Black Iron Crown

Chapter 609: Hands of others

   Malda spotted them, but didn't act immediately. Instead, he colored his two subordinates so that they would not act rashly.

   In the middle of the night, wearing the costume of a footman, appeared outside Prince Lipe Uxun’s room, his behavior was very suspicious.

   It was early in the morning at this time, and the servants in the middle of the night had no work for them to do. In the entire Teska palace, only the palace guard who was responsible for patrolling safety would still act in the middle of the night.

   At this time, the two servants were passing by Prince Lipe Wuxun’s room as if nothing had happened. They were observing the guards of Prince Lipe Wuxun.

   At the door of Prince Lipe Wuxun’s room, there are two heavily armed prairie prairie soldiers, they are all wearing fish-scale iron armor with strong prairie attributes, they are all elites on the prairie!

   A poisonous snake was found on Prince Lipe Wuxun’s bed, and poison was found in the wine glass, so Prince Lipe Wuxun increased his vigilance and at the same time became chaotic throughout the Teska Palace.

   And Liepe Prince Wuxun naturally arranged a lot of back-ups for his own safety.

   As for the little emperor's proposal to add some guards to him, he refused. After discovering that someone would be against him, the Teska Palace was also full of gossip.

Most people have connected this incident with the previous rumors that the little emperor wanted to conquer the grassland, even Prince Lipe Wuxun, although he didn’t really think so, but it hasn’t started much. Trust the little emperor.

   Two servants passed by, they looked at each other and then left.

   The two grassland warriors guarding the door did not take their arrival to heart. Although most of the servants have gone to bed, who can guarantee that there will be no emergencies in such a large palace?

   The room of Prince Liepe Uxun was in a "back"-shaped corridor. Malda led two subordinates to hide on the left corner. They watched the two people leave, Malda dispelled the doubt in his heart.

   "Could it be that I am so worried?" Malda thought secretly in his heart, and winked at the two subordinates around him at the same time.

   However, just as Malda was about to take his men down to kill the two guards at the door, two sounds of bowstring tension suddenly sounded, causing a little tremor in the air.

   Malda reacted instantly, and hurriedly took out a small mirror and pointed it at the door of Prince Lipe Wuxun's room.

   Through the mirror, Malda clearly saw that two steppe warriors were stuck with a crossbow bolt in their throats. Although they were all wearing iron armor, it was impossible for every part of them to be wrapped in steel.

   Their necks, underarms, these parts are all defensive corners of armor, and they are not easily attacked during combat.

  Only the Northern Grand Duchy of Rainer, as a place rich in steel, can equip soldiers with such sophisticated armor.

   There are indeed some iron ore on the grassland, but they are flawed in the vein mining and smelting technology.

   They are not like the nomads living on the Mongolian plateau. They have a part of nomadic land, a large number of slaves, and excellent steel smelting technology.

  In the original world of Lainer, the nomadic peoples of the north had been ahead of the Central Plains dynasty in steel smelting technology for a long period of time. This was achieved because of maintaining exchanges with Central Asia and West Asia.

   And the nomads living on this grassland now, by comparison, really want to be barbarians.

   They don’t know how to move farming, the source of slaves is seriously insufficient, the steel smelting technology is low, and the productivity is even more difficult to see.

   Compared with the nomads of the Mongolian Plateau and the fishing and hunting peoples between the Baishan and Black Waters, they are really just a group of barbarians.

   The empire defeated them and continued to keep mopping up did not represent the confrontation between two civilizations like the Central Plains dynasty. The peoples on the grasslands are not worthy of being the enemies of the empire under the unified rule.

   At the beginning, Emperor Caffet continued to fight against the grassland, but it was to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the fighters would not decline.

   The death of the two guards did not attract the attention of Prince Lipe Wuxun inside the room. Although the sound of the bowstring tightening was not small, it was obvious that the solid wood door had a good sound insulation effect.

The two grassland warriors fell to the ground and bloody, they struggled weakly for a while, instinctively began to twitch, their mouths opened and closed as if they wanted to warn Prince Lipe Wuxun in the room, or they were struggling subconsciously. .

   However, because their throat pipe was penetrated by the crossbow bolt, they could not give any warning at all. They could only let the air circulate freely in their nearly broken throat pipe, making a "ho-ho" sound.

   Through the faint firelight in the corridor, Malda saw the movements of the two servants through the slightly blurred mirror.

   As a confidant spy in the North, he has a very high professional quality. The equipment is usually carried with him and kept in a relatively hidden place for easy access at any time.

  According to Malda's speculation, the two "servants" were wearing soft-soled shoes under their feet, because they didn't even make a sound when they walked. Obviously, they are also the elite of the spies.

   Walking without making a sound, Malda can do it naturally, but he is now wearing a pair of ordinary guard boots, which inevitably makes a little noise when he walks.

   Malda led his subordinates and even suppressed his breath, trying to prevent the two "servants" from discovering himself.

   These two "servants" were slowly approaching the door of Prince Lipe Uxun's room at this time. They didn't have any language communication ~lightnovelpub.net~ It seemed that they could understand each other's intentions only with their eyes.

   "Who are they from? Who wants to kill Prince Lipe Wuxun?" Looking at the other party's sneaky movements, Malda did not intend to go out immediately, but thought carefully in her heart.

   As for the task, naturally these two people will do it. According to Malda's observation, the assassination level of these two people is not below his own. If even they can't succeed, then he can't successfully assassinate Prince Lipe Wuxun.

   What he really wants to know now is who is instructed by these two servants so that they can send the news to His Majesty the Grand Duke and let him make a decision.

   One of the "servants" took out a dagger about thirty centimeters long and gently stuffed it into the gap between the door and the door frame. They were testing whether the door had been plugged in.

   Soon, they tentatively came out: The door was not bolted.

   The two glanced at each other, and both saw the alert in each other's eyes. They nodded, clenched the dagger in their hands, and at the same time took the newly refilled crossbow from their waists.

   The two people tiptoed open the door, then walked in gently.

   When Malda saw this, his expression became tense, and immediately led his subordinates, and followed them lightly.
