A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 181. Chapter 181

Because of the assassination of the crown prince, the atmosphere in the entire royal city suddenly became tense.

The number of guards patrolling the city has increased twice as much as usual, and they are watching all kinds of suspicious people. many people.

When the winter just entered, the atmosphere of the royal city was very serious.

The ordinary people in the royal city were extremely happy about this, but they couldn’t help being a little worried about the news that the crown prince was assassinated and injured.

The prestige of Prince Garland is almost at two extremes among the nobles. One part firmly supports him, and the other part regards him as a scourge, because over the years, the young prince’s behavior in sheltering civilians and over the years to King Camos The various suggestions for benefiting the people have harmed the interests of many nobles.

However, among ordinary people, the prestige of this wise prince is second only to the lion king Camos. Especially in the royal city, many people benefited from the prince. They felt happy from the bottom of their hearts that Gallan could be made the crown prince.

Perhaps the heroic prince Huimos is famous on the battlefield and is admired by countless warriors, but for ordinary people, they hope to have a wise king who loves the people.

Therefore, when the crown prince was injured, the people felt a little uneasy.

I don’t know if the Crown Prince’s injury is serious or serious, but what if…

I don’t know where the news came from, saying that Prince Gallan was seriously injured and might pass away at any time. To avoid accidents, it is best to recall Prince Huimos in the north to the city as soon as possible.

Suddenly, an aura of anxiety spread throughout the city, and the people who didn’t know the truth or falsehood of the rumors began to become anxious.

Because of these rumors, the atmosphere in the city became more tense.

“The crown prince needs to show up before the people.”

Standing in front of Garlan, who was confined to the bed, the priest of Shamash said so.

“This is too dangerous, Your Excellency Xiemuer.”

Kayjos frowned and objected.

“The actor who intended to assassinate the prince has not been found yet. Now that he has rashly appeared in the public, those guys will probably take this opportunity to make another move.”

“Can’t let the rumors continue to spread.”

Xiemuer said.

In today’s chamber, many people have already proposed the recall of Huimos to the city.

Although King Camos did not hesitate to deny this proposal and forcibly suppressed those people back, it could be seen that this was just the beginning.

An undercurrent has faintly surging in the palace.

“This may be the trick of those guys, using these rumors to force the prince to appear in front of everyone, and then take this opportunity to assassinate the prince again!”

In the face of the guardian knight who was constantly denying, Xie Muer didn’t say anything, but just turned his gaze to Garlan.

Obviously, he was letting Garlan make a decision.

Sitting on the bed, Garlan’s injured arm was hanging on one side, and the other hand was on his leg.

He groaned for a moment, then looked at Xiemur.

“You go to make arrangements, I will show up.”

“Prince–”

“Kyjos, I can’t hide in the turtle shell all the time because I’m afraid of those people, it’s too ugly.”

The young man said, his expression was calm, and he smiled faintly at his knight.

“It’s just an assassination, with a little wound, so if you are scared and scared, it will make those people even more proud.”

He said, “I’m not going to let the guys who hurt me do what they want.”

“…”

Kaihus lowered his head slightly.

“I understand, prince, I will do a good job of vigilance.”

Xiemuer nodded on the side. He was naturally satisfied with Garlan’s decision.

…………

After a few more days, all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere-even when the rumors that the crown prince was assassinated and killed on the spot were only covered by the royal family, the matter was not announced. King Camos Suddenly he gave orders to let the crown prince attend this winter festival on his behalf.

The so-called winter festival is a ceremony dedicated to the hunting god Yadimi.

In Aaron Landis, hunting is generally not allowed in spring and early summer, and hunting is encouraged in winter. When winter comes, it is the time for hunters to celebrate.

According to legend, when the hunting god Yadimi was born, Aaron Landis’s four-season warm earth fell heavily for the first time.

Therefore, Yadimi is also known as the god of winter.

The day of her birth is regarded as the beginning of Aaron Landis’ winter.

As the son of the gods, King Aaron Landis must shoot the prey in the festival on this day, and offer the prey as a sacrifice to the hunting god Yadimi, pray to him, and let the goddess protect Aaron Lan The hunters of Diss can obtain abundant prey in winter.

The festival was held in the huge hunting god temple on the side of the city.

In front of the temple, a tall stone statue of the hunting god stood on the ground.

It was a young goddess with a vigorous figure, a beautiful face, and different from other goddesses with gorgeous clothes. Her statue was wearing a sleeveless tunic skirt and hunting boots, and a crown made of cypress branches on her head.

Standing on the ground, she was brave and brave, holding snow-white bows and arrows, carrying golden arrows on her back, and the mighty hounds followed her.

Unlike other squares paved with white stone or bluestone slabs in other temples, the square of the Hunting God Temple is a vast grassland, covering a very large area, and there are many animals in it. It is more of a square than a square. A small hunting ground in the city.

If the dignitaries want to worship the hunting god, they must personally enter it to hunt, and then offer the prey to the hunting god Yadimi.

In today’s festival, Gallan, who replaced King Camos, will also enter it.

At this moment, he was riding a horse at the entrance of the hunting ground, and the snow-white steed stood quietly under him, occasionally using his front hoofs to gently scratch the ground a few times.

The weather in the city is always warm. Now it’s just early winter. Many people are still wearing short-sleeved robes, but Garlan is dressed in strong clothes. He is used to wearing light-colored clothes. He is now wearing a dark brown long-sleeved tunic on his upper body. , Even the cloak was changed to a darker one.

The periphery of the hunting ground was already crowded with people who came to watch the winter festival. Many people saw the prince on horseback standing at the entrance of the hunting ground with their own eyes, and suddenly cheered, shouted, and cheered.

“The Prince Wang is obviously very good, and I don’t know who is talking nonsense everywhere.”

“Yes, I don’t think the crown prince looks like he has been injured at all?”

“It’s probably just a small wound.”

“Ha, that’s right, King Camos loves the crown prince very much. Maybe it’s really because of a little injury.”

“Don’t quarrel, don’t quarrel, you see, the crown prince has already entered the hunting ground—”

“The hunting god Yadimi is here, please give me enough prey in the winter.”

Amidst the cheers of the people looking here from a distance, Gallan bowed slightly and galloped into the hunting ground like a sharp arrow.

The cool wind brushed his cheeks, causing the long golden hair behind him to fly in the air.

Even if it had entered winter, the sunshine in the city was still shining brightly, reflecting bright light on the cluster of blonde hair.

As the best horse in a million, the white steed runs very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it has already rushed to the location of the prey group with its owner.

By the little stream in the distance, a group of antelopes and a group of deer are drinking with their heads down.

As winter is about to enter, they are fat and strong one by one.

The hounds that came suddenly broke their leisure time. In the sound of the hounds, the panicked animals ran up, drove off the hounds, and ran in one direction.

Not far away, the white horse galloping towards them has slowed down.

The dark cloak flew high behind him, and the blond boy on the horse raised his bow to the prey who were driven by the hounds.

With an arrow shot, a gray-white antelope’s neck splashed with blood and fell.

The cheers of everyone outside suddenly increased.

At the same time, a violent tingling sensation came from his left arm, causing Gallan’s bow holding hand to tremble.

He took a deep breath, held back the pain in his left arm, and drew the arrow from the quiver behind him again, and continued to shoot with the bow.

A sharp arrow shot away in the sun.

In the sound of the hounds, the animals running in panic fell to the ground one after another.

After Garlan gritted his teeth, resisted the pain and shot all the golden arrows in the quiver, sweat was already oozing out of his forehead.

The left arm holding the bow was trembling slightly, and a dark trace like a water mark slowly spread on his sleeves, but he was wearing a dark brown long-sleeved coat, which was blocked by the cloak, which made people unable to see clearly. That little trace.

Only ten arrows can be carried in the festival, which are special golden arrows with the hunting god rune carved on the tail of the arrow.

The more prey shot to be dedicated to the hunter, the more praised by the hunter, so as to protect the people of Aaron Landis during the winter hunting.

There are only ten arrows, which also means that the hunting god warns everyone not to hunt too much.

With a long whistle, the hound stopped chasing away, and the surviving animals fled away, quickly disappearing without a trace.

The people outside the hunting ground counted the number of prey lying on the ground, counting to ten, and cheering again.

The crown prince has no arrows, and will surely gain the favor of the hunting god, so that the Aaron Landis will have a good harvest in the winter.

Soon, priests from the Hunting God Temple came over, lifted the prey, and sent it to the statue in the Temple.

After worshipping the gods for one night, they will cook the prey as a grace given by the hunting god for the people to eat.

Gallan was finally able to leave the field. Amidst the cheers and shouts of the people outside the hunting ground, Gallan waved to them, and then the horse left the hunting ground.

The guardian knight, who was also riding at the entrance of the hunting ground, greeted him with a straight horse, and fell on the water stain marks on the dark clothes on Garlan’s left arm, his eyes were dazzling.

Noting his gaze, Garlan lifted his hand on the cloak and concealed his left shoulder under the cloak.

Garlan rode all the way to the direction of the temple. Under the sun, he smiled brightly and behaved calmly.

Sweat oozes from his forehead, and almost all the blond hair on his temples is wetted against his cheeks. In the eyes of others, it should be the sweat from the vigorous activity during hunting just now.

Only the blond knight, who was staring at the wet hairline, clenched the rein’s fingers and squeezed it a little bit harder.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices by the priests will continue for a long time, and the crown prince can go to the room inside the temple to rest for a while.

Garlan took Kehos into the house, and the guards guarded the outside of the room.

As soon as he entered the room, the seemingly relaxed smile on the boy’s face disappeared instantly.

He stood on the spot, holding his left shoulder with his right hand, closing his eyes and pursing his lips, with an expression of pain on his face.

Kaihus stepped forward quickly and pulled off Garlan’s cloak.

The dark brown piece of Garlan’s left arm near his shoulder had been dyed red, and the blood was still spreading.

Kaihus gritted his teeth.

In the final analysis, the Winter Sacrifice is just a ritual and not very demanding, so shooting the domesticated prey in the hunting ground is actually very simple.

The difficulty is to shoot ten arrows in a very short time.

Anyone who knows how to archery knows that continuous shooting is extremely physical. Generally speaking, when an ordinary person shoots the fifth and sixth arrows, the muscles in his arm will be sore. When the seven or eight arrows are reached, it is difficult to lift the arms.

The more you get to the back, the more you have to rely on perseverance.

As for the partial life, Garlan was injured in his arm.

Kaihus quickly changed Garlan’s dressing and re-dressed the wound.

With the prince’s injury, I am afraid that the injury on his arm split when he was halfway through the shot.

Almost all of the bandages were soaked in blood red, which was shocking to see.

Putting away the blood-stained things, Kaihus looked at Garlan.

The young prince was sitting on the chair, his shirt only worn on the right half, leaving his left shoulder exposed, and the white bandage that had just been bandaged had a trace of blood oozing out.

The young man raised his head, leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes as if he was calming.

With his mouth slightly open, his breathing was a little short.

The slender eyelashes moved slightly, obviously enduring the pain.

Kaihus’ eyes fell.

He thought that what King Camos mentioned to him a few days ago was to promote him to a cavalry commander and command a legion. He must be prepared.

Military power is an indispensable part of controlling power.

The prince must have his own military power.

……………………

Large swaths of snowflakes floated down from the gloomy sky and landed on the snow-white ground.

That is the endless frozen land.

The majestic huge stone fort stood on the frozen ground for thousands of miles, becoming the only dark color in this dazzling snow white.

The cold wind was blowing violently, passing through the window of the stone castle, and rushing into the castle.

Deep in the castle, in a spacious room, the four walls are made of black stone, and there are almost no ornaments, not even tapestries.

Rows of gleaming swords hung on the stone wall, giving people a feeling of coldness.

The flames in the huge fireplace on one wall were burning, and the crimson fire light was reflected on the blades, and also on the cheeks of the few people in the room.

The silver hair was dyed with a flash of light, and Danfeng’s slightly slender eyes drooped slightly.

The faintly glowing silver hair was scattered on the slightly rising and sharper corners of the eyes, and the young man with the complexion of snow stood in front of the fireplace.

The other two knelt in front of him on one knee, bowing their heads deeply.

“His Royal Highness, there is a message from the city of Aaron Landis.”

The thick, light-colored eyelashes were raised, and the young man looked at his subordinate who was kneeling in front of him.

“Following your instructions, our people lurking there have successfully provoked a fight between the two princes of Aaron Landis.”

The kneeling man reported.

“Prince Huimos has been driven out of the royal city.”

“The thing that instigated those Aaron Landis people to assassinate Prince Gallan also moved smoothly.”

“The crown prince is already sick in bed, and our people are still encouraging those people to continue to assassinate the crown prince.”

After one person finished speaking, the other continued.

“That crown prince disrupted your deployment several times, especially the one in Tozes City…”

The man’s face showed regret.

Their people have been lurking in that city for several years. If the prince’s secret deployment in Tozes City is successful, the fall of Tozes City, an important maritime port, in the hands of pirates will not only weaken Aaron Landis. The country’s national strength caused panic, and it could also greatly impact Aaron Landis’s reputation on the mainland.

The silver-haired young man in a thick edellow cloak stood in front of the fireplace, and the edge of his pupils like a lavender gem placed in the ice and snow reflected a little reddish fire.

The thin lips, the tone is like flames, but they give people an extremely ruthless feeling.

“Prince Garlan…”

He repeated the name in a low voice in a cold tone.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the wall on one side.

A huge map hung on the stone wall.

The handsome face of the young man was cold, as if there was no emotion.

But in his eyes as he stared at the map, the flame named ambition burned deep in his pupils, as if it could swallow everything he saw.

“The Kanal country will be available soon.”

He said,

“The next one is Aaron Landis.”
