Chapter 453
2014-08-16
The next day, dawn.The sun has not yet risen, it should have been the time when the woman got up early to work on the family's meals. But in the Advanced Hotel, the nobles also got up early for activities.
Last night's chaos was short-lived, but it still had an impact. Everyone's condition is not very good now, rubbing red eyes, yawning, and looking tired. Such spirits should not have gotten up so early, but now they have a reason to do so...
At this time, a middle-aged brawny man in armor returned from the hotel lobby and encountered a noble bowing Salute, and greet the cavalry. After entering the attic, his face darkened slightly, he turned straight to the right, then stopped in front of a door, knocked twice, and pushed in.
"My lord, the negotiator of the Grey Cloth Armed Force has arrived at the door, do you need to go over?"
Inside the room, Alex sat quietly at the table, tapping his fingers on his forehead, With a contemplative look on his face, it is completely different from the rude and arrogant temperament that he usually shows. Wen Yan did not answer, but raised his head and asked an irrelevant question: "Have you not come back yet?"
The question was abrupt, but the middle-aged brawny man who guarded the role naturally knew what it meant, shock the head: "No." After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry, my lord, although Steward is a little weak, he has always been cautious in his work, and he has brought eight family dead men, so he will be fine. Well, I just graduated from When I came back from outside, I saw Philip, and he looked flustered and nervous... Then Thief must have succeeded. So Steward should be dealing with the funeral now, and he will be back soon."
"Well "..." After a while, Alex nodded agreed with this inference, then got up and rubbed his palms, saying, "You said that the Grey Cloth Armed Force has already arrived? So early?"
The middle-aged brawny man nodded, with a smile of taking pleasure in other people's misfortune on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, to be precise, I sent someone to send the post half an hour ago, and I just came here. Hehe, there is a lot of fun to watch."
Alix laughed and shook his head: "Ha, these ignorant old moths... well, they are a little clever."
They were naturally talking about yesterday. Except for Jack, Several Thiefs, employed by traditional nobles, also sneak in. However, after Alex and the others knew about this, they naturally did not allow the plan to change, so last night those Thiefs were just approaching the attic when they were caught by the middle-aged brawny man who was there.
The next thing is interesting. In the short battle, those exposed Thiefs were all killed by intentional or unintentional cavalry. Immediately, someone came forward and identified that these Thiefs seemed to have appeared in the negotiating team of the Grey Cloth Armed Force...
There is no doubt that this is of course a false accusation, but that is all the traditional nobles need. It can be said that they played this hand very beautifully. Thief is successful, then the seal is in hand, everything is fine. If Thief fails, then kill a witness to silence them and push Grey Cloth Armed Force without any psychological pressure.
"But why did these Grey Cloth Armed Force people come so early... Forget it, let's go and have a look." After thinking about it, Alex shook the head, walked to the door, and paused. Throws a key to the middle-aged brawny man, "You go with me, um, you come out again in half an hour. If Steward hasn't come back by then, you can take someone to that pub."
"Yes!" The middle-aged brawny man subconsciously glanced at a certain place in the house, bowed slightly, then opened the wooden door and let Alex walk out.
This negotiation was initiated by Grey Cloth Armed Force, and it was very hasty, so the nobles were already at the entrance of the hotel at this time, and the attic seemed very quiet.
As soon as he got out of the attic, Alex eyebrow raised, he saw a beautiful woman walking towards her, opening her mouth and laughing: "Ha, it turned out to be Miss Norris. Well, Philip is not in there."
For some reason, Alex seemed to see a rather strange look on this beautiful woman's face, but when he looked closely, he was full of anxiety.
"Oh...seen Sir Alex! I'm back for something."
Stamp? But let her find it, it seems that Philip is really in a hurry... Alexis is more stable in his heart, but he is still puzzled on the surface: "Looking for something? Let's listen to it and see if I have seen it."
"Yes, why didn't I expect ... Well, it's a book called "The Self-Cultivation of an Actor", Sir, have you seen it?"
"Uh... what, what kind of training?"
...
Watching the back of the woman hurriedly running into the attic, Alex scratched his hair, turned his head and asked, "No Seal?" The middle-aged brawny man shrugged, of course he didn't know what was going on.
The unfathomable mystery shook their heads and the two walked to the front hall.
In this way, they naturally did not see that the woman behind her did not return to the room on the second floor after entering the attic. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at them, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he turned straight to the right side of the first floor.
Needless to say, this is Tang En of course.
What a good actor... He praised Alex, Tang En smacked his lips, then looked at the door number, and finally stopped in front of a door, that was Alex's room.
Looking left and right, the corridor was empty and silent. Get close, flip your hand to reveal the dagger, and slowly slide down the crack of the door.
Tang En is Assassin, not Thief. Although the Lock-Picking technique is also available, it is not unprofessional, and it is still faster to crack it by brute force. After all, he is not here to steal something...
come on, a light sound, the door inside The lock is broken directly. Tang En raised the corner of his mouth, pushed the door in, and then... dumbfounded!
Tang En had the guts to come in directly. Naturally, he was sure that there was no one in the room, and that was exactly the case, but now the window facing the door was wide open, and a person dressed as a waiter was picking up. Bending down by the window edge, ready to turn in, there are still many people behind him...
Tang En and the waiter met eyes at the first time, and their bodies froze, looking at each other in Dismay, two eyes on one eye, quite quiet and strange.
"What's the matter, old Bao... eh?" asked softly, and then another head popped up from under the window.
Breaking the silence in the arena, Tang En responded in the same way as the waiter, instantly reaching into his arms and pulling out his crossbow to face him. However, perhaps because of scruples, the crossbow arrow was not fired immediately.
"hehe..." He chuckled a few times, and after seeing the waiter's face clearly, Tang En waved his hand, put away his crossbow first, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Good morning, Your Excellency Bowen's. En , as the police chief, it's not good to slip through the door and open the window."
That's right, the waiter on the opposite side, whose face was covered by his hair, with only one right eye exposed, was Bowen's. But he didn't put down the crossbow now, still holding it cautiously, frowned: "Who are you?"
"Norris?" En's looks, subconsciously said.
"Oh? Bernie's cavalry chief is also there." Tang En glanced, lay bare the truth with one remark the identity of the other party.
Bowen's and Bernie's hearts sank at the same time. They both have Camouflage on their faces. Even if they are seen through, they will not recognize their identities. There is only one explanation for this, that is, the other party has long known. their existence.
"You two don't need to think too much, I wanted to communicate with you before..." After a little pondering, he returned to his normal voice, Tang En turned his hand and showed the pitted dagger and shook it, "After all, we worked together before. Once, it's old acquaintance."
"It's you!"
Bowen and Bernie exclaimed at the same time, then looked at each other in dismay, their faces full of astonishment.
……
Knowing the details of each other, although it can't shorten the distance between each other, at least it avoids the situation of opening the fight immediately.
Greeting to the back, Bowens and Bernie rolled into the house.
Tang En put away the crossbow dagger, closed the door with his backhand, and said first, "It seems that our goals are the same. Well, why did you enter Alex's room?"
" Why didn't you say it first." Bowen was used to being aggressive, and naturally didn't want to be questioned by a mole.
Tang En spread his hands and said, "Exchange information! I'm sure I know more than you, so it's up to you to talk first."
"Oh?" Bowen scorned He glanced at Tang En, then pointed his finger around the room, "If I say there are other people in this room, would you believe it?"
"Trust!" Tang En raised his eyebrows, Lips curled slightly, "And I also know where they are hiding, where is the main entrance of the mechanism... um, want to know?"
Bowen opened his mouth and looked slightly startled. Bernie on the side stepped forward without the slightest hesitation and stretched out his fist: "Deal!"
Fist met, "Deal!"
…………
Meanwhile, at the door of the hotel.
"You still dare to come!" Simpson's old face flushed and roared angrily, and then he was about to rush up and fight for his life. Of course, he was stopped by a few nobles before he took a few steps, kicking and kicking, "Don't stop me... The nobles dare to kill, you are all dead... Ronald, you dare to negotiate? Dare to talk. We'll see you at the Imperial Court when we go back, don't stop me..."
Under the stairs in front of the door, Joah and several secret agency executives looked towards this side coldly, frowning slightly, "Why don't I dare to come here? ?"
"Okay, brave enough, then do you dare to admit what you have done?"
There are traps in these vague words, and the traditional aristocrats are planning to in a spurt of energy to get the other party to admit it, but after Joah responded, he ignored it and looked at Ronald, "Where is the negotiation place?"
So hasty Time is not easy to find a place. After a pause, Ronald waved his hand and made an inviting gesture: "The hotel is in the partial hall, please!"
In fact, Ronald and the others had doubts in their hearts , it's not what happened last night, their IQ isn't that weak yet. Through Philip, they have actually been on the phone with Joah. Although most of them are building a relationship of trust, the negotiations are indeed progressing slowly. For this way, they are very satisfied. But the sudden arrival of Joah this morning came without any notice, which naturally made them a little puzzled.
"Why didn't you answer, didn't you say you dared...Is it a guilty conscience, I'll tell you..." Whether it was Ronald and the others, or Joah, they ignored it and went straight into the lobby of the hotel without hearing it.
And as soon as they disappeared, the yelling stopped here. Simpson stopped his crazy behavior, tidied up his clothes, and twitched his lips disdainfully: "hmph, but a few pariahs, want to fight with me... Let's go to the side hall, I want to see how their negotiation goes on. "
Since it was decided that those Thiefs belonged to the Grey Cloth Armed Force, it was natural to take the blame. And even if there is no evidence, you must pose as a victim and take the commanding heights of speech first. These nobles may not be good at playing different things, but Dou Xinyan is a first-class level...
