Chapter 22 Conspiracy

"What, is this information true? Why didn't you report to me earlier?" It was Commander Becas who spoke angrily.

The subordinates reported: "We have returned to report in batches, but the other party's mount speed is too fast, and there is a lag in the update of information. When we find that the other party is not going to the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Knights, during the period of reporting, the other party has gone to the mountain border west of the Wangdu. , escaped from the secret channel.

"Why is there this secret road outside the royal capital? How could your investigation omit such important information?" Bekas was very angry about missing this opportunity.

"This... These secret paths were actually dug up by many senior officials and merchants for smuggling goods. Although we have all registered and filed for this, the secret paths that the target escaped this time are not within the scope of our registration. They seem to have been abandoned or closed a long time ago. This is the loss of their subordinates. Mistake, I hope you can atone for your sins. The subordinates are constantly beviting for this.

In fact, Bekas also knows that there are many such private paths on the outskirts of King Athos, because he himself is also involved in the distribution of interests. As the leading black dragon secret force in the kingdom to collect intelligence, those senior officials and merchants want to take these smuggled goods safely. Naturally, it is necessary to give Bekas some benefits, so that their smuggling will be erased like a stone sinking into the sea and not spread to other places. Therefore, Bekas has always been open-minded about these private walks.

These private roads have given Becas a lot of benefits, but today he has tasted the consequences, and Bekas is extremely angry about it. Although these private roads are open secrets, they are not known by ordinary people. After all, the more people know, it is also a disadvantage for those who smuggle.

Bekas never thought that serious people like Elvin knew that there would be these private paths and successfully found one of them to escape.

"Damn it, he ran away. Now it's not easy to catch him again. I wanted to... Damn it, it's so disgusting!" Bekas, who was angry, kicked the door of his office fiercely.

Bekas' original plan was to let Evan escape to his brother Ain to hide, and then come to ask for someone. If it goes well, he can also arrest Ain with the crime of covering up and kill two birds with one stone.

As one of the deputy commanders of the Blue Dragon Knights, Ain is in an important position in the kingdom army, about the same age as Bekas. They are also representatives of the new generation in the kingdom army, so they have always been compared.

Although Becas is higher than Ain, Ain is known as a once-in-century genius in the kingdom. He is proficient in martial arts. He is the right hand of Kulos. He has made countless achievements and brilliant achievements. His reputation in the kingdom can be said to be second only to his father, which is beyond Bekas. As the son of Kulos, Ain will be absolutely loyal to his father, so he has always been another barrier for Becas to climb up, and the degree of resentment is no lower than that of Kulos.

If you can take this opportunity to bring down Ain, then you can be a big step away from chasing the peak of power, and you can even take the opportunity to suppress Culus standing on your head. Although Ruyi's calculation was good, it was a pity that he was seen through by others and successfully escaped from the royal capital. Beckas is now empty, and now he has to vent his emotions in the room.

"It seems that things are not going well that can make us so calm Becas Legion so angry." There was the same sound as Bekas' usual in the room.

Bekas habitually immediately regained his composure, alerted, and looked for a man sitting on his office chair, but because the chair was facing him, he could not see the other person's appearance clearly.

Becas's first reaction directly threatened, "Who are you? How dare you make trouble in my room?"

I saw a figure standing behind Bekas' office chair, and this person was Xingzheng.

Xing Zheng responded calmly, "Ha ha, it's me. It's my fault to ask the commander of the Legion to calm down. I took a rest in your chair when you were away and tired. I believe you won't care about it.

Return to anger, but of course, Becas, who is extremely deep in the city, will not show it. Becas said to Xingzheng, "Don't pay attention to this matter anymore. The most troublesome thing now is that the boy has fled from the king's capital. Now we can't catch him for a while. Tomorrow we have nothing to restore His Majesty the Emperor."

Xing didn't seem to be too surprised when he heard it, as if he had known it earlier, and did not answer Bekas.

Bekas also saw it, so he asked tentatively, "Looking at your calm and leisurely appearance, you don't seem to be surprised by this matter. Have you already known it?"

Xing Zheng said with a smile, "Ha, I'm just the same as the leader of the legion. It seems that when your subordinates came here to report the information, they were exhausted and mistakenly thought that I was the leader of the legion, so I said everything."

Bekas remembered that his voice just now turned out to come from Yu Xingzheng. It seems that this person's ability is more than one thing, and this is not accidental. It is completely done by Xingzheng on purpose.

Xing continued to say slowly, "Legion leader, since everyone has run away, it's useless to be angry. If there is a solution, there is a proposal.

Bekas was very interested in this, so he hurriedly said, "Come on, now you and I are in the same boat."

Xing Zheng said directly, "We will report everything to your majesty tomorrow."

"Don't joke. My previous actions were to mobilize the army in the name of His Majesty. If people are caught, it doesn't matter. Now not only have people run away, but things have also been made a big deal, as well as set fire to Kulos's mansion. Once he is known by Kulos, even His Majesty knows it. Then we don't expect to walk out of the Star Emperor Hall safely tomorrow. Bekas was guilty and rejected Xing Zheng's proposal.

Xing Zheng laughed and said, "Ha ha, you will definitely be able to solve this small thing like arson. As for not being able to catch people. As you said, the leader of the legion, it's getting big... But I don't think it's big enough.

Bekas deserves to be a smart man, and he can tell at all: "Do you mean... want to pull Kulos into the water? However, we have neither anyone nor anything at hand now. Do you want to blame each other by relying on our words? There is no evidence. At that time, Kulos will bite back, and we will be very unfavorable.

Xing Zheng continued to smile and said, "Ha ha, of course, our two mouths alone can't be so powerful, and we can make the black words white, but if the other party admits it, what will be the result? I believe that you will naturally deal with the next situation."

Bekas wondered, "What do you mean?"

"Ha ha, in fact, many of your powerful subordinates have come to report a lot of information before, and I also found some interesting information, and I was also curious for a moment to let your subordinates continue to investigate, and the result was a good return." Xing Zheng took out a report sheet and said.

It seems that Xing Zheng not only pretended to be himself to get information, but also pretended to pass on the imperial edict, but these "little things" will be slowly investigated in the future. Naturally, Beckas's top priority is to see what "reward" can come out of Xingzheng's mouth.

Xing Zheng explained: "Before, you ordered your subordinates to monitor the search team belonging to the Qinglong Knights, which was responsible for searching the area near the artifact at that time. Your subordinates also seriously carried out your order, and the efficiency was really good. They suddenly reported a lot of information, among which There is a very important information, that is, someone saw that Elvin secretly hid the artifact that night.

Bekas understood: "Oh, there is such a thing... So, then, then we can bite the other party's plot and embezzle the artifact... No, it should have been premeditated with the people of the Star Temple for a long time, and we can respond inside and outside... Yes, so that we can have one more mouth to help us talk, and And this is still from Kulos's side. But the question is whether the other party will shield Evan and refuse to say it when he is against him? After all, the other party is the second son of Kulos. If he is forced to confess, or if he is bitten back and said that it is our instigation, it will be unfavorable to us. Now the top leader of the other party here is that Ain, and he will not be as brainless as his old man Kulos.

Xing was holding another report and said, "Ha ha, the leader of the legion, you are right. Now although Ain is the highest leader of the Green Dragon Knights, it will no longer be tomorrow, because of the 'unfortunate' fire in the Kulos mansion, this news has been sent to Kulos by him. I believe it will be received. When we get to this news, Kulos will definitely rush back to Wangdu overnight. I believe we will arrive tomorrow morning. At that time, we don't need to arrange anything and let the other party testify for us, hehe.

Bekas also laughed and said, "This is really a good proposal. Yes, the bigger the situation, the better, hahaha."

The laughter of the two treacherous heroes echoed throughout the barracks of the Canglong Flying Cavalry. As Xing Zheng said, after receiving Ain's letter from home, Kulos is now rushing back to the capital of Athos. He doesn't know that his return has brought a greater misfortune.

......

The time advanced to the next afternoon, in the council hall of the Star Emperor's Hall. A golden wine glass full of various gems was heavily dropped on the hall, and the crisp sound of its impact on the marble floor resounded throughout the hall. It was naturally Emperor Hiloken himself, who had the highest power, who could do this here. From this, it can be seen that Emperor Hiloken is in extreme anger.

Emperor Hiloken shouted loudly: "Bow! What a useless! You made a promise yesterday, but now you come to see the emperor empty-handed. Are you teasing me?"

Of course, it was Bekas and Xingzheng who were scolded so much by Emperor Hiroken under the throne. The two did not immediately make a "justification", but waited for Emperor Hilocan's anger to ease from the highest point, because the experienced two knew that if the other party was angry, the effect of their explanation would be discounted.

Bekas waited for the opportunity for Emperor Hiloken to reduce his anger and told the reason to Emperor Hiloken: "I know that I am not good at my Majesty's trust, and I am now here to accept your majesty's punishment. But before that, I hope your majesty can explain the reason for the matter.

"Ty!" Emperor Hiloken is impatient.

Bekas really said honestly, "Actually, I'm not deceiving your majesty, but the artifact is not in my hands, so it can't be given to your majesty."

"say! Now the artifact has fallen into someone's hands. Emperor Hiloken's tone became heavier.

Bekas reported: "Try to inform your Majesty that I have received information that the artifact was found by the fourth detachment of the Blue Dragon Knights, the commander of the Kulos Legion, and is now with the commander of the Kuros Legion."

Emperor Hiloken did not hesitate and ordered directly: "Come on, summon the commander of the Kulos army to meet me."
