Chapter 19: A Worse Situation

The convoy of more than a hundred people, roughly divided into two components.

Some of them were temporarily drawn from the Liuyun family's regular guards, only about thirty people, while the other part was temporarily recruited adventurers, nearly seventy people.

Those temporarily recruited guards are mainly a few small adventure groups, in addition to Christine's Wind Wolf Adventure Group, there are also Thorn Grass Adventure Group, and some adventurers of the Vulture Adventure Group.

The entire escort team is simply a hodgepodge, if it weren't for Vivien's strength and ability to control the field, maybe there would have been infighting long ago.

When Yunlang learned about these situations in more detail, his head ached a little...... He also likes "cranky thinking" very much, how can he not give full play to his strengths on this basis!

He suddenly thought of an extremely bad possibility, that is: he may be an outcast now......

The Liuyun family is full of talents, and it is very incredible in itself to send a well-known "waste" to Shining Gold Town to succeed the lord! What kind of secret is hidden in this, he can't accurately guess for the time being, but how can it be simple!

Moreover, with the strength of the Liuyun family, it should not be difficult to protect him from taking up his post safely. But instead of doing so, a "hodgepodge" of escorts was formed improvised by patchwork and scattering, isn't this clearly for another purpose?

Perhaps, some people in the Liuyun family originally wanted to take this opportunity to attract out those potential enemies who hated the Liuyun family.....

It's done, a waste for an enemy, at least not a loss.

No, it's no pity that a waste dies......

He unconsciously remembered what the middle-aged guard who was considered a spy said before he died: "The Liuyun family has never been a waste. ”

At that time, he felt a little strange, why this guard would say this, and why he would commit suicide so resolutely...... It's just that he had just passed through the possession at that time, and he didn't know much about it, thought about it less, and didn't find the right direction.

And now that I think about it, if that spy was sent by someone in the Liuyun family, it would be easy to explain......

He was angry and tired, but he wasn't shocked!

“...... Vivien, the guards drawn from the Liuyun family, can you still tell who they are?" Yun Lang asked in a low voice as he took Vivian and deliberately stayed away from the others.

"Master, Vivien could tell that they had lost a few of their dead in the battle, and that there were less than twenty left...... Do you have something you need to tell them?" she replied in a cautious whisper, sensing that the atmosphere was a little unpleasant.

"You go and do something as soon as possible and single out all those people...... As far as possible, there is not a single left. Then, he ordered them to go to Shining Gold Town as soon as possible, saying that it was for me, who was about to succeed the lord, to prepare in advance. ”

"Master, they are the foundation of the entire escort team, and they can monitor the temporarily recruited adventurers for you, if they are all transferred, there may be chaos......" Vivien reminded with some embarrassment.

"You do it first, and when I get back, I'll explain the reason in detail. Yunlang was afraid that she would not be good at forbearance, so he sold a pass first.

Vivien reluctantly received the order, and quickly gathered those guards, and according to Yunlang's request, let them travel lightly and take the lead in Shining Gold Town.

Some of the guards are more willing, after all, if they can get out of the damp and difficult twilight forest earlier, not only can they suffer less crimes, but they can also be less disturbed by demonic beasts, and some guards show great reluctance, their excuse is "to protect the safety of adults nearby, not to leave without permission".

Vivian hesitated a little in her heart, so she didn't try her best to suppress it, and she came to Yunlang after making a lot of noise.

This idea was originally Yunlang's idea, and of course he would not waver, so he patiently persuaded the guards who were unwilling to go first, and gave three quite reasonable explanations.

First, notify the guards of Shining Gold Town as soon as possible, and come to pick him up as soon as possible, so that he can be safer.

Second, he couldn't get to Shining Gold anytime soon, and if there were no lords there, it might cause chaos. And these guards, who have served the Liuyun family all year round, are trustworthy people, so they were sent to take the lead and show the existence of the lord.

Third, you can also supervise and assist the nobles of Shining Gold Town to prepare for the welcome ceremony.....

Those guards who were unwilling to go first couldn't refute it at all, so they had to follow Yunlang's request and reluctantly leave first.

By the time they were gone, Vivien couldn't wait to ask the truth again.

Yun Lang relied on her a lot, and he didn't want to hide it from her, so he roughly explained the reason. But before that, he first asked a question: "Vivian, with your understanding of the Liuyun family, can the huge Liuyun family easily dispatch more than a hundred guards, is it necessary to temporarily recruit adventurers to act as guards?"

Vivian was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head, and replied with some hesitation: "Vivian is also a little puzzled about this, but this is the arrangement of your brother Yunhai Liuyun, and Vivian doesn't dare to question it......"

Yun Lang was afraid that she would blame herself too much, so he patted the back of her hand lightly, and persuaded lightly: "I don't blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself......"

After Vivian felt a little better, she waited for the next step, and she could vaguely guess that this matter was probably not simple.

"When we are attacked, any of us will immediately think of the guards who are not well protected. If the guards who protect us are all the standing guards of the Liuyun family, then the direction to be investigated is relatively simple, and if there are any further mistakes, then the people of the Liuyun family who want to deal with me will inevitably be difficult to hide. If you recruit some adventurers temporarily, you can effectively distract the eyes of the tracers and indirectly give him more room to play!"

"Master, what do you mean...... Lord Yunhai wants to be unfavorable to you......" Her face changed drastically, shocked.

If it is really as her master said, then the situation in the future may be really unpredictable......

"Alas, it could be him, it could not be him, and more likely I guessed in the wrong direction...... But no matter what, those Liuyun family guards can't be trusted, the risk is too great!" Yun Lang really didn't want to think about the worst, but if he didn't prepare early on this basis, then he might usher in the worst ending.

If he wants to live, he can't be sloppy in the slightest!

"If those guards are unreliable...... Do you want to reuse those temporarily recruited adventurers?" Vivien was also worried.

Yun Lang shook his head again: "In this situation, it is impossible for me to trust anyone other than you!"

When Vivian heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and her heart was full and sweet.

Inadvertently, most of her worries and annoyances were subsided.

She peeked down at her master, who was frowning and contemplating, and her unexplained confidence soared: My master was not a "waste" as he was rumored, he just didn't want to show it easily......! Wait and see, those who want to be disadvantageous to their owners will be surprised that they can't close their mouths and can't sleep in fear!

And Yun Lang, who was concentrating on thinking, soon thought of a "not very mature" idea......

Fifteen guards belonging to the Wind Wolf Adventure Group were temporarily reassigned to accompany Yunlang and Vivien to immediately return to the site where they had fought the Goblins to find something extremely important that had been lost.

Others, move on!

When the preparations were almost complete, Vivien came alone to announce: "Master, the token of the lord and the official letter of appointment, Vivien has already taken it. ”

She carefully took out two palm-sized golden objects and handed them to Yunlang together.

The lord's token is a square tile made of pure gold, with dragon scales on the edges, shining gold.

On the front of it is a lifelike pattern of the flying dragon soaring, the name of the Flying Dragon Empire, scattered among them, and on the back is a topographic map of the town of Shining Gold, as well as the full name of Yunlang, Light Feather, and Liuyun.

The letter of appointment has a gold-encrusted frame and a dull carving like dragon scales.

On its front, there is a lilac magic array, the seal of the appointment book. It is said that only the person who has been appointed can easily open the letter, and if someone else wants to forcibly disassemble the appointment letter, the magic array will be activated, and then directly destroy the appointment letter!

The lord's token and the official letter of appointment are the most important proof of the lord's status.

After Yunlang took it, he carefully collected it. Inadvertently, he sighed again.

In his opinion, if it weren't for these things, perhaps he would be lying in a gorgeous castle, enjoying the blessings leisurely...... However, now that these things are in his hands, he doesn't mind using them well.

"Master, those belongings are huge, and those guards will guard them, will they ....... It's too much damage!" Vivien reminded hesitantly.

"We're just following behind, and if something happens, there's a chance to make amends...... And I'm more worried about how many enemies are still in ambush ahead!" Yun Lang motioned for her to lift the energy storage tank, and said to himself uncertainly, "If my worries are wrong, even if I lose half of my belongings, it won't hurt." If my worries do happen, maybe we'll be able to get through this ......."

Vivien casually picked up nearly 200kg of energy storage tanks, and unconsciously followed behind Yunlang, walking towards the neatly arranged guards.
