Chapter 79: The New Emperor (2)
"Lawlessness, this is simply lawlessness!"
There was a roar from the palace, and it seemed to be some old minister.
The man sent by the City Patrol to report the news was Kathu, who was half-kneeling in front of Badr with his head bowed.
Hearing this, Badr did not show the slightest anger on his face, although this incident was unexpected, it was still expected by him.
Seeing that Badr was expressionless, the old minister said bitterly.
"What do these people want to do on the back three streets, do they want to go against the sky! Your Majesty's body is not cold, and there is such a big incident in the back third street, if I want to say that I should not let this group of untouchables stay in Turin at all, His Majesty Bedford is still too merciful. ”
"Yes, he's too kind."
Badr muttered to himself, then looked up at the old man.
"Uncle Shuhe, I will entrust my father's funeral to you, and I will solve this kind of trivial matter."
Shu He slapped his thigh, his expression more sad than Fang Cai.
"Badr, isn't this matter left to Rackmond, he can't even handle such a trivial matter!"
"Uncle,"
Badr grew impatient, why did the old man always like to point fingers?
He took a deep breath and said pretending to be calm.
"I'll settle this, before the celebration. You're getting older, so it's better for you to worry less about these things. ”
Not intending to listen to Schuh's noise again, Badr walked out quickly, as he always did when he was in a bad mood.
It was twilight, and the palace was not as busy as expected, as if the death of His Majesty the Emperor was only a trivial matter.
But really, who but a few people would grieve at the death of their father, and they would not even have time to rejoice.
Thinking of this, Badr smiled self-deprecatingly.
As if knowing he was here, Gaia walked briskly.
The Griffon Legion has been guarding the palace for some time, and his presence is not surprising.
Leaning over to Badr, Gaia leaned over and said.
"Reddia's people moved, just tonight."
Badr raised his eyes.
"Are you sure?"
"Determined ......"
Gaia hesitated and said, "And the other news is also true, the Venadians are really going to attack Hidam City tomorrow night, and the spies have confirmed this news. Until they attack, I'll hold my ground and try to capture a few prisoners and pry something out of their mouths. ”
"Gaia, I'm curious."
Badr tapped the railing beside him and motioned for Gaia to sit down with him.
Gaia nodded, and sat down at just the right distance from Badr as he gazed at the golden sunset at the end of the clouds.
"The Griffin Legion is stationed in the eastern border of the Empire, and you have dealt with the Venadas the most, and even you don't know the news, why would Raidia know."
Gaia scratched her head and said embarrassedly.
"If it weren't for the identity of Her Highness Rhodia...... I almost suspect he's a spy sent by the Venadas. ”
"Spy Venada."
Badr squinted slightly, he seemed to remember something, but it was a flash of light.
"Since Redia has chosen to act tonight, then our plan has also been advanced to tonight, and there must be no mistakes in this matter."
A hint of confusion flashed across Gaia's face, but it quickly turned to determination.
"Yes, Your Highness."
......
"When I was a kid, I loved to come here to play hide and seek, but back then everyone liked to play tricks on me, and I was always looking for someone."
Walking along the boulevard with Logo, Lydia reminisced about the past from time to time.
The boulevard has been cleared of snow, and the road is lined with snow-covered forests, making it a pleasant sight to walk on.
Unlike Rhea, Loin looked warily to the left and right, and as a rebel, she was fully conscious.
Behind them were a dense mass of white-armored soldiers, who joined the underground street from Fifth and Sixth Streets, then from the deserted Fourth Street, and finally through the gap in the palace to the palace.
Seeing that he was at the end of the boulevard, Luo Yin said in a low voice.
"Your Highness Redia, it's time for your shift."
Rhodia nodded, raising her left hand, and behind him, two thousand soldiers tumbled into the woods like ghosts, and the entire boulevard returned to its usual silence with the rustle of snow being trampled.
After a while, the guards in charge of the patrol ran past the crowd laughing and laughing, dressed in the red and black armor of the Griffin Legion, and telling stories about Badr, indicating that they were eager for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Standing in the bushes, Rhaedia stared at it all with a blank face.
Whether he was happy or angry, it was logical that he should have an expression, but his expression was very calm.
When the guards were gone, Loin tried to get to his feet, but was pushed back by Redia.
"Your Highness..."
Loin sat down on the lawn, and Rhaedia was half-crouched, looking at her.
From an outsider's point of view, it looked like Rhodia was holding her.
She blinked.
"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing."
Rhodia whispered, but he added.
"Wait."
"But the next guard is already on their way."
Confused, Loin nodded.
She stood up half-crouched and stood still in the bushes in the same position she had just been.
The other guards kept a distance from the two of them, so there was silence around them.
After sitting upright for a while, Loin turned her head suspiciously, she felt that something was very wrong with Redia today.
He kept his eyes on the city wall, and his expression was heavy.
Loin reassured.
"Your Highness, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature......"
Redia interrupted her.
"It's inevitable to be reluctant."
Loin wanted to say something, but Rhodia was quick to speak.
"Logo, do you know why I advanced tomorrow night's action to today?"
"I don't know,"
Loin replied subconsciously, but she reacted quickly.
"What do you mean...... Someone in the team you don't trust? ”
Redia tilted her head, then nodded slowly.
"I checked it out in the morning."
Loin tensed up.
"The news hasn't been leaked, you should consider your own safety!"
“......”
Redia could see what he wanted to say, but he didn't say anything, just sighed, and turned back.
The footsteps sounded again on the boulevard, and they were the new guards on duty, and from the footsteps, they numbered about thirty people, twice as many as usual.
As the group of soldiers drew closer, Lotus and Rhodia held their breath together to prevent some curious guard from spotting them.
There were more soldiers than expected, and the period seemed a little longer.
After the last footsteps were gone, Loin slowly lifted her head, and she tried to stand up, but was quickly pushed back by Rhaea.
On her back was a large, thick hand, and to the left of it was the saber at Redia's waist, which had pierced Login's throat at some point.
She wasn't dead yet, I don't know if she opened her mouth unconsciously or consciously, but she didn't say anything.
As soon as he lifted her up, Rhodia turned her behind her.
Luo Yin is a good commander of the army, and she can see at a glance that the number of people here is very wrong, compared to just now, there are at least half of the people now.
She finally knew what Redia meant by waiting, he was going to deal with the traitors in the team after the plan was underway, which would ensure that nothing leaked out.
Throwing Loin onto the lawn, Redia drew her sword back and muttered.
"You've been with me for three years, and it's inevitable that you're reluctant...... I gave you a chance. ”
Loin twitched a few times, and a wisp of blood poured out of her neck, quickly staining the snow-white chainmail red.
Rhodia didn't look at her, and instead commanded the other man.
"Have you cleaned up the traces?"
The man had a spear in his hand, the tip of which was bloody.
"Your Highness, it's all cleaned up."
"Good,"
Raider is a very suspicious person, he will definitely worry about why I don't do it tonight, plus the city is destined to be unquiet tonight, and when people are tired in the second half of the night, we will do it immediately." ”
The man nodded, buried the tip of the spear deep in the earth, and spun it twice with force.
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll tell everyone to dispose of the smell of blood, and then stay put."
