Chapter 359: The Night of the Murder in the Wind and Snow (I)
Since the old fox came to the Tarona steppe, the operation of the entire intelligence network has suddenly become much smoother, from the initial confusion to the current sudden enlightenment, it only took two or three days, which shows how powerful this "old fox" is.
Moreover, under the arrangement of the old fox Leon, the coverage area of the intelligence network quickly spread around, and in just a few days, it was far beyond the established range of Dylan at the beginning.
This is thanks to the arrival of the Moore family, except for White Moore, who has been unwilling to hide in the dark to collect information since he was a child, almost all members of the Moore family have experience in intelligence gathering.
In other words, the old fox Leon is equivalent to bringing a team with him, and they are all veterans of intelligence gathering, which saves Dylan too much trouble!
Because of this, when the new king of Fulong City learned that the Moore family had absconded, he was very anxious! He also ordered the Moore family to be held hostage and not let them out of his control.
But how experienced was the "old fox"? He was a prophet of almost all his actions, and he had received a lot of news in advance, so that he was well prepared before the new king's order was given.
All kinds of dramas were staged one by one, making the new king more lax with their family, and then the sudden disappearance of the whole family.
It is precisely because of so many years of intelligence work that he has become extremely sensitive and alert, and he can feel the slightest disturbance!
Some people describe the old fox like this, saying that as long as he hears a wisp of autumn wind, he knows how many fallen leaves will be in the imperial capital overnight, although this statement is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows from the side that his fame is indeed very great!
In the former imperial capital city, there are two people who are particularly well-informed, one is Sophie, the "ear of the wind", who died suddenly not long ago, but most of his news is some gossip or insider information among some palace courtiers, and it is generally not a secret, but more can know these information before others.
But Leon the old fox was completely different, he didn't have any interest in the gossip, not that he couldn't find out, but he didn't want to waste his energy on things that didn't make sense!
The information controlled by Leon was all imperial secrets, many of which were related to military intelligence and some secrets of royal affairs, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know these news.
After the old fox took over the intelligence network on Tarona's side, Dylan instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and every day he didn't need to bother much, there would be a lot of secret letters delivered to him.
As small as Tarona, how many of the Garneman's sentinels were killed in a single day!
Even a lot of messages from the Garneman Empire, which had arrived with the caravan, would be sent to Dylan with them.
And Dylan did not guess wrong, those guards who were requisitioned back to the Central Plains were all sent to the area of the Demon Beast Mountains, and the gates of hell were obviously moving again.
It can be said that Dylan can almost know what is happening every day in the Tarona Prairie and the Garhman Empire, and this is the old fox's ability!
Dylan doesn't even need to give orders, the old fox Leon can make the best choice for him, and he is extremely efficient without the slightest delay!
This made Dylan feel more and more that being able to get such a spy leader as Leon was really comparable to picking up a priceless treasure!
Therefore, after not worrying about the operation of the Tarona intelligence network, Dylan put more attention on studying the magic of the space-time system.
However, even so, Dylan's progress in the research of space-time magic is not fast, because space-time magic is too difficult to control.
And before Dylan was able to completely control this magic, he didn't dare to rashly introduce the space-time elements into his body, and only dared to control them outside his body, because he was afraid that once this element entered his body, he would lose control and his life would be in danger at that time.
Therefore, until he was completely sure, he did not want to borrow the Codex "Fusion" for the time being, so that two different elements could exist in his body at the same time.
In his free time, he will continue to build more storage, as such void containers will become increasingly scarce as trade routes continue to grow.
......
As the days passed, two months later, autumn slowly faded and the cold of winter grew stronger.
The Tarona grassland has reached a period of relative scarcity, because the forage grass in winter is relatively scarce, so the growth rate of cattle and sheep will gradually slow down.
In the past, the winters in the Tarona savannah would be difficult, not only because of the cold and humid climate, there was not enough charcoal fire for heating, but also because the food would become extremely tight, because the milk production of cattle and sheep would become scarce.
In the cold winter, the Gudal people need to rely on a lot of high-calorie food to maintain their body temperature.
But this year, the situation was completely different, because of the establishment of trade routes, almost every tribe stockpiled enough supplies, not only to have enough food, but also to have enough charcoal for heating.
For the Goodale people, the winter of the year was the least of their worries.
Although they traded out a lot of fine war horses, but in the spring of the next year, the horses can still slowly develop and live, and they don't have to worry too much about the number.
This basically achieves a win-win situation for both parties, and both sides get what they need.
With the arrival of winter, the Tarona savannah ushered in its first heavy snowfall!
This heavy snowfall came very suddenly, almost overnight, covering the entire grassland with a thick white "quilt".
The temperature on the grassland also dropped to the lowest point at once.
The night was hazy, windy and snowy.
At a trading point above the Tarona trade line, in one of the humble tents, the old fox Leon was sorting out the information he had just received.
At that moment, a cold wind blew in from outside the tent, carrying a large amount of snow chips, and blowing the brazier into a burst of sparks.
Leon couldn't help but squint his eyes, because the wind and snow made his eyes ache.
But at this moment, his left ear moved slightly, and he heard a strange sound, and he leaned down almost instinctively, so that his body was pressed to the ground at once.
As soon as he lay down, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and something seemed to fly over his head.
He instantly understood that he had been assassinated!
"It really took some thought to choose to do it on a snowy night!" Leon thought to himself, but his right hand quickly touched his waist, where two short daggers hung there!
