Be trusting your teammates!

Liu Xing took a deep breath, put all the unrealistic doubts in his mind behind, and silently recited ten times in his heart, "I don't work in a winery."

After hinting at himself, Liu Xing found that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were both looking at him with puzzled expressions, and it seemed that his actions just now seemed to be a little too big.

"Liu Xing, who are you?"

Li Hanxing asked with concern: "If you are sleepy, just close your eyes for the time being, it seems that there will be no big movement in the back garden in a short period of time, and it is impossible for the people of the public faction to blatantly come to deal with us, so we can rest for a while now and wait for the further development of the plot." ”

Sun Huiwen on the side nodded, and said with a smile: "Although Liu Xing, you have been in a coma for several days before, but in fact, you have slept for less than an hour, so it is normal to be sleepy now, and there is a chance that you will not fast forward time tonight, so we can't waste time on meaningless waiting." ”

As soon as Sun Huiwen's words fell, Zum's voice came from the other side of the stage, "Everyone, please be quiet, I have a very important matter here that I want to ask you." ”

Liu Xing's eyes instantly fell on Zum.

"Is Zum going to start making trouble?"

Liu Xing frowned and said: "No, although Zum is a little arrogant, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can't hold his breath, so like this situation, Zum can wait until the second half of the night, when everyone is sleepy, and then make a move, so that his chances of winning will be higher, and his own losses will be less." ”

"Liu Xing, you're right, I also think Zum should start in the second half of the night, but I didn't expect him to start so soon, but this may be Zum's tired tactic, so we can't have a good rest." Li Hanxing said intently.

At this moment, a subordinate walked up to the stage with a wooden box, and then Zum took out a few narrow planks from the wooden box... Wait a minute!

Liu Xing took a closer look and found that Zum was actually holding a few dismantled picture frames!

Obviously, this is the picture frame that Liu Xing and others threw into the river before.

Unexpectedly, this frame ended up going around and around, and it still ended up in Zum's hands.

"Death doesn't admit it!" Sun Huiwen whispered: "We must not admit that this frame is related to us, as long as we don't admit it, then Zum will not be able to forcibly put this black pot on our heads in public, because the people who know that this frame is related to us are long gone, and they should not have been in contact with other people during that time, so we don't need to worry too much." ”

"But the guys from the public faction should be able to guess that this frame has something to do with us, because for these nobles, oil paintings should have special frames, so there is a good chance that the frame in Zum's hand is specially made, so Zum may be able to see that the original oil painting in this frame is related to his father; If the guys from the public faction know about this, then they will definitely think that this frame is related to a certain knighthood, and then combined with the current situation, they can guess that this frame is actually thrown by us in the water, so it is very likely that they will take this opportunity to come to us for trouble! Liu Xing said seriously.

Hearing Liu Xing say this, Li Hanxing could only sigh and said helplessly: "No matter what, we can only pretend to be confused now, anyway, this is just the speculation of those people in the public faction, as long as there is no Zum's approval, then they can't really do anything to us." ”

At this time, Zum continued on the stage and said: "Everyone should have seen what I have in my hand, right? Yes, it was a broken frame, but I could tell at a glance that it had been specially commissioned by my father when he returned to the castle to frame a painting that was important to him, and that the painting had always been treasured by my father, and had never been shown to me, or to my brothers. ”

Conaway and the others standing in the audience nodded in agreement.

"After my father died, my brothers and I sorted out my father's belongings, and found that this oil painting was gone, and I realized that this oil painting was very important, as for why it is very important, I believe everyone present should know very well, yes, there is a knighthood medal hidden in this oil painting, and it is very likely to be the Duke Medal!"

As soon as Zum said this, the whole back garden instantly became noisy.

Because for those melon-eating NPCs who don't know the truth, Zum's words mean that the Duke's medal has been found!

So who could this person be?

At this time, there were already some smart NPCs who began to move their positions carefully, because they all knew very well that if Zum had found the Duke's Medal, then he would have taken out the Duke's Medal to show off, but Zum didn't do it at this time, which means that the Duke's Medal may have fallen into the hands of someone else, so it is self-evident what Zum wants to do now.

Of course, some of the more intelligent NPCs have analyzed it one more layer, that is, Zum believes that the Duke's medal was hidden in this oil painting is just his own opinion, and there is no definite evidence to prove that Zum's idea is correct, so it is very likely that Zum is just trying to play on the topic.

But after discussing for a while, everyone in the back garden closed their mouths and turned their eyes to Zum again before he could speak.

Zum was very satisfied with the performance of the crowd and continued: "If I am not mistaken, this oil painting is most likely a portrait, and the protagonist of the painting is not actually my father, but my father's best friend and military advisor who helped him achieve great achievements - Oda Nobunaga, I believe everyone present should be very clear, because everyone knows that he gave advice to my father on the battlefield back then, and my father became a brother to him. It's a pity that this uncle of mine suddenly disappeared after the whole situation was decided, so my father always felt that he owed him, and my father also thought that at least fifty percent of the credit for becoming a duke should be his, I believe you should understand what I mean, right? ”

Of course I do.

Even the most stupid people should know exactly what Zum meant by these words - Duke Gundogan always thought that his ducial medal should be given to Oda Nobunaga in half, so Duke Gundogan, realizing that his time was short, decided to hide the ducal medal in the oil painting of his good brother.

"Obviously, this oil painting has been dismantled, and there is indeed something in this oil painting, so they deliberately threw this dismantled frame into the river to try to cover up the truth, but unfortunately they did not expect that because of a natural disaster, many burned trees fell into the river and blocked the river, so the castle guards found these wooden frames when they were patrolling."

Speaking of this, Zum also paused for a moment, and after scanning the crowd with his eyes, he continued: "I believe you should all be able to guess what I want to say next, right?" Yes, I hope that the person who discovers this painting, and who disassembles it, will honestly stand up and give me the Duke Medal that may exist in it, and I will give you a glorious and rich fortune when the time comes; But if you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame me for being cruel after this, because you took something that shouldn't be yours! ”

Zum took a deep breath, pointed to the audience and said, "I will wait for you in the audience until the moon stays in the middle of the sky, and if no one shows up, then I can't guarantee what I will do." ”

After speaking, Zum walked off the stage, and Conaway and the others all had unhappy but helpless expressions.

"This Zum is really a bit arrogant, this is already a blatant threat, right?" Li Hanxing said with a smile: "But I think Zum is more like a bluff, because he obviously doesn't know more about the situation." ”

"So we'll continue to wait and see what happens to Zum, and if it doesn't work, we can push the pot on those two unlucky guys." Sun Huiwen nodded and said.

So, Liu Xing and the three of them continued to pretend to be ignorant, eating and drinking in the corner.

I have to say that this is worthy of a duke's castle, and the buffet served is really good.

In this way, the moon in the sky soon hung in the middle.

A dark cloud drifted by, and Zum returned to the stage, "Okay, it seems that some people are more calm than I thought, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, okay, I can only say that you have won for the time being." ”

Hearing Zum say this, everyone present, including Liu Xing, looked at Zum with a surprised face, because everyone thought that Zum would be annoyed and angry because of this, and then asked for certain measures to be taken against everyone at the scene.

As a result, Zum did not do so.

This made Liu Xing and the others a little confused.

At this moment, Zum suddenly laughed, and then said slowly: "I know that in your eyes, I am still that hairy boy with an impatient personality, so you all think that I will make some irrational choices at this time, but what I want to tell you is that you are wrong, I will not offend all of you for something that I am not sure about, not to mention that we are still a family after all, so I will not do that kind of stupid thing, and the most important thing is that the person who got this oil painting is likely to be outside the castle, Or maybe it's gone. ”

Zum sighed, shook his head and said, "I believe everyone should already know about that matter, there is a group of people who don't know that they were possessed by the legendary face-hugging insects there, so I specially took someone to burn their nests today; In addition to these people, there are more than thirty people whose whereabouts are unknown, and whose fate is unknown, so we have reason to suspect that the Duke's Medal is in the hands of these people, so I hope that we can unite and deal with those who are not here together when the knighthood is done tomorrow. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zum to be able to go off the rails, and after realizing that he was not good at doing it to everyone present, he planned to fool a group of people to work for him.

But then again, this is indeed a good choice, because while Zum wants to become a duke, he really has to think about his own reputation, otherwise it will not be interesting for this duke to be a duke.

Because no one recognizes your identity, at most you can recruit some miscellaneous people to work for you.

"It seems that this Zum is not as stupid as we thought, he actually knows to buy people's hearts at this time, it seems that tonight should not be too lively, unless the chameleon intends to act tonight."

Liu Xing went to pour another glass of champagne and continued: "But then again, the dark horse can't help us now, after all, it shouldn't be able to come to the back garden to meet us." ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the help of the dark horse, we would indeed have less chance of winning against the chameleon, and if the chameleon is really in the back garden now, then the dark horse should be able to find it out if it is also there, but unfortunately the dark horse is not there." Li Hanxing shook his head and said.

At this moment, Liu Xing saw Alice and her new "friends" come to the long table and began to work on all kinds of snacks.

At the same time, Alice winked at Liu Xing twice while others were not paying attention, and Liu Xing instantly understood what Alice wanted to say.

I see.

Liu Xing suddenly realized, and finally understood why Zum did this.

"Liu Xing, what kind of code are you sending to Alice?" Li Hanxing asked with a smile.

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said: "What kind of code is this, Alice is telling me that Zum has known about this frame for a long time, because when she handed over the Viscount Medal and the Baron Medal to Zum, she either took the initiative or passively told Zum how he got these two medals, so Zum is just using the topic to play, firstly, he wants to take the opportunity to see the reaction of everyone to determine whether the Duke Medal has fallen into their hands, and secondly, he wants to act in a play to brush up on the favorability of these NPCs." Finally, knock your younger brothers by the way. ”

Sun Huiwen took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "That's true, when Alice handed over the two knighthood medals to Zum, Zum would definitely ask where the two knighthood medals came from, because these clues can help him find the Duke Medal." ”
