Chapter 3718: The Unquiet Night at Yodel Palace

Walking from the scenery of the end of the world on a remote southern island during the day to discussing marriage with the King's aunt at night. This once again made the outsider understand what "fate is impermanent" is, but unlike Claire feeling the unreality of her promotion, Xia De confirmed that all of this was real, after all, everything was grabbed by his own efforts.

【Will this night end like this?】

After "she" asked meaningfully, the story tonight still had other changes.

That was when Xia De's meeting with the King was coming to an end. The quiet night had some noisy sounds. Xia De looked up at the window behind the King, and Larus III also stopped talking, shook his head and said to Xia De:

"Don't worry, the guards will handle it."

But the noisy sound not only didn't stop but became louder and louder. Just when Xia De and Larus III stood up together, bang~, the sound of gunfire came from a position very close to the window, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the study window, but the glass did not shatter because of this.

"This glass is bulletproof special glass."

Larus III was still not panicked at this time, and even had time to explain to Xia De. Xia De just wanted to ask if bulletproof glass could prevent other things, when he saw a pitch-black "stone" smoking and flying from the side of the window, hitting the glass and falling under the glass window.

"Steam bomb!"

Boom!

The explosion sound and the clattering sound of glass shattering almost made Larus III dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was being pressed by Xia De on his shoulders and hiding under the desk. What he saw was the pen holder, several document papers, and ink winding and twisting from the edge of the vision toward his shoes under the table.

Extreme shock made him unable to figure out whether it was fear or rage in his heart at this moment. But fortunately, although the explosion of the steam bomb directly blew up the study glass, the walls of this room were not affected.

And because of the obstruction of the desk and the large distance between the desk and the window, Larus III was not injured.

He was wondering how he was pulled into the bottom of the desk by Xia De, but then he heard the sound of someone climbing over the window.

Three strangers in black coats held guns and climbed in. After scanning the room and seeing no one, they looked at the desk. But the door of the study was pushed open from the outside at the same time, and then three eunuch attendants in red holding guns aimed at the window and pulled the trigger. The three strangers who climbed into the window fell to the ground after being shot.

The marksmanship of the three attendants was very accurate. When Xia De and Larus III crawled out from under the desk, an explosion also came from the corridor outside the door. The eunuch attendant holding a gun said:

"Your Majesty, Yodel Palace has been attacked. Someone in the Royal Guard has defected to the enemy. They assisted the assassins in breaking in. Now our people are exchanging fire with the rebels."

After the shock, the King had recovered his calm:

"Leave from Exit 3 first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then one of the three came to the window, one stood at the door, and another walked to the bookshelf on the left hand side, not knowing what operation was performed, and the bookshelf opened outward to reveal the entrance of the secret passage.

"Go together."

Larus III said to Xia De, and Xia De followed.

One of the three attendants stayed behind, and the other two entered the secret passage first. After all four entered the secret passage, the door closed. Xia De followed Larus III without any thoughts. The three assassins who died just now were ordinary people, and his keen perception did not detect any traces of wrong elements. This should just be an ordinary assassination.

Although it was exaggerated that the assassins broke into Yodel Palace with the cooperation of the defected Royal Guard, and even blew up the window of the King's study, the war era was about to begin, and the outsider thought the current situation was still normal.

His "Powerful Space Perception" let him know the direction of this secret passage. Not long after, the group appeared from a corner of the courtyard surrounded by the building where the study was located.

The wall at the corner of the courtyard was opened. Xia De recognized that this was the courtyard where there were quite a few foreign envoys waiting to be summoned when he came just now. It was just that there was no one in the courtyard at this time, but the gas lamps standing around the courtyard illuminated the place very brightly.

The exchange of fire was still going on in the building. Xia De was most curious now about which force launched the attack on Yodel Palace tonight. After all, there were too many people who had reasons to take action.

"Your Majesty, go this way."

The thin eunuch attendant in red said softly, wanting to lead Larus III to bypass the courtyard and leave here. But bang~, a gunshot came from behind, and the attendant who was speaking covered his lungs and fell to the ground, losing consciousness immediately.

Xia De looked to the side. Another attendant with a fat body and an extremely clean face did not make up the shot, but turned the muzzle and pointed it at Larus III, whose face finally became ugly:

"Your Majesty, didn't expect it?"

The moonlight illuminated this scene at this moment. Xia De also didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful play to watch on his trip tonight, and the middle-aged King who was a head shorter than Xia De frowned:

"Indeed didn't expect it, Luke, you have served in Yodel Palace for twenty years. In these twenty years, I think I have never treated you badly. What is this for? Or, did you have a problem from the beginning?"

"This question, wait until you die, and go ask my poor sister."

The fat eunuch attendant said, and Xia De immediately thought of a long string of love-hate stories.

"I know about your family, your sister died of illness. What does this have to do with you pointing a gun at me now?"

The attendant holding the gun was full of ferocity. Even if he rushed over to tear Larus III apart in the next moment, Xia De would not be surprised:

"Oh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you really believe any information given to you by your subordinates? If that information was accurate, why would you be pointed at by me at this moment?"

"Luke, no matter what happened back then, at least now you still have a chance to turn back."

"Your Majesty, you never gave me a chance to turn back from the beginning. Go and repent to my poor sister..."

"Wait a moment!"

Although the two chatted fiercely, Xia De did stand on the side. He felt that he was ignored just now.

"Hamilton of Rejied, do you want to die for Larus III?"

So the fat attendant looked at Xia De again, saying that he was going to shoot Xia De first. But at this moment, hurried footsteps came. Unfortunately, the person who appeared here was not the guard of Yodel Palace, but another stranger in black.

The other party had a typical southern look, and anyone who had southern blood in his ancestors for three generations could absolutely not become an employee of Yodel Palace.

The stranger was also an ordinary person. After seeing the three people confronting each other in the courtyard at this moment, he immediately raised his gun. Of course, his muzzle was also pointed at Larus III.

"This assassination is indeed bound to succeed!" (Karsenrik language)

"Huh?"

"Do it!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots exploded in the courtyard together. And after the gunshots ended, Larus III, holding a small pistol, felt the corners of his mouth tremble as he saw Xia De's fist in front of his eyes, and at the same time he felt his heart beating at a speed he had never had before.

But this is the feeling of being alive.

Xia De withdrew his clenched fist, opened it, and let Larus III see the black bullet head lying in his palm.

The three shots just now were fired by the fat attendant, the man in black, and Larus III. The man in black's bullet was caught by Xia De, the fat attendant's bullet flew past Larus III's cheek, and Larus III's bullet directly penetrated the fat attendant's eyebrows.

There were quite a few sharpshooters tonight, and Xia De, the fourth person present, of course did not fire, because he was very disciplined and didn't bring a gun at all.

"You..."

The King tried hard to let his heart rate drop. He looked at Xia De, and then at the man in black who was standing still as if frozen. Xia De looked at the bullet in his hand and explained:

"That person was paused in time by me, this is just an ordinary person, you will shoot him to death in a while, so even if the church reads the memory afterward, there will be no problem. This bullet..."

The sound of gunfire was still ringing in the surrounding buildings at this moment, but it was not as intense as just now.

Larus III put down the small pistol that slid out of his sleeve. He looked at Xia De up and down, but he didn't look so surprised:

"So, you are indeed... like Aunt, I guessed right before, Aunt really couldn't choose..."

"Some words don't need to be said."

Xia De said, and looked at the situation in the courtyard at this time. Standing were him and Larus III, and the man in black who was paused in time; lying down were the thin attendant who was hit by the traitor at the beginning, and the fat attendant who was shot dead by Larus III just now:

"These people are ordinary people, but this bullet has a problem. Afterward, the church will definitely ask about the process, by then..."

"The four of us fired separately, and the result was that their two shots did not hit, and our two shots hit."

Larus III said, and took out another exquisite small pistol from his pocket and handed it to Xia De. Xia De aimed at the man in black and pulled the trigger.

Time stop ended, so the other party fell to the ground clutching his chest in disbelief. But immediately after, there was another gunshot. Xia De looked over and saw Larus III shot and killed the fat attendant who was lying on the ground and had lost consciousness:

"I can't be sure if he was awake just now, whether he heard our conversation... Hit by a stray bullet, I will take care of his family." ===== CHAPTER 3719 =====
