Chapter 629: Assassination
Like the old Khan King, the silver eagle also smelled a strong smell of conspiracy, and he stood seven steps behind the side, right where the candlelight and shadows intertwined, monitoring the every move of everyone in the tent, even the ten princes.
When it was said that the king of the chase was indiscriminately full of old fists to others through the strength of wine, attracting many eyes, the silver eagle was a little nervous, but nothing happened, when Shangguan Fei staggered over to toast, the silver eagle was a little nervous, but his eyes were fixed on the dragon king.
The young man had a desperate madness, the old Khan claimed that the heroes were all madmen, confident that he could persuade the dragon king to bow his head and be allegiant, the silver eagle did not say a word, but he was very suspicious in his heart, in his opinion, the dragon king belonged to the type that was difficult to grasp and often unexpected, and the safest way to deal with it was to kill him.
Shangguan Fei was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and the young warriors at the same table came to carry people, and the silver eagle's gaze did not leave the dragon king.
"Dragon King, go!" the silver eagle suddenly woke up and drew his sword and rushed forward when the warrior shouted these words.
There were only ten men in the whole tent armed with knives, and the other nine stood at the door, and only the silver eagle was closest to the old Khan, which was still not close enough.
A total of seven warriors, like madmen, pounced on the old Khan King, chaotic but not chaotic, apparently after many drills before.
The silver eagle was sure to kill two of them in an instant, but if one warrior slipped through the net, the pocket dagger in his hand could kill the old Khan.
Gu Shenwei was already very drunk, but his mind was surprisingly clear, and his hands and feet were still obeying the call, and as soon as the seven warriors moved, he overturned the table.
The old Khan described the intrigue of the dragon court as a bull in heat, and when the conspiracy finally came to the fore, the bull was a little sluggish in reacting.
The whole thing happened too quickly, only Gu Shenwei and the silver eagle reacted on the spot, the smiles of the guests were still on their faces, the wine bowl in one hand was raised high, and the other hand was dishonestly placed on the chest of the sommelier slave, but suddenly, the sound was all gone.
In this delicate moment, everyone's mind should quickly turn a few corners and remain silent? rush forward to show loyalty, pounce on the enemy to seize the opportunity, or simply faint and pretend to be dead?
The matter ended quickly, saving everyone present, the old Khan King did not die, not even a little injured, and the choice became simple all of a sudden.
The overturned wine case blocked the four warriors, Gu Shenwei threw two punches in a row, knocking down the fifth and sixth warriors, and the last warrior was dragged down by Shangguan Fei who was lying on the ground, he hugged the opponent's feet and didn't let go.
The duty of the silver eagle is not to kill, he hugged the old Khan king, took a few steps back, leaned back against the tent, and pointed the knife in his right hand vigilantly in front of him, he didn't trust anyone here.
"Escort!"
I don't know who was the first to shout these two words, and then the tent was filled with shouts one after another, and everyone rushed to the old Khan, and at the same time pushed the others down, the slaves screamed, the wine was scattered all over the ground, and the guards with knives at the door were blocked by the crowd and could only run over their heads.
Then the crowd stopped suddenly, as if they had stepped on a deadly dividing line, and on the other side of the line were the Dragon King and several Assassins he had struck down one after another, and a little further in were the Old Khan and the Silver Eagle.
"Silver eagle, don't mess around. It was the Holy King who spoke, his hands outstretched, as if to rescue a drowning man.
The silver eagle was shocked, he was so nervous that he held the old Khan King in his arms like a baby, but he held the knife in his right hand, which looked like a hijacking to outsiders.
The silver eagle hurriedly let go of his left hand, but the knife in his right hand was not put down, and it was a pack of wolves that swarmed him, and he was worried that the old Khan King would be swallowed by the wolves.
The other nine guards with knives finally rushed to the front line, and with their knives in their hands, they killed six assassins in a row who were struggling to get up, only Shangguan Fei firmly held his feet, because he couldn't get up, and escaped the first round of slaughter.
The guards raised their swords again, this time killing both men on the ground, three of whom pointed their knives at the dragon king.
This was the environment that Gu Shenwei liked the most: the place was cramped, there were many enemies, and he didn't even have a weapon in his hand.
But he still punched, a little faster than the guards with knives.
The guards who can stay in the tent are by no means ordinary masters, but the narrow space also restricts their play, three steps away are the princes and nobles, and the old Khan King is not far away, their knives can only stab up and down, and they dare not sweep and slash.
Gu Shenwei seized the opportunity to defeat the three guards and saved himself, as well as Shangguan Fei and the warrior.
The other guards all turned to the Dragon King, and the Old Khan King, who had been attacked, finally spoke, "Stop. ”
The guards lowered their swords and lined up in front of the old Khan King, and judging from their standing posture, they were still focused on guarding against the Dragon King.
The atmosphere was still solid, and everyone was anxiously considering whether they were guilty or not, and the Holy King suddenly said loudly: "The Dragon King is plotting against him, and the Dragon King is plotting ......."
"Shut up, idiot. ”
The old Khan had regained his composure, pushed away the guards who were in the way, and glanced at the corpse on the ground, "Arrest him and interrogate him, it's not this coward, it's the one in his arms." Spread out, I'm not dead yet, you don't have to make that look. ”
The crowd dispersed, but the anxiety in the heart was not alleviated, the plot to assassinate the old Khan king finally happened, and I don't know how many people's blood will be used to end this matter.
Gu Shenwei was the first to feel the smell of blood for the slave girls beside her, six warriors were killed by her side, blood splashed all over her face, Gu Shenwei helped her up, and got a beam of grateful eyes.
The old Khan looked at the many nervous faces, and suddenly laughed, "Look at your appearance, as if you have never seen a dead person, where is the spirit of a steppe man?
Few people in the tent had experienced the youth of the old Khan King, and he said that the King of Chai picked up a bowl of wine casually, "I heard that the old Khan King danced on the corpse while drinking. ”
"Well, now I can only drink a little wine, and it is difficult to walk on my feet, let alone dance. ”
It was said that the king took the lead, and the nobles danced the toast dance and war dance of the North Court, and the cheerful atmosphere instantly reappeared, even more enthusiastic than before, everyone understood that this was the surname of the old Khan King for the assassination, and the blood of many people could remain in their bodies and flow as usual.
Even though the voice was noisy, every word of the old Khan King still clearly reached everyone's ears, "The Dragon King saved my life, he is the number one hero today." ”
The old Khan did not mention the silver eagle and the other guards, they carried out their duties without special explanation.
"The warrior of the dragon king collapsed on the ground and did not forget to save the driver, and he was the second most meritorious hero. ”
Shangguan Fei's face was red, but he was triumphant, he just stood up, his legs were still weak, and he also followed the example of the nobles, raising his feet awkwardly and waving his hands.
"These stupid dolls actually want to frame the dragon king, and they are shouting, and they don't want to think about who can believe it. ”
The Holy King believed it, or he wished to draw suspicion to the Dragon King, so he blushed when he heard this, and this night, he drank more than usual.
The guards took the only captive, and the servants quickly carried away the corpses and the overturned wine case, leaving the blood in place.
"The blood is exhilarating. ”
The old Khan raised his arm again and motioned for the dragon king to support him.
For him, the dinner party was over.
"Tomorrow's training, you can handle it yourself. ”
The crowd stopped the noise and lined up on both sides to make way for the old Khan.
Before they had taken a few steps from the tent, the two princes caught up and said in unison, "Let's interrogate the captives." ”
"These warriors are all from Beiting, and if they dare to kill the old Khan King, there must be strong support behind them. The king looked calm.
"Before dawn, I will definitely be able to ask the mastermind behind the scenes. The king added.
Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that these two princes would join forces to ask for a trial, and soon understood that they were using their mutual antagonism to gain the trust of the old Khan King, so as not to affect him from the assassination incident.
Gu Shenwei had a feeling that the old Khan King already knew who the main messenger was, and he also knew that King Kua and King Yue would join forces to ask for a trial, but he still thought about it for a while before he said indifferently: "You two go to the trial, don't disturb me too early, I may sleep a little longer." ”
"Yes. The two kings bowed and withdrew.
Looking at the back in the dark, the old Khan King stabbed the Dragon King's waist, like a naughty naughty boy telling secrets, "These two people, who do you say will win in the end?"
"Trying the case?" I want to ......" Gu Shenwei pretended not to understand.
The old Khan's voice was unhappy, "You are wasting my trust, and you are not from Beiting, are you still afraid of offending a certain prince?"
Gu Shenwei helped the old Khan King to walk slowly, and the silver eagle followed closely five steps away this time, and could clearly hear the conversation between the two.
"The decision is in the hands of the old Khan, whoever you point to wins. ”
"Well, if you think so, it's no different from the most ordinary herdsmen on the steppe. Yes, I have supreme power in my hands, and I can even set the path for some people, but I am not omnipotent. ”
The old Khan king paused for a while, complained a few times about his back pain, and continued: "There are three major descendants in Beiting, and the most powerful is Naihang, my biological mother, the mother of the big and small clans, and the mothers of the four princes, are all from the Naihang clan, and the western part of the grassland is almost ready to read, but I can't find a child or grandson who can compete with it. I used to have high hopes for King Kuayu, but he was too strict, I wanted people's hearts, but he threw them all over the ground. ”
The long conversation finally reached the core stage, and Gu Shenwei found that the chains around his neck were getting tighter and tighter, and he had neither any more options nor pain.
Behind the two of them, the silver eagle admired the master so much, the old Khan King claimed to be a madman, he proved this with facts, what normal person would be so bold, even use an assassination to win over his subordinates? The Dragon King saved the old Khan King's life in public, which would make him completely lose the trust of the Central Plains, and be more deeply involved in the royal dispute, except to hold the aging arm tightly, he had no way out at all.
Gu Shenwei was also aware of this, and decided not to hide the information he knew, "So the old Khan king moved his hope to Prince Dotun?"
"Hehe, this is like the Dragon King, it must be a clue revealed by Xiao Yan. ”
"She didn't say anything, I guessed it myself. ”
"Yes, but if she had kept her mouth shut, you wouldn't have guessed at all. ”
"Yes. Gu Shenwei couldn't refute it.
"But you're not bold enough. ”
"Not Dotun...... Not just Dotun?"
"Three. The old Khan stretched out his left hand and shook three fingers, this is the pillar he established for the North Court, "Mothers are all slave girls, it's time to harvest the power of the descendants, the steppe needs a son born to a humble woman." ”
