You went to the young master's side in the afternoon, right? The guard standing on the left, his eyes bloodshot: "We thought you were dead too......"

"I didn't have time to rescue the young master." Shen Wenchong clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and pretended to be remorseful: "I'm sorry, everyone, I was derelict in my duty." ”

"I don't blame you, everyone didn't expect this to happen......" The other guard hung his head, his legs trembling: "I didn't expect the young master to ...... The bandits over there must have just been cleared, right? ”

"Yes." Shen Wenchong lowered his head "sadly": "It was our mistake to become like this." ”

- As the lord's guard, the number of guards in Flamewind City is not large, only about thirty people. But each of them is an elite carefully selected from among the soldiers.

However, this afternoon, they did not go out to protect the young master, except for Shen Wenchong, the escorts of the young master were ordinary guards.

And now, what Shen Wenchong wants to find out is who gave the order:

The guard let out a long sigh: "I heard that the general's side has been blown up, and we may all be executed tomorrow......"

"Do you want to run away?" Shen Wenchong asked.

"I can't run if I want to!" The guard shook his head vigorously: "Flamewind City is under martial law now, and seriously, you shouldn't have come back, man." ”

"It's okay, let me in." Shen Wenchong looked at the brightly lit camp inside the door: "If there is a problem, I will not escape." ”

"Alright then......"

Seeing that Shen Wenchong had made up his mind, the two guards in front of the door could only stand on both sides and open the wooden door of the barracks for Shen Wenchong.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, a red point of light floated over, and the burning flame was blown by the night breeze, and a thick black smoke rose up.

Shen Wenchong walked quickly to the simple-looking rock-made building, only to see a group of "fierce men" with different equipment, all gathered in the hall of the barracks, staring at them with red eyes, as if they were discussing something.

When Shen Wenchong appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Then, in the eyes of almost everyone, there seemed to be a flame of excitement:

"Shen Wenchong, you are still alive!"

The long-haired man sitting in the middle of the hall stood up suddenly, his delicate face full of joy, his long dark purple hair swaying behind his back, and if he hadn't been wearing a shirt and showing off his strong muscles, he might have been mistaken for a woman.

This guy who looks a bit like a pseudo-mother is actually the one with the strongest combat effectiveness in the guards, and he is also the leader of the guards: Ren You.

"Well, I'm back." Shen Wenchong nodded.

Although he didn't know if there were any traitors in the guards, seeing that these old guys were still alive, Shen Wenchong still relaxed a little.

Judging from their appearance, it doesn't look like they are plotting a rebellion. If the guards did not participate in the rebellion, these old comrades-in-arms should also be able to regain their strength under the command of the young master.

However, the most important piece of information cannot be divulged yet:

"Shen Wenchong, is the young master still alive?" A bald-headed strong man sitting next to Ren You asked in a rough voice: "I heard that the body of the young master has not been found, if the young master is still alive, we don't have to be beheaded by the general!" ”

Speaking of this topic, all the members of the guard cast expectant glances at Shen Wenchong. Facing the expectant eyes of these old guys, Shen Wenchong let out a sigh of relief, and then ......

"I'm sorry, I couldn't make it." He bowed his head.

As soon as these words came out, the barracks was suddenly covered with a layer of gloomy clouds, and the solemn atmosphere that was almost suffocating spread, and everyone was frowning, and the expression on their faces was as if they had been punched a few times.

I don't know how long it took, Ren You finally broke the silence:

"Forget it...... It's not your fault, it's my problem. ”

Seeing that the leader of the guard was in a state of frustration, Shen Wenchong asked in a deep voice, "I want to ask, why didn't everyone go out in the afternoon?" If we had protected him, the young master would not have died. ”

"It's the Chancellor's order that we need to escort important cargo." Ren You sighed: "I also proposed that the young master must be escorted, but he said that he had already contacted the general and sent elite troops to escort ......"

"What a tragic coincidence." Shen Wenchong whispered.

"yes." The scar on Ren You's chest seemed to be slightly red, and it seemed that his whole body was congested with blood due to anger: "If you can be as decisive as you when you leave, and send everyone out, maybe the young master will not die." ”

"But now we can only wait for punishment." A man in black who had been sitting in the corner spoke, and his voice sounded very calm: "There is no regret medicine in this world, since we have made a wrong decision, we should be punished." ”

"You're right." Ren You laughed and threw away the short knife in his hand: "All this...... We are to blame. ”

- Is that really the case?

Shen Wenchong, who was silent at first, remembered the fat body of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the seemingly "amiable" face.

As the young master said, these things were too coincidental: while the Chancellor of the Exchequer was ordering the guards to carry out other tasks, the young master happened to be attacked by bandits. Moreover, what the Chancellor of the Exchequer is talking about about "elite troop escort", in fact, does not exist at all.

Shen Wenchong remembered very well that in the process of rescuing the young master, he did not see a large number of guards, and there were only a few ordinary soldiers who were cut off by the bandits.

“……”

At this time, Shen Wenchong, who was silent, had already included the finance minister of Flamewind City in his "death list". But knowing this goal alone may not be enough to turn the tide.

INTERVIEWER Who else was involved in the rebellion other than the Chancellor? The most important point is: did the general know about the rebellion?

Was the general kept in the dark, or was he also involved in the rebellion? If the general also becomes a member of the rebels, it will be extremely difficult for the young master to regain power......

Shen Wenchong was thinking about it, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from far and near outside the barracks.

The crisp tapping sound tore through the silence of the night, and as soon as everyone stood up, they heard the two guards guarding the door shouting:

"The general is here!"

"Isn't it going to execute us now?" Ren You gritted his teeth.

The guards, who used to be the elite of the army, used to be very in awe of the general. But now, that awe has turned to fear.

Of all the members of the escort team, only one person did not show any panic: Shen Wenchong, who was standing in the crowd, quietly waiting for the general to arrive.

"Let me see if you're a traitor......
