Chapter 622: Imperial City

Views:

When he came to the imperial capital this time, Junker only brought one entourage, and that was Nigur.

Today's Nigur is naturally no longer the playboy in the "Four Shows of the King City" in the past. He has experienced the baptism of blood in the defense of Osgilia, and has experienced the tempering of serving in the Northern Army. , This originally frivolous official's son has become calm and capable.

As Junker returned to the imperial capital, Junker first secretly contacted some old chess pieces lurking in the dark forest of the imperial capital, and then began to get in touch with the Garros Chamber of Commerce in the port area, including contact with Dax, and then Then got help from Via.

At this moment, Junker is in the tavern in the port area. In the secret room on the second floor of the tavern, Dax is sitting there smiling and looking at Junker: "There are many ways to kill a person, Junker. General, which one do you think is the easiest?"

Junker smiled lightly: "Mr. Dax, you are too polite. How dare I be arrogant when the former top intelligence officer of the Landis Kingdom is in front of me. The Night Royale is just doing some dirty work for the royal family, like you. How can I dare to compare the experts of…”

Dax's eyes flickered: "It's all for Lord Char, why belittle yourself. Lord Junker came to the imperial capital this time, presumably... Chief Sophie must have made a plan?"

"There is no plan." Junker smiled lightly: "You should understand that, whether it is successful or not, the Northern Army will never admit that it has anything to do with it. I came here just to act on a whim. ."

As he said that, Junker dipped his fingers in the wine, made a few strokes on the table, and smiled lightly: "First pass the news of the queen's pregnancy to Luo Di's army, lead Luodi back to the imperial capital, and then spread the news to The palace, let the emperor know that Rhodey is in the army... At the same time, he invited Via to stop Adric! Hey, the only one who can stop Adric in the imperial capital is Via. Mr. Dax, in your case In front of the master of layout, how dare I talk about any plans."

"You're laughing." Dax seemed to hide Del's expression on his face, turned his face slightly, and then whispered: "Once the emperor learns that Adric is covering up Rody, then it will be a complete break! No matter what. , that suspicious guy, knowing that Adric was secretly wrapped up with the little lord of the Minas family, he will definitely go crazy. At that time... Adric will not be able to defend himself even if he wants to."

"Does your plan target Adric?" Junker frowned: "Do you know that Adric is the most respected person by Lord Xia Ya, if Lord Xia Ya knows that you are plotting against Adrick, I'm afraid …”

"It's a big deal." Dax said coldly with a cold light in his eyes: "You and I are very clear about the temperament of our adult. There are decisive killings, but the love of children is also continuous. Humph... Our northern army is now strong and strong, sitting on the land of eight counties, armed with 100,000 people and a population of several million. If adults are willing to make up their minds to march south, who can compete with us in this world! But as long as Adric sits in the imperial capital, your lord will not move for a day! Humph..."

Having said this, Dax whispered: "Have you heard of one thing?"

"what?"

Dax smiled bitterly: "It is said that the last time Lord Xia led troops to King Qin of the Imperial Capital, when he met Adric, he personally promised that as long as Adric was there, he would never betray the empire, and as long as Adric was there, he would never betray the empire. When he was on stage, he took the northern army and was willing to guard the northern border for the empire!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but make an attribution: "What a stupid thing to say!"

"So, Dax, you are daring." Junker sneered: "Indulge Dodoro to play the role of a great magician in the palace, and then incite the emperor to kill the young master David of the Minas family. Just want to force the Minas family against it! And then I got the news of the queen's pregnancy again... You are operating step by step like this, just to force Adric to nowhere! Once this situation is broken, it will be an opportunity for our northern army."

Junker sighed and took a deep look at Dax: "No wonder Sophie said, you are a dangerous viper!"

Dax didn't change his expression, looked at the sky outside the window, and said lightly: "Adric should have returned to the military now. I guess he will send Roddy out of the city quietly. Next, we just need to put The news of Adrick covering Rody was spread in the imperial capital, and then... the emperor would not be able to turn his back even if he didn't want to. At that time, Adrick will see how he chooses, whether he simply decides to be a powerful minister or makes a compromise … All in all, it’s enough to break the balance of this imperial capital.”

"and then?"

"As long as the emperor turns his face, what can his hundreds of imperial guards do? But we can take the opportunity to take action, as long as we find a way to assassinate the little emperor, then... this black pot can completely let Adric take it back. At that time, even if the Derek's mouth is all over his body and he can't tell - he's covering Roddy in front, and the emperor is in the back. When the emperor dies, who will believe that he didn't do it?"

"Enough!" Junker smiled.

"I just want to know, Lord Junker, how confident are you that you will succeed in the assassination in the palace, and end up with the emperor's life."

Jun Keluo pondered for a while: "There are always 50 to 60%. There are always some secret chess lurking in the palace in the dark night royal forest, and there are also my old minions among the ordinary waiters. Even though some of them have been cleaned up, they can be used. There are a few more."

The two were discussing when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and Nigur rushed in with a panic-stricken face.

Junker looked up and frowned: "Nigur, you are also a big boss, why are you acting in such a hurry?!"

Ni Gu'er looked miserable, but quickly said: "Sir, there is news from the palace! Something big!"

"event?"

Junker's expression suddenly changed: "Could it be that Adric was forced to make up his mind to abolish the emperor?"

"No, it's not!" Nigur took a deep breath: "The secret chess in the palace sent news... Just now, Adric entered the palace to meet the emperor and defend himself, and was killed by Garcia with the palace soldiers. The Council Chamber! Adric's head has been suspended at this moment! The dozens of iron guards that Adric brought into the palace were also besieged by the Royal Forest Army, and they were all beheaded!"

"… what!!!"

With a bang, Junker jumped up and hit the wine table in front of him, his face full of shock!

Adric? died? ! Was murdered by the emperor in the palace? !

After a few turns in his mind, he immediately grabbed Nigur: "How is it possible! Is the news ready? The emperor is not an idiot. Killing Adric at this time, does he want to provoke a complete mutiny in the army? Does he want to kill himself? ?!"

He yelled frantically, and Nigur blushed, but he couldn't say a word.

"...That's not surprising."

Behind him, with a heavy sigh, Dax had come over, lightly pressed Junker's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Hey..."

wrong!

Junker suddenly let go of Nigur and turned to stare at Dax: "You... This is your plan? You already planned this?"

Dax didn't answer, he just said coldly: "Lord Junker, are you accusing me?"

"You! Dax! You are so bold!!!" Junker was furious: "General Adric is the pillar of the empire, defending Osgilia, turning the tide, and I belong to the Byzantine Empire..."

"Enough! Junkers!" Dax suddenly stopped drinking, interrupting Junker's anger, and then the muscles in the corners of Dax's eyes twitched, but his voice was extremely cold: "First, listen to me, Lao Tzu Not Byzantines! So there is no reverence for Adric! Second... Junker, you probably forgot who you are now! You are part of the Northern Army, no matter what you do, it is best to act in the interests of the Northern Army Heavy!"

Having said this, Dax took a deep breath and whispered: "I... I didn't expect the emperor to be crazy about this kind of empire. I really wanted to take the opportunity to cause a complete break between the emperor and Adric, but I didn't expect The emperor is actually crazy to this extent! Hey! Adric went to the palace to defend himself, this guy has a problem! The emperor knew that he was covering up the little lord of the Minas family. The emperor himself was suspicious. He had tried to seize power before, and he hated Adrick in his heart, but now he knew that Adric had brought Roddy into the military for protection - in this case, you let someone who hated him so badly What would the suspicious emperor think? How dare he enter the palace to defend himself?! He is too bold!"

"Maybe... he thought the emperor would not kill him. After all, if he died, who would support the situation, the army would definitely mutiny, and... "

"The emperor has been driven to a desperate situation. Who would care so much when he is crazy at this time." Dax smiled bitterly: "Okay! Let's stop talking nonsense here! Adric was killed, and the situation must be in chaos now. … Our previous plans are all void, and what matters now is how to take advantage of this situation!”

Junker looked at Dax, hesitated for a moment, and said fiercely: "The plan to assassinate the emperor..."

"There is no need to assassinate." Dax smiled bitterly: "If Lord Xia knows this news, he will definitely want to screw off the head of that rabbit emperor himself! We, the others, don't have to do it for us."

Junker snorted.

"Let's split up." Dax frowned: "You go to see Ruhl immediately... Adric was killed suddenly, and the army will be in chaos! At present, only Ruhl can stabilize the situation in the army! As long as this fat man comes forward, he can Pull up an army! The imperial capital must be grasped first! The Armenian military region is within easy reach, if the imperial capital is in chaos, Hughes will definitely come to take advantage of it, no way, Ruhr must pull up a part of the army to maintain the city defense!"

"Ruhr's prestige is not enough, I'm afraid the Central Army may not be able to listen to him."

"I can pull as many people as I can." Dax is firm and firm: "What other troops... Mutiny, let's mutiny, as long as we defend the palace, we will win! I will immediately send the news back to the northern area, once your lord learns of this The news... I'm afraid that even if someone stops him, he will immediately lead the troops down south."

Junker raised his hand and was about to go out for action. Before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and gave Dax a deep look: "Dax! Let me ask you in private... Adric was killed, it really wasn't before you. Calculated?"

Dax looked at Junker's eyes and said lightly, "I said no, do you believe it?"

When Junker heard this, he couldn't help but turned around and walked out the door silently.

In my heart, I muttered something silently.

I don't believe it!

Watching Junker leave, Dax sat heavily on the chair, and sweat slowly flowed out of his originally calm face.

"Damn, I don't think I can do this job for long." Dax smiled bitterly, picked up the glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it silently.

If Char knew that everything that happened in the imperial capital was planned by me - Adric's death, he would definitely suspect me.

Hey, this boss is actually really good, it will be difficult to find such a boss in the future.

Junkers has the news channel in the palace, but naturally some of the powerful people in the imperial capital also have the news channel in the palace.

The news that Adrick was ambushed and murdered soon came out - the bloody change in the palace, the news was originally that the paper couldn't wrap the fire.

However, the emperor moved faster. After Garcia killed Adric, he immediately ordered the Royal Forest Army to leave the palace and head towards the military headquarters.

The emperor still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to control the military headquarters with the raid of the Royal Forest Army, kill Roddy, and then control the headquarters with the speed of thunder, and then the chaos of the army could be strangled in the bud.

It's a pity... this idea is too naive.

The Royal Forest Army set out from the palace and drove outside the military headquarters, but was stopped by the guards of the Central Army. Immediately, there was friction between the two sides. Hundreds of the Royal Forest Army and the Central Army who stayed behind the high command fought directly—although the left-behind troops in the high command also fought. Not all, but these are the elite veterans of the Central Army. Where can a product like the Royal Forest Army be compared

The Imperial Forest Army was killed and retreated, and all the way back to the palace.

The little emperor showed a decisive attitude at this time - he did everything anyway! The moment he decided to kill Adric, the emperor was ready to die with the country! Killing Adric was just his last act to vent his despair and anger.

It's a pity... I couldn't kill Roddy together, it's a pity.

On the other side, Ruhl got the news that Adric was killed, and the fat man was stupid from the beginning.

He thought it was fake news - didn't Adric bring someone back to the military to protect Roddy? Why did you turn back halfway and run to the palace

Is that scar face a fool? At this time, the emperor knew that you had shielded Roddy. He must have decided in his heart that you were going to betray, and you still took the initiative to run to the palace. Isn't this courting death? !

Ruhr rushed to the military headquarters at the fastest speed, and happened to encounter the Royal Forest Army attacking the headquarters.

After all, Ruhr was a veteran in the army. With his arrival, the other generals in the headquarters immediately gave up their command. Fatty took over the defenders, repelled the Royal Forest Army, and quickly sent someone to confirm the news.

The news made Fatty completely desperate!

The captured Royal Forest Army explained that the killing in the palace was indeed not fake news! Even the dozens of guards Adrick brought into the palace, when Adrick was ambushed in the palace, were besieged by the Royal Forest Army outside, and no one was spared.

Adler's head is already hanging on the walls of the palace!

When Ruhl heard the exact news, he felt a great pain in his heart, shouted, vomited blood and passed out on the spot.

After finally waiting for everyone to rescue Ruhl, the fat man was very sad, his face was full of tears, and he yelled at Emperor Garcia.

At this moment, everyone in the headquarters was in tears, filled with righteous indignation, and countless people shouted, "Reverse! Reverse!!"

For a while, the crowd was enthusiastic.

Ruhl quickly made an order. While he sent someone to pass the order, it was not too tight to pursue the retreating Royal Forest Army, but only to force the opponent back to the palace. Can.

At the same time, Ruhl sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite the Prime Minister Sarum Bonelli.

"Even if he's ill, carry him over to me!" Ruhl shouted murderously.

In the end, Ruhl personally took all the remaining general-level officers of the military department and went out of the city to the central army camp outside the city!

Halfway through the road, I met Junker who brought someone to ask for an interview. Ruhr saw Junker, but just gave Junker a cold look with murderous aura in his eyes, and suddenly grabbed Junker's neck and said viciously: "Junker! The more I think about all these plans, the more I feel chilled! You guys... originally planned to kill Adric, didn't they?!"

Junker shook off Fatty's hand with force, and said fiercely, "That's how things were originally planned... If you say that you killed Adric, Fatty, you have a share too!"

Ruhl's body trembled, and his heart was even more remorseful, and he said angrily: "I just want to wake up that guy, but I didn't expect that guy to be so naive, he actually ran to the palace to defend himself!! I... I... "

Junker also had tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Ruhr, General Adric is a role model for imperial soldiers. I am also very saddened by his death, but now is not the right time. The most urgent thing is to go to the military camp outside the city to stabilize the situation, otherwise it will be hard for me. The Kazakh army mutiny... and it's really over!"

Ruhl's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said fiercely: "Dax... Dax! That guy, I will definitely kill him!! In this matter, he also counted me! What a ruthless method! !"

There was indeed chaos in the military camp outside the city.

The news that Adric was killed, and the news that the Royal Forest Army fought with the military headquarters in the city had already spread out of the city.

Garcia in the palace sent a special envoy to the barracks to try to take over the army, but was chopped to pieces by angry officers on the spot.

The army seems to be about to mutiny. If the 20,000 Central Army is in chaos, they will rush into the imperial capital... I am afraid that the palace will be completely bloodbathed! !

The arrival of Ruhr slightly deterred the riots in the army, but after all, he was not as prestige as Adrick, and many officers in the army might not be convinced of his orders. The prestige under neutrality is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! In the days of defending the Arc de Triomphe, the trumpet of the unyielding battle every day, coupled with the final victory counterattack, made Adric already an idol in the army.

Although Ruhl is also an old man, he is not necessarily convinced by everyone.

Sure enough, although Ruhr received the support of some lieutenant generals, there were still some generals who simply refused to follow orders, and splits soon appeared in the barracks.

Some emotional generals were about to lead their troops into the city to go to the palace to find the emperor.

Ruhr only controls half of the Central Army. The army is just over 10,000.

In the end, the two sides confronted each other in the military camp.

Those generals who opposed Ruhr were very excited, and they yelled at Ruhr in person: "Lord Adric is dead, you bastard is often relied on by the generals, and now you don't want to avenge the generals, but you still want to protect the palace. That bastard is stunned!!"

Ruhl remained silent and did not respond to these insults, only ordering people to stop these mutinous troops.

Immediately, that night, Ruhr led his troops slowly back to the city defense of Osgilia and gave up the barracks to the mutinous troops.

And the mutinous army, after a night of chaos, the next morning, a few people finally chose to enter the city to accept Ruhr's order.

And most of the mutiny, it is after a mess, and then dispersed.

The army used to have a prestige like Adric in charge. Although the situation was bad, everyone was still willing to serve Adric. Now that Adric is dead - these soldiers are not fools. Who can't see the situation? Use an imperial capital to fight against the tyrannical power of the entire empire... and still work for that bastard emperor? Who will do it

Tens of thousands of troops scattered in a hurry, and even quite a few small groups of troops actually headed towards the Armenian military region to defect to the warlord closest to the imperial capital.

Ruhl watched the military camp outside the city gradually become empty from the city, and his heart dripped more and more.

This is Adrick's efforts to maintain the last Central Army!

"What's the news in the palace?" Ruhl asked his subordinates with a sneer.

The one who answered him was a commanding officer in the military department, who gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I heard that the emperor set up a firewood platform yesterday and was ready to set off fire. But the retreating Royal Forest Army stopped him."

"That little bastard has self-knowledge." Ruhl said bitterly: "He killed Adric, and the emperor naturally sat down!"

"We sent Prime Minister Sarum Bonili into the palace, but it became quiet later. I heard that Jun Jun didn't think about it anymore, but he just didn't know what to do in it."

"It's too late for him to do anything at this time." Ruhl shook his head.

"Sir." The officer couldn't help but said, "Why don't we..."

"You mean to ask, why don't we rush into the palace to avenge General Adric?"

Ruhr looked at the subordinates around him - in fact, although many people in the army accepted Ruhr's command, there were still some people who were quite critical. Many people were still dissatisfied with Ruhr's refusal to attack and find the emperor to settle accounts. .

"When did that dwarf lord throw him in the palace, when did he fail to kill him?" Ruhl sighed: "Besides, there are people who want him to die more than we do. Is there a better way to punish this drowsy lord? Kill him with one knife. , but it is cheaper for him. Besides..." Ruhr smiled bitterly: "Adric is already dead, if the emperor is also killed, these people in our imperial capital will really become rootless water."

"The emperor..."

"Kill is to kill, he is dead." Luer said lightly.
