On the day when the troupe performed in the imperial capital for the last time, Wright, a jailer, happened to have a day off.
At that time, he heard some rumors about Ann, so Wright went to watch the show with the mentality of relaxing.
The moment he saw An stepping on the stage, Wright, like many people, had the illusion that "the king is back", but this feeling disappeared as quickly as it came as An's performance began.
In the memory of people in the imperial capital, Wang had never shown any talent related to art. This created a subtle sense of separation from the image An showed, causing most people in the imperial capital to suppress their excitement and think that he just looked more like Wang.
Wright is one of them.
As a supporter of the Regent, he knew more about the people he admired than the average person, so he felt the difference between An and the Regent of the Empire more deeply.
Even though he was extremely looking forward to Wang's return, Wright still firmly believed that they were not the same person.
After the attack on the theater troupe, people in the imperial capital were filled with great anger and suspicion. Such a large-scale and planned attack inevitably made people speculate whether the cause of the attack was because of An's appearance.
Because of this, the situation escalated further. Everyone in the empire wants to catch the murderer and clear all obstacles for the regent's return...
Wright had to admit that when the former Imperial Guard Captain confessed his crime and was arrested, he did have bad thoughts - the prisoner was promoted to the position of Captain of the Imperial Guard, a position that many people could only dream of, by the regent, but he did something like this. This kind of thing is a shameful betrayal and should be punished with death!
But this thought was quickly suppressed deep in the heart by reason and sense of responsibility, and no more waves were caused that could interfere with the action.
However, it was precisely because of his emotional disturbance that Wright failed to notice the suspicion.
And when he slowly calmed down and began to think about the case, a mysterious man came over.
Upon hearing that the mysterious man claimed to have a mission given to him by the Regent, Wright's first reaction was to immediately arrest the person in front of him. But the mysterious man mentioned the "secret force" established by the regent, said that he was one of them, and also produced the so-called "identification certificate."
Wright had inadvertently heard rumors about the "Secret Force". Out of curiosity, he investigated on his own for a period of time. When he followed the clues and found the Imperial Guard, Wright consciously stopped the investigation.
When people from the escort team came to inquire, while Wright swore an oath not to leak anything, he also made sure of one thing:
The "Secret Force" does exist, and its existence is top secret!
The mysterious man was able to produce relevant "evidence", which loosened Wright's defenses. Coupled with the temptation of "helping his idol", he made a misjudgment.
It wasn't until recently that he discovered the other party's suspicions that Wright finally woke up.
If he could go back in time, Wright would definitely slap himself in the face at that time. But it was not because he followed the mysterious man here, but because he should have secretly conveyed this matter to the escort team at that time!
Everything shows that the enemy is likely to exist at the top of the empire, otherwise the mysterious man would not know so many secrets.
He cannot defeat this level of enemies by himself, but at least he can act as an internal agent, cooperating with the escort team internally and externally to disintegrate the opponent!
It's a pity that he was carried away by his emotions at the time. Such annoyance stayed with Wright for a long time, and he even planned to pass on the information at all costs.
Until the appearance of Shinozuki and Froya brought a turn of events.
They were the last straw that Wright grasped. With his character, if he went wrong this time, he would really plan to die in the line of duty...
Wright looked at Floya in front of him, and then at Xiaoyue behind her.
Why do I think they can be trusted?
Wright was a little confused.
There were wrong cases ahead, and he re-examined his thoughts.
Noticing that Wright had fallen silent, Floya looked at him strangely, turned around and started washing the dishes again.
The intelligence is almost complete, and the subsequent escape plan needs to be carefully audited. The most important thing now is not to expose it.
Wright noticed Floya's movements and started washing the dishes, but he was a little absent-minded.
Just as Xiaoyue was about to step forward, she suddenly raised her head and looked somewhere.
"Wow——"
Floya and Wright felt a strong wind behind them at the same time.
Looking back, Xiao Yue had disappeared.
"Where is the person?" Wright's thoughts were interrupted, and he was a little confused when he saw such a strange situation.
Froya just looked back and looked at the place where Xiaoyue was looking before.
"No way..." She frowned.
Floya took a step forward, then looked back at Wright hesitantly: "You... stay here and be vigilant."
After she finished speaking, she left the kitchen nimbly, so fast that Wright couldn't even see clearly.
In the blink of an eye, people are no longer visible.
Wright stood there blankly.
"My feeling seems to be right..."
There was a little more joy in his muttering.
…
Stopping at a place in the woods, Xiaoyue concentrated on observing her surroundings. In the moonlight, she noticed a dark shadow moving back and forth between the trees.
Xiaoyue arched her body slightly, and her slender legs burst out with unimaginable power, rushing towards the black shadow at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
The black shadow heard the noise and turned around, but only saw a sole approaching quickly.
"Varied?!"
boom--
The panicked shadow only had time to utter one word before the sole of his shoe was deeply imprinted on his face. The way he landed on the back of his head while he was running bounced a few times on the ground, and he lost consciousness.
Xiaoyue stood firm, as if she had done something insignificant, and her breathing was not disordered at all. She narrowed her eyes and took in the man's appearance.
I’ve never seen him in the village, but he’s definitely an enemy!
"Ah, there really is an eyeliner?!" Froya appeared next to Xiaoyue, "Damn it, how could I not notice..."
"He is very far away. He is just observing and will not hear the conversation." Xiaoyue pointed to the telescope that fell aside. "I only noticed it when he left."
Floya rubbed her hair irritably: "What should I do now? Wipe it off? But since he came to monitor, he might have discussed it with his companions... Damn, although I thought someone would monitor me, I didn't expect they would be like this. cautious!"
Xiaoyue frowned slightly.
She also didn't expect that the enemy would choose to abandon monitoring the content of the conversation and choose to observe from such a long distance.
With such a degree of caution, Floya's actions to test Wright would definitely be considered suspicious. If this person is asked to go back and report, the enemy will definitely pay attention to it.
But, as Floya said, if this person makes an appointment with his companions in advance, and if he fails to return, the same consequences will still occur...
"Huh-ha-"
Hearing the gasp, Shinozuki and Froya turned around at the same time.
It turned out to be Wright running over at full speed.
The distance from the village chief's brother's house to here is naturally nothing to a soldier, but if he rushes over at full speed, his breathing will still become more obvious.
Wright saw the man lying on the ground and the telescope not far away, and immediately understood what was happening: "He is spying on us?"
He thought of something and frowned.
Xiaoyue noticed Leko's doubts and asked, "What did you find?"
Wright raised his head when he heard the question: "That shouldn't be the case. Although they monitor closely, in order not to arouse my vigilance, they rarely go near Xiu En's house."
"Oh, maybe it's because you met me right away..."
"That's not right, they usually don't come with just one person, they always come in pairs, so that they can transmit information in a timely manner..."
"And what he said, I just noticed it two days ago. If they were taking turns to monitor, he should have just passed by." Wright looked at the people on the ground.
Xiaoyue thought for a while and suddenly glanced at Froya, her eyes gradually losing their previous vigilance.
Froya kicked the man and asked, "Does this guy have any characteristics in normal times, such as being very careful and having to take care of everything by himself?"
"Uh-" Wright thought hard for a long time before saying awkwardly, "In terms of characteristics, this person is actually a bit... lustful?"
Just after he finished speaking, he looked at the faces of Froya and Xiaoyue, showing a look of realization, and his expression was no longer so serious.
Froya was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Xiaoyue stiffly: "I..."
"As you think." Xiao Yue narrowed her eyes.
Floya felt murderous and unconsciously shrank her neck.
Next time...next time I don’t cross-dress so beautifully, why not!
Floya cried out inwardly.
Wright looked at the man lying on the ground for a long time and suddenly had an idea: "If we can control him..."
