Chapter 14: The Truth

Qin Dong followed the man in black around hundreds of big tents, and he didn't know where he went, the man in black was very vigilant, looking back from time to time, or stopping to see if anyone was following him, Qin Dong couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he was in the army in his previous life as a reconnaissance unit, otherwise he would definitely be discovered by the man in black.

After walking for about ten minutes, the man in black seemed to stop at his destination, but hid on the side of a tall tent to see if anyone was nearby.

Qin Dong stood next to a tent nearby and stretched out his head for a long time to observe, and was taken aback when he saw the scale of the big tent, according to the scale of the big tent, the owner of the big tent must have a very high official position in the royal court, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a big tent, the Huns also have rules, the king tent of Da Dan Yu is the largest, and the tents of other people are reduced in turn according to the size of their official positions, and the owner of this big tent must be the person next to Attila.

The man in black hid beside the big tent and observed for a while, and found no one nearby, so he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in front of the big tent.

Qin Dong didn't expect the man in black to use this method to enter the big tent, he immediately went around a few tents, went around the back of the big tent and stuck on the tent to listen to the movement inside.

There are candles lit in the big tent, which fully shows that the identity of the owner of this big tent is extraordinary, you must know that there are not many people who can afford candles in the Huns, and the general officials all light mutton oil lamps, even in the Roman Empire, only the court and the big nobles can light candles, and the general people use vegetable grease as lamp oil, and the thing burns up crackling, and it is not very bright, and the poor people sleep until dark, and do not light the lamp, and the candles of this period are made of tallow, and there is no sound when burned, And clean and hygienic, very expensive.

Qin Dong heard the sound of pouring wine, his heart moved, and he immediately moved his feet to find a small crack in the tent, put his eyes together to observe, and found that the person was indeed pouring wine, but his back was facing the light, and the black scarf on his face was not removed, Qin Dong couldn't see the assassin's face, but he could see the figure clearly, it was a woman.

I see! Qin Dong suddenly realized in his heart, Attila's dormitory is so tightly guarded, even if ordinary people can't sneak in at all, only women have a chance, she can pretend to be Attila's concubine or the concubine's maid blends in with other women when she decorates Attila's new house, and after the decoration of the new house is completed, everyone else comes out, but she stays inside and hides in the space between the floor and the ground, and no one will notice that there is one less person when she comes out.

The female Assassin poured her glass full of wine and sat down on the large chair facing the curtain with the glass, her legs on the table and swaying constantly, looking very pleasant.

There are no swords in the big tent, there is no horse harness, there are a lot of sheepskin and cowhide on the table, used as paper, the Chinese literati in this period are still using bamboo slips, books are made of bamboo slips, occasionally use silk cloth and rough paper, it is really unaffordable, too expensive, and the Western Roman Empire used cowhide or sheepskin to record the text to spread civilization, which is quite luxurious, so there are very few books, those who can read are basically nobles, books can not be bought, and there are a lot of cowhides and sheepskins on the table of this big tent, It can be seen that the owner of the big tent must be a civil official, and his official position is still very high.

It didn't take long for Qin Dong to hear a voice from the front of the big tent: "My lord, are you back?" ”

The owner of the Great Tent is back! Qin Dong immediately put his eyes into the small slit to look over, only to see that the female assassin hid after hearing the sound, hid behind the bed and disappeared.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a man in a long silk dress walked in, Qin Dong was shocked when he saw the man's face, he didn't expect it to be this person, this person was Constantine Tius, Attila's chief secretary!

During the day, Qin Dong analyzed all the people close to Attila one by one, and he found that only this chief secretary Constantine Tius made him unable to understand, and now he finally understood that this guy was the female assassin's line!

So whose man was Constantius? Qin Dong is not known for the time being, the power of Europe in this period is very complicated, but to say that people like Constantius can be driven, I am afraid that it is not the Goths, Franks, Burgundians or Vandals and other barbarians can do it, to be precise, these barbarians may not have such scheming, the only possible is the Eastern Roman Empire or the Western Roman Empire, because the Eastern Roman Emperor Maximian and the Western Roman Emperor Valentine III are very clear that as long as Attila is alive, The two of them don't have a good life, and they can't sleep well, so the two of them are the most likely to send someone to assassinate Attila, and they have done so many times.

I saw Constantius walk to the back of the desk and sit down, rubbing his temples with his hands, at this time a small knife flashing cold slowly stretched out to Constantius's neck, Constantius's body suddenly froze, but he was not too afraid, and said calmly: "I knew that you had come out and arrived here, so come back and see."

The female assassin chuckled lightly and said to him, "How can your lord leave his wife at the campfire banquet with confidence?" As far as I know, Madame Zun is a noble lady who can't stay idle! Aren't you afraid that she will go behind your back to get along with other men? Giggles ......".

The female assassin's words seemed to sting Constantius, and his face instantly became ugly, and he said in an unkind tone: "Are you here to take the remaining half, or are you here to sarcastically mock me?" ”

"Okay, let's get down to business, the matter has been done, you have seen the results, and it has been done very cleanly, I dare to assert that no one but you and me have seen the flaw, and now you are going to pay me the remaining half of the money? I'm still waiting to get the money to eat something good, and then have enough milk to feed the child, it's not easy to save some milk money."

Constantius was speechless for a while when he heard this, got up and walked to the pile of tattered clothes next to him, lifted a few pieces of rotten clothes, and dragged out a huge deerskin bag.

The metal in the deerskin bag was obviously not light, and Constantius blushed, got up and gasped a few times, and said: "The remaining hundred gold pounds are here, you order a little, point clearly, and leave quickly, but I warn you, if the slightest rumor of this matter leaks, you will be hunted down for the rest of your life until you die!" Also, how the hell did you kill him?"

The female assassin giggled: "It's very simple, I waited for them to have sex and then put them unconscious with smoke, then I got out from under the floor and suddenly inserted a long iron nail from his nostrils into his brain, and when he died, I stuck the iron nail deep into his nostrils until no one could find it, it was as simple as that!" ”

It turned out that Qin Dong, who was outside the tent, heard the female assassin tell the real reason for Attila's death, and suddenly realized that the iron nail of the murder weapon had completely penetrated into the skull from the nostrils, and there was no external injury from the outside, and there was blood flowing out, and the blood flowing out flowed back into the trachea, which created the illusion that the blood was flowing back into the trachea and caused suffocation, and the Huns believed that Attila died in good happiness.
