysterious Assassination in the Palace
It was a bloody lesson. Vertices
Because they could not disturb the people, they did not know in advance that someone was lying in ambush in the people's homes.
Later investigation revealed that the ambush killer had rented the two buildings very early, and the rent offered was more than enough for the owner to build two identical buildings.
No one knows what they rented it for.
When the people of Lone Star Hall found the master, they knew that it was used to ambush and assassinate Princess Yun Yu Mu Qianmei, and they all regretted it, and repeatedly apologized to the people of Lone Star Hall, and were even willing to hand over the rent they got to the people of Lone Star Hall to atone for their sins.
Mu Qianmei is also a person they revere.
However, the people of Lone Star Hall know that they are also innocent, and they do not take their money, the building has been damaged, and they have to rebuild their home.
The identities of the six gnomes have also been confirmed.
They are members of the long-lost Evil Wolf Gang in the grasslands, a total of seven people, a wolf king and six gnomes.
During the night's operation, six gnomes intervened to stop the carriage and assassinate the horses of Mu Qianmei's carriage.
But the wolf king hid not far from the wooden building, ready to meet them.
However, the situation developed beyond their expectations, and it was only a matter of moments.
The man in ambush in the building is a member of another gang, and it is also a small gang in the grassland that is famous for its excellent archery skills.
In this assassination operation, the two gangs united and were well prepared, thinking that they would be able to successfully assassinate Mu Qianmei, but they didn't expect that the response of the Yun Yu Kingdom delegation would be so fast.
Especially the three swords of the Shocking Rainbow, the damage caused was too great.
Even the people of the Divine Arrow Gang only had time to send out three arrows.
Now it is basically confirmed that the people in this operation, the wolf king and the main and deputy gang leaders of the Divine Arrow Gang have successfully escaped.
The Southern Tang Kingdom issued a special wanted warrant, with portraits of three people, and offered a reward of 500 taels of gold as a reward, which was the most bounty wanted warrant in the Southern Tang Kingdom.
The members of the Cult Alliance did not respond positively to this incident, and the two small gangs did not officially join the Cult Alliance.
However, everyone knows that they must be behind the scenes.
And the cult alliance and the court of the Southern Tang Kingdom are inextricably linked.
The situation is extremely complicated.
In addition to sending people to greet him, the Southern Tang Kingdom also sent people to Yunyu Kingdom, personally apologized to Yunyu Kingdom, and made certain compensation.
After all, the delegation was invited by them to go and had an accident on the way there.
Looking at the 50,000 cavalry of the Southern Tang Kingdom who came to greet her, Mu Qianmei behaved very calmly.
There was neither any particular excitement nor any unhappiness.
Most of the seventeen people who died on the way were ordinary entourage, but there were also a few members of the song and dance troupe.
The entire team was shrouded in gloomy clouds and mist for a while.
Many of them have the idea of retreating.
What would be the point of such a visit?
However, after thinking about it again, Mu Qianmei still decided that the team would still move forward.
Access cannot be canceled as a result.
With the protection of 50,000 cavalry, the speed of the mission's march was much faster.
Finally, five days later, they successfully reached the Tatar tribe.
Battle personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.
However, no matter how grand the welcoming ceremony was, it could not dispel the sadness on the faces of the members of the delegation.
Everyone had a sad look on their faces.
The scene was grand, but the atmosphere was not harmonious.
Whether it's a welcome event or an evening dinner, the atmosphere is a little awkward.
The progress of the ensuing cooperation has also been slow.
First, the sincerity of the Southern Tang Kingdom was not enough, and secondly, the mood of the people in the Yunyu Kingdom was also very bad, and many projects that were planned to cooperate in advance failed to reach an agreement.
This situation made Battle very unhappy.
Mu Qianmei looked like she was going with the flow.
Until the gala was held, the situation did not get any better, and everyone seemed to be forced to laugh.
He even sang sad songs such as " and "White Fox".
Sadness has become the main theme of this party.
Mu Qianmei, Hua Duanrou and Du Jiuniang did not sing on stage.
The "White Fox" sung by the quiet girl made many people cry.
The only thing that made the party a wave of small ** was the grassland song "Hong Yan" sung by Saren.
Originally, she wanted to sing some cheerful grassland songs at first, but because of such an atmosphere, it was really not suitable, so she chose such a slow-paced song.
For the prairie people, such songs are the ones that touch their hearts the most.
As a grassland native, and because of her unique personal experience, Saren is also very affectionate when she sings this song.
This song also resonated with many grassland people.
By the time Saren repeated the song a second time, some of them were already able to hum along with the rhythm
"The wild goose, the sky is flying, and the team is lined up.
The river is long, the autumn grass is yellow, and the sound of the piano on the grassland is sad.
The wild goose, to the south, flies over the reeds.
The sky is vast, where are the geese going? In my heart is the hometown of the north.
The sky is vast, where are the geese going? In my heart is the hometown of the north.
Wild geese, to the sky, how far away the sky is.
Drink the wine dry, pour it again, and don't get drunk tonight.
Drink the wine dry, pour it again, and don't get drunk tonight. ”
This simple lyric becomes incomparably infectious, in that long-distance, soulful tune.
It's a pity that such a song can't make people jubilant after all, only intoxicating.
Like a glass of wine.
After this night, the people remembered to sing this song Prairie Girl Saren.
I also remembered the quiet girl who sang sad songs.
There was no big ** in the whole party, and people couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
This book is an evening full of anticipation.
The party between the two countries, the party between the Yunyu Kingdom and the Eastern Qin Kingdom, has already spread throughout the entire Yugu Continent.
So when people knew that the Southern Tang Kingdom was going to hold such a grand party, their hearts were inevitably full of expectations.
There were even more people who came than the party in Lanjing City, and many of them came to the Tatar tribe early.
Of course, what I am most looking forward to is to be able to witness Princess Yunyu with my own eyes.
It's a pity that she really doesn't have the mood to sing in such a situation.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
However, no one really complained about Mu Qianmei.
Everyone understands it.
Seventeen people in the team she led left this world forever, and as the leader, she was of course sadder than anyone else.
At the end of the party, the people ended with "The Same Song" that had just been sung, and Saren led the singing.
At the end of the song, people left with a disappointment that could not be concealed, and there was a faint sadness, probably influenced by the atmosphere of the party.
After the party, Mu Qianmei also said goodbye to Battle in advance, preparing to leave early the next morning.
Although there are still many cooperation projects that have not yet been successfully negotiated, it is unlikely that they will succeed in such a situation.
Battle politely retained, knowing that Yun Mengdie had made up his mind, so he agreed, saw them off the next morning, and once again expressed his deep apologies.
However, things took a very unexpected turn.
In the palace of the Southern Tang Kingdom, in the early morning of that night, everyone was asleep, but suddenly heard a chaotic shouting from the deep palace
"There are assassins, there are assassins, catch the assassins!"
"The emperor has been assassinated by assassins!"
"Escort, escort"
……
All kinds of sounds, all in a mess!
After a while, the building behind it became a sea of fire.
Mu Qianmei also took the members of the delegation and hurriedly walked out of the building and walked to an open place to watch the changes in the situation.
The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Southern Tang Kingdom, who were in charge of receiving them, also nervously came to appease them.
The chaos lasted for about two quarters of an hour before it finally subsided.
The fire was finally completely extinguished, and there was a strong smell of burning.
A large number of imperial physicians were urgently summoned to the palace.
The entire palace is brilliantly lit, and people come and go, which seems to be chaotic, but in fact, all the work is being carried out in an orderly manner, and everyone's face is full of nervousness.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, the woman's cry could be faintly heard.
The civil and military officials were also urgently summoned and entered the Jinluan Palace.
Seeing that the situation had eased temporarily, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranged for Yun Yuguo's delegation to continue to rest.
Didn't reveal anything about it to them.
However, an eerie and mournful atmosphere has spread throughout the Tatar tribe.
Returning to the residence, Hua asked softly:
"The Emperor was assassinated? How could you be assassinated at such a time? Has it been assassinated, or has it been an attempted assassination? ”
Mu Qianmei replied lightly:
"Battle is an emperor who is good at intrigue, and our many assassinations are inextricably linked to him."
"I also want to know if an emperor who is good at planning assassination operations has the ability to avoid being assassinated."
"However, judging from the atmosphere tonight, it is probably more auspicious!"
This faint tone made Hua Qianrou a little frightened when she heard it.
She wanted to ask again, but Mu Qianmei immediately made a silent gesture, signaling that the partition wall had ears.
It wasn't until a mysterious man in black hurried through the roof that she whispered:
"Sister, let's go on a rest! Being in the palace of the Southern Tang Kingdom, it is not appropriate for us to discuss this matter at this moment. ”
Although Hua Qianrou still had countless questions in her heart, she also knew that Mu Qianmei was reasonable, so she didn't continue to ask again.
Although no one was able to sleep peacefully, no one spoke again.
People are wondering what happened on this unquiet night.
The result?
There is a big question mark in everyone's heart.
Countless people were busy this night, some rushing outside, some hurrying back from outside.
The men who were running out were chasing down some of the escaped Assassins and investigating the assassination.
Those who hurried back from outside were all important generals of the Southern Tang Kingdom, all of whom were urgently recalled to the palace.
And this news is also being secretly passed on by countless people, some flying to Yunyu Kingdom, and some flying to Eastern Qin Kingdom.
Whether the assassination is successful or not, this will definitely be a major event that shocks the Ugu Continent.
