Riding and Slashing

Chapter 298 Planting, who wouldn't?

Baron Leo Fwan's family actually lived in Fox Town.

The environment in Talboya was too poor to be a suitable place to live, and the quarry was usually a place where criminals were exiled, so nobles certainly would not live here.

In fact, after Amy was cheated, the first thing she thought of was Leo Fwan—whoever led her to Fox Town was the perpetrator of this conspiracy.

Therefore, after Amy had a conflict with the Lion Knights outside the tavern, she immediately found the Leo Vwan family's manor.

But when she came to the manor, she only saw corpses everywhere and a dozen fallen people wandering around.

The manor had been slaughtered, not even the children and dogs were spared.

And while Amy was inspecting the manor, a team of the Lion Knights came here together with the security patrol team of the Fox Town, led by Baron Leo Vine.

Obviously, this is no coincidence.

As a result, there was another charge on Amy's head-summoning the fallen to brutally slaughter Baron Leoferwan's family...

Amy knew that she couldn't explain it. Leo Fwan himself was the leader of the Lion Knights. Since he used his own manor to frame him, he didn't give Amy any chance at all.

The Lion Knights did charge directly.

As a result, the female soldiers of the Griffin Claw fought a battle with the Lion Knights in the manor, and the end result was that both sides suffered losses, and no one took advantage.

Originally, the hundreds of people from the Lion Knights could not trap Amy, but after Amy had just fought with the Lion Knights, the garrison of Lion Lake City rushed to the town of Guihu—quicker than expected Much more, as if rehearsed in advance.

As a result, Amy failed to rush out, and had to stick to the manor after nearly a hundred people were killed or injured.

Several brave female knights volunteered to break through and report the news, and they did succeed in bringing the news to Godric.

But sometimes, it may not be a good thing to have reinforcements to rescue - Godric did successfully rush into the Fox Town, but he was also trapped inside, and was classified as treason and rebellion.

Of course, Godric's rescue still played a role. At least he brought a lot of troops. After the father and daughter joined forces, there were more than 1000 people, and they should be able to hold on for a short time.

……

When Li Ang organized his troops and was about to set off for Guihu Town, the king's envoy came to Changhe Town.

This messenger turned out to be Malbert!
"The king's decree...Godric, his eldest son Andrew, and his second daughter Amy...dedicated themselves to heresy, murdered the prince, and caused massacres. The crime is unforgivable! Countless residents witnessed the crimes he committed...King Order: Traitor , Marshal of the Kingdom, and Earl of Changhe Town, Li Ang led the army to eliminate the rebels, and punished the treasoners and their followers for the kingdom!"

This king's decree is very long, but the key points are the above key words.

The king ordered Leon to lead troops to eliminate the rebellion...and the so-called rebels were Godric and Amy.

Li Ang is a rebel, and it is indeed his duty to fight against rebellion, but when this king's order came out, he faced a huge problem...

Once the king's order is received, everyone in Changhe Town and other places will regard all of Li Ang's next military operations as 'ordered to eliminate rebellion'.

In other words, this is equivalent to Leon regarding Godric and Amy as heresy and rebellion.

No matter what he will actually do, anyway, as long as Li Ang leads troops to dispatch now, everyone will think that he is acting in accordance with the king's order, which means that he agrees with everything said in the king's order—that Godric and Amy's accusation can never be cleared up.

Of course, he can also use excuses such as organizing the troops to delay, or simply go out without sending troops—but if he doesn't send troops to rescue immediately, how long can Amy survive being trapped in the Fox Town?
At this time, Li Ang finally understood the intention of this conspiracy.

This is not just to entrap Godric's family, but also to use Amy as bait to entrap himself!
But if Li Ang disobeyed the king's order, then he would probably be regarded as a rebel—as a rebel, if he received the king's order but did not get rid of the rebellion, then he was obviously in collusion with the rebel, and he was definitely a traitor. ...

People in Li Ang's own territory may believe him, but most people in other regions will regard him as an accomplice of heretics and traitors.

The people are blind. Except for White Hart Castle and Maixiangling, people in other places will regard Li Ang and Amy as enemies because of this, and even the people in Changhe Town are difficult to control.

Anyway, if Leon disobeyed the king's order, or sent troops to rescue Amy, Amy and Godric would not be able to recover from the charges, and they would be regarded as heretics.

But if Li Ang doesn't save them, Godric and Amy will die in Fox Town sooner or later...

Moreover, it is currently impossible for Li Ang to raise the flag to rebel on the grounds of 'the king's order is unfair' - this reason is not very sufficient, the rule of the Sarleon Kingdom has not actually had a big problem, and there are not many rebels at this time will support him.

In addition, this matter involved heresy, and "countless residents witnessed its crimes with their own eyes", even if Leon and Godric's family succeeded in rebelling, what awaited him would be rebellions from all over the world and all countries declaring war on him...

No one would agree with a heretical and rebellious regime.

You don't become a king just by defeating the king - if you don't have enough foundation to rule, people will see you as a regicide assassin or a tyrannical warlord at most.

There are many things that cannot be ignored with a big fist.

General Osa the 'Conqueror' led tens of thousands of troops back then, and his fists were much bigger than Li Ang's. However, although he forcibly proclaimed himself emperor, he also failed to make people in Pendor Continent regard him as emperor throughout his life.

The Bacchus Empire has been the enemy of all countries until now, and it has no allies except Mettenheim. Although there is a wise king in power, it is still almost destroyed.

This is a conspiracy of the combination of yin and yang, no matter how Li Ang handles it, it will be very difficult...

But what is the purpose of setting up a trap to harm Godric and his own people?

Li Ang couldn't figure it out - if this matter was designed by Malbert, then he couldn't get any benefit from it!

Amy and Godric were framed as heretics or rebels, and White Hart Castle and Eagle Claw Castle would only be taken under the king's direct control - if Leon "led the army alone to eliminate the rebellion", then these territories would only become Leon's territory , did not fall into the hands of the Brennus father and son.

And if it was King Ulrik... Godric is the king's brother-in-law!Ulrik has no reason to force his relatives to rebel, right?

Could it be that the three prophets or that princess did it?
But in the same way, they won't get any benefits!

"Earl Leon, you should take orders..."

Malbert held the scroll in one hand and covered the hilt of the sword with the other, reminding Li Ang who was in a trance.

"Lord Malbert, why did you become the king's envoy? It stands to reason that you should be at Sava River Castle now..."

Li Ang didn't reach out to accept the order, but deliberately rambling, thinking about how to solve this dilemma while talking nonsense.

"I just came back from the Sava River Castle and returned His Majesty's things to Sarleon City. Then His Majesty gave me such an errand, let me stop by to apologize to you-you should know, those things It's the booty you got back from De'Shar..."

Malbert smiled kindly: "But the person you sent to deliver the supplies was really careless. How could the convoy paying tribute to the king not notify the Lion Knights?...Is that Eric one of yours? He had a long lawsuit with me before, and finally found out that this was a misunderstanding made by the Knights of the Lions——Eric’s convoy was full of Deshams, so the patrol team of the Knights of the Lions took them Became a D'Xia spy! This misunderstanding almost caused me to be exiled by the king... But fortunately, my father is the head of the Lion Knights after all, and all the trophies were recovered intact."

It seems that this guy really went to Governor Justus to ask for marriage and failed, so he returned the supplies that Ulrik had snatched—that is, the supplies he was going to use as a dowry to marry Alina to the king.

Moreover, according to this statement, it was the Duke of Brennus who resisted the scapegoat?
The king asked him to come over and apologize to Li Ang, which is what he should do. After all, something happened in the Sava Castle, so Malbert really needs to apologize to Li Ang and the king.

And their father and son said that this matter was done by the Lion Knights, and they probably found a few blamers in the Lion Knights, so this is tantamount to the fault of Brennus.

Of course, as long as the attitude of pleading guilty is good enough, apologizing to the king and Leon, and returning all the things, then Brennus should be fine-the king needs the Knights of the Lion, as long as the things are recovered, they can live in name, Then Ulrik will not go to war because of this.

And Brennus took the initiative to resist the charges, claiming that the Knights of the Lions robbed Eric, which was obviously to ensure that Malbert would not be involved in any lawsuits.

Under the current circumstances, he still wants to keep Malbert clean and flawless?

It stands to reason that when the princess is pregnant with a child, their father and son can take the property worth 60 or [-] dinars as their own. Even if the king is dissatisfied, he will not do anything to them without real evidence...

Besides, the reputation of a duke is more important than Malbert, the lord of the Sava Castle. It is normal for Malbert to help Brennus to take the blame, but Brennus is to help Malbert to bear the crime?
unless……

Unless it was for a bigger conspiracy—for example, Brennus needed to retain Malbert as the adopted son of the king, and Malbert could not be involved in any lawsuits.

In other words, Malbert still had to keep his status as the heir to the king.

However, if the princess gave birth to a boy, Malbert would definitely be hopeless—by means of the Three Prophets, the princess' 'child' would definitely be a boy!

Does this mean that Malbert and his son will let the king and Prince Alanric die violently before the princess gives birth to a child?

Only in this way can Malbert succeed to the throne.

And Alanrick did die suddenly...

The original motive is this?
Once the motive is detected, the rest of the reasoning is easy for Li Ang to judge——

Killed Prince Alanric, framed Amy, and dragged himself and Godric into the quagmire.

Malbert knew that he would definitely save Amy...

If he was regarded as rebellious, or suspected by the king, he would definitely let the king conquer himself, provoke the king to attack him, and then make himself... a kingslayer!
It is estimated that there is such a plan, after all, the king's order is too targeted - if he does not accept the order, Malbert will have sufficient reasons to say that he is "may be an accomplice of the traitor", then the king will Definitely will come.

And once the king stepped into Changhe Town, he would probably die unexpectedly—killing the king and then planting the blame on himself, Malbert must be very good at these things.

Li Ang figured it out.

So, Li Ang waved to Sadilan: "Lord Malbert is a guest from afar, prepare a room for the distinguished guest, and entertain him well."

Afterwards, he reached out his hand to Malbert, concluded the king's decree, and stepped forward to try to hug his shoulders and kiss his face.

This was on the main street in the center of Changhe Town, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the king's orders had to be answered.

"Malbert, you're being polite. Since it's just a small misunderstanding, why bother to apologize... It's my fault... Ah!! You!!!"

The face-to-face gift was naturally Li Ang's response to Malbert's so-called 'apology', but just after the two got close to each other, Li Ang fell down at Malbert's feet with his hands on his chest—as if he had been assassinated Same.

The crowd of onlookers made a sound of panic.

"My lord! What's wrong with you, my lord!"

Lisa Dilan brought a large number of guards around in a panic, and the scene suddenly became extremely crowded.

Then, Lisa Dilan squeezed in, helped Li Ang to sit up, waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, everyone out of the way!"

The guards slowly spread out and formed a circle to protect the scene, while Li Ang sat on the ground panting in pain, with one hand covering his chest, blood was flowing out from between his fingers.

"Malbert! You! Why...why did you do this? You forged this royal decree, right?!"

Li Ang clutched his chest and shouted weakly.

And Malbert... the film king was looking at his own hand in surprise—a bloody dagger was stuffed into his hand at some point.

"You actually attacked Lord Li Ang in full view, and even passed the king's decree... You are too courageous! Get caught immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Lisa Dilan drew his sword and pointed it at Malbert.

"Ha! Li Ang... what are you going to do? Are you too childish?"

Malbert laughed angrily—it was too obvious!

Although Li Ang's acting skills are not inferior to him at all, and the blood shed is extremely real, but it only takes a little brainstorming to understand that this is a frame-up!

"You said you came here to apologize... Is that how you apologize? Malbert... We have a bit of a festival, but this festival is also because you robbed me of the booty that I paid tribute to the king! How dare you do this... I really thought Are you the adopted son of the king and you can do anything wrong? You are treason!"

Li Ang was very angry, as if he had been wronged by the sky.

Malbert was stunned for a moment - that's right, he himself said that he was ordering the apology by the king, then everyone would realize that he had a problem with Li Ang, which means he had a motive!
"Tie him up!"

Lisa Diran directly blocked Malbert's mouth, leaving no room for him to play - the elf assassin fully understood Li Ang's intentions this time.

Lisa Dilan is the captain of the guard, not a maid. Except for the prison, other rooms are not under his control.

Since the lord specifically asked him to 'prepare a room for the distinguished guests', it obviously meant preparing a clean prison, so he cooperated quite well.

Seeing Li Ang fell, he immediately brought people around to create an opportunity - he stuffed the bloody dagger into Malbert's hand in the chaos.
