Jan Constantine glanced at Li Xiao and David Leboeuf, and then looked at Perrier next to him. He was relieved to see that the foreign godfathers were all missing arms and legs. He didn't find them just now.
Li Xiao and David LeBoeuf were deeply afraid that something would happen to them, so he really wanted to cry without tears.
For Jan Constantine, if anything happens to these two uncles now, nothing will happen to them. This is not only related to the relationship between Wallachia and France, but also to their brothers' wealth and property. Without those two gentlemen,
God bless them, they are such idiots!
"Mr. Leboeuf, Mr. Diomede, just hope you are fine!" Jan Constantine said happily: "I didn't see you just now, and I was worried that something had happened to you! Thank God! You are all safe!"
After saying this, this guy came up to kneel down, lick and comfort him again, but neither Li Xiao nor David LeBoeuf was interested in listening to these useless nonsense, but asked:
"Mr. Jan Constantine, what happened? Why were there gunshots?"
Yang Constantine himself was actually confused. His reaction was much slower than that of Li Xiao. When the hall was in chaos, he realized what he should do and quickly ordered the bodyguards to check the situation and guard the hall.
He opened the door to prevent any rebels from taking advantage of the situation to come in and kill him. Then he and Yang Jika calmed the guests and maintained order. After the situation was basically under control, he remembered that his two most important guests were gone, so he hurriedly found someone.
So he actually didn't know what happened, so he hesitated and couldn't give an answer. He could only comfort him softly:
"Mr. Diomede, don't be anxious, let alone panic. This is the city hall and it is heavily guarded. Even if someone makes trouble, they will be eliminated soon. And I have sent people to invite the National Guard. Your safety will never be
has a problem!"
Well, he thought Li Xiao was worried about safety issues, but how could Li Xiao be so cowardly? Although he did not go out to check what was going on, he could basically deduce from the scale of the movement that the disturbance should not be big and it was unlikely to be a rebellion.
Or a coup, because the movement is too small.
From the sound, it sounded more like an assassination operation. The assassins struck quickly and then retreated with one blow, so there was no continuous sound of firefights. The explosions were more like the assassins' methods of covering their retreat. They should have deliberately created commotion to disrupt the audio and visual.
.
Therefore, Li Xiao was really not too nervous at this time. He judged that it was probably directed at the senior leaders of the National Party and the Provisional Republic such as the Bretianu brothers, and it was not even ruled out that it was a counterattack from the landlords and nobles who had been blackmailed too hard.
.
Anyway, Li Xiao was already in the mood of watching a show at this time. He naturally wished that the situation in Bucharest would be more chaotic, the more chaotic the better, so that he could better fish in troubled waters.
However, Li Xiao's attitude of watching the excitement did not last long, because soon Vishniak hurried back. He was holding a stabbing sword in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand. He could smell it just as he approached.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Did you take action?" Li Xiao asked in shock.
Vishniak nodded, his face a little heavy: "The assassins attacked Sir Thomas Edwards' carriage. The coachman was killed on the spot, and the Sir was also injured. I shot and wounded one of the assassins, and the rest
They all ran away. Now the police are chasing them!"
Well, this brief introduction almost made Jan. Constantine and Jan. Jika almost fall down with fear. Although Thomas Edwards disgusted them, they really couldn’t have anything happen to them at this time, let alone die. The British guy was dead.
There will be a lot of trouble and it will be difficult to explain!
Immediately, Jan Constantine and Jan Gica asked sharply: "Mr. Lucien, how is Sir Thomas Edwards? Is there any danger?"
Vishniak smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not sure whether Sir is okay, because the assassin threw a bomb and the carriage was almost blown apart. Sir was stuck in the carriage and has not been rescued, but the situation is definitely not good, the bloody
Bleeded all over the floor!"
Jan. Constantine and Jan. Jika almost went dark. They were really afraid of whatever they wanted. They no longer cared about comforting and licking Li Xiao and David Leboeuf. After hurriedly confessing,
He rushed to the scene of the incident with a group of bodyguards.
"The British are probably doomed!"
After everyone left, Vishniak said: "The carriage was almost shattered. I don't believe that anyone can survive such an explosion. That knight is in danger!"
"There are a lot of assassins, at least seven or eight. It should be a well-planned operation. But I just can't figure out why they would attack the British!"
This is indeed puzzling, because what is the point of killing Sir Thomas Edwards? What is the benefit except to anger the British? It is really confusing.
Li Xiao couldn't figure out why, because this incident was weird from beginning to end. First, the knight came uninvited, and then he was suddenly attacked. Could it be that this was all arranged?
But what's the use of this arrangement? It's simply incomprehensible. Apart from irritating the British, what good does it do?
"Could it be a trick of the British?" Anton suddenly interjected and asked, "What happened to Thomas Edwards just gave them an excuse to intervene in Wallachia affairs."
This possibility is not impossible, but the question is, if this is true, how popular Sir Thomas Edwards must be before he can be pushed out as a meat pad. But according to Li Xiao’s understanding, this is Robert
Cohon's confidant, there is no reason to sacrifice a big shot like him. Even if the British want to put on a show, casually wounding and killing a casual guard is enough. There is no need to kill an important counselor.
ah!
Anyway, the whole thing is weird and inexplicable, making people confused, but it's normal for Li Xiao to not understand it, because Alexei, who organized and planned the operation, also looked frustrated at this time, because he was also inexplicable, because they
The target was the Bretian brothers, not Thomas Edwards.
But right in front of Alexei, Fontana and Barbu Stirbey, their carefully selected assassins suddenly took action on Thomas Edwards's frame. That's called a ruthless, decisive and efficient person.
, before Alexei and others could react, Thomas Edwards's frame turned into a pile of rotten wood, and the accompanying people were either dead or injured.
"What's going on? What the hell?" Barbu Shtilbey was dumbfounded.
Alexei was even more confused. The only one who woke up the fastest at the scene was Fontana. She knew that asking why now was futile and meaningless, so she categorically ordered: "Retreat immediately and implement the evacuation plan.
