Chapter 70: Tiger Slave

In the Khitan, the emperor was naturally the highest decision-maker in the country's military and political affairs, as well as the highest military commander.

The crown prince is a high-status status, not a real official position in the Khitan, which is ridiculous to say, today's Khitan, there are two kings of Yan Zhao, one is the emperor's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan.

The other is Yelu Hongji, the crown prince and king of Yan Zhao!

One is the emperor's younger brother and the other is the crown prince, which is understood in a literal sense, indicating that both of them have the right to inherit the unification.

Yelu Chongyuan even has the title of marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, with indescribable dignity.

It's a pity that he, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, is more of an honor, unless the emperor personally leads the troops, he has no chance to command any of the more than 2.3 million Khitan troops.

More often, the person who leads the troops to fight will be Xiao Hui, the king of the Northern Courtyard, or Yelu Yixian, the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, and it will not be Yelu Chongyuan's turn to lead the troops alone.

And Yelu Hongji, the king of Yanzhao, commanded one of the most powerful Khitan troops, the leather room army, 300,000 leather room troops are all in control, this person has never been smiling, as long as he appears, even if he is an old Khitan minister, he is not allowed to give him three points.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally knew that Yelu Hongji would be the real heir of the emperor, and Yelu Chongyuan's title of imperial brother and generalissimo of soldiers and horses was won by him from the emperor's bet, not a real pardon.

For the sake of these two false titles, Yelu Chongyuan almost lost his real position - King Yan Zhao!

The land of Yanzhao under the jurisdiction of the Khitan is actually the sixteen states of Yanyun!

This is the richest and most populous place in the entire Khitan country, which can be called the land of rice and grain of the Khitan.

The emperor's seemingly dim-witted Feng Yelu Chongyuan is the emperor's younger brother, the highest position under the imperial power of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

The target is his fundamental place, Yan Zhao!

If it weren't for Yelu Chongyuan discovering the emperor's sinister intentions, he would now be a rootless tree, a sourceless water, and was kept by the emperor's side as a poor favorite.

When the prince asked, Yelu Chongyuan, who felt extremely humiliated, naturally couldn't speak, and at this time, Yelu Yixian, who was in charge of the Northern Privy Council, had to answer.

Speaking of which, the Northern Privy Council is not only the auxiliary body of the northern official system, but also the highest military and political body in the country.

It carries the will of the emperor, handles military aircraft, and controls the military power of the whole country.

Although the Southern Privy Council was an auxiliary body of the southern official system, it did not deal with the military affairs of the Han land and did not lead the Han army.

Under the Northern Privy Council, the Northern and Southern Prime Minister's Offices are specifically responsible for the military and civilian affairs of the tribes, and all the palaces are deployed to take charge of the military and civilian affairs of the palace guards.

The tribe and the palace guard are all the existence of the integration of military and government. In front of the palace, the inspection department is specifically responsible for the palace of the guard.

The Wujing Left-behind Division led the Han Army and the Bohai Navy in Wujingzhou County, and the guards and pro-troops in Nanjing commanded the Han Army in the region.

The envoys of the states of the Han Dynasty, including some of the assassins, were also in charge of the military and civil affairs, commanding the festival town soldiers and township soldiers under their control, and some also led the forbidden army.

Under the Jiedu Envoy Division, there is a horse and infantry army command envoy, which is in charge of the Jiezhen soldiers.

Therefore, the crown prince was ready to ask for the guilt, and Yelu Yixian, who was the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, could not avoid it no matter what.

Then he bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the matter of the startled horse rushing, Weichen has ordered a thorough investigation, presumably soon, there will be a result."

Before the results came out, the twelve rushing war horses had all been killed by the Golden Warriors, and the twelve ironclad horsemen on the back of the war horses who were not able to control the horses had also been corrected by the Golden Warriors on the spot!

Xiao Tong, the general of the inspection department in front of the palace, has already tied his arms and waited outside the tent for His Majesty to send out, and the generals of the left and right inspection divisions are also waiting outside the tent.

The palace guard general Nahuer has been imprisoned, and at the same time, there are thirty-six direct superiors of the twelve ironclad cavalry who are not able to control the horses, and the golden wrestler has taken over and began to torture them if they have anything to do with the matter.

I believe that tomorrow morning, an extremely detailed file will be presented on the desk of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Yelu Hongji frowned and said: "Xiao Tong is a descendant, and Nahuer is the confidant of his father, if they have bad intentions, there is a better way to do this unspeakable thing, therefore, this king does not believe that they will rebel and make trouble." ”

Yelu Chongyuan Yin said: "Yes, they won't, haha."

Before His Majesty's assassination, this king was also assassinated by incredible means, if it were not for the blessing of the ancestors, His Highness would see the remains of this king today, not a living Yelu Chongyuan.

The two assassinations were carried out in the midst of all hosts, and if there is no internal response among the military horses, this king does not believe it.

Please ask Your Highness to investigate the assassination of His Majesty at the same time, and at the same time investigate the assassination of this king, this king feels that these two unbelievable assassinations should be from the hand of one person! ”

Li Yuanjing, who stayed in Xijing, hurriedly came out of Qiyu and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, at three o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, His Royal Highness the Imperial Brother's marching army was less than ten miles away from the east gate of Xijing, and suddenly the sky collapsed, the flames rose, and the loud noise was still clearly heard ten miles away.

The scene was blurred with flesh and blood, miserable, His Royal Highness the Imperial Brother's ears were traumatized, when the humble duty arrived, he still bled more than once, the four horses pulling the carriage were shattered by the loud noise, His Royal Highness's driver was stoned to death by the wheels of the previous carriage crashing, and there were four palace guards killed at the same time, and there were as many as 21 injured people, please Your Highness Mingjian! ”

Yelu Hongji looked at Yelu Chongyuan without changing his face, and then asked Li Yuanjing: "Is it true?" What did you find? ”

Li Yuanjing frowned and said: "This matter is extremely strange, before Guo Liang's carriage, there were still two thousand palace guards in front of him, and the ground where more than eight thousand horses' hooves stepped suddenly exploded, which is really incomprehensible.

When the lowly official arrived at the scene, except for the steady and strong smell of gunpowder and fireworks, there was no more discovery, there was no tunnel underground, and there was no place for the murderer to hide, not to mention that at that time, there was an endless stream of messengers and scouts on the road, and the lowly was incompetent, and I really didn't understand how this happened. ”

Yelu Hongji turned around and asked Yelu Chongyuan: "What did Uncle Huang find?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan sneered: "At that time, this king was resting, and a strong force suddenly lifted this king into the air, and then he lost consciousness.

When the king woke up, he was already in the palace, and there seemed to be countless mosquitoes flying in his ears, and it was not until this morning that the sound weakened a little, but his head was painful!

Isn't Your Highness ready to find out the murderer for this king and break the body into pieces? ”

Yelu Hongji said with a smile: "Uncle Huang is deeply blessed, and it is a matter of course for him to have a hundred gods to protect him and turn evil into good fortune.

The nephew even heard that the imperial uncle had collected a cloud of Gobi thieves for his own use, and with the help of such a thief, it would be just around the corner to capture the murderer! ”

Yelu Chongyuan smiled bitterly: "There is no need for foreign thieves, your imperial uncle will have no one to use, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give your elderly uncle a way to live, and stop collecting taxes from the land of Yan Zhao that should be your imperial uncle and me." ”

Seeing that the two of them were getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, Yelu Yi first smiled bitterly and pointed to the sleeping emperor not far away, Yelu Hongji had no choice but to close his mouth angrily.

A huge curtain hung down, dividing the tent into two parts, the front and the back, a harbinger of the queen's arrival.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a mournful cry to be heard in the tabernacle.

A giant man walked in from outside the tent, he was so tall that he had to bow his head when he entered the tent, and when he saw that the tent was full of important ministers, he sat at the door of the tent without saying a word, waiting for the prince to ask.

"Tiger slave, what have you found?"

The giant man lifted off his hood to reveal a shiny head and shook his head: "Xiao Tong, Nahuer didn't know about the startling horse, and the thirty-six ironclad officers also didn't know anything about it.

In the eyes of the tiger slaves, even the twelve dead ironclad cavalrymen probably didn't know what happened when they were dying. ”

The bald man said it with great certainty, as if as long as he said it, it was the truth.

The strangest thing is that even Yelu Chongyuan, who doesn't deal with Yelu Hongji, doesn't seem to question this strong man's words.

"But there's something wrong with the warhorse?" An official asked weakly.

The tiger slave glanced at the official with those yellow eyes and said, "There are no external injuries on the war horse's body except for knife wounds. ”

"Poisoned?"

The giant man rubbed his huge hands, and a piece of blood that had been killed fell from his palm, and he heard the tiger slave say in a deep voice: "I have eaten twelve horse hearts raw, and there is nothing wrong with it so far!" ”

As the tiger slave's voice landed, the important ministers in the tent began to whisper, the tiger slave is the most outstanding one of the Khitan golden wrestlers, this person has been raised by the tigress since he was a child, and was later taken by the royal family, it is said that this person can understand the beast language, and can drive the wolves on the grassland for his own use.

If even he can't find any clues, these two things are likely to become two headless public cases.

Hu Nu thought for a moment and said: "There is still something wrong with the war horse, the twelve war horse hearts I ate today seem to be more delicious than the ones I have eaten in the past." ”

Yelu Hongji hurriedly asked, "Does the tiger slave know what kind of medicine it is, and he can actually control the war horse on time?" ”

The tiger slave pondered for a long time, but still shook his head regretfully and said: "The tiger slave doesn't know, there is no wax pill or anything like it in the horse's belly, there is no sign of drug erosion in the throat of the war horse, and there is no hidden poison needle on the saddle, even if it is the dung door of the war horse, I have carefully checked it, and there is nothing wrong!"

I want to catch the murderer, unless he continues to shoot next time! ”

"Do you think the murderer will use this method to harm people?" Yelu Hongji asked.

Hu Nu said with admiration on his face: "If Hu Nu can't find out, it can only mean that the murderer is smarter than Hu Nu, and Hu Nu is looking forward to his next shot, only in this way can he find something really useful."

He couldn't have used such a brilliant method only once! (To be continued.) )
