Chapter 68: Conspiracy
Su Bai asked calmly, "What conspiracy?" ”
Ezio took a deep breath and said, "The Pache family is planning to assassinate the Medici family in front of the cathedral tomorrow, and this plot has the consent of the Pope!" ”
"It's in line with their usual style." Su Bai nodded matter-of-factly.
"We've got to stop them!" Ezio said, "We can't let them get it. ”
"I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." Su Bai said, "There is more than one member of the Medici family, and it is difficult to be foolproof even if only the important members of it are protected. The other side can mobilize much more power than we do. ”
"Should we just sit idly by?" Ezio shouted.
"Of course not." Su Bai spread his hands, looked at Ezio, and said, "Ezio, I remember that the Auditore family and the Medici family are allies, right?" ”
Ezio was stunned for a moment and nodded, "That's right. How? ”
"I wonder, why are you going to help them?" Su Bai said meaningfully: "When the people of the Patch family did something to the Auditore family, the Medici family didn't do anything. ”
"I ......" Ezio was stunned for a moment, speechless.
In front of his eyes, his father, elder brother, and younger brother seemed to be hanged in front of the lord's palace, and his fists were clenched unconsciously.
Su Bai stood aside with his hands on his chest, watching his reaction quietly.
After a few moments, Ezio let out a long breath and broke the silence: "It was because of what happened in the first place that I couldn't let a new conspiracy happen again. Regardless of the Medici, they must not fall prey to the Templar machination. I'm fighting the Templars now, not saving the Medici. ”
Hearing this, Su Bai bowed slightly: "It's good if you can figure it out." In that case, let's go out first. Stopping the Templar plot requires some preparation. Perhaps more intelligence could be obtained from Raborpe. ”
Ezio nodded.
The three of them left the area, found the mechanism, opened the passage to the surface, and came to the river.
Raborpe was sitting on the side.
Ezio and Su Bai glanced at each other and walked towards him.
"I know when Francisco will go and where he will appear." Ezio sat down next to Francisco, "but ......"
"What's wrong?" Labolpe asked quietly.
Ezio said in a heavy tone, "I overheard something...... They had enough weapons to arm an entire army. Even the Pope supported the operation! ”
"Huh......" Labore snorted coldly, "standard practice in Sykesshire. But...... What are they thinking? ”
"I didn't hear the details, but they seemed to be targeting the Medici family. And it will happen tomorrow morning at the cathedral. Ezio replied.
Labore said thoughtfully: "Tomorrow everyone in the Medici family will go to the main Sunday service......
As if thinking of something, he turned to look at Ezio and said in an accentuated tone, "And the people of Florence will also go, and they will do it in the middle of the High Mass!" ”
"But it's also an opportunity for us." "You can blend in with the crowd and approach slowly. Stop this crazy conspiracy. ”
Laborpe, who had already figured out the cause and effect, put his hand on Ezio's arm, and said solemnly, "If they succeed...... If we lose Lorenzo and Florence fall into the hands of the Pache family......"
"We're not going to let them get away with it." Su Bai said.
"That's right." Ezio nodded, his gaze determined, "I promise." ”
Laborpe looked at Su Bai and then at Ezio: "I hope you can do it." If there's anything you need my help with, please feel free to let us know. ”
"I need a detailed map of the vicinity of the cathedral, the more accurate the better." Su Bai said, "It's best to be able to figure out the path of the Medici family in order to find out where the Patch family might move." In addition, some weapons are needed. ”
"No problem, I can give you the most detailed maps and the best weapons." Raborpe stood up, "Please come with me." ”
……
The next day, in the square in front of the cathedral, a large number of people gathered here for the main day of service.
Ezio also crept into the crowd, approaching the inside unobtrusively.
"You've got to find out where Francisco is and keep an eye on him. You also have to find the Medici family and keep an eye on their surroundings at all times. Anyone who comes close to them could be a killer hiding in the shadows, so don't let your guard down. I'll have Muna work with you, and I'll back up with a bow and arrows from above. ”
"Remember, with the exception of two important members of the Medici family, Giuliano de' Medici and Lorenzo Medici, everyone else is a secondary target for conservation. Don't focus too much on them. ”
Rethinking Su Bai's commands, Ezio looked around to find his target as he moved forward.
"Francisco, where the hell is ......"
He was searching, the bell rang, and the crowd burst into cheers.
I saw a couple slowly walking over from the other side, smiling, and nodding to the crowd from time to time.
"That's Lorenzo and his wife." Ezio immediately recognized the two of them.
Behind the two, only a few lightly armed guards followed to protect them. Obviously, the Medici people did not expect that someone would do something to them at this time.
Lorenzo walked to the door of the church and stopped, and began to talk to several monks. Ezio continued to search the surroundings.
Soon, he found a second target for protection.
"Giuliano, Lorenzo's brother." Ezio's sharp gaze scanned the crowd, "Two of the most important members of the Medici family have appeared, where is Francisco?" ”
Soon, he noticed a commotion in the crowd next to the Giulianos. The two men pushed through the crowd and rushed towards the Giulianos.
"Found it! They intend to get their hands dirty now. ”
Ezio quickened his pace and moved closer to him.
There are a lot of guards around, and they should all be deployed by the Patch family. This made him not dare to make too many moves, otherwise he would be in trouble if he was entangled by the guards now.
I saw a fat man in red take out a short sword from his waist and rush towards Giuliano with a fierce face.
"Die, traitor!"
When Giuliano and his wife heard this, they turned their heads and saw a menacing man rushing forward with a short sword.
Poof!
Giuliano dodged subconsciously, but was still slashed by the short knife on the shoulder, and a large amount of blood shot out.
"Ahh
His wife let out a scream.
