Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 423 Finding Husband and Losing Wife

Juan Clemente stared at the criss-crossed black and white squares on the chessboard for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and raised his head.

He scratched his head and said:
"My lord...According to the rules of imperial chess, a knight can only move three squares at a time..."

Xia Houyan shrugged, and pushed the chess piece forward five squares again:
"I'm a Griffin Sky Knight, I can fly. General!"

Clement looked at the boss in distress, looked down at the chessboard again, pondered for a moment, then stretched out his big hand covered with black iron gauntlet, first picked up a pawn, jumped two steps to the left, and ate the lord's pawn. a flying sky knight;
Then, regardless of the "Shuangfengling Elite Soldier" who advanced rapidly and could walk four squares at a time instead of one square, he stretched out his hand to jump the horse brazenly, and directly pushed the king of the Lord into a corner.

"You lost, my lord..." Clement reminded weakly, "You still have 120 or eight ways to respond, but I have already calculated it in my mind, you can't win no matter what you play... "

"Niang Xipi..." Xia Houyan cursed, then pushed the scales to admit defeat:

It can only be said that in Haven Continent, there seems to be no one who can play chess better than this death knight—he even used the lord's privilege to super-evolve his own chess pieces in these few games, but he still failed to win any plate...

Next time, I will directly use two pairs of pawns to summon a huge jet stream!The senior official Xiahou was secretly ruthless in his heart.

Clement looked at the boss with extremely poor chess skills in a speechless manner, and asked a little aggrieved:

"Lord, why do you have to come here to play chess with me this morning? It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, don't you want lunch?"

"I'm addicted to chess, can't I?" Xia Houyan squinted at the commander of his pioneering army, "Stop talking, let's continue to kill a game..."

"No..." Clement was about to cry, "You are also the patriarch of our Igor family, and the military exercise will start tomorrow. Don't you need to supervise the training of the brothers? Besides, you are from the imperial capital. The ceremonial envoys are also here at noon, you should at least go and ask those noble envoys? What’s the matter with you playing chess with me here..."

"Sean and the others have arranged for our family's exercise subjects, and Master Alan and Master Laurie are watching over the training. I can rest assured!" Xia Houyan said boldly, "As for the noble grandpas of the mission... Let the high-ranking officers of the Imperial Army deal with it! How can the steak eaters seek it?"

The death knight said in his heart that you usually eat a lot of steak...

"You don't go anywhere but come to my tent. You are hiding from someone, right?" Clement looked at the boss depressedly, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"How is it possible!" Xia Houyan waved his hands and categorically denied, "This lord has always been generous with his heart, and the wind is shining like the moon, so why should he be ashamed to be seen by others?"

The death knight let out a suspicious "Oh".

In fact, it’s not surprising that Clement asked this question——

Because the tent where the commander of the Pioneering Army is currently living in, in the camp of the Igor family, really stands out from the crowd and is rather special:
Juan Clemente is not only the top combat force of Frost Maple Ridge, but also the nominal commander of Igor's pioneering army, and his military status in the territory is quite important.This time the "Frost Maple Ridge Labor Art Troupe" sent troops to the north, and they were already prepared to fight with various forces at home and abroad. Of course, Clement could not be absent, and he also came to the front line of the Eastern Frontier.

But the problem is that Clement is a death knight entangled in dark mist... If he is allowed to show his face outside, then the first priority of the garrison of the civil castle will no longer be to fight the orcs, but to fight against the orcs first. Turn the gun and arrest the Duke of Shuangfengling and send him to the Inquisition.

Therefore, in order to deceive others, after the family arrived at Tumubao, Xia Houyan gave Clement a death order, asking him to practice the principle of "do not step out of the door without going out of the door" with the posture of the most famous lady. Stay in the tent honestly and don't go out to scare people!
At the same time, outside Clement's tent door, there was also a warning sign saying "There is a beast inside", warning strangers to stay away.

In summary, if someone in the Igor family's camp, for some reason, wants to avoid seeing visitors...

It's really the safest way to stay in Clement's tent.

On the other side, the lord is sitting in the tent of his subordinates, humming a little tune and laying out the chessboard, while Juan Clemente looks at the boss sadly:

You stay with me all the time, it is clean and happy, but I still have to sit here and play chess with you...

Up to now, the citizens of Shuangfengling have reached a consensus. On the list of "the most difficult things in the world", "playing chess with the lord" must be at the top of the list--this kind of thing, you won the lord It's not suitable, but it's easy to appear too fake, but if you want to lose naturally and reasonably, you actually need some acting skills.

It's a pity that Clement doesn't seem to be good at this, so when he came down this morning, he directly killed the lord.

The two were still here sullenly setting the chessboard when the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted.

The lord jumped up from the table like a rabbit that got an electric shock, and he was relieved when he saw that it was Master Laurie who entered the door.

"What are you doing?" Xiahou official looked at his chief mage angrily.

"I'm here to ask you..." Master Laurie was a little puzzled. He didn't know why the boss had such a bad attitude towards him. "...Why don't you go and see the delegation from the imperial capital? The head of the delegation After Master Guillaume knew you were at the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, he repeatedly said that he wanted to meet you, so let me come and invite you..."

"No! No!" Xia Houyan waved his hands irritably, "Just say I'm busy with military affairs!"

Master Laurie glanced at the Lord Lord's "Military Affairs" on the chessboard, said "Oh" dumbly, and continued to ask:

"Also, Miss Isa Sandria also wants to see you..."

"Fuck! Not to mention this one!" The lord categorically refused.

Clement squinted at the lord who was super sensitive to the name "Isa Sandria", and said in his heart that this is what happened...

Then, behind Master Laurie, came a voice that knocked Xia Houyan out of his wits:

"—Are you really missing? My dear fiancé?"

Master Laurie seemed to be stared at by Medusa, and his expression suddenly froze.This experienced magic master did not dare to look behind him at all. Like a robot, he cautiously took two steps to the side, and the left side of his old face full of grief and indignation "This matter has nothing to do with me", and the right side is filled with "good luck, lord".

But Xiahouyan and Clement didn't have time to pay attention to the facial expressions of the old wretch.

Because, as Master Laurie stepped out of the door, the embarrassing face of Isa Sandria, Countess of the Empire Stigmata, and her body wrapped in a long black dress , just appeared outside the door of this "beast inside" tent.

Compared with the first time I met in the imperial capital, the appearance of this imperial female aristocrat seems to be a bit more charming.

Of course, her big eyes are staring at the lord at this moment.

"Ah..." Xia Houyan opened his mouth dryly like a shad coming out of the water, "...Ah! Wow, it's Yisha, why did you come to Burning Crystal Canyon? I don't even know..."

Juan Clemente quietly took two steps away from the lord.

——Nothing else, afraid of being struck by lightning.

"Really? Of course you don't know, my dear fiancé..." Isa Sandria stepped into the tent, smiled and stared at the official Xiahou, "You are busy with official duties on weekdays, and you don't even give yourself The fiancée doesn't even have time to write a letter, so how can she know who is coming to Burning Crystal Canyon?"

"Yes, yes... I'm really busy..." Xia Houyan laughed.

"Too busy to even take care of receiving and replying letters, isn't it, my dear?" Yisha twisted her waist and approached the lord with a chuckle, "Since you left the imperial capital, I seem to have written you almost 20 A letter? Why, didn’t Dongyongge even send you a letter?”

"During the war, Shuangfengling's letter censorship system was relatively strict..." Xia Houyan said with a blank expression, "And our duchy is responsible for these postal affairs, which are all public institutions belonging to the territory, not private chambers of commerce. A little lower is understandable..."

Master Laurie on the side interjected:
"My lord, if you want me to say this is your fault..."

Xia Houyan gave his mage a kind look full of murderous intent.

So Master Laurie didn't dare to give a fart, and escaped from the tent with his tail between his legs - Juan Clemente saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly accused him, and escaped with Master Laurie without hiding anything The ban on death knight status is taken to heart.

So, in the huge tent, only Isa Sandria and the lord were left.

The countess of the stigmata looked up at her fiancé with a smile.

A bead of sweat appeared on Xia Houyan's forehead.

"I know you, Mr. Elliot Igor, are busy with 'official duties'..." Isa Sandria stretched out a slender hand, trying to pinch Xia Houyan's waist, but in the end she was not willing to use force, but instead Like a massage, "After all, it's written in the imperial capital's novels and weekly newspapers, what's the 'Duke of Frost Maple Ridge's trick to accept Catwoman'... what' Elliot Igor and the maid have to say Twelve Tales of 'Ah...you've been busy these days, my lord...'

Xia Houyan secretly scolded his mother Xipi, thinking that there is really a traitor in his fucking propaganda department...

Of course, on the surface he still cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"Isa, you don't believe these novelists' words, do you? As far as I know, these novel writers don't have a single truth in their mouths, and what they write will only bring disaster to the country and the people. The best novel writers never A novel writer who will update..."

The smile on Yisha's face couldn't last anymore, she gave the lord a hard look, and puffed up:
"Then why are you hiding from me?!"

"Please don't be so self-centered, my dear fiancee." Xia Houyan said with a chuckle, "Who said I was hiding from you? The reason why I closed the door to thank guests is to guard against orcs!"

Guard against orcs?Isa blinked, not knowing why.

"Isa, you may not know that there is now a terrifying assassin team under the federal orcs, called the 'Masyaf Squad'! The former General Virgil of the Stardust Elf Protectorate, his wife was unfortunately killed by this group of madmen. Kidnapped by the orc assassins!" Xia Houyan said righteously, "As the supreme commander of the Shuangfengling army and an imperial noble, I must be the number one target of this group of orc assassins - I hide to hide my whereabouts and protect That's perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

Isa Sandria gave him a suspicious look:
"Really? Are you avoiding me?"

"Why am I hiding from my fiancée!" Xia Houyan laughed, "Besides..."

He stretched out his hands suddenly, and hugged her around the waist amidst Isa's screams.

The lord leaned close to Isa's ear and whispered:

"You came just in time... Alice was the only one who came with the team, and I want to eat something warm..."

"Take me to your own tent!" Isa's cheeks flushed, she reached out and grabbed the ear of the official Xiahou, "Don't let them see..."

……

As the golden crow fell to the west, a layer of chilling gold and iron was laid on the jagged rock walls of the Burning Crystal Canyon.

Adolf Black-Eyed Warlord took two steps back and checked the appearance of several envoys again.

The few orcs in front of the Grand Warlord did not wear the steel armor of soldiers, but knitted capes with totem patterns—this is the traditional costume worn by the federal orcs on formal occasions.

"Yes, lads." The black-eyed warlord nodded in praise, then took a totem scepter from his side, and handed it to the orc who was the leader in the team, "Go to the other side of the canyon this time, perform well, and kill that The prestige of a group of human bastards!"

"Obey!" The orc officer who was the leader of the viewing group this time took the scepter, beat his chest with his fists, and said with a smile, "Grand Warlord, this military exercise is nothing more than a battle between the besieged beasts of the empire's human beings—I want to fight against the beasts in the God of War." Showing off your power in front of your people, human beings are thinking too much!"

"But still don't underestimate the enemy." The black-eyed warlord was also amused by his own officer, he laughed and said, "We still have to pay attention to observation, maybe human beings really have some treasures at the bottom of the box, we must repay them well..."

"Pay special attention to that Elliot Igor." Duchess Vanessa interrupted to remind.

Adolf Black-Eyed Warlord looked helplessly at the blood elf nobleman: From the very beginning, Duchess Vanessa was very concerned about that little human boy named "Eliot Igor", as if he was the one who was involved in this battle. The key to war is the same...

But only real orc warriors understand that in a war, no one can reverse the situation by himself——

——Even the well-known Eliot Igor in the mainland can't.

"Also, Grand Overseer." The leader of the Federation viewing group held the scepter, tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized something, and reminded, "The elves from Eternal Sun City across the canyon wrote yesterday to say that their The leader, the one called 'General Virgil', will come to the canyon to negotiate with you tomorrow—while humans are busy with military exercises, don't forget about this..."

"He will come if he wants to, and he can talk if he wants to. I'm still afraid of how many Eternal Sun City elves will fail?" The black-eyed warlord waved his hands in annoyance, "It's just that these elves are so messy and have been accusing us of kidnapping some elves. Women and children, you keep asking us to return the captives—his grandma’s, we are also the people of the God of War who value honor more than life, which orc who has suffered thousands of knives would commit such a despicable act of kidnapping a female family member?"

The leader of the orc spectator group also shrugged, showing that he had no clue.
