Chapter 0037: Han Bao is missing
Sure enough, this hunch was quickly confirmed. The next day, the shocking news came that the queen was in a different place in her bedchamber, and her condition was unbearable.
But the strange thing is that the guards of the palace were unaware, and the guards were unharmed.
The second piece of news is that Hanbo, Runge, Namo, and Zag mysteriously disappeared at the same time.
Such a result was both expected and unexpected by me, and I could not have expected that the situation would develop so rapidly and so bloody and tragic.
I began to hate my choice, whether it was to cooperate with the queen to marry Iga or to marry Ria at the advice of the priest, it would not have been this tragic result, and my so-called loyalty and friendship had harmed Hanbao and of course the queen indirectly. I pounded my chest so hard that I had a splitting headache.
Hanbao is gone, Liya is gone, the queen is also gone, the fate of the princess is unknown, what's the point of me staying here?
When I first came to the valley, I thought it was a calm world, the last paradise on earth. I used to be attached to him, full of fantasies. But I don't want it to be more cruel and bloody than the real world.
Could it be that my entry has disturbed the balance here? Is it true that an isolated world cannot allow the invasion of the outside world? Is it really so effective divination—a great omen?
What am I going to do?
Riya's father, Ga Tengji, came to visit out of the blue, and although he was not able to save her, the cave master thanked me for my efforts and warned me that the priests might attack me.
I am ashamed of this, knowing that if I agree to the priest's suggestion and marry Liya, the cave master standing in front of me at this time will become my father-in-law, and Liya will be able to escape the fate of being sacrificed to the tiger.
Although Han Bao would be sad to do so, it would at least save Liya's life, and the queen and the little prince would not die. Alas, it was my naivety and immaturity that harmed them.
The cave lord Gadenji also told me a big secret: "In fact, the queen and we have agreed not only to use your wedding to control the priest and the other four cave masters, but also to kill the priest and Hanbao if necessary, so as to never fight for power and profit. But because this plan is too cruel, and you are an outsider after all, and a good friend of Han Bao, I am afraid that you will be shaken, so I didn't tell you the truth. I was hesitant to tell the king or the priest about it, but I didn't know that the priest had already gotten the news. ”
"There are the eyes and ears of the priests in the inner palace, probably among the several cave masters and the captain of Gadori. I told him why the priest knew.
"No wonder the priest acted in advance, took control of me and Wangton's son, and told us not to act rashly, so the queen's action was a sure failure. The cave master added.
Hearing the words of the cave lord of Gadengji, he was really shocked into a cold sweat, I really didn't expect the queen to be so vicious and the priest to be so thoughtful, it seems that King Ba's judgment is not wrong at all.
"And at this critical juncture, you suddenly left the inner palace and alienated the princess, in fact, you made a right choice. Avoided a bloody massacre, but I don't understand how you suddenly made this decision?"
I just replied lightly: "Because the prince gave me a dream, and told me that the consequences of marrying the princess would be bloody." ”
The cave lord of Gadenji will be skeptical of my explanation, but he still advises me to make plans early and leave the valley, after this incident, the priest will not let me go, if I can go outside, do not tell outsiders the secret of the White Tiger Ba, so that the descendants of the Emperor can live a stable and stable life.
In the end, the cave master of Gadenji, like everyone else, asked the question - what is the outside world like?
I finally believe that people are always full of strong curiosity about the unknown world, and this is the case with Han Bao, this is true with priests, this is true with queens, and this is no exception to the cave lord Gadenji.
I laughed but didn't answer, saying that one day you will understand, of course it's better not to understand.
I think of a catchphrase – curiosity kills cats.
It's time to go, and it's time for me to prepare my own itinerary.
Unfortunately, the next day I was bitten by a poisonous snake on my foot, and although it was not fatal, the whole left calf was swollen into a thigh, and of course I could no longer expect a medicine man or a priest to treat me, so I had to bandage it hastily.
I need two crutches to barely walk, and this is the last invention I made in this valley that I had Longge build beforehand.
The priests' men quickly informed me to the divination hall in the royal palace. In addition to the priests, there are also five cave masters and Gadori captains in the hall, except for Gadenji, the father of Wangton and Liya. This time the priest called me a messenger, and I knew what that title meant.
"Messenger, I am saddened by the misfortune that has happened in the valley, and it is because of you. The priest's tone was as calm as possible, but the anger in his heart was palpable.
"This tragic result is caused by you, if Liya doesn't die, things will be completely different!" I retorted.
"Hanbao's departure has nothing to do with Liya, it is completely bewitched by your fallacies. At last the priest roared in anger.
"I promised you to persuade Han Bao to stay, marry Princess Yiga, and inherit the position of Prime Minister and Priest, and I have fulfilled my promise, it is you who deceived me and Han Bao into putting Liya to death and bring things to this point. "I am-for-tat, and though I cannot shake the priesthood, he should remorse his foolishness.
"I'm not too worried about Han Bao's departure, the young man goes out to wander around, understands the dangers of the world, and suffers hardships, I believe he will come back. The priest was still looking for excuses and excuses for the loss of his beloved son.
"Dream of it, you took away Han Bao's love with your own hands, it is tantamount to becoming his wife-killing enemy, and he will hate you for the rest of his life. "I was angry at the shamelessness of the priest and hurt him with the most vicious language possible.
My words worked, and the priest was speechless, and sighed deeply: "Pi Jun, I used to have high hopes for you, but you are very stubborn, and now that things have come to this point, how do you plan to end?"
"I will leave here and never come back. ”
"Hahaha......" The priest suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes pressed into me, and said fiercely, "You are so naïve, do you think I will let you go easily?"
"What do you want?"
"You have been in the valley for more than two months, and everything in Pakistan is well understood, and letting you out of the valley is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there are our enemies outside the valley.......
"Unless what?" I knew what was behind his "unless" that the cave masters had warned me about.
"Unless you go back to the Emperor. "The shaman finally told me what he had planned, and it was the best reason and foolproof way to get rid of me.
"It seems that I have to go to the gentleman to complain. "It's not the worst for me, I'm prepared for it.
"By the way, by the way, I will marry Princess Yiga in ten days, and if Han Bao does not return, our descendants will become the next generation of prime ministers. After the blows of these things, King Ba was bedridden. A month later, the prince will act as the agent of Pakistan, but you won't see any of that. ”
The priest took Princess Yiga as his wife, and I was really surprised! Poor Yiga! I failed her, and although I was a princess, I had to marry someone I didn't love. In this way, the priest is still in power, and with the departure of King Ba, the disabled young prince has become a puppet in the hands of the priest, no wonder he is so proud.
"However, your arrival still has a benefit, that is, it has contributed to the unity within Pakistan, and the seven cave masters have been re-twisted into a rope, and the prosperity of Pakistan is just around the corner. The priest added.
A madman! A complete madman! A frog at the bottom of a well! I really took my big lie as an opportunity to revive the country of Pakistan, restore the Zhou Dynasty, and compete with the princes of the Central Plains.
So for the conceited and ignorant, lies are often convinced of them, while the proverbs of truth are dismissed as lies.
I was speechless in the face of such a madman.
Obviously, there are only five cave masters, how can it be said that there are seven cave masters, and the other two must have been controlled, and it seems that the internal strife did not end with the death of the queen.
