Chapter 156: Ambush
In the old duke's residence, where the Poles temporarily lived, a tiptoeing figure. It was Father Kesenwade, and at this time, most people were asleep, how could he be here?
There was a subtle glint in the old man's eyes, and his hands trembled slightly. If he hadn't known in advance that General Kurak had left, he wouldn't have dared to come here with a thousand dares.
But the price offered by Nitsia was too tempting for Father Xenwede, who was already over the age of six, to be moved.
The archbishop is a position that the clergy sometimes cannot reach in their lifetime, and the glory makes him take the greatest risk to give it a go. Poland, in particular, was much less controlled by the Holy See, and the ring, scepter, and voir were all given by the king. If that happens, then it's not impossible for the regent to canonize himself as archbishop. He is already sixty-two years old, and although medical technology and living conditions have improved greatly since the advent of the new era, he is still in his last years. With the decline of his energy, he also felt that his physical strength was exhausted, and now he was still just a senior priest with the army, and that position was too far away. Far away, he didn't even have any extravagant hopes.
However, Nedasia's words rekindled hope in the heart of the already disheartened old man.
But the matter was too dangerous, and Father Xsenved was still terrified, and if he was discovered, he would have died without a place to bury.
Looking at the things that Nidessia had given him in his hand, Xenved still felt a little frightened. For the sake of power struggle, is it true that even relatives are nothing? Of course, everyone understands the truth, those who achieve great things are not informal, for the struggle for power, fathers and sons fight for brothers, almost everywhere is not uncommon, the struggle for royal power is always full of conspiracy. It's just that he is caught in the whirlpool of power struggles, and Kesenwade still feels a little chilly as an outsider.
It's just that the desire of the heart finally triumphed over his fear. Father Xenved walked slowly to the room where Bonifazia was resting, and did not come back after being examined by Dr. Fabre during the day. This is why Kesenwade dares to come here with confidence and boldness. After all, no one would have thought that he, as a clergyman, would come here to plot against Her Royal Highness the Princess.
This poisonous potion was injected into the potion that Dr. Fabre had prepared for Bonifazia overnight, and it was almost diluted and undetectable, and Bonifazia's condition would worsen the girl's condition without realizing it. Although he didn't know what he was in his hands, Xenwade still understood that Bonifazia's life was actually in his hands.
But for the sake of the glory and status of the archbishop, there is no longer much to care about.
Kesenwade subconsciously looked around, secretly opened the door, and bent his waist to walk in. But the tall figure behind the door appeared in front of him, and his heart stopped beating abruptly.
"General Kurak!" Xenved couldn't believe his eyes, General Kurak, who had obviously left, was in Princess Bonifazia's room at this time, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. Father Kesenved felt as if he had jumped into a winter ice hole, and his whole body stiffened.
"I really didn't expect it to be yours, Xenwade. We've known each other for almost a decade. And you would do such a crazy thing! ”
"General Kurak, what are you talking about?" Xenved hurriedly put his hand behind his back and hid the test tube of the potion, he didn't expect General Kurak to be guarding here. The fear in my heart swept through my body, but I didn't know what to do. Murdering a member of the royal family, Kurak could have killed him on the spot. A sense of foreboding came suddenly.
A slammed punch came at him, and he didn't have time to react at all. Kosenwade was punched in the face.
Even though he is in his prime, General Kurak is a military attache after all, in the early years, when mecha technology was not yet popular, he rode a war horse and charged, even if he has passed the prime of life, this old man's movements are still as agile and fierce as a leopard. The punch was so hard that Kesenwade didn't have time to react, and his entire face seemed to be sunken. Suddenly, the old face opened a soy sauce shop, and all the red and yellow flowed out. Even a few of his teeth were broken, and the bridge of his nose was broken.
"Kurak, you ・・・・・・" Father Kosenwade, who was beaten to the ground, couldn't speak clearly, Kulak could be so violent, he was shocked and frightened, and collapsed to the ground.
However, General Kurak walked forward with a cold face, and when he went up, he kicked him hard, not caring whether the other party could withstand it.
This kick directly hit Kosenwade in the stomach! The old priest, who was in pain, leaned on his knees in front of Kurak with his forehead resting on the ground.
"This punch and kick are for Queen Adewija and Princess Bonifazia. And if I hadn't asked what was going on, I would have shot you 10,000 times by now. General Kurak picked up the reagent tube on the floor with a cold gaze and handed it to Dr. Fabre who came out of the room.
"I thought you went out and came back because you already had some clues, it turned out that you had to wait for the rabbit." Fabre took the reagent tube with some surprise and said.
"I've roughly guessed who it is, but there are some things that can't be solved without evidence. I'm just guessing that with you here, Mr. Fabre, those people would be overwhelmed! Kurak said as he dragged Kosenwade to the ground, not lightly wounded, but not life-threatening.
But at this moment, outside the official residence, there was a commotion!
"What people!" The soldiers in charge of the guard were awakened and rushed out, each with a musket in his hand. For the sake of safety, the Poles refused Novgorod's request to arrange security, and instead put their own men in charge of guarding the area, for which there were unpleasant experiences on both sides. But I didn't expect something to happen.
"You're staying here!" General Kurak left the defenseless Kosenwede here, and hurried down the stairs alone.
The faces of everyone inside and outside the residence became tense, after all, Novgorod was not a peaceful place. The soldiers were heavily armed and ready for battle.
General Kurak, on the other hand, ignored his men's obstruction and wanted to see what was happening, but he was taken aback by the scene outside the house! A giant appeared in front of him at this moment. (To be continued.) )
