Leonhardt told him everything that happened in the past few days when An fainted. During the process, An placed his hand on the back of Miku's neck.
Miku, who hadn't slept for several days, slowly fell asleep.
An's expression still showed weakness. He listened to Leonhardt with a calm face and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for protecting me and my companions."
"This is what I should do, keep it to myself." Leonhardt smiled for the first time in these days. He was about to say something more, but noticed An's expression.
Leonhart suddenly felt that An's words meant something: "Have you discovered anything?"
Faced with Leonhart's question, An did not answer immediately.
After thinking about it for a long time, he noticed Miku lying in his arms, looked up and asked Liliana: "Can you help me send her back to the room? She should have a good rest long ago."
Miku had not had a peaceful sleep for several days in order to take care of herself. Now she finally fell asleep. It would be bad if the sound of talking woke her up again.
An looked at Miku's tired face and felt very distressed.
His hands moved away from Miku's neck and turned to his shoulders, trying to prop her up so Liliana could take over.
However, Liliana did not agree as An expected. She had seen Miku's performance in the past few days, which made Liliana easily understand Miku's thoughts at this time.
"I think Miku would rather stay by your side." Liliana said to An seriously.
Now Leonhardt no longer wanted him. He nodded sincerely and agreed with Liliana's words.
An was startled, looked at Miku, and then noticed that even though Miku was asleep, he was still clutching his quilt's hand.
Complex emotions passed through her mind. When she saw Miku's pursed lips in her sleep, An smiled with relief and said only one sentence:
"I see."
He turned Miku around so that she could lie in his arms in a more comfortable position, and then lifted up part of the quilt to cover her.
Let go now and let go quickly!
Seeing that Miku didn't stop her from grabbing the quilt when she was lifting the quilt, An took care of the hair in front of her forehead, feeling funny and wanting to complain at the same time.
If he hadn't moved his hands, he would have thought Miku was pretending to sleep.
An was minding his own business while looking at Miku's sleeping face. The two people next to him were suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, they felt a little sweet.
Finally An himself reacted.
"Sorry, sorry." An, whose face was hot, hurriedly looked for the previous state.
After pondering for a moment, An did not directly tell her discovery, but asked Leonhardt: "What is the training of the Guards like?"
Leonhardt said without blinking: "Both normal training and combat skills training within the Guard are all handled by instructors. However, the Guard has not expanded its enrollment in the past few years, and it is basically the same establishment as Brother Wang at that time. , I don’t know how to train if I am a pure newcomer. In terms of seniority, I am actually the youngest member of the escort team."
Although Leonhardt was confused as to why Yu An asked this question, he did not speculate on it without authorization. He planned to follow An's train of thought. Leonhardt's answer was based not so much on what he had learned as on his personal experience.
To Liliana's surprise, Leonhardt had no taboos in addressing him, and he bluntly called Lecco the king's brother.
Seeing An's expression as usual, Leonhardt continued: "In terms of fighting skills, we have a set of fighting skills as a template. According to Brother Wang, this set of fighting skills was summed up by the fighting masters in the original escort team. It’s very practical, and there are only a handful of fighting skills that can compare with it.”
Recalling the bravery he saw several times when the guards were fighting, An nodded.
Leonhardt raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "When the instructors teach, they will also incorporate what they have learned personally or the combat skills we have learned during missions, so that students can learn in depth according to their own characteristics. In this way It not only ensures coordination, but also maximizes individual combat effectiveness.”
After listening carefully, An nodded again, and then suddenly asked: "Is your training method known to many people in the capital?"
What An meant by this was to ask about the confidentiality of the training content of the escort team. He saw Leonhart telling him so easily, so he asked.
Leonhardt shook his head: "If the person asking was not you, you would have been surrounded by the escort at the beginning."
"That means confidentiality is very high...isn't it natural?"
As the symbol of the empire's highest level of force, the Imperial Guard's training methods are of course top secret. Otherwise, how could the Guards frighten other countries? Their combat power makes so many people jealous!
I slept for too long, and my head was still a little unclear when I woke up...
He held his forehead and sighed in his heart.
Then his face darkened.
If so, things get even more troublesome!
Under the gaze of Leonhardt and Liliana, An revealed his findings.
"That assassin came for the theater troupe... more likely, he came for me."
When An said these words again, even though she knew Miku was asleep, she still covered her ears with both hands.
"What!" Liliana screamed, fearing to wake Miku, and quickly covered her mouth.
Leonhardt's expression became even gloomier than when he saw An fainting: "Is it true..."
In the past few days when An was sleeping, Leonhardt had various speculations about the purpose of the attackers, such as assassinating the imperial princess and causing chaos in the empire; assassinating Hutto and causing the kingdom to lose an important person; In the presence of the princess, he will kill anyone at will, just to provoke a dispute between the kingdom and the empire...
Generally speaking, these possibilities are relatively high. But now that the theater troupe has been attacked by unknown persons, Leonhardt has to make another assumption:
The assassin's target is An. The purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is to ensure that the "Regent" can never return!
This is the possibility that makes Leonhardt the most angry and frightened!
"How did you deduce it?" Leonhardt wanted to know the clues that Ann noticed.
"When you rushed over, the assassin ignored the throwing knife you threw and planned to kill me first." At that time, An's vision was a little blurred due to poisoning, but he still remembered this.
At that time, Leonhardt was in a hurry to shorten the distance, and his line of sight was blocked by An. Afterwards, he only thought that the assassin's combo attacks were dodged by An, so he ignored this detail...
While reflecting, Leonhardt's mood hit rock bottom.
People from other countries, including the vast majority of people in the empire, don’t know the appearance of the regent Lecco, so the enemy can only be one of our own, and most likely the top brass of the empire - the main culprit of the attack on the theater troupe is full of doubts in the prison. Death, this is simply impossible for someone without a certain amount of power in the imperial capital!
An's narration has not stopped yet: "After I was protected by the guards, I observed the battle between you and the assassin. From a third-party perspective, many of your moves were predicted in advance by the assassin."
An’s words roared like thunder in Leonhardt’s ears.
"You mean, the mastermind behind the scenes has something to do with the escort?!" Hearing the implication of An's words, Leonhardt's mouth went dry as he spoke.
Leonhardt was being conservative when he said it. He didn't fight many times in front of the public. The only times he fought were only his own people present, and the rest were only his own sparring within the team. If his moves and habits are really known to the assassin in advance, it means there is definitely a mole in the escort team!
Leonhardt could accept that anyone at the top of the empire was behind the scenes, but he could not accept the possibility that the Guards would cause the attack!
When Leko disappeared, it was the old man in the escort who saved Leonhardt and indirectly protected Liliana. Without them, Leonhardt couldn't imagine what kind of situation he and his sister would be in now. Moreover, the Imperial Guard are the most loyal supporters of the Regent Lecco. Both emotionally and rationally, Leonhardt cannot accept that they would attack the theater troupe!
Leonhardt was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that if there was really a mole, before he could be caught, he would have to retreat from the guard members who were standing guard around him before talking about important matters...
Before he raised his hand, he heard An say: "No, if it really matters, with the assassin's weirdness, there is a high probability that he can escape from your hands. What the assassin should know is the template of fighting skills you have trained. He The best cultivators are those who have the conditions to be exposed to the Guards for a long time."
An looked at Leonhardt: "In other words, the person behind the scenes lives in the imperial capital and has a very important position. He probably has the authority to assign tasks to the escort team."
