Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 51 The Lord will pay his debts

Four hours later, Xia Houyan walked out of the tent while wiping his hands with a handkerchief.

Bloody footprints one step at a time.

Master Laurie, Alice and a few guards who were waiting in the distance hurriedly came over.

Xia Houyan raised his eyebrows when he saw that Tom Lawrence was among them:

"How are you feeling? How are you?"

"Reporting to the lord, it's okay..." Lawrence said embarrassingly.

In the previous raid, the unfortunate guard had his head cut off by a mercenary knight's saber, and received a bento for the third time in just a few days...

Of course, then Lawrence was resurrected by the Lord Lord again, and now he can live and dance.

Xia Houyan felt that if he cast Ya to Hengdian on Earth as an extra, one person would be able to cover all the corpse scenes in the group.

"Since I've recovered, do me a little favor." Xia Houyan threw the handkerchief to Lawrence and pouted at the tent, "I'm tired, clean up the inside - the scene is a bit ugly, I can't let a girl like Anjie clean it up. ."

Lawrence's face suddenly turned the color of bitter gourd.

Is the scene in the tent really just "a little" ugly?

Although everyone followed the Lord's instructions and stayed far away from the tent where he was interrogating the prisoners, they could inevitably hear the screams of that bastard mercenary!
Four hours!Four full hours!
The Lord's interrogation lasted for four hours, and everyone in the distance vaguely heard the screams for four hours!

Master Laurie even felt a few obvious mental magic fluctuations - according to his judgment, the lord in the tent should be using the apprentice-level magic "awakening technique" to constantly wake up the fainted mercenary again. !

Master Laurie, who has always been ruthless, now looks at the Lord with a trace of sincere respect in his eyes.

It is not uncommon for there to be jailers who can interrogate prisoners for four hours in a row, but the 19-year-old nobleman who can make the seemingly tough-looking mercenary leader howl in different ways for four hours, even if he searched the entire continent, he can't find a single one!
Master Laurie deeply doubted what the hell his lord had learned at the Mage Academy.

Xia Houyan also taught Lawrence meticulously:
"When cleaning, remember to take a bucket of water and rinse the ground well; also, carefully check if there is anything missing on the ground - I used several broken iron rods, so don't leave metal debris or any human body fragments. What, when it's time to scare Anjie again..."

Everyone shuddered in unison.

Several living dead people without body temperature felt so cold.

Lawrence didn't dare to listen anymore - he looked at his companions with the eyes of a martyr, and then covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, carrying a bucket, and resolutely walked into the lord's tent to clean up .

No one asked if the mercenary prisoner should be locked up again - they realized with interest that after the "interrogation" by the Lord, it was impossible for that guy to survive, and even the quantifiers might have to be It is more appropriate to change it to the "Beach" mercenary prisoner.

Lawrence's retching came from the tent.

In order to divert everyone's attention, the compassionate Master Laurie hurriedly asked:

"Lord Lord, you are all squeezed... uh...' ask' what information came out?"

"I think he should have told everything he knew, and the information he spit out is no less than the blood he spit out." Xia Houyan wiped the bloody crowbar with a handkerchief and shrugged, "That's how people are, when they want to survive. They may be tight-lipped at times, but when they just want to die, they turn into open cans and can pour out any beans!”

Several living dead guards stared at the lord with ghostly eyes.

Only Master Laurie gave a thumbs up and agreed with Lord Lord's psychological analysis:

"You really are a master interrogator, a humanoid can opener!"

Far away from the camp, a certain tin named Clement sneezed for no apparent reason.

"This bastard's name is Jose Tabili." Xia Houyan tapped behind him with a crowbar -- Lawrence was pinching his nose, and transporting a lump of bright red indescribable meat tied to a chair out of the tent , "It's the deputy head of a mercenary group called 'Desolation Wind' on the southern wasteland. Master, our previous guess was correct. It is true that someone hired them and wanted to exterminate our convoy."

"Who?" Master Laurie's eyes were obviously murderous.

"Archduke Houston." Xia Houyan pointed the crowbar at the sun and checked the shiny metal surface, "It cost me five thousand gold coins. I didn't expect that the price of a human head would be quite high for such a despicable lord."

Master Laurie narrowed his eyes.

In the memory of the master, the Archduke of Houston is not a very distinctive character.

This imperial aristocrat is a distant relative of His Majesty the current emperor. Although his title is extremely high and his territory is the largest among the noble territories, his territory is located in the desolate southern frontier, far from the economic center of the empire. Therefore, Archduke Houston is in the empire. He does not have much power in the political arena, and has always played the role of a silent good man.

What confuses Master Laurie most is that the relationship between the Grand Duchy of Houston and the Duchy of Igor should be said to be good in the past. The two lords even brought their families and held a banquet together at Eagle's End Castle...

Could it be that they really beat the underdogs, after a bizarre case of treason, the desolate Igor family has reached the point where everyone can step on it? ——But taking the risk and asking mercenaries to kill the lord, what good is it for the Duke of Houston?
Master Laurie was puzzled.

"The problem now is," Xia Houyan on the side obviously didn't think so much, he put the crowbar back in his belt and frowned, "Since Archduke Houston is an enemy rather than a friend, then our original plan to go to Yanxi City to supply the convoy will be It's changed..."

Both Alice and Master Laurie nodded in agreement.

Since the Archduke Houston has already tried to see it, it is naturally impossible for their team to swagger into the family's old nest, Yanxi City.

"My plan is that the convoy will continue to camp here, and then a few of us will sneak into Yanxi City as stealthily as possible, get supplies to bring back to the convoy, and then continue on the road." Xia Houyan said solemnly, "Although one day I will It's not wise to confront the Archduke Houston with blood and blood."

Master Laurie nodded and smiled reassuringly.

He was very satisfied to see that his lord was not easily dazzled by anger like his peers of this age, but always maintained a calm judgment.

——If you let him know that the body in front of him is the soul of an "outer god" of the earth, I don't know how Master Laurie would feel.

"In addition, if we secretly enter the city, there may be another gain." Xia Houyan narrowed his eyes.

Master Laurie found that the eyes of the Lord Lord flashed the look that a dragon would only have when he saw the treasure.

"Isn't this Mr. Taibiri the deputy head of 'Desolation Wind', he just told me during the interrogation that the reason why the chief of 'Desolation Wind' did not participate in this operation was because he was busy recently. Helping the Archduke of Houston escort an important cargo to Rock Creek."

"What cargo?" Master Laurie, like the most sophisticated thief, smelled the windfall.

"Elf plants!" The Lord looked at his chief mage, and the eyes of the two old fritters instantly matched each other.
