Chapter 81: The Aftermath of the Assassination

The assassination, which took place on a mountain path not far from the city of Leighton, did not affect Thrace's war of aggression against Leighton. If anything, King Richard of Thrace executed a group of guards, and since then he has been more cautious about traveling. In the subsequent wars, he never led his troops into battle in person.

This actually changed history greatly, according to history, later known as the Thrace I Emperor "Lion of Thrace" Richard Thrace was an emperor who was keen to drive the expedition, in his life, Thrace experienced several major battles, all by him personally drove the expedition, personally served as the supreme commander, and even once had three times on the battlefield, can be described as a first-class bravery.

But now, all these stories of bravery are gone.

Perhaps the bards of later generations, when talking about the Thracian emperor, would say: "This man has ambition and ability, but he lacks some courage." "That's it.

However, that is all for later generations.

At hand, there is another problem.

"Panda ...... What are you thinking?" In the castle dining room, Sleepless looked at the panda who was eating and drinking after returning from resurrection, and asked in wonder, "You can't know that Emperor Richard has an Ice Sword Saint guard by his side, why do you still want to look for death?"

This question puzzled him - from the beginning of the establishment of the Thracian Kingdom, the Ice Swordmaster has been guarding the side of the kings of the past generations, until the future Trera King Legendary War, he was injured and had to stay in Thrace City to recuperate, ending his nearly 200-year career as a guard.

At this point in time, he must have been guarding Richard Thrace every step of the way. With his guards, not to mention the panda alone, even if the traversers go together, it is impossible to kill Richard - the Ice Sword Master is not a fool, although he is outnumbered, but people can escape with Richard.

Panda must know this, so why would he do such a meaningless thing?

The panda put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled.

"A lot of times, we do something not necessarily for the sake of success, but more for the sake of showing attitude. "I don't know if you can understand it, but in my opinion, the 'attitude' is actually more important than the 'result'." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You know, I'm a martial arts practitioner. The panda said, "For people like me, how do you think we should live?"

"Practice hard every day, and then want to compete and win the championship?"

Panda smiled and shook his head: "That's a matter of professional fighters, I belong to a quasi-profession, and I may be close to the level of others in terms of training intensity, but the content of actual combat training is far behind." If I had gone on stage to compete with those pros, I guess I would have been able to play decently in the first round, but from the second round onwards, I was beaten up one-sidedly. ”

Sleepless was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know much about the circle of martial arts.

After a few seconds, he asked, "So...... Is it the pursuit of longevity?"

"Longevity?" Panda smiled dumbly, "Practicing martial arts is almost the opposite of prolonging life, and the proportion of birthday stars among martial arts masters who can fight is relatively low among people with the same standard of living, which is actually the same as many sports." ”

So Sleepless shook his head, he really didn't understand why.

"Actually, there is only one thing we are pursuing, and that is to become stronger. Panda said, "It's good to be better than others, but even if you can't be better than others, better than your past self, it's fine." ”

"That's our attitude. With this attitude as a support, we can withstand those hard trainings and get stronger little by little. Panda said, "Without this attitude, most martial arts practitioners will not be able to survive." ”

"But what does this have to do with your assassination of Richard?" asked Sleepless.

"It was through this incident that I showed Richard an attitude - in this world, there are many people who want to assassinate him and have the ability to threaten him, and there are many who are willing to carry it out. ”

"What's the point of that?" asked Sleepless, "you can't kill him." ”

"No, that's enough to make him feel threatened. Panda said, "It's better to threaten him than not to threaten at all." ”

He paused, then added, "And...... If I didn't do something, I always felt like I didn't have the face to see James. ”

Speaking of James, Sleepless was also silent.

After a few seconds, he sighed, nodded, and said, "You're right, since we have the opportunity to assassinate Richard, then we should do something." We have an unshirkable responsibility for this catastrophe of the Edward family, and if we don't do something, even I can't feel at ease. ”

"Actually...... If we hadn't been blinded by millions of dollars, we would have thought of possible dangers. "Looking back now, I wonder why I was so focused on how to protect this money, but I didn't even think about risking it." ”

"Me too, everybody's the same. Sleepless also sighed, "We are all fascinated by this huge amount of money!"

He thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, not only us, but also Jaime himself, and even Richard, are they not fascinated by this money? Jaime could have had a better choice, such as offering to donate money to the king, or taking out a sum of money to marry some nobleman, although I dare not say that it will definitely solve the problem, but at least it can delay time." The king could have had a better choice, such as making some promises to Jaime or arranging a marriage for him altogether...... Anyway, the Edward family is a side branch of the royal family, which does not affect the marriage. ”

"Everybody's dizzy!"

"yes...... Everyone is dizzy......" Sleepless said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, we still kept the bottom line of being human after all, and we didn't have the idea of beating James's own share of the money." When Binglin and I handed him the money, he was stunned, then relieved, and then looked at the pile of gold coins and cried. ”

Panda was silent, and although he couldn't understand Jaime's feelings, he could feel how sad the scene was.

"You're doing the right thing!" Sleepless sighed again, and then said earnestly, "Richard's kind of person, we should have nothing to trouble him! Anyway, Thrace is hostile to us, and his cruel style dooms us to be impossible to reconcile." In that case, there is nothing wrong with assassinating him every once in a while!"

Panda smiled: "I think so too, anyway, to collect intelligence or something, two people are actually enough." The personalities of me and the old driver (Harley) are really not suitable for this, so it is better to seize the opportunity to scare Richard, so I can take a breath of evil!"

That afternoon, Anthony approached James, who went by the alias Harry, and told him about it.

"Our men launched an assassination campaign against Richard. He said, "But this guy has the protection of the Ice Sword Master by his side, and he can't succeed." ”

Harry's body shook violently, and then said, "If there's another action, be sure to call me along!"

"If you're sure, we won't let you miss your chance to get revenge. "But until then, you'd better be an instructor." ”

"I will do my duty and do my best!"
