Vigovsky, Bao Hong and hilko are surrounded in a triangle. A body lay in front of the three.


    Bogdan Popovich. The old man of the Cossack, the strongest supporter of Yuri hemelinitsky, was lying on the cold ground. His throat was cut open with a sharp blade. But before the sharp blade cut his throat, he was actually dead. Popovich got three bullets in his body and two hit his heart.


    The crucifixion of Jesus on the church altar looked at this scene, and the stone eyes of Christ fell on the body, full of compassion.


    It was three ordinary Cossacks who killed Bogdan Popovich. According to the bystanders present, when they killed Popovich, the three shouted, "the chief should be elected, and it is not in line with the tradition that Bogdan hemelinitsky appointed Yuri to succeed." "Popovich is Yuri hemelinitsky''s accomplice and traditional destroyer." "they want to kill Bogdan Popovich to maintain the tradition."


    Three young Cossacks assassinated Popovich while he prayed. They succeeded, and Popovich was almost killed unprepared - although Popovich was aware of the tense situation in Kiev and the increase of guards, he did not expect that someone would kill in the church.


    "Popovich''s death is a bad start," vikovski shook his head and sighed.


    That''s what I said, and that''s what vikovsky thought.


    When wegovsky said this, Bao Hong was livid and silent. After a while, Bao Hong looked at hilko.


    Feeling Bao Hong''s eyes, Ivan hilko was a little unbearable. He argued loudly, "I didn''t order it! I can swear in the name of God."


    Hilko''s gaffe was really because the three killers came from the team of Colonel lukiyan mezira, who was close to him. Just three days ago, Colonel lukiyan mezira shouted to give Popovich some color to see.


    Now many people suspect that hilko planned and ordered lukiyan mezira to appoint three men to carry out the murder.


    After the murder, lukiyan mezira was tied up by angry Cossacks. He has not been torn to pieces by Popovich''s supporters, all because vikovski and Bao Hong arrived at the right time.


    As if to respond to hilko, a loud cry came from outside the church: "hand over Ivan hilko, we want justice!"


    Those who shouted were the officers and soldiers of Bogdan Popovich''s team. They were holding weapons and angrily asked vigovsky and Bao Hong to hand over the behind the scenes murderers.


    Several elected representatives walked into the church. There were thousands of Cossacks behind them, so they spoke boldly and shouted at the three teams: "leaders, League brothers, I hope you can give them an answer as soon as possible."


    "Bao Hong, my league brother, I''m really not a murderer! Believe me, I don''t know the people who do such things. Who knows what they are! That kind of people only spit on their faces and throw them in


    "Fake, fake! It''s all fake! This letter is fake. I haven''t written such a letter at all. No, I don''t want to kill Popovich brothers at all. Bao Hong, Bao Hong, my brother, help me, help me!"


    Seeing that Bao Hong also began to doubt himself, hilko was completely flustered. He grabbed his hair with both hands and tried to argue white.


    But just now he said he believed in Bao Hong of hilko. He didn''t speak this time.


    Peter doroshenko stood behind vikovsky and looked coldly at hilko at the end of the road. He would come forward and lift hilko to the angry Cossacks outside as long as the clerk looked at him.


    But just then, vikovski said something that surprised Peter doroshenko: "I now believe that hilko will not do such a thing. Because this letter is forged."


    Hilko and Peter doroshenko looked at vikovski in disbelief. The former was because he didn''t expect that the guy who didn''t deal with himself didn''t fall into the well and help himself; the latter


    "Vikovski, why do you say that?" Bao Hong asked.


    "It''s easy to think of it, Bao Hong." vigovsky explained: "both hilko and lukiyan are in Kiev. If they want to plot, it''s better to go to another person''s house alone. Why write a letter? Isn''t it unnecessary? So I think someone must have planted a frame. It can be seen that lukiyan may also be innocent."


    Hilko never thought that vikovski would help himself get rid of his crime, and even save lukiyan.


    Vigovsky watched hilko and Bao Hong make a helpless move. He explained his motivation and said, "don''t look at me like this. Although I have different political views from hilko, I won''t allow the Cossack captain to be framed and die in his own hands."


    Hilko gritted his teeth and said, "vikovsky, I owe you a favor."


    The debt to vikovsky made hilko feel like eating fly shit. But the situation was better than people.


    Bao Hong rarely showed admiration.


    "Who do you think killed Popovich and framed hilko?"


    "If I knew who he was, I would hang him myself." hilko made a vicious gesture with his left fist.


    "I don''t know," wigowski shook his head. He said: "and compared with this, I think the most important thing now is to convene the Rada conference and elect the new chief of Cossacks. We can''t let the chaos continue like this, otherwise no one knows whether you and I will become the next Popovich."


    Wigowski is telling the truth. The Cossacks in Kiev split up because of Bogdan hemelinitsky''s will before his death. Some people (mainly Bogdan hemelinitsky''s comrades in arms and old Cossacks) claimed that hemelinitsky''s will was invalid and that Cossacks should elect big chiefs according to tradition; The other part (mainly the newcomers promoted by Bogdan hemelinitsky) advocated to act according to the will of the great chief and let Yuri ascend the throne; Others remain neutral. In the past few days, not only did Cossacks with different political views constantly fight in the streets because of disagreement, but also the residences of the Swedish ambassador, the Russian ambassador and the Polish Ambassador were impacted. A group of drunken Cossacks who hated poles even rushed into the Swedish Embassy and seriously wounded Magnus de la Gardier.


    Vikovski''s words are realistic and in line with Baohong and hilko''s wishes. Moreover, with Popovich''s death, the last obstacle to holding the LADA conference to re elect the great chief has been removed. So they have no objection.


    Peter doroshenko looked at vikovsky with some admiration. Through Popovich''s death, he not only made hilko and lukiyan owe themselves, but also began to control the situation of the talks.


    Just listen to vikovsky say to Bao Hong again: "I think we''ll save hilko and lukiyan merzilla together. People outside will believe it. But you can see that there are tens of thousands of restless Cossacks in Kiev. It''s like a powder keg. As long as a spark falls, it will cause a big explosion. We extinguished one today, but we can''t guarantee the second and third. Since we choose the big chief It''s the will of the people, so I think we should comply with the public opinion. But I don''t think it''s suitable to hold the election of a new chief in Kiev. "


    Bao Hong asked, "where do you think it is appropriate?"


    Vikovsky''s lips gently spit a word: "Xie Qi."


    Hilko and Bao Hong looked at each other. They didn''t expect that vikovsky would choose the place for the meeting.


    However, they soon figured out why vikovski chose shevchi, which was unexpected and reasonable.


    Because Shechem is indeed the most suitable place, and it is of great significance to zaporoze Cossacks.


    Zaporozhian is mainly derived from Ukrainian, порож (Borges) means "stone beach", запорож It means beyond the stone beach, which is transliterated in English as "zaborore". The traditional zaborore area is from the pan Ukrainian prairie to the Crimean Khanate. In a narrow sense, it is only the areas on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Dnieper River.


    When the vast majority of the Cossacks in Ukraine were engaged in agricultural farming in a large number of rural towns, zaporoze Cossacks were already a paramilitary group. They had their own base camp, which was Xie Qi.


    Moreover, in 1648, Bogdan hemelinitsky expelled the registered Cossack head appointed by the Republic here, defeated the registered Cossack team of Qi Jilin who came to the rescue, instigated all the registered Cossacks to fall to the insurgents, turned the muzzle of the gun and fired the first shot against the poles. It can be said that Xie Qi is of great significance to the Cossacks.


    What''s better is that Sheqi, located on the stone beach in the center of the river, was left behind by governor Pavlo gomon after the capital of the Kazakh emirate Kiev. Pavlo gomon is a fair man and a neutral position. There he maintains order and carries out elections, which can ensure that everyone will not repeat Popovich''s mistakes.


    "OK, thank you," Bao Hong said.


    "I agree, but all regiment captains and company captains'' guards must stay on the other side," agreed hilko, but he added a condition.


    "Yes," wigowski said with a smile.


    Then the three discussed some other issues.


    About half an hour later, just as the meeting between the three was drawing to a close, the church door was pushed open from the outside.
