Chapter 278: Choice and Position

readx;

Fan brought back the information he had gathered that night, and he learned from individual "cats" that some of the "cat nests" had indeed been bought by Heck. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Those people were planted all over Mallot, serving Heck, providing information big and small. And Van also got an unconfirmed piece of news - in addition to Heck, the other two "lines" were Queen Rosemund.

"No wonder Heck chose to support Queen Rosemond after King Byron fell ill, it turns out that they still have such a special relationship!" Avi recalled Queen Rosemund's face, the woman was less than thirty years old, but she was Mallot's mistress, "This news is probably true, Prince Bradley will face great difficulties this time." ”

"So you better not help Mills, anyway, there is no more than you, no less than you," Big Nose Fan jumped out of bed and kicked his shoes off, "I declare once again that I will never join their plans, and it is a capital crime to cooperate with the army outside the city." The rulers of Mallott can tolerate mercenaries, but they will never tolerate mercenaries collaborating with the enemy. ”

Avi had already made up his mind on the way back this morning, he would protect Stitch, and he would also find a way to help Prince Bradley, this was his position and choice.

"I know, you also rest early, you must be tired after running so many places today, right?"

The big-nosed fan was indeed tired, he yawned and his eyes overflowed, but he still turned his head to Avi after he fell asleep, as if he could sleep peacefully when he saw Avi.

The next few days were quiet, and every two days the Imperial diplomatic residence received information from outside. Intelligence revealed that Bradley had been stationed outside of Mallot, and that he was with Roberto, some nobles near the capital, and some mercenaries, and no one knew when they planned to attack the city, or how they wanted to open the capital's gates. Mallote also did not have any plans to attack the military camp outside the city, and both Avi and Fan learned that there were not many troops in Mallot, and King Byron did not like to see too many soldiers, so Mallot's army was only used to maintain the city's defenses, and there was no particularly large military camp.

The Duchy of Draman, the Papal States, and the Theoguna Empire, which were adjacent to the Kingdom of Salins, did not react in any way, perhaps because the lords of the kingdoms on the border were the same, and the diplomats of that empire did not think that the neighbors of the Kingdom of Sahlins would make a move, and this time the dispute between the three princes and the queen would be resolved internally.

There is little information about Walter, the third prince, and the army assembled by the second prince Amsol is approaching Mallot, and the conflict between the eldest prince and the second prince may become a turning point in this event.

"Avi!" "Avi!" Immediately after lunch, Coral found Avi, who was left alone in the room to read, "Stitch plans to meet with Evan with those diplomatic envoys tonight, and the time and place have been confirmed, but Stitch didn't bring me and you, probably because Evan had an unpleasant relationship with you..."

Avi immediately put down the book, "Then how many people is he going to take with him?"

"I don't know, I don't think it's much, because it's not appropriate for envoys and hostages of other countries to contact important ministers of the kingdom in private during such a sensitive period, so Stitch will bring a very small number of guards, as well as diplomats. ”

"Then my name is Shangfan, how about the three of us find a way to secretly protect Stitch?"

"Well, that's what I hope Avi can promise me," Sango's expression softened, "they're going to find a way to get around the patrols, and we're going to have to find a way to do that, and if something happens, we're going to get Stitch out first and keep him safe... This is the most important thing that Sister Saresa has asked me to do. ”

Avi knew Sango's simplicity and kindness, at this time she only needed the help of herself and Fan, "Don't worry, Stitch has grown up and matured a lot, and this time there are diplomatic envoys from other countries, there are very few chances of accidents, we can follow from afar." ”

Coral nodded gratefully, her thoughts were actually similar to Avi's, but after all, this was the first time Stitch had done something "deviant", she was like a mother who was worried about her children, and wanted to take care of everything.

Van was immediately told by Avi about protecting Stitch, and although Fan thought that Stitch didn't call them, so they shouldn't be nosy, Van agreed to Sango's request, perhaps because Fan's dirty clothes were all washed by Sango's hands.

Avi and Fan had already dressed in the evening, and Coral had brought the enchanted longbow with them, but all three of them dared to prepare in their own rooms, after all, Stitch had not informed the three of them to escort them.

"What are you doing?" Avi, who thought it was Coral knocking on the door, opened the door and saw Philisty, who was holding a letter, while looking at the two with short guns and long swords.

"We..."

"What are you doing here?" Fan quickly pulled Felisty into the room and locked the door.

"This is a letter I just received from the door of the mansion, it seems that a mercenary from the Spark Mercenary Group sent it to you, I want you to come out to receive the letter, but that person delivered the letter and left in a hurry..."

Avi immediately opened the envelope, and what was written on the letter was exactly what he was most concerned aboutβ€”the Kaesong plan! The letter stated the time and place of the Kaesong plan, which was two o'clock in the middle of the night tonight, and the location was the northeast gate, which was the farthest from Prince Bradley's barracks. The letter also included a location for the concentration and a brief plan for the opening of the city.

"Tonight in the middle of the night... I didn't expect this to happen so quickly..."Avi handed the letter to Fan, who immediately crumpled it up and stuffed it under his quilt.

Felisty pointed her finger at Avi's nose, "I've read the contents of the letter, and judging by the way you look, you are going to open the city gate for the eldest prince, right?"

"You're peeking!"

Avi said, "No, we're going to do something else... This has nothing to do with you, you just stay here, it's safer here!"

Felisty grabbed a pinch of slender red hair and sniffed it in front of her nose, "This attitude... Forget it, let's go early and come back early, I don't see anything. With that, she walked out of the room, leaving Avi a little stunned.

Fan shook Avi's shoulder, "If there is no accident, you can go to the concentration location mentioned in the letter after secretly protecting Stitch, I will definitely not go with you to open the city gate, then you will be beheaded!"

Avi also plans to protect Stitch first, but things change. Until about ten o'clock in the evening, Coral did not come to Avi and Fan's room to find them, and Fan also noticed that Stitch and the Imperial diplomat had not left the mansion as he walked around the mansion. By the time Coral sneaked into Avi's room, it was almost twelve o'clock.

"Stitch seems to have changed the time of departure, he just left the mansion!"

Looking at Sango's sign language, Avi and Fan immediately glanced at each other, "Okay, then let's hurry up!"

The trio jumped out of the kitchen window, climbed over the walls of the mansion, and quickly caught up with Stitch and his party. The three of them kept a certain distance from the dozen or so people of Stitch, and Avi could see that Stitch had already studied the route of the guards at night, otherwise they would not have been so lucky to avoid the soldiers.

"It's almost a little bit now, and the mercenaries led by Mills may be in place," Fan walked last, he could see the patrols on the other streets, "We don't know how long Stitch will meet with Evan to discuss, so why don't you join the Kaesong plan." ”

Avi didn't reply, he really wanted to leave now, go to the place where he "agreed" with Mills, "I promised Coral to protect Stitch, and when I did my duty, I would go." ”

"What about the patrols on the road?" Stitch had to figure out how to avoid them. ”

"I... I'll be on the safe side. ”

Stitch and his party soon arrived at a large house, which was supposed to be the residence of the diplomats of the Republic of Marshall. Sango, Avi, and Fan hid in a dark corner, and they climbed up to the roof along the walls of the house, where they lay quietly and observed.

"Evan may have met Stitch here, his home isn't far from here," Bignose Fan pointed to the white orphanage in the distance, "but it's very far from the northeast gate, you can't make it in time now, leave it to Mills to open the gate!"

Avi still didn't reply, but he had become distraught after twenty minutes on the roof. If you don't rush over now, maybe you won't be able to participate in the opening plan, and if you can't open the city gate for Prince Bradley because you don't have yourself, then wouldn't you... All sorts of meaningless thoughts poured into Avi's mind, and both the immobile Coral and Fan sensed Avi's restlessness.

"Leave it to me here, you can go. The big-nosed fan suddenly leaned into Avi's ear and whispered.

Avi was stunned, and he and Fan looked at each other for five seconds before stepping back. Before Coral could understand the situation, Avi had already jumped out of the house and began to run in the direction of the northeast gate.

I'm sorry, I really want to help Mills, I want to help Prince Bradley, that's what I want to do in my heart! Please forgive me! Avi blamed himself in his heart, but he didn't delay for a second. With his increasingly keen sense of hearing and sight, Avi easily dodged the not-so-dense patrols, and he was already familiar with Mallot, who moved quickly under the cover of the night, and soon approached the place of concentration.

Just as Avi was about to reach the concentration of the Spark Mercenary Group, a man's voice came from the corner of the street.

"Mills, the deputy head of the Spark Mercenary Regiment, our plan has long been known to us, and it is a pity that such a brave and unscrupulous move is really regrettable," Avi hurriedly approached, and he saw that the Minister of Intelligence, Heck, was surrounding Mills and some mercenaries with a large group of guards, "Don't worry, my guards will give you a good time." ”
