Chapter 586 The little prince of Beiman is suspected
The leader's wife felt something was wrong. If no one gave instructions, how could the guard deliver the message by himself?
"Who is it? Who is causing trouble behind this?"
The leader's concubine brother stepped forward and spoke sincerely:
"Sister-in-law, I know it's not easy for you to be a woman raising a child. Don't worry, from now on, as the elder brother, I will definitely support the Iron Wolf tribe and protect my sister-in-law and nephews."
After hearing what he said, the leader's wife clearly wanted to seize the capital!
"The leader has a son, so why don't you, a bastard, come out to point fingers? The elders will not agree!"
She looked hopefully at the elders in the clan, but saw that several of them also sighed.
"Madam, my little master is still young, so someone must take over the leadership position temporarily. Don't worry, when my little master grows up, the Iron Wolf tribe will still belong to my little master."
This is also what the leader, the concubine brother, promised them.
However, they all understand that whether these words can be fulfilled depends on whether the leader, the concubine brother, can secure his position as the leader of the tribe.
If the leader, the brother-in-law, is really capable and can lead the Iron Wolf tribe out of trouble, then he will have his own way to make his identity justifiable.
If he doesn't have the ability, it would be logical for the Iron Wolf tribe to return its possessions to their original owners in the future.
No matter what, they have to get through the predicament first, right?
In the past, they had royal support, which gave them the confidence to run sideways among other tribes.
Whether the Emperor's suspicion of them will continue now depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince can return safely.
But how many days have passed since the prince's disappearance? I'm afraid that his highness is already in danger.
If their Iron Wolf tribe loses its Sacred Heart, won't other tribes take advantage of it and seize resources?
How could the Iron Wolf Tribe let an indecisive woman take charge at such a critical juncture when it was facing enemies from both sides?
They had no choice but to choose generals from within and support their leader, the concubine.
The leader’s wife was furious:
"Why are you so confused? Can't you see his ambition? Can you believe what he says?
Talking about protecting our mother and son, I am afraid that in my heart I wish that our mother and son would disappear from this world immediately, so that no one can stand in his way anymore!"
The leader’s concubine brother promised:
"I can swear to God that as long as my wife can tolerate me, I will never murder my nephew."
His words were said to be a vow, but more like a threat. What if he couldn't tolerate it?
If the leader's wife continues to hinder him, will he really take action and get rid of the leader's child?
The leader's wife took a few steps back unsteadily. The children were all hers now, and she absolutely could not let anything happen to them.
She glanced at the leader's concubine with hatred, said nothing, turned back to the house, and slammed the door.
She must endure it until her son grows up! Then she will return the shame of today to that bastard tenfold and a hundredfold!
However, her poor brother is probably going to be in a bad situation.
Inside the door, the leader's wife covered her face and cried bitterly. Outside the house, the leader's concubine's brows relaxed, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up in happiness.
Remembering that there were people around him, he put on a hurt expression again.
"My sister-in-law will one day understand my painstaking efforts."
Early the next morning, the leader, Brother Shu, stretched himself out in high spirits. Now, he was finally the leader of the Iron Wolf Tribe, hahaha.
Just as he was about to go out to arrange family affairs, he saw a letter lying on the ground inside the door.
The leader's concubine's heart tightened, and he looked around in horror to make sure no one was in the room. Then he carefully stepped forward, picked up the letter on the ground, and opened it nervously to read.
"Congratulations to the leader for getting his wish. The leader only needs to follow everyone's advice and elect the second prince as the crown prince to fulfill our agreement. If you break the agreement, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Is this the letter Chu Wenjin handed him?
The leader's concubine brother instantly felt a chill running down his spine. While he was sleeping, someone avoided the guards and put the letter in his room! How could he not be frightened?
He took a few deep breaths before analyzing the contents of the letter carefully.
Nominate the second prince as the crown prince? His mind is a little confused, who is the second prince?
As far as he knew, the second prince had died a long time ago. He died in the genocide of the China tribe.
Back then, the people of the China Tribe, or the Iron Wolf Tribe, helped the royal family escort them to the royal mines for custody.
Although their Iron Wolf tribe did not directly participate in the murder of the second prince, they did not report the knowledge and were accomplices!
Not to mention that the second prince had died a long time ago, even if the second prince was still alive, he would not be able to recommend the second prince to the throne!
Otherwise, where will the Iron Wolf tribe go in the future?
It was just these four words, "You must bear the consequences at your own risk", that made the leader, the concubine, feel fearful in his heart.
The lives of so many guards could be wiped out silently. If Chu Wenjin wanted to kill one of them, wouldn't it be as easy as picking something out of a bag?
To save his own life or to save the entire tribe, this seems to be an easy choice for him.
But without the Iron Wolf tribe, wouldn't he be worse than before?
Strengthen his defense, yes, he needs to strengthen his defense first.
"Come here, withdraw half of the guards looking for the prince and protect the tribe!"
Northern Barbarian Palace,
After reading the letter from the messenger and the two confessions of the assassins that were sent to him, the Northern Man emperor slapped it on the table.
Concubine Xin, mother and son, actually colluded with the Iron Wolf tribe to intercept and kill the prince?
"Come here, bring the deputy leader of the Iron Wolf tribe here!"
Not long after, Deputy Chief Tielang was held up by the guards and dragged to the front of the Northern Barbarian Emperor.
Even though he had changed his clothes, there was still traces of blood oozing out, and it was obvious at a glance that he had been tortured.
Deputy Chief Iron Wolf knelt at the emperor's feet. Every part of his body was hurting. He was trembling and trying to maintain a respectful posture. He was really scared of being beaten.
The Northern Barbarian Emperor Sen Leng spoke:
"I ask you again, where is the prince? And who instigated your Iron Wolf tribe to kidnap the prince?"
The deputy leader was at war with nature in his heart. He remembered what the officer who was keeping watch last night secretly said to him:
The Iron Wolf tribe has changed its owner, and now the leader, the concubine brother, is in charge.
The leader's brother-in-law will definitely put all the blame on his mortal enemy.
When the time comes, the leader, Brother Shu, can take over the Iron Wolf tribe in glory and continue to serve the emperor.
If he wanted to survive, he had to strike first and pin the blame on the more eye-catching little prince.
"It's better to bring him the truth! Do you think the punishment in the sky prison is too light?"
The Northern Barbarian Emperor scolded, and Deputy Chief Iron Wolf shivered.
He had to bet his life once. He never wanted to experience the purgatory of smelling his own flesh being roasted again.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly replied:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have remembered this. There was a prince who sent someone privately to contact the leader and me. He said that he wanted to work together for a great cause. The leader and I were only loyal to the emperor, so how could we agree?
Maybe, maybe that prince has reached a private consensus with the rest of the Iron Wolf tribe?"
