Chapter 151 Hikijaide Cave
"It's the Baron de Fendi!"
After entering Dean's room, Huck immediately said impatiently. 【First release】
"Baron Defendi? Uh... came to look for Churd Defendi?"
Dean was taken aback, but then he was relieved - he hadn't forgotten that Chuld Defendi and Baron Defendi were uncles and nephews on the surface, but in fact they were father and son.
"Well, by the way, I also participated in this 'Knight Baptism' - Baron Defendi, Baron Janel, Baron Jando, and Miss Lily were invited to participate as guests. There is no problem with the others, But that fellow Defendi participated in your 'baptism of knights', Commander..."
Huck nodded, and there was a hint of worry in his next words.
"If it's only aimed at me, I think it's a good thing! I'm worried about other people..." Dean couldn't help shrugging at his deputy's worries, and then said very seriously: "You We will make arrangements to add a group of patrolling people in addition to the training people, and outside Miss Lily's room, there must be two groups of light and dark at any time!"
"yes!"
Facing Dean who gave such a solemn order, Huck felt something in his heart—although he didn't quite believe that Baron Defendi would be so bold as to do something that directly hurt the Baron's lady, but if it really happened...
Thinking of the possible consequences, our deputy head could no longer stay in the room with peace of mind. After reporting to Dean, he hurriedly left the room to rearrange the manpower on duty.
"Erli Defendi..."
Dean muttered under his breath.
As for killing intent and killing intent, Dean, who used to be an assassin, naturally couldn't be more sensitive.
When he was standing on the playground before. That kind of feeling like a light on your back. It is enough to explain that Erli Defendi's hatred for him. Then in his observation, the baron de Fendi's hatred was not only for him - the lady of the baron's family was also among them; after all, the other party's eyes were on him and the lady of the baron's family scan.
As for why?
Apart from the original enmity with Tyreland, it was naturally because of Chuld Defendi's disappearance.
Although Dean thought he had done it seamlessly,
But this does not prevent others from expressing their anger - it seems that Baron Defendi doesn't care about any evidence, and the other party will only identify the murderer according to his own ideas. Or a potential murderer.
Then... kill them all.
Undoubtedly, such an opponent must be killed in the cradle.
However, the identity of the other party made Dean care a little bit, and he had to make a good plan.
Of course, compared to Baron Defendi, he has more important things——
Draw Mader out and kill him!
Completely took over Gao Sai's intelligence network in the entire county of Vauban.
For Dean, this is the first thing to accomplish.
after all. Unlike his opponents like Defendi, whose territory is in County Vauban, Mader has already revealed his identity. There is a real possibility of disappearing at any time.
And it is definitely not an easy task to find a spy who has disappeared, especially under the premise of limited time.
Therefore, Dean must find the other party before the other party disappears in the true sense.
And this is not difficult for Dean.
...
The day passed again, and when night enveloped Vauban County, the entire city of Vauban entered a state of curfew—because of the attack on Fort Vauban by thieves a few days ago, the curfew of Vauban City was moved forward by three days. Hour.
And this is naturally not a small loss for the shops in the lower city.
Therefore, people scolded those hateful thieves one after another.
So does Zimo.
As a middle-aged man, his figure is already fat, but his ruddy complexion shows that he is very healthy, and his angry cursing voice naturally attracts the attention of surrounding shop owners. When shop owners looked at him, he would show a wry smile just right, and after looking at each other with the same expression, he continued to clean up the shop helplessly.
Everything is no different from ordinary shop owners.
"Keep vigil at night, if something is wrong, just yell to attract the patrolling guards, you know?"
Before Zimo left his shop, he gave such instructions to the two guys who lived in the shop at night.
Then, he waved to several shopkeepers who were doing the same thing around him, and after saying goodbye, he boarded his carriage and left the lower city.
Every owner who has a shop in the lower city will not really live in the lower city.
Not only do they have a carriage, but they also have a residence in the upper city.
In fact, there are three or four guards dressed as buddies. Of course, because of their status, these guards can only be regarded as buddies.
Like those two left behind in Zimo's shop.
After all, although they are wealthy businessmen, they are not nobles who can enjoy various privileges.
It seems that the carriage made by Zimo now is also the narrowest and slender civilian carriage that can only drive a single horse, and the spacious and comfortable noble carriage with a complete carriage. , compared with a single carriage for travel, it is nothing more than a relatively complete shed.
However, the existence of this shed can properly cover most of the situation on the carriage——
At least, Zimo didn't notice anything unusual.
And when he opened the car door, facing a hand crossbow aimed at the center of his eyebrows, this man with dual identities as a shop owner and a spy stepped into the carriage very cooperatively.
Because, in addition to the hand crossbow, he also saw a gold coin with the head of the King of Conquerors on it.
As the gold coins shone, the head of the King of Conquerors was extremely clear, showing that he was different from ordinary Kimptons.
Perhaps it is difficult for ordinary people to find.
But...to some trained minds, it's all too obvious.
"grown ups!"
After getting on the carriage, Zimo called the other side and passed himself strictly. Someone who even hides his eyes under the hood.
And after looking instinctively. Zimo gave up his discernment. Because, even the hand holding the crossbow was wearing leather gloves. After covering the skin, he couldn't even distinguish between men and women.
"Let your coachman go on the old road, business as usual!"
Dean lowered his voice and said gloomyly.
"Yes, my lord!"
Zimo had no objection. So he ordered his coachman.
Roll, roll...
With a crackling sound of the whip, the wooden axle was crushed on the gravel path, and the carriage drove towards the residence in the upper town of Zimo.
"Zimo, do you know where Silver Swan is?"
Dean asked in a very direct tone.
"Master, you and Lord Yinhu are both my superiors..."
Zimo smiled wryly.
"Really? Then, are you willing to continue to serve a boss who treats you as an abandoned son, and give you loyalty?"
Dean's gloomy tone was full of sarcasm. Zimo, who was sitting opposite Dean, changed his expression. Immediately, that wry smile quickly subsided.
"My lord, you already know everything, don't you?"
There was a hint of coldness in Zimo's tone, and his appearance was obviously more in line with the identity of a spy.
"No, I don't know much except that you were summoned by Yinhu that night and treated as an abandoned child!"
Dean shook his head.
And Zimo in front of him is naturally the businessman that Dean saw that night and was summoned by Mader—as for how to find him, the lower city of Vauban is not really big for Dean. Moreover, there is only one street where merchants gather; therefore, it is not difficult to find each other.
"This may be a trap for you!"
Zimo retorted coldly.
"If Yinhu's identity has not been exposed, this may be a trap aimed at me, but now...even if it is a trap aimed at me, we have a new choice-are you willing to follow Yinhu, and in the end, be regarded as an abandoned child? Throw it out, so as to eliminate the anger of the Marquis, or are you willing to follow me and hand over Yinhu's body to satisfy the Marquis?"
Dean slowly gave the opponent two choices.
And the trap in the opponent's mouth?
Dean would never deny that this was a trap for the other party to 'lead' him to appear.
After all, what Mader did before was too obvious, and he summoned the businessman in front of him almost openly.
However, with the sudden change of the situation—the seemingly perfect and absolutely successful plan of the 'Brotherhood' and Yetil, after an unexpected failure, there was a loophole in Mader's confident arrangement, and the original 'bait' function Still there, but it has become mutual.
As much for Dean as it is for Mader.
As for, who is it for?
Naturally, the will of the 'bait' itself must be considered.
And some necessary factors will affect the will of this 'bait' itself——
"Are you worried about those two subordinates of Yinhu?"
Dean looked at the silent counterpart with eyes hidden in the shadows, and asked directly.
"certainly!"
Zimo replied in the affirmative.
Neither side said who the two subordinates were, but they knew in their hearts that they were the two great knights beside Mader.
"Maybe I can show the forces around me... You just need to provide an address!"
Dean's voice began to draw slowly, and his eyes hidden in the shadows stared at the other person without blinking, which made Zimo's pressure begin to multiply.
In the end, this Zemo seemed to give up and raised his hands in surrender——
"Okay, okay, my lord, you will get an address—but I won't promise you anything, and there may still be a trap... But, you need to keep me safe, and I don't want to be robbed by Lord Yinhu. Assassinated by subordinates, I don't want to be hanged in front of the gate of the Marquis of Vauban!"
The cold expression on Zimo's face did not change, but his speech speed accelerated.
"You need to show your worth!"
Dean didn't give any affirmative answer, just said like this.
