Chapter 187: Plans Change

The assassination of the Nine Princes set off huge waves in the Tianlan King Capital.

Salo I is still breathing a sigh of relief, and he may burp at any moment. Now that there is such a fuss, everyone knows that the battle for the throne may set off a bloody storm.

The eldest prince, Victor Salo, had been the most vocal in his quest to inherit the throne, and the vast majority of the council's elders preferred the eldest son to inherit the throne, so as to prevent Tianlan from declining due to the turmoil of the royal power.

But now that the ninth prince has been stabbed to death, the eldest prince has immediately become the biggest suspect. This also made those powerful ministers who were wise and self-protecting dissociate themselves from the relationship and stated that they would not support anyone. After all, it is taboo to kill his brother on the throne, and once it is found out that he is really involved in the murder, it is absolutely impossible for the eldest prince Victor to get anyone's support.

......

On this day, secret information came out of the parliament.

Inside the Royal Naval Academy, Tianlan, Vice Dean Erwin's office.

The fourth prince, Joyce Sallo, knocked on the door with an excited face.

"Teacher! Teacher! Good news... Great news! ”

Joyce couldn't contain her excitement and said, "There is definite news from the council that no heir to the throne will be elected until the cause of Jik's death is known." I'm afraid that the eldest brother's wishful thinking is about to fail, hahaha..."

Erwin's eyes were unfazed, obviously anticipating.

He said earnestly: "Fourth Highness, the Ninth Highness was assassinated, you had better not go out casually recently." Even in the academy, it is not necessarily completely safe. ”

Joyce was stunned and surprised: "Teacher, you mean that my eldest brother will be bad for me?" ”

Erwin shook his head and said, "No, it may not be His Highness. Now that the situation is so chaotic, anyone can do it. I think it's most likely the Third Highness. ”

"Didn't Lucas be assassinated before?"

Joyce rolled her eyes in confusion.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly came to his senses: "Oh! You mean... My third brother is a thief and shouts to catch a thief? ”

A gleam appeared in Erwin's eyes, and he said meaningfully: "The murderer's methods are very strange, the assassination leaves no clues at all, and it looks a bit like some ancient witchcraft. In this way, if they want to kill someone, the target should definitely not be just injured. The injuries of the Third Highness, I'm afraid there is something else going on..."

"That's right, I didn't think of it!"

Joyce felt as if he had caught something, and reasoned about the situation: "Now that the ninth brother is dead, the eldest brother has become the biggest suspect, and the third guy is a blessing in disguise, and he is most likely to get the support of the council elders..."

After a pause, he asked again, "Teacher, do you think I should make some preparations now?" ”

"Preparation must be there. You can get your mother's family to put a little pressure on the council elders... But don't get too busy, and don't get involved in any assassination-related trouble... As long as the council doesn't favor Lucas, your highness has a good chance of getting the inheritance..."

Erwin said this, and there was also a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The assassination was planned by him, how could he not know the inside story?

I'm afraid that Raymond couldn't have imagined that the real controller of the famous "Assassin Alliance" in the game would actually be the vice president of Tianlan Royal Academy.

But... Obviously, the ninth prince Jike was assassinated by his subordinates and died at the back door of Baylor Manor. And his subordinates confirmed that the target was dead, how could the body die "again" eight blocks away? The traces of the original crime scene were completely erased by some mysterious force, as if it had never happened at all... All kinds of weirdness, for him, an insider, it's a little creepy!

Moreover, the Baylor family has made it clear that they will not participate in the battle for succession, and that kind of second-rate business family is not capable of, nor can it have that kind of strange means.

He guessed that there might be a more mysterious force lurking in the royal capital.

Originally, after the ninth prince was killed, he had a series of plans, and this incident made Erwin a little afraid to act rashly.

"Teacher, I see!"

Joyce nodded, ecstasy in his eyes, "I will definitely do what you say, teacher!" ”

As a teacher, he really has no last resort.

A few days ago, he thought that he was fighting for the throne without any play, and if it weren't for the persuasion of his teacher, he would probably have let his mother's side start to operate vigorously, wanting to fight one last time. Unexpectedly, it had only been a few days, and because of a sudden assassination, the situation suddenly turned extremely favorable to him.

Now the eldest and third most promising inheritors are involved in the assassination case, but he, the fourth child who is not so "positive" about the throne, has a chance.

Joyce didn't know that his teacher Erwin had calculated the minds of the elders of the council, and now they had more reason to elect a "controlling" king.

......

Raymond stayed in the "Gesen's Divination Hut" for nearly half a month, and after coming and going, he gradually became famous in the circle of high-class ladies in Tianlan. He not only helps people with divination, but also cordially talks with those wives whose husbands are high-ranking officials in Tianlan. As a result, he gradually became the "friend of women" to these ladies who talked about everything, and he no longer avoided gossip.

Through this way, Raymond obtained many secrets of the upper echelons of Tianlan.

"Whew... It's time to close the net! Today is the fourth divination, and Vasily's fat woman should have asked me for the news I wanted..."

Raymond was waiting at the divination shop early in the morning, because today was the day when Vasily Carlson, the wife of the warden of Tianlan, came to divination.

The first time she came, the fat lady was still a little wary of seeing the familiar "liar Gesen", but after Raymond, a professional god, she gradually let down her guard.

Such high-ranking wives, they must have been trained in anti-psychic hypnosis, and although they seem to be deceitful, they are not stupid. If the purpose seems too impatient, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and minutes will make people feel that there is another purpose.

In the first three "divinations", Raymond paved a lot.

He cleverly used some hints in psychic spells to make her automatically trigger associations when she heard certain keywords. For example, the seemingly randomly placed cotton cushion on the table today is embroidered with a ** girl playing water painting, which is an obvious "Campbell's royal style" painting skills... This mat is the "key" to start the conversation today.

......

Not long after,

The fat lady Vasily arrived as promised.

"Oh~ Madam, you're here."

Raymond frowned when he saw the comer. Because this time... This woman didn't come alone, and there was a Sequence 5 transcendent hidden behind her!

"Could it be that my motives have been discovered?" Raymond secretly said something was wrong. If it weren't for the domineering of seeing and hearing, he really wouldn't have been able to find the stalker of this sequence 5.

At this time, Vasily saw the pattern of a cotton cushion on the table.

Sure enough, she immediately triggered a hint reaction and took the initiative to say: "Oh~ Isn't this the cotton textile of the Campbell's royal family?" It's a rare thing to see these days... Once upon a time, those guys in the Campbell royal family still knew art very well..."

"yes, it took me a lot of work to find it."

The other party took the initiative to bring up the topic of "Campbell's royal family", and everything was as expected.

According to the predetermined plan, Raymond should continue to talk about this, and then apply a little mental hint to make her take the initiative to bring the topic to the members of the royal family, and finally mention the place where Anna is being held, and the motive will be less abrupt.

But now, the plan is changing.

The stealth of Sequence 5 was in the house at the moment, and Raymond didn't dare to make any moves.

If his motives are discovered, and this stalker is the person sent by Tianlan to monitor, then once Raymond speaks, I'm afraid he will get into big trouble.

That kind of roundabout psychological hint that Vasily, the fat lady, has been foreshadowed enough and will not notice. But the observers immediately guessed Raymond's purpose.

"That's not right... Am I doing so carefully that someone is likely to find out? Raymond coped with it quietly, but he thought about it quickly in his mind, and muttered: "What's more, even if it is discovered, it can't be a top-level stalker in Sequence 5 directly, right?" ”

This configuration, a bit like artillery fighting mosquitoes, is obviously unlikely!

"Oh~ Madam, you have a good complexion, you must have won a lot of cards last night..."

"Oops~ Thanks to your guidance, Xiao won hundreds of thousands..."

“...”

Raymond's face remained unchanged and casually pulled the homely routine.

The stalker who followed into the house didn't move at all, and quietly hid in the corner, his breath becoming calmer and calmer. Like a cheetah in ambush, ready to ambush its prey.

"That guy is not hostile to me, it seems that he really didn't come for me..."Raymond thought of this, but still didn't dare to be careless, didn't dare to direct the topic to Anna's head.

At this moment, he was also extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Seeing that she has been casting a net for so many days, she will be able to reap the fruits today, how could this fat woman be followed by a Sequence 5 bodyguard today?

Sequence 5 Transcendent is the top combat power of the Tianlan royal family, even if this fat lady is the wife of the warden, she definitely shouldn't have this kind of super-standard treatment.

The more Raymond thought about it, the more confused he became,

However, it didn't take long for him to know why!

Because at this time, he felt a familiar Qi approaching the divination shop.

"Another Sequence 5 Transcendent, and another Sequence 6. Hey... That guy in Sequence 6 seems to be the Golden Tooth Liaison Officer Joselyn I saved before? ”

Raymond's expression was a little strange, why did this woman run away from the king of Tianlan?

What surprised him even more was that the two Qi were obviously coming in the direction of his divination shop!

Raymond glanced at the fat lady Vasily in the room, was stunned in his heart, and came to his senses: "No... It can't be that the people of the Golden Tooth are planning to kidnap this Lady Vasily, right? ”

Obviously, I'm afraid that he will guess it.

"Are those guys crazy, ready to take the Tianlan King hostage?! When the pirates have developed this stinky problem for a long time, why can things be solved by brutal means? ”

The kidnapping of the wife of the warden of Tianlan in the inner city of the Third Ring of the Tianlan Royal Capital is simply audacious!

Raymond's mind turned, and then he thought of the Sequence 5 Stalker in this room, and immediately understood.

This stalker is a member of the Tianlan Military Intelligence Department, who discovered the plan in advance, and is waiting for the person with the golden tooth to come to the net!

“...”

Raymond had the feeling of beeping a dog.

Now that the Golden Tooth Pirates have been wiped out and the masters are all gone, who else can the transcendent of Sequence 5 outside the door be besides "Golden Fang" Gulev himself!

I guessed with my toes, and I was surprised that the fat lady who kidnapped the ticket had the same purpose as herself, wanting to dig out the clues about Anna's detention from the woman's mouth.

"I'm so convinced... Seeing that I'm going to succeed, you're coming to this show?! ”

Raymond was no longer able to complain.

In the blink of an eye, he watched a man and a woman in disguise walk into the divination shop.

A person's appearance can be convenient, but he can't change it.

How did Raymond not know that the woman in front of him disguised as a businessman was the Golden Tooth [Liaison Officer] Joseline?
