The next day, the royal family of the Southern Tang Kingdom officially announced that the emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom, Battle, had died due to a sudden illness.

There was news of the assassination in the palace, and it was tightly sealed.

However, such a big movement last night has already alarmed many people, and the gossip has already spread to many places.

Even some well-informed ordinary people also knew some internal rumors, but everyone didn't dare to say it openly, and only circulated it in secret.

Whatever the reason, it has become a given fact that Emperor Batel of the Southern Tang Kingdom has died, and this news shocked the entire Yugu Continent.

How much impact will his sudden death have on the situation of the Three Kingdoms?

Will the Southern Tang Kingdom still be so united?

The Southern Tang Kingdom, which was formed by the combination of many tribes, immediately surged again.

Who else can have the courage and ability to lead the new Southern Tang Kingdom?

No matter how the outside world speculates, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Southern Tang Kingdom, according to the usual practice, first urgently put a twelve-year-old son of Battle on the throne.

This was followed by a solemn funeral.

The palace was snow-white, and there were people wearing linen and filial piety everywhere.

The whole funeral was solemn, luxurious, and lively, but also solemn and solemn.

The whole country mourns the emperor who established outstanding feats for the Southern Tang Kingdom.

The merits and demerits of his life have become the most discussed topic among people.

Of course, based on the concept of respect for the dead, voices of appreciation and regret became the main voices.

The Yunyu Kingdom delegation, which had already planned to leave that morning, was also forced to stay.

In the event of such a big funeral, even if there is no suspicion, according to etiquette, you can't just leave.

The people of the Yunyu delegation were extremely low-key at Mu Qianmei's request, and their words and deeds were strictly implemented in accordance with the etiquette between countries.

Regarding the Southern Tang Kingdom's request to keep secrets strictly, Mu Qianmei also agreed without hesitation.

The country formed by the union of many tribes is not stable enough, and in the event of such a great change, if it is announced to the public that the emperor was assassinated and killed, the situation will become more chaotic.

However, many times, such things are often covered up, and the more they want to keep things secret, the more vigorous the private rumors tend to be.

In the outside world, not only was it rumored that the emperor was assassinated and died, but there were even many versions of the assassination story.

Some say that a certain tribe in the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to dominate the Southern Tang Kingdom, so they took a risk and assassinated Battle.

Some people say that there are hidden masters in the Yunyu delegation who live in the palace and happen to be close to the water, and they took the opportunity to assassinate the emperor in revenge for the hatred of being assassinated many times.

Some say that the Eastern Qin State took advantage of the Yunyu State delegation to plan this assassination operation in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and wanted to blame the Yunyu Kingdom and let the two countries compete with each other, so that they could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

It is also said that the Southern Tang Kingdom issued a special wanted warrant, which wanted the people of the Evil Wolf Gang and the Divine Arrow Gang, which aroused the hatred of the underworld gang, so he assassinated the emperor.

Some people also say that it was the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was romantic, and in a green building, he was jealous of others, which laid the root cause and caused the disaster of killing.

……

There are various versions of the legend, and the list goes on.

The version is more and more spread, and the more it is spread, the more legendary it becomes.

For a time, the cause of death of the emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom became the hottest topic in the Yugu Continent.

He probably didn't get so much attention in front of him.

Especially for the various stories in front of him, they have also been excavated by curious people and circulated secretly.

Battle must not have thought that he would become the most concerned person in the Ugu Continent before he was buried in the earth.

At this time, his popularity has surpassed that of the most legendary Princess Yunyu.

Even the affair of his young and frivolous time has been dug up.

At this time, Mu Qianmei was so low-key that she rarely saw her figure, and only when she had to appear, she would stand silently in the team and go to mourn the emperor who was very famous.

Due to their low profile and the fact that they did not leave the palace of the Southern Tang Kingdom immediately, people were unable to dispel the rumors that the emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom had been assassinated by them.

People visit in a dignified manner, and attend Battle's funeral in a dignified and bright manner, if they are assassinated, how can they be so calm and calm!

Until the first

After twelve days, the auspicious day of the spirit finally arrived.

In addition to the people from all the tribes of the Southern Tang Kingdom who came to attend the funeral, the Eastern Qin Kingdom and the Yunyu Kingdom both sent people to come, and the scene was so grand that it was even more lively than when he ascended the throne.

Because this is a very special time.

The armies of the various tribes were stationed about sixty miles outside the imperial city.

The army of Yunyu Kingdom had been stationed in the border area of the Southern Tang Kingdom for a long time, and now it has strengthened its defense.

The Eastern Qin State had the intention to transfer troops there, but at this time the transfer of troops was a bit inappropriate, so it could only secretly transfer part of the army to a place bordering the Southern Tang State.

However, since there was a Yunyu country in the middle, there were not many places they bordered.

Important military locations have long been under the control of the Yunyu Kingdom.

However, during the emperor's funeral, no military action was launched.

The dark tide is surging, all out of sight.

On the surface, it was still a grand and lively funeral.

On the day of Battle's departure, Mu Qianmei also brought several important members of the Cloud Feather Kingdom to see him off.

The entire imperial city was in a sad and solemn atmosphere, and at the same time there was a bit of weird tension.

All forces silently walked in the funeral procession.

The coffin of the emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom was made of precious nan wood, and when the spirit came out, there were seventy-two people carrying the coffin.

At the forefront were sixty-four bannermen, holding high the banner umbrella.

Then there was the Emperor's Halo Honor Guard, which numbered nearly 2,000 people, and they carried all kinds of weapons, flags, and all kinds of paper or silk to make "burning live", which was mighty and very majestic.

After leaving the palace, the coffin bearer was replaced by a bearer wearing filial piety clothes, with one hundred and twenty-eight people in each shift, and was replaced by three shifts to carry the coffin, followed by the heavily armed imperial city soldiers.

After that, it was the funeral procession of civil and military officials, imperial relatives and other relatives.

Moreover, in the funeral procession, there are also a large number of monks, Taoist priests, nuns, Taoist aunts, etc., who wear legal robes, hand law enforcement instruments, and constantly play and chant scriptures.

The whole funeral procession is more than ten miles long, from the palace to the cemetery, more than 100 miles along the way, every other distance, there is also a reed hall, a total of the spirit and the funeral procession rest.

This kind of reed hall is also a jade rank golden tile, Zhu Bi is intertwined, and it looks very gorgeous.

For such a grand and luxurious funeral, many people saw it for the first time, and sighed in their hearts.

Even Mu Qianmei participated in such a grand funeral for the first time, no matter what happened to Batel during his lifetime, as the emperor of a big country, the respect he received after his death still showed the prestige of a big country.

Perhaps, for the Southern Tang Kingdom, such a funeral was not only held for the first time, but probably for the last.

It is not only an emperor who is buried, but perhaps also the Southern Tang Kingdom, which was established by Battle.

Because the armies of all tribes are already waiting for the opportunity, except for the original Tatar tribe and a small number of tribes that really support Batyr, many large tribes have already expressed their intention not to support the new emperor, but it is not appropriate to use troops during the state funeral.

And several large tribes have their own forces, and there are many small tribes, all of which have the capital to compete with the Tatar tribes.

There are seven such tribes, and with the Tatar tribe, there are eight large tribes in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

Originally, the Tatar tribe was the largest and strongest of them, but that was with Batyr.

Now, there is no Tatar tribe in Battle, and only some of the old ministers loyal to the Southern Tang State are supporting the new little emperor.

How powerful can such a tribe be?

However, there is a saying that "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", and although the Tatar tribe does not have Battle, the army he built and trained is still the most powerful in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

The wealth of the Tatar tribe is also the largest in the entire Southern Tang Kingdom.

Once the war began, none of the tribes would be the opponents of the Tatars.

However, with eight tribes fighting for the world, who can see what kind of changes will be made in the battle situation?

The vigorous and lively funeral has finally ended.

Mu Qianmei didn't stay longer, but led the group back to Yunyu Country the day after the funeral.

However, Mu Qianmei did not return to Yuehua City immediately, but led the group back

To Feiyun City, which was closest to the Southern Tang Kingdom, she led a part of her people to be stationed in Feiyun City.

Only some members of the delegation returned to Wolhwa City.

It was said that he would go back to report the results of the visit, but in fact, there was nothing worth reporting on, and the small part of the agreement reached during this visit also lost all value with the death of Battle.

The army of the Cloud Feather Kingdom is stationed in the border area and is temporarily in a wait-and-see mode.

In the palace of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, Qin Siyong had a sad face, his brows furrowed, and he was thinking alone.

There were three of the most important ministers of the Eastern Qin State, Wei Xiaohan, Yan Wansong and Zhang Xiaoting.

He asked in a deep voice:

"Who do you think is the most likely person to assassinate the emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom?"

Yan Wansong said in surprise:

"Didn't the Southern Tang Kingdom already capture the assassin and find out the identity of the assassin? It is said that this is a scandal, and the person who really hurt Battle is a palace maid. ”

"And this palace maid was brought back by Battle in the Qinglou, because Battle was her first guest, and she was still an innocent girl, so she stayed in the palace, as an ordinary palace maid, but she was very favored by Battle, so she often served Battle closely."

"However, this palace maid actually has a heart for a long time, and she is in love with a person called Situ Wushuang, and this Situ Wushuang is none other than the nephew of Situ Changxiao, the leader of the Netherworld, who carried out an assassination operation privately, and did not dare to return to the Netherworld Sect after failure, but he still gathered a group of masters under the banner of the Netherworld Sect and established a killer organization, and this assassination was planned by him himself."

"Probably because of the last failed experience, this time he planned very carefully, and the palace maid first won the emperor's trust in the palace and had the opportunity to get close, so on the night of the assassination, the palace maid had already drugged the emperor and made him unconscious, so that Situ Changxiao's killer would be successfully assassinated."

"It can be said that this is a perfect assassination operation that is coordinated with the inside and outside!"

After listening to Yan Wansong's words, Qin Siyong did not immediately express his position, but turned to Wei Xiaohan, wanting to hear his opinion.

Wei Xiaohan groaned slightly, and said slowly:

"I don't think things are as they appear on the surface, and such a seamless assassination operation is definitely not something that Situ Wushuang can plan."

"Chen feels that Situ Wushuang is just a chess piece, and he himself doesn't realize that he is just a chess piece in the hands of others."

"Perhaps, the Qinglou woman who infiltrated the palace knows more things than Situ Wushuang."

"However, it is said that now Situ Wushuang and the palace maid have been secretly executed by the Southern Tang Kingdom, and all the clues have been broken, who knows who will be behind the scenes?"

"Nowadays, rumors about Battle's assassination are spreading, and there are various versions of the story, and even the old ministers dare not speculate."

Qin Siyong couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Yes, such a wonderful assassination puzzle, how many people can do it today?"

The Southern Tang Kingdom wanted to cover up, and all parties still had different opinions on the cause of Emperor Battle's death, and it was widely rumored.

At this time, there was one person whose situation had also become extremely embarrassing and difficult, and that was Situ Changxiao.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and a very small number of people still know one thing, that is, Situ Wushuang was secretly executed for plotting to assassinate the emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom.

He was executed, and the Southern Tang Kingdom did not stop investigating, and Situ Changxiao, as Situ Wushuang's uncle, of course could not escape the blame.

Although the Netherworld Sect he led and the cult alliance under his direct control established some unknown relationships with the Southern Tang Kingdom, it was also during the reign of Battle.

Now, Battle was assassinated, and Situ Wushuang bore the brunt of the assassination, becoming the most direct mastermind.

Whether people believe it or not, all these charges have been placed on him, and he can only bear them.

Executing him, Situ Changxiao's situation became delicate.

His biggest backer, and the biggest collaborator of the cult alliance, was actually assassinated by his nephew, how can this cooperation be carried out?

Now let alone cooperation, he is deeply physically and mentally exhausted in the face of the pressure of various investigations in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

He also didn't believe that Situ Wushuang could plan such a brilliant assassination situation, but now the people who directly participated in the assassination were either killed on the spot, or those who were captured were also secretly executed.

There is no proof of death.
