Working Prophet.

Chapter 567 Du Lun's Request

I don't know when Du Lun was sent to Hongyan Island. Li Yu promised the female lord that he would leave Lionheart Castle tomorrow, and he definitely couldn't wait that long.

Therefore, the previous plan will not work, and we can only take a little risk, but the premise is that Du Lun agrees to be robbed.

It was not easy for Du Lun to make such a choice, because once he left, his title and reputation would be lost.

For many nobles, it would be better to die, not to mention that it might affect his family.

Du Lun thought for a long time this time, until he remembered what Li Yu said before, if he just went to Hongyan Island, no one would seriously investigate the real culprit who killed Edward II.

Based on Duran's understanding of Gars and the nobles in the royal capital, they will probably launch a bad luck ghost and pin all the crimes on that person.

In this way, even if this matter has been satisfactorily resolved.

Thinking of this, Du Lun finally made up his mind, and said in a low voice, "If your people save me from the black-hearted Joniel, how will we leave the capital?"

"You don't have to worry about this, just remember not to resist." Li Yu said.

"Resistance?" Du Lun was a little puzzled.

Li Yu explained patiently, "I definitely can't let someone rescue you just like that, not only will your reputation be completely ruined, but I may also be suspected.

"After all, I asked someone to intercede for you before, and I even asked someone to come in and bring you the sacred artifact of the Shuangxiu Sect, so next we will play a play together and 'kill' you.

"If all you take away is the corpse, all the troubles above will be gone. Some people will think that the person who came to rob you has a grudge against you. It is not enough to kill you, but the corpse must also be taken away.

"And this can also preserve your reputation and minimize the impact on your family, but the price is that you will have to change your name and identity in the future.

"The green field is far away from the king. If you are there, you don't have to worry about being recognized."

Du Lun thought for a while and said, "I can go with you, or even join the Shuangxiu religion, and believe in the gods behind you, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"You need to allow me to continue investigating the death of Edward II, find out the real murderer, and release me back to the capital to avenge Edward II at the right time. If possible, I also hope that you can also provide me with some help , when I need it."

"No problem." Li Yu agreed without much hesitation. .

Because he knew that this was the biggest reason why Du Lun was willing to give up everything and go back to the West with him.

After chatting with Du Lun, Li Yu went to Ge Lipeng and asked him to help build a murder weapon that could be used to "kill" Du Lun overnight.

Then he left Lionheart Castle before dark.

Because Li Yu will return to another plane tonight, he needs to arrange everything before leaving.

…………

Early the next morning, Duran was indeed told by the guards in the dungeon that he would be taken out for execution.

The place of execution is Crow Square.

It was also the place where the prisoners in the capital, especially the prisoners of noble status, lost their heads.

When the guard told the news to the man locked in the dungeon, he wanted to see panic and fear on the latter's face.

But what disappointed him was that Du Lun's expression didn't change much, and he looked as calm as ever.

The guard couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Don't worry, you won't die, His Majesty will only flog you for the sake of the Betak family's service to the empire for many years, and will not kill you.

"However, the executioner is Mr. Black Heart Joniel, I guess you will feel better in the future."

The guard was a little gloating, but Du Lun remained silent, just stood up from the cell silently, and followed the guard out.

He knew the reason why Garth put the execution place in the Crow Square, because there were usually a lot of idlers around there, waiting to see the scene where the head fell to the ground.

Although Gals didn't intend to really kill him, he obviously wouldn't let go of any opportunity to humiliate him.

As an aristocrat, naked, being beaten repeatedly with a whip in public, it can be said that all the dignity of the aristocrat was completely lost.

Du Lun is just thankful that his wife and daughter are not in the capital, so he doesn't have to see this cruel scene and after that... even worse things that may happen.

Otherwise, the former head of the royal guard really doubted whether he could continue to act according to the plan.

After leaving the cell, Du Lun felt the long-lost sunshine falling on him.And I don't know where I got the news, but some people ran outside the defense team's dungeon and waited to see how embarrassed he was.

Some people were cursing, as if they were aggrieved by Du Lun's offense against the new emperor.

Du Lun also ignored those guys, just squinted his eyes and looked at the prison car outside.

"I'll just walk there."

"No, Lord Joniel personally found this prison van for you." The guard who escorted him said, "You have no choice, you must go in this van."

Du Lun didn't argue any more after hearing the words, and just got into the prison car silently.

Later, he discovered that the prison van was not going to Crow Square, it circled the city several times, and it was going very slowly.

It was not until almost noon that we reached the end of the trip.

And a man in a black robe with a long nose and small ears was already waiting for him there.

"Head of the Guard, Du Lun, I have known you for a long time." The man grinned, showing his yellow teeth, "Oh, sorry, look at my memory, you are no longer the Chief of the Guard."

Du Lun also raised his eyebrows, "Black Heart Joniel?"

"I didn't expect you to have heard the name of a small person like me." Black Heart Joniel looked very happy.

Du Lun said, "Your reputation is not small, and it even spread to the capital, but it's just some bad rumors."

"Well, I am not very friendly to my enemies, and it must be because of this that His Majesty called me to execute you, but please don't get me wrong, I have no enmity with you.

"At least not before the execution." Joniel smiled, "But after that, you might hate me."

"Stop talking nonsense." Du Lun said without changing his face, "Hurry up and do it, His Majesty should still be waiting for you to return to your command."

"Okay, that's refreshing enough, then I won't be too polite next time, I will treat you well, Sir Durham, and I even ordered a leather whip just for you."

While talking, Joniel asked someone to take out a cowhide whip as thick as three fingers, and then dipped salt water in a wooden barrel.

He asked Du Lun to kneel on the wooden platform in front of him, facing the crowd, while he stood behind Du Lun.

He spat in his hand, then tried the whip in his hand, swung it round and whipped it down hard.

After a loud bang!

A terrifying blood mark was drawn from the skin of the former head of the royal guard immediately, and the skin was split open because it could not withstand such a strong blow, and blood gushed out from the wound.

However, Du Lun only groaned slightly.
