Children of Loulan

Chapter 450: Blaming the Seven Stars Pavilion

Ha Wuer still shook his head firmly, and said with a face full of suspicion: "But this suspicion is too great. If we are not careful, Grandfather Wang will probably raid Prince Xin's mansion without hesitation. You know, he has thousands of soldiers under his command! Not only does he want to kill my father, but he also wants to destroy the Seven Star Pavilion at the same time. Why doesn't he follow the example of Third Uncle and mobilize all the troops of the Seven Star Pavilion to fight? After all, the reason why the Seven Star Pavilion has become famous over the years is entirely due to their own strength. In comparison, what confidence does Second Uncle have to dare to fight against the Seven Star Pavilion and my father at the same time with only 500 soldiers of his own?"

At this time in the palace, Xilin's anger had reached its peak, her eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and Aunt Kui was kneeling in front of her, her body trembling slightly, not daring to look up at her. Suddenly, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and a teacup was thrown to the ground by Xilin and instantly shattered into pieces.

"Idiot! Idiot!" Xilin roared angrily, "Where does he get the confidence from? Five hundred people want to fight against the entire Seven Star Pavilion? Trash! Absolutely trash!" Her voice echoed in the palace, making people shudder.

Aunt Kui spoke tremblingly, her voice trembling a little: "Your Majesty, calm down. I have asked him. He thought that the Seven Star Pavilion might only send a few dozen people at most, so he wanted to mobilize a thousand people to ensure that there would be no mistakes. But he never thought that the battalion commander was so arrogant that he actually claimed that 500 people would be enough, and he even signed a military order, so..."

Before Aunt Kui could finish her words, Xilin interrupted her rudely: "So what? So he believed the battalion commander's words so easily? Doesn't he know that military orders are as heavy as a mountain? Doesn't he know that this is a matter of life and death?"

Aunt Kui took a deep breath and said again: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

After hearing this, Xilin let out a long sigh and said, "That place is no longer safe now. Let him move quickly!" There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in her voice.

Aunt Kui nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, your majesty. After the accident, he immediately took the initiative to move everyone away. That place has been burned clean by a fire, and nothing is left. But..." Aunt Kui paused here, seeming to be a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Xilin frowned slightly and asked, "Just what?"

Aunt Kui hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "It's just that those who were caught couldn't stand the punishment and confessed. Now the king already knows that they were the private soldiers raised by Toheti, so..."

Xilin's heart tightened when she heard this. She closed her eyes tightly and was silent for a moment. Then she opened her eyes and said slowly, "So the king now suspects Prince Xin?"

At the same time, in the East Palace, Hawule continued, "So I guess that the person behind the scenes originally intended to mobilize all the soldiers, but some kind of accident happened in the middle, just like the soldiers who were supposed to appear at the city gate that year, they disappeared inexplicably." His tone was full of doubts and confusion.

Keremu agreed with his analysis and couldn't help but sigh: "In this case, it is very likely that there is some kind of deep hatred between the master and the subordinate, which is why my father was saved!"

At this moment, Ha Wuer suddenly had an idea, as if he remembered something important, and hurriedly said: "Could all this be related to what happened that year?"

When Keremu heard this, he had an idea and felt that what Hawule said made sense, so he nodded in agreement and motioned for him to continue.

After receiving Keremu's encouragement, Ha Wuer sorted out his thoughts and continued, "If the enemy's general is loyal to Toheti, then when he learns that Toheti and his family failed to escape because of his failure to arrive in time, he will definitely hate the person who ordered them to change their itinerary at the last minute."

Keremu said thoughtfully: "If it is true as you said, then this is a great opportunity. We can make use of it!" A cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

Hawuer seemed a little cautious. He frowned and said, "That being said, we still can't find their whereabouts exactly. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. How easy is that!"

Keremu nodded, indicating that he agreed with Hawuer's opinion. However, at this moment, Hawuer suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Oh, father, my second brother was very worried after learning that you were assassinated. He also rushed back. But when he learned that the assassins had revealed the location of their camp, he followed General An's troops to search without hesitation. He wanted to catch the real culprit behind the scenes and avenge you, father."

Keremu sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's amazing that he has such filial piety, but he is still a little reckless!"

Ha Wuer comforted him, "I've already told him that the place might have been deserted, and even if we go there, we might not find any useful clues. But he said that even if everyone has run away, we should still go there to check, and maybe we can find some clues."

Keremu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with his son's point of view. Then he stared at Hawul and said earnestly: "Now your grandfather is getting old and his health is not as good as before, so it is inevitable that some people will covet that position. Therefore, the road ahead will probably be full of thorns and bumps."

Ha Wuer nodded solemnly and responded, "My great-grandmother taught me from a young age that the legacy left by our ancestors is as important as our lives and must be protected. However, as she said, human hearts are unpredictable, and there are always some people in this world who will covet this legacy. However, as a descendant of the royal family, it is my unshirkable responsibility to protect this legacy. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will stick to it and never back down!"

Keremu looked at his son with satisfaction, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes. Then he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, have you visited your Uncle Bo? How is the situation over there?"

Upon hearing this, Ha Wuer's face darkened slightly. He lowered his head and said slowly: "I have already checked. Uncle Bai has been buried. However, Aunt Daer's condition is not optimistic..."

At this point, his voice choked a little. "However, I have already promised Adi that when we catch the real murderer in the future, I will hand him over to him and let him handle the matter personally."

At this moment, the confessions of the assassins appeared quietly on the king's desk like ghosts. He stared at the confessions, and every word on them was like a burning flame, stinging his eyes.

"Kill the prince, destroy the Seven Stars Pavilion...put the blame on the Seven Stars Pavilion!" The king's voice was low and angry, as if it could shatter the entire palace. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood flowed down his fingers.

However, when he saw that those assassins were recruited into the military camp more than ten years ago, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him, as if he remembered something. The private soldier incident more than ten years ago was like a dusty memory that was suddenly revealed at this moment.
