"Open the door."
As soon as Tuso finished speaking, a young voice came from inside the palace, somewhat immature, and it was hard to tell whether it was male or female.
"Lord Tuso, the Mongol doctor is treating the Khan, and no one is allowed to disturb him. Please do not make things difficult for Tara's guards."
Upon hearing this, the black-armored guards who had been standing aside without making any extra movements, only cautiously observing their surroundings, quickly stood in front of the gate, keeping Tuso and Tara far away from the palace gate.
The meaning was self-evident; it was clear they didn't intend to let Tuso in.
These attendants were all people close to the Khan. Only the shaman appointed by the Khan and the maids who served him year-round were allowed to enter the Khan's palace.
Not to mention that the Khan is still undergoing treatment and must not be disturbed by this person.
Seeing this, Tuso narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I suspect that the two apprentice doctors of the Monte witch doctor are carrying something that is harmful to the Khan."
If the Khan were to lose his life as a result, your actions today would be aiding and abetting evil.
Upon hearing this, the black-armored guards paused, exchanged glances, but made no other move.
Tuso ignored their hesitation and waved to Tara and the others.
The gray-armored guards immediately understood and shooed away the black-armored guards blocking the palace gates, then opened the palace gates themselves.
Tuso quickly walked in, and when his gaze fell on the person standing at the entrance, he didn't say anything, just gave him a cold look, and then walked towards the inner room.
Inside the inner room, Monte was writing a prescription at his desk, while the young apprentice was packing his medicine chest. When Tuso entered, he quickly lowered his head.
Tuso merely squinted his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Monte stood up and bowed to Tuso before turning to Jiang Yimian, who had followed him in, and said, "Didn't you tell Lord Tuso that I was treating the Khan?"
You don't even care about the Khan's body, what are you trying to achieve?
Upon hearing this, Tuso merely snorted coldly, knowing that the other party was making veiled insults. Not only did he ignore it, but he also pushed away Aguzan, who was standing by the bed, and focused his gaze on the person on the bed.
He yanked the blanket off and saw that the person on the bed was still the same as before, with no problems on the exposed arms, and the face was still pale and bloodless, showing no signs of waking up. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There's no need to worry as long as the Khan doesn't wake up.
He then looked at Monte and casually said, "I heard that the witch doctor brought two unfamiliar faces to the palace today, and I am really worried about him."
After all, if two strangers had ill intentions toward the Khan, the Mundane witch doctor probably couldn't do anything about it.
The Monte witch doctor still needs to proceed with caution.
If these witch doctors hadn't been allowed into the Khan's palace, he would have killed them long ago.
Fortunately, these useless fellows couldn't detect the Gu worms in the Khan's body; otherwise, even if it aroused suspicion, he wouldn't have let these witch doctors who ruined his plans get away with it.
Monte simply scoffed, “Lord Tuso is being far too cautious. These two are both from my household, and I naturally selected them carefully before deciding to bring them into the palace.”
Lord Tuso has so many things to do every day, yet I had no idea you knew so much about who I brought into the palace.
It seems Lord Tuso truly keeps everything about Tuyuhun in mind; he seems even more concerned than the eldest prince.
Tuso chuckled lightly, showing no anger whatsoever, and casually said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master Witch Doctor. As an official of Tuyuhun, I naturally have to take all important matters to heart."
Once the prayer ceremony was over, the first person he killed was this old fellow, who, relying on the Khan's high regard for him, didn't take him seriously at all.
Keeping this kind of person around is just asking for trouble.
As he finished speaking, he was about to leave when his gaze swept over Jiang Yimian and landed on Aguzan, at which point he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Aguzan felt himself being locked onto by a gaze, and immediately lowered his head even further. Although his face was calm, he felt a little flustered inside.
It's strange that he couldn't help but feel a stir whenever he saw this person; he never expected that this guy would be so sensitive and quickly notice his gaze.
If he were recognized by the person in front of him now, he would be arrested by the guards outside in an instant. At that time, let alone becoming Khan, it would be hard to say whether he would even survive.
Seeing this, Monte felt a little panicked, but he still remained sarcastic and asked, "Lord Tuso, aren't you busy with the prayer ceremony today?"
Or perhaps, compared to the grand prayer ceremony, my two apprentice medicine boys are what the adults care about more.
As he spoke, he stood up, subtly blocking Tuso's view of Aguzan.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian subconsciously gripped the dagger she had just taken out of her spatial storage, ready to grab the other party at any moment and prepare for their escape.
Tuso merely sneered, his eyes filled with doubt and inquiry as he stared at Aguzan.
The person in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity, especially the way the other person looked at him just now. He had only seen that look of resentment and anger in Aguzan.
But now, upon closer inspection, that familiar feeling has vanished.
Both her face and her figure are quite different from what I remember.
But he was certain that the familiar feeling he had just experienced was not a hallucination.
That look is something only Aguzan could have.
Aguzan has now returned to Tuyuhun. Although no one knows where he is now, the guards in the capital have not found any trace of him.
But if Monte was originally one of Aguzan's men, then his appearance here wouldn't be surprising.
The prayer ceremony was of utmost importance to the eldest prince as he ascended to the throne of Khan, and it must not be ruined.
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Thinking of all this, he pushed aside Monte who was blocking his way and reached out to grab Aguzan.
At this moment, the medicine boy who had been silent all along suddenly screamed in fright, falling to the ground in terror, and stammered, "Master, please don't arrest us."
Tuso immediately frowned, withdrew his hand, and looked at Jiang Yimian.
This sight made his eyes widen in surprise. He saw a small bump behind the boy's ear, exactly the same color as his skin.
This is a human skin mask.
Tuso was immediately delighted and quickly turned to walk towards Jiang Yimian.
Upon seeing this, the black-armored guards outside the palace quickly drew their long swords and rushed in.
Jiang Yimian collapsed to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably, and she said fearfully, "No, don't grab me."
Tuso, however, just stared intently at the person on the ground and sneered, "It seems that someone has infiltrated the palace in disguise by Lord Monte's side, intending to do something to the Khan."
As he spoke, he reached out and ripped the human skin mask off Jiang Yimian's face.
Aguzan and Monte felt their hearts leap into their throats for a moment, and they were both a little flustered.
