After Lin Chi's nonsense, Shen Wenchong finally reluctantly accepted his statement.

However, Shen Wenchong was still opposed to Lin Chi's sudden decision to recruit assassins, as for why he said that, just look at his attitude towards those two children.

"Don't look around when you walk, if I find out that you two are planning to assassinate the young master, don't want your heads!"

"Yes, yes......" said the long-haired kid who walked next to him in a low voice, "We won't do that." ”

The man in white who was leading the horse stared vigilantly at the somewhat rickety figures of the two children, while Lin Chi walked behind Shen Wenchong, separated from the two "assassins" who had just been recruited.

Now this child's body is too weak in combat power. In the case of not knowing whether the other party wants to submit to him, Lin Chi naturally will not gamble with his own life.

"Young master, get on the horse." Shen Wenchong pointed to the brown horse he was leading: "The wildfire is rested." ”

With Shen Wenchong's assistance, Lin Chi sat on the back of his horse again, grabbed the reins and tried to control the strong beast.

Because he was too short, Lin Chi's feet couldn't step on the stirrups at all, which looked quite funny. But a rope hanging from the saddle can be used as a "harness".

Perhaps the player has his own "riding bonus", Lin Chi, who has never ridden a horse in the real world, quickly adapted to the "operation" of this horse, driving Shen Wenchong's horse and walking next to the other three.

"Where are you going now?" Lin Chi asked.

"Young master, let's go back to the guard's station first." Shen Wenchong replied immediately.

"You don't trust me?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

"I'm your personal bodyguard, but I'm also a member of the guard." Shen Wenchong's face was solemn: "Even if you say so, you must confirm it first." ”

"Really?" Lin Chi looked down at the two children walking in front: "If they rebel, I will be chopped into meat sauce as soon as I enter, are you willing to take the responsibility of 'killing the young master'?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Wenchong lowered his head and was silent.

He naturally knew very well that if the guards really betrayed the young master, his act of taking the young master back would be tantamount to "door-to-door delivery". At that time, he and the young master may be directly killed.

"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?" The kid who had been resisting before said impatiently: "What 'young master'? Who are you? ”

"Shut up." Shen Wenchong scolded: "No one is talking to you!" ”

Hearing the child's words, Lin Chi suddenly thought of a new question: "Are there many people in the city who know what I look like?" ”

"There shouldn't be many people in the slums, but you only participated in the celebration in the city three months ago, and there should be many people in the city who can recognize your appearance." Shen Wenchong replied.

"Okay, I see."

Lin Chi said as he turned over and jumped off the horse, suddenly bent down and grabbed a touch of loess from the ground and slapped it on his face.

"Young master, what are you doing?" Shen Wenchong hurriedly stepped forward: "You don't have to do this!" ”

"Someone might want to assassinate me." Lin Chi said as he took off his blue yarke hat and threw it aside, and then stained himself with some dust: "It's better for you to disguise it too, Shen Wenchong." ”

"Please believe that the guards ......" Shen Wenchong sighed, but after all, he did not forcibly stop Lin Chi's actions.

The four of them, each with their own thoughts, continued to march in the direction of the city, and a high wall appeared in the distance in everyone's sight.

The wall was nearly twenty meters high, and it was more like a barrier to defend against giants than a barrier against enemy attacks. Obviously, this is the "cliff" that separates the urban area and the slums of Flamewind City.

"I'll say that we're kidnapped children later, don't say I'm a young master, do you understand?" Lin Chi gave an order to Shen Wenchong.

Shen Wenchong seemed to want to say something, but in the end he nodded silently and led the horse towards the tall city wall.

After walking along the road for a while, they finally arrived in front of the heavy black iron city gate, and the four of them were stopped by the guards guarding the gate without any suspense.

"Identify yourself." The guards in silver light armor, a pair of alert eyes appeared under the helmet, and his gaze passed over Shen Wenchong's face, and then swept over the three children below.

"Down there are the lord's guards." Shen Wenchong said and took out a metal nameplate from his arms and held it up in front of the soldier: "This is ...... The child I rescued. ”

"It was abducted by the untouchables outside the wall, right? It's pitiful......" the guard sighed.

As soon as these words came out, the two children clenched their fists, but they wisely did not choose to attack immediately. As for Lin Chi, he kept rubbing his eyes with his head down, looking like a "little pitiful" who was crying.

In order not to be recognized by the guards, he chose to deceive the other party's eyes through acting. The guard checked Shen Wenchong's nameplate, glanced at the three dirty children again, and finally nodded:

"Let's go inside."

Lin Chi glanced at Shen Wenchong, and the four of them slowly walked into the city gate, stepping into the wide road paved with square rocks.

Just before the four of them entered the door, the guard suddenly spoke again:

"You're incompetent, guard."

"What's wrong?" Shen Wenchong turned his head sharply, and Lin Chi immediately stopped.

"And ask me what's wrong? Don't you know? The guard sighed, his voice hoarse from pain: "The young lord was intercepted and killed by bandits in the wilderness when he was out hunting. Now it's the Great General who has temporarily taken over control of Flamewind City, and he hasn't decided what to do yet. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing the shocking news, Shen Wenchong's face distorted, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and Lin Chi, who was standing on the side, quietly tugged at the corner of Shen Wenchong's clothes.

- It seems that his worst prediction has come true. The bandits who suddenly appeared in the forest before were indeed arranged by the power grabbers!

Shen Wenchong looked back at Lin Chi, then at the soldiers, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and slowly said, "But ......"

"I want to go home......" Lin Chi pretended to cry.

"You'd better go, and go back and receive your punishment." The guard glanced at Lin Chi: "According to the character of the general, the entire lord guard may be beheaded." ”

"Oh, okay, I'll go."

Shen Wenchong, who woke up like a dream, left the city gate with three children, tied his horse to a stake on the side of the road, squatted down weakly, and held his head with both hands:

"I didn't expect them to really ...... This kind of thing will be done. ”

"It's human nature." Lin Chi accepted it very calmly: "Think about it, if the power is held by a child who has no ability to resist, will you try to usurp power?" ”

"I wouldn't do that!" Shen Wenchong gritted his teeth: "I am willing to sacrifice everything for the young master!" ”

"Uh-huh, I see." Lin Chi smiled and looked up at the busy street: "I know you're very uncomfortable, but don't be impulsive, we have to think long-term and find a way to expose the conspiracy." ”

The young lord, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, was plotted by the "adults" who had always coveted power. This kind of inexplicable and wonderful plot development was unexpected by Lin Chi.

However, since it didn't go well on your side, it shouldn't go well for other players. The first task at the moment is to regain control of Flamewind City.

Lin Chizheng was thinking about it, only to see that the task prompt had appeared in front of him:

Start Mission: Ruler of Flamewind City.

The scheming thief tried to assassinate the young master and seize the position of lord. Kill them and let the populace witness your power and return to the throne of Firewind.

Quest Reward: Turn on "Lord Mode".

- It seems that this so-called lord mode should be the "commander mode" that dominates the entire city. However, it will not be so easy to take back control of Flamewind City.

"Young master, I'm sorry......" Shen Wenchong hung his head: "I didn't expect that the situation would develop like this......"

"It's okay, at least you got me out." Lin Chi patted Shen Wenchong's back soothingly, and then looked at the two children who had been standing next to him.

After hearing the conversation just now, the two children finally understood who recruited them. The eyes of both of them widened, as if they didn't believe it at all, and pointed at Lin Chi's face with their fingers:

"You...... Are you ......?"

"Be quiet." Lin Chi reminded: "If we are recognized, our lives will have to be explained here." ”

"Young master, let's find a hotel to rest." After going through the process from shock to frustration, Shen Wenchong finally came to his senses: "I didn't expect you to be right......"

"Well, I'll rest for a while, I'm a little tired." Lin Chi nodded.

Shen Wenchong, who was the lord's guard, wanted to take out the money for the store, so naturally he took out more than a dozen silver coins and put them on the counter, and when he saw three dirty children, the shopkeeper with a disgusted expression immediately smiled:

"Here, please, two upper rooms."

Lin Chi and Shen Wenchong were in one room, and the two children lived in the other room. The superior rooms at this inn are spacious, and there is a tub for bathing, but that's about it.

"Take a shower." Lin Chi stood in front of the door and said to the two little heads that were poking out from the door of another room: "If you want to run, please do you, but I think you also want to see it, right?" ”

"Of course I won't run away, I'm going to kill the general!" The kid with messy hair waved his fist in high spirits.

"Be careful with what you say and do." Shen Wenchong grimaced: "We are not the only ones who live here. ”

Turning around and closing the door, Lin Chi stood in the room, staring at his face from the bronze mirror hanging on the wall.

The "young master" that catches his eye is not much different from his appearance when he was a child, and the long hair tied up in a bunch at the back of his head is very conspicuous, all the way to the waist.

The young master's long braid had been hidden in his hat before, and after throwing away the hat, he finally couldn't hide it. Looking at the dusty and delicate face in the mirror, Lin Chi looked back at Shen Wenchong and said with a smile:

"Cut off my braids and do it."

"Young master......" Shen Wenchong hesitated.

"What are you waiting for? Think I'll look better in a girl's outfit? Lin Chi smiled: "Now if you want to hide your identity, you must erase the obvious features, and short hair is also more convenient when fighting." ”

"Yes, I see."

Shen Wenchong nodded slowly, pulled out a short knife and cut off Lin Chi's braid.

"Well, that's right."

Lin Chi, who had regained his fresh short hair, came to the basin to wash his face and wipe the dirt off his face. Then he stretched and stood in front of the window and stared down the street below:

"Let me ask again, now that the matter has come to this, will you continue to be loyal to me?"

"Of course." Shen Wenchong's answer did not hesitate or be confused: "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the young master." Go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate. ”

"Well, that's good." Lin Chi turned to look at his loyal guard, and a bright smile appeared on his little face:

"I'll take back power, whoever orchestrated this betrayal, his death is coming soon."

————————

"Hey, are you letting me watch a palace fight drama, friend?"

The "coach" who was watching the live broadcast from Lin Chi's perspective in the virtual space of the brain imaging silently began to complain in his consciousness.

When he returned home, he was quickly accepted by his parents, and although he lost his physical body in reality, he became a member of the family again.

My father bought a welcome robot that looks like a human, and even the height is very close to the "coach" before the accident, and now the coach uses the body of the welcome robot in the real world.

However, even after returning to "everyday life", the coach is still keeping an eye on the invitational tournament of War Paradise. Although I didn't participate in the competition this time, watching the game was still essential.

According to what he just saw, the players in the game "Nightmare Eyes" didn't seem to have a smooth start.

Except for the "Burning Demon", who was full of character and brought good luck, and successfully became the lord, the other twenty-nine lords all encountered various incidents: betrayal by their soldiers, being stripped of power, and competing with several other princes for inheritance...... All kinds of obstacles emerge one after another, and they are all anxious at the moment.

"Haha, the passing year is not good." The coach commented.

In fact, Lin Chi's side was not the most unlucky. Among the players the coach saw, the worst was the teenager named "Terminator":

The lord played by the "Terminator" seems to be a promiscuous unconscious king, and the one who is about to be overthrown. Not long after entering the game, the Terminator has been captured by the soldiers and locked in a cell, and will soon be decapitated.

Looking at the Terminator's depressed expression as he sat in his cell, the coach couldn't help but laugh. I switched the perspective and continued to watch the other players.

- The damn Emperor "Burning Demon" is still as good luck as ever, the cannon fodder "Grand Arcanist" in the last invitational tournament has finally found a suitable venue for himself this time, and has regained the position of lord and began to develop the territory. As for the "Blood Blade" side......

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

As soon as he switched his perspective to the side of the Blood Blade, the coach felt a strong sense of confusion.
