Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 143 Chapter 143
"Do they still pay attention to me, the king? Do they still pay attention to the entire aristocratic circle? Who do they think they are? Huh?" Wright VII threw the water glass in his hand to the ground, swearing and exasperated .

In front of him, the Prime Minister also had a sullen face, staring at the officer who came to pass the news without saying a word. They had just reached a cooperation agreement with Tang Mo, and then obtained enough ammunition from Tang Mo to protect themselves.

As a result, someone killed the count by hand, and by assassination.This made them all panic, and began to seriously consider whether their back chef was loyal enough.

No one wants to hide a pistol under the pillow when sleeping with a woman, and no one wants to worry about being stabbed by the other party when having sex.

In the same way, no one wants to suddenly fall to the ground holding his stomach while eating, and no one wants to taste bitter almonds after taking a sip of fine wine.

This is related to the crisis of trust in the entire aristocratic circle, and it is also related to the security of the entire world.

"It doesn't have to be Cyric... It's better to investigate... this kind of thing." In the end, the prime minister choked out a sentence, expressing his position.

The more this kind of time, the more you can't mess up by yourself.Although Cyric is very suspicious, it is really hard to say who was the one who did it in the end.

From the standpoint of the king of the Wright Kingdom, in fact, although Cyric may have poisoned, Suzas seems to have a reason to do so.

Even Tang Mo, who was cooperating with them, didn't seem to be completely unsuspecting. After all, if he wanted to control Beiling, then Fishero was obviously a very important target. After getting rid of Fishero, Tang Mo could indeed be in the North Ridge. In the chaos of Lingling, get a share of the pie.

So they can't direct all their hatred to Cyric now, and they should make themselves invincible, which is in their fundamental interests.

"Now we can't be impulsive. It's better to wait, wait for the conflict between Cyric and Tang Mo, or simply wait for them to lose out, and then we can benefit from it." The prime minister persuaded King Wright VII.

Wright VII finally restrained his anger and sat back on his throne: "Then what should we do now?"

"There is no good way. North Ridge is like a powder keg. If there is a little spark, it will explode. We just have to wait." The prime minister said the word wait again.

His Majesty the King seemed a little dissatisfied with this way of waiting to die, and continued to ask: "Then we have no choice but to take some of the benefits of North Ridge back?"

"Don't we want everyone to suspect that we poisoned Fishero to death?" the prime minister asked his king.

Wright VII also realized that it seemed a little irrational to seek benefits at this time, so he calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the chaos in Northridge.

He just thought about it, and he didn't think of a way to get benefits without showing his feet.

While he was thinking hard, a knight ran in, glanced at the prime minister who bowed his head silently, then walked up to King Wright's knight, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is definite news from Tang Mo... To Northridge!"

"What did you say?" The prime minister was taken aback when he heard his words, and then stood up in shock.He never thought that Tang Mo would go to North Ridge so impatiently.

Could it be... He even began to guess that the poison might not have been administered by Cyric or Suzas, but by Tang Mo...

"Tang, Tang Mo has already arrived at North Ridge... He has already gained control of Wolf City, but he doesn't know what he will do next." Looking at the agitated prime minister, the officer replied nervously.

……

Just when the news of Tang Mo's arrival in Beiling came back to Wangcheng, Tang Mo had actually arrived in Ice Crystal City.

He only took a look at a few officers who had heard the news, and then he took command of Ice Crystal River.The artillery commander here is his student, and the infantry commander here is also Tiger's old subordinate.

After taking control of the military, Tang Mo immediately started to deal with various difficult issues: "First, I will announce something to everyone present."

After seeing everyone looking at him, Tang Mo continued to solemnly announce: "I came from Wolf City, Datang Group and myself will support Luo Ning Alice of the Luo Ning family with the most firm attitude. Miss is in charge of all military and political affairs in North Ridge...is there any objection?"

No one in the room spoke, and the scene was very silent.Tang Mo was not in a hurry, but waited there with peace of mind, waiting for someone to stand up.

As a result, instead of waiting for someone who stood up, he waited for someone who agreed.The regiment artillery commander was the first to stand up and announced his position with his chin raised: "I firmly support Lord Tang Mo's decision!"

"I support it too!" On the other side, the infantry commander quickly stood up and said in support: "I also support Miss Rhonin Alice as our new Lord Earl!"

He is loyal to the Luo Ning family. If he is asked to support Tang Mo in controlling North Ridge, he may be half-hearted, or even make some small moves behind the scenes, but it is not difficult for him to continue to support Alice.

In fact, most of the people standing in this room were worried just now that Tang Mo came to North Ridge for his own benefit.

If that's the case, they don't really know what to do.Because they knew that Tang Mo's influence in North Ridge was not small, and it could be seen from the fact that he was able to control Wolf City overnight.

If Tang Mo really raised his arms and asked Beiling to become his vassal, the leaderless Beiling Group might really become a peach in Tang Mo's hands.

But now it seemed that Tang Mo had come to help Ronin Alice, which obviously made everyone heave a sigh of relief.Although everyone has doubts about whether Alice can continue to lead Northridge to develop and grow, but subjectively, they approve of Alice more.

"We will do our best to assist Miss Alice." The earl's personal butler also stood up to support Tang Mo and said, "For Beiling!"

"For Beiling!" The other people in the room also joined in, and the scene immediately became much easier.

Tang Mo nodded, and thanked: "Thank you for supporting Miss Alice! I hope you can dedicate your loyalty and talent to the new Earl of Northridge, Rhonin Alice, just like assisting Earl Fischero. .”

"We will." A group of people also immediately promised Tang Mo: "Northern Ridge will continue to move forward under the leadership of the new Earl Ronin Alice!"

Looking at the retainers of Beiling, Tang Mo knew that the handover work here was almost done.So he shifted the topic to what happened behind Fishero: "Have you dealt with your lord's body?"

"The weather is still cool, so it's not a big problem. The appearance has been taken care of, and it's very peaceful." A servant working for the Earl stood in a corner and answered Tang Mo's question.

Tang Mo nodded slightly, and then continued to order: "Get the carriage ready. After the business here is done, I will personally escort the body of the Earl back to Wolf City."

"The etiquette for burying the Earl must be very thoughtful. Money is not a problem, the scale must be large, and the participants must be high-ranking! Understand?" When Tang Mo asked this question, he looked around at everyone present.

"Understood!" All the officers and some of the Earl's entourage replied immediately, they seemed to have acquiesced that Tang Mo was already their actual commander.

After arranging the affairs of the Earl's death, Tang Mo immediately asked about the murder of the Earl: "Where are the people who investigated the assassination of the Earl? What's the result?"

"My lord." An officer stood up after hearing the news, and replied to Tang Mo: "We have investigated the assassinated maid. She is an old man in this city hall, and she has always been from Susas before."

"Why, she wasn't replaced? Is there any reason?" Tang Mo frowned and asked the other party.

"The other party's family members are all in Ice Crystal City, and they all have a very clean background. We were short of manpower before, so we left some local servants and maids." The officer explained regretfully: "Before, we were going to replace them. Yes, but she's very capable..."

"How could such a stupid thing happen in the Earl's security work?" Tang Mo snorted with a bit of resentment.

"We changed the house for her family and gave her a settling allowance. No one thought that she would... do this." The officer lowered his voice as he spoke, "There is nothing wrong with her on weekdays, and She also received money to improve her life, she didn't...no reason..."

"Actually, she did it, and it succeeded." Tang Mo interrupted the other party's explanation, and then continued to ask: "Has her family been under control?"

"No..." The officer shook his head regretfully, and it was obvious that he was not very good at these things.

"Huh?" Tang Mo glanced over sharply, he was sure that the other party's performance in this aspect was a little too slow.For a moment, he even began to doubt the officer.

"When we went, they were all dead." The officer lowered his head and explained, "The maid has a younger sister, a younger brother, and her parents. They all died at home, and none of them survived."

"The family was wiped out?" Tang Mo knew that the other party might kill people to silence him, but he didn't expect to do it so quickly.

"Yes, they were all killed. Our soldiers rushed there about three hours after the accident."
