In February, the cold winter has not yet receded, and the joy has quietly come with the wind. In the fresh morning air, small white clouds shine in bursts of white light in the light blue and clear sky.

Crystal lù beads hang on the green grass stems and wide leaves. On the spider webs of the eaves, silver-like lù beads sparkle. The black earth that has just thawed from the winter ice seems to still have the fragrance of green grass. The songs of the grassland shepherds fall from the sky like larks. Nature fills the birth of every new day with a magnificent and solemn atmosphere.

In Ai Chemore's study, the fat man was staring at a battle report that had just been delivered to him on the table, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes. The Kugit King Sese Ali, who escaped in the Green Corridor, was not there in the end. He escaped from the undercurrent of fate and died three days ago in the encounter with the 3rd Cavalry Flag Regiment sent to pursue him in Ruidian Northern County. This was originally excellent news.

It is a pity that he arrived before the upcoming meeting of tribal leaders, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the meeting before it was held. Although Sceali was not a wise monarch, he had controlled the Turga court for 20 years. There are many subordinates, and they have close relationships with all kinds of people.

Although he is not as talented and strategist as his predecessor, King Aichemoor, and has no achievements to boast about, during his reign, the relations between the various ethnic groups in Sikujit were stable and united, from going north to occupy Natu to sending troops to Aichemoor. Er, the southern and northern wars expanded many areas,

If it weren't for his own rise and Ruidian's strong containment, Sikujit's power might have been even stronger. In this way, he can be regarded as an accomplished monarch.

This was an urgent and top-secret report. Varisien, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Flag Regiment who commanded the battle, also knew that the death of King Kugit Khan was not a trivial matter, so he did not choose to withdraw Ai Che after the battle. Instead, Moore stationed himself at the border of Ruidian and waited for further instructions from the fat man.

The fat man opened the window of the room and let the cold wind from outside blow in. Now he needed some outside power to calm down his confused head. The death of King Khan would definitely cause a wave of turmoil among the Kugit people. How should these effects be reduced?

Based on the sequence of the leaders of various tribes arriving at Aichemore in the past few days, Fatty knew that this tribal chiefs meeting was not as calm as it seemed. meeting, I’m afraid it won’t win the approval of the majority of Kugit people +3

Of the 68 small and medium-sized tribes, only 49 have arrived. As for the eight major tribes that account for the absolute majority of the population, except for the Suk tribe from Lesuk who arrived two days ago, among the leaders of the other seven tribes, only the Borg tribe of Urusame, Dundas of the Enver tribe,

One by one, they gave various excuses.

Some said they were feeling unwell, some said they fell off a horse and broke their bones, and even went so far as to say that they had lost their jobs. The fat man knew that these guys had seen the clouds coming, and the grass on the ground had grown again. I got some food in exchange for my property, and my heart began to feel alive.

According to reports from the border, just when the Western Kugit people in Turga were leaderless, the Kugit East Court in the eastern grassland also launched a series of offensives. On the one hand, they secretly sent people to claim Kugit among various tribes. The Te people have the same roots and should work together to fight against the enemy. On the other hand, His Majesty frequently sends envoys to many of the tribes. Through this series of connections, some tribes can be shaken to go to Dongting.

Although Fatty has issued a strict order not to allow anyone to enter or leave the eastern border at this critical moment, the possibility of secret communication between the tribes cannot be ruled out. At least according to the intelligence of the assassin, the leaders of 10 tribes have already said that They are willing to go to the eastern grasslands to settle down. This situation will undoubtedly make the already difficult tribal leaders meeting even worse.

"Sir, you have been thinking about it all morning, so you should take a rest."

At the entrance, Bonnie Berlant, who was wearing a light green dress, personally pushed a dining cart in. The well-cut green dress, coupled with her swaying and beautiful figure, was like a woman coming out of a painting. This beautiful woman has a different charm compared to her heroic appearance when she was a knight in full armor.

With her fair and tender hands, Bertrand Bonnie carefully placed the carefully made breakfast pieces in front of the fat man one by one from the silver dining car. Her face was calm and elegant, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that Becoming more and more integrated into my role as personal secretary

In fact, in the past two months, Berlant Bonnie felt that she had learned more secrets than she had in the previous 20 years. When many truths that seemed to be enough to shock the entire continent were revealed one by one by a fat man, like a cocoon. Then she said it in front of herself in a very casual and plain manner, and then she realized that the world was really so simple.

When you have the opportunity to stand at a considerable height and re-examine the previous problems, you will find that the change in a person's destiny, or even the direction of the situation in the entire continent, is in the hands of one or several people. One move of their hands and one move of their feet can determine the fate of millions of lives.

Unknowingly, Bertrand Bonnie has been deeply involved in it and cannot extricate herself.

"Like a fish jumping out of the river." Bonnie now vaguely understands the meaning of this sentence. Since it is so wonderful, how can she let it go so easily? She just wants to follow the fat man now,

Because only in this way can she feel that every day of her life has not been wasted. Watching a strong, cunning, and even a bit shabby man step onto the pinnacle of power to dominate everything in the world, just thinking about it will make her feel... She felt inexplicably excited. Of course, she naturally thought that this might be caused by the conspiracy bloodline in her body.

As for the information that was sent urgently in the morning, Berlantbonnie, who is a personal secretary, knew a little bit about the death of King Kujit Khan in battle. Berlantbonnie had some novel thoughts in her mind.

She wanted to speak out, just like all women want to confide in the man they rely on,

But the fat man's frown made her have some hesitation and speculation in her heart, because this idea was so naive that she couldn't believe it. This idea actually came from her head, the most outstanding graduate of Palawan Knight Academy. inside

The fat man picked up a piece of pastry with green and red hearts, put it to his mouth and took a bite. The crispy texture had a hint of sweetness, and it almost slid down his throat.

"Yes, you made this by yourself, right?" The fat man nodded approvingly and joked, "There are no such exquisite pastries in Wikiya, because in the concept of Wikiya chefs, food should not be wasted like this. They I prefer to bake these soft pastries into hard long noodles, which can save wood and fill my stomach better."

"This is the Poisson lamb from the Ruidian Palace. My father used to like to eat it the most, so I specially found someone to learn it." Bonnie's face looked unnatural, and she was obviously still hesitating whether she needed to say it. , finally couldn't hold it back, looked at the fat man's slightly darkened face and asked in a low voice, "How are you going to solve King Khan's matter this time? The hearts of all the Kugit tribes are unstable now. If you know this news, I'm afraid... Cause some trouble”

"Yes, it is indeed a difficult matter." Fatty said with deep sympathy. "If it had been some time ago or after the conference, the turmoil caused by this news would have been controllable, but it happened to come at this time. It seems that It's so inappropriate,

Not only are the various tribes looking at us now, but the Dongting and Luode people are also trying their best secretly. It was just a very ordinary thing at first, but through their hands, it will become an uncontrollable situation.

Even according to the inside information I got, the Kugit East Courtyard has already made preparations. As soon as the news of the death of King Khan here comes out, the slogan of East and West Kugit becoming one will be immediately launched. In this way Under the righteousness of the Communist Party of China, the tribes that have surrendered will inevitably be moved. Even we will be in an embarrassing dilemma. "

Hearing what the fat man said was so serious, a trace of hesitation flashed across Bertrand Bonnie's face. She looked at the fat man's face and said cautiously, "Actually, we don't have to admit it. Anyway, King Kujit Khan died in Ruidian." In the northern county, there is a war. District, today the Ruidian army will attack, and tomorrow the Kujit army will attack. Even if they encounter some daring little lords, they may encounter situations where the king is impoverished and commits plunder and is killed. In history, It’s not like it never happened.”

"Well, you mean King Khan was killed by the local lord because of robbery?" Before Bonnie finished speaking, the fat man had already raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes.

Bonnie Blunt's face turned red, and she secretly blamed herself for what had happened to her. Unexpectedly, she finally said it out loud.

"I know this explanation seems too naive, but it is still a way."

Bertrand Bonnie said quickly in a low voice. She obviously had no confidence at all. She had been suppressing it for too long just now, so she said it quickly. Her pretty face was so red that it looked like it was about to drip, and her head was bowed. Even though she said it about her towering penis, she didn't even believe it.

This is simply a scam. Although King Khan was defeated, he was still accompanied by 5,000 elite royal guards. Refugees? Nonsense, even the regular army of about 10,000 people in Ruierdian would not dare to easily provoke 5,000 royal court cavalry≡Polonium, the most famous general in the mainland, saying such words would not only bring contempt, but also To be the laughing stock of everyone

"Ha ha"

Just when Bertrand and Bonnie were feeling ashamed and angry, the fat man who had looked sad just now suddenly beamed, and the sadness just now was gone, and he laughed loudly and said

"Okay, that's the explanation. To be honest, this explanation is wonderful. I'm afraid it's the best explanation in this situation."

"Ah" Bonnie looked stunned. Looking at the fat man's proud smile, she almost lost her voice and said, "How is this possible? This will make people laugh. Even if the Kujit people are willing to believe it, Rui Erdian will not admit it." Yes, I’m afraid our situation will be even more embarrassing by then.”

"Haha, who said Ruidian people wouldn't admit it?" The fat man put his hands around her soft and elastic waist, kissed her affectionately on the cheek and said, "I dare to give you twelve points, this time The Ruidian people will not only admit the death of King Khan immediately, but also make a big fanfare and happily help us take the blame."

Bertrand Bonnie looked at the fat man with an evil smile on his face, and felt a chill rising from his back. I was afraid that this damn fat man might have some harmful tricks up his sleeve.

February is an uneven month. Unseasonal and winter come together here, and the life and death of all things on earth begins to enter a new cycle.

Ruidian Military Affairs Minister Plais was flipping through a report in his hand, with hesitation written all over his face. He was pacing back and forth in the room. The heavy footsteps were just like the doubts in his heart that were so irreconcilable.

This is an urgent report sent from Twalimburg in the northern county. The signatory is the Lord of Twalimburg, Marquis Chabode. This is a guy who likes to talk too much. Plaice still remembers that this guy once sent it at the beginning of the year. A famous battle report,

Marquis Chaibaud claimed in his report that he used 1,000 guards from Twarinburg to withstand the invasion of 50,000 Kujit cavalry and completely repelled the opponent.

This battle report was a shot in the arm for Rui Erdian's army in the harsh situation when troops were approaching the city, and even the review was omitted.

For this reason, His Majesty King Harlaus specially rewarded this guy with his sword. Later, Prais thought this was really incredible, so he sent an inspector to review the results of the battle, only to find that it was a complete joke.

There were indeed Kugits who appeared outside Tewarin Fort at that time, but they were only a small group with less than a hundred soldiers. They were a broken army that had withdrawn from the front line and ran to Tewarin Fort because they lost their way. As a result, the Marquis Chaibaud, who had thousands of guards, ran away with his wife before the battle. When he came back, he discovered that the Kugit skirmishers had just walked around outside the castle and left.

Because of the severity of the war in the north, the Ministry of Military Affairs issued a strict order to prevent many lords who were supposed to be guarding the territory from escaping. Starting from January, all lords who leave the territory without an order will be executed for treason.

Marquis Chaibaud was really frightened at that time. If his escape was reported, he would probably not be able to escape the guillotine of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Anyway, it would be better to die than to fight. He immediately expanded the number of enemies by five hundred times, and then used He used a long paragraph of rhetoric to describe how he fought bravely and almost stained the battlefield with blood in the end. It was extremely heroic and almost embarrassed all the Ruidian generals to death.

In the end, this guy won the bet. Due to political and military considerations, even if it was later secretly verified by the Ministry of Military Affairs, it was sealed up as a secret forever. Even after King Haraus found out, he just laughed it off.

In this situation, people's morale and military morale have just been cheered up. Killing this guy who pretends to be a military leader will only deal a blow to Rui Erdian. As for the enemy on the opposite side, they will laugh at King Rui Erdian as a fool.

Unexpectedly, in just a month, this guy would be back to his old ways again, and this time his story was even more unreliable.

Is it possible to report "killing King Kujit Khan" casually?

If this report hadn't been so shocking and unbelievable, Plais might have thrown this report, which was completely nonsense, into the trash can at his feet.

Of course, this time the Marquis Chaibaud had real evidence. Not only did he ask the captain of the castle guard to deliver the body of King Khan, but also the ring of King Kujit, which was the symbol of King Khan's identity. These two genuine things were brought out , even Plais, who has always been reluctant to see this guy, couldn't sit still.

Because this matter is too shocking, once word spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole city.

That was King Kugit Khan. As long as the people of Palawan today hear the word Kugit, their adrenaline hormones will surge. Continuous wars have cost Palawan nearly 10 young lives. The murderers who killed them are Kugits. If this news is true, the entire Palawan will immediately become a happy queen.

But Plais didn't think so. How could a guy who was afraid of even a hundred Kugit skirmishers kill the Kugit Khan? It was probably just by sticking out his neck that the timid Marquis Chaibaud would not be able to kill him. Don't dare to swing the sword

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Pulais's son, Pula Shao, ran in almost out of breath.

"How's it going? Have you verified it?" Plais's face was full of anxiety, and he quickly asked without even letting his son finish the saliva.

"Yes, yes"

Pula Shao was running too fast and spoke intermittently, but the excited look on his face undoubtedly told Pula Shao the result in advance.

"I have carefully checked according to the portrait you gave me. It is indeed the body of the contemporary Kugit Khan King Sese Ali. Even the locations of the arrow wounds on his ribs are exactly the same and there are many stab wounds on his body. He did die in a fierce battle."

There was uncontrollable excitement in Pula Shao's voice. He almost took out an obsidian ring engraved with strange uā patterns from his mouth and handed it to Pula Yis. "This is the one." The ring is the legendary identity symbol of King Kugit. I cannot tell whether it is genuine or not, but I believe that His Majesty the Polonium will make a judgment."

Plais picked up the ring that didn't look conspicuous at all, and the corners of his eyes twitched unnaturally. If the person is real, will the ring be fake? But it would be nonsense to believe that the cowardly Marquis Chaibaud actually killed King Kugit in the midst of thousands of troops, as the report said.

Thousands of troops? If you can see the three-star light and moon emblem of King Kujit Khan and not run away, you are considered a rare warrior.

"Father, what are you doing here?" Pula Shao looked at Pulais's almost completely downcast face and felt something strange, but couldn't say it for the moment.

"Nothing, just report the news to the palace."

Plais smiled at the corners of his mouth and waved to him awkwardly, yes, is it useful to still consider these things now? Regardless of whether King Khan was killed by that coward Chai Bod, he must insist on admitting it, because this is related to the morale of the entire kingdom's military and people.
