One Hundred Routes of Counterattack

The time soon came to Judgment Day.

On this day, there was a huge crowd of people outside this heavily guarded prison, and troops were deliberately vacated on both sides of the road to maintain order.Eight knights rode on horseback to lead the way. First, one of them held the flag of Norah and the other held the flag of the Van Buren Dynasty.This queue is not that extravagant, but it is enough to reflect the austerity of being a monarch.

The king in the carriage opened the curtain and looked out curiously.His performance was like every young master who had just seen the world, marveling at the crowd outside.Following his movements, the crowd who had already "trained" cheered.

The team was moving forward slowly and walked into a relatively narrow alley. The crowd here was extremely crowded and noisy due to the steep and narrow geographical problem. Even the balconies of the houses on both sides were crowded with people, pushing and shoving, maintaining The orderly army was inevitably scattered by the chaotic crowd.And the knights who opened the way also lengthened the team.

In a restaurant on the second floor, Zhou Tiantian and her new partner, Constein Sheen, looked down at the scene below.Don Stein is a young and handsome businessman, and because he is the illegitimate son of the bishop, although his reputation is not very good, he is indeed a man of rich knowledge, elegant conversation, and elegant manners.His grasp of the current situation was extraordinarily calm and thorough, which surprised Zhou Tiantian, and at the same time, the relationship between the two quickly became familiar.Zhou Tiantian originally wanted to befriend him, and when she found Constein funny and humorous, she naturally got along very well.

Constant stared at the scene below and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Tiantian noticed immediately.She is very nervous now, because she is too nervous, but she can't bear to sit at home waiting for the news like she did during the coup that day.So after receiving Constein's invitation, she almost couldn't wait to propose setting the date in this restaurant—because this place can clearly see the whole process.

Because of his relationship with the Holy See, Constant seemed to know the king's route back to the palace very well, and joked: "It is indeed a grand event, isn't it, no matter what your status is, you can take this opportunity to watch the great king .”

Of course, such jokes are inappropriate now.Constein frowned worriedly: "There are too many people. Under the chaos, the army and knights cannot ensure complete safety. Our young king is a little too hasty, although this sounds good, close to the people and kind , but he shouldn't have chosen to go here."

"Who said it wasn't."

Zhou Tiantian was a little apprehensive. Indeed, it was not this route at the beginning. Everyone here knows that the road is narrow. The soldiers will definitely pay more attention here. Not to mention that it is difficult for the army to move, it is difficult for even the people she arranges. near.At the beginning, she identified a few places that would be convenient for her to act, but when the king suddenly changed his focus to welcome the crowd, all of this turned into nothing.In the end, she spent a lot of money and let the construction of several places on the original route start during this period, and then quietly changed the route to this place that is not very good for everyone.

She has already made some changes to the plan. If she can't successfully take the king away, she would rather kill him.

Looking around calmly, he reconfirmed that he was fully prepared.Zhou Tiantian's eyes watched the carriage in the crowd move forward little by little, and couldn't help waiting with bated breath.

‘5……4……3……2……1！’

A commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd, which is not so rare among the crowd who often get into disputes because of pushing and shoving. Even the soldiers didn't care much because they had been on standby for a long time in fear.However, just when people thought it was just an ordinary quarrel, suddenly, next to the carriage, a few men got out, took advantage of the fact that the carriage was blocked by the crowd, broke into the carriage, and dragged the luxuriously dressed The king came down.His companions quickly put a linen cloak on the king, just like many ordinary people around him, which made the originally eye-catching king become obscured by everyone.People screamed in shock from the sudden change, but the people behind were blocked from their sight by the people in front, but they heard a louder noise than before, and they habitually pushed forward in a daze , The messy sound hinders the effective transmission of information.

The king was struggling, and he shouted desperately, hoping to attract the attention of the guards. However, although the guards wanted to save the king, it was difficult for the originally strong horse to turn around in this situation.When they dismounted and rushed to the carriage, the carriage was already empty.

"My God... this, this is unbelievable!" Before the crowd below realized what happened, Don Stein, who was sitting in the restaurant on the second floor, had already understood it. He was so surprised that he even knocked over the table The teacup on the table, "My, my God, this is definitely a premeditated kidnapping! They actually took the king hostage!"

Zhou Tiantian's dark eyes stared at a residential house on the side of the road, and she felt a little relieved because the situation was smoother than expected.Of course, on the face, she duly put on an expression that turned pale with fright, stammering to express her panic and helplessness.

Sure enough, Constein didn't suspect that the delicate girl in front of him was the mastermind behind this incident. He couldn't sit still, and suggested: "It must be a mess outside now, why don't I take you back? To be honest, it's such a big deal. I have to go back and make preparations early. God, this is simply a terrible disaster!"

Zhou Tiantian nodded in disbelief, perfectly showing the fragile side of a pampered woman.

After a short period of panic, the standard bearer in the crowd issued an order that the army, which is in charge of maintaining order but in fact ineffective, should change from passive to active and search for suspicious persons nearby, while the escort continued to deliver the holy car to its destination .At the same time, he also sent someone to report what happened here to Sitra Palace immediately.

When the messenger rushed into the council hall of Sitra Palace in a panic, he was sweating profusely, lowered his head, and trembled all over: "My lord, the king, your majesty the king..."

"What's the matter with the king?" came a very young voice.

The messenger raised his head in surprise, then his face turned pale, and then flushed strangely again: "Your Majesty the King!"

That's right, the person who asked the question was the king, Narcissus I, who sat lazily at the head of the council hall.

The messenger quickly calmed down. Although he didn't know how the king suddenly appeared in the Citra Palace, it was obviously good news. At least, they didn't have to bear the anger of "losing the king".This made him more articulate, and he poured out the words that he didn't know how to explain: "Your Majesty, the carriage we escorted the holy driver was ambushed in Rose Lane, and someone wants to take you away. Now , Lord Bannerman ordered the army to secretly search for suspicious persons near Rose Alley, while he continued to bring the convoy here."

The voice fell, and the parliament hall was terribly quiet.

The courier lowered his head, and heard the king chuckle for a long time: "Yes, you are doing well. What's your name?"

A once in a lifetime opportunity!The knight who was sent to summon the messenger with a sad face immediately realized with excitement that he had made a difference.He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, making his words less stuttering, and respectfully said: "The villain's name is Naira Matthew, Your Majesty."

"Nella Matthew, I remember this name, you step back."

The knight followed his words and stepped out of the council hall. He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and the arc of his mouth became wider and wider.

However, completely different from his excitement was the almost stagnant atmosphere in the parliament hall.All the aristocratic bureaucrats present, headed by the prime minister, realized that a big event had happened to them.

In the end, the king who still had the initiative broke the silence first: "Don't you want to say something? Look, what a dangerous experience I just had? If I didn't think the carriage was moving too slowly, I changed it temporarily." I came to Sitra Palace all the way, so maybe I am the one who is being taken away now?" His voice was slow, and there was no real emotion in it, and such a calm expression made people even more nervous .

And Cardinal Holman, who accompanied the king from the beginning to the end, once again showed his proper cultivation as a king's favorite at this time. On such a sensitive topic, he still used his calm and restrained magnetic voice, He said lightly: "God bless my king."

"God bless me? Yes, thanks to God's help this time, otherwise, I'm afraid I can only wait for you to search and search without hearing anything from you!" The king smiled angrily. When he said the last sentence, he angrily threw the case documents in his hand on the table, "Strictly investigate! Everything! The previous coup was investigated, and this incident must also be investigated! I cannot allow the majesty of the kingship to be investigated in just half a day. Getting trampled twice in one month! No way! There must be a connection between the two things!"

"Yes, yes." The prime minister had no choice but to stand up at this time to appease the furious king. He was relieved by the king's angry performance, and he would show his emotions to show that he was not so unpredictable, right? ? "Your Majesty, of course we can't let these mobs go. I believe that you will get a fair answer in the trial that starts this afternoon." After talking, obviously, they have to give the king an explanation, and it is not so unacceptable to sacrifice the interests of some irrelevant businessmen for this. The "facilitation fee" lost by the judge can be fully borne by their nobles.

In any case, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

At this time, no one would say that the street patrol ceremony proposed by the king himself gave the gangsters an opportunity. They knew very well that the most important thing now was that someone wanted to kidnap the king.

What would happen if the king was indeed kidnapped?

The life and death of the king is unknown because he is going to a "fair" trial. Without the king in charge, the people will not be able to guarantee that their hearts will fluctuate.And it is impossible for these nobles to depose such a benevolent king at will and install others. If the king returns, they will all have to bear the king's anger.But if the gangsters use the king to blackmail them, they must be controlled by others.

Therefore, kidnapping the king is a more unforgivable thing than killing the king!The ministers easily reached such a consensus.
