Chapter six hundred and fiftieth seventh cloud of suspicion
After closing the letter, Lu Heng licked his lips, shook his head and smiled.
A Gui beside him saw that the young master showed such a happy smile for the first time in the past few days, and he felt happy, scratched his head, and laughed.
The same was true for the Yanyun guards. After being stunned for a moment, they also started laughing.
Although they didn't know why the military advisor was so happy, they knew one thing, that is, as long as the military advisor showed such a bright smile, all problems would be solved.
Lu Heng nodded and smiled.
But he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he sighed softly: "Desert fox, desert fox!"
A sigh represents a thousand words.
In the end, the waves in my heart were gradually replaced by deep emotions.
Wang Liye is a man of extraordinary talent, and his military attainments are definitely not inferior to his own. In some aspects, he is even better than his own.
Such an outstanding person is willing to live in seclusion in Mobei and serve as a peerless sword in Lu Heng's hands.
Lu Heng was really touched by this kind of friendship.
I still remember that Lu Heng once asked him: With your talent, if you enter the government, you will definitely fly to the sky and become a famous minister. Aren't you aggrieved by working under me like this?
At that time, Wang Liye smiled slightly, and after a long time, he said something that moved Lu Heng extremely.
"A scholar will die for his confidant!"
Wang Liye also lived up to Lu Heng's trust. After three years of planning and struggling in the flying sand and strong wind, now, the business kingdom on the Silk Road, the Blue Sea Empire, has taken shape under the operation of the Wang family and the Ouyang family.
Tens of thousands of people and thousands of businesses.
Although there are only ten thousand people, it is an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness and strict discipline.
No one knows how this country, which seemed to have risen overnight outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, emerged or who founded it.
The surrounding countries only know that this country is very rich and powerful.
It is so powerful that no one dares to touch every plant and tree in this country.
This kingdom shouted out a slogan that spread throughout the world during the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago: Those who invade our land will be punished no matter how far away they are.
Moreover, they are also practicing it.
Lu Heng sighed softly, folded the letter and put it in his arms.
He looked at the dancing flames on the blazing bonfire with a heavy gaze in front of him, his expression calm and motionless.
Although, the current emperor and the future emperor are both good to him.
However, Lu Heng still planned his own retreat in the worst possible outcome.
The person he is today is no better than the bachelor he was in his previous life.
He also has a large family, so he has to consider his family.
There is no disloyalty in doing this. It is just a way out.
That's it!
…
Golden Wolf Beach.
A noisy and noisy scene.
Warriors wearing hooded iron helmets and crusader uniforms, with typical medieval-style broadswords on their waists, riding tall horses of European descent, gathered outside the camp.
The blazing fire dyed the night sky like day, and the dull sound of the horn resounded throughout the camp.
"What happened?" A knight asked the sentry on guard as he passed by the gate of the camp.
The sentry smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said: "Dear knight, I heard that three adults were killed! Cardinal, gather the soldiers to surround and exterminate those nasty bugs!"
"Being assassinated again?" The knight asked in confusion: "Who is it?"
It seems that this situation has been happening for several days in a row, and more than a dozen priests have been assassinated without anyone noticing.
The shadow of death, unknowingly, shrouded the sky over Jinlangtan.
The brothers in the camp were so frightened that they had not had a good sleep for several days. Now, each one looked more haggard than the other.
The sentry thought for a moment and said respectfully: "They are the three pastors of the church!"
When the knight heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it!"
After sighing as if he had caught up, the knight turned his horse's head and rode leisurely, preparing to leave the camp.
If he's not his brother, then it doesn't matter.
Anyway, they are people from the church, uh... ahem.
Seeing the sentinel looking at him strangely, the knight coughed and said angrily: "These bugs are really worthy of death. They even dare to kill respected priests. They deserve death! They deserve death!"
The sentry suddenly became solemn, and his level of respect for this Lord Knight reached another level.
Your Excellency is truly a devout believer in God. When he heard that the priests who had been stabbed a thousand times were killed, instead of showing any sign of gloating over their misfortune, he was actually so angry.
I am not as good as an adult!
The sentry sighed deeply in his heart and watched the Lord Knight leave.
Two years ago, a group of extremely tough Turks set foot on the Western Continent.
This group of heretics do not believe in God, let alone recognize the status of the church.
After a back and forth, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.
But what I didn't expect was that this group of Turks were extremely brave, and their cavalry was like a god's help in fighting.
After several battles, the church's crusaders were defeated and returned.
The Turks officially set foot on the land of Europe and became a force that cannot be ignored in Europe.
As the scope of the Turks' activities became wider and wider, the influence of the church also shrank.
Under this situation, many warriors who originally believed in the omnipotence of the Holy See began to have an impact on the church.
Moreover, with the emergence of various heretical doctrines in Europe, the dominance of the church is now in danger.
This time, the Holy See summoned all the major lords to participate in foreign wars, with the intention of using a glorious victory to restore the majesty of the church.
However, the plan is the plan, but the actual situation is different.
Along the way, the Crusaders on the Eastern Expedition were attacked by various countries along the way. The road to the East was extremely difficult.
Although, they have now reached the border of the Eastern Empire.
However, compared to the time when the Crusaders first set out, the Crusaders today are completely different in terms of morale and military appearance.
Especially a month ago, the brainless red archbishop actually attracted the attention of the Principality of the Blue Sea.
As a result, the opponent's 3,000 troops killed 5,000 Crusaders, discarding their helmets and armor, leaving behind 1,000 corpses, and fled.
That battle, like the first snow after winter, cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future of this group of crusaders who had traveled thousands of miles and penetrated into the country alone.
Now, with the war approaching, more than a dozen priests who played a religious role in the army were killed one after another.
Not a good sign!
The sentry glanced outside the camp where the crowd gathered. He sighed worriedly, feeling deeply worried about his future.
Outside the camp, thousands of people came out of the camp and surrounded the scene.
In the center of the crowd were three corpses.
These three corpses were all wearing priest's robes.
On the side, the red archbishop, with his hair uncombed and his face unwashed. He was wearing a cassock, pointed at several knights responsible for the night watch, and cursed like crazy.
Several knights lowered their heads and remained silent, allowing the protagonist to spit all over his mouth and remain motionless.
However, at their feet were the scattered corpses of several soldiers.
Obviously, these soldiers were killed to appease the bishop's anger.
A knight bent down, lifted up the white cloth and took a look. He was shocked to find that the three priests had only one fatal wound.
Between the eyebrows...
From the few words spoken by several sentries, people learned that the three priests were traveling together.
However, at this time, their arrows were shot at exactly the same location. They were all between their eyebrows.
What does this mean?
This shows that the assassins hiding in the dark are all top-notch masters.
The three of them fired three arrows at the same time, and all of them hit the target.
And, you know, it's dark now!
Such skillful cooperation and superb technology.
hiss……%
What a terrible opponent!
After feeling deeply how terrible the other party was, the knight took a closer look at the wounds between the eyebrows of the three priests.
After seeing the small hole in the priest's head, the knight frowned, turned his head, and asked the soldier beside him: "Where is the arrow?"
Upon hearing this, the soldier quickly bowed and presented the three arrows he had collected.
After the knight reached out and picked up the sharp arrow, his expression suddenly became even more ugly.
The arrow is one foot long, narrow and sharp, and has three blood grooves. It is extremely targeted. It can be said that this arrow is specially designed to deal with the Crusaders wearing chain mail.
He had only seen this kind of arrow during the war with the Principality of the Blue Sea.
The knight's face was gloomy, and he stood up with his hands on his knees. He walked up to the cardinal with the arrow in hand. Holding the arrow in both hands, he said respectfully: "My lord, I think you should take a look at this!"
The cardinal, who was scolded and thirsty, glanced at it, waved his hands angrily and said: "It's just three arrows, what's so good about it?"
When the knight heard this, he was speechless. He glanced at the stupid cardinal and cursed in his heart, what a fucking idiot!
However, given the status of the other party, he could only say this in his heart.
If you really say it, you will be hanged tomorrow!
Seeing the impatience on the cardinal's face, the knight patiently said, "Sir, this kind of arrow can only be found in the Principality of the Blue Sea!"
The cardinal frowned and asked puzzledly: "What problem can it explain?"
The corners of the knight's mouth twitched, and he wished he could rush forward immediately and kill this idiot with a knife.
After taking a deep breath, the knight raised his head and said to the red archbishop worriedly: "This means that the Tieda tribe has joined forces with the Principality of the Blue Sea!"
The knight slowly raised his hand, pointed to the west and said: "And the Principality of the Blue Sea is right behind us!"
"Then what?" the cardinal asked dully. Seeing the knight's hesitation, the cardinal said impatiently: "What on earth do you want to say?"
The knight smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "In other words, sir, we are surrounded!"
This time, the cardinal's expression finally changed! (To be continued) rq
