Chapter 51: Misfortune I
Ji Hou saved the third ghost of the White Horse tribe and brought him back to the Holy City for interrogation, which naturally has far-reaching significance, whether he can dig up more secrets and not to mention, just because this person is alive, it is actually of great value.
Because as long as this person is mastered, Ji Hou may change the dynasty in the White Horse tribe at any time and replace other leaders with him, and this is one of the reasons why the leaders of the White Horse tribe surrendered that day, and even did not hesitate to give up half of the war horse trading interests.
It's like a knife, a knife hanging over the heads of those desolate tribes.
Such an important hostage captive, of course, had to be strictly guarded, but only a day or two after returning to the city, the third ghost was assassinated, using an extremely rare and very violent poison.
Originally, this person was certain to die, but fortunately, Ji Hou found the high priest of the Celestial God Sect at the critical moment, and he actually had a way to unravel this toxin and pull back this person who was already in the ghost gate with one leg.
In the subsequent investigation, he gradually groped for one of Xuanwuwei's personal guards, and after the old third ghost woke up after being in a coma for many days, he also revealed a secret that had not been said before: in order to seek greater benefits, but also to compete for the throne of the tribal leader, he once had a secret transaction with a big man here in the Holy City Terrans, revealing the whereabouts of a team of people and horses to the desolate thieves, hoping that after the desolate robbers killed the Terran soldiers, the White Horse tribe and the human race could have disputes and fights, and he could take the opportunity to take power.
The follow-up to this incident was the fact that Yin Yang led his troops to be ambushed by desolate thieves and almost wiped out. And according to the identification and memories of the third ghost insider, the clue of this matter pointed to one of the guards of the Xuanwu Guard of the Four Elephant Army. In the end, it was finally all the clues that came to one person.
It's not too late for the black turtle to return.
The evidence is conclusive, the evidence is ironclad, and there is no need for anything more, including the places that have always puzzled people before, and now they seem to have answers.
The others in the big tent were stunned, and then a team of men rushed in and detained all the guards who were not too late, except for Yin He. He stood in front of Gui Weichi with a complicated face, and said softly: "I always thought that you treated my eldest brother as a son, why is this?"
Gui Weichi, who looked a little tired, smiled bitterly, and seemed to slowly give up resistance, and sat down on the ground, while saying, "Your eldest brother is very good, I used to really like him." But his ambition is too great, and his talent is too good, and after only a few years, he has become the leader admired by everyone in the Xuanwu Guard, and some people have even knocked on the side to let me step down and give him this son. ”
He turned his head to look at Ji Hou and said astringently, "Right, Elder Ji?"
Ji Hou nodded and said, "That's right, I said that you might as well step back and let Xuanwuwei do things to the young man, but that's also for your good." You're so old, it's better to go home and enjoy the blessings as soon as possible. ”
Gui Weichi shook his head and muttered: "I'm not old, I can still do it, this Xuanwuwei was brought out by me, why should I make way for young people!"
At this point, naturally there is nothing to say, almost all the guards around Gui Weichi were arrested except for Yin He, and he himself was also carried out and imprisoned.
As he was leaving, Ji Hou glanced at him on his stretcher, then gently patted the old man's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Do you know why I have to get rid of you?"
Gui Wei said in a sluggish voice: "Elder Ji, I have been loyal to you for decades......"
Ji Hou interrupted him and said, "The reason why I attacked you is because you not only rely on this position and refuse to leave, but also try to plot against me in secret, waiting for the change of office in two years, to plot my position as an elder, right?"
Gui didn't speak anymore, he looked at Ji Hou with shocked eyes, Ji Hou smiled coldly, waved his hand, and let people carry him away.
※※※
This unexpected incident shook the entire Xuanwu Guard and even the Four Elephant Army, but under the extremely strong Ji Weather suppression, to be exact, he had even communicated with the other two Great Elders, which was equivalent to the entire Elder Council suppressing it.
Just kidding, what kind of power position is the elder, everyone naturally wants to sit down for a longer time, everyone wants to calculate this position?
Xuanwu Weizhong was purged from top to bottom, and many of the Black Turtle's cronies were arrested and replaced with new ones.
As for the most important position of the guard chief, Tie Hongfeng, who looked confused from beginning to end, sat on it, and he also expressed his absolute loyalty to Elder Ji Hou at the first time.
It is said that in that high-rise study, when he was talking about his eagerness and excitement, the deputy commander of the iron guard even raised his knife to cut his skin and splashed blood in the court, swearing to the sky that he would never have two hearts in death.
Subsequently, the Iron Deputy Guard became the Iron Guard and climbed to a new peak in his life.
As for Yin He, he retreated silently in this stormy sea, leaving Xuanwuwei's system silently.
What he did in the Xuanwu Wei tent that day, I don't know if Ji Hou ordered it to be kept secret or someone else deliberately concealed it, there was no leak at all, and he looked like he stayed in the Xuanwu Wei for a short time, from the street manager to the patrol to the old guard chief's personal guard, and then retired, a little inexplicable, and a bit like a dream.
There is a large hall near the Great Pyramid of the Holy City, which enshrines a tall monument of heroic martyrs, on which are engraved many names of the Terran Race who have made meritorious deeds for the Holy City, for the descendants of the Terran to worship and commemorate for generations.
On this day, Yin He and Ji Honglian came to this martyr's hall together, they took tribute and incense candles in their hands, and found the brick engraved with the word "Yin Yang" in a corner of the majestic martyr's monument.
The candle flame burned, the green smoke rose, Ji Honglian's eyes were slightly red, her hands were closed, and her lips moved slightly towards the name with her eyes closed, as if she was praying for something, while Yin He looked at those two words silently, as if there were a thousand words, and finally turned into a sigh.
Coming out of the main hall, Ji Honglian's expression gradually calmed down, and after glancing at Yin He, he said, "You have withdrawn from the Xuanwu Guard now, do you have any plans in the future?"
Yin He shook his head and said, "Not yet, but this time I can find out the truth and help the eldest brother avenge this, which is enough." ”
Ji Honglian asked with some concern: "You have no military position now, what if you are bullied by that charming woman again after you go home?"
Yin He smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
Ji Honglian let out an "oh" and said, "By the way, before I went out today, I met my father, and after he heard that I was going to come with you to pay tribute to Brother Yin, he asked me to tell you that I would go to see him when I was free, he had something to say to you." ”
Yin He was slightly stunned and said, "Did Elder Ji say something about it?"
Ji Honglian shook her head and said, "I didn't say this, I just called you to go over." But as she spoke, she said with some expectation: "Maybe you have been taken by my father and want to reuse you, or else, let's go over today?"
Yin He couldn't help laughing, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's okay, anyway, it's okay now, just go over." ”
Ji Honglian slapped her palms and seemed to be extremely happy with her smile. The two walked all the way, walked through the streets, and came to the settlement of the nobles by the big pyramid, and soon arrived in front of the Ji family's mansion.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that Elder Ji Hou's henchman Wen Yun actually happened to be standing at the gate, and when he saw Yin He and Ji Honglian coming over, he also smiled and walked over with a smile.
