After a whole night of burning in the imperial capital, the open flames in the imperial city were finally extinguished. But there is still a thick cloud of smoke over the Imperial City, and if you don't pay attention to these dark fires, they are likely to revive again. The corridors of the palace were full of ordinary soldiers and miscellaneous servants who were paralyzed from a hard day's work. Although the world has developed electric technology, in terms of rescue, it is still using the most primitive buckets to carry water to fight fires.

A group of people used containers to fill the pond with water and then ran to the fire site to extinguish the fire, not to mention how much water could be transported into the fire in one trip, in terms of geographical location, the imperial city was built on a high mountain, there were no wells and other facilities, and the water in the few decorative ponds was simply not enough to support the amount of water used to extinguish the fire. If it weren't for the fact that there were enough people in the imperial city, plus the general Bude used the imperial equipment. Admüller had carved a partition in the Imperial City, and I was afraid that the fire would have gotten out of control long ago

In the hunter's headquarters, Will slumped limply in his chair. Yesterday, the whole person was highly nervous and guarded all night, although the emperor's physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he had been guarding against the assassin who would rush out at any time for a sneak attack all night, and his body was fine, but his spirit was unbearable

Shaking his head, Will opened his eyes slightly and swept over several people in the headquarters. Lan was closing his eyes and recuperating, and Porus seemed to be going to the kitchen to prepare today's breakfast, and since the hunters had tasted the food made by Porus, the uncle, who was called a winner in life, had become the hunter's special chef when he had nothing to do. Seleuc was lying listlessly on the table, with patches of smoky ash on his face, and Xiaobi on the side seemed to feel his master's mood, and he was also listless on Seleuc's lap. Black Hitomi is in the best condition of the several, and as long as there are cookies to eat, her spirits are not low

One, two, three, four, five......

Will silently counted the number of people present. Counting the five of him and a pet dog, it was great that everyone was safe and sound all night, and the captain would come over in a while......

Thinking of Captain Estes, Will suddenly realized that he had missed someone

"Hey! Do any of you still remember, Qiuchen came back last night" Will was shocked, slapped the table with both hands, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly, instantly attracting the attention of several people around him, "Who remembers where he was when the fire broke out, he didn't seem to have come back since he went out last night...... It's definitely not going to disappear......"

A drop of cold sweat left on Will's forehead, and he swept the others with a fluke look, hoping that someone would stand up and tell him that Qiuchen had already returned, but you didn't see it. But after he finished sweeping around, as expected, everyone was --- confused

"It seems like it was Will's turn to be on duty last night......" Kurotomi chewed on the biscuit, rolling her eyes in recollection, but the soft voice sounded like a hammer slamming into Will

"That's right," Seleu nodded in agreement, "When it was our turn to be on duty, we all stared at him step by step, only Will was derelict in his duties, yes, dereliction of duty!" Sai Leu raised his fist, deliberately accentuating the pronunciation of the last four words, and Xiaobi under him also raised his little paws, "What a shame on the captain's trust in you!" ”

"Yes, it seems that Will agreed when Qiuchen went out last night" Lan said solemnly with his chin, thinking about it, he stretched out two fingers, took out a page from the book, and held a quill in the other hand and wrote on the paper, "Come, let me write Will's confession, and give it to her when the captain comes over later, and Will, you come here to sign and draw." But I'm surprised that you're joking."

"Hey, hey, hey! Is this a direct conviction! What is it like to write a confession! Shouldn't it be a good teammate to bear it together! Will grabbed his hair with both hands and shouted dissatisfiedly, but when he thought of his captain's expression when he saw that his subordinates failed to complete the task, coupled with the rumors about Estes in the emperor, Will felt a chill in his back for a moment

Do you want to prepare a suicide note in advance?

Wrong! How could I die here! I'm the man who will get married in my hometown after the country is settled!

"Hey~ Everyone, you guys are very lively here" Suddenly, the door in front of Will was pushed open with a snap, and everyone looked over, only to see Qiuchen, who was still discussing whether he had escaped, standing at the door, "Last night's fire was really not small, are you all right, by the way, I seemed to see a person's death omen shining in the sky just now......"

Before he finished speaking, Qiuchen noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he frowned, and asked tentatively, "Uh, you guys...... What's wrong? ”

When Qiuchen came in, the originally lively hunter headquarters suddenly fell into a mysterious silence, a few seconds later, like a leaky ball, several people instantly dispersed, the table should be lying dead again, the biscuit eater continued to eat the biscuit with his fingers, Lan threw the white paper in his hand into a ball of garbage basket, yawned and picked up a book to look through, only Will seemed to be told of his innocence at the moment before the execution of the death row, his hands drooped and walked to Qiuchen's side, patted him on the shoulder

"Uh, I said, what the hell is going on......" The corners of Qiuchen's mouth twitched, am I the rhythm of Cheng Xingxing?

"No, it's good, thank you for saving me" Wilpi nodded with a smile, sighed, and lay back in his chair as if he was free, feeling several years old

The corners of Qiu Chen's eyes jumped, but he decided not to delve into what was going on, and it was important to get down to business. After his gaze jumped over a few people, he walked over to Ran, who was still normal, and asked, "Do you know that Minister Earnest is there now?"

"Chancellor Earnest?" Lan glanced at Qiuchen suspiciously, lowered his head and thought for a while, "He is ...... now." It should be in the inner courtyard of the Imperial City...... After all, the former minister Jolly had brought impeachment against him in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and I think he is now preparing to speak...... What does this do, you ask? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ask suddenly" Qiuchen grinned, "Maybe I'll find him for something, well~ don't care, just say it casually"

At this time, the night attack on the headquarters

The white carrier pigeon flew by, circled the sky a few times, and then landed obediently on Lubbock's raised arm. Lubbo lowered his arm, touched the pigeon's wings, and skillfully removed the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and handed it to Brand, who was watching from the sidelines

"The boss has finally arrived," Leonay asked, leaning against the wall with his hands behind his head, "Brand, what did the boss say, is it the next task we have to do?" ”

"Ah~ don't worry, let me see" Brand moved his shoulders and opened the rolled up letterhead. Mayne, Ciel, Red Pupil, and Tazmi gathered around him, staring at Brand

After opening the letter and looking at it a few times, Brand's face suddenly became solemn, and then he put away the note, causing several people around him to look at each other strangely, and finally Tazmi couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what does the boss want us to do?"

"yes, Brand, what's the mission?" asked Mayne, pinching her waist. For the first time, she saw a solemn expression on Brand's face, and it was rare for him to have any assassination targets that made Brand feel tricky, "This evening, the vanguard of the revolutionary army led by the boss will probably arrive in the imperial capital area, and we will ...... Wait a minute! Should it be ......" Ma Yin suddenly seemed to think of something, and covered her mouth in surprise

Brand took a deep breath and nodded, "That's right, this will be our last goal," he looked at his companions with resolute eyes. Listening to Brand say this, the rest of the people almost guessed what the mission was

"Tomorrow morning, the target will appear in the circular assembly hall of the imperial capital, and when the time comes, it will be up to us to cut off the root of the empire's decay--- Minister Ornest!"

(Thanks to the little delusion, Mo Xiaotian's fluttering reward.) Happy New Year everyone, this is the first update)
