Chapter 196 Ambush and Killing the Suspect
Chapter 196 Ambush and Killing the Suspect
Soon, it was time for dinner.
It should be said that although the flood in Mobei is extremely serious, the banquet for the royal family is very luxurious. In addition to sheep, there are sheep, and finally sheep...
Ah...no.
There were still some fruits and vegetables in front of Anton Jun. Although not many, it was obvious that Abaoji and Shuliduo had really put in a lot of effort.
This dinner could actually be a family dinner. There were no other guests present except Anton Jun and the surrendered ministers. The rest were Abaoji's own family members.
In fact, there are a few faces that Anton Jun is familiar with. The one sitting on Abaoji’s right hand side is naturally Shulido.
On the right side of the stage sat five men and a girl, two of whom Anton had seen in anime, namely Yelu Yaoguang and Yelu Zhiwu.
Abaoji had already introduced the other four people at the beginning of the dinner.
Among them were three of Abaoji's other sons, namely Yelu Bei, Yelu Lihu and Yelu Yaliguo. The latter two were still young, probably around 10 years old.
What Anton Jun didn't expect was that there was a man named Yelu Bolide, who was the son of Yelu Lage.
That’s right, it was the one who attempted to usurp power from Abaoji, the one who caused the “Rebellion of the Brothers”, Abaoji’s younger brother - Yelu Lagu.
It was already strange that Abaoji did not kill Bolide. Now that Bolide is attending the family dinner, there is another strange point, and his position is between Zhiwu and Li Hu.
You know, the order of positions represents a person's status. Yelu Bei is the eldest son, Yao Guang helped Abaoji unify Mobei, and Zhiwu is the inheritor of the great shaman.
But after Boli found a criminal, he turned out to be second only to these three people. It seems that the royal court of Mobei is not as simple as it seems.
A Baoji raised his wine bowl high, came to Anton Jun and began to formally introduce him:
"Everyone, this is Mr. Anton whom I have been talking about to you all. Brother An, the first time I met him was..."
When Abaoji introduced him, Anton Jun would respond with a smile from time to time.
Just when Abaoji was talking about the Tianshan incident, Anton Jun suddenly felt three hidden auras locking onto him.
Hmm? Some people are just simply looking at me, but some people... Is this hostility?
Interesting! It seems that the guy who sent people to ambush and assassinate me before is very likely among these people.
"Zhiwu, didn't you always want to see Brother An to ask him something?"
At this moment, Abaoji suddenly called Zhiwu over and asked her to stand in front of Anton Jun.
"profound...."
An Dongjun was about to say hello to her, but Yelu Zhiwu interrupted him and said with a warlike look on his face:
“Brother An, I heard from Ye Ye that you are the most powerful warrior in Central Plains, so I have always admired you.
I have always had a wish in my heart, which is to learn from you, is that possible? "
Anton Jun's smile froze on his face again. At this time, he already knew everything. It seemed that Yelu Zhiwu was one of the reasons why Abaoji asked him to come to Mobei.
In fact, Anton Jun was not surprised that Yelu Zhiwu wanted to compete with him.
After all, he knew Yelu Zhiwu's reputation from the anime. He knew that she was innocent and simple-minded, and was just a battle-crazy person who loved to compete with warriors.
So the aura just now was her, and it was definitely not her who ordered the soldiers to assassinate him.
Back to the sparring, Anton Jun knew very well that Yelu Zhiwu was Abaoji's daughter after all. If he accidentally hurt her during the sparring, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
But it is not appropriate to let yourself go. People at this stage can easily tell whether the other party has tried their best.
Given Yelu Zhiwu's personality, if he let go, who knows what kind of trouble he would get into.
Thinking of this, Anton couldn't help but hesitate.
However, looking at Yelu Zhiwu's expectant eyes, Anton Jun knew that if he refused the competition, he probably would not let Yelu Zhiwu give up.
So, after some thought, Anton Jun came up with an idea that might make Zhiwu give up the competition.
So he immediately nodded and agreed to Yelu Zhiwu's request.
"Of course. Only by competing with others can you know your own shortcomings. I am looking forward to that day."
"we have a deal!"
At this moment, Anton Jun suddenly had an evil idea in his mind. If they were to have a martial arts competition, it would be very interesting if he stood up Yelu Zhiwu, right?
......
After the dinner, Anton Jun and the surrendered minister returned to the residence arranged for them by Abaoji.
"Why did you suddenly agree to the little girl's wish today? From what I understand, you are not someone who is willing to suffer losses."
Hearing this, Anton Jun's expression froze and he narrowed his eyes to sense his surroundings. Only after he confirmed that there were no Mobei soldiers nearby did he let down his guard.
It seems that Abaoji believes in himself very much.
“Let’s not talk about whether Yelu Zhi will give up if I don’t agree to the dance. As far as my original intention of coming to Mobei is concerned, I have to stay in Mobei for a while.
Furthermore, at the dinner today, I felt three energies locking onto me.
Among the other two people besides Zhiwu, one of them showed hostility.
Maybe I can use this opportunity to find out who is behind those who ambushed us today."
"Ahahahahaha... I didn't expect that you really have enemies in Mobei?"
The surrendered minister was extremely shocked. She had never expected that a joke she had made would come true. She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"..."
Seeing An Dongjun pretending to be dumb again, Jiang Chen was almost gritting his teeth, but he still suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile:
"So do you have any suspects?"
"There are two people, Queen Shuliduo and Yelu Lage's son, Bolide." Anton Jun replied expressionlessly.
"Oh? Tell me more." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue.
“Queen Shuliduo is a very scheming person, good at forbearance, and knows how to hide her true intentions.
However, the desire for power in her eyes could not be concealed.
She might be worried that my arrival would disrupt the existing power structure in Mobei, so she chose to eliminate me as a potential threat."
Anton analyzed calmly.
Then, he changed the subject and mentioned another suspect:
"As for Bolid, his reasons are relatively simple.
He is the son of Yelu Lagu, and Yelu Lagu had failed to capture Abaoji in the Central Plains, and my junior brother’s help was indispensable.
It's not impossible that he harbors resentment and blames me for that."
While Anton-kun was explaining, Jiang Chen seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact her mind had already flown away.
When she heard what he just said, her brain seemed to be struck by lightning and she instantly became excited.
This strong desire for unknown knowledge made the surrendered minister immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.
Interesting, his ability to sense the surroundings is really interesting. I really want to study what it is.
