Chapter 398 Exposure
When Rees walked to the nearest town, the city gates here had already begun to quit smoking. A large number of soldiers stood at the city gates, interrogating the civilians entering and leaving. Those who were suspected would be forcibly dragged away and escorted aside. Looking carefully, more than ten suspects were dragged out beside the city gate.

Looking at all this, Reese's heart tightened. Fortunately, he found a small stream to wash himself before coming, otherwise he could have been taken away without any questioning at all, with his gray face and blood stains on his body.

Approaching the city gate, Reese joined the line waiting for interrogation, and watched the civilians in front of him being dragged one by one to ask their names, where they came from, and their purpose. His mind couldn't help running at high speed, thinking about his rhetoric for a while.

Soon, it was Reese's turn in the team. Looking at the soldier who showed his big rotten teeth fiercely at him, Reese showed a calm look and stated the rhetoric he had prepared before. His rhetoric was almost impeccable, and his body As a qualified assassin produced by the system, before performing a mission, he will keep the customs and customs of the target country in mind in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

After some questioning, Rees was still allowed to go, but he still had to pay a small price—the soldier who was interrogated extorted a few silver coins. Although this amount of money was nothing to him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

You wait, I will give you a little gift when I leave.He thought bitterly in his heart.

After entering the town, Rees looked at the muddy street, where disgusting filth could be seen everywhere. He frowned slightly, and then scanned the shops on both sides of the street. The shop was attractive, he thought for a while, then walked in.

As soon as he walked to the door of the hotel, a strong smell of alcohol hit his nostrils, accompanied by the shouting of a drunkard and the scream of a woman who was engaged in a profession you know. When he walked in again, the strong smell of alcohol hit his nose. It was mixed with the smell of sweat, the aroma of food, and various other smells. These smells blended together and rushed into Reese's nasal cavity, making him feel dizzy all of a sudden.

"Oh damn, this smell is so nostalgic." He shook his head and muttered in a low voice, and at this moment, a girl twisted her waist and walked towards him, and she naturally leaned against him On his body, Reese only felt a warm body leaning against his arms. He was about to take out the dagger hidden in his arms, but the next second, the girl's words stopped him.

"Oh, sir, I've smelled the money in your arms since you first walked in, and I know that your place must be ready to move." She said, reaching out to stroke Reese's bearded cheek, " How about you, don't you think about resting here for the night?"

After she finished speaking, a seductive look appeared in the corner of her eyes.

"Uh..." Reese hesitated for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, so he deliberately pretended to be very interested, hooked the girl's chin with one hand, and said frivolously: "That's exactly what I mean, my giant The python has not returned to the forest for a long time, and I believe it must be looking forward to it."

"Then let's go." The girl said, straightened up and left Reese's arms, and at the same time took his arm, leading him upstairs. When passing by the counter, she and the boss with a big belly looked into each other's eyes. After a while, the latter showed a smile that you know, and watched them go up the wooden ladder.

The floor on the second floor of this tavern is paved with wooden boards, which looks like it has been around for a long time. When walking on it, it will make a toothache sound. I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will step on the air and fall heavily.The girl holding Reese's arm seemed to see through his worries, smiled slightly, and said, "Sir, as far as I know, this tavern has a history of 28 years, and there has never been any accident."

Hearing this, the worry in Reese's heart dissipated a lot. He glanced at the girl beside him, sized up her bumpy figure, and changed the subject: "I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Barbara, sir, please remember my name, I don't want you to suddenly call other women's names when I am happy for a while." The girl said, gave him a wink, and then Stopping in front of a tightly closed room, she skillfully took out a copper key, opened the door, and led Rees in.

The decoration in this room is very simple, with only a double bed, a table and two chairs. After the girl calling herself Barbara asked Reese to sit on the bed, she also sat next to him and took off her clothes. , but Reese was not in a hurry. He stopped Barbara's movements. Under the puzzled eyes of the other party, he organized his words and said: "Before doing things, I have some things I want to ask you about."

"what?"

"When I first arrived, I found that the level of security here was very high. Even entry and exit required strict inspections. What happened?"

"Uh..." Hearing Reese ask such a question, Barbara didn't answer right away. She looked like she was thinking. Putting the silver coin in Barbara's hand, seeing this, Barbara put the silver coin away and said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but listening to the conversations of the guests in the tavern, it seems that Isinda's His Majesty the King was assassinated last night, in order to catch the assassin, the whole country is under martial law."

"National martial law..." Reese was startled. Although the Kingdom of Milanas is not big, with only one city, a town and a few villages, if it is really a nationwide martial law, he may have to spend a lot of effort to go back.

Seeing Reese's thoughtful look, Barbara asked doubtfully: "What's wrong, dear, you seem troubled?"

Barbara's words brought Reese back to his senses in an instant. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, dear, let's do what we like."

After the words fell, he directly threw Barbara down, only to hear a female scream, and then there was a movement that could omit thousands of words.

……

A few hours later, Rees sat on the bed contentedly, arranging his clothes, while Barbara was lying on the bed, with a quilt covering her body, so she couldn't see the scene below. Back view, blurred eyes, said: "Honey, where are you going?"

"I have something to do. I am very satisfied with your service. The money is yours." Reese said while throwing a money bag containing silver coins on the quilt covered by Barbara, then got up, Push the door and go out.

But he didn't see it. After he walked out of the room, Barbara's dispirited appearance disappeared instantly. She put the money bag aside, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, changed clothes as quickly as possible, and rushed After leaving the room, when she reached the first floor, Reese had already disappeared. She rushed to the counter and asked the boss with an anxious look, "Where's the man I was with just now? Where did he go?"

"He, he just walked out of the door. What's wrong, Barbara, does he owe you money for prostitution?" the pot-bellied boss said jokingly while placing the wine glass.

"No, damn it, I suspect he is the assassin who assassinated the king!"

"What?!" The boss was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground because of extreme shock. He opened his eyes wide, stared at Barbara, and warned: "Barbara, don't talk nonsense, if you are wronged You are going to be arrested by the law enforcement team!"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Barbara was so anxious that sweat broke out on her face - it was a cold late autumn! "He asked me about the assassination of the king. This is not the most important thing. What is more important is that I saw a pair of bloody letters and a dagger in his belongings. Even if he is not an assassin, he must be What a villain."

Hearing this, the boss with a big belly also felt that the situation was a bit serious, so he called his assistant to help him look after the store, and then ran out of the hotel with Barbara, rushed up when he saw a passing patrol team, and called the police to them.

　emmmmm I thought 391 was swallowed, but it turned out to be sent to the fourth volume, and I stupidly asked the responsible editor, shame on me
