Chapter 340: Bait
There are no secrets in the nobility.
After all, the assassination of the aristocratic negotiating group was not stopped, but because of the efforts of Ronald and other new nobles, this matter only quietly circulated in the aristocratic circle of Mountain Creek City, and did not spread widely.
As for Simpson and the others, although they can't blatantly sabotage the negotiations, they will definitely pass this matter to the capital. Of course, in their telling, the most suspicious murderer is naturally the gray army.
However, these are all side matters, and the main ones are the negotiating parties.
First of all, the negotiations that were originally scheduled to be held once a day will definitely end without a hitch. Although the secret agencies gave up revenge, Pilt's betrayal still shocked Josia and them too much. After receiving Donn's suggestion, Josia simply made some adjustments to the organization.
The reorganized secret agency is completely in accordance with the guidelines of the intelligence department, and the skeleton of it is the ten people that Don trained before. According to Don's Jihua, the institutions will be more covert and professional than before, both in terms of external locations and internal contacts. Of course, power should also be more concentrated!
However, although it is a partial adjustment, the scale of the secret agency is not small now, and naturally the effect cannot be seen immediately. But as long as there is a direction, with Josia's ability, there is not much problem in running an efficient and professional organization.
At the same time, Ronald's new aristocratic group is also entangled in many trivial matters. After all, it is a dead nobleman, and they came together, although this matter has been suppressed for the time being, but the undercurrent surging in it cannot be underestimated, and if it is not handled well, it will be a fuse that ignites at a moment. And they have to deal with the endless accusations from the traditional aristocracy, which is even more of a headache.
But that's the case. Josia's side and the new nobles were not cut off in the past two days. After passing the blend through Philip. The two sides have once again established initial confidence.
But it was just three days after this happened. The hotel where the noble negotiators stayed was assassinated again!
......
In the morning, the secret agency liaison point, Philip, who had arrived in a hurry, gathered in the conference room with Josia, Don and others.
Because of the shocking news brought by Philip, the room went through a lot of chaos. After the discussion took a break, Don frowned and asked, "How many people died this time?"
"Three. Philip shook his head with a gloomy face, "This time it's all from our new nobles, two are the administrative deputies of this negotiation, and one is the nobles." Alas. The nobleman lived across the door from my room, and said goodnight to me before going to bed. ”
"Are the people from the Garrison Department here? What have you discovered?" Now that Don En already knows that Boris is beginning to notice this, the so-called art industry has a specialty, and it is natural that it depends on these professionals to solve the case and arrest people.
"It's early in the morning, but what can you find?" Philip smiled bitterly twice and spread his hands, "It's still the same neat and neat way, directly cutting off the head while he was asleep, without struggling, naturally there will be no clues." ”
Donn nodded silently. Then he fell into deep thought.
"Hmph, good death. Joyful ......"
"Diff!" Josia glared at the muttered Def, then bowed his head apologetically to Philip.
Shrugging his shoulders, Philip didn't care. Of course, this is the guy who doesn't care about the new aristocracy at all, and if Ronald is sitting here, hearing Div's words, at least a mess is inevitable.
"It seems that the negotiations will not go on again. Josia frowned and shook her head slightly, and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Philip spread his hands honestly: "I don't know, when I first came out, the hotel was in a hurry, some said they wanted to change places, and some said they wanted to go back...... Alas, in fact, after the last assassination, layers of security have been laid inside the hotel, but now it is still easily obtained by the other party, and now everyone is worried that they will be the next target. ”
This result is inevitable, in this case, not to mention the nobles who spare their lives, even if they are replaced by other people, they will not be able to avoid it.
The silent Don suddenly spoke, "Is there anything important about this negotiation on your new nobles' side?"
"Something important?" Philip scratched his head, "It seems to be such a ...... Oh, by the way, Sir Ronald has a seal, well, more important. ”
"Oh. Don nodded thoughtfully, and then stopped talking.
Josia on the side was stunned, because she saw Don En glancing at her covertly, and then looked at Enoch, Dif and the others, and her eyes drooped. After a moment's thought, Josia understood, returned to his usual expression, continued to talk to Philip for a while, and soon got up to see him off. Of course, Donne, as Philip's friend, naturally got up to send him off.
Approaching the contact gate, Philip consciously picked up a black cloth to cover his eyes and stepped into the closed carriage.
Don didn't say anything, just beckoned and took the driver's place. Josia on the side didn't understand, but he still sat with Donn.
Don glanced at Josia, didn't refuse, and waved his whip to move the horse forward. After a few minutes of driving, Don suddenly turned the carriage into a remote alleyway, stopped, and got into the carriage with Josia.
"It's going to be soon...... Huh, this smell ......" In the carriage, Philip was honestly sitting on one side, first muttering to himself, then opening his mouth in astonishment, sniffing a few times in the direction of Josia sitting, and quickly reaching out to take the black cloth in front of him.
"Tsk, your kid's nose is smart enough. After glancing at Josia with a crimson face, Don turned his head and smacked his lips with contempt and admiration.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay. Philip put down the black cloth in embarrassment, and then as if he thought of something, his body shrank back suddenly, his face showed horror, "I'll rub, Tang, you don't really want to kidnap me, I'm really not a prince." ”
"Uh, hehe......" Josia was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Tang En said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, even if you are the prince, I will not kidnap your ......"
"That's good, that's good......"
"I'm mainly worried about your father's righteous death!"
“......”
"Alright. No kidding. Don waved his hand. The look is straight. "Does that seal really play an important role in the negotiation? Oh, if it's difficult, you don't need to go into details. ”
"Actually, it's not so ......" After a pause, Philip rolled his eyes, straightened up, and waved his arms magnificently, "Look at what you said, even if the seal plays an important role? Can you still not give Josia face?"
"Getting to the point!" Don continued to look expressionless.
"It's not kind, I know that I will guard and steal ......" muttered in a low voice, Philip glanced at Don angrily, then leaned against the wall of the car, and said listlessly, "Remember what I told you earlier? On the surface, this negotiation is a struggle between the new nobles and the traditional nobles, but in fact, it really involves the struggle for imperial power between the two highnesses of the Bran Empire. Ronald: They were just pushed out on a mission, if there was a result in negotiations. He will pass the results back to the capital and let His Royal Highness make a decision. Of course. The letter must have the personal seal of His Royal Highness on it. ”
"So, the seal that Sir Ronald is holding in his hand is the personal seal of the second prince?" concluded Josia.
Philip nodded: "Not bad!"
Tang En pinched his chin: "It seems that it is really important...... Do the Simpsons know about this?"
"I should be able to guess, but I don't necessarily know about the seal. Philip thought about it and gave the answer.
"That's what you want!" Don smiled as he slapped his palm, and then said to Philip, "I need you to get that seal, well, preferably in public." ”
"Uh, weishenme?"
Tang En narrowed his narrow eyes: "Because I think that the so-called murderer is close to you, or someone who knows you very well, and his purpose should be to sabotage the negotiations." ”
Philip was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Wait, you said that the other party is to sabotage the negotiation, I believe, after all, the people killed now are indeed from the negotiation team." But why do you think he's right next to us?"
"It's simple, because you're not dead. Tang En spread his hands and calmly analyzed, "The other party killed you last night, weishenme didn't take it into your room?" Don't forget, I killed five last time, and only three this time." I don't believe that you kid is going shit luck, the biggest possibility is that the other party knows your identity. Tsk, didn't you say that as long as the other party is not crazy, they will not dare to kill you? Obviously, the other party is not crazy. ”
Philip was stunned for a while, and then slammed his palm, "Reasonable! Reasonable...... I wiped it, it seems that the problem is still with that group of traditional nobles! It's so fucking mad that in order to divert attention, they even killed their own people. ”
"I don't care if he's crazy or not, I just know that if the seal is with you, the other party will definitely come to you. ”
"Good idea, set a trap and wait for them...... Uh, wait!" Philip blinked a few times, stretched out his finger to himself, and his face changed drastically, "You, you, you, are you going to use me as bait?"
"yes, what's the problem?" Don spread his hands with a look of certainty, "I've thought about it, as long as your identity is really awesome enough, they will only stun you at most, and they won't dare to kill you." ”
"Help me xiexie, your whole family...... You're calling me this kind of thing, what are you kidding? No, absolutely not!" Philip kept waving his hand and shrunk back into the carriage. That jiashi, almost broke the car and ran away.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you. You just take care of sleeping, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Well, that's not going to work either!"
"I knew it was going to be like this......" Shaking his head speechlessly, Don got up and patted Josia on the shoulder, with a look of 'leaning on you'.
Josia pursed her lips and chuckled, nodded easily, and opened the car door to let Don out first.
......
"Uh, why are you looking at me like this? I tell you, like to like, but when it comes to the problem of small lives, beauty tricks are useless to me...... Well, it's useless!"
“......”
"Wow, your eyes are so beautiful, and the stars in the sky are just like that...... Ahem, what, can you stop looking at it, I'm panicking when I see it......"
“......”
"I'm a piece of shit, please don't look at it......"
