Chapter 905 The Royal Family and the Nobles’ Plan, Grand Duke Lanton’s Substitute Flanders

“I…didn’t I die on the gallows?” Flanders opened his eyes, his expression confused.

He learned that he was going to be hanged because of his crime, and then he was thrown into the death row and tortured for three months, and finally hanged on the torture device.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he was not dead.

Of course, compared to his own death, what made him more distressed was that Princess Lina, whom he loved, died because of love.

In the death row, Flanders heard the news of Princess Lina’s death. In his opinion, this was Princess Lina’s suicide because of love.

But he is not dead now, but Princess Lina is dead.

“I…where am I?” He climbed up with some difficulty and touched his neck. It was intact and not torn off.

“On ​​the way to the Principality of Lanton in secret.” A familiar female voice came.

This voice Flanders was familiar with.

It was Princess Lina who had been hanged to death.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the beautiful figure he had been thinking about day and night walking in.

"Princess Lina, I'm so glad you're okay." Flanders looked very excited and ignored what the other party said.

"Of course nothing happened. Grand Duke Landon's power is too great. I can only fake my death to get out of it."

"Even the Arbitration Court was interfered with by his power, otherwise you would have taken back the title of Duke." Princess Lina comforted Flanders and told him some of the situation.

"Now he is preparing to overthrow the entire empire to achieve his ambition."

"We must stop him as soon as possible!" When Princess Lina said this, she looked like a resolute princess of a fallen country.

Flanders was so fascinated that he couldn't be himself, and he quickly responded to several sentences in succession.

But he soon realized one thing, that is, how they were going to stop each other.

His mind was twisted, but he still had some IQ.

With just a few of them, let alone conquering the Principality of Landon, it would be difficult for them to even meet Lu Xingshi.

"Are we going to assassinate that despicable thief?" Flanders asked hesitantly.

He could sacrifice his life for Princess Lina without hesitation, but he had to ensure that Princess Lina completed her mission.

Assassination is not that easy.

"Of course not, you are of noble birth and important status, how can you assassinate that despicable thief." Princess Lina's eyes were full of Flanders, making Flanders want to die for her.

"Then what should we do?" If Flanders really wanted to let himself assassinate Lu Xingshi, it would not be impossible.

"Look at your appearance." Princess Lina took the mirror and said with a smile.

As soon as Flanders saw it, his face changed.

His appearance and body shape completely changed, and he completely turned into the appearance of Lu Xingshi.

"I... How did I become the appearance of a thief!!!" Flanders gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to keep kneading his face.

"Don't rub it. I'll feel bad if you break it." Princess Lina reached out to stop Flanders' behavior. She was worried that the transformation that she had finally completed would be destroyed.

"The royal family and the nobles will help us make the thief disappear, and you will replace him and become the real Grand Duke of Landon." Princess Lina explained the plan.

"This is impossible. I will never become the Grand Duke of Landon while wearing the appearance of a thief." Flanders would definitely not agree. If he really did this, wouldn't all his achievements in the future belong to the thief?

No matter how great his talents and strategies are in the future, they will not be able to prove themselves. He will only be the artist who died in the gallows?

"I will always be with you. As the Duchess, I will make the Landon family more prosperous." Princess Lina said shyly.

As soon as these words came out, Flanders' brain froze and was overwhelmed by this huge surprise.

"It's not impossible." Flanders answered stumblingly.

The royal family and the nobles are trying to win over Lu Xingshi? They are not stupid, how could they choose to let the wolf in? If they cannot control Lv Xingshi, they will only be attacked.

As for twisting Lv Xingshi's mind like Flanders, they can't do it. After all, Lv Xingshi can already use fighting spirit, and he is a real knight. He will be discovered before his mind is twisted.

On the contrary, it is easy for Flanders.

And with Princess Lina as a leash, as long as Flanders successfully replaces Lv Xingshi, then the Principality of Lanton will become the biggest help for the nobles and the royal family to regain power.

Previously, Flanders was arranged to go to the Principality of Lanton to meet Lv Xingshi, and the subsequent accusation of Lv Xingshi and the hanging sentence, and even the fake death of Princess Lina, etc., were all smoke bombs thrown out.

Approaching Lv Xingshi is to let Flanders contact Lv Xingshi so that he can use some kind of magic weapon to change Flanders' appearance and body. Otherwise, how to replace him with different appearances and bodies.

And the subsequent purpose is to let Flanders die, so as to use this as a smoke bomb to confuse the steam faction. They even spent a lot of money, and they were even weaker under the attack of the steam faction.

But as long as the plan succeeds, everything will be worth it.

With the Principality of Lanton, they have people, soldiers, land, and food, plus the orthodoxy of the nobility and the royal family, they can completely break free from the suppression of the Steam Faction and rise again.

Otherwise, how could they even sacrifice Princess Lina.

"That's great, you can only pretend to be the thief." Princess Lina comforted him and said some tempting words to Flanders.

I can only say that she is worthy of being a socialite princess, and she is really good at this.

She directly hooked Flanders into a hooker.

There are many considerations for choosing Flanders as a replacement.

First of all, Flanders is the eldest son of the Landon family. Even if he gave up his surname, the blood of the Landon family is still flowing in his body, and the magic weapon can play the greatest role.

Secondly, in terms of personality, he can be better distorted in mind, and with obvious weaknesses, he can't refuse as long as Princess Lina orders.

Even if it is humiliating, it is an honor for him, after all, it is Princess Lina's entrustment.

"How long will it take for us to reach the Principality of Landon?" Flanders woke up from being fascinated and asked his own question.

"It will take at least half a month. Don't you like to be alone with me?" Princess Lina frowned, seeming a little unhappy.

Flanders hurriedly explained that he was very flustered because of anxiety and panic.

I can only say that he was really controlled.

After a long argument, Princess Lina said, "Once you successfully replace the thief, you must kill the cabinet ministers, military ministers, finance ministers and justice ministers he promoted as soon as possible."

"They know you too well, and they know the thief very well, so it's easy for them to detect the problem."

These four people have watched Flanders grow up, and they followed Lu Xingshi. It's definitely a lie to say that they can't see the problem.

When Flanders heard these four people, his face became extremely gloomy.

"Of course, they knew that the wandering knight was the thief who stole my title."

"Not only did they not help me kill the thief, but they were loyal to him."

"If it weren't for you, Lina, to plead for them, I would definitely torture these traitors!" Flanders said indignantly.

In his plan, whether he successfully regained the title or replaced Lu Xingshi, he would make these four people and their families live a life worse than death.

But he would not refuse Princess Lina's request.

"It's better to be safe and kill them." Princess Lina was also glad that she reminded him, otherwise if she really followed Flanders's approach, it would definitely be bad.

According to intelligence, at present, all the power in the entire Principality of Lanton is divided by these four people.

It's not that Lu Xingshi was sidelined, but these four people are completely loyal to Lu Xingshi, and the power was also given by Lu Xingshi. It was only a word from Lu Xingshi that they were taken back.

Because of this, they were able to get rid of these four people as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if they found that Lu Xingshi was replaced, these four people would imprison them and look for the real Lu Xingshi.

As for how they would complete the replacement? After all, Lu Xingshi is so powerful that even the great knights appointed by the empire are not his opponents, let alone Flanders.

In order to succeed, the royal family and the aristocratic faction naturally took out all the trump cards.

Several powerful magic weapons and several wizards with corresponding attributes.

They didn't believe that Lu Xingshi could still escape.

…

"Cato, what do you think of Grand Duke Lanton's request?" an imperial high-ranking official asked.

After Bri retrieved the Moon Energy Stone Energy Technology and reported Lu Xingshi's request, the high-ranking officials of the empire gathered together and held a meeting.

There were not only high-ranking officials of the Steam Faction, but also scattered nobles and royal families.

"It is true that Grand Duke Lanton is pursuing power. I am not sure about the rest." Cato said very conservatively, but he was sure that Lu Xingshi's words were most likely true.

"The situation in the Dragon Mountain Range has become more serious, and the defense line has retreated again." A high-ranking official continued, "If we can't stop it next, it will be troublesome."

"We can let Grand Duke Lanton go, but he can't lead the troops, so we will change the commander directly." Another high-ranking official gave a solution.

"It's feasible. We have the energy technology of the Moon Energy Stone and the complete training method of the Moonlight Werewolf. We can deploy our Moonlight Werewolf to the defense line of the Dragon Mountain Range, and Grand Duke Landon will lead them." After Gato finished speaking, he added: "I can accompany as the deputy commander."

The meaning is that the soldiers are theirs, and with Gato, the Imperial Beast Zone, as a supervisor and control, the risk will be greatly reduced.

"Yes, but I don't know if Grand Duke Landon is willing to agree."

"If he can really conquer the Dragon Mountain Range, the Empire can fully cooperate with him to study the Dragon Mountain Range and capture the Immortal Dragon." A senior official said.

As long as the Dragon Mountain Range can be incorporated into the Aore Empire, Lu Xingshi's request is the same as not having it. Compared with the manpower and material resources invested and the output of the Dragon Mountain Range, it is simply a big profit.

"Draft a letter and send it to Grand Duke Landon. If he agrees, the Empire will do its best to help him." Someone directly gave the final word, because all members passed, naturally no one questioned or opposed.
