    Chapter 146 Assassination

    Bai Zhou suddenly realized that he was evil. Is it possible that something familiar and vulgar was about to happen?

    Strictly speaking, I didn¡¯t save the hotel owner¡¯s daughter, I just didn¡¯t harm her. If this could be considered a hero saving a beauty, it would be too easy.

    Opening the door, the girl stood pretty outside the door, while Michuan wisely hid in the distance.

    She has long black hair and thin clothes. Considering the current weather, this outfit seems a bit inappropriate.  Thirteen or fourteen years old, she is younger than Bai Zhou, but her tall figure is as slender as Fiora.  Her delicate lips were panting slightly, maybe because of nervousness or something else, and the hairline in the middle of her forehead protruded downward, adding a touch of charm.

    Bai Zhou sniffed subconsciously, inhaling a scent of fragrance into his chest, and felt a little uncontrollable for a moment.

    "What's the matter?" Bai Zhou was simply looking for something to say.

    The girl flashed through the door, like a frightened little white rabbit. It seemed that she was also very insecure. After entering the door, she immediately closed the door.

    Then, he took Bai Zhou's hand. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a loud voice outside the door shouting: "Judy, where are you? Oh, damn, you are not going to disturb the adults' rest."  Come back quickly, otherwise, don¡¯t expect to have food to eat tomorrow.¡±

    The little girl's face suddenly turned pale. She hesitated to say what she wanted to say, but still couldn't say it. Looking at Bai Zhou, she still let go of her hand, opened the door, and walked out.

    It just so happened that the proprietress of this hotel also came to this floor. She had a short figure and a face full of wrinkles. It was hard to imagine that she and the frail boss could have a daughter with such a mark.

    The boss's wife saw her daughter walking out of Bai Zhou's room at a glance, and hurried forward. Bao Zi's face was full of smiles, with an indescribable philistine feeling, and said to Bai Zhou: "I'm very sorry, sir, I  My daughter has never seen much of the world, so I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

    "It's okay, we were just, uh, chatting."

    "Ah" the landlady seemed a little scared and a little surprised: "She didn't tell you any nonsense, didn't she offend you in her words?"

    "No, no." Indeed, there was no time to do anything.

    "That's good, then we won't disturb your rest, sir. May God bless you." The proprietress admitted her mistake to Bai Zhou and pulled his daughter downstairs.

    "Michuan"

    After seeing the two of them leaving, Bai Zhou's smile that he had been maintaining immediately disappeared, and at the same time, he called Mi Chuan.

    "There is something wrong with this hotel. Let everyone be careful. By the way, call Fiora into my room. I'm not worried about her sleeping alone." Bai Zhou ordered. He suddenly looked up and saw that Mi Chuan looked abnormal.  I knew he was thinking wrongly: "What are you thinking about? There is something wrong with this hotel. I have no other thoughts."

    "Sir, no way, this is within the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, how can there be a problem." Michuan said this, but as if he had received the order, his body immediately straightened up, like a hero who is always ready.  lion.

    In fact, Bai Zhou did not want to believe that there was something wrong with this hotel, because if this was the case, it would mean that their trip to Nuremberg was not to celebrate, but to attend the Hongmen Banquet.

    Within the boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire, there is also a viscount accompanying him to take "meticulous" care of him, so safety issues should not seem to be a problem at all.  After all, if Bai Zhou and his party were still in Switzerland, they might have to be wary of Alberto, whose whereabouts were unknown. But in the Holy Roman Empire, who would have the ability to deploy killing moves within the empire?

    Unless it is, it can only be a local force

    This answer is too scary. If this is really the case, then Bai Zhou basically doesn¡¯t have to think about how to resist. He can just wait and be captured.

    Mi Chuan saw that Bai Zhou didn¡¯t look like he was joking, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and turned around to inform other soldiers.

    ¡°Don¡¯t alarm others yet, tell everyone to be more vigilant, but don¡¯t act rashly.¡± If it disturbs some people now, the situation will definitely undergo some more unpredictable changes, which is not what Bai Zhou wants to see.

    After a while, Fiora came to Bai Zhou¡¯s room. She lived not far from Bai Zhou.

    "Are you sure someone is going to harm us?"

    "I don't know if anyone is against us, but I am sure there is something wrong with this hotel."

    Fiora was relieved at first. It turned out that all this was just Bai Zhou's guess, but the second half of the sentence made her feel worried again.

    "How did you figure it out?"??Fiora also realized the meaning of the second half of Baizhou's sentence - if it weren't for Hua Angfu, this town would not be the only way for Baizhou to go to Nuremberg, and there are so many hotels in the town that Baizhou would not  You must stay in this hotel. It can be said that all this is arranged by Hua Aung Fu. If there is a problem with this hotel, it is a problem with Hua Aung Fu. And if there is a problem with Hua Aung Fu, what the following represents is not difficult.  Speculated.

    "That girl is not the boss's daughter. The three of them are not a family."

    There were only three people in the room, Bai Zhou, Feola, and Mi Chuan, and the people living on the left and right sides of the room were also Western Qin soldiers, but even so, Bai Zhou still whispered.

    "Why? Just because this couple is ugly, we can't conclude that they can't give birth to beautiful children." Fiora's worried heart returned to her stomach, not to mention that she didn't believe that Bai Zhou could see that woman.  Whether the child is the biological child of the boss and his wife? Even if it is not biological, what kind of problem is this?

    Bai Zhou: Have you noticed that that girl has a beautiful point?

    Fiora: What is the beauty tip?

    Bai Zhou: It¡¯s right in the middle of the forehead, where the hairline is bulging downward.

    Fiora didn¡¯t have a deep impression of the little girl, but after Jing Baizhou said this, in retrospect, this was indeed the case.

    Fiora: So what.

    Bai Zhou: It¡¯s not bad that she has beautiful peaks, but neither the owner nor the proprietress of this hotel has this feature.  As far as I know, only if parents have beautiful women, can their children inherit this characteristic. In other words, this girl has it, but the boss and his wife do not. This only proves one problem: she, not them  daughter.

    (This issue involves biological genetics. Before Mendel was born, Bai Zhou decided not to explain it in too advanced a way because no one in this era knew what dominant and recessive genes were.  the difference.)

    Fiora: But so what, that girl might just be adopted by them, which is normal.

    (Fiora didn¡¯t know what Bai Zhou was talking about, but since he was so serious, it must not be without basis, so she subconsciously decided to believe that Bai Zhou was not talking nonsense.)

    Actually, when Fiora said this, it was more to comfort herself than to refute Bai Zhou.

    Adoption?  If she was really adopted, then why when the boss wanted to use the girl to calm down the anger of some uncles, he deliberately burst into tears, saying that he couldn't let go of his biological daughter.

    It should be noted that in this era, the status of women on the continent of Europa was pitifully low (perhaps slightly higher than the status of women in Middle-earth). Even if there were infertile parents who needed to adopt children, they would definitely only adopt boys.  Why adopt a girl? Could she be a child bride?

    "Of course, I still have key evidence." Bai Zhou opened his palms. In the palm of his right hand, there was a bloody cut, which was obviously dug out by nails: "What do you think this means? Could it be that girl?  Do you secretly promise me your love?"

    This is the key to Baizhou's determination that there is something wrong with this hotel.

    Fiora was silent, and so was Michuan. If it was as Bai Zhou imagined, no, it was already certain that someone would be detrimental to them.

    "It's hard to imagine that idiot Hua Aofu could be so scheming." Speaking of which, Fiora and Hua Aofu from Brooke are also old acquaintances. If it weren't for him, Fiora wouldn't have fallen for Bai Zhou's thief.  Boat.

    "Hua Aungfu is a fool. If it hadn't been like this, we wouldn't have taken it lightly along the way."

    Originally, Bai Zhou and his party had their own route and would not have passed through this small town at all. If Hua Angfu hadn't considered himself a "landlord" and kept flattering all the people of Western Qin, patting his chest and talking about this small town.  The environment is very beautiful, and people from Western Qin will never stay here.

    "In other words, a fool, or a verbose fool, deceived us all?"

    Everyone was silent again.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At night, no one in Western Qin could sleep peacefully. With things developing like this, everything was nonsense.

    "What does it smell like?" In the darkness, Fiora frowned and covered her nose.

    Bai Zhou looked back at the woman whose fingers were not wet with onion water, and said with a smile: "This is smoke."

    Then Bai Zhou realized: "Damn it, it's the people under the smoke who are setting the fire."

    Bai Zhou hugged Fiora and said, "We are only on the second floor. Theoretically, you can jump from here."?There will be no problem, but do you think they won't have arrangements down there?  "

    Bai Zhou had speculated on many unfavorable "scenarios" for them, such as releasing military power over a glass of wine, such as armed deterrence, such as forced house arrest, but he never thought that the other party would directly come up and play with him to death.

    Bai Zhou asked himself that the current strength of Western Qin should not have touched the bottom line of Frederick I. In other words, even if the bloody butcher in the future now has scruples about Western Qin, he would not adopt such a desperate method that leaves no escape route.

    What's more, this was Frederick's territory. Bai Zhou believed that even if he wanted to die, he would not choose to die in the Holy Roman Empire, because doing so would only make Frederick politically passive.  , after all, no one will trust a king who has no tolerance for others.

    ¡°So it can¡¯t be Frederick.

    Is it Alberto?  Bai Zhou shook his head. If Alberto sent several professional assassins or even a small force to assassinate him in Switzerland, it would still be possible.  But within the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and involving a viscount-level noble, if Alberto really had this strength, he would have defeated his brother long ago and become the legitimate heir to the Grand Duke, instead of a long-term fight of half-measures.  .

    Miller?  Wolfgang?  The two of them don't make sense.  They had just left Basel, at most two days ahead of Bai Zhou. Even if they were involved, they would be just accomplices at most. It was impossible for the two of them or one of them to have planned the fire.

    But who could it be?  Forget it, as long as Hua Angfu can be caught, everything will come to an end.

    Several more covert soldiers realized something was wrong and rushed into Bai Zhou's room. It was so dark that almost nothing could be seen clearly.  Smoke also began to spread upstairs, and I believe that the fire will spread up soon.

    "Sir, I looked at the stairs and they haven't been burned yet. We can still go down now." A soldier said.

    But the enemy is in the dark, and the Western Qin is in the light. If you don't move, you can only be burned to death. If you can move, you may have to face something more dangerous.

    Baizhou and the others tore up the cotton sheets, sprinkled some water on them, and covered their mouths and noses to temporarily ensure smooth breathing.

    At this moment, there was a louder noise below the hotel.

    "Oh my god, what's going on, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Duke?" It was actually the voice of Hua Anfu, "I said that I have been restless the whole night. It turns out that something is really going to happen."

    Then he said: "You idiots, why don't you put out the fire quickly?"

    With that said, Hua Angfu went into battle himself. He picked up a stick of something and was about to rush into the fire. If there weren't a few attendants around him pulling him, Bai Zhou would have really wanted to see what Hua Angfu would do.  Won't run in.

    "Sir, it's a coincidence that they came at the right time." Mi Chuan felt that things could not be such a coincidence. The flames on their side had just started to move, but Hua Angfu and his men rushed to the scene as soon as possible.  Looking at it, it's hard not to feel that there is nothing fishy about it.

    "This is not the most critical issue. The most critical thing is that if we don't try to leave here, we will be dead. Now Hua Aungfu and his group are also in the open. If we go down, even if they want to attack us, thirty people will attack us.  Fifty people, they may not be able to eat us. Of course, if this is what Frederick wanted, then I'm afraid we can't hide." Bai Zhou blocked his mouth and nose with a sheet.

    The entire second floor of the hotel was rented by Sergeant Xi Qin. Except for a few guests who lived on the first floor, they escaped as soon as the fire started.

    "Lower your head." Bai Zhou hugged Fiora and pressed her head down with one hand. People in the Middle Ages didn't have much sense of self-rescue in a fire.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Ah, God bless, my lord, are you okay?" Hua Angfu looked at the ragged Bai Zhou and miraculously walked out. There was a panting woman hanging beside him, and he immediately stepped forward to flatter him.

    Hua Angfu didn¡¯t know that Bai Zhou was doubting him now, so there was nothing abnormal about his behavior, he was still so ¡°shameless¡±.

    "Fortunately, thanks to His Excellency the Viscount for rushing here this time." Bai Zhou said with a pun.

    "Haha, of course, if I can serve the Duke, no, even if I have to die for you, I will not move forward. If it weren't for the damn guards around me today, I, Hua Aofu, would have been the first to rush into the fire.  The people here." Hua Aungfu patted his chest and made a clattering sound.

    "Sir," Mi Chuan also walked over and whispered in Bai Zhou's ear: "Everyone is safe and not injured."

      Generally speaking, if a fire can be discovered at the first time, its lethality is not that terrible. If it burns up at night when everyone is sleeping and everyone is unconscious, it will be difficult to save.  .

    Since Bai Zhou had been reminded by the little girl before, he didn't sleep a wink all night, so he got through this disaster relatively safely.  But in front of him, there was a Hua Angfu who didn't know the details.

    If Hua Aofu had something to do with the fire, then Bai Zhou wouldn't believe it, because this guy was such a timid guy when Bai Zhou first met him, asking him to do such a risky thing.  It is a huge matter, let alone whether he is willing or not. Even if he is willing or is forced to agree, he must have the courage to show his face in front of Bai Zhou without changing his expression and his heart will not beat.

    As for Bai Zhou's first impression of Hua Angfu, this guy is a nobleman with no ability or courage. Let me ask, if Hua Angfu is pretending, then he needs to start it when he meets Bai Zhou for the first time.  It's hard to explain why he would do this in disguise. After all, at that time, Bai Zhou and his Xi Qin tribe were just a group of refugees who were basically at the end of their rope. They were not worth pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

    But if Hua Angfu had nothing to do with the fire, then how could he explain that all his arrangements led to the accident happening so accurately?

    Is there someone behind all this, and what¡¯s even more frightening is that Hua Aungfu himself doesn¡¯t know it?

    But who is this person?

    Bai Zhou felt a little cold, and Fiora, who was leaning against him, was also shivering. Fiora's body was cold, while Bai Zhou's heart was cold.

    Suddenly, Bai Zhou felt an uncomfortable feeling, as if he was a prey and the hunter's gun was already aimed at him.

    "Shua"

    It was the servant with a low eyebrow next to Hua Angfu. When no one noticed him, he drew a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Bai Zhou.

    The dagger stabbed straight towards Bai Zhou's throat, everyone was shocked.

    Mi Chuan had been paying attention to Hua Angfu's movements just now, fearing that he might make any move to threaten the young master, but she did not expect that there was someone else who assassinated the young master.

    "Pfft" was the sound of a dagger entering flesh, but the expected pain did not come, but I felt a trace of warm liquid flowing on my face.

    Bai Zhou opened his eyes and saw that it was Fiora, blocking the fatal blow with his body.

    "No" screamed in despair.  .
