Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 900 Eavesdropping (Part )

"Many things need to be viewed in connection with each other. What Lingxiu said just now gave me an idea. The more things seem to be taken for granted and logical, the truth is often not that simple. What if the 'blessing in disguise' that the king mentioned is exactly the illusion that the opponent wants us to believe?!" Master Mai said excitedly, and everyone was immediately confused.

"Look," the fat man said, grabbing a strand of hair and explaining, "There are many suspicious points about the murder of Vice Marshal Balke. Fritz was somehow involved, and then we found Dilbora. It seems that she is the initiator of the conspiracy to frame her sister and assassinate Valodia. But why do you think she did this?"

Everyone had no idea and could only follow Mai Sang's thoughts. "The former should be to alienate the relationship between the Regent and Suril, and the latter is to make Master Mai and Rules become enemies. Of course, Master Mai's current identity is not only Suril's boss, but also Chino's representative. Therefore, the purpose of Dilpola's doing this is to make us suspicious and distrust each other, and at the same time isolate Chino and Rules, so as to defeat them one by one!" Amin was the first to express his opinion.

"That's the problem!" Mai Sang narrowed his eyes and analyzed calmly, "This conspiracy seems flawless, but it's full of loopholes. First of all, Fritz has been with us for so long, and she is Shouhu's lover. Can she easily abandon the opportunity to reform and repeat the same mistakes? Secondly, Fritz is indeed a professional killer, but her skills are limited after all. Is the chance of success high if she assassinates Foreign Minister Ruels under strict security? If Dilpola really wants to use her sister to complete these tasks, isn't it too stupid? Doesn't she worry that we will be suspicious? After all, only Chino and Ruels have the strength to resist McKen head-on. This is something even a three-year-old child knows!"

"Also," the fat man continued, "there are many experts in the Ruhr camp, but when we had the meeting, only Valodia was present. This can certainly be seen as a sign of trust, but it is also possible to see it as deliberately creating conditions for assassination?! Moreover, Valodia's clothes were cut open by Fritz's lightsaber, and I saw that he was wearing protective soft armor inside. Could it be that this guy had already anticipated that someone would harm him?"

Although Mr. Mai's words made some sense to everyone, they seemed more like an excuse to exonerate Fritz of his guilt.

"Your Highness the Regent, please forgive my stupidity. You have said so much, but what are you worried about?" Elsma asked the question that puzzled everyone.

"Valodia said he wanted to divide the world into one third or even two, but he also said he would not give up any opportunity, which means we cannot rule out the possibility that Rules and McKenn will join forces to destroy Chino! So I think there may be another truth to what happened before!" said the fat man helplessly.

"At least now it seems that Fritz is definitely not the real murderer of Deputy Marshal Balke, and she attacked Valodia because Dilbora caught her and forced her. So Mr. Mai, you can rest assured that I will not pursue her matter anymore, and you will decide for yourself... Besides, you just mentioned the importance of Chino and Ruels joining forces. I think McKen had to resort to stupid tricks to avoid this from happening. Now that the Ruels are willing to join forces against McKen, we should seize this opportunity to save Suril. Let's put it this way, if we really have to choose, Suril is willing to be sheltered under Chino's wings." Deng Pula stated his bottom line, but it also overturned Mai Sang's other suspicions.

"I didn't expect that Dengpula would choose to go far away and join the Chino camp. It shows that he is not without concerns about the Ruhr people..." the fat man thought to himself.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. If things don't go as expected, both Suril and Chino will lose a powerful ally, and the arrogance of the McKen people will be further encouraged. However, Lord McKen's concerns should also be taken seriously. These decisions involving the life and death of the country do need to be made with caution, and we should plan and arrange more carefully." Elsma came out to smooth things over at the right time.

Mai Sang wanted to say something else when he suddenly saw a green shadow rushing in from the window on the roof of the bedroom. "Qing Shen!" he shouted, and the person rushed out of the hall like lightning.

"Follow Lord Mai!" The queen reacted immediately and hurriedly shouted to the maid outside the palace. She also explained to Deng Pula: "His Royal Highness the Regent was worried that someone might come to eavesdrop, and he made arrangements outside the palace. It seems that something is going on."

Amin was worried about Mai Sang's safety, so he quickly ran out of the palace and saw the fat man staring at a series of almost invisible footprints on the ground. The direction of the footprints was towards the outside of the palace.

The dozens of guards around were tense and horrified. "Master Chief of Staff, we have been guarding outside the palace without any slackness. But we really don't know how the eavesdropper sneaked to the door. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Regent suddenly came out and scared him away..." The head of the guards reported stutteringly, feeling annoyed for his dereliction of duty. "Let's go and find Homulus!" Maisan said, and rushed to the small courtyard on the west side of the palace. Amin ordered the four maids who followed him to protect Dengpula's safety, and asked two men to follow the footprints on the ground to find the whereabouts of the eavesdropper. He took other followers and followed the fat man.

"Oh, Your Highness the Regent, are you in such a hurry to discuss something with me?" Seeing the fat man suddenly appear, Holmes asked with a serious face.

"Tell the gecko to come out and see me!" Mai Sang also said coldly with a sullen face. Emin arrived at this time, and he secretly pulled the fat man's sleeve, signaling him to control his emotions.

"Lord Mai, has the plan to rescue Her Majesty the Queen been finalized?" Before Holmes could say anything, the sleepy gecko came out by himself.

"Damn! You are spotless!" After examining the other person from head to toe, Master Mai felt very uncomfortable because he did not find any flaws. "I will mobilize people to rescue Capricorn tonight. You should be ready to lead the way!" he ordered.

The fat man felt like he was being led astray by others. Although he was angry, he knew that he had to push things forward in order to take the initiative.

"Huh? That won't work!" The palace guard was shocked and said, "I can tell you the approximate location, but you don't need to go with me. I don't have any focus at all. My own life and death are not important. It would be bad if I became a burden and delayed things!"

"Your Highness, the peace conference is about to be held. Why should we rush? Why not resolve this matter through negotiation?" Holmes frowned and suggested.

"If you hope to rely on Chino and Rules to suppress McKen, forget it. I have completely fallen out with the Rules. Next, I will probably have to fully cooperate with Chino and face the pressure from McKen and Rules at the same time! If we don't rescue the queen in advance, how can we fight this battle?!" Mai Sang said with a cold face.

"Your Excellency, the footprints were heading towards the Mackenzie camp. We were afraid of exposing our whereabouts, so we didn't pursue them to the end!" The two servants who went to check the footprints came running to report, panting.

"Damn! You can turn being afraid of death into worrying about being exposed, you have a bright future!" The fat man cursed in his heart, and said to the palace guard, "Look, the secrets that the chief of staff and I planned just now have been eavesdropped by the McKen people. Rescuing Capricorn is imperative. You must participate tonight, otherwise you will be a spy!"

After yelling, this guy turned around and left without caring how ugly Holmes's face was.

Lingxiu: Qingshen, why did you come back if you don't want to take good care of Holmes?
