Chapter 108: Conspiracy
With years of experience living in the court, Rolando instinctively smelled the smell of conspiracy.
Calming down, he easily remembered that the officials sent to Kiel City were all personally selected by him, and he also emphasized to these people face to face that this time the matter must be handled well, and if anyone messes up, then he Rolando will never let go of that sinner! He even remembered the name of the official in charge of distributing the food (Bilbo), and with what Rolando knew about the man, he would never dare to go against his will and do such a thing as shouting in public, "If you don't starve, you won't die."
Bilbo was threatened? Or was it dropped?
Who could it be, trying in every possible way to screw up the resettlement of the refugees in Kiel?
Rolando's eyes flashed Defoe's obnoxious face.
He snorted coldly, no matter what, he Rolando would not let the other party succeed!
β¦β¦
That afternoon, Rolando personally led a team of men and horses to the refugee town of Kiel City with food. In order to show trust and goodwill, Rolando did not bring many soldiers, and the transcendents in charge of vigilance only brought four.
But even so, the eyes of the refugees in Kiel were filled with fear.
Rolando didn't care, for it seemed to him that the common people had always been ignorant and cowardly, and that it was common to be afraid of him. No matter what he does, he can't change it.
Rolando made a beeline for the food distribution point, where there were already quite a few people waiting. Seeing him arrive with food, the men let out a burst of cheers as they scrambled forward. The scramble reminded Rolando of the horses arching into the trough, and he felt pity and contempt for the refugees in his heart.
While beckoning his men to open the sack, Rolando stood on the high platform and shouted:
"I'm Rolando! You all know me! I assure you all, what happened this morning was an absolute accident! I have asked my father, and he has decided not to punish any of you! Food will be available as usual in the future! You can rest assured! β
The people under the high stage erupted in shouts.
Rolando could see more people rushing over grabbing the cloth bags, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled to start distributing rice.
The men immediately got busy.
Rolando had come to show his friendliness, so after that he went into the crowd and chatted with the people who had come to collect the rice. Although the accent of Kiel City is a little different from that of the king, it does not affect the communication between the two sides. Rolando was a shrewd man, and he received the best education in the kingdom from an early age, and he was well-informed, and in a short time he was chatting with the refugees of Kiel City. Gradually, there was a circle of people around him, some of whom had finished receiving rice, and some of whom had not, all of whom were attracted by his account of the life of the royal capital.
Rolando was also very happy, in the royal capital, the nobles would also listen to him carefully, but he knew in his heart that these guys were willing to listen to their words most often because of their own identity, and here, these refugees in Kiel City came to listen purely because he attracted people to speak, and this attention brought Rolando a unique sense of coolness.
After talking for an unknown amount of time, a guard squeezed to Rolando's side and whispered: "Your Highness, you should go back to the royal capital, if you don't go back, the city gate will be closed." β
Rolando seemed to hear the guard's reminder after a while, and frowned, "Isn't it okay to open the door?" Are they going to keep me out? β
The guard tried to insist, but Rolando turned his head and ignored him.
Rolando chatted with the group for a while, then followed an old man to his house for a while, and then went around the refugee town.
Seeing that it was already dark, the guard just now said again: "Your Highness! It's time to go back to the royal capital! It's too dark, and I'm afraid there will be danger on the road. β
Hearing that there might be danger, Rolando stopped and said, "Yes! It's dark, who knows...... What will be done?! Suddenly, he said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" β
The guard hurriedly bowed his head: "Guilty of despicability!" β
Rolando also knew that it was not his men's fault, so he did not pursue it. Then he led the men out of the townβhe had come on horseback, and the horses had been left behind.
Just as he was about to leave the town, a transcendent flew close to the ground, covered in blood!
"Your Highness! There's an ambush outside the town! The transcendent shouted.
Rolando panicked and forced himself to compose: "What happened?" β
β¦β¦
"Damn it! How did you let that guy slip away! Outside the refugee town, a masked man said.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Another asked.
This highness was none other than Defoe, and his face was neither happy nor sad, as if he were not going to kill his half-brother, but a pig to be slaughtered.
"Attack." Defoe said.
β¦β¦
"Are you sure?!"
"Sure, Your Majesty!" The Transcendent Guard said.
Knowing that the army and hundreds of transcendents appeared outside the town, Rolando's composure could no longer be maintained, and he could never have imagined that Defoe was so bold as to mobilize an army to kill him outside the royal capital!
Is this guy crazy?!
As for the source of the army and the transcendental, Rolando didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been provided to him by someone from the Kurtu family!
Defoe, and the Kurtu family, turned out to be really the opposite!
"Your Highness, we are absolutely no match for so many people! Retreat! A transcendent guard said.
Rolando did not hesitate and immediately said: "Then retreat!" β
"The Transcendental Guards come with me! The others retreated separately! He continued.
No one questioned his decision: "Yes! β
At the same time, shouts of killing rang out outside the town.
"Let's go!" Rolando gritted his teeth and ran firstβ
β¦β¦
At this moment, Patty and Jim were walking around town. Take a walk after dinner, which is a rare treat for Patty and Jim. In the past, they could not eat at all, and in order to save energy, it was better to shrink and stay motionless except to go out to find food, but now, they can also take a walk when they are full.
From the bottom of her heart, Patti felt very happy to take a walk after dinner.
As she walked, Patty's ears suddenly moved, and she stopped and said, "Jim, I hear some voices." β
"What sound?! Why didn't I hear that? Jim said with a frown.
"Ah, maybe I misheard."
But just then, a woman's screams pierced the sky, and soon, more and more cries came!
Patty and Jim looked at each other, and Jim said with a serious face, "Something's wrong!" β
"Where are you going?" Patty's experience alerted Patty, and she immediately asked.
"Run out of town! Hide in the woods for the night and see how it goes! Before he could finish speaking, Jim pulled Patty and ran!
Both children have a lot of confusion in their hearts, but both of them know that now is never the time to explore these confusions, no matter what they are, saving their lives is the most important thing!
No one knew what was going on, no one knew what was going on, and it seemed like in an instant, the town was in chaos. Crying, cursing, shouting, all the mess! A fire broke out on the east side of the town, and Patty and Jim were running when they saw people running in front of them covered in blood! The two children couldn't help but be even more scared!
Running out of an alley, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the left, and a knight actually galloped up, and when he saw Jim and Patty, he waved his arm and stabbed it!
