Chapter 712: Speculation
Can a person live with their trachea cut?
If Lin An had been there, she would have told the others that there was a way to save itβat least much more than the deputy envoy who committed suicide by stabbing it in the heart.
But no one who saw Perret spurting more than a foot of blood from his throat and falling with a hideous face would not think he was saved.
Only when Leinster saw this scene, he immediately rushed forward in a few steps, and before the others next to Pere were too late to stop him, he came to the side of the envoy, grabbed a green bottle in his hand and poured it down on the neck of the envoy, so deep that the wound that exposed the trachea tendon and almost saw the bone, and closed it at a speed visible to the naked eye!
However, the slightly chubby Pere was still clutching his neck, his mouth was wide open, his face was bruised, and Lenster suddenly felt a black shadow flickering above his head, and a strange black-robed old man dressed in eyes appeared next to them, and looked down:
"Choked on blood into my trachea."
He stretched out his long, dry and slender fingers to the neck of Perret's envoy, and the fatal wound on his neck had basically healed, revealing a hard object in the middle of the sunken skin, slowly moving upward.
Finally, Perret was rolling over and coughing violently, squirting out a lot of fluid and blood clots from his nose and mouth!
"Alright, send His Highness Jupiter back."
Pere was about to cough and faint, but his chest was already rising and falling normally, and the words of the strange black-robed old man made the surrounding ceremonial officers and guards feel like they had been pardoned.
After the old man finished speaking, he ignored the guards who were full of joy and hurriedly diverted Perre's envoy, and turned his attention to the deputy envoy with a dagger in his chest, his face was bruised with poison, and his pupils were obviously dilated.
"It's hopeless, it's not mentally controlled."
After the old man finished speaking, he ignored the deputy envoy, and his eyes fell on Lancet, who was still wearing a long cloak, a placket, and a blood-red hand, revealing a hint of appreciation:
Perret was assassinated one step slower than Charles when he was distracted. Although it was only for a short moment, the deputy envoy had the opportunity to assassinate.
There are many princes of Perre, there are eight of them. is making the succession to the throne of Prince Jupiter not up or down, ranking fourth. But after all, he is a prince, and now he represents the royal family and the Pere Empire, and the old man has already lost face to the old man by watching him be assassinated during the official exchange of state gifts, and then letting Jupiter die under his eyelids is a naked slap in the face for the old man.
"Thank you for your help. Grand Duke Stuart! What kind of potion are you using, and what kind of potion are you using, I have never seen any kind of healing agent that has such an immediate effect on detoxification and repair of trauma. β
"This is a potion from a friend of mine. I don't know the exact recipe...... It is a pity that such a murder took place during the exchange of credentials, but I hope that the Righteous Envoy of Jupiter was not too frightened, and those Assassins were so daring! β
This highly concentrated natural water was undoubtedly given by Lin An, and it was not the first time that Lancet had used it for others, but it was exposed in such a large public. But it was the first time.
But the urgency of the situation did not allow him to hesitate, but after successfully saving Perret's envoy, Lenster did not want to talk about it further, although he knew that this time after the water of nature was revealed. The assassins hiding in the shadows will inevitably turn their attention to him.
The black-robed old man also understood Ranster's concerns, and glanced at Merlin and Perre's teams that were a little late and chaotic, squinted his eyes, and his voice was cold:
"Please rest assured that Perret will definitely give an explanation to the envoys about this matter, these clowns hiding in the shadows will not affect the normal visit of the envoys!"
β¦β¦
"Although the exposed water of nature, in exchange for the favor of a royal ** master, and the saving grace of a prince with the right to inherit, in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages - even without these benefits, the death of the prince of Perret as an envoy at the scene of the assassination is by no means a good start for the envoys."
The paper on his fingertips turned into ashes, and Lin An smiled coldly, "...... Hmph, what a plan! Taking advantage of the exchange of state gifts between the envoys of the two countries, the accompanying strong people cannot guard the close-quarters, assassinate the target, and cannot wear protective equipment, the chosen assassin is not mentally controlled, and cannot be discovered by the strong in advance, or a two-pronged approach, targeting the important envoys of the two countries at the same time, and it happens in full view of everyone, even if there is only one success, the two countries can't even cover it up afterwards, and it will inevitably be boiling-"
Rao had made a lot of assumptions and precautions in advance of the Merlin envoys, and he didn't expect that the other party would directly attack when he had just come into contact with Perre's envoys:
Bold, sophisticated, and unexpected, this assassination plan is perfectly in place;
And the choice of assassins, the speed and accuracy of the hands, will also increase the success rate of assassination to the highest, you must know that under the protection of the accompanying strong, although the assassinations are frequent, but there is no doubt that there is no real close to success, there is no doubt that if it were not for a little luck and Lancet's quick reaction, this assassination has been infinitely close to success!
If it happens, whether either of the two princes, Charles and Jupiter, dies, or both of them die at all, it will be a heavy slap in the face for both countries:
It is difficult to say what impact this incident will have on the current situation, and perhaps this huge and high-profile mission will end without a hitch, and then the current tense situation of the three mainland countries will change dramatically!
"Did the Holy Empire do it?" In the shade of the trees, Sidney asked in a voice.
"It can only be said that they are the most suspicious," anyone's first reaction is to think of the Holy Empire, and Lin An is no exception, but after thinking about the whole course of events, from the perspective of a bystander, "It cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately blames the Holy Empire." β
Tilting his head slightly, Sidney expressed confusion.
Titi on the side had a bright color in his eyes, but because he didn't see him on Sidney's side, Lin An glanced at him perceptively.
"If the assassination is really successful, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the Holy Empire, but there is no assassination success at the moment, who is the beneficiary?" Lin An's voice was faint.
Sidney is not unenlightened, but he doesn't know the situation as well as Lin An, and as soon as Lin An said this, he immediately understood.
The white paper and quill in front of Lin An jumped, quickly writing down some words, and then collecting the note into the Ring of Artemis.
β¦β¦
The City of the Ridge.
"In this way, the situation of the Grand Duke of Randster is much safer than imagined."
Saleen handed John back the paper filled with Juanxiu's familiar handwriting, and chuckled as he took it back into his bracelet.
"Master Saleen agrees with Miss's speculation? However, according to the description of the Grand Duke of Randster, His Royal Highness Charles was obviously not aware of it in advance. John's face changed obviously, in his opinion, Lin An's speculation was just a warning and reminder to Lancet, and what he said was only a possibility, not certain.
"The people of the envoy group don't need to know, as long as the two half-step legends know, the rest of them are a chess piece on the chessboard of the great emperor, especially when Pere and Charles himself think that his position is important, but in fact Charles is already a waste chess, what reason is there not to make the most of this waste chess?" Saleen smiled warmly.
"But His Royal Highness Charles is also His Majesty's biological son, and I don't think His Majesty would make such a decision."
Salin smiled and didn't argue, "I didn't say that His Majesty would have ordered Charles to be killed, you see that he was not injured, and the two crowns dealt with the assassin in the first place, didn't they?" If this assassination was really driven by Merlin, His Majesty the Emperor just didn't tell Charles about them. β
What's more, how can such an important chess piece be used up at one time, Charles's role in this mission is more than that, even if this scene is really designed by Merlin, it is impossible for Charles to have an accident.
Johann misunderstood Saleen's statement that the mission was a political game at stake, and that if the emperor had merely concealed it from Charles, it was within his acceptable reach.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
The waiter led a thin boy of eleven or twelve years old in, and the boy said a few words.
Saleen's eyes lit up, and he stood up and let the boy lead the way.
"Let's go, it's time for us to do something."
β¦β¦
When night fell, the black fortress crawled like a silent beast, the lights in the fortress were still not extinguished, the assassination during the day made the night covered with a layer of blood, and the restless hearts were as thick as the night outside.
Ranster walked into the smoking room, where Charles was standing by the fireplace, silently smoking his thick pipe, and on the couch sat Douglas and Ludwig, both of whom were also smoky.
Not surprisingly, the ceremonial officer was replaced by the Assassin Disfigure, and Perre's men found the body of the real ceremonial officer in the closet of the fortress room. This ceremonial officer is also a marginal person, somehow mixed into the royal envoy team, the investigators asked back and forth, after this ceremonial officer entered the team, he never met with the accompanying ** master, you know that this kind of ceremonial officer is not high, in this way, it will not be noticed by the ** master. β
As an envoy, Lenster was pulled by the awakened envoy of Jupiter, who came back one step later than Douglas, and after entering the door, he directly informed him of the news he had just received from Jupiter, and the people on Merlin's side were undoubtedly more concerned about the ceremonial officer who assassinated Charles.
"And what about Perret's lieutenant? I remember that he was a new court count, quite loved by Phoebe II, and had a great future, why would he suddenly assassinate him without being mentally controlled? β
"This has not yet been clarified, the court earl is indeed himself, and his family is also in Danton, the capital of the Pere Emperor, according to normal circumstances, since he has entered the ranks of the royal envoys, it is unlikely that outsiders will abduct his family from Dandong, and then threaten him with the possibility of assassination,"
"But according to the recollection of an official of the legation who was more familiar with him, the court count seems to have had regular correspondence with a church in Danton, in private. β
