It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 550: The Bright Night (3900 words)
As the sky darkened, the blue moon rose into the sky.

After leaving the lower city, Luo Wei headed towards the north of the main city, where the people from Qianyue disappeared.

This is already the area that will be covered by flames.

"Are you sure it's here?" Luo Wei asked Xiang Duomi.

"Feimi said it's here," Duomi looked around and said, "If I'm right, it should be under the bridge."

One man and one machine came to the bottom of the stone bridge. Judging from the environment, it was indeed a convenient place for assassins to meet. Luo Wei opened his golden pupils and looked around. The traces on the ground had been cleaned up, but not long after, he found the sword fighting badge wrapped in a package under a piece of buried soil.

Besides.

There was nothing left inside.

Luo Wei held his chin in his hand and couldn't help but ponder. In fact, he had always been in contact with and tested these people, but how could a professional assassin reveal the mission target to him? As a tool for carrying out the mission, he probably couldn't understand things at the level of the "Salvation Tea Party". It was impossible for the other party to trust him because of these.

From such behavior, he heard the meaning of executing orders.

So who are they going to kill?
"Tell this to the Five Princesses and others, and ask them to be on guard."

"it is good!"

Duo Mi nodded, turned around, turned on stealth and disappeared.

It was impossible to tell where these people were going from the surrounding scene, but Lovelli was probably not their target, otherwise they would have had countless opportunities to act and there would have been no need to wait until today.

Who else could the target be? The king? The princess? The prince? The chancellor? The grand duke?

There are a bit too many heavyweights, but there is no doubt that they are all concentrated in three places: the royal palace, the upper city aristocratic district and the aristocratic district. This place is also closer to these three areas and is an imaginable direction.

Luo Wei: “……!”

Suddenly he sensed a breath and looked up in surprise. A man in rags and with yellow eyes was sitting on the bridge looking at him.

Chaham?
"It seems that there are really a lot of rats tonight. They all come here just by smelling the smell."

"..."

Luo Wei frowned and did not reply, his hand subconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword.

"You are the famous swordsman, right?" Chaham looked him up and down, raised his hand and pointed in a direction. "If you want to chase me, I'll let you go."

"Is there anyone else looking for them?" Luo Wei asked seriously.

The person who didn't reply this time was Chaham. He couldn't tell whether his words were true or false. Luo Wei didn't plan to stay here any longer. He held the hilt of the sword, took two steps back, and then jumped onto the bridge. He remained alert and turned into the alley without looking back.

It was not until he had passed several streets and used his golden eyes to confirm that there was no one behind him that he stopped, leaning against the wall.

I didn’t expect to meet Chaham halfway.

But if you think about it carefully, this matter is not surprising. The Yin God Sect also has its own channels. Chaham will naturally not tell Sheila everything. What he did was different from the high priest's instinctive reaction, so it would not make him suspicious about his identity.

All kinds of monsters and demons are popping up.

Regardless of whether there are other forces, the appearance of Chaham means that the plan of "Qian Yue" has been exposed, and their situation will be dangerous.

At this point in time, Luo Wei didn't want to miss any clues, and the direction Chaham pointed him in was -

It is the Lion Palace.

It just happens to be the most troublesome place.

Luo Wei put on his hood under the wall, then came out of the narrow passage to check again. After confirming that no one was following him, he ran into the night without looking back, confirming the situation along the way and running towards the direction of the palace.

If you can't find it on the road, then you'll just have to get there before them.

He stopped at the Holy Lion Square at the entrance of the palace, summoned Seya and asked her to act as a messenger to contact the Funeral Hermits and other mission forces. Then Luo Wei took a deep breath, took off his hood and walked towards the entrance of the palace, ready to patiently accept the interrogation.

After climbing up the stairs, he saw a familiar figure there.

"Why is it you?" Luo Wei said helplessly as he looked at Viscount Ulysses standing guard at the door with a sword in his hand.

However, this guy's words were easier to talk to. It seemed that he also sensed the situation and voluntarily stood guard at the gate of the palace. Tonight, the strong men came one after another.

Seeing him coming alone, Viscount Ulysses also noticed something strange, and then Lowe quickly explained the situation to him.

"I see," Ulysses closed his eyes and said calmly, "Then I hope you can go in and check on the situation of His Majesty and the others. I will guard here."

Luo Wei nodded without saying anything more, and quickly passed the pass and came to the palace. He wanted to find Evan, but the first person to receive the news and meet him was Princess Emily Kersh.

In the reception room, Luo Wei saw the princess who was safe and sound, and the princess also seemed a little surprised.

"Luo Wei? Are you here to see me alone? Could it be that... I'll go make some tea now."

"No, this is not important now," Luo Wei hurriedly stopped her, "I have something to do with Evan. It may not be peaceful tonight. I hope you can stay in a safe place as much as possible."

Princess Emily Kersh was slightly stunned.

"Then you might have missed him," the princess said worriedly, "He just came to me to check on the situation, and now he's going to see His Majesty."

King?
That means Evan has also noticed it, which is a good thing, but the procedure for an audience with His Majesty without Evan might become very tricky. You can't let the princess take a foreign man with her so late at night.

As for letting Loveli come over, too much action might bring uncertainty. What she should do now is to stay in the manor and give orders.

Perhaps the princess noticed his thoughtful look and gently placed her hand on his sleeve.

"Don't worry. I will have my servants guard the palace gate. I could have gone in to give you a message, but you would definitely not agree to let me go alone."

"Yes..." Luo Wei said with some shame, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"No," the princess said with a smile, "Evan should be out soon. Let me make you a cup of tea first."

About thirty minutes later, Rowe waited for Evan to return from the king.

After hearing about "Thousand Moons", Evan sat there and thought for a moment.

"I originally thought that I only needed to be alert about the Archduke and the fire, but it seems that the situation is more serious than I thought."

"Do you know something?" Luo Wei looked at him and asked.

"The organization 'Thousand Moons' also came to Melendel more than two hundred years ago, and most of the people they killed were heinous criminals," Evan said calmly and modestly, "At that time, they assassinated the king, and succeeded."

Princess Emily Kersh smiled and served refreshments to the two of them.

"Mother……"

Evan's face showed a hint of helplessness.

"And I have some information here that I don't know if it's useful to you," he continued, looking at Luo Wei, "This morning, Grand Duke Auckland met with the Prime Minister, and then some of the guards in the palace were replaced by the Grand Duke's men."

"For example?"

"Guards responsible for protecting His Majesty."

"Is that so..." Luo Wei understood, "No wonder you are still moving around so late." "I have planted my people among them, but I still don't understand," Evan said, "In my father's current state, it is not worth it to do this deliberately, and the guard arrangement given by the Grand Duke is more rigorous and comprehensive than that of the Prime Minister."

By replacing the guards, has the protection been upgraded?
Meanwhile, Randall has no objection to this.

I'm afraid there is no need to arrange such a feint. The intentions of these two people are really hard to understand.

Then Rowe briefly explained the current situation to Evan. Although there were no new clues, it would be easier for him to make a judgment if he understood the situation.

"Okay," Evan nodded after listening, "It seems that this is not a simple assassination."

Luo Wei also stood up at this time.

The princess looked at him in surprise: "Eh? Are you going out so late? It's so cold outside now..."

"There are still some things that worry me." Luo Wei put on his cloak again.

After talking with Evan, I eliminated a lot of options, but it would be better to find them on Qianyue's side.

"Well... well then," the princess placed her hands on her thighs a little stiffly, "Be careful, I'll arrange for someone to prepare a room for you, don't push yourself too hard."

Evan sat there with a gentle smile.

You're already treating him as your younger sister's husband, but their relationship doesn't seem to be worth worrying about to this extent.

Watching his mother set off to get something, Evan reminded her helplessly, "Mom, isn't this the time to send snacks?"

"Oh... yes, I'm used to it..."

Seeing the princess acting like a frightened canary, Luo Wei tried to comfort her for a moment, and then said to Evan:
"Then I'll leave this to you. Please be careful."

"Yeah." Evan also stood up and nodded.

After coming out of the Lion Court Palace and communicating the situation with Viscount Ulysses, Luo Wei began to use Qi to gradually explore the area. Rather than hoping that something unexpected really happened, he now hoped that Chaham had pointed him in the wrong direction. At least the situation might not be that serious.

If the people who are also chasing Qianyue are from the palace, then there are very few options.

Soon he received a message from Seya from Nununi. After all, he had been sending people to track her, but from previous intelligence, Qianyue started to act only after getting rid of the Hermit Society.

"over there!"

With Seya's guidance, they quickly found the contact person of the Hermit Society, who then cautiously pointed to a building to Luo Wei.

This action alone has attracted a lot of forces to pay attention.

Luo Wei quickly arrived there and knocked on the door, but he could sense no one there. After he went in, he found an extremely heavy secret door in the basement.

He opened the secret door and walked in holding a torch. When he got to the bottom, he felt relieved when he saw that Qianyue’s men were pointing daggers at him.

"call……"

He sat down directly on the steps after coming down.

As a member of the delegation, the other party naturally knew who he was and looked at him with surprise.

"Your plan has been discovered by all parties," Luo Wei looked at them and said, "I have already found two groups of people following you when I tracked down the sword fighting badge you left behind."

"……what?"

For a moment, everyone in the basement fell silent. The woman who made it to the quarterfinals of the elite tournament came up and said, "We received an order to terminate the competition halfway through."

Luo Wei also guessed it, otherwise what he would see now should be their corpses.

In other words, they actually have superiors who are responsible for communication and delivery.

"What I want to know more is why you chose to take action today?" Luo Wei asked.

The masked girl did not answer.

Based on what the other party just said, Luo Wei guessed that it was probably also because of an order.

"Let's go out first," Luo Wei stood up, "It won't do you any good to stay here. We can talk about other things later."

The people of Qianyue looked at each other and then nodded.

Leaving the building and heading in the opposite direction of the palace with a group of people, Luo Wei knew that these people had more doubts about this mission than he did, and now they were being used. In any case, it would be better to let them return to the villa first.

Why did Qianyue deliberately order the action to take place today and also deliberately recall them halfway?

Something was a little unusual tonight.

Luo Wei always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching behind all this.

Arriving near Saint Laurent Square, Loewy met Chaham again.

"It seems that you have found the cheese tonight? But for mice, what they want more is peanut butter."

He sat on the outer edge of a bell tower and cast a cold gaze at the group of people below.

All of Qianyue's men were in fighting stances. Luo Wei stretched out his hand to stop them and took a step forward.

"You always appear at the key places. What do you want to do?"

"Curious," Chaham said.

"what?"

Chaham stood up on the outer edge, his rags fluttering in the night wind.

He looked at Luo Wei and said, "I thought I could find the answer through you, but now, maybe there is no answer to this matter itself."

"What does it mean to have no answer?"

Luo Wei didn't intend to trust him, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed like he only had half a clue.

The two looked at each other for a moment in the moonlight, and at this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky in the distance.

Almost immediately, everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from. Under the azure moonlight and the miraculous light of the Three Heavenly Rings, a ball of intense flames rose from the Prime Minister's Tower in the Lion Garden Palace.

What?

Qianyue's people stood there in a daze. Luo Wei and Chaham narrowed their eyes, and then they looked at each other again.

"Haha, you..."

However, before Chaham could say anything, he was interrupted by a vibration from the ground, and both of them showed expressions of disbelief almost at the same time.

boom--!
The night became bright at this moment.

The lower city area, the Lion Court Palace, and the upper city aristocratic area were engulfed in flames.
