CHAPTER XXI
"Okay two, now let's go inside and talk." Chen Xiaoyao said.
The three of them then entered a room in the Thieves' Headquarters.
"Need something, Ezio? Biscuits? Tea? Or is it the coffee that is unique here? Chen Xiaoyao walked into the room and walked up to Ezio with a plate and asked.
"What is coffee? Is this the thing? Ezio asked, holding the cup of coffee in it.
"Oh, this is a new drink, sold to me by a Turkish merchant, and it's hard for others to drink, but if you want to come to Chen, you should often drink it around those nobles, Ezio, you can try it." Antonio said to Ezio.
"It's a bit bitter, I feel like I'm missing something, I don't know. But have you ever thought about adding some sugar or milk or something? Ezio said.
"Hehe, you said exactly the same thing to your mentor, Ezio." Antonio shrugged his shoulders, took out the milk and sugar, and handed it to Ezio.
"Thanks, yes, it tastes much better." Ezio put both milk and sugar in it.
"Alright, let's not talk about coffee for now, now let's talk about that." Chen Xiaoyao pointed to a model and said.
"We have suffered heavy losses from this attack on the castle, and we need some time to repair, and it is certain that Emilio will use this time to strengthen the defense of his territory, and will also intensify his high-pressure policy, which is actually the same as your purpose, so I hereby invite you to join in this plan." Antonio said to Ezio, picking up and placing different small puppet models in his hands.
"Why don't you reconvene your men and do it? I don't believe you don't have the strength to do it all over again. Ezio said to Antonio.
"Hehe, you saw through it, and it really deserved to be taught by the teacher." Antonio snorted haha.
"We already have an action plan, but it's a bit difficult to implement right now, so we need you to do a few things, and the faster you get things done, the sooner you'll be able to 'talk' to Emilio." Chen Xiaoyao looked at Antonio before he said to Ezio.
"Okay, Mentor, if there's anything you ask." Ezio had a solemn expression on his face.
"Ezio, I'll start with the first thing, Emilio has bought some of the thieves and I need you to find them and shut them up forever, you have to make sure that you finish the first thing before you can do the second thing, and the second thing is that I need you to rescue the thieves who were captured today and bring them all to the roof here, Vago will be here to pick you up and tell you what to do next." Chen Xiaoyao said softly.
"I see, Mentor." Ezio finished and went out.
"Mentor, is it really okay for Ezio to do this alone? And you didn't even tell him the location, how could he find it when Venice is so big! Antonio asked Chen Xiaoyao with some anxiety.
"No need, Ezio has that talent, it's no problem, I guess at the most this afternoon, he should be able to complete the mission, and the plan I made will be handed over to Ezio to execute, I have to go back now, otherwise it won't be fun for those nobles or the Templars who came to spy on me to find out that I sneaked out." Chen Xiaoyao said while sending Antonio away, and also walked towards the door.
"Peace be upon you, my mentor." Antonio said respectfully to Chen Xiaoyao's back.
A few hours later, Ezio reached the roof of a room and handed over the last of the rescued thieves behind him to Ugo.
"Okay, that's the last, what should be done next." Ezio asked at Ugo, who looked incredulous.
"Oh, it's unbelievable that Ezio has done 100% of the way in such a short time." Ugo said in shock.
"Hehe, speed is my instinct." Ezio said.
"Alright, I'll go and inform Antonio right away, I'll come to the docks later, I still have something to do with you, this matter is very important to us." Ugo said mysteriously.
"Okay." Ezio replied.
After a while, the pier of Ezioli Road and Ugo meet.
"I forgot to thank you, Ezio, for rescuing my companions, and rescuing these companions is not just out of benevolence, Ezio and they will play a major role in the future plan, and because you saved their lives, you can now call them to help you do something." Ugo said.
"Looks like I've won the friendship of the thieves of Venice." Ezio said in a humorous tone.
"Yes Ezio, okay now I'll tell you about your next plan, this plan requires some tricks, we will pretend to be their archers to replace the archers that Emilio guards on the roof, so we need the weapons and clothes of the archers, and we know through the information of the guò mentor that there is a ship that has recently contained these things, and it is specially rationed to the archers of the Palace of Seta, Ezio, what you need now is to grab these things, and along with these, By forcing a ship dedicated to carrying Venetian soldiers, with these things we can enter the Palazzo Seta without being noticed by the soldiers guarding the Palace. Ugo said solemnly to Ezio.
"Okay, I'll get the job done." Ezio said.
Nearly a hundred meters from the pier, a small boat was parked, surrounded by three soldiers, and then two others guarding the ship's landing gate.
"It looks like the weapons and clothes of the archers are on the top of the boat, and the boat next to it is supposed to be a small boat for transporting soldiers, but we have to find a way to lure them all over... Ezio soon finalized a plan.
I saw Ezio press the Hidden Arrow in his hand, and then walked to the side of the three soldiers openly.
"Hey, man, don't, don't be so nervous, I'm just a traveler who just arrived in Venice, just come here and ask you for directions, don't be so nervous." Just as Ezio was about to walk up to the soldiers, Ezio suddenly shouted like three soldiers.
"Get out of the way, wait a minute, you ask." Originally, the three soldiers stared at Ezio tightly, especially when they saw him approaching them, they were even more energetic, and even one of them even pulled out his weapon, but when he heard Ezio say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still said viciously, but then he saw the money in Ezio's hand, and immediately said with a smile.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask if there's anything to be happy here, it's been a long time since I've been on a boat... As a man, you all know that." Ezio said in a funny voice, and Ezio's words caused the three soldiers to laugh, causing them to let their guard down completely.
"You turn left in this direction and go straight ahead, turn right at a big intersection and you're there." One of the soldiers smiled at Ezio, and then Ezio distributed the money in his hand to the three soldiers in turn, and when he distributed the money to them, the hidden arrow on the other arm stabbed into their bodies secretly and very shallowly, so that the three men did not even notice it.
Not long after Ezio left the three soldiers, the three soldiers began to babble as if drunk, and their bodies began to sway, and one of them took out his weapon and slashed everywhere in a chaotic manner, so that he killed one of the soldiers next to him, and the actions of the three of them quickly attracted the two soldiers who were guarding the landing gate of the ship, and the two soldiers ran down to investigate, and then two blood holes appeared in their necks, and behind them was Ezio who had already left.
"Ugo, I've already shipped something." Ezio piloted the boat, which consisted of the archers' weapons and clothes, and came to the docks, whispering to Ugo who was hiding in the docks.
"Good Ezio, I'll go inform my brothers now, and Antonio." Ugo said excitedly, and then steered the boat to the Thieves' headquarters, with Ezio doing it, of course.
When he arrived at the dock of the boat at the Thieves' Headquarters, Ugo docked the boat and immediately went to inform Antonio and the other thieves that he had gone, and Ezio saw Rosa at the door of the Thieves' Headquarters.
"Rosa, why did you come out, it looks like you're recovering well." Ezio said to Rosa, who was leaning against the wall of a room.
"Well, I want to thank your mentor, if it weren't for him, I guess... By the way, I'm really sorry for yelling at him at that time, Ezio, can you help me apologize to my mentor at that time?" Rosa said a little embarrassed, if Rosa's appearance is seen by Antonio or Ugo and other close and connected people at this moment, it is estimated that they must have an expression of eyeballs falling out, because Rosa has always looked like a female man, and Rosa will still have the appearance of a girl like now.
"Rosa, I feel that I will show sincerity in apologies in person, and with my understanding of the mentor, the mentor will not care too much about these things." Ezio shook his head and said softly.
"Okay, that's it, I'll apologize to my mentor then, Ezio, how do you feel about Venice now?" Rosa said.
"Venice is fascinating." Ezio said embarrassedly.
"And then?" Rosa asked.
"・・・・・・" Ezio was speechless.
"Hehe, it looks like our Lord Assassin hasn't had a good taste of the beauty of Venice, why don't you take it for you when I'm healed, Ezio?" Rosa made a clear invitation like Ezio. If this scene is seen by Chen Xiaoyao, it is estimated that Ezio will have to learn about the 'burning' (referring to hell-style training) of the members of the big FFF troupe.
