Chapter 255: Frankly, I'm here to find fault
ยท
The five-person plan to brush up on favorability is going well, but Mobian's return to his hometown for revenge coincides with a mainland-wide demonstration, so it becomes "a little" twisty, but this is another story, and it has nothing to do with Yuanhuang.
Even if the source phoenix is the fuse.
But it's not the culprit anyway, Yuan Huang is very calm in his heart and has no sense of guilt. In fact, he was interrogating the real prisoner at the moment, a guy who lived in the midst of an angry crowd fanning the flames.
A sturdy man in his forties, with few facial features, as if he would disappear if thrown into a crowd, was naturally suited to do such a thing. Judging by the condition of his muscles, it is speculated that he may be a thief or even an assassin, and his eyes "may have been" very sharp, but from the first time Yuan Huang saw it, his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen.
Should I say that it was fortunate that Shar Pei's people caught it? The prisoner carried a bottle of corpse potion in his arms, and as long as he broke it, the corpse would be destroyed immediately, and there was no evidence of death, and he was a complete foolish and loyal dead soldier. And Shar Pei, who happened to know this routine, the first thing he did after catching the prisoner was to search for the potion bottle.
Yes, the prisoner was a subordinate of Nycoid.
It was Nikorid, who escalated the ordinary public outrage, and only sent a large number of wedges to incite the Yuanhuang's territory.
Enemy!
It's already my enemy!
The prisoner had been trained in counter-torture, and it was very difficult to extract a confession by torture. Yuan Huang didn't have the patience to only be injured and not killed, and he didn't have subordinates who were suitable for doing this kind of thing, so he took this "meeting gift" from Sha Pei's hand, quickly stuffed it back, and ordered in the identity of Yu Hanbed - pry open this guy's mouth and order me to collect it!
I'm afraid I won't be able to pry out more information anytime soon, even if Shar Pei has several younger brothers who are skilled in torture. Why did Nicorid do this? Are there any other accomplices?
Syllable.
Yuan Huang smashed his fist in the palm of his hand, and said to himself with a suddenly enlightened expression: "Just ask me directly?" โ
So, with three subordinates, seven elite spiders, nine points of anger and many guns, Yuan Huang went straight to the eastern fortress city as a celestial mage, and asked the master for his guilt!
He planned to kill Nikorid and talk about the rest later, or simply raze the city to the ground and exchange courtesies.
The fire is on the head.
The city was still the same city, but the atmosphere had changed indescribably from before, and an unsettling dark cloud hung over the eastern fortress city. In the end, it will definitely be different if the lord is changed, but it is not clear where the specific change is Yuanhuang.
As a newly promoted loyalist, of course, passing through the outer city gate is smooth. As a Heavenly Mage with boundless mana, no one would dare to stop him from passing through the middle city gate. The road was unimpeded, and Yuan Huang stood in front of the inner city gate, the last gate in front of the castle where Nikorid was located, and was blocked by the captain of the guards.
The burly man with a scarred face and full of arrogance wore a finely carved armor full of beautiful feathers, and politely apologized to Yuan Huang: "I'm very sorry sir, Lord Nikoyid has an order, please wait for a while." โ
Yuan Huang snorted.
Then he looked back at Gran behind him, who was stunned for a moment, then expressed understanding.
A young woman wearing a maid's long apron suddenly pulled out a plasma pistol and shot the captain of the guard in the head. The heat of thousands of degrees immediately melted the opponent's head and made a crackling and strange explosion sound, which soon caused a fire all over the body.
The captain of the guard was bowing his head at the time, but he was wary of Yuan Huang himself, and he didn't expect the maid next to him to make a move, and he probably didn't know how he died in the end.
"Oops, look what you've done!" Yuan Huang suddenly shouted screaming, pretending to hold his head in his hands and seemed very annoyed, "How can you kill him?" He's a great man! โ
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir." Gran apologized slightly with a calm expression.
Yuan Huang pointed to his metal skull mask: "Can't you see what my eyes are suggesting?" Who told you to kill him? โ
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"I'll let you devour the people who dare to stop me alive with a thousand knives, life is better than death, even if you want to kill the other party, you can't hit the head, it's too painful to die like that, you have to start from your toes and gradually improve, understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good, remember next time."
Yuan Huang nodded in satisfaction, looked back at the guards, and dragged away the burning corpse and made way for him to get out of the way between just a few words. It is not difficult to see that the guards are blue-faced. Nearly half of them had already worked here, and they had experienced the previous assassination of Dong Shangjue, and they felt that they were lucky not to die, and now they were even more cowardly, giving way faster than the others.
Yuan Huang raised the corners of his mouth under the mask, and finally felt that his mood was slightly better.
I was here to find fault, but I didn't expect the guards at the two gates to hide when they saw him before, and they didn't have a chance to exert their might, but now they finally got their wish. Next up, of course, is Nicorid.
The road was unimpeded, it was better to say that Yuan Huang and his party did not even dare to approach a mouse within ten meters.
Swaggered straight to the castle.
"By the way, who knows if I kill a captain of the guards and will be troubled by the king?" Yuan Huang asked the other three without replying.
Sophia answered: "You and the other party are equally loyalists. It stands to reason that the guards just politely stopped you within the normal range of etiquette, and you really shouldn't do this. However, I don't think the king will care as long as you don't mess around in the other party's castle. โ
That is to say, the only one who is angry is Nikoyid, human life is so worthless, and the real nobles can do whatever they want.
Yuan Huang smiled: "In other words, as long as I don't kill the guards in the castle, right?" โ
Sophia did think so, and the law was written so.
"Good. Then kill Nikorid alone in the castle! โ
In fact, no matter whether the king is angry or not, Yuan Huang must kill Nikoyid today. Before the sparrow incident, Yuanhuang endured it. Later, in the Great Migration, a large number of people were dug up to the eastern fortress city, and Yuanhuang endured it again. Well, the first time you were involved in someone else, and you implicated me. The second time was to reduce the burden of territory management for me. But this time it did hit me on the head!
Gran, Sophia, and Hilde all had solemn faces, they had expected that the situation might turn out to be four against the whole city, even if they had celestial magic, it would be a big deal, and they would lose their lives in a minute. Gran now felt a foreign body in her throat about to pour out, Sophia's anxious eyes couldn't focus, and even Hilde, who had always been brainless, was covered in cold sweat.
Now, no one can stop Yuan Huang from venting his anger. The castle is probably very gloomy and about to be bloodied again.
Kicking open the door and going straight to the second floor, under the guidance of the pale deacon, Yuan Huang finally saw Nikoyid with a calm face in the reception room.
A capable, small man in a noble formal dress, with bright eyes, sat on the sofa with his legs knocked, exuding the momentum that only a strong person should have: "Yo, crazy woman, your territory is so poor that you have no tea, so come here to quench your thirst?" โ
Hum.
Yuan Huang couldn't help but sneer, and directly grabbed the collar of this pretending to be a boy.
