Chapter 13: The Mystery

When the Right Virtuous King was leaving, he turned his head and glared at Qin Dong fiercely, Qin Dong knew that the Right Virtuous King Enek must hate himself, it seems that he must be careful in the future, otherwise he will not know how to die.

The result of Qin Dong winning the Wuzhu made Da Dan Yu Elak very happy, and as soon as Enek left, he laughed, obviously Longyan was happy, and said loudly: "Hahaha, good, Qin Dong really deserves to be the guard of Ben Shan Yu, even the Wu Zhu, who is quite known as a warrior, is not your opponent, it is obviously too condescending to be a guard with your ability, today Ben Dan Yu is very happy, Ben Dan Yu promoted you to centurion!" ”

Qin Dong didn't expect to be able to get the color head, Erak promoted him by one level, and today he has been promoted by three levels in a row, although there is only one centurion from an ordinary soldier to a centurion, but the ten-master and centurion have deputies, even if it is a barbarian nation like the Huns, there is no sound official system, but there is also a process of promotion, and it is very rare to be able to promote a few levels in a row.

After Erak's words fell, many people couldn't help but let out an exclamation, this promotion was indeed a bit unconventional, causing the consternation of other ministers, and the guards of the big names around them all looked at Qin Dong with envious, jealous and hateful expressions, and Erak found this situation and immediately regretted the promotion he blurted out, and he had just promoted Qin Dong to be a centurion in the afternoon, and it was less than three hours before he was promoted two levels in a row and promoted to centurion.

Where would Qin Dong give Erak time to repent, and what Erak said as Shan Yu was like water spilled out, and it was impossible to take it back, so he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you Da Shan Yu, the minister will definitely swear allegiance to Da Shan Yu!" ”

After Qin Dong thanked him, Elak also knew that since he had rewarded Qin Dong, he could no longer take back the reward, and after a deep sigh, he simply took out Qin Dong's slavery with generosity, and said: "Okay, Ben Shan Yu likes warriors, he likes loyal people, and he simply fulfills you, from now on, you are no longer a slave, but a free man!" ”

This is really an unexpected gain, you must know that although he became a centurion, he is still a slave, the identity of a slave and a free man is very different, the master can kill the slave for life, can be resold, can give it to others, the slave has no property of his own, the master does not need any reason to execute the slave, but the free commoner is different, the free commoner can have his own property, can have his own horses, cattle and sheep and pasture, can also have a field, marry his own decision, these are all slaves can not have, Qin Dong thanked him loudly again and returned to his seat.

Seeing Qin Dong return with a full load, even the chief of the guard, Wu Ji, was a little envious, although he didn't look at the official position of the centurion, but Qin Dong's colorful heads were not a small amount, and there was also a hundred gold pounds of money, which was equivalent to one-sixtieth of the annual tribute paid by the Eastern Roman Empire to the Xiongnu, and these things would be delivered to Qin Dong tomorrow.

After this episode, the banquet resumed the sound of laughter, men and women began to dance around the fire again, Qin Dong's mind was no longer here, he turned his head to look in the direction of Attila's dormitory, at this time, the guards guarding the dormitory had received orders not to guard the dormitory anymore, and they all came over to eat and drink, Qin Dong immediately said to Wu Ji that he had gone out to leave the banquet for convenience.

After passing through the crowd, Qin Dong came to Attila's dormitory, which was empty at this time, he looked up at the wooden walls of the dormitory, and then walked lightly to the wooden wall and gently climbed up to the dome of the dormitory along a window.

At the top, Qin Dong lay on the dome and uncovered a rain-proof cowhide to look down at the gap between the wooden planks of the dome, although Attila's body had been carried to the bonfire banquet site, but the dormitory was still brightly lit, and more than a dozen candle lamps illuminated the entire dormitory.

Qin Dong held his breath, his body was motionless lying on the dome and looking down, time passed little by little, about ten minutes later, suddenly, the big bed in the dormitory moved, no one was in the dormitory, the big bed moved by itself, Qin Dong was overjoyed when he saw it, and secretly said that it was so!

After the bed was slowly removed, a dark square hole appeared in the original position of the bed, and a pair of hands shrank through the dark hole. Qin Dong found that this dormitory was only built not long ago, after Attila's death, the windows and dome of the dormitory have not been opened, and the base of the dormitory is at least one meter two higher than the ground, the ground in the dormitory is paved with wooden planks, the Huns are nomadic people, and they will never make a big project for the residence, so the distance between the floor and the ground of this dormitory is absolutely hollow

Attila's chief bodyguard, Lored, has been guarding here with the guards, and the murderer has no possibility of escaping at all, so there is only one explanation, the murderer hid in the dormitory in advance, killed Attila after returning to the dormitory drunk, and hid in the space between the floor and the ground of the dormitory.

And Qin Dong smelled a drug-like smell in the air in the dormitory in the afternoon, which can explain why Attila, a person with martial arts, was quietly killed, and at the same time, the bride was also drugged and unconscious, and did not find that the murderer committed the murder, and when she woke up this morning, she found that Attila was dead, she was stunned, and the dagger in her hand may be the murderer's behavior.

It's a pity that Qin Dong is not the person in charge of investigating this murder, otherwise he would have asked people to check the bride's body to see if the bride is still complete, if it is not complete, it means that the bride does not know about Attila's death, but if the bride is still complete, it means that the bride is an accomplice, at least she witnessed the murderer killing Attila, because the murderer could not have drugged before the two had sex, and Attila's vigilance would be minimized after intercourse, and this was the best time to assassinate, Can an Assassin sent to assassinate Attila be a simple character? He wouldn't even think of that? It is impossible to make such a low-level mistake!

It may be that the murderer below was packing up something, and after a few seconds, a man dressed in darkness and wearing a hood and a black scarf on his head jumped out of the hole, and the man quickly tiptoed to the door of the dormitory, put his ear on the door and listened to the movement outside, and after finding that no one was passing by, he returned to the same place and covered the wooden board at the entrance of the cave, and then moved the large bed above the entrance of the cave.

After a qiē was finished, the man in black walked to the door again and put his ear to the door to listen, acting very carefully, Qin Dong faintly guessed why the murderer was so careful, first, the murderer did not want to die, second, the mastermind did not want to be discovered by the Huns that Attila was murdered, once the Huns learned that Attila was murdered by a certain country or force, the Huns would definitely raise the strength of the whole country to conquer, no country in the world today can withstand the wrath of the Hun Empire, including the Roman Empire, Even though Attila was defeated by the coalition organized by the military commander of the Western Roman Empire Aetius two years ago, it is no longer possible for the Western Roman Empire to organize such a coalition as it did two years ago, so the mastermind behind the scenes wants the assassins to make the scene as if Attila died a natural death, and no one can find the flaws, why can the murderer act freely in the royal court? Will you hide under the dormitory? There must be someone within the royal court to respond, and this person's status is not low!

After the man in black found that there was no one outside, he opened the door of the dormitory and quickly got out, sticking to the wall of the dormitory and walking quickly into the night, Qin Dong was waiting for this moment, how could he let him get out of his sight? So quickly slipped down from the dome and tracked it down.
