As soon as she entered the house, Isha couldn't hold it anymore, her legs were weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Alan was by her side, reached out and hugged her, and then sent her back to the room with the assistance of the maid.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"

Alan didn't know how to express his guilt.

"It's us who should say I'm sorry, it's us who dragged you down. ”

Isha held Alan's hand tightly.

"Brother Allen, what about those family members? ”

Miranda ran in and asked for instructions, the family members outside did not get forgiven by Allen, and now they did not dare to get up at all, otherwise, as Isha said, they would not deserve to continue to stay in the ancient city of Okusan.

"Let them go back, I don't blame them. ”

Alan waved his hand, he wasn't in the mood to deal with this matter at all right now.

"Let them kneel first. ”

Isha said in a cold tone.

"Sister-in-law, it's not necessary, right?"

"You can't be too merciful to them, or you'll be taken for granted, and maybe there will be a second time in the future. ”

Seeing Isha's insistence, Alan could only signal Miranda to ignore the kneeling family members first.

"Aunt Isa, you're awesome. These people outside really don't know what to do, I think it's okay to drive them out of the ancient city of Aogu. ”

Miranda waved her small fist, clearly angry at the troublemakers.

"These refugees are not bad in nature, they are not ungrateful, I suspect that they are being used, Miranda, you arrange someone to investigate, you must find out who is behind it. ”

Isha corrects Miranda.

"Taken advantage of?"

Miranda was a little puzzled.

"I heard the other day that some of the refugees were spreading rumors that Alan was a conspirator who wanted to use the Gothas to achieve his political ambitions, and that they might be behind the trouble. ”

Isha spoke her guess, and his guess was very accurate. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the refugees in the courtyard were still kneeling and did not leave, Stanny, who was in charge of investigating the conspiracy behind the scenes, came back, and at the same time detained several people.

"It's them, who are inciting the families of the soldiers of the Youth League everywhere, saying that we have killed so many people in the war because of Brother Allen's selfishness. ”

Stanny kicked the leader and said angrily.

Looking at the man who was a little bloated, Alan was stunned, this person was none other than his "old friend" --- the former mayor of the town, Apple.

It turned out that after Allen took charge of the power of the ancient city of Oku, Aple was the first to be removed from his post for provoking refugees from the eastern and western tribes and creating disputes. For this reason, Aple has always held a grudge, and arranged for people to spread rumors everywhere that Allen had no plan to go north to recover the grasslands, hoping to oust Allen from power. He has been the mayor of Tiesong Town for many years, has accumulated some power, and has also contributed to the relief of refugees, and has a certain status in the hearts of some refugees. When the list of casualties in the defense of Capra Pass came out, he personally lobbied the families who had a good relationship with him, telling them that the Battle of Capra Pass did not need to pay such a tragic sacrifice, and that it was purely to meet Allen's strategic need to attack Yus in the south. In this way, a part of the ignorant family of the dead son and brother was deceived, and his people were also fanning the flames when they made trouble, but they didn't expect the crisis to be resolved by a few words from Isha, and his people hurriedly went back to report the news, only to be caught by Stanny, who was following him.

"Alan, for the sake of our friendship for many years, I have helped you before, so spare me this time!"

Aple kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged bitterly.

"Allen, this kind of person is the bane, and it must not be spared. ”

Seeing Allen's hesitation, the others hurriedly persuaded him. Aple's heart can be punished, and if he really wants to be punished for his crimes, the death penalty will not escape.

"Forget it, confiscate his property, and drive him out of the ancient city of Okusan, where he will never be allowed to enter. ”

However, looking at the bloodstained Aple on his forehead, Allen still relented. After all, Apple's actions did not cause irreparable consequences, and even through Isha's reprimand to the family, the refugees no longer dared to question themselves, and Appleer is Kevin Borg's cousin, if he really killed him, how would Kevin explain to his mother.

"Thank you Alan! No, thank you Archmage for not killing. ”

Aple escaped death, and in his excitement, he was incoherent, kowtowed to Allen a few times, turned around and wanted to run.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Alan stopped him again.

Aple startled a spirit, who thought Alan had changed his mind again.

"Before you go, go outside and explain the bad things you did in front of everyone. ”

"Good!

Seeing that it was not his own life, Aple agreed in a panic as if he had been amnestied, and went outside to explain all the things about how he used the family of the sacrificed soldier to frame Allen. The family realized that they were not only ungrateful, but also stupid enough to be taken advantage of, and even more remorseful, a group of sturdy women rushed up and pushed Aple to the ground and slammed him, if it wasn't for Sanders to save him, he would have been beaten to death by the angry crowd.

"Give you two days to get out of the ancient city of Aogu, or I'll cut you into pieces and eat you raw. ”

Sanders threw Aple out of the courtyard, then bared his teeth and threatened that he had a reputation for eating orcs raw, and that many parents used Sanders' name to deal with disobedient children, and it was very effective.

"I'll get out right away. ”

Aple was so frightened that his pants were wet. He left Iron Pine the same day, fearing being pursued by Allen, he did not dare to take the main road but chose a path that was rarely visited and headed south, and when he arrived outside the capital of Yuss four months later, he was already ragged and beggar-like. When he was desperate, he saw a carriage pull out of Boulder City, the curtain of the carriage was drawn and a man was looking out the window.

"Mistress Quentin!"

Like a man overboard who saw a piece of driftwood float by, Aple shouted and rushed forward to stop the carriage in its path.

Aple was not mistaken, it was Quentin Ogu who was in the carriage, he was kicked out of the ancient city of Ocheng by Allen a year ago, and he also made all the way south to Boulder City, but it seems that his small life is much more nourishing than that of Aple, not only with a carriage ride but also with servants.

Surprised to meet his old man outside Boulder, Quentin Ogu put Aupler in a carriage and took him back to his estate in the suburbs.

After washing up and changing into a comfortable robe, and having the most satisfying meal in four months, the burping Aple met Quentin Ogu in the living room under the guidance of the servants.

"Why are you here?"

Taking the muller wine handed by Quentin, Aple looked at the luxurious furnishings in the living room in amazement, and wondered why he was so depressed when he was also kicked out of the ancient city of Oto, while Quentin Ogu was able to live a rich life.

"Don't call me an adult in the future, this is not an ancient city, we are all ordinary people. If it weren't for the foresight I had at the time and bought a large number of assets in Yous, I would probably be homeless now. ”

Quentin didn't tell the whole truth, it was his cousin Horantster who really secretly invested in Boulder City, the purpose was to leave a way out for himself, but when he really lost power, he was directly sent away by the elves arranged by Allen, and there was no chance to take over this part of the property, and it happened that Quentin was also involved in this matter, so he came to Boulder City to take over the secret assets that belonged to his cousin.

"I am still a wise adult, and if I had one-tenth of the wisdom of an adult, I would not be reduced to the point where I am now penniless. ”

Aple looked frustrated, but he insisted on calling Quentin an adult, and Quentin didn't correct him.

"Wisdom? haha! If you are really wise, you won't be kicked out of the ancient city by Allen. ”

Quentin shook his head and smiled bitterly at himself.

"My lord, as long as you don't give up, I believe there will always be a chance to make a comeback. ”

Aple said through gritted teeth.

"At the beginning, we held the power of the ancient city state of Oto, but we couldn't fight Alan Kanter, but now he is in power, and he has just defeated the orcs at Capra Pass and Valen Pass, and his reputation is simply sky-high, not to mention that we are like lost dogs, even if the Yuss Empire wants to deal with him, we are not completely sure. ”

Quentin shook his head, looking extremely depressed, although he had never given up on returning to the ancient city of Aogu, he still had basic self-knowledge. The gap between himself and Allen is too big, and there is no possibility of a reversal.

"Forget it, it's a pleasure for us to meet in a foreign land, don't always mention these unhappy things. Tell me how you got to this point. ”

Quentin drained the mueller in his glass in one gulp, and swallowed it with a seemingly irresistible frustration.

Aple immediately described in detail how he was driven out of Iron Pine by Allen, and how he escaped to Boulder City along an inaccessible path, and when he talked about the tragic experience of hunger and cold, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and a large number of people of his age wept with snot and tears. When he finished venting, he wiped away his tears only to find that Quentin next to him was holding an empty wine glass and was stunned, as if he had thought of something important.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh!"

Aple's question awakened the pensive Quentin, who looked at Apleer with blazing eyes and asked:

"You're saying there's a path that goes around Nice City and leads straight to the ancient city of Aogu?"

"It's true. ”

"If you were asked to lead the way, would you still be able to find it?"

"Of course!"

Aple patted his chest and promised.

"Aple, you are really a blessing from the God of Light, and our chance to return to the ancient city of Aogu is just around the corner. ”

Quentin Ogu suddenly stood up and hugged Aple excitedly, his eyes radiating a serpent's greedy and vicious gaze.
