The weather has been gloomy for the past few days, and the roads that have only rained are muddy and potholed.

Su Mu's body had only recovered, and he was not too tired, so he called a carriage and hurried away.

The destination, of course, is Wangcheng.

He went a few days early, and he was afraid that Evans would go first by himself, but who knew that it had been raining every day recently, which hindered the journey.

Shaken by the uneven road, Su Mu tried his best to hold on to both sides of the carriage to keep his balance, otherwise he would be stupid under the bumps in the road.

"Master, stop and rest for a while." Su Mu poked his head out of the carriage and stopped the coachman who had been hurrying all the way.

After nearly a day's journey, both of them were tired at the moment, Su Mu got out of the car, stretched his waist and moved his muscles.

It's a two-thousand-year-old monster, and as an old tree rooted in the ground, if you lack exercise, I'm afraid your whole body will be so stiff that you can't move.

Su Mu looked back at the dirt behind him, and walked back a little way to set up barricades, in fact, these barricades are not dangerous, but just cast a spell to stop the person whose name Evans is called.

It's a pity for the person with the same name as him.

This can be blocked for at least four or five days, and when Su Mu completes the matter, this roadblock will almost disappear.

After resting almost and getting into the carriage, Su Mu embarked on the road to continue in the direction of Wangcheng.

……

The road was bumpy, and he didn't sleep well at night, Su Mu's neck was sore at this time, he woke up from his sleep, and finally saw the gate of the royal city in front of him.

In front of the gate, a drawbridge connected the ravine, and the carriage walked to it, and looked down to see the rushing river flowing into the distance, beating the cliffs on either side mercilessly and furiously. Raise your eyes, there is a flow of people in front of the gate, and it is very lively.

Looking up further, the walls on both sides of the gate were made of stones, and the height of the walls made Su Mu admire, and the soldiers above the walls lined up motionless, like a majestic and majestic picture.

Entering the royal city, the prosperity of the city was incomparable to that of a small town, Su Mu looked around and marveled at the grandeur of the scale.

Coming to a small hotel, the carriage stopped.

"Thank you, master." Su Mu got out of the car, thanked the carriage master, and the two said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door of the hotel, a familiar voice came to him.

"So expensive?!"

Evans?

Su Mu looked at the counter fixedly, and sure enough, it was him.

He was talking to the person in front of the counter, and seemed to think that the accommodation fee of the hotel was too high, and he was bargaining with him, but the accommodation fee was fixed, how could he change it?

Su Mu shook his head, stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect to be one step faster by you." ”

"Huh?" Hearing that it was Su Mu's voice, Evans glanced back, "Why did you come so soon?" ”

"I should ask you that, right?" Su Mu asked helplessly, "You just arrived?" ”

Evans tilted his head and nodded hesitantly.

"Can't live in a hotel? There are still guests lining up in the back! Get out of the way! At the counter, a mean-talking man waved his hand, signaling Evans to get out of the way and not get in the way of his business.

Seeing this, Su Mu threw a gold coin over: "Is this enough?" It's enough for the two of us to stay for more than ten days, right? ”

"Ah, enough, enough." The man's eyes lit up when he saw so much money, and he immediately respected the two, "Someone! Prepare two rooms! Take two guests up! ”

"Hmph, a flattering look." Evans scolded him softly, but fortunately the man didn't hear him.

Turning his head, he saw Su Mu beside him, and avoided his gaze embarrassedly: "Thank you, thank you, I'll return you." ”

The two went upstairs without speaking, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

In order to break this embarrassment, Evans said: "Before, I'm sorry for ......"

"Before?" Su Mu deliberately repeated these two words, "What's the matter?" Ah, I helped you assassinate Duke Brian, right? ”

He didn't say it loud but it wasn't light, and Evans covered his mouth in a panic: "Shhhhhh If only others knew! ”

"Someone else?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows and looked around, "Look at it, where are there still people?" ”

The person who took them upstairs had already gone down, and at this time, there were only the two of them in this dark and oppressive corridor, and it was very silent.

Seeing that there was no one around, Evans finally relieved himself, he opened the door with the key, and pulled Su Mu to hide.

"By the way, Su Mu, you won't give up on helping me get revenge, right?" Evans asked, closing the door.

"Of course not." Su Mu leaned on the back of the door, his hands crossed on his chest, looking idle.

"That ......"

Evans wanted to say something more, but even though the two had only known each other for less than a month, he had seen through Su Mu's character. This yew tree usually looks lazy, but once it becomes stubborn, it is more stubborn than anyone else.

"Forget it, you go back to your room, you insist on going whatever I say, I might as well not waste my tongue."

Unexpectedly, Evans gave up persuading himself, Su Mu looked at him in a daze, and then returned to normal, and a lazy voice sounded: "So, since I have to go, then don't go, a Duke of Brian can't be difficult for me." ”

"Alas, do you really think that Wang Cheng can enter when he says he can enter and go out when he says it?" Evans sighed.

Su Mu smiled: "Not for you, but for me it is true, I am a dryad, I come and go without a trace, who can catch it?" To put it mildly, I can still uproot and run away with my yew tree~"

It was said in such a graphic way that Evans did imagine it for a few seconds.

However, he always felt that it was not appropriate.

Again, let others take their lives for revenge, Evans can't do it.

"Okay, don't worry." Su Mu suddenly changed his tone, "I won't kill Brian, but you have to agree to let me follow you so that I can keep you safe." ”

"Huh?" Evans thought he had misheard, and it took a few seconds for him to come to his senses.

I saw him smile and nod heavily: "Okay!" But you have to promise me! I can only get to know him myself! ”

The two reached an agreement on this.

However, when it finally came the day of the king's birthday feast, no one wanted to keep the promise.

Evans was going to go alone, and he had already made a good relationship with Peter, who was in charge of transporting the ingredients, and on the day of the feast, he disguised himself as a porter; And Su Mu, that is, on the day of the birthday banquet, he was relatively simple and rude, and directly used spells to stun Evans and make him fall asleep.

Skimming over Evans's sleeping face, Su Mu slowly lowered his head and looked at his wheat-colored hands.

"You're already dirty." He smiled self-deprecatingly, remembering a young girl who had passed by under his tree more than a thousand years ago.

She was disheveled, covered in scars, and when she saw Su Mu, who suddenly revealed her true body from the tree, she knelt down and begged to end her own life.

At that time, Su Mu didn't understand, he only knew how to fulfill her wishes, so he twisted her neck with one hand.

Blood poured from the corner of the girl's mouth and onto the back of his wheat-colored hand......

……

At night, the royal city is even more lively, and as soon as it is dark, the whole royal city is covered with firelight, and the flickering torches in the wind illuminate the huge streets, and the lights are bright, all the way to the palace gates.

The nobles entered one after another, and Su Mu was dressed in aristocratic clothes that he had gotten out of nowhere, and he also mixed in with the crowd.

He behaved in an elegant and dignified manner, and when he followed the crowd to the gate of the royal palace, he took out a piece of parchment and showed it to the soldiers.

The soldier nodded, and bowed respectfully to welcome him in.

Putting away the parchment, Su Mu smiled.

In fact, this outfit, including this sheepskin invitation, was taken by him from another nobleman, and he knocked the man unconscious, stripped him naked, and threw him in the alley.

It was a little viscount from a remote place, and not many people would have seen it.

With this confidence, Su Mu easily got into it.

"Stop! Catch him! Someone has infiltrated the palace! Unexpectedly, just a few steps in, the sound of soldiers roaring behind him, Su Mu thought he was exposed, and when he was about to escape, he found that the cry was not a soldier at the gate, but from the side door.

An ominous premonition rose in his heart, Su Mu hurriedly raised his eyes, but only saw a few soldiers chasing a figure, because there was no light in the corner, Su Mu couldn't see the figure clearly.

But he always felt that his heart was not very steady.

After thinking about it, Evans was left by him in the hotel and fell asleep, and it was impossible to come, and this uneasy mood precipitated.

……

Behind a wooden door that was not very high, in a dark corner, there was no fire, and only three people could be vaguely seen.

The singing and laughter in the distance seemed irrelevant to them, and the atmosphere was so tense that one of the figures who had been forcibly pressed to the ground was almost out of breath.

The man was pressed by a stout guy, unable to move, clamped tightly, his thick arms against his neck, a strong feeling of suffocation hit, and the restrained man could only struggle uselessly.

"I didn't expect you to dare to follow?!" One of the men standing said angrily.

The sharp and mean male duck voice is Jon, the son of Duke Brian.

"Please spare me, I'm not here to find Stella today." Immediately after, Evans' voice was released, and his hand grabbed the strong man's arm and tried to push it away, but in vain.

How could this boy, who was only sixteen years old, be more powerful than the man he had done two laps? Struggling is naturally useless.

But to be caught by Jon, Evans was too careless.

"Hehe, you dare to get into the palace, you can't get tired of it! Last time you were saved by the man who knew some strange spells, I haven't asked you to settle the score! It's good today, and I've sent it to the door. ”

Jon crouched down and waved for the brawny man to release the arm that was pressing Evans' neck.

Suddenly, a large breath of fresh air poured into his nasal throat and he gasped heavily, and Evans was glad that if he was suppressed like this, he was afraid that he would have to go directly to his father.

He lifted his determined, hateful eyes and swept Jon in front of him.

That kind of look seems to be able to penetrate people.

Jon got up and took a few steps back, swearing in his mouth.

Evans had already made up his mind that even if he died, he would drag Brian to hell together.

Of course, if conditions permit, I also hope that Jon will die with his father......
