Bang——The falling wine jar and the sudden cold light collided hard, making a dull sound.
The sturdy wine jar cracked, the wine spilled all over the floor, and the cold light revealed its true form. It turned out to be a green short arrow.
Although the short arrow deviated from its trajectory under the impact of the wine jar, its owner was obviously a master. Although he was blocked for a moment, the short arrow still pierced Chu Tian's chest.
The sound of the wine jar breaking and the severe pain in his chest made Chu Tian wake up suddenly. A thought immediately flashed through his mind: The killer must not be given a second chance!
Holding back the severe pain, Chu Tian quickly rushed toward the intersection outside the alley. The moment his feet moved, his hands were not idle. He took out several protective scrolls from the ring one after another and smashed them all on himself desperately!
As Chu Tian ran, he shouted loudly: "There is an assassin! Killing!"
In the silent night sky, the cry for help spread throughout half of Pompeii.
Facts have proved how wise Chutian's actions were. The scroll was smashed down, and several layers of colorful protective shields appeared on Chutian's body, wrapping Chutian in it. At the same time, three rays of cold light lined up and rushed towards Chutian again.
when! when! when! Three clear and sweet sounds came, and with the sound, the three short arrows were knocked aside by Chutian's protective shield.
The earth is shaking! The residents in the alley were woken up by the shaking. Some of the houses had their lights on, and those whose lights were not on were all old residents of Pompeii. They all knew clearly that this shaking represented what happened in Yanjing. Knowing something they are not qualified to know, they must not come forward at this time, because: the royal cavalry of the Caesar Empire has arrived!
The deafening sound of horse hooves was mixed with the shouts of the officers.
Finally met someone! I have never felt that Caesar's soldiers were so kind. Chu Tian let out a sigh of relief in the protective shield, causing a dull pain in his chest.
After the mysterious killer missed again, he seemed to have discovered that the magic shield on Chu Tian's body was unusual, so he did not take action again.
"Marquis Fradino, how are you!?" The leading soldier jumped off his horse, walked up to Chu Tian, and greeted him with concern, obviously knowing Chu Tian.
"Praise the Goddess of Life! I'm fine. Thank you for arriving in time!" After a pause, Chu Tian quickly said: "Seal this place down immediately! The murderer must be caught!"
"After hearing the adult's cry for help, I blocked the alley immediately!"
"Well, very good!" Chu Tian nodded, causing another pain in the wound!
"What's your name?" Chu Tian was very satisfied with the officer's reaction ability. He looked at the neat troops behind him. Hundreds of cavalry were crowded on the narrow road without looking messy.
Chu Tian admired in his heart: What a talent!
"Page, the last general, is a fourth-level bronze knight, affiliated with the Imperial Guards. He is currently the commander of the Yanjing Guard Corps."
After saying that, Page straightened his body, made a fist with his right hand, clasped his left chest, and gave Chu Tian a Caesar salute.
Imperial law stipulates: Caesar's cavalry has the right not to bend to anyone!
"I will remember you!" Chu Tian nodded and smiled, but unexpectedly the wound was pulled again.
He looked at the short arrow that was still stuck on his chest: it was more than two feet long, with green and fiery red arrow feathers. At this moment, Chutian's blood was gurgling along the arrow's body!
Chu Tian's face was a little pale due to excessive blood loss. As a veterinarian, Chu Tian certainly knew what excessive blood loss meant.
Gritting his teeth, he held the arrow tail with his backhand, "Huh!" With a deep hum, Chu Tian suddenly pulled out the short arrow, and poof - a stream of blood spurted out.
After briefly treating the wound, Chu Tian looked at the murder weapon in his hand and sighed: "It's so vicious!"
The short arrow turned out to be a triangular arrow!
The three bloodletting troughs are still stained with fresh blood!
The surrounding soldiers were shocked by Chu Tian's actions.
In their impression, there has never been a priest as fierce as Chu Tian, who dared to pull out his sharp weapons without using anesthesia! Invisibly, Chutian's image rose several levels in the hearts of the surrounding guards!
"Hey! Isn't this Marquis Fradino!? What's going on? What happened?" Suddenly, an old man with white hair and dressed as a servant pushed aside the crowd and walked to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian raised his eyes and saw that it was Dirk, the old butler of Andor, the right minister.
Chutian once met Old Dirk at a family banquet in Andorra.
At that time, Dirk, who was smart, capable and decent in his duties, left a good impression on Chu Tian.
With a bitter smile, Chu Tian said: "So it's you..."
He stuffed the short arrow into his arms and said, "Why are you here?"
"Oh, our master sent me out of the city on some errands this morning. I just came back now, and I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing."
Dirk looked at Chu Tian's wounds, shook his head, and said regretfully: "Who has such hatred for you, Mr. Marquis? He actually hurt you like this!"
"I have just been in Yanjing for three months. How can I offend anyone? The murderer may have mistakenly admitted the wrong person. I still have to go to heal my wounds, so you'd better just ask for it!" Chu Tian said perfunctorily, and he was not in the mood to chat now!
"Then I won't delay the Marquis' treatment. I'll take my leave first." Dirk saluted Chu Tian, turned around and left.
Looking at Dirk's retreating back and staggering steps, Chu Tian's eyes shone coldly, and he sneered in his heart: It's such a coincidence that this old guy came...
——
The news of the assassination of Marquis Fradino shocked the entire Yanjing. Led by Canas, the entire city searched for him for three days, but found nothing. The murderer seemed to have disappeared.
The three giants of the Empire's High Command - Minister of War Macori, Minister of Magic Damar, Minister of Warcraft Best, and Director of Intelligence Barry, are standing in the study of Rudy III, respectfully facing His Majesty the Emperor. And what was on the table in front of Lu Di III was the short arrow that stabbed Chu Tian!
Five people are holding an emergency meeting regarding Chu Tian's assassination!
Lu Di III now attaches great importance to Chu Tian. In the Fantasy Continent, the quality and quantity of Warcraft represent the highest strength of the country. Without Warcraft, there is nothing. This has become the consensus of the kings of various countries.
Recently, problems have arisen one after another with Chi Yan and one hundred thousand one-horned war horses. After the quality and quantity of the empire's monsters have suffered heavy losses, all the surrendered small countries have shown signs of instability, and their mortal enemy Reis is even more ready to make a move.
All this made the ambitious Ludy III irritated.
Chu Tian appeared at the critical moment, and all problems were solved in his hands. In his hands, the empire regained its strength that dwarfs all other heroes, and the borders became quiet.
Warcraft determines the fate of the country! Chutian decides the fate of Warcraft! Under such circumstances, how could Ludy III not pay attention to Chu Tian? !
In the heart of Lu Di III, Chutian has become a very important part of his plan to dominate the mainland!
Therefore, Lu Di III spared no expense to win over Chu Tian. Not only did he promote him from a commoner to a marquis within three months, he also acquiesced and even secretly supported Chu Tian in pursuing his only sister!
Otherwise, how could Serena accept Chu Tian so quickly! ?
Of course, Lu Di III is shrewd and Chu Tian is not stupid. He vaguely guessed His Majesty's thoughts. Only then did Chu Tian dare to be passive and sabotage in all aspects and let go of his hands and feet to pursue his lover!
Ludy III looked gloomy, stared at the short arrow, and shouted: "Barry! What did you find out!?"
Intelligence Director Barry took a step forward and lowered his head: "My subordinates are incompetent and don't have any clues."
Seeing that Ludy III's face became even more gloomy, he added: "The only thing we know now is the assassin's weapon. Judging from the image of this short arrow, it should be a weapon specially used by elf archers.
Based on what Marquis Fradino said, I think the murderer should be at least an Elf master with a level six golden archer or above!
However, since the demise of the Elf Kingdom, the Elf people have been scattered in various countries on the mainland, and the masters among them have no fixed residence, making it difficult to count. Therefore, it is difficult for subordinates to find out for a while. "
Ludy III nodded, agreeing with Barry's statement.
His eyes swept across the other three people, and finally fell on Best, the Minister of Warcraft: "Best, is it possible that a high-level Warcraft from another country did it?"
"Your Majesty, after receiving the news, my subordinates have mobilized two eighth-level magic beasts to investigate the scene, but no aura of high-level magic beasts was found.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer is a ninth-level monster that can hide its aura. If that's the case, we can only investigate clearly by asking His Majesty to mobilize Kuyata and Chi Yan! "
"Forget it, Chi Yan is still practicing in Agula Mountain. Kuyatta will definitely not want to do such a small thing. Let's discuss this matter again!"
Ludy III was also helpless. Chi Yan, who took orders from Kanas, was not here.
Kuyatta serves the empire through an equal contract, and it cannot be called upon unless there is a large-scale war.
"Your Majesty, I have some opinions." Ludi III turned around and saw that it was Marshal Macori, who along with Left Prime Minister Gremin was known as both the civil and military power of the empire, "Old Marshal, what do you think?"
"It should be impossible for Marquis Fradino to be stabbed by a high-level monster. Now the main battle monsters in various countries are under the strict surveillance of the intelligence bureau, and most of them are huge.
Once you sneak into Yanjing, there is no way there will be no trace at all. As for the ninth-level monsters that can transform into the Chengren type, there are only six people in total who take orders from all the countries in the mainland. Among them, only Anka from the Kingdom of Elson and Chiyan from our country have masters. Elson and our country have always had a master demon pet. If you are friendly, you will not risk being attacked by the imperial cavalry to assassinate Marquis Fradino.
The remaining four, like Kuyata, were conquered through contracts, and it is impossible for them to do such things as assassinations.
Therefore, the veteran believes that this incident may have been caused by the enemy's bribery of elven masters.
At present, our country's biggest enemies are the Lacey Empire in the south and the eastern island country Tianhai, and perhaps the biggest enemy is the Lacey Empire.
Although Marquis Fradino only served his country for three months, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Especially since he cured the war horse, it was a credit to Caesar.
But it also indirectly threatens Reis. After all, our country's cavalry poses the greatest threat to the Reis Empire, and since Tianhai Kingdom and our country are across the sea, there is no need to be wary of our country's cavalry. Therefore, this incident is most likely planned by Reis in order to weaken our country's strength! "
Reis! Ludy III gritted his teeth and read the name!
"Well, what the old marshal said makes sense, Damar, what do you think?" Ludy III suddenly felt that Damar was being ignored, and turned to the lovely Minister of Magic.
At this time, Damar was already drowsy by the analysis of his colleagues. He didn't hear what they said clearly. He just listened in a daze, as if the Reis Empire had angered His Majesty again. However, after spending such a long time with Chu Tian, Damar still learned a little bit about Chu Tian.
Repeatedly reciting the teachings of being an official taught by Chu Tian in his heart, Damar stood solemnly, his face was serious and slightly indignant, and he said righteously:
"I agree with you adults! The Reis Empire is so ambitious and determined to destroy me that it dares to offend His Majesty Long Yan.
But despite the mere itching of scabies, I am willing to carry a brigade of troops to retrieve the head of Tyron, Emperor of Rais, and present it to Your Majesty without using His Majesty's might! "
Sonorous and powerful words speak volumes! It was as if they had never known the Minister of Magic in front of them, and the other four people were all dumbfounded. Is this still the confused Damar?
Seeing the shocked look of the emperor and his colleagues, Damar secretly smiled in his heart: The way of being an official taught by Vladino really works!
First, colleagues who are smarter than you are always right. Even if you don't understand what they say, you must agree!
Second, Your Majesty is always wise and mighty, and His Majesty's enemies are always despicable and shameless. We should never forget to praise Your Majesty, let alone curse our enemies!
Third, impossible and important tasks must be done quickly!
Anyway, His Majesty will not really let himself go to the battlefield!
Ludy III was the first to wake up and glanced at Damar strangely: "My beloved, your loyalty is commendable, but this matter involves many things, and I can't let you go to the battlefield for the time being."
Haha, praise Marquis Fradino, he even guessed His Majesty the Emperor's reaction correctly.
