Riding and Slashing

Chapter 211 A Liar's Routine

Originally, the purpose of capturing Igor was to find out why he could be resurrected.

The second is to allow Igor to testify against Alan Rick in reverse.

As long as Igor can testify against the prince, then anything can be solved.

Grandlon and Fawcett couldn't do this, because they were rebels and couldn't go to this kind of lawsuit, and no one would believe what they said.

But if it was Li Ang and Godric who made the accusation, and Igor testified, it would be easy.

Grandlon and Fawcett can also return to the Sarleon Kingdom through the normal way-they just need to push everything on Alan Rick's head, proving that everything was ordered by the prince, and everything they did was only on orders. For, of course not guilty.

In fact, this is also the truth, and most of the bad things were done by Alan Rick.

The kingdom has just experienced so much consumption and its strength has been greatly damaged. King Ulrik will definitely make the right decision at this time-Godric has also seen it, and the king is very sober now.

As far as Li Ang is concerned, he took back Changhe Town alone, and also helped King Ulrik solve Alan Rick's conspiracy. This performance of wholeheartedly considering the kingdom can make the king no longer have any reason to trip him up. .

Therefore, Li Ang can truly become the master of Changhe Town and even the entire eastern region, and he doesn't have to worry about forming an alliance with Noldor in private.

The lord is taking the initiative to solve the most troublesome problem for the king, and the hidden dangers in the country can be swept away.If Ulrik still dealt with Leon under such circumstances, he would be acting like a fool. Then Li Ang and Godric could rise to the top and mobilize the crowd to rebel.

You know, even if Leon's own Pandor royal status is not considered, Amy's mother alone, including Amy herself, belong to the direct royal blood of the Sarleon Kingdom, and can be supported to become queen—this is probably Ulrik. The reason why the king has always been so wary of Godric.

For Igor to testify, he must at least be persuaded so that Igor can face the king with eloquence.

Originally, there were many ways to persuade Igor, such as the simplest physical means, or a relatively complicated exchange of benefits—as long as he was caught, everything would be easy.

But now that Igor was like this, he couldn't communicate at all, and the plan was forced to abort.

Li Ang originally thought that it should be Prince Alanric's request that the members of the Twilight Knights want to kill Igor.

If there is no accident, the prince should have been deprived of all military power, so he will seek to cooperate with the Twilight Knights to get enough manpower.

Alan Rick probably also wanted to prevent Igor, who knew all his plans, from falling into the hands of others.

But if Alanrick knew that Igor had the ability to become a fool after being caught, why should he be silenced?
In other words, Alan Rick didn't know that Igor would become like this.

It was probably not the prince who resurrected Igor. Alan Rick was not the leader of the heresy, and there was a high probability that he was not the mastermind of this matter.

Who did this?
If Alan Rick was not the one who resurrected Igor, then is this Igor really serving Alan Rick?

Or, is this really Igor?
Li Ang suddenly remembered what he had met in Lion City, that unlucky drunk and that human skin...

Plastic surgery isn't just for women, is it?
Thinking of this, the lord suddenly started to tear Igor's face like he pulled the face of the bad luck bringer.

Grandlon and Fawcett watched Li Ang's movements in astonishment, and then their mouths gradually opened into an O shape.

Igor's face was twisted—not only was it twisted, but the skin of his entire head was almost pulled out.

The aristocratic collar around his neck is not to cover the arrow wound.

But to cover the connection between the skin on the entire head and the body!
This so-called Igor is just a layer of skin on his head.

This is a skin-changing body. This skin is indeed Igor's, but this person is not Igor himself—this so-called death and resurrection is actually fake!

"Sure enough...the three prophets!"

This kind of skin-changing operation, which is enough to confuse the real one, is of course the work of the Three Prophets.

It's the Three Seers working with the Order of the Twilight, not Alanric.

The order to silence did not come from Alanric, but from the Three Prophets.

They mainly didn't want people to see that this Igor was a fake - if this fake Igor was hacked to death, no one would look at the skin on a dead person's face.

"Isn't this Igor? We were deceived?"

Grandlon scowled.

"He does have a letter from Prince Alanric with the prince's private seal on him... But the letter only tells us to go to Sarleon City to hand over the golden seal to Prince Alanric, nothing else is mentioned— —It seems that the immunity agreement may also be a lie..."

Fawcett has already searched 'Igor''s body, holding a small sheepskin scroll to read it, and his expression is also a little frustrated.

"There is no certificate of exoneration... He came here to let you give him the seal of the king first—otherwise, he would not be able to publicly issue the certificate of forgiveness in Sarleon City without the seal of the king in his hand! After all, the immunity agreement granted in private is meaningless to you, because you could have forged it... He just wanted to cheat the king's seal! He cheated at both ends! He cheated both the prince and you!"

Li Ang suddenly realized and stood up.

This fake Igor is using his identity as Prince Alanric to serve the Three Prophets!

Grandlon had the king's seal in his hand, but even if he got a blank exemption document, he couldn't stamp it himself - the crime he committed was to usurp the king's seal, how could he be exonerated by repeating the crime?

All nobles will not approve of this kind of operation.

The correct way is to give the king's golden seal to the prince first, and if Grandlon and the others can capture the king, then let their subordinates detain the king in Changhe Town, and they will go to Sarleon City by themselves.

And Prince Alanric needs to sign the letter of exoneration with the king's seal in the House of Lords in front of many people, and say that all this is a misunderstanding, in order to completely reverse the case and exonerate the two.

For example, the matter of Grand Long defrauding Changhe Town, it can be said that he was ordered by the king to lead troops to protect Changhe Town - the prince can say that the king's gold seal was given to Grand Long by King Ulric himself for temporary storage before he fell ill, but King Ulrik had been sick and forgotten for so long that he misunderstood Grandlon.

In this case, Grandlon is of course innocent.

And Fawcett can also say that his allegiance to Ursula is actually the king's order to protect the northern territory of the kingdom-in fact, Fawcett did lead troops to fight against the Ravencrow Kingdom, which is convincing .

Then he pushed all the murders to Milgan, and swore allegiance to Prince Alanric again in public.

Anyway, his Lion Lake City has been taken back by the kingdom. If Ulrik is caught by them, everything can be charged to the king, and Prince Alanric will be happy to do so.

Because these scapegoats will not cause King Ulrik to lose his reputation or life, but it will only make King Ulrik a little confused after being ill-this just makes Alanric succeed to the throne logically.

In this way, whether others believe it or not, their charges can indeed be completely cleared anyway, and they will not lose their noble status.

But the premise is that the seal must be handed over to Alan Rick first, and the two of them must appear in Sarleon City, and they must show a wronged look to Xue Xue-this is convincing, otherwise it is a kidnapping case.

Prince Alanrick's letter should indeed be true, but Alanrick probably doesn't want to reverse the case for these two people-this guy who pretends to be Igor must have cheated Alanrick with Grandlon and Fawcett as bargaining chips , and also get some benefits from Alan Rick.

Therefore, Alan Rick's letter did not mention a single word about the crime—this was an empty-handed white wolf cheating at both ends, and Alan Rick probably paid a lot of money to get back the golden seal...

"In other words, this fake Igor, he actually used your affairs to deceive the prince first, then used the prince's letter to gain your trust, and then tricked you into giving him the king's seal."

The lord stood up and smiled: "This is indeed in line with the operation method of the three prophets. When they let those bad luck attractors deceive men, that's probably what they did..."

"Then... what should we do now? Since he is fake...then we have no hope!"

Grandlon had already started pulling his hair, looking anxious.

"Actually, there is no difference. Since we captured this heretic alive... In my opinion, this matter is much easier to handle than Alan Rick. It's just a pity that we can't bring down that prince."

On the contrary, Li Ang relaxed a little, as long as he knew the reason of the matter, it could be solved.

"No, I mean... what if the king is also controlled by heresy..."

Grand Long looked nervously at the fake pretending to be Igor.

"Impossible. If they can pretend to be King Ulrik, why would they bother to lie to you? They use real skin, and King Ulrik is not that easy to deal with... I think you This time, the case was really completely overturned, and it was done in the most formal and reasonable way."

Li Ang didn't think that Ulrik would be completely controlled or imitated by heretics.After all, the three prophets didn't even pretend to be a prince, they just pretended to be a dead Igor to cheat at both ends-obviously, they were not as terrible as imagined.

"But this Igor is fake and heretic, so he cannot testify..."

Fawcett spoke halfway, and then reacted suddenly: "Yes, since everything was done by the three prophets, there is no need to find any witnesses. This fake Igor is already evidence!"

"That's right. It is said that the old dens of the Three Prophets are near the Mirk Castle. You go and destroy their lairs, and then 'find the seal of the king' from the lairs of the Three Prophets, and you're done. Fawcett, you can also leave everything behind. It’s a deception to say that it’s a heresy, and all the dead people in your family are called a heresy...you can just push everything to the three prophets, and I can testify for you.”

Adhering to the purpose of uniting all forces that can be united, Li Ang pointed them to an easier way to reverse the case.

"Master Li Ang, you have actually captured Changhe Town, and we are already your captives, but you are still willing to help us in this way. Why?"

Grandlong noticed Li Ang's kindness, but he was a little puzzled.

"Because at least you haven't done anything wrong and evil, and you have actually resisted the enemy for the kingdom—whether it is active or passive, but you did block the Ravencrow army at Fort Eagle Claw, so that the flames of war did not spread. More open..."

The lord's words were quite noble, as if he was serving the country and the people.

"Huh...Master Li Ang, based on what I know about you, this doesn't sound like the main reason..."

Fawcett shook his head, looking a little more relieved now that he had been exonerated.

But he had dealt with Li Ang a lot, and he knew that most of them would be blackmailed by Li Ang—he and Grand Long were Li Ang's captives, and Li Ang needed to testify for them.

It's just that based on Fawcett's understanding of Li Ang, he thinks that Li Ang probably won't make any excessive demands.

"Of course... the main reason is that you have lost your territory now, and I think you can allegiance to me temporarily. For the sake of our mutual trust, I hope that you will write a confession according to the real situation. I will keep your If you read the confession, you will always believe in you, and will definitely testify for you wholeheartedly. Not only will it keep you safe, but it will also give you a place to live..."

Li Ang turned around and walked to the table, spread out two pieces of parchment from the table, and made a 'please' gesture.

Fawcett and Grandlon looked at each other, sighed, and sat down at the table together to pick up their pens.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Li Ang was indeed helping them, so they had nothing to struggle with.

They also knew that Li Ang just kept their handles in his hands to coerce them into doing things for Li Ang, which was already very tolerant of them.

The next day, Fawcett and Grandlon rushed to the northwest with their respective teams, and also brought a letter from the lord to Baron Hereward.

The Lair of the Three Prophets is no longer a secret, it's in the largest swamp near Misty Castle.

Baron Hereward and Leon could barely be called friends because of Earl Auden's relationship. The old man's fief is Castle Mysteria.

Li Ang's letter hoped that Baron Hereward would cooperate with the two men's forces to destroy the Three Prophets, and serve as a witness to prove that the two men "found the King's Great Seal from the Three Prophets' lair".

After sending the two away, Li Ang and Godric sent official documents to Sarleon City respectively, stating that Changhe Town had been taken back.

But Li Ang didn't stay here, he returned directly to White Hart Castle with his troops, while Godric guarded Changhe Town with his guards.

Because before the king's edict came down, Changhe Town still did not belong to Li Ang.Godric is the chief of military affairs in the east, and he should still manage this place temporarily.

If Li Ang took down Changhe Town and just stayed here and did not leave, it would be called taking credit for rewards, or asking for rewards, which would easily arouse King Ulrik's rebellious sentiment.

The lord will never make such a principled mistake, and the attitude of what should be done is to be sufficient.

……

East of White Hart Castle, in the forest.

This is a piece of woodland about eighty miles away from White Hart Castle, almost symmetrical to Mai Xiangling.

Nearly a hundred acres of vacant land had been cleared here, and the surrounding wood piled up into mountains.

Leslie is directing a large group of people to build various buildings in the open space, and there are still many people logging in the direction of White Hart Castle.

In the past, whoever dared to cut wood in such a place could only attract the deadly arrows of the Noldor.

But now, the Noldor elves are actively cutting down the surrounding trees that are in the way, intending to clear a passage from the forest.

Men and the Noldor are building together.

Because this place will be built as a trade market agreed between the lord and the Noldor.

Moreover, a road had to be built leading to White Hart Castle so that carriages could enter and exit.

The location of the market is not for the sake of symmetry, but because this location is about [-] miles away from the horse farm of the Nuo Duofenwei family, and it is more convenient to both sides.

Vendatil is talking to Twilight Knight Neuer here.

"His Royal Highness Islandil is currently negotiating with Aldalian... but it has no effect. Aldalian seems to be dazzled by hatred. I am very worried that he will do something irrational."

Neuer looked a little anxious: "Aldalian insists that all this is a human trick..."

"Did he not have the patience to observe for a month or two? The market built in this forest is completely under the control of the Noldor tribes. Lord Leon will not even send human troops in. What kind of tricks can there be? Ardalion The bastard is always bringing enemies to the forest..."

Vendatil was also very dissatisfied, but she seemed to have forgotten that at the beginning, she also felt that "human beings cannot be trusted"...

"The human beings who build the road must be protected. And according to what Miss Leslie said, the first caravans are coming soon... The road has not been repaired yet, and it must be very difficult for them to carry goods through the forest. This was originally planned It shows His Excellency Li Ang's sincerity, but I am worried that Aldalian will make trouble..."

Neuer sighed at this point: "Aldalian became very manic after being defeated by Juda, and he didn't listen to anyone, and His Royal Highness Islandil couldn't persuade him."

"Now His Majesty Felgas Aner has asked Sedren to form a patrol team to protect the commercial roads along the way. Even His Majesty Kellerfon Ill has sent a patrol team to maintain the safety of the vicinity—Kay His Majesty Levon Yil has not used force for hundreds of years, and even he is so supportive of the establishment of the market, why is Ardalian still like this..."

Wen Datil had the word 'uncomfortable' written all over his face.

"Perhaps I can guess why..."

Lisa Dilan jumped down from the tree house next to him: "Aldalian suffered the first defeat in his life at the hands of Juda, but Juda's tribe was beaten to pieces by Master Leon and us... …He always thinks he is the strongest fighter, and he is not reconciled."

"For this reason?"

Wenda Dier didn't quite understand this mentality, she was just a martial arts master, and she didn't have the desire to make contributions.Becoming the teacher of the Noldor rangers is purely because he does not want to see the Noldor girls captured.

Neuer nodded instead: "There may indeed be a reason for this..."

"Then...if he really attacks the human merchants who entered here, what should we do?"

Vendatil frowned deeply: "Is it killing each other? You have to find a way to convince Aldalian."

"But now Aldalian has become very irritable, and he can hardly communicate. Moreover, he seems to have left the territory with his troops. I don't know where he is now, so His Royal Highness Islandil asked me to come and inform you."

Neuer also frowned and sighed.

"It seems that this matter is not easy to handle... I will report to Lord Li Ang right now."

Lisa Dilan quickly put on the hood and planned to return to White Hart Castle.

"Rissadylan, Your Highness Islandil has restored your noble status in the Aino family, and you can return to the family at any time... Do you still want to serve as a guard by Lord Li Ang?"

Neuer asked behind Lisa Dilan.

"I promised to be loyal to him... As long as he keeps his word, I will keep his word. Moreover, the favors owed must always be paid back."

After Lisa Dilan finished speaking, he disappeared into the woods without looking back.
