In the evening, the capital. Roads, horse-drawn carriages.

"Young master, they withdrew. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Believe me, young master, any watcher can date five beautiful women in a row within half a day of seeing the subject of surveillance, enjoy three delicious afternoon teas, two sumptuous dinners, and spend half an hour with two of them, almost every day...... They're all going to retreat. ”

"Oh...... Are you sure it's only for half an hour?"

"That's not the point, young master. ”

"But this is a slander! a double slander against my personality and physique!"

"I misremembered, I apologize, young master. ”

"Well, I forgive you, for the sake of the gods......"

Pouting, Philip lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage, "Next intersection, find a secluded place for me to get off, and then you drive the carriage to Baby Jenny's house, give her the portrait, and by the way, bring my apologies, I can't accompany her to a date tonight." ”

"Okay, but young master, you have already made an appointment with Miss Jenny in the afternoon...... It's Countess Dalena, young master. ”

“...... You have to raise the bar, do you?"

"No, it's just a matter of facts. ”

"Get off! Now, now—I'm going to get off!"

"Okay, as you wish, young master. ”

......

A moment later, the serious butler drove the carriage away slowly, while Philip muttered curses on the side of the road and cocked his collar, looked to the left and right alertly, carrying a long wooden box, turned and flashed into the dark alleyway behind him.

Keep your head down, take a quick step, pause and turn at the right time......

Although there is enough to be called a great grandfather. But Philip's strength can only be described as average. I have never done an assassin profession that is not on the table. So at the moment, this is quite a sneaky dodge action that means 'there are no silver three hundred taels here'. It can only be evaluated as clumsy. Fortunately, he is familiar enough with the geographical environment of the capital, so this can't be called a sneak-in, so far it is relatively smooth......

With Philip's status, it is naturally abnormal to personally risk such an obvious petty theft.

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

As I mentioned before, when Philip was serious, it was quite reliable. Of course, there really aren't many times when this kind of seriousness happens.

Reasons for this. First, because of his character, Philip has never been a serious person, which I believe he will not deny. The second reason is that there are really not many things that can make Philip care, and it really can't be serious......

However, it is clear that there are all kinds of signs that Philip is definitely serious at the moment.

Also at a loss.

In fact, since Don successfully assassinated Winslin not long ago, and then Philip immediately conveyed the happy news to his grandfather, who was still recuperating in the royal court sanatorium, this confusion has been lost. Especially when he followed his grandfather's command to go to the mountains to get a sword. This kind of love has reached its peak......

He was in the middle of the Wooding Lodge on the mountain, and it was not just his grandfather's sword of fame that he had taken. And brought a knife down the mountain.

A knife that is extremely vulgar in terms of name and use--the Golden Wire Big Ring Knife.

He had heard of the origin of the knife, and it was clear that it had been given to his grandfather by Don when he was in the north. The latter used it to split through the Northern Temple, cutting it in two. Later, he also slashed through the real temple association, cut through the magic defense shield on the periphery of the island, and walked away, making a lot of noise......

Judging from the above experience, this vulgar broadsword can be called legendary. But this was not the reason for Philip's confusion, he was just a little puzzled, why when he went to get the sword, he saw a note from his grandfather on the side, asking him to take the big sword that obviously should not be exposed down the mountain.

Philip was puzzled for many days and wanted to go to the sanatorium to ask him in person, but was told that his grandfather did not want to see him...... Of course, this was just an excuse, but it also made Philip, who was confused, vaguely understand what his grandfather meant.

Holding a sword is just a disguise, holding a knife is the real purpose. All he needs to do is hide the knife and don't tell anyone.

Until, at this moment-

Philip's confusion did not last long, and when he entered the royal castle and met Michau, who had been waiting for a long time, and with the help of the latter, quietly crossed the outer layers of the sanatorium, Philip vaguely understood. When I entered the recuperation area, I saw my grandfather Wu Ding, who was supposed to be lying in bed to recuperate, but now he was dressed and sat peacefully, and all the teams around the gray space, all the puzzles were solved in an instant......

"Brought the knife?" Glancing at the wooden box in Philip's hand, who was standing in a daze, Wooding asked, his voice old and hoarse.

First subconsciously raised the wooden box, and then Philip took a deep breath, and asked in a trembling voice with a little luck: "Grandfather, you ...... What is this going to do?"

"Go and close a deal. Looking at Philip, who realized something and couldn't hide his panicked and worried expression, a faint smile rose on the corner of Wooding's mouth.

Urgently, "What deal?" and with whom?"

"With Don Jr., of course. One sword for two promises, I earned it, didn't I?"

"Winsling's ......" Philip is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to break into the prestigious name of 'Imperial Capital Flower Wolf' with a good skin alone.

Hearing this, Wu Ding nodded with satisfaction and chuckled: "That's right, this is one of the promises, just like the deposit in the transaction process, he paid it, and then it's time to pay him back." ”

"How, what, what?"

Wooding glanced at Philip's clenched, bruised fists, and shook his head gently, "You should have thought of it, Philip...... Of course, he will always make a shot at the temple to help Xiao Tang successfully escape after the assassination. ”

"Damn! Why don't I know this?Deal, deal! This bastard - is it really unprofitable to be early?!" Philip, who gritted his teeth and felt betrayed and used in an instant, like an enraged beast, Huo Ran looked up angrily at the members of the gray space such as Michaeu, Luke, and Harry, and hissed and roared, "That's how that bastard did to me? Treat a friend-okay! Let him come to me, I can pay him a bounty for assassination." Why do you have to bother my grandfather—"

Although Wooding's words do not clearly explain a qiē. But one thing is certain. That is Wooding's current weak physical condition. If he forcibly strikes again, it will undoubtedly burn the few remaining life candles, and in the end, there is only one way to go!

"Quiet, Philip. Waving his hand to interrupt Philip's questioning, Wooding, who was about to come to the end of his life, looked extremely calm, "You should be able to understand." Don Jr. can't be blamed for this. On the contrary, I have to thank him for granting my last request as a dying man. Moreover, I brought up the deal first. You can go down the mountain with a knife, and you should have seen the note I left there...... This is something I had planned for a long time. ”

"But, but......" waved his arms, tried several times, kept opening and closing his mouth, and finally looked at Wooding's old face that had always been breezy and calm, Philip bowed his head, and his voice was full of doubts and resentment: "Why?"

Wu Ding shook his head slightly: "You know very well, everyone knows it, and I know my own physical condition better than all of you." Philip. I don't have long to live. In this case, instead of lying in bed like a dying old dog, it is better to survive. Take your last breath, why don't you take advantage of this limited time to do something...... Ahem......"

Coughing lightly, thinking of something, Woodin's shriveled face suddenly swelled with a layer of red light, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a hearty smile, "Hehe, Philip you know, I've been unhappy with those hypocritical old moths for a long time." But in the past, because of his identity, he couldn't be an enemy of them in this life and do something to them. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to stab them now, really happy, and you should be happy for me too. ”

Philip looked up in a daze, met his grandfather's peaceful gaze with a smile, half loud, and the corners of his mouth also curved a hint of a smile, a wry smile, the kind that is more ugly than crying......

Well, in this situation, Rao is Philip, who has always been known for his heartlessness and undisciplinedness, and it is impossible for him to be happy. But in addition to the deep helplessness, Philip also knew that he couldn't do anything at all.

Don't make a fuss, he knows very well what his grandfather's personality is, and when he really decides what to do, just like he fights with a sword, no one can stop him......

After a long silence, Philip exhaled a long breath, stabilized his mind a little, and said dryly: "What is the specific plan?"

Wooding smiled and replied, "It's very simple, let's set off overnight to reach the outskirts of the temple island, find a spot around the lakeshore, stab us, and then return." "Well, this plan is no longer simple, but simple! But in the eyes of people like Wu Ding in the realm of strength, a qiē is that simple......

"But the capital has recently been under martial law, and there is a curfew at night......" After a pause, Philip frowned unconsciously when he heard this, and then saw Mixiu, Luke and others standing on the side in night clothes, suddenly, shaking his head and being speechless, "Okay, I asked a stupid question." ”

It's really stupid, there are a group of elite professionals in the gray space, and it is not as difficult as imagined to leave the capital quietly, even if the martial law here is severe now......

Sure enough, Harry took over with a smile: "After the boss left, we have not been idle in the past few days, and we have been observing the terrain and environment here...... By the way, remember Bowis and Bernie? They are familiar with the patrol rules of the capital, the deployment of defenses, and so on. We found them and worked out a route plan together...... Believe me, of course it is impossible for us people to break into the capital, but it is not difficult to get out of here. ”

This is the so-called day and night defense, and it is difficult to prevent thieves.

"Then how do you get back quickly?" Philip, who had recovered his composure, quickly grasped the key point of the plan and looked at Wooding, "Grandfather, after you make a move, I believe that even with a knife, someone will immediately suspect you. ”

"Space teleportation. Wooding waved his hand lightly, "I have an old friend who is a space magician, and he will help us solve this problem. ”

This is the connection, with Wu Ding's level, the space mage friends he has made will naturally not be general. It is obviously not a big deal to bring these people to teleport for a short distance at the moment.

And after all the thought was thorough, even Philip, who wanted to find an excuse to disagree with Woodin's trip, could only reluctantly shut up. But

"Wait!" Philip looked up in amazement, "Tomorrow...... Isn't that the time when the crown prince is crowned and ascended to the throne? That guy, is he really going to assassinate him at the ceremony?"

"I don't know about that. Wu Ding shook his head, "According to my previous agreement with Xiao Tang, if he is sure that he can succeed in assassinating him in the shadows, it means that he can do it alone, successfully rescue and leave the temple association." In that case, I won't need to do it again. But so far, there has been no movement from the temple headquarters, which indicates that something is wrong with his original assassination plan. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But it's okay, I know that tomorrow is Don Jr.'s deadline. Tomorrow, the horde army stationed on the north bank of the Lenau River will attack. At that point, the value of Charvian's captives will be reduced, and it is hard to guarantee that the temple will never be angry with her. So no matter what the situation is, Don Jr. will inevitably do it tomorrow. ”

Philip frowned, "What if he didn't do it? What if there was still no movement at the celebration tomorrow?"

"Then we'll be back." ”

Wooding replied simply, but Philip was suddenly entangled when he heard this, and for a while, he didn't know whether to hope that Don En would do a good job, or whether he would hope that he wouldn't do it......

If he does it, if Woodin wants to pick up Donn's escape, he will inevitably follow suit. In that case, Woodin's old life will basically be explained there. And if you don't do it, it means that the fate of Don and Xia Weien is slim......

A family affection, a friendship. Dilemma, how to choose?

In fact, Philip doesn't have a chance to make a choice right now. Looking up at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Wu Ding slowly got up and said, "It's not too early, let's go......"
