Alien Paradise.

Chapter 293 Glorious Moment
"You said that the current actual controller of Qianlin Castle is... the Paradise Cult?" Li Xi quickly took out a small notebook and started writing.

It's not that she is gullible, but pretending to be a noble is a capital offense and can easily involve her family. If there were no major interests involved, most people would never be willing to pretend to be a named noble.

"good."

"Then do you have... a cooperative relationship with them?"

"No."

"Well, wouldn't they threaten your safety? I mean, your legal heir status should be an eyesore to them, right?"

"Well... I don't feel it yet. They even saved my life and liberated me from the captivity of Camp Elko. Now no one restricts my freedom. I can move around as I please." Lan Qi answered truthfully. road.

Richie and Todd looked at each other, each seeing the other's surprise.

This is a naked seizure of power. Why can both sides coexist so peacefully? It’s hard for anyone to believe this kind of thing when it’s written in the news, right?
"It seems that you know nothing about things here..." Lan Qi thought thoughtfully, "Then what kind of wind blew the Watt News Agency to Thousand Limburg?"

"It's all due to the whim of our leader." Todd sighed and briefly explained the editor-in-chief's request, "Your Majesty, do you know what is busy here?"

Not only him, but all the forces in Qianlin Castle... and even many ordinary people are waiting for the moment when the answer to the mystery is revealed. On the first day, he was the only one who came to the outskirts of the city to watch, but today there were hundreds of people. Everyone can see the changes in the grain depot. If we only rely on the grain purchased from the nobles, we will reach the limit in two or three days. It has become everyone's consensus that the Paradise Church has invested so much money and manpower in this reclamation project, so it must be confident that it can solve the food problem with a final word.

"I don't know, so I'm waiting too." Lan Qi turned to look at the open space south of the city.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by the betrayal at Elko Camp?" Richie did not intend to let go of the previous topic. "As far as I know, there is no border army going to Saint Xia Qin King, but there is also no such thing. A border force declared its allegiance to the Longjiu family."

"Excuse me...as long as we know everything, we will tell you everything."

"This matter is more complicated. We can find a place to talk slowly. But before that, I want to ask you a few questions - I have said so much, and now it is your turn."

He never expected that he would get such an answer: Duke Longjiu won, but he did not choose to become the new king. Nowadays, the people who live in the royal palace are still members of the Yue Gui family, and it is the ninth princess Bi Fei of the Yue Gui family. As for her brothers and sisters, they all died in the palace because the prince and second prince colluded with the cult.

"You don't even know?" Todd rubbed the back of his head, "This is troublesome... Do we really have to interview the Paradise Sect? This name doesn't sound like a serious sect."

"What is the situation in the royal capital? Which family won?" Lan Qi asked in a deep voice, word by word.

A quarter of an hour later, he exhaled a long breath, and his heart felt like a mixture of five emotions.

Therefore, it has gradually become an attraction. As long as people have nothing to do, they will go out of the city to have a look, hoping to see with their own eyes what the "miracles" promoted by the Paradise Church are.

Wilson Longjiu also claimed that this war was far from over, because two princes and some key members of the royal army were still at large, and some lords in the northeast who were loyal to the Laurel family did not choose to surrender. However, in order to avoid the loss of life, he will give these people two months to think about it. If they do not repent, he will march eastward and completely eradicate these depraved elements who have anything to do with the cult.

Of course Lan Qi would not believe that Duke Longjiu gave him a two-month consideration period because he was considerate of the people's sentiments. It is more likely because the royal city has many forces and its economic status is extremely important, so it takes longer than before to consolidate and digest it. When the Longjiu family eats Shengxia completely, their strength will definitely reach a higher level.

These should have nothing to do with him, but the news that the Yue Gui family was still in power made his heart beat uncontrollably. Why didn't Duke Longjiu replace him?
Why did he still want to keep the children of the Yue Gui family and let her become the new king in name only, even if it was just a puppet?
He didn't know the reason, but could it be considered that Duke Longjiu wanted all orders to remain as they were, rather than making drastic changes to them?
What about the lord of Thousand Limburg who was canonized by the king?
Will the Duke also follow previous tradition and recognize the Brinton family as the only legitimate rulers of this place?
When this entrusted power is violated, will the Duke send troops to attack the Paradise Cult to rectify his authority?
A series of questions made Lan Qi's mood extremely confusing.

But no matter what, it was absolutely the right choice for him not to leave Qianlimbao with his family that day.

After all, according to the provisions of the kingdom's war laws, a lord who abandons his fief and flees is equivalent to voluntarily giving up all fief rights.

"My Lord Earl?"

"Ah... I haven't heard any news from the royal capital for a long time, so I'm a little surprised." Lan Qi recovered his divergent consciousness and returned his gaze to the two of them, "Okay, how about you two come to my mansion tonight? ...No, let’s have a meal at the hotel and let’s have a good chat. If you want to interview the angels of Paradise Sect, I might be able to recommend them to you.”

"Really?" Li Xi responded without hesitation, "Thank you for your invitation, we are honored!"

……

On the fourth day, the three people who had been chatting all night met again outside the open space in the southern suburbs of the city.

However, today they found that the situation had changed.

The busy scene disappeared. Whether it was digging the ground or moving gravel, most of the workers seemed to have disappeared overnight. But the number of onlookers suddenly increased more than ten times, almost completely surrounding the south entrance.

Not only that, there were many more red flags in the open space - they were placed every half a meter, forming several "vertical lanes" with equal spacing. It's just that this vertical corridor is quite spacious, and it doesn't look like it's for people or cars to walk on.

The three of them realized that something big was about to happen.

"Mr. Todd, hurry! Help me find a place with a good view!" Li Xi shouted quickly.

"Do you want to set up a camera?" Todd immediately understood the other party's intention. He looked around several times, and finally his eyes fell on a sentry tower behind him. Although it is located on the edge of the city, it is high enough that as long as you stand on it, you can overlook most of the forest to the south. "There is a good place, but I don't know if we can climb up..."

"Do you want to board that guard tower?" Ranch Brinton followed his gaze, "It was built when the Kingdom's border troops were stationed. If I guessed correctly, it should be unmanned now. ”

Li Xi turned around and returned to the city. He ran all the way to the guard tower and found that although the wooden door at the entrance was locked, there were no guards around. She slammed her shoulder into it, breaking the rusty chain with a bang, and was the first to walk into the guard tower.

Todd couldn't help but shuddered, "Hey, we won't get caught if we do this!"

The little girl didn't look back, "Are you coming or not?"

"Okay." He stamped his feet, "If I get caught, I'll say it was a fool!"

Lan Qi followed the two of them, unable to help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart. As expected of a young man... clear in purpose and decisive in his actions, just like his former self.
