Chapter 69: Conspiracy
……
"I see, I see!"
In the glittering and brightly lit hall of the Western Governor's Mansion and Prince's Residence, Prince McGee laughed with his gray goatee.
"Your Highness smiled."
At this time, the wine has been three rounds and the dishes have five flavors. Buchen had already told Prince McGee and the various brown-clothed dignitaries who came to accompany him to accompany him about his assassination of the king.
"Assassin King, I don't know if you still have the kind of primer you said?" A brown-clothed nobleman with a pair of small eyes, a beard with sideburns and cheeks, and a fat body opposite Buchen asked.
When everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to Buchen, and there was no doubt that this was their most concerned issue at the moment.
That's a weapon that can kill hundreds of strong people in an instant! If you light another shot in this hall...... The brown-clothed nobles collectively shrunk their necks, and they couldn't even think about the consequences......
Buchen shook his head regretfully: "Don't hide it, it's already used up!" In order to assassinate the Eight Kings of the Western Front, I have filled the bomb with all the primers given by my mentor. ”
"Really? That's a shame~~! The brown-clothed nobleman sighed and said, looking really regretful, but as long as anyone who knew this person knew that he was pretending.
This fat man doesn't believe in his arguments at all!
"Do you know the recipe?" The fat man asked again.
Buchen shook his head cleanly, "I don't know, this is a master's mastery, and it is easy not to pass it on." A lay disciple like me has only a very limited right to use it, and he is not qualified to learn how to make it. ”
The story that Buchen told to McGee was naturally a deleted version, and the gunpowder in it was falsely claimed by him as the peerless sect of the Eastern Continent Yin-Yang Sect, and he himself was a lay disciple of this sect.
"Is that so?" Seeing that Buchen's answer was not leaking, the fat man's face sank, but he didn't dare to attack. Not only because of the great reputation of the person who did not stab the king, but also because of the coercion of Prince McGee, you must know that the banquet here was held on the territory of His Royal Highness!
"The Assassin King, you can always give us a copy of the priming recipe you gave to the northern heretics, right?" Another brown-clad nobleman asked.
Buchen smiled bitterly and asked, "What do you want to do with that kind of primer that birds can't blow up?" Do you also want to make a 'gospel of the goddess'? ”
The nobleman really hit this idea, the kings and nobles in the north can see the economic value of this thing, how can they not see it in the brown-clothed nobles?
The noble man wanted to ask for it again, but was interrupted by Prince McGee before he arrived.
"Barum, shut up! I haven't given the promised 10 million gold coin bounty yet! You just want to take the priceless formula from others? How can there be such a thing in the world? ”
Immediately the nobleman's name Barum was silent. However, he did not obediently give up and continue to ask for the formula, but pressed it for the time being.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't listen to Prince McGee. But McGee's words have another meaning, and they haven't given a bounty yet, so it's naturally inconvenient to ask for the formula, but what about after paying it? Prince McGee didn't say anything......
Buchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, in order to keep the secret of gunpowder, he had already killed a lot of people, and the craftsmen in charge of gunpowder production in the artisan battalion of the Duchy of Abramo had been killed by him, and the factory was also burned down by him. If these brown-clothed nobles continued to persecute just now, he would probably have to do another bloody banquet hall.
"No, is your disguise really that magical? Can you give us a show? Prince McGee changed the subject and asked with an interested expression.
"No problem!"
Buchen agreed as soon as he pleased, and then he raised his arm suddenly, covering his face with his sleeve as if he had changed his face in Sichuan opera.
"Whoa!"
There was an inexplicable sound, and Buchen put his arm down, but at this time, his face had changed to the bearded fat nobleman who was the first to ask just now.
There is no doubt that the sound just now was made when the optical camouflage was activated.
The eyes of all the brown-clothed men in the hall widened, and after a while, Prince McGee was the first to come to his senses and slap his face!
"What a god! The secret technique of the Eastern Continent Yin-Yang Sect is truly breathtaking! Prince McGee said with sincere admiration.
"Your Highness has won the prize!" Buchen smiled and arched his hand, and changed his face back, but he was not very good at observing words and feelings, but he didn't notice that there was a trace of fear in Prince McGee's eyes when he looked at him just now, but he just covered it up well.
……
After the banquet that day, in Prince McGee's study.
"Your Highness, this assassin is too dangerous! We can't keep him! The fat man at the banquet just now said urgently.
"That's right! If he can assassinate the king of the pagans of the north for money, he can assassinate you for money! Another noble said.
"And he still refuses to hand over the recipe for the primer, which is really hateful!" The noble man who couldn't ask for the recipe said.
“……”
Prince McGee faced the bookshelf, but listened silently with his hands behind his back, but did not speak.
After a long time, he asked his daughter, "What do you think, Tasha?" ”
Standing in the corner of the study, the princess of Tasha had been frowning just now, but when she heard her father's question, she thought for a while and replied, "I think it's better not to provoke him." ”
"Princess, this is a relic of raising tigers! How to make it? ”
"That's right! At least keep the primer recipe behind! ”
As soon as the Tasha princess's voice fell, she provoked the saliva of a group of brown-clothed nobles.
"Shut up, I didn't ask you!" Prince McGee shouted angrily.
The nobles all shut their mouths in a daze.
Prince McGee turned away, not looking at them, but at his daughter. His men were accustomed to being domineering by power, and their instincts for danger had become very rusty, completely unaware of what kind of enemy they were facing at the moment.
That's not the obedient parishioners of the country, but the assassin of the king!
If you don't get it right, the first one to bear the brunt is him McGee!
Although he Prince McGee was also very interested in the powerful priming medicine and disguise technique, he had no intention of putting his life into it!
Seeing that her father had subdued the nobles, the Tasha princess continued: "It is because this assassin is very dangerous, so we can't act rashly, his induction and disguise techniques are good, if they are used well, they should be very valuable, but if we are not completely sure......"
Before the Tasha princess could finish her sentence, she was interrupted again.
"In other words, we can do it as long as we are sure?" The bearded fat man asked with a smile.
The princess of Tasha was stunned for a moment, "That's right, but after all, we have a promise first, if we break our promises and harm him, what will the people in the country think of us?" ”
The bearded fat man sneered, and said with disdain on his face: "He is either a heretic of the Eastern Continent Yin-Yang Sect, or an even more despicable unbeliever, why should we keep our promises to those who do not believe in the master?" As for the parishioners in the country? They will understand us. ”
"You're ...... like that"
Before the Tasha princess could say more, she was interrupted by the fat man, who turned to Prince McGee, crossed his arms over his chest and saluted: "Your Highness, I have a foolproof way!" You make a decision, are we going to do this or not? ”
Prince McGee was silent.
After a while, he frowned and asked, "Is your method really foolproof?" Maurard? "Prince McGee still hasn't resisted the temptation of disguise and powerful primers.
"That's right!"
The bearded fat man Maurard smiled sinisterly, and his small eyes narrowed into a thin slit: "I have a poison called 'Cultivator's Death', which is colorless and tasteless, and people will not feel anything for a while after taking it, but they just can't activate Dou Qi or magic, otherwise they will have an immediate attack, and the light ones will lose all their cultivation, and the heavy ones will die!" Tomorrow, His Highness only needs to put on another banquet, summon that kid to the banquet, put this poison in the wine and food, and then he can easily clean it up! ”
"So what do we do?" A brown-clothed nobleman asked, they were similar to the nobles in the north, they had all practiced fighting spirit.
"Don't worry, I have an antidote!" Maurard said, waving his hand.
In this way, all the problems are solved. That assassin kid doesn't know if it's stupid and bold or what, today at the banquet until the glass is dry, not worried about their poisoning at all, invite him to the banquet tomorrow, he should still be like this.
But his two female assistants are a little troublesome, these two have been standing behind the kid today, and they haven't eaten a mouthful of wine or food, and they will be the same tomorrow.
But...... It's just two women, how much wind and waves can they stir up? The most important thing is the kid who assassinated the king! As long as you put him down, it's a big deal!
"His ability is so great, can't we appease him? If he is willing to serve us, won't we have one more warrior? "The Tasha princess is still doing her last try.
Hearing this, the other nobles all showed disapproving looks on their faces, no matter how great the ability of a heretic is, he is only a heretic, and a heretic cannot be trusted!
However, Prince McGee gave serious consideration to his daughter's suggestion.
"So be it!" After a moment of silence, Prince McGee made up his mind.
"Tomorrow, we will first appease him with high-ranking officials, and if they don't obey, we will add them with swords!"
