Chapter 294: True Torment
Winnie is extremely simple, but this does not mean that she is a fool, on the contrary, she is also very smart! It's just that whether it is in the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Duke's Palace, she has always been the object of everyone's protection, which also gives everyone the impression of being a weakling.
In Catherine's persuasion, Winnie quickly notices that something is unusual, and she immediately realizes that the key to solving the problem as soon as possible lies in herself.
Catherine was also taken aback when she discovered Vinnie's idea, and she tried her best to dispel her, but the usually gentle Winnie was extremely stubborn this time. Catherine had no choice but to bring Winnie to Anna's side, hoping that Anna would have a way to change Winnie's mind.
"Sister Winnie, how was your training today?" Anna understood everything in Catherine's eyes, but she still pretended not to know.
"Sister Anna, do you and Sister Catherine treat me as sisters? When the Duke's Palace encounters such a thing, not only do you not tell me anything, but you also restrict me from coming here! I know you are doing this for my own good, but after all, I am also a member of the Duke's Palace, and Weishenme can't let me do my part at this time?"
"This thing is too dangerous! The other party's target is directly aimed at you, and Catherine and I can't help but think about your safety!"
"I understand my sisters' hard work, but I don't want this kind of security! Everyone is contributing to the Duke's Palace, even if my ability is limited, I will not stay out of the situation at this time!"
"I've made a decision, I'll move here tomorrow, and I'll return to the Prime Minister's Mansion after the hidden dangers of the Duke's Palace are eliminated. ”
"Sister Winnie!"
"Sisters, if I were my own. Don't persuade me again!" Winnie ignored Anna and Catherine, and walked out of the Duke's palace with the maid beside her.
Anna and Catherine exchanged glances. They all showed a helpless wry smile.
"I'll arrange the guards and see if Prime Minister Alec can change the little princess's mind!" Catherine nodded to Parker and Anna. Turned around and chased out.
"Every one of Ed's women is a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will have 'fun' in the future!" Parker teased as he waited for Winnie to walk away, looking at Anna, who was slightly embarrassed beside him.
Next, Winnie really moved to the Duke's Palace, and in the process, Prime Minister Alec, who had been in the palace, actually took a tacit attitude. To Anna and Catherine's surprise, he seemed to approve of Winnie's approach.
The Ninth Prince, who was missing Belinda's reminder, was overjoyed to hear the news, and he was initially worried that Winnie would reduce the time and frequency of entering and leaving the Duke's Palace. Now it looks. His previous fears were completely unnecessary, and he began to devote himself to the designated assassination of Jihua.
At dusk on this day, the city of Firano, which had been gloomy for a day, suddenly began to drizzle. As the night grew thicker and the amount of rain in the sky increased, light rain quickly turned into moderate rain.
Fortunately, it was late at this time, and the rain did not have much impact on people's travel, except for bringing rare coolness to people in midsummer.
The people of Ciudad Filano are returning home after a busy day. Start enjoying the rare refreshment in this hot summer. Soon the streets of Ciudad Firano fell silent, and many of the streets were not even a single person in sight.
But at this moment, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly appeared near Li Zijun's Duke's Palace, and they all took great care to hide their whereabouts. Even on such a rainy night, they did not relax in the slightest to observe their surroundings.
If they hadn't done it with their hearts, they would have appeared in front of you. It's also hard to spot their presence.
These dozen or so people cooperated with an unusually tacit understanding, guarding, marching, and hiding. The division of labor is clear and uniform, looming in the rainy night. Moving at an extremely fast pace.
They stopped under a dimly lit façade of the Duke's Palace, and one of them quickly stepped forward and, after a few gentle taps on the façade, learned a few more cat meows.
There was an immediate response from inside the wall, and the person outside the wall also showed his face the moment he turned his head—Gal, the confidant of the Nine Princes.
Gal had a serious expression at this time, observed the surrounding situation, and after making sure that it was safe, he gestured to the people behind him.
They had practiced how to enter the Duke's Palace countless times, and when they saw Garr's gesture, they quickly set up a human ladder and climbed over the courtyard wall more than three meters high very carefully.
The receiver inside the wall was completely wrapped from head to toe, only exposing a pair of eyes, and when he saw Gal, he nodded, made a 'follow me' gesture, and turned around to sneak into the Duke's palace.
The other party's outfit was expected by Gal, and he didn't care, waving his hand to let his men follow.
It was getting darker and darker, and the Duke's Palace seemed to be getting very dark, and after walking for a while, Gal realized that there seemed to be few rooms in the Duke's Palace lit up.
Gal was about to grab the answerer and ask what was going on, but he suddenly realized that he didn't know when, the inside line was gone.
"Quack, quack, quack!" Garr repeatedly called out to his inside line in the agreed haode code. But to his heart, his call went unanswered.
At the same time, Gal also found that there were a few fewer of his subordinates behind him, and he couldn't hide his voice anymore, and opened his mouth to ask in a low voice about the whereabouts of these people.
To Gal's surprise, no one could tell the whereabouts of the missing people! All of a sudden, the strange atmosphere gradually dispersed in the assassination team, and the faces of the team members became more and more ugly one by one!
"Withdraw!" In such an atmosphere, Gal no longer had the courage to find out the whereabouts of Winnie, and he only hoped that he would escape the ducal palace alive.
Gal led his men back the way they came, but he didn't go far when he noticed that a few low walls had suddenly appeared on the road that had been smooth. At first, he thought that he was going in the wrong direction in the dark, but after encountering this situation several times in a row, he felt that something was wrong!
Gal gathered his men together to discuss a countermeasure, but only then did he realize that he had a few fewer men.
By this time, Gal had already understood that he was lucky this time, and he ordered his men to disperse and break out.
Watching his men leave one by one, Gal picked a large plant next to him and hid it in the night.
As Gal observed, he noticed that there were a large number of masters hiding in the darkness, and each of his departing men was quickly followed. The strength of these masters is obviously higher than that of his own men, and it seems that they can only ask for more blessings for themselves!, Garr secretly prayed for his men in his heart.
After a few faint screams, calm was restored in the Duke's Palace, the lights in the palace gradually turned on, and the masters who were in ambush also withdrew from the rain one after another.
At this time, the night was already very deep, and the people in the house seemed to be a little tired after this period of busyness, and the lights in the house were extinguished one after another.
But Gal was still lying quietly in place, and he didn't dare to move even the slightest.
After another hour or two, there was still no movement in the Duke's Palace, and after a while, the light was about to shine, and Gar knew that he could not wait any longer, and he began to move cautiously outward.
Just then, Gal suddenly saw a frog standing in front of him. The frog was a little larger than a normal frog, and it seemed to be looking at itself with a mocking gaze at the moment, which was also the memory of Juihou when Gal was awake.
When Gal awoke again, he was surprised to find himself in a sealed room, wrapped in a large quilt and tied to a stake.
Around him, there were also seven or eight braziers, and in the braziers there was a "crackling" and still burning charcoal.
It was the height of summer, and although it had just rained outside, the actual temperature was still not low. Regardless, everything around Gal was a little out of place.
"Hey, anyone? I want water!" said Gal, who felt his sweat already soak the quilt on his body, and he couldn't help but feel thirsty.
To Gal's horror, no one stood up to him except for his own echoes and the sound of charcoal burning.
"Come on, I'm thirsty, give me water to drink!"
Still no one was paying attention to Gal, which also kept him upset.
Gal felt it take a long time, and suddenly there was a sound of the door opening behind him, and a strong man of the Giant Clan walked in from outside.
"What is the purpose of your secret invasion of the Duke's Palace?" the fierce giant man asked viciously as he stood in front of Gal.
"This is the Duke's Palace? My brothers and I just saw the deep mansion compound here, and wanted to get something valuable here! Uncle, we don't know this is the Duke's Palace, please spare your life!"
"So you're stealing!" the brawny man sneered at Garr, leaned over and grabbed one of his ears, ripping it off.
"Dare not tell me the truth!" the strong man ignored Gal who was moaning in pain, casually threw his ear aside, and turned and walked out with a mutter.
Even if the pain was hot, Gal sweated more, and the loss of blood made him feel even more thirsty.
As soon as Gal stopped moaning, he heard the door open again, and the strong man appeared in front of him again, this time with a small, blunt wooden saw in his hand.
With this strong man's stature, it looks a little ridiculous for him to fit in with this little wooden saw, but Gal doesn't have any intention of doing so, because the strong man gently puts the little wooden saw on his other ear! (To be continued......
