Chapter 26 The Robber's Conspiracy
Everything can be cute, so isn’t the author very cute——by the author who covered his face
-
After four days without any surprise or danger, Gao Long and Altaïr arrived in Damascus all the way.

In the villages outside Damascus, it seemed that several places were burning with thick smoke, and the villagers walking felt a sense of sadness.

"What's going on here?" Altaïr asked a villager walking beside them.

"Don't mention it. Yesterday, a group of robbers came to attack Damascus, but because there were more guards there, they gave up after a dozen people died. The rest of the robbers attacked our village. There are not many militias in our village. Because of the proximity to Damascus, the lord here does not allow us to have too many private soldiers. Almost every household was plundered, but fortunately the city defense army rushed over and reduced the losses. Alas, what a crime. "The grief in the villager's heart was conveyed to Altaïr and Gao Long through words, and the two shook their heads. This kind of thing is not something they can solve.

Close to the city wall of Damascus, there are obviously many more patrolling soldiers on the city wall.Defensive equipment such as pits against horses were also erected at the gate of the city.

As soon as Altaïr and Gao Long wanted to approach, they were stopped by "Stop, show your identities, otherwise you will be treated as robbers!"

A small group of soldiers approached the two with weapons in hand. Altaïr seemed to have been prepared, and took out something like a manual from the package.

The squad leader took it and looked at it, "Sorry sir, you can't enter Damascus now."

"Why?" Gao Long asked
"Because the siege incident just happened, we need to be on guard. Although you are walking merchants, we cannot let you enter the city at this time. If you need to rest in the village outside for a few days, wait until you can open the city. After the door, we will send someone to notify you." It seems that the team leader is already very fluent in speech, and it seems that he has persuaded many businessmen who come here to do business.

No wonder before that, bustling sounds could be heard in the village tavern, which was completely different from the atmosphere outside the village.

"Let's go there first." Altaïr pointed to the tavern.

After seeing the two people leave, the team leader also breathed a sigh of relief. He has been really busy recently. Because of the tasks assigned by the commander, he did not have a good rest for a long time. It would be a headache for those businessmen to attack the level.

On the way to the tavern, Altaïr said to himself, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, how can I get in, if I have to wait for a few days, it will definitely not work."

Gao Long was also thinking about the solution, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't think of what to do, so he could only let nature take its course.

When I arrived at the tavern, I opened the door and walked in. Usually, the tavern should be full of vulgar drunkards who smell of alcohol, but today, there are some people who don’t look like ordinary civilians in their clothes, and a few of them are wearing golden clothes. Decorations such as chains and rings look very aggressive at first glance.

Everyone didn't say anything when they saw the two people entering, but they were still discussing how to enter the city.

Altaïr found a remote place where he could clearly hear what these merchants were discussing, and the two sat down. They didn't order alcoholic drinks, but ordered two glasses of warm honey water as drinks.

"How much will I have to pay for a few days of delay here? All the fruits I shipped are in season. If it is a few days later, they will all be rotten." A plain-clothed man complained beside him. A businessman seems more like a young master who has run away from home.

"Yes, I took my caravan from the other side and passed through more than a dozen cities. I didn't expect to stop here. One day late is a day's consumption." A thin and sinister-looking man The businessman twirled the gold ring and said bitterly.

"I saw a few bachelors go in just now. Why can they go in but we can't? We are obviously much more noble than them!" A piece of glittering gold, it seems that he is still a nobleman, because there are many servants around him.

"Bachelor?" Altaïr shook the wooden cup in his hand, then raised his head and took a sip. "It's time for us to act, Gao Long."

Gao Long also understood what Altaïr was referring to, drank the honey water, and followed Altaïr out of the tavern.

"Then let's split up, so we can find more targets." Altaïr whispered into Gao Long's ear as soon as he left the door

"No problem, how about we gather here at 5 o'clock today?" Gao Long responded and told the meeting time.

Altaïr walked towards the side of the village without saying anything, but he must have heard and agreed.

Gao Long also walked towards the other side, looking around to see if anyone similar to a bachelor appeared nearby.

Gao Long thought back to the bachelor he saw in the tower, "Bachelor, bachelor. The bachelor should be similar to those seen in the library. He was covered tightly by a gray robe, and he held some books in his hand. Are you in a hurry?"

After thinking about it, I almost reached the edge of the village.Gao Long stopped in his tracks, then turned back, and suddenly saw a small house at the edge of the village, near a hill. The door there had just been opened, and a man in a gray robe walked into the house.

Gao Long quickly ran towards the house, and when he was some distance away from the house, he slowed down and covered himself.

When I was about 10 meters away from the house, the door suddenly opened, and a woman ran out from inside. I don't know what happened, and I can't control that much.Gao Long hid in the shadow of another house and was not detected.

After the door was closed again by the man in the gray robe, Gao Long approached slowly again, and then hid in the corner of the wall, hearing voices coming from inside.

"What are you going to do this time?" It was the voice of a middle-aged man.

Another voice came from a young man, "Savis and Lukelin, I and I mixed in together in bachelor's clothes. Don't worry, uncle, it will be fine."

The two should be plotting something. This young man wants to sneak into the city wearing a bachelor's clothes, and there are more than one of them.

Gao Long didn't carelessly, and kept alert while listening to the movement in the house.

"It's not that I'm worried about anything, but that this task is really critical, and it's related to whether we can succeed in the future." The middle-aged man repeatedly urged the young man.

"Okay, okay, uncle, you can go back, if you don't go back, you will be found out. Tomorrow morning, I will go in with them." The young man was already a little impatient with his uncle, as if rushing him away Let his uncle go.

"Then I'm leaving, pay attention to yourself." Just hearing the sound of the door opening, I remembered that the footsteps were getting further and further away.

Gao Long hid behind and was not found, and heard some movement in the house.

"Isn't it just to disintegrate the defense? What's so difficult about it? We have a total of more than 50 people mixed in in batches, and my father took more than 200 people outside to take care of him. The day after tomorrow will be the time for us to plunder in Damascus!" It turned out that he It was the son of the bandit leader that day. They were planning to attack and plunder the city of Damascus. No wonder the bachelor was able to go in. It must be because of their internal support.

When there was no sound in the room, Gao Long quietly opened the window.It was pitch black inside, and through the moonlight through the window, Gao Long could see a man lying on the bed, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

Gao Long knocked on the door, then ran on tiptoe through the window without making a loud noise.

"Who is it?" The man got up from the bed, picked up a dagger and hid it behind his back, then opened the door to check, but found no one.Then he cursed and closed the door again, ready to continue to lie down and sleep.

As soon as he turned around, he found a man standing behind him. He was startled, picked up the dagger in his hand and stabbed forward.

If it is said that Gao Long, who just came to this world, may still be stabbed, but now Gao Long, who already has the talent of combat specialization F, is not afraid of this attack in a panic. His right hand hit the young man's wrist fiercely, and his left hand He stretched out his hidden sword and placed it on his Adam's apple.

Metal-specific coldness came from the neck, and the young man said nervously, "You... who are you? What do you want? I can give you anything." However, the stern look in his eyes was not as weak as his words .

Gao Long didn't want to leave anyone alive from the beginning. "I heard what you are going to do tomorrow. Where are the things you prepared?"

"It's under the table behind you, you can go and see for yourself." After saying this, the young man was ready to stab Gao Long with another dagger hidden in his body when he turned around.

Before Gao Long could turn around, the sharp Hidden Blade cut his throat. The young man wanted to cover the blood that kept flowing out with his hands, but it still flowed out from the gap between his fingers, and soon there was no sound.

Wiping the blood on the Hidden Blade, he pulled out the box under the table, which contained books about promoting Templars and a gray robe.However, unlike the robes I saw before, there is a small white flower sewn on the cuff, which is not easy to spot if you don't look carefully.

Close the lid, climb out of the window again, and close the window.Gao Long carried the box and walked to the tavern.
