When Gilgamesh entered the city of Barron, Faust was also ordered to rush to the new accompaniment of the Assyrian Empire, the city of Rees, he was the chief priest of the empire, and the empress was such an important ceremony. Of course, he should come to manage . What surprised Sinacher was that Faust also brought another queen, Samir.
Sinach was displeased. Although he did not consult Semir on his decision to marry Princess Xiaoqian, he also hoped that he would marry first and then say that it would cause fait accompli and modify the imperial decree. He was not good at blaming Faust for his troubles in public, but asked Samir: "The war in the Duques Plain is unfavorable, why did you come here?" Samir replied: "I am here to ask Your Majesty, you want to abolish me. How about setting up another queen "or would you like to marry Princess Xiaoqian as the princess? If you are marrying a concubine, I think I should be present. "The sage country teacher also asked for it. If you want to abolish the queen and set up another one, I also have to hear in person what is wrong with me?", Sinacher The expression was a bit embarrassing, but he tried to hold back, and he waved: "White", let me demonstrate my blueprint for the empire. "White, the great archer of the court, bowed and walked to the center of the inner hall, and waved his staff to show everyone a glory. The glory appeared as a combat sandbox. , Different regions are marked with different colors.
The golden area is the territory of the original Assyrian Empire. The location of the city of Neem is a golden highlight. There are two yellow areas. One is the newly occupied six city-states of the Kingdom of Baron. Golden dot display. Another piece borders the Assyrian Empire through the Assyrian Plateau, and occupies half of the fertile soil of the Duque Plains in the north. The location of the withdrawal city is also shown with a golden dot.
Obviously, the yellow area in the Duque Plains is the land that the Assyrian Empire plans to occupy. In the mind of Emperor Sinacher, "The Cold City has already belonged to the Assyrian Empire.
What ’s more intriguing is that “there is also a pink area on this map, not only including the current territory of the Kingdom of Baron” but also extending westward, including the former Barron Kingdom occupied by the Kingdom of Hati on the west bank of the Youdi River Land, where the original Marduk city is located, and the entire southern part of the Duque Plain.
This is Sinacher ’s visionary goal for the Assyrian empire "not only to control the entire Kingdom of Baron, but also to extend the sphere of influence across the west bank of the Youdi River and occupy the entire Duque Plain. By then, this will be An unprecedented great empire, the Youdi River and the Rees River, including the Assyrian Plateau where they originated, will be within the empire.
In this inner hall are all the emperors of the Empire, in addition to Semir, Faust, and White, as well as the imperial prime minister Alpha and the leaders of the two front-line legions. Sinach pointed to this blueprint and said to Samir: "Did you see the position of the three golden dots on it? It is the three capital cities of the empire, and needless to say, the city of Neem, where we are now It is the city of Pedris, where Empress Xiao Qian will live in the palace here "symbolizing the rule of the Assyrian Empire over the Kingdom of Baron. "
Semir frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you prepared for another capital city?" Sinacher smiled and said, "For my queen, you! That's what I want to build. A capital city will have the most magnificent palaces and shrines in the city, and the palace of Duque Plain belongs to you. "
Semir ’s expression did not reveal any surprises, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, you thought it was very thoughtful."
Sinnah pointed to the location of the withdrawal city again: "Although the battle of the giant legion failed, but the war in the kingdom of Baron has subsided, I will soon adjust the elite troops into the Duque Plains and smash the withdrawal city in one fell swoop. Resistance. As long as the northern part of the Duque Plain is captured, the Xinjiang region of the Assyrian Empire is captured. In addition to the existing city of Enlil and the cold-swept city, "the east and west regions are enough to develop three new city-states.
At that time, I will build a new capital and palace for you and my Queen Semir. "
The group of ministers stood up in tribute and said, "The great king, the invincible Assyrian emperor, the entire continent will be subject to your majesty."
Faust frowned secretly, and the blueprint in front of him clearly outlined Sinacher ’s ambitions. His strategic plan was obviously to be divided into three steps. The first step was to capture the Ries River in the Kingdom of Barron. In the east and the northern part of the Duque Plain, this step has been largely achieved. The only "small mistake" is the failure to break through the cold city.
The second step, Ji Ge, is also close to success, that is, through the control of the entire kingdom of Barron through Princess Xiaoqian, marry her as a queen "and then establish her as Queen Barron. Sinacher publicly displayed such a strategic blueprint, right Samir is both a soothing and a warning. He is about to build a new capital for her, which symbolizes the rule of the Xinjiang territory of the Duque Plain. It also reminds Samir not to make trouble. "Marrying Princess Xiao Qian is an empire strategy.
Semir did n’t say anything. After the war, he traveled a long distance and felt tired. He withdrew from the occasion of the celebration of the group of ministers, and the ministers also offered blessings and beautiful words to Emperor Sinacher in turn.
Senacher was dissatisfied when Queen Semir withdrew. The queen has been very cold to him in recent years, "almost never even smiled" and excuses to practice high-level physical skills, and does not even live with him. But Sinach has always been able to tolerate, the reason is very simple. "Compared to a woman, a 9th-level warrior who is almost invincible on the battlefield is more important, not to mention this warrior is Her Majesty the Queen, to the morale of the Imperial Army. It is a great encouragement.
Watching Samir leave, Sinacher whispered to Faust: "The wise man, the queen seems to be in a bad mood. Why don't you let her come and Faust laughs:" Your majesty, if she does not come at this moment, she will be more dissatisfied in the future. You might as well be calm. "This is the true style of the great emperor! Maybe you do n’t know much about women. Queen Semir does n’t want a new capital and special The palace she built. "
Sinach looked at Faust: "Oh? Isn't the wise man who has been single and pursuing masters know the woman better than me?" "
Faust bowed his head and said, "Maybe I don't understand."
Princess Xiao Qian ’s convoy walked on the road for ten days and spent the night in the last town on the west bank of the River Rees. ”The next day, he would cross the river and enter the city of Rees occupied by the Assyrian Empire. The river in front is Assyria The new boundary between the empire and the Kingdom of Barron. Sinacher sent heavy soldiers to cross the east coast. Stationed and waiting, the name "Welcome Princess" is actually showing off the force.
On this night, in a mountainous area Jungle not far from the ferry crossing of the Rees, Great Archer Jie Kai led a group of priests and warriors to quietly camp. They did not make a fire, their weapons shone faintly in the night, and they were carrying out plans to stab Princess Xiaoqian at night. These people must start before crossing the river. "When Princess Xiao Qian crosses the river, they will have no chance.
In the moonlight, there is a sand table model in the middle of the open space. ”It was the place where they arranged the ambush. It was a valley road between the two mountains. A string of small stones was placed on the road to represent the convoy and the guard escorting Princess Qian Jie Kai pointed at the sand table and said: "Just reach the ferry crossing of the Rees River. So many days are safe, it should be the time when they are most relaxed.
The most elite guards in the team are the Assyrian Empire Guard of Honor walking in front, commanded by a great warrior, and a group of warriors from the Kingdom of Barron follow the protection behind the team, and there is the guard of Princess Xiao Qian in the middle. . We do n’t have to fight with all the guards, “choose the narrowest part of the road and start a sudden impact from the middle. After we succeed, we will quickly disperse and retreat to the mountains according to the original plan.” No one is allowed to stay. I have arranged for people to spread the news in the kingdom. Some people will say that Princess Xiaoqian committed suicide, while others will say that Princess Yassi was assassinated by Assyrian military fanatics. "
A priest beside him nodded and said, "We have spread the news that someone in the Assyrian military has attempted to assassinate Princess Xiaoqian." Let Sinacher investigate.
……, we set up a magical array on the mountain, and before we started, we suddenly collapsed the mountain and cut off the convoy. ”We must make a quick decision. But the great magician Peili, who is beside the princess, is not easy to deal with. There is one more Mei Danzuo who is nosy. "
Another person interjected: "Pei Li leave it to me. Master Jiekai and General Ace haunt Mei Danzuo. Others attack the princess's carriage with all their strength. Don't fight after the success." It's all over. "This man covered his face with a sword in his waist and looked like a warrior, but the sound was the great magician Cain.
Cain also joined the assassination team "but he didn't come to pierce the princess. Jiekai wanted to set a trap on the mountain road to cut off the princess's caravan." I didn't know that this plan would be known to Peili in the morning. " There is a trap waiting for Jiekai to take the bait. The priests brought from the Barron Divine Academy and the deceased of the Barron Legion will be wiped out in the mountain, and Prince Feng New will pierce the princess behind the princess. Charges.
Cain and Jiekai discussed the plan to stab, to ensure that every detail will not be leaked, and the corners of his mouth could not help smiling, as if he had already seen the scene where he and Peili teamed up to capture Jiekaisheng alive. It was at this moment that Jie Kai suddenly raised his head and gave a warning sign, "Everyone stopped the sound and picked up the weapon.
"Don't be nervous, it's me" Prince His Royal Highness sent me! "A group of warriors walked out of the jungle in the distance, and there were more than a dozen priests in the rear. In the middle was the commander of the Barron Legion, Robin the General.
Jie Kai was taken aback, put away his staff and saluted: "Master Legion, how did you find here?"
Robin replied: "His Royal Highness already knew what you wanted to do. A group of priests and warriors suddenly disappeared. How could he not pay attention? He had ordered me to pay attention to your actions, and His Royal Highness forgave you for assassinating the kingdom. The plot of the princess, but the prerequisite is to close it immediately and not put it into practice! "
Jie Kai said anxiously: "But you should also understand why I did this." Now that everything is ready, just need to ... "," Robin interrupted him resolutely, "I Having found this place, can you guarantee that the Assyrian empire did not think of you? If you really do the assassination, it is likely that you will just die "and instead put His Royal Highness in a disadvantaged position. I am here to carry out His Royal Highness ’order, if you still do n’t want to treason, come back with me immediately! "
Cain was disappointed in his heart. When he saw the appearance of Robin, he realized that his plan to lay traps to lead Jiekai and others to bait failed. Both Jiekai and Cain were a little reluctant, but the heads of their samurai warriors came and took the latest orders of His Royal Highness. They had bowed their heads and walked past. The assassination declared bankruptcy before action.
Early the next morning, when Princess Xiao Qian ’s team started again, Mei Danzuo found that something was wrong. The princess did not sit in the original car, but changed to a carriage guarded by a dark cloth magic circle "mixed in the team carrying the dowry. Many guards also hid the weapons in the convoy, and the team was inexplicable. There are several new faces in Miao, who seem to be masters. They dressed as ordinary samurai and accompanied them on both sides of the team. This is clearly an ambush and waiting for the assassin to come! Mei Danzuo asked Pei Li what was going on, Pei Li Ze Tell him that there is a long and narrow road between the two mountains in front, which is the most suitable for ambushing terrain. "So be prepared in advance to prevent accidents. Mei Danzuo didn't say much. Today should be the last day for him to **** Princess Qian. The purpose of his coming is to protect the safety of the princess. "Of course it is better to be prepared.
Soon after the team set off, they really entered a mountain road. The narrow and long sides of the valley road are steep and the mountain is steep, "which is very suitable for ambush.
But until the team walked out of the mountain, the surroundings were always quiet and nothing happened. When the convoy reached the plains, "another group of warriors were drilled in the jungle on both sides, and the leader shook his head towards Cripps." Obviously, nothing was found. It seems that not only the team is ready, but also there are ambushes in the mountains. If the assassins really choose to work here, I am afraid they will be wiped out by the net.
After stepping out of the mountain into the plain, Princess Xiaoqian sat back on her carriage, not far from the ferry crossing of the Rees River. Mei Danzuo is still wearing a red robe and riding a white horse to follow the princess's car. The two warriors from the jungle also merged with the guards, and they were relieved to see their expressions.
At this moment, people heard the dense horseshoes again. "The guards could n’t help but get nervous. Mei Danzuo looked back." I saw a team under the flag of Prince Feng Nuo was quickly chasing from behind. come.
They openly flaunted the banner, and Prince Feng Twist himself also came, which is obviously impossible to come by. Just heard a voice shouted: "His Royal Highness" Mother New Prince specially came to see you off! ", The speaker is Robin, the head of the Barron Legion.
The convoy stopped and Prince Feng Niu walked from the side to Princess Xiao Qian ’s carriage. Princess Xiao Qian picked up the car curtain and asked, "My dear nephew, why are you here?", Feng Prince New said on his horse: "My dear aunt, you want to marry far away, Feng New is very reluctant. The other day, worrying about the state affairs did not have time to see you off, today I specifically chased the border. I want to personally send you Come to the ferry and have a banquet at the ferry. The warriors of the Assyrian Empire "express their gratitude on behalf of the Kingdom of Baron! "Princess Xiao Qian smiled and looked at him and beckoned," "It's rare that you have such a heart, chased so far to send me!" Come "in my car, let's go to the ferry together."
Prince Feng Niu rolled over and said, "Nephew is so interested and wants to ask to ride with his aunt." He left his guard and was generous in the carriage of Princess Xiaoqian except the car. In addition to him and the princess, there are two maids beside the princess.
Prince Feng New and Princess Xiao Qian traveled in the same car. Mei Danzuo was also paying attention to what Feng Feng and Xiao Qian would say in the car. Just listening to Prince Feng Niu sat down and said frankly: "My aunt" I have tried to assassinate you. The original plan was set today. Fortunately, I was found and stopped in time. "
Princess Xiao Qian didn't know what it looked like, Youyou sighed and bowed her head: "I can understand why they did that" Thank you for stopping! Maybe the success of assassinating me is more beneficial to your position in the kingdom. "
Prince Feng Nuo shook his head and said, "No matter what happened between us, but you are innocent at the moment. On the other hand" Whatever the reason for your marriage to Sinach, maybe to the Kingdom of Barron It's not a bad thing. "
Princess Xiao Qian glanced at her nephew, who was two years older than her, and said meaningfully, "The people under you who want to stab me are not only impossible to succeed, but do not benefit you at all. If you really have this kind of scheming, be cautious about the next arrangement, so that people are not prepared in advance, but become a trap for you. "
Prince Feng New in the car and Mei Danzuo outside the car were secretly surprised at the same time. Princess Xiaoqian ’s words clearly reminded her of the "Assassination Plan", which had long been revealed. In such a secret operation, the spy of the Assyrian Empire was mixed in. This kind of reminder is also a bit sad, because Princess Xiao Qian is also suggesting that if you really want to assassinate me, you can't make such a mistake, don't do that kind of thing without that ability! Such things can't be done well, How can I be a competent monarch in the future?
Princess Xiao Qian ’s conversation with Prince Feng New, Peli and the Assyrian Empire watchers also heard every sentence clearly. If Prince Feng New gave her something or conveyed something, even if it was just written on paper Show Princess Qian that "the detective magic circle in the carriage can be detected at any time" and they have no chance to discuss any conspiracy.
When the convoy arrived at the ferry, Prince Feng Niu personally helped Princess Xiao Qian to get off the carriage. At this moment, Princess Xiao Qian's expression suddenly froze, Feng Nu really arranged! He held her arm out of the car and gently brushed the back of her hand when she let go. Princess Xiao Qian lost one thing in her hand and at the same time added another thing.
This thing is a decorative sequin that the princess sticks to her nails. It is polished with curved shell sheets and looks very good. Prince Feng Niu replaced one of them, and the new one was still as flawless as the original one. But this piece of armor was treated with a special divine treatment "contains a divine message that disappears immediately after it is issued. The content is a word, and only Xiao Qian can hear it in the soul
