Chapter 348 The mastermind behind the scenes
Chapter 348 The mastermind behind the scenes
King Dongshan: "Are all the people who are trying to kill me yours?" Judging from the strength of those killers, they should be more than just General Ma and his men. There are many masters among them.
General Ma: "I am only one of the small teams. Another group is the assassins hired by the prince's mansion, and the others seem to be assassins hired by the prince.
However, after they completed their mission, they were silenced by the prince’s men.”
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind!
They killed people and then were silenced. It's the law of cause and effect, and retribution will come!
King Dongshan frowned. Judging from the situation, the prince was so determined to kill him. Why?
He didn't remember having any conflict with the prince.
King Dongshan: "How did Your Highness know the route we were taking?" Obviously, the route they were taking was kept secret.
General Ma paused for a moment and said quickly:
“I don’t know who it is, but I know that someone in the palace will pass on the news that the prince wants to know to him through some special channels.
Before you set out, I had already received your route.
The prince drew a red circle outside the city of Ji'an and ordered us to ambush there..."
King Dongshan was breathing rapidly and his face was frosty. He had already been plotted to be "killed" before he even set out. If Xie Jiu hadn't risked his life to protect him, or if he hadn't met Wei Dong by chance, he would have immediately asked the Xinglin master to save him.
Then he might have been killed by now, buried somewhere and rotting alone.
Why?
He has never actively competed with others since he was a child, and he has tried his best just to stay alive.
I struggled on the brink of death so many times when I was a child, and finally grew up with many setbacks, only to be almost killed by someone with ulterior motives!
In the past, when he was the most angry, he would just beat up the fourth brother, because he was too stupid, and in the end he was just used as a gun by the ninth brother.
He didn't attack Lao Jiu because he didn't need to bother with a dead person.
Based on what he had done, the emperor would definitely execute him. As for whether his family would die with him or be exiled to a bitter and cold place, he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, the one who really wanted to kill him was the boss!
It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the result of careful planning and multiple preparations, all for the purpose of killing him!
why?
He could never figure out why the boss targeted him, but it didn't matter. No matter what the reason was, the boss really tried to kill him.
Then he should send him to see his father.
Let this trouble-making prince serve his selfish father. Putting these two people together will definitely be lively.
How good!
He was truly a filial son. He was afraid that his father would be lonely in the underworld, so he sent a caring son to help him cheer him up.
As for the traitor in the palace, haha!
I think the emperor and the queen would be more willing to find out than he is.
I heard that when I just disappeared, the emperor had already dealt with a group of eunuchs, even the eldest brother who had taken care of him since he was a child was not spared.
The emperor is rarely so heartless, unless he notices something!
Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with an insider.
He turned around to look at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple whose brush was almost worn out, and curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. His royal brother would know all these things.
Then, my Lord!
I hope you are lucky enough to live longer, and make sure you hold on until I, your brother, come and see you off!
The emperor has been holding the fourth prince's case, but now he can close all the cases together.
The mastermind behind all this, the great prince, has finally surfaced, and the court is about to be plunged into a bloody storm again.
The emperor's brother is obviously not a bloodthirsty king, but everyone forces him to pick up the butcher knife.
Alas! Prince Dongshan felt a little sorry for the emperor.
Well! It's definitely not gloating!
This throne that is difficult to sit on is not something that ordinary people can sit on, but those people still want to get it.
Isn’t it good to be alive?
He shook his head, unable to figure it out.
Prince Dongshan: "How many private troops does the prince have, and how many people are there in total?"
General Ma said awkwardly: "I really don't know about this. We are not in contact with each other. I just vaguely know that there should be several teams in Panlong Mountain.
Really! The great prince has strictly forbidden us to contact each other privately.
I am only responsible for my own camp, and I really don’t know what’s going on in other camps.”
King Dongshan: "So how many people are there in your team?"
General Ma lowered his head and said, "There are 2,173 people in my camp, including ten generals, two lieutenants, and 21 lieutenants."
The configuration is quite complete. Well, the prince is not short of money, so it’s no big deal to have a few more generals.
King Dongshan: "Where do the generals come from?"
General Ma: "Some are military officers who have committed crimes, some are from poor families or have encountered difficulties that they cannot overcome.
As long as you have talent and can catch the prince's eye, the prince will lend a helping hand.
Then, they will have no way to repay you, and in the end they will all volunteer to serve the prince."
Most military generals are loyal people, and if you can help them overcome difficulties, you will gain their sincerity. So are the difficulties that these people cannot overcome real difficulties?
With the rank of a prince, it seems easy for him to set up some obstacles for some military officers of low rank.
What’s pitiful is that those people were trapped to death and didn’t even know that the benefactor who pulled them ashore was the enemy who caused them to fall into the trap.
I guess after their talents were noticed, they encountered their own difficulties.
Ugh, these unlucky things are so pitiful to meet the prince.
The prince is their real obstacle.
The trial here was going very smoothly, and Shopkeeper Shang's wall repair project was also in full swing.
This group of young and energetic craftsmen were really easy to use, the project progressed at an astonishing speed, and the quality of the exterior wall was absolutely up to standard.
Shopkeeper Shang is cheerful every day, and the smile on his face never fades.
Although the drawings in his hand had been modified by his boss and had been revised again and again in the past few days, they were getting better and better, and he had no objection at all.
Look at the setting of this fortress. Let’s see who dares to take over Panlong Mountain in the future.
There is the remote protection of the fortress outside and the mechanism inside the store to protect your home.
Looking up and seeing the craftsmen working very hard, Manager Shang's eyes lit up. He wondered if these people could stay in Panlong Mountain?
Well! I'll find a chance to discuss this with my boss.
It’s such a pity to kill these people. They could just form a construction team instead!
Shopkeeper Shang does not bear grudges, even if these people were hostile to him a few days ago.
Now we can develop into a harmonious family!
Ha ha!
What's more, the boss said he wanted to plant terraced fields, so he needs people everywhere!
Building terraces is a huge project. Digging mountains to create fields is exciting just thinking about it.
Develop Panlong Mountain and make Panlong Mountain stronger!
Isn’t there ready-made labor?
He left with satisfaction.
