Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 226: Attempted Assassination

When Gilgamesh entered the city of Barron, Faust was also ordered to rush to the New Asturian capital of the Assyrian Empire. He was the chief high priest of the empire, and he should preside over such an important ceremony as the Queen. To his surprise, Faust also brought another queen, Samir.

Sinach was unhappy. Although he didn't consult with Samir in his decision to marry Princess Xiao Qian, he also hoped to marry first, and then said that it would make a fait accompli and modify the imperial decree. He was not good enough to blame Faust in public, but asked Semir: "The battle in the Duke Plains is not good. Why did you come here?"

Samir replied, "I'm here to ask your Majesty, do you want to abolish me as another queen, or do you want to marry Princess Xiao Qian as the princess? If you are marrying a princess, I think I should be there, Xian This is also the requirement of the Supreme Master. If you want to abolish the queen, I will also listen to you in person to understand what is wrong with me. "

Sinach looked a little embarrassed, and wanted to attack but held back, beckoning: "White, let me show you my blueprint for the empire."

The great white magician of the court bowed and walked to the center of the inner hall. A wave of staff showed a light and shadow to the crowd. The light and shadow appeared as a combat sand table. After the expansion, it was a three-dimensional topographic map of the Tianshu continent. Different geographical indications With different colors.

The golden area is the territory of the original Assyrian empire. The city of Neve is a golden highlight. The yellow area has two pieces. One is the six city-states of the newly occupied Baron Kingdom. The location of the city of Rees also has a golden dot. . The other piece borders the Assyrian Empire through the Assyrian Plateau, occupying half of the northern part of the Duke Plain with fertile soil, and the location of Salem is also shown by a golden dot.

Obviously, the yellow area in the Duke Plain is the land that the Assyrian Empire planned to occupy. In the mind of Emperor Sinach, Salem already belongs to the Assyrian Empire.

What is even more intriguing is that there is a pink area in this map, which not only includes the current territory of the Kingdom of Barron, but also extends westward, including the land of the former Kingdom of Barron occupied by the Hati Kingdom on the west bank of the Youdi River, The former city of Marduk and the entire southern part of the Duke Plain.

This is Sinach's vision for the Assyrian Empire, not only to control the entire kingdom of Barron, but also to cross the sphere of influence across the west bank of the Youdi River and occupy the entire Duke Plain. By this time, this will be an unprecedented empire, and the rivers under the river and Rees, including the Assyrian plateau where they originated, will be within the empire.

In this inner hall are all the Imperial Ministers. In addition to Samir, Faust, and White, there are also the Prime Minister of the Empire, Alpha, and the leaders of the two fronts. Sinach pointed to the blueprint and said to Samir: "Did you see the three golden dots on it? It is the three capitals of the empire, and it goes without saying that we are now in the city It is to accompany the city of Durres, where Queen Qian will live in the palace, symbolizing the rule of the Assyrian Empire over the kingdom of Barron. "

Semir frowned slightly and asked, "What about another capital city, who do you prepare for?"

Sinach laughed: "For my queen, you! That is another capital that I will build. It will have the most beautiful palaces and shrines in the city. The palace on the Duke Plain belongs to you."

No surprise in Semir's expression, he said lightly, "Your Majesty, you are very thoughtful."

Sinach also pointed to the location of Salem City: "Although the battle of the Giant Army failed, the war in the Kingdom of Barron has subsided, and I will soon transfer the elite army into the Duke Plains to smash the resistance of Salem City. As long as the city of Salem is captured, the northern part of the Duke Plain is the *** realm of the Assyrian Empire. In addition to the existing city of Enril and the city of Salem, the east and west areas are enough to develop three new city-states .At that time, I will build a new capital and palace for you, my queen of Semir. "

Ministers rose up to pay tribute: "The great king, the invincible Assyrian Emperor, the entire continent will be subject to your majesty."

Faust frowned secretly. The blueprint in front of him clearly outlined Sinach's ambition. His strategic plan was obviously to go in three steps. The first step was to capture the area east of the River Ries in the Kingdom of Barron and the northern part of the Duke Plain. At present, this step has been generally achieved. The only "small mistake" is that it did not successfully break through Salem.

The second step of the plan is also close to success, that is, to control the entire kingdom of Barron through Princess Xiao Qian, marry her as queen, and then make her the Queen of Baron. Sinach showed such a strategic blueprint in public. It was both a soothing and a warning to Semir. She would build a new capital for her and symbolize the rule of the Duke Plains. It also reminded Semir not to disturb To marry Princess Xiaoqian was the strategy of the empire.

Samir didn't say anything. After excusement, he was tired after a long journey, and withdrew from the occasion of the celebration of the ministers. The ministers in turn offered blessings and beautiful words to Emperor Sinach.

Queen Samil resigned, and Sinacher was very upset. The queen has been very indifferent to him in recent years, almost never revealing a smile, and excuses him to practice advanced physical skills, not even living with him. But Sinacher has always been able to tolerate. The reason is very simple. Compared with a woman, a near-invincible nine-level samurai on the battlefield is much more important, not to mention that this warrior is still her Majesty the Empress, and it is to the Emperor The team's morale was greatly encouraged.

Watching Samir leave, Sinach whispered to Faust: "The sage master, the queen seems to be in a bad mood, why should you let her come?"

Faust laughed: "Your Majesty, if she does not come now, she will be even more dissatisfied from time to time. You might as well be calm. This is the true style of the emperor! Maybe you don't know much about women. Queen Semir wants It's not a new capital and a palace built specifically for her. "

Sinach looked at Faust: "Oh? Is it true that the sage master, who has been pursuing alone, knows women better than me?"

Faust bowed his head and said, "Maybe I don't know."

...

Princess Qian's convoy traveled on the road for more than ten days, and spent the night in the last town on the west bank of the River Ries. The next day, she would cross the river into the city of Ries occupied by the Assyrian Empire. The big river in front was the Assyrian Empire and Pakistan. Kingdom of New England. Sinach sent heavy soldiers to wait at the East Coast Ferry. The name of the welcoming princess was actually showing off the force.

On that night, in a mountain jungle not far from the river crossing, the great magician Jie Kai led a group of priests and warriors quietly camping. They didn't make a fire, their weapons flashed a faint cold light in the night, and they were discussing the plan to stab Princess Xiaoqian overnight. These people must start before crossing the river, and they won't have a chance when Princess Xiao Qian crosses the river.

In the moonlight, there was a sand table model in the middle of the clearing. This was the place where they arranged an ambush. It was a valley road between the two mountains. A small stone was placed on the road to represent the convoy and the guard escorting Princess Xiao Qian. Jie Kai pointed at the sand and said, "Just reach the Reese River ferry. All these days are all right, they should be the most relaxed time.

The most elite elite guarding force in the convoy is the Assyrian Imperial Guard of Honor walking in front, headed by a large warrior, and behind the team are a group of warriors from the Kingdom of Barron to follow the protection, and Princess Qian's guard in the middle. We don't have to fight all the guards, and choose the narrowest part of the road to start a shock from the middle.

After succeeding, they were quickly dispersed into the mountains according to the original plan, and no one was allowed to stay. I have arranged for people to spread news in the kingdom. Some people will say that Princess Xiao Qian committed suicide, while others will say that Princess Xiao Qian was assassinated by Assyrian fanatics. "

A priest beside him nodded and said, "We have spread the news that someone from the Assyrian army has attempted to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian, let Sinah check it out by himself .... We set up a magical array on the mountain, and suddenly before we start The blasting of the mountain to cut off the convoy must be decided quickly .... But the great wizard Peili, who is next to the princess, is not easy to deal with, and now I heard that there is another nosy Mei Danzuo. "

Another interjected: "Leave it to me, Master Jekai and General Ace entangled Medanzo. The others attacked the princess' carriage with all their strength. Don't fall in love after the victory. When the guards before and after reacted, everything was done. It's over. "The man covered his sword in his waist and looked like a samurai, but his voice was Cain the great magician.

Cain also joined the assassination team, but he was not here to assassinate the princess. Jake wanted to set a trap on the mountain road to intercept the princess's team. He did not know that this plan would be learned by Peili in the morning and there was a trap there. Waiting for Jake to hook. The priests brought by Jake from the Barron Theological Academy and the dead men of the Barron Legion will be wiped out in the mountains, and Prince Feng New will be charged with assassinating the ambassador behind the princess.

Cain and Jake talked about the assassination plan, making sure that every detail would not be leaked, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily smiled. He seemed to have seen the scene where he and Peili jointly captured Jake Kaisheng. Just at this moment, Jake suddenly looked up and gave a warning sign, everyone stopped his voice and took up the weapon.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, His Royal Highness Prince Feng Nuo sent me!" A group of warriors stepped out of the jungle in the distance, and there were more than a dozen priests in the array. In the middle was the head of the Barron regiment and the kingdom General Robin.

Jake was startled, put away his staff and saluted, "Master Legion, how did you find this place?"

Robin replied: "His prince has long known what you want to do. A group of priests and warriors suddenly disappeared. Why didn't they get noticed? He told me to pay attention to your actions. His Highness forgave you for your assassination of the Kingdom Princess , But the prerequisite is to close it immediately and not put it into practice! "

Jake said anxiously: "But you should also understand what I did for this, now everything is ready, just ..."

Robin interrupted his words decisively: "I've found it here, can you guarantee that the Assyrian Empire didn't think of you? If you really go to assassinate, it is likely to be sent to death, but it will put His Royal Highness at a disadvantage. Situation. I'm here to execute His Highness' order. If you don't want to be treasonous, come back with me immediately! "

Cain was so disappointed in his heart that when Robin appeared, he realized that his plan to lay a trap to attract Jake and others was unsuccessful. Jake and Cain were a little reconciled, but their samurai saw the leader of the legion came and brought the latest order from His Royal Highness, and they have all bowed their heads and went bankrupt.

...

Early the next morning, when Princess Qian's team set off again, Medanzo discovered that something was wrong. Instead of sitting in the original car, the princess changed to a carriage guarded by the Darkcloth Divine Array, and was mixed in the dowry team. Many guards also hid in the convoy with weapons, and some new faces popped up in the team. They all seemed to be masters. They dressed as ordinary samurai and accompanied them on both sides of the convoy. Waiting for the assassin to come!

Mei Danzuo asked what happened to Peili, and Peili told him that there is a long road between two mountains in front of it, which is best suited to ambush and stabbing terrain, so prepare in advance to prevent accidents. Medanzo didn't say much. Today should be his last day to **** Princess Xiao Qian. His purpose is to protect the safety of the princess, and it is better to be prepared.

Soon after the team set off, it really entered a mountain road. The narrow and long sides of the valley road were steep, which was very suitable for ambush.

But until the convoy came out of the mountain, the surroundings were quiet and nothing happened. When the convoy reached the plains, another group of warriors were drilled in the dense forest on both sides, and the leader shook his head towards Cripps, apparently meaning nothing. It seems that not only the team is ready, but there are also ambushes in the mountains. If the assassin really chooses to operate here, I am afraid it will be wiped out.

After stepping out of the mountain and into the plain, Princess Xiao Qian sat back in her carriage, not far from the river crossing of the River Ries. Medanzo was still wearing a red robe and riding a white horse to follow the princess's car. The two warriors drilled from the dense forest also joined the guards to see their expressions relieved.

Just then, people heard the dense horseshoe again, and the guards couldn't help but get nervous again. Mei Danzuo looked back, and saw that a team under the banner of Prince Feng Niu was chasing him from behind.

They blatantly showed their banner, and Prince Feng Niu himself came, which obviously could not be the assassination. Hearing only one voice exclaimed: "His Royal Highness Princess, Prince Feng Nui has come to see you off!" The caller was Robin, the commander of the Barron Legion.

The convoy stopped, and Prince Feng Nuo approached from the side to the carriage of Princess Xiao Qian. Princess Qian asked the curtain and asked, "My dear nephew, why are you here?"

Prince Feng Nui salutes on horseback: "My dear aunt, you have to marry far away, Feng Nui is very reluctant. I was worried about state affairs a few days ago and had no time to see you off. Today I deliberately chased the frontier. I will send it personally. You go to the ferry and host a dinner at the ferry to entertain the warriors of the Assyrian Empire and express gratitude on behalf of the Kingdom of Barron! "

Princess Xiao Qian smiled and watched him beckon and said, "It's rare that you have this kind of mind, chasing me this far to send me! Come, take my car, let's go to the ferry."

Prince Feng Niu turned over and said: "The nephew has the intention, and he wants to ask to travel with his aunt." He left his guard and went to the carriage of Princess Xiao Qian in a generous manner. In addition to him and the princess, In addition, there are two maids beside the princess.

Prince Feng Niu and Princess Xiao Qian were traveling in the same car. Medanzo was also paying attention to what Feng Nuo and Xiao Qian would say in the car? Just listening to Prince Feng Niu as soon as he sat down, he said frankly, "My aunt, I have a man who tried to assassinate you. The original plan was set today. Fortunately, I was discovered and stopped in time."

Princess Xiao Qian didn't know what she looked like, sighed and sighed, "I can understand why they did that, thank you for deliberately preventing it! Maybe the successful assassination of me is better for your status in the kingdom. "

Prince Feng New shook his head and said, "No matter what happened to us, but you are innocent at the moment. On the other hand, for whatever reason you marry Sinacher, it may not be bad for the Kingdom of Barron. "

Princess Xiao Qian took a look at her nephew, who was two years older than her, and said meaningfully: "Those people under you who want to assassinate me are not only impossible to succeed, but are not good for you at all. If you really have This kind of thinking, be careful next time, don't let people prepare in advance, it will become a trap for you. "

Prince Feng Niu in the car and Mei Danzuo outside the car were secretly surprised at the same time. Princess Xiaoqian's words clearly reminded that the assassination plan had been leaked long ago. In such a covert operation, it was even mixed with the Assyrian Empire. This reminder also seems a bit sad, because Princess Xiao Qian is also hinting at Feng Niu-if you really want to assassinate me, you can't make such mistakes, don't do that kind of thing without that ability! Such things can't be done well. How can we be a competent monarch in the future?

The conversation between Princess Xiao Qian and Prince Feng New, every sentence of Peili and the Assyrian Empire watchers heard clearly. If Prince Feng New gave her something or conveyed a message, even if it was just written on paper to Xiao Qian The princess saw that the detective arrays in the carriage could be explored at any time, and they did not have the opportunity to discuss any conspiracy.

When the convoy arrived at the ferry, Prince Feng Nuo personally helped Princess Xiao Qian to get out of the carriage. At that moment, Princess Xiao Qian's expression suddenly froze--Feng Niu had plans! He held her arm and got out of the car. When she let go, she gently brushed the back of her hand. Princess Xiaoqian had one thing missing and one thing missing at the same time.

This thing is a decorative sequin that the princess sticks to her nails. Prince Feng New had replaced one of them, and the new one was still as flawless as before. But this piece was treated with special divine magic, including a message of divine magic that disappeared immediately after it was issued. The content was a word that sounded in the soul and only Xiao Qian could hear—

**
