The Eagle Shooting Heroes: From Golden-Knife Prince Consort to Emperor Guangwu of the Great Zhou Dyn

The Persian man in Guo Liqing's possession revealed that this church was the stronghold of the Persian Dark Night organization in Samarkand, and that although Badr appeared to be a chivalrous thief, his true identity was that of an assassin.

Beyond these identities, Bader also has another one: the eldest son of the Kangcha family.

The Kangcha family were military nobles of Khwarazm, but they have now been handed over to Genghis Khan by Guo Liqing and have all been exterminated.

Badr left his family at a young age to become an assassin for the Dark Night organization.

Faced with the hatred of his clan's annihilation, of course he had to avenge it!

However, he knew that he might not be able to kill both Genghis Khan and Guo Jing at the same time, so he lured the chivalrous thief Nashita to kill Guo Jing, while he himself went to assassinate Genghis Khan.

After listening, Guo Liqing suddenly realized why Bader was so determined to assassinate him; it was out of revenge.

Guo Liqing immediately released the pressure points, allowing the person to leave.

When they returned to Nahita's side, the man under Nahita's command also confessed.

Badr's assassination attempt on Genghis Khan was not only his personal decision, but also involved the Sogdi family.

The Sogdi family was a merchant family in Samarkand, operating various businesses in the city.

When Guo Liqing was "selecting" nobles, he thought that the Sogdi family were merchants, so he gave them a way out and allowed them to maintain the commercial circulation in the city.

But unexpectedly, they had ulterior motives.

They urged Badr to assassinate him, and if successful, they could gather the scattered soldiers in the city and rise up in rebellion amidst the chaos.

Guo Liqing gave a cold laugh and said to the man, "Your companion didn't say that just now."

"He's from the Sogdi family, so he definitely wouldn't identify himself as belonging to the Sogdi family!"

"So who are you?"

"I am a member of the Dark Night Organization."

It turns out the two people in the church weren't on the same page either; no wonder they confessed so quickly.

Guo Liqing took out a small stick and asked, "This is the signal, right?"

The fact that the other party saw that this thing was in Guo Liqing's hands meant that Bader had failed.

"Where is Badr?"

"He's dead."

The man's eyes instantly darkened. "Just kill me!"

Guo Liqing released his pressure points. "Never mind, there will be another cleansing tonight, so I won't add to the bloodshed."

Guo Liqing led Nahita away from the church, handing her the signal flare and saying, "Light it near the palace!"

Nahita immediately understood, "You're trying to lure them out?"

"right!"

"But they haven't risen in rebellion at this moment?"

Guo Liqing stopped and looked at Nashita, asking, "Do you want me to let them go?"

"I don't want you to commit any more killings."

Guo Liqing said, "I have no deep-seated hatred for you, and I don't want to see them killed. But the current situation is that Badr's assassination has angered Genghis Khan, and his anger has nowhere to go but to fall on the innocent people in the city. I have only made a choice between the minority and the majority, and these minority are not innocent."

"I know you are a kind-hearted person, but why do you follow such a bloodthirsty king?"

Guo Liqing looked at Nashita and asked, "Do you have a good solution?"

Nashita's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Yes..."

"Kill Genghis Khan?"

Guo Liqing noticed that Nashita was afraid to speak, so he spoke for her.

Nashita was somewhat puzzled. She thought that Guo Liqing, as Genghis Khan's subject, would never dare to say such treasonous words, but she did not expect him to say them so easily.

"Killing one Genghis Khan will only bring forth a new one," Guo Liqing said bluntly. "My power today is all thanks to Genghis Khan. The reason I was able to protect half of the soldiers and civilians in Samarkand is because the Khan trusted me. But if he dies, the new Khan will not trust me! I will have no say in how the new Khan will deal with the city."

The reasoning was simple, and Nashita understood it immediately. She lowered her head and silently accepted the signal flare from Guo Liqing's hand.

Guo Liqing held Nashita's hand and said, "There are no absolutely perfect choices in this world; we can only choose between bad and worse."

Nahita nodded and left with the signal flare.

Guo Liqing immediately went to the barracks to muster the troops.

Shortly afterward, a signal flare was launched above the palace, and the Sogdi family members, upon seeing it, immediately began to take action.

But what awaited them was an ambush by Guo Liqing's troops lying in wait all around.

The battle did not last long. Guo Liqing captured the head of the Sogdi family, and the rest of the family members were also arrested.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Guo Liqing led several of the instigators to the palace to meet Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan was overjoyed to see Guo Liqing achieve another merit. He bestowed some rewards upon Guo Liqing, then executed the members of the Sogdi family, and his anger over the massacre of the city naturally dissipated.

Guo Liqing once again saved half of the soldiers and civilians in Samarkand.

Afterwards, Guo Liqing returned to the general's mansion and summoned Ya Laowachi.

Following the lead of the Sogdi family, Ya Laowachi uncovered some scattered soldiers, but he subdued them all through political means.

Guo Liqing was quite satisfied with Ya Laowachi's abilities. He only gave Ya Laowachi one task: "protect the territory and ensure the safety of the people."

Ya Laowachi was naturally very grateful for this.

After Ya Laowachi withdrew, Hua Zheng went to the general's mansion again.

Hua Zheng looked at Guo Liqing and said, "I just heard that so many things happened last night."

"How was your rest at the palace?"

Hua Zheng stepped forward and hugged Guo Liqing's arm, saying with a smile in her eyes, "It's still more comfortable being by your side."

"Owner!"

At that moment, Nahita walked in.

When Hua Zheng saw the Persian beauty in front of her, her heart skipped a beat, and jealousy began to rise.

"who is she?"

Guo Liqing frankly stated, "Her name is Nashita. She was the assassin who tried to kill me, but I subdued her. It was also because of her that I was able to know about the assassination attempt on the Great Khan beforehand. I also owe a great deal of help in uncovering the Sogdi family."

"Is she an assassin?" Hua Zheng's gaze shifted from jealousy to worry.

"Yes. But we've already agreed that she'll stay and work for me." Guo Liqing suddenly turned to look at Hua Zheng beside him. "You don't mind if I keep her here, do you?"

Hua Zheng's eyes widened, and she said, "Why are you leaving a woman with you?"

"Since you mind, I'll let her go back!"

"Wait!" Hua Zheng was not unreasonable. She knew that Guo Liqing was now in a high position and would naturally need to cultivate his own people around him.

"If you want to stay, then stay! You need your own people too!"

Guo Liqing smiled slightly and said, "Nashita, come and greet the princess."

Nahita bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess!"

"Nashita, go pack your things. We're leaving for the desert tomorrow."

"Yes."

After Nahita left, Guo Liqing put his arm around Hua Zheng's waist and walked into the room.

As soon as the door closed, Guo Liqing grabbed Hua Zheng's head and kissed her, pressing down on her so hard that she could barely breathe.

Faced with Guo Liqing's enthusiasm, Hua Zheng's heart stirred. Knowing she couldn't avoid it, she pulled away and said, "What if we get pregnant like this?"

"If you have a child, just have it!"

Hua Zheng smiled slightly and accepted the offer.

Half an hour later, Guo Liqing was still not satisfied.

Reflecting on Huazheng's gentle voice, I couldn't help but admire the solid foundation of Mongolian girls.

Unfortunately, Hua Zheng was also inexperienced in such matters. She had been spending days with Guo Liqing and hadn't had a good rest. She fell asleep shortly after it ended.

Guo Liqing touched it again, then found his clothes, put them on, and left the room.
