Chapter 479 Conspiracy Tricks
"Tsk, I've been dead for almost three hours."

After just watching for a while, Volorida judged the time of death. He had seen many dead people on the battlefield, and judging the time of death had become a basic skill of his.

Lying in front of them is a dead man wearing businessman's clothes. The material of the clothes looks very good, but now the clothes have become tattered and covered with blood, full of bites from wild wolves. However, it was obviously not the wild wolf that killed him, but the crossbow bolt that traversed the entire left chest.

Both Rurik and Volorida were full of indifference. They didn't know how many such scenes they had seen, and they didn't know how many things were worse than this on the battlefield. Vasilko's face was a little dignified, but that was all.

"Killed so close to Kiev, it seems that we need to clean up near Kyiv." Rurik pulled out the crossbow seriously, well, this is the work of the Kyiv workshop, "There are robbers so far away from Kyiv. Activities in nearby places, this must not be allowed to stay.”

At this moment, Vasilko, with a serious face, took the initiative to go up and look over the corpse. This man made his two older brothers cast curious glances. This kid is actually interested in the corpse?This is really a surprise, hasn't he always been less interested in these things?
"I just think this person died too strangely." As if knowing what the two brothers were thinking, Vasilico said, "This area is desolate and remote, and it's not a place where businessmen should come, so why did he come here?" Here? And more importantly, why did he die here? Does this seem to be a place where robbers often haunt?"

Vasilko's words awakened the other two people. Anyway, in the state of the neighborhood, it is a miracle that people come here. The villages are deserted, and there is no human habitation at all. If they hadn't been running around on horseback, they wouldn't have come here at all. Here, how could someone come to such a remote place?Neither leaving Kyiv nor going to Kiev should come here.

Volorida felt that this was an interesting thing, so he dismounted and rolled over with his little brother, and groped around the corpse.

Rurik looked at the two helplessly, yes, it is indeed interesting how this person appeared here, but it is not to the point of letting the two Rurik princes rummage through the corpse together. .

But he had no choice but to watch the two brothers rummaging around, which was also very helpless.

On the other side, Volorida and Vasilko stood up almost at the same moment, and the two looked at each other, exchanging glances and tacit understanding.

"Sure enough, this is not a robbery."

Vasiliko opened the pouch in his hand, and the silver coins from the Kyiv mint fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which indicated that it had not been cut and was stained with the blood of their owner.

"And I found a letter and those people didn't destroy it for some reason."

Volodari picked up a crumpled piece of parchment, and Vasilko read it intently, the writing was so scribbled that he had to read it a little longer, "Well, this is a record about a transaction , Are the goods being traded—armor and crossbows? Or a full fifty sets? In exchange, are they slaves?"

This news exploded among the crowd like a shocking earth-shattering. This is big news. Although Ross did not restrict the flow of crossbows and armor, since the beginning of Rostislav’s rule, these purchases have to be recorded. The flow of weapons is the most important thing to write down.

Rurik's face was the most solemn, because he knew very well that he had not seen such a weapon transaction, not in the past few months, and this person died here again.

On the other side, Vasilko had a puzzled look on his face, "This is really strange, why didn't that person destroy this letter, if the person who killed him came to silence him, why is this letter still here? "

"No matter what happens, we must inform father of the matter as soon as possible."

Volorida immediately said that such a large-scale arms flow is definitely not a trivial matter, and he must tell his father immediately that although Volorida is usually absurd, he has never been ambiguous when encountering things.

"No, I think we can just go and get rid of this seller." Rurik took the parchment and looked at it for a while, "There is a symbol on it, I know it belongs to a master in the blacksmith guild, let us Let's take this one to my father first."

"That's good too."

"Then act."

The other two brothers agree with his decision. They still have a lot of confidence in solving a master blacksmith or something. However, I will take this guy up and torture him first to see what he knows. , it would be better to announce that they solved this shit while reporting to father.

Having decided so, the three of them got on the horse immediately. At this moment, no matter in the hearts of Rurik, Volorida or Vasiliko, there was a strong impulse to take risks. They felt as if they had returned to their childhood. Their little adventures in the Moscow woods made them very happy.

And not long after the Rurik princes got active, at the scene of the martial arts tournament, someone beside Rostislav whispered something.

At this moment, the fight between the two warriors below was reaching a fever pitch. The swords of the two sides were coming and going, constantly brushing against the armor, but the new news made the Grand Duke forget about the battle below.

"I didn't expect that. I just asked those three boys to go out to play, but they found someone we couldn't find. That person died in such a remote place? This is really surprising. Interesting, interesting, Things like fate are so unpredictable."

Rostislav's tone was full of playfulness. Destiny always appeared in unexpected places. Although this matter is not a big deal, it is interesting to have such twists and turns.

Some disgusting insects have been using loopholes to do some disgusting deeds under Rostislav's nose. The Grand Duke has watched them for a long time, and now he decided to attack these people.

"So what do we need to do? Grand Duke, should we act in advance?"

Domhnall asked in a low voice, as if afraid that his current words would flow out.

"No, no, let my sons check it out, go ahead, I'm curious what step they can check, let them have fun. In addition, don't worry about that person's death, no matter who killed it It’s not a bad thing in terms of the result. Well, let’s take their actions as a test, I want to see how far my sons can do it.”

Rostislav didn't think it would affect the plan, his children wouldn't screw things up, Rostislav believed in them.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if it is a mess, Rostislav can easily clean up the mess. He originally planned to do something to those people, but because a person who should have been where he was supposed to be died in a remote place , so it was delayed until now.

"I understand, Grand Duke, I will immediately stop the others from moving, and let the person in charge of tracking continue to secretly protect their safety."

Domhnall said quickly, and Rostislav's mind returned to the following game, but although he watched the game, his thoughts had drifted away unknowingly.

Seeing this, the personal captain bowed respectfully, and then stood aside.

I really don't know where those three boys can find out...

Just as the Grand Duke was thinking, he saw the Nordic warrior whom the Grand Duke favored hit the helmet of the knight in front of him with an axe, and the flat-topped helmet received the blow firmly, and the knight crashed fall down.

The winner raised his weapon high and greeted the cheers on the field, while the loser was immediately carried away by the waiting servants. Rostislav also smiled, and let the children deal with it.

"Domhnall, go get the next one started, I can't wait to enjoy it."

Put a handful of dried fruit in your mouth, and then serve another glass of wine, Rostislav ordered.

The personal captain also immediately went to perform his task, urging the staff to clean up the battlefield, and then started the second round.
