When she came back to her senses, Mo Ling'er found that only the four of them had escaped, and the promise and the man in armor beside him were gone, it stands to reason that Xiao Shu opened the way in front, and there was a wind blade to cover, plus the weather was bad, it was impossible not to escape, but unfortunately, these two people were gone.

But at this time, he can't go back, the other party is still tracking down the whereabouts of a few of them everywhere, and now he goes back and makes it clear that he has thrown himself into the net and exposed his identity, Xiao Shu naturally doesn't care, he has no concern anyway, a person outside the realm, no one can stop him if he wants to leave, but Rose They are different, they broke into the Duke's Mansion at night to assassinate, this crime is enough to sentence the death penalty.

The two great spirit warrior-level spirit mages, plus Mo Qiunian, an ordinary person who has not yet entered and only understands theory, wants to face the wanted people of the North Ye Kingdom, basically dead and dead, and what is the situation of the promise, he is now regarded as a rebel, helping him is tantamount to going against the entire royal family, even Rose understands the stakes.

Xiao Shu thought for a moment and said, "You guys go first, I'll go back and have a look." ”

Rose just wanted to refute, but heard Mo Ling'er say, "Sister Rose, let's go back." ”

Rose knew that Xiao Shu planned to take risks alone to save the promise, but she couldn't help with this matter at all, and she could only drag Xiao Shu down if she went, there were too many people in the Duke's Mansion who were stronger than the Great Lingshi, and tonight's plan was already risky, and if it was someone else, it would have nothing to do with herself, and she would have been cleaned up a long time ago, that is, Rose, and she really dared to follow her as soon as her head was hot.

But there are some things that can't be solved by just relying on enthusiasm, no matter how powerful Xiao Shu is, it is impossible to take care of the safety of so many people at the same time, the reality is like this, when the ability is not enough, not adding chaos is already the greatest help.

"Be careful. ”

Xiao Shu nodded, turned around and walked towards the Duke's Palace, and in a blink of an eye, his figure had disappeared from view.

"It's okay, Xiao Shu is very powerful, he strayed into the Void Spirit Realm when he ascended outside the realm, and no one could help him. Mo Qiunian saw that Rose was a little depressed, and hurriedly comforted.

"I hope so. ”

Mo Ling'er frowned slightly, this series of things happened a little too strangely, so that she always felt that something was wrong, as if she was being led by the nose, how could it be so coincidental, but tonight they planned, someone stabbed Nalan, that person just left, and in a blink of an eye, several of them became scapegoats.

Since Nalan was assassinated, this is equivalent to overturning all their previous inferences, no matter who the puppet in Xiao Shu's mouth is, but his actions are definitely not based on Nalan, there is someone else behind it, but who is this person?

Mo Ling'er integrated the information she knew in her mind as she walked.

Nolan and his son were framed, Yue and Ziluo were replaced, the queen regent announced that the Noh family would be wiped out within a month, and Nalan used the letter provided by Hoy to confirm the rebellion of the Noh family and what happened tonight......

Who the hell wanted to kill Duke Nalan?

What is the purpose?

Why can you blame us on the occasion?

Wait a minute......

If this trend continues, the Nuo family will be seated in rebellion, and at the same time bear the charge of assassinating Nalan, and they can successfully carry out the crusade, Duke Nalan died, the two most powerful dukes of North Wind City fell one after another, Ye Bei was unconscious, and there was only one person left who really controlled the power, the Queen Regent.

But this doesn't make sense, she doesn't need to replace Yue and Ziluo at all, that is her child, unless......

The Queen Regent didn't know about it at all, even she was kept in the dark, or she was coerced, in other words, in this whole chess game, everyone except the puppet and the forces behind him inevitably became pawns without knowing it.

Each of them felt that they were chess players, and they would not understand until they died that all this had nothing to do with them.

The other party's purpose is not to assist Duke Nalan at all, nor to help the queen seize power, but to cleanse the royal family of the North Ye Kingdom, let the fake Yue ascend the throne smoothly, and seize the entire country in this seemingly complicated, but actually the easiest way.

The more Mo Ling'er thought about it, the more she felt chills all over her body, she didn't have to think about it to know that there must be more internal affairs that she didn't know about, what kind of person is this puppet, who can do this with calculations alone?

"Sister, what's wrong with you, don't say a word. ”

"Ling'er, don't be too anxious, you have to take your time for revenge, Qiu Nian is right, we can't help now, we can only trust Xiao Shu. ”

"Hmm. ”

Mo Ling'er sighed, she couldn't help but feel a little deflated in her heart, just one puppet already made her feel creepy, so how terrifying should the forces behind him be?

......

What Mo Ling'er can think of, Xiao Shu is also clear in his heart, tonight's plan failed inexplicably, and it can basically be concluded that there is definitely more than one ghost in the Nuo family, and the leader of the city defender who followed Promise is also a puppet Nine times out of ten, Promise failed to get out 100% related to him.

It is more convenient to act alone than a group of people, the wind and rain have become Xiao Shu's best cover, and the ghost generally returned to the Duke's Palace, bypassing all the guards, and between a few vertical jumps, it quietly landed on the balcony on the second floor of the Duke's Palace.

"Who!?"

One of the guards in the house only felt a dark shadow flickering outside the window, but if he looked closely, it was gone.

"Can you please stop making a fuss and yelling!? ”

The headless body of Duke Nalan was still sitting in a chair, the cold wind and rain were constantly blowing in through the holes in the windows, the chandeliers were constantly shaking in the wind and rain, the shadows of the two guards were up and down, the carpet was completely soaked, the fire in the fireplace had long since been extinguished, and the temperature inside the room was not much higher than outside.

"You think I want to, but I did see a figure passing by. ”

One of the guards explained that he didn't want to make a fuss, but after all, there was a headless corpse sitting in front of him, and at this time, let alone a human figure, even a worm crawling under his feet would startle him.

"Fart, why didn't I see it, there was broken glass outside, even a cat would make a sound when it ran over, why didn't I hear anything, I heard you screaming like a ghost. ”

As if to cater to his words, there was really a sound of glass being trampled outside, and the crunching sound kept coming, and now the nerves of both of them were tense, and they immediately pulled out the long sword at their waists and stared out the window intently.

The light in the house was blocked by the curtains, and the scene outside the balcony could not be seen clearly, but it was pitch black, and neither of them dared to approach for a while.

"Who!? Get out of here!"

"If you don't go out and have a look, I'll support you on the side at any time. ”

"Why don't you go?"

"I'm not here to give you the credit, if there is really someone outside, you can catch the murderer's comrades with your own hands, and at that time, in view of your heroic and fearless performance, you will definitely impress the royal family, and maybe you can be knighted or something. ”

"Come on, Lord Nalan was assassinated, it was our dereliction of duty, and by tomorrow, I estimate that our jobs will be lost, I am worried to death, and I am still sealed, I think, the royal family doesn't look down on me." ”

These guards do not belong to regular soldiers, but some private mercenaries, if the army is not enough to fight on weekdays, they will often recruit this group of people, of course, the risk of fighting is too high, although there is a lot of money, but there is also a life to spend, so it becomes the guard of some aristocratic families, it has become the best choice, after all, you can get money by looking at the garden, and life is very wanton and chic.

The two argued for a while about who to go out, but there was no movement outside the window.

"Listen to the errand, I don't believe that those four people dare to come back, assassinating the Duke is a serious crime, once caught, death is not happy. ”

"Do you know who the two people we caught just now are? The young master of the Nuo family, as well as the leader of the city defenders, Fang Ye, to be honest, Lord Nalan has just led the army to besiege Fengxi Fort on the front foot, and he promised to personally lead people to assassinate him on the back foot, why am I a little unbelievable, this courage is too big, if he escapes successfully, it will be reasonable, but he was caught. ”

"I also think it's strange, besieging Wind Breath Castle, believing that it was the queen who rebelled against their Nuo family, Lord Nalan advocated pursuing the truth at the beginning, not to mention, even if he killed Lord Nalan, what could he do, the Iron Guards would still not retreat, what was the point of taking such a big risk? ”

"It's not that simple, I think there's definitely something strange about it. ”

"Almost, you really think you're solving the case, what does this matter have to do with us, they love to fight, don't fight and pull down, have this time to think about this, it's better to think about it, what should we do if we lose our jobs, or take something casually, I think the things in this house are quite valuable." ”

Seeing that there was no one else around, the guard looked at the wooden cabinet placed by the wall, and inevitably felt greed in his heart, the things in the Duke's Palace were worth a fortune if they were taken out casually, and maybe they would not need to be mercenaries for the rest of their lives.

The other guard just wanted to taunt him a few words, but suddenly he felt that the world was spinning, and before he could speak, his head had already hit the wet carpet hard, and he immediately lost consciousness.

"Where's the promise?"

"Don't you know, ask me ......"

Before he finished speaking, he already felt that something was wrong, this voice was not familiar at all, and when he looked back, he didn't recognize the one standing in front of him, and he didn't know when he came in.

But he is not a vegetarian, the mercenary is a knife to beg for a living, even if his Lingwu only has the level of forging the heart, but it is much stronger than Lingwan's students, he has rich experience in actual combat, and when he turned around, he slashed at Xiao Shu with a sword, no matter who you are, kill it first at this time.
