Chapter 1226: The King of Thieves
Decades of travel have taught Takeda Saito far more than most Ionians, and while many were still thinking about how to expel the Noxian invaders, Takeda Saito began to prepare for the plundering of the fruits of victory.
In order to divert the attention of the competitors, Takeda Saito spent a lot of effort - among the other forces, the most fearful of him was the Shadow Stream Sect led by the robbery, this organization has strength and ruthlessness, so Takeda Saito made two preparations, on the one hand, bribing Saleng Prison to create a "fire" and secretly release Kada Ash; On the one hand, it also provoked unwitting civilians to encroach on the reservation in Vastaya, causing conflicts.
You must know that for Zai, whether it is Vastaya or Ember, it is a hurdle that he can't get over in his heart, and Takeda Saito's two-pronged approach directly attracted Zai's attention completely.
In the face of the central government of Presidium represented by Irelia and Karma, Takeda Saito on the one hand used Li Dai Tao's stiff Kole to attract attention and gain time, and on the other hand, he tried his best to win over the Ionian monks and elders and do what they liked.
To this day, Irelia still thinks that the crux of the Navoli Brotherhood is that "radicals are not satisfied with their own policies", which she could never have imagined in any way that in fact a huge shadow has hung over the whole of Ionia!
"Ladies and gentlemen." Saito Takeda, who showed one of his hole cards, stretched out his hand and tapped the wooden table with the knuckle of his middle finger, "Now is the time for you to make a choice, whether to let that yellow-haired girl from Shangzan run wild, or let Ionia return to her original path...... The choice is yours. ”
When Master Yi arrives in Preshidian with Wukong, he sees countless people who have "spontaneously" taken to the streets, shouting various slogans to express their dissatisfaction with Irelia.
Among them, the most striking are the many weeping widows, who use various means to show their husbands' contributions to the defense of Ionia, and these people are all ...... Died at the hands of Irelia.
They were all members of the Navoli Brotherhood, the true Ionian left, people that Takeda Saito could not win over - but after their failed assassination of Irelia, they became Takeda Saito's best weapon against his opponents.
Looking at the angry crowd and listening to the widow's cry, Wukong already wanted to pick up his stick and "talk" with Irelia, but at this moment, Master Yi stopped him.
"Something isn't right." Under the seven-eyepiece, Master Yi's face sank like water this time, "Someone is targeting Irelia!" ”
Although he lacked political sensitivity and means, after consciously staying out of the way, Master Yi still sensed that something was wrong.
Incitement has always been the best means of subversion.
Especially for a rookie like Irelia, who was determined enough to face the Noxian invaders and the assassins who assassinated her, she couldn't completely harden her heart in front of the widows who shouted slogans.
At this time, Karma went to the north to mediate the conflict between the Shadow Stream Sect and Vastaya, and Irelia had no chance to find someone to help!
In desperation, Irelia can only temporarily choose to control the situation and prevent things from getting worse.
And then...... That night, rumors spread about the blade dancer's "lack of heart" in Presidium.
Things began to slide rapidly in unpredictable directions.
At this time, some of the local elders of Presidium began to intervene to persuade Irelia, hoping that she would "calm the situation for a while" and "let the elders come forward to maintain order".
In the face of the seemingly well-intentioned persuasion of these elders and monks, Irelia instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but for a moment she didn't understand the problem, and then, just when she hesitated, Master Yi came with Wukong.
……………………
"Master Yi, it's great that you can come here now." Seeing Master Yi, Irelia finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The situation in Presidium now...... It's really not optimistic! ”
This can't blame Irelia for being incompetent, in the original battle of Navoli, her former comrades-in-arms were not around, in order to revive Ionia, Irelia sent almost all of her cronies to various provinces, coordinating resources and deploying manpower, in the face of Takeda Saito's sudden attack, she was really unavailable for a while.
Although the appearance of Master Yi may not have an immediate effect on Irelia, it can at least make her a little easier and have some reliance.
"What the hell is going on?" Facing Irelia, Master Yi didn't have the slightest politeness, "What happened to Presidian...... And the dead, what the hell is going on? ”
Master Yi's question made Irelia a little embarrassed, she hesitated for a moment, and finally could only sigh, and then briefly told Master Yi about her frequent assassinations.
"I don't want those warriors to fall under my own blades, either." Irelia's tone was full of helplessness, "But what do they think...... It was too much for Ionia to emerge from the quagmire of war, and they could not afford to repeat the mistakes of the past, and their overly radical demands could only destroy this rare peace. ”
Hearing Irelia say this, Master Yi suddenly felt a little stunned.
At this moment, Master Yi remembered Levy before - maybe he was actually telling himself what at that time?
Thinking of this, Master Yi told Irelia about Levy's original actions.
After listening to this, Irelia instantly felt her scalp tingle and creepy!
Levi, Grudge, Disobedience, Pileng Prison, Assassination...... This trajectory seemed so familiar to Irelia!
Although Irelia had been facing all kinds of assassinations before, all the assassins at that time could be regarded as "innocent", and the assassination had their own logical reasons, so Irelia subconsciously regarded it as a spontaneous act, and it was not until today that a large number of widows were dispatched that she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But when Master Yi talked about Levi, who faked his death and left the prison, Irelia realized that those assassinations were probably not "spontaneous actions" at all, but organized and premeditated subversion!
At this moment, the blade dancer was full of chills.
