Chapter 21 Secretly crossing Chen Cang
Chapter 21 Secretly crossing Chen Cang
Three days had passed, and the day agreed with Tianyi was tomorrow, and the Count of Beauge had prepared all the priceless treasures from their temporary storage to his big house in the city.
The Count now had only thirteen of his most loyal retinue at his side, and they were unrivalled in their loyalty to the exiled Grand Master of the Templar Order, even at the cost of their lives.
With Muzio's death, his abilities naturally disappeared, as did his "right eye" attached to the back of one of the Count's retinues. Of course, the parties involved did not know about this matter, and Tianyi did not plan to take the initiative to mention it.
That night, the Count came to Tianyi's bookstore again, and when he pushed the door in, Tianyi was sitting behind his desk as usual, fiddling with something in his hand.
The Earl walked in and saw that it was just a black piece of paper with strange symbols and graphics drawn on it, and I was afraid that this was a magic circle that only wizards knew.
"Master. The Count called out to him.
Tianyi was folding the black paper, he started to fold from the shorter side, one crease in the front and one in reverse, each with the same distance apart. He didn't look up, but replied, "If you want to ask what this thing is, I can tell you that it's a ladder that stretches infinitely." ”
The Count understood after a moment's thought, and asked, "Is this going to be used in the tunnel you built?"
Tianyi replied, "Yes, unless you want your entourage to slide or roll down with the treasure in their arms." ”
The earl said, "Master, so the tunnel is not finished yet?"
"No, it's done, the spawning ladder is the last step, this can be done on the spot, I'm too lazy to run one more time beforehand. Tianyi said, having finished folding the paper: "When you came here, all the treasures in the treasure have been transported to your residence, and now you want to hear the specific plan for tomorrow, right?"
The earl had long believed that Tian Yi was good at mind reading, and he was not surprised when he was told about his intentions: "Yes, please make it clear to the master." ”
Tianyi said: "It's very simple, tomorrow morning, you go and hire a carriage......"
............
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, before dawn, the Count went out, and he was very careful along the way, turning back in three steps and turning around in five steps, just like the NPCs in some games that are specially used to complete tracking tasks.
And when I say "certain games", I'm obviously not referring to beep-OK, but to Assassin's Creed.
In short, the Count's sneaky, tiptoeing manner was very perverse, abnormal enough to arouse the spirits of everyone who watched him in the shadows.
At present, there are three organizations that have successfully tracked down the count's residence in Rome and followed them 24 hours a day. Originally, there were four organizations, but the remote monitoring of the Isaiah Monastery was dealt with by Tianyi a few days ago. In fact, unlike the organizations or individuals who responded to Philip IV's secret want, they were instructed by "a certain person" to try to create an accidental death for the Count that did not look like an assassination. As for the secret of the count's body, it has nothing to do with them.
Turning back to the people of the three organizations, after they found the whereabouts of the Count of Boge in Rome, in addition to the Count himself, they naturally followed the Count's entourage. There was nothing unusual about the Count's actions, he had been to taverns, bookshops, walked around the square, and visited the Colosseum with a man in a black robe, who seemed to be just a bookshop owner. The actions of the followers are also nothing worth noting.
But the day before yesterday, the watchers had witnessed the Earl's retinue carrying something into the city from a hidden cellar outside the city. This is the biggest breakthrough in half a month, and you definitely have to calm down, and no one will act rashly.
These people are very discreet, everything is packed in boxes, they can't see what is being transported, maybe it is valuable, maybe it is just a pile of garbage. Only fools will rush out and snatch it directly, losing the advantage of hiding in the shadows. If you rush out and kill a bunch of henchmen, and open the box to see a case full of wine or a gypsy prostitute, wouldn't you be laughed at by your peers?
Anyway, just keep following them and know where they're transporting the boxes. After the retinue left, the three organizations went in to explore the secret cellar, but unfortunately, it was empty. The Count hid the treasure separately from the gold and silver, so the people still did not know the situation.
Just as the decision-makers of those organizations were discussing whether to take down Count Boge in one fell swoop in the past few days, and unravel the truth of those boxes by the way, I didn't expect that this guy came out in the dark today, combined with the situation of the boxes before, everyone knows that there must be something going on here.
The three men followed the Count all the way, and when they saw the fellow come to the stable in the city, they hired a carriage and hurried back to their lodgings. Then he crept into his big house with the coachman, and the two men carried out a large box with a light hand, and stuffed it into the carriage. Then the count got into his carriage, and the coachman rode his horse and galloped out of Rome.
The watchers were excited, and whatever the Count's great secret was, it seemed that he was about to lure us there.
Generally speaking, there is more than one person in charge of surveillance, and just like modern police stalking, you always have to take precautions, in case you go to the toilet while you are watching alone, and in those five minutes a flying saucer lands, catches your target and puts a giant radar in his anus or something, and you don't see it, then the human is finished.
Experienced and qualified units sent people to keep an eye on them, at least in groups of two, and the same was true of the three organizations that tracked the Earl. During the day they sometimes sent five men around the vicinity, ready to divide their forces to follow the Count's retinue.
At this moment, seeing the Earl's behavior, everyone knows what this guy Boge is going to do, are you going to pack up and run away alone, right? So, the monitors are all divided into two ways, one goes to the organization to ask for instructions, of course, this is the form of walking, and the other person immediately follows, leaving marks along the way to the accomplices, if necessary, you can catch the first and then play.
In this way, the three people either returned or ran away with the carriage, and the earl's residence became unwatched. Everyone knows that the secret lies in the earl, and at this moment the earl and the big box that seems to be a "secret" have fled together, and who cares about the entourage that has been thrown down by the earl.
So...... About ten minutes after the carriage left, the real Count of Beauge, along with his twelve retinues, came out of the big house. As for the thirteenth attendant, when the Count had entered the house just now, he had already changed into the same garb as the Count, and took advantage of the darkness before dawn to run away with the coachman carrying a large box full of stones.
The coachman was also quite inexplicable, early in the morning, an employer came, and made a generous move, saying that he was going out of the city, and he made a big box, if he hadn't heard the sound of something rolling down in the box, the coachman really suspected that he was smuggling a corpse or something.
The Earl, who had lost his surveillance, and his twelve loyal subordinates, carried three wooden boxes of good size by manpower, and marched towards the Colosseum as agreed with Tianyi......
............
Sueside watched the game between the advisor and Vanessa, and his brain was a little out of turn, and the conversation was entirely based on assumptions and their measurements of each other's intelligence, like two people discussing the other n parallel universes after the multiple branches of the timeline, and deducing the rationality of certain actions in this universe with the reality that could have happened but did not happen.
The gunsmith licked his lips and looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, as if in a daze, as if to say, "I have no idea what they're talking about." ”
"If you can ask, it means that you have guessed the answer. The advisor listened to Vanessa's question, and said without thinking, "Your Grand Master does not need those medieval gold and silver treasures, let alone those unbearable gold relics made by ancient kings. He wants knowledge.
Looking back at the crusaders' crusades under the banner of religion, in the process of slaughter and plunder, they obtained many treasures belonging to other civilizations, one of which was the ancient Babylonian 'Code of the Sky', which happened to be among the Templar treasures left by Molay.
And your Grand Master needs this hidden knowledge to ......"
The advisor stopped at this point: "By the way, does this flag bearer's rank have the right to know this kind of secret? If I say it now, he won't be killed by your own people after he goes up?"
Sueside was terrified to hear this, and it was said that the feeling of fear in this ruin would fade, but he was still nervous at the moment.
When Vanessa heard the words "Sky Codex", she looked to the side and sighed deeply, thinking that the advisor was going to finish speaking openly, but she didn't expect him to really stop.
"That's right, don't talk about it, it's really better to know his level. Vanessa replied.
Sueside was completely shocked, and said to himself: What do you mean? Is this secret really going to die if you hear it......? It's a secret that even I don't know, but the people who go against the cross know, so can Venissa let these guys run away?
"So, is my answer satisfactory to you?" the advisor said.
"Well, I believe in you. Vanessa snorted, "Your boss and you are crazy. ”
The advisor didn't deny it, just smiled noncommittally.
Dark Water spoke at this time, and his voice changed back to his original voice, and his tone did not carry any emotion: "Since the two sides have reached an agreement, this should be the last time to stop and discuss for the sake of trust issues, mutual suspicion, and vigilance." Next, we need to move more quickly and work together to get to the core as quickly as possible. He walked over to a mudra symbol and said as he stretched out his hand, "Also, let me remind you that the current temperature is seventeen degrees Celsius." ”
