Chapter 2186: Changes in Xiluo
Menban scratched his head, "About seven days ago, news came from the east that the king of Xiluo died suddenly."
He Lingchuan frowned: "At such a young age, he died suddenly?"
"The concubine put a sleeping pill in his soup and then strangled him to death."
He Lingchuan paused: "Do you know why she committed the crime?"
How could a king die in such a miserable way?
"After being caught by the palace guards, the concubine laughed wildly and died with blood gushing out of all her orifices. The palace guards didn't even have time to interrogate her." Menban shook his head. "This incident has become a joke here."
"It's really not good."
King Xiluo, who was killed by his favorite concubine, was originally suspected of patricide. Later he became a puppet of Beiga, jumping up and down and causing trouble to Panlong City.
Xiluo was weak. If it were any other country, Panlong City would have easily destroyed it. But Panlong City had a deep connection with Xiluo, and the people of Panlong City still had feelings for their homeland, so Zhong Shengguang did not let General Hong send troops.
Bega also noticed this and manipulated Xi Luo to cause trouble.
Things like status and reputation seem to be light and insignificant, but that is because they are not measured with human heart. For example, no matter how bad a bastard I am, how many sons dare to beat me up and kill me?
(Don’t ask me why I can’t type the word “王” anymore. There are so many banned words blocked in Dian Niang’s article that you can’t imagine, and the random inspection mechanism often goes crazy)
But in the past few years, there has been constant unrest in Xiluo, and the monarch is unable to control it, let alone the energy to harass the Panlong territory.
However, his way of death is indeed a bit novel. The history of Xiluo Kingdom that He Lingchuan collected in reality does not seem to include this?
The current Panlong world has taken a new path that is fundamentally different from real history and is rushing towards an unknown future.
It has less and less connection with what he knows in reality.
The door panel continued, "On the day we received the news, a general asked Commander Zhong to fight, hoping to lead the troops eastward. But Commander Zhong did not agree."
"Of course." Zhong Shengguang was calm and composed. He would not act rashly when the situation was unclear. "Where's General Hong?"
"On an outbound mission, not back yet."
Compared to a few years ago, General Hong now frequently goes into seclusion or is assigned tasks, and has less time to send troops out.
But she is still the most important existence in Panlong City.
Inside the weapons hall, everyone sat down together.
The area of the Battle Hall in Shiquan City is twice as large as that in Panlong City, and there are two annexes on the side for holding small meetings.
Panlong City today has a strong army and many brave generals, but General Huyi's reputation is still very famous, second only to General Hong.
When He Lingchuan came in, everyone greeted him and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
What everyone was talking about most was, as expected, the changes in the Western Luo Kingdom.
Soon, Zhong Shengguang walked in and the generals saluted.
Zhong Shengguang nodded and ordered everyone to sit down. His eyes then fell on He Lingchuan:
"How are things going since you came back?"
"It has been done." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "King Namgyeong personally exiled his eldest son to suppress the rebellion."
"Great!" Zhong Shengguang stroked his beard, "Can you find out who is behind this?"
"Bejia."
In the past few years, Panlong City has successfully opened up a second sea route and found a second outlet to the sea besides Baisha Bay, which is located further south.
This also injects more vitality into the economy of Panlong Territory.
However, this sea route passes through many countries and forces along the way, and is not as simple as taking the route through the Mao River Plain.
At this time, Beijia focused its energy on the war in the east, striving to eliminate the forces under Lingshan, and temporarily relaxed its military oppression on Panlong City in the west. But it always had one eye on Panlong City, not happy to see its rapid development. Although it did not directly send troops, it always stirred up trouble on the Second Sea Route and secretly caused some damage.
Namkyung was one of the first southern countries to sign a friendly and beneficial exchange agreement with Panlong City. It was also a must-pass place on the second sea route. It had a vast lake that was difficult for caravans to bypass.
Panlong City recently received top-secret information that the Crown Prince of Namkyung was plotting to assassinate his emperor!
This guy is very close to Beijia. Once he succeeds, Nanliang Kingdom's attitude towards Panlong City may change 180 degrees, so Zhong Shengguang handed this trouble to He Lingchuan to solve.
He Lingchuan dispatched a small team to enter Namgyelung to find out the whole story, and then informed the king of Namgyelung. The prince was arrested on the spot, and all those involved were killed. He himself was exiled and could not return to his country until his death.
Commander Zhao Xianhe said with a smile: "Bejia's conspiracy has failed, I'm afraid he will be furious again."
Everyone also laughed.
The killer was hired by the Bejia people for Crown Prince Namkyung. Unfortunately, the middleman was a foreign businessman who was not tight-lipped. So the top-secret plan to assassinate the king was heard by Zhong Shengguang.
The fact that Panlong City successfully thwarted Beijia's conspiracy this time shows that it has taken the initiative to expand its influence and actively participated in surrounding affairs, and is no longer passively defensive as before.
This change in external attitude means that Panlong City has become more confident and calm because of its own strength.
He Lingchuan knew that this attitude would definitely lead to more dissatisfaction.
Several generals were absent from the meeting because they had gone out on an expedition more than half a month ago to teach a lesson to the ungrateful small country on the Second Sea Route.
Zhong Shengguang adopted He Lingchuan's suggestion and the main strategy for the second sea route was to use a big stick in one hand and sugar in the other, otherwise some small countries would be ignorant of fear and would jump high and shout happily.
Next, the generals reported the border situation in all directions, and everything was calm.
I heard that Panlong City has been going smoothly recently, but Zhong Shengguang didn't smile much. Even though all the reports today were good news, his brows didn't relax.
This was in stark contrast to everyone's excitement, so He Lingchuan knew that Commander Zhong must have something on his mind.
After completing this routine of reporting the border situation, Zhong Shengguang got to the point:
"You have heard what the main discussion today was about, which was the destruction of the Xiluo Kingdom."
"Seven days ago, the king of Xiluo was killed by his favorite concubine. His two princes were seven and four years old, both still very young." He put a pile of documents on the table: "Just two days later, these two children also died unexpectedly."
Everyone raised their eyebrows, and the expressions on their faces were either "As expected" or "Not unexpected".
The fate of these two children was determined when the king of Xiluo died.
When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The civil strife in Xiluo has further erupted. Now there are four forces that have declared themselves kings at the same time, all wanting to capture the capital. The garrison commander of Xiluo's capital fled with his followers. Now the entire capital is in chaos, with robbery and theft rampant and no one managing it."
It's only been a few days? There's more trouble to come.
Menban interrupted: "How did Bega react?"
The puppet that he controlled died, Bega wouldn't just stand there and do nothing, right?
