Su Xiao walked out of the main entrance of the Holy Court. At this time, he had a knighthood on his chest, a duke!
As soon as Su Xiao walked down the steps, the imperial soldiers on both sides of the corridor raised their weapons and knelt down on one knee, their armors clashing with each other, full of momentum.
This kind of scene is also one of the reasons why people pursue power. No matter where they go, there are people in awe and some kneeling on the ground.
Su Xiao walked along the Yong Road, with Bubu Wang, Amu and Baha following behind him.
Just as we reached the end of the corridor, a carriage stopped there. There was a moon wolf emblem on the carriage and the door was open.
"Although we hate that old guy, we also believe in his vision."
Li Lin is sitting in the carriage. This upright Duke always puts the overall situation first.
Lao Yinbi is not necessarily a bad person. For example, Duke Li Lin is extremely ruthless in his actions, but most of the things he does are for the people and the empire. As for sometimes selfish desires, who would have no selfish desires at all?
There is a saying in the city of Arans that without Duke Li Lin, the empire will completely lose hope.
In fact, more than 30% of the officials will support Duke Li Lin to become the Holy King. As for the remaining 70% of the imperial officials, they have long been rotten.
Su Xiao got on the carriage. This time Baha glared at Eminem. Eminem sat next to the coachman a little aggrievedly. The coachman shivered and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
The carriage drove quickly outside the city of Arans. The carriage was pulled by two unicorns, whose speed was far beyond that of rhino horses.
In 20 minutes at most, the carriage drove out of the city of Arans, and in about half an hour, it arrived at a vineyard, which was the winery where the Duke of Angry Lion was killed.
The 'White Winery' has been surrounded by soldiers. It is conservatively estimated that there are tens of thousands of soldiers, some small officials or wealthy businessmen, gathered together, some of them have broken down in tears.
These people were crying from the bottom of their hearts. It was not about the depth of their friendship with Duke Lion, but that after spending a large sum of money to build a relationship, Duke Lion was dead. This meant that they had nothing. Some of them would
If they go bankrupt within a short period of time, some will be dismissed from office.
The soldiers made way for Su Xiao's carriage to pass. As soon as the carriage passed, the soldiers gathered together again and blocked the winery layer by layer.
The carriage stopped, and as soon as Su Xiao stepped out of the carriage, she smelled a faint sour smell. On the grape trellis not far away, the curled stems of the grapevines were all dry, and the bunches of grapes were gray-white.
Someone ingested the life force of plants in the nearby area in a short period of time and converted this life force into hallucinogenic gas. The gas will have a sour smell before it completely dissipates.
Su Xiao stood in front of the grape trellis and observed for a moment. Based on his combat experience, he could judge many things.
Following the gravel road of the winery, Su Xiao arrived in front of an old castle. The castle had been around for some time, and the outer walls had begun to weather, showing beautiful stone patterns.
The main door of the castle was wide open, and a figure lay inside the door. She looked like she was a maid.
Su Xiao stepped forward and immediately judged that the maid was not dead, but was knocked unconscious. With this kind of behavior, Su Xiao immediately thought that the assassin did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and was even willing to take additional risks for this.
Su Xiao's hand pressed on the back of the maid's neck. The maid's neck bones were not damaged or even misaligned. Judging from the damage to the subcutaneous soft tissue, the enemy's hand was not big.
Based on the size of this hand, the enemy is estimated to be about 157 to 163 meters tall and weigh no more than 50 kilograms. She is female.
Su Xiao could only judge this, Bubuwang stepped forward and took a sniff.
"Woof."
"Scent of roses?"
Su Xiao frowned. The current season in the empire is August, and roses bloom from May to June. How could a female assassin apply flower perfume on her body? Or maybe she touched it accidentally.
For women, if they have been to places where pollen is applied, the direction of the blow is slightly deviated. It is most likely that the waist is injured, which affects the force balance of the entire body.
In Su Xiao's mind, she not only thought of an injured female assassin who was hiding in a brothel in Arans City to recuperate from her injuries, but before the operation, she got some spices made from rose flowers on a prostitute.
"Cukulin, don't block us."
Mrs. Yuelang blinked at Su Xiao. Su Xiao didn't say anything, but walked towards the castle.
As soon as she entered the wine tasting room of the castle, Su Xiao smelled the strong smell of blood.
Pushing open the ajar door of the wine tasting room, an extremely cruel scene appeared.
A very strong corpse was hung up. There were more than a dozen holes in his chest. They were not blasted out, but pieces of flesh, flesh and organs were dug out by some kind of sharp weapon.
This is the Raging Lion Duke. A hole was also dug out in his head, and a large piece of his skull was pulled out.
Su Xiao stood obliquely underneath the corpse and observed it for a while, basically restoring the battle scene.
The Duke of Raging Lion stayed here last night. He is a man who loves to drink. He wanted to have a drink this morning, but was paralyzed by the poison in the wine and could not move. There were two assassins, one male and one female. The male was responsible for the assassination.
Women are responsible for bringing down the surrounding servants.
These two points were completed almost at the same time. From this, it can be judged that the two assassins were very familiar with the winery. In order to assassinate the Duke of the Raging Lion, they even did not hesitate to lurk here for several months, or even longer, and obtain the most basic information of the Duke of the Raging Lion.
trust in order to poison the wine.
"Duke Li Lin, if I guess correctly, there are two assassins, a man and a woman. They are servants or laborers in the winery. They have been working in the winery for at least several months. The two of them usually work in the winery.
There won’t be much contact. The men are thin and the women have left the winery recently and are injured. If they are dead soldiers, they will still stay in the winery and wait for other dukes to arrive, which means waiting for you and me to arrive.
, if they were not dead soldiers, they would most likely hide in..."
After Su Xiao briefly explained the situation, Duke Li Lin's eyes were full of doubts.
"In this case, I will send someone to search."
Duke Li Lin replied politely, in fact, he did not think that the assassin could be found so easily.
However, a few minutes later, there were roars coming from outside the castle, followed by a loud bang.
"Looks like he's a dead soldier."
Su Xiao waved her hand and threw out a small piece of ceramic shard. The hemp rope hanging the Duke of Angry Lion broke and his body fell to the ground with a thud.
The sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and several soldiers rushed into the castle from the main entrance. They were all holding long weapons. Seven long weapons pierced the body of a woman and lifted her up. The woman was already on the verge of death.
And around the woman's waist, there is a bandage stained with blood. This is the female assassin.
"How, maybe, why."
The female assassin murmured, she was already extremely weak, and she still had three sharp awls stuck in her body, which restricted her ability to control the energy in her body. She couldn't figure out why she had laid out a plan for half a year, and was discovered just halfway through the implementation, and
They even knew their physical signs, and more importantly, they also knew that she was injured.
The female assassin, with blood on her face and a dim look in her eyes, firmly believed that there must be a mole, otherwise it would never be like this.
Li Lin and Mrs. Yue Lang turned their gazes to Su Xiao at the same time. Li Lin still remained serious, but his ugly face showed how bad his mood was at this time.
Thinking about it, Li Lin and Mrs. Yuelang had just restrained an old fox, but who knew, a more terrifying guy was released now, and the assassin was found out in less than 10 minutes.
