Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 8
"I told you a long time ago, there are 150 soldiers from our family in Tianshuiquan, you still don't believe it." Brynden suddenly snarled.

Arthur looked back, and it turned out to be a group of infantry, just a few hundred meters behind them.

Visually estimated around 100 people.

The appearance of this group of soldiers made the whole team agitated, and some people were visibly panicked.

Arthur knew it was time to reassure him.

"Don't panic, let's speed up our pace and run forward. Once we enter the castle, they won't be able to get in."

When the lord gave an order, the team of more than [-] people immediately moved faster.

Yule rode his horse and ran to Arthur, and asked tentatively, "The enemy is approaching menacingly, why don't I leave first and go to Shili City for reinforcements?"

Arthur smiled, "I think you want to sneak out early? Stay in the team honestly. If I don't see you when you arrive at the castle, you can continue to wander."

Of course he knew to ask for help, and he also knew that someone with the surname Bracken must go to Stone Ledge City.

But it can't be Yule.

Because Earl Janos of the master's house did not recognize Jules as the second son, even if the manager Amber ran away, it was more likely than Jules to get soldiers.

Better for Arthur to ask for soldiers himself.

But now as long as he rides away on horseback, the whole team will lose their minds, and then they will all have their own way of life.

The lords have all run away, and they will definitely plan for themselves.

The last few who ran that way might be caught by the Blackwood soldiers.

Although Arthur didn't care much about the lives of these people, he still had the responsibility of the lord now, so he had to think about them.

Yule remained silent and continued on his way with the team.

More than fifty people ran wildly and arrived at the small castle in the evening.

Those who ride horses like Arthur and Amber are okay, not very tired.

Sergeants like Piper and peasant soldiers like Darren can only slap their faces and grit their teeth to drive away the tiredness of chasing them in the second half of the road.

After sending people to call all the nearby people into the castle, Arthur rushed to the basement with Amber, Yule and a few others, preparing to find the golden dragon accumulated by the family.

First of all, I want to prepare some gifts for Earl Genos of Stone Ledge City, after all, he wants to send troops.

Secondly, Arthur was going to run away if he could not get the soldiers from Stone Ledge City. After all, Blackwood really had thousands of soldiers.

The third is to prevent Yu Le from doing tricks.

Amber is very honest, if he is caught by Yu Le, let him cheat the money and slip away.

Then Arthur really wanted to cry but had no tears.

The reason for taking Yule is very simple, it is to let him know that he took Jinlong away, and make him die of cheating money.

The basement was managed by an old man named Cyril, and Arthur was not there when they went down.

But the key to the room where the valuables are stored is in Arthur's hand, and the spare key is hidden in Arthur's bedroom.

So don't worry about not being able to open it.

Arthur took out the key and told Amber to open it.

"Why isn't this Cyril here?" Arthur asked the soldiers behind him.

One person stayed in the castle today and replied, "He said his son was busy and went out at noon."

Arthur recalled it, as if this Cyril's son was a gambler, and old Cyril had worried about his son a lot.

Lay spinach is a scourge in any plane.

In the memory of the original owner, Cyril even stole things from Arthur's house for his son.

The stolen items were worthless, and the original owner criticized them verbally after they found out, but no punishment was imposed.

Amber opened the door, and several people walked in.

Arthur followed the original owner's memory to find the money box, but found that it had already been opened.

The money in it also disappeared.

"Fuck, where's the money? What's going on?" Arthur was stunned.

Amber also often comes to this room, and was shocked to see this scene.

"Where's your lord's money? That's a full seven hundred gold dragons."

Yu Le and other people also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Arthur turned around with a sullen face, looking at the few people behind him.

Amber was the first to deny it, shaking his head like a rattle: "My lord, it's not me, I have no chance to steal money."

Arthur looked at Jules.

Yu Le laughed angrily, "If I had stolen it, I would have gone to King's Landing to be happy and unrestrained, why should I look at your face?"

As for the other soldiers, there was no chance to come to the basement, and it was impossible to know that there were valuables hidden in this room.

Arthur thought to himself, who could it be?

None of the people in front of them had time to commit the crime, and there were no more than three people who knew the money was hidden here.

After glancing at the people in front of them, Arthur and Yule said in unison: "Cyril."

"It's him, and this old boy has time to do this." Yu Le said as if he was taking credit.

Arthur nodded, suddenly remembering something.

If he can cross over by himself, then the original owner must be dead.

And there are only two kinds of people who have the motive to kill the original owner.

One is blood relatives like Yule, who can get inheritance and knight title after Arthur's death.

But although Yu Le is a type of Sanhe great god, his mind is not very bad, so he should be ruled out.

One is plotting against Arthur's property.

Including movable properties such as Jinlong and immovable properties such as territories.

Only a few families such as Blackwood could take away Arthur's territory.

And the youngest of the Blackwood family is still tied up, so it cannot be his family.

The most likely thing is that a servant like Cyril who gets along with him day and night, poisons him secretly, and then runs away with money.

If Arthur's guess is correct, it should be that Cyril killed the original owner last night, and then found the spare key, planning to slip away quietly during the chaotic period when Yule was fighting to inherit the title of the domain after the original owner's death.

It's just that Brinden pretended to be a bandit and robbed the village, giving Cyril an excellent chance to escape.

"I must find this old boy." Arthur said fiercely.

Because of this change, Arthur had no choice but to ask the soldiers of Earl Janos.

Otherwise, as soon as the territory is lost, he will become a landless nobleman and go out to wander.

Westeros is not the mainland of Calradia, where you can just go to a place and can't pull a team.

The loyalty of the people to the lord is still very strong.

"It's not too late. I'll take the two of you and set off to ask for troops. Amber will be in charge of the defense of the castle, and Yule will serve as a staff officer to help make suggestions."

After giving the order, Arthur told Amber again: "Remember, you can't let Brynden go, this is the key to our survival."

Then he rode away with two soldiers.

After running not far, I saw soldiers with torches surrounding the castle.

The flames faintly revealed the flock of crows surrounding the weirwood banner.

"Damn it, this Blackwood is really bullying people." A soldier said.

"It's not sure who bullies who?" Arthur reined in his horse and headed west, "Come on, let's shake people."

There is a bridge to the west, which can cross the Red Fork River. From there, pass the Kneeling Stack and go south all the way to Shili City.

The three of them rode their horses and galloped wildly in the dark, towards Bracken's only hope at the Moulin Rouge.
