Cthulhu descends

Li Xie was guarded by a tenth-rank Sword Saint, and he was in the woods. Roy made some calculations and knew that even if he could kill Li Xie, he might have to live with him!

The so-called acting city lord's order was immediately forgotten by him, he bowed his hands to Li Xie, and immediately withdrew his troops without saying a word!

This move also let Li Xie see that Larry Brown's soldiers are probably a collection of interests, and there is no such thing as loyalty!

"My lord duke..." Fan Di Searle fell to the ground: "Why don't we rush to Chrysanthemum City overnight? Wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid that Larry Brown will be prepared and come up with another idea that is not good for you!"

"You don't have to worry about this." Li Xie said with a smile: "Before he had an excuse to suppress the bandits, he could frame him as a frame-up. If he had the ability to kill us, we would have to admit it! Now that this excuse is gone, he will never dare to move Me! If he blatantly touches me, this crime is enough for him to kill everyone! I don’t even know who he is, and it’s impossible to have a deep hatred with him. Under the premise of being guaranteed, he will not do it again!"

"Who dares to instruct him to kill the Grand Duke of the Dynasty? Could it be that the Duke came to take over Ju. Huacheng, harming Larry Brown's interests and making him take the risk?" Fan Di Sel wondered.

Li Xie sneered: "If I die here, do you think His Majesty will not doubt it? Do you think Larry Brown can still be the acting city lord? The Grand Duke of Dynasty was killed in the Ju. Huacheng area. Can he, the acting city lord, not accompany him to death?" So once I die, he will have to drag his family and run away! And I take over Ju. Huacheng, he can continue to be a nobleman in peace, or else he can go to other places! So , unless someone ordered to persecute him, otherwise, he would never have the idea of ​​touching me!"

"So, who is it?" Fan Di Sel said in a deep voice.

Li Xie narrowed his eyes, with a cold gleam in his eyes: "Who else could it be? I have a problem with the right minister. Needless to say, it must have been ordered by the right minister. Larry Brown must also be the right minister!"

Fan Di Searle was furious. The assassination of the ministers of the dynasty turned out to be done by the right minister of the dynasty. He immediately said: "My lord, I will report this matter to the emperor immediately. Your majesty will definitely investigate thoroughly. If it is true What the prime minister did, even if he is the right prime minister of the dynasty, His Majesty will definitely give you justice!"

"Fan Di Searle!" Li Xie suddenly shouted, his face a little displeased: "Remember! You are my bodyguard now, and my safety is the highest criterion in everything! Didn't His Majesty tell you? Hmm ?”

Ever since Fan Di Searle followed Li Xie, Li Xie had always been kind and never spoke to him loudly, let alone reprimanded him, but now he lost his temper suddenly, which inevitably shocked Fan Di Searle!

And even though Fan Di Searle was ordered by Mercedes VII to follow Li Xie, and he was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to be proud and presumptuous in front of Li Xie as a tenth-rank sword master, because, Fan Di Searle I know, Li Xie has another Zenn who he can't see through beside Li Xie - a figure who is said to be a tenth-rank sword master!

This person obeyed Li Xieyan, even if Li Xie told him to kill someone in court, he would dare to do it!

Such a character followed, and the fact that Li Xie dared to kill the right minister in the court had already spread!From a certain point of view, Li Xie actually has a greater deterrent effect on Van Di Searle than Mercedes VII.

Because Van Di Sel thought that he made a mistake, and Mercedes VII would just scold him, and this evil duke who dared to kill people in the court might order him to be killed!The most dreadful thing is that there are people around the evil duke who can kill him!

Therefore, when Li Xie was angry, Fan Di Searle quickly clasped his fists: "I didn't think carefully, please forgive me, my lord."

"Okay, I just want to tell you that when doing things in the future, consider my safety first, then my orders, and then everything else! This is true for everyone! Do you understand?"

Li Xie was angry, and it was Fan Di Searle who said "Your Majesty" to the left and "Your Majesty" to the right. His heart was not his at all!He could even say that he went to the imperial capital by himself, and he didn't take Li Xietai seriously at all!

Now Fan Di Searle is Li Xie's entourage. From Li Xie's point of view, anyone who belongs to him has to listen to him, at least think about him first!Instead of facing Mercedes VII everywhere!

This is not to say that Li Xie wants to rebel against Mercedes VII, but that Li Xie has a stronger concept of his own people. He treats his people well, and he also hopes that his people treat him well. , the rest are outsiders, including Mercedes VII!

This may be a kind of psychology that Li Xie didn't realize that the rich and powerful have-possessiveness!

"As for whether this matter was instigated by the right minister..." Li Xie smiled coldly: "I don't need evidence, and neither does Your Majesty! I think it is, so that's it!"

The so-called evidence is nothing but something that the superiors show the inferiors!If the superior really wants to kill a person, the inferior will immediately see the so-called "conclusive evidence"!For example, if Mercedes VII wants to kill the Prime Minister, all he needs to do is sneeze, and he will be charged with polluting the air, and then he can be found out for corruption, bribery, etc., and list ten crimes, all of which are capital crimes!In fact, whether the right minister did it or not, he was dead!Others want "evidence", as much as they want, Mercedes VII can give it!It's that simple!

But Li Xie is simpler, he wants to kill the right minister, just kill him directly!There is no need to give any evidence!Mercedes VII still needs to silence everyone, but Li Xie doesn't!All he needs to know is whether he has the ability and whether he can bear the consequences of killing the prime minister!

Therefore, Li Xie didn't need to care about whether it was the right minister's instigation. He thought it was, and that was it. As for the right minister, he would be killed sooner or later. The difference was when!

"Okay, for the sake of safety, I won't sleep tonight. I'll get back together. I'll set off overnight and rest in the carriage. I'll arrive at Chrysanthemum City tomorrow morning, and we'll meet our acting city lord for a while! Reddy ? Gaga, remember the Duke's material."

"Yes, my lord!"

Chrysanthemum. In a manor in Flower City.

It was dawn at this moment, and Larry Brown, the acting castellan, was still sitting in the study.This gray-haired but red-faced aristocrat is currently smoking a big cigarette and drinking a small wine. Obviously, he is not working all night!

In the study room besides Larry Brown, there was another person sitting opposite him. This person was also of a certain age, and he was dressed luxuriously. He should also be a nobleman. If anyone saw the mole the size of a longan on his forehead, they would definitely Knowing that he is the Earl of Gus in Juhuacheng? Dex, the biggest slave owner in Juhuacheng!

"Your Excellency Brown, that person heard that he set off overnight and was driving slowly. He should arrive at around nine o'clock this morning. The suppression of the bandits was unsuccessful. Presumably Tiger Reddy has already confessed our affairs, and I heard that the person with ten Is there any danger on our side?" Earl Gus was a little worried.

"What's the danger?" Larry Brown said disdainfully: "Even if Reddy confessed us, is there any evidence? Empty words are nothing, we can also say that Reddy slandered! As for the tenth-level sword master, it should be Fan Di ? Searle! The Dynasty is only a tenth-rank sword master! His Majesty should have ordered him to escort the evil duke to Chrysanthemum City, and then let him go back. It is impossible for him to follow the evil duke all the time!"

"But..." Earl Gus said again: "If the evil duke knows that we are going to kill him, our life may not be easy in the future! Can you think of a way to deal with it?"

"Oh..." Larry Brown frowned, and threw a cigar to Earl Gus: "You are the most vicious slave owner in Chrysanthemum City, why are you so timid? Whose Chrysanthemum City belongs to? It's me, Larry." ? I know, if he dares to kill the Right Prime Minister in the court, there is nothing he dare not do! But, he loves money! If we are moved, the economy of Chrysanthemum City will immediately collapse! Chrysanthemum City will immediately become a waste city! Can he not consider it?"

Obviously, Larry Brown knew some things about the imperial capital, but he didn't know the specific details. For example, Fan Di Searle not only escorted Li Xie, for example, Li Xie was not only surrounded by a tenth-level master!

"You're right." Earl Gus immediately smiled when he thought that the entire Chrysanthemum City, from luxury goods transactions to vegetable markets, were under their control!But another question came to mind, and he said again: "The Prime Minister told us to kill him if we had the chance, and prevent him from developing if we don't have the chance. How should we deal with it?"

"Simple!" Larry Brown said with a smile: "Tomorrow, we will let him know who the Chrysanthemum City belongs to! Then we will give him a sum of money to make him think he is the owner of the city! If he is a sensible person, he will choose Cooperate with us, we manage Chrysanthemum City, he is comfortable as the lord of the city, he has money to share with him, and the rest is ignored! If he is not a sensible person, we will all withdraw, leaving him an empty city and countless refugees! Look how he is!"

"Withdraw? This..."

"Why? Reluctant?" Larry Brown sneered: "You think the right minister will protect us forever? If we kill the evil duke this time, we will have to escape too! Do you think we can still be the local emperors of Chrysanthemum City safely? Heh heh We should make a good plan! My dear Earl Gus, don't be reluctant, we are rich and powerful, wherever we go, we are nobles!"

The words rich and powerful made the frowning Earl Gus smile again, and raised his glass: "Everything is obeyed by Your Excellency! Cheers to our noble title!"

"cheers!"

The next day, nine in the morning.

The horse convoy from the Xie Duke's Mansion was moving slowly, and it has only now arrived outside the north gate of Chrysanthemum City.

At this moment, the north gate of Chrysanthemum City is closed tightly, and the city wall tower is also unguarded. Looking at the city wall piled up with huge stones, there is a sense of repelling people thousands of miles away!

Li Xie's carriage team was turned away from the city gate!

Li Xie took the lead to get out of the carriage and walked to the front of the city gate. Kano, Zeenard, and Fan Di followed him around, with a group of guards behind him.

Kano said indignantly: "My lord, at this time, the city gate can't be still closed! Someone did it on purpose! It must be that old Larry! His grandma's! My lord, let Kano climb over the wall first and teach him a lesson. pause!"

"No hurry." Li Xie said: "We sent a message in advance, that guy should know that I am coming, and the city gate will be closed, what do you mean?"

Fan Di Searle sneered, a little angry: "My lord, what else do you mean? It's obvious to give the lord a blow! You only need to come up with an excuse, and the lord can't do anything about him!"

"Oh, show off!" Li Xie raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "You guys say, what should we do now? I can't really climb over the wall to get in, this is my city! Going back to my own city, I have to climb over the wall, Shame."

Zeenard stepped forward and said as he walked: "My lord, do you mind changing to a new city gate?"

"Oh? I don't mind, I have a lot of money."
