Chapter 254: Assassination

The specific method of cheating, in this kind of public place, of course it is inconvenient for Du Ang to say, even if he does, there is no way to do a live demonstration, anyway, this matter is there first, Du Ang told Lawrence, and after a while, he will be busy with the things at hand, so he will go to him, and then take him to the Imperial Magic Association to walk around, and by the way, he will do the cheating exam.

Lawrence was skeptical of Du Ang's words, and he didn't believe it all, after all, such a thing was a bit too unbelievable for him, but he couldn't believe it, and Lawrence was not so sure, because he didn't see Du Ang as if he was joking with himself, and among the nobles of the Bauhinia Empire, although there were a lot of things in private, they were still very honest on the surface, especially a high-ranking nobleman like Du Ang, the two of them met for the first time, I am not familiar enough to joke with such a big thing, so Lawrence's promise to Duon is basically a state of half sea water and the other half is sea crab, anyway, he said that he will come to him in a few days, so just wait, a few days will pass, and then whether it is true or false, everything will be revealed.

After chatting for a while about nonsense without nutrition, the two main protagonists of today's banquet, Powell, the eldest prince of the Bauhinia Empire, and Carter, the envoy of the Byron Empire, both entered the venue, Powell still looked as suave as before, dressed elegantly and elegantly, and the Byron Empire's envoy Carter, this kid also changed into a brand new dress today, holding the envoy of the Byron Empire in his hand, following Powell's side, talking and laughing, not at all the face that made people look so tired in the auction house two days ago.

After all, this is the palace of the Bauhinia Empire, the largest center of power, and the people present are all high-ranking nobles with heads and faces in the Bauhinia Empire, not the powerless ordinary people in the auction house and the big businessmen who only have some stinky money. On this occasion, the kid named Carter was quite restrained, and the appearance on his face was much more reserved. Looking at his pretended appearance, Du Ang simply scoffed, in response to the old saying, it is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger, and it is difficult to draw bones, and he knows people and faces, but he does not know his heart, if he hadn't seen his arrogant appearance in the auction house before, I am afraid that he really thinks that this kid is a gentle and humble gentleman, a well-educated aristocratic boy, but ...... Hmph, just pretend, no matter how much a wolf in sheep's clothing bleating, in the final analysis, it is also a wolf, not a docile and kind baby sheep.

When the main lord comes, the banquet officially begins, and on this occasion, of course, the protagonists are Powell and Carter, and a nobleman like Duon does not have much power to speak, and the focus will not fall on him. In general, this banquet was very successful, the Bauhinia Empire could not do anything else, but it was very particular about the diet, which was very famous in the entire St. George Continent, among which the most awesome Bauhinia cauliflower was almost popular in the entire St. George Continent, and even the Byron Empire, which had always been at odds with the Bauhinia Empire, had to bow down at this point.

Fine wine, food, beautiful utensils, the imperial chefs in the Bauhinia Imperial Palace, are the best of the chefs from all over the country, they are the kings of cooking, the craftsmanship is exquisite, beautiful, plates of dishes like handicrafts are served, the fragrance is overflowing, and it makes people feel appetizing.

Although Carter is the envoy of the Byron Empire, but in the final analysis, he is just a teenager, it is when he eats a lot of food and grows his body, as a nobleman of the Byron Empire, it is difficult for him to see so many luxurious and wonderful food, you must know that in the Byron Empire, even if it is on the table of His Majesty the Emperor, the dishes that are seen the most are nothing more than ordinary barbecue meat and boiled vegetables, which has a lot to do with the geographical environment in which the Byron Empire is located.

The Bauhinia Empire is located in the plains, which have basins, hills and mountains, as well as a long coastline, and are very rich in various ingredients, while most of the land of the Byron Empire is grassland, desert and forest, and the national surname is relatively rough and does not pay attention to the elaborate food...... Now seeing so many delicious foods, although Carter is still reserved, he can also see that his appetite is open, and the knife in his hand is a little unstoppable.

As the eldest prince of the Bauhinia Empire, Powell has entertained many VIPs who have come to the Bauhinia Empire from foreign countries, and has seen many such scenes, which is already a little strange, after all, life is in the world, no matter how much you fight, it is nothing more than eating, drinking, sleeping and playing, and there are not many people who can resist the temptation of food...... Those old guys can't do it, let alone a young man like Carter.

Carter's eating was a little embarrassed, Powell smiled slightly, and persuaded: "Okay, okay, Lord Carter, slow down, the last main course hasn't come up yet, maybe we should leave a little appetite and taste it, otherwise, our chef will feel very shameless......"

In this way, he was worried about Carter's face, and Carter could hear it, he smiled, and also found that his eating appearance was a little indecent, so he put down his knife and fork and began to chat with Powell.

The two of them, who have not crossed paths before, are not familiar with each other, but they are both human-like characters cultivated in aristocratic families, no matter how uninteresting the topic is, they can also be interpreted vividly, hypocrisy is hypocritical, but it sounds very lively and attractive.

The Bauhinia Empire and the Byron Empire, these two countries have different folk customs, different regions, different customs, and are close neighbors, just take out a few topics, it is enough to talk for a while, the two of them spoke in a very low voice, laughing while talking, and the others couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about, but one of them there was his master, he laughed, and the people below naturally had to give face, laughing together, hahahaha, in the laughter, this banquet went very smoothly.

After three rounds of drinking, Carter stood up, said goodbye to Powell, and then came out of the hall and went straight to the toilet outside.

What they say, what they say, what they laugh at, or even whether they are present or not, it doesn't make much difference to Du Ang, and he is not interested, because he is originally a companion, all of this has nothing to do with him, as long as he eats and drinks with his head stuffy, even if he successfully completes his task, but at this time, Du Ang suddenly heard someone muttering outside the door, and the people inside were far away and couldn't hear clearly, and Du Ang was sitting closest to the door, and he had Dirk's ability to be deaf and clear, So although the people outside spoke very quietly, Duang listened to them all.

"Your Majesty, you can't drink anymore, we are in an enemy country, we are in danger, you drink so much, once someone has intentions ......," said a middle-aged man's voice.

But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Carter: "Needless to say, they don't know my true identity, now I am just an envoy, and the relationship between the two countries is so tense, I don't believe that they will take one of my envoys...... Hehe, don't worry, although I am in the tiger's den, I am as safe as a rock, you all act carefully, don't say that you leak your mouth! ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, then I'll go in, the big prince is talking very interesting, hehe......"

After saying this, Carter shook his way back into the hall where the banquet was held.

All of a sudden, Duang was stunned!

Just now, what did that guy call Carter?

Your Majesty?

Who can be called Your Majesty?

No way!

Could it be that this Carter is just a pseudonym, and his real identity is ...... Emperor of the Byron Empire, Wolan?

This hypothesis suddenly came to Duang's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this assumption made sense.

Wolan, His Majesty the newly enthroned Emperor of the Byron Empire, is known for his boldness and daring, and he pretended to be an envoy to the Bauhinia Empire to find out, and he couldn't do this kind of thing. Moreover, in terms of grade, this Carter is also in line with Wolan's age, there is almost no difference, and the graceful and luxurious temperament brought out from his gestures is also very similar to the kind of child that can only be cultivated by an imperial family......

Really?

Duang was a little dizzy.

Whether it's true or not, but such a possibility is definitely there, so should you tell the eldest prince Powell about your guess?

Du Ang was hesitating, suddenly, he heard a noise outside the main hall, Du Ang turned his head to look, only to see sixteen young men wearing the traditional national costumes of the Bauhinia Empire walking in from outside, on their shoulders, carrying a huge tray, inside is a roast pig roasted to the outside is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a large red flower made of red cloth is draped on the body of the roast pig diagonally.

Then, behind them, there were twelve vocal artists dressed in flowers, six men and six women, holding various musical instruments in their hands, playing and singing as they walked. This is the last main dish that Powell just talked about -- roasted whole pig. This is one of the most famous state banquet dishes of the Bauhinia Empire, and it is only presented when the most distinguished guests are entertained.

Vocal artists sang and danced, enlivening the atmosphere, and in the eyes of all, a young man with a sharp knife in his hand cut two pig ears on the pig's head with great skill, and then divided them into two plates, raised them high above his head, and walked towards the chairman of the Great Prince Powell and Carter.

According to the rules of the Bauhinia Empire's banquet, after the dish of red-roasted whole pig is served, it must be accompanied by drum music, dancing while eating, and the two pig ears with the first knife must be dedicated to the two most noble people present.

This kind of thing, at the banquet of the Bauhinia Empire, is a fixed rule, and the nobles of the Bauhinia Empire present are also commonplace, so after just taking a look, everyone is busy with their own things, drinking when they should drink, eating vegetables when they should eat, this is where the hosts show their faces, and it has nothing to do with the ordinary people who accompany the guests.

They ate their own, but Duang kept watching intently, because compared with the old nobles who often came to accompany the guests, he was a dirt bun who had not seen much of the world, and he had attended no more than ten royal banquets, and the red roasted whole pig was the first time he had seen it, which was a very new experience for Duang.

But at this time, Duang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Depend on...... Those who carry pigs, and those who sing and dance, why are they shining in their waists? What the hell?

Knife?

What are they doing with knives?

Du Anghuo stood up suddenly, and almost without thinking about it, he shouted: "Not good! ”

And almost at the same time, the person who sent the pig's ears to the upper plate, at some point, suddenly had a bright dagger knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he stabbed directly into the chest of the eldest prince Powell.

Assassinate!

Everyone, including the Grand Prince Powell and Carter, was almost stunned.

No one thought that someone would be so blatantly assassinated in this heavily guarded palace, and they didn't expect that in this place where even a fly flew over and had to be searched, someone would directly bring in a knife, and it wasn't a person.

Seeing that the tip of the knife was getting closer and closer to his chest, the eldest prince Powell had no intention of dodging, because he was completely stunned.

Totally unexpected!

But at this moment, almost in the blink of an eye, a bleating sound was heard, a flash of white smoke flashed, and the assassin was about to succeed, but suddenly he became a poor little sheep, his hand became a hoof, and the sharp dagger knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Kill!"

With a shout, the sturdy men who carried the roast pig and the vocal artists who played and sang were all like a trick all of a sudden, they all took out daggers in their hands, and without saying a word, they pounced on the eldest prince Powell and Carter, originally they wanted to wait for the eldest prince Powell to be killed, scattered on all sides, and control those nobles, but they didn't expect the assassin to miss unexpectedly, so they didn't care about it, gave up their original goal, and rushed directly towards the eldest prince Powell.

However, it was too late.

In the banquet hall, there were more than a dozen guards on duty, responsible for protecting the safety of the host and guest, in fact, in the original opinion, in such a safe place, their existence was basically meaningless, who could assassinate in such a well-defended palace? So just now, the spirit of those guards was not very concentrated, so that suddenly a situation happened, and they didn't have time to react in time, and now, they are also relieved, and those assassins are also far away from the great prince Powell, and with a shout, the guards all gathered around and started a melee with those bold assassins.

Although the number of assassins was slightly larger, they were all a rabble with little strength, all of them were ordinary people with weapons, after losing the first hand, how could these ordinary people withstand the pull of these wolf-like guards? After a while, they lost their combat effectiveness under the onslaught of the guards, and almost all of them were wounded, and the buddy who was turned into a sheep was the most unlucky, and before he could even change back into human form, he was swarmed by several guards, and with the spears in his hands, he pierced several large holes in his body that were bubbling and bleeding, and fell to the ground and died.

Almost dying, Powell was so shocked that his head was covered with sweat, and under the protection of several guards, he shouted loudly: "Don't kill them all, keep them alive, stay alive!" ”

The captain of the guard, named Miller, was a calm middle-aged man of thirty-five years old, a level 42 knight, he held the scabbard in one hand, and pointed the heavy sword on his back in the other hand at the several assassins who were surrounded in the middle, and said: "The matter has come to this, stop making senseless resistance, put down the weapons in your hands, and surrender!" ”

Surrender?

Surrender poop!

Assassination in the palace, it was originally a life of nine deaths, these people came in with the determination to die, none of them wanted to get out alive, now there is no room for turnaround, the defeat has been decided, these assassins are really called a strong, eyes turned their hearts and hearts, they all raised the daggers in their hands, and cut their throats without hesitation, the movements were fast, just like the same, the fast Miller didn't stop him, in the blink of an eye, a large body fell on the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, All the participants had fallen to the ground without a sound, not even a single one left alive.

Seeing this scene, Miller's face turned pale, thinking that he was miserable now, although the eldest prince Powell and the envoy of the Byron Empire were not injured, but his own responsibility for this crime was also small, first of all, the person in charge of security inspection outside was also his own subordinates, and he actually put these assassins with blades in, second, when the first assassin was assassinated just now, he did not react, and he did not defend in time, and third, after the eldest prince issued the order to stay alive, All of the Assassins committed suicide, leaving not even a single one alive...... Damn, how can I tell you if I find out about this matter? No matter how you look at it, it looks like you're in the same league with them, isn't this sticking a mallet into your eyes?

Miller has the heart to cry.

When such a thing happened in front of the envoy of the Byron Empire, the eldest prince Powell was naturally disgraced, his face was pale, and he roared: "What the hell is going on?" Can anyone give me an explanation? Where did these assassins come from? ”

Interpretation?

Who would dare to talk at this time? Even if you really have any ideas, you don't dare to say it, isn't that unpleasant for yourself?

Therefore, the eldest prince Powell shouted for a long time, and no one squeaked, and the hall was quiet, and even a needle could be heard.

Powell also found that he was a little out of shape at this time, he had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and asked people to carry all the corpses on the ground down, after all, this is the palace, and these corpses cannot be allowed to lie in the hall all the time, he used a very unfriendly look to look at Miller, who was silent and pale, and then slowly ordered the people around him: "Check the ...... for me" (to be continued.) )
