Volume 4 Chapter 45 Assassin Trail
Jacob, the consul of the Governorate of Albania stationed in Cannabela, has had an extremely bad life for the past six months.
In the waters near Cannabella, in the past two years, piracy has been rampant, and it is almost mad, and even the official ship dares to hijack, and I heard that the eldest princess was kidnapped and demanded ransom from the kingdom, which is really bold.
As a consul in charge of commerce and trade, Jacob is extremely depressed, his own strength is not low, but he is a real civil department chief, with nearly 100 people under his command, most of them are civilian officials, in the face of the vast sea, how to find the pirate's lair, everyone has thought a lot, but as soon as they discuss the implementation, everyone begins to shake their heads, this is not good, that is not good.
The pirates off the coast of the Soviet Union should be within the jurisdiction of the Soviet ** team, but now the civilian officials of Albania have to worry about it, without him, piracy is rampant, the sea route is restricted, and the most serious loss is not the Soviet Union, but Albania.
Albania is located in the cold zone, not suitable for the growth of crops, backward agriculture, can not meet the grain needs of its own people at all, every year from the large grain producing countries of the Soviet Union, three successive grain convoys have been hijacked, domestic grain prices have risen, has affected the people's livelihood.
For the pirates who hid their tracks on the sea, the Soviet ** team, which had a regular army of less than 40,000 people, was really strong-hearted, but not strong.
Jacob originally planned to do it himself, with a few guards, pretending to be caught, and then notify the Su ** team after finding the lair.
But can the officials agree to it? or even stop it to death, the top person in charge of trade in the Cannabella region must not take this risk!
I can't go myself, so the guards can go, right?
That's not good, the escort force of the Elba Mansion, counting the guards hired on the periphery, is full of thirty-four people, and it is already overstretched, how many people are appropriate to send out?
Even if they are not killed, how long will it take for one or two people to find out where the pirate's lair is?
Seventeen or eighteen people are too many, not to mention so many, just go up to ten, and the rest of the guards have to be divided into two shifts, and even a few doors of the Elba Mansion are not enough to even make up the doormen.
The question of how many people to send out is appropriate, and the results have not yet been discussed, and two pieces of news have been sent from China, which makes him even more anxious.
One is the official announcement of the royal palace, one of the national treasures, the mermaid's tears, the theft, the thieves fled from Goral by boat, and the next destination is most likely Cannabella, if the thieves are found, the thieves' fleet will be seized immediately.
What thieves? Even have a fleet?
Another piece of news is a letter sent by a close friend of the same palace official in his private name, the letter is long-winded, sour and long, but it has no more than two meanings.
First, Yacob, you're in trouble! Haha, seeing your anxious appearance, Ben Shao is extremely satisfied! Lin is going to find the little prince of Lan Kingdom with mermaid tears! Whether you offend the future Emperor of Heaven, or pretend not to see it, you can do it yourself!
Second, next year, my best friend's son will be twelve, and my beloved daughter will be eleven years old.
After reading the letter, Jacob couldn't help but laugh.
Do you want to offend the future Emperor of Heaven or not?
The little prince of Lan Guo Zhong Shi has a good reputation among the people of Lan State, and it is very likely that he will be the next Emperor of Heaven, but the eldest prince who can control the army, will he be able to ascend the throne smoothly? The second prince Kaharu and the third prince Shan Da also have their own advantages, and judging from the current situation, anyone can become the emperor of heaven.
Before Jacob could think about this problem clearly, Shi Da, the supreme director of the Soviet Foreign Affairs Department, sent someone to send a message that according to reliable information, the Emperor of Heaven had been assassinated!
The Emperor of Heaven was assassinated?
The Emperor of Heaven, that is, the king of the land of Lan, they are used to calling the king the emperor of heaven, this is a tradition thousands of years ago, the country of Lan has been handed down, and gradually the people of the Su country and the people of Albania also call the king of the country of Lan the emperor of heaven.
To make matters worse, the assassin who assassinated the Emperor of Heaven fled to the territory of the Soviet State!
The envoys of the four princes of the Lan State successively found the diplomats of the Soviet State, some of them asked the Su State to hand over the assassin, and some of them asked the Su State to catch the assassin, but they must be alive and able to speak.
The difference between this disagreement comes from the competition for the position of the Emperor of Heaven, which side of the assassin belongs to, a living assassin is definitely worth far more than a dead person, and of course, a living assassin is far more threatening than a dead person.
It has been a period of time since the Lan Kingdom and the Su State and the Elbanian Kingdom have completely stopped exchanges, what is the situation in the Lan State, everyone in the Su State and the Elbania State is in the clouds, and the Su State can only vaguely agree to the requests of several envoys before the situation is not clear, and actively cooperate with the arrest of the assassins.
As for whether the assassin will stay alive or be killed on the spot, it depends on the game between the four princes on the side of Lan Kingdom.
As a staunch ally of the Soviet Union, Albania is naturally obligated to do so, and after Jacob received the news, he immediately released the news in the intelligence network to track down the traces of the assassins.
Princess Celine's fleet has never heard from her, but the news of the assassins has come one after another.
The assassin who assassinated the Emperor of Heaven finally escaped into an underground ruin in the eastern mountain range of Kendil, where there were many monsters and extremely powerful.
The three brigades of the Yunlin Army and most of the Mountain Navy controlled the ruins, but the further the ruins went, the stronger the monsters became, and now they lacked high-end combat power and could not attack the bottom of the ruins.
Although the consul of Jacob's Governor's Mansion is a civil official, he is also a well-known veteran near-god, although he is trapped in the beginner-level near-god and cannot go further, but he is also a near-god, and he can't afford to miss him.
All parties have been contacted, and tomorrow Jacob will set off, go to the underground ruins, and form a high-combat team with several generals of the Yunlin Army, attack the bottom layer, and capture the assassins.
Dangdangdang.
Secretary Liu knocked on the door three times, looked at the consul of Jacob's Governor's Mansion and said, "Sir, there are two guests outside the door who want to see you......"
"No, no!" Jacob picked up the messy paper on the table and looked at the paper on the table, "Don't you see that I'm busy! You go and tell Xiao Sun to leave tomorrow." ”
"Yes. Secretary Liu replied yes, and said, "They said that there are extremely important things that must be handed over to the chief by hand." ”
Jacob threw all the papers in his hand into the trash and said, "Okay, please let them in." ”
A man and a woman, under the leadership of Secretary Liu, walked into Jacob's office, Jacob looked up at the two, new faces, never seen before, and said, "Sorry, you see, I'm busy, I can only give you five minutes......"
The woman spoke: "You don't have to be polite, sir, half a minute is enough." ”
As she spoke, the woman approached Jacob's desk, put a small thing in her hand on the desk, and then turned and walked out the door: "Let's go." ”
The man in the office had not yet sat down, and followed the woman out of the office.
Jacob was a little surprised, this pair of men and women is really interesting, they don't talk in the slightest, and they finish the matter without even introducing who they are?
Jacob finally raised his head, the man and woman had already left, and Secretary Liu had also gone out, and when he saw a small Erlenmeyer bottle on the table, he suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Reaching out and taking it, there was a layer of transparent liquid at the bottom of the bottle, I don't know what it was, Jacob smiled, what could this be an important thing, shook it casually, and put it aside.
But as he shook, the liquid in the bottle seemed to come to life, no longer lying at the bottom of the bottle like a liquid, but twisting into a ball, slamming left and right in the bottle, Jacob was suddenly shocked, and quickly got up from the chair and shouted out of the door: "Xiao Liu!
Secretary Liu had just sent the two guests out, and when he came back, he heard the chief shouting to him, and hurriedly ran over, and before she could speak, Jacob said loudly: "
What about people?"
Secretary Liu was a little confused, so he pointed to the door, "Let's go!"
Jacob immediately rushed towards the gate, and at the same time shouted to the doorman, "Chase!
This man and a woman are none other than Wulian and Ye Ya, who returned to Cannabella City.
After inviting the two guests back to the office and introducing each other, Secretary Liu brought tea and exited the office, and Jacob asked, "I don't know how Miss Wulian got the mermaid's tears?"
Wu Lian smiled: "Jacob's Mansion is very busy, my story is very long, do you want to hear simple or detailed?"
Jacob suddenly became big and laughed at himself: "How can a day of blind busyness compare to listening to a good story?"
Wu Lian took Miao Xiaodao boring, took the commission of Mi Li Shande, and inadvertently heard about Princess Celine from the mouth of the pirate, and pursued Princess Celine all the way, looking for the Crystal of the Moon, and helping Princess Celine recover her body, one by one, just concealing Princess Celine's whereabouts, which is a secret that Ulian promised Celine to keep.
Jacob was surprised when he heard this, it turned out that the pirate's lair, right under their noses, was only three hundred miles away from Cannabella in a straight line, even if it went around from the bottom of the mountain, it would definitely not exceed seven hundred miles, and if the lair was found, it would be much easier, just notify the army......
No, this pirate is not guilty of death, and it also has a life-saving grace for the eldest princess, so let's go there myself.
Jacob knew that in the past, pirates were kept in the cabin where they did not see the light of day, and when they arrived at the location, they were allowed to come out and stay in the cabin, and where they could know, where they departed, where they went, and all, the pirates' lair has always been a mystery.
But Miao Xiaodao this time, took away a whole nineteen cargo ships, more than three hundred people, the nest was exposed, and the tiger shark immediately packed up his belongings and ran away after Miao Xiaodao left!
After learning more about what happened and knowing that Princess Celine was fine, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief.
He watched the eldest princess grow up, and he loved this princess very much, and he also knew the relationship between her and the fourth prince of Lan Kingdom, and muttered: "I hope she can be happy......"
This voice is extremely small, but Jacob and Wu Lian and Ye Ya are sitting in front of the same coffee table, everyone is close to the gods, this sentence was naturally heard by Wu Lian and Ye Ya, Wu Lian was a little surprised, could it be that the matter between Celine and Zhong Shi, this chief knows? So he asked, "Does the Governor know?"
"Huh?" Jacob pretended to be stupid, "No, no, I'm talking to myself." ”
Jacob, as the consul of the Exarchate, had the power to award Elba's fourth-class orders, namely Elba's Order of the Eighth Class, Elba's Seventh Class, Elba's Medal of the Sixth, and Elba's Order of the Fifth Class, but Jacob never thought that he would have the opportunity to exercise this power when he was an official of Cannabella.
This department is full of civil officials, who can get the Warrior's Medal among the Warriors? If you want to issue it, you must also issue it to yourself, so when he left the country, Jacob did not bring a medal.
That night, Jacob took the three Elba Seventh-Class Medals that he had rushed to work, and awarded the medals to Wu Lian, Ye Ya, and Miao Xiaodao.
Ulian resolutely refused to hold a banquet, and Jacob had to go to the underground ruins early tomorrow morning, so everything was simple.
"Sir, what are you doing over there?" Hearing that Jacob was leaving Canabella early tomorrow morning, Miao Xiaodao asked, "Isn't it a monument?"
"What a trip!" Jacob likes this group of young people very much, they are all extremely bold people, they don't speak like officials beating around the bush, they have something to say, they will never hold back their words in their hearts and make themselves sad, Jacob also spoke crisply and neatly, "There is a fugitive who has run inside, no one has been in it for hundreds of years, and there are many powerful monsters, Yun Linjun asked me to go over and help." ”
Seeing Miao Xiaodao's eyes glow, Wu Lian's eyes glared angrily, and Ye Ya couldn't help but raise his forehead.
