Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Secret Birth of a Crisis (3)
"Although I am in charge of this Shadow Knight Battalion, I never dare to act on my own, let alone hide the casualties of such elite Shadow Knights, if the Shadow Knight is killed, this is an important matter, how dare I hide it privately?" The Lich's face did not change, and he continued: "Therefore, the old man does not know where the little county lord heard the news of the death of the Shadow Knight in Jialan Fishing Village. ”
"Hugh has to quibble, yesterday in that fishing village I heard you talking to the Captain of Shadow to find the man who killed the Shadow Knight. Seeing that the lich was so denial, Ye Lengyan said angrily.
"Oh, didn't the little county lord say that he had already learned the news of the death of the Shadow Knight, so he went to the fishing village to investigate, even so, it is clear that there was a source for a long time, why did this become what I said yesterday in the fishing village, if you are so untrustworthy and vainly trying to rely on the old man, please come up with real evidence, otherwise today, for such slander, the old man will definitely not give up!"
After that, the lich's eyes widened in anger, so it was not terrifying. For a while, there was silence in the hall.
"Hmph, isn't this easy?" Ye Lengyan snorted coldly, and said: "The Shadow Knights are only thirty-two generals, and at this moment, the whole camp of the Shadow Knights should come to the temple immediately to meet my lord, except for the Shadow Captain who was seriously injured yesterday, see if there are many of them, if there is one less, please also ask the Lich Lord to explain it." ”
The black unicorn looked at the cold smoke of the night, and a very slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was full of certainty. Then he looked at the lich coldly, and waited to see how he ended.
"Well, that's a good idea. The lich nodded, as if he didn't mind, and then gave an order to one of the guards: "Go, order the entire camp of the Shadow Knights to come to the temple immediately and meet my lord, except for the Captain of the Shadow who is seriously injured, there is no need to come." ”
When he said the words "no one is missing", the lich raised his voice so that everyone could hear it clearly.
In a few moments, the Shadow Knights arrived at the temple, and the thirty-one members stood in a formation and stood under the frozen throne.
Ye Lengyan glanced back and forth a few times, and found that except for the Captain Shadow who was not present, there were indeed thirty-one members, and there were many of them. Suddenly I was a little flustered, and said in my heart: My aunt clearly told me that the Shadow Knight was attacked and killed at the hands of a mysterious person, and in that fishing village, Captain Shadow also said the same, why is there no one missing today?
"Why, everyone saw it today, my Shadow Knight Battalion, all of them are here. I don't know where the Shadow Knight's death in the fishing village of Jialan came from?" said the lich.
The night was cold and smoky for a long time.
"In that case, what you said is purely false, then, please explain to you what you are doing in that fishing village, if you can't say a word or two, I will punish you for collaborating with the enemy and treason today!" said the lich.
"This ......" The night was cold and smoky for a while, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this. She couldn't help but glance at the black unicorn on the seat, and the black unicorn was also hiding a burning color in the corners of his eyes at this time, and his lips were clenched.
"That being the case, the fact that the Lich Protector sent the Shadow Knight to infiltrate Jialan is groundless, and it also gives the Lich Protector a clean slate. The Night Priest on the side spoke, "And the little county lord must have misbelieved the rumors of others, and he was worried about our clan, so he made an impulsive move. ”
"What the pastor said is that since it was a misunderstanding, now that it is clear, you will disperse. The black unicorn hurriedly said.
"I don't think it's that simple, right?" the lich didn't stop, and then glanced at everyone present, and finally looked at the black unicorn on the seat.
He continued: "Since the rumors have been broken, it is really unreasonable for the little county lord to make friends with the Jialan clan and hide in the fishing village. In Najialan Fishing Village, it is an indisputable fact that the little county lord and the Jialan people are very familiar with each other, and I and Captain Shadow have witnessed it. If you don't have much friendship with them, why should the people of Jialan fight to the death for you when you face the Tide Hunters?"
After finishing the sentence, in the hall, everyone looked at each other, whispered to each other, and their suspicious eyes swept over the faces of the night from time to time.
"I'd like to ask Lord Lich a question, too. Ye Leng Yan looked up and said.
"What's the problem?"
"Since it was inopportune for me to appear in the fishing village of Jialan at the southern tip of the continent, then why did Lord Lich and Captain Shadow also appear in the fishing village? Or did you have some ulterior motives, or did you keep following me with bad intentions?"
The lich had expected that Ye Lengyan would fight back, and said calmly: "I did follow you, just because the defenders stationed at the border of Shesheng reported a few days ago that they found that an unknown person had left the country without permission and entered the territory of the Dawning Clan. Therefore, the old man was deeply disturbed, so he traced it all the way, and he didn't expect to follow him to the fishing village to find out that this unknown person was actually the noble little county lord of my clan, the Night Ranger!"
The night was cold and smoky for a while, but I didn't expect the lich to use such a straightforward answer to sophistry. Who knows, although nominally entering and exiting the border or entering enemy territory has always required instructions from all levels, for the convenience of acting or carrying out tasks, people above the level of the chief have always been accustomed to coming and going freely. Now the lich is actually using this rule as an excuse to make it clear that he has already planned and dealt with it.
But on the bright side, his words were reasonable, so that everyone present could not argue.
Furthermore, if Ye Lengyan argues that he is not violating the rules, but is assigned by the Black Qilin, then he happens to follow the path of the Lich, and puts the Black Qilin in an embarrassing and questioning situation.
Ye Lengyan was so smart, he immediately understood the mystery of these words, and he was silent. She felt so embarrassed that she couldn't tell the truth, so she had to force her inner impulses and dissatisfaction, and stared into the lich's eyes for a long time. She saw the cunning in it, and she also saw the old spiciness. Compared with the lich, he is indeed much more tender.
"If you can't say it, it means that there is an ulterior motive, and now that our clan is trying to rejuvenate, how can we tolerate someone who betrays the clan and collaborates with the enemy, which ruins the future of our great cause. The lich spoke loudly to the people, and then looked at the black unicorn and continued, "Please also ask my lord to understand the righteousness and deal with the night cold smoke as a crime of treason." ”
"This matter has yet to be further clarified, and it is not too late to make a decision after it has been clarified. The Black Kirin said.
"Could it be that my lord is trying to shield himself for personal gain?" the lich asked.
"If Leng Yan really betrays the enemy, I will not cover it up, and I will punish it severely. It's just that Leng Yan is my own niece, raised by me, and I know her temperament very well, and she is loyal to me and to my family, and will never have two hearts. "The black unicorn is colorful.
"Since he is loyal and has no second heart, why does the little lord not say a word? Isn't there really some secret, which my old man said, so that he is speechless?"
"Leng Yan, I believe you must be innocent, even if you say it, what are you afraid of?" said the Night Priest as he walked up to Ye Leng Yan.
The Priest of the Night is the enlightener of the Night Cold, how can he doubt that the Night Coldsmoke is the unrighteous person.
"Priest, I ......" Ye Lengyan was about to speak, she glanced at the black unicorn, knowing that this matter could not be explained, otherwise it would harm the black unicorn, if the lich knew that it was the black unicorn who sent her to secretly investigate herself, she would definitely make a mess, and even openly usurp the throne.
"I'll tell you the facts in the future, but at the moment, I don't have much to say. I beg only to be able to believe in the cold smoke of the night. Ye Lengyan raised his head and said to everyone.
"In the future, jokes! On such an important occasion today, if you don't say anything, how can you teach me to believe you?" The lich flicked his sleeves, and then asked the black unicorn: "Dare to ask my lord, if there is no explanation for today's affairs, how can you serve the people in the future?"
Everyone in the hall nodded their heads, and the discussion continued, as if they all felt that the lich was justified. The Demon Wizard Leon and the Soul Breaker Xiao Wubu, who were standing on the side of the crowd, looked at the Lich and Night Lengyan back and forth without saying a word.
"Black Qilin, if you can't make up your mind, or want to find a personal cover-up, then the old man will deal with it for you today. Seeing that the black unicorn was silent, the lich took a step forward and waved his hand to call the guards in.
"Wait!" The black unicorn suddenly patted the armrest of the Frozen Throne and said, "I have my own decision on the matter of the cold smoke in the night, and of course I will not show favoritism. ”
The black unicorn glanced at everyone in the seat, and said word by word: "Come on, take Ye Lengyan down immediately, seal the Famen, and put him in the dungeon, and when I find out, I will send someone to find out the truth, and I will publicly convict you on a certain day, and I will definitely give my people a clear explanation." I, the Black Qilin, will never shield any spies, nor will I kill an innocent person by mistake. ”
As the words fell, the black unicorn gritted his teeth and endured the pain and waved out a palm of the Extremely Cold Seal, and the palm qi penetrated through the back of the night cold smoke, instantly sealing the night cold smoke spiritual power life. Immediately, four frost guards came in from outside the hall door, restrained the night cold smoke with iron chains, and escorted them to the netherworld dungeon under the Shesheng Peak.
The black unicorn gritted his teeth and looked at the smug lich, and after a pause, he began to say, "In addition, Leon and Xiao Wubu can be appointed to investigate this matter. ”
"This is very true, Leon and Xiao Wubu have lived in a simple place, they have been impartial for many years, and they have quite prestige in our clan, and this matter is handled by the two of them, and they will definitely be able to give everyone a clear result. The Night Priest hurriedly agreed, fearing that the lich would come up with something new.
The lich slanted at the Black Kirin and the Night Priest, knowing what was on their minds, he snorted coldly, "Everyone knows that the two of them are trusted in the clan, so there are two of them!"
With that, the lich flicked his sleeves and strode out, leaving with a group of cronies and the thirty-one Shadow Knights.
