Chapter 61: Wait, Poisonous!
Unwilling to fail, Hulse bribed a jailer and secretly delivered a knife to Gabriel, intending to have Gabriel assassinate Master David, who had interrogated him, but fortunately Master David was alert enough to suffer only minor injuries, and Gabriel was beheaded by the guards who arrived later...... What, what's wrong with this? Miss Rabbit wondered.
"Logically, there's nothing wrong with it." Li Yu said, "But Gabriel doesn't look like a person who can be an assassin, he never showed up when he controlled the black dragon to attack the various families before.
"If it weren't for the fact that the black dragon was in danger, there is a high probability that he would not have participated in the battle with us, which shows that he still cherishes his little life."
"But since he has been caught by us, there is definitely no way to survive for the crimes he has committed, so it is also reasonable to pull a cushion on the premise that he knows that he will die, and remove the biggest competitor for his companions." The girl said.
Li Yu shook his head, "The problem is that Gabriel and Huls are not companions in the ordinary sense, don't be deceived by his previous words, Gabriel is definitely not working for Hulse for any aristocratic status or money, land or anything like that."
"If the Wings really plan to attack the Brattis continent in an all-out way, then Gabriel's true identity is likely to be a vanguard or spy sent by the Wings, and his cooperation with Huls is at best to take what they need, and Gabriel will not risk his life to achieve Hul's goals, even if his time is running out."
"It seems that you say so," Miss Rabbit finally figured out that something was wrong, and then came up with a new explanation.
"Could it be that Huls and Gabriel have made some new deal, and Gabriel will exchange his death for Huls what he will accomplish for him?"
"I can't rule out this possibility, but people like Hulse and Gabriel should find it difficult to fully trust others, and how can Gabriel guarantee that Hulse will complete what he promised him after his death."
"That's weird." The girl touched the back of her head, "Why is Gabriel willing to help Huls assassinate Master David?" ”
Li Yu didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and then asked Ilea, "Have you encountered anything else in the past few days?" ”
"Something else? Uh, no, nothing special. Although Miss Rabbit said this, her expression was obviously a little flustered, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Li Yu.
"yes, so what did you do today?"
"Well, the master of Love and Mead wanted to adapt our dragon slaying story into a play and perform it on the mainland, so I went to see their performance today, and then gave him the manuscript that I had been writing all night, but the guy's attitude was a bit infuriating.
"In the afternoon, I went to the market to find a tailor to make some clothes, by the way, can you give me the size...... I also ordered a set for you, and it's too simple for you to wear a set of clothes every day, and you have to change it once in a while, and we all have money now. ”
"I'm changing."
"Huh?"
"It's not one set of clothes, I bought several sets, but all of them are one style and color."
“…………”
Li Yu said as he reached for the wine on the table, wanting to pour a glass to moisten his throat.
But before his hand touched the flask, he was urgently stopped by the girl.
"Wait!" Miss Rabbit picked up another jug of wine beside her, "To be on the safe side, you might as well drink this." ”
"Is there any difference between these two jugs?" Li Yu frowned.
"I don't know, I just suddenly thought that Huls is also a member of the Figuerola family, so there may still be people in the Marquis's Palace, and it never hurts to be cautious at such times.
"This jug of wine was brought to me by a maid early in the morning, and I said no, but she still put it on my table, which made me feel strange, so I wondered if it was poisonous......
While the girl was still talking, she saw that Li Yu had reached out and picked up the wine jug, revealing a small piece of paper pressed underneath.
"Oh, how do you know?"
"There are trays under the flasks, and you don't usually leave the trays behind when you deliver wine." Li Yu took the small piece of paper to Ilea, "What is written on this?" ”
The girl's face suddenly became strange when she saw it.
"It says...... Watch out for David. ”
"What else?"
"No, just those four words." Miss Rabbit flipped the note over and over again and read it twice, "Be careful of Davy, why be careful of Davy?" Huls: Is this trying to divide us? ”
"Can you remember what that maid looked like?"
"Well, I'll recognize her if I see her again. I can tell Lord David about this, and ask him to gather all the maids in the Marquis's palace. ”
"Not yet." Li Yu said, "If the other party really wants to hint at us something, it won't be so clueless, you can recall what happened today and see what was missing, especially some more details." ”
"Okay." Miss Rabbit took a deep breath, "I kept writing our dragon-slaying story in my room until that strange maid forcibly put a jug of wine on my table, and then I continued to write, had lunch, and went out to the theater with Master David.
"After watching the performance, we went to meet the head of the class named Timothy, but he couldn't grasp the point in his speech, only looked at the story I had written with great difficulty, and then pulled me to talk about the play that had just been performed, told me the outline of the play, and said what was specially chosen for me."
"What did that play out?"
"A love story." The girl told the content of "The Knight's Revenge" roughly.
Li Yu listened quietly and said, "He is likely to be from Huls." ”
"What?!" Miss Rabbit was startled, and then jumped straight out of her chair, "Then we need to tell Master David to arrest someone, maybe Timothy will find out where Huls is hiding." ”
"Don't worry." Li Yu said, "Huls won't be caught by you so easily, and Timothy is also hinting that Huls may not be the mastermind of your father's murder." ”
"Impossible!" The girl said categorically, "Even if Gabriel's words are not completely credible, my great-grandmother will not lie to me, my father had a fierce dispute with Hulse before he died, and Hulse has been procrastinating in the matter of slaying dragons, occupying the position of commander of the coalition forces and not doing his business." ”
"Hulse is suspicious, but we might as well listen to what he has to say before we do it, and if his words are really not credible, we can take advantage of this opportunity to fish him out."
"Fish out, how to fish?" Miss Rabbit's eyes widened.
"He's done his part, he should have left you the contact information, think about it again, what else did you miss."
"And?" Miss Rabbit's heart suddenly became weak, because the only thing she missed was her meeting with the Silvermoon Church.
Just when she was hesitant to confess, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, there is another thing, after the performance, I accidentally bumped into a little girl who sold baked pies, or she accidentally bumped into me, and I later paid her a gold coin." ”
