Chapter 468 Assassination
The first is that when they were undefended, a group of gangsters attacked them on the road. Fortunately, Yang Xiaohua carried life-saving poison with her, Ayana was good at Kung Fu, and several personal guards were also very skilled, so they were able to kill all the gangsters. Kill.
They reported the matter to the city lord Sandier of Jingu City, hoping that the other party would conduct a thorough investigation. However, there were many large and small forces in Jingu City, and there were also many people from the Far Western Region here. Sandier was the city lord who was taken over by many forces outside the customs. It has no deterrent power and cannot suppress those forces. It will only make things difficult for them.
Yang Santie asked Shandie to conduct a thorough investigation, but after three to five days, there was no movement in the city lord's palace.
He had no choice but to order the people around him to be alert and try not to leave the inn during this period, but Ayana still wanted to find her relatives, and he also had to buy goods from outside the customs to bring back, so it was impossible to stay in the inn all the time.
About ten days later, he thought that the gangster incident was over, and he took his people out again. However, this time they met a group of gangsters again. Fortunately, everyone came prepared and had life-saving tools in their hands. Once again, they went out. The tough bandits were driven back.
But these two dangerous experiences were enough to make Yang San very angry.
After all, the prosperity of Jingu City depends entirely on the Qi State. They are the defeated generals of the Qi State. How dare they treat Qi State's merchants like this is intolerable. So Yang Santie directly ordered people to return to the Qi State and negotiate with the border. The guard complained.
The other party may have jumped over the wall twice, but this time he sent people directly into the inn to take action. Fortunately, Xiao Chongyun's men arrived in time and not only captured those people alive, but also intimidated all the people of Jingu City.
Xiao Chongyun sipped his saliva calmly, changed the long sword in his hand from his left hand to his right hand, and scanned the people other than Yang Santie and his wife with sharp eyes, "Have you provoked the forces outside the customs?"
"Impossible!" Yang Santie shook his head without thinking, "This is not the first time I have done business outside the customs. The last time I came here was even more chaotic. At that time, no one dared to commit murder so blatantly. This time I brought If we have enough people to come, who would dare to take such a risk unless..."
Yang Santie looked at Ayana, his brows knitted into knots, "Unless they are coming for Ayana."
At this moment, Xiao Chongyun cast his eyes on Ayana, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the female guard who protects Miss Xue Jun?"
Yang Santie nodded, "To be precise, she is the child that my mother-in-law kept in the house. After all, she is not from Qi State. The selling contract is just like a play. As she gets older, my mother-in-law is afraid that it will be delayed. The most important thing in her life was to let her go out of the customs with us to find her relatives. It was fine along the way, but problems started to occur a month after we arrived outside the customs. "
That month he was busy doing business, while Ayana went out early and came home late every day to inquire about her life experience. The things she could recall were limited, but they were all key. From the information Ayana provided, her parents had unknown identities outside the customs. Low, just ask which big figure outside the customs lost his child more than ten years ago, it is still easy to find.
Xiao Chongyun was deep in thought. At this moment, the Lord of Jingu City, Shandie, rushed over with a few followers. As soon as he entered the door, he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and kept smiling in front of Xiao Chongyun, "General Xiao, I don't know It would be a sin to fail to greet you from a distance when you are here."
Sandye imitated the Han people's way of greeting, which seemed a bit nondescript.
Xiao Chongyun didn't give him a good look at all, "Shandiya, if this general remembers correctly, the stability and prosperity of Jingu City today is all because of Qi's army, right?"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Shandie was weak and glanced at Yang Santie secretly, feeling regretful in his heart! If I had known that this man had such a great background, he would never have dared to be so negligent. Now I am afraid that it will be difficult to be kind.
Xiao Chongyun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly stepped forward and lifted Shandie's collar with one hand, "Then why did you allow the forces outside the customs to attack Qi merchants? This is not the first time! How do you think I should punish you?"
Shandie was frightened to death and quickly begged for mercy, "General Xiao, it's none of my business! It's someone who doesn't want them to get out of Jingu City alive, and I can't afford to offend them!" Shandie looked sad, His body was shaking almost imperceptibly, as if he was very afraid of that force.
His reaction made Yang Santie curious, "Who?"
Sandiya glanced at Ayana, then quickly looked away, "Yes. Prince Hanzhen of the Eagle Tribe."
“Eagle Tribe?” Yang Santie looked at Xiao Chongyun confused.
When Xiao Chongyun came to the west, he had thoroughly explored the forces outside the Pass. Hearing this, his expression changed slightly, and he muttered: "The Eagle Tribe is one of the largest tribes outside the Pass. It occupies the entire Songta Grassland. Oppositely, the Wild Wolf Tribe is one of the largest tribes outside the Pass. Tribe, they occupy another piece of Yoshino grassland. Most of the areas outside the pass are deserts. There are just two large grasslands. The other sporadic grasslands are divided up by smaller tribes.
The Nawuya tribe is not worth mentioning in the Eagle Tribe, if Qi State goes to war with the Eagle Tribe."
Shandie turned pale with fright, "We can't start a war, we can't start a war! If we really start a war, the people outside the customs won't have to live! General Xiao, please be kind and give me another chance! I will go to the Eagle Tribe in person Negotiate, they also want to trade from Jingu City, and they will sell me some face. "
Xiao Chongyun sneered, and his eyes on Shandie were very cold, "Since the other party will sell you face, then why did you go there? Shandie, since the matter has been brought to the attention of this general, we can't just let it go so easily. I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself!"
Sandier looked happy and said, "General Xiao, please speak!"
Xiao Chongyun smiled ferociously and said: "Let the Eagle Tribe hand over Prince Hanzhen, otherwise our Qi cavalry will surely trample the Songta Grassland!"
Sandiya was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was cold.
After Shandie left, Xiao Chongyun looked at Ayana with a complex expression, "The king of the Eagle Tribe is called Muhan. He is over sixty years old. He doesn't like war. If he instructs Prince Hanzhen to take action this time, Shui Ke is behind it." It’s too deep, but if Prince Hanzhen makes his own decision, then there is a high probability that you are related to the royal family of the Eagle Tribe.”
Ayana's eyelids twitched, but she was not offended by Xiao Chongyun's words, but it made Xiao Chongyun look at her a few times.
Because they had just been attacked, the assassins still needed to be interrogated, and the entire inn was occupied by Xiao Chongyun. Everyone had been worried for a day, so they could take some time to have a good rest.
Here, as soon as Shandie walked out of the inn, he quickly asked the people below to get horses and go to the Eagle Tribe himself.
He did not dare to make a big fuss, but secretly reported to others that he was here to see Prince Hanzhen.
Prince Hanzhen was anxious at the moment because there was no news about the people he sent out. When he heard Shandie coming, he immediately realized that the operation had failed. He could not help but darken his face and roared from the ministers beside him, "You are not guaranteeing me Is it foolproof? How many times has this failed?”
