Thousands of miles east of the Apa Plain, there is the capital city of Tenochtitlan in the lake, and a dark manor in the south of the city.
The sun was setting in the west, Lake Texcoco was shining with light, and the evening prayers echoed throughout the capital, and were also transmitted into the darkroom underground of the manor. The sign of the sun hummingbird was erected in the darkroom, reflecting the dim light under the weak candlelight.
In the dark secret room, several figures sat around facing another figure, and the long exchange continued.
"...You said last time that the king in the north has a huge copper beast. As long as the flames are ignited, the copper beast will spit out stone bullets and smoke, destroying the target in front of him?"
A cold voice asked calmly. Every word in that voice was stable and calm, without personal emotions.
"Yes! Yes! The huge copper beast shot out stone bullets. The poor Yolodila family, right in front of me, was shot into pieces by the copper beast's terrible stone bullets. It's so miserable, and our Zicao family
Just as miserable..."
Gulamo, the leader of the Lithospermum clan, sat slanted on the table. His eyes were divergent, his cheeks were red, his breathing was rapid, and his expression was strangely excited. All the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away, and the light and shadow were changing in front of his eyes.
.He couldn't control himself, his usual self-discipline was broken down, and he couldn't help but say something.
The vague voice of inquiry came from the light and shadow, and he told everything he knew, without any reservation, and every word was true.
"...You also said that there are two kinds of huge copper beasts. One can shoot stone bullets and shoot two miles away, knocking down thick trees. The other can shoot shotguns and shoot people within a hundred steps.
Into a sieve?”
"Yes! Yes! When we saw the big copper beasts knocking down trees, we knew that the noble manors everywhere could not be defended! When we saw the small copper beasts shooting a group of people to death, we knew that even in the field they could not be defeated.
Ah! If we can't defend and defeat, then the only option is to assassinate! I asked my most perfect daughter to assassinate, but it failed, and the family was destroyed, wuwuwu..."
At this point, Gulamo fell to the ground, crying loudly, and completely gave up his body to uncontrollable emotions.
Chief Intelligence Officer Gillim sat cross-legged in front of Gulammo, with two sharp bronze daggers on his waist. He looked solemn and meticulous, and waited solemnly for a long time. Gulammo still did not stop crying, with tears and runny nose.
It gushed out and wet the mat.
"Feed him another bottle of special holy water."
Gillim's cold voice sounded again. Three secret guards quickly stepped forward. One person restrained Gulamo's figure, another held his chin, and the last person refused to refuse and poured water into his mouth.
A jar of special "holy water".
"Ah! Haha!...Ah! It's so beautiful. This is the inheritance manor of my Lithospermum family! I want to climb up the tall ragwood and fly into the sky from there!"
After a moment, Gulamo sat up, with uncontrollable joy on his face and a sincere and cheerful laugh.
"...You said that you assassinated the king of the north and contacted the general from Tarasco in advance. Ezpan, the commander of the Second Lancer Corps, did not agree, but the hereditary nobles Ashtu Puap and Sky Horta agreed, and also
There are some samurai captains of the legions and samurai battalion commanders of the garrison. They promised to raise their troops together to support Prince Tarasco after the king's death?"
"Ah? Yes! Yes! It would be great if the king of the north died in the Northern Expedition! The army commanders in various places will definitely rebel, and our Zicao family can also support the prince, and go one step further. Ah!
But the king did not die in the northern expedition, nor did he die in the assassination! He led his army southward, and the despicable Gray Earth Puap and Sky Orta came to silence him and destroyed the entire Lithospermum Manor!"
Gulammo's expression became excited again. Under the influence of the special holy water, he could not control his emotions at all, and he shouted excitedly.
"Ah! My heart aches, I regret it! If I had known this, why would I choose to assassinate you? No! I don't regret it. Does the family really want to go to the north to guard the border? No, no! I regret it. Even if we guard the border, we can preserve the family.
ah..."
Chief Intelligence Officer Gilliam was thoughtful and silent.
The latest intelligence has arrived, and His Highness Shulot has carried out a purge of the legions of the Kingdom of the Lake. Both Huitu Puap and Sky Horta were dismissed from their positions as generals with real power, one was exiled to Haikou, the other was resettled in the fields, and the other involved generals were
He was exiled to the north of the Leman River. In this way, the hidden danger of Prepecha surrendering to the nobles was eliminated, and the kingdom in the lake became more stable.
After a while, Gilliam spoke again.
"Gulamo, when you contacted everyone, did you reveal the identity of Prince Sartini?"
"...Prince Sartini? Ah, yes, Prince Sartini. He is really the most suitable prince to support. He has both the blood of the Condor and the blood of the Colima noble chief, and can get the support of both parties...
Reveal your identity? I showed some tokens of the Condor Royal Family, which were given to me by the secret guards. I gave a few hints, but most people didn't notice. The only one who really knew the identity of Prince Sartini was Colima.
Chieftain is alone!"
Having said this, Gulamo seemed to suddenly wake up a little. He knelt down in pain and pleaded to the chief intelligence officer in front of him.
"Dear Lady Snake of the Alliance! I contacted the generals from all over the country, I supported Prince Chartini, and I assassinated the King of the North, but it was all because of the hints of the Secret Guard! If the Secret Guard obeys you, it must be your instruction behind it.
, I listen to you and devote myself to you! Please help me to revive the Lithospermum family!..."
Hearing this, Gillim's expression became more solemn. His words fluctuated slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Listen to me? Gulamo, you are so self-righteous that you have never heard of the Secret Guard's arrangements! The Secret Guard did not ask you to assassinate His Highness Shulot and create unrest in the west of the alliance at this critical moment! The Secret Guard just asked you to
Wait for the opportunity, listen to His Highness with peace of mind, gain the other party's trust, and integrate into the kingdom's system. Wait until King Avit has reconciled all parties, and then you have the opportunity to take action! And for the sake of your own small fiefdom, you unexpectedly assassinated and raised troops, disrupting the arrangement of the south.
,Mistaken about major alliance matters?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah! Dear Lady Snake..."
Hearing this, a strong sense of crisis surged into Gulamo's heart. He fell to the ground respectfully, not daring to refute at all.
He worked hard and escaped from the Lithospermum Manor, and went all the way to the Mexican Alliance in a low-key manner. Only with great difficulty did he meet the person in charge of the mysterious secret guard, who turned out to be the chief lieutenant of King Avite and the female snake of the alliance!
The King of Mexica secretly plotted in the south, planning the first heir of the alliance? At this moment, Gulamo's original premonition became a reality, and he was involved in a shocking change, becoming an unknowing pawn. And now
At that time, his life and death were in the hands of others, and even his sons were taken away, leaving him without any power to resist.
"Lady Snake! Although the Lithospermum family has been destroyed, I am still useful! I have connections with the nobles in the south, and I know the mountains and landscapes of the south; I have mastered the training methods of the Lithospermum family's assassins, and I am also good at training beauties.
Ji, prepare the poison; I am willing to hand over my life to you and serve you wholeheartedly!..."
Gillim sat solemnly on the spot. He glanced at Gulamo who was lying on the ground lightly, and finally said.
"Gulamo, don't worry! The Lord God has witnessed that you will appear where the alliance needs it most."
After saying this, Gillim stood up solemnly and, escorted by two secret guards, walked out into the dark secret room. The moment he went out, he whispered to the secret guards beside him.
"Add more holy water and re-interrogate. Don't miss any details. Then, wait for my order."
"As you command. Lady Snake."
The dim candlelight flickers in the dark room, carrying countless secrets, hidden deep under the soil. Everything is buried in the soil, perhaps forever.
