Su and Red Hitomi sat in the carriage, and now Su has changed into a gray and white dress, and Red Hitomi is still pretending to be the one in the morning.

"Red Hitomi, we are nobles when we are on a mission, so please pay a little attention to etiquette when eating, it's not that what's wrong with the way you eat, it's just to not attract attention, okay?" Su is quite worried about the performance of the red pupil at the dinner table. "Also, we're brother and sister in the mission, so please behave naturally."

"Hmm." The red pupil's face kept looking out, not knowing what he was looking at.

The two men then remained silent for a considerable period of time until they reached their destination.

The carriage was walking for about two hours, and I saw from the window that it was now in the suburbs of the imperial capital, and it seemed that this character client was really withdrawn in temperament, so I wanted to see it.

After a short while, a huge manor house came into view, and it seemed that it had finally arrived. The carriage slowly came to the gate of the manor, and there were already people waiting.

The carriage stopped, and asked the red pupil to wait first, and went down first, and then half-bent over, holding the red pupil and slowly walked down.

A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man walked over, it should be the owner of the manor.

The manor lord smiled, "Hehe, Lilith and Arthur, you're here." If you slow down, you won't be able to catch up with afternoon tea. ”

"Hehe, it's not that you live too remotely, uncle." Su was also full of smiles, thinking that the person in front of him was also quite deep in the city, but after all, he was mixed up in the officialdom of the imperial capital.

Before the red pupils on the side could react, Su turned his head and said, "Lilith, let's go." ”

Red Hitomi still didn't react, so she had to follow them in a daze.

Shu and Chi Tong have two bags of luggage, but they are carried by an ordinary-looking guard, he and a few maids walk in the back, Red Hitomi has been very nervous in his heart, because Mura Yu is in one of the bags of luggage, if he is discovered, his identity will be exposed, and it is estimated that the mission will have to be terminated at that time.

However, Su walked ahead and chatted with the lord of the manor, as if he didn't realize their dangerous situation.

Red Hitomi wanted to go up and remind her, but she didn't have a chance, so she walked downstairs to the manor villa in anxiety and worry. Red Hitomi couldn't hold back any longer.

"Excuse me, can I go back to my room first? I'm a little tired. ”

Su was a little surprised, the owner of the manor still smiled, and asked the two maids to take the red pupil back to the room, the red pupil said, "So, is our luggage ......" The red pupil also looked at the suke, and then seemed to understand something, and went back to the room with the maid.

In fact, just now Su used the sign language of the assassination unit to communicate with Red Hitomi and told her that it didn't matter.

"Go and bring your luggage to my room." Shu said to the guard, it seemed that he was not afraid of what the guard would find, the guard nodded, turned and entered the villa.

"It's a pity, I originally specially prepared Lilith's favorite flower tea." The lord of the manor looked helpless, and said, "Yes, but it has been hard for Lilith to sit in the carriage for such a long time." It seems that the two of them are going to continue singing this double reed play.

Then Shu and the owner of the manor came to the garden for afternoon tea, of course, not only to drink tea, but also to exchange some information. I know the main route and approximate time of this escort mission, which is very important for a guard.

Before I knew it, it was evening, and because it was going to leave tomorrow, Edil (that is, the owner of the manor) held a large dinner party and invited many nobles. Akatomi was also there, but she just sat there fighting with knives and forks and steaks, and Sumi chatted with the nobles from all sides. Ediel's family and nobles were also very accommodating with Su and Red Hitomi, who had never known each other, and the guards who carried the luggage today were also present and had been by Ediel's side all the time.

Bursts of beautiful music brought the nobles to find their dance partners, and Edil was on the dance floor with his wife. But of course, someone invited Red Hitomi to dance with him, but Red Hitomi refused all, and he knew that there were already eight people who had hit the wall, including Ediel's son.

Su sat beside Chi Tong with two glasses of red wine, "Aren't you going to play for a while?" ”

Red Hitomi took a sip of red wine, shook her head, and then whispered "...... our luggage"

"Don't you believe me? It's been solved. Su smiled and drank the red wine in his hand, "Are you nervous?" ”

"Hmm." Red Hitomi replied softly, "I always feel a little uneasy, as if something is coming." ”

"Assassin." Su looked at the people dancing in the hall, "They've already blended in." "From the beginning of the dinner, Su observed that there had been a few people avoiding the crowd*, and when the ball began, they were ready to move, but the guards beside Edil had been on the lookout for those who were deliberately approaching, so they hadn't done it yet. However, with the arrival of the music*, people continue to try to get close to Ediel, and the guards are a little overwhelmed. Su's right hand took Chi Hitomi's hand and pulled her to join the dance.

Red Hitomi was taken aback, blushing and trying to break free of her hand, but she took her hand and kept changing the shape of her hand.

The red pupil suddenly realized that he had been communicating with himself in the sign language of the assassination force. Presumably consciously, the assassin had already lurked beside Ediel.

Su pulled the red pupil and moved while dancing, because the red pupil is a dancing idiot, so Su had to continue to cooperate with the pace of the red pupil, Su put his other hand around the red pupil's waist and slowly rotated, the red pupil kept her head down, and she couldn't see any expression, Su told her to raise her head through sign language and observe what suspicious characters there were. The red pupil had no choice but to raise her head, her face was like a ripe red apple, and she kept avoiding her gaze.

Here's what their sign language conversation is about:

Shu: What's wrong? Uncomfortable?

Red Hitomi: Nothing, that, probably how many assassins.

Shu: I don't know, there should be eight people, and there may be a few more lurking in the shadows, be careful.

Akatomi: Oops, I forgot that Murayu is not on my hands.

It doesn't matter, you just need to help me find the suspicious person, and I'll take care of the rest.

A blue-green dagger slipped out of Shu's cuffs and landed right on his hand, Shushu held the dagger in his hand and covered it as much as possible, it seemed that he had been prepared.

At this time, Shu and Red Hitomi had already squeezed around the Edil couple, and the two of them were also trying to avoid the crowd, it seemed that this was not the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Two pairs of dancers rushed towards the Edil couple, but the guards stopped one pair, and seeing that the other pair was about to lean close to the Edil couple, Su and Red Hitomi squeezed in. Annoyed, the male assassin has already pulled out a dagger and threatened him, warning him not to meddle.

Shu Ke doesn't care so much, come directly to the hard, the dagger directly takes the assassin's wrist, because it is still at the dance, so it is the most ideal situation to let the other party know the difficulty and retreat, seeing the direct attack of the dream, the assassin held his dance partner and hurriedly dodged back, and the young pupil continued to pursue, "second", the dagger cut through the assassin's sleeve, drawing a not shallow wound. The assassin's hand shook, the dagger fell to the ground, and Shu took the opportunity to step forward and kick the dagger away, and the assassin who had no weapon had to give up, staring at Su viciously, and Su greeted him with a smile, as if nothing had happened just now.

Then the assassin left his dance partner and blended into the crowd and disappeared, presumably to inform his companions. Su asked the red pupil to sit down for a while, and he went to inform the guards to block all the passages. Sure enough, a few minutes later, several of the assassins around the Edills disappeared, presumably discussing countermeasures somewhere.

Now they are lambs to the slaughter, and life and death are up to them. Suzu sat on a couch, his eyes fixed on the eight of them, and two of them walked over to the dance floor, either to assassinate Edil head-on or to take hostages as a bargaining chip to escape, the latter of which he thought might be more likely. Another man walked into the shadows and took something out of his arms, while the remaining two looked around, presumably shielding the third from the wind.

There was a loud bang, and white smoke filled the air, "What happened?" "What's wrong?" People are in chaos, and now is the perfect time to assassinate or take hostages. When the white smoke was about to dissipate, a woman's scream was suddenly heard again, and the crowd became chaotic again.

When the white smoke completely cleared, the two assassins were holding the two noble ladies hostage and standing in the middle of the dance floor, holding two daggers against their necks, the two ladies were already crying like tearful people, and the other three people were holding daggers in their hands, guarding against them. Dozens of guards armed with spears and short swords surrounded them.

"Get out of the way, otherwise I won't be able to guarantee the lives of the two young ladies." A man who seemed to be the leader said deeply, but from the words, he obviously felt a lack of confidence.

Suzu has been sitting on the sofa since the beginning, and he seems to have been searching for something in the crowd.

"As long as you can let these two ladies go, we will let you go, but if you hurt them, then wait for the bodies to be collected." Edil also heard that they were not confident enough, and at such a time, they must not give them a good look.

"How about we take a step back, you let all the guards step back five meters, and then open the gate, let's put one person first, and then wait until we are sure ......" Just when their leader was negotiating with Ediel, there was a "bang" twice, and the heads of the two hostage-taking assassins blossomed, blood and brains splashed on the ground, and the two ladies were fine, and they fainted directly, and the other three were so angry that they wanted to continue to hold the two ladies hostage, but they were stabbed into a sieve by the swarming guards.

It all happened in the light of lightning, and the crowd became chaotic again, and suddenly, a dinner knife flew into the air, aiming at Ediel...... However, there was a metal clash, and the knife knocked out a dagger, and a lady ...... Oh no, it should be the assassin's face as gray as gray, and he was pressed to the ground by the red pupil, and his hands were firmly clasped by the red pupil. Su walked over, squatted down and asked, "Beautiful lady, can you explain to your employer?" ”

The female assassin raised her head, her jaw moving slightly, but she was pinched by Su, "What? Still want to swallow drugs? What a trained assassin. Then he raised his head and said to the frightened Ediel, "Uncle, she will be handed over to you." ”

The female assassin was clasped by the red pupil's hands, slowly stood up, turned her head and glanced at the red pupil, "This posture, are you ......" But before she finished speaking, she was hit in the back of the neck with a hand knife and fainted.

"If you have anything, just tell the judge." But it is estimated that he will not be able to leave this manor.

"Lilith, let's go."
