Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 430 The Parents Are Here
After leaving Guo Kang, Meltem quickly came to the street corner with a few of his men.The two carried the cannon onto the carriage and left quickly, while several others followed Meltem and listened to her arrangements.

Meltem took out the note again and glanced at it.There, at the end of the row of names, there was a line of small words written: "The Queen Mother please mobilize the support of the Sisters."

Probably because he didn't want his subordinates to hear it, Guo Kang didn't explain it publicly just now, but just kept the request secretly.

Meltem thought for a moment and waved.

"Hafsa, give me the pen," she said.

A hooded girl immediately took out a pen and paper. Meltem took the pen with his left hand, quickly wrote a string of letters, and handed it to a young man next to him.

"There are several businessmen here, April, go and deal with them." She ordered: "They have guards, and they must have stepped up their vigilance at this time. But once the situation changes, these people may not be able to sit still and choose to leave the house. Divert, or take the initiative. Let your men remain patient, and take advantage of this moment to strike again."

"I will ask the Templars in the 'Golden Quarter' to help you. As usual, just send someone to inform Sir John."

"As you command, Bejim." April bowed with a straight face.

"Mustafa, go and kill these people." Meltem wrote another string of code words, tore it off and handed it to a bearded man: "There are two people who are the leaders of the caravan guard. Give them priority." Get rid of it."

"The other few people are gangsters and gangsters, and they should be on their way out now." She concluded: "Zhulinfang was the first place to make a fuss, and there must be someone heading there with a large number of people, and there must be people heading there. It is difficult to walk on the small road, and if there are many people, they will definitely take the main road. Therefore, you conduct surveillance at the main entrance and exit of Fang District, and then search along the road from Zhulinfang to Alexander's residence."

"Now that the residents are excited, they will definitely be disturbed during their march, and even conflicts will break out. It will not be difficult to find them. While these people are delayed, you can kill the leaders - remember to kill the best in the organization. Bring all the shooters. You probably won't be able to handle it all by yourself, so let Ali arrange their positions." She continued to give instructions.

"Yes, Miss." Mustafa even used a Chinese title and answered with a smile.

"The reward this time is very high. They promised to give us a batch of precious products - real Iberian ham, not fake Italian bacon." Meltem emphasized again: "Everyone must work harder. .”

"The goals are complicated, the time is tight, and the execution will be more complicated, so the proportion of reward distribution should be increased this time. You can keep half of the reward for yourself. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Everyone was very happy and agreed.

Today's "Assassin Order" is very loose and can no longer be compared to the organization that terrified the Levant lords in the past.Today's managers, if they want to command their subordinates, not only must have prestige, but they must also pay them in real terms.

This time the situation is indeed urgent, but the reward Guo Kang promised is indeed very generous.

Iberia has a tradition of herding pigs, and the locals have a long history of making pickled foods.After the Reconquista began, the church became increasingly vigilant due to the intensity of the conflict, and conducted rigorous searches for traitors every day.In order to show that they have nothing to do with Tianfang religion or Judaism, the residents simply make cured meat in every household and even hang it directly on the doorstep of their homes as a sign to avoid being picked on.

In this environment, the local production technology "involved", and over time it became famous. It was appreciated by the princes of the Tianfang Sect and was sold throughout the Mediterranean.

In Asia Minor and the Levant, sultans and emirs imported many high-quality ingredients every year as part of their "palace cuisine."As long as the quality is good enough, palace merchants will spend a lot of money to buy it.Therefore, even if you don’t enjoy it yourself, it is easy to sell it. In fact, it is a kind of “hard currency”.Of course everyone was happy to accept it.

Meltem nodded, confirming it.

"Hafsa, come with me." Meltem said, took out a watch from his arms, opened the cover and looked at it: "You must arrange all the personnel within half an hour. On August [-] Before the hour, you have to start taking action - Oops, I forgot, my brother only gave me this watch. But churches in the city will ring their bells on time, so you can all use that time as the standard. Do you understand? ?”

"Understood." Several people replied.

April, Mustafa and others left quickly, while Hafsa hesitated, then leaned into Meltem's ear and whispered to her: "Bejim, we already know the origin of this watch, so You don’t have to say it again every time…”

"Huh?... That's it." Meltem was a little embarrassed, but he covered it up a little and immediately put it behind him: "I understand. Let's leave quickly."

"Where to go?" Hafsa asked.

"Maria Monastery in Mongolia." Meltem said: "Follow me, first go to the Queen Mother and ask her to help. Then I will go to the temple and call more people; you go outside the city and tell Dio The situation here with Princess Dora.”

"Princess?" Hafsa confirmed with her again: "If the princess knows, she will definitely take Mr. Guo away first and then take care of other things..."

"Tsk." Meltem scratched his head unwillingly and said as he walked: "There is nothing we can do about it. She is the one who can mobilize the most power now. We can only ask her for help first and resolve the crisis before talking about anything else."

"Hey, who made us so weak?" She shook her head and complained.

Hafsa hesitated again for a moment, then asked: "Then do we still need to go to the Queen Mother first?"

"We still have to go there." Meltem sighed: "Although the relationship is not very close, the Sisters are theoretically a subordinate organization of the church. My brother previously applied to request the church to provide support for frontline personnel, so theoretically On the other hand, the nuns can indeed be mobilized to support him."

"If it were an ordinary nunnery, it would be good to be able to protect itself. It is indeed difficult to undertake such a dangerous mission, but it is different here. Everyone in the entire metropolis knows her hobbies. These people have never gone to war before, right? ?”

"People who practice martial arts will inevitably have the idea of ​​participating in actual combat to test their skills, and they should be willing to take action. And after all, it is just a turmoil in the city, not a real battlefield. If this doesn't work, they themselves may not be willing to do so. "

"This sounds similar to the sororities in my hometown," Hafsa said. "I understand. This is indeed a solution."

"This is not only the impact of the battle itself, but also obviously for the aftermath." Meltem told her: "The status of Queen Elizabeth is very special here."

"On the one hand, she was not very involved in the political affairs of the court. In Rome, 'Baselisa' was actually a public office, and the Queen Mother did not hold this position, so she was isolated from daily administrative affairs and far away from power. core."

"But on the other hand, the Queen Mother has a close relationship with many important figures in the Roman Khanate. She is of high seniority. It is said that all the leaders and main members of the family, including the Guo family, were taught by her. Passed. People like her, even without actual positions, can have a huge influence on the political situation."

"So, this plan is actually very good. It would be better to ask her to come forward now, because there are some gray things that require such a person to take action." Meltem finally said.

"So that's it. I still didn't think about it that much." Hafsa admitted.

"We must understand some political rules after all." Meltem said with emotion: "If you want to survive well, you can't just have martial arts."

As they talked, the two bypassed a large group of noisy citizens and went all the way to the next block. They found that the place was already in chaos. There were many people gathered outside a store. They had just broken down the door and were busy moving out the inside. s things.

"Have they all been robbed? This reaction speed is faster than that of the gang leader." Hafsa muttered.

"Gangs need organization, but local gangsters don't need to commit robberies." Meltem was not too surprised: "Go this way." They avoided that side and entered a nearby alley.However, a skinny young man in tattered clothes squatted at the entrance of the alley, and he noticed them at once.

"There is a woman!" The man stood up and shouted, "There is a woman over here!"

Several people moving things nearby immediately turned their heads and looked over.Those who move quickly have already dropped the goods in their hands and run towards this side first, lest others get there first.But Meltem moved faster. She didn't dodge, and in an instant she pulled out the knife from under her robe and cut the young man's throat.

Several people who had already run over saw the corpse lying down with blood spurting out, and immediately ran away at a faster speed.The gangsters who were looting supplies also dispersed.

"What's wrong with this guy all of a sudden?" Meltem complained.

"Maybe I saw your face." Hafsa looked up at the sky and replied: "The moon is in that direction, and it can illuminate your face just right. You were facing that way just now, so he could see it. .”

Meltem quickly pulled up his scarf and covered his face.But Hafsa shook her head.

"There's no need to be so nervous - in fact, even if you can't see their faces, they will still be in heat." She explained: "The Greeks in the city have similar hobbies to the Emirs. Seeing your figure and facial profile, even if If you are a man, they will pounce on you too.”

"Uh..." Meltem couldn't answer the question for a moment.

Hafsara pulled her and quickly got into the alley.This seems to be a dead end, and there is a wall at the end of the alley. No wonder someone is blocking it here.Ordinary women—or men—could be in real trouble.

But they were both very skilled and jumped up easily, quickly climbed over the wall and left the neighborhood.

After leaving here, they rushed to a nearby warehouse.This is one of their "headquarters".Meltem planned to replenish some supplies here and then ride to see the Queen Mother.

The two quickly arrived at their destination and were ready to find the supporting members.Meltem opened the door and was about to call someone when he saw a stern-looking middle-aged woman standing in the middle of the hall.Several people who managed the warehouse were hiding aside, not daring to express their aura.

"Mother?" Meltem was also surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come here?" the other party asked: "But you, you went to meet the boy from the Guo family again?"

"This time... is the situation urgent?" Meltem's eyes flickered and he found a reason: "I'm afraid there will be a big chaos in the city, mother. We can't wait for such a big thing."

"I've told you, but you still don't take it seriously." The woman shook her head, looking a little angry: "There won't be any good results if you hang out with their men. Then you won't be the only one who will be sad. What?"

"Do you really think you can compete with Bai Saihan's daughter, the sworn sister who stares at him every day? Be realistic." She whispered: "This boy is just like his father, he looks honest, but his behavior is carefree. man. Don’t be fooled by him.”

"That kind of thing... you've already said it, I remember it." Meltem prevaricated: "This time it's not just his problem. There's such a big commotion in the city, and things can't end casually. It's not just his problem. It’s Zhulinfang. Afterwards, the entire Xiacheng District’s power will be reorganized. We must do something.”

"Now if we stand on the right team and make actual contributions, then we will definitely get huge benefits from it. This is a big reshuffle in the 'city of desire for the world'. As long as we can get a little bit of light, we won't have to Displaced."

This was indeed the truth, and Meltem said it so sincerely that his mother could not refute it.In the end, the woman could only sigh again.

"Follow me to see the Queen Mother." She said to Meltem: "Hafsa, don't follow her crazy. I have other tasks. You go contact Nahir. She has connections there. .Ask her to send people to follow you."

"Okay, Chief." Hafsa bowed and said.

"In the amphitheater in the Golden District, there is an actor who calls himself Eudosus. I can now confirm that this person is a woman pretending to be a woman." The woman introduced the task to her: "The boy from the Guo family, in the triumphal ceremony The next night, he suddenly armed his servants and ran wild at night. According to what we know, before that, he and the eldest son of the Li clan leader had just met the actor."

"What's even more strange is that on the next day, a fringe member of the Shi family named Shi Huizhen suddenly took action and snatched this man away in the city. This man had a bad reputation. Some people suspected that she had deliberately captured him. People seek fame, or for pleasure. But we found that she took the person to a detention point in the church in the east of the city and left. Before the action, the boys from the Guo family also had contact with her. "

"This Guo..." Hafsa thought for a moment and seemed to realize the importance of Guo Kang's role: "He was also the one who led people to cause trouble today."

"Yes. Unfortunately, although we know his movements, we don't know what he means." The woman nodded.

"The information on the trends is absolutely reliable. I've been keeping an eye on it myself. Hehe..." Meltem felt a little proud, but his mother glared at him again, so he had to quickly control his expression.

"I think this person may be a key figure. From her, we should be able to learn more information to prevent us from making misjudgments." She glanced at Meltem: "Guo's words may not be reliable. We still need Other sources.”

"However, in the evening, while the priests were praying, the actor escaped from the church. She obviously had some training. Our informant was not a member of Assassin and could not catch up with her. I need You go investigate this matter and track her movements. It would be best if you can catch her and ask the question clearly."

"This matter involves a lot, so you must be careful. I am really weak, otherwise, I will go there myself." She shook her head: "I believe in your ability, so do it well, Hafsa."

"Thank you, madam. I will try my best." Hafsa saluted again, stroking her chest. When the other party nodded, she left the room.

The woman watched her leave and looked at Meltem again: "I just saw April and Mustafa running away in a hurry. What did you say to them to make them so active?"

"Well, one target, half a ham..." Meltem had to admit.

"Ham..." The woman frowned helplessly.

"It's okay if Elder Hussein and Elder Hassan don't know." Meltem said quickly: "Ah, yes, it doesn't matter if they know. We are operating in a city that worships God, so we don't want to eat some of their food temporarily. It’s nothing.”

"Besides, if they don't want it, it's easy to get rid of it. If it's too troublesome, you can just pay them another equivalent amount. I'll handle all the ham myself..."

"Can you eat so much? We are not having fun in the palace, so don't overeat." The woman had nothing to say. She could only make a request from the perspective of health: "It is really a virtue to follow your father and your uncles. …”

Meltem had no choice but to fool around with a silly smile.

The woman shook her head and dragged Meltem towards the stables behind the warehouse.

　Yuanshen cultural shirts are ready, you can search the store "Mobei Whole Life Movement" to see them.

　　I'll make a few more later when I have time, and put them over there too
