Prince Xiye pointed at Qin Xiao and was extremely certain that Qin Xiao was the murderer of the poison.
Both Prince Xiye and Yuwen Chengchao knew that Ke Dun must identify the murderer tonight.
It doesn't matter who the murderer is, what matters is that the murderer must be an outsider.
Prince Xiye knew that if Muzad was confirmed to be the poisoner, then he, the prince of Xiye, would naturally have no way to survive, and more importantly, the entire Xiye Kingdom would also be implicated.
The people of Xiye poisoned King Wutuo White Wolf Khan, which would inevitably arouse the anger of the eight tribes of Wutuo. They gathered a large number of troops to attack Xiye and destroy Xiye. It was really not a big deal for Wutuo Khanate.
Ke Dun asked Qin Xiao to defend himself, but Qin Xiao just smiled and said, "Ke Dun, I don't want to defend myself."
Yuwen Chengchao frowned slightly, but Yagu Shanta had already said in a deep voice: "Then you admit to poisoning?"
"I won't defend myself, just because there is really nothing to defend." Qin Xiao said: "As long as there is nothing wrong with your brain, you will never think that it was me who poisoned you."
He spoke very rudely, and Ke Dun also frowned. Ye Heju shouted: "How dare you act so presumptuously in front of Ke Dun."
"Kedun is naturally a wise man." Qin Xiao said: "Kedun, Prince Xiye claimed that I poisoned the wine glass and then poisoned Muzhad and King Khan to death. I will not defend myself. Forgive me for being presumptuous.
Ask Ke Dun a question."
Ke Dun looked solemn and said: "You say."
"No matter who it is, there must be a reason for killing, unless it is a lunatic or an idiot." Qin Xiaodao: "I think I am not a lunatic, nor an idiot, so I want to ask, what is my purpose of murdering King Khan?
Killing requires a reason and motive, what are my reasons and motives?”
"You are from the Tang Dynasty. You regard me as Wutuo as your enemy and want to murder King Khan. What other reason do you have?" Yagu Shanta said sternly.
Qin Xiao's face also turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Kedun, there was indeed a war between Wutuo and the Tang Dynasty, but everyone knows that after the last war, King Khan and I, the Tang Dynasty, began to have good relations. It was precisely because of King Khan
The resumption of trade between the two sides will bring no harm to both our countries." He looked at Xue Qilu and said, "Master Qi Jin, before we entered White Wolf City, you were ordered to salute us with a sword.
May I ask what the saber ceremony means?"
Xue Qilulu said: "The meaning of the sword-throwing ceremony is to treat you as friends and not point the sword at you. However, if you are the murderer of King Khan, the sword-throwing ceremony will naturally no longer exist."
"If we can let the King of Khan give us a sword ceremony, the King of Khan will naturally regard us as friends." Qin Xiao said: "So in the eyes of the King of Khan, although we are Tang people, we are friends of the Wutuo people. Shanta Ye
Hu’s reason for plotting to kill King Khan because we are Tang people is naturally untenable.”
Yagu Shanta's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't argue.
"With all due respect, this time we are escorting King Khan back to White Wolf City. King Khan has been with us before, and few people know about it." Qin Xiao looked at Ke Dun and said: "If we really want to murder King Khan,
Why wait until King Khan returns to the city before taking action? And if he poisons the banquet and leaves traces on the wine glasses, isn't that stupid?"
When Ke Dun and Xue Qilu heard Qin Xiao's words, they couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Qifushan controls White Wolf City in an attempt to seize King Khan. Although the news is blocked, it is impossible to achieve perfection after all. The people in the city may not know what is going on, but as the closest person to King Khan, it is natural for him to do so.
He had noticed the clues a long time ago, and Xue Qilu was also aware of it.
It's just that the strength of the two of them is simply not enough
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Confront Qifushan and dare not act rashly.
When the White Wolf King returned to the city, Qi Fushan's body was brought back. Naturally, Ke Dun and Xue Qilu knew very well that it was the White Wolf King who used the power of the Tang people to eradicate Qi Fushan. Not only these two people, but also many unruly people.
Tuo officials also knew something, but they didn't dare to say it outright.
After all, it is not a good thing for brothers to kill each other. It would be harmful to the reputation of the White Wolf Division if it were really spread, and the White Wolf King did not make the truth public.
There is no doubt that the White Wolf King was able to return to White Wolf City safely this time, and this group of Tang people deserved great credit. Otherwise, how could the White Wolf King have given them a sword ceremony, and even entertained the Tang people at the Khan's palace? Before that, the Tang people had
He is not even qualified to enter the Khan's palace.
Yuwen Chengchao saw Kedun's reaction and knew that Qin Xiao was talking about something very important. He cupped his hands and said: "Kedun, I also want to say something that shouldn't be said. I am a member of the Yuwen family in Xiling. I am also concerned about the safety of King Khan. King Khan
We are good neighbors and friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and we also support our trade with the Tang Dynasty. I am extremely grateful to King Khan both publicly and privately, and the King Khan’s reign is beneficial to us. From the perspective of interests, don’t say that we are plotting to kill Khan.
King, even if someone else is trying to kill him, we will stand up and fight to the death to protect King Khan Zhouquan."
These words hit the point even more.
Ke Dunwei nodded and said: "You are right, King Khan is alive, which will be more beneficial to you."
"Kedun, the old minister also boldly spoke out." Xue Qilu said: "The old minister thinks that the people of Prince Yuwen have no motive to murder the Khan.
Mercy, for the sake of the people of the two countries, has been opposing the continued war with the Tang Dynasty." He glanced at Yuwen Chengchao before continuing: "If they plot to kill King Khan, they are looking for disaster for themselves.
It doesn’t make sense.”
"What do the two Ye Hus think?" Ke Dun asked.
Yagu Shanta thought for a moment and then said: "Ketun, what Lao Qijin said is right. The people of Xiling should not dare to be cruel to King Khan."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that this was the first time you had spoken human words since I met you.
"Ye He Ye Hu, what about you?"
Ye Heju said: "Ketun, the murderer must be one of the Tang people and the Xiye people. We must find the real murderer." He glanced at Prince Xiye and said: "Xiye is just a small country, even if they are allowed to eat
They don't dare to poison the wine even if they have the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard."
However, Prince Xiye had already knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Ye Hu is right. Ketun, we Xiye have less than 100,000 people in total. We are located in a remote place. The Khanate can easily conquer us with just one foot."
Trampled to death at night, how dare we dare to poison King Khan, we absolutely do not dare, please be clear and discerning."
"It's true that you don't dare, but whether Muzade dares or not is another matter." Yuwen Chengchao looked at Prince Xiye with a stern expression.
Prince Xiye was startled, but immediately said: "You said Muzad...Muzad poisoned him, then...that is absolutely impossible. If he poisoned him, how could he die?"
He raised his hand and pointed at Muzad's body: "Ketun, Muzad was also poisoned to death. How can there be any reason for the poisoner to be poisoned himself? It is the Tang people who are framing us."
Prince Xiye knew what would happen if Muzad was confirmed to be the murderer, so he could only try his best to argue.
Before the rise of the Wutuo Khanate, many countries in the Western Regions had contacts with the Tang Dynasty. However, after the monster Wutuo crossed the road, although there were still trade exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, official relations almost no longer existed.
No contact.
Xiye Kingdom did not have any diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, so Prince Xiye naturally
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Don't care about accusing Tang people of being murderers.
And under this situation, even if the two sides had diplomatic relations, Prince Xiye would not hesitate at all to accuse Datang.
The saber on the head of Xiye Kingdom belongs to the Wutuo people, not the Tang Dynasty.
"Doesn't the prince know how to commit suicide out of fear of crime?" Yu Wen Chengchao said in an imposing manner: "Muzad dared to refuse to kneel down at the banquet. He is very courageous. Then he will naturally have the courage to poison the cup." His eyes were like a knife, staring at him.
Prince Xiye: "King Khan was killed. Ketun and Ye Hu will naturally investigate. If Muzade is alive, he will definitely be interrogated. He is afraid that he will expose his flaws and that the truth about poisoning King Khan will be exposed. The best way is to
, the only option is to commit suicide.”
"You...you are talking nonsense!" Prince Xiye said angrily: "These are all lies you made up."
"Muzade only thought that once he died, without any evidence, Ke Dun would not be able to find out who the murderer was." Yu Wencheng took two steps towards Prince Xiye and said sternly: "But how can such tricks fool Ke Dun and you all?
Ye Hu?"
At this moment, Qin Xiao suddenly understood why Yagu Shanta saw Muzhad's body and asked if it was suicide at the beginning. Now it seems that people like Wu Tuo really thought that it was poisoned by Xiye people at first, so
Only Yagu Shanta felt that Muzad committed suicide out of fear of crime.
If Muzad was obedient at the banquet, perhaps Ke Dun and others would consider whether Muzad had the courage to take action.
But for the sake of dignity, Muzade refused to kneel down. Although his backbone was admirable, it also made the people of Kedun feel that this man was bold and it was not impossible to poison the wine glass.
"You said... you said it was Muzhad who poisoned you, then... what were his reasons and motives?" Prince Xiye argued: "You always need a reason to kill someone."
"Prince, what's your reason?" Yuwen Chengchao asked.
Prince Xiye immediately said: "There is no reason. We in Xiye Kingdom will never dare to murder King Khan. We have no reason and motive."
"Yuwen Chengchao, what do you think is the reason why Xiye Kingdom murdered King Khan?" Ke Dun asked.
Yu Wen Chengchao turned around and cupped his hands towards Ke Dun and said, "Ke Dun, in fact, just four words can explain the reason why Muzade poisoned you."
"Oh?" Ke Dun frowned and said, "Which four words?"
"Misfortune is diverted to the east." Yu Wen Chengchao sneered and said, "The people from Xiye poisoned the cup just to frame us as the murderers. But, King Khan has been a good neighbor to us in the Tang Dynasty over the years, but Khan Tian has always been
In the expedition to the west, everyone knows that the countries in the Western Regions are vulnerable to the Khanate. Xiye is a small country. Once the Wutuo cavalry kills them, the Xiye Kingdom will be destroyed in an instant."
Yuwen Chengchao's few words made all the Wutuo people present feel comfortable listening to them.
"Are you saying that the people of Xiye were worried that the Wutuo cavalry would continue to advance westward, so they plotted to kill King Khan?" Yagu Shanta couldn't help but ask.
Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "Exactly. If Ke Dun is deceived by the Xiye people and thinks that we really murdered King Khan, then the Wutuo soldiers and people will definitely hate the Tang Dynasty, and Tian Khan will definitely gather troops and attack eastward.
Tang Dynasty, to avenge King Khan."
"That's natural." Yagu Shanta clenched his fist and said: "If the murderer is you, even if the Khan of Heaven does not send troops, I, the White Wolf Division, will definitely summon all the warriors, rush into the Tang Kingdom, and use the heads of your Tang people to sacrifice the Khan
king."
Yuwen Chengchao smiled faintly and said: "I can understand what Shanta Yehu said, and this is exactly the purpose of the Xiye people."
