Yes, he cried. A man who has long been an adult is now scared and crying by himself, and even death has not been able to frighten him, but now he is scared and crying by himself.

It's a bit ridiculous for an adult to be frightened into tears by his own imagination, after all, as a mature person, he has long stopped worrying about those ghosts and the like. What's more, being a thief requires boldness, but now as a thief, a thief who kills more people than many people have crossed bridges, is frightened and cried by his own imagination.

His pale face and trembling voice came out of his purple mouth, "I say! I really say it all, and I beg your Highness to spare me." ”

However, Zhao Yulong didn't seem to hear his words, but continued to look at the chessboard: "I said before, if we don't talk about these things, how can I, as a lord, break my promise? Let's continue to play chess! Don't worry! Ten quarters of an hour is not short, and I should be able to play a game." ”

"No, no, Your Highness, please let me say that this is my own free will, and it has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to worry about any impact on your credibility, all this is my willing, voluntary!" The thief almost cried as if he was asking for something.

However, Zhao Yulong still didn't care much, just frowned slightly: "No, no, how can I do this? For you thieves, it is my job to keep secrets for your employer, I can't break your rules, it's too unkind, don't do it, let's not talk about these pleasant things, let's continue to play chess!"

"No, Your Highness, I don't think I can shield her. I'm not human, and I shouldn't have come to assassinate His Highness. Now please give me a chance to atone for my sins, and please let me continue. The thief's eyes had never been so determined, and this was the first time he had decided to do something he would never regret.

"Well, if you want to say it, then say it! I'll listen, but you'll only have ten quarters of an hour, and after ten quarters of an hour I won't hear what I want to hear, and you'll still be just like your brothers. Saying that, Zhao Yulong put down the chess pieces in his hand and looked at the thief.

"Well, thank you, Your Highness. It was Lady Leah Tork, who had called us to assassinate Your Highness, Your Lord. Because you had her children killed, she hated you so much that she wanted us to kill you, and said that if we didn't succeed, we would send the next batch. ”

Speaking of this, the thief looked at Zhao Yulong with a look of expectation, and he hoped that Zhao Yulong would let him go because of this.

But he didn't expect Zhao Yulong's face to soften, but looked at him with a more ferocious gaze: "You are lying, how could Lady Leah Tork come to kill me, she didn't see who killed her child, why did she bite me?

The thief saw that Zhao Yulong didn't believe it, and now the whole person was also anxious: "Really no, Your Highness, I can swear by me, I have absolutely no words to deceive Your Highness." If I'm lying, let the Light punish me!"

"But you're not a paladin, and you're not sanctioned by the Light, so you're lying. And besides, we've spent two quarters of an hour talking, and now we have eight quarters of an hour left, and oh no! ”

"I'm really not lying, bracelet, bracelet! I have the bracelet she gave us, it's something to order us, it has her unique skeletal butterfly motif on it, and she told us to kill you and gave this thing. If it fails, she won't see it, and she'll let someone else come, and you've seen my ring, you know there is!"

And now Zhao Yulong took out something from his hand unhurriedly, this is indeed a bracelet, taken out of this thief's ring. And there was a butterfly with skull wings printed on the bracelet, and it was clear that he wasn't lying.

"I see, even if you tell the truth, then I will believe you for once. But where are the thieves, I want to know where all of them are, or I won't sleep well tonight, so will you say it in five quarters of an hour?

Saying that, Zhao Yulong got up and looked over there, and then looked at the thief again: "It looks like it's almost over there, I think we shouldn't have to wait for five quarters of an hour, it's a pity that this conversation is so short." ”

After speaking, Zhao Yulong was about to go out from the door of the interrogation room, and just as Zhao Yulong was about to close the door, the thief, who was unwilling to continue, spoke.

"To the east! just east of Kotenberg! only five hundred horses from Kotenburg! there we thieves in the employ of Baroness Leah Tork are there. All of us are here! Because killing His Highness is our top priority, and we must not fail, so the Lady called everyone over!"

"Really?" Zhao Yulong, who had already put his hand on the door, sat back again: "It seems that you are really a person who is not righteous enough, and even betrayed your employer and brothers, how much use do you say you have to live?"

"But I've already said it, kill me! I don't want to be interrogated like that, I've already recruited them all! I don't want to be treated like that!" said the thief, hiding his face again and weeping.

But this time is different from last time, last time it was just pure fear. And this time it contains a lot, a lot!

He felt sorry for his employer, and he was sorry for his brothers who did things together. In fact, they are like brothers and sisters, and if it weren't for their different bloodlines, they would really be like a family.

But now the thief, who is one of the family members, has betrayed his family, but there is no way, he really does not want to endure such torture.

It might be better if he didn't say anything and just went straight to the execution, and he probably wouldn't have said it yet. But now it's different, he doesn't accept it directly, but feels such a scene first.

Yes, whether it was the cry of pain or the tragic scene, it kept echoing in his mind, constantly reminding him that he would be next.

So, his body was not hurt, but his spirit was broken. And the collapse was complete, now he felt that he was sorry for the whole world, and he didn't think about anything anymore, he just wanted Zhao Yulong to be able to pull out the sword on his waist to give him a good death and let him die well.

But after waiting for a long time, Zhao Yulong didn't do anything. Instead, he smiled and said, "Torture? Do you think I'm going to do something like that? I'm sorry that we Dongfang will be humane, and life and death require physical integrity, and I won't ask them to do these things." ”

"What......? Can...... What did I hear before, and why did you come to my interrogation room?" the thief was a little confused.

"I seem to have told you not to underestimate illusion at the beginning. Zhao Yulong said and smiled: "In addition, this is not an interrogation room, but a palace." ”

Zhao Yulong's voice was very low in the last half of his speech, and with that last sound, the thief's brain seemed to be stung by something, and he lost consciousness.

When he regained his senses and opened his eyes, he found that this was the palace, and the surroundings were already full of people. Zhao Yulong is here, the king is here, Duke Walker is also here, and of course their respective servants and guards are also here.

At this time, Zhao Yulong turned to Duke Walker and said, "How is it, Lord Duke, this is not my frame, right! You all heard what you said just now, Leah Teucer assassinated me is true, so what should I do next Don't need to tell me, Lord Duke should understand!"

Walker naturally didn't have anything to say, because he had indeed seen the scene just now. And it was completely untouched, so what could he say? What had become a fact could not be concealed, and now it could only be recognized.

"Well, if she dares to do this to His Highness the Lord, it is not a pity to kill him, and those thieves must also die. Yes, his husband will also die. Walker didn't say much, and began to command his men.

"You can't do it so desperately, that's your son! Lord Duke, do you want to kill each other like this? But there is a saying in our East that tiger poison does not eat children, and I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to do this!"

"What's wrong, I don't care what you say in the East. In short, as far as we in the West are concerned, as long as we violate the laws of the state, no matter who the other party is, even the king must be punished. Since she assassinated Lord Lord, she naturally had to deal with it in accordance with the law, otherwise how could this become a rule?" said Duke Walker and left.

"I'm relieved to have the duke's words, if you break the law in the future, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" said Zhao Yulong smiled.

"That's natural, if I really have that day, let His Highness the Lord deal with it, I'm afraid His Highness the Lord won't be able to wait for that day. With that, Duke Walker walked away quickly, but the smell of gunpowder in the air did not dissipate.

"Brother, it looks like you've him off!" Looking at Walker's back as he left, Yinhu looked at Zhao Yulong very calmly.

"yes, but I think he's not like Leah Teucer and the like, he definitely doesn't work according to emotions, so it's going to be a lot of trouble for us to deal with him. But I think he'll be a little more restrained after picking it out now, don't you think?"

"I think so. Saying that, Yinhu took out a chessboard from his pendant and put it on the ground: "But brother, I saw you playing chess with that thief just now, and I think your chess skills are not bad, why don't we play a game?"

"Yes, I would also like to see how His Majesty's chess skills are, so that I can learn from them. Saying that, Zhao Yulong sat down as if he was nothing, and put his hand on the chess game.

"My chess skills are terrible, what is there to learn. If I make a mistake later, you have to let me do it, or I will definitely lose!"

"This will not work, Your Majesty, and perhaps you will be displeased. But there is a saying in our East: 'Life is like a chess game, and there are no regrets.' This chessboard is like life, once you have taken this step, you can never regret it, you can only continue to walk. Therefore, we have to think about every step we take, understand? Your Majesty!"

"Naturally, I understand, I mean, naturally I know that there are no regrets. Just like we do now, we have to pay attention to every step we take. But I still like to play chess because I have a lot of time to think before I make a move, but I don't have much time to think about it now. Everything was so fast, it was like I saw you make you a lord, I almost didn't think about it. ”

Saying that, Yinhu's hand unconsciously put the chess pieces on the chessboard, and hurriedly said: "Suffer! Just now, when I was talking, this one didn't pay attention, and he played indiscriminately." ”

"Although it is a son who fell indiscriminately, His Majesty is not wrong after all. You just happened to grasp the whole battle situation, making it difficult for the other party to move an inch!" As he spoke, Zhao Yulong looked at the chessboard and then at Yinhu.

"Yes! I was a son at random, but I didn't want this step to go so wonderfully, I guess this is what you Dongfang call fate! There are times in life that must be there, and there is no time to force it! It's just that you tell me how to go to the next son?"

"Let me see the next chess pieces. Saying that, Zhao Yulong looked at the chessboard, but his mind did not fall on these chess pieces.

"The enemy can't eat this pawn yet, because if you want to eat him, you will consume us too much. And at this time, the king will be exposed, and then the place only needs this piece to make you lose. ”

"Yes, I know that, even if you don't say it. For although this pawn is the greatest threat to my king, he cannot move it, and he cannot pose any threat to me in a short time. In addition, the one I fell before just blocked him, so he didn't dare to move around, so it was better for him not to move. ”

"Then I think Your Majesty should eat this piece!" Saying that, Zhao Yulong picked up the chess piece on Yinhu's side and took a step towards his side, eating one of his own chess pieces.

"The chess piece of the place may not seem like a big threat, but it is the deadliest threat. It is not difficult to get rid of it now, and His Majesty can do it by taking this one, because the one who is the most threatening is blocking his retreat. And His Majesty's previous son just ate him. ”

"Uh-huh!" Yinhu looked at the chessboard thoughtfully, "This is indeed a good move, not only does it eliminate the most likely threat, but it also makes the one before me further block the one with the greatest threat in the place." By this time, my son could still slash left and right, but that one had been pinned down and couldn't move. ”

"And once those pieces are all removed, there is no way for this one to escape!" Saying that Zhao Yulong disagreed with the rules, he moved these chess pieces a lot, and the last winning situation appeared in front of Yinhu's eyes.

"Looks like I won my move!"

"Yes, Your Majesty won. Zhao Yulong helped Yinhu clean up the chessboard.

"I just don't know if this game of chess can go as smoothly as this game of chess in reality, and if it does, then I will really win. ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will be such a day. And I can assure you that you won't lose a piece in this game. Saying that, Zhao Yulong walked towards the outside of the palace, the thief before had already been dragged down by the paladin and killed, and Zhao Yulong happened to be on the same path.

But he wasn't going to the gallows, he was going to Cotenburg, and he was going to make the next move, so he couldn't stay where he was.

Duke Walker's efficiency is not slow, and when it comes to what he wants to do, he has naturally done it all now. Yes, all, including his son, was not spared.

But he wasn't necessarily sad, in fact he hadn't had an expression on his face for a long time. Even if he saw Zhao Yulong, even if he was angry. But he never had any expression.

Maybe it's because the skin on his face is so wrinkled that he can't adjust their movements, or maybe it's because he really doesn't have any feelings, and he doesn't know why.

Yes, his son died, and his grandson died the day before yesterday. But he couldn't say anything, he didn't think of anything. Over the years, the idea of power has filled his brain with power, and it is difficult to cram anything into it now.

And his heart, presumably, is because he is too old, too old. He was so old that he didn't even know that he had any intentions, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling. It's just that now I always feel that something is missing, and I always feel that this castle is too big!

His children have gone to control the fiefdoms, and they are all powerful lords. And the children of his children remained in those fiefdoms, and they did not come to see him at all these years.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still in control of the army over there, he wouldn't even know that he still had these children, and these children had brought him grandchildren or granddaughters.

And in this Kotenberg, he left behind a son. But he had been killed just now, and his son's son had been killed yesterday.

And the murderer was still talking by his bedside last night, but he didn't do anything. He didn't know what was going on with him, if it was someone else, he would have had the urge to fight with that person, but he didn't, and finally he fell asleep.

Yes, this castle is really space, there are a lot less, only the next person is really space.

However, the visit of a visitor made him forget everything for a while, and he looked at the visitor with some excitement and anger: "What are you still doing here, I have killed all the people involved in these things according to the law, do you want to kill me together?"

"No, no, I think the Duke misunderstood, I didn't mean that. It's just that I think you should understand that someone wants us to fight for him to benefit. ”

"I naturally know that you are my Marquis of Laika, he has always thought so, and he also killed my grandson, he killed my grandson. The last two words were spoken by the Duke in such a whisper that even he wondered if he had said it himself.

"In that case, then I think Duke, it is necessary for us to join forces and destroy him first. After all, keeping him won't be good for you and me in the future, will it?"

"Yes, I think so!" the duke, not knowing what was wrong, suddenly became excited.
