Chapter 179 There is only one truth!
Brilliant City, the Royal Palace of Fes.
In a gorgeously decorated reception room, the maids were hurriedly preparing, placing hot black tea and exquisite desserts on the small table in the middle of the sofa, bowing respectfully, and then exited the room.
Duke Harder looked serious. It was better to leave early. If he accidentally heard some terrible secret, it would not be something that could be revealed with a little punishment.
This is the way to behave as a palace maid!
Li Si leaned on the soft sofa and tasted the fragrant black tea. He has now become somewhat accustomed to this special bitter taste, which goes well with the sweet pastries.
But Duke Harder, who was sitting opposite Lis, was a little restless.
It is true that the situation of today's Holy Festival celebration is a bit unexpected.
The celebration that was supposed to go smoothly turned out to be assassinated by a gold-level assassin, and it was successful.
The gold-level assassin who had already escaped was actually captured by a legendary assassin.
Moreover, this legendary assassin seems to have a very close relationship with Lis Kane, who has just become the Marquis.
This series of super expansions made Vosys a little unable to react.
Phosse previously thought that Li Si was just a relatively outstanding junior who had some care for him.
But watching him grow rapidly step by step and become a disciple of [Flame of Judgment], it is entirely possible to touch the legendary realm in the future.
Looking at Li Si who looked relaxed, Fuxis thought for a while and did not ask.
Let's wait until His Majesty the King comes.
The silence between the two lasted for a while before it was broken by His Majesty the King and the Second Prince Yat'an who came through the door.
Morton Face's face has returned to calmness. For this monarch who has seen countless storms, even the sky falling cannot make him lose his composure.
Not to mention, the final result of today's Holy Day assassination was not bad, the assassin has been caught.
And Lisi.
Morton was sitting on the sofa at the main table with a calm expression. He was no longer as relaxed and casual as when he first summoned Li Si.
Li Si, with two legendary bosses standing behind him, was enough for Morton to take him seriously, instead of simply treating him as a junior and minister.
“I wonder who the strong one is?”
Morton sat on the main sofa and asked after a moment of silence.
Yat'an did not sit down, but chose to stand behind Morton.
Li Si did not look around like he did before in the Triumph Square, but smiled and replied:
“That's an elder of the family.”
Morton nodded with a smile on his face when he heard the news.
In fact, when Beavis told him that a legendary assassin appeared, he had already guessed it.
After all, Li Si had vaguely mentioned it to him before.
Morton did not ask further questions. Since Li Si had already hinted before, he had no ill intentions towards the kingdom.
That's good, then Morton doesn't plan to pursue the question any further. He has a certain respect for the legendary strong man.
“Li Si, since you asked that person today, did you know in advance that something would happen today?”
Morton asked with a smile on his old face.
To be honest, he had already vaguely guessed who did what happened today, but the appearance of that person made Morton even more confused.
Morton didn't believe that a legendary assassin would always be by Li Si's side. What happened today was definitely not a coincidence.
“His Majesty the King must have guessed it.”
Li Si said with a smile.
It stands to reason that King Morton must know what Yatian is secretly planning. Even if it was not known before that Yatian would assassinate the nobles during the Holy Festival celebration, he should have reacted immediately.
Don't doubt a king's political sensitivity.
"Why don't you let His Highness Yat'an explain why something like this happened today!" Li Si suggested, narrowing his eyes and looking at Yat'an who was standing behind Morton.
Hearing this, Yat'an's heart suddenly sank.
In fact, when I was in the square and saw the assassin Xue Ren being captured, I already knew that his plan had been discovered and took countermeasures in advance.
The person who saw through his plan was none other than Lis Kane, who had always made him uneasy.
As soon as Li Si said these words, it meant that he did not want to let him go.
Hearing Li Si's meaningful words, Morton's expression did not change.
Duke Harder kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart. He sat upright and seemed unconcerned.
The people present are all smart people. His Majesty the King asked him to stay, but it does not mean that he can speak freely now.
“Nayat'an, tell me, what's going on?”
Morton said in a calm tone, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of black tea.
Yatean took a deep breath and did not choose to defend himself.
At this point, he naturally had the consciousness to face failure.
Yat'an walked up to His Majesty the King, knelt on his knees, and said in a deep voice:
“That assassin was secretly trained by the Berdych Kingdom, but he was actually a chess piece that I buried in the Berdych Kingdom many years ago.”
“The assassination that happened at the celebration today was also planned by me secretly!”
Clenched his teeth and explained all his plans word by word, Yat'an let out a long sigh of relief.
It was as if the haze that had been accumulated in his heart for many days was finally revealed. No matter what the final outcome was, he would face it calmly.
Li Si, who was listening on the sidelines, was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect Yat'an's plan to be quite rigorous and thoughtful.
From the Kingdom of Berdych, to the border dukes and court nobles.
From purchasing strategic supplies from everywhere to planning an assassination during the Holy Festival.
Yate'an's plans can be said to be interlocking and far-reaching.
Especially because the assassin Blood Blade of the Berdych Kingdom turned out to be one of his people, this operation was simply outrageous.
I have to say that Yat'an is indeed a capable and ambitious person who can coordinate the layout of such a large plan.
It's a pity that he met himself instead of the nerdy Lis Kane in his previous life.
"I remember that I was among the nobles you planned to assassinate at the beginning."
Li Si said with a smile, revealing what Yat'an was hiding.
“Yes, but I changed the candidate later.”
Seeing that Li Si knew so clearly, Yat'an admitted it without even thinking about how Li Si knew every aspect of his plan so clearly.
Morton also felt what Li Si expressed in his heart.
Yatean wanted to target me, even wanted to kill me, so I fought back.
However, I still cared about the face of the kingdom, so I did not point out that the mastermind was Atian on the spot.
But the kingdom should not let Yat'an go easily. As the prince of the kingdom, assassinating the nobles of the kingdom would cause turmoil in the kingdom.
A wise man never needs to say too much.
Now the problem was put into the hands of King Morton.
Should Yatean be dealt with strictly?
