Chapter 410 Secret Guards and Interrogation
Thousands of miles east of the Apa Plain, there is Tenochtitlan, the capital city in the lake, and a dark manor south of the city.
The sun was setting in the west, Lake Texcoco was sparkling, and the evening prayers echoed throughout the capital and into the darkroom underground of the manor. The Sun Hummingbird logo was erected in the dark room, reflecting the dim light in the dim candlelight. In the dark secret room, several figures sat around facing another figure, and the long exchange continued.
"Last time you said that the king in the north has a huge copper beast. As long as the flames are ignited, the copper beast will spit out stone bullets and smoke, destroying the target in front of him?"
A cold voice asked calmly. Every word in that voice was steady and calm, impersonal.
"Yes! Yes! The huge copper beast shot out stone bullets. The poor Yolodila family, right in front of me, was shot into pieces by the copper beast's terrible stone bullets. It's so miserable, and our Zicao family Just as miserable"
Gulamo, the leader of the Purple Grass Clan, sat slantedly on the mat. His eyes were divergent, his cheeks were flushed, his breathing was rapid, and his expression was strangely excited. All the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away, and his eyes seemed to be changing with light and shadow. He couldn't control himself, his usual self-discipline was broken down, and he couldn't help but say something.
The vague voice of inquiry came from the light and shadow, and he told everything he knew, without any reservation, and every word was true.
"You also said that there are two kinds of huge copper beasts. One can shoot stone bullets, which can travel two miles and knock down strong trees. The other can shoot shotguns and shoot people into sieves within a hundred steps. ?”
"Yes! Yes! When we saw the big copper beasts knocking down trees, we knew that the noble estates everywhere could not be defended! When we saw the small copper beasts shooting a group of people to death, we knew that even in the field they could not be defeated. Ah! If we can't defend and defeat, then the only option is to assassinate! I asked my most perfect daughter to assassinate, but it failed, and the family was destroyed, wuwuwu."
At this point, Gulamo fell to the ground, crying, completely giving up his body to uncontrollable emotions.
Chief Intelligence Officer Gillim sat cross-legged in front of Gulamo, with two sharp bronze daggers on his waist. He looked solemn and meticulous, and waited solemnly for a long time. Gulamo still didn't stop crying. Tears and snot poured out, making the mat wet.
"Feed him another bottle of special holy water."
Gillim's cold voice sounded again. Three secret guards quickly stepped forward. One person restrained Gulamo's figure, another held his chin, and the last person could not refuse and poured a jar of special "holy water" into his mouth.
"Ah! Haha! Ah! It's so beautiful. This is the inheritance manor of my Lithospermum family! I want to climb up the tall ragwood and fly into the sky from there!"
After a moment, Gulamo sat up, with uncontrollable joy on his face, and a sincere and cheerful laugh from his mouth.
".You said that you assassinated the king of the north and contacted the general from Tarasco in advance. Ezpan, the commander of the Second Lancer Corps, did not agree, but the hereditary nobles Ashtu Puap and Sky Orta agreed, and some The warrior captain of the legion and the warrior battalion commander of the army promised to raise their troops together to support Prince Tarasco after the king's death?"
"Ah? Yes! Yes! It would be great if the king of the north died in the Northern Expedition! The army commanders in various places will definitely rebel, and our Zicao family can also support a prince and go one step further. Ah! But the king did not die in the northern expedition, nor did he die in the assassination! He led his army south, and the despicable Huitu Puap and Sky Orta came to kill him and destroyed the entire Lithospermum Manor! "
Gulamo's expression became excited again. Under the influence of the special holy water, he was completely unable to control his emotions and shouted excitedly.
"Ah! My heart aches, I regret it! If I had known this, why would I choose to assassinate you? No! I don't regret it. Does the family really want to go to the north to guard the border? No, no! I regret it. Even if we guard the border, we can preserve the family. ah."
Chief Intelligence Officer Gillim was thoughtful and silent.
The latest intelligence has arrived, and His Highness Shulot has carried out a purge of the legions of the Lake Kingdom. Both Huitu Puap and Sky Horta were dismissed from their positions as generals with real power, one was exiled to Haikou, the other was resettled in the fields, and the other generals involved were exiled to the north of the Leman River. In this way, the hidden danger of Prepecha surrendering to the nobles was eliminated, and the Kingdom of the Lake became more stable from then on.
After a while, Gillim spoke again.
"Gulamo, when you contacted everyone, did you reveal the identity of Prince Sartini?"
"Prince Sartini? Ah, yes, Prince Sartini. He is really the most suitable prince to support. He has both the blood of the Condor and the blood of the Colima noble chief. Can he get the support of both parties to reveal his identity? I will show you I got some tokens from the Condor Royal Family, which were given to me by the secret guards. I made a few hints, but most people didn't realize that only the chief of Colima, Imar, really knew the identity. !”
Speaking of this, Gulamo seemed to suddenly wake up a little. He fell to his knees in pain and begged the chief intelligence officer in front of him.
"Dear Lady Snake of the Alliance! I contacted the generals from all over the country, I supported Prince Chartini, and I assassinated the King of the North, but it was all under the hint of the secret guard! If the secret guard obeys you, it must be your instruction behind it. , I will listen to you and devote myself to you! Please help me to revive the Lithospermum family!"
Hearing this, Gillim's expression became more solemn. His words fluctuated slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Listen to me? Gulamo, you are so self-righteous that you have never listened to the arrangements of the Secret Guard! The Secret Guard did not ask you to assassinate His Highness Shulot at this critical moment and create unrest in the west of the alliance! The Secret Guard only asked you to wait for the opportunity, listen to His Highness with peace of mind, gain the other party's trust, and integrate into the kingdom system. After King Avit has conquered the four directions, it will be your chance to launch an attack! And for the sake of your own small fiefdom, you rashly assassinated and raised troops, disrupted the arrangements in the south, and delayed the alliance's major events?"
"Ah! Respected Lady Snake"
Hearing this, a strong sense of crisis surged into Gulamo's heart. He fell to the ground respectfully, not daring to refute at all.
He worked hard to escape from the Purple Grass Manor and went to the Mexica Alliance in a low-key manner. He finally met the head of the mysterious Secret Guard, who turned out to be King Avit's chief deputy, the female snake of the alliance!
The King of Mexica secretly arranged in the south and planned the first heir of the alliance? At this moment, Gulamo's original premonition became a reality. He was involved in an amazing change and became an unknowing chess piece. At this time, his life and death were controlled by others. Even his sons were taken away, and he had no power to resist.
"Lady Snake! Although the Purple Grass Family has been destroyed, I am still useful! I have connections with the southern nobles, I know the mountains and rivers in the south; I master the training methods of the Purple Grass Family assassins, and I am also good at training beautiful girls and preparing poisons; I am willing to give my life to you and die for you wholeheartedly! "
Gillim sat solemnly in the same place. He glanced at Gulamo who was lying on the ground lightly, and finally said.
"Gulamo, don't worry! The Lord God witnessed that you will appear in the place where the alliance needs you most."
After speaking, Gillim stood up solemnly, and went out of the dark secret room with the respectful farewell of two secret guards. At the moment of going out, he whispered to the secret guard beside him.
"Add twice as much holy water and interrogate him again. Don't miss any details. Then, wait for my order."
"Yes, Master Snake."
The dim candlelight flickered in the dark room, carrying countless secrets, hidden deep under the soil. Everything was buried in the soil, perhaps forever.
