Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 222: Faust's Problem

After the death of Hammurabi II, it is still unknown who can take control of the kingdom, but Prince Feng Niu obviously has an advantage. If Princess Xiao Qian is smart, she should choose to cooperate and protect herself.

But the situation changed too quickly, the Assyrian army suddenly invaded, and the kingdom of Balun fell thousands of miles. The six city-states ceded were also in the sphere of influence to support Princess Xiao Qian, including her captive territory, which was a devastating blow. Although Prince Feng Niu was defeated, he mastered the kingdom's army in the process of resisting foreign enemies, and has now become the pillar and pillar of this country.

However, the disaster did not end, and Sinacher ordered the kingdom of Barron again to marry her. With the wisdom of Princess Xiao Qian, how could he not guess what the ambitious emperor was carrying, and he would face him? What kind of fate? As long as she marries Sinach, the Assyrian Empire will inevitably support her to the throne.

After she became the Queen of Barron, she would either be completely under the control of Sinacher, or she would simply force her to surrender the throne. This time she was really abducted, and in such a noble and world-famous way, she was singing alone.

However, the chant was interrupted by the sound of footsteps, and Pei Li, the great magician who had been following her, came in without notice. Princess Xiao Qian turned around and looked up and asked, "Pei Li, what are you doing?"

There is not much change in Peili's appearance. The man with white skin and tender red lips still looks so enchanted, squinting his long and thin eyes and saying, "His Royal Highness, why is your singing so sad?"

Princess Xiao Qian looked at him with no tears in her eyes or even any expression, and replied lightly, "You won't understand my situation."

Pei Li smiled, and this smile made him look a little more enchanting: "Beautiful princess, of course, I know what you are worried about, and Emperor Sinacher asked you to marry him. I don't think it is a bad thing. You always It ’s about to marry someone. Now there are any famous heroes on the mainland who can be worthy of you? Only the invincible King Sinahar. With your beauty and wisdom, why worry that you wo n’t get the favor of Assyrian If you are together, you will become the most prominent monarch on the continent, the best beauty and hero in history! "

Princess Xiao Qian still said blankly, "Pei Li, I didn't expect you to be a lobbyist."

Peili shook his head: "His Royal Highness, I am thinking for you. This is not only related to the fate of countless people, but also your own destiny. The Prime Minister of Assyria Alpha sent a secret letter promising that as long as you marry Assyria Emperor, the Assyrian Empire will fully support you on your throne, and everlasting peace will be concluded, and both countries are happy. "

Princess Xiao Qian could not help raising her voice and said, "Peace?"

Peri bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness is out of wrath, and your husband and wife rule Assyria and Barron, just like their families. This is also a way to achieve peace."

Princess Xiao Qian finally expressed her anger: "The people of Baron contributed food and property, and the Assyrians became looters. This is what you call peace? Not to mention the brutal massacre!"

Peili still keeps a smile: "If you marry the Assyrian Emperor and become Queen Barron, there will naturally be no more slaughter in the kingdom. Your Royal Highness, I have followed you for many years, and you have a desire to become a queen in your early years. Right now The best time. Because of this defeated war, Prince Feng New has mastered this declining kingdom. Only by relying on the power of the Assyrian empire, you can be on the throne. As for what to do after you take the throne, I I think everything is not without a turnaround. "

The anger on Princess Xiaoqian's face faded gradually, and still asked expressionlessly: "Do you suggest that I and Xin Nahe be indifferent to the snake, marry him first?"

Perry nodded and said, "It's not bad, and it's the best choice for you and this kingdom."

Princess Xiao Qiang waved a little tiredly: "I see what you mean, go out."

Peli Li bowed and said, "Please, Your Highness Princess, please take care of your body. I will be nearby. Any unexpected situation will be on call."

Pei Li left, Princess Xiao Qian looked at the empty room, finally could not help but wipe her tears in the corner of her eyes, her expression looked so poor and helpless. She had realized one thing, she had been monitored, her private house had been surrounded by the detective magic circle, and the people who watched her turned out to be the great magician Peili who had been following her and looking forward to her ascendancy.

Peili may be out of protection for fear of something wrong, or it may be for another reason. She understands the method of the great magician. When she planned the "kidnapping case" of the plateau giant, the trap that attempted to frame Prince Feng New was designed by Peili.

Sinach's desire to control the territory of the entire Kingdom of Barron was a disaster for many people, but an opportunity for others. If the cruel monarch wants to control his great empire, he naturally needs a group of nobles who understand the kingdom to exercise power. Perry's purpose in following Princess Xiao Qian wanted it, and now Sinacher can give it to him.

...

Pei Li came to the front yard of Princess Xiao Qian's mansion, and there was another person waiting for him in the side hall, which was Cain who Amon had pointed out. When Cain saw Peili, he stood up and asked, "How is the situation, has your Royal Highness figured it out?"

Peili sighed softly: "His Royal Highness Princess is still a little worried, but please rest assured that I have deployed the Detective Magic to pay close attention to her movements and will not give her the opportunity to make a wrong decision."

Cain whispered, "I want to remind you another thing. Someone over Prince Feng New has proposed to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian, and afterwards will declare that the princess would not submit to Sinach and would rather commit suicide."

The muscles on Peili's face twitched involuntarily: "I can think of someone who might do this. Can you hear who Feng Niu intends to send and when?"

Cain replied: "Prince Feng Niu is still hesitant, but some of his men will sooner or later. I will inform you as soon as I have news and help you protect the princess. It is best to take the opportunity to eradicate the group. "Don't forget the promise made to us by the Assyrian Empire. It must not be wrong."

Perry said resentfully: "Those people attempted to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian and made a fuss about Princess Qian's death. But we can also use Princess Xiao Qian to marry King Sinnach, to promote her virtue, she is To do this for the people of the Kingdom of Barron, naturally, the warriors who follow the princess will protect her, and we have people with us. "

Cain also commanded: "Warriors from the kingdom will come to protect and **** the princess, but you must pay attention to identification and not allow assassins to mix in."

Pei Li: "Of course I know that I have been following the princess for many years and know who can be trusted. They are not the same as yours. They are really protecting the princess' safety. I believe that the princess married Sinacher for the kingdom of Barron. "

"They don't have the same idea as you," which made Cain a bit embarrassed, but it was not easy to show any dissatisfaction. After explaining a few words, he hurriedly left the princess's residence. Amon was afraid that Cain, who he had pointed out, had been bought by the Assyrian Empire after he had taken the high place of the kingdom, and he became a helper in the capital of the king.

The Prime Minister of the Assyrian Empire, Alpha, had sent a secret emissary to Cain. If the Assyrian Empire completely controlled the kingdom of Barron in the future, the high priest of Cain would enjoy unprecedented status and power. Alpha also made the same commitment to Pele.

...

Cain left Princess Qian's mansion, crossed most of the city, and entered a brothel in Barron. A man with a disguised guard was at the door. In a small flower hall, I do n’t know who to wait for, the time is not long, and the henchmen reported that his guest was here. After the door opened, it was Prince Feng New ’s confidant and Prince Feng New ’s at Barron Theological Academy. Teacher Jake.

When Amon and Medanzo met Jake in the town of Akkad, he was only a sixth-level wizard, and now he is a eighth-level wizard. With the rise of Prince Feng New's status, Jackie also became a pivotal figure in the Kingdom of Barron. This is a time of chaos, with all kinds of conflicts and opportunities on the mainland, but also an era of talents. Some people have roughly calculated that there have been more high-level accomplishments on the continent than in the past few decades. It seems that the geniuses usually buried have been sharpened and displayed in troubled times.

As soon as Cain saw Jake, he lowered his voice and said, "Has your prince decided?"

Jake sighed: "Princess Xiaoqian is not guilty, and many warriors in her kingdom support her. Her Majesty the King, under the pressure of the Assyrian Empire, had to agree to marry the princess to Sinach. But Her Majesty also told the Prince It was obvious that this matter had been dealt with by himself. His Royal Highness Prince had never had the heart to decide to get rid of this aunt who was younger than himself. "

Cain said anxiously: "Who can do this to be a woman? If Princess Qian Qian is actually married to Sinacher, the fate of Prince Feng New and the entire Kingdom of Barron will be buried in this woman. Hands. Moreover, the prince himself should know that Princess Xiao Qian had framed him then. "

Jie Kai sighed again: "I did so to persuade His Royal Highness, as far as I know, Princess Xiao Qian had framed His Royal Highness more than once. In one case, she claimed to have been assassinated, trying to make the assassin's ambassador and His Royal Highness behind In connection, His Majesty finally overwhelmed the event. "

Cain reminded: "His prince was hesitant, probably because of his future reputation after he ascended the throne. He didn't want to be charged with assassination of Princess Xiao Qian, but you and I should know how to worry about the country."

Jiekai nodded: "Yes, that's why I came to discuss this with you. We will do it ourselves, and then I will plead with the king in private."

Cain frowned: "The matter must not be made public, do you have a plan?"

Jie Kai nodded again: "I have made a complete plan. The first step is to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian, claiming that she committed suicide in order to resist the brutal Sinach. In this way, no matter which side of the kingdom will be angry Fighting with will. In the second step, His Royal Highness Feng Niu ascended to the heights to gather the hearts of the people. In the third step, he persuaded the elderly Hamorabi II to abdicate, and His Royal Highness Feng Nuo took the opportunity to ascend to the throne. This kingdom had new hope. "

Cain nodded his head silently, and said after a while: "If we make the first step, Prince Feng New can only follow this plan, but first of all, we must ensure that the first step cannot be done in any way. Mistake. There is too much movement in Wangdu. It is not easy to start. The place is best for Princess Xiaoqian to leave Wangdu on the way to the Assyrian occupation area. When you are ready, notify me immediately and remember that you must not leak any wind. "

Jackie left and Cain sat there looking at his long fingers, wondering what he was thinking. The great magician even discussed with Peili and Jiekai the protection and assassination of Princess Xiao Qian. It is really confusing which side he is. Maybe he is measuring which side he can support to get more. .

...

Salem sent an envoy to Enril. Although at war, Salem made a request to exchange prisoners of war at this time. This is also a sign that both sides are currently unable to start a large-scale battle, otherwise it is only a wise result that both lose and lose, and it is wise to exchange prisoner of war recuperation.

The document was sent to Faust. Faust didn't say anything for a long time, agreed to the request of Salem, and wrote a reply to the messenger, confirming the time, place, Number of people and how.

Judging from past practice, the exchange of prisoners of war was a signal to end the war, and Enril City also made a positive response, indicating that this war that has suffered both losses has ended. But Faust knew very well that it was just a moment of rain and fine weather, and the real storm was still behind.

The King Sinacher, who has occupied the six city-states of the Baron kingdom, will never be willing to fail in the Duke Plains. The small Salem city cannot stop his ambitious ambitions. It is estimated that it will not take long for new orders and large numbers The reinforcements are coming. The cost of launching an expedition across the Assyrian Plateau is enormous, but the brutal Sinach will not care about it.

Sinach's strategy is brutal but it seems to be effective. He wants to take back the losses of the war from the enemy and fight against the more fierce city-states, the more terrible the slaughter after the conquest. Surviving people also become slaves. Faust seems to have seen the scene of the corpse across the wild, the sheep intestine crossing the Assyrian Plateau and the fertile Duke Plain will be full of bones.

The document sent by the messenger of Salem was written by Ge Lie. Faust recognized it at a glance. He also understood the secret words in the document. He knew that Ge Lie wanted to meet him, and probably knew that Ge Lie would find him. What is he talking about.

Faust pondered for a few days alone, and finally decided to go to Semill with this letter. If there is another person in this world who can make the sage magistrate unable to give up, then it is the Assyrian queen. Faust didn't trust Semir as much as Gore, and he didn't know what Semir would think of it, but he didn't want and couldn't hide her.

Faust told Samir frankly that Gorej wanted to meet him, and he was going to the date. Semir was silent for a long time, staring at Faust with a scrutiny, as if trying to see through the sage master, but finally asked: "Are you afraid that this is a trap?"

Faust shook his head and said, "I trust Ge Lie. Since he has made a promise, he will never take advantage of this opportunity to ambush me. In this world, people and people are different, and Ge Lie is exactly this kind of person. "

Samir asked again, "I can think of what he would talk to you about, but why would you tell me again? Now in Enrille, no one can restrict your movements and ask about your whereabouts."

Faust had a momentary impulse to say something, but in the end he just bowed his head and said, "Looking at my heart, I can't hide you, I'm one with your destiny in Enril, no matter what risk I must tell you about the decision. "

Semir looked back and said, "Even if Gelie is trustworthy, it's hard to guarantee that other people in Salem will not take the opportunity to hear the news. If you lose you, tell Enril and even Asia The Syrian Empire was a disaster, so I decided to go with you. "

Faust quickly stood up and waved again and again: "No, no, Her Majesty, you must not take this risk. I tell you this, but I hope you know that if something goes wrong, you can strengthen your prevention."

Samir smiled lightly: "Dear Master of the Sage, you are not afraid to take such risks, do you think I will be afraid?"

Faust blushed and shook his head, "No, no, no, I dare not question your bravery, but you're expensive as an Assyrian queen. It's not worth it."

Samir sighed suddenly, commandingly, "What else in the world is worth me to do? Now that you know I'm the queen, then this is the order! I have decided to go with you, just to protect Your safety does not overhear your conversation with Ge Lie. You said that you did not want me to take risks, but what situation in the world is more dangerous than in the battlefield that thousands of troops killed? I have appeared on the battlefield , Can't we accompany you to such a date? "

Faust stepped back and lowered his head, "That was the order of the Assyrian Emperor. I would never want to see you kill on the battlefield in person. He has a queen like you, but he doesn't know how to care."

Samir glanced at Faust again with a deep meaning, and broke away from the topic: "You met in the mountainous area of ​​the Youdi Valley, which is two hundred miles away from the cities of Salem and Enril. It is impossible to mobilize the army in the deep mountains. If Salen City is active, it will not be able to conceal us. It is just the ambush of some masters. Even if they are not good, they can get away. That's it. You go back and prepare! "

Faust retreated, and when he came to the door, he asked again, "His dear queen, what's your latest news?"

Samir asked blankly, "What news?"

Faust said stubbornly, "The news of Her Majesty Sinacher about marrying Princess Little of the Kingdom of Barron."

Samir replied coldly: "That's His Majesty's business. He won't ask my opinion. Even if you are the Supreme Master Sage, I'm afraid you can't change His Majesty's mind."
