said it was a two-day wait, of course not in that little chicken feather inn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After returning for a night's rest, Zhang Ang and Adolf began to go out into the streets to gather intelligence.
No matter the streets and alleys, you can see groups of soldiers in neat armor and sharp weapons constantly patrolling.
According to the talk of some Viennese citizens on the side of the road, since the "assassination" incident occurred the day before yesterday, several troops have been transferred in from outside the city, and in addition to the defense of the Hofburg Palace has been strengthened several times, there are more than a dozen patrols patrolling the streets than before, and each team is more numerous and more elite than before!
Zhang Ang scanned some of these teams with the eye of data, most of these soldiers have the strength of great warriors, and the captain who leads the team even has the strength of a martial arts master, and his body has a strong murderous aura, and he knows that he is the elite of a hundred battles at a glance!
Even if Zhang Ang and Adolf have the current strength, it is of course no problem to easily kill a few such patrols, but there are far more patrols in the whole city, if they are dragged down, under the encirclement and suppression of the army, I am afraid that they may not be spared.
Along the main road, Zhang Ang and Adolf began to slowly approach Vienna's central square.
The square is still quite empty, hesitant to be located in the center of the city, but there are many people coming and going here, but the citizens and pedestrians rarely set foot in the square, they often travel in a hurry, do not stop, just pass here and go their separate ways.
But there were a lot of people in the empty square, it was a group of elite soldiers in old-fashioned Austrian military uniforms, and compared with the patrols on the street, they were obviously more densely numbered, almost the Hofburg Palace behind the square was impassable, and one by one they were lost and fierce, staring at the passers-by, looking extremely vigilant.
Zhang Ang and Adolf didn't stay long, and after a few glances, they left here with the rolling flow of people.
But it was just a few glances that gave them a sufficient understanding of the defense power of the Hofburg Palace.
The ordinary soldiers patrolling outside were fine, but there were three grandmaster-level powerhouses in front of the gate of the Hofburg Palace, and there was a great grandmaster guarding the high part of the palace wall, which was just a glimpse of the situation on the surface. But what is the situation in the palace can almost be expected, and there may even be a Venerable-level powerhouse in it!
With such a formation, even if Zhang Ang and Adolf want to break through with their strength, they will be dead and dead!
"Alas, looking at this formation, only the Martial Saint can be sure to retreat after the assassination. I found a remote café and sat down, Zhang Ang sighed.
"This guard doesn't matter, the key is whether the Grand Duke Luisa is dead or not, everything will be fine if he dies, but if he is not dead, it will be even more difficult to assassinate him in this situation. Adolf analyzed.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ang said directly: "I think, people should not be dead, otherwise everyone is dead, what are they sending so many guards for?"
"Not necessarily, this Grand Duke Louisa is now a banner, France is a soldier by virtue of his status as the heir to the Austrian royal family, if she dies, France will have no righteousness, so it is very likely that the French general who stayed in Vienna is covering up the fact that she is dead! I want to delay time!" Adolf frowned and analyzed again: " After all, once the French revolutionary army on the front line wins the battle and forces the Kaiser to sign an alliance under the city, when the time comes, will Austria be independent or not, or will it not be the French who have the final say?"
"It's possible...... Zhang Ang took a sip of coffee and agreed: "In this case, what we have to do is to find a way to spread the news that the Grand Duke Louisa is dead!
"How can we tell the truth? If there is no evidence, who will believe it? Besides, we can't be sure if she's dead or not. Adolf looked suspicious.
"The key is whether she's dead or not, or seriously injured. Zhang Ang also felt a little tricky, and reluctantly thought of a way: "The palace is not only guards, there should also be maids, servants or something, after all, there is news coming out, let's just inquire again." ”
After sipping the bitter coffee from their cups, Zhang Ang and Adolf returned to the Blue River Tavern from yesterday, hoping to hear anything new here.
As soon as she sat down with the ale, she heard someone behind her raise her voice and shout: "Why are you not dead? You must be dead! Now that the people in the city are panicking, she has not come out to appease the people, what other possibility can she have? She must have been killed, and now the French are covering up the news and delaying time!"
As soon as he turned around, Zhang Ang found that the one who was shouting was still the bearded man from yesterday. There were many people around him, some of them were eating and listening to the general, while others scoffed at his words and sometimes retorted.
"That's two Martial Saints! How many of them are there in our city now? It's just one of the Beduofen Lords! The French are now fighting fiercely against the Germans on the front line, how can they leave a peerless powerhouse of the Martial Saint level in Vienna to protect her?"
"Okay, okay, even if Napoleon felt sorry for his fiancée and deliberately left one to protect her. There are two of them! One blocks and the other kills, and that's the momentum of the kill! How can they survive?"
"I'll just say it, now the French are dragging their feet! Otherwise, what are they doing with so many guards in the palace? Then if there are more ordinary guards first, can they still stop the martial saint from coming again? Prevent those ordinary people who want to hear the news! Prevent the news of that slut's death from spreading!"
"As soon as that slut dies, then the French army will have no righteousness! There will be no reason to continue fighting! Even if it finally wins, it will not be able to swallow us Austria! Our Austria and Germany are one family! We have a long history with each other, and the relationship has always been very good, so it is possible to merge into one country, so France not only does not border with us, but also has different customs of Wenhu, and without a suitable puppet to help, what will he use to annex us?"
......
The beard is talking energetically.
"Bang"
The door to the tavern was kicked open, and a patrol in Austrian uniforms and armor entered.
Seeing the patrol appear, the tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone even stopped eating.
The leader of the patrol looked around the tavern, saw the bearded man hiding in the crowd, and immediately gave an order: "It's him! Here is a fallacy to confuse the people and deceive the people! It must be a German spy! Arrest me!"
Hearing the order, the soldiers rushed up, and after a few crowds, they rushed towards the beard!
The beard was obviously not high in martial arts, and he was knocked to the ground after just two steps, gagged, and tied up.
This incident made the people in the tavern tremble, and the whole tavern was almost noticeable.
Seeing his subordinates go out with beards, the patrol captain did not hurry to leave, he looked around again and said loudly: "I know what you are thinking, don't listen to rumors! Grand Duke Luisa was not injured in the slightest! He was not killed! This attack on the Martial Saint was just a misunderstanding! Well, it is useless to say more! Tomorrow! The Grand Guild of Luisa will lead a team to visit the Vienna Academy of Arts! At that time, all rumors will be destroyed!"
