I peeked out the window, and there were two ladies busy, and then from behind the heavy curtain came a delicately dressed woman, with an unreadable face, dressed in a long Minoan dress, with slightly curly black hair, and shiny gemstone jewelry. She was followed by four court maids, holding decorative feather fans and jewel-encrusted mirrors.
Is she the Queen Mother of Minoa?
Is that her, killing Immorton?
I stared at her without taking my eyes off it, and I couldn't see clearly through the gap in the window. She stood aside, and the maid placed the food on the table for her.
Unas's fingers reached over and silently scribbled on the back of my hand: "Don't be impulsive. ”
I replied, "What?" ”
"There are guards, approaching here."
He rowed very quickly, and we fell down even lower, and the bushes and flowers beside the palace were dense and tall, and they kept us covered. I could smell a pungent floral scent, this flower Egypt didn't have, I had never seen it before, I don't know the name, but the scent was really strong. Julian almost curled himself up in a ball, his head, hands and feet shrunk, his back bent. Unas is very low. I leaned against the wall, and sure enough, I heard footsteps.
The sound of neat, soldier steps is approaching.
The sound of our breathing was very small, and I hated the almost drowsy scent of flowers, so I quietly covered my mouth and nose, and took a pill from the clasp of the bracelet and filled it in my mouth, and there was still one in it, and I did not hesitate to put it in Unas's hand. Then, through a little light from the window, I saw that he had also taken the pill in it.
I didn't want to use this method at first, but now it seems that there are some less honorable methods that are the most effective, and the damage to myself can be minimized.
I slowly sprinkled a small rub of medicinal powder on the windowsill, and the wind blew the flowers gently swaying, like a woman's soft posture. The smell of the medicinal powder was carried by the wind, and it slowly entered the small palace room through the open window. The powder originally had a grass-like taste, which was usually noticeable. But with such a large field of flowers blooming outside the window, the aroma of the flowers completely obscured the smell of the medicinal powder.
It was quiet inside, and I counted to fifty in my mind, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard in the room. Someone fell, first one, then one after the other. Someone whispered, but in the end everything fell silent.
I don't think I have much time, so I whispered to Unas and Julian, "Don't move here, wait and answer me." ”
Unas's hand tugged at the corner of my coat, as if to dissuade me. Julian also inhaled a little of the aroma of the powder, and was already a little unresponsive. I reached out and pushed open the window and jumped into the house.
A few of the palace maids were staggering to the ground, and the other two were leaning against the pillars, all unconscious. I couldn't care so much, so I walked up to the woman who was crooked at the table and reached out to pull her face.
A flash of light flashed before my eyes, and I turned sideways in an instant, and the sharp short knife grazed my shoulder, and my clothes were cut with a "snort".
Fooled!
The woman dressed in fancy clothes and pretending to be the Queen Mother may have been about my age, with big eyes and white skin, and a smug look on her face. She may have taken some medication beforehand, or had taken something else, so my powder didn't work for her.
I had only thought so much that the woman had already shouted, "Someone! Catch the assassins! ”
Oops.
She stabbed again, I was just caught off guard by her sudden attack, she didn't even touch the corner of my clothes this time, I twisted her wrist holding the knife with one hand, the fingers were slightly forced, she screamed, the short knife fell to the ground. I clasped her neck with one hand and exerted force with my five fingers.
Her other hand was raised to scuffle with me, but before she could touch me, her whole body had already softened.
Her body slowly collapsed, revealing the figure of Unas standing behind her. He grabbed me: "Hurry up!" ”
"It's too late."
I understand very much.
Because of his impatience, he fell into the trap of the Minoans.
Although they do not have palace walls, and the palace defense is also very weak, it is impossible for the Queen Mother of Minoa or the people next to them to live as usual in this extraordinary period, and their schedules and rest remain unchanged at all. They also figured out the psychology of those of us who were infiltrators. Perhaps this trap was originally aimed at the Mickenny, and if they could not do anything else, steal military information or continue to lurk to carry out their plan to subvert Minoa, then infiltrating the palace to assassinate the Queen Mother or the King of Minoa should be their first and only option.
I wouldn't have thought about it...... However, I was too anxious.
I was too anxious to know the truth about Immorton's death, and I was too eager to find out the murderer behind the scenes, so this was not a clever trap, but it also made me fall into the ambush.
The door was slammed into the air, and the Minoan soldier with a murderous face rushed in with a sword. The person who rushed to the front with the appearance of a small leader saw the woman lying on the ground who was pretending to be the queen mother just now, and shouted: "Miss Furong? ”
When he turned his head to look at us again, he had a fierce look on his face and swung his sword: "Catch them!" Live or die! ”
Unas stood in front of me with a crossarm and drew the sword at his waist with a loud thud.
I smacked the slightly upturned handle of the short knife on the ground with my toes, and the knife flew up, and I grabbed it in my hand.
The Minoan soldier rushed forward, and Unas's sword swung diagonally, swinging the bronze spear in his hand away.
I struck from Unas's side and slashed the Minoan soldier's throat, and because the knife was fast, the blood had not yet spilled out, and the man's life had been harvested.
My gaze fell on my own hand.
Empty.
Where's the little gold on my wrist?
Did you hurt it during the fight just now?
I didn't have time to look down for Kim's tracks, and more Minoa soldiers roared and rushed up.
