Chapter 5: It's a Conspiracy!
"What?" Belle was startled, and she hurried forward a few steps in a hurry, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she stopped again, turned back and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lanton, you heard me, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my promise." Her pretty face was full of anxiety, and it completely conveyed her inner world at the moment, which was as undisguised as her words and deeds.
Regarding Belier's apology, Luo Lan shook his head and said categorically: "No!"
The young man who came to report seemed to be Belier's younger brother, and when he heard this, he immediately became angry, took a step forward with his eyebrows raised, and pointed at Luo Lan's nose and was about to blurt out scolding, but was pulled by the former.
Luo Lan looked at them funny, he found that the sister and brother were really very similar, and there was no trace of artificiality in their eyebrows and eyes, and they were straightforward enough.
"I think you're getting me wrong. Luo Lan's eyes rolled in their faces, and he said, "As a pastor, I should be able to help a little, as for the position of pastor......
He stopped his mouth and smiled very freely, the meaning of which was obvious to anyone at a glance.
Belle let out an "ah" and said, "But this matter has nothing to do with you, Pastor Lanton. ”
Luo Lan smiled: "Originally, it was irrelevant, but now it is related." ”
Indeed, after being attacked by the Blood Earthworms, they have inevitably been involved.
Belil's bright eyes looked at him deeply, and then she said angrily, "Okay! When this matter settles down, if I am still a lord, Mr. Lanton will be my high priest." ”
Luo Lan did not shirk and calmly accepted Belier's promise.
At this moment, this is just a verbal statement, and there is no need to dwell too much on it.
Moreover, there is a matter of first priority that needs to be resolved that will determine the outcome of all this, and that is the most important thing.
Behind the unnoticed, a meaningful gaze flashed in Luo Lan's eyes.
"Then what are we waiting for? I'm going to gather the people now!" the boy roared and rolled over his horse, looking like he couldn't wait any longer. After the fierce battle just now, there were still more than forty horses able to walk normally, enough for all the people here to rush back.
Luo Lan suddenly took two steps, pulled the reins of the horse, and said to the young man, "Wait, I have an important question." ”
The whip that the young man had just raised fell again, and said impatiently: "Why are you so verbose?
Luo Lan glanced at Belier, turned his head again, and said solemnly, "How did your uncle invade the castle?
The young man said angrily: "They told me that my sister has been killed, so my uncle claims that he will control the territory, hmph!
Luo Lan exhaled, let go of the reins of the horse, and said, "In this case, things may be much easier to handle." ”
The young man was confused, touched his head and said, "What do you mean?"
Belil's eyes lit up, and she said thoughtfully, "Mr. Lanton is saying that this is not a rebellion?"
Luo Lan calmly analyzed: "Of course not, on the surface, your uncle is just asserting that he is acting as an agent. I believe that the lord doesn't need to do anything, as long as you can return to the territory safely, everything will be revealed. ”
Belier let out a long breath and said, "Then I'll be relieved." ”
Luo Lan looked at her and said without blinking: "Pay attention, I'm talking about returning to the territory safely." He reinforces the word "security."
Belier was stunned, and then seemed to think of something, but she couldn't believe it.
Luo Lan shook his head secretly, Belier must not have inherited the lord's position for a long time, otherwise she would not have handled things so hastily, and she would not have left her residence so easily without making arrangements.
But isn't all this good for you?
He pointed to the abandoned carriages and said, "Why did the lord come here, and what does it have to do with this caravan?"
Belier did not hide it, and said: "There is one in the caravan is our material officer, there are two cars with ten sets of magic armor, because I received a report that the caravan was attacked when I was hunting in the nearby mountains and forests, so I came over in person, but I didn't expect the caravan to ......."
Demon armor is an extremely expensive armor even in the Western Continent, and the value of a set of magic armor is enough to equip a hundred-man hoplite team.
In the remote region of Sedaon, it is even rarer, and it is no wonder that Belil takes it so seriously.
Luo Lan's voice continued to be lowered, prompting her: "However, none of these things have been robbed, since they are not for goods, then why are these blood worms still ambushed here? Their purpose is already obvious, their target is you, lord!"
Belier was stunned, and she asked, "My territory has never been in conflict with the Swamp Clan, why would they do this?"
Luo Lan stared at her and said, "If this matter is connected with your uncle's sudden invasion, haven't you noticed something? I suspect that all this has been planned a long time ago!"
Indeed, once these things are awakened, they are connected into a complete conspiracy.
Looking at the stunned sister and brother, Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "Think about the rumors spread by your uncle, if you are killed, then this rumor is no longer a rumor!"
Belil's body trembled slightly, and a flash of realization flashed in her eyes, followed by deep disappointment and pain.
Immediately, the young man also showed an extremely shocked look, and stayed there speechless for a while.
The sun on the plain shone mercilessly, stabbing them on their bodies, and folding two hesitant figures on the ground.
Luo Lan mercilessly tore open the answer in their hearts that had been vaguely guessed but not spoken, and sighed, "What does this mean? This shows that he already knew in advance that you would die." He looked around and said cautiously, "And, before you return to the castle, they still have time to make this rumor true." ”
Luo Lan didn't say it, there is another important point in this, that is, those blood worm people have not died much, if they are instructed, they may not be able to ensure that the person in charge behind them has any next move.
Belier looked at Luo Lan, surprised and a little dazed by this person's calmness and perceptive vision, she said anxiously, "Then what should we do next?"
Luo Lan paced two steps in place, pondered for a moment, and then looked up and said, "How many roads are there to the castle, and how long does it take to get the fastest?"
"There is only one avenue, and it will take two days, but I still know some trails. The fastest is a day to get back to the castle. ”
"Okay!" Luo Lan nodded, "Now we have to divide into two roads, one is for the Lord Lord to lead the guards to rush back to the territory day and night, and be sure to regain the sovereignty before your uncle can report it, and the other team will be formed by a convoy to walk the avenue to attract attention." ”
Belier was worried for a moment and said, "But, who will lead the convoy all the way?"
Luo Lan raised his head, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said slowly: "I'll bring it!"
PS: Hehe, this volume is a turning point for Luo Lan, and there are many things involved. There's something to be explained, and the exciting content is about to kick off.
Alas, a cold kills people, typing while having a runny nose.
