chapter 285, chapter 286
After hearing Xie Feng's words, Sean finally reacted - his body suddenly shook, and he almost lost his grip on the dagger in his hand.
Xie Feng saw Sean's abnormal reaction. Then he sighed deeply and said sadly: "It turns out it's really you, Teacher Xieer."
Sean did not comment on Xie Feng's words, standing straight in front of Xie Feng, looking at Xie Feng eagerly.
Seeing that something unexpected happened down the valley, Count Clais was not in a hurry to shout "start" and quietly watched the situation down the valley.
Xie Feng's eyes were red, his body was trembling, and he said sadly: "Teacher, why do you have to hide yourself like this anymore? I know it's you."
After listening to Xie Feng's words, Sean's body shook again, and then he seemed to have made a lot of determination. He raised his hands and reached behind his head to fiddle with it. Then, the turban and mask were taken off and fell to the ground.
What appears under the mask is a slightly older face. And the most conspicuous thing is the long scar on the face, starting from the forehead and extending to the corner of the left eye... It is surprisingly the face of Sher
An unforgettable face!
Xie Xie looked at Xie Feng, sighed deeply, and then said: "Did you see it?"
Xie Feng nodded and said with a sad smile: "Although you tried your best to hide your moves last time, I can still tell that the moves you used seem a bit familiar to me."
There was no emotion or anger on Xieer's face, and he just said calmly: "Is it because of this?"
Xie Feng shook his head and said: "Of course not. This reason alone is not enough for me to know that you, teacher, are Sean Auditore."
"Oh?" Sher asked, "What else is there?"
Xie Feng said: "Emilio, the green forest bandit king I met when I participated in the first actual combat experience, Emilio."
Xie Xie didn't respond at all, obviously waiting for Xie Feng to finish what he said.
Xie Feng sighed, organized the words in his mind, and then said slowly: "You once told me that Emilio was an abandoned baby adopted by your father. Later, after joining the army, he became famous. With the big gun in his hand,
The ax and its own bravery were called the 'Blood Ax Lion'. Then, one night, Svadia's army invaded Adren, and Emilio's wife died. And the lord of Adren that night
But it was because he was drunk at the banquet that he was unable to stop the army from going to the rescue. Emilio was filled with grief and anger, blaming all the blame for his wife's death on Lord Edlon, and then wanted to assassinate Lord Edlon to avenge his wife. But
I accidentally exposed my deeds, fled my country, and became a bandit. Is that right?"
Sher nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I said."
Xie Feng said: "But, later I heard others say that Adren has always been very poor because of its remote location, so for decades, even robbers have not bothered to patronize it." As he said that, Xie Feng looked at Xie Er's eyes and said,
Sher appeared very calm and did not seem to have any mood swings.
Xie Feng continued: "But, something inexplicable happened. The only invasion in decades was the invasion of Swadia. After they came to Adren, they didn't steal anything, they just attacked people they saw.
Kill--and Emilio's wife was killed in that invasion."
Saying that, Xie Feng looked up at the sky, and continued: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence. Since we didn't rob anything, then what was the purpose of Swadia's invasion of Adren? But it happened again
I was able to pick the night when Lord Edlon got drunk at the banquet. I have never been able to figure this out, and I have never been able to figure it out..."
Xie Feng turned around, looked at Xie Xie, and continued: "At that time, I had a very bold idea in my mind: Could there be such a person, such an organizational force, in order to shake the blood that made the world famous at that time?
What's the plan set up by the "Ax Mad Lion"? If you think about it that way, then the whole incident becomes logical-selecting Lord Edlen to attend the banquet that night, and then letting Swadia's soldiers go to the banquet that night.
Invading Adren and killing Emilio's wife made Emilio want to kill Lord Adren for revenge. In that case, no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, Emilio would become a traitor to the Kingdom of Nord. At that time, I analyzed
Well, if we want to achieve this goal, we must first meet three conditions. First, this person or organizational force has something to do with Swadia. Otherwise, I can’t figure out what reason there would be to order Swadia’s soldiers to
To invade Adren, and only kill people, not steal things - of course, a better explanation is that the organizational force is the Kingdom of Swadia itself, because in this way, it is the Kingdom of Swadia that directly benefits - at that time, Swadia
The Kingdom of Wadia is at war with the Kingdom of Nord, and the existence of the 'Blood Ax Lion' is really giving Swadia a headache; secondly, it is intelligence. You must choose a day when the lord of Adren is not there -
-Of course, it is best when he goes to have fun. This way can ensure the success of the invasion and arouse Emilio's anger towards Lord Edlen. The third is provocation. Anger alone may not be enough
, because even if Lord Edlen did something wrong, it is actually something that is difficult to avoid - it is impossible for the lord to stay by the territory without leaving, and it is not easy to station troops in the village. In fact, as long as you calm down and think about this
If things happen, you will be relieved. If you want the plan to succeed, then at this time, you need to have someone beside you to fan the flames and even plan a revenge plan for him. And this person must be someone Emilio can trust."
As he said that, Xie Feng stared into Xie's eyes and said coldly: "Although the first condition is necessary, it is not very important for the analysis of the problem. The second two conditions allow me to filter out possible people.
——The first person who could easily satisfy these two conditions was you, Mr. Sher, who came to my mind at that time."
Sher smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Xie Feng said helplessly: "At that time, I knew this was a very bold and even very stupid idea. How could I doubt my teacher? But later, for some reason, I sent a subordinate to Kristina
The princess inquired about relevant matters - I don't know why I did that at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid I was trying to find evidence and reasons to clear the teacher of your suspicions." As he said that, Xie Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Said: "However, the information that was fed back surprised me - not only did it not help you, teacher, to clear your suspicions, but it made me believe that this matter at least has something to do with you, teacher."
Xie Feng sighed and said: "I asked my subordinates to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Christina for information about this matter, as well as your and Emilio's background. As you said, in the military aircraft data room in Sageson,
According to a backup record of a certain Nord Kingdom soldier roster, you and Emilio were indeed recruited into the army at the same time and at the same place. The roster also specifically stated that you lived together and were a family.
There is no problem. Moreover, the story of Emilio’s assassination of Lord Edron is roughly the same as what you said, and it is almost exactly the same.”
Sher smiled and said: "What I said is true, but it proves that the matter has something to do with me?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Xie Feng said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Christina finally trusted me and told me some confidential information at that time." As he said that, Xie Feng stared into Xie's eyes and spoke word by word.
: "The reason why Emilio's assassination failed was because of your report!"
Sher smiled and said: "So what? I didn't want him to assassinate Lord Edlen in the first place, so it's reasonable to report him - otherwise I wouldn't have persuaded him to surrender on his way to escape."
"No!" Xie Feng shook his head and said, "It's normal for you to report. This is not a problem. The problem is - you reported it too late."
Sher said with great interest: "Is it still too late to report? Even if it is late, what's the problem?"
Xie Feng said: "The problem is big - you could have reported it earlier, then Emilio's assassination operation would not have started, and he would not have become a traitor to the Kingdom of Nord. At most, he would have been transferred and criticized and educated.
It's like a thief who wants to steal something. If he is discovered when he first has this idea, he will be scolded at most. If he is only discovered when his hand has touched someone else's wallet, he will go to jail.
"
Sher smiled and asked: "What does 'could have reported earlier' mean?"
Xie Feng said: "You should have known for a long time that Emilio wanted to assassinate Lord Edlen. Although you are not biological brothers, you have lived under the same roof for so many years. Although you cannot say that you are brothers, you can at least trust each other.
.If he wants to assassinate Lord Edlen, he will definitely come to you, his trusted elder brother, for advice and discussion - when it comes to assassination, your experience and ability are more than ten times that of his?"
Sher's face was still smiling, but it became serious.
Xie Feng continued: "So, from the beginning, you knew about his assassination plan - it may even be the assassination plan you designed for him!"
Xie Feng took a breath and continued: "However, maybe because he didn't want to drag you down, he implemented this plan by himself. However, on the night when he implemented the plan, you went to report it. When reinforcements arrived,
By then, Emilio was about to start an attack - as you described, his plan failed to succeed because of such an accident, and he only cut off one of Lord Edron's arms. If you
If you really want to report it, you will never report it just before the assassination takes place, so that Emilio will not make such a big mistake!"
"So!" Xie Feng stared into Xie Er's eyes and said, "To sum up, I think you, Xie Er, are the one who single-handedly caused Emilio's tragedy."
The smile on Sher's face has disappeared and turned expressionless. Then he asked: "Even so, is there any inevitable connection with me being Sean Auditore?"
Xie Feng said: "I just said that to complete this entire plan, three conditions must be met: Swadia, intelligence, and incitement. Now, you have met two conditions, and I also know through other channels that you are exactly
People who participate in the plan. So, doesn’t it just mean that you also meet the first condition?”
Sher nodded and said: "So, when I fought with you the night before yesterday and you discovered that my moves were a bit familiar, and since I was Sean Auditore, you naturally overlapped the two identities?
"
Xie Feng smiled helplessly: "Originally there were many questions, and I wasn't sure, but I couldn't think of other possibilities. So I tried it with a dubious attitude - the result was terrible.
The attempt was successful, and any trace of luck in my heart was shattered."
Sher laughed: "It feels bad, doesn't it?"
Xie Feng nodded and said: "It's very bad. It turns out that you have served in Nord for so long and have been collecting intelligence for Swadia. But Nord also appointed you as a spy to collect intelligence for them - no wonder I have been wondering,
Based on your ability, teacher, you have always been only "a little famous". Moreover, you were brought to Nord and grew up at a very young age, becoming an out-and-out Nord. In this way, you have always appeared to be innocent.
It arouses suspicion. This 'Mission: Impossible' trick is really brilliant!"
Xie Er smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Xie Feng sighed deeply and said: "It would be great if you returned to Swadia after retiring from Nord, and then I wouldn't have met you..."
Sher said: "That's not possible. Although I have retired on the Nordic side, I still have a mission on the Swadia side. I have to keep an eye on the military trends of the Nordic Kingdom at all times."
Xie Feng smiled slightly: "That's really hard for you. You have to continue working after you retire here."
Xie Er also smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm not too tired."
Seeing that the two of them were actually chatting, Count Clais in the valley yelled angrily: "What are you talking about? Sean! Get ready!"
Hearing this, Xieer immediately prepared his fighting posture like a conditioned reflex, and said to Xie Feng: "Come on, let me see how much you have improved."
Hearing this, Xie Feng put the Atonement Soul-Suppressing Sword back into its scabbard, and with a flash of his hand, the Assassin's Dagger appeared in his hand. He was also ready to fight, and said to Xie Xie: "You must have been very disappointed with me the night before yesterday, right?"
Sher smiled slightly: "It's already beyond my expectation."
