226, the attempted assassination

When Gilgamesh entered the city of Baron, Faust was ordered to arrive at the new companion of the Assyrian Empire. He was the chief high priest of the empire. Of course, he should preside over such an important ceremony for the canonization of the queen. To Sinach's surprise, Faust also brought another queen, Semir.

Sinach was unhappy. Although his decision to marry Princess Xiaoxi had not sought Semir's opinion, he also hoped to marry him first, and to amend the imperial decree while creating a fait accompli. He was not willing to blame Faust in public for being troublesome, but asked Semir: "The war in the Duke Plain is not good, how could you come here?"

Semir replied, "I am here to ask Your Majesty, do you want to abolish me and establish another queen, or do you want to marry Princess Xiao Qian as the imperial concubine? If you marry a concubine, I think I should be present, and Master Sage National Master also requested this. If you want to abolish the queen, I must also hear clearly what I have in person?"

Sinach looked a little embarrassed, he wanted to have an attack but held it back, and waved his hand and said, "White, come and demonstrate my empire blueprint."

The great palace master White bowed and walked to the center of the inner hall, waved his staff to show everyone a light and shadow. The light and shadow appeared in it as if it was a combat sand table. After it was unfolded, it was a three-dimensional topography diagram of the Tianshu Continent, and different regions marked different colors.

The golden area is the territory of the original Assyrian Empire. The city of Neve is a golden highlight. There are two yellow areas. One is the six newly occupied city-states of the Kingdom of Barron. The location of the city of Rees is also displayed with a golden dot. The other area borders the Assyrian Empire through the Assyrian Plateau, occupying half of the fertile land of the Duke Plain in the north. The location of the city of Salem is also displayed with a golden dot.

It is obvious that the yellow area in the Duke Plain is the land planned to occupy by the Assyrian Empire. In the mind of Emperor Sinach the Great, the city of Salem already belonged to the Assyrian Empire.

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

This is the long-term goal of Sinach's Assyrian Empire, not only to control the entire Barron Kingdom, but also to cross the west bank of the Youdi River and occupy the entire Duke Plain. By then, this will be an unprecedented great empire. The Youdi River, the Ris River, and the Assyrian Plateau where they originate will be within the empire.

The inner hall is full of important officials of the Empire. In addition to Semir, Faust and White, there are also the imperial prime minister Alpha and the leaders of the two front legions. Sinach pointed to this blueprint and said to Semir: "Did you see the location of the three golden dots above? It is the three capitals of the empire, and Nevez is not to mention the city of Neve. We are now in the city of the accompanying capital. Queen Xiaoxi will live in the palace here, symbolizing the Assyrian Empire's rule over the Kingdom of Barron."

Semir frowned slightly and asked, "Where are the other capital, who are you preparing for?"

Sinach smiled and said, "For my queen, you! That is another capital I want to build. In the city, there will be the most gorgeous palaces and temples. The palace in the Duke Plain belongs to you."

Semir's expression could not tell any surprise, and he said lightly: "Your Majesty, you are very considerate."

Sinach pointed to the location of Salem City and said: "Although the Giant Legion failed in the battle, the war in the Kingdom of Barron has subsided. I will soon transfer the elite corps into the Duke Plain and smash the resistance of Salem City in one fell swoop. As long as the city of Salem is captured, the northern part of the Assyrian Empire will be the highest territory of the Assyrian Empire. In addition to the existing city of Enrile and the city of Salem, the east and west areas are enough to develop three new city-states. By then, I will build a new city and a palace for you, my Queen Semir."

The ministers stood up and paid tribute, "The great king, the invincible Assyrian Emperor, the entire continent will surrender under your majesty."

Faust frowned secretly. The blueprint in front of him clearly outlined Sinach's ambitions. His strategic plan was obviously to be taken in three steps. The first step was to capture the east of the Ris River in the Kingdom of Baron and the northern part of the Duke Plain. This step has been basically achieved. The only "small mistake" is to fail to successfully break through the city of Salem.

The second step of the plan is close to success, which is to control the entire Barron Kingdom through Princess Xiaoxi, marry her as the queen, and then make her as the Queen of Barron. Sinach showed such a strategic blueprint in public, which was both a pacification and a warning to Semir. He would build a new capital for her, symbolizing the rule of the Duke Plain Region, and also remind Semir not to make trouble. Marrying Princess Xiaoxi is the empire's strategy.

Semir said nothing, and was quite tired after the war and ran around for a long distance. He withdrew from the occasion of the ministers' celebration, while the ministers were still taking turns to offer blessings and praises to Emperor Sinach.

Queen Semir retreated, and Sinach was very dissatisfied. The queen has been very cold to him in recent years, almost never showing her smile, and she used the excuse of practicing advanced physical skills and even did not live with him. But Sinach has always been able to tolerate her for the simple reason. Compared to a woman, a level 9 warrior who is almost invincible on the battlefield is much more important, not to mention that this great warrior is still His Majesty, which greatly encourages the morale of the Emperor *** team.

Watching Semir leave, Sinach asked Faust in a low voice: "Sage Master, the Queen seems to be in a bad mood, why do you want her to come?"

Faust smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if she doesn't come at this moment, she will be even more dissatisfied. You might as well leave it calmly. This is the true style of the emperor! Maybe you don't know much about women. What Queen Semir wants is not a new city and a palace specially built for her."

Sinach looked at Faust: "Oh? Does Master Sage, who has always been a single and a pure practitioner, know women better than me?"

Faust lowered his head and said, "Maybe I don't understand either."

...

Princess Xiao Qian's convoy walked on the road for more than ten days, spending the night in the last town on the west bank of the Ris River. The next day, it was about to cross the river and enter the city-state of Ris occupied by the Assyrian Empire. The big river ahead was the newly divided border between the Assyrian Empire and the Barron Kingdom. Sinach sent heavy troops to wait at the ferry on the east bank, which was called welcoming the princess, which was actually showing off her military power.

On that night, in a mountain jungle not far from the ferry of the Rees River, the great magician Jake led a group of priests and warriors to camp quietly. They did not make fire, and their weapons were shining with a faint cold light in the night. They were discussing plans to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian overnight. These people must take action before crossing the river, and they would have no chance when Princess Xiao Qian crossed the river.

Under the moonlight, there was a sand table model in the middle of the clearing. It was the place where they arranged the ambush. It was a valley between the two mountains. A string of small stones was placed on the road representing the convoy and the guards escorting Princess Xiao Qian. Jake pointed to the sand table and said, "It's almost time for them to reach the ferry of the Ris River. So many days are safe and sound, it should be the time when they are most relaxed.

The most elite guard in the convoy was the Assyrian Empire guard of honor walking in front, the commander was a great warrior. At the rear of the team, there were a group of warriors from the Kingdom of Barron followed and protected, and there was Princess Xiao Qian's guard in the middle. There was no need to fight with all the guards, and choose the narrowest part of the road to suddenly launch an attack from the middle.

After success, they quickly scattered and retreated to 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, and some people will say that Princess Xiao Qian was assassinated by Assyrian military fanatics."

A priest next to him nodded and said, "We have spread news that someone in the Assyrian military intends to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian, so let Sinach go and investigate it himself... We set up a magical array on the mountain, and suddenly collapse the mountain rock before taking action to cut off the convoy. We must fight quickly... But the great magical magician Peili next to the princess is difficult to deal with. Now I heard that there is another nosy Medanzo."

Another interrupted, "Leave it to me, Lord Jeke and General Ace entangled Medanzo, and the others attacked the princess' carriage with all their might. Don't fight after the guards before and after reacted, everything was over." This man covered his face and wore a sword in his waist, looking like a warrior, but the sound was the great magician Cain.

Cain also joined the assassination team, but he was not here to assassinate the princess. Jeke wanted to set up a trap on the mountain road and cut off the princess' convoy. However, he did not know that this plan would be learned by Peili in the morning, and there was a trap waiting for Jeke to take the bait. The priests brought from Barron's Academy of Divine Arts and the dead soldiers of Barron's Legion will be beaten up in the mountains. Prince Fengniao will be charged with the charge of assassinating the princess behind the princess.

Cain discussed the assassination plan with Jeke, and determined that every detail would not be wrong. A smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have seen the scene of himself and Peili joining forces to capture Jekeke alive. Just at this moment, Jeke suddenly looked up and made a warning gesture, and everyone stopped their voices and picked up their weapons.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, Prince Fengniao sent me here!" A team of warriors walked out of the dense forest in the distance, and there were more than a dozen priests in the array behind them. In the middle was the commander of the Barron Legion, the commander of the Kingdom General Robin.

Jeke was shocked, put away his staff and saluted, "Sir, how did you find this place?"

Robin replied: "Your Highness the Prince has known what you want to do for a long time. A group of priests and warriors suddenly disappeared. How could it not be noticed? He had already ordered me to pay attention to your actions. Your Highness forgives your plan to assassinate the princess of the Kingdom, but the prerequisite is to stop immediately and not put it into practice!"

Jake said anxiously: "But you should understand why I did this. Now everything is ready, just..."

Robin interrupted him firmly and said, "I have found this place. Can you guarantee that the Assyrian Empire did not think of your move? If you really go to assassinate, it may be just a death sentence, which will put Your Highness in an unfavorable situation. I am here to carry out Your Highness's orders. If you don't want to treason, go back with me immediately!"

Cain felt very disappointed. Seeing Robin's appearance, he realized that his plan to set up a trap to lead Jeke and others to take the bait failed. Jeke and Cain were both a little unwilling to accept it, but when the samurai saw that the leader of the legion came, he had already walked over with His Royal Highness the latest orders. The assassination was declared bankrupt before it was taken.

...

The next morning, when Princess Xiao Qian's convoy set off again, Medanzo discovered that something was wrong. The princess did not sit in the original car, but changed to a carriage guarded by the hidden magic array and mixed in the team transporting dowry. Many guards also hid in the team with weapons, and several new faces appeared in the team. They looked like masters. They dressed up as ordinary warriors and followed on both sides of the convoy. This was clearly an ambush and waiting for the assassin to come!

Medanzo asked Peili what was going on, and Peili told him that there was a long and narrow road between two mountains in front, which was the most suitable terrain for ambushing and assassination, so prepare in advance to prevent accidents. Medanzo didn't say much. Today should be the last day for him to escort Princess Xiao Qian. His purpose was to protect the princess' safety, and it would be better to be prepared for it.

Shortly after the team set out, they indeed entered a mountain road. The valley road was narrow and long, steep on both sides, making it very suitable for ambushing.

But until the convoy walked out of the mountain, there was always quiet and no situation around it. When the convoy arrived at the plains, a group of warriors emerged from the dense forests on both sides. The leader shook his head at Crips, which obviously did not find anything. It seemed that not only the convoy was ready, but also there were ambushes in the mountains. If the assassin really chose to take action here, he would probably be beaten up in one fell swoop.

After walking out of the mountains and entering the plains, Princess Xiao Qian sat back on her carriage, and the Ris River Ferry was not far ahead. Medanzo was still wearing a red robe and following the princess' carriage on a white horse. The two teams of warriors who came out of the forest also met with the guards, and they were relieved to see them.

At this moment, people heard the dense sound of horse hooves again, and the guards couldn't help but become nervous again. Medanzo looked back and saw a team under the banner of Prince Feng Niu chasing from behind.

They openly showed their banner, and Prince Feng Niu himself came, which obviously could not be an assassination. A voice shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Prince Feng Niu is here to see you off!" The caller was Robin, the commander of the Barron Legion.

The convoy stopped, and Prince Feng Nuo walked around from the side to Princess Xiao Qian's carriage. Princess Xiao Qian picked up the curtain and asked, "My dear nephew, why did you come here?"

Prince Fengniao bowed on the horse's back and said, "My dear aunt, you are going to marry far away, Fengniao is very reluctant to leave. He was worried about state affairs a few days ago and didn't have time to see you off. Today he specially chased you to the border. I will personally send you to the ferry and host a banquet at the ferry to entertain the warriors of the Assyrian Empire, and express his gratitude on behalf of the Kingdom of Barron!"

Princess Xiao Qian smiled and looked at him and waved: "It's rare that you have such a heart. After chasing me so far, I'll send me it! Come and take my car, let's go to the ferry together."

Prince Feng Nuo turned over and got off the horse and said, "My nephew is thinking of this and wants to ask to go in the same car with his aunt." He left his guard and got on Princess Xiao Qian's carriage openly. In addition to him and the princess, there were two maids around the princess.

Prince Feng Nuo and Princess Xiao Qian were walking in the same car, and Medanzo was also paying attention to what Feng Nuo and Xiao Qian would say in the car? He only heard Prince Feng Nuo sit down and said calmly: "My aunt, I have subordinates who are trying to assassinate you. The original plan was set for today. Fortunately, I discovered and stopped it in time."

Princess Xiao Qian sighed and lowered her head, "I can understand why they did that. Thank you very much for stopping it! Maybe the assassination of me will be more beneficial to your position in the kingdom."

Prince Fengniao shook his head and said, "No matter what happened between us, you are innocent at this moment. On the other hand, whatever the reason you marry Sinach may not be a bad thing for the Kingdom of Barron."

Princess Xiao Qian glanced at her nephew, who was two years older than her, and said meaningfully: "The people under your command want to assassinate me, not only will it not be successful, but it will also be of no benefit to you. If you really have this kind of scheming, be cautious in making arrangements next time and don't make people prepare in advance, but it will become a trap for you."

Prince Feng Niao in the car and Medanzo outside the car were both surprised at the same time. Princess Xiao Qian's words clearly reminded that the assassination plan had been leaked long ago. In such a secret action, he actually intervened in the spy of the Assyrian Empire. This reminder also seemed a bit sad, because Princess Xiao Qian was also hinting that Feng Niao-If you really want to assassinate me, you can't make such mistakes. If you don't have that ability, don't do that kind of thing! If you can't do such a thing well, how can you become a competent monarch in the future?

The conversation between Princess Xiao Qian and Prince Feng Nuo, and every sentence of Peili and the monitors of the Assyrian Empire were clearly heard. If Prince Feng Nuo gave her something or conveyed any information, even if it was just written on paper for Princess Xiao Qian to see, the detection magic array 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 walk off the carriage. At this moment, Princess Xiao Qian's expression suddenly froze-Feng Nuo really had an arrangement! He held her arm and got out of the car, and when he let go, he gently brushed over the back of her hand. Princess Xiao Qian had one thing missing, and one more thing at the same time.

This thing is a decorative sequins stuck to the princess' nails, grinding with curved shell sheets, which look very beautiful. Prince Feng Nuo replaced one of them, and the new one was still as flawless as before. However, this piece of armor was processed by special magic, including a message that disappeared immediately after being sent. The content was a word, and only Xiao Qian could hear it when she rang in the soul.
