Chapter 54: Thorough
The lone wolf looked quietly at the sleeping palace, a magnificent and majestic palace that he had once known and longed to return to, but now he was a little disgusted by the high and thick stone walls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info has completely formed two worlds inside and out.
It's not without reason that the lone wolf is so distressed, since following Fei Ying to the royal capital, Fei Ying gave him only one task, that is, no matter what method is used, find out the party of the eldest prince, the task is not as simple as it sounds, he knows very well that the party that Fei Ying said is not a flattering guy who follows the eldest prince on the surface, but the core person who really helps the eldest prince to give advice. For a lone wolf who is already a "dead man", the difficulty of sneaking into the palace to investigate the eldest prince can be imagined, due to the assassination of the queen in the palace in the early years, and then the palace is very cautious about the selection of personnel who enter and leave the work, so it is very difficult for a lone wolf of unknown origin and even a guy who can't even see his appearance clearly, and wants to enter the palace as a guard. What's more, it takes a long time to find out who the eldest prince is when he falls to the ground, and who has come to play. With the current lone wolf, it simply can't be done. In fact, Fei Ying also knew that this matter was very difficult for the lone wolf, but he really had no other candidates, so he could only leave it to the lone wolf.
Now that Ling Chen is back, both of them know that this matter cannot be delayed any longer, so after discussion, the two can only choose the most inferior way.
Looking at the crowd coming in and out of the palace, the lone wolf's patience was good, and finally his target came into his sight, this time not the eldest prince, but an obscure Resnot official.
Although in the system of the eldest prince, the lone wolf is not the core figure, but as a city lord, he still has some weight, and every time the power of the eldest prince gives him a task, he will send a special person to pass on his life, and this messenger is the goal of the lone wolf. In fact, the lone wolf didn't know much about this man, and he couldn't even remember his name, the only thing he knew was that he seemed to be a clerk in charge of the treasury, and he had been in contact with him before to come to Gothhe City on the pretext of transferring goods.
The streets around the palace were crowded with people, the lone wolf hid in the crowd, slowly followed the official in front of him, and without walking a few streets, this guy walked into a house, the lone wolf looked around, this can be regarded as a rich area of Resnot, many officials of Resnot like to live here, it seems that this clerk also bought a house here. This is bad news for the lone wolf, because the road to the palace here is the most prosperous street in Resnot, and it is much more difficult to ask a question from a person's mouth than to kill him directly, and secondly, in a place where there are so many people, the lone wolf is not sure that no one will notice, if his identity is discovered, he does not think that Ling Chen will come to save him. So do you have to do it in the clerk's house? This is a viable option, but it will take time, at least to identify the clerk's family and, if necessary, to know how his home has been arranged. After noting down the location of the clerk's house, Lone Wolf did not leave immediately, but found a chair with a view of the door of the house and sat down, and began to squat again.
He was not a large family, at the beginning, he was lucky enough to be an official in the court because of his slight talent, but he was only the lowest-level civil servant, and his daily work was only a simple record of the goods that flowed into the foreign household department under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, Wuyu Kloss, and only recorded the transfer of food. Originally, such an official position usually rose further, and at most it could only be changed from a record to a collation.
However, because of such an obscure official position and the low-key style of acting in a low-key manner, the foreign minister Wuyu was valued, and after a negotiation, the original simple life of the pod came to an end, and he became one of the ways for the eldest prince to communicate with foreign officials. It was undoubtedly fortunate for him that although he was still a person in charge of keeping records at this stage, he had already come to the treasury from the ministry of foreign ministers, and he knew that one day, if the eldest prince really became the real king, then his good life would be more than that. He didn't get married and start a family, because his boss who worked extra required him to keep it absolutely confidential, and he had to be on call many times, so for now, he didn't have the conditions to start a family. However, this did not affect the fact that he had the woman he liked, and he knew that it would not be long before the election of the prince would come to an end, so he was not in a hurry.
It's just that before the good days come, his bad luck seems to be a step earlier. After finishing his job as usual, he returned to his home, because the recent election turmoil seemed to have made the eldest prince a little anxious, but he had a lot less extra work. As usual, he habitually turned the kettle on the stove, ready to make a pot of hot black tea for himself, and walked through his living room, but his brows were furrowed, and the afterglow seemed to sweep to a figure, could it be that there was a thief in the house? Rubbing his eyes, he saw a person sitting quietly on the new chair he had just bought, this person was sturdy and wearing a leather coat, but the same as above was wearing a mask, covering his entire face, obviously not a good master.
"Who are you, and why are you in my house?"
The man did not answer him, and he became even more flustered: "I warn you, I am a clerk of the palace, please leave immediately, or I will call someone." ”
The man didn't speak, still looking at him quietly, and walked towards the door. At this moment, the man moved, threw out a flying knife with his hand, and nailed it to Pod Yu's feet impartially.
"Stop. ”
Although the voice was a little low, but Pod Yu still felt a little familiar, he mentioned that the eldest prince had passed on the order to see a lot of dignitaries and nobles, and because he was just a small person, so every time he saw these big people who he might not be able to struggle for a lifetime, he would try his best to leave some impressions, looking at the man in front of him, a figure instantly appeared in Pod Yu's mind: "Lord Olan!!"
The lone wolf couldn't help but feel sorry for him, since he recognized himself, then naturally he couldn't leave his life.
"Lord Olan, weren't you burned to death by fire?"
"Hmph," the lone wolf snorted coldly and walked in front of him.
"Lord Olan, it's great that you don't die......"
Before he could finish speaking, the lone wolf had already raised his hand and struck him hard, and then Pod Yu fell to the ground, unconscious.
When Pod Yu opened his eyes again, he found that his limbs had been sturdy, and the familiar voice came to mind.
"He woke up. ”
"Uh-huh!" This time the voice was unfamiliar, Pod Yu turned his head to look at the pronunciation, two men walked over, among these two people, there was actually another person he knew, it was Lin Hou White, who had just entered the palace and became the chief secretary not long ago, and the other person Pod Yu didn't know who it was, but he always felt that he was dressed differently from other people, and it was obvious that he was a gambler who often went in and out of the casino, but how could the gambler be with these two adults?
Pod Yu clearly didn't realize that he was in danger, and was still thinking about these inconsequential questions.
"Lady Vidium, huh?" asked Fei Sakura, squatting in front of Pod Yu, smiling.
This title is really familiar to Bao Chenyu, but it has always come out of his mouth, and basically he has never been called that by others.
"Who are you?Lord Lone Wolf, save me!!" But the discomfort in his body reminded him that he had lost his most basic freedom as a human being.
"Don't worry! Fei Ying patted him lightly on the shoulder: "We just want to ask you some questions, as long as you tell me honestly, I can guarantee that you will not be in any danger." ”
"What's wrong with you? I'll tell you all, don't hurt me. What makes Pod Yu a little relieved is that this gambler seems to be reasonable, at least able to communicate, with his many years of life experience as an official, Pod Yu believes that as long as he tells them the information they want, he should not embarrass himself.
"We know that you are serving the Great Prince and doing something special. Fei Ying said, "So I would like to know who you came into contact with when you served the eldest prince. ”
"Why are you asking this?"
"You just have to answer the questions obediently!" the lone wolf pointed a dagger at his throat.
"Don't scare him. Fei Ying glared at the lone wolf: "It doesn't mean anything else, we are the same as you, we are all working for those in power, and this time our job is to ask for this information from your mouth, I believe you also know that those in power are not easy to serve, so we are also considerate and considerate of each other, so don't let us waste too much time." ”
"Who do you serve? I heard that the eldest prince had a quarrel with the city lord not long ago, are you from the city lord of Luoli?"
Several people's eyes looked at each other, this was a good opportunity to frame the city lord, but the lone wolf and Lin Hou shook their heads, after all, he had already recognized the lone wolf, and the character of the city lord, plus the fact that the lone wolf had failed to assassinate Ling Chen, was "killed", it was easy to think of Ling Chen. The eye contact instantly unified the opinion, and Fei Ying patted him lightly on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter who we are for you now, you just need to tell us what we want to know." ”
Any creature will have an inexplicable premonition when danger comes, especially when it is a matter of life and death, and this feeling is unusually strong at this time: "How can I trust you, I tell you what I know, and you will not hurt me?"
"Tsk" Fei Ying smacked her lips lightly: "Then I can tell you in charge that my master doesn't want the eldest prince to notice that someone is working against him yet." So in order not to make the eldest prince suspicious, we will not kill you. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I will report to His Highness?" Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "I know, you are the second prince's people! Aren't you! I know that any prince would not want to be a king, and the second prince just pretended to have no interest in the throne!"
Fei Ying shook her head helplessly, this person really deserves to die.
