Su Xiao walked out from the main entrance of the Holy Court. At this time, he was wearing a medal on his chest, duke medal!
As soon as Su Xiao walked down the steps, the imperial soldiers on both sides of the road raised their weapons and knelt on one knee, their armor colliding with each other, full of momentum.
This kind of scene is also one of the reasons why people pursue power. No matter where they go, some people are in awe and some people kneel on the ground.
Su Xiao walked along the corridor, and Boubo Wang, Amu, and Baha followed behind him.
As soon as he reached the end of the Yong Road, a carriage was parked there, with a moon wolf emblem on the carriage, and the door was open.
"Although we hate that old guy, we also believe in his vision."
Li Lin was sitting in the carriage, this upright duke always put the overall situation first.
Lao Yinbi is not necessarily a bad person, just like Duke Li Lin, he is extremely ruthless when he does things, but most of what he does is for the people and the empire, as for the occasional selfish desires, who would have no selfish desires at all?
There is a saying in the city of Alans that without the Duke of Lilin, the empire would lose all hope.
Even more than 30% of the officials will support Duke Li Lin to become the King of the Holy Seeds. As for the remaining 70% of the imperial officials, they have already rotted.
Su Xiao got into the carriage, this time Baha glared at Amu, Amu sat beside the coachman a little aggrieved, the driver shivered and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
The carriage drove quickly to the outside of the city of Alans, pulled by two unicorns, whose speed was far beyond that of a rhinoceros.
In a maximum of 20 minutes, the carriage drove out of Yalans City, and in about half an hour, it arrived at a vineyard, which was the winery where Duke Nushi was killed.
The 'White Winery' has been surrounded by soldiers. It is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of soldiers, some small officials or wealthy businessmen, are gathering together, and some of them are already crying.
These people cry from the bottom of their hearts, not because of how deep their friendship with Duke Nushi is, but because Duke Nushi died after spending a lot of gold pounds to buy the relationship. Go bankrupt in a short period of time, and some will be removed from office.
The soldiers made way for Su Xiao's carriage to pass. As soon as the carriage passed, the soldiers gathered together again and blocked the winery layer by layer.
The carriage stopped, and as soon as Su Xiao got out of the carriage, he smelled a faint sour smell. On the grape trellis not far away, the curly stems of the vines were all dry, and the bunches of grapes were off-white.
Someone ingested the life force of plants in the nearby area in a short period of time, and transformed the life force into a hallucinogenic gas, which will have a sour smell before it completely dissipates.
Su Xiao stood in front of the grape trellis and observed for a while. Based on his combat experience, he could judge many things.
Following the gravel road of the winery, Su Xiao arrived in front of an old castle. This old castle has been weathered for some years, and the outer walls have begun to weather, showing beautiful stone patterns.
The main entrance of the castle was wide open, and inside the door lay a figure, apparently dressed as a maid.
Su Xiao stepped forward, and immediately judged that the maid was not dead, but was stunned. This style of behavior made Su Xiao immediately think that the assassin did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and was even willing to take extra risks for it. , or in other words, the forces behind her must act in this style, otherwise it will have an impact on the beliefs of the members under her command, leading to the collapse of the entire organization system.
Su Xiao's hand was pressed on the back of the maid's neck. The maid's neck bone was not damaged, and it was even in the right position. Judging from the degree of damage to the subcutaneous soft tissue, the enemy's hand was not big.
Estimated based on the size of this hand, the enemy's height is about 157-163cm, the weight does not exceed 50kg, and it is female.
Su Xiao can only judge these, and Boubo Wang stepped forward to sniff.
"Wow."
"Scent of roses?"
Su Xiao frowned. The current season in the empire is August, and roses are in full bloom from May to June. How could a female assassin put flowers and spices on her body? In other words, she touched it by accident. If it wasn't for Boubo Wang's sense of smell, the possibility of the fragrance of this flower being noticed is very small, at least with Su Xiao's sense of smell and perception, it is completely impossible to detect it.
Women, who have been in and out of places where pollen and spices are applied, and the direction of the blow is slightly deviated, most likely because of an injury to the waist, which affects the force balance of the entire body.
In Su Xiao's mind, not only did he think of a female assassin who had been injured, she hid in a brothel in the city of Arance to recuperate her injuries. Before she acted, she stained a certain prostitute with spices made of rose flowers. The female assassin was very cautious. , has dealt with the smell on his body, and even covered it with the smell of grapes. After all, this is a vineyard. Fortunately, Boubo Wang has mastered an ability called 'breath tracking', and has a strong ability to distinguish smells.
"Kukulin, don't get in our way."
Madam Moon Wolf blinked at Su Xiao, but Su Xiao didn't speak, but walked into the castle.
As soon as he entered the door of the tasting room of the ancient castle, Su Xiao smelled a strong smell of blood.
Pushing open the half-covered door of the tasting room, an extremely cruel picture appeared.
A very strong corpse was hoisted up. There were more than a dozen holes in his chest. Instead of being blown out, pieces of flesh and internal organs were dug out by some kind of sharp weapon.
This is the Duke of Nushi. His head was also dug out with a hole, and a large piece of skull was torn out.
Su Xiao stood obliquely below the corpse and observed for a while, basically restoring the battle scene.
The Duke of Angry Lion stayed here last night. This is a man who is extremely fond of wine. He wanted to have a drink this morning, but he was paralyzed by the poison in the wine and couldn't move. There were 2 assassins, a man and a woman. The man was responsible for the assassination. Women are responsible for bringing down the surrounding servants.
These two points were completed almost at the same time. From this, it can be judged that the two assassins are very familiar with the winery. In order to assassinate the Duke of Nushi, they even lurked here for several months or even longer, and obtained the most basic winery of the Duke of Nushi. trust, to facilitate the poisoning of wine.
"Duke Lilin, if I'm not mistaken, there are two assassins, a man and a woman. They are servants or laborers in the winery. They have been working in the winery for at least a few months. There won¡¯t be much contact, the men are thin, and the women have left the winery recently and are injured. If they are dead soldiers, they will still stay in the winery and wait for other dukes to arrive, that is, wait for you and me to arrive , if it is not a dead soldier, after they succeed in the assassination, there is a high probability that they will hide in"
After Su Xiao briefly explained the situation, Duke Li Lin's eyes were full of doubts.
"In this case, I will send someone to search."
Duke Li Lin replied politely, actually, he didn't think the assassin could be found so easily.
However, a few minutes later, there were bursts of roars outside the castle, which turned into a loud noise.
"It seems to be a dead man."
With a wave of Su Xiao's hand, a small piece of ceramic fragments was thrown out, the hemp rope hanging the Duke of Fury Lion broke, and the corpse fell to the ground with a plop.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and several soldiers rushed into the castle from the main entrance. They all held long weapons. Seven long weapons pierced and erected a woman's body. The woman was on the verge of death.
And on the woman's waist, there is a blood-stained bandage. This is the female assassin.
"How, maybe, why."
The female assassin murmured that she was already extremely weak. She still had three sharp cones stuck in her body, which restricted her from controlling the energy in her body. He even knew their physical signs, and what was worse, he also knew that she was injured.
The female assassin with blood on her face and gloomy eyes firmly believed that there must be an inner ghost, otherwise it would never have happened.
Li Lin and Mrs. Moon Wolf turned their eyes at the same time and looked at Su Xiao. Li Lin remained serious, but his ugly face showed how bad his mood was right now.
Thinking about it, Li Lin and Mrs. Moon Wolf had just restrained an old fox, but who knew, they released a more terrifying guy right now, and within 10 minutes of the whole process, they found out the assassin
