Chapter 616 Upheaval in Blackwater City
The leader of the warrior saw that it was the eldest prince Hale, and hurriedly said, "Oh, the eldest prince, someone attacked the long house. We are chasing the assassins! But the assassins suddenly ran away!" Hale frowned and said, "Maybe those assassins are Li Tang's people! Come with me!" Then Hale led everyone straight to the courtyard where the Li Tang's envoy was staying. As soon as he arrived at the door, Hale called to break open the gate, and a large group of people rushed in like wolfs and tigers. The Li Tang envoy suddenly saw Hale bringing people in, and was shocked. The deputy envoy, Lord Zhao, immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and asked, "Your Highness, why did you lead people in late at night?"
Haller snorted coldly, without answering, waved his hand and shouted, "Search it for me!" His officers and soldiers and the warriors of tent protection immediately rushed into the various places to search, and there was a hustle and bustle of rumbling over boxes and cabinets.
Lord Zhao was indignant and glared at Hale and shouted: "Big Prince, you led people to trespass on the garrison of my Tang Dynasty late at night. Can you tell me it was a blatant invasion of my Tang Dynasty?" Hale said coldly: "You are called a mission, but you are actually an assassin! I am sure that it was your assassin who assassinated his father Khan!" Lord Zhao was shocked and shouted: "The Great Khan was assassinated?!"
At this moment, the warrior leader suddenly ran over with a bloody package and shouted anxiously: "Big Prince, I found the head of the Khan!" Haller and Lord Zhao were both shocked. Haller took the package and opened the wrapping skin. Quillen's pale and dead head immediately appeared in front of everyone! Haller exclaimed: "Father Khan!" But Lord Zhao was shocked and had no idea what was going on.
The warrior leader pointed at Lord Zhao in anger and shouted, "You Tang people actually killed the Great Khan! I want to avenge the Great Khan!" Lord Zhao waved his hand hurriedly and said, "No, no! I don't know!" The warrior leader was furious and did not listen to the other party's words. He waved his big sword and slashed at the other party. Poor Lord Zhao, although he was well-read, had no power to tie a chicken. Seeing that the other party's big sword was coming, he could not hide at all. He heard a loud crack, and Lord Zhao's body and head were divided into two halves.
At this moment, the captain of the personal soldiers under Haller rushed over and presented a letter to Haller, and said anxiously: "Big Prince, I have found the letter of the little prince's communication with the envoy of Li Tang!" Haller quickly took the letter, took out the letter, and opened it to read it. Suddenly, he looked at it in an incredible tone, "How is this possible?!" The leader of the warrior hurriedly asked, "Big Prince, what exactly does the letter say?" Haller handed the letter to the leader of the warrior and said, "You recognize Chinese too. Read it yourself." The leader of the warrior quickly took the letter and looked at it, his eyes suddenly opened, and shouted in shock and anger: "The little prince actually colluded with the envoy of Li Tang to murder the Great Khan!... The big khan was so good to the little prince, he actually...! Even a wolf could not do such a thing! He was simply worse than a beast!"
Haller said to the Warrior Leader: "This matter is very serious. I am afraid that if he learns that the conspiracy is exposed, he will escape from Hei Shui City to his uncle. If he escapes, he will inevitably rebel, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" The Warrior Leader frowned and nodded, then said, "I'll catch him!" As he said that, he was about to leave. Haller grabbed his wrist. The Warrior Leader stopped, looked at Haller in confusion, and asked, "Why did the eldest prince stop me?"
Haller said, "I'm afraid they have escaped when they were gone. You immediately took this letter to the outside of the city and asked General Mu Kui to mobilize troops and block all the surrounding passages. As for my brother, I can just go there." The leader of the warrior felt that the arrangement of the eldest prince was more appropriate, so he nodded and said, "I'll go out of the city immediately! I will hand my people over to His Highness!" Then he ran outside.
Haller looked at the back of the warrior leader leaving quickly, and a smug smile appeared on his face. Then he said to the personal captain beside him: "Leave a team of people guarding the Tang people here, and the rest follow me to catch the rebels immediately!"
When Hale led his people to his younger brother's residence, he found that the building was empty. However, looking at the scene, they walked in a hurry. Hale immediately chased after him. It was not difficult to track the snow, and Hale and his group followed the clear traces left on the snow and chased out of the West City Gate. Soon after, they rushed to a pass several miles away. However, the scene in front of them surprised them. The pass was silent, with more than two hundred people.
The officers and soldiers guarding the pass were lying on the snow, obviously they had been dead for a long time. Haller was shocked and shouted, "How could this happen?" No wonder Haller was so shocked, because his little brother would definitely not have many people around him during the process of fleeing in a hurry. How could he kill all the officers and soldiers guarding the pass and escape in an instant? Haller came to his senses and felt that he could not ask him to escape, so he hurriedly walked through the pass and continued chasing him!
At about the same time, more than 30 black-clad masked men led by an old man returned to the station of the Liao delegation. The old man clasped his fists at Tielong and said, "Master, the little prince escaped successfully." Tielong nodded and asked, "Have you been exposed?" The old man said, "No one in the pass has ever been alive, and no one knows that it was our move." "Very good. At this point, our mission has been successfully completed."
The old man couldn't help asking, "Master, I don't understand why the king gave such an order? Isn't it all over the place to kill that little prince?" Tielong stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside the window, sighed, "The king's concerns are far-reaching, and we can't compare!" He paused, "The reason why the king is like this is because he thinks that the eldest prince of Hale is not reliable. He relies on us for seizing the throne, but once he successfully seizes the throne, he will probably turn to Li Tang again. After all, on the surface, Li Tang is the best in the world. Therefore, the king will save the little prince's life. In this way, Marce will inevitably fall into a civil war..." The old man suddenly realized and nodded and said, "So that's it! Once Marce falls into a civil war, it will not be a threat to us."
Tielong turned around and ordered, "I'll clean up and we'll return to Liaodong County in the next two days." The old man turned his promise and retreated. The next morning, Tielong received the news that the eldest prince Hale had returned without any gains, and the little prince finally escaped.
