Sinmonger Chapter 21: Deep crossing the Chencang
Chapter 21: Crossing Chencang in Darkness
Three days have passed, and the date agreed with Tianyi is tomorrow. The Count of Beauger has made preparations to bring all the priceless treasures from the temporary storage to the mansion where he lives in the city.
The Count now has only thirteen of his most loyal followers, who are extremely loyal to the exiled Grand Master of the Knights Templar, even at the cost of their lives.
With Muzio's death, his abilities naturally disappeared, and his "right eye" attached to the back of one of the Count's followers also disappeared. Of course, the parties involved were unaware of this matter, and Tian Yi did not intend to take the initiative to bring it up.
That night, the earl came to Tianyi's bookstore again. When he pushed the door in, Tianyi was sitting behind his desk as usual, fiddling with something in his hand.
The Count walked in and took a look. It was just a piece of black paper with strange symbols and graphics drawn on it. I'm afraid this is some kind of magic circle that only wizards understand.
"Master," the Count called to him.
Tianyi is folding the black paper. He starts from the shorter side, with one crease and one crease, each at the same distance. He didn't look up, but replied, "If you want to ask what this is, I can tell you, it's a ladder that stretches infinitely."
The Count understood after a moment's thought, and asked, "Is this going to be used in the tunnel you built?"
Tian Yi replied: "Yeah, unless you want your followers to slide or roll all the way with the treasure."
The earl said: "Master, so the tunnel is not finished yet?"
"No, it's already done. The generation of the ladder is the last step. This can be done on the spot. I'm too lazy to run one more time." All the treasures in the treasure have been shipped to your residence, now do you want to hear about the specific plans for tomorrow?"
The earl has long believed that Tianyi can read minds, and he was not surprised when someone told him his intentions: "Yes, please make it clear."
Tianyi said: "It's very simple, tomorrow morning, you go to hire a carriage..."
…………
The next day at four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the earl went out. He was very careful along the way, turning back every three steps and turning around every five steps, just like some games are specially used to complete tracking tasks Same.
And when I say "some games", I'm obviously not referring to beep-ok, but Assassin's Creed.
Anyway, the earl's sneaky and tiptoe behavior is very abnormal, abnormal enough to cause everyone who is watching him in the dark to cheer up.
At present, there are three organizations that have successfully tracked down the count's residence in Rome and conducted 24-hour tracking and surveillance. There were originally four organizations, but the remote monitoring of the Isaiah Monastery was handled by Tianyi a few days ago. In fact, the monastery was originally different from those organizations or individuals who responded to the secret wanted of Philip IV. Under the instructions of "a certain person", they tried to create an accidental death that did not look like an assassination for the earl. As for the secret that the Count carried, it had nothing to do with them.
Looking back at the three organizations, after they found the whereabouts of Count Beauger in Rome, in addition to the Count himself, they naturally followed the Count's entourage. The Count's actions were nothing unusual. He had been to taverns and bookstores, walked around the square, and visited the Colosseum with a guy in a black robe. The odd man seemed to be just a bookstore owner. There was nothing noteworthy about the actions of the followers.
But the day before yesterday, the watchers witnessed the earl's entourage transporting something into the city from a hidden cellar outside the city. This is the biggest breakthrough in half a month. It is absolutely necessary to keep calm, and no one will act rashly.
These people are very discreet, things are packed in boxes, they can't see what's being shipped, maybe it's valuable, maybe it's just a pile of junk. Only a fool will rush out and grab it directly, losing the advantage of hiding in the dark. If you rush out, kill a bunch of followers, open the box and see a case full of wine or a gypsy prostitute, wouldn't you be ridiculed by your peers?
Anyway, just keep following them and know where they're shipping the boxes. After the entourage left, the three organizations went in and explored the secret cellar one after another, but unfortunately, it was already empty. The earl hid the treasure separately from the gold and silver, so these people still didn't know the situation.
Just as the decision-making figures of those organizations were discussing whether to take down Count Beauger in one fell swoop and unlock the truth of those boxes, I didn't expect that today this guy came out in the dark. Everyone knows the situation of the box before, there must be something wrong here.
The three people followed the Earl all the way. When they saw this guy coming to the stables in the city, they hired a carriage and rushed back to the residence in a hurry. Then, together with the coachman, they quietly walked into their big house, and the two of them lightly moved a large box out and stuffed the box into the carriage. Then, the count also got into the chariot, and the driver rode his horse and whipped his whip and galloped away from the city of Rome.
The watchers are so excited that no matter what the big secret is on the earl, it looks like he's about to lead us.
Generally speaking, there is more than one person in charge of surveillance. Like modern police stalking, you can always take precautions. In case you go to the toilet while stalking alone, a flying saucer will land in these five minutes. , grab your target and put a giant radar in his **** or something, and you don't see it, that's the end of the human race.
Experienced and qualified units send people to follow, at least in groups of two, and the same is true for the three organizations that follow the Earl. During the day, they sometimes sent five people around, ready to divide their troops to follow the earl's entourage at any time.
Seeing the Count's behavior at this moment, everyone knows what this guy Bore is going to do. Are you planning to clean up and run away by yourself? As a result, the monitors were all divided into two groups. One person went to the organization to ask for instructions. Of course, this was the form of walking. The other person followed immediately, leaving marks for their accomplices along the way. .
As a result, the three-way party either returned or ran with the carriage, and the count's residence was left unattended. Everyone knows that the secret lies with the Earl. At this moment, the Earl and the big box that seems to be a "secret" have fled together in a hurry. Who cares about the entourage who have been thrown by the Earl.
So...about ten minutes after the carriage left, the real Count of Beauger and his twelve entourages came out of the big room together. As for the thirteenth entourage, when the count entered the house just now, he had already put on the same clothes as the count, and took advantage of the darkness before dawn to run away with the coachman carrying a large box full of stones .
The coachman is also quite inexplicable. Early in the morning, an employer came and offered a lot of money. He said he was going out of the city and packed a big box. If he didn't hear the sound of something rolling in the box, the coachman really suspected that it was Smuggling dead bodies or something.
The earl and his twelve loyal subordinates, who lost their surveillance, carried three moderately sized wooden boxes by hand and walked towards the colosseum agreed with Tianyi...

Sueyside watched the game between the advisor and Vanessa, and his brain was a little overwhelmed. The conversation was entirely based on various assumptions and their assessment of each other's wisdom, like a Two people are discussing the other n parallel universes after the multi-branching of the timeline, and the rationality of some behaviors in this universe is reversed by the reality that may have happened but not happened.
The gunsmith licked his lips and looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, as if in a daze, with an expression that seemed to say, "I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about."
"If you can ask it, it means that you have guessed the answer." The consultant listened to Vanessa's question, and said without thinking: "Your Grand Commander does not need those medieval gold and silver treasures. , and there is no need to fetch those vulgar golden sacred objects made by ancient kings. What he wants is knowledge.
Recalling the Crusaders' eastward expeditions under the banner of religion, they obtained many treasures belonging to other civilizations in the process of massacre and looting, one of which was the 'Sky Code' of the Babylonians, This thing happened to be among the Templar treasures left by Morley.
And your big head needs the knowledge hidden on it to..."
The consultant stopped here: "By the way, does the rank of the flag officer have the right to know this kind of secret? If I say it now, he will not be taken by your own people after he goes up. Mute?"
Suisid was heartbroken when he heard it. It is said that in this ruins, people's sense of fear will be weakened, but he is still nervous at the moment.
When Vanessa heard the words "Code of the Sky", she looked to the side and sighed deeply. She thought the consultant was going to finish speaking, but he really stopped. .
"That's just right~IndoMTL.com~ Don't go on, it's better not to know his level." Vanessa replied.
Suisid was completely startled, thinking: What do you mean? Is this secret really dead if you listen to it? Wait...a secret that even I don't know, but the people who reverse the cross know? Then Master Vanessa can let these guys run away? As soon as the ruins come out, she will definitely have to turn her face.
"So, is my answer satisfactory to you?" the consultant asked.
"Okay, I trust you." Vanessa snorted, "Your boss and you are both lunatics."
The consultant didn't deny it, just smiled noncommittally.
Darkwater spoke at this time, and his voice changed back to his original voice, with no emotion in his tone: "Since the two sides have reached an agreement, then this should be the last time for the issue of trust and Suspicious and wary of each other, we stopped to discuss. Next, we must act more quickly, work together, and reach the core part as soon as possible.” He walked to a handprint symbol, stretched out his hand and said, “Also, let me remind you , the current temperature is seventeen degrees Celsius."
