Chapter 649: Assassination

readx;

The Cathedral of Solan City is magnificent and magnificent, and the decoration inside is not inferior to the royal palace of the Lord's Palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Walking through the long aisle, Shangguan Xiu came to the cross at the end of the church, pretending to cross his fingers, closing his eyes, and making a gesture of prayer.

An acolyte dressed in white stepped forward, bowed, and said, "General Kuntu!"

"I have come to visit the Bishop on the orders of the Duke!" Shangguan Xiu prayed for a while, raised his eyes, lowered his hands, and said to the acolyte.

Hearing that it was to meet the bishop, the acolyte's face was straight, and he bowed down and said, "General Kuntu, please!"

The acolyte led the way, led Shangguanxiu to the side door, followed the stairs, and walked all the way to the top floor of the church.

Near the staircase, there were several Holy See soldiers standing guard, and when they saw Shangguan Xiu approaching, two Holy See soldiers stepped forward and looked at the acolyte and Shangguan Xiu with inquiring eyes. The former spoke: "General Quintu has come to pay a visit to the Bishop on the orders of the Duke!"

One of the papal soldiers nodded, didn't say much, turned and walked inside. He pushed open two large heavy wooden doors and stepped inside. After a short time, he walked out of the door and said to Shangguan Xiu with an expressionless face: "I'm sorry, General Kuntu, Lord Bishop is in the office, and now he doesn't see any guests. ”

Shangguan Xiu seemed to have expected this situation, he smiled unexpectedly, took out a small leather bag from his cuirasel, handed it to the Holy See, and said, "This is a gift from the Duke that I asked me to pass on to the Bishop. "Hey, hey, brother

The papal soldier took the skin, pulled the sealing rope open, and poured it outward, and a large and plump ruby came out of it, and even those who were not proficient in jewelry would realize that it was worth a lot when they saw such a beautiful large ruby.

He was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Lord Duke, what ......is this?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Your Excellency Duke said that there was some misunderstanding with the Bishop at the cocktail party today, so he sent me a gift, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding!"

"I see. The papal soldier's face softened a little, put the ruby back into the leather bag, hesitated for a moment, nodded his head, and said, "General Quintou, please wait a moment, I will go and present the gift of the Duke to the Bishop!" After speaking, he took the leather bag and walked into the wooden door again.

This time the waiting time was a little longer, and when he came out, he nodded to Shangguan Xiu and said, "General Kuntu, Lord Bishop, please." ”

"Thank you!" Shangguan Xiu was just about to step inside, when another Holy See soldier stretched out his hand and blocked his way, his eyes lowered, and landed on the sword under Shangguan Xiu's side. Shangguan Xiu understood what he meant, unsheathed his sword, and handed it to the Holy See army.

Then, no one around the Holy See army stopped him, and Shangguan Xiu walked into the carved wooden door. What catches your eye is a huge office hall with a large space surrounded by bookshelves filled with books of all sizes.

At the middle end of the hall, there was a large desk, and sitting behind the desk was Bishop St. Anson, who was playing with the leather bag sent by Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu walked inside, scanning left and right without leaving a trace, and in the corners of the walls on both sides of the hall, there was also a Holy See soldier standing on each side, both of them were covered with black robes, and their whole bodies shrunk into black robes, revealing only a small half of their faces outside.

Through the spiritual pressure emanating from the two of them, Shangguan Xiu could tell that the cultivation of these two people was extremely high.

Walking to the front of the desk, Shangguan Xiu stood still, bowed and saluted, and said, "Lord Bishop!"

"General Quuntu, is this a gift from Duke Huade?" Saint Ansen raised his head and glanced at Shangguan Xiu. Duke Walter has always been stingy, and has never given him such a valuable gift, but today the sun is rising in the west.

"Exactly!" Shangguan Xiu said respectfully.

"Duke Ward is so polite. St. Ansen closed the skin in his hand, put it down, pushed it forward, and said: "I really can't accept such a valuable gift, General Quintu should bring the gift back, and convey it to the Duke of Huade on my behalf, the duke's heart, I understand it." ”

Don't look at St. Anson's words beautifully, but Shangguan Xiu can see the greed in his eyes. He smiled slightly, leaned forward, and said, "This is just a gesture of apology from the Duke, so don't shirk it again!"

"Excuse me!" said St. Anson, smiling meaningfully.

"I hope that the Bishop will take it, so that I can go back and pay attention to the Duke. Shangguan Xiufu said with a smile.

St. Anson's face showed embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, Fang slowly took back the leather bag that had been pushed out, threw it into the drawer casually, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, I will not embarrass General Quinto." ”

"Thank you, Lord Bishop, for retiring!" As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu turned around to leave. St. Ansen raised his head and said, "General Quintou, please wait. ”

What Shangguan Xiu was waiting for was that he took the initiative to keep it. Hearing his words, Shangguan Xiu immediately stopped, turned around, and asked puzzledly, "What else does the Bishop have to order?"

"Shangguan Xiu's sudden visit to Solan City, can General Kuntu know about this matter in advance?" The greedy look in Saint Ansen's eyes disappeared, his eyes became crystalline, and he stared at Shangguan Xiu without blinking.

He shook his head and said, "I only knew that there would be an envoy from the Wind Country, but I didn't know that Shangguan Xiu would visit in person. ”

"What does General Quintu think about this?"

"This ......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that, I can assure General Quintu that every word General Quintu says here will not be leaked. ”

"Yes, Lord Bishop!" Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: "Shangguan Xiu's personal visit must be to win over the Solan city-state and the Duke!"

"So, do you think Duke Huade will be co-opted by Shangguan Xiu?"

"I don't know, and I don't dare to say anything!"

"You are the commander of the Paladin Legion, and you are also General Walde's confidant, all the major decisions of the Walter family should not deliberately avoid General Quint, right?" As he spoke, St. Ansen leaned back, and the old god said on the ground: "General Quintu is a smart man, and he should understand what kind of fate the Solan city-state will face once it defects to the Wind Country." Not only will the city-states join forces to fight against them, but the Holy See will also denounce the city-state of Solan, and then the city-state of Solan will become the target of everyone, so where will General Quintu and the Quintu family go?"

"I ......" Shangguan Xiu's face was ugly, he lowered his head weakly, and his eyes flickered.

Seeing this, St. Anson was even more sure that Duke Walter must be hiding something from himself and plotting with the Wind Country. He smiled slightly, and said slowly: "I just want to hear General Kuntu say now, what kind of conspiracy is there between Duke Huade and Shangguan Xiu, as long as General Kuntu treats each other sincerely, no matter where the Solan city-state goes in the future, I can ensure that General Kuntu and the Kuntu family are worry-free!"

"Uh......" Shangguan Xiu was embarrassed, and deliberately glanced at the two Holy See troops on both sides, and stopped talking. St. Ansen smiled and said, "If General Quintu has anything to say, just say it!"

Shangguan Xiu's face kept changing, and finally seemed to have made the greatest determination, he took a deep breath, leaned forward subconsciously, and said quickly. Because his voice was too low and too fast, St. Ansen did not hear clearly.

He involuntarily leaned forward and asked, "What did General Quintu just say?"

Shangguan Xiu bent down, leaned close to St. Ansen's ear, and said word by word in his ear: "Lord Bishop, I just said, we will see you in heaven!"

As he spoke, the palm of his hand pressed on the table suddenly lifted up, and he heard a pop, and at some point there was an extra dagger in his palm.

The dagger stabbed out from the bottom up, striking right into St. Anson's jaw.

The force of this knife was so great that the entire blade did not enter St. Anson's jaw, only the handle of the knife was exposed. St. Anson's body stiffened, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his mouth opened to see the blade of the dagger running through his mouth.

The blood flowed down the blade of the knife and fell on the table.

Shangguan Xiu retracted the knife downward, and at the same time, his other hand reached into his arms, took out a piece of paper, and quickly slapped it on the door of St. Ansen's dead face. On this piece of paper, there is a line of words written in Bessa: Serve the country with righteousness!

Written by Matthew himself.

The two Holy See soldiers standing on both sides finally reacted, the two of them were anxious and angry, shocked and frightened, they couldn't help but roar, tore off the black robe on their bodies, one pulled out the saber under his ribs, shook his hand to spiritualize it, and pounced on Shangguan Xiu, while the other person pulled out a short musket from his waist, shook his hand to spiritualize the musket, and quickly loaded a spirit bullet, waved his hand to shoot Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu didn't fight with the two of him at all, after killing St. Anson, his body shook, as if he was off the string of arrows, and at the same time, his body was covered with spirit armor, and with a crisp sound, the colored window on the side was smashed by him, and others also flew out of the window.

The moment he slammed open the window, a spirit bullet flew over his shoulder. The spirit bullet hit the spirit armor, sending the fragments of the spirit armor flying, if this spirit bullet was a little more off, it would have to pierce Shangguan Xiu's shoulder.

The top floor of the church is the fourth floor, which is more than ten meters above the ground. After he threw himself out of the window, his body fell rapidly, and the two Holy See soldiers followed closely and jumped out of the window, and the Holy See soldiers holding spirit swords were in the air, slashing at Shangguan Xiu in the air, and three spiritual waves attached to the flames shot towards Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu thrust the dagger in his hand into the wall hard, clicking, and his body was like a gecko, clinging to the wall. Three waves of flame roared past him.

The sword-wielding Holy See soldier reached out his arm, and his five fingers were like steel claws, deeply embedded in the wall, and with the rustling sound, his fingers scratched five scratches on the wall, and the person also stuck to the wall.

Another gun-wielding Holy See soldier still fell rapidly, and the man turned around in the air, aimed at Shangguan Xiu, who was attached to the wall, and fired another shot.

Shangguan Xiu's figure flew sideways, but the spirit bullet actually drew an arc in the air, and it was incredibly chasing Shangguan Xiu. Shangguan Xiu was also secretly surprised, but he reacted extremely quickly and swung the dagger out of his back with all his might.

Hearing a loud sound, a ball of sparks suddenly appeared in the air, and by the impact of this spirit bullet, Shangguan Xiu's figure flew out five or six meters away again, falling to the ground diagonally below.
