Chapter 189: Conspiracy and Accident
News of Roko's death has spread throughout Kosovo, and all but the Principality of Nebuchu feel that this is good news. Because he has already been famous in the southern and northern wars over the years, his death is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Nebuchu, and the damage to the enemy country is undoubtedly a matter of joy.
Almost no one felt that there was any conspiracy in this, and even a few knowledgeable people would suspect it, but they could not come up with strong evidence to prove it, so the other three countries around Estonia did not strengthen their vigilance because of this.
Sloh covers an area even larger than Nebuchu, it has a full eight cities, and in the Gobi of Kosovo, it is a large country that can be ranked. In the wars that have taken place in Kosovo, it has always been able to get some sweetness.
The lord of the country is Grand Duke Slow VI, a young man with a gentle temperament and no ambition, and the person who really holds the authority of this country is the great general Sauron, a middle-aged warrior who is more than half a hundred years old, and has a high-level cultivation of the third level of gold.
Fortunately, this old minister was loyal and extremely respectful to the Grand Duke of Slow, which allowed Slow VI to enjoy the glory and wealth brought by this country.
In the palace of the king of Slo, while playing with a flying eagle bound by iron chains, Slow VI listened to the report of a middle-aged courtier, but his mind was obviously more on the flying eagle and did not pay much attention to what the courtier said.
This middle-aged courtier was none other than the Grand General of the Duchy of Slo, First Count Sauron, and he was talking about how to annex Estonia, but unfortunately after talking about it, he realized that the young king had not paid attention to him at all.
He couldn't help but cough lightly twice, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty! Estonia is a land that the former king has always been keen on, you should put more energy into it!"
Slow VI's face was a little embarrassed, so he had to hand the flying eagle to the chamberlain on the side, rubbed his hands and said: "The country has you to take care of it, you don't need to tell me about these things......
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Sauron: "Foolish! The Duchy of Slow is the family business of His Majesty. How can you be so careless! The old minister is still alive and well, if he dies one day, who will Your Majesty rely on?!"
He was the only one in the entire Duchy of Slow who dared to speak to the king like this. In his early years, he was a trusted minister of Slow V, and during his reign, he gradually built the principality into what it is today. Therefore, the prestige was extremely high, and the young king could only listen to his teachings quietly.
When he finally finished speaking, Shut VI said, "I have written down all your words, and I will definitely live up to your expectations......
Then he didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, the widow got two treasures, one of which can calm the soul and calm the nerves, which is very beneficial for prolonging life. Take it with you when you leave. ”
How could Zoro not know the king's thoughts, but he had no choice but to kneel on the ground and respectfully said, "Weichen thanked Your Majesty Longen...... Since His Majesty didn't want to continue to listen to the minister's nagging, the minister knelt down. ”
Slow VI didn't keep him either, but just had the treasure wrapped. After taking it and letting Sauron take it away, a conversation between the kings and ministers ended, and the young king was helpless, because he was not interested in the facts of the country.
After Zoro left, one of the chamberlains couldn't help but mutter, "Your Majesty is the master of this country." Sauron is just an earl, what qualifications does he have to teach His Majesty a lesson......"
When Slow VI heard this, his face instantly turned cold, and he slapped the chamberlain in the face, and scolded: "Dog minion! Sauron is a widow's humerus minister!
Then he immediately called the guards in. Pointing to the chamberlain who had collapsed to the ground, he said, "Pull it out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs!" Inform the rest of the palace that if anyone dares to criticize Count Sauron in the future, they will all follow this rule!"
Although he is not interested in state affairs, he is not stupid. Sauron's importance to the country is self-evident, if the words of this chamberlain spread today, it will be troublesome to chill the old minister's heart in the future.
......
Naturally, Sauron had no way of knowing what was happening in the palace, and after leaving the palace, he was helped into the carriage by the old butler. In his early years, he suffered serious injuries on the battlefield, and he was not treated in time, so his left leg was a little lame, so although his cultivation was profound, he sometimes needed help from others.
When the old housekeeper saw the helpless look on his master's face, he immediately understood what was happening, and he comforted: "Master, relax your heart, Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, but he is just young and playful, and it will be fine in two years." ”
Zoro shook his head and said with a little sadness: "I'm not sad that Your Majesty is playful, after all, for the future of the country, even if it is hard and tired, what's the matter...... It's just that every time I see His Majesty, I am reminded of the previous king...... If he hadn't taken care of His Majesty, what would he have to do to accompany the king under the spring? ”
There was silence in the carriage for a while, and of course the butler understood the good intentions of this important minister of the court, but the level involved in these matters was too high, and as a minion, it was inconvenient for him to continue to talk about it.
Not too far from the palace, suddenly I heard a loud "bang", and the carriage shook violently, only to see that the carriage made of sterling silver was shot through a hole.
The guards outside were on guard and shouted, "There is an assassin, hurry up and protect the general!" As soon as he finished speaking, another man was pierced by an arrow.
Zoro and the butler in the carriage glanced at each other, obviously seeing a touch of strangeness in each other's eyes, and the butler didn't care much at this time, and left the carriage directly to deal with the matter.
As the number of corpses on the ground grew, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street scattered for shelter, the merchants hurriedly closed their doors to prevent themselves from being affected by this unwarranted disaster.
Several more guards were shot dead one after another, and the butler discovered the location of the murderer, and at the top of an attic sixty feet away, a man in a black cloak held a golden longbow in his hand, and the beams of light rushed in their direction with a roar.
The butler took out a long knife in his hand, and seven layers of silver-white fighting qi shrouded his body, wanting to take down the assassin, but suddenly found a beam of light rushing towards him, he quickly dodged, but was still pierced through the thigh by this arrow!
In an instant, blood flowed like a torrent of blood, and a painful look appeared on his face, and he shouted frantically in the carriage: "Master, hurry up! This assassin's cultivation is too strong, and the minions are not able to stop him!"
But Sauron's figure did not get out of the carriage, because he had already seen the situation outside through the glass window, and there was no way to escape at this time, because as soon as he got out of the car, he would be shot by the man.
The man in the cloak on the top of the attic had a calm face, and beams of light rushed out of the longbow in an orderly manner. There was a faint sadness in his eyes, which was incompatible with this bloody scene.
He suddenly saw an old man lying on the ground beside the carriage wailing, and directly ended the man's life with one arrow, which seemed to him to be the best relief.
It wasn't until there was no living person left in sight that he leapt down from the attic, put away the golden longbow in his hand, and headed straight for Sauron's carriage.
At this time, a layer of cold sweat had oozed from Zolon's forehead in the carriage, and he realized that today's incident was definitely not accidental, he had countless enemies in his life, after all, there were countless people who died on the battlefield because of him, but there was absolutely no one with such a high level of cultivation!
Hearing the sound of "boom", the door of the carriage was smashed by the cloaked man's punch, and the moment the eyes met, Zoro finally saw the assassin's appearance clearly.
"Some time ago, the elder of the Tenglan Pavilion said that I was worried about my life, and I still felt unimpressed in my heart at that time, but I didn't expect it to come true today...... Whether or not this catastrophe can be overcome depends on my own creation......"
When his voice fell, he suddenly became difficult, and there was an extra seven-star long sword in his hand, and after injecting fighting energy, the golden light flashed, and he went straight to the man's life, but he suddenly saw the man in the cloak stretching out a palm, and seven layers of golden light shrouded his arm, and he actually blocked his full force.
"I originally wanted to say goodbye to you, but time is too tight to say more...... Go all the way. The cloaked man's voice was slightly magnetic and sounded extremely pleasant, but it was a pity that Sauron could no longer taste it.
I saw that he broke the long sword violently, turned his palm into a fist and slammed directly at Sauron, between the lightning and the stone and fire, a trace of blood mist burst out from Sauron's chest, and his life was directly harvested.
A flash of regret flashed in the cloaked man's eyes, and he slowly exited the carriage, he took out a pocket watch from his arms, looked at the time on it, and muttered: "It seems that it is impossible to visit it......"
I saw that his figure suddenly became illusory, and after a while, he disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only a pile of warm corpses at the police bureau who rushed to hear the news.
Near the palace, the elder of the two dynasties, Count Sauron, was killed on the spot, and the entire Duchy of Shut was in an uproar, just like the assassination that happened in Nebuchu three days ago.
In the palace of King Slo, Solon VI is pale and his eyes are puffy, and Sauron, whom he has always regarded as the pillar of his country, is killed in the street, and he vows to find the murderer and avenge Sauron!
"The murderer's case was handled in a very short time, and the whole process did not exceed six minutes, which is why the Public Security Bureau could not rush to the scene in the first place...... The old lord himself has a golden third-level cultivation, and if he wants to kill him so easily, he has the audacity to speculate that the murderer has at least a golden ninth-level peak cultivation......"
Kneeling on the ground was the director of the security bureau of the royal city, and now the entire royal city was under martial law, the security level was raised to the war level, and all the soldiers were on standby, waiting for the king's dispatch at any time.
Slow VI had no heart to listen to his useless analysis, and after driving the head of the sheriff away, he sat alone in the palace, his fists clenched and his eyes full of hatred.
"A small Estonian brought out a big fish...... The rivers and mountains of the Principality of Slo are not yet in the turn of you rats!"
