Although the authoritarian and dictatorial demon Luo Yi disdained the QQ window sent by the egg pain star and only cared about herself falling asleep, she was not able to get a good night's sleep that night.

In the middle of the night, someone banged violently on the door of the castle, bringing a message.

As soon as the news came, Luo Yi, who was still yawning, was scared-

Bishop Turnest is attacked!

Here's how it happened:

While the Baroness was busy with her daughter, the young bishop of Tournest left the city to attend the inauguration of a new chapel in a village.

The village, called Mang, was located on the border between the diocese of Tournest and the diocese of Sogeny, and was the territory of the Baroness of Wallat, the mother of the Count of Gombard, who had previously leased most of her land to the Church of Tournest and was one of the first nobles to lease land to the Church.

After the harvest, she made a vow to build a chapel for the Church on her land, and when the chapel was nearing completion, she invited the bishop to bless it.

This matter has long been on the list, but it has been delayed because of the arrival of the papal envoy.

After seeing off the papal envoy and the members of the royal court, the baroness sent for the bishop to come to the postponed blessing ceremony, saying with great enthusiasm and earnestness that she would bring her son with her, and the bishop promised to leave as soon as he had dealt with some urgent matters that had to be dealt with immediately.

On his way to Mang Village, he was attacked by a group of masked armed thugs.

The thugs lay in ambush on both sides of the road, and when they saw the bishop's procession approaching, they shouted and rushed out from both sides of the road.

The bishop's ranks, which were made up of priests and church servants, and who had long been accustomed to peaceful life, were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and many of them were thrown to the ground in fright, and only the knight and his two retinues, accustomed to fighting and sudden attacks in taverns, reacted in time to protect the bishop.

However, these thugs are outnumbered, well-equipped, and well-coordinated, and are not a rabble.

Had it not been for a shepherdess, who had seen the strangers in ambush by the roadside from afar, and ran back to tell her husband, who knew that the Catholics were coming to the village, the bishop would have suffered greatly.

The peasants, who had benefited from the church, rushed to help, carrying sticks and pitchforks, and women and children, and striking the thugs with stones.

The besieged bishop did not expect to be surrounded by the peasants and fled in a hurry.

This is how it happened.

After the mob fled, the villagers flocked to the bishop to take refuge in the newly built chapel and sent a message to the nearby monasteries and nobles that they would send troops to protect the bishop's return to the city.

"The knight told us not to chase those people, and to protect the bishop." Said the messenger.

They all escaped, Luo Yi thought indignantly.

Now, in the future, the bishop will be equipped with bodyguards - a dignified bishop will be attacked by thugs on the road, this kind of thing Luo Yi really didn't think about before, is this a country with "faith"?

Have faith to rob a bishop on the road?

Really...... If you have faith, you can't think of such a thing if you don't have faith.

Thinking about it, she was a little scared, before, the little bishop had run around the diocese with only one or two retinues.

If there had been an attack at that time, I am afraid ......

"These people are not simple." At the post-mortem analysis session, Francis said, "They're not just random people. ”

"Oh?"

"Listen to you...... Isn't it a wandering robber knight? Luo Yi asked.

"If the wandering robber knights had come up with such a trick as a roadside ambush, and could endure being bitten by insects in the grass, and had not been drunk, and remembered to be masked—they would have been able to get on an errand with the king's majesty!" John of Jesco said, "No, that sounds ...... It's a group of training to have

Vegetarian mercenaries. ”

"An Assassin? Not a robber? ”

"Robbers should go and loot villages and chapels, and they should not lie in ambush in the grass and wait for a bishop who may not pass by once a year." Jason said.

"Do they know that Bishop Lu Dao is coming?"

"Alas, it is no secret that the news of the construction of the chapel and the bishop's coming to bless the chapel should have spread throughout the diocese six weeks earlier."

"It might also be for the money." Luo Yi said, "Even I know that when doing the blessed sacrament, many holy vessels and Dharma robes are used, and those people may have heard the news and decided to get a vote." If not, this kind of thing has not happened to the bishop in the past when he went to the diocese. Later, he went out with gold and silver utensils and valuable clothes

When you are in the city, you must bring at least fifty men, fully armed, and I will send them. ”

"It's not." Francis affirmed, "Not for the money." ”

"Why are you so sure?"

Francis gestured twice, and the unarmed people present were still in a fog, but John of Jesco understood at a glance, and he gave the reason for his judgment in Francis's place, "They used a murderous trick." ”

Francis nodded.

The two men, who were experienced in robbing the infidels on the road, immediately explained to the bishop and the baroness: "In the case of robbery, it is enough to knock people down, and to beat the pawns and demand money for peace, but the rich men are cowardly, and when they see it, they are frightened, and they will give up their wealth to save their lives, and they will rush directly when they come up."

Bishops, there was no intimidation, there was no extortion of money, they ...... The goal is the Bishop. ”

"Well, then, it's an assassin with a purpose." Luo Yi sighed, her head tingling faintly from the fatigue and lack of sleep the day before, but what gave her more headache was this conclusion.

Assassins with a purpose, not just passing by bandits—that's troublesome.

If it's just a wandering bandit knight passing by, the next time the bishop dresses modestly, or if it is necessary to dress gorgeously, bring armed bodyguards to avoid being robbed.

And if it's an assassin with a purpose......

Then the other party will definitely not give up the assassination operation because of this accidental failure.

Unless you can catch the culprit.

But who will be behind it?

Luo Yi bit his lip, the one who could dispatch thirty well-trained dead soldiers to attack the bishop was definitely not an ordinary person, this was even beyond the ability of ordinary nobles.

If there is no solid evidence to make an accusation, I am afraid that it will ...... You can't just give each other bread every time......
