Chapter 128 The Meuse Escape
In the middle of the night, the mansion of Archbishop Mus of the Holy Empire was quiet on the surface, but the sound from time to time proved that the people inside were not asleep. Archbishop Meuse has been in a rather bad situation recently. The new pope is suspicious of him, and a series of divine punishments are indeed expected. There is almost no effective suppression of continuous rebellions and riots, and some of them have not even grasped information in advance, which makes many ministers very dissatisfied with divine punishment.
Of course, one of the most important tasks of divine punishment is to supervise the words and deeds of ministers, which is also one of the reasons why it is now attacked by many bishops. Because this is originally an offending job, everyone is usually tightly suppressed by divine punishment, and most of them dare not say anything. Now the divine punishment has a poor record, so the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and everyone sued the new pope for the divine punishment department for bad deeds.
The new Pope Arnold is planting his cronies in various departments, and the muuse belonging to the non-Arnold faction is naturally not trusted by the new Pope Arnold. The lack of necessary trust makes the muse more uncertain about his future situation. After all, as the supreme commander of divine punishment, the quality of his work is not satisfactory, and the muuse has no advantage in loyalty, so he has become the target of Arnold's focus.
At a critical juncture when he could no longer make mistakes easily, the trembling Muse, who had to do anything, received a news that made him tremble all over this evening. In the north of the empire, the commander of Baoken, who held heavy troops, finally completed the internal cleaning and ascended to the throne that everyone dreamed of. And in this matter, the divine punishment still did nothing. Hearing the news, the muuse felt that he should be ready to run away. This is the scene of preparing the whole family to escape.
For so many years, Meuse has indeed paved a way for himself. His father-in-law is a great priest and is the highest officer in North Dafoss Province in the upper reaches of the Dafos River in the south. One of his cronies is also the highest officer in South Dafoss Province in the lower reaches of the Dafos River. In addition, the Meuse family has been In the Bak Province of the battalion, the number of provinces that Muse actually controls in the south has reached as many as three, with about 200,000 troops in his hands, and the Southern Province has been supported by two unknown forces in recent years. Mues clearly knows clearly that one is from the Eternal Night Empire and the other from the distant island of Rome.
"Clean up quickly. We have to leave early this morning. Do you want to be hanged?" The muuse cleaned up his golden ticket in the room and whispered to his wife.
"God bless, that vase is worth at least 3,000 gold coins. Be careful!" Muse's wife did not respond to his words, but shouted to a servant who was stuffing paper into the vase to relieve shocks.
"Are you out of your mind? We are running away! Not traveling! Are you still carrying a vase? Muse was dissatisfied with his wife's indistingutive appearance and scolded her.
"Oh, my God, who stepped on my foot!" A maid exclaimed a little louder.
"Shut up and shout so loudly that you want to be found?" Immediately, a housekeeper suppressed his voice and warned the maid.
The muuse came to his living room, where several people stood motionless. They were the most powerful killers of divine punishment. These people had never spoken, just like several statues.
"You have always been my favorite subordinates, and I have been cultivating you carefully. Today, I'm going to leave the Holy Empire forever. Would you like to follow me and create a brand-new future together?" Muse looked at his most proud subordinates and asked.
"My subordinates are willing to advance and retreat together with adults." Several people said together. A handsome man with blonde hair said in a hoarse voice, "Those who block adults, die!"
"Very good, No. 1, worthy of being the best killer in the world, I'm very gratified. Let's go right away." Meuse smiled and said that he was in a good mood at this moment. These killers he cultivated were his pride and did not leave him now, indicating that his cultivation was successful, which is easy to make people feel a sense of achievement.
After a while, several carriages rushed out of the back door of Archbishop Meuse's residence and flew in different directions to the gates of the holy city of Caen. The muuse dismissed the servants, gave them a large amount of money, and sent them to places such as the Lovik Empire or the Northern Holy Empire in a carriage to disturb and confuse the pursuers who might follow.
Sure enough, the next morning, the news of the independence of the northern army spread to the holy city. Arnold, who learned the news, angrily broke the table in front of him.
"Come on, gather the 200-person royal guard to go to the residence of the muses!" Arnold fiercely summoned the Royal Guard to summon the muses. There is no one in the office of the muses in the papal chamber, which has been confirmed.
Arnold waited for the arrival of the muuse in the conference room with a gloating bishops, but waited for the news that the whole family of the muse was going to hollow out. A guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Archbishop Mues's house is empty and his belongings have been taken away."
Arnold, who was angry, almost fainted on the spot. He was furious and immediately ordered to send cavalry to chase separately: "Chake me! There are many rewards for catching it back! Don't let go of this traitor who eats inside and outside. I'm going to smash him ten thousand pieces!"
After a while, an officer came in and said respectfully to Arnold, "Your Majesty. According to the news obtained by the city guards, several almost identical carriages escaped from several gates at the same time.
"Cunning muuse!" Arnold slapped the deputy of the chair again and looked at the officer who came in to report. He asked, "What can you do?"
"I suggest chasing separately. According to the character of Meuse, he will definitely think in advance that we will pursue him, and he will definitely choose an escape route that he thinks is the best." The officer bowed his head and said.
"Go on." Arnold narrowed his eyes and motioned the officer to continue his analysis.
"He must have run south, where his father-in-law is." The officer said directly.
"Not necessarily, it is also relatively closer to the army of Iangbaton. It's still the same whether Muth dares go. In this way, the main force will pursue north and send an ordinary army to search south." Arnold said arbitraryly, and the officer opposite him immediately nodded and left.
Due to Arnold's personal analysis, the main force of the pursuit force was deployed in the north. The most unfortunate thing was that the housekeepers and maids protected by the two divine killers were intercepted in the small town north of the Holy Empire. After a fierce battle, the two killers killed all the poor servants and committed suicide in the house.
