Chapter 337: Who's Doing It?
When a person's position, status, etc. changes, the direction of thinking and decision-making often changes. This is almost inevitable, because at that level, the scope of interest involved in each decision is not its own, but the hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of people who follow......
Just like Josia, although most of the clues and contradictions now point directly to the aristocratic negotiating group, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that there is no conclusive evidence here. And even if you know that the other party did it, you can't lock down the real murderer...... This can be seen by everyone except for Def and others who are bent on revenge. But what can this be? As long as you know that the other party has the biggest suspicion, as long as you know that the old man here is dead, then this revenge is imperative!
At present, the main work of the secret agencies is still propaganda and intelligence, but since it can be linked to intelligence, there is naturally a force aspect. Of course, compared to the strength of those black-clothed people who were ambushed before, the secret agency in Liliang in Mountain Creek City was still lacking. Josia ordered the transfer of men, that is, the mobilization of men from neighboring cities.
In fact, the biggest reason why the secret agencies are weak is that they are scattered, and they are close to the 100,000 mountain boundaries, and there are as many branches as there are cities, so the manpower of the secret agencies naturally has to be evenly divided.
And even if it is transferred from the nearest city, it will take at least a day to come and go. So on this normal night, although the secret agencies are constantly moving, they have finally spent this dark night quietly......
......
The next day, in the morning.
Originally, according to the last negotiation, there was a negotiation at noon today. The location remains the same. But now this is the case. Naturally, no one thinks about it.
Josia and the others sat in a solemn room. Waiting for the people to arrive and the accumulation of strength exploded, the sudden arrival of a person completely disrupted the situation......
"You have also read the information of the noble negotiation team, except for those nobles who don't know the depth of strength, the defense on the surface is the hundreds of cavalry. They are a branch of the Royal Guard, and although their strength is average, they are not to be underestimated. The key now is that we don't know how many hidden liliang liliang the other party has like the man in black last night......"
After a pause, Josia tapped on the love newspaper on the table. Looking at the people around them, who were either expressionless or enthusiastic, he continued, "Of course, we also have the advantage, that is, we are always in the dark. Therefore, this retaliation action, we still have to carry out it in secret, retreat with one blow, and try not to leave any leverage...... Tang, the location of the ambush and Jihua are determined by you, and I will lead the deployment of people!"
Don nodded. Just wait for the promise. But just then, a young man came in at the door.
"Commander. A brother brought someone outside the door, and he said that he knew you and Captain Tang. ”
Josia and Don looked at each other, both a little puzzled, the former frowned and said, "What about the identity of the other party?"
"Just the name, Philip. ”
"Uh......" Don opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, what is this thing doing here? Don was not surprised that Philip could find this place, after all, Philip asked him the address of the secret agency contact point yesterday.
Philip ...... That nobleman! he dared to come? good! very good!" Def, who was beside him, also thought of this person, and stood up from his seat with a loud bang, his face full of anger, and he grabbed the war knife that had been wiped a hundred times in his hand, and rushed out of the door.
"Def......" Josia stretched out his hand, but Div had already rushed out of the room, deaf to him, and headed straight for the front door. Fortunately, by this time, Don had already floated away, following closely behind. Lowering his arm, Josia got up, "Let's go check it out, too." ”
This point of contact was actually a few houses, and Def rushed quickly, but in an instant he came to the courtyard of the front door. Tang En naturally couldn't be slowed down by him, and after arriving here almost at the same time, when he looked up, he saw a few guards with unkind faces at the door surrounding a young man in gorgeous robes.
Needless to say, it was Philip, who was now covered with a black cloth over his eyes, and his face was calm, and there was no discomfort, just standing lazily.
The secret agency, when you hear the name, you know that you can't see the light, and the black cloth on Philip's eyes was naturally added to him by the people at the contact point.
"Thief, eat me with a knife...... Captain Don, don't pull me ......"
After coming here, Div did not hesitate to swing his sword forward, but his shoulder was grabbed by Don in time, and then he let his face turn red, and the war knife in his hand kept waving, but he just couldn't take a step forward.
"Sorry, I'll wait until Josia comes. "After arriving here, Don naturally can't let Div go up and cut people. Although according to Don's inner thoughts, he also wants to watch this guy make a fool of himself, but he is also a friend, and this kind of fatal thing must naturally be avoided.
There was a lot of movement here, and Philip naturally heard it, although he couldn't see what was happening, but the sound of the sword breaking through the air could still be heard. His face changed suddenly, and he no longer looked lazy, and hurriedly reached out to take off the black cloth in front of him. At this moment,
Whoosh -
The bright white shadow swirled in the bright sunlight and threw the reflected blade light towards Philip. But it was Div, who was in a fit of rage, that he threw away his sword because he was frozen.
"Don't ......" "Scare ......"
A series of exclamations were made by Josia and the others, who happened to be in a hurry. However, because the distance is too far, and there is still Dondiv in the middle, it is too late to save them with magic.
Div's strength is not high, but with such a close distance, there is naturally no possibility of throwing crooked. In fact, the route of the spinning knife was headed towards Philip's head.
"Uh......" Tang En was slightly stunned, and he was about to go up and grab the spinning war knife as soon as he moved, his speed was needless to say, no matter how short the distance was, he also had the ability to reach it in an instant. However, just after taking a few steps, his figure was stunned, and Tang En suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing slightly.
It wasn't that he couldn't be saved, but that Philip suddenly screamed, his body was short, and he rolled behind the guard beside him in embarrassment, and he would avoid the whirling sword.
There was a muffled thud, and the knife was finally nailed to the half-hidden wooden door behind it.
......Behind him, Josia exhaled happily or regretfully, and then quickly surrounded Div without delay.
Don put away his thoughtful expression, his lips curled slightly, stepped forward to pull Philip up, and ripped off the black cloth with his hand.
"Goo Dong......" Philip's first reaction was to turn his head, and when he saw the sharp war knife that penetrated into the wood, his throat moved, and he swallowed his saliva, with a scared expression on his face.
Patting the dust on Philip's body, Don chuckled and said, "Hehe, the reaction is good, I can't see that you still have this skill." ”
Philip looked stunned for a moment, glanced at Donn, and spread his hands helplessly: "It's okay, you know, this kind of scene is really common for me, well, especially when the cheating is bumped." ”
"Hah......" Donn laughed and said nothing.
When a person encounters danger, the body's reaction always exceeds the mind. Before Philip rolled just now, there was clearly a momentum rising on his body, but it was instantly disguised. Although Don couldn't see the depth of Philip's strength, he also knew that he was definitely not as weak as he seemed to be. Of course, everyone has secrets, Philip is not an enemy, and Don doesn't have the leisure to get to the bottom of it.
After this confusion, Josia introduced Philip into the back house. Although the Diff and the others were still full of anger, they didn't have the heart to do it immediately.
But after the frightened Philip took a sip of tea and said the first sentence, the room suddenly exploded again.
"By the way, did you do it last night?"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone looked at each other. Then Def was the first to jump up again, pointing straight at Philip's nose.
"Your mother, it turns out that you know about this, and say, did you do it!"
"Shameless! What do you call us to move? It's clear that you ambushed the regiment leader last night, causing Ba Lao to die, ah......"
"What about the knife, what about my knife, see if I can't kill this daring thief......"
......
Philip froze as he held the teacup and blinked, staring stunned at the angry face in front of him.
Bang!"Give me silence!"
In the midst of the loud noise, Josia slammed the table and got up, and a slightly sharp shout instantly drowned out the noise in the room. Immediately glancing around the silence, Zuihou looked at Philip, his face slightly gloomy: "Do you know what happened last night?"
Just like Donn's perception, although Philip has spent a little bit and is very unreliable in doing things, it is undeniable that he does have a unique temperament in him, which makes people can't help but have the idea of making friends with him. Although Josia repeatedly rejected Philip's love, she at least recognized the friend.
This is also the reason why she still didn't drive Philip away just now, knowing that the war with the noble negotiators was imminent. But if Philip had known about last night, everything would have been different. The ambush came so suddenly and ended so quickly that only they and the perpetrators could have known......
"Yes. Philip replied rather inexplicably, and then saw Josia's face even more ugly, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly raised his hands, "Wait, wait." My brain is a little messy, a little messy, let me sort it out first. ”
Quickly tapping his forehead, Philip looked at the people around him with fierce and vicious expressions, and asked cautiously, "What did you just say...... Well, you were ambushed last night?"
"Not bad!" Josia nodded coldly. Diff added viciously on the side, "Ba Lao also died under this ambush. ”
"You think it's our hands......? Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean that. Seeing that the people around him were about to go berserk again, Philip quickly said the following words, "In the early hours of last night, the tavern where we lived was also assassinated, and five people died, well, there were three nobles. ”
After a pause, he spread his hands, "We thought it was yours." ”
“......”
