Chapter 34 Assassination

Alexander's plan is simple.?

Taking advantage of Perron's indulgence in his teasing of Madame Neodora, he quietly approached.

Suddenly it was difficult to stab Perron to death with one knife.

At the same time, people in the house thought he was challenging Perron.

Doing this seems to be a risk, but he believes that no one, including Perron himself, would have thought that he would openly kill people at a banquet.

As for Madame Neodora, even if she saw the killing of Peron, it was nothing. This woman was not a big deal. At that time, how many people would believe her words were a problem.

Just as Peron teased Mrs. Neodora in public, Alexander had planned all the steps in his mind.

Until the moment I swung the dagger, everything went smoothly!

What happened next was completely unexpected!

The snow-bright short sword brought a dazzling light even in the dim bushes, and several black shadows that appeared at the same time suddenly rushed over!

Alexander's dagger and one of the people collided in the air, and they were stunned for a moment and then they jumped backward at the same time.

The sudden attack alarmed Peron, who was rolling in the flowers. He jumped up from the half-naked Madame Neodora like a stripped frog, rolled on the ground, grabbed the sword thrown on the ground, and didn't have time to pull out the sword that was rushed to stop.

The feathers on the mask of the man in black swung in the night wind, but the weapon in his hand quickly passed through the scabbard that Perron blocked him. With the screams, Perron's hairy chest immediately dripped blood.

Alexander was a little confused. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Seeing Perron shaking and struggling to retreat to the side, he felt that it was really funny.

I was originally going to kill this person, but why did I become a fight with him?

The sudden change also surprised the assassins who originally thought the sneak attack was successful. As the man in black shouted, the assassins rushed up again regardless of everything.

He tried hard to avoid the stabbing sword and retreated in panic at Alexander's feet.

The tension of not experiencing the battle made him fall into danger from the beginning, accompanied by the black shadows. Before he could stand firm, the dagger cut across his neck!

The blood filled the nose with a fishy smell, and the numbness on his shoulder made Alexander almost fall. His right arm was weak and blood immediately flowed down his arm.

Perron had already drawn his sword, and shook his head as an object under his crotch, and he tried hard to slash forward.

"God! Help!"

The curled-up Mrs. Neodora screamed in horror. She was squealing and struggling on the ground in panic, crawling towards Perron desperately, but she was tripped by the weeds under her feet.

Her shouts were sharp, and they instantly cut through the night in the garden, alarming the people in the house.

A quick figure had already rushed out of the house when Mrs. Neodora's scream sounded, and he shouted "Madam" and ran wildly into the garden, bright eyes and snow-white teeth were extremely conspicuous in the night.

"Kill him!"

An assassin roared at Alexander with weak arms, and the cruelty in his eyes almost frozen into Alexander's eyes!

The next moment, the assassin was thrown to the ground by a black male servant who suddenly emerged from behind.

Peron swung his sword frantically to resist the two enemies. Screaming sounded, and Madame Neodora, who had climbed up, was pushed suddenly towards Peron by an assassin. At the same time, the conical stinging sword in his hand passed through his wife and stabbed Peron.

Peron seemed to hesitate, then he waved his hand fiercely, and as the wind passed, Madame Neodora was rushing forward and suddenly stopped!

Her neck tore a huge hole, and her whole head fell down toward the back!

Unexpectedly, Peron ignored Madame Neodora's life-and-death assassin hit the woman who fell backwards. He rushed to push away the woman's body, but Peron's chest was pierced by a sword.

"stupid……"

Peron opened his mouth proudly, but the words below suddenly disappeared. He looked at the small sword tip from his chest in shock, and then his body softened and fell on Madame Neodora, who had just been killed by him.

The fight in the garden had already alarmed the surroundings. People shouted and ran towards the garden. Some even noticed the danger and began to shout for help.

"Run!"

The assassin finally got rid of the entanglement of the black male servant. He got up and called his companions and turned around and ran away. When he met Mr. Zioni who happened to hear the sound, the assassin knocked Mr. Zioni overturned the flower bed next to him with a punch.

The black male servant crawled up, his face was covered in blood, and the corners of his eyes were cut into a long hole by a sharp sword blade. The blood covered his eyes, and it looked so red that it looked hideous and terrifying.

Alexander sat on the ground, his right arm hanging weakly, because of excessive bleeding, sweat was flowing on his pale and blue face.

In a short moment, the danger was everywhere. The impact of life and death seemed to have drained Alexander's last bit of strength. He was in front of him, but his eyes were dark and he fell to the ground.

With the assassination of the city defense officer Alfonso Perron, Palermo City was once again shocked by a sudden change.

Gomez received the news later that day. When he heard that Peron was killed, he was silent for a moment, and a very soft "hum" sound came from his nose. After a while, he suddenly burst out with great anger!

With the sound of ping-pong, Gong Xiang smashed almost everything around him that could be picked up and destroyed. Then he pulled off the two-handed sword from the shelf and began to chop around in the room frantically!

The servants were frightened by Gong Xiang's actions. They hid far away from the room and listened to the terrible sounds inside. Whenever the sound of something broken sounded, they couldn't help but be frightened, but they didn't dare to leave. They could only look at the two closed doors in fear and prayed that Gong Xiang would not rush out with a sword.

Gomez's madness finally attracted the attention of Mrs. Gong Xiang. She came outside the door accompanied by several maids. After listening to the sound of swearing mixed with things inside, she patted the heavy door with force.

"Who is it!" Gomez's irritable roar came from it.

"It's your wife," Mrs. Gong Xiang shouted unwillingly, "Hurry up and open the door, otherwise I'll let someone knock the door open."

"Then you try it!"

As the door trembled suddenly, it was obvious that someone was kicking the door inside.

"Peron is dead. Do you have to be so angry all the time?" Mrs. Gong Xiang patted the door hard. "Don't forget that you are Gong Xiang of the Kingdom of Sicily, not an impulsive and stupid artist."

"If I were a stupid artist, it was not your intentions," Gomez's roar could even hear the servants in the corridor in the distance. "Don't think I don't know the hook-ups between you and Alfonso, but don't forget that I am the palace minister of Sicily, I am loyal to the King of Aragon and the royal family!"

"Gomez, I don't allow you to say these stupid words again," Mrs. Gong Shoo pounded the door and made a muffled sound. "Don't forget that my surname is Zaragoza, and I am a descendant of the Count of Zaragoza family. Zaragoza is the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon. I don't allow you to insult the daughter of the Zaragoza family."

"But more than half of your family are loyal to Castilla, and the only general I can trust is dead," Gomez still shouted, and then suddenly became quiet inside. Just as people outside were worried and whispering, the door slowly opened with a squeak.

Gong Xiang walked out of it, his originally decent robe hung crookedly on his body, his eyes were red, and his mouth was filled with heavy smell of alcohol. What's worse was that he was holding a sword that had already been cut into a pothole.

"Where is that bohemian woman?" Gomez suddenly asked, "Peron has been asking me for her, and now I want to meet his request."

"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Gong Xiang looked at her husband coldly. "If the people of Zaragoza knew about you like this, they would even say bad things about you in front of the king."

"I don't care," Gomez shook the sword in his hand. "That Gumbrey, I should have heard Peron's words and dealt with him. If it weren't for Osborne, he would have been rotten in the dungeon. Now Peron is dead but he is still alive. Where is the tailor? Didn't he go to the slut's house banquet with them and ask him to explain to me what he had given birth, otherwise I would have someone hang him on the slut's bed frame with a tape measure."

Gomez's words made the people around him frightened. Osborne has always been envied because of his favor. There are even rumors that he is the male favorite of Gong Xiang, but Gong Xiang is furious and threatens to kill Osborne, which shows how angry he is about Peron's death.

Mrs. Gong Xiang looked at her husband expressionlessly, as if she was disdainful of his hysteria, or she did not take his anger to heart.

"Do you think a little tailor should be responsible for Peron's death, or the Greek you said is worthy of your doing," she glanced at the servants next to her with a sharp look. After they hurriedly retreated, she walked to her husband. "It's a bad thing for Malejo to disappear. You have lost another city defense officer now. Do you think your enemies in Aragon will give up this opportunity to attack you?"

Gomez took a breath, he would be so angry, just as Mrs. Gong Xiang said, because he was worried that this series of life would become a handle for enemies far away in Aragon to attack him in front of the king.

Now Mrs. Gong Xiang directly identified his heart disease, which made Gomez, who was originally in anger, feel helpless.

"I can forgive you for your previous sluts," Mrs. Gong Xiang looked at her husband coldly. "But it would be too stupid for you to openly say bad things about Alfonso. Don't forget that he will be a bishop, maybe he will be an archbishop soon."

"You really have confidence in him," Gomez couldn't help but sarcastically, then raised his voice to the servant who was standing far away at the end of the corridor, "Go call Osborne, I want to hear what he said."

After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Gong Xiang who was walking into the door. He snorted again from his nose, threw the sword on the ground, and then walked into the room.

Oss was very fast, and almost trotted outside the palace door before stopping.

"Don't panic Osborne, you're the best tailor, no one can do better than your craft, so it's just a hole, and there's a new dress soon."

After comforting himself in a unique way, Osborne gently knocked on the door, and then Gong Xiang's angry voice came from inside: "Come in."

Osborne opened the door and saw that Mrs. Gong Xiang was also inside. Not only did he not relax, but he felt nervous.

Gomez might forgive him for his slick words, but Mrs. Gong Xiang was not easy to deal with.

Osborne clearly felt the hostility of Mrs. Gong Xiang. This hostility was so strong that the lady sometimes even had to condescend and surrender to the nobles.

"Tell me everything you know," Gomez looked gloomy. "I know the tricks you have done, and you know that I am not stingy with people, but I am not tolerant."

Osborne immediately bent down, and the tape ruler he used to hang around his neck swayed in the air, looking like a soft snake wrapped around his neck.

"Sir, of course I will tell the truth, but I may not know much. It was too messy at that time. Captain Perron was dead when we arrived at the garden, Madame Neodora died, and Kombre was injured, but they killed someone who attacked them."

"You mean you didn't see how Perron died?" asked Mrs. Gong Xiang, her black and gray eyes flashed. "So Perron was killed. Has anyone else seen it?"

"Please forgive my wife. I was almost the first to feel it. Peron was stabbed from behind. He died at that time. I saw him and Mrs. Neodora fall together." Speaking of this, the tailor looked up slightly and showed a strange smile to Gong Xiang. "You must have heard of them."

"I can imagine it," Gomez said coldly, "Where is that Gombree, you said Peron was killed from behind, could it be him? As far as I know, there is a grudge between the two of them, that Bohemian woman..."

"Please forgive me, I can't say that Kombrey is not suspicious," Osborne replied happily. "It's just that when we arrived, his right arm was injured, and more importantly, we had a witness."

"A witness?" Gomez was stunned and then asked in anger. "Didn't you say you arrived early? Why would there be a witness?"

"That's a servant, a Moor," Osborne replied in a bit embarrassingly "you know that such a person cannot testify."

"I have the final say whether I can testify!" Gomez interrupted the tailor. "What did that servant say?"

"He said he saw an assassin killing the captain from behind after slashing Gombrey," Osborne curled his lips. "Speaking of this servant, he was very loyal and injured in order to protect Mrs. Neodora."

"Being injured for the slut," Gomez looked at the tailor sarcastically. "I know now why you don't want to mention him. You are so brave. I guess you must have dared to pass after everything is over, right?"

"Sir, please leave me some face."

The tailor deliberately said in a slightly dissatisfied tone, which first caused Gomez to sneer, and then he frowned.

"Who is that, and why did you kill Perron?"

"Only God knows this," said the tailor helplessly. "The Ziony family is in a big trouble now, because Madame Neodora looks a bit embarrassing when she died, so this has caused quite a lot of disputes."

"A bunch of flies that flew over when they smelled the fishy smell," Gomez said, looking at his wife who had not spoken any more except for the beginning of asking, "How is that Gumbrey?"

"I'm lucky, but the cartilage on my shoulder was pierced."

"That's bad enough," Gomez frowned even more. "Tell him to do what he should do if he's fine. Palermo has been too messed up lately, and everyone has to be careful."

"Sir, please do." The tailor sighed in relief. He knew that both himself and Alexander had passed the test temporarily.

Just thinking of the servant of the Zioni family, the tailor couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Just as Osborne reported to Gomez about his assassination at the Zioni family, a black servant with wounded forehead was kneeling in front of Alexander with red eyes at his residence.
