Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 112 Killing Earl Bram

The hunting began. According to the king's order, each person brought only one guard, and dozens of horses walked slowly towards the Correa forest.The morning light shone on them, but somehow they revealed a sense of twilight.

The old king Ashuraf Aquinakos hunched his waist, sat on a chair, and watched Shire and his party riding a horse-drawn bow and gradually drifting away. The skin and the veins on his hands were bulging, he propped up his body vigorously, and barely stood up, but at this time, there were no figures of Charles and his party.

Butters hurriedly stepped forward and supported the old king Ashuraf Aquinax, Ashuraf muttered to himself, "The pride of a young man is hidden in the spring breeze, and the pride of a man is hidden in the scorching sun, but I only have one share." The autumn wind is gradually returning to the cold winter."

At this time, the reviewing army had already gone to receive the reward, and the nobles in the royal city and His Royal Highness all went to Correa Forest to hunt.In Nuo Da's camp, there was only the old king, him, some servants and guards, and two envoys from the Principality.

Charles and Les walked in the forest, thinking that it would be safer if there were more people, Charles wanted to walk with the eldest prince, but the palpitations from the divine stone interrupted his thoughts.

Earl William and Knight Bernard did not hunt with them. They were all sick and had to rest outside.The reality is that they are unwilling to bow their heads and nod their heads like the earls under the old king's command.

So Charles had to walk in the jungle with Rice.The Correa forest is full of bare tree trunks, the ground is covered with rotting leaves, and the horseshoes feel slightly sunken when they step on the ground.

Charles guessed that the infantry and knights of the Aquinacos family had done some tricks, because in the forest, you can see prey such as pheasants and wild deer after walking a certain distance.

Charles and the others were chasing a pheasant, Les was helping, and Charles was in charge of hunting.The archery method taught by Rice is indeed suitable for horseback archery. Charles is riding a horse, with both feet on the pedals, holding the bow in his left hand, and pulling the bow with his right hand, and the arrow will go out.It's just that the accuracy needs to be practiced, and the arrow flashed past the pheasant.

The pheasant found out that the person chasing him was a rookie, so he immediately relaxed, no longer swaying left and right like before, trying to dodge desperately, and now he feels like walking in a garden.

When Shire was hunting the pheasant, Earl Bram and his guards were slowly following along the trail left by Shire.They followed quietly, like a predatory snake.

The so-called open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against.No matter how high the kung fu is, you are afraid of being poisoned.Earl Bram combined the two, and he chose to shoot poison arrows in the dark.Even if Shire's martial arts skills are high, it will kill him if he touches it.And his guards are sharp archers.

"Master, can this work?" The guard looked a little flustered, holding a few arrows in his hand, and the arrows were black and purple.You must know that assassinating a powerful earl is a capital offense. If he is found out, he does not know whether Master Bram will die, but he will definitely die.

There was a sinister smile on Bram's face, and there was a sense of revenge in the laughter, as if Shire had already died in front of him. "Don't worry, this is a god-given opportunity given by the old king. As long as no one sees it, it's not what we did. Even if there are people who doubt it, who will stand up for the dead Shire. After death, there will be nothing."

Bram suddenly became sad: "My poor son, don't worry, it doesn't matter if he is good at martial arts, this poisonous arrow is smeared with gut-piercing poison, just rub it against him and he will die."

The guard thought of his wife and children who had been taken away. Master Bram had promised that if he succeeded, he would be able to obtain a fief in Master Bram's territory.

He clenched the shaft of the arrow tightly, with determination in his eyes, he took this risk, if he could become a nobleman, his death would be worth it.

"Yes, sir, don't worry, as long as Shire appears in front of me, my arrows will not miss."

The two followed slowly along the trail left by Shire, when they suddenly heard the sound of hearty laughter, Bram hissed lightly, and the two of them rolled over and dismounted silently.

For this sneak attack, he specially prepared a cage for the horse, and the horse's hoof was also wrapped in linen.Just to avoid Charles' attention.

After thinking about it, Bram didn't bring a bow and arrow. Instead, he brought a dagger with a dark light and a black blade.

The guard carried a bow on his back, and the two cut through the cover of the tree trunk and touched it lightly.When he got closer, he saw that Charles and his guards were roasting a pheasant over the fire.

Charles and Les sat facing each other, and Charles' back was just exposed.Bram couldn't hide his excitement, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "God-given opportunity, Carlo, my good son, I'm going to avenge you."

The guard gave Earl Bram a wink, then picked up the bow behind his back, holding a poisoned arrow in his hand, and slowly leaned towards Charles.He is like a poisonous snake, almost integrated with the environment, so that the prey can't notice it at all.When you get into the hunting range, kill with one hit.

A little closer, a little closer.

The guard slapped a string on his hand, and the arrow with a glint of light pointed straight at Charles' back.

If he got closer, even if Charles was wearing inner armor, he would be sure to shoot through it.Let the arrow shoot into Charr's flesh.

The distance was almost the same, the guard stood still slowly, all the battle energy in his body was stimulated, flowing in the direction of the arrow, condensed, and finally turned into a black arrow light.

Just when the guard was about to make a move, there was a shrill scream from beside him.

No, Ciel set a trap, but Master Bram didn't notice.

Before he had time to think about it, and he had no time to look back at Earl Bram's injury, the guard suddenly calmed down and fixed his eyes on Charles.Time suddenly slowed down, and the guard seemed to be able to see Charles' tense muscles. Just when Charles wanted to look back, the guard let go.

The arrow condensed with fighting spirit flew out quickly, like a poisonous snake when hunting, it was fast and killed with one blow.At this time, he saw the guard beside Charles rushing over, he slowly lowered his bow, and looked up at the sky as if resigned to his fate.He knew that the arrow would hit, and he also knew that he couldn't escape.I only hope that Earl Bram can escape with his life.

Because if you observe carefully, you will find that the guard's arms are trembling unconsciously. Obviously, he has concentrated all his strength into this arrow.

Earl Bram let out a maniacal laugh and then a cry when he saw the fast arrows shooting straight at Shire.

He knew that Shire was hopeless, the poison was a mixture of many kinds of poisons, and even he had no antidote.He was released and tried on an adult wild boar, which died within an hour.Now the poison of the arrow quenched is ten times that of that time.

"Damn Shire, you will die with a rotten body, and you will not even have a complete body when you die.

After you die, the Iris family will perish, and I will send someone to secretly dig up your family's graves one by one, leaving all your families exposed to the wilderness.

Charles, you killed my two sons, damn you. "

Suddenly, Earl Bram's ecstatic face froze, because in his sight, Charles didn't lie down on the ground as he expected, but stood up straight.Turned around, even smiled at him.

"I knew it was you, Earl Bram."

Just now, when the two of Bram approached secretly, Charles had a warning from the divine stone in his heart, and there was a slight feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake on his back.

Although he asked Les to set up the traps in advance, it was just a matter of luck. He didn't know if there were enemies, when the enemies would come, and where the enemies would come from. He couldn't set up traps everywhere he went. Trap it.

So when he sensed the danger, the Aquinacos family ran their battle qi crazily, and the vigorous battle qi in their bodies was stimulated and merged with the armor behind them.

So when the arrow came, although Charles couldn't dodge it, he simply adjusted his body and used his inner armor to resist the bow and arrow. In the end, although the long arrow shot into the armor, it didn't penetrate the armor, so there was no danger.

When Les was running, he drew his bow from behind, and with his right hand, the arrow flew out and pierced the guard's throat.

The guard resisted weakly with trembling hands, the arrow passed through the arm, passed through the throat, and finally stuck in the tree trunk.

The guards fell down helplessly, leaving only Earl Bram, who was helpless.

"Master, how should Earl Bram deal with it?"

Bram secretly clenched the poisoned dagger in his hand, with a flattering expression on his face.

"Master Charles, please forgive me, I have no right to accept the land you have given me."

Charles' cold voice came: "Shoot."

"Yes, sir."

Les fired his bow again, and the arrow flew towards Earl Bram, and finally nailed him to the tree trunk with him.

After finishing all this, Les quickly walked up to Charles, "Master, please forgive me. Please forgive me for not being able to eliminate the danger for you."

Charles pulled out the arrow behind him, and there was a faint light on the arrow. Charles was startled. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, otherwise he would be in danger if the arrow pierced through his armor.

He believed that Earl Bram would not be stingy when buying poison.

Seeing this scene, Les looked even more flustered, "Master." Les felt a little gloomy in his heart. He had a problem with the young master, but now he was monitoring his back for the young master, and now he was touched by someone.He also secretly released poisoned arrows.Will the young master doubt him? Does the young master still have the same level of trust in him as before?

Charles didn't intend to comfort Rice. In any case, as a guard, it was his problem to let the enemy touch him.

Charles walked towards Bram and his guards. Killing an inner court earl is definitely not a trivial matter, even if Bram shot first, but after going out, Bram died, he didn't die, what he said Who would believe it.

Dead people can't speak, so it's better not to even have a corpse, so it's better to just destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces. Anyway, no one will see it, so it's good to just die and refuse to admit it when the time comes.

Charles walked up to Earl Bram, who was nailed to the tree, and saw a dagger under him. Charles picked it up and took a look. The blade of the dagger gleamed faintly, and it was also poisoned.

This taught Charles a lesson, he must practice his bow hard after returning home.Don't approach if you solve the problem, don't approach if you can solve it remotely in the future, and don't touch when you are close.

Ciel gathered the bodies of the two together.Burnt, too conspicuous, no way.Just throw it here, but has he found any big carnivores in the woods, no.Then just bury it, it's easy to hide a few people in such a big forest.

Rice finally regained his senses, and hurried to Charles, and together with Charles, they settled Bram and his guards.

In winter, although there is a layer of soft and rotten leaves on the surface, the soil below is frozen solid, and whether the two of them have a shovel, they both have fighting spirit, and the fighting spirit covers their hands, digging the soil like washing sand.After a while, a big hole was dug out.

Les dragged Bram, who was nailed to the tree, to the pit together with his guards.Bright red blood soaked the soil, looking at Bram and his guards lying on the ground.

Although the two of them were cold, it is a virtue to make up the knife, and Charles picked up the arrow again and drove towards Earl Bram's heart.

Les looked at this scene with some surprise, the young master is really cautious enough sometimes.

The body was put inside, and then began to fill with soil. Filling with soil was much more convenient than digging a hole. The hole he and Rice had dug with great effort was filled in a few minutes.

Charles and Rice simply covered up the blood, and followed the direction they came to find their mounts.Charles and Rice followed suit.Earl Bram loved his mount so much that after Bram died, his mount stayed with him forever.

After everything was cleaned up, Charles looked at himself. Some mud was slightly stained on the breeches, and some mud, rotten leaves, and blood were attached to the boots. Charles stomped his feet, and the mixed house above It fell to the ground.

Charles was fascinated by the earth pit they had just filled. Who would have thought that such an ordinary earth pit buried an earl of the Principality of Artem.Charles was full of absurdity.When will it be so easy to die an earl?He remembered that Earl Violet was also a little old, and he might die if he fell off the horse.

The cold wind in winter whistled among the bare branches, and the biting cold wind blew on Charles' face, and the cold pain made Charles wake up.The brain is working again, it is impossible to assassinate Earl Violet, maybe the king is waiting for them to kill each other.Ciel believed that Earl Bram would not be the only nobleman to die.

Since the nobles kill each other, will the princes kill each other?
Charles thinks there is a high probability that it will. Brotherhood is an old tradition of the Aquinax family. Is there any more convenient and quicker method than humane destruction?

What is the purpose of the king's move?
Charles pondered carefully, and various thoughts emerged in his heart, whether to provoke the nobles in the royal city, choose a suitable heir, or...
