Chapter Twenty-Six: The Moon

After half a day's drive, the carriage of the former minister Joli drove into the patrol range of the imperial capital garrison before night fell completely. After seeing the walls of the imperial capital not far away, the soldiers in the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after experiencing the assassination during the day, many people present had a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives After hastily burying the fallen soldiers, the convoy rushed all the way, and the distance that was supposed to arrive at the imperial capital the next morning was shortened by half. There was no rest along the way, but no one complained. After all, no one knows if there will be a second wave of assassins after discovering that the first assassination failed, and no one dares to gamble with their lives

In the carriage, after listening to Qiuchen's words about the Assassin, Jolly fell into deep thought, "It's actually Estes...... It's troublesome...... I didn't expect her to join Minister Earnest's faction, I originally thought it was just to deal with the minister, but I didn't expect him to actually put his hand into the army"

"Is this General Estes very powerful" Seeing Joli's expression as if he was facing a great enemy, Qiu Chen asked curiously, "I heard that recently, the leader of a killer organization used to be a general of the Empire, but a general wouldn't show such an expression, right?"

"If it were other generals, the old man wouldn't be surprised, but General Estes ...... She is one of the two strongest in the empire" Jolly was full of solemnity, she was just temporarily emerging when I left, and the reclusive old man had also heard of her exploits in recent years, but she had not been too young for her to become a figure on par with General Bude. I don't know how Minister Earnest won her over, but if the Minister has her support, General Bud will think twice even if he wants to cut off the Minister's wings."

"Sounds like a very dangerous character," Qiu Chen nodded thoughtfully

"Originally, according to the practice of the empire, the general guarded the imperial capital, and the other generals led their legions to protect the territory," added Spiya on the side. She was bandaged around her abdomen. Daidas's attack did not cause fatal injuries, but it was enough for her to stop for several days, "But for some reason, General Estes did not continue to stay with the army after defeating the alien peoples of the north, but returned to the imperial capital ......"

"Maybe it's because of this," Qiu Chen said, pulling out a stack of leaflets, which he had scoured from the Assassin. Each of them brought a large pile with them, apparently intending to scatter the leaflets after the assassination was successful. On the flyer, a large night owl was printed in the most conspicuous place, and the phrase was marked under the pattern-----Night attack, punish the wicked!" "Recently, there have been many rich high-ranking officials or heads of criminal groups who have been assassinated by the famous assassination organization in Imperial Capital, night raids."

"Was it planted by the minister......" Jolly took the flyer and looked at it carefully, trying to find any clues from the flyer, "It is not uncommon in the history of the empire to support killers and eliminate their own competitors"

"No, no, no, I think this has nothing to do with the minister, and Minister Earnest still hates this killer group to the core" Qiuchen put away the leaflet "Minister Earnest's relatives were assassinated by them a few days ago, I think the emperor issued an edict at this time to let Estes return to the imperial capital, I am afraid it was also the minister's instruction, to deal with the night attack... If you want to deal with the minister, you don't need to treat the night raid as an enemy"

Qiu Chen's first reaction when he first saw the leaflet was surprise, but after a few seconds, he figured it out, not to mention that the combat style of the three of them was not like a night attack, just what they said about General Estes exposed that they were just trying to frame them

Turning back and showing the flyers to the leaders of the night raids, I wonder how they would react to seeing their fame

After the carriage drove into the imperial capital, it rushed to the inner city where General Bud was located. And Qiuchen and Nero don't need to follow up, Qiuchen doesn't want to expose himself too much until he is sure

After telling them where they lived, Qiuchen and Nero got out of the carriage in the lower city

Seeing the carriage leave, Qiu Chen looked around at the uneasy and kind eyes in the surrounding alleys, and increased a lot.

Really, do you want to catch a few tomorrow and ask who is the one who asked them to spy on the pride of the lion king, just greedy for money? Or ulterior motives. Although most of them are nothing more than a bunch of hooligans, it is also annoying to have too many flies

Nero didn't think as much as Qiuchen did, and sometimes Qiuchen felt that Nero was really the same as she said, just coming on vacation to experience the detective story of Sherlock Holmes by the way. I saw her stretch her waist, showing her proud figure without caring about it, "I'm going to take a bath, Qing go and make some preparations, um~ Today is really a pleasant day"

In an instant, there were more hot eyes around him

"Okay, okay, I know" Qiuchen scratched the back of his head and sighed, "The bath is in the back, I remember that there is still a lot of hot water in the bucket, you can take care of the rest"

Ignoring Nero's subsequent protest of dissatisfaction with his perfunctory attitude, Qiu Chen walked up to the guest room on the second floor in two steps.

Let's go to the night attack headquarters tomorrow to have a look, tonight I have to prepare the rest of Sha You's things, looking at her state in the past few days, it is estimated that she will be able to wake up soon, although she is very confident in her own method of pulling the soul, but before that, I still have to explain a few more words to Iyeas, for fear that he will see Sha You wake up and then do something that may stimulate Sha You because he is too excited

When he was first resurrected, his soul was very fragile, and he didn't know what the consequences would be if he stimulated it, but everything was careful, and there was no chance to delete the file and start over

As soon as he walked to the second floor and pushed the rooms open, Qiu Chen heard a gust of wind in his ears. Tilting his head slightly, a wooden stick brushed the tip of his nose and swung it over

Seeing that he missed the blow, the attacker withdrew his wooden stick and prepared to smash it on Qiu Chen's head again, but the latter did not give him a second chance to attack

Qiu Chen bent down and punched the attacker in the jaw from the bottom to the top, and with the sound of bone cracking, the attacker staggered back a few steps, and the stick in his hand also slipped from his hand to the ground. He just wanted to let out a wail in his throat, but Qiu Chen grabbed his neck and pressed it against the wall, and forcibly pressed it back

"My God, I just thought that someone would appear, and the little one came" Qiuchen pretended to be helpless and patted his forehead "Then, I think you should understand the current situation, say, who let you come, what are you doing, why do you want to attack me, say it and I will let you go"

"I just...... I want to get some money......" The attacker struggled to spit out a few words, and the sharp pain in his jaw made him unbearable, but Qiu Chen's tone as if he would dare to kill him in the next moment made him feel even more frightened

Mention the iron plate!

I thought that an innkeeper could have any ability, plus the intelligence said that he had just entered the imperial capital, and it was impossible to have any acquaintances, even if he was knocked unconscious, the imperial capital garrison ignored this kind of case of outsiders being robbed, and those team members were staring at the case in Shangcheng every day, maybe that time they solved the case and were taken by the nobles and wealthy businessmen in Shangcheng District, which was a shortcut to prosperity

But why is an innkeeper more difficult to deal with than those aristocratic guards!? Unfortunately, due to the lack of productive forces, the attackers were not able to shout the common exclamation

It's not scientific!

"But your soul tells me you're lying," Qiuchen's tone was full of regret, "It seems that you don't understand the preciousness of life," he said, and Qiuchen pulled out the knife he was carrying, making a gesture to stab him in the abdomen

"Wait, wait, wait! Don't kill me! There is also a discussion! The frightened attacker struggled a few times, and after realizing that it was impossible for him to break free from Qiu Chen's control, he immediately relented, "Actually, someone from above asked me to come here tonight to kill everyone in the hotel, and then disguise myself as a burglary, and someone else will solve the rest."

"That's it?"

"That's right, that's right! It's these," the attacker looked at the knife flipped between Qiu Chen's fingers in horror, for fear that Qiu Chen would say something in the next moment, 'You are worthless' and stab himself to death

Qiuchen closed his eyes, and after a while, he sighed, "Okay, you survived"

After that, before the attacker could say anything, Qiu Chen threw him out of the window with a flick of his arm. There was a click, and the attacker fell to the ground. And the peeping eyes around were also missing after the attacker was thrown out

It is estimated that this height will not kill him, but it will be enough for him to lie in bed for several months. Qiuchen probed his memories when he was at his most mentally unstable, but unfortunately he was just an errand runner, and there was no point in dwelling on him. Is it your recent actions that have attracted too much attention? Or is someone deliberately trying to test themselves? Thinking that he might have been targeted by an unknown enemy, Qiu Chen couldn't help but feel a little irritated in his heart

It's clear that you've been in the shadows, but you've been targeted by the other party before you notice the enemy...... It's okay if it's just a group of underground gangs that don't have long eyes, but if it's really the main god space, it means

The inn is no longer safe

Let's go talk to Night Raid tomorrow, Qiuchen walked to the window and closed the door and window. He needed a definite source, and the former minister Jolly, who had left the imperial capital a few years ago, was clearly not enough
