Chapter 431: Quid pro quo
The knife wound on Su Mu's waist was very miserable, at least it looked so bloody, countless blood was constantly oozing out of Su Mu's fingers, and there seemed to be no signs of healing at all.
But in fact, through the dress torn by Su Mu, Aiden was able to find it very clearly...... The knife wound on Su Mu's waist was also very shallow, and the short knife gently cut through Su Mu's superficial skin at an angle that did not contain killing intent at all, and did not hurt any root at all.
As for the blood that kept oozing out at this time, it was because of the poison quenched on the blade.
It was a poison that deliberately prevented the blood from clotting quickly and made the wound look more exaggerated, so simply from the outside, Su Mu's wound was also so miserable.
A trace of confusion finally erupted from under Aiden's eyes.
And with this dazed Dasheng, about some truths on the viewing platform tonight, Aiden has finally come to a relatively clear result in Su Mu's ingenious prompts:
There were three killers tonight...... One is the sword-wielder with the broken arm in front of him, the other is the one hidden in the Yunbin guard, and the other is the archer of the high-level realm.
In the previous moment, Aiden obviously thought that the three of them were from the same force, so he was so vigilant in his heart, and he had to persuade Wyatt to return to the mansion.
However, now it seems that not only did these three people not come from the same force, but they did not even have a minimum contact before they started.
Everyone, waiting for an opportunity to do it.
Therefore, Wyatt, as the speaker of the federal parliament, deliberately gave the other party this opportunity.
At this time, the knife bearer who fell on the platform with a broken arm turned out to be Speaker Wyatt's own person, and the purpose was to use his assassination to make a game, causing the rest of the eager people to show up.
Whether it's the Hidden One in the Guard, or the high-ranking archer who is watching the viewing platform with a longbow in hand, it's clear that they're not hovering around since today.
Therefore, Wyatt's behavior today is not so much a danger to discover the crisis, but rather a bait to lure out all those with bad intentions.
Only the enemy who is on the surface is the enemy, and the will to kill that exists in the secret cannot be used against them even by the Speaker's Residence.
But after tonight...... But the official residence already has enough reasons to do it!
......
"Your Excellency, the administrator of the Yunbin Heavenly Palace wants to see you?"
At the same time that Aiden had just understood the truth, because of Wyatt's insistence and reluctance to leave, the person who was most nervous in his heart now became the real manager of Yunbin Heavenly Palace.
After all, one of the three assassins was none other than a guard from inside the Yunbin Heavenly Palace.
And the assassin himself was not a recent member of the escort team, but had already served as a guard in the Yunbin Heavenly Palace a few years ago when the current speaker had just taken office.
As for Yunbin Heavenly Palace, their own responsibility is obviously irrefutable, and what their managers are most afraid of now is only:
Will Wyatt take advantage of the topic and directly point the finger at the Supreme House behind Yunbin Heavenly Palace?
"Let him in, let him see for himself what this place is like by him. ”
With Wyatt's order, the people of the security bureau who had already taken over the Yunbin Heavenly Palace had already taken over in essence, and only then did they put the real managers of the Yunbin Heavenly Palace into the viewing platform.
Barton, the manager of the Yunbin Heavenly Palace, was originally an upper-class celebrity with an elegant appearance.
But at this moment, under the constant impact of various news tonight, Barton has no intention of tidying up his messy bow tie at all, and he doesn't care about the stains on the corners and cuffs of his clothes.
Just a little nervous and uneasy, he carefully explained to Speaker Wyatt:
"Your Excellency, the assassin in the guard has identified him as an Imperial Dead Soldier who has long been hiding within the Federation. The reason why he has been lurking in the Federation for many years is probably waiting for some opportunity to cause chaos in the Federation. And tonight happened to make him see some kind of hope, so he chose to do it so ruthlessly. ”
After all, Barton was in charge of the huge Yunbin Heavenly Palace, and at this time, he still knew how to avoid the most unfavorable changes.
Putting the blame directly on the distant empire was undoubtedly the first step in clearing one's name, and the real purpose of vaguely naming the assassins was to create chaos, which was the second step that Barton explained.
It is clearly a reasonable thing for an Imperial pawn to want to plunge the Confederacy into strife.
Therefore, even as the administrator of the Yunbin Heavenly Palace, and the Supreme House of the Federation behind the administrator, of course, they could not avoid all the conspiracies from the Empire.
Ultimately...... It's all the ambitions of the Empire!
......
However, with Barton's explanation, Wyatt just glanced at Barton coldly, not caring about the excuse given by Barton at this time.
Now, through Patton, a representative of the House, he said more bluntly:
"The Sheriff's Department is going to hunt down the Troublemakers tonight, but the Sheriff's forces can't control the entire Cloud District, so I have to seconded some of the Hanging Mountain Corps. ”
"You report this to the people behind you. The men I sent to deploy the troops are now on their way to the camp of the Hanging Mountain Corps. In the end, whether the other party can give me the answer I want is undoubtedly only determined by whether your reply is approved by them. ”
After Wyatt finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the shocked Patton, but turned his head slightly to look at the Yunbin Guard Hidden Man who was escorted to the side.
The corners of his mouth were even more inseparable, with a hint of mockery.
"A few years is not enough time for you to find out his identity, but only a moment after he did it, you will know his identity...... It's quite a coincidence!"
Although Wyatt said that it was a coincidence, the truth of the matter was obviously not a coincidence.
Regarding the imperial identity of the assassin, even Su Mu was obviously very sure of this, after all, if there was no real evidence, Barton would not dare to make such a direct threat.
But at this moment, it is precisely because Barton can give real evidence in an instant that this shows ...... The identity of that assassin was naturally known to Yunbin Heavenly Palace for a long time, and now it was deliberately allowing the existence of the other party, wanting to use this imperial assassin to do something.
Therefore, Wyatt's request at this time is undoubtedly an exchange of interests.
As long as the Supreme Council agrees to Wyatt's request to send the Hanging Mountain Corps, Wyatt will no longer be interested in the matter of the Imperial Assassin.
Otherwise, the House should think about it...... How to explain the existence of that assassin!
