Chapter 35
Three days passed quickly, and the situation in the imperial capital was changing, but Xi Luo stayed in the peaceful and isolated Faris Manor, knowing almost nothing about what happened there.
The leader of the dark blade, Hong, did not go back with Thanatos, but stayed here to guard Xi Luo.Under such circumstances, Xi Luo had no chance to sneak out at all, and could only try to inquire about Thanatos from the opponent's mouth.
"I dreamed of the Marshal last night." Xi Luo went to sit beside Hong under the shade of a tree, and said sadly.
Hong stopped wiping the sword, looked at him silently, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't your lord return the money to you? That buckskin purse shouldn't be so valuable that you can't forget it so much. "
... Hong's misunderstanding of him is really quite deep.Is he such a money-greedy person? At that time, desperately trying to get back the money was just the instinct of the poor, the instinct!
Xi Luo covered his lips and coughed a few times, decisively ignored Hong's question, and continued on his own: "I am very worried about the Marshal, and I don't know if the person pretending to be me has been recognized. In this regard, the three His Royal Highness always has very strange intuitions."
Hong thought for a while, and probably felt that this matter was not very important, so she replied: "You can rest assured, His Royal Highness the Third Prince will not have any contact with 'Hei' again during this period. His Majesty the Emperor pardoned all crimes committed by 'Hei'." , and named him as the imperial clerk, and kept him by my side, this is not only a kind of favor to the adults, but also convenient for the nearby surveillance of 'Hei'."
It seems that the emperor already knew the true identity of 'Hei', and the reason why he didn't expose 'Hei' was the matter of Xi Luo. Instead, he tacitly made the mistake, probably to save face for Thanatos and prevent the two sides A little thing to tear your face?
While secretly guessing, Xi Luo continued to ask: "Has the Priest of Light, Melo, already arrived in the imperial capital?"
"Not yet." Hong frowned, obviously thinking of something and feeling a little anxious: "But it should be fast, the speed of the convoy is beyond our expectations."
Seeing his emotions, Xi Luo couldn't help asking, "Did Melo do something else?"
"..." Hong was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "You don't need to know this."
"Why can't I know?"
Xi Luo seemed to be dissatisfied with the concealment all the time. He stood up and stopped in front of Hong without hesitation, and asked excitedly: "I am a man, I have the rank of major general, I don't want to shrink Under someone else's wing, I need to take responsibility for myself!"
"Responsible for yourself? Don't say such things if you don't have enough strength." Hong also became a little excited: "You don't even know how many dangerous things adults have done for you!"
Xi Luo sneered: "I've never taken the initiative to seek his asylum, and I don't remember any extraordinary things he did for me. Has he really thought about what I want? For example, this time, I don't Grateful for him keeping me in this bloody place!"
Hong has always been secretly dissatisfied with Xi Luo, but now his almost acrimonious words made Hong burst into anger for a moment: "How can you say such a thing, my lord is to protect you, otherwise you will be punished now." You will be the one trapped in the palace and unable to move!"
Xi Luo was unmoved: "If it's dangerous, it's because Thanatos got me involved! I'm unlucky every time, but he is probably staying in a safe place now, looking at me mockingly while drinking joke!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a selfish and narrow-minded guy!" Hong roared, "You don't understand anything. Your lord is going to the battlefield today. Before you leave, you asked me to take care of you. The emperor only gave him five thousand soldiers." , facing the northern barbarians, he is likely to die, you..."
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth, and looked at Shi Luo who was silent in shock.
"So that's how it is." The previous resentful expression disappeared in an instant. Xi Luo knew that Hong didn't like him, and deliberately provoked him just to get some information, but he didn't expect to hear such news: "The barbarians... ...Mello and they seem to have always had some secret connection..."
The imperial capital loves Le Bella, above the city walls.
A middle-aged man and a young man stood together, looking far away in the direction where the brigade left half a day ago.
The middle-aged man has short silver-gray hair, and his body is strong but not too muscular.His dress style is simpler than other nobles. The black double-breasted long dress and mahogany walking stick make him look polite, which well conceals the haze brought by his hooked nose.
The young man's appearance is very feminine, if not for the obvious Adam's apple, most people would probably regard him as a beautiful woman.As a famous male singer in the Altai Conservatory, Lige's outstanding appearance has attracted the pursuit of many nobles, and it has also given him the capital to be proud.But in front of this middle-aged man, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to overstep in the slightest.
"Everything is going according to plan, let Barron not make any unnecessary moves." Duke Aldridge said coldly: "I don't like his presumptuous personality, and there must be no second chance to assassinate Fia privately like last time." all over."
"Yes, Your Excellency Aldrich. I will definitely tell His Highness the Second Prince." Rig paused for a moment, but still mustered up his courage to say: "Master Thanatos...is it true that he will not come back this time?"
"Now that you have made a choice, don't sway left and right."
Duke Aldrich glanced at him meaningfully: "Soldiers and food are not enough, plus the leak of information... Hmph, what kind of person is there for a person who can cold-bloodedly kill his brother for the sake of power and status?" Things can’t be done. Thanatos has the blood of a traitor, and since his father killed Alfred, His Majesty has been on guard against him, as long as he loses the battle, it is estimated that he will lose his family soon.”
As the duke, Aldridge didn't need to say so many words to this lowly actor. These words were not so much convincing Rigg as convincing himself.
Withdrawing his gaze, Aldrich suppressed the vague uneasiness in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the tragedy 15 years ago.After Alfred was killed, his six-year-old child disappeared, and no one knew where he was.Although some people have doubted Thanatos' true identity, although the two have exactly the same hair color and eye color, their appearance is not exactly the same.
This matter is like a thorn in his heart, so all these years, he has been trying to put Thanatos to death.But this time, with the secret weapon provided by the priest of light Melo, Thanatos has absolutely no possibility of escape!
