The situation was not as chaotic as Gu Shenwei imagined.

Since the news of the serious illness of the old Khan King, the people who are familiar with the tradition of Longting have been prepared, especially the herdsmen, whose wealth is mainly livestock, most of which are raised in the suburbs, and in case of sudden danger, as long as people run out of the city, the loss is not too great.

It is true that many people died, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled bore the brunt, many inexperienced outsiders followed, and the tents were all burned down, leaving only the royal palace camp in the north to escape, but the foundation of the Dragon Court is still there, it is a mobile city, it can be rebuilt at any time, and what it needs is a new Khan king.

The meeting place of the kings was located at the southernmost end of the Dragon Court, and all those who entered the temporary camp could see the gray and bare ruins at a glance, many places were still smoking, most of the corpses had been collected by relatives and friends, and many remained in place, and the remaining little flesh attracted many scavenging birds to hover in the air.

The lieutenants of the close guards seemed to want to influence the kings in this way, but the end was a fiasco, and at this critical moment of life and death, every prince was trying to show his brutal side, and they all looked at the ruins with admiration, and even took a few deep breaths and said coldly "a smell of human flesh".

Gu Shenwei also looked at the ruins, but what he was thinking about was where the lotus girl was hiding, and when he turned his head, he saw the captain of the close guard, one of the most important people in the entire Beiting, and perhaps the only person who could turn the tide and stabilize the situation.

Dadu Wei was the half-brother of the old Khan, who had been in charge of the close army for nearly thirty years, and his position was so stable that many people even suspected that he had poured [***] soup into the old Khan.

Fang Wen had already done an investigation, and the fact was that the Grand Lieutenant had paid a great price for his position, he had never married a wife, let alone had no heirs, and voluntarily lived a life like a eunuch, rarely attending the frequent banquets of the nobles of the Northern Court, and even on the most secret occasions, he did not express any opinion on the battle for the throne of the Khan.

In short, this is a near-invisible Grand Captain, and if it weren't for the damage caused by the kings' melee, he probably would never have stood out.

The Grand Lieutenant was a stern old man, slightly well-bodied, still sturdy compared to his peers in his sixties and seventies, and wearing heavy armor, standing at the door of the tent to greet the arriving guests.

His appearance is not good, and he is deeply hidden, Gu Shenwei temporarily used these two words to describe the captain of the capital, and walked towards him.

Dadu Wei obviously recognized the Dragon King, and without waiting for an introduction, he nodded and said, "The Dragon King came early, please go inside and rest for a while." ”

The bland greeting foreshadowed that the negotiations to be held would be a fierce battle.

Gu Shenwei was the fifth to arrive, the tent was very large, more than a dozen female slaves were nervously arranging wine and meat, serving tea and water to the guests, Fang Wen took the opportunity to whisper the four people in the tent, "The fat man is the son of King Zuo Yue, on the day King Zuo Yue committed suicide, he immediately proclaimed himself king, and it is said that several brothers are competing with him; the bearded man is the son of King Yuxin, and his father died in battle......

Before the words were finished, more participants arrived, and several of them were not the princes of the North Court, but high-ranking ministers, either because they had the remnants of the army in their hands, or because they were highly respected, they were also invited to decide the fate of the Dragon Court.

Whether they hate each other or support each other, everyone makes eye contact at most and rarely speaks.

In the end, the king of the Holy Saying entered the tent with the Grand Captain, breaking the hostile silence.

For this rare gathering, the army of the king of the Holy Heavens retreated thirty miles, and he himself brought only two retinues to the meeting, one escort and one staff officer, in the same configuration as the others.

"There are a lot of people. The Holy King said loudly, as if this was the most common banquet in the North Court, "The Dragon King has arrived, haha, everyone be careful, he has the least soldiers outside, here, he is the most threatening figure, and we can't beat him together." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't bring a sword, but what the Holy King said was not too outrageous, even with the use of flesh palms, he could kill many people present.

One of Fang Wenye's tasks was to relieve the siege for the Dragon King, so he also said with a smile: "But as soon as you get out of this tent, even if the Dragon King goes to the ends of the earth, he can't escape the pursuit of the people of Beiting." ”

The Saint King wanted to dominate the party with a joke, and like the Great Captain's efforts, it had failed at the beginning, and no one laughed with him, and the hostility was even more obvious.

Fat Dundun's new king Zuo said that he was the first to make trouble, his position in his clan was still unstable, so he was eager to gain prestige at this gathering, "Everyone is together, let's not talk nonsense, just choose a Khan King now, please allow me to recommend myself, as for the reason, ......"

"Because you weigh the most?" the bearded man interrupted the new king disdainfully, "I have no opinion on choosing the king of Khan, but my father was killed by a villain, and this revenge cannot be avenged, it must be solved first, King Ming, you can give an explanation." ”

Said that King Ming escaped in the melee, but the loss was not small, he was already holding his breath in his heart, and he was even more angry when he was questioned by the juniors, and he took the case, "Little rabbit cub, who are you talking to? Damn, this is a war, and the dead are normal, your father is unlucky, who can he complain about? If you are not convinced, let's fight again to see who can beat whom." ”

The Shadow King is also one of the surviving princes, and he got up and persuaded: "It's all your own family, where does the deep hatred come from?" The Central Plains has assembled a large army on the border, and it will drive straight into it at any time, this is the biggest threat to Beiting, if you want me to say, we can't commit infighting, and the Khan King can also wait first, everyone will go to fight the Central Plains together, and whoever has the greatest credit will be the new Khan King." ”

A minister boldly interjected: "But without the Khan King, you can only fight on your own, and you will definitely not be the opponent of the Central Plains." ”

"The people of the Central Plains are timid and afraid, and the people of Beiting have no problem with one enemy and ten, give me 100,000 close servants, and I will go to capture the emperor back. ”

"Give you 100,000 close guards?ha, the first thing you want to do is kill all of us. ”

"Revenge!"

"Elect the Khan!"

"Hit the Central Plains!"

...... The slave girls stepped aside one after another, giving way to the quarrelsome princes, several of whom had already rolled up their sleeves and were ready to fight.

King Shengyue seemed to like this kind of scene very much, and fanned the flames everywhere, "Your father died too miserably; I don't want to be the king of Khan, don't choose anyone you choose;

Gu Shenwei watched silently, listening to Fang Wen is to introduce the relationship and strength of the parties, he is the only outsider here, and the words he said do not carry much weight, in fact, the main reason why he can participate in the party is that Xiao Yan can't come in person as a woman.

"The Shadow King. Gu Shenwei whispered.

Fang Wen nodded slightly in tacit understanding, "It's him." ”

In the midst of the verbal swords, Gu Shenwei and Fang Wen noticed the same person, the old man said that the Shadow King did not die, but after the chaos occurred, he gave up the throne to a son, which was the smoothest and most uncontroversial transition among the princes.

The new Shadow King is in his thirties, with a flat face common to the people of Beiting, he doesn't talk much, but he can always get the consent of one or two people, and unconsciously, he has become the new prince with the fewest enemies, it is him, who ended the meaningless quarrel and casually curry favor with the strongest, "Everyone, we are all invited by the Grand Captain, why don't you let him say a few words first?"

Standing behind the Grand Captain was 100,000 close servants, the most powerful force in Long Ting at the moment, and his words were naturally full of weight, so everyone shut up one after another, leaving only a few people glaring at each other angrily.

Like the Dragon King, the Grand Captain had been silently watching, waiting for him to speak, when his first words shocked everyone, "I'm ashamed of you. ”

Some people pretended not to care, some jumped up angrily, and finally they all sat down honestly, 100,000 close servants, accounting for almost half of the total number of soldiers in the Dragon Court, was enough to wipe out any force.

The main armies of the kings were stationed on the frontier, and it took at least a month to deliver letters and transfer troops, during which time the close servants had an absolute advantage.

"I heard cries for revenge. The Grand Lieutenant continued, saying that he was not the oldest of all the people, but the highest, and this gave him the right to accuse, "but no one has mentioned the old Khan, have you all forgotten? Just five days ago, the old Khan was assassinated, and his head was still missing. ”

The Saint King coughed, "I remember that we seem to have set a rule and will not mention this matter for the time being. ”

There are too many controversies caused by the death of the old Khan, everyone is suspicious, no one has clear evidence in their hands, and there is no result, so before the party, all parties agreed to avoid mentioning the old Khan, but the first person to break the rules turned out to be the initiator of the party-the Grand Lieutenant of the Near Guard.

"We have also set the rules and discussed them well to end the chaos in the Dragon Court, but I see that the chaos is getting worse. Captain Du said coldly.

The atmosphere froze again, and the Grand Captain, who rarely participated in the government, became aggressive, much to the surprise and surprise of all the kings and ministers who knew him.

Everyone thought of the 100,000 close servants, and even the King of the Holy Saying did not raise any more objections, and even echoed: "Who doesn't want to avenge the old Khan King?

"The murderer is sitting among us. "Captain Metropolitan has scared everyone again.

"Who, please tell the Lieutenant to point it out, and I'll kill him!" called out King Zuo solemnly, but his voice alone echoed in the tent, lonely and embarrassed, and he sat down slowly, his face becoming ugly.

"The murderer thought he was clever and wanted to frame the five maids of the old Khan. "But he went too far, the scene was clean, and the stupidest thing was that he took the head." ”

The Grand Lieutenant paused for a moment, his gaze swept over everyone in the tent, but he didn't linger on anyone more, "I want to say that this is the behavior of a professional killer. ”

Gu Shenwei's surprise was even greater than everyone else's, because he clearly remembered that it was the five female slaves who killed the old Khan king, and the lotus girl left the corpse of Shangguan Nu and the winged guard green falcon who was fed with drugs, in order to blame the king of Kuayu.

Why did the Lieutenant say that the scene was clean?

"Dragon King. For the first time, Lieutenant Commander called out someone's name, "You're a killer, aren't you?"
