Chapter 59: Bad News
King Chiyuan ordered urgently, Helian did not dare to delay, and hurried to the palace city on horseback, but the snow road was difficult to travel, and the usual two-hour journey took almost a night to arrive.
When he arrived at the main hall covered in wind and snow, he found that King Helian Fu was also here, and he ...... His face and his father's face were extremely ugly.
It seemed that something big had happened, and Helian was determined to be suspicious, and hurriedly saluted: "Son, see ......."
"Excuse me."
King Chiyuan frowned tightly and glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard presented Helian with a letter, and when he took the letter and looked at it, his expression suddenly sank.
"Apohan died in battle?! How is this possible!!
Helian Duel's expression changed several times, and his whole face showed a complex color that was difficult to make out of his memory, and finally he gradually grasped the letter from his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Where did this rumor come from! Apohan has been fighting with his children for many years, and he has carried all the dangerous situations, how can a curved mountain kill him!!
"Brother Great Emperor is angry...... King Jing hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, "General Apohan is a great warrior of Chiyuan, and his father and his subordinates don't want to believe that this matter is true, but...... Alas...... Forget it, let's let the messenger talk about it."
After speaking, King Jin summoned the soldier who delivered the letter, and when the man saw Helian Duel, he suddenly knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and slammed his head on the hard and cold Shisheng Stone.
From time to time, blood dripped down, and the wounds on his body were torn and gradually oozed blood stains from the wounds that were bandaged because of his great movements.
As the face that had been burned by the fire slowly lifted, Helian was shocked and hurt when he saw it, and he recognized it for a long time that this person was the close attendant who had been following Apohan for a long time, Katula.
His tears fell down the almost blackened, uneven flesh, and a dignified eight-foot man cried out in pain, "Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent...... Seeing the general, he ...... Drink and hate, !!."
His presence had almost confirmed the truth of the news, and Helian closed his eyes in almost despair, and with all his strength he could barely support his body that was about to fall, and squeezed out a word from between his trembling lips and teeth: "Say!"
Katula knelt on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, placed them at his sides, and the voice of his injured throat was hoarse and indecipherable, "Your Highness, the two highnesses, the general and the king of Rui led more than a hundred guards, and when they passed through the winding mountain road, suddenly a large number of boulders rolled down from the cliffs on both sides......
It was snowing that day, and the mountain road was already difficult to walk, and they had to wait for the soldiers in front of them to clear the snow, and the footsteps of a group of people naturally slowed down.
Although Katula is five big and three thick, he is very careful, and he reminds against the cold wind whistling, "General, the mountain road is dangerous, so you should drink less bars."
"Tsk...... Mother-in-law, what do you know?" Abohan glared at him drunkenly, it seemed that he had drunk too much, "This is the medicinal wine that the little city lord personally brewed for us, the more you drink, the more you can strengthen your body, I don't believe you can taste it!"
As he spoke, he poured a few more sips of the wine to Katula, and the weather was cold, and the mountain wind was even colder, and the medicinal wine that came out of the corner of Apohan's mouth flowed to the tip of his beard, and almost all of it was dripping into ice, and it was good to drink some wine to warm his body.
Katula took the jar and said, "The general forgot, you have already given this medicine and wine to your subordinates and have twenty-eight jars."
"Hahahahaha...... We...... Belch...... We've all forgotten...... Fortunately, the little city lord gave us the recipe for medicinal wine, and Qingjier also did it, and he will do this for us in the future!"
"The general drank too much, you forgot, Qingjier had injuries on his legs and waist, and the day he returned to Chiyuan, he went back to his hometown to marry his daughter-in-law."
"Oku...... Yeah...... We really forgot, it's okay! Isn't there still a Fudan, he can ...... too."
The two were chatting, and suddenly a small pebble fell on the shoulders of Katula on both sides of the cliff, he thought it was blown by the mountain wind, but suddenly there was a heavy object falling from the rear, and the sound of the soldiers screaming in amazement.
He hurriedly looked up, and a boulder fell from the sky and smashed at him, and Apohan narrowly knocked the boulder away with a punch, but for some reason, Apo
A hint of surprise flashed across Han's face.
Katula was also a little surprised, he had followed Apohan for many years, and the great general could pull out the mountain, and even he Katulla didn't pay attention to a single stone, but how could the general be so difficult today? Could it be that I drank too much wine?
There was no time to think about it, the others were not as lucky as the Katula, no one expected that soon after leaving the royal capital, they were ambushed, and half of the soldiers of more than 100 people were smashed into pulp by falling stones, and the screams for help were chaotic, and someone not far away shouted: "Your Highness be careful!!
The drunken Apohan remembered that there was still His Royal Highness King Rui in the army, and although he didn't look down on Helian Qu, for the sake of the king, he still had to fulfill the duties of a courtier.
He scolded, dodging and smashing along the way, shouting at the top of his throat, "Defend and defend!! Fuck us up!"
The other party was clearly prepared, and at the same time as the boulder fell on the fire oil explosives that were enough to burn them, and countless torches fell from the sky, Katula looked at the hellish situation at this time, and suddenly realized that this time there was no escape.
The wolf king army has long put life and death aside, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that the wolves will have no owner, His Royal Highness can no longer return to the frontier, and the general must not have anything happen!
Without hesitation, Katula ran in the direction of Apohan, and just as he was about to run to him, a deafening explosion sounded from behind.
Katula roared, trying to protect the general with his body, but he didn't, and in the confusion, Apohan suddenly turned around, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him over, and was protected under him along with several soldiers.
When the explosion subsided, a shrill sound rang in Katula's ears, and the blood from his forehead flowed into his eyes, and his eyes were so blood-red that he couldn't see anything clearly, and just as he was terrified in his heart, his shoulders were grasped.
Katula wiped the blood from his eyes, looked at a bloody face in a blur, and his lips trembled slightly, not knowing what to say.
Speaking of this, Katula couldn't stop crying: "Your Majesty, the great general has been fighting all his life, desperately protecting His Royal Highness King Rui and several wolf kings, and he has not even left a complete body until he dies, and he still asks the king to call the shots!!
The Katula's heart was so angry that he slammed his head on the ground, and for a moment blood splattered everywhere, and everyone present was shocked.
Helian Du took a deep breath and suppressed the underwaters in his heart, he took two steps forward, and after making a big bow, he knelt in front of the Katula, his voice hoarse and trembling: "Please Father!!"
"Humph!!"
The more the King of Chiyuan listened, the more angry he became, he slapped his hand on the table with a blushing face, making a loud "bang" sound, "A prince of the Heavenly Family, a general of the Wolf King Army with great achievements, was actually attacked by miscellaneous soldiers who appeared out of nowhere, and suffered heavy casualties, if this matter is not clear, the Red Yuan Imperial Family will become a big joke!! cough cough cough cough ......"
King Chiyuan suddenly coughed violently while holding his chest, and the maid waiting beside him hurriedly handed him tea and persuaded, "Your Majesty, Madame Xiyi has asked you to pay attention to the dragon body......
He took the tea and drank it down, gasping for breath for a while before saying, "You guys retreat first, the Lone King will send someone to find out about the case."
As a few people withdrew from the main hall, they met the imperial history of the Imperial Court in front of the palace, and Helian decided to guess the thoughts of King Chiyuan, and looking at the face of King Jin on the side, he must be the same.
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and it wasn't until they were about to leave the palace that King Jin asked, "What does the eldest brother think?"
"The mastermind of this assassination must be hidden in the royal capital!"
Helian Due's voice trembled, and he squeezed out this sentence from his throat, he was grief-stricken, but his mind was still clear, and he understood it all the way.
Quhuan Mountain is the only way from the royal capital to the frontier, several of the big roads are intertwined, and the small roads are like a maze of intricate ones, if you are not familiar with the terrain, ordinary people once they enter it is a dead end, not to mention stabbing in a specific road and a specific time!
And those who know this information are only the close ministers who can freely enter and leave the royal city and appear in the main hall.
Even, their eyes should be in the army led by Apohan and King Rui, plus his father did not hand over the case to the Imperial Court, not a certain prince, which means that his father
The king suspected that there might be a partisan strife between the princes.
In fact, when he only knew about this bad time, Helian Jue's first thought was that when Abohan was leaving, Si Nanyue asked him to be careful of King Rui's instructions, and at that time, Helian Jue had a trace of suspicion about King Jin, but this suspicion quickly disappeared.
Because in this ambush, King Rui lost a leg and an arm, and his face was burned, such a big price, King Jin would definitely not do this, so who is it......
With a general direction, Helian Duel had confidence, his body was full of murderous energy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person was like an extremely dangerous beast.
With just one glance, King Jin, who had just wanted to say something, shuddered, and swallowed the words in his throat raw.
Helian Duel's eyes were red, the muscles on his face trembled with anger, his eyes looked fiercely at the envelope that was no longer in shape, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Apohan, soon, the initiator will show his true form, and then this king will avenge you with his own hands!!
The soldiers who came out of the battlefield were born different from others, not to mention the murderous monster like Helian Du, even if he stood in place and didn't say anything, he had an irresistible sense of oppression, not to mention that he was in extreme anger and pain at this time.
King Jin was shocked by him, did not dare to stay longer, casually found an excuse to leave in a hurry, Helian was just about to get on the horse, from the corner behind him came a hoarse "Your Highness".
Helian looked behind him for the sound, and it was Katulla standing in the far corner, and his heart couldn't help but feel even more sour.
Step by step towards the Katula, looking at the hideous face in front of him, the cold golden eyes gradually became sad.
After a long time, he patted Katula's shoulder, "If you are injured like this, then go back to the palace of King Xiao with this king, and from now on stay in the royal capital, make a courtyard for this king, and there is no need to go back to the frontier."
"Your Highness!" Katula's burned face couldn't make an expression, but the speed of his speech was a little faster, "The subordinates are all skin injuries, and there is no big problem, how can people who have turned over the sword mountain and the sea of fire still be afraid of these!" I just called Your Highness to tell you......
Katula took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said, "Before the general died, he said, "400,000 wolf king army, always loyal to Your Highness", if one day you still need the wolf king army, all the soldiers will swear allegiance to Your Highness!"
