Chapter 266 The King of Thailand 1
The Tai Palace in Cheng'an.
The King of Thailand is walking back and forth in the study. He just received a message from Jiangzhou that his brother, the current emperor, suddenly came to Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou prefect Lin Zhenghe has been arrested. Now the situation in Jiangzhou has been completely controlled! The initiator of all this is Deng Long!
He finally stopped walking, picked up the wine glass in his hand and poured the wine into his mouth, and then threw the wine glass to the ground again, his face so gloomy and terrible.
"Deng Long! I am incompatible with you!"
The roar of the King of Thailand resounded throughout the King of Thailand’s mansion!
The moment he knew that Lin Zhenghe was arrested, he knew that everything was over. The only chance was the batch of gold that was being shipped on the way. However, according to the normal time, it should have arrived, but there is still no situation, which makes the angry King of Thailand a little worried.
The scouts outside the door looked at the angry Thai king inside in fear. As the most strata of the royal palace, they could only ask God to bless him and not let the Thai king's anger be on their heads.
Just as the servant asked all the gods and Buddhas, the butler of the prince's mansion hurriedly walked past. When he arrived at the servant, he asked in a low voice: "How is the prince now?"
The servant was delighted when he saw the butler coming, so he hurriedly said, "How can the prince get angry inside!"
This news is not a good thing for the butler, because the person who sent out to transport gold just now has returned. Only one person has returned, but the gold has not been brought back half a tael. If the matter is known by the King of Thailand, the Thai Palace will probably be turned upside down again!
So the butler is hesitant now.
"Xiaoquan! If you haven't come in yet, why are you underestimating outside?" The voice of the King of Thailand came from inside, with vague anger.
The housekeeper, Zhou Quan, couldn't help but sigh. The so-called blessing is not a disaster or a disaster, and he still has to face what he should face. So he gritted his teeth and waved his hand to let the servants at the door leave, then said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Lu is back!"
"Really?" The closed study door was opened suddenly, and the King of Thailand hurried out from inside and said hurriedly: "Where is Zhou Luren? Is the gold shipment back?"
Zhou Quan was in a dilemma at this time, "This..."
Seeing the difficult look on Zhou Quan's face, the Thai King, who had already improved, couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger!
So he said in a deep voice: "What's wrong? What about Zhou Luren?"
Zhou Quan lowered his head even lower and said, "Zhou Lu is in the lobby. As for gold, the prince should ask him personally!"
"Hmph!" The King of Thailand snorted coldly, obviously not satisfied with Zhou Quan's answer. Then he shook his sleeves and said coldly: "Come with me!" After that, he took the lead in walking towards the lobby.
Zhou Quan sighed slightly: This errand that caused trouble is really not a good errand! He followed honestly.
The King of Thailand is in a very good mood now. Zhou Quan's hesitation just now made him know that Zhou Lu brought back this time was not good news. If there was really something wrong with that batch of gold...
When he thought of this, his scalp felt numb and his heart became less and less calm. Even when he met his beloved concubine in the garden, he didn't give him any good expression, which made the concubine look dissatisfied.
He hurriedly walked into the lobby and couldn't help but slow down because there was a person kneeling in the lobby. The man's outfit was not much better than the beggars on the street!
After sitting in the chair in the lobby, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Rise your head!"
The kind of kneeling was Zhou Lu. If you didn't look carefully, the King of Thailand would have thought it was a beggar on the street and ran to the palace. But all this was not important. What attracted him the most was the dry blood on Zhou Lu's body and the left arm wrapped in a bandage with messy cloth!
Zhou Lu's miserable situation made the Thai king, who was already worried, slowly sink. He suddenly felt that the thing he was most worried about had happened. Something might really have happened to that batch of gold...
After slowly calming down, he asked, "What happened!"
When he asked, he knelt down and his eyes turned red, and he cried, "The prince... the gold was stolen!"
"What?" The Thai king now felt his head being punched with a fist, his eyes turned black, and his body couldn't help but shake. He quickly subconsciously helped the armrest of the chair, and Zhou Lu next to him immediately helped him, caring and said: "Prince!"
After the dizziness passed, the King of Thailand reluctantly waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Quan did not have to be nervous, and then asked again: "What's going on? Explain it clearly to me!"
Zhou Lu, who was kneeling, saw that the King of Thailand almost fainted, couldn't help but feel anxious. However, when he thought that the batch of gold he escorted was kidnapped, his life was worrying, and he couldn't help but worry about himself. While he was worried about gains and losses, the King of Thailand on the chair had recovered and began to ask him about the details.
Zhou Lu calmed down and knew that he could not escape, so he felt sad, his eyes turned red, and he cried and said, "The little one took Brother No. 100 to the mine to escort gold under the order of the prince. He did not encounter any accidents when he was in Jiangzhou, and everything seemed normal. However, when we were on the water, we were suddenly attacked, and more than one hundred brothers were killed, but the little one fell into the water and escaped!"
"What?" The Thai king stood up from the chair, and Zhou Quan next to him quickly helped him.
He pointed at Zhou Lu and asked, "You said that everyone except you were killed? There was no one living?"
Zhou Lu nodded, and the scene at that time appeared in his mind: the crossbow arrow with extremely penetrating and powerful strength, the crossbow with all black poisonousness, and the bloodthirsty eyes...
Fear appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded involuntarily!
"Then how many of them died!" the King of Thailand asked again.
Zhou Lu moved his mouth and said softly: "It seems... no one died!"
"What?" The King of Thailand couldn't help but shake, and said, "No one died?"
Zhou Lu nodded.
The King of Thailand seemed to have his strength removed from his body, and suddenly sat on the chair. The hundreds of people he sent were elite. When only one of them was solved was left, none of them died. Who were those? Are the gods in the sky?
The Thai king felt a little despair when Lin Zhenghe was captured and gold was robbed. Sooner or later, maybe something happened to the gold mine.
After being silent for a long time, he raised his head slightly, looked at Zhou Lu who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you know who those are?"
"I don't know!" Zhou Lu replied immediately, then picked up something and raised his head carefully, raised his head over, and said, "This is the crossbow arrow used by those people. It is a kind of crossbow arrow that can easily shoot through our cabin, and most of our brothers really died on such crossbow arrows."
The King of Thailand looked at the crossbow arrows raised by Zhou Lu and immediately said to Zhou Quan, who was holding him, "Take it to me!" In his heart, he knew very well that in order to protect the gold, the cabins on the ships transported were thickened, and ordinary bows and arrows could not be shot through at all, let alone hurting the people inside.
Zhou Quan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the crossbow arrow from Zhou Lu's hand and handed it to the King of Thailand. The King of Thailand took it and looked at it in detail.
This crossbow arrow first gives him a feeling of heavier than that of ordinary crossbow arrows, and the arrows of crossbow arrows are also different from those of ordinary crossbow arrows. In order to increase lethality, the crossbow arrows are not easy to be taken out after hitting the target. The crossbow arrows are all cross-shaped, and there are barbs on them. At the same time, in order to save materials, only the arrows are often used with iron, and the tails of crossbow arrows are mostly feathers! The arrows of this crossbow arrows are conical, smaller than ordinary arrows, and four twisted spiral grooves are engraved on them. In order to ensure weight, one-quarter of the front of the entire crossbow arrow is iron. The tail of the crossbow arrows is also made of thin iron sheets, and the lifting and the arrow shaft are not on the same line.
This is the crossbow arrow that can shoot through the cabin? The King of Thailand couldn't help but wonder when he looked at this strange crossbow arrow.
But seeing Zhou Lu's appearance didn't seem to be lying, so he looked at it again and found a problem with this, that is, there were many white things in front of him, and the color was very similar to the color of the best sword.
He quickly said to Zhou Quan: "Get a dagger!"
Zhou Quan immediately found a dagger and handed it to him.'
After carefully scraping the black layer outside, the King of Thailand finally saw the true face of this crossbow arrow. The general arrows used different iron. One-quarter of the front part of this crossbow arrow is all very strange. If we look at it from our current perspective, we will definitely know that it is steel.
"What a big deal!" The King of Thailand couldn't help but sigh. In his heart, he had already estimated the price of this crossbow arrow, that is, the price of producing such a crossbow arrow is almost equivalent to ten ordinary crossbow arrows. Relatively speaking, the price of this crossbow arrow is already heavyweight. What's more, it is made in large quantities, so how much financial resources does it take?
The King of Thailand dared not even think about it!
In order to test the power of this crossbow arrow, he ordered: "Go and call Mr. Peng and others to come to the martial arts training ground, and then find a crossbow that can shoot this crossbow arrow. I want to see if it is really that powerful!"
After saying that, Zhou Lu, who was still kneeling on the ground, said, "Come too! If this crossbow arrow is not what you said, it must be that you deliberately deceived me, and then you know the consequences!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and walked to the lobby.
