Chapter 42: Assassins and Knights: Napoleon
"Squeak", the door opened a crack, Tang Tu waited for a few seconds, nothing happened, so he reached out and pushed the door open. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bang dong" Tang Tu was pressed against the door by a pair of powerful arms, Tang Tu's short sword was raised upward against the opponent's chest, but the opponent's pistol also resisted his waist.
This is a short man with brown hair, petite and a bit like a woman, but his arms are extremely powerful, and Tang Tu couldn't break free for a while.
As soon as the two sides looked at each other, no one got a bargain, of course, this was on the surface, because Tang Tu had not yet used the Phantom Hidden Blade.
The other party looked at Tang Tu for a moment and then let go of his arm, "You don't look like a crazy life-cutter, although your cloak looks a little sinister, I hope you don't mind me saying that." β
Tang Tu suddenly smiled, "You're right, I have the same opinion as you, and that's why I like this dress." You don't look like a life-cutter, and you don't look like a palace guard, like me, who fished in troubled waters to find something? β
The other party shrugged his shoulders, "Almost, this is the king's private study, how many times can ordinary people have the opportunity to come here in their lifetime?" β
"Heh, if you don't come, you won't come in vain..."Tang Tu inexplicably had a good impression of this person, probably because although the other party had been vigilant, he didn't do it without saying a word, which was a bit similar to Tang Tu's attitude.
Tang Tu looked around, the other party was already rummaging through the desk to find something, Tang Tu asked, "What are you looking for?" β
"Valuable things like state secrets, private letters, personal collections ... Hopefully what we're looking for doesn't conflict. β
The other party's hand was on the pistol on his waist, Tang Tu pretended not to see, but the Phantom Hidden Blade on his wrist was ready to shoot out at any time.
"I'm looking for some letters to the king, which ... If it falls into the hands of unreasonable life-cutting people, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and will be very troublesome. Tang Tu said.
"Understood, maybe we can help each other, I heard that the king has built a safe in his study with something of value in it, if we can find it..."
Tang Tu opened the eagle eye, the cabinet against the wall next to it turned yellow, walked over and opened the cabinet, there was a mechanism hidden behind a pile of books, Tang Tu pressed the mechanism, and a hole appeared in the wall next to him.
"It looks a little unusual here..."
Tang Tu walked to the entrance of the cave, took out a pile of letters from it, and stood by the fireplace next to it. The other party came over when he heard the sound, he didn't seem to be interested in the letter in Tang Tu's hand, but took out a stack of documents from it, obviously he also came with a clear goal.
Both of them were looking at the things in their hands, and Tang Tu found Mirabeau's letter to the king, and breathed a sigh of relief, throwing all the letters in his hand into the furnace and burning them to ashes.
And the other party also found what he was looking for, folded a document and stuffed it into his breast pocket.
At this moment, there was a "knock" on the door, and someone banged on the door outside.
"It's time to go." Tang Tu said.
"This way," the other man walked over to a wall and pressed the mechanism, and the cabinet on the side automatically opened the door, revealing a passageway. It turned out that the other party sneaked in from here.
As soon as the two of them entered the passage, the door was knocked open, and a group of people rushed in Hulala, because the door had not yet had time to close, and the people who came in naturally found Tang Tu and the two.
There was no choice but to meet the enemy, Tang Tu drew out a short sword to kill an enemy, and then picked up the enemy's broadsword and fought with others, in the case of fewer enemies, the broadsword is better than the short sword.
"Napoleon!" Suddenly, an enemy called out his name, Tang Tu looked back, and an enemy who seemed to be the leader was approaching the short man, it was this enemy who called out the name of the short man, and the two obviously knew each other.
"Ruilleβ" Napoleon's face was very unpleasant, he had sneaked here, he didn't want to be found out that he had been here, but he had met an acquaintance, and if he wanted to keep this secret, he had to kill all the enemies who came in.
Napoleon confronted Rouille, and Tang Tu took the opportunity to clear out Rouille's followers, these so-called followers were mobs who went to the battlefield without training, and their strength came from the strength of the outnumbered, but it was not enough to see with a limited number of people.
Napoleon had only guns in his hands and was at a clear disadvantage to firearms in close combat. Rouille was also a soldier, and his combat effectiveness was still above Napoleon, but he didn't seem to want to kill Napoleon, which gave Napoleon a chance to dodge.
Rouille had a gun and a sword in his hand, he flexibly dodged Napoleon's shot, first shot Napoleon to dodge to the side, and then the long sword in his hand swung towards that position, seeing that the sword was about to fall on Napoleon's shoulder, Tang Tu helped in time to block the sword.
The three of them turned around and shifted, and Tang Tu stood beside Napoleon, who said to Tang Tu, "Kill this person, I owe you a favor." β
When Rouille heard Napoleon's words, a hideous smile appeared on his face, and he did not retreat at all, but rushed towards Tang Tu more and more bravely, as if he was about to duel with Tang Tu.
Tang Tu was also a little frightened by the other party's bravery, but he didn't forget what the situation was now, if he dragged on here for a second longer, there might be more enemies coming.
Tang Tu pretended to struggle to deal with it, and while preparing the Phantom Hidden Blade, just as he blocked Ruye's attack, and Ruye grinned and was about to pounce again, the flying sword shot Ruye's throat.
At the moment of Rouille's death, memories of his death began.
It turned out that Rouille knew both Mirabeau and Ayman, and when he was younger, he wanted to become a follower of Mirabeau, but was rejected by Mirabeau, and Ayman took the opportunity to recruit Rouille into the Templar Order, and since then Ruyer has become a loyal follower of Ayman, and continues to do so after Ayman left the Order.
In Rubille's memories there is also a woman named Marie, who is also a member of the Order and a follower of Ayman along with Rouille.
After being expelled from the Order, Ayman founded the Dark Knights, whose members are still mainly former Knights, but they use Ayman as their head to secretly do things that the Templars do not allow them to do.
Aiman was planning a big event, he controlled the flow of grain in France through Mary, deliberately hoarded grain to make the price of food in France high, causing the common people to starve, hunger intensified the contradiction between the people and the aristocracy, when the contradiction accumulated to a certain extent, the death inevitably broke out.
Now, Aiman's plan is more than half successful, and he is only one last step away from "guillotining the king", which Aiman calls "starvation."
Killing Aiman was an accident, but Tang Tu gained a lot, not only did he know the news of Aiman, but the side quest that had not changed for a long time was finally updated.
The "Ding Dong" system prompt appears: the side quest has been updated, find and kill Mary and Aiman, distribute the food that Mary hid to the people, and end the "starvation and death".
