Chapter 226 Serial Assassinations
There is no way, as long as the political proposition of the Tiger people changes, the remaining ultra-radical people will disperse, and they themselves will fall into the reputation of "political zhì slippery". So now, the Tiger can only vomit blood and persist to the end.
Therefore, after removing the Tiger as an external enemy, the new king can only choose between the two sons of Wadison. And King Waddison also had "leisure and leisure", he maintained neutrality, let Dezhen and Delen "play freely", became the new king with their own ability, and also selected a new king with good political skills for the kingdom of Beamon.
......
"Which one do you prefer?" said the queen, as she walked up to King Wardison, holding two ribbons of flowers that adorned her gown.
"Whatever!hehe!" said King Wadison, cheerfully, "just a suit, I...... Do you still need this?" said with a twelve-point pride in his tone.
"Giggle——!" The queen of the Rhine tribe covered her mouth and laughed, "I know you can!" But that human princess is coming tomorrow, even if you are not a national body, you can't lose the face of our handsome Rhine guy, right? "Although it is the original match, being able to say such a thing, the boldness of the Rhine woman is indeed breathtaking!
"Hahaha——!" King Wadison straightened up from the collapse amid laughter. To the queen he loved, he could only shake his head helplessly, "Let you toss again!"
Unexpectedly, the queen stroked King Wadison's chest and sighed, "Hey——! I will wear it a few times for the last time." ”
"Hahaha! In the future, our children will wear it, and it will not be the same. And I'm going to put on armor in the future. Hahaha——!"
At this moment, King Wadison's heroism filled the entire palace at once.
......
Just as King Wadison was trying on his dress, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. After waiting for a while, the door was opened, and the chief of the palace guard trotted to King Wardison, and whispered, "Urgent report! Count Bagula has been assassinated, and his life and death are unknown." ”
Stunned for a moment, King Warddison immediately recovered. He tore off his dress, took the clothes that he put beside him, and said to the chief of the palace guards, "Go!
"Who did this?" King Wadison pondered on his way to the Tiger Mansion. Exactly on the eve of the Damur Congress, how can it also be reminiscent of a political conspiracy.
If Bagula withdraws from the race due to injury, the beneficiaries will surely be his two sons. But it was precisely this that puzzled King Wadison.
According to the current shape, Wuzi Deleng has a slight lead, so he will definitely not make a risky move. And according to common sense, the political ideas of conservatives and radicals are relatively close. No, Bagula, didn't all those votes go to the second son Dezhen?
But on the other hand, the relationship between the second son Dezhen and Bagula is quite bad, and even has a taste of incompatibility. Of course, the Ryin and the Tiger have few good relations.
And now many of the supporters gathered around Bagura are also die-hard loyalists of the vassal Teg. Their political ideas may not be radical, but they are loyal to Bagula, the son of the Tiger people. Therefore, if Bagula withdraws, those people may vote according to their own likes and dislikes, and it is very likely that they will vote for the fifth son, Deleng. In this way, Dezhen is not very likely.
Therefore, King Wadison was a little puzzled: Is this a bitter ploy of Bagula? A "sad card" to win sympathy votes? You must know that although the supporters of the second son Dezhen and the fifth son Deleng have surpassed Bagula, the number of votes exceeded that much because the votes were scattered. If it can really attract a lot of sympathy votes, this backward situation is not irreversible.
In his confusion, King Warddison came to the Tiger's mansion. Upon learning of the king's arrival, the Teg patriarch, Duke Salk, personally went out to greet him.
Seeing that his lifelong political rival was quite haggard, King Wadison stopped Salk from saluting, and he shook Duke Salk's hands and said with concern: "Old friend!
The Duke of Salk did not answer directly, he made a "please" gesture and invited King Wardison in first. After that, completely to the surprise of King Wadison, the Duke of Salk did not hide it, he led King Wadison to visit the comatose Bagula, and also asked the royal doctor who came with him to consult with him.
......
"Your Majesty, Lord Duke, Lord Earl, has been injured in the form of a stable injury, but he has injured his lung lobe, and he will be bedridden for about a month. The Witch Doctor of the Tiger Clan has handled it properly. There shouldn't be any after-effects......"
With a wave of his hand, King Wadison told the royal physician to retreat, leaving only the Duke of Salk in the room.
Before King Wardison could ask, Duke Salk began to introduce the assassination: "Today Bagula made an appointment to meet Sharon, and made an appointment at one of his outer chambers in Xicheng District. Bagula walked in civilian clothes, and he didn't have many retinues with him. When passing through the stone fence market, he was assassinated by crossbow arrows. It was shot from three crossbows, a chain of thirty arrows, and it was still an armor-piercing arrow. Thankfully, two of his henchmen fended off with their bodies, and Bagura also had a magic ring that triggered the magic shield and a magic inner armor that blocked most of the armor-piercing arrows. What a fluke...... Hey!"
King Wadison understood. Bagula made an appointment with the Peak Patriarch Sharon to negotiate secretly, so he made an appointment to his outer room home, and traveled in civilian clothes for the sake of secrecy, but he was assassinated. And those assassins used chain crossbows and armor-piercing arrows because Beamon was good at physical defense, but they didn't expect that Bagura had two magical defense items on his body, and the effect of the assassination was not good, so he saved his life.
"At least three Assassins in broad daylight?and chain crossbows and armor-piercing arrows?" King Vodison then asked the point. Because chain crossbows and armor-piercing arrows can only be made by humans, they are quite rare here in the Kingdom of Bimon.
"Yes!" the Duke of Salk nodded, "The Assassins were shooting from the roof of a rented house behind a teahouse in the Stone Fence Market. The three discarded crossbows were found on the roof. There must have been more than a few people, and there must have been one person observing the teahouse, and when he saw Bagura, he signaled to the Assassins. ”
"Won't there be an internal response?" asked King Wadison again.
"Probably not. Duke Salk shook his head, "Bagula is improvizing. And we also interrogated the outer room, the patriarch of Sharon, and the people around Bagula, and there is definitely no possibility of leaking secrets. The people in the teahouse and the landlord of the house also interrogated, saying that there had been five people in the house, and they had been renting it for more than half a month. Afterwards, they all disappeared. It is said that those people have the characteristics of the Wolf tribe. However, it should be makeup, because after the investigation around the stone fence market, no suspicious Wolff Beamon was found. Later, you can bring these people back and interrogate them in detail. ”
"Hmm!" King Wadison nodded, contemplating the possible forces that would carry out this assassination.
The Duke of Salk continued: "Those Assassins are well-organized, and they can get chain crossbows and armor-piercing arrows, so they won't be ordinary Assassins. ”
"Old friend!" King Vodison frowned at this, "not me. ”
"Your life is bright. I believe you. Although the Duke of Salk's face was still ugly, he still answered in the affirmative. The two have been fighting in politics for almost their whole lives, and although there are many contradictions, they still believe in each other's moral character.
"It's not Dezhen and Deleng, these two kids. If they make such a move, I will get some kind of news. King Wadison said again.
Since King Waddison remained neutral, many of his supporters joined the camp of his two sons. But after all, these people are loyal to King Wardison, and if Dezhen or Deleng makes an assassination move, they will definitely inform King Warddison. It's impossible not to have a little clue.
But in response to this assurance from King Wardison, the Duke of Salk remained silent. A father is a father, and a son is a son. The Duke of Salk could trust King Waddison, but that didn't mean he had no doubts about Dezhen and Deleng.
King Waddison also understood the Duke of Salk's thoughts. He then promised: "When I go back, I will check carefully." If anyone did such a thing, it would certainly not be tolerated by the entire kingdom of Bimon, and there would be no possibility of becoming a new king. If you really ...... I'm sure I'll give you an explanation. ”
"Thank you!" said the Duke of Salk with a sincere bow to King Warddison.
......
But at that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in!"
I saw the chief of the palace guard push the door and come in. He looked at the Duke of Salk, and he was a little speechless.
"If it is a state affair, there is nothing to hide from His Excellency the Duke. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said the chief of the palace guard, bowing, and whispering, "In a dwelling in the south of the city, the Puma priest Lord Tom has been assassinated. It is believed that he died in the early morning, and since the Puma people have always been unsociable, they have not been found until now. ”
"What?" exclaimed King Warddison and Duke Salk in unison.
"And ......," the palace guard swallowed, and looked at King Wadison again.
"And, hehe!" said King Wadison, his eyes full of rage, "Say!"
"I just received a summons: the Marquis of Zoren, the patriarch of the House clan, was assassinated on the road. Lord Roland Garr, the priest of the Swan Clan, was also assassinated on the way, and although he narrowly escaped, his followers were almost completely killed. ”
