Chapter 49: The Tokyo Massacre (3)

"What's wrong?"

"This morning, the body of the Great Venerable was just dug up from under the ruins of the Great Temple of the Far East."

Thinking of a few minutes before the Kanto land broke out, Qin Beiyang sighed slightly: "He really didn't escape!" ”

Schmidt, the gatekeeper, looked back in the direction of Nihonbashi, and the excavation crowd was mixed with several Western faces, apparently members of the Craftsman Union: "Don't let them see you!" ”

"Could it be that ......" Qin Beiyang remembered one of the most dangerous possibilities, "what do they think?" ”

"The three archdeacons think you assassinated the Great Venerable!"

"Because I am the leader of the Assassin League, the heir of Assasin, and I have come to assassinate me under the guise of negotiations? Sounds like a no-brainer. ”

"Everybody thinks so!"

Qin Beiyang hid in a half-collapsed dilapidated room and asked in a deep voice, "Since the body of the Great Venerable has been discovered, why don't you check the cause of death?" Whether it was an assassination or not, at least the forensic doctor will have a conclusion! ”

"The Great Venerable was crushed in the ruins of the secret room at the bottom of the Far Eastern Great Temple, and he had already been crushed to pieces, only one face was still basically intact, and there was no way to test the cause of death."

"Schmidt! You see with your own eyes, I am innocent! ”

"Yes, but my title is only gatekeeper, and the three archdeacons have taken over the authority of the High Venerable, and they don't believe what I say at all. The more important reason is that they hate me! ”

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!"

Qin Beiyang originally thought that Taibai Mountain and the Assassin Alliance were like this, and the well-organized Artisan Alliance turned out to be not exempt from vulgarity.

"I am a close friend of His Holiness and his family and I also speak German, so I have become His Holiness's confidant, and he always praises me in front of everyone: I don't worry about you doing things! The three archdeacons, the Americans, the British, and the French, considered me to be on the side of Germany in the world war, contrary to the spirit of the Craftsmen's secret support for the Entente. His Holiness was terminally ill and his days were numbered, and he was carried by us to the World Congress, and everyone thought that I was taking advantage of His Holiness's serious illness to take charge of the great government. The three deacons, on the surface, advance and retreat together, but in fact they are not in harmony with each other, and they each form a gang and send a group of people, behind which are the forces of their respective countries: the American gang, the British gang, and the French gang...... Originally, there was a German gang, but with the defeat of Germany and the death of the Great Venerable, it was about to collapse. ”

Schmidt talked about the internal struggle of the Craftsmen Alliance, which turned out to be a wonderful palace fight.

"Understood, the death of the Great Venerable is exactly the result they have been looking forward to for a long time!"

The monarch collapsed and failed to establish a prince, and the sons must fight for the throne - Qin Beiyang used the laws of Chinese history to think about the artisan alliance.

"Well, the current three archdeacons all want to ascend to the throne of the twenty-fifth generation of the Great Venerable, and the Craftsman Alliance will definitely fall into a bloody civil war, and the forces of the countries behind the scenes will also appear."

"Will this Kanto earthquake be a turning point for the Artisan Alliance to turn from prosperity to decline, and the Assassin Alliance to revive from the bottom?"

Taiki Haneda couldn't help but interject. The earthquake not only killed the 24th Great Venerable of the Craftsmen Alliance, but also wiped out half of the gatekeepers, and more than 40 European master craftsmen were crushed to death under the Great Temple of the Far East – meaning that many great skills would be lost.

The League of Assassins made a beautiful comeback with no effort, and with the power of nature alone!

"The three deacons have reached a secret agreement, if anyone can avenge the Great Venerable and capture or kill you, 'China Qin Beiyang', they will support whoever ascends to the throne of the next Great Venerable!"

"So, everyone in the Artisan Union is going to kill me?"

"The order has been issued!"

The gatekeeper Schmidt's expression was serious, and he was definitely not joking.

"This is my fate! I'll take it with ease! ”

As a mortal person who was terminally ill like the Great Venerable, Qin Beiyang's face did not change.

"If they can't kill you in Japan, the Artisan Alliance will find a way to attack your lair."

"You're saying - the Far Eastern Great Temple of the Assassin Alliance, Taibai Mountain will also be in danger?"

"Just as more than six hundred years ago, the first Great Venerable Qin Jin helped the Mongols conquer the Heavenly Garden of Assasin, and the Artisan Alliance can also repeat it a second time."

"Ah Yu ......"

Qin Beiyang frowned, he was not worried about his life and death, but he didn't want to be involved on Taibai Mountain and wait for him to recite his wife.

"Qin, I've warned you, next, you can do it yourself! Hurry up and get out of Japan! Get out of the Assassin League as soon as possible, and stop being that puppet leader! Otherwise you will die without a place to bury, and the people around you! ”

Schmidt subconsciously glanced at the sixteen-year-old light.

"Last question, Schmidt, why are you trying to help me escape?"

"First, it's because of here!" Schmidt touched his heart, the meaning of his conscience, "Second, the Great Venerable intends to let you inherit the throne, there is always his reason, I believe his judgment is correct. ”

"Thank you! Please bow down to me! ”

Qin Beiyang knelt on his knees, and Schmidt was already on crutches and left silently.

Haneda Taishu patted Qin Beiyang on the shoulder: "You have a big deal again!" ”

"Brother, what the hell happened?"

The conversation was all in German, and Hikaru Saga didn't understand a word, but he could tell from their expressions the seriousness of the problem.

"You must not follow me anymore! I'll send you home first! ”

Qin Beiyang's gaze was fierce, this time he couldn't let the little girl be willful, so Sagaguang nodded timidly.

He changed into a dead man's outfit and covered his face with a hood to avoid being noticed by the Craftsmen's Union's eyeliner in Tokyo.

Taking advantage of the night, I walked around the Imperial Palace of Japan and walked to the Marquis Saga's residence, where a temporary wooden house had been erected on the large lawn.

Guang hugged Qin Beiyang and said goodbye, he promised to write to her, and maybe see you again in Shanghai in the future.

"Beiyang, I promise to send Princess Light to the Marquis of Saga." Taiki Haneda patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, I invited you to come to Japan, and it caused you so much trouble." ”

"No, I want to thank you, Mr. Haneda, because of your letter, I have the privilege of speaking with the Great Venerable of the Craftsman Alliance, and at the same time knowing so many secrets, it means a lot to me! As for the danger, from the day I was born in the Tang Dynasty Ancient Cemetery Palace, it has never left me. ”

Qin Beiyang let go of Sagaguang's hand, and in order to prevent the little girl from pestering people, he and Jiusetou ran away without looking back, and a "Ernie sauce" sounded behind him......

The next day, at dawn, Qin Beiyang came to the dock of Yokohama Port. A 10,000-ton steamship from China has unloaded all the relief supplies and is ready to return home. He decided to sneak into the cabin with Jiuse, and in a few days he would be able to return to Shanghai.

He was about to climb the gangway when a pure Chinese phrase sounded behind him: "Qin Beiyang!" ”

Turning her head vigilantly, the light of dawn shone on a girl's face.

"Yoshiko?"
