Chapter 44 Success Depends on God

Selim felt more and more uneasy. At this time, more than a dozen figures appeared in the thick smoke. The Sultan held the musket on his waist, ready to fire at any time. Ye Yan )

The figure slowly emerged from the thick smoke. It seemed that the person who came was Justinian. Selim breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not completely relax his vigilance.

"Raise your hands, Justinian, if you are.

Answer me, what are the three colors in the French tricolor emblem used for?"

The spy prince raised his hands obediently and answered.

"If you support the restoration of the dynasty, please use the blue on the left, long live the revolution, please use the red on the right, and if the war breaks out, please use the white in the middle."

Hearing the intimate French jokes, Selim's heart finally let go a little.

He leaned forward and asked, "What's going on? Justinian. Are the Austrians and Russians here?"

"It should be, Your Majesty, but please rest assured that we have cleared the enemy spies in this area.

But considering that we don't know the enemy's manpower well enough, we suggest that you return to the guard camp as soon as possible.

I will escort you with them in person. As for the enemy's spies, my deputy will deal with them."

Selim let out a breath and said, "Just do as you say, Justinian, let's go back quickly."

The group quickly left the area covered by thick smoke, and Abdullah Pasha had already received the news from Justinian's people and rushed here with the Sultan's guards-the independent regiment.

When he entered the camp, Selim finally relaxed completely.

"Damn Fanar bastard, damn Russian bastard, damn Austrian, and this bunch of Greek idiots."

The Sultan cursed with gritted teeth.

"Wait for me. If I don't kill you, I won't be a sultan anymore. I'll just become a monk."

In the wilderness, the spies of both sides were still confronting each other, and Anthemos felt a panic.

The spies he sent out to kill them have not sent back any news yet, and it is estimated that they are in danger.

"Damn it, why are there so many people on the other side? How could they escape this assassination?"

Anthemos said to himself anxiously. At this time, he had already lost his initial madness and was filled with uncontrollable fear.

In fact, this confrontation was a miscalculation of the other side's strength for both sides.

For Selim, he never thought that the other side would be so crazy and let in the Russians and Austrians.

And for Anthemos, he didn't expect that the Sultan would have such an astonishing number of spies in the Thessaloniki area.

So much so that he completely misjudged the situation and ultimately failed to take down the Sultan.

The smoke was about to dissipate, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Antimos. He had to find ways to clear the suspicion of his family.

"Get rid of the Austrians and Russians. Only in this way can we prevent them from slandering the family for fear of causing national disputes."

Antimos thought viciously, and he decided to quickly resolve this potential threat.

Under Antimos's arrangement, a large number of Fanar spies were recalled and deployed around.

Not long after Antimos issued the order, the Austrian and Russian spies were also quickly recalled.

With the final position, Antimos made a gesture, and the spies of the Fanar family hidden around them suddenly rushed forward, and the two sides began a bloody fight.

Looking at the spies who died in the fight with the Austrians and Russians, Antimos felt his heart bleeding.

These spies were cultivated by the family with a lot of money, but now they are almost completely lost in this operation.

But compared to the life and death of the spies, there are more terrifying things that are worth worrying about. He must erase the traces of his family's involvement as soon as possible.

This may not have much effect, but it is the only thing he can do.

】

Antimos remembered Simon's words and laughed bitterly.

"So, did I lose in the end?"

He gathered the last spies and began to do the final treatment of the bodies of these spies on the ground.

Not only to deal with the corpses, but also to deal with the dead who could not survive. He must not let the other party find any traces. This is the last thing he can do.

When Justinian brought the spies to the area where Anthimos was. There was only a pile of burning corpses left in the wilderness.

Fortunately, the fire was not big, and Justinian quickly organized the fire extinguishing to find some useful information.

However, the faces of these corpses were severely damaged, and there was nothing left on their bodies, so it was difficult to identify their identities.

After completing the cleaning and treatment of the scene, Justinian quickly rushed back to the camp and began to report to Selim what he had seen.

"Your Majesty, I haven't collected much useful information, but I think your judgment is completely correct.

Since we haven't found any useful information, we might as well forge evidence.

Anyway, the Phanar people must be the masterminds of this matter. We won't wrongly accuse them."

After listening to Justinian's report, Selim rubbed his eyebrows and added.

"Count the Greek family heads in it. The Sultan got into trouble in the place they chose. How can he not pay the price!

Forge evidence. This matter is doomed to end badly.

No matter who it is, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what method you use, Justinian, you must remember that anyone involved in this matter should be detained together."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Justinian took the order and left.

Looking at the back of the spy's head going away, Selim sneered.

"Whoever participated in this matter, I will kill his entire clan. Not even a dog can survive."

The guards on the side felt the Sultan's amazing murderous intent and shuddered.

While considering the follow-up, Selim was also reflecting that his behavior might be too radical.

This assassination made Selim more vigilant and determined not to leave Topkapi Palace except for necessary factors in the future.

That night, Justinian had arrested all the Fanars and Greek patriarchs living in the manor, and Simon was naturally among them.

The independent regiment led by Abdullah Pashas provided military support to Justinian.

These Fanars and Greek noble patriarchs knelt in front of Selim.

Looking at these damn guys, Selim felt that his murderous intent seemed to be gushing out.

The Greek chieftains were so scared that they dared not breathe. Only Simon on the side did not make such a gesture at this time. Instead, he collapsed on the ground as if he was already stupid.

It can be said that anyone can see who is the mastermind behind the scenes.

After a long silence, a Greek chieftain spoke.

"Your Majesty, we are..."

Before he finished speaking, Selim's scolding had arrived.

"Shut up, old man, you have no say in whether it is innocent or not, it depends on me!"

Some book friends may not understand why there is an assassination, but the Sultan actually has no base, because in the two hundred years after the death of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Sultan's power was divided too much, forming a large number of vested interest groups.

Selim's reform is actually to take back power, eliminate the nine, and create new ones. The only people he can unite are those who are willing to believe in him or those who are weak in their own strength.

If you still don't understand this logic, please leave a message to explain, I will open a separate chapter to explain it

Finally, I ask for follow-up reading and collection.
