Chapter 1: The Devastated Princess's Mansion
The Champa country is not a large place, and the capital Indra Bula is even more limited. There was a riot in the princess's mansion last night, although it was late at night, but the people who like to be lively in the city still spread ten, ten to hundred.
After daybreak, all the people of Indra Bura knew the news.
What kind of thief covets the beauty of the princess and wants to enter the house in the middle of the night to kiss Fangze...... What kind of thief covets the horse and wants to enter the house in the middle of the night~ blending......
All in all, gossip does not lose its popularity because of geography and ethnicity. Like greed and selfishness, watching the excitement is also a sign of human nature, which is an eternal truth.
Early in the morning, when the people of Zhancheng walked out of their homes for breakfast, in a small restaurant not far from the princess's mansion, two people dressed like warriors of the princess's mansion suddenly sat today.
Seeing this, the people of Champa who liked gossip entered the restaurant one after another, ordered some breakfast casually, and sat aside to listen to the conversation between the two.
"Alas, last night was really a bit of a mess!"
"That's right, fortunately, the horse dragged the thief and bought the princess time to escape and shout, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"It seems that we are also going to strengthen the vigilance in the house, I always thought that bad guys would come in from the outside. Now it seems that we can't even notice when they come in from the outside, which gives them an opportunity. ”
"That's right, I used to think that the nobles would be disturbed by the sight of armor-clad samurai in their backyards, but now it seems that it is very necessary."
"By the way, after I took them away last night, I went to the door of the princess's bedroom to be on duty. I heard that you were involved in the interrogation, can you tell me what they are here for? ”
Finally got to the point.
The surrounding people of Cham stopped their movements one after another, and they all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Speaking of which, the other party is not coming for the princess. They were hired to assassinate the horses......"
"What?" Another samurai covered his mouth exaggeratedly and said, "Didn't the horse just help us recapture Hengshan Pass, who has such a deep grudge against the horse that would do this?!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people of Champa nodded one after another.
After the recapture of Yokoyama Pass a few days ago, they had a grand celebration. Every Cham man knows that it was the excellent command of the horses that allowed the Champa to regain the first line of defense of the country.
"Who knows......" The warrior who knew a lot of inside information sighed and said, "If you want me to say, Bacheng is that Li Jue's accomplice, and he is a spy planted in my Cham by the Jiaozhi people."
They didn't want my Champa army to march all the way, so they tried to get rid of the horses and have the best commander in my Champa country stabbed to death......"
"Damn! Don't let me catch that bastard! Otherwise, I'll have him torn to pieces!" ”
Just as the samurai pounded the table in anger, the shopkeeper came up with two bowls of noodles
Finish.
"Two guest officers, this is the ...... of your two points"
"No more!" A samurai got up angrily and said, "I'll go back and help investigate the real culprit behind the scenes, and catch that bastard!" ”
"I'm sorry, shopkeeper, this is face money, you take ......"
"Oh, I can't help it, you haven't eaten this side, I still have to collect money, isn't it a black-hearted business? If it doesn't work, I can't take this money! ”
"You just take it, the shopkeeper, it's not our fault to cause you trouble."
In addition, the samurai pushed and shoved with the shopkeeper for a long time, and in the end, the shopkeeper still accepted the face money half-pushed.
Afterwards, the two samurai hurriedly left the restaurant. Judging by the direction they left, they should be back to the princess's mansion.
After the two left, the diners in the restaurant talked a lot.
"Did you hear that? The assassins are going for the horses! ”
"I heard it, I heard it! What a hate! I think the samurai was right, he must not be able to see our good people in the Champa making a stumbling block in secret.
Think about it, when General Mo Puluo commanded the troops, we were in a stalemate with Jiaozhi, and you couldn't help me, and I couldn't help you.
Now as soon as Zhang Yuma made a move, he immediately recaptured Hengshan Pass. It's only been a few days? An assassin came to the door, wanting to get rid of the colt as soon as possible! ”
"That's right!" A diner said indignantly: "I can't imagine that a Li Jue has died, and there are still remnants!" The Cochin people are really hateful!
It's a pity that we are all ordinary people with flat heads and have no skills. You can't catch that shitty spy and break him to pieces! ”
"There is still a way, but I don't know if you have the courage."
Suddenly, a diner sitting in an inconspicuous corner spoke in a Cham dialect with a local accent: "Our king loves his people and respects their wishes. If we go to the palace to petition together, I am sure that the king will stop and listen to us.
At that time, as long as we talk about this matter, the king will be able to distinguish the interests and disadvantages and make the right choice. ”
"I agree!" The indignant diner immediately stood up and said: "It's not been a day or two since we Champa were bullied by the Jiaozhi people, but now we finally have a turnaround, and the Jiaozhi people want to use intrigue and trickery to strangle this hard-won opportunity in the cradle."
It's hateful! It's shameless!
Although we are light-hearted, there is a saying in the Central Plains that gathers sand into a tower, and gathers less into more. As long as we are united, we will definitely be able to defeat the foreign world and eliminate the internal troubles!
Do you think so? ”
Tang Ning said in the Great Song Dynasty that 'serve the people and be loyal to the officials' can make the blood boil of the veterans who are crawling and rolling in the corpses, and it makes no sense that these words can't fool a group of people who have never seen the world.
A group of diners stood up and said, "I'm for it!" ”
"I agree!"
"Count me in!"
There are also some diners who are cowardly by nature and are afraid of accidents, so they dare not take a stand. But no one forced them, and the man in the lead said, "Good! In this case, let's spread the news first, and let's gather in front of the palace on time at noon! ”
"Good!"
"That's it!"
"I'll bring my eighty-year-old mother and three-year-old child!"
“……”
Just when the people of Champa spontaneously promoted this event for various reasons. Indra II took his son, Jiang Nian's elder brother Indra III, and hurried to the princess's mansion.
When the soldiers stood at the door and saw Indra II coming, they raised their heads and called out to the king.
When they saw Indra III again, they all called out to His Highness.
The two of them cared about their daughter and sister-in-law, ignored these soldiers, and went straight to the princess's mansion.
After entering, the two couldn't help but gasp.
There is an idiom in the Central Plains called devastation, which is very suitable to describe the current princess's mansion.
The stone brick road inside the gate was sprinkled with blackened blood, and the beams and pillars of the building were marked with knives and axes.
The servants all had very haggard expressions, and some even lay on the ground with black ashes on their faces and panted like dead fish.
"Daughter!" Indra II rushed to the backyard with a wail, and Indra III also shouted, "O sister! He also ran towards the backyard.
When they reached the backyard, they found the servants standing at the door of the bedroom in silence. So Indra II eagerly asked, "What about Nian'er?" Princess! ”
The servant trembled and said, "The princess is inside......"
As soon as Indra II heard this, he immediately took three steps and two steps. When I walked to the bedroom door, I reached out and knocked on the door, and the door squeaked and fell.
"Oh my God, what the hell happened here last night!" Indra III covered his mouth and said, "Sister, don't let anything happen to you! ”
Indra II trembled in, and when he entered the house, he heard the voice of a woman sobbing in mourning.
Jiang Nian's mother passed away a few years ago because of anxiety, and there is only one woman in the princess's mansion who can cry in this room, and that is her daughter.
Hearing this sobbing, Indra II knew that his daughter was fine. With a sigh of relief in my heart, I let it go.
When he got closer, he lifted it up again.
I saw my daughter kneeling beside the bed, holding her son-in-law's hand and crying silently. And Zhang Jingming was lying on the bed, and every breath seemed to have exhausted his strength.
"Zhang Jun!" Seeing this, Indra II was in a hurry, and stepped forward and asked, "O Zhang! What's wrong with you! ”
