Chapter 45: The Sudden Mutation of the Royal Court
The Monan grassland is single in the royal court.
The herders here have lost the smiles and pride on their faces and become restless, and the whole camp seems to be filled with an air of imminent turmoil.
The leaders of the Xianbei people scattered all over the place hurried here, because they had learned a great news!
Tanshi Huai Dadan was injured in the assassination, and if it weren't for the fact that Kirby, the leader of the Confidal Sect, could have discovered it early and sacrificed his life to save him, the Xianbei people's sky would have almost collapsed......
In the big tent alone, Sandalwood couldn't sleep, although he was very tired.
He has to arrange everything properly and eliminate all hidden dangers, so that he can comfort his angry heart a little, and comfort his good brother Kirby Neng's sacrifice!
Sandalwood's injuries weren't really serious, because Kirby was able to fly down on him while also keeping his body in front of him......
At that time, most of the Xianbei people's attention was on the two caravan masters who were approaching them, but they didn't notice that a few servants on the side quietly took out the bows and crossbows that had been hidden long ago from the cart!
The three servants who had been prepared for a long time took out a total of six crossbows, and immediately lost the crossbow machine after the first round of shooting, and then raised another strong crossbow with a good crossbow to shoot.
It's just that when they glared at the sandalwood locust and just raised the strong crossbow, they were discovered by Kirby Neng who was quick to shoot beside them.
As a tribal commander, Kirbineng, who had invaded the Han region to fight, was well aware of the great power and extreme speed of this unique weapon of the Han people.
It was too late to shout and remind, and Kirbineng, who had just made up his mind to be completely loyal to his idol, immediately made the decision to sacrifice himself, and immediately pounced sideways at the sandalwood locust......
Kirby was killed instantly, and one of the crossbow bolts pierced Kirbyneng's palm and pierced into the left shoulder of Tanshi Huai.
Fortunately, this crossbow arrow was fired in the second round, perhaps because of the power of the strong crossbow and the confidence in his own archery, the second round of arrows of the Han people was not poisoned, and the first round of arrows poisoned were all blocked by Kirbyneng's body......
The servants who fired the crossbow arrows were killed on the spot by the royal court guards, and all the Han Chinese in both caravans were controlled.
Under Wei Guang's reminder, Tanshi Huai stopped the guards from slaughtering all the caravan personnel, and only ordered them to be taken into custody.
The injured Tanshi Huai was quickly helped up by the guards, and when he saw Kirby Neng who died tragically in front of him, Tanshi Huai suddenly lost control of his emotions, and he fainted with a loud cry......
But fortunately, he was not in a coma for a long time, otherwise Wei Guang, who assisted him in achieving great things, would have lost his life.
Tanshi Huai soon woke up from the big tent, and when he saw that Wei Guang was not by his side, he asked people to call him into the tent to discuss briefly.
But the guards told him that when he was unconscious, the high priest of the royal court and several elders arrested Wei Guang and prepared to be executed in the name of plotting to assassinate Da Shan Yu.
Tanshi Huai was furious and immediately asked the guards to bring their scepters to save Wei Guang.
"Lord...... Fortunately, the lord woke up in time to save him, otherwise...... Otherwise, it is already a dead soul under the knife! ”
Wei Guang, who escaped death, still had palpitations, knelt in the tent and said tremblingly.
"Sir, don't panic, the high priest has long harbored evil intentions, and when I was injured and unconscious, I suddenly had a seizure, and it was my previous negligence that I failed to find out, so that Mr. was frightened......"
Tan Shihuai had never seen Wei Guang panic like this, and he stood up to comfort him with the arrow wound.
Wei Guang was finally relieved when he saw Tan Shihuai say this.
He thought that he would definitely die this time, this merchant's trading strategy was proposed by himself, and the caravan that carried out the assassination was also contacted by himself......
In this way, he is indeed the most suspicious, and the reason that the high priest said is indeed reasonable, so it has also been recognized by most Xianbei people in the royal court.
Wei Guang was in a panic, and even thought that the high priest's behavior was instructed by Tanshi Huai......
This time is different from the intimidation of the knife and axe hand outside the tent when he first saw Tan Shi Huai, if Tan Shi Huai woke up a moment late, he would really die, so Wei Guang also lost his former demeanor.
"Lord, this caravan was indeed recruited by Guang in Shanggu County, and it is indeed Wei Guang's crime to not investigate in detail what it brings, but its assassination plot is really unknown, please check ...... it!"
Wei Guang breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out his thoughts, and kowtowed again.
"Sir doesn't have to be like this, if I die, Sir will not only be in danger of life, but also no good, I still understand this reason. I just want to know who sent these assassins, and I would like to ask him to analyze them for me. ”
Tanshi Huai lay down again with the support of the guards, and said a little weakly.
Wei Guang replied without thinking about it:
"It must be the protector of Xianbei Zhonglang who sent Lu Zhi ......"
Wei Guang was thinking about this problem as soon as the assassination happened, and according to the news reported by the spies sent to Handi, it was most likely Lu Zhi.
At the beginning of his tenure, this Xianbei Zhonglang inspected all the frontiers in the north, investigated in detail the transit places of all Xianbei people, and judged the combat style of Tanshi Huai and the combat strength of his subordinates, all of which Wei Guang knew.
Lu Zhi has long regarded Tanshi Huai as a great enemy, and Wei Guang has long judged this.
In addition, the assassination of foreign leaders on the frontier to strangle the border risk in infancy is also a common method of the Han people.
Therefore, Lu Zhi is definitely the biggest suspect, even if others hate Tan Shihuai, they don't have the strength and courage to take this kind of action, even if it is not his own idea, it must be agreed by him!
"Lord, it's a pity that Kirby Neng has died, but now is not the time to rush revenge, the lord is wise, when he knows that this is the best time to clean up the interior......"
Wei Guang told Tan Shihuai his judgment, and then continued to offer advice.
Tan Shihuai listened to Wei Guang's words, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and was silent for a long time, and waited for a long time before exhaling and saying:
"What Mr. said is very true, but I don't know how to do it, please elaborate on it."
Seeing that Tanshi Huai made the right decision, Wei Guang finally showed a smile on his face, and he was glad that he really chose a good lord.
He organized his language a little, then approached Tanshi Huai and whispered......
————
Soon after Wei Guang was rescued from Shan Yu's big tent, the 50,000 guards of the entire royal court urgently assembled to prepare for battle, and quietly blocked the entire royal court from the periphery, but it was said that the Han people's arrows were poisonous, and Da Shan was already unconscious due to his injuries......
The high priest, together with several elders and several tribal leaders, wanted to enter the tent several times to visit Da Shan Yu's injury, but they were all blocked from the battle by Shan Yu's personal guards.
The High Priest felt that something was wrong.
As the spokesman of the gods, he originally had a supreme position in the hearts of Xianbei people, but since the strong rise of the young Shan Yu of Tanshi Huai, he has gradually been replaced.
The Xianbei people prefer to believe in the leader who has led them to numerous victories and brought them a better life.
Especially after Tan Shihuai killed the former general of Xianbei Zhonglang and led the Xianbei cavalry to attack the Han realm and obtain a large amount of loot, his power among the Xianbei people was like the sky, and he, the Xianbei high priest, could only choose to surrender.
From then on, whatever Sandalwood asked him to do, the High Priest would do so immediately and without complaint.
And now, this Xianbei man's son of heaven is seriously injured and about to die, and some tribes are complaining because of the reorganization policy of that "Han dog......
The High Priest has finally rekindled his ambition to take charge of Xianbei!
That night, several disciples of the High Priest secretly sneaked out of the royal court and went in different directions......
