Chapter 702 Making Decisions on One's Own

Rostianer's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the king knows about this?" But he remained calm on his face and said: "I know, I'll go now."

Rostianer quickly came to Chachatu's side. He bowed slightly and looked up to see Chachatu's ugly face. He guessed in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will share your worries about the attack of the Sassanid Empire and keep our country safe."

Rostianer looked loyal and looked at Chachatu firmly.

Chachatu snorted coldly, his face became more gloomy, and he said: "I am not worried about this matter."

Ros Tianer was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked cautiously: "Then I wonder what your majesty is worried about?"

Chachatu stared at Luo Si Tianer with a sharp gaze, and asked sternly: "Are several Central Plains people imprisoned?"

Ros Tianer thought that the king really knew about this matter, and his heart tightened, but he still said with a stiff face: "It is true, because they killed Zahu." His eyes were a little evasive, and he did not dare to look at Chachatu directly.

Chachatu frowned and continued to ask: "Have you figured out who they are?"

Ross Tianer shook his head guiltily and lowered his voice a few notes: "Not yet"

Chachatu slammed the table and said loudly: "The young man among them is the prime minister of the Central Plains Han Kingdom."

Ross Tianer was shocked when he heard it, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he stammered: "How is this possible?"

Chachatu glared at Ross Tianer and scolded: "You stupid thing! You arrested people without asking clearly, and now you have caused a big disaster. What do you think we should do?"

Ross Tianer's face was pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he knelt down and begged for mercy: " Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down. I was careless for a moment and didn't expect that he would be such an important person. Please give me a chance to make amends. "

Chachatu snorted coldly and said, "Make amends? You should think about how to solve this mess first! If you don't handle it well, I won't forgive you!"

Ross Tianer kowtowed repeatedly and replied tremblingly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely find a way to properly handle it and never let this matter affect the relationship between our country and the Central Plains."

Chachatu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go!"

Ross Tianer got up and hurriedly retreated as if he had been pardoned, but his heart was in turmoil and he didn't know what to do.

After walking out, Ross Tianer was so angry that he trembled all over and his face was ashen.

"Damn it! The king has never been so angry with me!" He cursed fiercely in his heart.

"This cowardly king said some time ago that he would kill the people from the Central Plains here, didn't he? How come he changed his mind now and even wanted to be friendly with the Central Plains!" Luo Sitian was full of resentment and confusion.

He walked quickly while thinking in his heart: "Is the king bewitched by someone? Or does he have some ulterior motive? Humph, no matter what, this makes me so embarrassed in front of the king, it's really hateful!"

Luo Sitian became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his steps became heavier. "But what should I do now? The king's order cannot be disobeyed. Do I really have to let those people from the Central Plains go? No, if I do this, how can I save my face?" He fell into deep entanglement and anxiety.

After a while, Luo Sitian returned to the bedroom again.

Seeing him coming back, Chachatu frowned and asked impatiently, "Why did you come back again?"

With a trace of doubt and unwillingness on his face, Luo Sitian'er asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, why are you so sure that man is the Prime Minister of Zhongyuan? Could it be that you were deceived?"

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Chachatu, trying to see the clues from the king's expression.

When Chachatu heard this, his face instantly became very ugly, and he felt ashamed and annoyed in his heart: "This Luo Sitian'er dared to question me."

But he still suppressed his anger and said, "Humph! A secret guard came to tell me, is this true? It's really embarrassing to say it out. I am the king of a country, and I was threatened with a dagger in my bedroom." As he said this, a trace of embarrassment flushed on his face.

Luo Si Tianer was shocked and said to himself: "There are secret guards. It seems that this is true."

But he still did not give up and said: "Your Majesty, maybe this is a trick of the Central Plains people. They deliberately sent people to deceive you."

Chachatu slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Enough! Don't quibble anymore. Go and release the people to me quickly."

Luo Si Tianer was unhappy again. His face was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip out. He gritted his teeth and his cheeks bulged. But facing the king's order, he had to suppress his anger and leave.

Walking halfway, his steps became slower and slower, and the evil thoughts in his heart kept churning: "Humph, I can't let them go so easily. Send someone to kill that person. At that time, I will claim that he is an imposter, and the king can't do anything to me."

Thinking of this, his eyes became fierce and resolute, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He stopped and looked back in the direction of the palace, swearing in his heart: "You asked for this, don't blame me for being ruthless." Then, he quickened his pace and prepared to arrange the conspiracy.

Back, Luo Sitian'er had a gloomy face and fiercely ordered several of his strong soldiers: "Go to the prison and kill that Central Plains man named Xi Yu for me!"

After receiving the order, several soldiers came to the prison in a threatening manner. Without saying a word, they broke into Xi Yu's cell and started.

Xi Yu stood up suddenly, glared angrily, and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"

One of the soldiers sneered: "Come and take your life!"

Xi Yu was extremely angry, his eyes were spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know, it must be the idea of ​​that thief Rostil."

The other soldier snorted disdainfully: "So what?"

Xi Yu straightened his spine, his eyes were majestic, and he said sternly: "Kill me, but you can't afford it!"

However, these guards looked at each other and decided that it didn't matter. One of them said: "Whoever you are, today is the day you die!" With that, they rushed towards Xi Yu again.

At this critical moment, several black shadows flashed like ghosts, and it was the secret guard who appeared.

His eyes were cold and he struck quickly, instantly fighting with several guards.

Song Shuwen crossed his arms, leaned against the wall and sneered: "These people who don't know whether to live or die are simply looking for death."

I saw the secret guard's figure like lightning and his fierce moves. After a while, several guards fell to the ground one after another.

Xi Yu looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered, with a hint of ridicule on his lips: "Just because they want to take my life, they are really overestimating their capabilities."

The secret guard asked Xi Yu anxiously: "Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Xi Yu's eyes were firm and he said decisively: "Control Rostil and bring him to the king."

The secret guard immediately agreed: "Yes, Prime Minister!"

Rostil was drinking tea leisurely in the room when he heard the sound of footsteps. He was full of expectation, thinking that a few guards were back, so he put down the tea cup and asked with a smile: "Should we handle the matter?" alright?"

However, when he saw the person clearly, the smile on his face suddenly solidified. His eyes widened and he looked at the few black figures in front of him in horror. These black figures all looked like cold Central Plains people.

Rostil's heart sank suddenly, cold sweat broke out instantly, and he said tremblingly: "You... who are you?"

One of the secret guards opened his eyes angrily and reprimanded him severely: "You dare to send people to kill my prime minister, you dare to send people to kill my prime minister. You deserve to die!" After saying that, he raised his hand and hit Ross with a "snap" Tian'er slapped him.

Rostil's head was knocked sideways by the sudden slap, and a red palm print instantly appeared on his face. He was shocked and angry, and was about to explode, but under the cold and fierce gaze of the secret guard, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"How dare you do this to me!" Rostil's voice was trembling and unwilling, but his eyes were full of fear.

Next, several secret guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, knocking Rostil down to the ground.

Rostil struggled in fear and shouted: "Let me go, let me go!"

However, the secret guards ignored his shouts and quickly tied him up with ropes.

Rostil's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of despair and anger: "You lawless guys, the king will not let you go!"

The secret guards snorted coldly, and one of them said: "Huh, when you see the king, you will feel better!"

Then, they found a large sack and stuffed him into it regardless of Rostil's desperate resistance. Rostil kept twisting his body in the sack and kept cursing: "You bastards, I am an important official of the imperial court, how dare you do this to me, I will let you die without a burial place." !”

But the secret guards didn't care about his threat at all. They carried the sack containing Rostil and walked towards the palace of King Chachatu.

Chacha Tu was having fun in the palace with a princess, thinking happily that Rostil had always been obedient, and this time things would definitely be handled properly.

But he didn't expect that a painful groan suddenly came from outside. It was several guards who were knocked down.

Chachatu was shocked, suddenly lost all interest, and immediately sat up from the bed.

Before he could react, he saw several secret guards walking in menacingly.

Chachatu was startled, his face instantly turned pale, and he stammered: "Why did you guys come in?"

At this time, a secret guard threw a sack to the ground with an expressionless expression, making a muffled "bang" sound.

Chachatu's eyes widened and he asked in a trembling voice: "What on earth is going on?" His eyes moved back and forth between the secret guard and the sack on the ground, his face full of horror and confusion.

He turned to look at the princess beside him and said, "Leave first."

The princess felt a thump in her heart and felt very unhappy. She complained secretly: "I am in a good mood, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by this group of uninvited guests."

But she didn't dare to show it on her face, because she felt frightened when she saw the ferocious looks of the secret guards, so she had to get up obediently and leave in a hurry.

Then, the secret guard looked at Chacha Tu coldly and said, "You'd better open this sack yourself."

Chacha Tu felt a thump in his heart, full of complaints.

What are these things? You have to do it yourself.

But he didn't dare to say no, so he could only do it obediently.

With trembling hands, he slowly untied the rope at the mouth of the sack. When he finally opened the sack and saw that the person inside was Rostil, he was shocked and asked quickly: "What on earth is going on?"

There was a hint of panic in his voice, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The secret guard snorted coldly and said to Luo Si Tianer: "Tell me, what did you do?"

Luo Si Tianer was in a state of disgrace at this time, with messy hair. He avoided looking at Cha Chatu, but he had to speak.

Cha Chatu sighed in his heart, could it be that Luo Si Tianer wanted to kill the Prime Minister of Zhongyuan himself?

Luo Si Tianer stammered: "Your Majesty, I... I want to kill the Prime Minister of Zhongyuan, and put an end to it, so as to save trouble in the future." After that, he secretly raised his eyes to observe Cha Chatu's face.

Cha Chatu was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted: "You idiot! Who gave you the courage to act on your own!"

Luo Si Tianer was frightened by Cha Chatu's roar and trembled. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down! I am also thinking about the face of our country."

His forehead was pressed against the ground, and his voice was full of fear and regret.

Chachatu's eyes widened, pointing at Luo Si Tian'er and cursing: "You are a fool, you do things without thinking! Now you have made a mess of things!"

The secret guard looked coldly at the side and said: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Chachatu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said: "Lock up Luo Si Tian'er first, and then make a decision after I think of a countermeasure."

Hearing this, Luo Si Tian'er collapsed to the ground in despair, muttering to himself: "It's over, it's all over now."

But this answer did not satisfy the secret guards. One of the secret guards stepped forward and said with a sharp look: "Your Majesty, just locking him up is not enough. Luo Si Tian'er must be killed to prevent future troubles!"

Chachatu was naturally shocked when he heard this, his mouth slightly opened, and his face was full of disbelief.

This is his favorite minister!

The secret guard looked serious and said firmly: "Your Majesty, you have to think clearly. If you offend the Central Plains, the Central Plains can send troops at that time. With your country's current situation of internal and external troubles, can you afford it?"

Chachatu frowned and fell into a dilemma.

He knew that the Central Plains must not be offended, especially in the current difficult situation, but did he really have to kill the favorite minister he had always trusted?

Luo Sitianer was already pale with fear and tears at this time. He quickly begged for mercy from the secret guards, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, I was just confused for a moment, please spare my life!" He kept knocking his head, and blood came out of his forehead.

Chachatu paced back and forth, struggling in his heart.

He looked at Luo Si Tian'er who was begging for mercy, and then at the determined secret guards. Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it, Luo Si Tian'er, you have made such a big mistake, I can't save you."

When Luo Si Tian'er heard this, he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, his eyes were full of despair and fear.

He crawled to Chachatu's feet, hugged Chachatu's legs tightly, and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have mercy! Forgive me this time for my loyalty to you in the past!"

Chachatu kicked Luo Si Tian'er away with a cruel kick, turned his head away, and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Seeing this, the secret guards stepped forward and grabbed Luo Si Tian'er. One of them said, "Humph, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!"

Luo Si Tian'er struggled hard, but to no avail. He could only cry miserably, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

However, his crying did not bring any turnaround. The secret guards dragged him down mercilessly.

A secret guard asked Chachatu expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, can our prime minister be released now?"

Chachatu was full of panic at the moment, how could he dare to say no, and nodded quickly, saying: "Yes, release him immediately, I will send someone to the prison now."

His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were full of flattery and fear.

The secret guard snorted coldly and said: "I hope Your Majesty will not make any mistakes this time."

Chachatu hurriedly promised: "Absolutely not, absolutely not!"

Then, the secret guard ignored Chachatu and turned away.

On the other side, the secret guards dragged Ross Tianer to a remote corner without mercy.

Luo Si Tianer's eyes widened in horror, begging: "Please, spare me, spare me..."

The secret guards were unmoved, and one of them said coldly: "You are seeking your own death, don't blame others."

After that, he raised his knife and fell, and Luo Si Tianer was dead in an instant. His eyes were still wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

Next, Chachatu didn't dare to delay at all and immediately sent people to the prison.

After a while, Xi Yu paced in his cell and thought.

On the other side, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong were in another cell. Ouyang Linlin walked back and forth anxiously, and Xiaohong was huddled in the corner and trembling with fear.

Suddenly, several soldiers hurried to the two cells respectively.

The soldiers who went to Xiyu's cell had a flattering smile on their faces and said very politely: "Prime Minister of Zhongyuan, we are here on the orders of the king. We have offended you before, and we are really wronged. The king ordered that you be taken to the palace now, and the king will host a banquet for you."

They bowed slightly, their eyes full of awe.

Xiyu stopped and looked at them with scrutiny, thinking to himself: "This king has changed quickly."

But his face remained calm, and he said coldly: "Humph, your king knows how to do things."

The soldier who went to Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong's cell also said flatteringly: "Two girls, the king asked us to let you out and take you to the palace." (End of this chapter)
