The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 118 Victory begins
"Xiao Lin Ta!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent was stunned.

It was totally unexpected that this Uliji man would actually turn against Xiao Simo and bite him back in front of him.

He actually said that the person who killed his father was not Li Xiao, but Xiao Simo?

"This~"

Wu Meng and another captain looked at each other in astonishment.

I originally thought that this was a conspiracy by Xiao Linta against Li Xiao, but now it seems that something is not right.

Xiao Linta fell into Li Xiao's trap.

"You are talking nonsense."

At this moment, Xiao Linta could no longer hold back and stared at Amo fiercely, with murderous intent that could not be concealed in the depths of his eyes.

The betrayal of a key witness is the most deadly.

I thought it was my trump card, but I didn't expect to be fooled by this bastard.

Xiao Linta immediately understood that this Wuliji man had been Li Xiao's man from the beginning to the end.

He was too clever for his own good.

"Sir, I am not talking nonsense." Amo said in a firm voice.

His ferocious gaze met Xiao Linta's without any fear.

Because he has no way out.

Xiao Linta not only killed his father, but also colluded with the high priest and his son to annex the Uliji tribe.

And at that time, would these people keep him as a stumbling block?

Now Amo’s only way out is to follow Li Xiao closely.

In this way, he would have the possibility of revenge, and more importantly, he would have the opportunity to take back the Uliji tribe and even inherit his father's position as a thousand households.

So, now he has no choice but to fight Xiao Linta to the end.

"Sir, it was Xiao Linta who colluded with the high priest of my Wuliji tribe and plotted to kill my father." Amo said in a firm voice.

Then he briefly recounted what had happened, including how Etulu had ambushed and shot Uliji to death on the battlefield.

Afterwards, Xiao Linta conspired with the high priest and his son to take away Wuliji's position as a thousand households and put the blame on Li Xiao.

Everything was told.

Hearing this, Xiao Simo's face became even gloomier, and he finally glared at Xiao Linta fiercely.

He believed that what Amo said was true.

This matter was definitely done by Xiao Linta.

In order to put the blame on Li Xiao, this bastard actually killed a captain.

He really dares to do anything.

After being glared at by Xiao Simo and hearing a faint cold snort, Xiao Linta suddenly felt something was wrong and broke out in a cold sweat.

My mind was racing, wondering how to resolve this farce.

At this moment, Xiao Simo shouted loudly and directly stopped Amo's accusation.

"That's enough~"

With cold faces and a rather depressing atmosphere, Wu Meng and the others all lowered their heads deeply to reduce their presence.

Amo immediately shut his mouth and looked at Xiao Simo eagerly, waiting for him to seek justice for him.

But unfortunately, Amo was destined to be disappointed.

Because Xiao Simo didn't take him, or the Uliji tribe, seriously at all.

First of all, Xiao Linta is a trusted veteran who has followed him for many years, and his status is far more important than that of the Uliji tribe.

He was just the chief of a nomadic tribe. Not to mention that he was murdered by Xiao Linta's conspiracy, even if he was killed openly, Xiao Simo would only give him a severe punishment and would not take Xiao Linta's life as compensation.

Secondly, as a superior, he has to consider the political impact.

Once he punished Xiao Linta, it would inevitably disrupt the political ecological environment of Jinzhou.

Originally, Xiao Linta did not have the upper hand in Jinzhou. Once affected by this incident, he would be even less able to check and balance Li Xiao.

There is a high probability that Golden State will become a dominant force.

Therefore, from Xiao Simo's own point of view, he must protect Xiao Linta at all costs.

The best way is to stop this matter from developing further and pretend that it never happened.

He would not punish anyone, at most he would give Amo some compensation, and that would be the end of it.

As for whether Amo is dead or alive after a while, he won't care.

"This matter~"

However, just as Xiao Simo was about to speak, a personal soldier outside the tent came to report.

"Your Majesty, Commander Li Xiao requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Simo slowly swallowed back the rest of his words.

A sneer appeared on his indifferent face.

"Okay, okay, the other protagonist is here too."

What is this bastard Li Xiao doing here?
He must be supporting this Uliji person.

Since Li Xiao has already caught Xiao Linta's handle, he will definitely hold on to it and will not let Xiao Simo get away with it easily.

Xiao Simo laughed in anger, then said in a heavy voice, "Let him in."

Xiao Simo himself had outstanding political skills and awareness, and the moment he heard the news of Wuliji's death.

He just associated everything.

Behind the matter, his two most trusted confidants, Xiao Linta and Li Xiao, were fighting each other.

Originally, I thought Xiao Linta was more skilled, but unexpectedly, it was Li Xiao who set up this trap and let Xiao Linta fall into it.

To be honest, at this moment, Xiao Simo suddenly had a feeling that arranging Xiao Linta and Li Xiao in Jinzhou at the same time might not be the right choice.

Xiao Linta is a power-hungry person, and Li Xiao is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated. He also has the support of local forces in Jinzhou.

Although Xiao Simo deliberately created a situation where the two governors would check and balance each other, he did not want the two to fight each other beyond the limit.

It damaged the strength of the northern border.

Now, Xiao Simo is still in Jinzhou, and the two have started fighting. After he leaves, won't the two of them meet in battle?

Soon, Li Xiao walked into the tent, clasping his right fist across his chest and saying, "Greetings, sir."

Then he stood up, glanced at everyone, and said to Xiao Simo, "Sir, I came here today because I heard that Captain Wuliji had died."

"And it seems to be related to Governor Xiao Linta~"

Before Li Xiao could finish his words, Xiao Linta glared at him and yelled at him.

"Li Xiao, stop talking nonsense."

"Bendu walks upright and sits upright."

"As the governor of Jinzhou, how could you harm one of your own thousand households without any reason?"

Then, with an indignant look, he shouted to Xiao Simo, "Your Majesty."

"Li Xiao's talk is nonsense. He is slandering me! He is slandering me!"

Faced with Xiao Linta's cries of injustice, Xiao Simo felt angry.

He cursed secretly: "Two useless things."

There is no doubt that this is a drama directed by the two people in order to fight for power and profit.

The idiot Uliji became a tool in their hands without realizing it.

"Humph~"

Thinking of this, Xiao Simo became even more angry.

Li Xiao, facing Xiao Linta's outburst, showed no sign of weakness and said in a deep voice, "Commander Xiao, whether I, Li Xiao, am talking nonsense or not is a matter for the garrison commander to decide. You will not be tolerated for your unreasonable behavior."

"Li Xiao, are you going to fight me to the death?"

Li Xiao said firmly, "Commander Xiao, there's no need to threaten me."

"I, Li Xiao, won't buy it."

"Someone's knife is about to fall on my head. Do you still expect me, Li Xiao, to remain indifferent?"

"You~" Xiao Linta was furious.

Over the years, he has rarely lost his composure like this.

"In a word, I, Xiao Linta, have behaved uprightly and have a clear conscience."

"Wuliji's death has nothing to do with me. You are slandering me."

Xiao Linta must fight to the death.

Moreover, he believed that there were no loopholes in what he did and that Li Xiao could not produce any evidence to accuse him.

But unexpectedly, Li Xiao took out something the next second.

He sneered and said, "Slander?"

"Commander Xiao, open your eyes and look, what is this?"

"It's the token of your personal guard, Commander Xiao. It was found on the high priest of the Wuliji tribe."

"At that time, you sent your confidant to conspire with the high priest, and he carried with him the token of your personal guard, Commander Xiao, to verify his identity."

"But what you didn't expect is that the high priest of the Uliji tribe is a thief."

"He secretly swapped the tokens of your personal guards."

"You do not know?"

"Perhaps your personal guards discovered it afterwards and didn't dare tell you."

After hearing what Li Xiao said, Xiao Linta was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't know about this matter, and his personal guards had never told him that the token was lost.

So, he subconsciously shouted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

But the next second, when he saw the token in Li Xiao's hand clearly, he was even more confused.

Because, that was really the token of his personal guard.

Can't go wrong.

But why is it in Li Xiao's hands?
Is it really as Li Xiao said, that the high priest of the Uliji tribe stole the token, and his own guards did not dare to tell him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Linta broke out in a cold sweat and his face turned very ugly.

Anyone could see that he was not in the right mood.

He seemed to be lacking in confidence and felt very guilty.

The Khitan captain under Xiao Linta closed his eyes in despair.

Wu Meng and another captain shook their heads speechlessly.

Xiao Linta usually looks insidious and cunning, but also calm and composed. Why did he suddenly lose his composure at this moment?
Not to mention those of us who have some knowledge of the situation, even a completely clueless person can see that something is wrong with Xiao Linta at the moment.

Instead, Xiao Simo, who was sitting at the top, turned around and glared fiercely at Xiao Yanyan, who was sitting next to him with a smug look on her face.

"You really want to kill Xiao Linta?" Xiao Simo said helplessly.

As one of the few insiders, he naturally knew what the token in Li Xiao's hand was.

Xiao Yanyan had just "stolen" it from the central army warehouse not long ago.

Personal guard tokens like these, which represent one's status, are usually produced under the supervision of the Garrison Office, so there are always a few left for generals to use to expand their personal guard teams.

Of course, Xiao Linta is now the governor of Jinzhou, and the future personal guard tokens will definitely be supervised by the Jinzhou Governor's Office.

But after all, he had just taken office and had not had time to replace him.

I still use the previous one.

The person guarding the warehouse did not dare to offend Xiao Yanyan, so he hurried to report to Xiao Simo.

At first, I didn't understand what Xiao Yanyan was going to do with the token.

Now, Xiao Simo understood.

Used to frame Xiao Linta!
The key point is that Xiao Linta seems to have really been fooled.

"It's really~"

"It's impossible to support a wall with mud." Xiao Simo shook his head in his heart.
