Chapter 363 12 Ubiquitous Shadows
Naked, Han Shuo looked down at Helen, who was staring at him blankly, and grinned a bright sunny smile. Step into the bath and stir the water. With a "crash", he began to wash away the blood on his body.
When the sound of "crashing" water sounded. Helen just woke up from the trance and cursed in her heart for her weak willpower. Looking at Han Shuo's broad and fit back exposed to him, he shook his head as if to dispel the shadow lingering in his mind. Yan Ran smiled and said softly: "Okay, you can wash first, I'll go out and wait for you."
"Hehe, I thought you would wash with me. If you come down, I promise I won't do anything to you. How?" Han Shuo turned around and laughed brightly. Blinking narrowly, he extended an invitation to Helen.
Helen blushed as if drunk, and thought about it seriously. Then she said with a charming smile: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, and I will take the initiative to throw myself into your arms. Hehe. Alright. You wash it well, and I'll come back after you wash it!"
Han Shuo was dumbfounded, but these words undoubtedly affirmed Han Shuo's charm, so Han Shuo laughed and said happily, "That's good. I'll wait for the day when you really let go of your reserve!"
Helen giggled coquettishly, and the sky had been clouded in her heart for several months. It was as if the dark clouds had been pushed away to reveal a rainbow, and he felt surprisingly better for a while, and left amidst a string of silver bell-like laughter.
After Helen left, Han Shuo leisurely cleaned the blood on his body in the bathtub, and then changed Helen to come in to take a bath again.
When Helen changed into a loose bathrobe and took a seat in the living room. Han Shuo was crossing his legs. While drinking a glass of fine wine. While reading the thick undead magic book. Seeing Helen's beautiful face, he first smiled and praised her beauty, and when a smile appeared on the corner of Helen's mouth, he coughed lightly, and said to Helen: "Your Dukedom of Hieron's strength should be stronger after this civil strife. The weakest side of the Seven Duchies, it turns out that Benedict-: Sackville still has an alliance with you. Now, instead, he has secretly intervened in your state affairs. But Karoo’s rebellion against you must have included Benedict-: Sa Keweier's contribution. Now we must use the fastest speed to completely quell the civil strife. To avoid any bad situation from happening again."
Seeing that Han Shuo was talking about business, Helen frowned and sighed softly, "Even without this civil strife, our Duchy of Hillen is the weakest of the seven duchies. Our Duchy of Hillen has limited resources and lacks ores. Compared with other duchies, food is somewhat insufficient.
Over the years, we have been using our war horses and the Nathan Principality in exchange for food, and we have exchanged war equipment from other principalities or the more distant Bart Merchant Alliance. Our national strength is not rich enough. In addition, there are often civil strife. This is even worse, so when you blackmailed me for 600,000 gold coins. I can't afford even a grand duke. "
It seemed to recall Han Shuo's blackmailing of her. At the end of the conversation, Helen gave Han Shuo a hard look.
He snorted angrily.
Han Shuo laughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said: "Actually, if you hadn't turned against the Lancelot Empire and turned Brettle City into a hunting ground, you would plunder it back and forth. The merchants of the Lancelot Empire can provide it to you. The Lancelot Empire does not have such warhorses for the food and weapons needed. Selling the sturdy warhorses of your principality to the Lancelot Empire will definitely earn considerable profits.
It's a pity, because the city of Brettle was looted and killed by you before, it was too miserable. Even those greedy businessmen dare not come here easily. To those businessmen, your seven principalities are like scourges. Naturally, they dare not trade with you. This has caused some resources in your country to be unable to obtain corresponding rewards. . "
"Huh. This is actually what you Lancelot Empire asked for. It wasn't because your Lancelot Empire wanted to conquer our Seven Principalities. If you hadn't entered the border of our Seven Kingdoms by burning, killing and looting all the way, you would have In the seven duchies who are fighting with each other, an agreement will not be reached so quickly. We will join forces to deal with your Lancelot Empire regardless." Helen's pretty face was angry, as if she remembered the soldiers of the Lancelot Empire who were like scourges back then to come.
The relationship between countries can only be conquered and conquered. The king of each country will use all means to expand its territory, and so is the Lancelot Empire and the Cassie Empire. Even the Seven Duchies are the same. Otherwise why would they fight each other endlessly?
There will never be a public opinion on who is right and wrong in this regard. Han Shuo said this to Helen, and smiled wryly: "The previous things have nothing to do with us. With our current relationship, we can carry out some smuggling activities in private. Do you have someone you can trust?"
"Of course. My family's cronies can be completely trusted. No matter what decision I make, they will support me." Helen said proudly.
nodded. Han Shuo said: "Very good. How about it. I can just use some war equipment from the Lancelot Empire. In exchange for your horses from the Principality of Hieron, um, there is no problem with food, which is beneficial to both of us."
Tell Han Shuo this. Helen smiled and agreed: "The war horses that we raise in the Principality of Hillen are famous far and wide. How much gold coins do you plan to buy?"
"This matter should be discussed by the people below. All we need to do is to finalize the overall situation." Han Shuo glanced at Helen who was giggling. He smiled and said: "Don't try to use some beauty tricks to seduce me. There are suitable talents in Brettle City to discuss with your subordinates. I will arrange this, and the two of us should not discuss it exactly. To avoid injury emotion!"
Han Shuo said so. Helen let out a "pooh". She blushed and said, "Who has any relationship with you, you treacherous and petty man. I won't let me take any advantage."
"Okay. Okay. I'll go out tonight, and you should be careful. Now that the immediate and collateral relatives of the Kelu family have all been killed, you'd better take precautions here. I think you will be very busy starting tomorrow. .Now is not the right time for the two of us to talk about love." Han Shuo said to Helen.
"You. You wiped out all the lines of the Kekalu family?" Helen was startled before she realized it. He stared at Han Shuo in horror.
"Well. None of the relatives who are qualified to succeed him as Earl, including his loyal lackeys, escaped the fate of death. Don't worry, the whole Seagate City will be in chaos when the dawn dawns. You'd better Take this opportunity to dispose of the dead body of Kokalu. Also, make your place look like it was assassinated. Finally, capture a few people and make it look like an assassin from Nathan Principality." Han Shuo smiled at Helen.
"Good kill, good kill!" Helen first shouted in a pleasant cold voice. Only then did he smile sweetly, with a sinister gleam in his eyes. Said: "Don't worry. I am still very good at this kind of thing. By this time tomorrow, Seagate City should be within my grasp. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Hehe. I like this kind of self-confidence in you. Well, I'll leave for a while. You'd better call Huofeng back first to protect your own safety." Han Shuo warned Helen. Then he left here.
The Dark Mantle of the Lancelot Empire. Secret agents are everywhere. After Han Shuo arrived in Brettle City, the dark stronghold in Brettle City gradually became stronger, and Candida personally arranged for some members to sneak into Brettle City. They were then arranged by Dick in the Seven Principalities respectively.
When Han Shuo advanced to the Second Day Messenger, he used his privileges to expand the number of personnel in the dark, and made Jack secretly allocate 100,000 gold coins as funds for the activities of those who sneaked into the Seven Principalities. With enough gold coins, those people have a secret base in any city of the Seven Principalities. Gradually they all scaled up.
As the city lord of Brettle City. Han Shuo, who is also the second-day messenger of the Dark Mantle, can use special methods to contact the members of the Dark Mantle as long as he is in any big city in the Seven Principalities. through these members. Han Shuo was able to know the latest news of the city. Use them to make direct contact with Brettle City.
That night before Han Shuo assassinated Kokalu, he left a message in Seagate City. After leaving Helen's place, Han Shuo went straight to that area. When Han Shuo walked onto the street, he suddenly found that the entire Seagate City was in chaos. Teams of bodyguards wore irregular armor. With a look of panic on his face, he started searching from house to house.
Suddenly, Seagate City was shrouded in the sound of war horses and the panic of the city residents. Seeing this happening, Han Shuo immediately understood that someone must have discovered the tragedy inside Kekalu Castle, otherwise the entire Seagate City would not be in chaos. All the city gates are closed. No one is allowed to leave Seagate City without permission, and several Seagate City knight captains looked terrified. While yelling loudly to protect the city gate, he walked out of Kekaludi Castle. Go straight to the manor where Helen stayed.
These people are only members of the fringes of the Kokaroo small group. They may not know that Kalu has long had a rebellious heart. Now when I saw the shocking murder in Kekaludi Castle, the first thing that came to my mind was the invasion of a large army from the enemy country. On one side, soldiers were arranged to protect the city gate. While heading straight to the real grand duke of the Principality of Hillen.
Among these people are the pawns that Helen arranged earlier. Before Han Shuo entered Seagate City, he already understood that the power in Kekalu's hands was swept away by Han Shuo. Those generals who were not qualified to be in charge of the seagate soldiers suddenly became the ones with the highest positions. As a matter of course, he became the temporary commander.
When the entire Seagate City was shaking in chaos, Han Shuo quietly arrived at the farthest and dirtiest block from the Land of Right and Wrong, an old man with a flustered expression beside a courtyard. Looking around and waiting. The news of the big changes in Seagate City has not yet spread here, but there are still city guards coming here. The old man looks flustered, and he may have already mentioned the news.
After Han Shuo suddenly stood in front of him. The old man was obviously taken aback. He took a few steps back in a hurry, and when he found a sign on Han Shuo's palm lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief and saluted respectfully, "I've seen you, my lord!"
"Let's go. Take me to another place to talk!" Han Shuo said.
Without the slightest hesitation, the old man led Han Shuo through the messy neighborhood. After about six streets. Just stopped in a small farm. There are a few thin war horses in this farm, and the smelly weeds in the stable are all over the ground.
When the old man arrived here, he went straight to a small thatched hut. After entering the thatched hut, the old man looked around through the small hole, then opened a tunnel under the bed, and let Han Shuo go in first.
Through the dark tunnel. In the end, Han Shuo came to an underground secret room with three houses, and there were four characters with different looks in it. They were either dressed as businessmen or dressed as farmers. Everyone was terrified when they saw Han Shuo appearing, and waited until Han Shuo showed the sign in his hand. Only then did they calm down one by one. Hastily bowed and said: "I have seen the messenger!"
In the dark organization. They are only responsible to the top levels within the organization. Therefore, Han Shuo's status as the city lord of Brettle City did not work. Instead, Han Shuo's status as an envoy in the second day of the dark curtain could make them obediently and obediently.
"Well, they are all our own people. You are welcome!" Han Shuo said lightly. Then he sat down in the center without politeness. At this time, the old man who asked Han Shuo to come in also came in.
"My lord, the massacre happened in Seagate City. All the members of Seagate City's lord, Marquis Kekalu, and his entire family were massacred. We just got the news. This matter will completely change the power arrangement in Seagate City." The old man said. He bowed respectfully. Hastily reported the shocking news to Han Shuo
The search spread across the entire Seagate City. It has not yet penetrated into this remote and dirty area. He received the news in advance, which made Han Shuo feel very satisfied. nodded. Han Shuo said: "I already know the news. You guys did a good job."
"My lord, Grand Duke Helen of the Principality of Hieron is currently in Seagate City. This vicious woman will definitely take the opportunity to control the power of Seagate City. Now the Kelu family has been slaughtered. I don't know if it is this woman who did the land, but according to According to our intelligence, this woman does not have such strength. It seems that it is not her..." The old man frowned and analyzed hard, as if he wanted to sort out a clue.
Han Shuo waved his hand to stop the old man from nagging. He smiled and said: "Okay. Let's not talk about this matter for now. I will write a letter and you can send someone to give it to Dick. There is no need to talk about other things."
Han Shuo said so. The old man immediately stopped his guessing. He nodded respectfully and said, "Good, my lord!"
Taking out the paper and pen, Han Shuo wrote an article in a curt and eloquent manner, then sealed it and handed it to the old man. He smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"Master Banbao. The villain's name is Delante. He is currently the person in charge of Seagate City and a three-star envoy. He has been working in the southern part of the empire before. He moved to the Seven Duchies under the order of Lord Candida." De Lante replied respectfully.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo smiled and said, "deliver this letter to Dick as soon as possible."
"Understood, my lord!" De Lante responded.
Inside the Dark Mantle Organization. Among the secret strongholds in general big cities. There are secret magic circles that are directly connected. It is possible to use mirrors to communicate directly. This technique is only mastered by Dark Curtain, and it is usually arranged by space magicians in the realm of great magisters. In the small place of Seagate City in the Seven Principalities, naturally it will not cost a lot of money to get it. Create such a magic circle to communicate with Brettle City. Therefore, it is only possible to use this ancient method to deliver messages.
After Drant carefully put away the letter. Han Shuo asked him about some other information about Seagate City. After a while, Han Shuo said, "Okay. You should do your best in Seagate City. The Empire will never forget the contributions you have made. Every one of you The missions are all recorded in the dark curtain."
Several other members of the Dark Mantle. Hearing what Han Shuo said, everyone bowed down.
"The grass and trees in Seagate City are full of soldiers now. Be careful yourself. Don't expose yourself." He warned again. Han Shuo left the secret stronghold of Seagate City. Disappeared in the night.
After leaving here. Han Shuo went to the depths of a dense forest outside Seagate City. He used the earth armor corpse to create a deep underground crypt. He fiddled with the teleportation array leading to the cemetery of death, and returned directly to the cemetery of death.
Counting the time, Han Shuo knew that the twelve mysterious demons should be refined. At this time, Han Shuo came to the Principality of Hellen alone, as long as there were those twelve mysterious demons. Han Shuo is equivalent to having twelve shadows everywhere, and the effect they can play is immeasurable.
Compared with Yuan Mo and Yin Mo, Xuan Mo not only has some magical effects. The distance from Han Shuo has also increased tenfold. As long as the twelve mysterious demons come out, they can be scattered to any corner of Seagate City. Han Shuo can pass through the twelve mysterious demons even without leaving the room. Get a panoramic view of the entire Seagate City.
