Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Everyone entered the Khan Palace, and in the open space in front of the palace where the banquet was previously held, Qin Xiao saw a row of wolf guards in front of the hall.
Ye Heju stopped, turned around, looked at Yuwen Chengchao, smiled coldly, and then said to a wolf guard who was standing in front of the temple: "Hurry up and report Ke Dun. The Tang people who are going to dinner tonight have been brought here. ."
The wolf guard quickly entered the temple to report.
Yuwen Chengchao and the treasurer Bai looked at each other, feeling strange, they wanted to be taken into the palace. Logically speaking, they should report to the White Wolf Khan King. How could they report to Ke Dun?
Ke Dun is the wife of King Khan.
King Khan can have many women, but there is only one Ketun, and Ketun from the White Wolf tribe is the queen of the White Wolf tribe.
After a while, Ke Dun didn't come out, but he heard footsteps coming from behind, and then he saw Prince Xiye being brought over.
Prince Xi Ye was pale and panicked. He was also at a loss when he saw Yu Wen Chengchao and others.
In addition to the prince of the night, there are seven or eight other servants of the night of the night following the prince of the night. This group of people naturally followed the prince of hope to go out to the ambassador, but these people are not eligible to enter the palace tonight. Never saw them.
Qin Xiao didn't see the Xiye General Muzade, and was a little strange. He suddenly saw two wolf guards carrying a stretcher over the stretcher with black cloth. Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart shook.
Someone reported to Ye Heju that someone had died, and Ye Heju made people take the body into the palace, but he didn't say who died.
At this time, the stretcher was carried over with Prince Xiye, but Muzad was not seen. Could it be that Muzad was under the black cloth?
Before I thought about it, I suddenly heard someone say: "You can come!"
But Dun was over 40 and looked very dignified. Although he was older, he was well maintained.
However, she is more than 40 years old, and the environment here is rather harsh, and wrinkles have appeared on her forehead, but depending on her appearance, she must have been a great beauty when she was young.
Tong Jin Xue Qilu, Yagushan Pagoda, and several important officials followed Ketun. Not only did these people have heavy expressions, they also looked a little sad, but Dun's eyes were red, and they had obviously cried.
But after coming out, Ye Heju and all the wolf guards saluted.
Both Yuwen Chengchao and Xiye Prince also saluted.
"Ke Dun, in the next Yuwen Chengchao." Yu Wencheng took a step forward and respectfully said: "Tonight, I don't know what Ke Dun has to order? But where is King Khan?"
"Khan King has passed away." Ke Dun's voice was a little chilly: "You come and tell me why King Khan was killed?"
As soon as this statement came out, Yu Wen Chengchao's expression changed drastically, and even Qin Xiao and others were shocked.
Qin Xiao knew that the matter must be serious when he was taken to the Khan Palace in the middle of the night, but he never expected that the White Wolf Khan had passed away, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Just two hours ago, the White Wolf Khan King was still eating meat and drinking wine at the banquet. Although he was ambushed by a begging man before and almost lost his life, his injuries have almost recovered and his body still looks healthy.
At this time, hearing the news of the death of the White Wolf King, I just felt incredible.
"Katun, King Khan... really died?" The white shopkeeper, who rarely spoke, had a solemn tone, obviously not believing it.
Taking a step forward on Xue Qi's road, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is in the stretcher?"
Prince Xiye said immediately: "It's Muzad. After the banquet, when we returned to the residence, Muzad felt uncomfortable. I asked him to rest early. Only then did he send someone to call us into the palace. , I found out that... I realized that he had died in his house."
"he
How did it die?"Yagushan Tower asked in a rough voice: "Did you commit suicide?""
Qin Xiao glanced at the Gushan Pagoda, wondering why the Gushan Pagoda would ask Muzad if he committed suicide.
The commander who was responsible for bringing Prince Xiye came forward and said: "When we found him, his eyes were bleeding, the color of the blood was black, but his eyes were red, very scary, it seemed...poisoned. And die!"
Ke Dun and others changed their colors and lost their voice: "He is also poisoned?"
Yuwen Chengchao heard the meaning of Ke Dun's words and was surprised: "Ke Dun, is it...Khan King is also poisoned?"
When Yuwen Chengchao heard the news of the death of the White Wolf King, it was almost like five thunderstorms, and it was completely supported by his extraordinary will.
If there are people present who want the White Wolf King the last thing to happen, Yu Wen Chengchao is not under Ke Dun.
The Xiling Gatelord spent a lot of money in Wutuo and bought many Wutuo nobles against Tian Khan’s strategy of moving eastward. Among these Wutuo nobles, the most powerful and active is the White Wolf Khan King. It is precisely because of the opposition of King Khan with such a powerful strength as White Wolf Khan King, that many Wutuo nobles followed behind and waved their flags.
Yuwen Chengchao knew very well that without the White Wolf King, Wu Tuo's anti-war faction would not have become a climate at all.
Because of this, the Xiling Gate Clan has given the White Wolf King too many benefits over the years, and in fact, it also established the first line of defense against the Wutuo people's eastward advance in the territory of the Wutuo Khanate.
Once the White Wolf King dies, this line of defense will inevitably collapse, and Xiling will suffer a major crisis unprecedented in more than ten years.
"Khan King gave a banquet. The only guests tonight are you Yuwen's house and Xiye messenger." Ke Dun naturally knew the situation of the banquet very well: "After the banquet, King Khan wanted to rest, but suddenly he suffered from abdominal pain. The witch doctor has not arrived yet, Khan The king's eyes were bleeding, and his eyes were blood red, and his breath was gone." At the end, his voice was sad.
Yagushan Tower said coldly: "Khan King is my Wutuo's great warrior. During the banquet, he can eat meat and drink, and his body is strong. If it is not poisoned, how can he be killed?" Raising his finger to Yu Wencheng Chao said: "Why are you poisoning?"
Yuwen Chengchao said solemnly: "Santa Yehu, you accused us of poisoning, what evidence is there? This matter is extraordinary. If there is no evidence in hand and slander at will, I will never agree." Xiang Ketun handed over. : "Ke Dun, how can we behave badly against King Khan because of the great kindness of King Khan, we ask Dunn to investigate."
"Bring the evidence!" Ke Dun said lightly.
One person came up with a tray with a horn cup on it. Qin Xiao could see that the horn cup seemed to be used by the White Wolf King during the night banquet.
"There is still poison in this horn cup." Ke Dun said: "The utensils used for the banquet have been checked repeatedly and never taken lightly. The horn cup used by King Khan is even more cautious, just worrying about someone in the cup. So when the banquet starts, there can be no poison in the horn cup."
Yuwen Chengchao said, "Kedun means, someone poisoned the cup during the banquet?"
"Yes." Ke Dun nodded: "Although I didn't attend the banquet, I was already very clear about the details of the banquet. We checked the wine that King Khan drank again and again, and we confirmed afterwards that the wine is non-toxic, so the problem arises. On the horn cup. For the banquet tonight, the horn cup was almost in the hands of King Khan, but there were two times when King Khan gave wine with a horn cup. You should remember."
Qin Xiao naturally remembered.
The White Wolf King gave wine to only two people, first he gave wine to himself, and the other was Muzad who had become a corpse.
Prince Xiye's face has changed.
Although he was trembling in front of the Utuo people, he was not a fool.
But this
In other words, the murderer is pointed at the two groups of guests attending the banquet tonight.
He moved his lips slightly, wanting to explain, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Yuwen Chengchao, as if he wanted to see how Yuwen Chengchao explained first.
"At the beginning of the banquet, the wine glass was non-toxic, but after the banquet, it was found that there was still residual poison in the cup." Xue Qilu's expression was also ugly: "So the poison must be at the banquet, and it must be left in the horn cup. Those two times of the king.” Looking at Yuwen Chengchao, his eyes finally fell on Prince Xiye, and slowly said: “Prince, you came to White Wolf City with the mission, and told you that King Khan was recovering from illness. , You presented a gift, and Qi Fushan also said that you can return home, but you have not left. After waiting for more than ten days, am I right?"
Prince Xiye knew what Xue Qilu meant, and immediately said: "Yes. We send envoys every year to present gifts to the Khan Kings of Wutuo. This year is the first time I have come here as a messenger, and I have also met Tian Khan and other Khan Kings. I speak King Wolf Khan has respect. He didn't see King Khan, so he didn't dare to leave. He just wanted to wait for some time. When King Khan gets better, he would take the time to summon him."
Xue Qilu said, "Is there no other thoughts?"
"Don't dare." Prince Xiye sweats coldly on his forehead: "Xiye is a small country like fine sand. How dare you give birth to the heart of murdering King Khan?" He suddenly raised his finger to Qin Xiao and said: "Ke Dun, King Khan is the first gift Give him wine. After he drank, King Khan immediately gave Muzad the wine. When Muzad drank, the glass was already poisoned, so it was poisoned. This poison does not strike immediately, but it takes some time, Muzad When the poisoning returned to the residence, the poison began to explode, just like...like the King of Khan, and died of poisoning." Without putting down his arm, he pointed at Qin Xiao, categorically saying: "It must be him, but it must be him. After drinking, poison in the cup."
Ke Dun looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Can you hear what he said?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Hui Ke Dun speaks, I can hear clearly."
"Then how do you defend?" Ke Dun looked at Qin Xiao coldly.
King White Wolf Khan died of poison, but although he was sad, he still seemed extremely calm.
King Khan was dead, and the White Wolf group had no leader. This time was the most dangerous, and I had no choice but to grieve. The first thing was to stabilize the situation in White Wolf City, otherwise no one knew what would happen.
Ke Dun is not a beggar for the good, but he is strong. He has a group of people loyal to him. He can block the assassination of the White Wolf King, but Ke Dun can't conceal the death of King Khan.
She could only summon the important ministers under King Khan to respond urgently to the matter.
Although the news was temporarily blocked in the Palace of King Khan with the assistance of the ministers, it was impossible to hide such a major event forever.
Although Qi Fushan had been eliminated, and his confidant Jiaoli and Qiguli were also dead, but Qi Fushan's power in the White Wolf was not eliminated.
The White Wolf King just returned to White Wolf City, and he stabilized the situation first. Although he was destined to remove the begging power, he would not do it immediately. Otherwise, it would only cause internal turmoil in the White Wolf department, and let Nalusheng take advantage of it. And into.
Now that the White Wolf King is dead, and the remaining power of begging for goodness still exists, it is very likely that Brother Nalusheng will use this power to attack Ke Dun on the grounds that the White Wolf King was killed.
But if you want to stabilize the situation, you must explain why King Khan was killed, and you must find the murderer as quickly as possible. As long as the murderer is caught and executed in public, the opposition forces will no longer be able to use the incident to cause trouble. Ke Dun can also assist the sons of the White Wolf King to ascend to the throne of Khan.
Qin Xiao naturally didn't know what Ke Dun had planned, but he could be sure of one thing, Ke Dun would definitely determine the murderer from these two groups, so that he could give an explanation to the subjects of the White Wolf Tribe.
