"What's the news?"

Anthony heard the commotion, confessed to several nobles, and walked over to this side.

Several nobles had nothing to do and followed.

The robber was tall and muscular, with muscles all over his body, and a sense of strength.

It's a pity that his body, hands, and face are covered with scars, and he looks quite embarrassed. In addition, after all, he was defeated and surrendered, and his expression was inevitably depressed and lonely, which greatly damaged his tough guy image.

He glanced stealthily in Anthony's direction, and said to Arlena in a bit of panic, "I can tell you the news, but you must also promise to let me go freely after receiving this important news, and never to pursue what I did today." ”

The demand to exchange an important piece of information for one's own freedom is reasonable.

But Princess Arlina didn't speak, and none of the others spoke, and everyone turned their eyes to Anthony on the side.

Anthony looked the man up and down, and suddenly asked, "You were the one who shouted surrender just now, right?" ”

Although he said a questioning sentence, his tone was very affirmative and could not be questioned.

"Yes."

This man is the big man. He didn't expect that the person in charge of the mission was not Her Royal Highness Princess Arlinna, but this young man who looked to be less than 20 years old. And looking at the natural reactions of other people, it shows the affirmation and recognition of this young man. I didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and hurriedly answered.

Anthony bowed slightly, then asked, "Where are you from?" What did you do before you fell into the grass? ”

The big boss was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know how to answer.

Of course, he won't answer, but the question is can he tell the truth?

The few nobles behind Anthony didn't expect him to ask this question, and their expressions were quite uneasy.

Anthony smiled.

He's got the answer he's looking for.

In fact, no matter how the big boss answers, Anthony is the wind in his ears. Anyway, no matter what he says, it will definitely not be the truth. What Anthony wants to know is not the content of his answers, but his responses.

If the big boss can come up with an answer that makes sense, Anthony might still look up to him and the master behind him.

But now......

"You said you had important news to tell us, now you can say it."

The big boss glanced at Anthony nervously, then at Princess Arlina, and said hesitantly: "That, you haven't promised me yet......"

Anthony smiled freely: "I don't know what your news is, how do you want me to promise you?" Do you want me to let you go when you tell me the so-called important news that 'the sun rises in the east and sets in the west'? Do you yourself say that this is possible? ”

The crowd around him laughed when he heard him say it funny.

The big boss was anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand to argue: "No, it's not like this!" This news of mine is absolutely important, and it is related to the life and safety of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

Perhaps he was really anxious, and the big boss said as he walked forward, wanting to get closer to Princess Arlina and the others.

"Stop!"

The Azure Sword Saint took half a step forward and shouted in a low voice. There was a dangerous light in his eyes that was like substance, which made the big boss's face ache. His right hand had touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The big boss was taken aback, and quickly stopped, not daring to make any extra moves.

Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly, and the gentle smile on his face was long gone.

"Say, as long as your disappearance is really valuable, I promise to let you go freely. But if you dare to deceive and tease us...... You can imagine what the consequences would be. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain understands, the villain understands! ”

The big boss didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly got to the point

"A few days ago, the villain overheard the news that someone was planning to assassinate Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so as to conflict between the nobles of Hanover and even the entire province and the royal family."

Anthony and Arlina looked at each other.

Aristocrat! There is no doubt that if anyone were to assassinate Arlena, it would be some nobleman from Hanover.

The upper undercurrents of the Hannover province are surging and complex and abnormal. Some of the nobility were deeply skeptical that the Glorious Empire would be able to withstand a powerful invasion by the Riga Empire. Therefore, according to the consistent rules of survival of the nobles, it is obviously a normal choice to bet the chips on the side of the future victor in advance.

There are not many such families, and even some nobles with considerable strength and status have joined the ranks.

The prosperity and wide influence of this trend was already an open secret in the upper aristocratic circles of Hanover.

The reason why no one has yet come forward to take some concrete action that is too drastic is simply because the supreme authority in the province of Hanover, the Grand Duke of Smois, has not yet made an official statement.

But in the eyes of these anti-emperors, the matter is already obvious. Sooner or later, the Grand Ducal Palace will raise the banner of rebellion, as Taranto and the province of Brussels.

If Princess Arina had been assassinated at this time while leading a delegation to Hanover Province to inspect preparations for war, Archduke Smowa would have been inextricably linked, regardless of the cause of the incident.

In this way, the Grand Duke's Palace has no choice but to throw itself into the rebel army without hesitation.

What a poisonous plan!

The news of the big boss is not over yet, he leans forward, looking like he is biting his ears and telling secrets.

It's just that I'm afraid of causing a misunderstanding of Caton, but I don't dare to move forward a little bit under my feet, which looks a little funny.

"The villain also found out that the mastermind behind the assassination plan is a powerful nobleman in our Hannover province."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forward.

"Moreover, he is now among these noble lords!"

Everyone was guided by his words, and they all involuntarily turned their heads to look in the direction where the third young master and other nobles were.

If it is said that the most powerful nobles, except for the Grand Duke of Smowa, the others are already concentrated here.

Although Caton also followed his words, his eyes drifted to that side. But he has always paid attention to the expression and movements of the big boss. While his eyes moved, he already sensed that something was wrong in his heart.

It's fingers!

Or rather, the arm, the bandit's arm is pointing in the wrong direction!

He was talking about the nobles, but his hand was not pointing that way, but at Princess Arlinna!

There's something wrong with this man!

When the alarm sounded in the heart of the Caton Sword Saint, a bright light lit up from the hands of the great master, and shot towards Arina like lightning.

For this blow, the big boss can be said to have exhausted the organs.

On the grounds of exchanging information for freedom, he was given the opportunity to meet the princess; Seeing every opportunity to get close to Princess Arlina, even after being ordered to stop by the Sword Master, he still leaned forward as much as possible; In the end, he pointed the black finger at the nobleman on the side and diverted everyone's attention, and then launched the fatal blow.

According to the big boss, this blow is nine out of ten. Don't say that Princess Arlina is just a weak magician, even if she is a fighter with a good martial arts realm, in the face of such a sudden but sharp blow, she can only die on the spot.

It's a pity that his vision is really not clever, and there is a fatal flaw in the plan.

Princess Arlina really didn't react, and even if she did, she couldn't resist or dodge with her cultivation.

However, there are top powerhouses in the martial arts realm around her who are far more than "not bad".

And there's more than one!

There was a crisp "ding", and a blue curtain of light flashed in front of Yalina. Then something unknown was knocked out.

With one blow to the flying hidden weapon, the Caton Sword Master who shot was not a little proud—such an opponent really had nothing to be proud of—but let out a light "huh".

After the blue light curtain vanished, a circular light mask with a faint milky white glow appeared out of thin air, protecting Arlina inside.

Caton glanced at Anthony and smiled.

"You kid isn't slow!"

Although he couldn't see the origin of this round light mask, with the intuition formed by years of fighting, he had keenly sensed that this thing might not be simple.

Anthony shook his head slightly: "It seems that I am a little bit bigger, that secret weapon is very powerful, and my protective shield may not be able to resist it." Fortunately, there is a Sword Master. ”

What a strength the Azure Sword Saint is, the hidden weapon was sturdy by him, and it was actually just bounced out, not cut in two, and it was obviously not an ordinary thing.

Seeing him blame himself, Arina hurriedly distinguished the boy: "It's okay, they can't hurt me, I still have a stand-in puppet......"

"Ahem!" Anthony interrupted Arlina with a sudden sharp cough.

The Caton Sword Saint looked at the two of them with a strange expression, and smiled helplessly. Apparently Anthony also knew what Arlina was trying to say, and hurriedly interrupted under the pretense of coughing.

"My Royal Highness Princess, you don't have to worry, this kid is just being modest. When have you ever seen him act so recklessly and unreliable? Not to mention that it's at stake for your safety. I bet he wouldn't have prepared a three- or five-trick move, I'd swallow the sword along with the scabbard. ”

Lord Sword Saint sighed in his heart, even the life-saving hole cards such as the stand-in puppet necklace have been revealed to the young man and the plate, it seems that Her Royal Highness Princess Arlina is also "a female princess".

His gaze was like lightning, and he instantly scanned the audience. Seeing that everyone seemed to be stunned by the change just now, and Arlina deliberately lowered her voice just now, no one should have heard what she just said.

After all, it is the ultimate life-saving hole card, and naturally the less people know it, the better.

"Tang Feng."

Anthony whispered as he gestured to the big boss over there.

Tang Feng responded: "Yes!" ”

The person was brought by him Tang Feng, and that person actually tried to assassinate Princess Yalina, and he bears unshirkable responsibility for this matter. Although the leader didn't mean to blame him, he couldn't easily forgive himself.

I saw him wave his hand, and several soldiers in his hand immediately surrounded the big boss.

The big boss was not afraid, as if he did not see the murderous hoplites, but laughed arrogantly.

"Hahahaha! Don't be complacent, the master will avenge me. You can't beat my great Charlton family, and we'll see you again in hell soon. Hahaha! ”

Without waiting for the others to react, a round-faced nobleman beside the third young master had already jumped up, and all of his manners and demeanor were thrown into an unknown corner.

"You talk nonsense! You're not from our Charlton family at all. ”

The round-faced aristocracy was so angry and anxious that they even forgot each other's identities, and they stepped forward to confront the big boss's theory.

But before he could take two steps, the laughter of the big boss was already coming. A stream of black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and the whole person staggered, and finally fell to the ground, never moving again.
