Chapter 1012: Gold
Maureen polished the scimitar and inserted it lightly into its sheath without making a sound.
The Overseer Mo Chu sat and watched, letting out a series of meaningless snorts, he had been pretending to be stupid since he was forced to return to Biyu City, and now he seemed to be a little demented, but when he spoke, the coherence was still clear.
"Silver Eagle, do you really think that Xiaoyuetang is the real murderer who killed the Old Khan King?"
In the minds of the people of Beiting, Mo Lin will always be the silver eagle of the old Khan's winged guard, and no one will call him by his real name.
Merlin turned his head to look at Mo Chu, "I'm sure of it." β
"Huh. Mo De even laughed like an old man's painful **, "If that's the case, this is the hatred of all the Beiting people, why do you have to fight alone?"
"Because the other Beiting people are very busy. "It's a little strange that Mode and himself are just general friends, but now they seem like they have been friends for many years.
"I'm busy electing the Khan King, you're right, but once the Khan throne is stabilized, there are no enemies in the North Court, and a few enemies will have to come out, not to mention the major matter related to the assassination of the Old Khan......?
"Everyone has their own things to do, my duty is to avenge the old Khan, and even if I die, Xiaoyuetang will know that their crimes are not unanswered. β
Mo Chu let out a long sigh, "Silver Eagle, can you believe it, Beiting actually declined overnight, the cattle and sheep are still herds, and the main cavalry force has not lost much, but it has suddenly become a weak country, and even ......"
"As long as the strength is still there, the revival will be very fast, please don't mention the Dragon King, it will be dangerous to you. β
Mo Chu laughed wryly, struggled to stand up, and the old appearance of Long Zhong seemed to fall at any time, "I lament myself, I have sixty or seventy wives and concubines, hundreds of children and grandchildren, thousands of relatives and friends, and the thought of them being helpless now makes me feel miserable." β
Mo Lin began to look at Mo Zhu seriously, his family was his only weakness, in order to send them to a safe place, he took a lot of thought, "Why don't you gamble with your life once, tell me the truth, I either agree, or hand you over to the Dragon King to deal with, how about it?"
Moide's mouth opened wide in surprise, revealing his mutilated teeth, "W-Where do you start? I'm just ......"
Morin didn't like to beat around the bush, not because he couldn't understand what the other party meant, but because compared to the old Khan, the performances of these people were ridiculously naΓ―ve.
The wingguard's serious expression really made Mo Chu change his mind, "It's understandable to think about your family, right? Silver Eagle, don't you feel excited to be with the Golden House every day?"
"You got it?"
"Just look at the appearance of the people in the Central Plains, every time Pang Jing comes to the mansion, he has to walk around, look around, and especially care about whether the wall is damaged. β
"What can that be? Outside the mansion are the guards sent by the Dragon King, and beyond them are the Central Plains and the Jinpeng Killer, this gold can't even be transported by the Dragon King, let alone others. β
The winged guard obviously showed signs of heartbeat, and Mo Chu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was more than ten years younger in an instant, "It's not the same, the Dragon King, Jinpeng Castle, and the Central Plains people watch out for each other, it's just the Beiting people who live in the mansion who don't take it seriously, this is the pain of decline, but also the benefit, what the Dragon King can't do, we may be able to do it." β
"You're seventy or eighty years old, aren't you?" asked Maureen.
"Hehe, are you worried that I won't have a life to spend this gold? I said, this is for the sake of the children and grandchildren's family, alas, people are old, and the country is gone, so this little thought is left. β
"Tell me about your plans. β
A sly gaze appeared in Mo Zhu's wrinkled eye sockets, "Silver Eagle, aren't you trying to trick me, just turn around and tell the Dragon King, right?" I know, you have always felt that the Dragon King has been kind to you, and you are a person who knows how to repay your kindness. β
"There must also be a sequence of gratitude and retribution, for me, the grace of the old Khan King will always be in front of the Dragon King, I want to destroy not only the Lotus Girl, but the entire Xiaoyue Hall, which requires a lot of financial support, no one in the North Court will pay this money, let alone the Dragon King. β
"So, you agree?"
"I agree if the plan works, if it's just your whims......"
"It's not cranky. Moide hurriedly said, he felt that he had convinced the wingguards, but he was still not very safe, "You swear in the name of the old Khan first. β
Morin's eyes were cold.
Mo Chu was shocked in his heart, and changed his words: "Then swear in the name of your family." β
"I swear that I will never leak half a word of ink out of tonight's words, otherwise, the whole family will not die well. β
"Enough, enough. Moide was satisfied, he had seen the Silver Eagle forced to throw himself into the battle against Prince Dotun in order to protect his family, and such an oath was enough to believe, "I'll start with the hardest part of the plan, tonight's joust - you have to lose, but you can't die." β
At this moment, there are less than two hours before the competition.
Pang Jing came earlier tonight, personally arranged the venue for the competition, looked at all the items one by one, and asked the person in charge to ensure that there would be no problems.
"Tonight's contest has to go smoothly. This phrase became his mantra and he said it to almost everyone at least once.
Pang Jing also specially issued a strict order that no one was allowed to mix in except for the original 87 spectators.
In fact, not many people pay attention to tonight's competition, and the strange stories such as the Iron Mountain Turmoil, the woman who escaped death, and the Dragon King's lonely camp are fermenting in Biyu City, and everyone is inquiring about more details, and enthusiastically adding branches and leaves to the story, so the competition between Xiaoyuetang and the people of Beiting has been ignored.
The old Khan Wang Yiwei is not well-known in the Western Regions, and Xiaoyue Hall is even less known, even if there is occasional street talk, the focus of the debate is whose interests the lotus girl and Mo Lin represent.
Mo Lin, a native of Beiting, had prepared a long time ago, sitting on a chair on the east side of the courtyard, watching the Central Plains people busy around.
Seeing that the people from Beiting were still alive, Pang Jing was already very happy, "The assassination is finally over, it's really a coincidence, three in a row...... It's over, it's over, except for the gods in the sky, I see who can ruin tonight's competition. β
Pang Jing's words were not for the people of Beiting, Luo Qikang, who was beside him and never left him, nodded in agreement, but did not speak, his eyes swept around, still very vigilant.
The Dragon King arrived relatively early, Pang Jing personally greeted him at the gate, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Dragon King is more interested in martial arts, and I have finally found a fellow believer." β
As usual, Gu Shenwei brought more than a hundred guards to guard the perimeter. He walked to the west of the venue, where an empty chair was placed, which was reserved for the lotus girl, and where Chu Nanping was assassinated three days ago.
At that time, Chu Nanping was standing, and less than ten steps behind him was the audience, where two assassins were hiding, and the third person Chu Nanping felt might be next to the assassin, but he was ignored by Gu Shenwei.
The horse dealer in charge of the next ** was interrogated again, this time he was sentenced, the fat man threw away all his dignity, and swore that no one else would help.
The Xiaoyue Hall man who wanted to avenge the proud building did not enter the governor's mansion at all, so it couldn't be him.
Gu Shenwei stood still, trying to recreate the scene of that night, recalling the faces of the surrounding audience and looking for abnormal clues.
It didn't work, he remembered a lot of faces, and a few of them could even be named, but there were no flaws, even with the most relaxed gaze, they didn't look like hidden masters.
Just a false move can make Chu Nanping feel nervous, which is not something that people like Jia Lian can do.
There are also a few faces that are too unfamiliar, and Gu Shenwei can't remember them anyway.
When the observation was about to end, Gu Shenwei glanced up, and happened to see two glances on the wall.
The old man smiled and waved his hand to the Dragon King, signaling that everything was normal.
This is the area where Old Man Mu is accustomed to guarding, a little farther away from his left hand is Shangguan Fei, a little farther away is the slaughtering dog, and his right hand is the guards of the Central Plains.
There was a small gap in the place where the two groups of guards met, and the Assassin Jia Lian was trying to escape from the blank space, but was intercepted by Luo Qikang.
What Gu Shenwei noticed was that the wall where Old Man Mu was located was not too far from Chu Nanping.
He didn't say anything, turned to Morin on the other side, and asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about it?"
The licensed audience was entering the house one after another, and the courtyard began to be noisy, and Pang Jing's loud voice could be heard everywhere.
"Hmm. Morin's answer was a little perfunctory, he was in a state of intense preparation, which was normal.
It was already dark, and Pang Jing was a little anxious again, "Why hasn't Xiaoyue Hall arrived yet?"
Immediately someone stepped forward and replied, "We have already set off, and we should arrive at the city gate at this time." β
The guards who went to inquire about the news came one after another, and almost every walk in Xiaoyuetang was reported by someone who hurried back.
"Woman. Pang Jing shook his head helplessly, and complained to the Dragon King in a low voice, "Women are trouble, didn't the Dragon King say? And the woman named Luo Ningcha is unreasonable, goodbye to King Xiao, I have to persuade him." β
Pang Jing delicately isolated Luo Ningcha from himself, Gu Shenwei just nodded, still thinking about Old Man Mu in his heart: he was not far from the place where Chu Nanping was standing, and it was not impossible to jump in, but his skills were greatly reduced, and his light skills were much weaker, unless......
It was only a short time before the second watch, and Xiaoyue Hall finally arrived, and the number of people was unexpected.
Xiaoyuetang seemed to be pouring out, at least forty men**, and three times as many women**, all equipped with narrow knives, wearing almost identical white robes and white skirts, neatly arranged, and the fish flowed in, forming a circle around the arena, and the audience had to stand up to see the situation inside.
Pang Jing was stunned, the spies he sent were loyal to their duties and reported Xiaoyuetang's whereabouts along the way, but they forgot to mention the number of people.
He couldn't object, the person had already stood in a good position, and the royal master and lotus girl were not easy to deal with at first glance.
The lotus girl was the only person in Xiaoyue Hall who was equipped with a sword, and she didn't care about the curious scrutiny around her, and walked straight into the venue, facing Mo Lin, a person from the north court, and said, "Please." β
