Chapter 97: Armed with a sharp weapon and intent on murder!
Under the gloomy night, the bells sounded leisurely.
The brightly lit Immortal Fortress is still bustling during the day, and on the broad streets extending in all directions, crowds of people can be seen everywhere.
A towering complex of buildings near the center.
This is the aristocratic area of the Noxus Empire. Many people can be seen on the clean and flat streets, as well as many patrolling capital guards.
Walking along the street to the southwest, you can see a towering castle.
The shining lights fall on the dome, and the golden glazed tiles reflect the brilliant light, which is luxurious and elegant.
Under the glazed dome, there are tall columns, wide courtyards and stretching buildings.
All demonstrate the outstanding status and majesty of the castle.
At the same time, the interior design of the castle is also unique, with the solemnity of the Noxus Empire and the simple and elegant artistic style.
Elegant corridor in the courtyard.
A housekeeper with an old face wearing a black dress walked quickly, with beads of sweat visible on his wrinkled cheeks.
"Lord Baron, there is urgent news." The old butler with gray temples bent down and spoke softly to the gorgeous room at the end of the corridor.
“What’s the news?”
After waiting for a while, a confused voice came from the gorgeous room.
It was accompanied by the sound of dogs barking and the sounds of certain animals chewing food.
"The military department seems to have begun investigating the matter of the imperial pension." The old butler said respectfully.
"Oh, did you react so quickly?" The anxious voice continued, getting to the core of the matter.
“What went wrong?”
“According to the source, it was the Gray Wolf Gang from the Gray Slums. They encountered several Noxian soldiers and were missing. Shortage of manpower leads to leakage of information. ”
"Then let the people from the Imperial Military Headquarters take action. Some mud-legged people in the ditch can be slaughtered when they are full."
"Okay. It's just that those Noxian soldiers are difficult to deal with. "The old housekeeper paused and said hesitantly.
“The battle group they are in is directly under General Darius.”
“It’s difficult to deal with? Is it because the price is not enough?” The anxious voice seemed to have regained consciousness, and began Petting the animals in the room will cause barking.
"Well, I'm afraid of attracting the attention of General Darius." The old housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and advised softly.
The reputation of the Hand of Noxus has long spread throughout the Empire.
Especially when the chaos has just subsided, no one wants to mess with the imperial general who controls most of the military power.
"Okay!" The voice was a little helpless.
"Then let's change the direction. Since we can't deal with these Noxian soldiers who just came off the battlefield, let's deal with the people who have problems."
"Okay, then I'll Arrange it as soon as possible," the old housekeeper replied.
"Hmm, let's get rid of my hands and feet. I don't want to leave any traces at this moment."
"If necessary..."
Guchi! Guchi!
In the gorgeous room, the sudden sound of barking and swallowing suppressed the conversation between the two people.
In the end, I only saw the old housekeeper, walking away in a hurry.
Outside the Noxus capital, a hill camp.
The sky has just brightened, and the dark night is gradually replaced by the soft morning light.
A layer of soft mist gradually enveloped the entire camp, floating with the cold wind, refreshing and tranquil.
Woo! Woohoo! Woohoo!
Suddenly, a dull horn sounded, breaking the tranquility under the morning light.
Huo Jixing exited the state of introspection, opened his red eyes, looked at the completely revived camp, and realized that something had happened.
Put on armor and hang a long knife from your waist.
He immediately came to the first floor and saw the sword boy Heini who was ready to go.
The two left their residence together and walked quickly along the narrow streets. On the way, they saw a Noxian soldier with a solemn expression.
"Has it entered a state of war?" Huo Jixing thought thoughtfully.
It seems that Wilson's actions are not slow. The Imperial Military Department has begun a thorough investigation of the pension matter and has asked the Northland battle group outside to prepare.
"As expected of Darius, the embezzling of the pension aroused his anger."
Just when he arrived at the camp gate, he happened to see someone familiar.
Captain Farong! He is the leader of the hill camp.
Huo Jixing looked at Captain Farong, who was wearing silver-gray heavy armor and holding a hammer in front of him, with confusion on his face.
“Xing!” Captain Farong walked up to Huo Jixing and spoke in a solemn voice.
"Lord Benn, what's the matter?" Huo Jixing asked, his eyes falling on the Noxian soldiers behind Captain Farong who were closing the giant door of the camp.
“There’s a problem with DeWitt!”
Hearing Captain Farong’s dull voice, Huo Jixing narrowed his eyes instantly and held the handle of the knife tightly with his left hand.
"Don't be kidding"
As Huo Jixing spoke, his expression darkened, his naked murderous intent undisguised.
He glanced at Captain Farong, then at the closed giant door of the camp, then turned around and left, quickly heading to DeWitt's residence.
It seems that the martial law in the camp is not only due to Wilson's order, but there are also problems within the camp.
Camp rest area.
Huo Jixing stood quietly in front of a sturdy wooden house surrounded by Noxian martial law.
The door opened from the inside, and a lot of blood was sprinkled on the clean and tidy ground. The body of Moore's widow lay coldly on the ground.
The almost skeleton-like child in his arms also completely lost the breath of life.
Even in the face of death, Moore's widow was protecting her children, but in the end she could not prevent death from coming.
Near the wooden door, there were two Noxian soldiers wearing sharp armor lying quietly, also losing their lives.
But it looked like there were no fatal injuries.
"Suicide by taking poison!" Captain Farong kicked the bodies of two Noxian soldiers and spoke in a deep voice.
“Through the fatal injuries, it can be confirmed that Moore’s widow was killed by two people.”
“Dewit was also attacked by them and suffered a heart injury. He is being rescued. The situation is quite optimistic. "
Huo Jixing took deep breaths continuously to suppress the almost out-of-control emotions in his heart.
"Tsk, tsk, your hands are really long, you can reach into the camp!" He looked at Captain Farong, his expression as calm as water.
"I will give you an explanation!" Captain Farong said solemnly.
As the camp commander, he must be responsible for the soldiers under his command doing such things.
The order passed down late last night made Captain Farong realize that what was happening in front of him was not simple.
He turned around and walked behind him, giving orders to his guards, and then the guards ran in different directions to convey Captain Farong's orders.
"I'm waiting for your news!" Huo Jixing said to Captain Farong who returned.
Immediately afterwards, he left the rest area with the sword boy Heini.
Captain Farong looked at Huo Jixing's back and was about to take a step to catch up, but finally hesitated and chose to watch Huo Jixing leave.
Back to your residence.
Huo Jixing looked at the clear sky, then at the camp under martial law, and shook his head gently.
"Haini, go get your weapon oil, I want to use it!"
"Okay, Captain!"
Haini noticed that Huo Jixing was depressed deep in his heart. He quickly ran back to his room and took out his collection of weapon oil.
Clang!
Huo Jixing took out the long knife from his waist, looked at the red eyes reflected in the blade, and spoke softly.
"Can a slum gang influence the Noxian camp?"
Perhaps the joke was so funny that Huo Jixing couldn't help but chuckle.
While smiling wantonly, he took Heini's weapon oil and applied it on the long knife.
Spread the weapon oil and apply it carefully, little by little, along the slender blade, not sparing the handle and blade.
Then use a clean white rag and gently wipe it until it glows with a biting cold light.
