Dragon Clouds City, somewhere. flash dance novel network

This is a dark passage.

There was only one solitary permanent lamp, barely illuminating the mottled and old earth walls on both sides that seemed to collapse at any time.

A young man sat silently beside the unextinguishable lamp, looking at a dagger in his hand.

The narrow passage can only allow two people to pass through, as if it is a gap between two walls. The mud floor is covered with dust, and it seems that no one has been there for a long time.

This is an underground passage hidden under the cellar of the chess and card room.

Thank goodness they were able to fix it.

The boy said in his heart.

It's just that I come to play chess every month, why didn't the Grand Duke's guards who were in charge of searching and clearing the field find this place?

And... When this place was selected, Nicolai must have checked the details of this place long ago, right?

Tap, tap, tap...

Footsteps were heard.

The boy stopped what he was doing, slowly sheathed the daggers, and snapped them back into his belt.

A line of words on the sheath flashed under the uncertain lights:

The king does not respect blood.

Tap, tap, tap...

The footsteps were getting closer.

Thales sighed, and turned to look at the other end of the dark passage.

There is no light, only darkness.

As the footsteps stopped, a figure loomed in the darkness.

"You should take a good rest, Your Highness, and recover your strength," the visitor said calmly, with a brisk voice: "It's still a while."

The young prince snorted.

He stood up silently, and wiped off the dust on his body: "This is different from what we agreed."

Thales looked at the familiar face and those special dark red eyes, and said coldly:

"Raphael Lindbergh."

Following Thales' words, Raphael, the cadre of the Kingdom's Secret Division who hadn't seen him for six years, stepped out of the dark passage, revealing his entire figure in front of the eternal light.

Thales looked at Raphael carefully.

Six years didn't seem to bring too much vicissitudes to this desolate bone man who lives in darkness.

He was still dressed in a white robe, with a handsome figure and a calm demeanor. Only when he saw the flickering lights did he subconsciously frown slightly.

"really."

"So it's not the perfect escape we imagined, it's even extremely risky."

Raphael's dark red eyes swept across Thales, who was already a teenager, with a calm expression: "But Your Highness, whose fault do you think this is?"

Thales' expression changed: "Whose fault?"

"Don't play dumb, Raphael, you know what I'm talking about."

"Five thousand cavalry marched from the great desert to Qiyuan City to support the Freedom Alliance," the prince said in a cold voice, "It gave the people of the North a great surprise, didn't they?"

"And do you know how many people told me in advance about their hostage prince?"

Raphael raised an eyebrow.

Thales twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his fingers vigorously in the air, compared a number mockingly, and said word by word: "Zero."

"Zero! One, one, all, no, yes!"

"This is dozens of dazed, ferocious-faced strong men from the Northland, all together, telling, telling, me!"

Raphael looked up thoughtfully.

"Five thousand cavalry?"

He moved slightly: "Is this the intelligence of the people from the North?"

Thales was very annoyed by the indifferent attitude of the secret department staff.

"Why, are you going to tell me that the cavalrymen and double-star cross flags that almost killed me are all fake, and they were faked by others?"

Prince shrugged,

He snorted dissatisfiedly: "And the kingdom didn't send troops at all?"

In the flickering lights, Raphael silently glanced at him before sighing slightly.

"Those armies are indeed real, and they were also sent by Xingchen."

"But starting from the Western Wilderness, starting from the Saber Camp, and heading west into the desert, at most one or two thousand cavalry will end up."

"As for the others, they are probably infantry or an illusion created by them," Raphael laughed:

"Five thousand cavalry? Ha, that's enough to drain half of the kingdom."

The skeleton man spread his hands, his sleeves were still long, covering his wrist firmly.

He is laughing.

He doesn't care at all.

Thales told himself with his eyes wide open.

The unhappiness in the prince's heart slowly rose.

"That's not the point, and it's not funny."

Thales narrowed his eyes, raised his fingers, and said in an increasingly serious tone: "You know, as a target to vent, I was almost torn to pieces by the angry Northlanders in the Hall of Heroes—"

In the dim vision, Raphael shook his head with a half-smile: "They wouldn't do that..."

But Thales ignored his interruption at all, but shook his fingers, suppressed his anger and continued: "—or was he held hostage to Qiyuan City, bound to the front of the two armies and forced Xingchen to retreat?"

The volume of the prince's last voice was a little louder, and it was quite harsh in the narrow passage.

Raphael stared at the prince fixedly, and slowly calmed down.

"Your Highness, everything we have done is to rescue you back home safely..."

"Yes, the way is to let the Northlanders hang me first, and then you come to collect the body," Thales sneered, full of irony: "It's very safe."

Raphael's expression changed.

"Please believe me, the Secret Division has its own suitable means and arrangements," his tone gradually became serious: "But I can say with certainty that it is definitely not in the current rude, direct and forced way."

The staff from the secret department said coldly: "As I said just now: Your Highness, whose fault do you think this is?"

Thales simply ignored the other party's rhetorical question, he sneered again and again:

"'Appropriate means and arrangement'? It's really exciting, just like Dragon's Blood six years ago, isn't it?"

Hearing the operation code name that hadn't appeared for a long time, Raphael hesitated slightly.

The prince leaned against the wall, turned his head to one side, and snorted angrily, "God damn Kingdom Secrets."

Raphael was silent for a long time.

Until he took a breath and spoke slowly:

"You are accusing us of concealing information, Your Highness, you think this accident is the fault of the secret department."

Thales snorted lightly.

"But on the other hand," Raphael's red eyes flashed a strange light, "You treat us..."

"Is that so unreserved?"

Thales was taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned his head.

Raphael stared at him with chilling eyes.

"Until noon today, we thought everything was going well... We didn't know what you and Luba were doing in the palace until the news came."

Raphael's voice also carried a sharp accusation: "Until I receive the news that you are leaving the palace."

"We were so caught off guard that we had to act urgently and adopt the worst backup plan: to rescue you by force!"

Thales didn't speak.

Raphael took a slight step forward, his eyes were piercing.

"For more than two months, from the moment you boarded the black sand collar's carriage, you have always known that Lunba has long been lurking in the city, and you have even secretly reached an agreement with him to jointly interfere in the internal affairs of Dragon Clouds City and Exeter, Until finally you were transferred to Heisha collar."

Thales felt a chill in his heart, suddenly felt bad. flash dance novel network

The desolate bone man said lightly:

"About these, about your conspiracy with Luba, about why you were forced to cooperate with him, Your Highness..."

"How much did you tell us?"

Looking at Raphael's gaze, Thales suddenly felt a little palpitating.

Damn.

That's right, the secret meeting between me and Luba, the plan for the little slippery head, these things, including the identity of the Grand Duchess...

How can I tell you?

Thales took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

He forced himself to calm down: "The matter between me and Heisha collar was an accident."

Raphael frowned: "Accident?"

Thales pursed his lips, nodded angrily and said:

"Yes, your accident came first, which caused my accident! Okay?"

"If you hadn't brought the five thousand—no, two thousand cavalry, and made the whole situation turn sour, the Grand Duchess wouldn't be cornered, and I wouldn't be forced to ask Rumba for help!"

The prince snorted coldly, trying to change the subject.

No.

He said silently in his heart.

he knows.

To be exact, Thales made a record early on: In the Hall of Heroes, their plan with Ian is likely to encounter accidents and fail.

For the little cunning, Rumba is the hole card he must turn over when he is desperate.

And once this hole card is revealed, the secret department will definitely know.

The secret department will not sit idly by, they will definitely take action.

Thales patted the belongings that had been packed in his arms, and sighed in his heart: He was already prepared for the rescue of the secret department.

This time, Raphael stared at him for a long time.

As if to discover some secret.

Thales just turned his head angrily, acting like a sulking teenager.

Finally, Raphael put away his scrutiny.

Raphael said indifferently: "Then maybe you shouldn't be so deeply involved with the government of Dragon Clouds City at all?"

With a different expression, he looked at the prince with disdain: "Even if you have an unspeakable relationship with the Grand Duchess, Your Royal Highness."

Thales was taken aback for a moment, and then he was speechless: "Me, me and the Grand Duchess..."

But he became angry from embarrassment, and immediately found a way to fight back to change the subject: "Merry?"

"Hey, six years ago, I wasn't the one who kissed Miss Arund in public for a minute in the Palace of Heroes!"

Raphael's expression changed.

He frowned and coughed, shaking some dust off his head.

The two were quiet for a while.

Thales panted silently, hoping that this could cover up the other party's questioning.

"Anyway."

Raphael sighed sarcastically: "If you are a little bit more merciful, open your mouth a little, and tell us about Luba in advance, these lowly people who have lost their legs in the secret department..."

"Then maybe we can respond earlier and things won't be so bad?"

Thales raised his eyebrows and opened his hands with an expression of "I have nothing to say to you".

"Very good," the prince made a resting gesture, and said as if giving up on himself, "I understand, there will be no result if this continues."

"The discussion is over, that's all."

He turned around, leaning against the wall, shaking his head and crossing his arms.

Raphael didn't speak.

Until Thales broke the silence again:

"Hey, that black robe with two swords."

"When I escaped into the chess and card room, I saw him surrounded by the guards." The prince said silently without looking back, "Is he alright?"

No.

Thales said from the bottom of his heart: Nicolai's former White Blade Guards are not easy to mess with.

That person, in order to create an opportunity for himself to secretly escape to the basement of the chess and card room, probably already...

Raphael frowned slightly, but did not speak.

It wasn't until Thales looked at him impatiently that Raphael snorted slightly: "You didn't recognize him?"

Thales was taken aback: "Who? That black robe?"

Raphael narrowed his eyes and grinned: "Very well, if even you don't recognize his disguise..."

"Don't worry, he'll be safe."

Thales paused lightly.

camouflage?

so……

That man in black is someone I know?

Could it be...

Thales shook his head, and eliminated the masked figure in his mind: Impossible, the tall and slender black robe holding two thin swords, it cannot be him.

At this moment, Thales suddenly remembered something, and he raised his head: "Attack the posthouse where Lumbard is - is that also your means of attracting attention?"

Having said that, Raphael's expression turned cold.

"Yes, an impossible suicide attack." His voice was a little quiet: "We have thought about any means that can reduce the force of the guards around you."

Telston lived.

The light moved slightly, elongating the figures of the two on the wall.

After a while, the prince exhaled: "How many casualties?"

Raphael shook his head and didn't speak.

Thales' face also turned cold.

There was silence in the passage again.

"I'm sorry." It took a long time for the prince to hold back the words.

Raphael closed his eyes and shook his head.

"They all know what they are going to do," the voice of the secret department said sadly: "For this operation, the secret department even gave up the headquarters in Dragon Clouds City, sacrificing most of the intelligence lines."

Thales was puzzled: "Headquarters?"

Raphael pouted his chin, stretched out his fingers and tapped the irregular dirt wall beside him: "This is it."

Thales was stunned.

He looked around and surveyed the dim passage.

The prince wondered: "But here... isn't this the basement of the chess and card room in the Mao District where I come here every month?"

As a reply, Raphael nodded in agreement, and his expression returned to his usual calmness.

"Wait, you mean," Thales stared in disbelief, observing the surroundings: "The chess and card room above our heads, where I come to play chess every month, is the Dragon Clouds City headquarters of Kingdom Secret Division?"

"Just in the Spear District? Just a few steps away from the Palace of Heroes?"

Raphael smiled.

He tapped on the dilapidated earthen wall next to him again:

"You wouldn't think that the boss of the chess and card room just happened to be bored, so he built this tunnel under the cellar, right?"

"You don't think that when you made a request to Dragon Clouds City and was approved by the Grand Duchess, the officials in the Office of Order who were in charge of selecting the site just happened to report this newly opened chess and card room to Lisbane, right?"

Thales stared blankly at Raphael: "So..."

Raphael's eyes were bright, and he nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the safest place is under the eyes of the enemy."

"For example, the 'Dragon's Blood' six years ago, from the start of the operation, to the repair, decision, plan, and even to the final deployment of manpower and intelligence, forged the Lumbard's warrant, entered the gate of the enemy's occupation, and took some self-assessment. The unlucky prince who came out and arranged for the evacuation was all contacted and prepared here."

Raphael glanced at him meaningfully, hummed and shook his head.

Thales automatically ignored the words of the other party's "a certain unlucky prince", and silently looked around: the mottled earth wall, the deep passage, and the lonely unextinguished lamp.

I see.

It turns out that all the secret messages I sent to the Secret Division in the past six years are here...

"But Nikolai should have checked here carefully, right? Didn't find anything?"

The prince frowned and said, "Even every month when I come here, the guards have to look up and down. How could they miss this tunnel?"

Raphael smiled again.

"This was not a chess and card room before."

"This place, as the headquarters of the Secret Division in Dragon Clouds City, has a history of supporting countless espionage operations and sheltering countless stars spies during the underground war between the stars and the dragons. It has been more than 160 years."

Thales was slightly taken aback.

Speaking of this, the desolate bone figure of the secret department expressed a lot of emotion: "During this period, no matter how big the action was, there has never been a slight movement here, and it has never been exposed."

"If the meteorites really want to find out something, they have to go through the records of the reconstruction of the Spear District of Dragon Cloud City more than a hundred years ago - it was built by an architect of the Principality of Anrenzo whose cousin's niece married a starman, of course , the records were accidentally lost many years ago."

"As for why they couldn't find a tunnel - what we are in is the last escape route, which was dug decades ago, and the last layer of soil was not dug through," Rafael pulled his mind back to the present , eyes tightened:

"This morning, when we learned that there was an accident in the palace, I decided to get through it."

"really……"

Raphael paused for a while and didn't continue.

The headquarters that hasn't moved lightly for more than a hundred years...

Thales looked at him silently, but he was very sad in his heart.

He frowned and asked, "So, this 'headquarters' is... well connected?"

Raphael chuckled lightly.

The desolate bone man looked at the second prince with disdain, and snorted lightly: "Why, you think the tunnel is so easy to dig, and the grand dukes of Dragon Clouds City, the heads of the darkrooms, including the current meteorite and his people are all idiots? "

"Back then, in order not to arouse suspicion, this tunnel was dug intermittently for several years, and it was almost discovered several times..."

"Otherwise, we want to connect it with the secret passage in the city gate, then we can even sneak into the Palace of Heroes and assassinate a Grand Duke or something..."

Thales took a breath and also laughed.

Raphael snorted.

But then he shook his head again and sighed deeply:

"However, because of this operation, here—the headquarters must be decommissioned."

Taylor's eyes moved: Retired?

Raphael seemed to understand his gaze, and said plainly:

"You disappeared nearby. Although no one found it for a while, the Meteorite and his former White Blade Guard will come back to investigate sooner or later until they find something strange here. Not to mention the dark room and other forces who heard the news, If these people let go of their fight for you, it won't take long to get to the truth."

"The headquarters will be exposed sooner or later."

Thales frowned.

"If the headquarters is going to be decommissioned, it must also be retired along with everyone, things, things, channels, and locations that have been involved with the headquarters for more than a hundred years, almost everything that the secret department has here," Rafael said. Er's eyes dimmed, his voice hoarse:

"There is no doubt that Dragon Clouds City will undergo a wave of cleansing after this incident."

"As for the 160-year-old Longxiao City headquarters, everything that the Kingdom's Secret Division has operated here for more than 100 years will probably disappear."

Raphael snorted with unclear emotions: "It's because of this hasty and stupid plan."

"To save you."

Listening to the other party's words, Thales lowered his head silently, unable to say anything.

"For example, the 'Dragon's Blood' six years ago, from the start of the operation, to the repair, decision, plan, and even to the final deployment of manpower and intelligence, forged the Lumbard's warrant, entered the gate of the enemy's occupation, and took some self-assessment. The unlucky prince who came out and arranged for the evacuation was all contacted and prepared here."

Raphael glanced at him meaningfully, hummed and shook his head.

Thales automatically ignored the words of the other party's "a certain unlucky prince", and silently looked around: the mottled earth wall, the deep passage, and the lonely unextinguished lamp.

I see.

It turns out that all the secret messages I sent to the Secret Division in the past six years are here...

"But Nikolai should have checked here carefully, right? Didn't find anything?"

The prince frowned and said, "Even every month when I come here, the guards have to look up and down. How could they miss this tunnel?"

Raphael smiled again.

"This was not a chess and card room before."

"This place, as the headquarters of the Secret Division in Dragon Clouds City, has a history of supporting countless espionage operations and sheltering countless stars spies during the underground war between the stars and the dragons. It has been more than 160 years."

Thales was slightly taken aback.

Speaking of this, the desolate bone figure of the secret department expressed a lot of emotion: "During this period, no matter how big the action was, there has never been a slight movement here, and it has never been exposed."

"If the meteorites really want to find out something, they have to go through the records of the reconstruction of the Spear District of Dragon Cloud City more than a hundred years ago - it was built by an architect of the Principality of Anrenzo whose cousin's niece married a starman, of course , the records were accidentally lost many years ago."

"As for why they couldn't find a tunnel - what we are in is the last escape route, which was dug decades ago, and the last layer of soil was not dug through," Rafael pulled his mind back to the present , eyes tightened:

"This morning, when we learned that there was an accident in the palace, I decided to get through it."

"really……"

Raphael paused for a while and didn't continue.

The headquarters that hasn't moved lightly for more than a hundred years...

Thales looked at him silently, but he was very sad in his heart.

He frowned and asked, "So, this 'headquarters' is... well connected?"

Raphael chuckled lightly.

The desolate bone man looked at the second prince with disdain, and sneered: "Why, you think the tunnel is so easy to dig, but the grand dukes of Dragon Clouds City, the heads of the darkrooms, including the current meteorite and his people are all idiots? "

"Back then, in order not to arouse suspicion, this tunnel was dug intermittently for several years, and it was almost discovered several times..."

"Otherwise, we want to connect it with the secret passage in the city gate, then we can even sneak into the Palace of Heroes and assassinate a Grand Duke or something..."

Thales took a breath and also laughed.

Raphael snorted.

But then he shook his head again and sighed deeply:

"However, because of this operation, here—the headquarters must be decommissioned."

Taylor's eyes moved: Retired?

Raphael seemed to understand his gaze, and said plainly:

"You disappeared nearby. Although no one found it for a while, the Meteorite and his former White Blade Guard will come back to investigate sooner or later until they find something strange here. Not to mention the dark room and other forces who heard the news, If these people let go of their fight for you, it won't take long to get to the truth."

"The headquarters will be exposed sooner or later."

Thales frowned.

"If the headquarters is going to be decommissioned, it must also be retired along with everyone, things, things, channels, and locations that have been involved with the headquarters for more than a hundred years, almost everything that the secret department has here," Rafael said. Er's eyes dimmed, his voice hoarse:

"There is no doubt that Dragon Clouds City will undergo a wave of cleansing after this incident."

"As for the 160-year-old Longxiao City headquarters, everything that the Kingdom's Secret Division has operated here for more than 100 years will probably disappear."

Raphael snorted with unclear emotions: "It's because of this hasty and stupid plan."

"To save you."

Listening to the other party's words, Thales lowered his head silently, unable to say anything.
