Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 639

“This…this is too…”

Stockton was still speechless after listening to Yuzan’s explanation, but at this time, Charles suddenly asked in confusion:

“His Majesty, your analysis is correct, but your subordinates don’t understand. Master Ornest is obviously very happy to cooperate with you, why would he?”

“Huh, that old fox! He is shrewd. Since I dealt with him, I have clearly known that he is a guy who has never been willing to lose money, and he will never do anything without profit. Didn’t my good father give birth to me again in 1970? That’s the biggest reason. That old fox became my little brother’s teacher. This is the same as my stupid brothers Carl and Douglas. The relationship between Joey is the same. The fellow Ornest wants to maximize the benefits. I can give it to him, and my little brother can also give it to him in the future.

And he also knows clearly that I can’t and cannot give it to him. My little emperor can give it to him, saying a thousand words and ten thousand, his ambition is inflated! ”

Hearing Charles’ question, Yuzan’s anger that had gradually calmed down suddenly burned again.

In fact, the reason why Yuzan was so gaffe was that this time Ornest’s “betrayal” incident reminded him of some bad memories. When he was in the Ninja Continent, it was also because of the betrayal of the people around him that even caused him. It almost fell short at the beginning.

“Tuk…Tuk…”

“His Royal Highness, the emperor has an urgent letter, and the person who delivered the letter has already taken it outside the hotel, and the lord of Calais has been kneeling outside the hotel since being brought back by General Stockton just now, waiting for your Highness’s dispatch. Please make your decision. !”

Just as Yuzan and Stockton and others were discussing the whole story of this assassination and what to do next, suddenly the voice of a soldier rang outside the door…

…

The imperial capital, the imperial palace, the bedroom of His Majesty Emperor Anthony.

When such a quiet night came, His Majesty Anthony should have fallen asleep, or was lucky enough to be his concubine in the palace of other concubines. This has been His Majesty Anthony’s usual work and rest time over the years, especially after the death of Queen Vivienne. after that.

However, today the emperor’s bedroom looks so unusual.

In the huge bedroom, not only was the lights brightly lit at this time, even His Majesty Anthony sat on the chair without even fading his clothes at this moment, not angry, and his opposite, known as the strongest of the empire, General Albert with him. Sitting opposite, beside General Albert is sitting the Deputy Secretary of State of the Empire, Ornest.

At this moment, there is no palace attendant or court ceremonial officer in the entire palace, but it is more and more unusual.

“Ornest, do you think those people can succeed?”

After a long silence, Emperor Anthony finally broke the silence first.

“Uh, Your Majesty, please stay calm and not restless. In fact, your subordinates can’t guarantee this, but according to the information that… they brought back, it should be possible to succeed!”

After listening to Anthony’s question, Ornest left a trace of cold sweat on his forehead for no reason, and then wiped it without a trace, and replied with some guilty conscience.

“Huh? What do you mean? Is it possible that those guys in the Empire’s intelligence agency are all rubbish? They can’t handle even such a small matter!”

His Majesty Anthony was obviously dissatisfied with Ornest’s “perfunctory” answer, and said angrily.

“This, your majesty, the minister is actually not sure. After all, the information he brought back was not complete, so we actually don’t know if he has any other cards. After all, according to the information, he just went to the north. In a year’s time, the entire northern force can be fully integrated, especially the Northern Army. This minister is really unsure!”

Although knowing that Anthony was not satisfied with his answer, Ornest had to bite the bullet and replied.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Huh! Don’t mention that rebellious son in front of me! I really can’t think of it! I really gave birth to a good son. When I was in the imperial capital, I was blindly low-key. I couldn’t think of him actually playing this abacus. How long will he be able to complete? He controls the entire north! Then will he come back this time to completely control the entire empire! This damn rebellious son, I really regret that he didn’t choke him to death when he was born!”

However, hearing Ornest mention “him”, Anthony suddenly became furious.

This question and answer between Anthony and Ornest seemed inexplicable to others, and it seemed that another “him” was involved in the conversation between the two, but the three of them obviously knew that ” “Who is he”, but O’Nest knows the anger in Anthony’s heart at this time, so he doesn’t mention it, and Anthony doesn’t want to mention it. As for Albert, he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not participate in the two of them. Dialogue, after all, he has absolute confidence in himself, even if the situation is out of control by then, then he can be suppressed by his own strength, and he is only loyal to Emperor Anthony.

But if Yuzan is here at this time, then he will have encountered the assassin assassination and everything will be understood.

It turned out that the source of this incident was the waiter who went to the north to deliver the decree.

The guy who preached the decree originally thought it was a beautiful job. After all, he went to convey to the unfavored prince that he could return to the imperial capital. Why should the other party thank himself, but in fact, he even had Yuzan’s face. I haven’t seen it.

However, the guy who preached the decree was not really useless in the north. Although he received a lot of “unjust” treatment in the north, he had also seen a lot of flattery in the palace, so he was at the beginning. However, he secretly kept an eye on him, in order to be able to discover some “criminal evidence” of Yuzan in the north, so as to achieve the goal of revenge against the other party “not waiting to see” himself.

In fact, it did make him secretly discover some unusual things. For example, the entire North seemed to him to be a monolithic piece, such as some actions of the Northern Army and some local decrees, such as…

Therefore, after returning, he immediately informed Emperor Anthony of what he had seen and heard secretly. Although there were a lot of ingredients in it, there were indeed a lot of things he had wronged, such as the northern ones. The actual controller is Yuzan, such as Yuzan’s ambition, such as…

This report immediately made the suspicious and sick Anthony furious, but he still didn’t believe the housekeeper’s words, but prevented this guy from chewing his tongue, so he secretly controlled him, and secretly sent someone to the north to investigate. .

However, the information returned by the personnel he sent to investigate in the north surprised him. Although it was different from the intelligence of the housekeeper, the content displayed in it was even more shocking to him.

As for Anthony, who wants to control everything in his own hands, he doesn’t like anything beyond his control, especially when it comes to reaching the throne. You must know that in order to prevent his other two sons from growing up, he specially The support of Carl against him, let the three of them fight with each other, is to hope that the three of them will focus on fighting with the other two, so as not to threaten their throne.

But now, Yuzan’s approach has greatly touched his sensitive nerves. For Yuzan, even if the object is his own son, he will destroy the unstable factor. That’s why Yuzan was assassinated. event.

And Ornest was actually very helpless, but he was forced in by Emperor Anthony.

After all, it was precisely because of his proposal that Yuzan went to the north, so for Anthony, who was extremely suspicious, he also had reason to doubt his original confidant.

But although this matter was indeed negotiated between Yuzan and Ornest, the details were only known to Ornest and Yuzan. Outsiders only knew Ornest. It was because he wanted to retaliate against Yuzan when he beat his son. After all, Ornest had a bad reputation, and he must repay him.

It was precisely because of this excuse at the beginning that Anthony believed that Ornest was also unintentional at the beginning.

But even though Ornest felt very helpless in his heart, he had to bite the bullet and accompany Anthony to arrange this assassination trick, but what he didn’t explain was.

In fact, deep in his heart, he also agrees with Anthony’s approach.

As Yuzan said, he was swollen because of his ambition.

He is an old fox. Since he dealt with Yuzan, he and Yuzan have clearly understood each other’s character. He would never do anything without interest, and because of Anthony, he started to play his balance a while ago. Power, let Ornest be the teacher of the little prince Odysseus, this is the biggest reason, he became the teacher of the little prince Odysseus, which is the same as the relationship between the fourth prince Carl and Douglas and Joey , Ornest’s ambitions gradually surfaced.

He clearly knows that Yuzan is a person who is impossible to be controlled by him, and Yuzan cannot and cannot give it to him, but the little prince Odysseus can give him, how about supporting an age who is already old, and itself It is also the kind of extremely powerful prince superior or supporting a minor and relying on his own prince superior for everything, the benefits that can be obtained between the two are personally imaginable.

But even though Ornest began to have ambitions and his own plans in his heart, he did not show it. From outsiders, he was still Emperor Anthony’s confidant, and from his own cronies, he was still Yuzan’s. The collaborator did not know that his heart also began to have his own plan.

On the one hand, he performed very well in front of Emperor Anthony, doing everything himself, making suggestions and doing all kinds of “dirty work” for Anthony, but in secret.

He clearly knew Yuzan’s power. Although he didn’t know how Yuzan completely controlled the entire north in just a few years, it was officially this unknown that made him, who had always been cautious, not in a hurry for Emperor Anthony. Betting with Yuzan, he needs to wait until the situation is clear before betting, and he can even profit from it.

And this is where he is clever, so he will only after the assassination of Yuzan happened this time, after he had just dispatched the elite of the imperial intelligence agency the moment before, he arranged for his cronies to go to Calais the next moment. City, and brought his letter.

Because he clearly knew that, regardless of whether the killers trained by the Imperial Intelligence Agency were successful or not, no one would ask anything from them even if they were unsuccessful, and even if they could ask anything, they just knew them. The identity of the imperial intelligence agency. Although Yuzan might have guessed the role he might play in this matter, he originally cooperated with Yuzan and was not a subordinate, and he also knew that if Yuzan wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, it would be too far away. He didn’t open him, and he sent someone to deliver the letter just to give Yuzan a step, so that the other party could know his “helplessness”.

“Well, in fact, your Majesty does not need to be so angry, but don’t be angry with the dragon body. He is also the son of His Majesty. He will certainly not make any excessive actions, and even if he wants to, according to our personal experience this time The information brought back showed that he and Stockton only brought back three thousand people. What big waves can these three thousand people make? I don’t think he would be that stupid! So Yichen’s Personally, this time he just wants to win the support of his majesty and let him…”

Seeing Anthony so annoyed, Ornest continued to persuade.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Anthony.

“Huh! Ornest, what you think is too good, since this rebellious son can make such a big move in the north, and he has not received any wind from the emperor before, and now his reputation is also in the imperial capital. It’s the same as before, which clearly shows that his mind is not right, and, don’t you still want me to compromise with that rebellious son?”

“Your Majesty, Lord Ornest, please say something to Old Minister Rong. In fact, your Majesty, the current situation is only your guess. As for the information returned from the north, it only shows that his conspiracy is not small. But isn’t this showing his abilities? Please rest assured, as long as he returns to the imperial capital, he will not be able to overcome any storms by his ministers. There is still a confident minister!”

At this time, General Albert, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly spoke out, and his words also showed his self-confidence, which was his strongest self-confidence as an empire.

“Hmph, since the general said so, then I will give him another chance, and I hope he won’t let me down again!”

Seeing Albert’s speech, Anthony’s gloomy complexion slightly improved, but the cold light bursting in his eyes did not diminish much.
